Cost-effective ac drives have smaller footprint
Product Exclusive: Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 750 series ac drives from Rockwell Automation offer new solution for applications 0.75 kW to 7.5 kW/1.0 hp to 10 hp at 400 V/480 V.
The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 750 series ac drive family from Rockwell Automation now offers new options designed for low-power applications requiring full-featured ac drives with an optimized size. The cost-effective PowerFlex 753 and 755 ac drives, with a power range of 0.75 kW to 7.5 kW / 1 hp to 10 hp (400 V / 480 V), offer the smallest footprint within the well-established PowerFlex 750 series. Although small in size, these new drives retain the valuable features that have made the PowerFlex750 series popular, including predictive diagnostics, safety options, simplified integration, and a flexible slot-based architecture.
"These new drives are ideal for applications where space is at a premium—for example, machines requiring multiple drives in a cabinet," said John Cherney, global product manager, Rockwell Automation. "They're about 20% smaller than other drives in the PowerFlex 750 series, yet they provide the same control features and options currently available in the larger PowerFlex 753 and 755 drives."
Like other PowerFlex 753 drives, the new smaller version provides machine builders and manufacturers with the versatile motor control they need for general-purpose applications. Designed to meet global user needs, the drive supports multiple languages and complies with global standards and certifications. The PowerFlex 753 drive is suited for many industries and applications, including fans, pumps, and conveyors.
PowerFlex 755 drives, including the new offering, provide the added benefits of both induction and permanent magnet motor support as well as an embedded Ethernet port that allows users to easily configure, control, and collect drive data over EtherNet/IP networks. In addition, native instructions within Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000 software provide simplified drive integration with the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system. The recently introduced RSLogix 5000 v20 provides an Automatic Device Configuration feature designed to help customers increase productivity through reduced downtime. With this feature, the Logix controller can automatically detect a replaced PowerFlex 755 drive and download configuration parameters without the need for manual reconfiguration.
The complete line of PowerFlex 755 drives extends up to 1500 kW / 2000 hp, and is well suited for a wide variety of applications ranging from simple variable speed and variable torque control to the most demanding systems requiring constant torque control. Target applications include: fans, pumps, mixers, compressors, conveyors, and extruders.
Both of the new PowerFlex 750 series drives feature a slot-based mechanical architecture that allows customers to tailor the drive with as few or as many options as their application requires. Each drive has three option slots to accommodate modules for I/O, feedback, safety, additional communications, and an auxiliary power supply. Options are common for the PowerFlex 753 and 755 drives, minimizing inventory and spare-part requirements.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Justin Rose has made a shock withdrawal from the Honda Classic taking place in Florida this week.
The world number six has pulled out of the Palm Beach event due to a shoulder injury which he originally hurt tossing a ball to his caddy at The Barclays back in August – He's still expected to play a part in the WGC Cadillac Championship next week.
While Justin Rose won't be at PGA National, web.com regular Jason Allred will be, despite his wife just giving birth. A T3 finish at the Northern Trust Open gave him exemption for the Honda but his third child's imminent arrival put his participation in doubt - however we're happy to report that mother and new-born daughter are doing well after a Monday morning delivery and Allred arrived in Florida on Tuesday just in time to play a few practice holes.
The LPGA's finest are in the Singapore for the HSBC Champions and Suzann Pettersen has been throwing herself into local tradition and tweeted this photograph of herself, Inbee Park, ShanShan Feng and Paula Creamer. Pettersen has the chance to replace Park at the top of the rankings if she wins this weekend and the South Korean does not finish better than tied for third.
And finally, yesterday we reported on Paul Lawrie missing the Trophee Hassan II because he was going to watch his beloved Aberdeen instead. The Scot was watching them again last night and after their win he celebrated with a cold one in this rather exclusive cup!
That's all for today, join us tomorrow as we bring you more news ahead of first day of The Honda Classic. As ever keep in touch using the #GWTV on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Detailed Description:
Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic, persistent and common medical problem. The standard of care for GERD includes chronic administration of acid-suppressive drugs. However, clinical failure in GERD is increasingly reported.
Aim: To determine the efficacy of treatment with melatonin as compared to standard dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI) as compared to placebo in patients with GERD.
Study objectives: [1] To compare the degree of GERD symptoms improvement and esophageal acid sensitivity before and after treatment. [2] To determine the effect of treatment on the % total, upright and supine time pH <4 using 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring. [3] To determine the effect of treatment on frequency and duration of lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. [4] To compare the quality of life and quality of sleep in GERD patients before and after treatment.
Methods: This is a randomized, double blind, parallel groups study of 150 patients with GERD. Patients with classic heartburn symptoms (heartburn and/or regurgitation) and normal upper endoscopy from the gastroenterology department at Rabin Medical Center will be enrolled into the study. At baseline, all enrolled patients will have 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring and a modified acid perfusion test to assess the extent of distal esophageal acid exposure and esophageal acid sensitivity, respectively. Patients will be evaluated by a demographics questionnaire, the GERD Symptom Questionnaire, the Quality of Sleep questionnaire and the SF-36. Baseline urinary excretion of the main melatonin metabolite, 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (6SMT) will be assessed in all subjects at baseline. Patients will be randomized to either melatonin or standard dose PPI or placebo over a period of 4 weeks. In addition patients will fill a diary on a daily basis that documents severity and frequency of GERD-related symptoms. Symptom score (frequency x severity) will be calculated for previous 7 days at baseline and at the end of treatment in all groups. After 4 weeks of treatment, patients will undergo a second 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring, a modified acid perfusion test and will complete the GERD Symptom Questionnaire, the Quality of Sleep Questionnaire and the SF-36.
Implications: This study will determine if melatonin decreases GERD symptoms, acid esophageal exposure and improves quality of life and sleep in patients with GERD. Furthermore, if there will be a significant clinical response to melatonin it will be possible to add this compound to the treatment armamentum of GERD.

