Tower on the Maumee in renovation talksWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Casey Cheap, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
The last time Downtown Toledo's second tallest building was occupied, the average price of a gallon of gasoline was $1.22, the Federal minimum wage was $5.15 and President Bill Clinton was campaigning for a second term.
Eyde Company currently owns The Tower on the Maumee, which was renamed in 2008. The company is currently in talks with a few firms for leasing and the redevelopment of the building, according to Nick Eyde, the building's project developer.
Eyde said once redevelopment is under way, the building could be operational in 12-18 months. Eyde Company has much of the financing for redevelopment lined up, and believes it will again be an anchor of the Downtown business district.
"This type of project is not for the faint of heart," Eyde said. "We are on the verge of some exciting things, much like a similar project we are undertaking in Lansing."
Eyde envisions a restaurant on the ground floor in the main lobby, and a mix of office space, hotel rooms or high-rise apartments on the upper floors.
Funding has been provided from the state and federal governments in the form of The Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund for $2.5 million and the Brownfields Economic Development Initiative, a $2 million grant, which was awarded to just six projects nationally.
Eyde said the building had to be designated under the National Register of Historic Places in order to qualify for the Brownfields grant.
"The building does not turn 50 until 2018, but it was awarded an exception based on the historical significance of the architect, and the fact that it was Toledo's first skyscraper," Eyde said.
As an integral part of the Toledo skyline, the building is 400 feet tall, 30 stories, has 390,000 gross square feet of floor space and an attached 515-space parking garage. The Tower on the Maumee is often confused with Toledo's tallest building, One Seagate (the Fifth Third Bank building), which is 11 feet taller.
A third party owned the building for about a year after Owens Corning vacated it as its world headquarters. Eyde Company has owned the building since the late 1990s.
Owens Corning moved to its current campus along the Maumee River in 1996, leaving the former Fiberglas Tower vacant for more than 16 years. Fiberglas is a patented spelling for Owens' products.
At the time, the building had become a relic from the late 1960s, a time when urban centers were building taller and "glass box," buildings were popping up all over the country. Toledo was no exception, as The Tower on the Maumee was completed in 1969.
It was discovered after the Owens move that the building contained asbestos fireproofing, which would be a barrier to revitalization efforts, and a possible nightmare for developers looking for potential tenants.
"The cost to remove was more than initially anticipated," Eyde said. "Ultimately with the help of the state's Clean Ohio Fund, the asbestos was removed."
Each floor was painstakingly scraped out and cleaned by late 2011, Eyde said.
A number of potential building designs by Poggemeyer Design Group have been completed, and the next steps will be to convert those designs to construction drawings for redevelopment.

- Alcoholic liver disease (1)
- Hepatitis (1)
- Interleukin-22 (1)
- Liver cirrhosis (1)
- Liver-related complications (1)
- Soluble serum CD81 is elevated in patients with chronic hepatitis C and correlates with alanine aminotransferase serum activity (2012)
- Aim: Cellular CD81 is a well characterized hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry factor, while the relevance of soluble exosomal CD81 in HCV pathogenesis is poorly defined. We performed a case-control study to investigate whether soluble CD81 in the exosomal serum fraction is associated with HCV replication and inflammatory activity. Patients and Methods: Four cohorts were investigated, patients with chronic hepatitis C (n = 37), patients with chronic HCV infection and persistently normal ALT levels (n = 24), patients with long term sustained virologic response (SVR, n = 7), and healthy volunteers (n = 23). Concentration of soluble CD81 was assessed semi-quantitatively after differential centrifugation ranging from 200 g to 100,000 g in the fifth centrifugation fraction by immunoblotting and densitometry. Results: Soluble CD81 was increased in patients with chronic hepatitis C compared to healthy subjects (p = 0.03) and cured patients (p = 0.017). Patients with chronic HCV infection and persistently normal ALT levels and patients with long term SVR had similar soluble CD81 levels as healthy controls (p>0.2). Overall, soluble CD81 levels were associated with ALT levels (r = 0.334, p = 0.016) and severe liver fibrosis (p = 0.027). Conclusion: CD81 is increased in the exosomal serum fraction in patients with chronic hepatitis C and appears to be associated with inflammatory activity and severity of fibrosis.
- Interleukin-22 predicts severity and death in advanced liver cirrhosis: a prospective cohort study (2012)
- Background: Interleukin-22 (IL-22), recently identified as a crucial parameter of pathology in experimental liver damage, may determine survival in clinical end-stage liver disease. Systematic analysis of serum IL-22 in relation to morbidity and mortality of patients with advanced liver cirrhosis has not been performed so far. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study including 120 liver cirrhosis patients and 40 healthy donors to analyze systemic levels of IL-22 in relation to survival and hepatic complications. Results: A total of 71% of patients displayed liver cirrhosis-related complications at study inclusion. A total of 23% of the patients died during a mean follow-up of 196 +/- 165 days. Systemic IL-22 was detectable in 74% of patients but only in 10% of healthy donors (P <0.001). Elevated levels of IL-22 were associated with ascites (P = 0.006), hepatorenal syndrome (P <0.0001), and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (P = 0.001). Patients with elevated IL-22 (>18 pg/ml, n = 57) showed significantly reduced survival compared to patients with regular ([less than or equal to]18 pg/ml) levels of IL-22 (321 days versus 526 days, P = 0.003). Other factors associated with overall survival were high CRP ([greater than or equal to]2.9 mg/dl, P = 0.005, hazard ratio (HR) 0.314, confidence interval (CI) (0.141 to 0.702)), elevated serum creatinine (P = 0.05, HR 0.453, CI (0.203 to 1.012)), presence of liver-related complications (P = 0.028, HR 0.258 CI (0.077 to 0.862)), model of end stage liver disease (MELD) score [greater than or equal to]20 (P = 0.017, HR 0.364, CI (0.159 to 0.835)) and age (P = 0.011, HR 1.047, CI (1.011 to 1.085)). Adjusted multivariate Cox proportional-hazards analysis identified elevated systemic IL-22 levels as independent predictors of reduced survival (P = 0.007, HR 0.218, CI (0.072 to 0.662)). Conclusions: In patients with liver cirrhosis, elevated systemic IL-22 levels are predictive for reduced survival independently from age, liver-related complications, CRP, creatinine and the MELD score. Thus, processes that lead to a rise in systemic interleukin-22 may be relevant for prognosis of advanced liver cirrhosis.

