The Mississippi House has passed a bill to let mid-sized municipalities in dry counties decide if they wish to allow sales of liquor by the glass at restaurants and hotels.
Voters in municipalities with at least 5,000 people would be allowed to petition for a vote on the issue.
At least 20 percent of registered voters would have to sign the petitions to prompt an election.
House Ways and Means chairman Jeff Smith says few municipalities would be affected by the bill, since few cities in Mississippi's dry counties have at least 5,000 residents.
People in those municipalities would be able to vote on the hours when the beverages could be sold.
Mississippi already has a confusing patchwork of liquor laws.
House Bill 928 moves to the Senate.

Hey, doing another Monti StorySLAM. The theme is First Times (part deux).
Unlike The Monti, anyone with a story to tell has a chance to tell a one at The Monti StorySLAM. This is a competitive event, so there will be judges in the audience. At each event, there will be eight storytellers chosen at random; each story is five minutes long; one winner will be declared at the end of the night. Here's how you can tell your story:
- We publicize a theme (this show's theme is First Times.)
- You think, "Hey, I have a story that goes with that theme!"
- You buy a ticket.
- You practice your five-minute story at home and in your car.
- You show up and fill out a form stating that you would like to tell a story (NOTE: You DO NOT have to tell a story to attend. You can just sit back and enjoy the show.)
- During the show, Jeff Polish will pick names from a hat at random, one at a time, and each person called will have five minutes to tell their story.
- After eight stories have been told, one winner will be declared!
Winners from each StorySLAM will qualify for The Monti GrandSLAM in April 2013. The GrandSLAM brings the winners back to compete for the ultimate title of The Monti GrandSLAMpion!
Doors @ 6:30 PM
Show @ 7:30 PM

Prime Theorem of the Century
Library Home || Full Table of Contents || Suggest a Link || Library Help
|Ivars Peterson (MathLand)
|"Prime numbers have always fascinated mathematicians," Underwood Dudley of DePauw University in Indiana wrote in a 1978 textbook. "They appear among the integers seemingly at random, and yet not quite: There seems to be some order or pattern, just a little below the surface, just a little out of reach." As the numbers of the sequence increase, the intervals between primes, on the average, get longer, though in a somewhat haphazard way. In other words, primes gradually become more scarce as numbers get larger, and one can imagine that, at some point, they might run out. More than 2,000 years ago, however, the Greek mathematician Euclid proved that the sequence of primes continues forever...

Anyway, long story short. Click here to see the storyboards created by Anssi Rauhala and Jussi Lehtiniemi.
p.s. Some of the storyboard images are actually screenshots from a simple 3D animation. They're called animatics and we use them to plan out the more complex scenes. You'll get a look at them in sneak peek as well.

There are some decisions that feel huge. We know that this is one of them. The University of Chicago undergraduate college experience is defined by a culture of inquiry, discussion, and exploration of ideas. International students drive the diversity of our community and create conversations that power rigorous inquiry for our intellectual community. International students comprise 15% of the University community and come from over 100 countries outside of the U.S. We are looking for academically talented, intellectually curious international students to come to a world-renowned campus in the heart of a global city to share their perspectives and join in the conversation.
The University of Chicago considers you an international applicant if you are neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. permanent resident, regardless of where in the world you live. We are here to help you with the admissions process and the application. If you have any questions, contact the International Team.

