During the cookies and lemonade break during JCDL this afternoon I surprised one of the well-respected elders of the field with this question: are we really making progress? are we winning a fight against entropy 1? I wasn't out for a quote for publication at the time so I won't reveal the individual's name, but I will report that there was a chuckle then the reply "cautiously optimistic."

For the record, I did attend JCDL2006
If you look along the right-most row in this picture, about midway vertically in the shot, you can see someone in a cream-colored shirt with an Apple laptop. (You can tell it is an Apple laptop because of the glowing white logo in the center.) That's me.

Librarians as Gatekeepers
The plenary session of JCDL this morning was Jonathan Zittrain (Harvard Law School and University of Oxford) entitled "Open Information: Redaction, Restriction, and Removal." This was so good that I couldn't stand to stop and take notes. I did write down one bit: "Libraries are the best hope…for the controlled release of information." His point was that the library profession is a trusted gatekeeper — librarians have a track record of providing orderly access to shared information resources and taking seriously the responsibility to provide access to those resources under the terms with which they were acquired. (Although there was a great deal of humming in the room at one key point of the presentation — those that were there know what I mean.) Can publishers entrust content to us such that the library controls the DRM that protects the content? Would publishers be willing to give the library the content in an unrestricted form with the promise, in the form of a legal agreement, that the library will apply the appropriate DRM at the appropriate time? Could that be a new role for libraries in this new DRM-happy society?
JCDL2006 Monday Brain Dump
JCDL is ranking high one of the most useful (and when not useful one of the most interesting) meetings I've attended. This is my first time here, and although I'd heard about it before I did not realize what a treat it would be to attend. I'm a practice-oriented guy with an eye towards useful (implementable) theoretical stuff, and so far JCDL has hit that sweet-spot very nicely. The down side is this — here at the start of the second day of the meeting I just need to dump my brain into this and a few other postings and hope that I'll have a chance to get back to these thoughts some day.
Fedora Advanced Applications Panel at JCDL2006
I am excited almost beyond description to be sharing a panel with Sandy Payette (Cornell
University, USA), Andrew Treloar (Monash University, Australia), Matthias Razum (Fiz
Karlsruhe, Germany), and Carl Lagoze (Cornell University, USA) at the upcoming Joint Conference on Digital Libraries. The tutorial is on Sunday afternoon (Sunday, June 11, 2006, 1:30-5:00pm local time) with the title "The Fedora Service Framework – Advanced Applications and Panel Discussion". Sandy's recent announcement include this abstract:

Your comments on Not Cricket!
Not Cricket!
If anyone tried to bribe Zinedine Zidane, Rivaldo or even Roy Keane to throw a match, how much would they have to pay them? All of a sudden US$25,000 doesn't seem so much. Is the real issue greedy players? If it is then you have three options - 1) Pay them more (which would sadly mean the advent of test, one day and county cricket on the nation's screens daily to bring up the tv revenue - wouldn't that be a shame!) 2) Pay them less (it is a gentleman's sport after all!) 3) Leave it up to a vacillating International Cricket Council to declare that there is no significant problem, despite Beefy's clear statement that there is a real issue with this even today. Maybe I'm not the only guy in England who wants us to win the Ashes back fairly...will it happen?
Steve Coe
Although I played cricket at school until my son showed a particular aptitude for the game I never "loved" it. I would like to explore the corruption and nepotism associated with the selection and training of young players at junior level.
I watched the programme and thought it was a disgrace for the South African cricketers to even think about doing anything that might harm the game's honour is shocking. I think any offender who is caught should be named and shamed no matter how famous or rich. It's ruining a brilliant game which I love. It also harms the image of the genuine
hard playing players. Your programme was a much needed reminder to the ICC to improve things and stamp this out.
What about the umpires? There was no mention of them at all in the programme yet they are in the best place to affect the outcome of a match. Some of their decisions last year should call them in question at least!
In response to the edition of Panorama detailing corruption in cricket, I would like to address the programme's willingness to direct the corruption towards Sharjah, SA and India. In particular, the programme mentioned that Coca-Cola had pulled out of sponsoring the latest tournament at Sharjah. Additionally, the programme asked why the ICC were recognising the one day matches played there. Now surely, as the programme indicated, corruption in cricket is much larger than at first anticipated and even the England cricket team is not immune from it. Bearing this in mind, should the forthcoming triangular one day tournament in England not be subject to scrutiny?
The not cricket programme ignores the fact that Australia cricketers have been found of involvement in giving information to bookmakers, but the ACB kept quiet for years, now top Australians are in charge of running the ICC, where is the credibility?
Why didn't the Panorama team point the finger at any of the English players, surely there are some who have taken a bribe here and there, as we all know, our cricketers were poorly paid for many years and the temptation must have been great to earn a few more bucks by giving information about games coming up, or even throwing some matches. I don't believe, as a nation, all our sportsman are completely innocent of any dealings with the underworld, that would be naive.
To help solve the problem of Match fixing, I believe that the ICC have to be consistent in what they do. For example, certain players have been banned for life or have been fined and suspended for x amount of matches e.g. Herschelle Gibbs, Salim Malik & Azharrudin. But, why has there been no action taken against Mark Waugh, Tim May (retired), Shane Warne & Alec Stewart because They are all involved as well.
Your so called report on match fixing really made my blood boil. It was so pro-England and anti-SA and India, it was pathetic! How you can call it a report is beyond me, it was bias! I think that the report was very harsh on Hansie Cronje and I for one won't stand for it! You pommies should stop shifting the blame and take responsibility for things! You all look like fools to the rest of the world anyway! Stop being so narrow minded and look at yourselves, everyone makes mistakes. Hansie has exposed the corrupt side of cricket, we should be thanking him and stop insulting him. Whoever says Hansie Cronje ruined the game of cricket knows nothing about him or the game.
Why does Ian Botham not help, in real terms, the effort to stamp out corruption in his sport?
He is of my own age, and has been, until now, my hero as far as the game is concerned!
I do go to & host cricket "days" at Old Trafford, but I must admit, I will not be taking my youngest again if it is not sorted out.
In addition to the damage to a great game there is the damage to the punter's wallet! The old adage is "never bet on anything that can talk", well proved by this dreadful affair.
I can confirm to yourselves that matchfixing is still going on. If you look into the game now most players have to take bribes just so they can get into the team and play. India is trying to clean up the act but a few names are being bribed. The game has come into disgrace, this is when money takes control of cricketers. The ICC must look into this issue more. The game needs to be saved - its in crisis.
Having just watched Panorama on the back of an extraordinary day's play from Lord's when 15 Pakistani wickets fell, one is almost afraid to ask whether it is possible that other forces have been at work today.
I notice that in all this furore and talk of large sums of money there have been no British bookmakers mentioned. Perhaps that is because bookmaking in Britain is legal, and legally controlled. Perhaps the real answer is to legalise and control bookmaking in the countries where the corrupt offers are coming from, and take bookmaking out of the hands of criminals.
A remarkably revelation-free edition of Panorama. I don't believe that there was anything on that programme that couldn't have been gleaned from a site like CricInfo or the archives of any decent newspaper.

