Last Wednesday started like many mornings for the "Stories of the Sharp Experience" film crew.
At 7 a.m., the crew members were told that the 8:30 cataract surgery they planned to film had to be rescheduled. So they headed to the emergency room at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center.
"We don't know what we may see here," director Arnie Lerner said as his eyes scanned the room.
Soon, paramedics rolled in with a young man suffering abdominal pain. He agreed to be filmed, and camera operator Kelly Parker unobtrusively began documenting his care.
Each year since 2001, Sharp HealthCare has produced a 30-minute program that tells five stories, in the style of a medical reality show that aims to portray the five-hospital system as a place that cares for its patients both medically and personally. Sharp buys time on local network affiliates to air the film and also uses footage for 30- and 90-second commercials.
The marketing strategy is unique among hospital systems in the San Diego region and apparently uncommon nationwide. Some hospital systems have produced shows on medical issues, but programs that follow patient stories appear to be rare.
"This is the first time I've heard about this approach, and I do think it's incredibly innovative," said Matt Fenwick, senior media relations director for the American Hospital Association.
Awards won
Since 2002, nine "Stories of the Sharp Experience" have aired, winning 17 regional Emmys in documentary, editing and directing categories from the Pacific Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Sharp calls the films documentaries because the emotional stories are unscripted and nothing is re-created, although the health system has control over content.
"We've found the community enjoys watching it and seeing what goes on at the hospitals," executive producer Rich Badami said. "The charm is that nothing is rehearsed, nothing is scripted and it's all told through the caregivers and the patients. There are no announcers, no CEO message, and no suits or managers."
The films are debuted in front of all 15,000 Sharp employees at an annual fall meeting, and segments are posted on the Sharp HealthCare website.

Instantly respond to employment verification requests and provide employees with secure access to their wage and employment data.
Spend time on human resources, not process administration.
i2Verify is an income and employment verification solution designed to provide instant access to employment and wage data. i2Verify automates the processing of wage and employment verification requests by instantly and securely delivering employment information that requestors like banks or government agencies rely on to make credit granting or benefit entitlement decisions.
i2Verify is free for employers, and reduces your HR team's administrative burden, allowing more time to focus on core competencies, reducing the risk for error, and eliminating possibility for fraud.
i2Verify takes care of the routine tasks, so you can focus on what matters.
The leading verification solution for modern HR groups.
We realize that all employers don't capture or store employee data in the same manner. At i2Verify, we customize our report format to mirror our client's internal reporting structure. We use their pay types, job titles, and wage classifications. We display multiple breaks in employment, job title and divisional changes, as well as detailed employee analytics. Our employment reports provide requestors with a detailed picture of an employee's wage and employment history, not just a boilerplate verification response.
Employment verification begins with an employee life event. When a verification request is received, it is imperative to your employee that your response is timely and accurate. Unlike most vendors, i2Verify does not delay our response to requestors in order to get paid for data. We also don't limit employee access / visibility into the verification process. Through the i2Verify employee portal, employees are allowed complete visibility into the verification process. Employees can limit or block access to their data, generate their own reports, or choose to be notified when someone views their data. With i2Verify your employees can finally take ownership of this important employee benefit.
We believe employee data is one of an organization's most valuable assets. At i2Verify, not only do keep your data secure by utilizing high-grade SSL encryption on transit and 256-bit AES encryption at rest, we employ multiple firewalls within our application as well powerful IDS and IPS systems. All in a data center that is SAS70 II certified. But that's only half the story, unlike other verification vendors, i2Verify does not resell your sensitive employee data to debt collectors or skip tracking companies.
We've migrated customers to i2Verify's solution from all of the major verification vendors. We are completely compatible with any of the multiple data formats being used by vendors today. In most cases, we can accept your current file without any changes whatsoever. If you haven't outsourced your verification program, we will provide a dedicated i2Verify IT resource that can assist you with the creation of a data feed, making on-boarding simple and cost effective.
i2Verify makes it easy for verifiers, employees, and employers to get live support whenever they need it. Our Massachusetts based support team is available live during business hours to support our users.
Many employers are surprised to find that even after they've decided to outsource their employment verification processing, they are still burdened with verification requests. This is due to the fact that most verification providers only offer a template verification response based on a standard data set which leaves many verification requests unanswered. At i2Verify, we take the time to understand the types of verification requests our clients are receiving. We then craft our verification response to meet the needs of each individual verifier.
We realize that life events requiring employment verification can take place anywhere, anytime. Employees not only have unlimited access and visibility into their employment information on i2Verify, we put it in the palm of their hands.

By Elizabeth Lancaster (@lizzydl)
Start sending in your resumes, ladies. One of the world's most talked about bachelors has finally acknowledged his desire to start a family – and it could be with you!
Talking up the Queen's Diamond Jubilee (which is a very big deal across the pond), Prince Harry opened up to ABC's Katie Couric about the many important women in in life, including his late mother Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth, but most intriguingly about the future mother of his children, whose identity is still TBD.
The hunky 27-year-old royal explained, "I've longed for kids since I was very, very young. And so I'm just waiting to find the right person, someone who's willing to take on the job."
While the obvious question is, "Who the heck wouldn't be up for it?" Harry also revealed that there aren't any current candidates. "I don't have anyone" the young heir explained, having finally split for good from his longtime on-and-off girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
Now, that he has made this public proclamation about his desires for the future, we are sure many suitable ladies would line up for a shot at this "job."
Earlier this year, in an interview in Brazil, Harry told the press "Being 27 now, and doing this tour solo, I've always said that it would probably be easier as a couple." So this is no fleeting thought – Harry is ready to follow in his older brother's footsteps and find a Kate Middleton of his very own. But who will it be?
Who would you like to see Prince Harry end up with? Let us know in the comments below!