- Secondary School Report
- Teachers' Evaluations
- Test Scores
- An English Language Proficiency Test
- Midyear Report
Non-Required Materials
Submitting Documents
Learn more about submitting application documents.
Required Materials
All of the following materials can be found on the The Coalition Website, Universal Application website, and the Common Application website.
- Complete the Coalition Application, Universal Application, or Common Application and the University of Chicago Supplement. They contain basic information about your background, academic profile, and extracurricular activities.
- The University of Chicago Supplement (available through your UChicago Account or the Common Application website) requires one extended essay of your choice from our list of five, and one short essay on why you would like to attend the University of Chicago. An essay on your favorite art or media is optional.
- We do not require certificates proving participation in activities; the Coalition, Universal, and Common Applications provides space to list all extracurricular and work experiences and if this is not sufficient, a resume to summarize activities is preferred to multiple certificates.
Application fee: The University of Chicago does not charge an application fee for students applying for need-based financial aid. For students not applying for need-based financial aid, our application fee is $75, and can be submitted through the Coalition Application, Common Application, or Universal Application.
Credit card: Please follow the instructions on the Coalition, Universal, or Common Application for submitting the application fee online.
Check or money order: Please attach a note to the check or money order with your complete name and address, and mail it to the College Admissions Office by the appropriate application deadline.
Ask your secondary school counselor to complete the Secondary School Report it along with an official transcript. Within the transcript or letter, your counselor should inform us of your results or predicted results for any external examinations, such as the GCE A levels or the IB. We do not require complete syllabi; instead a school profile should be a succinct summary of academic options. All secondary school counselors and teachers have the option of submitting letters of recommendation and school forms online via the Coalition Application, Universal Application, or Common Application. High school counselors and teachers should follow the instructions on the Coalition, Universal, or Common Applications for submitting these forms.
Give these forms to teachers who know you well and can write about your strengths as a student. We require two recommendations from teachers who have taught you in an academic subject. All high school counselors and teachers have the option of submitting letters of recommendation and school forms online via the Coalition, Universal, or Common Applications. High school counselors and teachers should follow the instructions on the Coalition, Universal, or Common Applications for submitting these forms. Counselors and teachers may print out these forms and submit them on paper even if you are applying online.
University of Chicago requires an ACT or SAT score. Have official SAT or ACT scores sent to the University of Chicago from the testing agency, even if your scores appear on your transcript. UChicago's SAT code is 1832; the ACT code is 1152. We do not require any SAT Subject Tests. While we would of course like to receive your scores before the appropriate deadline, for the Early Action deadline, we will accept November SAT scores and October ACT scores and for the Regular Decision deadline, we will accept January SAT scores and February ACT scores. If you choose to submit ACT scores, we do not require the optional essay component.
We understand that access to the SAT and ACT is not available in all countries (specifically, China). While we hope that you will make your best effort to take one of these tests if you can, we will give full consideration to the applications without an ACT or SAT score from students in these countries.
If you would like to learn more about the SAT, please visit the test section of the College Board site. For more information about the ACT, please visit the FAQ section of the ACT site.
For applicants after January 1, 2016: The Redesigned SAT
Starting in March 2016, the College Board will offer a new, redesigned version of the SAT. The test itself may be changing, but the way we use SAT scores in the admissions process will not—they will continue to be used as one piece of a much broader holistic review process.
We will continue to accept scores from the old version of the SAT for the five years scores remain valid, and will superscore within both the old exam and the new, but will not superscore between the two versions. No matter what scores you send, we'll be considering your best.
Competence in English must be demonstrated in order to qualify for admission. All international applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or the Pearson Test of English (PTE). Our TOEFL and College Board code is 1832. If you are taking the IELTS, request the scores to be sent to the admissions office. Reports of other tests are usually not accepted. Please visit the TOEFL and IELTS web sites for more information. The University of Chicago only admits students who have demonstrated a superior level of English language competence: we strongly recommend a score of 100 or higher on the Internet Based TOEFL or 600 or higher on the Paper Based TOEFL. Minimum required scores in the IELTS (students must take the Academic test, not the General Training test) are an overall score of 7, with sub scores of 7 each. The minimum acceptable score on the PTE is 70.
The only exceptions are for applicants who for two or more years have attended a high school where the primary language of instruction is English in a country where English is one of the official languages (England, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, or Pakistan, for example). UChicago does not offer an ESL program for admitted students.
Please have your high school counselor submit a midyear report with grades or transcript for your first semester or first trimester by February 1, 2014, or as soon as possible thereafter. The Coalition, Universal, and Common Applications provide a Midyear Grade Report form, or you may use your own school's midyear report. You are also welcome to make updates to your application by logging into your UChicago Account and clicking "Update Your Application."
Non-Required Materials
International admission is need-sensitive, except for citizens of Canada. We have a fixed amount of funds for international need-based aid, so we recommend that you only apply for need-based aid if you do not have the resources to fund your education. However, if you think you may require financial aid at any point during your four years of college, you must apply for financial aid at the same time you submit your application for admission. If you wish to apply for financial aid, please review the information on the International Financial Aid page. Canadian citizens who plan to apply for financial aid should still follow the directions found on the International Financial Aid website and apply using the same forms as all international applicants. More information on International Financial Aid.
Interviews are not required for admission into the College but can be a way for students to learn more about the University of Chicago. We offer on campus interviews as well as alumni interviews around the world, both of which are treated equally in the admission process. More information on interviews.
Supporting Materials – NOT REQUIRED. You may submit supporting materials for music, theater and dance, or visual arts and film. You may also submit an additional recommendation from anyone who knows you well (e.g., coach, music or foreign language teacher, member of your community). Please use the Teacher Evaluation forms in the Coalition, Universal, or Common Applications for this purpose.
You may also submit a short creative writing sample or scientific research abstract.

