Cutting through the Bull: Infiniti
Infiniti is a brand that's really struggled to make an impact in the UK, even with the might of Nissan behind it. Which is a surprise, as on paper it seemingly has plenty to attract upmarket buyers. Take the FX for instance: it looks like a whole load of crazy, you can get it with a monstrous V-8 and it has Nissan bits in it, which means it won't go wrong. Premier League footballers step right this way.
Unfortunately for Infiniti, things haven't worked out as yet. Most people in the UK are oblivious to the name, … Read more

While I was cleaning up the codes for this blog, I had to go through quite a lot of old entries dating as far back as 2008 and the amount of cringe I had while reading them almost had me shuddering like it was winter. Thank goodness I lost the entries between 2004 to 2007.
I never had the habit of keeping a journal so I guess this is the closest I can get to reading my own immature thoughts and writings. Unlike a private journal, everything is public here and I'd admit that it was very tempting to delete some of those entries but I didn't. As horrible as it is, that history is part of me and who the hell wants to look through old entries except me anyway…
Apart from the horrible presentation and feeble attempts of self-deprecating humour, I fondly remember the memories of trying really hard to be heard in the social space. Of course I still want to be heard. Anyone who produces content on a public social platform wants to be heard by many and be loved by most. Apart from trolls of course. Trolls feed on negativity.
I feel a little rusty from the lack of writing full length posts but I hope that all the copywriting and reading over the last 2 years will help me ease back in this neglected route.
Some old readers of mine will probably miss the old style of mine but trust me. Transformer cartoons stayed awesome in my head until I tried to watch them recently.

Music and mathematics
Music theorists sometimes use mathematics to understand music, and although music has no axiomatic foundation in modern mathematics, mathematics is "the basis of sound" and sound itself "in its musical aspects... exhibits a remarkable array of number properties", simply because nature itself "is amazingly mathematical".[1] Though ancient Chinese, Egyptians and Mesopotamians are known to have studied the mathematical principles of sound,[2] the Pythagoreans of ancient Greece are the first researchers known to have investigated the expression of musical scales in terms of numerical ratios,[3] particularly the ratios of small integers. Their central doctrine was that "all nature consists of harmony arising out of numbers".[4]
From the time of Plato, harmony was considered a fundamental branch of physics, now known as musical acoustics. Early Indian and Chinese theorists show similar approaches: all sought to show that the mathematical laws of harmonics and rhythms were fundamental not only to our understanding of the world but to human well-being.[5] Confucius, like Pythagoras, regarded the small numbers 1,2,3,4 as the source of all perfection.[6]
To this day mathematics has more to do with acoustics than with composition, and the use of mathematics in composition is historically limited to the simplest operations of counting and measuring.[citation needed] The attempt to structure and communicate new ways of composing and hearing music has led to musical applications of set theory, abstract algebra and number theory. Some composers have incorporated the golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers into their work.[7][8]
Time, rhythm and meter[edit]
Without the boundaries of rhythmic structure – a fundamental equal and regular arrangement of pulse repetition, accent, phrase and duration – music would be impossible.[9] In Old English the word "rhyme", derived to "rhythm", became associated and confused with rim – "number"[10] – and modern musical use of terms like meter and measure also reflects the historical importance of music, along with astronomy, in the development of counting, arithmetic and the exact measurement of time and periodicity that is fundamental to physics.
Musical form[edit]
Musical form is the plan by which a short piece of music is extended. The term "plan" is also used in architecture, to which musical form is often compared. Like the architect, the composer must take into account the function for which the work is intended and the means available, practicing economy and making use of repetition and order.[11] The common types of form known as binary and ternary ("twofold" and "threefold") once again demonstrate the importance of small integral values to the intelligibility and appeal of music.
The word "rhyme" was not derived from "rhythm"[contradiction] (see Oxford and Collins dictionaries) but from old English "rime". The spelling of "rime" was later affected by the spelling of "rhythm", although the two are totally different.
Frequency and harmony[edit]
A musical scale is a discrete set of pitches used in making or describing music. The most important scale in the Western tradition is the diatonic scale but many others have been used and proposed in various historical eras and parts of the world. Each pitch corresponds to a particular frequency, expressed in hertz (Hz), sometimes referred to as cycles per second (c.p.s.). A scale has an interval of repetition, normally the octave. The octave of any pitch refers to a frequency exactly twice that of the given pitch. Succeeding superoctaves are pitches found at frequencies four, eight, sixteen times, and so on, of the fundamental frequency. Pitches at frequencies of half, a quarter, an eighth and so on of the fundamental are called suboctaves. There is no case in musical harmony where, if a given pitch be considered accordant, that its octaves are considered otherwise. Therefore any note and its octaves will generally be found similarly named in musical systems (e.g. all will be called doh or A or Sa, as the case may be). When expressed as a frequency bandwidth an octave A2–A3 spans from 110 Hz to 220 Hz (span=110 Hz). The next octave will span from 220 Hz to 440 Hz (span=220 Hz). The third octave spans from 440 Hz to 880 Hz (span=440 Hz) and so on. Each successive octave spans twice the frequency range of the previous octave.
Because we are often interested in the relations or ratios between the pitches (known as intervals) rather than the precise pitches themselves in describing a scale, it is usual to refer to all the scale pitches in terms of their ratio from a particular pitch, which is given the value of one (often written 1/1), generally a note which functions as the tonic of the scale. For interval size comparison cents are often used.