Google Spreadsheets Screenshots
If you didn't get your invitation for Google Spreadsheets, try this link. It's what I got in my invitation and it can be used by anyone.
You can find some screenshots on Flickr. Most of them show the product works really bad: I tried to import two very simple Excel files, and both had problems. Google Spreadsheets treated them as read-only files. The product is very slow, it's very hard to use (you can barely select a row or a set of columns) and has really basic features.
All in all, this is the most unpolished Google product I've ever tried, it looks like a pre-alpha application.
Philipp Lenssen has a different opinion:
"Google Spreadsheet usability is quite good. As ever so often, this is a Google product with no ads so far (ads might be on the horizon, of course); it's more a tool than a site, clearly fitting into the growing array of Google OS products. The only thing I really missed so far was right-clicking rows to apply formatting changes or to copy & paste text."

the softball team getting back to the playoffs after a year's absence, Clifton Ridge's boys and girls sweeping basketball championships, Gray Station's baseball team grabbing a baseball crown, and region titles by a couple of Jones County track stars were among the sports highlights in 2012 in Jones County.
The Greyhounds were 7-3 in the regular season this past fall to advance to the state football playoffs for the first time since 2004. They lost in the opening round to Glynn Academy, but it was a sign that the work to improve the program is paying off.
The young Lady Hounds struggled early in the season but showed improvement down the stretch and finished second in the Region 2-AAAAA tournament. They downed Glynn Academy in the first round of the state playoffs before being swept by Whitewater, which wound up third in the state, in the second round.
The sports year began with the Jones County varsity basketball teams showing improvement over the previous season, with both making it to the second round of the region tournament before being eliminated. The boys wound up 12-14 in Dennis Woolfolk's first year as coach, and the girls were 13-13 in Lance Pittman's second season.
The Clifton Ridge girls and boys, meanwhile, both won the Central Georgia Middle School Athletic League basketball titles by downing Manchester in their championship games. The girls were coached by Daniel Wright and the boys by Charles David.

Chainey Briar
It's exciting to learn the local foods that are mentioned in historical works. The tendrils of the chainey briar (also spelled cheney briar), climb willy-nilly over bushes in the Lowcountry and up the Eastern Seaboard.
Referenced back as far as the early 1700s by European travelers to the colonies, the Indians used the roots as a thickener and also ate the tender stalks and tendrils. The stalks taste much like asparagus and can be cooked the same way.
My cache of chainey briar, gathered by Ben Moise, author of "Ramblings of a Lowcountry Game Warden," and left on my piazza as a gift, was about the size of a bunch of asparagus. He gave me the stalks, but kept the intertwined tendrils to see if they could be cooked as well. He left the roots for another day.
It was the first time I had cooked chainey brair, in fact the first time I had had more than a furtive sneaked nibble from a bush on Bull's Island.
Delicious raw or cooked, I immediately wanted to plant some. Moise, however, deterred me from doing so, calling it a noxious weed. (It's also called greenbrier; its botanical name is Smilax rotundifolia). As a wild product, it can no longer be sold in Charleston, but in previous years vendors sold bundles of them. But it is certainly edible. Taste before eating, because if it grows too large, it will be bitter.
Cookbook authors John Martin Taylor, Joseph Dabney and The Lee Brothers refer to it in their books, as do I in "Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking."
1 bunch slender stalks of chainey briar
Butter or olive oil
Lemon or orange rind, no white pith attached
Rinse and cut off any tough ends of the chainey briar and any long tendrils. Bring a frying pan partially filled with water to a boil. Add the cleaned stalks of chainey briar.
Cook 1 to 3 minutes until slightly wilted but still crisp. Drain quickly and run under cold water to stop the cooking if necessary. Season to taste with salt and pepper, toss in a little butter or olive oil and add grated lemon or orange rind. Serve hot or room temperature. To use in a salad, cut into smaller lengths. Otherwise, eat with fingers, as with asparagus.
Nathalie Dupree is the author of 13 cookbooks, most recently the James Beard award-winning "Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking." She lives in Charleston and may be reached through Nathaliedupree.com.

These glowsticks can be used anywhere you want to glow and in any colour you want. I invented them when trying to make my laptop stand more attractive. But you can use them as throwies by attaching a little magnet on it. I explained the instruction before on my Laminate Parque Laptop Stand project but this was before Let It Glow contest :D so i want to enter the contest with my LED Glowstick project. Same photos, but a separate project.
Step 1: Parts & Preparation
Step 2: Start to make a GLOWSTICK
I inserted two LEDs at the ends of the straws and used heatshrink to make it tight.
You can use just one straw to make a LED glowstick throwie. On my project, power wasn't a problem but if u want to make a portable project with 3 volt batteries like CR2032 u must insert the LED just one end of the straw and close the other and with a tape or something. Or u can insert a burned (dead) LED as a mirror for more light effect.
Ebay is the best place to buy electronic components!
That wasn't a nice comment.. So I am not going to answer your clever question...
How old are you yankee? 7?
Im old enough haha. and i just thought it was kinda funny how you totally skipped that part. But really, what did you do just tape some button cell batteries onto the ends or put a bunch of switches and wires and stuff on it?
I am going to make about 2 more of them, and place them around my night stand

