When the reality series "Cops" debuted in 1989, television viewers got a behind the scenes look at the work of law enforcement officers across the United States. The simple format of police officers being followed by a camera crew turned out to be a recipe for high stakes drama, as audiences witnessed raids, high speed chases, stakeouts and domestic violence. In its raw depiction of crime and punishment, "Cops" set a high bar for the genre. While "Boston's Finest," TNT's entry into unscripted law-enforcement shows, lacks the adrenalin rush of its predecessor and offers little that's new to the genre, its emotional story lines make for some interesting moments.
Following the men and women of the Boston Police Department and narrated by actor and Boston native, Donnie Wahlberg, the series claims to be different because it includes the entire BPD. So episodes feature detectives, SWAT, patrol officers and members of the fugitive and gang units. This broad approach is not necessarily a bad idea but the creators underestimate the reach of fictional police dramas on both television and film. We've all seen enough action movies and police procedurals involving SWAT, detectives, gang units and cops that the stories on this reality series don't feel new. The fact that "Boston's Finest" is showing us real law enforcement (despite its inherent danger and drama) doesn't change this. They say reality is stranger than fiction but in this case it's not. Even if it was, this series would still feel stale because "Cops" and every show in the genre that has come after it, has already pulled back the curtain on those who serve and protect.
Where "Boston's Finest" gains some traction is when it explores the personal lives of the law enforcement officials who put themselves in harm's way for our safety. Watching a routine traffic stop, even one that turns hostile, is less interesting than watching the female officer who is the target of that hostility, track down her drug addict twin sister who she hasn't seen in two years. The idea that twins could take such different paths in life is compelling. So is the family life of a member of the fugitive unit who works the opposite shift to his wife who is also on the force. The idea that one of them may not make it home to see each other or their two young sons is far more tense than waiting to see if the plan to catch a fugitive will work.
"Boston's Finest" has evolved from the legacy left by "Cops" and other unscripted law enforcement shows but it needs to spend more time engaging with the personal stories of its subjects. These men and women are no less brave in their private lives than they are in their public ones.
"Boston's Finest" is on Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. EDT on TNT.

Not much wiggle room here in terms of routing placement. If you're off a hair, the ring is not wide enough to cover the route edges.
What can I say? What an amazing team. The technician was very helpful throughout the process of having to source the specific part for my Schecter C1+. The tapered flat rings are what I needed, and it is what I got. Fit my guitar perfectly. Thanks again guys.
Rings themselves are great. Picked up the tapered bridge and neck/flat/chrome rings. Bridge came with longer/different screws than the shallower neck ring. after one install 2 of the 4 screws for the neck ring stripped at removal. Bridge screws were fine but the small neck ring screws were made of candy or something. just an FYI
Good height for the Humbuckers.
The best replacement I've found for the stock plastic ones.
Perfect for my project and high quality.
i purchased these to replace the factory plastic ones, i got the gold to highlite the Black Guitar.
These metal rings are of the highest possible quality.
After reading the reviews I was a little worried that they wouldn't fit my new Schecter C1 Standard. But I worried for nothing! They fit perfectly and look great.
Great rings but I received 4 angled rings. I was expecting to receive 100% flat ones to mount on flat top solid bodies. Not a big deal and shipping 4 rings back to the U.S would cost more than keeping them for a later project. Good quality anyway!

Award-Winning Boston Restaurateurs Open New Restaurant "Beat Hotel" in Cambridge, MA
BOSTON, Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- This September 2013 the restaurateurs behind The Beehive (www.beehiveboston.com), the award-winning restaurant located in Boston's South End, celebrate the grand opening of their new restaurant, Beat Hotel (www.beathotel.com) in Cambridge, MA.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130919/NE83311)
Located at 13 Brattle Street in the heart of Harvard Square, Beat Hotel is a 360 capacity, hippie, bohemian American brasserie that boasts two bars, a performance stage, the work of local artists and live world-class performances nightly. The full-service upscale-casual restaurant specializes in eclectic fare with global influences featuring fresh, seasonal and wholesome dishes with appeal to carnivores and vegetarians alike from Beat Hotel's Executive Chef, Rebecca Newell, formerly of The Beehive. From appetizers such as the Ethiopian Salad with arugula, cottage cheese, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and teff cake ($11), chipotle-spiced baby back ribs ($14) and crispy tuna springrolls ($11) to fresh seafood and larger entrees such as the Earth Bowl, "a 'super natural'" selection of vegetables, whole grain pilaf ($20), the apple & bacon stuffed heritage pork loin ($24) and swordfish taco with blackbeans & Spanish rice, there is something from everyone.
In addition to its accessible menu, Beat Hotel's beverage list celebrates American spirits and American artisanal wines crafted by small batch winemakers with heart and soul. The state-of-the-art tap wine system features 24 true wines by the glass, mostly either certified biodynamic, certified organic or sustainable culture wines, all available in 2.5 oz, 5oz, or 12oz pours, in addition to a large and carefully curated wine list available by the bottle. Beat's expert bar staff also serves craft-cocktails and 6 beers on tap.
The name of the brasserie itself is inspired by a small, run-down hotel in the Latin Quarter of Paris that closed in 1963, notable chiefly as a residence for members of the Beat poetry movement of the mid-20th century. The hotel gained fame through the extended 'family' of beat writers and artists who stayed there from the late 1950s to the early 1960s in a ferment of creativity. This same ideology and creativity is carried over in the newest Beat Hotel's eclectic and artistic atmosphere. Truly a feast for all senses, Beat Hotel supports all forms or art and partnered with local artists, craftsman, and artisans to help design and make Beat Hotel a truly unique space. From the murals and columns painted by local artists, to the stage drapery and curtains crafted by a local artist, and the woodwork, such as the tables, service stations and the bar, all hand- crafted by local craftsmen, the design is a celebration of local talent.
To heighten the senses further, Beat Hotel has daily live music featuring cutting edge musicians in jazz, blues and world music, bringing eclectic artistry to Cambridge, MA every day.
Beat Hotel is open seven days a week from 5:00PM to 2:00AM Thursdays-Saturdays and 1:00AM Sundays-Wednesdays. Breakfast, lunch and brunch hours are planned in the coming weeks.