Tuning systems[edit]
5-limit tuning, the most common form of just intonation, is a system of tuning using tones that are regular number harmonics of a single fundamental frequency. This was one of the scales Johannes Kepler presented in his Harmonice Mundi (1619) in connection with planetary motion. The same scale was given in transposed form by Alexander Malcolm in 1721 and by theorist Jose Wuerschmidt in the 20th century. A form of it is used in the music of northern India. American composer Terry Riley also made use of the inverted form of it in his "Harp of New Albion". Just intonation gives superior results when there is little or no chord progression: voices and other instruments gravitate to just intonation whenever possible. However, as it gives two different whole tone intervals (9:8 and 10:9) a keyboard instrument so tuned cannot change key.[12] To calculate the frequency of a note in a scale given in terms of ratios, the frequency ratio is multiplied by the tonic frequency. For instance, with a tonic of A4 (A natural above middle C), the frequency is 440 Hz, and a justly tuned fifth above it (E5) is simply 440×(3:2) = 660 Hz.
Semitone | Ratio | Interval | Natural | Half Step |
0 | 1:1 | unison | 480 | 0 |
1 | 16:15 | minor semitone | 512 | 16:15 |
2 | 9:8 | major second | 540 | 135:128 |
3 | 6:5 | minor third | 576 | 16:15 |
4 | 5:4 | major third | 600 | 25:24 |
5 | 4:3 | perfect fourth | 640 | 16:15 |
6 | 45:32 | diatonic tritone | 675 | 135:128 |
7 | 3:2 | perfect fifth | 720 | 16:15 |
8 | 8:5 | minor sixth | 768 | 16:15 |
9 | 5:3 | major sixth | 800 | 25:24 |
10 | 9:5 | minor seventh | 864 | 27:25 |
11 | 15:8 | major seventh | 900 | 25:24 |
12 | 2:1 | octave | 960 | 16:15 |
Pythagorean tuning is tuning based only on the perfect consonances, the (perfect) octave, perfect fifth, and perfect fourth. Thus the major third is considered not a third but a ditone, literally "two tones", and is (9:8)2 = 81:64, rather than the independent and harmonic just 5:4 = 80:64 directly below. A whole tone is a secondary interval, being derived from two perfect fifths, (3:2)2 = 9:8.
The just major third, 5:4 and minor third, 6:5, are a syntonic comma, 81:80, apart from their Pythagorean equivalents 81:64 and 32:27 respectively. According to Carl Dahlhaus (1990, p. 187), "the dependent third conforms to the Pythagorean, the independent third to the harmonic tuning of intervals."
Western common practice music usually cannot be played in just intonation but requires a systematically tempered scale. The tempering can involve either the irregularities of well temperament or be constructed as a regular temperament, either some form of equal temperament or some other regular meantone, but in all cases will involve the fundamental features of meantone temperament. For example, the root of chord ii, if tuned to a fifth above the dominant, would be a major whole tone (9:8) above the tonic. If tuned a just minor third (6:5) below a just subdominant degree of 4:3, however, the interval from the tonic would equal a minor whole tone (10:9). Meantone temperament reduces the difference between 9:8 and 10:9. Their ratio, (9:8)/(10:9) = 81:80, is treated as a unison. The interval 81:80, called the syntonic comma or comma of Didymus, is the key comma of meantone temperament.
In equal temperament, the octave is divided into twelve equal parts, each semitone (half-step) is an interval of the twelfth root of two so that twelve of these equal half steps add up to exactly an octave. With fretted instruments it is very useful to use equal temperament so that the frets align evenly across the strings. In the European music tradition, equal temperament was used for lute and guitar music far earlier than for other instruments, such as musical keyboards. Because of this historical force, twelve-tone equal temperament is now the dominant intonation system in the Western, and much of the non-Western, world.
Equally-tempered scales have been used and instruments built using various other numbers of equal intervals. The 19 equal temperament, first proposed and used by Guillaume Costeley in the 16th century, uses 19 equally spaced tones, offering better major thirds and far better minor thirds than normal 12-semitone equal temperament at the cost of a flatter fifth. The overall effect is one of greater consonance. 24 equal temperament, with 24 equally spaced tones, is widespread in the pedagogy and notation of Arabic music. However, in theory and practice, the intonation of Arabic music conforms to rational ratios, as opposed to the irrational ratios of equally-tempered systems. While any analog to the equally-tempered quarter tone is entirely absent from Arabic intonation systems, analogs to a three-quarter tone, or neutral second, frequently occur. These neutral seconds, however, vary slightly in their ratios dependent on maqam, as well as geography. Indeed, Arabic music historian Habib Hassan Touma has written that "the breadth of deviation of this musical step is a crucial ingredient in the peculiar flavor of Arabian music. To temper the scale by dividing the octave into twenty-four quarter-tones of equal size would be to surrender one of the most characteristic elements of this musical culture."[13]
The following graph reveals how accurately various equal-tempered scales approximate three important harmonic identities: the major third (5th harmonic), the perfect fifth (3rd harmonic), and the "harmonic seventh" (7th harmonic). [Note: the numbers above the bars designate the equal-tempered scale (i.e., "12" designates the 12-tone equal-tempered scale, etc.)]