Quote damoore:if it is enough to
drive any stage of the signal chain into non-linearity.
Quote Korff:DC offset or
asymmetrical waveform?
Quote Adam Inglis:Asymmetry for
sure, but offset in so far as the bulk of the waveform energy is to one side of zero.
Quote:Why I noticed it
particularly is it can get you into trouble with clipping, when trying to record at
optimum levels.
Quote:The meters in some DAWs must only "look" at one side of the waveform, so you don't
realise you're going over until you hear the playback/check the waveform on the screen.
Quote Hugh Robjohns:If you have managed to record something with a DC offset then either the source, or the
recording chain, is faulty. It does happen, but it's not right and not intended.As has been said, an internal DC offset, whether by design or fault, can result in an
increased level of even harmonic distortion, and most people find even significant levels
quite benign and pleasant.
Quote Hugh
Robjohns:Ah yes... but then recording with a negligible
headroom margin isn't 'optimum' -- partly for this very reason!
Quote Adam Inglis:But how can
one hear an "internal" DC offset if it doesn't appear at the output? Or are you saying
that the harmonic distortion it causes makes it to the output, but without the offset?

I just picked up a slightly used Fuji Reveal 2.0, and the first thing I noticed while riding it is that the handlebars seemed higher (which they were) than my 9 year old old Specialized Stumpjumper with a smaller fork. It felt a little weird pushing it through fast tight turns.
So I thought I would flip the stem to bring the bars lower and get rid of that "too high" feel. It dropped them about an inch or so. Took it for a ride tonight, some of the local hotshots showed up and I ended up burning just to keep up. Late in the game I was coming into an uphill full speed, tired, and must have had too much weight on the bars, as I hit two root steps and just bought it bigtime on the second one, endo'd and augered my face into pine needles.
I guess I should leave the bars high?

Diff of AntiSpoof.php file that gives accountcreator group override-antispoof right.
Currently on the English Wikipedia, there is a special accountcreator group made specifically to aid people who cannot normally create an account, whether it be from not being able to see the CAPTCHA or because their username is too similar. In the case of the latter, where a username is too similar to another username, a sysop may create the username anyway if the similar username is inactive. However, there are not a lot of active sysops aiding in the Request an account process. The accountcreator group, which currently only has the right to exceed the account creation limits, should be able to override the antispoof, since that would allow the clearing of the daily backlog of account requests that need a sysop to create.
Put simply, in order to make the account creation process smoother and easier, this change would allow users in the accountcreator group (there are not too many, but there are enough to help out) to override the anti-spoof. I have attached a diff of the file that needs to be changed.

A fantastical Dior exhibit is currently on display at Harrod's, showcasing everything from the iconic Lady Dior bag to the gold gown Charlize Theron wore for J'Adore's perfume ad.
Barks wore the most darling yellow dress, accessorizing her look with a hot pink clutch and stilettos.

Any idea when Avodart will be going generic? Is there another drug (generic) that would be comparable to Avodart?
Generic Avodart?
- Posted:
- 30 Dec 2011 by sgt carney
- Topics:
- avodart, benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph), generic
Answers (1)
30 Dec 2011
I found out the following in my research:
A patent currently prevents any generic Avodart from being manufactured in the United States. For your safety, you should not buy anything claiming to be "generic Avodart" until an approved version is available. The earliest date that an approved generic could become available for sale is in 2013, when the patent for Avodart expires.
There are basically two types of medicines used to treat BPH:
5-alpha reductase inhibitors: These medicines block the formation of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), helping to shrink the prostate. It may take as long as six months to see results with these medications. There are currently two of these medications available:
Dutasteride (Avodart)
Finasteride (Proscar®).
Of all the medications for BPH, finasteride is the most similar to Avodart. Common side effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors include a decreased libido (sex drive), erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence or ED), and a decreased ejaculate volume.
Alpha-1 blockers: These medicines help relax the muscles near the prostate. They have no effect on the size of the prostate, but they can work very quickly. These medications include:
Doxazosin (Cardura®)
Tamsulosin (Flomax®)
Terazosin (Hytrin®)
Prazosin (Minipress®)
Silodosin (Rapaflo™)
Alfuzosin (Uroxatral®).
Because alpha-1 blockers are also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), they may be an especially helpful alternative to Avodart for men with both BPH and high blood pressure. Common side effects of alpha-1 blockers include dizziness, fatigue, and headaches.
This is what my research has shown.
All the best,

