Main Avenue could receive federal funds
The Park Rapids City Council is optimistic the city can receive federal stimulus money to help with the Main Avenue street and utility reconstruction project.
The council decided Thursday night to order improvement and preparation of complete plans for phase one of the project and a design survey of phase two so it can be "shovel ready" in case federal money comes.
Action on the project was put on hold in December after the city heard that Local Government Aid would be cut. It was revisited Thursday night when the council heard about a possible funding opportunity.
"There is a chance that we could receive some stimulus money, especially if it comes down through the Headwaters Regional Development Commission," said city administrator Bill Smith.
City engineer Gary Nansen said the next step in phase one of the two-part proposal for Main Avenue reconstruction is to move ahead with plans and specifications.
Phase one includes Sixth Street to Industrial Park Road and the side streets including Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Eleventh. Phase two is the business portion of Main Avenue, from Highway 34 south.
A public hearing was held in November, and at that time, several citizens voiced their concerns about how to pay for assessments on the project. Phase one is estimated to cost $1,066,300 and phase two is estimated to cost $3,352,200.
"We should continue the planning, designing and details of phase two as well," Nansen said. Then, the city would be ready to go.
The design survey entails doing field survey work of the road, sidewalks and utilities, he said.
Other communities are also getting projects ready in hopes of getting some of the stimulus money, Nansen said.
He suggested that the downtown revitalization committee that had been discussing streetscapes for phase two and the impact the project would have on downtown businesses should start meeting again.
"I agree. Yes, get the word out. Assume that it is going to happen, if it doesn't, then we're better prepared for next year," downtown revitalization organizer Ellis Jones said.
He has urged people to write letters to legislators stressing the importance of the Main Avenue project.
Nansen said the cost of a complete design for phase one would be approximately $75,000. To do just the design survey for phase two would be approximately $33,000, he said.
Councilman Pat Mikesh said, "it sounds good but I don't think you're going to be able to afford to keep going with it this time."
If the city received stimulus money for the project, it likely wouldn't cover the entire project.
"I think under any scenario, you're likely to do special assessments as part of your project," Nansen said.
Approving the plans for the project doesn't mean the city needs to move forward with construction this summer. Plans can be updated if the project is delayed.
Does it meet the criteria for the economic stimulus money is the big question, councilman Dave W. Konshok said.
"This downtown reconstruction of all the downtown utilities and potentially streetscaping in addition to it would be a huge project for our community," said Mayor Nancy Carroll. "It would be there for a long time, very visibly ... if the politicians came to town and wanted to see how that stimulus money was used, there you are."
Also, interest could increase for business owners wanting to upgrade their facilities, she said.
"It would be a stimulus for the entire community," Carroll said. "It's risky, we're watching every dollar and I would like to see us move forward with this."
"What is the downside to doing nothing?" asked councilwoman Sue Tomte.
The utilities are old and there is a risk that a water main could break, Nansen said. That has been a risk for many years, he said.
Tomte said she wanted the city to be prepared in case stimulus money was available.
Konshok made a motion to have Nansen, with Ulteig Engineers, prepare complete plans for phase one and the design survey for phase two.
The council voted 3-1 on the motion, with Mikesh voting against the motion.

Weird, isn't it, Cel?
Interesting flower :)
I changed it after the comments were read, mariolyn. Sorry to be confusing. Thanks for stopping by!
I'm confused. The title of the puzzle is bromeliad. Or did you add it only after the comments were read?
First of all, I want to thank those who identified this as a bromeliad. I knew it wasn't an orchid, but didn't know what it was called. It is so strange looking!Thank you very much for your comments, Ank, Gene, PG, snooker, lyndee, Patti, Pat, chickie, fodus, morris, anitas and Robyn!
I used to have this one Laura - very nice photo of it - thanks! Once the plant flowers it throws off suckers & each plant only ever flowers once.
What an interesting flower.
WOW!!! Love it!
I have seen one blooming once. In a home. Thanks for the info.
Beautiful laura!
Awesome .... thanks for posting a beautiful set today Laura
Wonderful set again! Thank you Laura!
Very nice Laura...... I assume it was an orchid too.
Very lovely set, lj. You take beautiful photos.
This is a bromeliad not an orchid. They, like orchids bloom once a year and the flower lasts for several weeks. Lovely LJ.
Just Plain Gorgeous is all I can say.....thanks for posting this photo Laura appreciate such beauty :)))
Hi Laura, this is a beauty. It is a Bromeliad. The Bromeliad Aechmea Nature's Pride. We also call it Sleeve Bromeliads. It is my favorite Bromeliad. Thanks for this beautiful photo.