It's coined as being 'the world's smallest Mega Drive', and measuring roughly the size of a matchbox, it could possibly be.
Little in size, tiny in price, but big on promise - this little box of tricks houses some of the most revered and treasured games the SEGA Mega Drive ever had to offer. With Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic Spinball, Sonic 3D, Alex Kidd, and another five fairly generic games - it's the ideal stocking filler or gift for any gaming enthusiast.
The games themselves are just as fun as they've ever been - our favourite blue hedgehog barely shows his age when it comes to playability. It's only a little clunky for today's standards, which is a fantastic achievement for a 22 year-old game.
The controller itself, although solid, is not particularly ergonomic because of its miniature size. Its edges feel uncomfortable during extended play sessions, mainly because the layout mimics the arcade style with an eight way directional stick and with four face buttons. The curvy traditional Mega Drive gamepad design may have been a more comfortable way to have gone.
The portability of the device is questionable. Sure, it can be placed on the end of a key chain, but having it in your pocket could easily lead to a few unwanted holes or a couple of tenderised thighs. The AV cable which comprises a yellow video and white audio plug at one end, leads into a mini USB which plugs into the Mega Drive Nano at the other. It's the only way of hooking it to a television, and Carrying around an extra lead further makes portability questionable. It's relatively easy if you carry a bag, it's not if you don't.
The chosen method of video output keeps things simple, but for people with a large flat-panel TV every block and every imperfection will be as clear as the light of day.
Claiming it's a Mega Drive, maybe a little over-zealous. The controller isn't right, and there's no room for further games to be played, but for its price, the Mega Drive Nano is a great piece of kit, and incredible value for money. It's perfect for those who don't want to spend too much on a slice of retro gaming heaven.
For those willing to splash out a little more cash on something to play the golden-oldies on - it may be worth checking out Blaze's GameGadget.

Linkwood 12 Year Old Reviews
6 Customer Reviews
Quite good, very floral with a slight acetone note on the end. Not heavy or rich at all.
Fresh and fragrant, with grassy and floral notes and a a delicate body, traces of honey and soft maltiness. Truly enjoyable.
Very good indeed. Not overly sherried like some Speysides can be. Very complex with beautiful wood. Obviously have access to some fantastic casks.
This was the first scotch I ever tried in Scotland. Absolutely amazing stuff. I didn't know it was called Flora & Fauna until today, and how appropriate. My favourite Speyside. So fragrant too! I wouldn't say it's very similar to Glenmorangie Original. The latter is more fruity.
I was very relieved when I discovered that it wasn't comparable at all to the Glenmorangie Original. If it had been Rico and I would have disagreed on the overall conclusion: as it is, 'superb' is quite right!
Really comparable to Glenmorangie 10YO (now "The Original") !!!Superb:)

A group of North Texas women said an argument with an American Airlines flight attendant landed them with a three-hour interview with a terrorism task force last week.
Kristine Kuklin and Yvette George said they and their five friends were asked to quiet down Sept. 10 while they were traveling to West Palm Beach, Fla., from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
They said they were having a good time on the plane, laughing and taking pictures of each other, when a first-class flight attendant came back to coach to tell them they were disturbing the first-class passengers.
An American Airlines spokesperson said the women were disruptive and did not follow crew member orders.
The airline spokesperson said the women refused to put up their cell phones and took photos of the flight attendant, which is a security issue.
Kuklin said they put up their phones when asked and took a photo of the flight attendant, who they said harassed them, for use in a complaint to the airline.
The women said they were interrogated by a terrorism task force for three hours upon arriving in Florida.
The FBI said no charges were being filed at this time.
Kuklin said the incident ruined her weekend trip, which was planned after her yearlong battle with breast cancer.
"It was good to be with my friends, however the knots in the stomach and that underlying, 'Are we going to get back on because each one of our names are tagged,' it just never went away," Kuklin said. "They still haven't."