Below are Ogg Vorbis files demonstrating the difference between just intonation and equal temperament. You may need to play the samples several times before you can pick the difference.
- Two sine waves played consecutively – this sample has half-step at 550 Hz (C♯ in the just intonation scale), followed by a half-step at 554.37 Hz (C♯ in the equal temperament scale).
- Same two notes, set against an A440 pedal – this sample consists of a "dyad". The lower note is a constant A (440 Hz in either scale), the upper note is a C♯ in the equal-tempered scale for the first 1", and a C♯ in the just intonation scale for the last 1". Phase differences make it easier to pick the transition than in the previous sample.
Connections to set theory[edit]
Musical set theory uses some of the concepts from mathematical set theory to organize musical objects and describe their relationships. To analyze the structure of a piece of (typically atonal) music using musical set theory, one usually starts with a set of tones, which could form motives or chords. By applying simple operations such as transposition and inversion, one can discover deep structures in the music. Operations such as transposition and inversion are called isometries because they preserve the intervals between tones in a set.
Connections to abstract algebra[edit]
Expanding on the methods of musical set theory, some theorists have used abstract algebra to analyze music. For example, the notes in an equal temperament octave form an abelian group with 12 elements. It is possible to describe just intonation in terms of a free abelian group.[14]
Transformational theory is a branch of music theory developed by David Lewin. The theory allows for great generality because it emphasizes transformations between musical objects, rather than the musical objects themselves.
Theorists have also proposed musical applications of more sophisticated algebraic concepts. Mathematician Guerino Mazzola has applied topos theory to music,[citation needed] though the result has been controversial.[citation needed]
The chromatic scale has a free and transitive action of the cyclic group , with the action being defined via transposition of notes. So the chromatic scale can be thought of as a torsor for the group .
The golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2011) |
James Tenney reconceived his piece "For Ann (Rising)", which consists of up to twelve computer-generated tones that glissando upwards (see Shepard tone), as having each tone start so each is the golden ratio (in between an equal-tempered minor and major sixth) below the previous tone, so that the combination tones produced by all consecutive tones are a lower or higher pitch already, or soon to be, produced.[citation needed]
Ernő Lendvaï analyzes Béla Bartók's works as being based on two opposing systems: those of the golden ratio and the acoustic scale. In Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta, the xylophone progression at the beginning of the 3rd movement occurs at the intervals 1:2:3:5:8:5:3:2:1. French composer Erik Satie used the golden ratio in several of his pieces, including Sonneries de la Rose Croix.[citation needed]
The golden ratio is also apparent in the organization of the sections in the music of Debussy's Image, "Reflections in Water", in which the sequence of keys is marked out by the intervals 34, 21, 13, and 8 (a descending Fibonacci sequence), and the main climax sits at the φ position. "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun" also reaches a climax point, marked by the entrance of the antique cymbal, at the φ position.[citation needed]
Many of the important musical events in Krzysztof Penderecki's "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima" occur at φ positions.[citation needed]
Boards of Canada have discussed using the golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers in their work.[15] Song titles such as "Music is Math", and numerous songs featuring samples of people counting or discussing numbers, also illustrate the influence of mathematics on their music.[citation needed]
Australian composer Scott Sanders, in his piece "Sweets from Dr Phil" uses modular arithmetic to limit the Fibonacci series to a set of digits modulo 2 to modulo 16, performed by 15 instances of the same timbre to reveal a pseudo-melody apparent in the upper notes of the combination of these instruments. A system of directly mapping digits to pitch classes and durations determines the notes each instrument plays.[16][17][18]
The song, "Lateralus", by Tool incorporates the Fibonacci sequence.[19] The theme of the song describes the desire of humans to explore and to expand for more knowledge and a deeper understanding of everything. The lyrics "spiral out", refers to this desire and also to the Fibonacci spiral, which is formed by creating and arranging squares for each number in the sequence's 1,1,2,3,5,8,... pattern, and drawing a curve that connects to two corners of each square. This would, allowed to continue onwards, theoretically create a never-ending and infinitely-expanding spiral. Related to this, the song's main theme features successive time signatures 9/8, 8/8, and 7/8.[20] The number 987 is the sixteenth integer of the Fibonacci sequence.[21]