Any guess on how the real cold affects spoke tentions? I've trued the front wheel, for a bike I ride most everyday (commute) and I had to true it again last night. I also broke like the 5th spoke on the damn thing. It is getting to be annoying.
I've taken it all the way back to a couple turns showing at the nipple and then went through every spoke tightening them a little at a time, until the wheel was round then went to true, checked the dish, the round and got it spot on. I even added a 1/4 twist to the spokes to make sure they were tight. (this is the third time I've trued this wheel)
This should do it, right? I'll know tonight as it will be in the sub-zero temps when I ride for home.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Ian Robinson and the English Tradition
Ferns, John, Modern Age
REVIEWING Ian Robinson's The English Prophets: A Critical Defence of English Criticism (2001) in The Cambridge Quarterly (2002), Mark Le Fanu writes:
Why this truly cultivated author is so little known nationally is a mystery. In a writing career stretching over thirty years, he has published a large number of essays, along with major books on Chaucer, on the Anglican liturgy, and on the development of modern English prose. A superb study on the recent reforms in higher education came out a couple of years ago ... A general tone of suavity, combined with a total lack of class animosity, are two of the most admirable things about Robinson's writing: he is absolutely not a sectarian. And yet he is passionate, as prophets must be.... Far more than better-known journalists and commentators, he exemplifies the tradition he is elucidating. (1)
Duke Maskell, who collaborated with Robinson on The New Idea of a University, as well as following him as editor of The Gadfly (1984-86), makes the point that though Terry Eagleton is thought of as a radical, the real radical is Ian Robinson. (2) However, if Robinson is not well known in England, it is not, perhaps, surprising that he is not well known in North America, yet he ought to be because most of what he says to England can be equally well said to the United States and Canada.
Throughout his writings, Robinson is a critic of language. Opening his best-known book, The Survival of English: Essays in Criticism of Language (1973), he writes, "My subject is the connection of the primitive human shaping activity with verbal language, the human reason as it lives in words. The book is all about different examples of the interplay between language and life." (3) Another of Robinson's books that Le Fanu does not mention is The New Grammarian's Funeral: A Critique of Chomsky's Linguistics (1973), which should be better known. Unlike Chomsky, Robinson has a Wittgenstinian view of the working of language. He argues that "when we think in language that's exactly what we do: not think separately then translate the thought into language.... I am following Wittgenstein in arguing not for natural connection between word and idea but for identity. The word properly heard or said to oneself, is the idea...." (4)
Also, Robinson argues that Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, author of the Book of Common Prayer, anticipates Wittgenstein's understanding of language. In his Holy Communion liturgy Cranmer shows no difference between signifier and signified; Christ is really present with us in the bread and the wine. Elsewhere, Robinson argues that "Cranmer does really differ from both Rome and Zwingli." (5) He shows that "Cranmer depends on an understanding of signs resembling the views of language I have found in Wittgenstein.... Cranmer's doctrine allows the signified and the signifier to be one." (6)
Robinson is the best disciple and the best critic of his mentor, F. R. Leavis (1895-1978). He was a student of Leavis's at Downing College, Cambridge from 1955 to 1958. He published some of Leavis's later writings in The Human World, the quarterly Robinson edited from 1970 to 1974 and which he calls, "English criticism in action." (7) Throughout his literary criticism, Robinson discusses the tradition of classic works of English literature that Leavis did so much to establish but from an increasingly different point of view. In The Survival of English Robinson wrote, "I, who am not a Christian" (8) but in Prayers for the New Babel (1983) he makes clear his Christianity, which differs sharply from Leavis's unorthodox religious sense of life. Also, Robinson sees the tradition of classic works of English literature as beginning earlier than Leavis does.
In Chaucer and the English Tradition (1972) Robinson writes, "Dr. Leavis has, I think, written about every other great poet." (9) Leavis's quarterly Scrutiny (1932-53) did publish a critic of Chaucer, John Speirs (author of Chaucer the Maker [1951]), who Robinson quotes: "'The place of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight--and because it is a great poem it is a central place--is in the English tradition. …

The conditions could have been better. The Harbour City could have had one of its famously blue sky days, the Australian dollar could have been more stable and the country's politicians could have deposed the prime minister another time.
But against this backdrop of grey clouds and turmoil, the sale of 89 Australian artworks from the collection of TV game show doyen Reg Grundy and his wife, Joy Chambers-Grundy, still earned a stunning $19.16 million in Sydney on Wednesday night.
Grossing $15.7 million under the hammer, against earlier estimates of $15.5 million to $20.8 million and with 13 works still under negotiation, the total sale, including auctioneers Bonhams' fees, made it Australia's most valuable single-owner art auction yet.
''All things considered, I think it was a very good result,'' the Grundy Collection's curator, John Cruthers, said.
''You do best when you have a run of OK news … but you don't want a whole lot of little things that create a sense of uncertainty, doubt, concern, and I think that's what we got.''
The top performer was Fred Williams' You Yangs Landscape 1, 1963, which sold to a Sydney art dealer, Andrew Shapiro, for $1.875 million under the hammer, to a total premium sale of $2,287,500.
Shapiro said he was buying for a private collector ''who just collects'' Australian masterpieces. The painting, like all five that Shapiro bought that night, was bound for a private home. At one point there was hope that the piece, which marked a turning point in Williams' career, might end up with a public institution. Before the auction, the National Gallery of Victoria would not be drawn on whether it was interested, but Fred Williams' widow, Lyn, later said she hoped it would eventually make its way into a major gallery.
While it's thought the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of Western Australia and the Art Gallery of New South Wales were among the auction's institutional bidders, Bonhams chairman Mark Fraser said the biggest surprise of the night was the volume of interest from overseas.
As part of its marketing, Bonhams not only toured the collection nationally but also took it to London. ''We're just finding the global reach of the Australian art market has just increased enormously in the last few years,'' he said. ''A substantial, really substantial number of bids were coming from America, Europe and the UK. I think parochial has gone.''
The next-biggest performer was John Brack's The New House from 1953, which went for a premium sale of $1.952 million ($1.6 million under the hammer).
It once took pride of place at the front of the auction room in the Overseas Passenger Terminal overlooking Sydney Harbour next to another John Brack from 1953, The Jockey and his Wife, which sold for more than expected at $1.159 million ($950,000 under the hammer). Again, Andrew Shapiro was the buyer.
The two paintings could well be a reflection of the bliss Grundy and his wife have had in their long marriage, living in Bermuda, where they wanted to ''simplify their life'' by shedding the artwork. Even so, neither of them attended the auction. Joy Chambers-Grundy was said to have been emotional about parting with the paintings.
One work, a John Brack drawing from 1956 entitled Footballers, was withdrawn from sale at the last moment after the Grundys realised they would have no other Brack left in their collection of 60 works.
The sale marked the culmination of a 30-year relationship for the Grundys and Cruthers. The Sydney-based, WA-born art consultant admitted to a sense of nostalgia just before the sale as he realised the collection the trio had worked on together for so long would soon disperse.
There were some disappointments: a work by 19th century painter Eugene von Guerard failed to meet the reserve with a price tag of $900,000-$1.2 million. Ian Fairweather's Gamelan also failed to sell, despite being close to the lower estimate of $700,000 to $900,000. However, the Grundys have much else to be satisfied with as records tumbled for works by Herbert Badham, Margaret Preston, Tony Tuckson, Rosalie Gascoigne and Narelle Jubelin, among others.
Poignantly, Jeffrey Smart's Luxury Cruise fetched $550,000 under the hammer - $150,000 higher than the top estimate for the work.

