A lot of people see this as Aborted's sellout record, but i'd argue that that didn't come 'til much later (Strychnine), but even then, that's hardly a sellout record, just a bad one. What this is is basically a very different approach than what Aborted had done before. Yeah parts of it sound a bit metalcore and it's very different to the last 3 albums, but since when did different mean sellout?
This is a solid brutal death metal with a fair amount of influence from melodic death metal and metalcore. If that sounds vomit inducing to you, stop reading and go listen to Purity of Perversion. Anyone who doesn't care, carry on.
Once again, Svencho outdoes his bandmates with a punishing assault of extremely deep and guttural grunts that put even the most br00t4l of slam vocalists to shame. Accompanying these horrifying growls and a barrage of hardcore shouting. Again, the combination of styles and the way Sven uses them really gives him character as a vocalist, as opposed to just doing the same song for 36 minutes.
The riffs range from fast thrashy riffs to mid-paced death metal to occasional breakdowns which I imagine are placed for the purpose of a live setting. While they aren't terribly varied, they are very heavy, and the band have the courtesy not to make them drag on. One such example is opener Dead Wreckoning, which features a breakdown halfway through with some samples from American Psycho (great film with a shit ending) with Svencho seemingly telling a tale from the mind of a madman, about the closest thing this album has to choruses.
There are solos on this, but they're few and far between. They're skillfully played, but not very memorable, but still, i'd take a well played throwaway solo over one that I only remember for being bad. Bass nonexistent. No surprise there. Drumwork is what you expect from Aborted by now. Lots of blast beats and concise fills. Nothing terrific, merely competent.
This is a solid release from a band that should surely be recognised as a standout from the brutal death metal pack. Worship them like the gods they are. Not their best release, but far from their worst.
Highlights: Dead Wreckoning, Gestated Rabidity, The Inertia, Voracious Haemoglobinic Syndrome
Aborted is the only straight up death metal band out of Belgium that I listen to on any normal basis, starting with the 2nd album Engineering the Dead. The Archaic Abattoir is the band's 4th full length, coming off the heels of what many fans consider their best, Goremageddon. Aborted rock a style that infused grinding Carcass rhythms and brutal drum work with a lot of breakdowns. For this reason (and the way the vocals are positioned over a lot of the chugging riffs), they cast a few misleading -core shadows on this album and its successors.
'Eviscerated carnal delicatesse
Had been lying around for days
My cannibalistic malpractice enthralls
Gangrenous process in excess
Bereaving the swarm of flesh
A malpractice in necronutricious form...'
But don't panic. The Archaic Abattoir is still hand over fist a death metal record, with energetic bursts of controlled chaos such as "A Cold Logistic Slaughter", "Gestated Rabidity", and "The Gangrenous Epitaph" sure to inflame any pit starved crop of gorefiends. The band does display moments of branching out here, such as the brief electro rhythm that breaks into "Voracious Haemoglobinic Syndrome", a track that balances grooves, brutality and some further synth. Closer "Decend to Extirpation" does have some dual corish vocals to it, yet the leads and melodies make the song feel bloody and fresh, and it busts out a truly old school feel during the bridge. I'm not fond of all the tracks on the album, for example "Hecatomb" is a waste of space, just under three minutes of mostly metalcore breakdowns that occasionally transform into deathgrind with a boring selection of notes. "The Inertia" loses just that, it begins with a bang and later descends into some bland riffing before a final, sad guitar rhythm attempts to save it.
It's almost as if the album refuses to commit itself fully to awesomeness, playing safe with a few lame pit grooves in a number of the tracks. Granted, it sounds fantastic, with big, chunky guitar rhythms that recall Carcass and no lack for bass or drumming. I prefer Sven's vocals when he's straight up grunting, the use of multiple layered vocals only serves the -core aesthetic, and there is a straight metalcore bark used often. The lyrics are actually decent here, a little deeper than the average sloppy gore. Though it shows moments of worth, The Archaic Abattoir is sadly pale in comparison to the previous two albums. Fans might find enough here to listen on, but my impulses are better served through Engineering the Dead or Goremageddon.
Highlights: Gestated Rabidity, The Gangrenous Epitaph, Voraceous Haemoglobinic Syndrome
This is a fun album, and because its so good it is in my top 100 albums of alltime and is surely a top 10 record. This is death metal at its finest with tons of brutality and monolithic musicianship. The production on this album is great with excellent clarity of the all the instruments involved. There is an obvious Carcass influence on this record not just with the sick lyrical content but also with the outstanding guitar work presented here. The leads and soloing seems to just come out of nowhere but it actually gives the music an added dimension which propels this album from ordinary death metal to balls to the wall technical and artistic sonic domination. Top tracks include "Dead Wreckoning", "Gestated Rabidity", "The Inertia", and "Threading On Vermillion Deception" (my personal favorite).
This band has come a long way from their initial releases even though back then they were highly regarded as one of the best bands out on the market even then. They've added more technicality and have enriched their music further since their inception. They have furthered the boundaries when it comes to extreme death metal using heavy riffs and groove oriented combinations transcending a lot of bands while kicking ass and taking names. As a whole this group has advanced to another level with this record and are not afraid to experiment which give them an added versatility to go along with an already brutal sound. With great searing vocals, excellent guitar work, and bone crushing drum work Aborted have given you a glimpse of what is too come for the band. At the end of the day you can call it grindcore or just straight up death metal. It doesnt matter, this shit is sick, gory, and twisted and Aborted have severed the ties to themselves from the rest of crowd.
The Archaic Abattoir is a step away from the prior records from this band in the sense that they have added a melodic touch with a almost metalcorish sound. So it may turn off some fans who do not care or have grown tired of the melodeath movement. But those moments are small and in between some truly great death metal.
There is just so much to love about this record, its got everything. Its got great musicianship, blood curdling vocals, and downright catchy songs. There are so many great elements throughout this record that there is just no way even the most diehard of death metal fan cannot enjoy. When Aborted first jumped on the scene they have gotten the reputation of being nothing but a Carcass clone, now they have taken what Carcass had started and and further refined the sound and technicality but with advanced it with more heaviness and technique. Even as i write this their follow-up can not hold a candle to this record. This is and was the defining moment for this band and it is a must for any serious death metal fan.
This was the first album I heard by Aborted, and at first I thought it was a strange low for the band that my friends had told me so much about. But then I bought 'Goremageddon…' and I realised that it wasn't particularly bad for them.
The problem with Aborted is how distinctly average the song writing is. Also, a small amount of variety would be a nice thing. Throughout the album, there is little or no change in tempo, and the time signature appears to make no change either.
The guitar playing is solid, sure, but there's nothing memorable about the riffs, with the possible exception of one decent riff with quite a bit of groove about half way through 'Blood Fixing The Bled'. The whole of the rest of the album just melts into nothing worth any hype. Another problem with the guitar playing is the complete lack of technicality. They would appear to get their speed and 'br00tality' from the drums. It was once mentioned in a Cannibal Corpse interview that it's all very well having hyper-fast blasts, but they (CC) get their speed from the guitar playing and the speed of the vocal delivery, which is why their music beats the shit out of this. Final disappointment about the guitar playing is the lack of decent solos. There's a solo close to the end of 'Gestated Rabidity', but that's just a few notes strung together at quite a slow speed. It's also woefully short, lasting at around five or six notes. One good guitar solo could add about five percent onto the final rating, but this is another thing which this album is sadly lacking.
The vocals are perhaps the most annoying thing on this whole album. Sure, a death metal vocalist is never going to be instantly comprehendible, but unfortunately the vocals for the most part come across like a hoarse monkey whose testicles have suddenly dropped… six or seven feet. Does even the biggest deathcore fanboy want to listen to 'OOO OOO EEE EEE OOO EEE OOOOO'? I think not. A slight redemption comes with the higher pitched vocals, which are actually listenable.
Almost as pathetic as the vocals are the lyrics. As soon as the first lyric (not actually in the lyric sheet, but pretty much the only intelligible thing on the album) hit my ears, my hopes for the album's lyrics dropped further than they have for any other album. Does 'FUCKING GO!' sound like a lyric that's worth writing to you? Thought not. Continuously through the album, the lyrics alternate between 'scientific' junk that probably means nothing anyway, and 'emo' shite.
The best thing about the album is the drumming. And even that's only slightly above average, with decent blasts and good other drumming. But as it's only just above average, there's nothing more for me to really say about it without sounding like the band's biggest fan (which I think it's quite clear I'm not).
Finally, there's the production. It's alright, but it sounds too much like a modern, clean, no risks production to me. It's clinically perfect, but that's not a good thing here.
Overall, a surprisingly mediocre album.
You may have read one rave review after the next, but if everyone else likes it, does that mean it is good? In the world of extreme metal, we inherently believe this to be false. We like evil, downtuned, obscure, brutal music - and we like it even more because most people can't stand it. That's probably why hate trends build around metal bands that gain too much popularity - if too many listeners have their album, how UNDERGROUND can a band be? While not necessarily an adherent to the hate trend philosophy, I have now become much more wary of over-hyped albums. Such is the case with THE ARCHAIC ABATTOIR.
Not to say that Aborted don't have a lot of things going for them. The drumming is fast, the vocals (for the most part) are low and gurgly but discernable, and quite a few cool riffs show their faces over the course of TAA. But overall, this is not a disc you pick up and throw in the CD player - there isn't a lot of cohesion, memorability, or presence there. I can play NIGHTMARES MADE FLESH or BLACK TO THE BLIND any day, and enjoy them just as much as the first time. Not so with TAA. I listen to two or three songs, and that's it.
My biggest problems are as follows - blasting drumming just for the sake of blasting drumming, a lot of filler riffs, some obnoxious hardcore vocals, and an overall sterile clean sound. For some bands, this sterile sound works (Decapitated, for example), but with Aborted everything just sounds overdone.
But fear not, there are some cool moments to be found, scattered amidst the clatter. Or splatter, I should say. And before I forget, the artwork certainly is grim - good job, gang. Anyway, "Threading on Vermillion Deception" has an excellent main riff that will have most injuring their spinal column. Other than that, there's a cool electronic intro to "Voracious Haemoglob…blab bla bla," and "A Cold Logistic Slaughter" is pretty brutal. Almost each track has a solo, breakdown, or ingenious drum pattern that will make most fans of this style take notice. And it is interesting how they've mixed the medical goregrind genre with melodic death and death-thrash, but that hardcore influence has GOT to go.
So, a sixty percent is probably a little inflated, but you can tell they tried and I respect that. One can also see that they tried for a bigger audience, and I suppose you can't knock a band for wanting to be successful. Oh wait, this is extreme metal. I guess you can. Not a mandatory purchase - don't believe the hype.
I'm really not a fan of all of this goregrind music, but when it comes to Aborted, I can't complain. This band has stretched the boundaries of it's musical style far enough into the melodic death metal territory, and recently into the metalcore genre.
The album kicks in with "Dead Wreckoning" which shows, beside a really neat intro taken from "American Psyhco" the song shows a wise combination between heavy riffage based upon a drastic groove, and a blasting tempo like what we came to know as the trademark of death metal in general. The vocalist here shows a nasty second side of his throat, beside the familiat gurgling bellow. The vocals range to more Hardcore shouting, resembling a twisted offspring of both Glen Benton and Harley Flanagan.
When the song ends, we quickly flow into the more dynamic "Blood Fixing The Bled". The guitarwork here reminds me of Carcass, and in conclusion I can say that this feeling followed me while I was listenning to the entire album.
"Gestated Rabidity" is a better song than the last two - not in a speical way, but I guess more well-written. The vocals of the singer shines through this entire record - much more than Aborted's earlier career.
If I'll be forced to pick up a highlight, I would point at "The Gangrenous Epitaph", which is more groovy than the rest of the songs in the album, and the vocals here are much more hardcore-oriented than the rest of the songs. This song can even mistakenly be considered as a lost Hatebreed tune. Maybe it's diverted theme is what makes it shine in the pile, but I can't really say that the rest of the songs don't do their work.
For all of you Carcass lovers from all times, and for those who like to add a little spice of hardcore harshness to an almost dulling formula of brutal death metal - Aborted's "The Archaic Abattoir" will be your best pick
Despite what the first reviewer has said, this album is killer. Aborted became more than a straight out death metal band on Goremageddon - they became a grind band. No longer did they worry about conventions, boundaries or constraints. They threw grooves in the mix, a few hardcore vocals and - god forbid - some melody. They cared naught what was expected of them.
This time around the brutal Belgians have incorporated more of a hardcore/groove orientation. Still brutal as hell, but when you're playing this style of music youve got to keep 'em guessing to stay interesting. Perhaps they wained a little too much from their older work, but this album still tears shit up. Cool samples and structures, stylish grooves, a few melodic passages and as always - brutal death and grind.
However this album is not on par with Goremageddon, and I agree that the Haematobic EP had me expecting just that little bit more. Nonetheless, if anyone utters the term 'sellout' or 'commerical' I'll have no choice but to laugh in their face. Bitterly.
Brutal as hell, and catchy too. There is nothing wrong with that. If you want a better example of this genre try the new Cephallic Carnage. Awe inspiring.
Yesterday i finally managed to get in my hands Aborted's newest effort The Archaic Abattoir. The Haematobic EP provided a couple tracks from the forthcoming album and i was delightfully intrigued how the new album would sound like. It sounded a little bit better produced than "Goremageddon" and that promised something. After i got finished listening to the new album this morning i was utterly dissapointed. Aborted has moved to a more "groovier" sound on this one? The songs on this album sounds like they don't know where they're going, they're repeating themself. Ok that's not totally true, you can spot the differences in the guitarsolos. The drumwork is however good as usual and Sven's roaring vocals are ok but that doesn't save this album from being a turkey.
The hightlights on this albums are Voracious Haemoglobinic Syndrome and Gestated Rabidity which were unfourtunaly already released on the previous ep. The album ends with a confusing feel that your cd player is broken.

