For Derek, the band and the music was his life. It was really all he had anymore. School was but a distant memory, a dream that he could not attain. But, his music career had shot off like a rocket. So, on the balance of things, his life was...looking up? Maybe. He longed in his studio, looking over the song list one last time. His band, Deadly Plague was supposed to play alot of their old favorites, plus one more new one that they had not as of yet named. Of course, the idea for a naming contest had come up and was going to be used. So that anyone who wished to offer up a name for the song could do so.
He sighed and thought about the upcoming show. One more chance for them to make it. hit it big on the small time. Get that ever elusive record deal. He was just happy that they were headlining this time. Deadly Plague had spent far too much time in the shadows of others. It was time to get out there, make some noise, and show the world what they could do. He wore a black t=shirt with a devil making the "Keep it Metal" gesture on the front. One hand raised, the middle fingers folded down and other three making up the horns. This was complimented with jeans and a pair of black shoes. his black hair was down to his back now and his piercingly black eyes seemed to stare hauntingly at the page of music sitting in front of him. Titles were escaping him and so he threw up his hands and left it up to the audience. Then it was time to go. He grabbed his microphone and other sound equipment and followed the rest of the band out the door and loaded his stuff into the van, prepared to head to the small theater and perform later that night.
Three Hours Later
The thing that stuck out about Deadly Plague was their ink and their costumes. Each band member had specific tattoos lining their arms. Derek's mostly were his name in different languages, a dragon, a wolf, and the name of a virus that was considered deadly. Cheesy? yes. But, it was effective. He now stood on stage, dressed as the others were, in a black robe with black sandals on his feet and his hair hanging freely down on his face. He announced to the crowd that had gathered,"Tonight! We have something special for you all. We're going to play a song that none of us can come up a good name for! So, it's your turn! Give some ideas to us backstage after this show is over. We might use it, we might not. But...there's a special prize for the one that we use! He raised his hand the gesture that his shirt had displazyed ealier and listened to the rabid cheers. Derek basked in that glory.
The band then began to play the songs listed, from first and oldest to newest and last.

Written by Dominic Hood
When more than 95 percent of undergraduates at Harvard prefer to live on campus, you know there must be something attractive about the housing opportunities. From its rich history and beautiful architecture to the close-knit house communities and central location, Harvard campus housing is matched by few, if any, universities in the country. Freshmen live in the Old Yard and the Union, while upperclassmen move toward the river and out toward the quad after their first year. But regardless of location, Harvard's rooms tend to be spacious, and almost all rooms feature common rooms and private bathrooms. Many of the houses also offer features like darkrooms, music practice rooms, workout facilities, and late-night grilles.
However, all dorms have their pros and cons, and you will hear undergraduates living in the river houses complain about smaller rooms, while students in the quad complain about the long trek to classes. These complaints are rare, but they do exist. The general sentiment of the Harvard undergrad is resoundingly in favor of campus housing at Harvard. House communities are integral parts of student social life, and because of this, few would relinquish their campus housing just because of a long walk or smaller room.