March 2, 2011
Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
AMHERST, Mass. - After shooting 48 percent from the floor in regulation, UMass shot 1-of-10 in overtime while Temple finished the game by making 18-of-21 free throws to defeat the Minutemen, 73-67 on Senior Night at the Mullins Center on Wednesday night. In a game that saw 11 lead changes, seven came after the 8:14 mark of the second half as UMass had its streak of seven-straight Senior Night victories snapped. Senior Anthony Gurley led all scorers with 25 points.
With a win on Saturday against Fordham, the Minutemen would host a first round Atlantic 10 playoff game that would be played on Tuesday, March 8 at either 5 PM, 7 PM or 9 PM.
In the extra period, Temple received field goals from T.J. DiLeo at the 4:20 mark and Lavoy Allen at the 3:04 mark and made 2-of-4 free throws in the final 30 seconds, while UMass got its only points on a Javorn Farrell lay-up with 20 seconds left.
Gurley scored 17 of his 25 points in the first half and shot 5-of-13 from 3-point range, while Javorn Farrell added 13 points and Gary Correia dished out six assists.
Temple was led by Juan Fernandez with 19 points, while Lavoy Allen registered a double-double with 14 points and 18 rebounds.
Temple had a chance to win the game in regulation, but Sampson Carter blocked Juan Fernandez' shot with two seconds left to send the Minutemen to overtime for the first time this season, tied 65-65.
A Gurley 3-pointer with 2:50 remaining tied the game 60-60, exactly one minute later, at 1:50, Gary Correia hit a 3-pointer to give the Minutemen a 63-62 lead, and Gurley hit the final field goal of regulation, a lay-up with 1:12 left that gave UMass a 65-64 lead, but Temple, who went without a field goal in the final 6:07 of regulation, made 9-of-10 free throws in that stretch.
After leading by four at the half, UMass' lead stayed between three and six points for the first 9:48 of the second half until the Owls went on an 8-1 run between the 10:12 and 8:14 marks, with a Fernandez 3-pointer giving the road club its first lead of the half, 54-52.
After UMass led for the first 12 minutes of the game, Temple took its first lead on a T.J. DiLeo lay-up, 19-18 with 7:18 left in the half, but after two more lead changes, the Minutemen took the lead for the rest of the half when Gurley scored five-straight points, on a 3-pointer and a baseline floater with 1:52 left, and the senior guard sent his team into halftime with a 34-30 lead on a 25-foot 3-pointer with two seconds left.
Gurley led all scorers with 17 first-half points, including 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc. The Minutemen shot 47 percent in the first half, while Temple shot 38 percent and was led by Aaron Brown's 10 points.
Gurley made back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Minutemen an early seven-point lead, 13-6 with 14:53 remaining in the first half. The senior scored nine of the team's first 16 points while seniors accounted for 14 of those first 16.
Prior to the game, a Senior Night ceremony was held honoring Hashim Bailey, Correia, Gurley, and Matt Hill.
The Minutemen close the regular season on Saturday with a 1 p.m. game at Fordham's Rose Hill Gym against the Rams.

With more than 1,000 voters weighing in, the Internet has spoken and you are more interested in seeing Iron Maiden than Bruce Springsteen this summer. This is a bit of a surprise as the Boss has been one of the biggest sellers on Ticket Liquidator for the past several years. But it appears the heavy metal fans out there are fired up to see Steve Harris and company finally hit the road in the U.S. Iron Maiden is well known for selling an incredible number of records with limited mainstream promotion, so seeing their dedicated fans take out the Boss is not as shocking as it might seem on the surface. Iron Maiden are going on one of the most extensive US tours in ages, and it looks like fans are eager to see them live.
In today's matchup, rockers Coldplay take on Roger Waters and his The Wall tour in a battle that pits two of the biggest music acts to come ever come out of Britain against each other. Waters has been performing the complete performance of Pink Floyd's legendary album The Wall since 2010, but by looking at sales it seems his support is as passionate as ever. Along his 2012 Tour he's hitting up some interesting venues like Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium.
A newer performer when compared to Waters, Coldplay has nonetheless been one of the biggest bands in rock since they burst onto the scene with the hit-single Yellow in 2000. Both performers have a legion of fans who can't wait to see them live, so expect this to be another heated battle. Be sure to vote for who you would rather see live on the Ticket Liquidator Facebook Page.

10 July, Brussels – Today, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have taken a significant step forward in the race against the massive harm that smoking causes to millions in Europe. In a vote on the revised EU Tobacco Product Directive (TPD), the European Parliament's Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) supported stronger measures to prevent young Europeans from taking up smoking and encourage millions of smokers to quit.
People living in Europe need law-makers capable to withstand narrow interest groups and stand up to protect the health of their constituents. The ENVI Committee has demonstrated it understands this by showing real commitment to tackle the single largest avoidable health risk in the EU.
After today's vote, the ENVI Committee has endorsed the increase of pictorial warnings covering 75% of the pack (front and the back); a ban on the use of cigarette flavours including menthol; and the removal of slim cigarettes from the market – all features targeting young smokes and in particular girls. The ENVI Committee has also supported the classification of e-cigarettes as medical products but has rejected amendments on plain packaging.
MEPs have set today a solid stepping stone in the journey to better safeguard the health of millions crudely exposed to the marketing tricks of the tobacco industry. Putting it plainly, today is a win for public health.
Tobacco smoking kills 1 in every 2 of its long-term users. The EU has one of the world's highest proportions of deaths attributed to tobacco use: 16% of all deaths of Europeans age 30 and above are because of tobacco. Tobacco is also one of the leading causes of several types of noncommunicable diseases, like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Now the ball is in the court of the Plenary of the European Parliament, which will vote on the revised TPD endorsed today by the ENVI Committee in September. It is crucial that the Plenary reinforces the public health-friendly approach taken by the ENVI committee. A strong tobacco legislation would be an excellent legacy for MEPs before next year's elections to the European Parliament.
Following this decisive vote, the EP will have to reach an agreement with the EU Health Ministers. If the approval of the tobacco legislation does not occur by the end of the year, it would put its adoption dangerously close to the European Parliament's elections next year, putting the hard-fought political process back to square one.