The 2009 Stanford iGEM project centers on creating a device that will detect and respond to imbalances in specific subpopulations of T-cells, a type of immune cell. The two populations of T-cells that we are particularly interested in are Th17 cells, a branch of helper T-cells that promote inflammatory responses, and T-regulatory cells, the immunosuppressive response generator. Imbalances in the ratio of this cellular pair have been implicated in a wide rage of immune disorders including rheumatoid arthritis and irritable bowel diseases (IBDs).
Our goal is to sense and correct such imbalances in individuals suffering from IBDs by creating an Escherichia coli-based bacterial device that polarizes immune cells to have directed differentiation along either the Th17 or T-regulatory lineage. Our device will consist of two parts. The first part, our anti-inflammatory device, will control dangerous localized inflammation in the gut by detecting a byproduct of Th17 cell proliferation, nitric oxide, and excreting retinoic acid, a marker that down regulates Th17 populations. Likewise, the second, anti-immunosuppressive device, regulates T-regulatory populations by detecting an analog of tryptophan, a target substrate of T-regulatory markers, and emits interleukin-6, a cytokine that down regulates T-regulatory cells.
We envision our proposed machine as a novel and directed probiotic therapy that will act at the interface between commensal bacteria and human lymphocytes while integrating cutting-edge immunology with synthetic biology.