Good Music In Commercial Sighting: Davila 666 (Taco Bell)
01/08/2012 1 Comment
Puerto Rican greats Davila 666 are gaining more recognition — this time via a Taco Bell commercial!!! The song is "Obsesionao," off Tan Bajo (In The Red, 2011). This isn't their first audio commercial appearance — you all might recall that Northface one that featured "Basura". Hopefully 2012 brings some more Davila 666 to this area of the country.
Watch the commercial , listen to the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ire_n4Nz3uc&feature=youtu.be&hd=1

Partnering with Carbonite

Support for Home & Home Office Plans
Having some trouble with your Home & Home Office Backup? We can help.
Support for Small Business Plans
Let us help you get back to work quickly. Our support site will get you the answer you need.
There has been a lot of buzz the past few days about the where the online backup industry is headed and whether unlimited backup is a sustainable business model. Recent news has caused some media to speculate that it's the beginning of the end for this model which Carbonite introduced almost five years ago.
For us, the answer is simple. We started this company based on the idea that if you keep it simple and affordable, everyone will backup online. So Carbonite will continue to provide consumers with unlimited backup for a flat fee because of the simplicity it provides.
Truth be told, we do lose money on customers with large amounts of data. Our purpose is not to provide the cheapest backup solution to users with unusually large needs, but rather to keep things simple for the vast majority of people. This simplicity is what has fueled our growth: we were the 9th fastest-growing private company in the U.S. last year (#9 on the 2010 Inc. 500, #1 in technology).
To keep the experience compelling and affordable for most people, we do take some measures to allocate bandwidth fairly among our users. These are similar to what Netflix does with its DVD business and are outlined in our bandwidth allocation policy. The vast majority of our customers are not affected by this policy in any way.
I also want to point out something that is sometimes overlooked when Carbonite's online backup service is discussed in the press and blogs. Over the last year we've made our service even more useful to our customers day-to-day, not just when disaster strikes. Today Carbonite users have access to their backed up files "anytime, anywhere" from any internet-connected device thanks to our free web access and mobile applications which now support every major platform (iPhone, Android, Blackberry and soon the iPad.)
In addition to "anytime, anywhere access", we have several exciting product developments in the works for 2011 that will make the Carbonite experience more powerful, comprehensive and accessible for all types of users (home and business). And we remain committed to making backup simple and affordable. For our home and family users that means unlimited backup for a flat fee.
— Dave CEO, Carbonite
I'd be willing to bet that this is not the first "New Year's Resolution" post you've read this week.
Estimates indicate that 45% of American adults make at least one resolution each year. According to Dr. Jim Taylor's research, fewer than half of these people stick with them after six months and after a year that number declines to around ten percent. So it's no wonder that the $2.5 billion self-help industry offers no shortage of advice on how to stick with your resoluton(s).
While I applaud well-intentioned advice about "pinpointing obstacles," "setting clear goals," and the like, its hard to argue with the data that indicates that only one-in-ten adults manages to stick with their resolution for over a year.
Carbonite is here to help. Resolve yourself to backing up your irreplaceable data this year. All you have to do is sign up for Carbonite, and a couple of clicks later you're done. We automatically take care of the rest and you're protected for at least a year.
Imagine if you could sign up for a gym membership and something would automatically make sure you go every day – that's what Carbonite can do for your backup – no heavy lifting required.
Not only does Carbonite make it easy to stick to your resolution and backup your data, but we're going to make it even easier by offering two free one year subscriptions to lucky entrants in our New Years Resolution contest.
The rules are simple:
Here's an interesting map that shows the funding of new businesses by state. I was a little surprised that Massachusetts, Carbonite's home state, had more startup fundraising deals per capita than any other state in the country, including California. So what is it about Massachusetts that makes it such a hotbed of entrepreneurialism? Certainly the educational infrastructure is one thing. From my office on the 15th floor, I can see Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, Boston Univeristy, the University of Massachusetts, Boston College, Mass College of Art, Tufts, The New England Conservatory, Wellesley, Simmons, and roughly 50 other colleges. I can also see the Museum of Fine Arts with its fabulous new $250 million American Arts wing, Symphony Hall (arguably the best sounding concert hall in the United States), Jordan Hall, the Opera House, the Huntington Theater, the Performing Arts center, the Shubert Theater, the Institute of Contemporary Art, and more museums and libraries than I can count.
So what does all that have to do with startups and venture capital? A lot, in my opinion. One characteristic common among entrepreneurs is an insatiable curiosity. When you do a startup, it's like being in college, only a lot more intense. Each day is packed with new challenges and new things to learn and understand. Your life can be an intense intellectual experience, so much so that you're exhausted at the end of the day. But the people who do jobs like mine love the constant learning, the daily uncertainty, and the "making something out of nothing" quality of our work. It's like being a painter confronted with a blank canvas; instead of creating a painting, you create a company. Creative people thrive when they are surrounded by other creative people, whether they are scientists and engineers, or composers, writers, and artists. It's a sea of creativity in which to swim. That's what's special about Massachusetts and why this is such a hotbed of business creation. The kind of people who like to make something out of nothing are comfortable here, amidst the great artists, musicians, scientists, inventors, and scholars. It all fits together splendidly. Dave PS When you cut support for higher education and the arts, sooner or later it will come back to bite you in the pocketbook.
As expected, Google entered the electronic book business this week, with an online retail store that will compete with major players like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple.
These other retailers all sell e-books to be downloaded onto and read on their proprietary hardware devices (Kindle, Nook and iPad). Not only do they make money selling books, but they also make a tidy profit selling devices to read them on.