A Day in the Life of a Middle School Cadet
Just as the sun's rays begin to reach over the horizon, "Reveille" blasts over the loudspeaker, letting the boys know that it's time to rise and shine. Shaking off the vestiges of their eight hour shut-eye, the boys crawl out of their beds to begin their morning routine. They trudge down the hall to take care of business. Teeth are brushed, faces are washed, some have the beginnings of a mustache that needs to be shaved. Then, it's back to their rooms to begin the process of cleaning their quarters. Roommates work together to sweep the floor, empty the trash can, straighten their belongings, and make their beds. In almost robotic fashion, these duties are accomplished in preparation for the room inspection that they know will be coming later in the morning as they are sitting in their classes. The Middle School Commandant of Cadets expects everything to be in its rightful place.
With rooms clean, the cadets form up outside on the Middle School Circle at attention and in formation. Upon an accounting for each and every cadet, the Middle School Battalion Commander, an eighth grade top-of-the-line leader, marches his charges to the dining hall for breakfast. The cadets then move en masse to the Middle School's Study Hall, a large assembly room filled with desks that fits the entire Cadet Corps…and then some. The Middle School Headmaster, mustering as much enthusiasm as possible, does his best to rally the cadets behind the upcoming events of the day, and throws in a mini-character lesson along with the morning announcements. Called to attention, the boys pledge their allegiance to the United States of America, and then they march dutifully off to their 1st period classes, but first stop off at their hallway lockers to get their books and necessary school supplies. First period always begins with the reading of a devotional and a morning prayer to get the day started on a positive note.
English, math, science, social studies, and health and physical education fill a cadet's academic day. The schedule might also include art, drama, foreign language, and perhaps even a resource or E.S.L class. Class sizes for academic courses rarely rise above fifteen; most hover around ten. Cadets get to know their teachers well, and vice versa. Relationships are built which provide cadets the freedom to ask questions, explore thoughts and ideas, and to even engage in good hearted banter. Teachers pepper the class period with a blend of lecture, group work, hands-on projects, seat work, and, of course, the occasional quiz or test.
Afternoons hold a variety of activities for the boys. Twice a week they practice marching during drill sessions with the Commandant. Leadership classes are held during this time, as well, during colder, inclement weather days. Twice a week after the academic day, cadets attend chapel services to help them understand and, hopefully, embrace the Christian faith on which the Academy was founded. Also twice a week, cadets have the opportunity to avail themselves to Extra Help sessions with their teachers. For some, this isn't an option but a requirement.
Mondays through Thursdays, from 3:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m., all cadets are involved in supervised athletics. Most participate on organized athletic teams; some participate in a less rigorous intramural program. But all receive a good dose of physical activity through their afternoon activities. Shower time is followed by dinner time. Having worked up a good appetite, the cadets again line up in formation, offer a prayer of thanksgiving, and march off to the dining hall for a full-course dinner.
After dinner, cadets enjoy a bit of free time until the bell for mandatory Study Hall sounds. The mad rush of cadets enters the Study Hall a minute or so before 7:00 p.m., with books, school supplies, and assignments in tow. They take their assigned desk and proceed to get to work. The sound of pencils on paper, books opening and closing, and the stifled cough are the only sounds heard…though the occasional ill-timed whisper, followed immediately by the Study Hall monitor's admonishment, sometimes disrupts the flow of information from book to brain.
As Study Hall nears to its end, eyes make contact with the clock on the wall at the front of the room with increasing frequency. A cadet clears his throat in a bit of an exaggerated manner, alerting the Study Hall monitor that he and his fellow cadets are ready to be let free. Upon the order for dismissal, the cadets file out of the Study Hall, put their books away in their lockers, and head back to the Middle School Barracks to enjoy a brief moment of free time before bedtime. After a bit of visiting friends on the hallway, teeth are brushed, uniforms are hung up, and the boys get ready for bed. "Taps" wafts through the Barracks over the loudspeaker, signifying that the day is done. Eyes close, and sleep overtakes the cadets until the familiar sound of "Reveille" springs them yet again into a new day.
Very few teenage boys can begin to relate to the schedule followed by the Middle School cadet at Fork Union Military Academy. Every day is filled with activity…from sun up until sundown. And with each activity, attention is paid to helping cadets in their development of "Body, Mind, and Spirit", the Academy's motto. In following such a rigorous schedule, the boys learn self-reliance but also benefit from a program that stresses the value of working together as a team. The teaching, coaching, and mentoring provided to these young men by the adults in their midst provide much needed support and help them to more fully realize their potential…and build on the foundation already laid by their parents. By the time a cadet completes his eighth grade year at the Middle School, he stands proudly ready to take on the rigors of high school.
A parent sent the following testimonial regarding his son at the end of this past school year: "The amount of character, self-discipline and maturity F.U.M.A. has given my son is an immeasurable gift. This is not possible in most schools! His self-image, confidence and goal-oriented focus are 360 degree turnarounds from the day he first set foot on campus. No matter WHAT a kid's potential is - whether athletic ability, intelligence, or charisma - they can stumble, fall or completely FAIL if they do not learn the life skills that F.U.M.A. instills. Thank you for giving my son what was hidden so deep inside him...a confident, personable, bright, ambitious SUCCESS STORY!! I can't wait to 'read' the next chapter of his promising future at F.U.M.A. and beyond!"

Vagalume 0.6 for Windows released
Thanks to the work of Luis Garcia Rio (who has also been working on the OpenMoko port), we have just released Vagalume 0.6 for MS Windows.
In case you've never heard about it before, Vagalume is a Last.fm client designed for the Maemo platform. More info here.
Please note that this is an experimental release and doesn't contain the complete set of features. It might also be more unstable than the GNU/Linux version. We'd like to hear about your problems with this version in the mailing lists.
Vagalume for Windows has been tested on XP and Vista. Here are screenshots of both versions (click to enlarge):
To use Vagalume in Windows, you need to install:
- The gtk2 runtime.
- GStreamer including all gst-plugins-* packages (base, good, bad and ugly).
Some important notes:
- When installing GStreamer, you will be asked whether to use the existing GLib installation or to install a new one. Choose no to use the existing installation.
- When installing Vagalume, you will be asked whether to install an icon theme. If in doubt, choose Yes.
Go here to download Vagalume for Windows. There are two different installers, the full and the minimal installer.
Both will ask you to install GTK+ and GStreamer (just choose no if you have already installed them). The difference is that the full version comes with both packages, while the minimal version will point you to their respective web pages.
To uninstall Vagalume, go to the Windows control panel.
As usual, comments and suggestions are welcome.
Regarding Vagalume 0.7, we're fixing a couple of bugs that we've recently found. It will be out soon.
Update: 23 Jan 2009
Vagalume for Windows can now be found here.
Use this link to trackback from your own site.
Cool! 🙂
[…] Planet Maemo: Vagalume 0.6 for Windows released http://blogs.igalia.com/berto/2008/08/18/vagalume-06-for-windows-released/ […]
[…] Regarding the MS Windows version, it's still experimental. Vagalume 0.7 for Windows is not ready yet, but we'll try to release some packages soon. […]
Is this 0.6 version for Windows still available, because the download link is dead.
Thanks for pointing out the broken link, I have updated the post. The Windows version can be found here. Note that it's still experimental.
Can you please provide instructions on how to build the Windows version? I would like to compile the latest 7.1 version from source.
Pieter: the Windows version is old and unmaintained, and the Window patch was never merged into trunk; however, if you still want to play with the sources, go here:

North Korean threats
It's difficult to find historical examples similar to the events developing on the Korean peninsula, which appear to be standard "saber rattling" like we've seen before. Nevertheless, stakes are greater than earlier eras since 1953. North Korea has nuclear weapons and missiles that can reach Seoul and Tokyo. PRK rhetoric would lead one to believe they can reach further. But adapting a "nuke" warhead to a ballistic missile – with the accuracy required for international flight – has not been proven yet. So far, new dictator Kim Il Un has proved to be committed to intransigence, and Western intelligence is unclear on his stability. Chinese agreement with United Nation sanctions – and recent troop maneuvers on the border – should send a worrisome signal to the PRK. How Un will react is not clear. In the meantime, the White House continues its anti-gun campaign with no official nod to events in the Western Pacific. Where will we be when the shooting starts with our sequestered deployments? - G.R. Worthington, Chula Vista
Regarding North Korea's threat for a nuclear strike to the United States: Why in the world do we have three aircraft carriers docked at North Island NAS?
Lucky for Kim Jong Un, there is a U.S. Navy photo on the front page of U-T San Diego (April 4) indicating the target area for his missiles. Do any of our present Navy planners recall the events of Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941? - Michael O'Brien, Linda Vista
Skewing climate facts
In response to the op-ed by National Review writer Rich Lowry ("The new deniers on climate change," April 3), I have to disagree with him. Nobody is denying worldwide temperatures have remained flat for the past few years. As an advocate for right wing causes, the National Review is again presenting its one-sided view to mislead the public. In fact, last year was the hottest year on record in the U.S. He failed to mention that in the Economist article he was citing they said "But it does not mean global warming is a delusion." The fact is temperatures between 2000 and 2010 are still almost 1C above their level in the first decade of the 20th century and although this recent flat lining of temperatures is an unexplained hiatus it does not mean we no longer face global warming. This is a world average and since most of the world is water this average is being skewed to a flat line range by cooler surface ocean temperatures. Problem is 10 feet down the ocean is measuring higher temperatures. - Jeffrey Meyer, Poway
Measure is wolf in sheep's clothing
Wasn't it Shakespeste who wrote "The Devil can cite scripture for his purpose"? Yes indeed! And the two juxtaposed articles in Thursday's U-T ("Views split on measure's intent" Opinion, April 4) certainly prove the point.
The articles concern Assembly Bill 343 which would require anyone who willfully photographs or videotapes animal cruelty to turn such information over to law enforcement within 48 hours or face a criminal offense. The bill is backed by the California Cattleman's Association. I read this article first and at the end was completely convinced of the wisdom behind AB 343 and the "filled with pride" humanity of the cattleman who wrote it.
However, after reading the second article, it became clear which side is supported by the Devil and which by the Angels. AB 343 is a devilishly clever attempt to minimize transparency of animal abuse masked as its exact opposite; a real wolf in sheep's clothing. Unfortunately virtually all industry supported legislation falls under a similar umbrella of hypocrisy. - David Bostick, Chula Vista

So what is different about this year's CMA conference? They decided to cut, cut and cut some more.

The arm of the North Sea today known as the The Wash extended much farther inland during prehistoric times. Lying between sea and land, this area was alternately inundated and exposed , as it filled with deposits of peat, silt, and sea clay. It was encircled by a rim of low hills. The present geographic county comprises much of this that rim, together with the southern half of the inlet, now drained and reclaimed to form the Fens. Here and there low ridges, which break the flatness of the Fens, represent former islands. The largest of them, the Isle of Ely, formed a safe retreat for Englishmen, led by Hereward the Wake, who opposed William I the Conqueror and his invading Normans.
The geographic county is crossed by two major rivers: the Nene and the Ouse (or Great Ouse), with its tributary the Cam. As these have been were progressively regularized and embanked, the surface of the county has become became available for agriculture. Crop specialization is well developed, with cereals grown on the chalky eastern rim. Cereals, potatoes, sugar beets (processed at Ely town), and vegetables are grown on the Fens; , and fruits for canning and jam making are produced on the slopes of the former islands and around Wisbech.
Apart from the widely scattered food industries is the geographic county's main manufacturing centre, Peterborough, whose recent expansion from the mid-20th century both in population and in engineering industries has been remarkable. Cambridge possesses light industries, including scientific instruments and electronics. The hilly rim along the southern edge of the county falls within the residential commuter belt both of Cambridge itself, with its large university population, and of London, 40–50 40 to 50 miles (70–80 70 to 80 km) to the south.
Prehistoric tracks and other archaeological finds indicate a prolonged occupation of the area ringing the Fens, which were a swampy expanse in prehistoric times. Under the Romans the Cam valley was the most heavily settled area, but and the Romans apparently also began the drainage of the Fens. Anglo-Saxon settlement of the area began in the 5th century. The county lay at the edge of the Danelaw and was contested from the 9th through the 11th century by the Danes and the Saxons. Beginning in the Middle Ages, the historic county and the neighbouring county of Huntingdonshire were administered by a single sheriff. The founding of the University of Cambridge in the 13th century made the town of Cambridge one of England's most important intellectual centres, and the drainage of the Fens, virtually completed by the middle of the 17th century, brought large new areas under pasturage and cultivation. The historic county's major architectural landmarks are the splendid cathedral of Ely and the university buildings in Cambridge. Area administrative county, 1,176 square miles (3,046 square km); geographic county, 1,308 square miles (3,387 square km). Pop. (2005 est.2001) administrative county, 588552,900658; geographic county, 725,192708,719; (2011) adminstrative county, 621,210; geographic county, 804,841.

In 1999 a group of friends started meeting at Carambola in Waltham for lunch on a weekly basis. We were all in the software industry and experiencing the direction the industry was going we talked about forming our own business. Our research found that Small Off and Home Office (SOHO) businesses had been hard hit by the economy and were being overcharged for services provided by big business.
As we plotted our escape from the grips of horrible management practices that produced buggy products, we found SOHO businesses didn't always understand their market and who their customers were. We also found a large number of these businesses were being over charged for hosting and services for their web sites.
And The Bola Group was born