A WEEK after Adelaide was seen to escape lightly for its salary cap cheating, Sydney is about to pull off a brazen heist.
Don't look now, but the 2012 premier is about to turn an already power-packed forward line into the most attacking force in football.
And if you thought offering pick 23 and fringe forward Jesse White to Adelaide for Kurt Tippett was laughable, the Swans will effectively get the Crows star for free.
That muffled sound you hear from north of the border is a club giggling at the sheer improbability of securing Tippett for nothing.
Greater Western Sydney yesterday cleared the way for the Swans, saying it would not pick Tippett at Tuesday's pre-season draft.
It means Sydney boasts a forward line brimming with emerging stars (Sam Reid, Gary Rohan, Lewis Jetta), veteran matchwinners (Adam Goodes, Ryan O'Keefe) and unlikely finals heroes (Lewis Roberts-Thomson, Mike Pyke, Mitch Morton). Add Tippett and it becomes close to unstoppable.
Yet somehow beaten Grand Final opponent Hawthorn has opened premiership betting at $3.50, while the Swans are $7.
And there are other reasons the Swans are laughing.
Not only do they get Tippett, but they used their first-round pick (22) on mature-aged VFL flanker Dean Towers, and saw projected first-round pick Tim Membrey slip through to their second pick at No.46.
Key forward Membrey kicked 16 goals in three TAC Cup finals with Gippsland Power.
Tippett may be overrated, but he still kicked 39 goals from 80 shots last season.
Instead of giving up an early pick for Tippett, the Swans sacrificed nothing and get Tippett, keep White and, with a first-round pick they never expected to retain, selected Towers, a 22-year-old midfielder from VFL club North Ballarat who is ready to roll straight away.
So Reid (31.19 this year) plays the lead-up centre half-forward, Goodes (37 goals) has his usual roving commission, and Tippett gets 11 weeks' rest to ensure his concussion issues are solved.
Alongside that trio are brilliant half-forward Jetta (45 goals), Ben McGlynn (30 goals) and, in a pinch-hitting role, the ungainly but effective Roberts-Thomson (25 goals).
Then throw in the effervescent Rohan, and goalkicking midfielders such as O'Keefe (20 goals), Josh Kennedy (29), Kieren Jack (27) and Jarrad McVeigh (18). It is a fearsome sight.
Tippett may be overrated, but he still kicked 39 goals from 80 shots last season.
Argue all you want about the validity of Sydney's extra salary cap dispensation and the bizarre circumstances that have thrown Tippett into the pre-season draft.
But the harder you work, and the more cunning your recruiting team, and the more irons you put in the fire, the luckier you tend to get in the AFL.

I have to say, I was initially kind of skeptical of this story about the judge who threw out a lawsuit against a Muslim for assaulting an atheist. Several people have emailed us looking for a comment on it, and I hesitated to jump on it until I knew the whole story.
It's not that I thought a Muslim wouldn't attack an atheist, it's just that people have cried wolf on exaggerated versions of imaginary creeping Islam in the United States — with several southern states going so far as to pass essentially useless and redundant legislation banning Sharia law, as if that were a serious threat.
In this case, though, having read the details of the case and listening to much of the court's audio, a judge did, in fact, come out with something that sounds very, very dumb.
"Whenever it is very common, their language, when they're speaking to each other, it's very common for them to say, uh, Allah willing, this will happen. It's, they're so immersed in it. And what you've done is, you've completely trashed their essence, their being. They find it very, very, very offensive.
I'm a Muslim.* I find it offensive. I find what's on the other side of this [sign] very offensive. But you have that right, but you are way outside your bounds of First Amendment rights."
Yeah, except, the thing is… he's not. The first amendment has many exceptions established by legal precent, but "doing things that other people find offensive" is not one of them. Both the judge and the defendant, of course, have the right to find it offensive, and to publicly state all day that they find it offensive, and many people might even be sympathetic to them.
But you know, tough luck. Assault is assault, and its legal status is in no way affected by the fact that the person committing the assault felt really, really mad about their religion not being respected. Illegal stuff doesn't become legal just because religion is involved, and that should go equally for every religion.
I shall, however, remain skeptical about the noise right wing blogs are making about how the judge was somehow following Sharia law, and therefore THE THREAT IS BACK, PEOPLE! The judge's dumb decision was his own, and I hope this gets further appeals.
Oh yeah, and also, notice that this story contains data points both for and against the notion that atheists are the most hated group in America. In a case where Islam is against atheism, the atheist lost. However, the same people who can usually be expected to hate on atheists, seem to be largely siding with the plaintiff. So there's that.
* Note: Although the copied transcript claims that the judge said "I'm a Muslim," he emphatically denies that this is the case.
Edit: It sounds to me as if what he really said was "I'm a Muslim, I'D find it offensive." I think what he was trying to say was "Hypothetically speaking, if I were a Muslim, then I would find it offensive." However, he took an unfortunate verbal shortcut that completely changed the apparent meaning.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:

Apple's verdict is in: State Street not such a great street.
The California company has decided instead to place its second Chicago store on the site of a former gas station in the wildly congested North & Clybourn corridor, Crain'sreports.
The city had been hoping to lure Apple to its cursed Block 37 project.
"The Loop is playing to a slightly lower socio-economic group than North and Clybourn," developer Bill Smith of Smithfield Properties told Crain's.
Apple has been searching for a North Side location since even before it opened its North Michigan Avenue store in 2003; it's been considering the Clybourn Corridor since at least July 2007.
"The transaction signals the continued rise to retailing power of the crowded Clybourn thoroughfare and shows that State Street, despite its recent revival, continues to have a hard time attracting well-heeled shoppers," Crain's writes.
The new store is expected to be 15,000-square-feet and - of prime importance to Apple and its fans - will use the same design firm that conceived of the Michigan Avenue store, which is 25,000-square-feet.

Lunch @ Piero's @ CES 2007
Subject: Shows and Expos | January 24, 2007 - 12:39 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
VIA Arena represented VIA at an Ultra Mobile PC focused event, called Lunch @ Piero's. From the extremely portable to designs made to fit in your car, the UMPC has come a long way in the past year. There are quite a few shots of the products, which help you get an idea of what the UMPCs released this year will look like.
"It was my great pleasure to attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this year, with my main role as being one
of the VIA staff on hand to answer questions at the Lunch @ Piero's event. In all, VIA demonstrated 8 different design wins as
the main sponsor of Lunch @ Piero's, the now very well known media event held annually during CES. From the first ever UMPC,
the TabletKiosk eo v7110, to the latest premium offering from OQO, VIA's processors were demonstrating that it is possible to
combine performance and compatibility with battery life and small form factors."

A rash of recession-induced layoffs in 2001 helped propel job discrimination complaints to their highest level in six years, according to new data from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Employee complaints to the EEOC rose to 80,840 last year. That's the most since 1995, when the agency received 87,529 claims. The biggest jump in claims came from workers alleging discrimination based on age. Reason: Attorneys say the aging work force and a record number of layoffs were a potent legal mix.
The EEOC is also wrapping up cases more quickly. On average, the commission resolved bias charges in 182 days last year, a 34-day decline from 2000 and the lowest level since the early 1980s. To read more about the new enforcement data, visit www.eeoc.gov.

"I wish I could say we thought of it ourselves, but the idea came from a customer," OssiUrlaub's managing director Enrico Hess told Reuters in a recent phone interview. "It's an unusual gap in the market." Such a comment begs two important questions: First, was said gap really so unusual? And second, just because a gap exists, does that mean it needs to be filled? The answer to both questions is a decided "yes." That after all, is what capitalism is all about. Without it, the world would be deprived of such innovations as strawberry Cheetos and boob mice. And now, thanks to OssiUrlaub, the friendly skies just got a whole lot more comfortable–just as long as they, you know, stay away from those first-class leather seats.
The German travel company will begin booking on Friday for its new nudist-friendly travel service. Happy naked German daytrippers can snap up tickets for the July 5th flight from Erfurt to the Baltic Sea resort of Usedom for 499 euros apiece.
"It's expensive, I know," said Hess. "It's because the plane's very small. There's no real reason why a flight in which one flies naked should be more expensive than any other." Although they won't be saving money on uniforms–unlike the passengers, who will be able to strip after boarding, the crew will be made to keep their clothes on, for "safety reasons."
"I don't want people to get the wrong idea," said Hess, no doubt anticipating a healthy amount of skepticism. "It's not that we're starting a swinger club in mid-air or something like that," he added. "We're a perfectly normal holiday company."
Looks like folks interested in getting their sky-high kicks will just have to do it the old-fashioned way.

Arthur Miller's The Crucible was an out-and-out diatribe against the evils of the McCarthy reign over the House Un-American Activities Committee and its witch-hunt for evildoers. Christopher Fry's 1949 The Lady's Not for Burning, on the other hand, was not. The British attitude toward what was going on in America was one of condescension toward HUAC's excesses. Now director Matt Kirkwood has decided that Fry's romantic comedy/drama really is about McCarthy's regime and in the process has lost a lot of the charm, poetic lyricism, and glimmer of the play. He sets the action in 1949 in a New England town, where everyone speaks in verse and the post-war attitudes play against both the rich humor and the soaring high style of the piece.
Thomas Mendip, returning from battle, is depressed over the state of his life and seeks a hangman's release as he invades the local mayor's home. Then arrives Jennet Jourdemayne, daughter of a deceased local alchemist, who has continued some of her father's experiments. The townsfolk call her a witch and surround the mayor's home. They are Fry's symbols of individuality and personal worth. The mayor's domestic world plays against and for them. The mayor's sister Margaret thinks only of the social swirl that spins around her, and her silly sons Humphrey and Nicholas, though grown, act like little sparring adolescents over everything, particularly the lovely young Alizon, taken from a convent to become the wife of one of them. The only stable person is Richard, the mayor's clerk, who inadvertently helps to arrange everything for a happy ending.
If one can look past Kirkwood's concept, which looks very much like a kinetic Frank Capra comedy, and into the writing, the magic is still there, but it's difficult to separate it from the sitcom performances, the roughhousing, and the Yankee flatness of tone. Out of the cast, three performances work: Dennis Gersten's Humphrey and Steve Reisberg's Nicholas, as bumptious as they should be, and particularly Brad Benedict's gleamingly innocent clerk Richard. They hear Fry's voice and listen to it. Laurie Kragness as the convent girl they joust over is also pretty solid, with a nice comic touch.
As the bumbling, rascally Mayor Tyson, Barry Thompson has a few moments but, along with Sylvia Little as his sister, looks like something from television. The biggest problem though, is in the two central figures: K.C. Marsh's flat Thomas, acting very much like Gary Merrill's best friend in a war movie, and Kelly Godfrey's colorless Jennet, a sort of hostess at Denny's; they have neither the magic nor the flair for high comedy that would bring them to theatrical life. But it's not really the fault of the actors. Kirkwood's concept is as illogical and unworkable as restaging Tennessee Williams' Streetcar in mid-19th century Moscow and calling it A Troika Named Desire.
"The Lady's Not for Burning," presented by the Other Side of the Hill Productions at the Road Theatre Company, 5108 Lankershim Blvd., N. Hollywood. Fri.-Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 7 p.m. Feb. 8-Mar. 30. $15. (818) 759-3382, ext. 2#.