DALLAS So, the Edmonton Oilers are guaranteed 30th, eh?
The first or second pick in the draft is in their back pocket.
Problem solved. Playoffs, here they come.
Guess again.
Finishing last is easy. Winning is hard.
And from what weve seen over the last four years, it comes at a higher price than the players here are willing to pay.
When asked about the most important needs that must be addressed in Edmontons rebuild, Pat Quinn narrowed it down to three simple areas:
One is our skill level, said the coach. Two, our intangible side, the side that gets you to compete every night. And we have to get some size in our game.
So, all they need are skill, size and intangibles.
Uh, thats pretty much everything, isnt it?
Quinn just listed off everything that makes a good team good, and the Oilers have none of it.
Or, very little of it.
The skill could be on its way with some exciting prospects on the horizon, but people are sadly mistaken if they think a cavalry of teenagers can turn this thing around on a dime. Tyler Seguin, Jordan Eberle and Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson might bring a desperately-needed infusion of talent if they play here next year, but what will they be walking into?
This team is a minefield of bad habits and bad examples. It is soft enough to get run out of the rink, but fills the penalty box every night with lazy undisciplined obstruction and slashing minors. Nobody gets close enough to the net to bear down around it and with zero regulation wins in their last 20 road games, its fair to question their character.
Youve got big guys playing small, small guys thinking theyre too good for team defence and nobody willing or able to bring his A game for more than a week at a time.
And most of them are coming back.
As much as fans might love to see it, GM Steve Tambellini cant punt 14 players and start from scratch; he has no choice but to bring back a room full of those intangible-lacking 30th placers.
So until they change the way the returning players think and play, all those draft picks and prospects wont mean anything. Think its a coincidence theyre keeping Eberle away from this group?
Thats the competitive part that youd like to see every night, said Quinn. Thats what our team has to learn. Its nice to have the skating, the stickhandling, the shooting, those are all tools, but its how you use those tools. The mental side is way more important.
And so is heart.
We get pushed out of games, said Quinn. Every team looks at us and says we can pound these guys.
Hed like to see Edmonton be more like Detroit, where everyone is always pulling the same rope together hard.
They are a picture of dedication to work ethic, said Quinn. Theyve got really good professionals in there who have pushed themselves to high standards in how they work every night. Theyre a team that you can try to emulate in a lot of ways.
Changing the culture here wont be easy. Craig McTavish tried and couldnt. Quinn is trying and isnt having much luck. And whether its because of how the leaders are leading or how the followers are following, change hasnt come from inside the room, either.
But with the next generation of Oilers ready to move in, the focus now and over the summer must be ensuring that whoever joins the team is walking into a healthy situation.
Because there are major problems here that wont go away when some kids show up.
As one Detroit player put it when the woeful Oilers came up in the conversation Tuesday: They need a changing of the guard, what theyve got just isnt working.