The 'off-centered' GCThe National Law Journal 2012-12-26 00:00:06.0 Sam Calagione founded Dogfish Head Craft Brewery Inc. in June 1995 in Rehoboth Beach, Del., as a brew pub called Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats. More than a decade later, the pub remains open, but the company has added a distillery that produces gin, rum and vodka, and a 100,000-square-foot brewery in nearby Milton, Del., that provides 27 states with Dogfish Head beer. The company is privately held and does not release its revenues. However, according to general counsel Shauna Barnes, the company has grown by 20 percent in recent years in terms of sales. Dogfish has more than 250 employees and, according to Barnes, is "always hiring." Barnes became Dogfish Head's general counsel in August. Her formal job title is "off-centered general counsel"a concession to a determinedly informal workplace. There had been concern within the company, she said, that bringing a lawyer in-house would mean the death of fun for the other workers; her title had to convey the requisite gravity when she negotiated deals, yet not offend a company culture that emphasized "off-centered ale for off-centered people." Job titles that didn't make the cut included "fun police" and "Dr. Know." Barnes is the only lawyer within the office of general counsel. She reports to chief operating officer Nick Benz. Barnes' forte is contracts and alcohol regulation; for other legal matters, she turns to outside counsel, including a team from McDermott Will & Emery's Washington officeMarc Sorini to help iron out distribution agreements with wholesalers and alcohol regulatory issues; Richard Kim to oversee the trademark portfolio; and John Dabney for trademark litigation. She also has developed relationships with a number of lawyers in Wilmington, Del.: Margaret DiBianca of Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor counsels on employment law. Dan McCollom of McCollom Thomas helps with general corporate work. Richard Kirk of Bayard counsels on regulatory work specific to Delaware. "When we hire outside counsel, it's important that they're great at what they do, but it's also important for us that their personality matches with Dogfish," Barnes said. Daily dutiesBarnes spends most of her day working on alcohol regulatory work. At the close of each workday, she prepares a "to do" list to tackle first thing the next morning. She's lucky, she said, if she gets to No. 1she's often greeted at her desk by co-workers waiting to ask a licensing question or about a contract. As for a typical day, "it's a lot of what pops up that day, while moving forward with some more of my long-term projects." One long-standing project was a negotiation with lawyers representing the Grateful Dead for a collaboration brew called "American Beauty." The project is part of a series inspired by particular musicians and their music. Never mind the Dead's hippie vibe and bootleg-friendly ethos"That was a negotiation," Barnes said. "They've got some great lawyers on their side." The rest of her work involves applying her legal skills and educating herself. "There is still a lot to learn, and I still lean on outside counsel," she said. "I am not so full of myself that I don't know my limitations. I certainly know my limitations, and will call out for help." Compensation, territoryWhen Prohibition was repealed, the federal government mandated a three-tier system of alcohol regulation: supply, wholesaler and retail. Typically, when a supplier enters into an agreement with a wholesaler, the latter grants exclusivity within its territory for the brand. If the supplier decides it wants to work with someone new, the regulatory framework makes terminating the old relationship difficult. It also makes for legal work. In Illinois, for example, a supplier may terminate an agreement only if it pays reasonable compensation. Dogfish Head is in federal court there now, arguing about what constitutes reasonable compensation. In Virginia, meanwhile, Dogfish has been interceded in a territorial dispute between two wholesalers. The company decided to involve itself because "we felt strongly that one wholesaler had the right to our brand and the other did not," Barnes said. Working for a brewery makes for some interesting challenges, Barnes has discovered. Many involve alcohol regulations. State regulators "try their hardest to address every situation, but the cool stuff that our brewmaster and Sam [Calagione] come up with that they want to do is usually not addressed at all," Barnes said. Take the time Dogfish created a beer/wine hybrid. The problem was that beer and wine are taxed differently. The solution, she said, boiled down to this: If you have more of the ingredients that make beer as opposed to wine, the beverage is taxed as a beer. "It's really fun, and it's really outside-the-box thinking. It's a cool job." Route to the topBarnes graduated from Wake Forest University School of Law in May 2010. Brandon Barnes, still her fiancé at the time, was working at McDermott as an associate when Barnes graduated (they met in law school after Barnes had her offer to work at McDermott as a summer associate). Unfortunately, that was at the height of the financial crisis, and the firm deferred her start date. She worked as a Constitutional Law Fellow at the Institute for Justice until she became an associate in McDermott's antitrust and competition practice, where she defended health care mergers, assisted in counseling clients, and worked on civil and criminal antitrust cases. She had found that she loved to draft contracts and work on deals, she said, but saw little of this work in her new position. She sought out Sorini, leader of McDermott's alcohol regulatory and distribution group, who had recently lost an associate and gave Barnes some work for his brewery clients. "You name a small craft brewery, they're his clients," Barnes said. She researched trade-practice issues for him, negotiating and drafting distribution agreements for breweries. Dogfish was a client, and when she found out the company was in the market for a young general counsel to grow with the brewery, she saw her opportunity. "I know that one of the reasons they hired me was that I've done a lot of the regulatory work with Marc," Barnes said. Barnes was born in Pittsburgh. She and Brandon haven't had any kids, she said, but she considers her dogs her children. Her hobbies include landscape photography and travel. [State regulators] try their hardest to address every situation, but the cool stuff that our brewmaster and Sam [Calagione] come up with that they want to do is usually not addressed at all.