Conor Glassey: All right everybody – thanks for coming out for a Wednesday afternoon draft chat. The draft is just over a month
away and we all have draft fever around the office. We've put up a ton of great stuff lately, so please check out our new All-Time Draft Database, the Draft Day Memories we posted and all of the content
we did over the summer, fall and spring leading up to the big day. There's already a ton of great questions in the queue, so let's get going!
- Keith (Manchester, CT): Thanks for the chat, Conor. How concerned are you about Gerritt Cole's recent struggles and what do you think is his MLB ceiling?
Conor Glassey: This is timely question to start off with. I'm not all that concerned. Pitchers can have their ups and downs,
especially in a tough conference like the Pac-10. Cole is still showing
really great stuff, but I think the rough patch he's had can be attributed to two things: A) He doesn't command the fastball as well as he should, especially on the inner half of the plate. So, hitters can go
up there looking middle-away and it gives them that extra split second to get extended and barrel him up. And, B) all his stuff is really firm.
There's not as much separation (speed-wise) between his fastball, slider and changeup, so it almost speeds hitters' bats up. But, he's not
dominating like he should be with the stuff that he has, which is why I
don't think he should be in the discussion with guys like Prior or Strasburg, who did dominate against guys with better bats.
- Doug (Phoenix): For good reason, there's a lot of buzz around Bubba Starling. I'm just wondering if you could compare him to George Springer. Both seem to be super-high ceiling guys with a shot to be five-tool center fielders. Wouldn't George Springer - with less risk, a quicker time to the majors, and likely a lower price-tag - be a higher ranked player than Starling? Or am I missing something that makes Starling stand out so much more?
Conor Glassey: You're right, Doug, they both profile to
be five-tool center fielders. But I do like Starling more and here's why: I think he's going to be a better pure hitter and I think his upside is a little higher than Springer's. Starling has been playing three sports his whole life, while Springer has been focusing on baseball only at UConn. If Starling decides to come out as a baseball player (and I think he will), he's really going to take off because he'll be focusing on one sport for the first time in his life. Don't get
me wrong, I like Springer and I think they're close, but I like Starling more.
- Bret (Toronto): Any buzz around what the Blue Jays may do with pick #21? Or is it way too early for that?
Conor Glassey: Lots of "Who's my team going to take" questions and, yeah, it's too early for that. A lot can happen in a month on the field, not to mention signability stuff. Plus, the dominoes
can fall a bunch of different directions when you're talking about pick
21. This draft is loaded, though, so they're going to get somebody really good (and have some extra picks to play with, too).
- Mike (Chicago): Do you think CJ Cron can stick at catcher or is a 1B/DH? Will he be gone before the White Sox pick at #47?
Conor Glassey: I don't think he can stick at catcher, but that's okay because the bat will definitely play at 1B or DH. And, yes, he will be gone before the White Sox pick at 47.
- Arda (NY): When I read about Alex Meyer, it makes me think of Jays' starter Brandon Morrow. How accurate is that?
Conor Glassey: I don't think it's real accurate. They both have a spotty track record of throwing strikes in college, but it's
for different reasons. Morrow just didn't have a lot of pitching experience. Meyer is just so dang big, he's still learning how to control his delivery and keep everything in line. Meyer has bigger raw stuff than Morrow did.
- Chuck (Texas): Whose 2011 Bowman baseball card should I hunt for?
Conor Glassey: I don't collect cards too much anymore, but I do know that some of the USA Baseball guys already have some cool Bowman cards out (Starling, Lindor, Swihart, etc.) I guess if I was a big collector, I'd be excited about getting a Rendon card or Dylan Bundy.
- @Jaypers413 (IL): About how likely is it the Rays will take LHP Henry Owens at this point?
Conor Glassey: Well, like I mentioned, it's too early to start pinning players to teams for the most part. But the Rays have picks 24, 31 & 32. The Rays like HS guys, but Owens might not make it to 24. Heard he's been up to 94 lately.
- Jeff Sullivan (Belchertown MA): Is Tyler Beede a first rounder?
Conor Glassey: Certainly could be. I think he's more of
a supplemental guy in this year's draft, but he has the size and talent
teams look for and he's a Northeast arm, which teams always like because there's a belief that those guys have more in the tank, since they haven't pitched year-round since they were 12 like some of the kids
in CA, TX & FL have. It's going to come down to signability and how
much Beede wants to forgo his commitment to Vanderbilt.
- Frank (South Bend, IN): Will Sonny Gray or Dylan Bundy be there for the Cubs to take?
Conor Glassey: I think the Cubs have a much better shot
at getting Sonny Gray. Sounds like Bundy (who reportedly hit 100 a couple weeks ago) will almost certainly be gone by then.
- Ben (Iowa City, IA): When will the top 50 be updated?
Conor Glassey: We did a midseason Top 50 update a couple weeks ago. Right now we're working on getting the Top 200 guys together with scouting reports on guys likely to go in the top 100. That
will be in the next issue. Some of the feedback we got on the Midseason
Top 50 is that we were too high on Billy Flamion and Nicky Delmonico.
- Harrison (Montgomery, AL): The catcher depth tier seems to be tier 1 : Austin Hedges
Blake Swihart, Andrew Susac. Tier 2: Peter O'Brien, James McCann and maybe CJ Cron.
who is in the next tier?
Conor Glassey: Like I said before, I don't think Cron's
going to catch. I like Swihart over Hedges. Swihart's bat is special. One guy that belongs in this conversation is Brett Austin, who Nathan Rode just wrote about on our Draft Blog the other day.
- Alex (Ottawa): There's some debate about Javier
Baez going on. Just wondering what you feel his upside is, particularly
offensively, as I realize there's some questions about what position he
ends up at.
Conor Glassey: He really has a lot of upside with the bat because he generates such good bat speed. He has very strong wrists and might have the best bat speed of any high school player this year. He does have a lot of moving parts to his swing that he'll need to quiet
down, I think, but I think he's going to hit for some power – the question will be how much of a pure hitter he can be if he can't calm down a little at the plate. Defensively, I think he'll start out at shortstop, but probably wind up at second or third. He does have the tools to catch, but I think there would just be too much work to do back
there, since he hasn't done it at all this spring – and with a bat that
good, you don't want to have to wait for him to learn how to catch.
- @Jaypers413 (IL): Have you heard if any players will be attending MLB Network's studios on June 6th?
Conor Glassey: I know they're trying to get some guys out there, but nobody is confirmed as of today. It sure would be nice if
more players were willing to do that, but some of them are still playing, others are still in school – there are more obstacles because of when the draft takes place. Jim Callis will be there, though!
- Joe LeCates (Easton, MD): Any word on Austin Hedges signability in regards to his UCLA commitment? Is it going to take some big money to lure him away?
Conor Glassey: Yeah, we've been hearing all year that it's going to be tough. Obviously UCLA is a great school and a great opportunity, so when you combine that with the fact that Hedges comes from an affluent background and there are some serious questions about how much he'll hit (nobody questions the catch & throw…it's phenomenal!), there's going to be a gap between what the player wants and what teams are willing to give. I bet he goes to school and is a first rounder in three years.
- Jeff Sullivan (Belchertown MA): Where does Granden Goetzman project to go in the draft?
Conor Glassey: Probably late supplemental to second round. Great combination of size, strength and speed. Won't stay at shortstop, though – probably moves to an outfield corner.
- Mike Tangee (NorCal): Look into your crystal ball and name 5 college players likely to go high in the draft NEXT year. MT
Conor Glassey: Not a great year for college guys, but the HS class is loaded. I'll give you six and say that Jake Barrett, Deven Marrero, Kenny Diekroeger, Kevin Gausman, Mark Appel & Michael
Wacha will all go good.
- Nick (New Jersey): Is Blake Swihart playing catcher a pipe dream or does he actually have the ability to stick there? Also what is his offenseive upside?
Conor Glassey: Not a pipe dream at all. He's athletic and even though he's relatively new behind the plate, he shows good footwork and a strong arm. There are still things to iron out, sure, but
if a team is willing to wait – he'd certainly be an asset back there when you factor in what kind of hitter he is. That's the thing is that he's such a good hitter and he has experience at other positions, so teams might be tempted to move him to third base or second base to get the bat to the big leagues more quickly, ala Wil Myers.
- Sean (Kennesaw, GA): The All-Time Draft Database is amazing! Wonderful job by all the guys at BA. Thank you for all that you do.
Conor Glassey: Thanks, Sean. It will get even better, too – as we continue to make improvements to the searchability and add more signing scout information. You can definitely kill a lot of time messing around on there, huh?
- Tom Wilson (Seattle): Where do you see Redmond High School's "Big Three" going in the draft?
Conor Glassey: For those that don't know, Tom is asking
about RHP Dylan Davis, OF Michael Conforto & 3B Zach Abruzza. Tom probably didn't realize this, but I graduated from Redmond High, so I've
been following those guys closely and it sounds like they're all going to wind up in college. Davis and Conforto obviously have talent, as they
were both preseason Top 100 guys for us in the fall. But they have been
inconsistent this spring and are not being helpful to scouts out there in providing information. I bet they wind up as roommates next year in Corvallis—where Davis would play both ways—and that Abruzza, who is a good player, but doesn't have the loud tools that pro guys look for, ends up at Gonzaga.
- Mike (Kansas City): I heard this draft is pretty deep is it deep enough to find really good players in rounds 2 and 3? or because of all the compnesatory picks by the time 60 plus picks go by is the talent running dry?
Conor Glassey: It definitely won't be running dry. Talked to a scouting director today that said this is the deepest draft he can remember – better than any of the past decade, at least. It's just insanely deep. You're going to see guys drafted in the third round that could be fringe first rounders in other years. You're going to see teams getting guys throwing 95+ in the mid single-digit rounds. It's ridiculous!
- Kyle (Middletown): How high do you see Andrew Chafin being drafted? Does he have the delivery and stamina to project as a starting pitcher in pro ball?
Conor Glassey: I think he'll be a supplemental – 2nd round guy and I think he winds up in the bullpen.
- Kevin (Seattle, WA): I keep hearing that Bubba Starling has the highest upside in the draft. Why does he barely get any
mention as possibly being the #1 overall pick? How does his stock compare to that of Rendon and Cole?
Conor Glassey: In many years he might – but Rendon and Cole are no scrubs! It's a testament to them, more than it's a knock on Starling.
- Chris (Tulsa): Do you think Travis Harrison could slide into the back end of the 1st round or the supplemental 1st round?
Conor Glassey: I don't think so. The power is legit, but it has to be because he's going to probably wind up at first base.
- Tim (Fredericksburg, VA): John Heyman's column on Monday cites scouting directors claiming that Francisco Lindor has "developed tremendous power" and could go as high as #2. Has BA heard the same things about Lindor, and is he a legitimate power-hitting SS?
Conor Glassey: "Tremendous power" is hyperbole. He has some pop, for sure, because he's loaded with fast-twitch muscles and he's jacked for his size. So he's going to run into some balls. I saw him hit a really impressive HR in Jupiter this year and I love Lindor's overall package and energy, but I'd be surprised if he hits 20 HRs in the big leagues. He's going to hit a lot of doubles and triples, but I see him as more of a 10-15 HR guy, but that's fine because he can help a
team win in so many ways. He's great defensively, he has a strong arm, he's a good pure hitter and has tremendous makeup. He's the total package and there are so many other things to highlight than his power.
- Nate (Chicago): Conor, there has always been somewhat of a stigma around drafting high school rhp with the #1n overall pick. Everything I read about Dylan Bundy makes him seem like the next great thing. Off of just talent, is there a good case to be made with him being the best player available in this draft?
Conor Glassey: A high school righthander has never been
drafted first overall. And, as good as Bundy is, it's not going to happen this year, either. Again – no knock on Bundy, he could go as high
as No. 3.
- Norberto Paulino (New York): Do scouts go to HS
with the purpose of scouting a freshman or sophomore? Or do they go watch seniors and on the process make mental notes of the younger players?
Conor Glassey: They go to watch the draft-eligible guys
and will take notes on younger players, if they stand out. You can never have too much information, but the priority is always the guys available for the current year.
- Jon (San Jose): Too late to sneak a question in
about JR Graham? Heard he hit 100 as a reliever, and now seems to be used as a starter. Can he go top 2 rounds?
Conor Glassey: Yeah, I think he could go in the top 2 rounds. The questions scouts have with him are the secondary stuff and the fact that, because he's not a real big guy, he doesn't get a lot of plane on his fastball – it flattens out. But you can't ignore that arm strength.
- Bret (Toronto): What's your take on Josh Bell? The impression I get is that he has a high offensive ceiling, but almost
certainly a future LF or 1B. Those players scare me when drafting them out of high school, because they really have to become great hitters to have good value. Does Bell fit that profile? How much offensive value can he bring?
Conor Glassey: Josh Bell is a physical specimen. I don't know if you've seen pictures of him, but he's a freak. Physically,
he looks like Cameron Maybin now (and that's what a scout told me the other day, not something I came up with on my own, but I agree). He's not a burner in CF, but he's a great athlete and definitely runs well enough to play a corner outfield spot. And the bat can handle it too – he has a good approach at the plate and power from both sides, as a switch-hitter. He's definitely not the bad-body, 1B-only kind of profile, not at all.
Conor Glassey: Ok, that's all for me, folks. Back to some draft calls! Thank you very much for all the great questions. I'm sorry I couldn't get to all of them, but we'll do more draft chats as the big day gets closer. As always, you can hit me up on Twitter at @conorglassey