So is Google building their own eReader to support their eBooks? Not by a longshot. Google's e-books live in the cloud and are device-agnostic, and therein lies the magic. You can start reading on your iPad, continue on your office computer, and finish up on your smart phone, picking up exactly where you left off.
This is yet another example of the power of the public cloud – the world at your fingertips.
What bugs me is that most people now have better access to books of obscure 16th century Persian poetry than they do to the files on their own computers! Carbonite's trying to change that. But before you can access your files in the cloud, you have to get the files up there in the first place. That's the part that we have made totally idiot-proof and completely automatic for over a million users. It takes no effort at all – you just install Carbonite and we do the rest. Our new mobile access apps let you browse your photos, stream your music, view your office documents, and download or email virtually any file.
The personal cloud is coming.
Earlier this week, I returned from a business trip to our new office in China.
The Chinese market is very attractive to a company like Carbonite. I'm fond of saying that our target customer is anyone with a computer, a broadband connection and data that's worth protecting. China has more broadband-connected users than the US has people -- over 340 million! It's the number one broadband-connected Internet market in the world, so I am eager to establish a presence there.
We're starting by hiring developers, and we now have a small team of really great engineers. I have been thrilled with the pool of engineering talent in China. Unlike the US, where college kids want to major in Economics or Political Science and go on to Law School or get an MBA, in China the best and brightest all want to be engineers and scientists.
That said, China is a tough nut to crack. Nearly every aspect of doing business there, from UI design to payment processing to marketing partnerships is different than it is in the US. Paperwork has to be filled out with a certain color ink and a special type of pen. Purchasing anything from office space to a computer requires a bank wire transfer or cash. Moving money in and out of the country is complicated. And we're going to have to set up a data center in China, because of the "great firewall" that regulates all Internet traffic in and out of the country.
I've been going to China every ten years or so throughout my career. I can remember when the only vehicles on the streets of Beijing were bicycles and rickshaws. Now it's wall-to-wall Lexuses, BMWs and Audis. Just amazing. And construction everywhere you look. While their one-party communist government has definite drawbacks when it comes to freedom of expression, a visit to China will make it very clear that our form of government does not have a lock on economic prosperity. The people there are warm and friendly, very hard working, and well educated. If you're an Internet company, it's probably the most important place to be outside of the US. — Dave CEO, Carbonite
This week we released Carbonite Access for Android – our most feature-rich mobile app to date. If you're familiar with our iPhone and Blackberry mobile apps, you may have correctly guessed that this free application provides Carbonite subscribers with the ability to quickly and easily access all of their backed up files through their Android phone.
But that's not all it does. It also enables Carbonite users to easily share their files via email, Facebook, Picasa and many other Android-supported applications, as well as to instantly listen to their backed up music and view their backed up photos directly on their phone.
There are two big advances in the Android app. I think we're the first backup application to offer thumbnail photo browsing. We take all your backed up photos and compute thumbnails on the fly so that you can browse your pictures just as you would browse locally stored photos on your phone. We pre-cache photos so that when you're flipping from photo to photo, it's fast. The other big advance is music playback: when you click on a tune, it starts playing right away – you don't have to wait for the whole tune to download.
There are many cloud-based applications these days, such as Flickr, mp3tunes.com, Google docs, Picasa, and so forth. The key difference between those services and Carbonite Access, is that your songs, photos, documents, and other files are already backed up to the Carbonite cloud – you don't have to upload anything. And all you content is available at the touch of a finger in one place.
You're going to be hearing a lot more about the idea of a "personal cloud." In a world where you're always connected, no matter where you are, you should be able to get at any file on any of your computers. When you back up your computers with Carbonite, you are creating a "personal cloud," and now it's our job to ensure that you can access it anytime, anywhere.
Apple recently released a new version of their AppleTV. For those of you who aren't familiar with this device, I'll share a bit of history.
When Apple TV launched a little over three years ago, it was essentially an iPod, the size of a book, that you could plug into your TV. You could purchase a model with a 40GB hard drive for $299, import your music, videos and photos to it and enjoy these files through your TV and home stereo. It was an innovative product, but it never really took off the way many of Apple's products have. My instinct tells me that many people were not willing to pay $299 for a glorified 40GB hard drive they could plug into their TV.
Fast-forward three years to the current release. This version is just $99 and it now fits in the palm of your hand. How did Apple manage to deliver a more fully- featured device at 1/3 the cost just a few short years later? Easy – they dropped local storage and moved the content to the cloud.
The new apple TV streams music, videos and photos from any Apple computer in your home network, as well as a new streaming rental system that offers instant delivery of movies and TV shows both from Netflix and Apple's iTunes store. Not only is this device cheaper, smaller and easier to set-up, but rather than being limited to 40GB of local memory, the new AppleTV will play an unlimited amount of cloud-based content.
As an entrepreneur, I'm always interested to learn about any new product coming out of Cupertino – they run a product development and marketing machine out there that is the envy of the tech industry. However, I find AppleTV's evolution to be of particular interest, because I see clear parallels between they way they have leveraged the cloud to optimize their product and the way Carbonite has leveraged the cloud to optimize data backup.