Republicans managed to maintain control of Ohio's congressional delegation last night, as did the U.S. House. But as StateImpact Ohio's Ida Lieszkovszky reports, there were some big victories for Democrats too.
The race between Republican state Treasurer Josh Mandel and Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown was one of the most expensive Senate races in the country. The combined cost of the two campaigns exceeded 41 million dollars. Much of that money came from undisclosed donors, and Mandel and interests aligned with him aired four times as many ads as Brown.
But all that money and all those ads didn't pay off. Voters like Lori Thorrat of Lakewood say they saw Mandel's ads showing his time as a Marine, but that didn't change their vote.
"I'm not in favor of Josh Mandel nor do I think that military service necessarily qualifies you to be in political office," Thorrat says.
Jason Johnson, a political scientist with Hiram University says the Brown-Mandel race, as well as the presidential race show that money does not determine the outcome of a race.
Johnson points out that "Brown got out-spent and still won. Barack Obama got out-spent and still won."
Another Democrat who won without a problem was Marcy Kaptur in newly drawn District 9 that stretches along Lake Erie and includes parts of Cleveland and Toledo. Her opponent was Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, a Tea Party favorite.
"It's the absolute death of the tea party," Johnson says.
But that district was one of only a handful that the Rebublican state lawmakers drew to favor Democrats. And, as they did two years ago, Republicans won most of Ohio's races for the U.S. House. That including an intense battle between incumbents Betty Sutton and Jim Renacci in District 16 which includes Wayne County and parts of Stark, Summit, Portage and Cuyahoga counties.
Many voters Tuesday expressed confusion about which district they're in. And Johnson says the ads had a political motivation.
Johnson says "they're plan was to eliminate Democrats in that area and really they managed to get rid of Dennis Kucinich and they managed to get rid of Betty Sutton all within one relatively simple election cycle."
Nationally, Ohio's races contributed to the Senate maintaining Democratic control, and the House holding on to a Republican majority.