There's a new hacked carrier update available for iPhones running on AT&T, which delivers HD Voice, support for Release 7 HSDPA speeds on the iPhone 4S, and a number of other improvements. As always, you don't even need a jailbroken iPhone to install it.
The update comes from the guys over at iTweakiOS, who have delivered the previous hacked carrier updates for iPhones and iPads on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint. This one promises all of the improvements we've seen in the previous AT&T update, plus some new additions.
Here are the release notes:
This hack fixes the reported issue of unstable HSPA+ speeds/signal and iPad users having trouble updating and losing all signal. This hack enables, along with the previous enabled features, HD Voice for all iPhone models running on AT&T so users can now use the UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ network for HD qaulity calling on their 4S and 5. This hack also enables Release 7 HSDPA speeds for the iPhone 4S, giving it a new maximum theoretical downlink of 21Mbps, which AT&T does indeed support. Signal improvements from the previous release have not changed and are still present in this release along with unthrottled LTE and HSPA+. The previous band preferences have been altered this time around but not to prefer bands. It has been reprogrammed to do the following:
– "Optimize WCDMA" which will deliver the fastest available speeds without hindering the towers and other users on it.
– "Set LTE near threshold" which will also deliver the fastest available speeds that the LTE towers support.
You can download the hacked update and get instructions on how to install it from iTweakiOS — just click the source link below.