Just a few years ago, when you said "backup" it implied a local external hard drive. Now, with products like Carbonite, it's all in the cloud. Like the original Apple TV, traditional backup methods are limited by storage capacity, they are complicated, expensive, and easy for the average user to mess up. Plus, consumer-grade external hard drives are failure-prone and easy to damage. Knock one off the table onto a hard floor, and all your data is gone.
With the new Apple TV, you don't need a local drive – movies stream directly over the Internet. The same thing happens with Carbonite. If you have Carbonite, all of your files are automatically in the cloud. You don't have to do a thing – it just happens. Now that your files are in the cloud, you can get to them from anywhere. Want to show your friend at work a picture that's on your home computer? No problem – Carbonite has your picture backed up and you can access it on your smartphone using one of our mobile apps. Forgot your laptop for an important presentation? No problem – just grab the powerpoint file from your Carbonite backup using any computer. We're transitioning into a whole new world where all your data lives in your "personal cloud" and is accessible anywhere on Earth, with any device. And it all happens with no effort; no wires, no hardware, no software to learn and nothing to remember other than knowing you're backed up.
Cybersecurity means a variety of things to a variety of people. Sure it includes protection against phishing scams, credit card fraud, viruses, online predators, etc. But at Carbonite, we wake up every morning thinking about keeping your irreplaceable data backed up and secure, so you can access it from anywhere and restore it to your computer when you experience that inevitable crash. What's more, Carbonite runs in the background, automatically backing up your files, so you don't have to think about it.
Security experts agree the best way to backup your data is offsite. This way if your home or office is damaged, your data is secure in a remote location. Not only does Carbonite provide this level of security, but we also encrypt your files before they leave your PC, so nobody can see your data without your password.
In honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we're giving away a free one year Carbonite subscription each Friday in October. This account is good for unlimited backup as well as remote access to all of your backed up files from any computer Web browser, iPhone or Blackberry Smartphone (Android coming soon).If the winner already is a Carbonite subscriber, we'll extend their subscription for another year.
Good luck!
Restoring lost files, photos, videos and music is now quicker and easier than ever.
Here at Carbonite HQ, we're thrilled to announce the official release of version 4.0 of our unlimited online backup service for Windows.
I like to say that Carbonite is not in the backup business – we're in the restore business – and that's what version 4.0 is all about. Our product team put a great deal of effort into further-simplifying the restore process in version 4.0. Too often in our industry, the focus falls on the initial backup process and features, but restore is where an online backup product has to deliver on its promise.
The cornerstone of this effort is 4.0's Restore Manager, which sets a new standard for getting files back. Restore Manager guides users through the process of quickly and easily restoring anything they have backed up, from a single file to all of their backed up data.
Other new features in 4.0 include:
We've gone to great lengths to provide the best restore experience in the iindustry and we believe that version 4.0 puts us in a class by ourselves when it comes to the total restore experience. Please let us know what you think.
Historically, factories needed to generate their own power. For example, a water wheel may have been built to power a factory's machinery, with the construction of the wheel and its operation and maintenance falling entirely on that business. At some point, these local generators were replaced with centralized power generation, where power was generated remotely, distributed as a utility, and priced based upon consumption. There are many reasons why this development was a good thing. Utilities presumably know how to generate power better because that is their primary business, there are economies of scale, the consumer can ramp up or down its consumption quickly and easily, and the consumer doesn't have to pay for the excess capacity that the consumer does not need.
From: The Big Switch by Nicholas Carr
I recently came across this excerpt and it got me to thinking about the data backup options available to today's businesses. Those who choose to manage their own backup are not unlike the early factory owners who generated their own power – entirely responsible for the operation and maintenance of a local backup system. Similarly, those who have migrated to an online backup solution, like Carbonite Pro, are like those factory owners who outsourced power consumption to a centralized utility service. They are free to focus on their core business operations, while only paying for the amount of backup their business consumes each month. Just as the utilities trumped local power generation, I have no doubt that cloud-based services will soon be the defacto data backup method for businesses of all sizes, worldwide.
As in the days of do-it-yourself power generation, do-it-yourself local backup carries with it inherent inefficiencies and hidden costs. Here's an example: "Harold," the owner of local company we interviewed (they are resellers for small business phone and data systems) has six computers in the office and three laptops that came and went with the sales people. In theory all the computers are backed up to a local server with an external hard drive. Once a week, Sally, the receptionist, had been taking the backup drive home where she swapped it out with the one from the previous week. In theory, if a fire destroyed their building, they could recover everything to at least where it was the previous Friday.
But there were problems: Sally would go on vacation and the backups wouldn't get swapped while she was away. The salespeople with laptops would forget to connect to the office network and start their backup processes. Nobody ever checked the actual backups to see if they were actually getting done properly and could be restored. Nobody even checked to see that the external hard drives were working. The final straw came when Sally decided to leave the company and got into a dispute with her employer over severance. She refused to return the backup drive until her demands were met.
Here are the differences between this common backup strategy and using an online backup service like Carbonite:
Keeping those water wheels working was completely irrelevant to making sweaters, or shoes, or machinery. What a pain it must have been to mill owners in the 1800s. It's no wonder that they replaced those water wheels with electric motors as soon as they could. The ones who didn't eventually went out of business.
So it will be with backup. It's just a matter of time before people recognize that they are being penny wise but pound foolish with their data assets.