Full privatization through controlling rights transfer in China: the extent of its success
This article investigates the effect of the second step of privatization in China, which is full privatization through controlling rights transfer after share issue partial privatization. It finds that fully privatized firms perform worse than state-controlled enterprises. Expropriation by private block shareholders is greater than that by state block shareholders. Furthermore, increase in expropriation is negatively related to performance change. The results suggest that full privatization may not yield the expected efficiency gains in transition economies with weak legal system. They also emphasize the importance of preventing private block shareholders from exploiting minority shareholders in the process of full privatization.

A MAN who was stabbed by a lifelong friend thought he was going to die.
The victim of Marc Blades told people tending his leg injury: "Tell the kids I love them, my time is up," Durham Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor Richard Bennett said Blades is 'dependent on alcohol' and had been drinking heavily on Boxing Day, last year.
"He formed the impression his former partner was at the home of his childhood friend Neil Thompson," Mr Bennett told the court. "Blades phoned Mr Thompson on more than one occasion before turning up at his door. He told Mr Thompson: 'I'm coming back with swords.'
"Blades did return a short time later."
The court heard that when Blades returned, he drew two knives from his pockets, holding one in each hand.
Mr Thompson tried to calm him and during a struggle was stabbed in the thigh.
Blades, 38, of Potto Street, Shotton Colliery, admitted unlawful wounding, and two charges of carrying a bladed article with intent to cause fear of violence.
Judge Neil Clark jailed Blades for two years.


text: Social Login Trends Across the Web Q2 2010 August 16, 2010 by Michael Olson research, social login, social login trends, social sharing, trends In January and April of this year, we shared data on which social network or email identities people use to sign-in to websites and their preferred social networks for sharing their online activities. Today, Mashable published an update of our data. Publications such as Mashable, TechCrunch or ReadWriteWeb frequently report on new services and features launched by major social networks and web portals like Facebook, Twitter, Google and Yahoo!. In an increasingly competitive landscape, these providers of online identity are furiously working to differentiate their offerings to reach a larger audience and build sustained loyalty among existing users. For marketers, digital strategists and developers managing websites for their online businesses, this has two major implications: It has become critical to understand the tools offered by these networks and how they can be leveraged to benefit your website and improve your online ROI. Implementing these tools on your corporate website can give your organization a huge competitive advantage. Because the networks are differentiating their features (and the plumbing and APIs for these features) so rapidly, it has become increasingly challenging to incorporate these tools into your website on your own. Hosted solutions that aggregate features from each network in a write to one, add support for many model can connect your site to the social networks quickly, saving you time and money while freeing you from ongoing maintenance and optimization. What follows here is an updated look at the most popular networks for sign-in and sharing based on the more than 250,000 websites worldwide using Janrain Engage. This report also looks at vertical markets such as News Media, Magazine Publishers, and Music Sites, as well as geographic preferences in Europe. Overall relative popularity of each network has held steady during the past quarter. Google remains the most preferred network with nearly 40% share. Facebook continues to be a popular option, and Yahoo!'s share has grown slightly since April, with 14% preferring a Yahoo! account to sign-in. While Twitter's popularity in the social web ecosystem continues to rise, it still remains the 4th most popular network for sign-in across our customers' websites. The story is different with media companies. On news media sites, Yahoo! is the leading choice for sign-in with 34% share. As a content-focused network, Yahoo! users proactively seek out news and timely content across the web, making it no surprise that the network performs well in this industry segment. Facebook and Google also maintain strong presences on news media sites. For magazine publishers, Facebook comprises 57% share of all logins. Many magazine publishers focus on lifestyle and interests, a natural pairing with Facebook users who like to share their interests with friends. On music sites (including the official communities of leading artists), Facebook and Twitter lead the pack by a considerable margin. Given that people tend to interact with these types of sites to learn about and share events, concert dates, new albums and other, it is no surprise that Facebook and Twitter have a strong lead over other networks in this vertical. On retail websites, Facebook is again the leading choice for sign-in and has grown in popularity with a 5% increase from last quarter. A sizable percentage (44% combined) also prefer to login via Yahoo! and Google. A look across Europe shows that Facebook is the most popular network for sign-in, followed by Google and Twitter. Windows Live is nearly twice as popular as a sign-in provider in Europe than in the U.S. It is important to note that regional social networks like Hyves perform very well in parts of Europe, particularly in the Netherlands. On certain Dutch websites, for example, Hyves is the chosen social network for sign-in by as many as 60% of web users. This sample includes media, music entertainment, online guides, social communities and technology sites in ten countries across Europe. The networks people prefer to sign-in to a website is only part of the equation. With the advent of social networks as a hub for content and activity sharing, companies are leveraging the sharing tools of Janrain Engage to enable their users to publish site activities (such as comments, purchases and reviews) to their friends on multiple social networks. On average, Janrain customers are realizing 9 qualified new visitors to their site from each post or social activity from a user on that site. This is word-of-mouth marketing in action, and results in a larger audience, increased page views, increased time on site and deeper engagement with your users. The breakdown of how consumers share their online activities through Janrain Engage social publishing: While Facebook is the most popular network for social sharing (53%), Twitter, Yahoo! and MySpace on aggregate are valued as highly (52%) by people for online activity syndication. It is important to note that Janrain Engage supports publishing of user activities to multiple social networks simultaneously. As an example, certain users may choose to share a purchase, article comment or product review with friends across four social networks at once. The landscape of the social web is competitive, and social networks and web portals are aggressively competing to be the trusted hub for a consumer's online identity. Because of this, uniform preference among web users is hard to find. In our conversations with organizations using Janrain Engage, we've found that they reach more customers and generate more revenue from their online efforts by casting a wide net across the social networks and identity providers. We will continue to publish data on social media platform preferences on a quarterly basis, and spotlight key new verticals.