Bakers are making changes
A Black Country bakery firm today closed its shop in Stourbridge, along with two in Birmingham.
A Black Country bakery firm today closed its shop in Stourbridge, along with two in Birmingham.
The Firkin shop in High Street had a notice on the door advising customers it will shut.
A manager said three staff were being made redundant.
The head office of the firm which trades as Newbridge Bakery Ltd, is in Black Lake, West Bromwich.
Boss Sarah Bolderston, who runs the firm with husband Ian, said the closure of the Stourbridge shop was for commercial reasons, but the company intended to open a new branch in the town.
She also confirmed a shop in Kingstanding closed yesterday and one in Harborne will close tomorrow.
Mrs Bolderston said: "These shops were no longer appropriate for the needs of our growing business."
She added a deal for a new shop in Harborne had been secured and would open soon and there were plans to open five new stores at undisclosed locations.
Newbridge Bakery Ltd previously traded as Firkins Foods which went into administration last year.

The Elmira Jackals have won a season high four consecutive games to improve to 16-22-4 for 36 points, and move to within 11 points of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Elmira opened last week with a 4-1 home win against Kalamazoo on Wednesday. Mike Vaskivuo (1g-2a) and Jakub Culek (3a) led the way for the Jackals with three points each while Neil Conway turned aside 28 Kalamazoo shots to pick up the win in net.
The Jackals began a five-game road trip on Friday, rallying for a 4-3 overtime win at Fort Wayne. The Komets scored the first three goals of the game, but Elmira pulled within one after two periods on goals from Vaskivuo and Artem Demkov, and Culek forced overtime a little over seven minutes into the third period. Dane Walters scored the game-winner for Elmira with 1:16 remaining in the extra session.
Elmira ended the week with a 4-2 win at Toledo on Saturday. Four different Jackals found the back of the net, while Culek added a pair of assists. Conway was strong again in goal for the Jackals, stopping 38 of 40 Walleye shots.
Conway, who started the season in Europe before signing with the Jackals on Jan. 22, is 4-0-0 in five appearances for Elmira with a 1.69 goals-against average and a save percentage of .951. He has made at least 35 saves in three of his four starts with the team.
Vaskivuo has been a key addition for the Jackals since coming over in a trade with Fort Wayne on Jan. 6. He has posted 21 points (8g-13a) and a +13 rating in just 12 games with Elmira. Culek has posted 10 points (3g-7a) in his last nine games and is tied for 11th among ECHL rookies with 26 points (8g-18a) in 31 games this season.
The Jackals continue their road trip with three games this week, visiting Kalamazoo on Wednesday and Evansville on Friday and Saturday.

With spring training opening next week, MLB Network analyst Al Leiter talks about the newly thrifty Yankees, their older players and the rest of the AL East with The Post's Justin Terranova. The former Yankees and Mets lefty will be part of MLBN's "30 clubs in 30 days" series which starts next week.
Q: Was this the new Yankees we saw this offseason with very little movement?
A: The Yankees are trying to get their payroll down and it was pretty evident based on their activity this winter. But the re-signing of Ichiro was a good one and knowing that there could be a problem with Alex Rodriguez, they signed (Kevin) Youkilis. They could catch lightning in a bottle with that one.
Q: Do you think there are more question marks than usual around this team?
A: Yeah, you look at the concerns with Derek (Jeter) and his ankle at 38 years old and Mariano (Rivera) as your closer coming off his ACL injury. Then there's CC Sabathia for the first time in his career coming off the elbow cleanup. … As we sit here on paper, I'd say it's going to be an interesting year with some concern.
Q: Do you think the Blue Jays' flurry of moves instantly makes them contenders?
A: You add R.A. Dickey, I really like Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle is going to impart a lot of his experience and that will really help Ricky Romero. … When you look at the addition of (Jose) Reyes, a healthy (Jose) Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion those guys are going to thump. This is a good team, and they are going to compete.
Q: Do you expect the Red Sox to bounce back?
A: It's going to be a hell of a lot better. I don't think there's going to be any sidebar messes. I really like the under-the-radar move bringing in (Joel) Hanrahan, which moves (Andrew) Bailey back to a setup man. That is one of the strongest bullpens in the American League. They should not have been a last-place team.
Q: Was it the right move for the Mets to trade Dickey?
A: Yes, the Mets aren't in position to win for the next two or three years because of the makeup of their team and how good the Nationals are and are going to be. You sort of let it play out. It will be fun watching these prospects and seeing which ones become All-Stars.


text: I'm checking into the Contemporary tomorrow night, but during the day I'll be hanging out at DeLeon Springs State Park. I definitely want to try the "cook your own pancakes" thing at the Sugar Mill restaurant in the park, but on the way back to Kissimmee I wanted to stop off at a local fish joint. I was thinking Lee & Ricks? It sounds fun but there isn't much info out there on this place. Can anyone give me a description-do they have things besides oysters? I'm also open to any other suggestions. Thank you!!!!!!!!