Does the District Court Have Jurisdiction in Case Against Arizona?
Apart from the question of whether there exists an enumerated power in Congress to legislate in matters of immigration policy, there is the question of the legality of the lawsuit filed by the Obama administration against the State of Arizona and Governor Jan Brewer. There is evidence that the suit is proscribed by the Constitution and accordingly should be dismissed upon appropriate motion of the defendants.
Is There an Enumerated Power Over Immigration?
In Judge Susan Bolton's ruling granting the federal government partial preliminary injunction of several key provisions of Arizona's S.B. 1070, she made specific reference to the exclusivity of federal power to regulate immigration. Arizona, she held, should be prohibited from legislating in an arena that the Constitution meant to be within the zone of federal power.

Kagan, Confirmation, and the Constitution
Elena Kagan's responses to the questions put to her by the Senate are worthy of comment since she has been nominated for a significant position. A companion piece to this article will review some of her answers and check them against the standard handed down to us by our noble Founding Fathers — namely, the Constitution of the United States. Apart from that analysis, however, there is the equally compelling question of just whether this whole business of the modern nomination hearing circus was ever anticipated by the Framers or provided for by the provisions of the Constitution itself.

Jim Messina is pushing back against criticism that the group he chairs, Organizing for Action, is a special interest group for President Barack Obama that offers access to the president to top dollar donors.
And in a new op-ed on CNN.com Thursday morning, Messina also announced that OFA, which was created from the grassroots wing of the president's 2012 re-election campaign, will not "accept contributions from corporations, federal lobbyists or foreign donors."
The opinion piece from Messina, who ran Obama's re-election campaign, comes as the non profit advocacy group comes under attack for being like other organizations that take large donations from anonymous wealthy contributors and corporations.
But Messina reaffirmed that even though by law it doesn't have to, "we believe in being open and transparent. That's why every donor who gives $250 or more to this organization will be disclosed on the website with the exact amount they give on a quarterly basis."
And Messina wrote that OFA is not offering any special access to the president.
"Whether you're a volunteer or a donor, we can't and we won't guarantee access to any government officials," he wrote. "But just as the president and administration officials deliver updates on the legislative process to Americans and organizations across the ideological spectrum, there may be occasions when members of Organizing for Action are included in those updates. These are not opportunities to lobby -- they are briefings on the positions the president has taken and the status of seeing them through."