2011 iPhone and iPad Jailbreak starters guide
Everything you need to know to get started Jailbreaking your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, including tools, tips, Cydia, apps, themes, and tweaks!
New to iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad and heard about Jailbreak, but not sure if it's for you, and how to get started if it is? No problem, TiPb's here to help! Jailbreak lets you change the look of your entire iPhone, put extra icons in the dock, reply to SMS or iMessage without leaving a game, preview events from the lock screen, toggle settings with a swipe, and much, much more. Compiled here is a master list of basic Jailbreak terms, tools, apps, tweaks, themes, and utilities, and a break down the pros and cons, so you'll know if you're comfortable taking the plunge.
Already a Jailbreak wizard? Save this link as a handy reference to shoot friends and family who are just getting started.
Note: If you need extra help or want to get into more advanced areas of Jailbreak, check out:
Common ways to Jailbreak
There are usually several ways to jailbreak depending exactly when a new version of iOS is released, when a new exploit is found, and when new jailbreaks are released. Some are one-button easy, others command-line complicated. Here are the latest and the simplest. We'll continue to update this page and our main jailbreak page whenever new jailbreak tools are released or updated.
If you're not sure which tool you'd need, here's how to find out which iOS software and iPhone modem firmware you're running.
iOS 5 & 5.0.1 (GSM/CDMA) Jailbreak (tethered)
iOS 4.3.3 (AT&T/GSM) Jailbreak (untethered)
- How to Jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 via JailbreakMe (including iPad 2)
- How to Jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 with redsn0w
iOS 4.2.6 (Verizon) Jailbreak (untethered)
Common Jailbreak Terms
The most obvious of all terms, but yet the most confused. Jailbreak comes from "breaking open" the root "jail" that Apple uses to secure iOS against running unsigned -- aka unapproved by Apple -- code. (You might have heard this called "rooting" on other platforms.) While Apple does this for security reasons, so bad guys can't put viruses and malware on iOS, it also prevents good guys from making some incredibly useful but currently frowned upon features -- like ssh access, shortcuts, themes, side-loading, and much more.
Jailbreaking applies to iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and at its core is about control and customization, letting you do what you want with the device you purchased.
Tethered vs. Untethered
Two common terms you'll see associated with Jailbreak are Tethered and Untethered. These refer to whether or not you need to connect your Jailbroken iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to your PC over USB in order to reboot it.
An Untethered Jailbreak can be rebooted any time, anywhere, without having to connect to your PC. It works just like a non-Jailbroken device.
A Tethered Jailbreak needs to be plugged into your PC over USB, and you typically need to re-run your Jailbreak utility -- like redsn0w -- and choose the "reboot" option to restart your device.
Rebooting a Tethered Jailbreak without plugging into your PC could result in your device not restarting, or restarting but with no access to Cydia, or other side effects.
An Untethered Jailbreak is typically harder to develop and takes longer to release than a Tethered Jailbreak, so Untethered Jailbreaks are often only available for older versions of iOS while Tethered Jailbreaks get updated more quickly.
For example, iOS 5 can currently only be Jailbroken with a Tether.
If you bought your iPhone from a carrier like AT&T, or at a subsidized (on-contract) price, it will almost certainly be SIM-locked to that carrier. That means, for example, you can't take out your AT&T SIM and put in a T-Mobile SIM if you want to change plans, or put in a Rogers or Vodafone SIM if you're traveling.
While you can buy SIM-unlocked iPhones directly from Apple in many countries, and some carriers will unlock an iPhone for you after a certain period of time or for a certain amount of money, many won't, including AT&T. So, unlocking is a Jailbreak method of removing the carrier SIM-lock so you can use your iPhone on the network or networks of your choosing.
The unlock process can change from firmware to firmware but typically, you'll need to jailbreak your phone and then install a program via Cydia like ultrasn0w or yellowsn0w, which will then unlock your iPhone.
Note: There are also other ways to unlock such as the Gevey SIM but they're typically frowned upon considering you've got to dial an emergency number for the process to work.
Apple has the App Store, jailbreakers have Cydia in addition to Apple's App Store. (If you want to be technical, Jailbreak had Installer even before Apple had the App Store.) Because Cydia isn't run by Apple, Cydia apps don't have to be approved by Apple and you can find all sorts of highly useful themes, utilities, tweaks and other software in Cydia you simply can't find anywhere else.
Cydia works with repos, or repositories. These are simply the sources for the software files that Cydia lets you install. ModMyi and BigBoss are two of the largest. They are already added when you install Cydia. You are always welcome to add custom repos if you choose, however, you really want to stick to well known, trusted sources. Just because good guy developers are making great software for Jailbreak, doesn't mean a bad guy won't try to sneak in something you don't want.
There are two "modes" you might have to enter in order to Jailbreak your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad -- Recovery Mode and Device Firmware Update (DFU) mode. While they may seem similar, there are some differences.
If your screen shows a "Connect to iTunes" logo with a "Slide for Emergency" control, that's Recovery Mode. If you only see a "Connect to iTunes" (no "Slide for Emergency" control), or more commonly, a black screen, you are in DFU mode.
The main difference between these two modes is what they will and won't bypass for installs. Recovery mode will implement iBoot (basically a portion of the bootloader than runs an integrity check) which will not allow you to downgrade your device's current version of iOS.
DFU mode will still talk to iTunes but it bypasses iBoot which will then allow you to downgrade firmware. Most jailbreaks will require DFU mode for these reasons.
SHSH Blobs
Signature HaSH or *SHSH** blobs are the signature system Apple has created to verify iOS firmware for authentication. Apple uses them to prevent iTunes from restoring older versions of iOS to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. For example, a short time after iOS x.1 is released, Apple will stop signing iOS x.0 and you'll no longer be able to restore that version to your device.
This is important because iOS x.0 might have a Jailbreak and iOS x.1. might not yet have been Jailbroken (or may be a tethered vs. untethered Jailbreak. So, if you upgrade you could lose your Jailbreak, your untether, etc.
SHSH blobs save you from this headache. It will basically give iTunes a fake authentication, which in turn, makes iTunes think your restore has been verified.
Cydia will save SHSH blobs for you but occasionally their servers get flooded and they disable it for a period of time. If that happens, you can use TinyUmbrella as well. I highly recommend saving your blobs early on in case you ever find yourself in this predicament.
The baseband is essentially the part of your iPhone that controls the antenna. This has everything to do with your service and signal. This is why most unlockers have to be extremely careful when upgrading. If the baseband changes, it can permanently keep them from achieving an unlock again. This is the main reason most unlockers tend to favor PwnageTool. It creates a custom firmware bundle for you to upgrade to that doesn't upgrade the baseband, only the main OS. If you are running on the same carrier you bought your iPhone from and don't care about unlocking, the baseband it typically less of a concern. Wifi and Bluetooth don't run on the baseband either, so iPod touch or wi-fi only iPad owners typically don't have concerns when it comes to new baseband versions.
Springboard and Re-Spring
On a computer you have a desktop, on an iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad you have a Springboard. That's the technical name of the iOS Home Screen system, and it's basically the interface you constantly interact with. Another term you'll come in contact with is respringing.
Which leads us to Re-Spring, or the process of restarting the Springboard. Some jailbreak apps you install will require you to do this. All changes in the appearance of your phone via Winterboard (explained below) will require a respring as well. It's nothing more than refreshing your desktop on a computer.
Popular Jailbreak Utilities
Winterboard or Dreamboard
A lot of people jailbreak for the ability to change the look -- aka theme -- of their device. Enter Winterboard and the newly released Dreamboard. Both are free downloads in Cydia. When you install a Winterboard theme, all the components will show up in Winterboard. Depending upon how a theme developer decided to bundle their theme, you may have only one package in Winterboard, or you may have several. I personally prefer when developers separate theme elements.
Since Winterboard works as a hierarchy, I can select a theme and if I don't like the sounds, I can download a sound pack I "do" like and apply that in Winterboard. The key is to move it above the main theme so it overrides the sounds I don't want. I highly suggest jailbreakers become very familiar and comfortable with Winterboard. If you do, there is no limit to what you can do to your phone and you'll be able to tweak and customize even the littlest details of your springboard.
Dreamboard is a relatively new tweak to the jailbreak scene but one I've already decided to include it on my must have iOS 5 jailbreak list . It gives you even more theming ability straight from the device. Swap out icons, customize your theme, and simply apply it. Even though it's in its early stages, it shows a lot of promise so far.
SBSettings is a free utility that allows you to add quick toggles that will drop down onto your springboard. There are also several plug-ins and themes you can download for SBSettings as well. It'll also allow you to hide icons you don't want or use. This is especially useful for hiding stock apps you can't uninstall. I hide the default weather and stock apps among others that are simply wasting space on my springboard. You'll also be able to more closely keep tabs on your memory and running processes. This was extremely useful before multitasking. It's still useful today for freeing up memory and seeing what may be eating through battery or slowing your phone down.
Notification Replacement Apps
Even though iOS 5 introduced Notification Center, some users may still feel there's a lot to be desired when it comes to customizing their notification preferences. Jailbreak developers have stepped up once again to provide other options such as IntelliscreenX. Developers such as Intelliborn and David Ashman (creator of LockInfo]) have frequently stepped in to fill the gaps. I think jailbreak tweaks and customizations for Notification Center will just get better and better.
SMS Apps and Add-Ons
There are many apps that improve SMS capabilities as well. Again, iOS has come a long way in terms of how messages are handled but I'm still waiting for that magic quick reply button to appear as a stock option. Until then, apps like BiteSMS have kept me content. There are other options like TLert available via Cydia as well. Before iOS offered a default option for custom text tones, BiteSMS was reason alone for me to jailbreak.
Many users are left bitter when certain carriers want to charge them an additional fee just for the privilege of tethering. MyWi is a wonderful little app and in my opinion, a major reason to jailbreak on its own. MyWi alllows you to create a wifi hotspot with your iPhone.
If you aren't to keen on paying tethering fees every month to your carrier for the same bits and bytes of data, MyWi may be a better solution. Just keep in mind a lot of carriers are cracking down on unauthorized tethering. This isn't a viable solution for heavy data users but if you only need the ability here and there, this is a good option if you jailbreak.
Jailbreak next steps
Once you're comfortable with the basics, you can start jumping into the Jailbreak deep end. Here are the best places to start.