The last year or so has seen a proliferation of digital 'studio in a box' packages building on the convenience aspect of the cassette multitracker, but with the inherently cleaner sound of digital recording. At the same time, just about every piece of MIDI sequencing software includes multitrack hard disk recording and editing, so you might reasonably ask where these digital studios sit in the current marketplace. Obviously, if you want to make music recordings that don't involve MIDI sequencers, a digital integrated studio provides a compact, portable and affordable means of making very high-quality recordings, but those thousands of people still using Atari sequencers (and let's face it, the Atari is just about the only mechanically quiet music computer left out there!) can also benefit. Using MTC or MIDI Clock, an Atari (or hardware sequencer) can be locked to a digital multitracker to provide a powerful MIDI + Audio package with integral audio mixing and digital effects.
So, what's inside a digital 'studio in a box'? Well, digital recording, obviously, which can be data-compressed or uncompressed (see 'Easy Peasy Data Squeezy' box for more details), and may be stored on a fixed hard drive, MiniDisc, or some other removable format, such as a Zip disk.
The other main component of a digital studio is the mixer, which can either be analogue or digital. Digital mixers have the advantage of being able to offer more EQ, plus features such as snapshot automation, while analogue mixers are, in general, rather easier to use but less flexible. Though there may be some spare mixer inputs over and above what's needed to mix down the multitrack recording, you'll probably still need a separate line mixer to handle all your MIDI stuff unless you have a very simple setup.
Finally, today's studio in a box tends to come complete with digital effects, so with nothing more than a pair of headphones, a mic, and a stereo machine to mix onto, you can start making serious recordings that, with care, will be good enough for independent CD release.
Having put the digital multitracker into context, it's time to see where Korg's D8 fits into the picture. My first impression was how small and solidly built it looks -- it's more like a big drum machine than a small studio, and, like most drum machines, it's powered by an external PSU. An LCD window, which isn't backlit but has a variable viewing angle, provides the usual text information, as well as metering, and the mixer itself has controls for six mono channels and one stereo channel, plus a master fader. Each channel also has a dedicated pan/balance control.
This unit is priced to appeal to the entry-level user, and in some ways is rather simpler than its competitors, but its audio credentials are good: digital mixer, built-in effects, and up to eight tracks of uncompressed 16-bit recording, at 44.1kHz, direct to a 1.4Gb internal drive. This provides a maximum of 34 minutes across eight tracks, though recording time is dynamically allocated, so if you only recorded four tracks you would get twice as much time. However, you can can only record up to two tracks simultaneously, which rules out most live recording applications. A SCSI connector also comes as standard, so you can record directly to external drives, and for backing up you can save data to DAT via the digital output, or to an external drive via SCSI. DAT backup is rather slow, at two hours to back up and two more hours to reload, and is limited to the amount of data you can get onto a 120-minute DAT tape (around 30 minutes of 8-track audio), but it works and it's cheap.
Apart from the input amps and the analogue monitor outputs, the mixer section is entirely digital and features 12 inputs (eight from the recorder, two analogue mic/line ins and a stereo digital input with sample rate conversion), a stereo buss, an internal effects send and an external Aux send. Having a digital input with sample rate conversion means that you can feed any stereo digital signal in without having to worry about sample rate compatibility, and as many budget effects units are now appearing with digital outputs, this could be really useful. It also allows existing backing tracks from DAT or CD to be recorded onto the D8 without leaving the digital domain.
In mic/line mode, the analogue inputs function as low-noise, balanced preamps capable of handling anything from mic level to +16dBu line signals. However, because these inputs are balanced jacks, there's no phantom power, and conventional XLR mic leads will require an adaptor. The left-hand input also has a guitar DI switch position, which increases the input impedance to 1MOhm.
|"If the D8 has an Achilles heel, it is that it uses a fixed hard drive for recording."
Korg have tried to keep the D8 both simple and affordable, so instead of a multi-band parametric EQ with a tedious menu access procedure, you simply get high and low controls. If these aren't enough, the effects section does have some parametric EQ options and, like all the effects, they can either be used during recording or added during playback. It's also possible to apply stereo effects to the whole mix, or even to monitor via the effects while recording, without recording the effects. Setting up these various options necessitates a little menu cruising but it's something you'd soon get used to.
Obviously you're not going to get full automation on a machine of this price, but you can still save up to 20 Scenes per song, with a Scene holding all the information relating to level, pan, effects type and send levels. These Scenes may be recalled manually, or made to change automatically at the appropriate point in the song.
Where digital recorders differ greatly from their analogue predecessors is in the flexibility of their editing facilities, and those offered by the D8 are impressive for such a low-cost machine. For a start, there's one level of Undo which can be applied to recordings and edits, and edits are also saved automatically, without the need to make manual saves all the time. If you're working with a sequencer, the D8 can store tempo maps of up to 10 points per song, and I'm glad to say that it also has the facility to create a tempo map automatically if you play a sequence directly into its MIDI In port. Tap tempo is also supported. To help you play along to the tempo map you've created, there's an internal metronome, but rather than clicking away monotonously this one has a library of 131 different rhythm patterns to choose from. It's not quite a state-of-the art drum machine, but it's a lot better than four beeps to the bar.
Recordings can be punched in and out manually with the transport controls, just like a tape recorder, or you can use an optional footswitch, to keep your hands free for choking the drummer! There's also an auto punch-in/out option, again much like the tape equivalent, though I have to admit that I've always preferred the immediacy of doing the job manually. Another nice feature, more often associated with samplers, is a trigger record mode that starts recording automatically once the input signal level exceeds a threshold.
Once recordings have been made, edit points can be located using a scrub function, and three locate points can be set up for each song (for editing), as well as up to 100 marker points. These are useful to identify points you may wish to use for later editing, or points that you want to return to later. What's more, if you've finished a few songs and want to mix them to DAT in the right order, you can program the machine to mix and play all your songs in any order you choose.
The D8 can output MTC and MIDI Clock for sync purposes, but it's also MMC (MIDI Machine Control) compatible so you can control the transport from a sequencer if you wish. Finished mixes can be output via the analogue phono sockets or via the digital optical sockets (why don't designers include digital phono connections, as they're still the most commonly used in studio DAT machines?), and, as mentioned earlier, the digital input doubles as a digital aux input and a means of restoring data backed up to DAT. These connectors are located on the right-hand end of the machine, along with the Aux Out phono and the two Aux In phonos. The 25-way SCSI connector also shares this panel.
At first glance, the control surface appears rather simpler than that of a conventional cassette multitracker, probably because of the small number of knobs in the mixer section. Each channel has one fader, one knob and just three buttons. The top button sets the track record/play status (shown via a three-coloured red/orange/green LED -- red for analogue recording, orange for digital), and the next button toggles between high and low EQ, so that adjustments can be made using the Value dial in the master section. Button three is used to adjust aux send levels, and to toggle between the internal effects and the aux send buss. Three more buttons above the stereo master fader select the record source, the effect type and the effect assignment.