How the Angels lost 08/25: Stanton's big night leads Marlins to victory
How the Angels lost: It was the fear of all Angels fans once it was learned Garrett Richards' season would be done. The Cy Young candidate would be replaced in the rotation by someone who was far from a Cy Young candidate. After Wade LeBlanc retired six of the first seven batters he faced, the Marlins exploded for three runs in the third inning and four in the fourth. Six of the runs were charged to LeBlanc. It was a big night for local products Giancarlo Stanton (Sherman Oaks Notre Dame) and Christian Yelich (Westlake) of the Marlins. They combined for four hits and five RBI.
Stud of the game: Giancarlo Stanton. For no other reason than he came to an American League ballpark and showed the fans what they never get to see up close — his incredible power. The ball he hit for a three-run home run in the top of the fourth inning danced around in the rock pile for his 33rd homer of the season.
Dud of the game: Wade LeBlanc had a rough outing. No one was expecting him to be Garrett Richards, but taking the place of the injured Angel in the rotation, LeBlanc was expected to be serviceable and get the team to a "certain spot" in a game where they could have a chance to win. LeBlanc's night lasted just 3.1 innings.
Key stat: LeBlanc gave up six earned runs; that's one more than Richards allowed in his previous four starts combined.
They said it: "There's no doubt he's mega-talented and a lot of stuff that he does reminds you of a lot of people –anyone from Vlad Guerrero to Mike Trout," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said the Marlins' Stanton.
What's next: The Marlins will be at Angel Stadium for two more. Tuesday, the club will send Matt Shoemaker (12-4, 3.56 ERA) to the mound against former Dodger Nathan Eovaldi (6-8, 4.06 ERA).
FINAL – #Angels 1, Marlins 7
@MattShoemaker33 will look to get the Halos back on track tomorrow at 7:05 PST.

text: Johannesburg - The government and the SA Older Persons Forum have agreed to work together to improve services for older people.Following a meeting between the forum and the deputy Social Development Minister, Bathabile Dlamini, they agreed to co-operate on some key points, a statement said on Thursday.These include the finalisation of an implementation plan for the Older Persons Act which came into operation on April 1 this year and the official launch of the act on July 15, 2010 at the Ugu municipality in KwaZulu-Natal.They would also co-operate on the registration of services for older people and the review of funding criteria for frail-care residential facilities.Department spokesperson Mandla Mathebula said that after the act had been implemented, they had embarked on a series of awareness programmes to let old people, NGOs and other organisations who work for their rights, know about the key points of the act and this would continue.One of the key points was that elderly people were encouraged to live an active life and not fritter away their golden years in front of a television set or in bed.This included participating in sport and part of the discussions included the "Golden Games" which promotes this. Old age homes would also be involved in promoting the active life concept.Mathebula said another key factor was providing old people with protection, including the provision of social grants.This was so they were not dependent on their families. Social workers had to monitor that the elderly were not stripped of these benefits by abusive family members.

This is not amusing...he looks very neglected and/or abused.I know that chickens peck at each other and when one is sick or injured, the others will gang up on it, sometimes pecking at it until it's dead. I hope this poor thing was helped.

I used stop-slip on the head of a black bear rug. The fur is now noticably duller than the rest of the hide, with a chaulky residue from spraying the stop-slip on the fur. Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it. I tried wiping it with a paper towel soaked with laquer thinner and didn't seem to make any difference.
Return to Gamehead Taxidermy Category Menu
I'm a little confused. Why would you spray Stop-Slip on the head of a bear rug. It's designed to stop slippage before a hide is tanned and the normal tanning procedures will remove any possible residue. I suspect the product contains alum to seal the hair follicles, but again, after a hide is tanned, the product does no good.
I'd suggest using a cloth saturated with hot soapy water and washing the hair. Then towel dry, blow dry, and then spray some furniture polish on a soft cloth and rub it into the hair.

There are seven confirmed candidates for the Presidential election which will be held on 27 October.
They are Fine Gael's Gay Mitchell, Labour's Michael D Higgins, Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness and Independents Mary Davis, Seán Gallagher, David Norris and Dana Rosemary Scallon.
The first major debate between all seven candidates took place this afternoon on News At One.
1508 Missed the News At One debate? Listen back to it here.
1442 What have you made of the campaign so far? Post a comment here.
1418 Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said all candidates in the Presidential election have to up front with the electorate.
Mr Kenny was responding to a question as to whether Senator David Norris should publish all clemency letters he wrote on behalf of his former partner who was convicted of statutory rape in 1997.
He said the people have a "right to know" when deciding to who to vote for.
He said he believed Gay Mitchell has the right credentials to do an outstanding job for the country.
1400 The debate ends. It will be available to view and listen to in full later this afternoon.
1358 Speaking about the Government's performance, David Norris says that "jerseys have been swapped" but that the same policies are in place.
He says he would stand "shoulder to shoulder" with the people of Ireland.