Salad is based on n-gram models, that is, data is represented as all of its substrings of length n. During training these n-grams are stored in a Bloom filter. This enables the detector to represent a large number of n-grams in little memory and still being able to efficiently access the data. Salad extends Anagram by allowing various n-gram types, a 2-class version of the detector for classification, and various model analysis modes.
MQ Channel Auto Creation Manager (MQCACM) is an MQ Channel Auto-Definition (MQ CHAD) exit which allows a company to control and restrict incoming connection requests to auto-create a channel. MQCACM is invoked when a request is received to start an undefined Receiver, Server-Connection, Cluster-Receiver, or Cluster-Sender channel. MQCACM can modify or clear the supplied default channel definition values for an instance of the channel, so there is no exit incompatibility (cross-platform or otherwise).
HEALPix is a set of scientific tools implementing the Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelation of the sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelation produces a subdivision of a spherical surface in which every single pixel covers the same surface area. HEALPix provides various programs and libraries in C, C++, Fortran, GDL/IDL, Java, and Python which facilitate discretization, simulation, processing, analysis, and visualization of data on the sphere up to very high resolution. It is the state-of-the-art program used in astronomy and cosmology to deal with massive full-sky data sets.
Dandelion is a 3D graph rendering application which can be controlled across a network. Its main purpose is to allow clear network graphs to be rendered in a window, which can be controlled by a separate application or the user. The Dandelion visualization is actually controlled by issuing simple commands to it across the network (although this could all be happening on a single machine). The Dandelion source includes a set of very simple libraries which can be incorporated into other applications and which can be used to send these commands. Libraries are included for C, C#, Java, and Python. The project was developed at Liverpool John Moores University within the PROTECT Centre.

The idea that there are 16,000 foster children in NYC alone, each as unique and precious as my foster son, each needing stable, loving homes both temporary and permanent, actually hurts me when I think about it, makes it hard to breathe.
foster care
Nothing standing between me and a foster kid except 30 hours of training and a GIANT stack of paperwork!
But am I ready to be a (temporary) mom?

10. The headquarters publishes Job Openings in Economics (JOE) seven times a year with nearly 1,500 job announcements. In 1995, JOE had about 4,000 subscribers and generated about $41,000 of revenue with a base rate of $15.00 per year ($7.50 for students, $25.00 for nonmembers and institutions). The sum of monthly printing and mailing costs was associated with the number of copies produced and the number of pages per copy for 1995 and 1996 as follows (with t-ratios in parenthesis):
print & mail = -1,129.57 + 0.875 # of copies + 76.725 pages per issue (-2.83) (7.35) (17.2)
This relationship is estimated from data on each of 14 issues over the two years and has an adjusted R-square of 0.957. During this period of time, JOE averaged 25 pages per issue (the range was from 11 to 51). With seven issues per year, this equation forecasts total printing and mailing costs of $30,019 for 4,000 copies.
JOE became available without charge in 1994 ( http://www.eco.utexas.edu/joe/ ). The JOE site generated about 25,000 hits per month in 1996, and the subscription list of the printed JOE dropped to 1,000. The print and mail relationship estimated above forecasts a cost of $11,645 for 1,000 copies. The association will move from a net revenue position of $11,000 ($41,000 - $30,019) in the all-print regime to about a zero net ($15,000 - $11,645) with print subscription sales at about 1,000. Of course, the association incurs fixed costs in producing JOE that may be similar under both regimes.
The headquarters also publishes a directory of membership biennially. The directory became available on-line at the University of Texas in 1995 and is getting about 4,600 hits per month. Because the directory comes with membership, we have no measure of the rate of decline in the demand for the print version. [BACK]
11. At some point in the future, membership ballots might be solicited and received by the Internet. [BACK]
12. The AER's reviewing process is double-blind, with author's names withheld from reviewers and reviewer's names kept from authors. When nearly all working papers are posted on the World Wide Web, the refereeing may become single-blind de facto. Anyone who wants might search the title listing in the working paper file and so identify the author. When working papers are generally accessible on the Net, they would seem to be usable in the editorial process with some saving in cost but with some loss in anonymity. [BACK]
13. The fixed costs of a print run (but not typography) would be eliminated entirely if print were abandoned completely. The fixed costs of electronic distribution would replace them in part. Presumably, the more sophisticated the electronic files submitted by authors, the lower the fixed cost of production at the publisher. [BACK]
14. Since 1995, the association has made the JEL available in CD-ROM format instead of print for the same price. The CD-ROM costs about the same to produce on the margin per subscriber as a printed issue of a large journal. The CD-ROM contains the page images of the published journal and is distributed by mail. Its advantage is not reduced cost but increased subscriber benefit: it adds the power of electronic searching. Therefore, this version is gaining popularity. More than 10% of the AEA's members opted for the CD-ROM version of JEL in 1996. [BACK]
15. The annual meeting contributed a net of about $125,000 in 1995. [BACK]
16. Assume the current library subscription rate of $140 from 5,500 subscribers yields 20% of the AEA's gross and that membership plus ads from 21,000 members yields $70, about 40%. Assume the shift to electronic distribution lowers total expenditures by 20%. Doubling the library rate to $280, if all libraries subscribed, would keep AEA revenues constant. [BACK]
17. The notion of doubling the library subscription rate in setting a rate for the campus intranet license is meant to define the association's probable revenue goals, but not to define the rate structure. The rate structure will need to be tied to something more substantial, like enrollment and total research dollars. Alternatively, the rate could be set on the basis of a forecast of the hit rate. OCLC's electronic journal service sets rates on the basis of the number of simultaneous users. The level of rates would likely be set so as to yield about double the current library print subscriptions unless other revenue is forthcoming as discussed in subsequent paragraphs. [BACK]
18. Here is part of the language the AEA prints on the copyright page: "Permission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or direct commercial advantage and that copies show this notice on the first page or initial screen of a display along with the full citation, including the name of the author." [BACK]
19. Jared Sandberg ("Cash Advances Aid Electronic Commerce," Wall Street Journal, 30 September 1996, B8) reports an offering from CyberCash, a firm working with Visa and several banks. Cybercash put the cost of a transaction between $.08 and $.31 for purchases between $.25 and $10.