first and foremost I would like to thank Formutech Nutrition for giving me this opportunity to log their product. I really do appreciate it.
Id also like to thank Hvactech for selecting me when I i dont have much time on the boards
This is my log, Im not going to list a bio about myself but if you have any questions about what my routine/diet is go for it.
I was excited about the ingredient profile so I got myself to the gym as quick as I could. Ha.
Lets get started,
The scoop is not small nor big.(10.2g) so i was afraid of how well it would all mix together.
I mixed a rounded 1 scoop with about 10 oz of water. I stir'd her up for 30 seconds
This was the initial sediment left at the bottom that i expected to stay, but by my surprise it all disolved rather quickly. I was very impressed.
The Taste was really good, not too sweet not too bitter, it was actually very enjoyable. Ive had some pretty disgusting pre's
The first thing I noticed was the beta A creeping up my neck and face. (I love BA) I like it heavy, gets me ready for the gym. I popped in my headphones and hopped on my motorcycle and i was off to iron haven.
The energy was very smooth. Not overwhelming at all which works for me, Anything that lifts me up too quick usually drops me half way through a workout.
the energy kept me going strong through out my hour and 15 min lift.
The fun, This was by far one of the BEST pumps ive gotten from a one scoop pre. I had blood rushing to my biceps right after my first set of incline db curls. I really dont know what else to add other than the PUMP WAS INSANE.
No crash at all. period. I will up the dose to 2 scoops to asses my tolerance later in the log.
I actually will post up my routine later. and diet to track progress.
lets get started!

Die Gute Fabrik
Copenhagen & New York City
Release date:
Coming 2013
Available on:
PS3 / home computers
Promotional website:
Regular price:
Johann Sebastian Joust is a no-graphics, digitally-enabled playground game for 2 to 7 players, designed for motion controllers such as the PlayStation Move. The goal is to be the last player remaining. When the music — selections from J.S. Bach's "Brandenburg Concertos" — plays in slow-motion, the controllers are extremely sensitive to movement. When the music speeds up, this threshold becomes less strict, giving the players a small window to dash at their opponents. If your controller is ever moved beyond the allowable threshold, you're out! Try to jostle your opponents' controllers while protecting your own.

A game of Johann Sebastian Joust breaks out
On The Verge, 2012
The Besties go to PAX East 2012
Polygon, Boston, 2012
Johann Sebastian Joust was first prototyped by Douglas Wilson at the the 2011 Nordic Game Jam. The original version used Wiimotes. In the summer of 2011, Doug ported the game to the PlayStation Move in order to take advantage of the controller's programmable LED light. In November 2011, we distributed a private, early alpha version of the game to several hundred people who had contributed to Brandon Boyer's Venus Patrol Kickstarter campaign. The game has since won a number of awards, including the Innovation Award at the 2012 Game Developers Choice Awards.
The game draws heavily from several folk games and playground games that we and our friends play here in Copenhagen. Like many sports, folk games, and playground activities, J.S. Joust features a simple ruleset and sound design that encourage physical performance, face-to-face interaction, and spectatorship. The hope is that this open-ended rule set "deputizes" players to improvise their own "house rules." For instance, are you allowed to kick your opponents? What are players allowed to do (or not do) after they're eliminated? What about playing with the controllers in your pockets? J.S. Joust embraces the idea that sometimes, the most enjoyable game of them all is making up your own game.
Doug has written about the game at length in his PhD dissertation. You can read more here.
We are currently working on a commercial release of the game, as a part of our Sportsfriends project.
The alpha version of Joust has been developed in C# and Unity Pro, for PlayStation Move controllers. It runs on Mac OSX.
The alpha uses an open-source API developed by Thomas Perl, which is itself built on top of Alan Ott's hidapi.

Hey! Seeing as you're reading this, you are interested! Don't go too soon. I wish to discuss my plans with you.
Here's my idea:
Basically, I'll make a list of seven powers available. Based on each character sheet I receive, I'll match it with a power. First matching CS for each power will get it. I'll only accept six 'super' characters, and each player may only have one 'super' character. Other characters, such as mortal students, parents maybe, or STAR agents, will have a simpler CS to fill out, but I suggest limitations to how many 'other' characters you create, for you'll have to rp all CS characters equally. NPC's that show up randomly are the better and easier option. But if the character will show up regularly, make a CS. I know, lots of rules, but this is a semi-advanced idea. It'll be a casual rp, for I don't have as many expectations on post length, but my idea has a lot of limitations in order to make it run smoothly. Hope I haven't pushed you off, and if you're still interested, post below.In a world where crime is a constant threat, a group of teens were chosen to go through a procedure that would change their lives forever. Their identities kept secret from the public, even their parents, only the secret government agency, only known as STAR, and the teens know about the power they had been given. Through multiple experiments, the scientists had developed a way to give humans supernatural abilities in order to fight crime and stop the world from falling into chaos. Only problem was, the procedure only worked on human beings under full maturity. So the power and responsibility was given to specially selected teens. According to their parents, they were at a summer camp, and would be home before the school year started again. After the procedure and minor training, the teens were given special communication devices, designed to look like an ordinary cellphone, but were way more than that.
One of the many coincidences of the selection: all 7 teens were from the same town, and go to the same High School. Under Oath to not reveal their secret powers, these teen go through their lives, waiting for that moment they get a call from STAR and are whisked off to defend the world from the chaos that wishes to consume it. How hard can it be?