2011 iPhone and iPad Jailbreak starters guide
Hi @Ace, if you're still interested in jailbreaking you can visit http://epikone.net and find some new tutorials for iPhone.
Excellent guide for the newbies and non experienced users.
I have a baseband 04.11.08 with this article I can use and unlock my iPhone 4 iOS 5
"your new iPhone, iPod touch, or iPhone"
Nice title error ;)
I have a baseband 04.11.08 with this article I can use and unlock my iPhone 4 iOS 5
What's the point of this? No jailbreak for current products.
Because not all of us are blind sheep. Some of us refuse to blow $$$ on a half-baked upgrade.
That's the telltale sign you couldn't afford it.
Oh, I so bad wanna keep up with the Jones'.....I want it now now now now now!!!!
Living debt free and having a nice home, cars, & gadgets, is the life for me. This kind of living only comes from spending money responsibly, not from getting caught in the yearly upgrade cycle.
Have fun chasing your revolving debt, sucker.
I've reached a new low arguing with a "guest" lol
I've spent 200 once on an iphone 3G. Each year, i've sold old device and bought upgrade and usually pocket the extra change.
I'm a partner at a CPA firm. I probably make more in a day than you do all month.
better camera, better 1080p video recording, 64 GBs of storage, Siri, New notification system? They had me at 64GBs. I'd love a 4 inch screen but actually there is nothing more i want in a phone. Other then that 4 inch screen there it is perfect for me. I'm not gonna whine cause they didn't get one thing i wanted.I think it's a great upgrade. Maybe it's you that is blind.
New notifications? That's available for the 4 via software upgrade. 64GB storage? Nice but that's a lot of money. Upgrade in camera? This is a marginal upgrade in my eyes because I don't use it everyday. You forgot to add one of the most important improvements, "dual core processing" which I will admit, is nice.
The problem is, Apple's main focus when giving the sales pitch for the 4s was Siri, which is also happens the-most discernible difference between the 4 & 4s. The 4 can run Siri just fine and Apple knows this. Apple simply used Siri as leverage to sell a half-baked upgrade.
In saying all this, I'm sure next year's phone will be what Steve would call, "An A+ upgrade."
What theme is that picture for SBSettings? I like the silver with the notification center.
Nice guide! Also check out http://guidemyjailbreak.com for step by step video tutorials and more firmwares!
i do think the first line then should be that there's not jailbreak for a 4S. i kinda thought a starters guide would be aimed at the new users. The first line does say "new to the iphone...?" I'd guess that most people new on an iphone or ipad would have the latest versions. I'm not saying there's no point to the article but if it's aimed at new people they are likely to not have a devices that this is useful for. They should be warned about he content before. I'm like Wile E. Coyote so i deduced that it lacked anything useful merely by scanning it do to my superior intellect. After all I am a Suuuuupa Genius. lol. But seriously though it should probably say up front. Doesn't work for the 4s yet.
when do u think jailbreak for 4s will be here
how do i convert back to the ios5 to the 4
Great photos, this is really an epic landscape and museums looks interesting as well. I would like to go and see it myself once.