The International Response to the U.S. Election
Dealing with Russia will not be easy. It is not Americas equal, but fiercely independent; it is not an ally, but not a willing adversary either. Russia, however, is critical for the 21 centurys global balance and that should not escape Obamas attention. Arab World He (Obama) has been wise not to intervene militarily in Syria. In coming months, Syrian rebels, Turkey and Gulf countries will try to lure the U.S. into the jihadist battlefields by escalating violence and chaos. Will the U.S. maintain its sobriety? Israel Similarly, if it turns out that diplomacy will fail to stop Irans nuclear ambitions and more robust steps will have to be taken, Obama will have the legitimacy, internal and international, to do this. Unlike Romney, he cannot be branded as a gung-ho warmonger. Asia Across Asia, the reaction to the elections has been muted. Asians woke up sometime ago to the reality that exceptionalism driven by narrow national political agendas is at the core of American foreign policy, and they have to endure its global implications. Europe The plain fact is: now that the sometimes appalling, occasionally entertaining, and only intermittently edifying spectacle of these U.S. elections is behind us, its time to get serious again. The crisis on both sides of the Atlantic is not just about banks or mortgages. Whats still at stake is nothing less than the resilience of our economies, the fairness of our societies, the stability of our democracies and the preservation of a free and decent international order. Europe At a different level, the defeat of Mitt Romney in the United States after that of Nicolas Sarkozy in France is proof that if you loose the centrist votes by flirting too much with the most right wing forces you run the risk of being condemned to defeat. Obamas victory may seem like a bitter pill for Sarkozy it is possible to be re-elected in times of crisis but it is definitely encouraging for Angela Merkel in Germany. If the leader of the West can make it, so can the leader of Europe. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/07/op...pagewanted=all Africa U.S. policy for Africa was barely discussed during this years presidential campaign, except for a fleeting mention of Islamic extremism in Somalia and Mali during a debate on foreign policy. The scant attention paid to Africa has left some on the continent feeling abandoned, especially by a president with African roots. http://www.voanews.com/content/afric...m/1541265.html Latin America Although the region was ignored during the campaign, the strong turnout from Hispanic voters in key states like Florida fanned hopes that politicians on both sides of the U.S. political divide will focus more on the region in years to come, including issues like immigration reform. "This is very good for Latin America," said former Mexican foreign minister Jorge Castañeda, now a professor at New York University. Guido Mantega, Brazil's Finance minister, told reporters in Brasilia, "Obama's reelection is positive for Brazil and the G-20." ------------ For Mexico in particular, the U.S. electoral results were viewed positively by many Mexicans for two of its main issues with the U.S.: immigration and the country's anti-drug war. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...515260868.html Iran Politicians who favour Obama avoided showing their support in public for fear of reprisals. However, many of them told the reformist Etemaad newspaper Obama would be a better choice for the future of Iran. China For one Chinese citizen, following the US polls had a certain voyeuristic thrill. "For us, the US presidential election is the same as watching an [adult] movie," he wrote on the popular Sina Weibo microblog service, "we cannot participate, but we are willing to stare at it." Afghanistan In Afghanistan, there had been little interest in the election, probably because most people felt US policy towards their country was already broadly fixed, with a Nato-agreed deadline of 2014 for the withdrawal of most troops. Pakistan "Everybody was saying Romney is better for Pakistan, but I said they were wrong," he said. "He was much more likely to declare war on Iran, and that would have been a disaster for Pakistan and the Middle East. OK, Obama has been more stick than carrot with Pakistan, but at least it is a stick we know." Middle East (Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, et al) Reaction in the Middle East to Obama's re-election has ranged from wariness to disappointment. Regional leaders and the Arab street were, at best, underwhelmed. There is no sense that the incumbent's second term offers the same sort of hope that his first did, four years ago. Obama's Cairo speech was a beacon on the hill that steadily dimmed throughout the past four years. With the region now in turmoil, few seem to believe the leader of the world's largest economy and most powerful military has the will to do much about the situation.Egypt's Islamist president, Mohamed Morsi, expressed the hope that a second term would "strengthen friendship" between Washington and Cairo. Aside from that, reaction, at least initially, was largely mute. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012...tions-2012-usa |

Another interesting take from India:
"I would prefer Romney and the Republicans to Obama and the Democrats on trade policies, outsourcing and economic matters," said Rahul Bajaj, chairman of the Bajaj Group industrial conglomerate. "Democrats and Obama ... think you should not outsource more. That is bad. There Romney would have been better." http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/1...8A60FC20121107 |

Complete beginner here (have been once and couldn't stand up) so we're planning to go again a few times this year.
We're heading to North Devon in April, and will be camping over-night.
We don't have any gear, so will need to hire right on the beach.
Any idea which beach we should head to? What's the difference?