New DSPs aid noninvasive diagnostics
Post a comment
Innovative DSP architectures are fostering the development of advanced medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment that simply was not possible even a few years ago.
The Diopsis dual-processor, floating-point VLIW DSP from Atmel Corp. is a case in point. Native support of complex arithmetic, 40-bit extended precision and a VLIW architecture that supports 1 Gflops at 100 MHz allow the execution of advanced adaptive algorithms that Canadian Medical Technologies Inc. (Cana-met) uses in its portable, noninvasive diagnostic and monitoring equipment. The processor's low clock rate and SoC integration of an ARM7 and peripherals help conserve power and space.
The 7 In One integrated vital signs monitor and Piesometer MK-1 blood pressure monitor from Canamet both use the Diopsis as the system controller and DSP.
Until recently, there were just two ways to monitor a patient's blood pressure. Using the auscultatory method, a medical practitioner with a stethoscope and mercury sphygmomanometer monitors the Korotkoff sounds caused by blood flowing through the brachial artery. The other method, employed by automatic blood pressure machines, relies on an oscillometric technique that estimates blood pressure based on tiny pressure fluctuations caused by the Korotkoff sounds and detected by the same pressure transducer that monitors the pressure in the pressure cuff. In vibration-intensive environments, the vibration itself can cause pressure fluctuations that reduce measurement accuracy.
Canamet has overcome those issues by using adaptive signal-processing techniques that include adaptive interference cancellation, bandpass filtering and peak discrimination algorithms.
Canamet's Piesometer MK-1 portable blood pressure monitor has a primary acoustic sensor (placed on front of the patient's arm) that collects the Korotkoff sounds and any environmental noise. A secondary acoustic sensor (on the back of the arm) collects only the environmental noise. The adaptive interference cancellation algorithm is a nonlinear filter that removes the interference measured by the secondary sensor from the desired signal received by the primary sensor that was corrupted by environmental noise. The bandpass filter removes noise outside the frequency of interest. Finally, the peak discrimination algorithm extracts valid peaks from the Korotkoff sounds in the acoustic signal that result from heartbeats.
The first step is to isolate peaks that are greater than the noise floor level that is determined by the peak discriminator. The peaks are then further examined to determine whether they satisfy some periodicity and constancy in repetition (i.e., possible heartbeats), as would be expected from a human heart. Peaks that do not satisfy those constraints are discarded; however, a degree of arrhythmia is accounted for during this process. The result of the peak discriminator is a series of constantly repeating periodic peaks. This process also eliminates random peaks that may be due to strong transient noise effects.
The results are used to estimate the patient's pulse rate and derive the patient's blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure is defined as the point at which the positive slope of the envelope of the sequence of detected peaks is greatest. The diastolic pressure is at the point of greatest negative slope of the envelope. The times that these two events occur are referenced to the data acquired by the pressure transducer, which provides a time-varying measurement of the pressure in the deflating pressure cuff. The Piesometer MK-1 uses the auscultatory technique and has proved to have accuracy equivalent to that of a medical practitioner.
Advanced adaptive algorithms are computationally intensive, requiring the execution of billions of operations per second (Gops) and relying heavily on the use of fast Fourier transforms for such frequency-domain operations as time delays and spectral analysis. Conventional DSP architectures are not up to the task.
Fixed-point computing architectures do not possess the appropriate processing capabilities to execute these computationally intensive algorithms efficiently, and they tend to introduce inaccuracies in the weight vector calculation that actually increase the noise in the system. Floating-point arithmetic enables much more accurate calculations and provides faster development cycles because the C code does not have to be translated to a fixed-point format.
Innovations in the Diopsis DSP were indispensable to the development of Canamet's products. The 40-bit extended precision permitted extremely accurate computation of the adaptive weights in the adaptive interference canceller algorithm. While conventional floating-point DSP architectures typically require two cycles to execute an FFT, the Diopsis instruction set provides native support for the complex domain arithmetic required for single-cycle FFT execution for frequency-domain operations.
The very long instruction word, large register files and efficient architecture in the processor block let Diopsis execute 15 operations per second twice the throughput per cycle of any other DSP. Thus, while most DSPs must have a clock of 250 MHz to achieve the required Gops throughput, Diopsis can achieve 1.5 Gops, or 1 Gflops, with a clock rate of only 100 MHz. This keeps power consumption to only 750 milliwatts.
Finally, integration of the DSP with the ARM7 MCU, eight A/D and D/A interfaces and other peripherals provides a truly single-chip solution.

All of us need positive affirmation throughout our lives. As children, these powerful messages helped us to know that we were worthwhile, that it was all right to want food and to be touched, and that our very existence was a precious gift. The messages that we received from our parents helped us to form decisions that determined the course of our lives.
If we were raised with consistent, nurturing parents, we conclude that life is meaningful and that people are… (more)

- 6 Bold, Bugged-Out Gifts For BoysHere are 6 sure to please gifts for those bold, brash busybodied boys in your life. A few are limited edition or require overseas shipping, but if you get your hands on one of these gifts we're sure your boy will be a happy camper.1
- Poorex Poor Toys
1. POOR TOYS 20 € - Poorex
 This set of toys made from Beechwood are a retro-throwback to when chores meant actually doing something physical. These days we incinerate, tumble-dry and Swiffer our way through home care, but there was once a time when the sink had to be blocked with a stopper in order to do dishes, clothes had to hung on a line to by dried, and cleaning the floors involved a bucket of water and sturdy brush. It was those experiences that inspired these toys.2
- Papafoxtrot Space Fleet
2. SPACE FLEET $32 - Papafoxtrot
 "You can't fault the Dragon for being timid; not content with being the first private space vehicle to survive a return from orbit, it is also designed to potentially be the first commercial vehicle to reach Mars. In the meantime, it will have to settle for shuttling up to seven crew and cargo to the ISS in place of the recently retired Space Shuttle. In development by SpaceX since 2005, Dragon should be embarking on its first mission in 2012." - Papafoxtrot3
- Square Water Bottle by David Mayer at CleanBottle
3. SQUARE WATER BOTTLE $40 - David Mayer
 "My goal is really to get people thinking about bottles not as these clunky, utilitarian pieces, but as statements--in the same way women think about handbags and shoes and that we all think about our clothes, watches and sunglasses," he tells Co.Design. The bottles are finally available for pre-order at Clean Bottle, and will ship in December (hopefully in time for the holidays).4
- Raw Studios and Mingo Lamberti collaboration wooden Ikonik storage system
4. IKONIK COLLABORATION - Mingo Lamberti
 "Ikonik™ is our take on the original steel locker. Fully modular, flexible, durable, and available in a variety of prints and colours, Ikonik solves a wide range of storage challenges. - Raw Studios "We met Raw at a design fair last year and were bouncing around when they asked us to create original illustrations for their ikonik range. They allowed us the freedom we wanted and have grown to love." - Mingo Lamberti5
- Drawn by Instinct
5. DRAWN BY INSTINCT $40 - Tiffany Bozic
 "Having grown up on a farm in Arkansas, she was inspired by the natural world at an early age. Blending her external observations with the internal world has led her to refine a distinct style. She is said to be inspired by John James Audubon and Ernst Haeckel, but dives more deeply into the imaginary and darker aspects of the natural world. Bozic views the making of art as a kind of therapeutic process - a way to make sense of the world, of her relationship to life as it unfolds, of its power over us, and perhaps most importantly, of our power over it." - Artist Statement6
- MALET limited edition wooden Lego figure
6. WOODEN LEGO FIGURE 40 € - MALET
 Milled from beautiful wood, each of these handmade toys is unique and can be articulated in much the same way a standard Lego figure can. Malet's figures tower over their standard-issue versions inviting kids to create cardboard block cities to match this new scale. "Wooden Art toys handmade in limited edition of 20 pieces (11cm). Each toy is unique and numbered under the feet of the character for collectors. Wood and cardboard for a natural packaging."7

Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas announced on his Facebook page Sunday that he is taking time away from the game. Yet he didn't say how long.
"From the earliest age I can remember, I've wanted to be a hockey player. I've been blessed in my life to not only be able to live that dream, but to achieve more than I ever thought possible," he posted on his Facebook page. "The singleminded focus that is necessary to accomplish a dream of this magnitude entails (by necessity) sacrifice in other areas and relationships in life.
"At the age of 38, I believe it is time to put my time and energies into those areas and relationships that I have neglected. That is why at this time I feel the most important thing I can do in my life is to reconnect with the three F's. Friends, Family, and Faith. This is what I plan on doing over the course of the next year. "
Thomas said he will continue to train and stay in shape.
"What does this portend for the future?" Thomas wrote. "We'll see. … God's will be done."
Bruins officials have yet to comment on Thomas' statement. General manager Peter Chiarelli said Friday during a conference call that he was aware Thomas may sit out next season for family reasons.
"Tim came to me via his agent toward the beginning of May and said he was thinking of taking the year off," Chiarelli said. "The reasons are … I'm not exactly sure, but he did give reasons why regarding the family, which obviously I respect."
The hero of the Bruins' Stanley Cup title run last season, Thomas is entering the final year of his contract that pays him $3 million and his no-trade clause expires July 1. This season Thomas, 38, had a 35-19 record and a 2.40 goals-against average.
Thomas caused a backlash among fans when he boycotted the team's celebratory trip to the White House in January.
Chiarelli said he has to work under the assumption that the two-time Vezina Trophy winner won't be with the team next season.
"I've had some discussions with Tim and he's told me that he wants to play in the Olympics the following year, so I'll have more discussions with him later on," the GM said. "But we've got two very capable goalies in (Tuukka) Rask and (Anton) Khudobin, so I'd be more than satisfied if that's who we have to go with."
Rask is a restricted free agent and Khudobin has a year left on his contract. The Bruins also signed goalie Niklas Svedberg to an entry-level contract earlier in the week.
Thomas is due to make $3 million and will cost the Bruins $5 million against the salary cap.
Chiarelli also said that Thomas' potential decision to sit out the season and his age has diminished his trade value.
"I'm disappointed, but these things happen, and you gotta roll with them," Chiarelli said. "You got to deal with them, and when someone talks about their family and stuff, you have to respect that. We're not too disabled on the cap side and that was a strength of our team, but this happens as years progress and players take over certain roles, and that's what happened here."
Thomas won 35 games last season, allowed 2.35 goals per game and had a .920 save percentage.

John Willmott School dismisses competition and selects Extricom to overcome their connectivy issues
New York, NY – May 11, 2011 – Extricom Ltd., a designer and manufacturer of high-performance, next generation wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure solutions have today released a new case study for the education sector
Jamie Cook, Director of First Class Technologies (Extricom Installing Partner), introduced the school's ICT Operations Manager Mr Rahman to a number of solutions including offerings by HP, Ruckus, Aruba, 3Com and Extricom. Cost was an important consideration, but not the only one on the school management's agenda. Reliability was of the essence as connectivity problems were costing an extensive amount of support time and worse still, wasted teaching time. Knowing already what an overhead system qoxmu management can be, ease of network management was high on the list too, as was a built-in capability to support 802.11n, an important part of the school's future infrastructure strategy. Extricom's solution provided all the requirements in an affordable package including a simple web-based management system, independence of the supplier's engineers for changes in the future, and above all, reliability of performance.
Mr Rahman confirmed "Nearly every teacher at JWS will tell you of the pressure felt at the start of the lesson until everyone had successfully logged in to the network. No more. All of a sudden, the staff are beaming. No matter what class or room they're in, they just switch on and they're connected to the wireless network".

The Washington region is already feeling the impact of pending federal budget cuts as employers slow hiring and residents cut back on spending amid uncertainty about whether a lame-duck Congress will reach a deficit-driven deal this fall.
Local contractors, from defense industry titans to small-business owners, have altered the way they're doing business, saying they can ill afford to be caught off guard by a late round of mandated pink slips.
And though the slowdown may be a flesh wound compared with the potentially seismic impact of actual sequestration, analysts say the health of the local economy has taken a hit thanks to the whims of lawmakers with little appetite for compromise.
|Sagging CEO confidence
|A report released Wednesday by the D.C.-based Business Roundtable shows the threat of the fiscal cliff has caused a major drop in the number of larger companies that plan to hire more employees. Among the survey's findings:
|• Just 29 percent of Roundtable's member CEOs expect to increase hiring over the next six months, compared with 36 percent in June and 52 percent in early 2011.
|• 30 percent of CEOs anticipate increased spending on capital goods, for a 13 percent drop in just three months.
|• 58 percent of CEOs expect sales to increase over the next six months, compared with 75 percent in June.
|• The Roundtable's total CEO Economic Outlook Index dropped to 66 -- the lowest such measurement since the third quarter of 2009.
"The threat of sequestration has inflicted a slowdown on job growth in the region," said Daraius Irani, an economist at Towson University. "Companies aren't hiring because they don't know what's going to happen. Congress left town without making a decision, which only adds to all the uncertainty."
Under a deal made between President Obama's administration and Congress to raise the nation's borrowing capacity last year, leaders agreed to implement $1.2 trillion in automatic, across-the-board reductions over the next decade if a broader debt reduction solution is not achieved. Nearly half of those cuts would come from the defense budget, a cash cow for the Washington region, particularly Northern Virginia.
But it's the trickle-down effect that is most concerning locally, as the lack of a blueprint from Congress is forcing area businesses and residents to adjust their purchasing habits now.
"Quite frankly, the lack of a decision is becoming excruciating," said Wendy Maurer, who works in program management and business development at Technology Associates, an information technology firm in Stafford. "I've had employees and potential employees tell me, 'I want to buy a house but don't know if I can until we get out of this quagmire.' Everything is being saved."
Maurer added that with possible sequestration, stopgap funding measures to keep the government operating have limited the length of contracts and forced her company to hold back on major personnel and investment decisions.
Small businesses aren't alone on that business path.
Robert Stevens, chairman and CEO of Bethesda's Lockheed Martin, recently told lawmakers that the world's largest defense contractor had slowed employee recruitment, not wanting to bring on new hires if it just has to deliver them pink slips in a few months.
But even some in the defense industry concede that cutbacks are needed if the government wants to get serious about stemming the tide of red ink that has contributed to a more than $16 trillion deficit.
John S. Langford, president and CEO of Manassas-based Aurora Flight Sciences Corp., highlighted the U2, which is a decades-old aircraft still in place -- instead of a modern, unmanned plane -- because of cozy relations among contractors, the Pentagon and Congress.
"Any business, any enterprise that has had 10 years of unconstrained growth has some places to cut -- and that's a perfect example," he said.
But regardless of the extent of cuts, employers say they just want lawmakers to act so they can adapt accordingly.
"It all boils down to an environment of uncertainty," said Stephen Fuller, director of the George Mason University Center for Regional Analysis. "The contractors are being very careful, and it shows up in a very slow growth in professional and business services -- there's not enough job growth to fill the new office space."
Or as Gerald Gordon, president and CEO of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, put it: "The unemployment rate here is less than 4 percent, but the vacancy rate is about 16 percent. Usually, it's about 6 to 10 percent. Nobody's moving; nobody's expanding."