- Michael VelliquetteArtist Michael Velliquette has the ability to transform ordinary paper into finely detailed, sculptural masterpieces. His pieces burst with color and form, evoking tribal patterns, sea creatures, masks, feathers, and totems, rife with fine paper cuts and texture. His latest exhibition, "One From Many From One," at Wisconsin's Caestecker Art Gallery runs until April 20th.1
- Michael VelliquetteUnlike other artists who work with paper, Velliquette's cuts and curves are more spontaneous, allowing the placement of each piece to dictate his next move.2
- Michael VelliquetteOne would hardly guess the method to this madness is not carefully calculated, as each finished pieces seems almost perfectly placed, but Velliquette prefers each color and shape to inspire the next.3
- Michael VelliquetteFine snips create furry, feather-like elements that the artist uses as ornamental details, and longer pieces to sprout out like whiskers from his mask like sculptures. Short fringe is used to create husky texture, reminiscent of bark or rough fur.4
- Michael VelliquetteUsing archival card stock in a rainbow of colors, Velliquette relies only on his meticulous cuts to transform the flat sheets of paper into textural components for his sculptures.5
- Michael VelliquetteVelliquette also suggests volume, simply by curling contrasting colors of paper and arranging them in a line, which the viewer's eyes seamlessly blend together, even though the actual mass is lacking.6
- Michael VelliquetteBending, folding and rolling create visual trompe l'oiels that make each fleck of paper seem to be more than the delicate medium it is. Velliquette's fine tuned techniques transform normal paper into iconic deities and statuettes that appear rich and weighty.7

The Front Panel
The NZXT Phantom 410 has a door, which opens to the left, covering its 5.25" bays. Based upon how they are implemented, doors can be an Achilles Heel for the case. For example, some products have the USB ports and on/off switch behind the door, so you must open the door every time you want to connect a USB device or turn on your computer. In such cases, we prefer that the case simply didn't have the door. On the NZXT Phantom 410, however, all buttons and connectors are not located behind the door, so what we've just described doesn't occur.
The case has three 5.25" bays. See Figure 5.
The reviewed case comes with one 120 mm fan installed at the bottom part of the front panel. This fan comes installed on the single-channel, three-speed fan controller available. No technical specifications are provided. You can install a second 120 mm fan or replace the 120 mm fan that comes with the case with a 140 mm model. There is no air filter on the front panel for these fans.

Qostanay, Russian Kostanay, also spelled Kustanay, or Kustanai, city, northern Kazakhstan, on the Tobyl River. Founded by Russian settlers from the Volga region in 1879, it became a centre of trade in the steppe, particularly in grain, a role that was enhanced by the construction of a branch railway in 1913. Qostanay was made an administrative centre in 1933 under the Soviets, but its greatest expansion dates from the mid-1950s and the Virgin and Idle Lands Campaign, which extended agriculture and hastened the exploitation of mineral wealth, and the construction of rail lines in the region. The city's most economically important industries are food processing and other light enterprises; there are also vehicle and agricultural-equipment repair shops, and spare parts are produced for excavators and mining equipment. Qostanay has a teacher-training institute. Pop. (2006 est.) 207,802.

FMS jazz bands in concert
The Fairfield Middle School jazz bands will present a concert at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the FMS cafetorium.
This date has been changed from the original schedule to alleviate conflicts with other school activities.
This is the one jazz band concert for this semester and will feature the sixth-grade jazz band, and the combined seventh- and eighth-grade jazz band.
The sixth-grade jazz band will be performing various swing-style pieces from the students' jazz curriculum book, "Essential Elements of Jazz Ensemble" by Mike Steinel; as well as "Tyrannosaurus Charlie" by Dean Sorenson, a fun rock tune.
Both styles will feature students on written and improvised jazz solos, including solos by Garrett Ward, trumpet and Austin Kruse, tuba.
The seventh- and eighth-grade jazz band will perform pieces in Latin, rock, shuffle and swing style. The students will play: "All Right, OK, You Win," a jazz standard by Sid Wyche and Mayme Watts, with solos by Gannon Courtright on alto sax, James Bechtel on trumpet and the trombone section; "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," a gospel rock tune by Josef Zawinul; "Salsa Caliente," a Latin piece by Mike Steinel, with solos by Phoenix Haessler on trumpet and Brayden Fishel and Kolten Webber on drums; and "Ain't Got No Place To Go (But In a Hurry to Get There)," an original jazz piece in swing style by Andy Clark, which will feature solos by Baily Kemp on tenor sax and Finnegan Malloy on alto sax.
The concert will feature refreshments and a casual "jazz club"-style atmosphere.
Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for students. All activity passes will be honored.