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Plus some huge news this -- and a story we have covered over the past couple of years right here in America live.
The case of -- a Ronnie and pastor who was sentenced to death.
For refusing to renounce his Christian faith.
This weekend Yousef -- Connie was finally reunited with his family after spending the last three years waiting to die.
In in -- Ronnie in prison.
After a six hour hearing the 35 year old was found guilty of a lesser charge.
And was ultimately released and sentenced to just time served.
Trace Gallagher has the -- -- unbelievable Trace.
It really -- remember why this is so big negatives because under he Ronnie in law you can be executed with out warning at any time so.
This is very unexpected his release and some who -- Ronnie Lott very closely say this must've been some kind of disagreement between -- Ronnie and leadership about the degree of punishment because only the supreme leader.
I tell how many or the head of the judiciary can halt executions but under -- real law.
If the leaders disagree about the punishment that it cannot happen so.
The local court acquitted him on a -- to see or abandoning Islam.
And convicted him of evangelism among Muslims they sentenced him to three years he got credit for time served many believe -- -- that international pressure is what got him free including media pressure from shows like America lives.
The American Center for Law and Justice as we know fought very long and hard for his freedom and on this show in May.
When the pressure continues I believe you -- in -- Connie walks and so does his lawyer and here's why.
They have to do business with governments they don't do business with the United States but they do business with Brazil they do business with the EU they do business -- Germany.
This becomes a diplomatic.
Approach that has to be -- here.
Now that said pastor not a -- future is still very much a concern because two decades ago another Christian pastor.
Had he is a -- -- charge reversed.
And two days later he was murdered when he got out of jail now you can see he's with his wife daughter Connie and two children.
Exactly what he is immediate future plans.
Are still at this point a little bit unclear.
-- wow -- Trace thank you well according to human rights groups not a Connie was just one of hundreds of people in Iran serving time on faith based charges.
For the pastors release and what a moment it must've bent to hear.
That news GA.
It was I recalled my god moment because frankly -- and we weren't expecting that we're expecting new charges that was the information we're getting.
On the ground from the lawyers that new charges were expected to be brought and I think the -- is exactly correct what happened here the Ayatollah.
Made the decision that the international pressure and spotlight on this was just too much.
For the regime to bear and -- not a -- walks out of jail to his two children and his wife.
First time in 1062.
Days and I -- it.
Reiterates something here that I've said before I want to thank you and Fox News.
For covering this because it gave it a global.
Interest we were tweeting three million people a day a lot of that.
Because of the interest that you all had in this case and we won this through media -- -- this was not a situation where you you're gonna really get justice in a courtroom.
Although his lawyers got a valiant effort on his lawyers map that's for sure but the end result is he is out -- is free.
We're monitoring it very closely though from the precise reasons that we're just mention and that is there's been a history in the past where people have been released.
And then murder so we're watching that very closely.
What I mean.
What do you think was that was the straw that broke the camel's back because you know there had -- attention to this.
And yet we kept hearing that the death sentence was that was in place and then we would get false reports that he had been executed.
So what do you where -- was the ultimate you know didn't straw that broke the camel's back the Ayatollah.
I think the economic realities when you've got governments that do business with I ran like Brazil led to well we have representatives on my son Jordan and his wife went down and met with Brazilian representatives.
-- Mineta talked to the vice president -- about.
A very significant outreach from Brazil and Brazil went to.
I ran and the same thing in Russia by the way we've got an office in Moscow -- the Russian orthodox patriarch.
Was contacted as -- Russian government authorities in this became a national embarrassment and has started to be economic consequences here plus it was embarrassing.
For the Ayatollah in the regime they -- everybody around the world -- was concerned about human rights knew about Yousef and our economy.
And the end result I think that pressure is what resulted in his release in the end result of that released by the way I think.
May well bode well for others that are in a similar situation as we keep the spotlight on this persecution.
That -- minority religion specifically here Christians are having it in the -- is a difficult situation Iran is a lot of trouble in Egypt right now but this was a great victory where are.
Drove is an understatement as you could tell me mrs.
Beyond anything we anticipated this quickly I thought it might happen as I said in May.
But -- -- big was happening Saturdays that was great news.
-- -- our viewers you know that year -- very kind to give credit to other people but the American Center for Law and Justice your group is specifically dedicated to be a deal that religious freedom.
And freedom of speech are in a valuable god given rights and -- -- and -- principles successfully here.
Thanks thank you for following -- -- get really made a difference thanks for being here unbelievable we're taking your thoughts on on the Twitter let me know you think at Megyn Kelly.