Sometimes it can be your WiFi router. Before doing the above, turn the WiFi router off, wait 30 sec, then turn back on. Then reset it, buy finding the small hole in the back. Use a paperclip. and push down on the reset button, and hold at least 30 sec. The router will reboot. That can solve a lot of problems. If you do not have the router plugged into a surge protector, get one. Even a cheap one it better than nothing. Little power surges, can cause the router to get corrupted, or do strange things. Thanks Allyson for a great article.
How to fix Wi-Fi network issues on your iPhone and iPad
While your iPhone or iPad should have no issues connecting to Wi-Fi or holding on to a strong signal, issues do arise from time to time. Under iOS 6 many users have been experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Symptoms have ranged from no signal, to pages not loading within Safari, or the inability to connect to a network.
If you're experiencing any of these issues, follow along for a few tips of correcting network issues.
Forget the network and re-join
Forgetting a network and re-joining it can sometimes kick out bad Wi-Fi settings and allow you to connect normally again. It's the quickest way to see if your issue will correct itself or if you need to explore the problem further.
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on Wi-Fi.
- Now tap on the blue arrow next to the name of the problem network.
- Tap on Forget this Network at the very top.
- Tap on Forget when the menu prompt confirming you want to forget it comes up.
- Tap the Wi-Fi tab in the top left to return to the previous screen.
- Now tap on the Wi-Fi network name in order to re-join it.
- Type in your network password if you have one and then hit Join in the upper right hand corner.
- You should now see a checkmark by your network name again indicating that you joined it successfully.
That's it. Open Safari or another app that requires web access to be sure that you now have network connectivity. If you don't, move on to the next section. If you do, that's as far as you need to go.
Reset iPhone and iPad network settings
If you're still having issues after re-connecting to your network of choice and you are sure it isn't your router or home network, resetting all your network settings may solve the issues. You won't lose any media or content except for networking settings. This means you'll have to re-enter logins and Wi-Fi passwords as they'll be completely cleared.
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on General.
- Scroll down all the way to the bottom and tap on Reset.
- Tap on the option to Reset Network Settings.
- If you have a password lock on your iPhone or iPad, you'll be asked to enter it now.
- Confirm you want to reset your network settings by tapping on the red button labeled Reset Network Settings.
- Your device will reboot.
Once your device reboots, try connecting to a Wi-Fi network again to see if the wireless connectivity issues have been resolved. If not, continue on to the next step. If Wi-Fi is once again functioning properly, you don't need to continue on.
Restore your iPhone or iPad
If issues keep persisting, it's a good idea to do a complete software restore to rule out any remaining software issues. If you aren't sure how to completely back up and restore your device, you can check out our guides on how to restore using iCloud and how to restore using iTunes.
- How to back up and restore your iPhone or iPad using iCloud
- How to restore your iPhone or iPad using iTunes
Swap your iPhone or iPad for a new one
If you're still experiencing issues after attempting all of the steps above, all is not lost. If you're under warranty, we'd suggest heading to your nearest Apple store and explaining to them that you've tried all of the above steps and still experience issues with Wi-Fi connectivity. Most likely, they'll swap your device out for a new one or can troubleshoot further to figure out the root of the problem.
DIY repair the Wi-Fi antenna
If you aren't under warranty and don't to pay for an out-of-warranty replacement device, it may be a good time to DIY repair it yourself. While we don't yet have guides for everything, we've already got a large amount of DIY repairs covered for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and more.
Check them out and see if it's something you're willing to fix on your own. If not, you can always use a mail-in service such as The Pod Drop where a repair will most likely run you a lot less than an out-of-warranty replacement from Apple and come with a warranty.
If you have a repair place by you, just make sure you're asking questions about what kind of parts they use and how long they warranty their work for before committing to using them.

How to fix Wi-Fi network issues on your iPhone and iPad
I was thinking the same thing. However, sometimes resetting the router isn't enough to fix it, eitherWe got an email on our show from someone who was constantly having to reset their router. If resetting your router it doesn't work, make sure it has good ventilation, update your router's firmware or consider installing DD-WRT. Here's the episode when we answered the question. http://dmbl.co/e20 Thanks for a great article, Allyson.
Actually unplugging the power to the router is enough to reboot the router, if you press the tiny reset button with a paper clip then you are resetting the router back to factory defaults. This could be a bad mistake if someone has customized their router with Static IP information, or NAT for gaming.
On a lot of routers you can set it in the firmware to automatically reboot once a day or once a week. I've done that on every router that has had problems and it takes care of it like a charm. Again, if the firmware doesn't have that feature, it's DD-WRT time, or you could always put the router on an old fashioned outlet timer. :-)
This is very helpful for iPhone users. For iPad however, you can go to http://www.ipadhelp.com/ipad-help/my-ipad-cant-connect-to-wifi-how-to-fix-the-problem/ as there is a step-by-step guide explaining how to fix any iPad wifi problem and there are screenshots so it is easy to understand what to do exactly
I saw this fix on another post and can attest that it works. I suffered from dropped connections and forgotten passwords, on both an Ipad1 and Ipad2, on both a Netgear and a TPlink router. Solution - Always use the Other option to manually enter network name, security type and password.

Dr. Jason Highsmith's practice involves the full spectrum of neurosurgery, from pinched nerves to brain tumors. He chose the field partly because of its variety and rapid technological advances. He has already seen a great deal of change since 2000 when he started his six-year neurosurgery residency. "The options we have surgically are much improved. Less invasive options are more prevalent," he says. Many of the procedures Dr. Highsmith currently performs are minimally invasive back surgeries, which may only require an overnight hospital stay. Yet he has a conservative approach to recommending surgery and believes that in most situations non-operative solutions should be exhausted first. His desire to educate patients led him to join a respected roster of experts on the editorial board of the website SpineUniverse. That, in turn, led Penguin Publishing to invite him to co-write "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Back Pain," just published in 2011. "We're making more progress – better relief, shorter hospital stays, less need for rehab." -Jason Highsmith, MD Medical School: Medical College of Virginia Residency: Medical College of Virginia Hospital Complex spine fellowship: Emory University To schedule an appointment with Dr. Highsmith, please call 843-553-7615.

Sept. 25, 2012 - The final round of the Manufactures Cup Series concluded on a high note securing three podium finishes, and yet another championship in TaG Final 2 for the Checkered Motorsports team. This has marked a total of 5 championships for the team in 3 years.
In Komet Piston Port Jr. Heavy, Andrew Bujdoso had a solid qualifying run placing 14th for the pre-final. With much shuffling in the top 15, A. Bujdoso managed to finish 13th in pre-final. The final event allowed the young driver to maintain his position and finished the day in 13th.
Komet Piston Jr. Lite he found some speed running as high as the eighth spot until contact forced him to finish 19th with bent components.
The TaG competition was a thriller event throughout the weekend. Zack Busch and Robert Bujdoso put on a show in TaG Final 1 as both drivers passed a total of 10 karts in the pre-final. Adjustments to the #32 machine of R. Bujdoso allowed him to finish third in the Final while posting fast lap of the race. Zack Busch posted his best finish in his PCR just missing the podium with a sixth place finish. Robert Bujdoso in Leopard missed his qualifying setup which put him in the top 15. The Woltjer powered leopard came alive in the final running in the 7th spot until an on track incident with Robby Seward ended his run and another opportunity on a national title.
J.P. Southern Jr. ended his WKA Manufacturers Cup Series event with strong results posting a total of 4 top ten finishes and a podium result in Cadet Final 2. Southern Jr. had a rough qualifying run in Cadet Final 2 put him in the 19th position. The Checkered Motorsports crew made adjustments throughout the pre-final and final where he would pass a total of 15 karts to finish fourth. Southern Jr. displayed consistency in Yamaha Sportsman 1&2 finishing seventh and 10th in the Final event.
Weston Moon and Tom Gerstner made great strides throughout the weekend with both drivers gaining time every session. Weston Moon in Yamaha Supercan Heavy qualified 9th. Moon in the pre-final advanced to third by the opening laps until contact kept him from contesting for a top 5 finish. The Final the young pilot weaved his way through the field finishing 13th and after starting 21st. TaG Masters competitor Tom Gerstner finished the weekend with a 10th place finish in TaG Masters 1, but unfortunately had a DNF in TaG Master 2 due to brake issues.
Csaba Bujdoso states, "The weekend turned out great! The work and dedication that we have put into the PCR brand has paid of this year. We had the speed to clinch three national titles, but settled with one. Our drivers did a fantastic job all together and we will be that much better for next year's Manufacturers Cup campaign."
The team will be contesting in the Florida Winter Tour, WKA Manufacturers Cup Series, Great Lakes Sprint Series, and the Pittsburgh International Race Complex. Tech support, transportation, and arrive and drive opportunities are available.