RSPCA Cymru is calling on members of the public to urge their councils to ban sky lanterns as they can cause harm to wildlife and livestock. Sky lanterns (also known as Chinese lanterns) are causing animals significant injuries that lead to them suffering slow painful death.
The charity advises against the use of sky lanterns and that harmless alternatives should be sought to avoid these terrible incidents.
RSPCA Cymru is joined by farming unions, fire and rescue services and the chief veterinary
officer for Wales in warning of the dangers associated with lantern use and their sale has already been banned in countries such as Austria, Germany, and Malta.
Head of external affairs for RSPCA Cymru, Claire Lawson, said: "We would urge people to be mindful of the risks to people, animals and the environment that sky lanterns pose and refrain from using them.
"We are pleased to see that four local authorities have agreed on a ban, but we would like to see more. We are urging people to contact their councils to push for the ban.
"Ultimately we would like to see the Welsh Government ban the use of sky lanterns across the whole of Wales."
To support the campaign and get your local council to ban the use of the sky lanterns on council land visit http://www.rspca.org.uk/getinvolved/campaign/skylanterns.

2012 was the "Year of" for many sneaker models and categories, like 'Woven' and the Air Footscape Woven Chukka. Spring 2013 will hold some new colorways with this unique dotted-print strand, seen here in this 'Red Suede' pair with a beige-colored woven construction. Expect a yellow suede version to appear as well, but in the meantime, peep the red suede version below and we'll update you with more Footscape headlines as we begin another great year of Nike Sportswear releases!

SciPy Core is a replacement for all of Numeric (and for most of numarray. There are a few numarray packages that are not included in scipy core --- not sure if these will ever be part of the core or just add-ons --- that will have to be decided. Numeric included some basic fft, linear algebra, and random number routines. These (and a bit more) are all included in scipy core and can be referenced as scipy.fftpack scipy.linalg scipy.random If you install full scipy then scipy.fftpack and scipy.linalg become the expanded versions with expanded and better functionality based on FORTRAN interfaces. The basic versions are always available under scipy.basic.linalg and scipy.basic.fftpack if you want to only ever use the scipy core version. This approach allows you to use scipy.linalg.inv and have it map to the scipy_core version if that's all the user has installed or the full scipy version if that's what the user has installed. -Travis

Pay Differences among the Highly Paid: The Male-Female Earnings Gap in Lawyers' Salaries
This article uses very detailed information on graduates of the University of Michigan Law School to examine male-female pay differences in that population. Men and women in this population have virtually identical human capital on graduation from law school, allowing the authors to examine carefully the different impact of children and work history on men's and women's careers and earnings. Taking time from work in order to care for children reduces wages significantly, but a rich set of controls, including childcare, work history, school performance, and job setting measures, still leave one-fourth to one-third of the earnings gap unexplained.

89 SI 2.0 Prelude EGR troubles
Can anyone link me where to find a Egr Valve. Ive looked everywhere and the ones i find have a a few wires running to the top. Mine only has a metal tip for the vacuum line. I really need this part. My prelude is in great condition and only has 89xxx original miles. I dont want this car to end up getting junked due to a damn egr valve. Please help this means alot to me. I can post pics upon request
29 Answers
This image is for an Accord. Every Prelude EGR valve on every parts site has the wires you describe. Does it look like this?
How about this
Here are several, all Prelude...you gotta tell me which if any
wow. this devlish little device is capable of issuing the "dutch oven" if it wants to start giving you performance problems.
--reference the movie "pecker".
The dude made out like it was really important to him...and I put some effort in to trying to help, I figured he would respond..??
...it is just like LOVE, you put it out there...and put it out there...and perhaps you may get a little reciprocation, but acknowledgement should be a conditional to any level of meaningful interaction....else it's who knows, who cares, why bother, time. not my style man.
I appreciate the pics you posted David!
You are quite welcome I hope they helped......david
Try rockauto.com. is it possible the engine in your car was changed? Owing to the different part listing than what you have? HTH. -Jim
our pal Wayne still hasn't chimed in with his report...kinda disconcerting~
sorry ive been real busy at work and my child is teething which makes night life chaotic. This does mean a whole lot and i appreciate you taking your time to help... and criticize me for taking so long o reply >_<
^ oxygen advance? throttle control cutoff? thats what ppl have old me
another pic of egr
damn repost
The second picture looks to me like an EFE (Early Fuel Evaporation) valve. Does it mount near the exhaust manifold? If so, that's what it is. Old timers will call it a heat riser. It's job is to direct hot exhaust gases around the carburetor or throttle body (fuel injection) to prevent ice build up on the throttle plates in cool, damp weather. If it mounts on the side of the carburetor (if not fuel injected) it's your choke pull off. On a carburetor when the engine is cold the choke plate will be completely closed until the engine starts. Once started vacuum is applied to the choke pull off to slightly open the choke so the engine will run. As the
engine warms up the choke plate opens & the pull off isn't needed until the next cold start. The other pictures are definitely an EGR valve. HTH. -Jim
Do you have the DOHC or SOHC engine? If not sure what's the eighth character of your VIN? -Jim
Go to rock auto.com. Look at the EGR valve for a 1984 Prelude with the 1.8. Also, I looked this up at my job(NAPA) we show one with a vacuum hose and electric connection. Have to go back to '84 for just the vacuum hose. No listing for the SOHC engine at NAPA or rock auto though. HTH. -Jim
2 is the eight character and i cant find it on that site... im so lost there is way too many names for it. more help finding the part would be great.
take a snap with your digital camera would take the guess work out of it for us!
i did... here is another
i still have no luck finding this :/
what you mean replacement part? oooo rockauto.com
Looks like the one rockauto.com shows for an '84 model with the 1.8L. Check it out. Hope that's it! - Jim