9 Claims. (c1. ire-1) This invention relates to systems for reproducing sounds either directly from sound pick-up devices or from records of the original sounds. More particularly, the invention relates to "stereophonic" systems which produce in the minds of the listeners the illusion of spatial distribution oi the sounds being reproduced.
Systems capable of producing this type of illusion in general involve the use of two or more spaced sound 'pick-up devices, a number of spaced receivers andseparate circuits connecting the pickups with the receivers as fully explained 'in an article by J. C. Steinberg and 'W. B. Snow in Electrical Engineering, January 1934. Such systems are intended Iorand adapted to the purpose of reproducing sounds with a spatial distribution similar to that of the original sounds. The 'important factors determining the lateral and the fore and aft distribution are fully explained in the article referred to above and may be briefly summarized as follows:
With a system of this type having two identical channels, the apparent lateral position between the loud-speakers of the sounds corresponding to an actual sound source between the microphones is largely fixed by the relative strengths of the direct sound waves at the two microphones whereas the fore and aft position of the reproduced sounds is largely determined by the ratio oi the direct" sound to the average reverberant sound" at the microphone nearest the actual sound source. In general rooms suitable for sound pick-up purposes have an appreciable reverberation time so that each sound wave is reflected and re-reflectedfrom opposite walls a sufficient number of times to produce substantially the same intensity of reverberant sound throughout the room. The eflective in en e direct sound, however, incre rapidly as the source moves toward the pic -up point, that when the proportion of direct sound in the output of a loud-speaker is increased, the listener hears the sound smirce as approaching the loudspeaker and when the proportion oi! direct sound is decreased, the sound source seems to re'cede from the loud-speaker. The object of this invention is to reproduce sounds stereophonically with any desired spatial distribution irrespective oi the location or the spatial distribution oi! the original sounds.
According to the invention, the direct sound energy and the reverberant sound energy supplied to a single or several spaced receivers are both arbitrarily varied to produce the desired motion or distribution of the virtual sources of reproduced sounds. At least two microphones are required. In order to produce apparent motion in the reproduction of a stationary sound source, the microphones are spaced with the source relatively close to one microphone and relatively .distant from the other. The output of the close microphone will be largely produced by direct sound waves and the output of the distant microphone, for most rooms, will be largely produced by reflected or reverberant sound so that with proper mixing circuits the proportion of direct to reverberant energy supplied to each receiver and the relative amount of direct sound energy supplied to the several receivers can be varied at will. In this way, a stationary sound source can be reproduced as a moving source or amovlng source can be reproduced as a stationary source or given any desired apparent motion in the reproduction irrespective of the direction of movement of the actual sound source.
In one embodiment of the invention, ,two'
spaced pick-ups and two spaced receivers are used. Each pick-up is connected through a separate volume control and unilaterally transmitting device such as a vacuum tube amplifier to each of the receivers. The sound source is positioned, or moves in the vicinity 01 one 01. the microphones and the several volume controls are operated in the combinations and sequences necessary to produce the desired effects.
Alternatively, in a multi-channel stereophonic system of the type described by Steinberg and Snow, each channel may be provided with an independent source of reverberant sound energy such as a second microphone disposed at a greater distance from the producing stage than the main pick-up and connected to the channel through a separate amplifier and volume controlling device. With this system, the ratio of direct'to reverberant energy can be varied at will in each channel independently of the location of the sound source on the producing stage.
According to a further feature of the inven- ,-tion, each lateral channel is provided with a second loud-speaker disposed beyond the lateral, 45
limit of the reproducing stage and means are provided for fading between the two loud-speakers oi. these lateral channels for localizing sounds DEM.
In the foregoing discussion immediate reproduction of the original sounds is assumed but it will be obvious that the receivers can be re-' placed by synchronised recording devicesot any suitabletypesothatrecordsmaybemadefor subsequent use to produce the same sound distribution. The general procedure outlined above can be used t produce many varied and fantastic effects, some of which would be physically impossible to achieve by the actual motion of a real sound source on the producing stage. The reproduction of a large orchestra can be compressed into any desired area, one side of the orchestra or both sides simultaneously can be made to appear to move to the other side and by using an additional distant microphone or by moving one of the microphones in the manner more fully explained below while manipulating the volume controls, the whole orchestra will appear to rotate as a unit. The utility of the invention is not confined to making a sound source appear to perambulate. For example, a large variety of organ eifects are obtained by using a distant set of pipes antiphonally and for other purposes. Such eiiects can readily be simulated according to the invention with any type of sound source by fading the amplifiers between the near and distant microphones.
The invention may be used as an independent system' to produce sound effects for dramatic purposes, or as an adjunct to other sound rerecords of the sounds are made'for subsequent reproduction;
Fig. 4 is an alternative system for direct stereophonic reproduction in which each channel has its own source of both direct and reverberant sound energy; I
Figs. 5 and 6 togethershow a system of the type shown in Fig. 4 but in which the sounds are recorded for'subsequent reproduction and Fig. 7 shows a system which combines the advantages of the systems of Figs. 1 and 4.
In the system of Fig. 1 two sound pick-ups or microphones Ill and II- spaced in front of the sound producing area or dummy stage 12 are connected by separate transmission lines I3, l4 to-two loud-speakers i5, llivcorrespondingly located near the front of the reproducing stage II. Each line is provided with a suitable power amplifier 1 8 and particularly in cases where the lines are long, as for example, when the two stages are in diiferent cities, receiving amplifiers [9 are also used. The pick-ups are connected to the corresponding amplifiers l8 through preliminary amplifiers 20, 2| and volume controlling devices 22, 23. Each pick-up is also connected to the other line through similar preliminary amplifiers 24, 25. and volume controls 26,.
will be readily understood that this system is capable of making the reproduced sound trace a path on the reproducing stage different from the path of the actual source on the dummy stage. Assume, for example, that a singer is standing close to the left-hand microphone l0 and therefore at some distance from the right-hand microphone II. The output currents of the mlcrophone l0 will be of a distinctly close-up" character, that is to say, the direct sound waves will be relatively stronger than the reflected sound waves reaching the microphone. By the use of volume controls 22 and 26 these currents representing close-up sound can be admitted into the lines i3 and i4 and the loud-speakers I5 and IS on the stage I! in any desired proportions. Likewise, the currents in the output circuit ofthe microphone H are distinctly distant" in characteristic due to the relatively great distance between this microphone and the singer. By the use of volume controls 21 and 23 this distant sound energy can be admitted into the two channels and loud-speakers in any desired pro portions; When the volume controls are adjusted so that a large proportion of direct sound energy is fed into the line [3 the voice on the stage I 1 appears to be located close to the speaker i 5. As more of this direct sound energy is admitted into the line H the apparent source moves away from the speaker I! toward the speaker IS, in the direct ratio to the proportions of the direct sound admitted to each line. After the voice is brought to the center of the stage by admitting equal amounts of energy into each line thevolume level in line I2 is gradually reduced and the voice continues to move to the right and reaches a point close to the speaker ii when the energy in line i3 is very low in proportion to the energy in line H. Similarly, the voice can be made to move across the rear of the stage. If an amount of distant sound energy is admited only into the line H the voice appears to be at the rear of the stage I! behind the loudspeaker IG and progresses toward the left rear of the stage as more of this distant sound energy is admitted into the line l3. After the sound source has reached the rear center stage position the energy level in the li e I 4 is gradually reduced to zero as before and the source thereupon moves to a position directly behind the loud-speaker l5. The sound source may then be moved forward to its starting position by introducing into the line It! close-up sound energy from the microphone I 0 and at the same time decreasing the "distant energy in this line from the microphone l l.
In the above experiment the simplest procedure for obtaining apparent motion is set forth, but a. better stereophonic illusion will be obtained by manipulating the volume controls in pairs and in this way the total volume of reproduced sound may be kept at a natural level. When it is necessary to increase either the close-up or the distant"'energy in one line a corresponding decrease may be made in the amount of energy of the same type introduced into the other line. Similarly, reductions in the energy level in one line may be compensated by increases in the other line within the limits of the desired variations in scribed area may be readily determined by experiment.