Q: What sort of maintenance should I perform? A: Performing maintenance is always a good idea to protect your car and make your rack system last longer. Lubricate nuts, screws, or bolts with grease. Lubricate locks with graphite. Remove the rack when not in use, or at least periodically to clean the pads and the vehicles roof. Clean the rack periodically, especially in marine environments and where road salt is used.
Q: Will the rack make a lot of noise? A: Maybe. Wind noise is hard to predict, but it is more often an issue when the rack has little or no load. We make two products, the Fairing and Windjammer, to help control this situation. Large loads tend to dampen noise also. If you have a sunroof the fairing is a good way to help control air flow.
Q: How do I know if the towers are installed correctly? A: Check the safety steps in the Control Tower instructions. These guidelines will show you if the fit is correct.
Q: Will it damage my car? A: We take fitting cars very seriously, and do everything we can to minimize any effect our rack may have on your cars. However, anything coming into contact with a car's finish, our racks included, will have some effect over time, and some cars are more prone to these issues than others. So where the possibility of such issues is predictable, we make note of that in the Fit List. When the rack will not be in use for an extended period, it is a good idea to take the rack off of the car. You can also do a lot for yourself by: (1) Making sure the car is clean and well waxed prior to installing the rack, (2) Following all instructions for installation and usage, and (3) avoiding situations, like car washes, where the rack may be impacted.

Aiken Public Safety investigators have arrested a man in connection to an assault that occurred downtown on July 12.
Derek Randolph Brooks, 38, has been charged with attempted murder, kidnapping and first degree criminal sexual conduct in the incident.
The incident began when a 22-year-old female victim was assaulted at about 2:50 a.m. July 12 near the intersection of Newberry Street and Park Avenue, according to police.
Police said that the victim left a downtown establishment and was walking alone when she was assaulted by a man who was walking behind her. The man reportedly did not have a weapon and used only his hands. The victim was able to go to another establishment to call police.
Police did not comment then on the extent of her injuries, but said "she was struck in the head."
Investigators received assistance in this case from the Aiken County Sheriff's Office, the Second Circuit Solicitor's Office, North Augusta Public Safety, the State Law Enforcement Division and the ATF RAGE Task Force.
The investigation is still ongoing and anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Crimestoppers of the Midlands: (888) Crime‐SC. Callers can remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of between $50 and $1000.

Tuscarawas News Detail
2009 Distinguished Honors Faculty Award Recipient: Susan SainatoPosted Apr. 13, 2009
Susan Sainato
Associate Professor of English Susan Sainato was named the 2009 Distinguished Honors Faculty Award recipient.
Dr. Sainato has served the Honors College for many years with outstanding teaching and dedication to Honors students far beyond normal expectations. Susan joined the Honors college faculty in 2004 and has been teaching for Honors ever since. She has directed a few Senior Honors Theses and supervised numerous smaller research projects. She has also supervised Honors book reading and discussion groups that our students seem to love!
"I know of no other teacher who puts as much effort-and successfully- into including innovative materials in her class. Dr. Sainato is totally devoted to her students and to their learning. She is also one of the most modest people I know!" said one of her colleagues.
One of her students emphasized that Dr. Sainato is "very approachable and enthusiastic. She was very knowledgeable about the subjects we discussed and she was always available for in-depth, one-on-one conversations."
Another student said that "Dr. Sainato was knowledgeable, helpful, motivating, understanding, kind, and generous with her time. I greatly enjoyed discussing classroom topics with her. She was very encouraging and professional." The same person goes on to say "Dr. Sainato's Honors colloquium has been my favorite class at Kent State so far. Thanks for making the class so enjoyable Dr. Sainato!"
Such comments echo the superb Honors teaching evaluations she has received over the years. They are evidence that Susan is always thinking freshly about her teaching. Susan Sainato embodies the best qualities of Honors teaching- a passion for her discipline, high quality standards for her students' work, and caring for and supporting her students as individuals.

It's less than a month until the general election. Are you ready? Have you done your homework and are you prepared to cast an informed vote?
The first step in casting an informed vote is to find out what is on the ballot. My advice is to get a sample ballot from the Election Board. A sample ballot will have every race and state question that you will see on the official ballot on election day. You can take your sample ballot with you to the polls and transfer your choices from the sample onto the official ballot. It makes things move along more quickly and efficiently.
As for the races on the ballot, you must decide for yourself who is the best candidate. Who do you see as most closely aligned with your beliefs and will do what he says he will do? In other words, "Is the candidate trustworthy?"
Then you have the state questions. Look them over carefully. Ask questions. As we have found out in the past, the intent on some state questions is not always obvious. There are 3 questions you should ask yourself when making you decisions. Is it right? Do we need it? Can we afford it? If you answer no to any of these 3 questions it's probably not a good idea.
How can you get answers to your questions? There are many sources of information. My favorite is to talk to the candidate themselves. Look up their voting record, if they have one. Talk to people who have dealt with them if you can. Be careful about listening to TV attack ads. As I have mentioned before, there's usually just enough truth in them that they are not a complete lie.
Go to the Push For A Better America or other local Tea Party meeting. We try to have timely topics on the agenda and speakers of current interest. And contrary to popular belief, Democrats and Independents are welcome and attend on a regular basis. Come out and see us on October 26, 2012, in Molina's Banquet Room. You may be pleasantly surprised.


text: Hi there! I just moved to Omaha, well Papillion actually. I am not currently pregnant but I will be trying in about a year. I am trying to figure out a good OB and Peri in the area. I would prefer someone closer to Papillion. I am not familiar with the area. What are the good hospitals? My first pregnancy went really smoothly, my BP only rose right at the end and I didn't get too high. My second daughter has Dandy Walker Malformation which means she has some enlarged ventricles in her brain. You would never know, she is doing wonderfully. I also had diet controlled Gestational Diabeties with her. With my baby I had a horrible doctor that didn't watch me like he should have. My blood pressure went up to 140/90, normally 90/60. I also have protein in my urine but he refused to run tests. I did preterm labor at 34 weeks which stopped and then I had him at 36 weeks. I am now suffering with horrible headaches and I cannot get my blood pressure to go below 125ish/75. It is very frustrating. So, with my history, I think I will want to see a peri at least for a consult. Any good OB's or Peri's? Thanks for your help.