MODERN Family star Ty Burrell is known for his comedic chops, but he also has a refined palate.
In what may be a first for an American, Burrell came away from Australia loving Vegemite.
While Ed O'Neill, Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen and the rest of the Modern Family cast were not fans of Australia's favourite breakfast spread during their recent visit Down Under to shoot an episode of the hit sitcom, Burrell stashed a few jars in his luggage before flying back to the US.
"I love Vegemite," says Burrell, who plays bumbling dad Phil Dunphy.
"I was the only person on our cast and crew who liked it.
"I ate a lot of it.
"I came home with a couple of jars."
Burrell is known as one of Hollywood's nicest guys and has become one of the industry's busiest, cramming big-screen roles around his Modern Family schedule.
The 46-year-old voices talking dog Mr Peabody in coming animated film Mr Peabody & Sherman, and will play Bailey the Beluga in 2016's long-awaited Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory.
Fresh off the flight from Sydney, Burrell is in Beverly Hills to promote another big-screen project, Muppets Most Wanted, in which he plays French Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon, who tracks a Russian thief and Kermit lookalike named Constantine, and a burglar, portrayed by Ricky Gervais.
"It is weird," Burrell says of what it's like acting with puppets.
"The first day was alarming.
"The veil is lifted.
"It's like The Wizard of Oz because you see the person actually working on the muppet.
"Then you get used to them being your scene partner.
"You end up hanging out with the muppet just as much as what you do with the puppeteer."
Muppets Most Wanted was shot in England, but Burrell hopes future muppet movies and Modern Family episodes are shot in Australia.
Burrell says he will pitch any of his future work to be set in Australia.
"Why not have a CSI: Australia?" he says.
"We had so much fun down there.
"We didn't have any days off, but we'd finish filming at sunset so we got to try a bunch of restaurants and we filmed in locations that were not exactly a coalmine.
"We filmed on Bondi Beach and up at the Great Barrier Reef.
"I got to go scuba diving, which I had never done before.
"I was a little bit panicked, but I got over it.
"It was at Hayman Island and it was spectacular."
Muppets Most Wanted opens in Australia on April 10.

The 4th quarter of 2005 was a busy time for Pioneer Telephone's President, Peter Bouchard. In October, Pioneer acquired the long distance customer base from Adelphia's long distance division. Adelphia filed for bankruptcy in 2004 and its customers from various divisions needed new service providers which were awarded to various companies.
Pioneer has been known for it's responsive customer support and efficiencies, but even good planning can be overwhelmed when having to add over 140,000 customers in a matter of days. During the growing pains, Pioneer Telephone's management worked to correct the delays and billing issues from the newly acquired Adelphia customers as quickly as possible. After expanding its workforce, Pioneer once again has resumed normal customer support operations with wait times usually less than 30 seconds to speak with a live representative.

Usually when we hear patent-related news, it involves lawsuits in which one company is trying to score a sales ban on another firm's products. Things are a bit different today, though, because Samsung and Google have announced that they've come together to strike a broad patent licensing agreement.
The new deal is a global patent cross-licensing agreement between Google and Samsung that covers a "broad range of technologies and business areas." Included in the deal are patents that are currently held by both companies as well as any patents filed in the next 10 years, and Samsung says that the deal will help lead to a deeper collaboration between the two companies on the development of both current and future products.
"We're pleased to enter into a cross-license with our partner Samsung. By working together on agreements like this, companies can reduce the potential for litigation and focus instead on innovation," said Google Deputy General Counsel Allen Lo. Dr. Seungho Ahn, head of Samsung's Intellectual Property Center, echoed Google's sentiment, describing the deal as "highly significant" and saying that the agreement between the two companies shows that "there is more to gain from cooperating than engaging in unnecessary patent disputes."
As I mentioned before, typically when the topic of patents comes up in the mobile world, it involves two firms exchanging legal blows. That's why it's nice to see Google and Samsung coming together and striking a global patent cross-licensing agreement, especially since the deal covers any patents filed by both companies over the next 10 years. While we're sure to see more lawsuits filed in the mobile space in the future, at least we know that there won't be any battles between Google and Samsung cropping up.