Focal Professional CMS50 Studio Monitors
Focal Professional CMS50 Studio Monitors
Product Information
The design of Focal's CMS speakers combines performance and small size. That's why the box material is aluminum. The combination of substantial thickness, internal reinforcement and acoustic treatment effectively cancels the "ringing" effect often encountered in this type of cabinet.
Inverted aluminum/magnesium dome tweeter
The inverted dome tweeter is unique to Focal. It offers uniform movement of the entire dome - thanks to optimum mechanical coupling between the dome and voice coil - so you get superlative midrange and treble.
Focal Polyglass woofer
Polyglass technology, exclusive to Focal, consists of depositing a layer of hollow micro-spheres of glass onto a cellulose cone. The result is a rigidity rating that even exceeds single-skin Kevlar's. This provides perfect control of the cone, even at its highest limits, guaranteeing a resolutely accurate sound and encouraging linearity and neutrality in the midrange.
Bi-amplification: power, quality and simplicity
When it comes to amplification, the CMS features a high-quality yet clear and simple circuit that's capable of rendering the smallest signal, in both the higher and lower frequencies. The CMS integrates two high-end amplification units, one to power each drive unit.
Calibration for precise installation in any environment
CMS offers very high precision and resolution, however, soundstage coherence also depends on the exact positioning of the monitors. Focal handles this by supplying height-adjustable spikes to perfectly orient each monitor toward the listener. CMS also integrates all fine-tuning adjustments necessary to ensure optimal operation.
- Al-Mg inverted dome tweeter for accurate soundstage
- Aluminum cabinet optimized for maximum rigidity and damping
- Numerous settings (Parametric filter, high-pass filters, bass level, treble level...)
- Polyglass cone to ensure neutral sound without coloration
- Tweeter power unit reproduces every detail
- Mounting plates compatible with K&M and Omnimount fixing kits
Did you notice?
The CMS50 has multiple threaded mounting holes, so you can mount it directly on the wall or even on a microphone stand. -

Ratings & Reviews
Superb, professional-standard speakers
These are wonderful speakers, designed for what is known as near field monitoring (for example, when working on sound recording/ed These are wonderful speakers, designed for what is known as near field monitoring (for example, when working on sound recording/editing and having the speakers placed close to the listening position, between 1m and 3m away.
They are powered by their own built-in amps and are not designed to be used with a receiver, which probably explains one of the other reviewer's negative comments.
Rather, these speakers work superbly when connected to something like the Apogee Duet Firewire interface. Connect the Duet to your Mac and connect these speakers to the Duet and that's all you need for some magnificent sound.
In small rooms, they can be used for fantastic quality replay of audio files, with an outstanding quality high enough to reveal the weaknesses of most compressed music, while doing full justice to uncompressed or Lossless sounds. These speakers are for ears that appreciate such differences. For others, they would be overkill.
Build is top class. Switches on the rear allow for custom adjustments to suit the acoustic characteristics of any listening room.
If you are looking for quality and have been considering similar studio speakers (say, the Adam A7), I give these my highest recommendation. …- Written by GARY JAMES W from San Francisco

Nearly perfect desktop monitors

Very adjustable, the 160 hz notch eliminates the mid bass boom common with desktop use and with front gain knobs on both speakers, the stereo image can be dialed in just right.
The decoupling pad and spikes are well done. Dusted my BM5A monitors. Very musical and involving, but with detail consistent with their mixing monitor design. Don't know of any similar sized monitor at this price that can compete. Highly recommend. …- Written by David A from Brookfield

After some research, I purchased a Benchmark DAC to interface between my Imac and the Focals, and I was amazed at the new sound quality. There is no background noise regardless of volume, and the effect is like being at a live performance. Apple should offer the Benchmark DAC as an additional product to upgrade your listening experience. Believe me, you will have a sound system better than anything costing several times as much, with the Itunes flexibility of control. Of course, your music library needs to be in the Apple lossless format. …

Cool for little guys
I am spoiled, having grown up in the era where speakers were part of the living room decor in their elegant walnut cabinets and bi I am spoiled, having grown up in the era where speakers were part of the living room decor in their elegant walnut cabinets and big smooth sound. The behemoths were capable of filling a room with sound with little effort, producing solid bass down to 32Hz, in the case of my speakers (I still have them). Most of these behemoths were hand made in either Hope, AR or Northridge, CA. These were the speakers that set the standards for movie and audio mastering.
Most of these old speakers lasted so long that there are replacement parts readily available, something that can't be said in a throw away generation.
Most of the new "mini monitors" are very directional, or as my friend would say "tinny". I found the detail in these speakers to be remarkable, yea, they have no bass line and no, they don't come close to the old Altec Monitors with the 811b sectoral horns, but the aren't half bad for inexpensive little guys. They are for near field monitoring, the farther away you get, the more directional they sound.