Moving to the master section, there's the display window, a large Value dial, tape-style transport buttons, and 18 additional buttons that deal with setting locators, auto punch-in/out, scene storing, song selection, and so on. The names on most of the buttons give a fair clue as to what they do, with the exception being the System key. This hides a number of functions, including selecting which volume levels will show up on the meters and which sound will be monitored during recording, as well as changing the footswitch status. In conjunction with the Edit button, the System key also allows you to change the sync setup, pair channel parameters for stereo operations, and select the destinations for signals on the two input jacks. The arrow keys above the Value dial double as Yes/No keys for confirming or cancelling operations.
With a cassette multitracker, you just stick in a tape, route your input to the desired track, set a level and blast away, but digital systems ask just a little more of your patience before you can make a start. The internal drive comes ready formatted, but if you connect an external drive, this must be formatted before you can use it. As with other tapeless devices we've looked at, the first thing you do when recording is create a Song, a 'virtual' pigeonhole for your audio data. This effectively safeguards you from accidentally overwriting parts of a Song you want to keep safe when you're working on a different Song. It also makes it easy to jump directly to the start of any Song, because with hard disk there's no waiting for tape to rewind. Songs can be named with up to seven characters.
Selecting a Song is achieved by holding down Stop, then pressing either the fast forward or rewind key to step through the available options. Holding Play and either of the forward or rewind buttons performs a type of fast cue/wind function, while selecting Scrub enables the Value wheel to be used to scrub the audio to find precise locations. The scrub quality isn't great, but it's fine for navigational purposes.
For one musician working alone, recording by overdubbing couldn't be simpler -- you just leave your instrument or mic plugged into Input 1, select record ready on the track you want to record onto, then use the transport buttons exactly as you would with a tape recorder. Holding Stop and Rewind at the same time gets you right back to the start of the Song. Just as with a tape machine, you can perform multiple punch-ins and outs without having to stop the transport each time, and you only need to use a single transport button to get into and out of record. The Record button can be used to toggle between record and safe modes, but if you feel more comfortable using Play to exit record mode, that works too.
When punching out, the monitoring seems to be delayed by around half a second at the punch-out point, which might lead you to believe the timing of the punch-out is wrong. However, on playback, the punch-out invariably occurs at the point where you hit the Play button, so this 'feature' seemingly affects only monitoring. Edits made in this way appear to be seamless and gapless.
The three locate markers are used to set the in and out points for editing or auto record events, while the third sets the location to which material defined by the first two markers can be copied. Unwanted material may also be cut, or material exchanged between tracks. The transport tape position can either be in time or beats/bars -- the latter is obviously easiest for editing. Pressing Save followed by Locate stores the current time point, whether the transport is stopped or playing. When you're pasting information to a new destination, you can specify the number of copies you want, so if you have a few bars of dance groove that are working well, for example, you can copy them throughout the whole song.
Effects can be added during recording, useful when you want different effects on different tracks, and if you need to record something in stereo, tracks can be linked in pairs using the Aux Send buttons, or you can use tracks 7/8. Bouncing to any unused track or track pair is possible, and more effects can be added at this time, either via the channel effects sends or by processing the whole mix through one stereo effect. To be honest, the effect quality is pretty variable -- the reverbs are somewhat perfunctory, some of the guitar overdrive effects are fizzy, and the pitch-shifter patches are so lumpy they remind me of school custard. However, the chorus and delay effects work OK, and used sparingly they can be useful in making a recording sound more sophisticated than it really is.
Mixes can be automated to some extent via the Scene feature I mentioned earlier. This is easy to use, and simply stores the state of the mix and effects selection at a particular time location; up to 20 Scenes per Song are available. When Scene Read is switched on and the mix is played back, levels, aux sends, pan positions and effects will switch to their new values at each new Scene. Scenes may also be edited if they're not quite right.
I checked out the MTC facility, which only offers 30fps (frames per second), but otherwise works perfectly well. The output values coincide with those shown in the display window, and my Mac version of Logic Audio locked perfectly on my first try, via the Unitor8 interface.
This is a very powerful and decent-sounding little machine. If it has an Achilles heel, it is that it uses a fixed hard drive for recording, so you either have to back up to DAT or to an external SCSI drive. This is less convenient than either MiniDisc or Zip as used in Yamaha's MD8 and Roland's VS840, though both these formats use data compression. Also, being able to record on no more than two tracks at once is limiting if you want to record real drums or other complex sources. There's also no virtual track feature, as offered by some of the competition.
Physical noise is a lot lower than you'd expect from a computer doing hard disk recording, but the hard disk can still be heard ticking as it runs. Computer and hard drive noise is becoming a real problem for many home studio owners striving to make clean acoustic recordings in the same room as their computer equipment, and it's something to which manufacturers should be paying a lot more attention.
The D8 has the benefit of being quite simple to use, but the EQ can be a little inflexible when you're working on middly sounds, such as electric guitars. The Hi control adds a nice glassy top to most things, but it's pitched rather too high to do much good with something like an electric guitar. There's also no varispeed facility that I could find.
On the plus side, the D8 allows you to make very high-quality recordings with relatively little effort -- the only lo-fi side of the D8 is the effects section, which, frankly, I found rather disappointing. All the basic recording functions are as easy to use as those on a tape-based system, with the advantage of instant rewind, and though I initially thought that the more in-depth editing functions might be rather complicated, most were actually pretty straightforward to access. You'll need the manual first time around, but after a few hours you should be able to put it back on the shelf and leave it there.
Being able to use MTC sync without having to waste an audio track on timecode is something we now take for granted, but nevertheless it makes locking up a sequencer very easy. The fixed 30fps mode might make life awkward for those working to picture (other than film), but for music-only applications it presents no problems. What's more, MMC support means the D8 can be driven from a software sequencer, which will then control play, locate and fast-wind functions. I also like the idea of having a selection of preset drum patterns in the metronome menu, and though the drum sounds are sometimes a bit cheesy, most of them are quite good enough to use for demos. And, finally, Korg must be commended for a taking notice of all our requests for the ability to read tempo-change information directly from a MIDI sequencer, rather than always having to input tempo map information by hand.
Ultimately, the D8 is going to face stiff competition from the Roland VS840 and the Yamaha MD8, both of which approach the same concept from a slightly different direction. Of the three newcomers, the D8 is the only one that doesn't use some form of data compression (though there are a number of existing Fostex models that also shun data compression), but, as I've said, most people would be hard pushed to notice the difference, so compression isn't the problem some people perceive it to be.
The D8 offers a compact and friendly solution for those people who like the convenience of a cassette multitracker but demand digital quality, built-in effects and some degree of mix automation. It's a very nicely presented, clearly organised little unit that really does give you everything in one box (bar the mastering machine) and features such frills as digital stereo input/output, an integral SCSI interface and the guitar DI facility.
I had a lot of fun using the D8, and its immediacy meant I did quite a lot of recording in a very short space of time. In fact it was only the lack of an affordable, removable recording medium that kept me from diving for my credit card.