The problem becomes somewhat more complex when a multiple sound source such as an orchestra extending across the whole stage is used. In such a case, although there will be "close-up and amplifiers II and 28 with, volume controls 28 and 21 respectively. This procedure may be. simplified by gauging the controls so that the two controls on each pick-up are operated in pairs. If rotating contact potentiometers are used, for example, the pair may be connected in opposite polarity and operated by the same shaft. When only one of the pairs of controls is so operated the orchestra will appear to move into'a'small area at one side of the stage'but if both pairs are operated together the whole orchestra will appear to have been pulled through itself" from left to right and from right to left.
Other interesting and fantastic effects may be obtained by moving one or both of the microphones with respect to the sound source while the controls are being manipulated. For example, the whole orchestra can be made to appear to rotate as a unit in the following manner. The volume controls are manipulated in the manner just described to pull the orchestra through itself" and then the process is reversed to restore the players to their original relative location. For a clockwise rotation of the orchestra the pickup I0 is moved slowly forward away from the orchestraand the pick-up H is moved backward 45 closer to the orchestra during the first quarter of the rotation during which the whole orchestra is being concentrated along the center line of the stage. By this procedure the sound from the left side of the orchestra as received by the pick-up Ill gradually changes its characteristics from closeup" to distant" thereby pulling its sound image to the rear of the reproducing stage while it is being shifted laterally with the controls. At the same time the sound from the right side of the orchestra as received-by the pick-up llbecomes more and more predominantly close-up" in char- .acteristic thereby pulling its sound image forward on the reproducing stage. When the microphones have been moved to their extreme positions as determined by experiment and the controls are in the mid-positions the orchestra will appear to have been rotated-through 90 degrees. For the second quarter of rotation the microphones are then moved slowly back to their original positions while the volume controls are being operated to their limiting positions in which, as already stated, the outputs of amplifiers I. and 2| attenuated about 25 decibels and the outputs of amplifiers and 21 are restored from about 25 decibels to full normal level. The. orchestra has then been moved by rotation through 180 degrees restoring the volume controls to their original position and simultaneously moving the pick-ups in reverse manner from that already described. That is, during the third of the quarter the pickup II is moved slowly backward toward the orchestra and the pick-up H is moved forward.
away from the orchestra while the controls are returned half way from their limiting position toward their original positions. This places the sound image of the orchestra along the center line of the stage. The last quarter of rotation is obtained by gradually restoring the pick-ups and controls to their original positions.
In order to keep the virtual image of a large orchestra-within the confines of a reproducing stage of limited depth during the rotating movement it may sometimes be desirable to rotate only one-half of the orchestra and move the other laterally across the front of the stage. This is readily accomplished by moving only one microphone (in the case described, microphone ll) during the operation of the controls.
The fore and aft locations of the microphone with respect to the sound source and the distance through which they must be moved to produce the eifect described with best results will, of course, depend upon a number of factors such as the reverberation time of the producing and reproducing studios and the size of the sound source.
Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings show respectively recording and reproducing systems by means of which records may be made and reproduced to give any of the effects obtainable with the system of Fig. 1. The apparatus of Fig. .2 and the manner of its' operation are identical with the system of Fig. 1 except that in Fig. 2 the output of the amplifiers ll, 3| is fed to recorders 32, 33 cooperating with the record blanks 34, 35 synchronously driven by the motor 36. For reproduction, these records or pressings 31, 38 made therefrom are then synchronously rotated by the motor 39 of Fig. 3 and the reproducers 40, ll deliver their outputs to amplifiers l2, l3 and loudspeakers 44, 45 which reproduce the sound efiects' in the same'manner as in Fig. 1. For convenience in reproducing and to insure exact synchronism of the reproduced sounds it may be desirable in some cases to record the sound energy of both channels on a single record member, as for example, in concentric spirals of the same phonograph record as shown in Patent 1,508,432 to Wier, -September 16, 1924.-
The system of Fig. 4 may be used instead of the system of Fig. 1 for reproducing sound effects simultaneously with their production upon a more or less remote "dummy stage. In this case, however, each of the three channels 5|, 52
and i3 is provided with a "close-up microphone and a "distant microphone each of which is connected to the channel through a separate ampli fier and volume controlling device. With a system of this type in which the proportion of direct to reverberant energy in each channel may be controlled independently of the other channels much better perspective of stereophonic effects may be obtained; For some purposes it may be desirable to operate each of the six volume controls N to 6! separately but in other cases the *two controls on each channel may be operated together as described in connection with the system of Fig. l. The provision of the ce. .tcr channel in this system while making it somewhat more 7 complex gives more accurate control of the sound distribution at center stage particularly in a fore and aft sense.
with this system it will be evident that since each channel has its own sourceof reverberant sound no movement of the main microphones 50 to 52 is necessary to produce rotational or other fore and aft movements. For example, in rotating an orchestra instead of moving the microphone 55 farther away the controls 54 and 55 are operated to fade-infa greater proportion of the distant sound energy from the microphone 53 and instead of moving microphone 52 closer to the orchestra controls 55 and 59 are operated to fade-in more energy from microphone 52 and less from the microphone 55. I
In addition to the main-loud-speakers 55 and 55 the outer channels 5i and 53 may be provided with auxiliary loud-speakers 59 and located some distance offstage and volume controls II and I2, and 13 and 14. These auxiliary loud-speakersare particularly useful in cases where bands or other sound sources are to be reproduced as approaching or receding from the stage in a lateral sense. If, for example, a band on a dummy, stage is to be reproduced as moving across the stage 15 from left to right distant sound energy from microphone 53 may be admitted to channel 5i and the volume control ll adjusted to reproduce mainly by means of the loud-speaker 59. While gradually increasing the volume level, control 54 is operated to bring in more direct sound and controls H and 12 are operated to fade-over to the loudspeaker 55. When the band appears to have reached the stage it is moved across it with the controls 54 to 59 in the manner already described. It is then moved ofistage to the right by gradually fading over to loud-speaker ill by means of the controls 13 and 14, the volume is then gradually reduced and an increasing proportion of distant sound is admitted to channel 53 and the band passes out of hearing to the right of the stage.
In Figs. 5 and 6 the system of Fig. 4 is shown as a recording and reproducing system in'which the recorders 80, 8| and 52 make three sound tracks on the moving film 83. A corresponding print 54 (Fig. 6) is then reproduced by the reproducers 55, 85 and 81 which deliver their outputs to the loudspeakers for reproduction of the sounds in the same manner as in Fig. 4.
InFig. 7 the interfading feature of Fig. 1 is combined with the close and distant microphone feature of Fig. 4 to provide a very flexible system which is particularly useful in cases where the sound source covers a large area as in the case of an orchestra or where several spaced sources are producing sounds at the same time as in the case of actors speaking simultaneously. The system of Fig. 1 is quite satisfactory when only a single actor is speaking near one microphone but when a second actor speaks ne r theotlie microphone the voices cannot rea ly be locali d independently of each other. The system of Fig. 4 by virtue of the two microphones in each channel is not subject to this limitation but is not as well adapted to producing apparent lateral movements as the interfading circuit of Fig. 1.
In the combined system of Fig. 7 the two channels 90 and 9i may terminate in loud-speakers as shown or the system may be used for making sound records as in the systems already described. In view of foregoing discussion it will be apparent that energy may be introduced into channel 95 from the microphones 50 and 53 in any desired proportions by means of the controls 54 and 55 or from microphones 52 and 55 by means of controls 58 and 59 and the interfading control 95. Channel 9| may be controlled in a similar manner by means of the microphone controls and the interiading control 92.
A further feature of the invention shown in this system but equally applicable to any oi'the others described comprises loud-speakers 94 and 95 disposed above the loud-speakers 55 and 55, respectively, and connected to the channels through controls 95 and 91. By interi'ading between the speakers 94 and 55 by controls 95 and 12 and between the speakers 95 and 55 by controls 91 and 13 the sounds may be reproduced on any desired plane above the stage up to the height of the upper loud-speakers. For best operation, however, the vertical spacing of the loud-speakers should not be greatly in excess of the spacing of speakers 55 and 58. By operating only one set of these controls the plane of the reproduction may also be inclined in either direction at any desired elevation.
It will be understood that the various systems described are capable of wide variety of uses other than those mentioned by way of illustration and that the invention is intended to be limited only by .thescope of the foliowingclaims,