You've heard of plenty of all-in-one devices, so here's an interesting all-in-one piece: the RHT-G900 A/V furniture coming from Sony Japan in May, designed for its Bravia line of TVs up to 46 inches.
If you don't have room for a booming sound system with tower speakers and mega subwoofer, don't fret. This baby comes with built-in left, center and right speaker channels and a subwoofer right in the rack. And there's 5.1-channel virtual surround provided by the S-Force PRO technology.
The RHT-G900 also features HDMI inputs, digital audio inputs, digital media port, preset equalizers and a digital audio decoder that can do Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG-2, AAC and PCM.
Dimensions for this 119-pound unit are roughly 44 by 16 by 19 inches. We're taking the word from Hifi-ring.com, which hopefully translated Sony's Japanese press release pretty well.

The MAROON Vol. 64, No. 12 Loyola University, New Or eans, Louisiana 70118 November 26,1985 Trustees give final approval to new building By Mary Caffrey Staff writer The University Board of Trustees unanimously agreed Thursday to construct a parking garage/recreation center on campus, upholding a student referendum that had been declared invalid by the Student Government Association Court of Review. The decision was based on the report given by the board's Student Affairs Committee, which said the SGA student referendum was valid, Vincent P. Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs, said. "The Student Affairs Committee felt the referendum was a valid and authentic expression of the students' point of view," Knipfing said. The referendum asked students if they would help fund the proposed $12 million facility. It passed on Oct. 15 with 53.5 percent of the vote. But the Court of Review recalled the referendum, ruling that the SGA had conducted a one-sided, proreferendum campaign that may have improperly affected the outcome. Trustees were aware of the court's ruling, but it was not discussed at Thursday's meeting, Knipfing said. He said the committee found the referendum to be valid because there were no allegations of fraud in the election or misrepresentation of factual information.The committee disagreed with the court's statement that campaign funds were not adequately available to students opposed to the construction of the facility, he said. "There's no reason to believe these students would not have been given funds if there had been a legitimate request," Knipfing said. The committee said the facility was needed and building it was in Loyola's best interest. But Knipfing said in his opinion the original referendum was binding, and the facility would not have been built if it had failed. SGA President Byron Arthur said he was pleased with the board's decision. "The board felt it could get an accurate measurement of whether or not students wanted the building," he said. "They saw, as I and others did, that there was nothing illegal which could have disturbed the decision." Knipfing said the board did not discuss the financial commitments Loyola has made since the referendum passed. But he said if the university pulled out at this point, there would be financial penalties. "Bonds have been sold and the architects have begun the drawings," Knipfing said. "1 really don't know how much it would cost, but it would be in the thousands." Although the board did not issue an official statement about the SGA's role in the referendum, Knipfing said he does not think they found any problems with the SGA's actions. Knipfing said May 1 has been set as a target date for the beginning of construction. Students will begin paying an extra $200 a year beginning in the fall of 1987. With this issue, 'The Maroon* ceases publication for the fall semester. Publication will resume Jan. 24,1986. Homosexuals: respect lacking GAYS ON CAMPUS Editor's note: The homosexual students interviewed for this story wished to remain anonymous. Where appropriate, names are fictitious. By Judi Hymel News Editor To some, they are an invisible community. To others, they are a large part of the campus, possibly more than the estimated national average of 10 percent. Regardless of their numbers, gay students at Loyola remain anonymous, often fearful of rejection from other students, friends, and parents — and sometimes fearful of accepting the reality themselves. And they offer different perspectives ot lite on campus. "There isn't any acceptance here," Ben, a homosexual student, said. "There is more acceptance in general society than there is here. ) don't know if it is self-imposed or there is actually someone imposing the pressure on us. It seems like a lot of both." "Being gay at Loyola is not a problem — as long as they [homosexuals] stay in their place, as long as straight students don't feel threatened," Andy, a homosexual student, said. Homosexuals on campus claim that acceptance from others is essential for them to be comfortable with who they are. Many gay students said the campus is generally tolerant, but they were also aware that a large part of the campus would reject them if their sexual preference were known. "Good friends accept me for who 1 am, but the general campus, if they knew I was gay, would alienate me. I would be an animal at the Audubon Zoo," Greg, a homosexual student, said. When Henry, a homosexual student, first came to Loyola he was scared of students learning he was homosexual. "But people that do know I'm gay like me for me, as a person, not because I like guys," he said. "Gays are, and have been, a large part of this [Loyola] community and people should just accept it." But "just accepting it" is difficult for college students, Libby Tisdell, associate campus minister, said. "Typically at a college level people aren't aware of their own sexuality - 75 percent of the students that come in my office aren't," Tisdell said. She said students often reject homosexuals because they are afraid of their own homosexual feelings. "There is a wall around this university. The university is just not ready to deal with it. " —Hutchinson "Homophobia," the fear of persons or things homosexual, runs rampant on campus, said Judy Hutchinson, a residence counselor who claims that more students have come to her this semester for counseling on homosexuality than in the previous two semesters. She said demeaning language about homosexuals and the grafitti in elevators and bathrooms can be evidence of homophobia. Another common fear, Tisdell said, is that many students feel threatened by a homosexual member of the same sex. "Just because someone is gay doesn't mean they are suddenly attracted to you and will force themselves on you," she said. While many contend Loyola's homosexual population is large, they offer different explanations as to why. Ben said it is because Loyola is an institution of higher learning, and "homosexuality is more prevalent in educated circles where people have expanded horizons." —Photo by John McCusker A wareness is a crucial step See Homosexuals/page 4