GV Mobile+ for iPhone - app review
GV Mobile+ for iPhone made its first appearance in the app store a while back before it got quickly pulled, along with any other Google Voice type app. Google cried foul, the FCC got involved, and we saw no type of Google voice app for quite a while. Since Apple revised their App Store approval process, GV Mobile+ has made it's second debut in the App Store.
GV Mobile+ is one app you can use to connect to Google Voice. For those of you not familiar with the service, it basically allows you to choose a Google Voice phone number (free) with which you can use to forward calls to any number. The Google Voice service used to be under the name Grand Central. I think the Grand Central name was a little less confusing. Keep in mind, Google Voice is not a VoIP service, so you'll still use your plan minutes. The main idea behind it is you can give everyone one number and it'll forward all your calls to whatever number you choose.
One perk Google Voice does offer is free SMS. GV Mobile+ has an extremely nice layout which integrates your current address book and you'll be able to text anyone from your Google Voice number the same way you'd send a regular text via the Messages app. For a lot of people, this could be an excellent way to get rid of texting completely. I wouldn't recommend it just yet though. One big feature GV Mobile+ is lacking is push notifications. It's rather annoying to have to keep checking the app to see if you've received new messages. Push is supposed to be coming in an update. I'm not quite sure why it wasn't there upon launch. If you're really looking to ditch texting quickly, there are always workarounds. I currently use Notifo [iTunes Link] to send me push notifications for Google Voice. You can set it up online and it'll only take about 5 minutes of your time. Growl apps and other push services will also work just fine until GV Mobile+ is updated to support push.
The app is dead simple to use and even allows you to create a separate favorites list than the one in your current address book. The app gives you all the main features of Google voice in one neat package. Along the bottom you've got your dial pad (phone book), SMS, History, Voicemail, and Settings. When you place a call, your phone will ring (from yourself) and you'll simply answer and it'll connect the call. It's dead simple to use. SMS works just as you'd expect it, and voicemail sends down not only the audio but the translations as well.
Push is still a huge factor that keeps this app from being awesome. Once push is added, I think it'll be amazing. I've tested having someone leave a voicemail or texting my GV numher while I'm in the app and I'll get it pretty much instantly. If push will be that quick, I can see several people using this app as their main communication app. I know I would. Let's cross our fingers it comes quick!
As a side note, in my video I wasn't sure what call presentation did. As a helpful YouTube user pointed out, call presentation is the feature that asks unknown callers to state their name before it connects to you. You can then hear their name and choose to either accept or deny the call. Neat!
- Slick interface
- Easy to set up
- Extremely responsive (no crashes or failed calls as of yet)
- No push (yet)

GV Mobile+ for iPhone - app review
I use this same app but i got it through Cydia. there is a way to configure SMS messages to go directly to your email inbox. that way you get notified of any SMS, and by doing it this way you won't get charged as if you were to forward SMS to your phone.
@david I've been wishing all along that I could add my Google Voice to a "favorite" number on my account (i.e., a number I can call and receive calls from that is unlimited, like tmobile's fave 5's)... are you saying that there is a feature like this I can add to my ATT account? How did you get this "alist"?
you can always have GV send texts to your email as jglowe74 states and it works fine, also a nice app called Groundwire (which will run in the background on iOS4) will connect to some VOIP apps that GV is compatible with (SipGate, Gizmo5, etc) and offers excellent call quality allowing you to bypass your cell minutes and use it completely free, the app costs $10 but the call quality is far superior to most free VOIP apps. I have been using it to turn my iPad into a phone while on Wifi.
I hope you don't mind -- I'm going to be using the structure of this post as a basic anatomy for my review posts whenever that round comes about in the Next Top Blogger contest.
This is extremely well put together.
I DL'd the app and have tried it out a bit. A couple things that the review leaves out...
1) It really doesn't do anything other than the webapp, and I'd almost argue that the web app is faster with a better interface. Every time you click on something in GV Mobile it has to refresh the data...just like the web app.
2) The damn magic key error. If you are a user of multiple-account signin, you will get the magic key error until you turn the feature off. If you are like me (more than one person in the house on the same computer uses gmail / google apps), this is not worth having a standalone app for. For now, I'm sticking with the web app which as I said is surprisingly adequate.
I'm not angry about the purchase, the app does work well, I just don't see the benefit at this point. Maybe that would change with push added.
@matt. I use GV mobile+ from cydia store. And the number it calls back is your GV number. I have that number in my alist so those calls don't use minutes. I believe when you use the webapp it does what you said, as in assigning each contact a different number. Before JB for iPhone 4 came out and I had to use webapp. It didn't call me back using my GV number. It would dialout to some weird number, but it worked.
Basically using GV mobile+ or GV connect will callback using the GV number. Using the webapp won't.
With a little help from VoiceGrowl and the 2.99 Prowl App you can have push notifications. http://googlevoice.ub3rk1tten.com/voicegrowl/
The lack of push notifications is no surprise: it's not just a bit of code in the app. Push notifications require the developer to have a server dedicated to sending out the appropriate notifications (through Apple, but the developer's server still has to initiate all of them).
Not only is this quite a bit of work, but the server (or servers, if the app became popular enough) has to be maintained throughout the life of the app. That means. That you spend your three bucks now and the developer has to keep the server running forever, with you never paying a single upgrade fee or additional service fee.
As a result the developer has to be comfortable with a prediction that he will sell enough apps to make the server promise worthwhile. It's very possible that Google will re-submit their own Voice app and it will be approved; they'll likely give it away for free and if it's any good, suddenly sales of GV Mobile+ will drop to almost nothing. Despite that, the developer has made a promise that he'll keep providing those push notifications for free.
There are options: he can charge for notifications via in-app purchases, for example, but it's still a lot of work (even more work). I'm sure he hadn't planned any of this while the app was only available to jail breakers. Apple's turnaround was sudden, and the developer wisely decided to get his app back in the store ASAP.
Push notifications will logically take some time yet.