Whitmarsh: McLaren failings not due to Hamilton exit
13 June 2013 – McLaren Team Principal Martin Whitmarsh has rubbished suggestions the Woking-based squad's troubles this season are connected to the loss of 2008 F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton.
Speaking to British tabloid newspaper, The Mirror, Whitmarsh said that any talk of a 'Hamilton hangover' is wide of the mark and he added that he has complete faith in Jenson Button and Sergio Pérez, both of whom are doing a 'good job'.
"I don't think so," Whitmarsh replied, when questioned on if there is a connection between Hamilton's exit and McLaren's dire form thus far in 2013. "Lewis is a great driver and a good asset and we have not got him.
"[But] both our drivers are doing a good job. We did not get it right in Canada and when I look at it now, I can be very self-critical of what we should have done.
"I have been through times like this before though and you have to keep everyone motivated and believing hard that we can win a race, so we have not given up yet. We hope to be better for [the British Grand Prix at] Silverstone because we want to do it for the fans."

Id had years of resisting MTV, had seen a sufficient number of kooky rock kids hanging upside down like monkeys from a tree, or romping on the beach, all four klowning in the front seat of another old Buick, or yet another ingénues glossy full lips atremble as she gazes out her lonely window at her guy with another gurrrl, blah blah. Made me wanna barf its always someone elses stupid fantasy to accompany the pop bilge, not yours, not mine, not the one the music ought to be conjuring inside your very own head. Ive noticed, though, a recent tendency in myself to absorb and accept the music more readily if Im watching rad things onscreen while the music plays, particularly when Im alone, just me and my laptop and headphones. I think were now in a time when music is often more evocative because its accompanied by visual images; the new century will be the age of digital operas. New audiovisual technology, too, means that sound + music can be idealized for the laptop highly compressed sound tactility, images that you want to touch and which you can because the screens two feet away. So, theres a feeling of far more personal connection with the music and the imagery intimacy, you might call it, no doubt aided by the computers disc drive broiling your loins. Some of which is yours to experience with a few recent DVD releases:
Cornelius: Five Point One (Matador). The blurring cityscapes exhilarate as Japanese electronic pop-collagist Cornelius blasts and chitters and peck a pecks over and around Smokes black & white geometrics, in abstraction and the requisite undulating concentric circles, now updated with glitchy digital noise. While most tracks trip with the latest video-sound syncing software, hell do Drop with a cute lil kid experiencing water in the bathroom washing his face, plopping coins into a full sink, a segment that justifies its length with slo-mo aquatic art, the visual equivalent of musics time-stretching capability. Another View Point deals with biology, thermostats, the human organism and microscopes as sumptuous textures flee from old analog film stock back into frangible digital perfection. In Fly the camera is you, a fly on our food, in hospitals, in restaurants, seeing things from a flys POV see trained pet flies flying through a long series of donut holes . . . Why? Because now they can.