Hi folks,
After doing some research, I downloaded the free version of Thinking Rock. Naturally the process of getting started resulted in some questions, which is when I discovered:
- They've suspended new wiki members "because of spam"
- their "all users" contact us email doesn't work
- there seems to be no other way to get to them
Depending on the answers to these questions I might have been quite willing to upgrade to the paid version. But now I am wondering if I picked an alternative that's dying. I also notice that there's really not much activity on the wiki, and much of their website refers to dates that are at least a year old. I know they are still releasing; the one recent news item is that there's an Android version (that will only work with the paid desktop). But I have no way of getting my questions answered and figuring out whether I ought to spend money. I've moved back to paper capture for the moment.
Any thoughts, ideas, alternative suggestions? I'm on a W7 machine and would indeed like to sync with a Droid.

Hialeah council members recently awarded a contract worth $689,000, without publicly advertising it.
The company that landed the contract is tied to a Miami businessman who just beat federal criminal charges in an unusual case.
The contract is to build-out the inside of Hialeah's Milander auditorium. The businessman is Arturo Marrero, whom the government accused of conspiring to smuggle cigarettes in and out of the Port of Miami, without paying millions of dollars in customs duties.
Marrero is listed in state records as the president of MVP Builders, which manages the company Builder's Choice Restoration. Builder's Choice Restoration is the company contracted by Hialeah to finish the inside of Hialeah's Milander auditorium.
Marrero insisted he was innocent from the time he was indicted in September 2010, to the time he was acquitted in January.
"He was one of those who was totally innocent. It doesn't happen often," said Joseph Rosenbaum, the attorney who represented Marrero for the case. "We never had to put on our case, our witnesses, because the government just did not have the evidence. And the judge at the close of the government's case dismissed the case."
When his trial was over, Marrero, who said he spent $700,000 in legal fees, sued the government to recoup the money he spent in his defense. He lost the case, but his experience still marks his life, Marrero wrote in an email.
Now, Marrero works with "different nonprofit organizations that help those that have been wrongly accused by the government," he wrote. "There are innocent people out there who are not as fortunate as I am that can afford good legal defense to stop government abuse."
He is also writing a book about his "hellish nightmare."
Accused of money laundering and wire/mail fraud, Marrero's case went to trial twice. The first time it went to court, Marrero's case ended in a mistrial after a juror, a fruit and vegetable vendor who lived in his car, solicited a bribe from the Marrero family, according to an FBI investigation. The juror claimed he could ensure a not-guilty verdict.
Marrero's brother — Lysander Marrero, who is listed in state records as president of Builder's Choice — reported the juror to the feds and cooperated in a sting to catch him.
Arturo Marrero was acquitted at a second trial.
"I have been an honest business person all my life and currently enjoy spending time with my wife of 26 years and 2 great kids in high school," Marrero wrote. "I am trying to jump start my building career once again to provide for my family and certainly do not need any more negative publicity. Unfortunately the public perceives a government accusation or arrest as automatic guilt."
The city chose Marrero's brother's company out of eight others that Hialeah's construction department had asked for bids. Only three companies submitted bids by the deadline, Hialeah's Chief of Staff, Arnie Alonso, wrote in an email.
Builder's Choice told the city it could do the project for $689,000. That's compared to $873,000 offered by Aaron Construction Group and $778,000 bid by Link Construction Group.
Cities contract companies for projects in several different ways. Many cities publicly post specifications of the services needed, and companies offer their price for the project. This process is called a Request for Proposals (or RFP.) The city's elected body, often relying on staff and board recommendations, usually picks the lowest bidder that responds to the city's RFP.
"Since Milander Auditorium is on a fast-track completion schedule, we did not go through the RFP process, which requires that the bid be advertised for a minimum of 30 days. We requested quotes for the interior build-out ... and allowed them 10 days to submit their quotes," Alonso wrote.
He added: "Builder's Choice Restoration was selected because they were the lowest quote and would complete the work in the shortest amount of time."
It's not uncommon for Hialeah to skip the public bidding process, with dozens of expedited bids approved at its twice-monthly council meetings. But the Milander bid is bigger than most.