Grandparents usually look forward to spending time with their grandkids and are often the first call when parents need help with babysitting or time for themselves. While many grandparents are quite capable of overseeing their grandchildren, a refresher course in childcare and communication can offer resources grandparents may not have considered.
In a recent study conducted in Australia, researchers found that grandparents who participated in an updated grand-parenting program designed to encourage better communication between generations and give grandparents a parenting "refresher" course, reported fewer behavior problems among children.
"The main reason we wanted to focus on grandparents is that there still aren't that many parents getting involved with parenting programs," James Kirby, the study's lead author, told Reuters Health.
The new program is an updated version of a similar program called the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program that has been available for about 30 years. The sessions focus on parenting, the relationship between grandparents and parents and unhelpful emotions - such as anxiety, stress and anger. The program takes about 15 hours to complete. The newer version focuses on grandparents, last nine weeks and involves seven groups and two phone sessions.
For the new study, the researchers recruited 54 older people who were providing at least 12 hours of care per week to grandchildren who were between ages two and nine.
Twenty-eight grandparents were randomly assigned to participate in the program. The others served as a comparison group.
All of the grandparents and parents periodically completed questionnaires about the children's behavior, their own parenting styles and confidence and the grandparents' adjustment.
At the beginning of the study, all of the children scored similarly on a scale that measures the severity of behavior problems between 0 and 36 and the frequency of those problems between 36 and 252. Higher scores indicate worse behavior.
The children whose grandparents participated in the program began the study with an average behavior severity score of about 13 points and a frequency score of about 122 points. Those fell to about 7 and 101 points, respectively, after the program.
Among children whose grandparents didn't participate in the program, behavior severity scores remained the same at about 11 points throughout the study. Scores reflecting frequency of behavior problems increased from about 116 points at the start to about 119 at the end.
None of the average scores for either group reached the cutoff for clinical significance, however. At that point, children should possibly be examined for behavior disorders or other conditions.
The standout changes noted in the research were that the grandparents who participated in the study reported improved confidence and less depression, anxiety and stress, compared to those who didn't take part in the program. "We're helping with the grandparents' own mental health," Kirby said. "And - at the same time - we're also helping to reduce the child behavior problems."
Six month after the sessions, the results from the program continued to hold true.
The ultimate goal, Kirby said, is to create a shorter version of the program. But they're already in the process of turning the resources from their study into published resources for people to use.
"Don't undervalue the contribution of grandparents," Kirby said. "They can have a significant influence on the improvement of child behavior."
A lot has change since people of grand-parenting age raised their own children. Safety guidelines, such as making sure a baby sleeps on his or her back, have been updated, as well as other safety precautions that were not known twenty to thirty years ago. Parenting 101 courses are available in many cities and can be found through Internet searches or talking with a family doctor. These are great refresher courses for grandparents to check out.
Many families simply couldn't get by without the help of their parents. Grandparents around the world step up when called upon, sometimes raising their grandchildren when parents are either not able to or are no longer alive. They deserve a big hug and thank you. Oftentimes, they add a positive dimension to a child's development and life they would not otherwise receive.

The GefenToolBox 4x4 Matrix for HDMI 4Kx2K is a compact and lightweight alternative to rack-mounted matrixes. It allows up to four Ultra High Definition 4K x 2K or 1080p Full HD sources to be routed to up to four Ultra HD displays. This product supports resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K). Deep Color, 3DTV pass-through, and lossless audio formats such as LPCM 7.1, Dolby® TrueHD, and DTS-HD® Master Audio™ are also supported. Each Hi-Def source can be routed to any of the connected displays using the front panel push-button controls, the included IR remote, RS-232 serial control interface, or through IP, using Telnet, UDP, and the built-in web server interface. LED indicators on the top panel display the current routing status, FST mode, audio configuration, and EDID settings.
User Application: The Gefen ToolBox 4x4 Matrix is ideal for home theater systems, multiroom installations, retail establishments, sports bars, schools, museums, hospitals, hotel lobbies, and any other installations where Ultra High Definition HDCP-compliant AV content from up to 4 HDMI sources needs to be routed to up to four Ultra HD displays.
Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI products. FST eliminates the lengthy HDMI authentication process, and allows connecting/disconnecting or turning ON / OFF of HDTV displays without having these activities affect other displays in the same distribution system.
How It Works
Connect up to four Hi-Def sources to the HDMI inputs on the matrix, using HDMI cables. Connect up to four Ultra HD displays to the HDMI outputs. Connect an Ethernet cable from the network to the RJ-45 connector to use the built-in web server or Telnet/UDP capability to control routing, EDID management, and other functions. Connect an RS-232 cable between an automation control device such as Gefen EXT-PACS or GTB-MINI-PACS and the matrix. Connect the included locking power supply to the matrix and to an available electrical outlet. Apply power to the sources and displays. The HD sources can now be routed to the displays using the front panel push-buttons, IR remote control, RS-232, Telnet, UDP, or web server interface.

- Klimawandel (1) (remove)
- Global-scale estimation of diffuse groundwater recharge : model tuning to local data for semi-arid and arid regions and assessment of climate change impact (2005)
- Groundwater recharge is the major limiting factor for the sustainable use of groundwater. To support water management in a globalized world, it is necessary to estimate, in a spatially resolved way, global-scale groundwater recharge. In this report, improved model estimates of diffuse groundwater recharge at the global-scale, with a spatial resolution of 0.5° by 0.5°, are presented. They are based on calculations of the global hydrological model WGHM (WaterGAP Global Hydrology Model) which, for semi-arid and arid areas of the globe, was tuned against independent point estimates of diffuse groundwater recharge. This has led to a decrease of estimated groundwater recharge under semi-arid and arid conditions as compared to the model results before tuning, and the new estimates are more similar to country level data on groundwater recharge. Using the improved model, the impact of climate change on groundwater recharge was simulated, applying two greenhouse gas emissions scenarios as interpreted by two different climate models.

Quote from: CHB on March 20, 2010, 07:40:24 PMIt's a spiritual death Icedash. There is a spiritual death and a physical death. The way I understand it anyway.CHBWait a min, if our soul died, we will never come back because we cease to exist!
Icedash, you misunderstood me or I didn't explain myself very well.Here is an article about the "Second Death" that I thought was good, maybe it will help you get an idea as to what it is?http://www.goodnewsaboutgod.com/studies/seconddeath2.htmCHB
ADAM was told that IN THE DAY that he ate... he would SURELY DIE -- Gen 2:17 He did NOT die a natural/physical death on "the day he ate"... so what kind of "death" did he die? I believe SPIRITUAL, and that the RESURRECTION in CHRIST, is about SPIRITUAL re-birth, not physical.Adam's PHYSICAL death [second death] took place at 930th year of his life -- Gen 5:5

On November 5, the STB granted the City's request for a Declaratory Order from the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (STB). This action will institute a proceeding to determine whether the operation of an ethanol transloading facility within the City of Alexandria, Virginia, constitutes transportation by rail carrier and, therefore, is covered by the federal preemption provision. The decision also directs Norfolk Southern Railway Company to submit information in order to provide a more complete record before the STB.