"The key innovations of Millicent are its use of brokers and of scrip. Brokers take care of account management, billing, connection maintenance, and establishing accounts with vendors. Scrip is microcurrency that is only valid within the Millicent-enabled world." [BACK]

21. See Malcolm Getz, "Petabytes of Information," in Advances in Library Administration and Organization, XII (JAI Press, 1994), 203-37. Here are some features that might be added to the network working paper service: Each association member might receive a private password and encryption key. When the member submits a paper with the password and key, the service would return a time-stamped digital authentication message. This message and the posting would establish ownership to the working paper at the time of submission. The working paper service might include a more elaborate system of tagging papers, including the author's sense of the target audience, degree of originality, sophistication, empirical content, and revision number. The service might include links to comments. [BACK]

26. OCLC's Electronic Journals Online (EJO) preceded the Web-based program. With EJO, OCLC charged publishers for mounting their journals, much like printers charge for printing. This approach did not attract many publishers. The OCLC Web site ( www.OCLC.org ) lists several titles. Here is a sample of subscription rates.
The Online Journal of Current Clinic Trials from Chapman & Hall, distributed by OCLC: Institutional, $220; Individual, $120; Student (with ID), $49; Network (unlimited access), $3,000.

HANCOCK -- With almost two weeks left until Michigan Tech's Annual Winter Carnival snow statue judging, Phi Kappa Tau members are making sure they don't get behind.
With a saw in hand, they cut rough forms out of their snow blocks.
"This year we're building an upside down school bus. There's going to be a big wall back there and there will be a bunch of other slush details around it," said Scott Desotll, Phi Kappa Tau Statue Chair.
They are just one out of at least 25 groups participating in the competition. This year they had a late start because of the lack of snow. However, the recent cooler temperatures and snowfall have made the conditions a lot better to continue making their snow sculptures.
For the competition, teams will have to transform huge snow blocks into sculpted creations but without power tools. With basic tools, teams will work at least 1500 hours to build their statues. Every detail counts during judging.
"They will come around, look at the statues once, just kind of look at them, get a first impression. So what they think about the size, the uniqueness, how it looks. Then, they will come back again and give a finer detail...the whiteness of the snow, clarity, lines, and detail of work," said Steven Saliga, Blue Key Statue Chair.
The Phi Kappa Tau, are going for their sixth win.
"Starting the day before, we'll probably be out here at around 4 or 5 p.m. and work through the night to finish up," Desotll said.
Judging is set for February 7.