Some time ago I wrote that I'd revisit the case of Anne Home, who married John Hunter, the 18th-century carpenter turned (what else?) surgeon-pathologist and patron of body snatchers. Anne was a minor poet who wrote stuff Haydn set to music (one notable piece: "My Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair") and was known for her talkative drawing-room lit-crit parties (on one occasion an exasperated Hunter chucked them all out).
In 1792 a 17-year-old nice young man, recommended by an old school chum of hers, fetched up at Anne and John's home in London and was given a freebie apprenticeship to sketch Hunter's work (bits of pieces, so to speak) and to look after the growing confusion of anatomically related bric-a-brac Hunter had amassed in his back-room museum. This pile eventually became famous as the Hunterian Collection, and after Hunter's death in 1793 the nice young man, William Clift, looked after it for more than 50 years. Night and day, they said. Clift became the indefatigable research resource on Hunteriana for such luminaries as Cuvier, Lyell, Davy and Banks and a walking encyclopedia on anything anatomical.
Surprisingly, in view of all this, he also had time to marry and have a daughter, Caroline Amelia. When, in turn, another nice young man arrived to become Clift's assistant, in 1835 Caroline married him. The new hubby, anatomy whiz Richard Owen, had already burst upon the scientific scene three years earlier with his boffo "Memoir on the Pearly Nautilus," thus establishing himself in an area of shell study too arcane for me to appreciate. But not others. Soon after taking over all matters Hunterian from Clift, Owen had catapulted to fame and the natural history department of the British Museum. Where his dynamism went over like a lead balloon with the local snoozers. Which is why there isn't one anymore (nat. hist. dept. at B.M.).

Personnel shakeup at troubled Mass. drug lab
BOSTON (WHDH) -- Two employees at a state crime lab are out of a job as a result of an investigation that led to the shutdown of the crime lab after allegations of evidence tampering.
State officials announced on Thursday the former director of the lab resigned and the director of the analytical chemistry division was fired. A third person, who had direct authority over the chemist involved, could be fired.
State police, who recently took over the lab, said a chemist violated testing protocols and may have deliberately mishandled drug samples. State officials are probing the chemist who resigned in March. She could face criminal prosecution.
"There were several red flags that should have been noted and prompted closer scrutiny and earlier actions, but these flags were either missed or ignored," said Health and Human Services Secretary JudyAnn Bigby.
Police said the former chemist apparently took at least 90 samples relating to Norfolk County drug cases without having an evidence officer sign them out, as protocol requires. Her motive is unknown.
"She has admitted to some malfeasance and that will be an ongoing investigation, part of the attorney general's investigation," said Dept. of Public Safety Secretary Mary Elizabeth Heffernan.
The former chemist handled over 60,000 drug samples relating to more than 40,000 cases, many more than her colleagues, but it appears she received no extra compensation for handling so many.
In a 2010 trial she testified, "I run the quality control/quality assurance within the drug lab." Officials said they are trying to find out if that is true.
"I think that if she was in control in that lab then the problem is a lot bigger than the cases she herself tested," said Criminal Defense Attorney Rosemary Scapicchio.
Officials do not know how far-reaching this is.

The inaugural event of the Delhi Urban Platform is an open discussion on the city of Delhi, and possible future conversations.
The Delhi Platform is a networked constellation of events and discussions on various themes that affect the city of Delhi. The Platform is a collaborative process involving diverse institutions and individuals, who have a stake in the futures of the city. The Platform was begun as a response to the lack of a critical public discussion on Delhi's urbanity and urban life.
Tracing its history back almost a millennia, standing on the ruins of older and new empires, Delhi's urban heritage is unmatched in the subcontinent. Yet Delhi's 20th century has been one where the city has increasingly lost its urban imagination. This is a process that some trace back to the defeat of 1857, the slow marginalization of the Old city and ultimately, the trauma of Partition in 1947. Delhi often appeares as a curious paradox - a historic city, but without a consciousness of itself, without an identity.
In the last decade, however, Delhi's residents have become acutely aware of the crises of the city's urbanism. Urban debates are now the flesh of Delhi's life, the headlines to our morning coffee. We have witnessed public quarrels over infrastructure, pollution, speeding buses, displacement of the poor, heritage, sealing, the list goes on... An urban discourse has emerged, as witnessed in rapid interest in reporting on the city in papers and media, and scores of online platforms on Delhi. This public debate is raw, confused, provocative, often half-baked - but it is here to stay. The coming Commonwealth Games has put spotlight on all the city's problems, critical engagement with our present is more urgent than ever.
Delhi deserves better. It is important to create new sites of critical, independent urban discourse – that can provide open platforms on all themes affecting the city. The Delhi Platform is thus intended as an open forum that travels to different parts of the city in the coming months, leading up to the Commonwealth Games and beyond the event. The platform is a collaboration between different institutions and individuals interested in Delhi's urbanism. The platforms will involve people from all walks of life: scholars, practitioners, activists, writers, artists, ordinary citizens in a critical conversation about Delhi's urban futures.
The Platform website is under construction, and will be live by the end of this week. Visit: www.delhiurbanplatform.org