Black Heart Procession: The Tropics of Love (Touch and Go). But a director might go about the sound + image challenge by creating a visual-narrative interpretation of a set of pre-existing songs, which is what BHP did in this neat-neat-neat and (sorry) Lynchian little noir that asks the musical question Did he or didnt he? Shot on location in and around the San Diego bands home turf, the film stars members of the band and a bunch of their friends, and its not something you want to criticize for the caliber of the acting, though everyone is very effective, especially the bands Roman Dmitri Dziensuwski as Luigi the hapless suspect and co-director/cameraman Matthew Hoyt as the Inspector. Grainy, good god, and like a silent film set to music, in this case BHPs downbeat avant-honky tonk vibe. Zero-zero-budget, were talking, like $100, and thats inspiring, cause the ambiguous story is genuinely involving and the films satisfyingly bummer ambience stays with you for weeks.
Opeth: Lamentations (Koch). The power of the image is such that, though I had assumed the Swedish/Uruguayan black metal band was pure corndog codswallop, I still found myself glued to this disc, a not-for-geeks-only set of enlightening interviews with the bands members and a full-length video of their performance at Shepards Bush in 03. The subject that gets enlightening is metal itself, and how a band that calls itself black metal has evolved (some might say devolved) full circle into an ever-so-harder version of uncool 70s prog bands like Camel, Nektar and King Crimson, and how our biases built on shopworn ideas about genre can break down when a band offers its pudding for proof. Witnessing Opeths intense athleticism on long patches of their last two records, Deliverance and Damnation epic, chilling, ferocious, sure, but much of it flat-out ravishing (black metal on acoustic guitars?) means getting your mind changed about things. And if not, then be damned the lot of ya.
Super Furry Animals: Phantom Power (XL). A super value for the entire family, considering its 14 tracks and remixes of such, chockablock with visual and aural stupefactions at every mouse click. Following up the stunning DVD for the Welsh bands Rings Around the World album, Phantom Power is another fully loaded cornucopia that greets you with a song/video selection set in a dusty, creaky and rather sinister funhouse, all shadows and dim light and red velvets and groaning mechanical devices as an evil clock tocks and chimes. A lyrics option is provided (English/Welsh/Japanese), plus remixes by the likes of Fourtet, Sean OHagen of the High Llamas, and Llwybr Llaethog . . . Llwybr Llaethog? On the phones the groups divided attentions between tasty electronic/dance and the pop-band worlds sound headspinningly incredible, wow. Meanwhile much of the video work comprises digital abstraction, your amoebalike colored fingerprints being a favored theme, which in this case works well because its complementary and not over-interpretive of the bands multihued music. Elsewhere, these are some of the best Flashwave animation interludes ever, that art form whose resounding force resides in its super-minimal number of frames less can be much, much more, and its most wicked here since SFAs sound is for the most part super-maximalist. Note that the Super Furry Animals rock very, very hard on a song called Golden Retriever, a tribute to that brave and hardy beast and all of its noble characteristics. The video features our furry friends silhouette striding stoutheartedly forward; its not a metaphor its about golden retrievers. (Super Furry Animals appear at Henry Fonda Theater on Saturday, February 28.)
Bill Morrison/Michael Gordon: Decasia: A State of Decay (Plexifilm). Avant-garde filmmaker Bill Morrison created this film by editing found archival footage whose emulsion had deteriorated over the years; he loops and overlaps it, and the visual crud interacts with itself. But the found images are often still recognizable, so the result veers from the purely abstract to a barrage of new combined realities. Significantly, hes edited his images to the score (and not vice versa, which is normally the case); the accompanying soundtrack is by Michael Gordon, whose propulsive 55-piece ensemble of detuned strings and prepared pianos is a perfect analogous fit for Morrisons imagery of birth scenes, walks among the ruins, earthmovers, ocean liners, ancient nuns, seemingly doomed children on the school bus. The combined effect of sound + image in Decasia feels like a privilege, a visit to another creepy world, where you see again the potentialities and dangers of your own world way back home.

Mario Svirsky and his Indiana University School of Medicine colleagues tested whether a training regimen that gradually introduced subjects to the frequency shift could improve their ability to comprehend speech. The experiment was done with an "acoustic simulation" of a cochlear implant, which allows listeners who have normal hearing to hear sounds that are degraded and frequency-shifted in a way similar to that found in cochlear implants. They found that subjects introduced to the frequency shift in a gradual way adapted sooner than those who were introduced to the full frequency shift from the beginning. Brain scans performed by Thomas Talavage at Purdue University showed systematic changes in cortical responses in one of the subjects, who was tested before and after several hours of exposure to the degraded speech.
Svirsky and Talavage concluded that human listeners can learn to understand an extremely impoverished and frequency-shifted acoustic signal, and this learning process can be facilitated by gradual exposure. These findings will be presented at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Tottenham may struggle to fend off three clubs as interest grows in £19.7m star
TOTTENHAM'S hopes of signing Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi this summer have taken a dent as reports claim three Italian clubs are interested in the striker.
Spurs are said to be keen on signing Domenico Berardi
Spurs are thought to have earmarked Italian Berardi as a target for the end of the season.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has sought a strike partner for Harry Kane for some time.
Clinton N'Jie and Heung Min Son have so far struggled to acclimatise to Premier League football.
And with Pochettino set to be granted a hefty transfer fund this summer, it was claimed he would go in for Italy's rising star.
He would reportedly cost Spurs £19.7million - a snip for a club on the verge of securing Champions League football.
But Italian newspaper Tuttosport claim there are plans to keep the 21-year-old in the country, with Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan all eyeing the star.
Juve's interest in the Berardi has been apparent for some time and they are reportedly preparing contingency plans if Real Madrid trigger a buy-back clause in Alvaro Morata's contract this summer.
It is understood the Turin club have a 'gentleman's agreement' for first refusal on Berardi.
Milan have emerged as suitors as they appear ready to hire Sassuolo head coach Eusebio Di Francesco, who would then go in for Berardi.
And Inter, pushing for the Champions League this summer, are already drawing up various targets ahead of could be a busy transfer period.