The difference is that the PC is a generic business/industrial platform, as well as a household appliance. The PC is not mainly a fashionable toy with deliberately short life span. Any new and incompatible interface becomes a nuisance in many PC applications, whereas in devices that are expected to become refuse within a couple of years, the fancy new and incompatible interface is a plus. I know that trade journalists have been throwing about the term "post PC world." But like most of these glib phrases, it doesn't make any sense. PCs are becoming embedded into just about anything. They aren't going away anytime soon. > The markets for Macbook Pro are driven by performance and the "elegance" of > the design. The accent is on fashion statement, we agree.

Successful organ-donor drive inspires others
Successful organ-donor plea prompts copycats
Pleas on Internet spark medical ethics concern
Published 5:30 am, Thursday, September 16, 2004
Now, Barrington — who has been waiting three years for a transplant — has followed Krampitz's example with his own Web site.
"I feel like such a fool for the contempt I showed the Krampitzes and others and then let my daughter do the same," Barrington, who lives near San Antonio, said via e-mail last week. "But I couldn't say no ... Please forgive me."
Barrington's Web site, www.EveretNeedsALiver.com, is one example of what transplant surgeons and ethicists feared after the Krampitz effort received international attention — and succeeded. At least two more people are using personal Web sites to get livers; another is seeking a kidney.
"The level of chaos that will ensue if directed donation and advertising efforts take off is hard to describe," Arthur Caplan, a leading medical ethicist at the University of Pennsylvania, said in an e-mail interview. Caplan wants Congress or the United Network for Organ Sharing — the organization that sets rules for organ donation and maintains the national waiting list — to disallow directed donations, in which a donor family specifies the recipient, except among family members. Every other donation, he said, should pass through the local organ-distribution agency.
Caplan acknowledges personal stories may ease the organ shortage by letting the public see the real faces behind the waiting-list numbers. However, Caplan said those pleas should address the larger issue and say, "Give to 'us', not give to 'me.' "
Barrington's Web site depicts the 47-year-old in a hospital bed in his home. His face is swollen from health complications related to hepatitis C.
"I feel so helpless," his daughter, Delayna, says on the Web site. "I just had to do something for him so we arranged for this Web site hoping someone would remember my father and help save him if they could."
Another site, michaelneedsaliver.com, features the plight of Michael Corder, 31, of Arkansas, who is in intensive care in Memphis, Tenn. Photos show Corder, who suffers cirrhosis of the liver, bedridden and on oxygen, his skin yellowed by jaundice. His sister, Jolynn Smith, said she got the idea for the site from the Krampitzes but hasn't gotten any responses yet. Doctors say he's too ill for a transplant.
Kenneedsaliver.com tells the story of Ken Carter, a husband and father of two teenagers. Carter lives in California and is sick with hepatitis C. A relative said Wednesday that Carter's doctor doesn't expect him to survive more than 30 days. His Web site also emphasizes the importance of organ donation in general and provides several links for general information.
Donationforcynthia.com tells the story of Cynthia Gallardo, 25, who lives in California and needs a kidney transplant but has an uncommon blood type, B positive. Created before the Krampitz campaign, the Web site provides links to other people in similar situations.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Australia, July 15 (UPI) -- The Land-Based Test Site at BAE Systems in Williamstown, Australia, for the Landing Helicopter Dock project is complete.
BAE Systems, Saab and L-3 Communications completed the installation as a key milestone in the development of the integrated combat and communications systems.
Testing in the LBTS will start immediately with final testing concluding next year.
"The major activity of the test site is risk mitigation of equipment integration prior to installation on the ship," Director BAE Systems Maritime Business Unit Harry Bradford said. "The equipment will undergo significant testing to ensure all systems, including those supplied by several sensor manufacturers, are properly integrated and working effectively.
"The Line Replaceable Units installed in the Land-Based Test Site are to be installed on the second LHD with the first ship receiving new equipment.
"While not fully operational, we are seeing real benefits from the test site as the team has discovered some issues that will require system modification and these are much less costly when uncovered early in the program," he said.
L-3 has supplied a large and complex communications suite while Saab has installed the Combat Direction System, which will provide the core command-and-control system for the ship.
The CDS is based on a derivative of Saab's latest 9LV Mk 3E Combat Management System implemented on the ANZAC-class frigates, with added capability for helicopter and watercraft control for the LHD's amphibious warfare roles.
Design work began on the test site in 2008 with outfitting and installation of equipment having commenced in the latter half of last year. The first ship is to arrive in August 2012.