A view towards Finchley, the glacial side
I'm not sure if this is a thing to do.... it takes imagination, thinking is a type of doing. In the Ice Age a massive galcier pushed the Thames outhwards to its current course.
This ice was known as the Finchley Lobe an carved the lump of land that Finchley rest upon, imagine a giant river of ice, mountain like and Hampstead as tundra.... global warming?

A History of the County of Middlesex, 1969
Volume I
Edited by J. S. Cockburn & H. P. F. King, K. G. T. Mc Donnell
"Taking the assemblage of deposits as a whole, the sequence of events is tolerably clear. Before the advance of the ice, the Thames, expelled from its Hertfordshire course by the advance of an earlier ice-sheet, flowed through the Finchley depressions from west to east. The second great ice-sheet, which completely covered the country northeast of Middlesex, sent a lobe up the valley, and thus diverted the Thames from this its second course. Small outlying masses of glacial gravel at Dollis Hill and Hanger Hill mark the train of outwash-gravels along the Brent valley which must have been initiated at this time. This signal episode was the second glacial diversion of the Thames from its first course and to it is due the initiation of the Thames valley through London. Few physiographic episodes can have been answerable for human consequences so significant and complex."

text: Derry's iconic 'divided hands' meet 22 Feb 2013 The iconic hands of the Londonderry statue 'Hands Across the Divide' have been united for a fleeting moment as part of a unique art project. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The famous piece in the city's Carlisle Square depicts two figures reaching out, but not quite meeting.It is a reflection of the divisions in Northern Ireland. But for a few hours the space dividing the hands disappeared due to a project involving an artist from the Middle East, with the support of the statue's sculptor Maurice Harron.The two artists were making a mould of the space between the two hands."Here's sort of famous for its Troubles in one way, and this represents something about the Troubles," explained Mr Harron, who sculpted the original statue. "We live in a different place now than we did 25 years ago and to get an artistic symbol that says something about that is interesting to me."The mould was used to make a transparent sculpture of that poignant space."They are about to shake hands - this sums up the general feeling I have being here in Northern Ireland," Khaled Barakeh explained."The two sides, are close to meeting, if not embracing, at least recognizing the humanity of each other - but are not quite there yet, they are one city, divided, not only by a river, but by ideologies and pain."The Syrian artist said he was surprised at the culture of division that still remains in Northern Ireland."The double naming of the Derry~Londonderry, the separate housing, schools, taxi companies, are a mimesis of the other, replicas of the same, only in different colours," he continued."I wish the future of Derry and here would be better, that that this space will be completely gone one day."Maybe one day we will come up with a sculpture and put it in the middle."The completed artwork will be exhibited in the Imagined Communities exhibition at the Golden Thread Gallery in Belfast. © UTV Share Share Share

thatgamecompany Discuss Next Game, Likely Multi-Platform - NewsBrent Galietti, posted on 11 February 2013 / 1,584 Views
Jenova Chen, the mind behind our 2012 Game of the Year, Journey, spoke with Polygon at DICE Summit 2013 about his next project. He mentioned that Journey's long development time had actually bankrupted the company, encouraging him to make sure thatgamecompany's next title would be profitable. This means the new title will almost certainly go multi-platform, a change from the company's previous titles, which were all published by Sony.
Chen also mentions that the new title will explore some of the same themes from Journey, while trying to improve on the experience. "Journey was focused on connection. I think we are trying to do one level above that with this game...This will be one level above that connection." He later added, "It's very likely, that's impossible."
Impossible? Hopefully not, as we'd love to see another title capture our hearts the way Journey did.