MANAMA: Gulf Finance House (GFH) intends to establish a joint Islamic financial services venture in the Middle East with Australian-based Macquarie Group.
Macquarie will invest approximately $100 million in a convertible murabaha investment in GFH as part of the deal.
The Australian bank is a global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services and is keen to have a presence in the region and North Africa and use GFH expertise to develop Sharia-compliant products.
The proposed partnership is subject to board, internal, and regulatory approvals of both companies.
It is the subject of a confidential memorandum of understanding signed by the parties in a private ceremony in Bahrain yesterday.
"The strategic partnership with Macquarie represents an exciting opportunity as we look to continue the bank's diversification into new geographies and opportunities," said GFH's new chief executive officer Ahmed Fahour.
"This announcement is an exciting step towards realising GFH's long-term objective of establishing a truly world-class Islamic investment bank.
"The strategic relationship would bring together GFH and Macquarie to create the standard in Sharia-compliant products and services for the Middle East and North Africa region."
"This is a significant development for us in that we are linking up with a Western-style investment bank, which will enable us to develop a platform and attract a broader coverage in the region while structuring existing Macqarie products into Sharia-compliant offerings," said GFH chief operating officer John Wright.
"Macquarie has been aggressive in developing a global footprint and has wanted to move into this part of the world. The fact that our new chief executive officer comes from Australia and was well known to Macquarie helped create this partnership.
"The fact that Macquarie is investing $100m in the project shows how much faith it has in GFH and it is a positive message ahead of our $300m rights issue, details of which we will be sending to shareholders in the near future."

The Anaheim Ducks Plan To Play The Same Way
by Paul on 05/08/14 at 10:03 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Derek Van Diest of the Edmonton Sun,
It has been said the definition of insanity is doing the same things and expecting different results.
In many cases, it holds true.
Yet, the Anaheim Ducks would be crazy to overhaul their approach heading into Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinal series against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, despite being down 2-0 in the series.
The Ducks are looking to replicate what they've done in the first two games of the series, hoping the law of averages kicks in and changes the final result.
"That's exactly the way it is," said Ducks winger Corey Perry after a spirited practice Wednesday. "We talked about a couple of different things that we wanted to do differently going forward into Game 3. There are a couple of things that we need to work on. But, for the most part, if we do a lot of the similar things in our D-zone and working our way out, we're going to be all right."

Tri-City Medical Center may eliminate its pediatric and hospice departments and its occupational health clinic, according to budget presentations made to hospital directors Thursday night.
Hospital executives presented a draft budget to Tri-City directors that includes eliminating all three services, but the decision is not final. The hospital board is set to vote on the budget at its next regular meeting June 28.
Of the three services, eliminating pediatrics seemed to be the least certain. Casey Fatch, Tri-City's chief operating officer, said the district saw an average of fewer than one patient per day last year for its small six-bed pediatric unit. Most sick kids, he said, are sent to Rady Children's Hospital San Diego if they need an overnight stay. Only a few kids with upper respiratory illness tend to be admitted at Tri-City, and the unit lost about $200,000 last year.
Fatch said that the larger concern with low patient volume is maintaining the skills of the nurses, anesthesiologists and other hospital workers who must cater to kids.
"If you do low volumes, it's like anything else, it's hard to keep staff level of confidence and skills up," Fatch said.
If the board goes along with the idea of eliminating pediatrics, it would not be the first time.
In June 2002, the hospital board eliminated its 15-bed pediatric unit because it was losing $900,000 per year. The matter became an election issue, and the hospital reinstituted a smaller, six-bed ward in December 2003.
Fatch said he believed there would need to be more outreach to the community before moving away from pediatrics again.
"There should be a further conversation with the medical staff and the community," Fatch said.
Hospital executives said there are fewer concerns about eliminating the hospital's hospice department and occupational health clinic, because both have alternatives in the area outside of the hospital. Private hospice providers, for example, compete regularly for referrals, hospital officials said.
Overall, Tri-City is projecting a positive budget for the coming fiscal year, which starts July 1 and runs through June 30, 2011.
Tri-City's budget builders project that the public district hospital will discharge 18,632 patients in the coming budget year, almost 1,500 more than the 17,158 expected to have been discharged by the end of the current fiscal year on June 30.
Emergency department visits, deliveries and inpatient and outpatient surgery cases are all projected to increase as well.
All told, Tri-City expects to book a $20 million profit next year. That's significantly better than the $7 million profit expected to be in the bank at the end of the current budget year and better than the $14.8 million profit tallied in 2011.