Bubbleberg News LP: Why We Are Plagued With Drivel Masquerading As Financial Reporting
One of the evils of massive over-financialization is that it enables Wall Street to scalp vast "rents" from the Main Street economy. These zero sum extractions not only bloat the paper wealth of the 1% but also fund a parasitic bubble finance infrastructure that would largely not exist in a world of free market finance and honest money.
The infrastructure of bubble finance can be likened to the illegal drug cartels. In that dystopic world, the immense revenue "surplus" from the 1000-fold elevation of drug prices owing to government enforced scarcity finances a giant but uneconomic apparatus of sourcing, transportation, wholesaling, distribution, corruption, coercion, murder and mayhem that would not even exist in a free market. The latter would only need LTL trucking lines and $900 vending machines.
In this context, the sprawling empire known as Bloomberg LP is the Juarez Cartel of bubble finance. Its lucrative 320,000 terminals and profit-rich $10 billion in revenue are not purely a testament to the extraordinary inventive genius of Michael Bloomberg The Younger. In fact, Bloomberg's 1981 invention owed a huge debt of gratitude to Richard Nixon and Milton Friedman. It was they who destroyed the Bretton Woods regime of anchored money and global financial discipline that made "Bloombergs" necessary.
Let me explain. Under the fixed exchange rate regime of Bretton Woods—ironically, designed mostly by J.M. Keynes himself with help from Comrade Harry Dexter White—there was no $4 trillion daily currency futures and options market; no interest rate swap monster with $500 trillion outstanding and counting; no gamblers den called the SPX futures pit and all its variants, imitators, derivatives and mutations; no ETF casino for the plodders or multi-trillion market in "bespoke" (OTC) derivatives for the fast money insiders. Indeed, prior to Friedman's victory for floating central bank money at Camp David in August 1971 there were not even any cash settled equity options at all.
The world of fixed exchange rates between national monies ultimately anchored by the solemn obligation of the US government to redeem dollars for gold at $35 per ounce was happily Bloomberg-free for reasons that are obvious—albeit long forgotten. Importers and exporters did not need currency hedges because the exchange rates never changed. Interest rate swaps did not exist because the Fed did not micro-manage the yield curve. Consequently, there were no central bank generated inefficiencies and anomalies for dealers to arbitrage. Stated differently, interest rate swaps are "sold" not bought, and no dealers were selling.
There were also natural two-way markets in equities and bonds because the (peacetime) Fed did not peg money market rates or interpose puts, props and bailouts under the price of capital securities. This means that returns to carry trades and high-churn speculation were vastly lower than under the current regime of monetary central planning. Financial gamblers could not buy cheap S&P puts to hedge long positions in mo-mo trades, for example, meaning that free market profits from speculative trading (i.e. hedge funds) would have been meager. Indeed, the profit from "trading the dips" is a gift of the Fed because the underlying chart pattern—mild periodic undulations rising from the lower left to the upper right–is an artifice of central bank bubble finance.
And, in fact, so are all the other distincitive features of the modern equity gambling halls—index baskets, cash-settled options, ETFs, OTCs, HFTs. None of these arose from the free market; they were enabled by central bank promotion of one-way markets—that is, the Greenspan/Bernanke/Yellen "put". The latter, in turn, is a product of the hoary doctrine called "wealth effects" which would have been laughed out of court by officials like William McChesney Martin who operated in the old world of sound money.
In short, Wall Street's triumphalist doctrine—claiming that massive financialization of the economy is a product of market innovation and technological advance—is dead wrong. We need "bloombergs" not owing to the good fortune of high speed computers and Blythe Master's knack for financial engineering; we are stuck with them owing to the bad fortune that Nixon and then the rest of the world adopted Milton Friedman's flawed recipe for monetary central planning.
Needless to say, the parabolic rise in financial sector profits from about 1.25% of GDP prior to Camp David to 4.25% of GDP today—call it a round $500 billion per year—is only the tip of the ice-berg. What lies beneath, according to the Commerce Department numbers crunchers, is "value-added" of some $3.75 trillion in the FIRE sector (finance, insurance and real estate), which generates the aforementioned accounting profits and consists primarily of compensation.
Here the uplift is even more dramatic. The FIRE sector's 800 basis point gain from 14% of GDP in 1970 to 22% at present rounds to about $1.4 trillion. That's the bloat from financialization—which is to say, the infrastructure of bubble finance. Embedded in that bloat is everything from the running cost of fund-of-funds and family offices (i.e. private chefs, "investor" conferences at tony resorts etc.) to the vast network of bankers, brokers, appraisers, title insurers, settlement lawyers and escrow agents that tend the home mortgage churning machine.
In the latter case, the untoward impact of financialization on the world of George Bailey's Savings and Loan can not be gainsaid. Back then, people took out mortgages and paid them off a bit at a time over 30 years owing to the fact that there was no basis for today's serial "mortgage refi". On the free market, mortgages would either carry floating rates or have embedded call protection on fixed rates.
Moreover, the basis for today's serial refi would not exist. Interest rates would have no directional trend in an environment where they represent the market clearing price, balancing the supply of savings and the demand for loanable funds.
By contrast, the artificial downward-sloping trend in mortgage rates in recent decades has been an intentional outcome of the Fed's interest rate rigging policies designed to goose housing prices and spur homebuilding. During the 55 months that elapsed between Lehman's failure and April 2013, for instance, the Freddie Mac reference rate for 30-year mortgages dropped almost linearly from 6.5% to 3.3%.
As it happened, this massive inducement to home-borrowing did not generate much lift in the home-building sector because the stock of residential homes is massively over-built from the first housing bubble. But it did generate a substantial "refi" wave owing to the sheer math of mortgage finance. Indeed, Bernanke-Yellen regime have made no bones about their alleged success in driving down the 10-year treasury benchmark rate and thereby reflating the housing market.
In truth, the monetary politburo induced nothing more than another round of mortgage churn among a small sub-set of existing homeowners. There are approximately 115 million households in the US—40 million of which are renters and 25 million own their homes free and clear. Yet even among the 50 million households with mortgages, upwards of 25 million are still under-water or do not have enough positive equity to cover transactions costs and meet today's more stringent loan-to-value requirements.
So at the end of the day, the refi churn machine has arbitrarily conferred debt service relief on a randomly selected sub-set of perhaps 10-20% of households—many of which have engaged in serial refi for several decades now. This serves no evident principle of public policy based on need or merit. But that doesn't matter to the monetary central planners. Their only goal is to stimulate GDP as measured by the government stat mills—even if what they are measuring is more bloat from financialization.
In fact, that's about all the Fed's housing stimulus is now generating. For nearly 40 years, household mortgage borrowing did stimulate measured GDP. During that span the ratio of debt/wage and salary income was ratched-up by periodic Fed reflations from a pre-1970 level of about 80 percent to a peak of 210% by 2007.
But now that "peak" debt has been reached and the household leverage ratio has fallen back slightly to about 180%, what the Fed's ministrations produce is only a tepid amount of GDP from financialization; that is, we get a dollop of GDP from the pointless churning of home mortgages—a financial engineering process that does not create new wealth, but simply siphons existing wealth into activity among loan brokers, appraisers and real estate attorneys that the BEA is pleased to call GDP.
Indeed, the elephant in the room lurking behind the rising FIRE line in the graph above is the nation's current $59 trillion in credit market debt. At 3.5 turns of GDP it represents a vast aberration of bubble finance, and compares to a healthy ratio of 1.5 turns that prevailed for more than a century before 1971.
These two extra turns of combined household, business, finance and government debt are not simply statistical curiosities. It represents $30 trillion of incremental debt that not only weighs heavily on the stagnating incomes of borrowers, but also represents a vast inventory of loans, bonds, hypothecations, re-hypothecations, derivatives and securitizations. It goes without saying that this immense inventory must be constantly tended, serviced, repackaged, extended, pretended and re-sliced and re-diced. Juggling the debt and chasing the "assets" which it funds and hypothecates is what financialization does.
As is well-known, the "Bloombergs" at the center of the bubble finance casino are so immensely profitable that they generate the equivalent of a drug lords' surplus— which, in turn, funds the extensive apparatus of financial information and news production that comprise the Bloomberg empire. But at the end of the day, Bloomberg News LP is only a vertically integrated representation of the entire infrastructure of bubble finance. Reuters, the Financial Times, CNBC, Dow-Jones/News Corp and Inside Mortgage Finance are all part of the food-chain by which the bloated financial sector maintains and services itself.
It is not surprising, therefore, that the scribes and pundits employed by the bubble infrastructure cannot see beyond it; that CNBC can find an endless supply of fund managers who are buying the dips and following the Fed's promise to keep interest rates lower longer and stock prices rising higher forever; that a corrupt financial market in which all interest rates are pegged and rigged by the Fed is taken for granted as the natural order of economics; that government borrowing to stimulate and support the economy is viewed as essential regardless of its future consequences; that arbitrary central banking targets like 2% inflation as an instrument of optimum GDP growth or the bogeyman of "deflation" are embraced uncritically as axiomatic; or that economic absurdities such as zero money market interest rates for seven years running are rarely even noted.
In short, the vast infrastructure of bubble finance bends, shapes and curates the daily narrative so thoroughly that the denizens of the stage set do not even notice its vast artificiality. Its just one day at a time, and one more fix by the monetary and fiscal authorities to keep the bubble inflating, or at least stable.
In that context comes the monetary insanity of Abenomics and the economic freak-show of Japan Inc. After 20 years of relentless borrowing and money printing, it teeters on the edge of an economic abyss, shackled with massive public debt, a shrinking/ aging population, a rapidly depleting savings pool, comically low interest rates on its public debt and a truly horrid fiscal posture—namely, it will need to borrow 50% of every dime its spends in the year ahead, even with the long-overdue rise of consumption taxes beginning in April.
Now comes a Bloomberg scribe, Matthew Klein, offering to essay on the upcoming baby-step toward fiscal sanity in Japan. The headline says it all:
Japan Is Taxing Itself Into Trouble
And then there follows more of the mindless narrative:
On April 1, Japan's national sales tax will rise to 8 percent from 5 percent. Unless wages rise by an equal amount, the effect will be a drop in consumer spending…. Even if this isn't enough to push the economy into recession, raising the sales tax is a bad move that will undermine Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's agenda for the world's third-largest economy….If anything, the government should be cutting taxes now
Young Matthew also notes that the Japanese people have not been astute enough to recognize what Wall Street and London gunslingers intuitively understood. That is, with the BOJ expanding its balance sheet at three times the rate relative to GDP of the Fed's mad money printing, stock prices would soar and wealth effects would be had by all:
For instance, Japanese have been large net sellers of Japanese stocks ever since the big rally that began in the fall of 2012. Foreign investors have more faith in Abenomics than the people with the most at stake.
Then there is the news that victory over "deflation" is in sight. Never mind that there has never been any sustained consumer price deflation in Japan, and that the current index of about 99.0 stands almost at the very spot it occupied 21 years ago in March 1993—with only tiny undulations during the intervening years:
A more encouraging bit of news is the rise in consumer prices, excluding food and energy. This measure of inflation has accelerated to 0.7 percent annually — its fastest pace since 1998, although still slower than the official target of 2 percent…..
On the drivel meanders. Nowhere is it noted that Japan's scheduled consumption tax rise is a bitter, chronically deferred, end-of-the line fiscal necessity; that sustained 2% inflation would destroy its monstrous $10 trillion government bond market; and that Abenomics has already manifestly failed.
By trashing the Yen, Abenomics has imported massive commodity inflation onto an island that has no hydrocarbons, industrial raw materials or even operational nuke plants. Consequently, real wages are falling at an even faster rates than before and the massive debt burdens created by decades of bubble finance push the world's largest retirement community toward its final demise.
This bit of tommyrot was published under Bloomberg Views—perhaps suggesting that it represents opinion, not hard news. But that's just the trouble. The vast infrastructure of bubble finance generates an overpowering consensus of opinion that is utterly blind to the very bubble in which it resides.