Meghan Coyne
Nov. 16, 2011
IRVING, Texas - East Carolina's Natalia Favoreto and Meghan Coyne have been named Conference USA Swimmer and Diver of the Week, respectively. Favoreto claimed three first-place finishes and recorded some of the league's top times during the Pirates' dual meet against Catawba while Coyne swept the diving events with the second-best C-USA scores of the season in each event.
C-USA Swimmer of the Week
Natalia Favoreto, East Carolina, Sr., Uberlandia, Brazil
Favoreto recorded a trio of individual first-place finishes in a dual meet against Catawba, winning the 200 freestyle (1:53.32), 50 breaststroke (29.48) and 100 butterfly (56.58). She won the 100 butterfly by nearly four seconds (56.58-1:00.23), the 200 freestyle by almost three seconds (1:53.32-1:56.10) and the 50 breaststroke by more than two seconds (29.48-31.63). This is Favoreto's second C-USA Swimmer of the Week award.
C-USA Diver of the Week
Meghan Coyne, East Carolina, Sr., Newburgh, N.Y.
Coyne swept the diving events in a dual meet against Catawba. She scored a 308.55 on the 1-meter board and a 314.77 on the 3-meter board. No other competitor scored more than 300 in either event. The award is the eighth in Coyne's career and first this season.

A former budget director for President George W. Bush excoriated fellow Republicans on Tuesday, saying they lack a sound strategy to both fund the government and raise the nation's debt ceiling.
Jim Nussle, a longtime former congressman from Iowa who served as director of the Office of Management and Budget from 2007-09, sharply criticized his former GOP colleagues on Capitol Hill.
Nussle's comments serve as a stark reminder of the lack of Republican unanimity over the strategy sought by some conservatives, to use needed deadlines to extend government spending and authorized increased government borrowing as leverage to undermine President Barack Obama's health care law.
"The difference between this government shutdown, if you will, or this brinksmanship is that, in the past, Republicans had a plan. There was something hanging in the balance -- there was welfare reform, there was a five-year budget to get us back to balance ... There's nothing here, and that's what's so frustrating," Nussle said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday morning.
"What do the elected Republicans have as a plan to put forward right now? That's what's so frustrating to me," the former congressman added. "Seriously, they don't have a plan."

May 24, 2016
MILTON, Fla. (AP) -- A Panhandle man has been sentenced to death in the fatal shootings of a couple in a 2010 robbery.
Robert Hobart was sentenced Friday by Circuit Judge David Rimmer after being convicted of two counts of first-degree murder last month. A jury recommended the death penalty.
Prosecutors said the 43-year-old killed the couple in a robbery to feed his addiction to prescription painkillers.
He shot 41-year-old Robert Hamm and 43-year-old Tracie Tolbert in their heads and left their bodies beside a rural road in Santa Rosa County.

John Cusack
Apocalypse Soon: '2012' Scores Hollow Victory for Uncle Sam
John Cusack is a reliably interesting actor, and if his movies are not always up to the standards of his best – among them, Say Anything… (1989) and High Fidelity (2000) – they are at least watchable. That he has chosen to star in Roland Emmerich's latest disaster fantasy, the laughably overwrought 2012, does no damage to his credibility, and reaffirms his talent for bringing heft to an otherwise weightless exercise.
John Hughes, 1950-2009
John Hughes, the Michigan-born director of '80s teen comedies including Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, has died of a heart attack in Manhattan. He was 59.
Hughes, who rose to fame in the early '80s on the strength of his script for National Lampoon's Vacation, made his directorial debut in 1984 with Sixteen Candles. He was largely instrumental in launching the careers of John Cusack, Anthony Michael Hall, Macauley Culkin and Molly Ringwald.
Notes from a Darkened Theater: The Future of Batman and a Jester in King Arthur's Court
Recently, the Sun – the London-based tabloid that seems to pride itself on movie-related misinformation – reported that Eddie Murphy and Shia LaBeouf would be joining Christian Bale and rumored Catwoman Rachel Weisz in Christopher Nolan's next Batman sequel, tentatively titled Gotham.
Though the rumor has been categorically (and convincingly) denied, I believe Murphy could make a fine Riddler, provided he muted his act to suit the dark tone of the material, as Robin Williams did for another Nolan production, Insomnia. But LaBeouf as Robin? Spare us.