Mötley Crüe is one of the biggest glam bands ever but they've only released one really good album and that's "Shout At The Devil". Their debut "Too Fast For Love" is gretty good aswell as there's some great pieces here & there on "Theatre Of Pain" & "Girls, Girls, Girls", athough non of them is near as good as this album. I used to listen a lot to glam and sleaze bands like the Crüe, Guns 'n Roses, Poison, you name it but even then I thought this was their best album. So, what am I thinking today, maybe 2-3 years later and almost not into that music at all? Well, it's pretty easy. Mötley average sucks pretty hard except on this album, it's here you can hear what capacity they got of writing great glamish heavy metal.
The album starts off with a legendary but worthless intro before the almighty title track goes off. It's a heavy tune with a famous catchy riff and it's one of their best songs. Track 3 is the defenitely best song by the Crüe, it's "Looks That Kill". It's a classic "Headbanger's Ball" song with a great guitar solo by Mick Mars. The album goes on from here with a short song, one instrumental & a Beatles cover before it's time for their fastest song ever, "Red Hot". It starts off with some nice double bassdrumming by Tommy Lee & goes off into a heavy banger with a great riff. When it's finished it's time for the hit single "Too Young To Fall In Love", an absolutely great song & then it's time for "Knock 'Em Dead, Kid". A more sleazier song with a catchy riff aswell as a catchy corus. The last 2 tracks are great but they're not so special though.
The production is great & much better than their debut album. You hear everything clearly & the drums sounds fantastic, it's a little like Kiss' "Creatures Of The Night". Dark & heavy all the way. The guitars are nice too & especially the great solos by the underrated guitarist Mick Mars.
The cast is great, everyone in the band are doing a great job with Mick & Tommy on the top. The producer whoever it was have done a great job aswell with making this their by far heaviest & greatest album. It's also their only album that doesn't sound weird in anyway because of the production like all the other albums do.
Finally then. The best cuts are "Looks That Kill", "Too Young To Fall In Love", "Knock 'Em Dead, Kid" & the title track although every song is simply great, even the Beatles cover "Helter Skelter".
I would say that Mötley Crüe was born for real in 1983 with this album, after the tour sometime in 1984 they died. This was the real Mötley for me & they havn't lived up to this album since.
R.I.P. Mötley Crüe

BWW Reviews: Player's Theatre Does MACBETH set in WWI
It is hard to identify with a man as deluded as Shakespeare's famous character Macbeth is. Yet through his display of weakness the question that comes to mind can only be: what is our inner nature truly capable of? When you find your values already lost in the moral cesspool, how far will one go to gain power?
Shakespeare's Macbeth is the epic tragedy that chronicles the vicious duo, Macbeth and his wife, as they attempt to deceive and murder their way to the throne of Scotland. The plot follows Macbeth's slow descent into madness as blind ambition and his own hidden frailties war against each other until he is eventually gruesomely destroyed by his own mind.
Directed by Martin Law, McGill's Player's Theatre brings this horrific yet deeply humanistic show to life with a bit of a twist. The play is re-contextualized to be set at the end of World War I in Europe. The uncertainty that pervaded the beginning of the 20th century fits well with the violence, deception, and political insecurity that are all largely present in Macbeth.
Matthew Rian Steen and Annie Mackay as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth had a palpable chemistry that permeated the audience. Rian Steen wavered in energy throughout the show but overall gave an intense performance, particularly in the final scenes, as his disintegration reaches its peak. MacKay gave a standout performance perfectly portraying the conniving and manipulative snake that Lady Macbeth is. MacKay provides a clear window into her character's infected mind which reflects her loss of control.
Of note, Emily Murphy playing Banquo brought an animation to the role that is typically played by a male. Her sensibility in an otherwise mad world was entirely convincing and entertaining. As the ghost of Banquo, her twitchy movements and vocal choices were akin to something out of a horror movie.
The three witches played by Olivia Blocker, Arielle Phaedra Nowak, and Ayla Lefkowitz were successful in creating a spine-chilling and eerie atmosphere that gave the show the mysticism that it needs.
The costumes are nicely put-together using them to indicate the character's status in relation to each other. The lighting was also well executed by David Costello, particularly in creating a terrifying atmosphere when the ghost of Banquo shows up at the banquet.
Overall, Player's Theatre creates a meditative yet horrifying show that is worthy of this well-worn text.
WEST SIDE STORY plays at Moyse Hall Theatre at McGill University from Jan. 24-26 and Jan. 31-Feb. 2 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for students and $20 for adults. For more information, click