Best in the Business
Hofstra University's Frank G. Zarb School of Business Featured In "Best 294 Business Schools: 2012 Edition"
Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York –The Princeton Review features the Frank G. Zarb School of Business as an outstanding business school. The education services company features the school in the new 2012 edition of its book, "The Best 294 Business Schools".
According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review Senior Vice President-Publisher, "We recommend the Frank G. Zarb School of Business to readers of our book and users of our site as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA. We chose the 294 business schools in this book based on our high opinion of their academic programs and offerings, as well as our review of institutional data we collect from the schools. We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools who rate and report on their campus experiences at their schools on our survey for the book."
"It comes as no surprise to us that Zarb is featured in the Princeton Review's 294 Best Business Schools: 2012 Edition," said Dr. Patrick Socci, dean of the Frank G. Zarb School of Business. "Throughout all Zarb School of Business programs, the importance of lifelong education, ethics in business, an awareness of global issues and concern for the environment are emphasized. While pursuing their studies at our school, our students are able to participate in a wide variety of activities and cultural events on campus, as well as take advantage of the rich diversity of activities and business opportunities available on Long Island and Manhattan which makes this school not only a great place to achieve an excellent education but to also experience life."
In the book, the Princeton Review editors describe the Zarb school's offerings this way: "Hofstra University's up and coming business programs are contemporary, well-rounded, rigorous, and highly recognized in NYC." They quote from students who call the school as "entrepreneurial and innovative", "meshing technology with learning" and faculty members who "all seem to genuinely care about our wants, needs and aspirations."
The Frank G. Zarb School of Business is one of 67 schools in the book (22% of the 294) that appear on one or more of the book's ranking lists. It is ranked in the top 100 in the Academics, Professors Interesting, Professors Accessible, Career Rating and Admissions Selectivity categories.
Hofstra University
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution of higher education where more than 12,000 full and part-time students choose from undergraduate and graduate offerings in liberal arts and sciences, business, engineering, communication, education, health and human services, honors studies, a School of Law and the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.
Princeton Review: Best 294 Business Schools
The Best 294 Business Schools: 2012 Edition also has the advice on applying to business schools and funding the degree. It is one of the more than 150 Princeton Review books published by Random House. The line includes "The Best 167 Law Schools: 2012 Edition" – which also published on October 11, 2011 and has 11 ranking lists of top 10 schools largely based on surveys of students attending them. Other Princeton Review books include "The Best 168 medical Schools: 2012 Edition," plus guides to graduate school admission exams and application essays. The Princeton Review is also known for its guide to colleges and to standardized tests, its classroom and online test-prep courses, tutoring, and other education services. Headquartered in Framingham, MA, The Princeton Review is not affiliated with Princeton University, and it is not a magazine.

KICKOFF: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET
SITE: Sanford Stadium, Athens, Ga.
SERIES: LSU leads 15-12-1 (Last meeting, 2011 SEC title game, LSU 42-10).
AP RANKINGS: LSU, No. 6; Georgia, No. 9
Another week means another huge showdown for Georgia.
The Bulldogs (2-1, 1-0 SEC) will face their third top-10 ranked opponent of the season when they play No. 6 LSU on Saturday at Sanford Stadium.
"It's got to be some type of record to start off with three top-10 teams in the first four games," Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray said. "But it's been fun to play this type of game, in these atmospheres, against these teams."
Georgia lost 38-35 in their season opener at No. 3 Clemson, then bounced back to beat No. 12 South Carolina 42-30 in its SEC opener (the Gamecocks were ranked sixth at the time the two schools played).
LSU presents another big test to Georgia's young defense. The Tigers, under first-year offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, rank third in the SEC in scoring offense (43.2 points per game), fifth in pass offense (259.2 ypg) and sixth in total offense (480.2 ypg). Cameron is a former longtime NFL offensive coordinator who also served a year as an NFL head coach with the Miami Dolphins.
"We have an awful lot of respect for LSU, even more respect after watching them (beat Auburn 35-21) on TV last Saturday night," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "They look as good as ever."
Another interesting storyline involves the return of LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger to Georgia. Mettenberger had enrolled at Georgia in 2009 but lost out in the starting quarterback competition to Murray and was dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules. After a year in junior college, Mettenberger enrolled at LSU in 2011.
Mettenberger has thrived this season, ranking second in the SEC in pass efficiency (behind Murray) with 10 TDs and just one interception.
Murray recalled the quarterback competition between himself and Mettenberger in the spring of 2010.
"Every day it was really back and forth in practice," Murray said. "It was fun to watch ... it was fireworks every day at practice. He'd go out there and make a throw, and I'd make a throw. It was back and forth."
Richt said Murray was a little more polished than Mettenberger coming out of high school.
"Zach, I think maybe every year of his life he was in a different system, at least from high school to college, and even this year, I don't know if he's gone two years in a row with the same offensive coordinator," Richt said. "Zach had some catching up to do in some of those finer points. But his talent was obviously very evident. So both of those guys we felt like we could win with at Georgia."
Sixth-ranked LSU plays its first game in an opponent's home stadium this season when it plays at No. 9 Georgia on Saturday.
The Tigers (4-0) are coming off a three-game homestand that followed a season opener against TCU in Cowboys Stadium.
"You choose to come to LSU to look forward to playing in a game Between the Hedges, nationally ranked," LSU coach Les Miles said. "Our guys are looking forward to it, know it's going to be a great environment; been there before."
It'll be the first experience for eight new starters on the defense. Though some have played in hostile SEC environments, they haven't done so in the more prominent roles they have this season.
"I'd tell those guys to stay focused and have fun at the same time," senior safety Craig Loston said. "You don't want to be tense out there. It's an important game and you want to be confident in the things you've got to do and have fun at same time."