Hilary visited Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans yesterday for the anniversary of the storm. One of her stops was at a school where she met many kids and passed out toys. It's so cute how excited they are to see Hilary! She also helps out lots with USA Harvest, a "food-raiser" that donates meals to hurricane victims.

text: I've seen many questions posted on public message boards and mailing list archives about Linux support for the Acard AEC6280 PCI card / ATP-865 Ultra ATA 133 controller chip, possibly marked: Vendor: 0x1191 Device ID: 0x0009 but I haven't seen support for it expressed anywhere, particularly not in response to those public questions. I ran a Debian current (3.0r1) boot cd on a Macintosh B/W G3 last night, and neither of the installation kernels finds the controller or the disk attached to it. If I could find something like an acard.o somewhere, I could probably put it on an ext2 partition on an ATA Flash disk, boot from the first Debian cd-rom and use insmod to have the controller and disk recognised, and then mount a couple of Linux partitions on the hdd to get the Debian installation going, but for now, there seems to be no support at all from the 2.4.x kernel in Debian 3.0r1. Was this issue ever resolved? Jeroen

Each and every one of them focusses on MCA students and on their placements.
You people may have forgotten but i haven't,that this is primarily a college of engineering.
Are you people interested in placing your fourth year B.TECH students or not? OR you are just concerned with MCA students being placed?
Please give me some reply.

With an eye to openness on budget, revaluation and property tax questions, the Board of Finance held a public information session last Wednesday, Jan. 16, at the Wilton Library. A sparse group, only six residents, attended.
The finance panel presented a slide show that posed such questions as, What is the forecasted impact of the revaluation on the 2014 mill rate and individual property taxes?
According to the Board of Finance, "preliminary revaluation results indicate an overall decline in real property valuation of 18% and 20% for residential property and 9% for commercial property."
To estimate whether taxes increase or decrease because of revaluation, taxpayers should determine "how their valuation change compares to the overall valuation decline."
The mill rate is poised for an inevitable increase, "yet it is too early to determine the rate," according to the Board of Finance.
The board also raised the subject, What are the actual results of the budgets for fiscal years 2012 and 2013?
The news is mixed. "Fiscal year 2012 resulted in a surplus of approximately $5,700,000, primarily due to Board of Education and Board of Selectmen savings, and additional revenue."
When the fiscal year came to close on June 30 last year, "there was approximately $4,000,000 in undesignated funds available to reduce budgets for fiscal year 2014 and beyond," the Board of Finance said.
Meanwhile, although the Board of Selectmen expects "to be on budget for fiscal year 2013, the Board of Education is forecasting approximately $1 million in overspending for special education." This is due to "an increase in students requiring outside placement and seeking arbitration."
To offset the shortfall, "the Board of Education has adopted a spending freeze in other areas," the Board of Finance said.
So how are property taxes calculated?
First, "the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Education develop and submit expenses and revenues and other components of their fiscal year 2014 budgets," according to the Board of Finance.
Next, "the Board of Finance finalizes a budget and a mill rate which is submitted to the taxpayers" for their annual Town Meeting vote in the spring. "The mill rate is applied to the individual taxpayer's property assessment" to calculate his or her property taxes.
The Board of Finance is asking for steady 1.75% budget increases from the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Education for the next three years. Based on "debt service, revenues, tax relief, and fund balance adjustment," the Board of Finance is projecting the mill rate will increase 1.346% in fiscal year 2014, 2.704% in fiscal year 2015, and 3.20% in fiscal year 2016.
This year's mill rate increase was 0.986%.
The panel also focused on the grand list, which is expected to decline, according to Board of Finance Chair Warren Serenbetz.
The grand list is comprised of residential and commercial real and personal property. Real property is revalued every five years, while personal property is valued annually.
The grand list valuation might be described as a slow starter. "The grand list valuation date lags the mill rate start date by 21 months. For example, the 2014 mill rate is based on the grand list as of Oct. 1, 2012.

Danny Maciocia may have won the Grey Cup, but it may not be enough to win the Canadian Football League Coach of the Year honours.
An interesting little change occurred yesterday when the CFL asked the 51-member Football Reporters of Canada to submit its final selection for coach of the year, even though the final three had been announced and supposedly the winner had been decided and would be announced at a gala affair in Toronto on Feb. 23.
The trio included Maciocia, the first-year coach of the Edmonton Eskimos, Calgary Stampeders' Tom Higgins and the Argos' Mike (Pinball) Clemons, who became a finalist for the fourth consecutive year. He didn't win it the first three times and it's expected he'll be shut out again. Higgins is the frontrunner based on taking the Stamps from a league-low 4-14 record in 2004 under a different regime to an 11-7, second-place finish in the regular season.
And it's because the CFL believed there may have been some confusion that the award is based on the regular season and not the year-end result -- even though the first phase of the voting began after the Grey Cup -- that there will be another vote.
Polls on two websites -- the CFL.ca and Ticats. ca -- had Maciocia the top choice, while a third --13thman.com -- had Higgins on top.
But it will be decided by the Football Reporters of Canada, who will be asked to begin future voting once the regular season ends to avoid any confusion.