The present invention relates generally to devices for making connections between telecommunication equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to coaxial switching jack assemblies for connecting coaxial cables.
In a typical coaxial switching arrangement, a connection panel might be mounted in a studio, with a number of signal generating devices and a number signal processing devices. Coaxial cables might be used to transmit signal from signal generating devices to signal processing devices or between different signal processing devices. Flexibility in configuration of the connections between this equipment is desirable so that different signal generating or processing needs may be accommodated. Many of the devices may have signal in and signal out paths, so that each such device has a pair of coaxial cables extending from it to the connection panel. These pairs of cables are connected to a pair of openings of a switching jack. Multiple devices may be connected to the rear of the switching jacks. When connection is desired between different pieces of equipment connected to the panel, coaxial patch cables inserted in the front of the switching jacks are used. As configurations of equipment change, the connections between equipment may be adapted by rearranging the patch cables without disturbing the connection between the equipment and the panel.
Coaxial switching jacks permit signals carried by coaxial cables between different pieces of broadcast and telecommunications equipment to be configured and directed as needed. Similar switching jacks may be used for digital and analog audio signals, as well as for video signals. It is desirable to have switching jacks which may be used for any of these signals, as well as switching jacks that can selectively loop pairs of signals, connect a third cable to one of the pairs of signals while terminating the other signal, and connect to both signals of the pair to other cables.
According to one aspect of the invention, the present disclosure relates to a coaxial panel with a frame, a mounting frame mounted to the frame, the mounting frame including an exterior surface, the mounting frame including an intermating structure on the exterior surface for slidably coupling a first mounting frame to a second identical mounting frame in a sliding direction, the intermating structure configured such that two coupled mounting frames cannot be pulled apart in a direction generally perpendicular to the sliding direction. A coaxial jack including coaxial cable connection locations is mounted to the mounting frame.
According to another aspect of the invention, the present disclosure relates to a coaxial panel with a frame defining a plurality of openings, a mounting frame mounted to the frame, the mounting frame configured to hold a plurality of coaxial jacks, and a coaxial jack mounted to the mounting frame, the coaxial jack including front and rear coaxial cable connection locations, wherein the coaxial jack and the mounting frame include slidably intermating alignment structures configured to align the front coaxial cable connection locations of the coaxial jack with the plurality of openings in the frame.
According to yet another aspect of the invention, the present disclosure relates to a coaxial panel with a frame defining a plurality of openings, a mounting frame coupled to the frame, and a coaxial jack mounted to the mounting frame, the coaxial jack including front and rear coaxial cable connection locations, wherein the mounting frame and the frame include interlocking snap-fit structures for coupling the mounting frame to the frame and aligning the front coaxial cable connection locations of the coaxial jack with the plurality of openings in the frame.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate several aspects of the present invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. A brief description of the drawings is as follows:
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary aspects of the present invention that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
Top and bottom walls 18, 20 of frame 14 include openings 42 for interlocking mounting frames 12 to frame 14, as will be discussed in further detail below. Top and bottom walls 18, 20 also include opposing side flange portions 44 for guiding in and supporting mounting frames 12 with respect to frame 14.
As shown in
Each mounting frame 12 also includes structure for interlocking mounting frames 12 to frame 14, as discussed previously. As shown in
As shown in
In the depicted embodiment, the deeper elongate slots 76 at bottom wall 48 and the shorter slots 78 at top wall 46 allow a mounting frame 12 to be slidably coupled on top of another mounting frame 12 only in a direction going from the rear end 55 of the bottom mounting frame 12 toward the front end 54 of the bottom mounting frame 12 and be removed in the opposite direction. And, in the depicted embodiment, the mounting frame 12 at the bottom can only be removed from top plate 12 in a direction going from the rear end 55 of the top mounting frame 12 toward the front end 54 of the top plate 12 and be coupled in the opposite direction. Rear ends 80 of the deeper elongate slots 76 act as stops for the bottom mounting frame 12 by abutting against vertical faces 82 of the top ramped tabs 70 when two mounting frames 12 are vertically coupled together. The same directional orientation is followed when vertically coupling together more than two mounting frames 12.
As shown in
Each jack 28 also includes a flexible cantilever arm 100 with a ramped tab 102 on top wall 88 for snap fitting jack 28 to a mounting frame 12. Cantilever arm 100 extends from rectangular guide 84 at top wall 88 of jack 28 toward rear wall 34 of jack 28. Ramped tab 102 of flexible cantilever arm 100 snap fits into openings 104 defined at top wall 46 of mounting frame 12.
Rear wall 34 of jack 28 defines a downwardly extending flange 106. Dovetail guide 84 at bottom wall 90 extends from front wall 86 of jack 28 to downwardly extending flange 106. Flange 106 abuts against bottom wall 48 of mounting frame 12 when jack 28 is slidably inserted within a mounting frame 12. Extending farther down from flange 106 is a grip tab 108. Grip tab 108 is formed as a part of the rear wall 34 of jack 28. Grip tab 108 is preferably positioned on jack 28 opposite cantilever arm 100 so that a user may apply opposing forces on cantilever arm 100 and grip 108 tab to securely grasp jack 28 and slidably move it relative to mounting frame 12.
In mounting jacks 28 into mounting frames 12, jacks 28 can be slid forwardly with guides 84 fitting within slots 92, 96. Jacks 28 are slid forwardly until cantilever arms 100 flex down and allow ramped tabs 102 to pass under the top wall 46 of mounting frames 12 and into openings 104. When jacks 28 are desired to be removed from mounting frames 12, opposing forces can be applied to cantilever arms 100 and grip tabs 108 to press down cantilever arms 100. As cantilever arms 100 flex down, ramped tabs 102 clear the top openings 104 of mounting frames 12 and jacks 28 are slid rearwardly.
It should be noted that the depicted alignment structures and interlocking structures between jacks 28 and mounting frames 12, between two mounting frames 12, and between mounting frames 12 and frame 14 are non-limiting examples, other configurations also being possible. For example, in other embodiments, slots 92, 96 located at interior surfaces 94, 98 of top and bottom walls 46, 48 of mounting frames 12 and longitudinal guides 84 of jacks 28 may be interchanged.
Referring now to
Jack 28 defines a pair of rear cable connection locations 36 and a pair of front cable connection locations 30. Rear cable connection locations 36 are configured as a pair of rear openings 40 defined in rear wall 34 of housing 116. Front cable connection locations 30 are configured as a pair of front openings 32 in front wall 86 of housing 116. As discussed above, longitudinal guides 84 are located at the top and bottom walls 88, 90 of housing 116 with flexible cantilever arm 100 being located on the top wall 88.
Housing 116 and cover 118 cooperate to define an interior 124. Interior 124 of housing 116 is configured to receive the various components of jack 28. Access into interior 124 may be through rear openings 40 or through front openings 32. The components mounted within interior 124 may be inserted through a side opening 126 in housing 116 which is closed off by cover 118. Cover 118 includes fastener holes 128 for fastening cover 118 to housing 116 with fasteners 130. Cover 118 also includes an opening 132 for accommodating a resistor assembly 134, as will be discussed in further detail below. Cover 118 includes indicia 136 on outer surface 138 for indicating the position of the resistor 140 within housing 116.
At rear wall 34 of housing 116 is included a slot 142 for receiving a designation label panel 144. Designation label panel 144 is slidably inserted within slot 142 and held therein with a friction fit. Slot 142 includes an upper notch 146 to facilitate removal of designation label panel 144 from rear wall 34 of housing 116.