WHY? Because that's what the Socialist Semite Democrat Media does......it's their job to serve the Bankster Elite.
I am not plagued.. I do not watch the crap, listen to, or read most of it anymore.
I am sure Bloomberg LP and its employees have access to all the chat messages and emails and are using it for their own purpose of front running their clients.
I just need to know if/when everything goes all nonlinear so I can get home.

cnbc, Bloomberg, Fox Business - ALL of them suck big hairy stinky shit-covered cocks
There is so much stuff on a Bloomberg terminal that no-one could ever conceivably use even a tiny fraction of it. It should really all be unbundled and various groups of modules just offered over a web interface at a fraction of the current cost.
If customers don't require all of its functionality, why have not its competitors made inroads against it, by providing point solutions?
Yes, in other words, in a free market people had to add value through their labor to make money.
However, in the current system, one only has to have one's finger on the creation and distribution of money. Because, until people figure it out, money created out of thin air and distributed through a criminal crony network has the same value as money earned through value adding labor.
It is a travesty.
Fiat is a lie. Government lies. The Fed lies. Bloomberg lies. The market is a lie. The fools still buy.
Just look at the reality of 'human nature'. If I worked on Wall Street and a certain network grilled me during an interview, am I ever going to talk to that network again? On the other hand, if that network lets me come on and recommend stocks I already own, so that the prices can jump higher...
Good article.
So is Obama the only president to ever have a 0 interest rate policy for his entire two terms?
Because when fraud-markets are never enough, we need fraud-journalism to keep the hope and change parade alive.
What the fuck dude? Don't you read? Isn't this what always happens to empires?
The CB put and derivatives represent unlimited leverage. Unlimited leverage is really just confiscation.
Fractional reserve lenders must operate in an environment where managers and institutions must suffer losses for fraudulent and frivolous loans or the result will be crime and on a large enough scale tyranny.
The decoupling from gold was a claim of imperial privilege. The right to export paper in exchange for real goods. Mr Stockman is quite right to point out the abuses that have mushroomed from the this confiscatory regimen.
That's the problem with systems of confiscation, they're abused 100% of the time. This characteristic of sucking up more and more resources and returning less and less is why government is a necessary evil.

Prof. Black on this as l
Article starts out strong and then wanders into the desert. Not all the financial innovations since 1971 are evil, many are quite good.
It's the increased government complicity in banksters and rentiers, that's new.
Brand spanking new since the time the Bank of England went private, for sure.
most technical analysis isn't actually technical. It's drivel-analysis posing as technical analysis. The moving averages, the formations like cup-and-(pan)handle (because you'll be broke), head-and-shoulders (which you'll be too broke to afford when your trading account goes bust), elliot waves-your-money-goodbye, etc.
That's real technical analysis:

... it's amazing, really, how many free-market people were fooled by Fraudman into think he was all about free-markets. He was, in fact, a giant jackass. Just like Maggie Thatcher the Hun stealing the people's North Sea gas only to pretend to be a capitalist. It's not capitalism to sell a thing you don't own to get personal profit. That's theft.