My creeping hydreanga likes walking! Can I root the cuttings when I trim them to start new plants and when is the best time to do so?
Rooting hydreanga?
Not familiar with that variety of hydrangea but the general rule with shrubs is to transplant in the fall when it's cooler and wetter. When you say "walking" I assume you mean you have buried one of the lower branches in order to make it root? Or do you mean it is sending out runners? I am going to bury one of the lower branches of my limelight hydrangea to get it to produce a rooted " baby" but itl may take until spring too see results. Early in the spring I did this with a gardenia, weighted the branch eulogy a rock, it should be ready by late august. Good luck.
If you do your propagation this way, it is called layering. You will get the best results if you just slightly nick the part that will be underground so that it has a place to send out roots from. As long as your part you want to plant has a good root system and has some top growth, you can cut it from the mother plant and pot it up anytime. Be sure to keep it watered and put it in well drained soil. A nice dose of Osmocote won't hurt, too
I have an Endless Summer Hydrangea which needs a haircut every fall--as it is in a too small area.
I just cut off all the tops of the sprawling branches, trim them to about 6", remove most of the big leaves
and cut back the top two (they are large also)--nick the lower stem in a coule of places, dip it in
some Rooting Hormone and stick it, deeply, into a 1qt. deep, 4" pot...like perennials are sold in.
They grow fresh leaves quite soon, even if they are not rooted yet. In a few weeks--they will pass the tug test
and root easily.
I leave them outside for the winter in a protected spot. Digging the pots into the bed helps too.
Nice starts to take to the next Plant Swap.
I understand that, on a Mophead Hydrangea, cutting branches back is not a good idea, as buds for the
following spring's blooms are already forming on the stems.
My neighbor has one of these, and she has done the soil layering many times.
It is a good way to start a new shrub.
Thank you so much. I will be testing several approaches to propagation and we will see next Spring. Appreciate your support. Bought several new hydrangeas called Wedding Gown. Small bush with great double white blooms.
I have a question....does hydrangea like their roots disturbed when they are transplanted, or are they fussy about it. Some plants like freeing their roots and some do not like to be touched.
The reason I am inquiring is that I am digging a new shady border. I have a couple of hydrangeas on the north side of my house, but they do not like the hot morning summer sun. (Nor do the brunneras, pulmonarias....etc.) It is just too much for them, and possibly the deer as well. I have a shady area in my fenced garden that will protect them from most of the harsh rays.
I'm curious myself. I rooted my QuickFire once by putting it in a wintersowing type container and then gave it away. But the mother plant was getting too big and not enough sun, so we moved it to the front yard. Then we rented the house to my daughter and moved half the US away! So I'm not sure how it did.
Evelyn, I have been moving hydrangeas here for about the past 3 weeks. they don't seem to mind the disturbance.
Thanks. I moved them, successfully. At least I think so. They look like they have not even been moved, no wilt or anything.

Things to Come: Technology Jobs in 2018
- January 31, 2013
- Job Hunting
- 1
In technology, the need for specific skills rises and falls for a number of reasons, some simple and others complex. And while it's never easy to predict the future, you can get a sense of who'll be in need and who should take a hard look at their career path by studying trends, talking to industry leaders and analysts, and asking tech professionals where they see things heading. We did just that, and the result is this package of stories that examines how technology and business will evolve over the next five years, and describes how it will impact your career.
The 5 Top Tech Jobs of 2018
Four areas will beat the path toward how technology jobs will look five years from now: the cloud, mobility, employees' demand to do company work on their personal devices (BYOD), and smart computing. Between now and 2018, Corporate America will rely even more on these areas than it does now because, as one observer says, "Technology is seen as a key enabler of innovation, and innovation is a key business priority." continue…
Tech Trends Hint at New Opportunities
As technology becomes baked into the very center of everything from how businesses operate to the most basic ways people live their lives, the term "digital" creeps more toward obsolescence every day. Social computing, business intelligence, cloud computing, mobility, smart computing and the spread of employees bringing their own devices to work are becoming common things. continued…
Tech Roles Will Evolve Right Along with Business Models
Why track business trends? Because the strategies and goals of IT and the company as a whole are increasingly interdependent. If anything, that dependency is going to deepen as businesses look to increase revenue while cutting costs, fattening the profit margin and using technical innovation as a competitive tool. continued…
30 Jobs Globalization Will Put at Risk
IT companies are increasingly creating a presence overseas, particularly in Asia. There, they have access to a pool of highly skilled tech workers who accept less money for what they do. The impact of that could be huge: Upwards of 56 million jobs from a variety of industries are at risk of heading offshore over the next five to 15 year. continued..
Rising Roles
- Cloud Administrator
- Project Integrator
- Dual Security Developer
- Virtual Connection Engineer
- Natural Language Voice Recognition Specialist
Evolve or Go Home
Upwards of 56 million jobs from a variety of industries are at risk of heading offshore over the next five to 15 years? According to the U.S. Census Bureau there are a little over 315 million people in the USA. Once you have subtracted retirees, children, unemployed, and indigent living on public assistance, that 56 million jobs number could be summed up in three words; National Security Threat. This kind of threat will bring about punitive tariffs on a grand scale as government tries to stop the bleeding.
I think the 56 million numbers are a WAG to begin with, but there are other trends at work that could make that kind of job loss a reality anyway. The proliferation of cheap efficient robotics has the potential to cause mass unemployment on a grand scale. We are improving the technology and bringing the prices down to the point of actually threatening the replacement of cheap foreign workers with domestic robots.
Both trends bring up a very interesting economic question. What will a jobless economy look like? Who will industry sell their product to if almost everyone is living hand to mouth? What will tax revenues be? Why bother going to college if you end up standing around a burning trash can to stay warm anyway? Interesting questions in deed!

Nice read. Lifts my spirit.
Nice read. Lifts my spirit.
Yeah I saw this too, nice read, optimistic and realistic!
How funny was the quote of how Colangelo promoted the raps to Casey?
"But the parallels to Dallas intrigued him -- "a slow-footed, non-defensive player and an aging point guard" is how Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo described it, shakily connecting dots between Andrea Bargnani-Dirk Nowitzki and Jose Calderon-Jason Kidd -- so Casey made his move"
Sad, but funny.
Wow, JV an LKL all star game MVP, that sure is credible and incredible, almost so credible as playing against a women team. Could have found better comparison, such as efficiency standings in cups, never mind, just found it ridiculous. Well, and yes, the Bargnani and Calderon comparisons were too honest, hehe.
Nice read.
Im just wondering tho why the press keeps insisting that this season is a disappointment?? I think every should know, or should i say shouldve known even before the season started that the Raptors are not playing for anything. Even Steven Harper probably knows that this team is rebuilding and should not expect anything from them.

Create a hidden item e.g. P100_SUCCESS_MSG. It should be unprotected. In a post submit computation or process, set the text of the item based on the REQUEST. For example an after submit computation based on a query:1 person found this helpful
Next, in the DML process, make the DML success message something like this:
select decode(:REQUEST, 'CREATE', 'New record created', 'SAVE', 'Record has been updated', 'DELETE', 'Record deleted') ) success_msg from dual
You can also add html tags to make the message fancy, or maybe include the primary key value or some other item from your page.
Action processed: &P100_SUCCESS_MSG.

I created application level hidden item and 'after submit' computation also on application level, works like a charm!