As shown in
Bottom portion 206 of resistor housing 204 includes a first set of recesses 216 and a second set of recesses 215. The recesses 215, 216 are located at generally ninety degree intervals around the perimeter of bottom portion 206 of housing 204. Recesses 216 are defined as a part of flexible legs 208. Recesses 215 include portions that are both a part of flexible legs 208 and portions that are defined between flexible legs 208. Recesses 215 and 216 are configured to accommodate the curvature of the shield conductor contact springs 150 (see
As shown in
When a cable connector 38 is inserted within front opening 32, outer conductor 218 of connector 38 closes opening 192 on perimeter 194 of outer shield conductor 156 of coaxial assembly 152. In this manner, outer shield conductors 218, 156 of connector 38 and the corresponding coaxial assembly 152 cooperatively form a generally cylindrical conductive passage 228 about center conductor 220, 154 of connector 38 and the corresponding coaxial assembly 152. Cylindrical passage 228 extends from front openings 32 to rear openings 40.
Thus, when one connector 38 is inserted within one coaxial assembly 152 through one of the openings 32, as shown in
In other instances, it may be desirable to electrically isolate center conductor 154 from outer shield conductor 156 of the unconnected coaxial assembly 152. In these instances, resistor assembly 134 can be turned or rotated to the "OFF" or "non-terminated" position 168 as shown in
When a second cable connector 38 is inserted into the other front opening 32 as shown in
Coaxial jack 300 of
It should be noted that, although the housing 116 of the switching type coaxial jack 28 has been described as including a non-conductive body 120, certain portions of the housing 116 can include conductive materials. For example, in certain embodiments, parts of housing 116 may include conductive materials for tuning purposes. By providing a certain amount of conductive material within interior 124 of housing 116 or around the exterior of housing 116, the impedance level between center conductor 154 and outer shield conductor 156 can be adjusted and tuned to a desired value.
In other embodiments, certain portions of the housing, whether the jack is a switching jack 28 or a straight-through jack 300, may include conductive material for shielding purposes to prevent crosstalk between adjacent jacks. For example, in certain embodiments, the shielding conductive portions can be included on the cover and/or on opposite sidewall of a jack. In other embodiments, the shielding portions can be included on other parts of the housing.
The above specification, examples and data provide a complete description of the manufacture and use of the invention. Since many embodiments of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention resides in the claims hereinafter appended.

RIVERHEAD, N.Y., March 22 (UPI) -- Authorities seized more than 350 handguns and rifles from a Centereach, N.Y., man's illegal home gunsmithing business.
"We see weapons all over the place," Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said at a news conference Thursday, addressing the arrest of Jay Steiner, 66. "More than 85 illegal handguns and 250 rifles, shotguns and what you will see is a machine gun.
"This fellow had more firepower than the detectives, when they went to search the house."
Steiner allegedly ran the business with 300 feet of Centereach High School, CBS News noted.
He was arrested in January on criminal weapons possessions charges and prosecutors announced the case Thursday after crime lab investigators completed testing on the illegal weapons found in the house, the Long Island Press reported Friday.
"Most of the guns recovered from this defendant's home were not under lock and key," Spota said. "We found them scattered among various rooms in the house and in an unlocked attic."
He added investigators found two devices called "drop-in auto sears," small pieces of metal used to convert AR-15 assault rifles into fully automatic machine guns.

If you can't wait for Studio Ghibli and Level-5's Ni No Kuni to launch and you really, really, really want to get in on the action and see what the game is like for yourself, you can spoil the whole thing by watching the very first 30 minutes of gameplay courtesy of a new video that has been making the rounds.
Dealspwn managed to get their hands on the footage of the game, which isn't set for release until January 22nd, this upcoming Tuesday. But look, I don't need to waste a lot of time talking about stuff when you obviously came here to see the game in action. With animations handled by the same studio who put out great, epic films such as Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, lo and behold, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch.
The game has already garnered very positive review scores, and it's unsurprising that gamers are already taking to Namco Bandai's PS3 exclusive given its fresh take on the JRPG genre and offers a nice alternative to all the samey-shooters that have been over-saturating the market as of late.
I doubt this game will move Call of Duty, Halo or Assassin's Creed numbers, but I suspect that we could be looking at another sleeper hit from Namco, which the company has been delivering in spades throughout this generation, including Dragon Ball Z titles, Naruto, One Piece and, of course, Dark Souls.
You can look for Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch to launch in North America in just a few day's time at your local retailer, exclusively for the PlayStation 3. You can grab a free demo of the game right now from the PlayStation Store.