Michael Brendan Dougherty and Zeke Miller
Business Insider
October 31, 2011
The scandals swirling around Herman Cain today – that two women accused him of sexual harassment in the 90s, and his campaign may be in violation of federal campaign and tax laws – will be fatal to his presidential ambitions. It's over folks.
There were reasons to believe that conservatives would stand behind their man – and if he comes up with a good story, they still might.
1) They liked Cain personally, and more than that they liked the idea of Herman Cain. Here was a successful-in-the-market black entrepreneur who was becoming the favorite of Tea Party Republicans. Cain's very person seemed to embody the success of a conservative ideology, and at the same time his popularity flattered conservatives. He was a walking refutation of liberal claims that conservative Republicans are racists.
2) Conservatives, whatever they said about Bill Clinton, are primed to believe that many sexual harassment lawsuits are monetary shakedowns by aggrieved employees. All that Cain's team had to do was say affirmatively that nothing inappropriate happened and imply strongly that these lawsuits were settled for financial and public-relations reasons.
3) It is getting so late in the primary season, it seems like there was no time left to get behind a conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has seen his support base completely erode, and Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Michele Bachmann are in no better position to replace him as the base's standard-bearer.
And conservatives did line up to defend Cain last night when the story broke. Ann Coulter and Washington Examiner lined up to compare this report to attacks on Clarence Thomas.
But this rally isn't going to last. Cain was already a long-shot. Campaign donors will not answer calls for a besieged long-shot.
And conservative groups are now waiting for an answer from Cain and his campaign, and they don't like how long it is taking. By this morning Joseph Lawler of The American Spectator was telling readers that the story is legitimately of public interest. Concerned Women for America, a socially conservative group, was demanding answers as well.
But the whole reaction of the Cain campaign has got to be disconcerting to conservatives hoping to find someone to challenge Barack Obama in a tough 2012 campaign. The Cain campaign has been slow and disorganized in its attempt to quash this scandal, all while it is supposed to have known this story was coming for ten days. This is not the kind of performance GOP voters are going to demand of their 2012 candidate.
The response of Cain's people confirmed everyone's fears that this insurgent candidate has no real organization, and no ability to rapidly respond to the media, much less drive the narrative of a wild campaign.
But the mere fact of this scandal ruins the romantic image voters were developing of Cain, the non-politician. The Herman Cain brand that people loved was utterly plainspoken and direct. The Herman Cain of today is "sighing" at Politico's reporters, and refusing to answer questions about this story at AEI. The old Herman Cain was beating Mitt Romney. This new one can't beat anyone.
It's over.

Tales of Zestiria announced for 20th anniversary of Tales series
Today publisher Namco Bandai announced a new entry in the Tales role-playing game series.
Tales of Zestiria marks the 20th anniversary for the series in Japan, where the titles are developed. It's coming for the PlayStation 3, but Namco Bandai did not confirm a release window.
All four series designers — Mutsumi Inomata, Kosuke Fujishima, Daigo Okumura, and Minoru Iwamoto — will collaborate on character designs, and Japanese animation studio Ufotable Inc. is creating the animated cutscenes and opening movie.
"In recent years, we have received anticipation for the series not only from Japan but from overseas fans as well," said Makoto Yoshizumi, chief producer on the series at Namco Bandai Games. "Because of this, I feel that the Tales of series has more potential than ever before. For this reason, we are taking this opportunity to announce Tales of Zestiria as a worldwide title."
Two other localized titles, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles and Tales of Xillia 2 (pictured), are due next year for PS3.