A very late reply, but it might help other people out. These are professional studio monitors, and v A very late reply, but it might help other people out. These are professional studio monitors, and very good entry ones at that, they're not cheap PC speakers or designed to make dodgy recordings sound great. To get the best out of them, you will want your Mac to be connected to an external DAC (digital to analog converter), either via USB or the headphone-out which doubles as a digital out; spdif/optical toslink to be precise. You would then connect the Focals either via unbalanced RCA cables, or balanced XLR if your DAC supports it. Some examples would be the Apogee Duet or DAC Magic for entry level. You don't need amplification because these are active not passive speakers.
If you're going to have a decent desktop set up, then you need to go all the way (this includes high-bitrate AAC, or ideally ALAC files, turning off iTunes EQ in order to avoid upsampling or the audio, and isolating the Focals from the desk they are sitting on, otherwise why pay all this money and not use them properly?

True range capacity of these speakers?
- Asked by Craig W from Calgary
- Mar 20, 2010
The frequency response is listed on the Focal website. I think these go down to 45hz, and 90% of mus The frequency response is listed on the Focal website. I think these go down to 45hz, and 90% of music, let alone clubs and places like that never go below 40hz. There's no way a 2.0 set up will match a 2.1's sub for low bass, because the speakers are simply too small to move the air like that; if they were, then who would need a sub?
The Focals have clean, accurate bass but don't try and reproduce what they're incapable of doing well. They will faithfully give you low frequency response within the realm of nearly all music, and I've heard several people comment that it feels like they go lower than the stated response anyway.
As far as desktop solutions go, you'd want 8"+ monitors if you're after the lowest bass (the CMS 65's go lower than the 50s), but even then, bass is bass and if you don't want to annoy the neighbours, then a sub doing 30hz or a bookshelf speaker doing 30hz is still going to travel through the wall the same way. Remember, anything lower than 40hz is really where you start feeling the physical effects of bass rather than hearing it anyway, and this is more the preserve of movies than music. These monitors are among the best in their price point and have won awards, which should tell you enough about how good they sound with well-recorded music! …- Answered by Paul S

Science in Focus: Energy
Explore the notion of "conservation of energy" the idea that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.,A fourth grade teacher discusses how she approaches teaching concepts about energy to a diverse group of students.
Britain was the first country to industrialise, and it acquired the largest empire ever during this same period. But its sphere of economic influence extended far beyond the boundaries of the formal British Empire. This unit focuses on the economics of empire, using a case study of one town, Dundee in eastern Scotland, to explore this huge topic.
2.4 'Culture, identity and power' Having unpacked some of the issues to do with the term 'Roman empire' we turn now to 'culture, identity and power', wide-ranging terms involving many different aspects which are often closely interlocked. The following essay, 'Looking for culture, identity and power', is designed to help you consider various factors and experiences that helped to shape culture, identity and power as social forces in the empire.

People use energy in all aspects of their lives — for cooking, lighting and entertainment. Much of this energy use takes place in buildings, such as our homes. To save money and reduce the impact on our environment, many people are reducing their energy use. One way is to hire engineers to perform home energy audits to understand the ways we use energy and identify ways we can conserve energy. In this activity, students act as energy conservation engineers and identify the ways energy is conse

Glaxo has said it is cooperating with the Chinese investigation and that such conduct is against its policies.
Glaxo said Monday that some senior executives in its China division appeared to have broken Chinese law. "We have zero tolerance for any behavior of this nature," Glaxo said.
Officials at Glaxo and AstraZeneca in London said they had no immediate information Tuesday afternoon about a detained American.
China's probe has caused upheaval among Glaxo's senior management in China. The company's finance chief there, British national Steve Nechelput, has been barred from leaving China, Glaxo said last week.
Glaxo has declined to make Mr. Nechelput available for comment. The company said last week that he hadn't been questioned, detained or arrested. Mr. Nechelput hasn't responded to email or LinkedIn messages. Messages sent to his family members have gone unanswered.
Authorities also have detained four of Glaxo's high-level Chinese executives over allegations that they "severely violated" Chinese law. Glaxo has declined to comment on the executives.
Industry watchers say that China's scrutiny has homed in on multinational companies, though China's entire pharmaceutical industry, a fragmented market in which drug companies work with thousands of distributors, is thought to be mired in bribery and corruption.
AstraZeneca said in a brief statement that Shanghai's Public Security Bureau questioned two managers who had supervised the sales representative, who was taken for questioning on Friday. One of the managers is "continuing to assist the bureau with their enquiries," the company said. The police investigation is focused on the sales representative, AstraZeneca said.
"The Public Security Bureau is describing this as an individual case. We have no reason to believe it is related to other investigations. AstraZeneca has no further information on the detail of the investigation at this time," the company statement said.