No revenge for AVB as Magic Mata inspires Chelsea to 4-2 win at The Lane
Tottenham Hotspur 2 – Chelsea 4 (Premier League, October 20, 2012) (Alternative highlights & MOTD highlights.) Gary Cahill gave Chelsea the lead with a golazo volley. William Gallas drew the sides level with his first ever goal for Spurs. Jermain Defoe gave Spurs the lead with a trademark poacher's finish. Juan Mata drew Chelsea level with a pinpoint left-footed finish. Mata made it 3-2 with a great give-and-go move between Mikel and Oscar. Mata claimed his fifth assist of the season for the fourth goal, teeing up Daniel Sturridge for a tap-in.
Roberto Di Matteo praises team's focus.
Juan Mata and Eden Hazard the difference – Andre Villas-Boas.

For the quilts I've made so far, I've either bought wide backing (108" ), or used one of the fabrics that is in the quilt and just sewn it together to make a piece big enough for the backing.
Having just rapidly grown my stash to sizeable proportions, most of the material that I have now is around 2 yards in size -- that's not going to be enough to make a backing from a single material, as I generally make larger quilts. And I don't want to spend money trying to find an extra large backing that will go with the rest of the quilt. So it sounds like I will need to start piecing backings.
For those of you that piece backings, what do you normally do? It seems like it should be a much simpler pattern than the front, yes? Do you try to match the front of quilt in any way? How intricate do you get with the back?
And for those of you using longarms that have dealt with this, is it difficult to make it so that the backing pattern isn't lopsided or off-kilter (on the frame), either vertically or horizontally? Any tips?

recovering deleted win 7
Hi All,
I hope I'm in the correct area, but here go's. a friend deleted windows. I'm using a dock so I can still see it on the drive it just won't boot. I would like to restore it so it will boot normally. How can I do that using the dock? I lent her a hdd to use temporary on her computer so I can work and learn with her hdd. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How was Windows "deleted"? We need to know what your "friend" did in order to figure out what needs to be done to get it back.
When you use the dock, what it is you see on the drive? Is the boot partition still intact? Is the OS partition still intact?
Do you have a Recovery partition still intact on the PC?
If you have no Recovery partition, do you have Win7 install media (a DVD)?

There is no simple way to delete all of "Windows" -- since it's a large collection of files spread across lots of directories. But, if she deleted the Windows folder, that would certainly stop it from working.
Since you have a Windows ISO, I would use that to burn a Windows DVD on another PC. You can then do a Repair Install from the DVD -- but you will need the product key to activate it.
Have you tried booting into safe mode to attempt to do a startup repair?

HI all, even tho I didn't receive a lot of response I figured it out by myself. I used a win 7 repair disc in a computer other than the original computer and booted with the disc. The darn thing didn't tell me but it repaired itself. I rebooted, it works and I'm happy. I was able to then run Magical jelly bean to retrieve the key. I do thank those that did respond.

Clint Eastwood's 'Invisible Obama' RNC remarks draw ridicule
The surprise guest was indeed a surprise.
On the night Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney had the chance to present a prime-time case for election, the first thing network television viewers saw as the stations tuned-in to the ongoing national convention at 10 p.m. was actor Clint Eastwood on stage engaged in a lengthy, rambling imaginary conversation with a foul-mouthed empty chair standing in for President Barack Obama.
"What do you want me to tell Romney?" the 82-year-old actor asked at one point.
"I can't tell him to do that," he continued, apparently in reference to a physically impossible sexual act, eliciting ripples of laughter from the delegates. "I can't tell him to do that to himself."
The opening skit was a departure from the usual tone of political conventions, which for decades now have been largely scripted events. It was immediately mocked on Twitter, with an @InvisibleChair account created within minutes and Mike Murphy, a Republican political consultant who is now a television writer in Hollywood, posting the message: "Note to file: Actors need a script."
"A great night for Mitt Romney just got sidetracked by Clint Eastwood," said former Republican Representative Joe Scarborough in a Twitter message. "Wow. That was bad."
The actor, whose role at the convention was kept secret until a few hours ahead of his appearance on the Tampa Bay Times Forum stage, mocked Obama on topics ranging from unemployment to Guantanamo and the war in Afghanistan. He ended by leading the delegates in a rendition of his most famous "Dirty Harry" movie quote: "Make my day."
He included a swipe at lawyers, forgetting that Romney is a Harvard Law School graduate. "Always weighing everything," he said. "They are always Devil's advocating this and bifurcating this and bifurcating that."
Delegates were spellbound by the comedy routine. When he declared, "We own this county," delegates gave him a standing ovation. When he said if a politician didn't get the job done voters should let him go, delegates chanted, "Let him go."

I went looking for a Fobus paddle for the 38 and the only one they make also fits the 37 and 21, the GL3. When I tried it the muzzle of the 38 was almost an inch up inside the holster. That's a no go for me, I don't need the empty holster sticking out under my shirt. I tried the GL4 which is supposed to fit the 39 and is shorter than the GL3...figured the 39 is a shorter 38, right? Wrong... the 38 was really loose inside that holster. It looks like the only thing out there for a paddle holster for the 38 is the Blackhawk Sherpa. I like the Fobus because I don't have to mess with buttons, straps or thumb snaps to draw the pistol. I didn't buy the Sherpa because I wasn't sure about the trigger finger release button deal and wasn't sure how the bolt on paddle would work out. What's been the experience with the Sherpa holsters? Are there any other paddle holsters out there?