Is there any way to make my graphics card (ATI x800) work with tvout? I know there are no proprietary drivers for this card only the opensource ones. It uses this cable for video out:
Personally I use the yellow RCA for tvout (in windows). I hope there is a way to work it out because it's a really important feature for me and one of the only reasons I boot windows.
Thanks ahead!

Broken output jack (or is it?)
Lately my bass (Squier Affinity p-bass) has started randomly making loud, annoying rattling and buzzing sounds. They mostly occur when touching the cable near the output jack, or when for example turning around so that the cable twists.
At first I thought my cable was broken, and bought a couple of new ones. But after trying with a new cable, it still rattled all the time and it was actually much worse.
Soo what do you think the problem is? Can I fix it myself or do I have to take it somewhere for repair? If it has something to do with wiring, please notice that I don't have a soldering iron and I couldn't use it if I had one...

Soldering irons are super cheap and soldering is super easy. You could find tutorials on YouTube.
I'm not sure, based on your description, what the sound is really like. Is it more like a buzz/hum or a loud crackling/popping sound? A constant hum could be a grounding issue, but if it pops or cuts out whenever you nudge the cable, it's probably the output jack.
Try opening it up and see if you can find any loose connections. There are only two solder joints on the output jack so it should be apparent if anything is loose.
However, if there aren't any loose connections, it's probably an issue of the terminal being bent or corroded. In that case, you're going to want to get a new output jack. Like I said, soldering is pretty easy, especially for an output jack.

Well; it doesn't sound like your output jack is broken. It could be that the spring contact that touches the end of the cable is bent, in which case you would need to remove the output jack and bend it back where it belongs. Now as to the rattle, that sounds like something is loose or broken inside of your bass. Have a good tech look at it. It will probably be an easy and cheap fix.

It's kinda difficult to explain the sound it makes. I can hear both crackling, loud popping and buzzing. Usually it first it crackles, then makes a loud pop/snap, then buzz for a second or two and after moving the cable again it might work for a while.
I will open up the pickguard today (or tomorrow) and tell you what I see inside there. Thanks for your help! Hopefully I can fix this myself, since the closest music store is like 100 kilometers away from where I live...
EDIT: I opened it now, and tried to take a picture, but my cell phone's camera sucks. So I will explain it with this wiring diagram I found:
The metal-colored wire that goes from the tone knob to the "earth"-thing in the output jack has snapped. The point where it broke is right next to the output jack, so there's only a short stub of it left on that end.
I suppose I have to solder it together then? My friend might have the equipment and skills needed to do it, but I need to know which material is needed to do the soldering? I heard that it can be tin or zinc or something, does it make a difference at all?
EDIT #2: I noticed that the spring contact was also bent, just like FatalGear said. I bent it back so it touches the head of the cable again properly.

Syncing to Office365 via Sharepoint Workspace 2010 is failing due to a schema error in relation to folders in the document library.
Sync fails with error:
An error occurred while attemptingn to synchornize this tool.
Data in this list references content type "", which is no longer in the list schema.
Clicking resolve error does nothing.
Deleting the new folder from either the web interface or by Opening in Explorer causes Sharepoint Workspace 2010 to return to normal functionality.
I have other Sharepoint workspaces (non Office365) synced in Sharepoint Workspace 2010 and they have the option to create a new "Folder" or "Document" when right-clicking on an unoccupied area in the document list. The Office365 only has the option of "Word", and no option to create a folder through Sharepoint Workspace 2010.
Looking for any hints towards a resolution.
Thanks for the feedback.

Hello Bob,
I have the same issue. I cannot sync with Workspace because of the same error message. I've removed a little while ago the OneNote files, and we had one CSV file, also removed him, but even after that, I'm not be able to sync it.
What is the issue?
Kind regards,
We see the same issue in our environment. I removed all the onenote files we had. But still we have the error. There are some posts that refer also to PDF files. For us it's no option to remove all our PDF files, because those are mandatory to work with..
Hope support can determine the real cause of this issue.
Kind Regards,
I'm also having the same problem. We only have pdfs, jpg and .docs in the sharepoint doc library and none of them have line breaks in the name. Surely it can't refer to line breaks in a PDF doc file. Can someone form O365 support please post on this. The last reply in feb hasn't fixed the problem
Same problem here as well...
We do not have onenote. Just pdf and word docs.
Seems to be a common problem. We only have xls files in the folders that are giving us problems.
Even if it problem caused by OneNote files it needs fixing please, Microsoft. OneNote is an instrinsic part of the Office365/Sharepoint Online offering and should work with Workspace.
Bob, can you please send link so we can log this problem and get it looked at by an engineer.
Bob -
This error is very simple to reproduce. Simply adding a Folder to the document library that's included in the default Office365 Team Site results in this error. The folder doesn't need to have any files in it - it can be empty and you'll get the error.
It's ironic that MSFT hasn't caught this error, since it doesn't seem like an obscure or uncommon use case. I've deployed Office365 sites now for quite a few clients, and one of the very first things most of them try to do is organize documents in folders, which immediately breaks the Sharepoint Workspace synchronization.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this yet?
I'm going to add my voice to the chorus of users seeking a resolution to this issue. I'm trying to sync Office 365 and Sharepoint and getting the same error - no OneNote or CSV files. Without the file synch functionality, it makes SharePoint dead on arrival for my use.
I had an empty folder in the Office 365 document library on-line. When I deleted it, I was able to synch to my local SharePoint. There were no files in the folder or unusual character names or properties. I'm left confused how to organized and move documents and have sync.
Is anyone from MSFT monitoring this question thread? I'm encountering this error again and have scoured the support forums at SharePoint and Office 365. Now, I have no subfolders and the error has re-occured saying: [Data in this list references content type "0x010100FA2E53E037C18845AA10BA269B7F5DA1005347C33A39E35245BE66BE167205E741", which is no longer in the list schema.] I'd love some help.
Yes, same problem here. Simply creating a new empty folder in either SharePoint online, or windows file explorer, breaks the sync. We are using Office 2013 and SkyDrive Pro.
Suitable work-around/solution from pjaadmin. Confirmed to work with E3, office 2013 and SkyDrive Pro:
Hi HK Mike,
You need to stop using the standard 'Documents Library' that comes with the Office 365 subscription and create a new Library for your shared documents.
To do this select the 'Site Actions' menu from your Team site and select 'New Document Library' from the drop down menu. Once you have done this you will be able to highlight the library and then access the library option from the 'Libray Tools' box which will give you the 'sync to sharepoint' option on the ribbon.
This works and once you have done it this way allows you to create new folders either in sharepoint workspace or in sharepoint on-line that synchronise properly.
