upcoming Crackdown sequel, the original game's developer, Realtime Worlds, expressed some skepticism towards the idea. "I very much doubt that Microsoft would harm an otherwise fruitful existing development relationship by gambling on funding Crackdown 2 with a startup on RTW's doorstep, for obvious reasons," RTW's Colin MacDonald said last year. Things weren't so cut and dry for self-accused Crackdown fanboy (and Microsoft exec) Phil Spencer, who recently told Develop, "When Billy Thomson, the lead designer of the game [Crackdown 1], left Realtime Worlds, there was an opportunity."
Apparently, it would seem Mr. Spencer believes Realtime Worlds is simply too busy developing APB to give a Crackdown sequel the attention it deserves. "I wanted to make sure that anything we work on is correctly nurtured ... we had to find the right team who really understood what game it is – and that was Billy [Thompson] and the team at Ruffian." Crackdown 2 will be the first game developed by Ruffian Games since the studio's inception late last year.

I saw the 19.52 version of this documentary, which is on the Australian DVD version of Gosford Park. As well as the actors describing their characters, we also see Robert Altman directing on the set, though nothing is held for too long. Altman's legendary overlapping dialogue is mentioned, allowing the actors to improvise and ad-lib, with Altman confessing that he feels the greatest moments in his films are both un-scripted and un-directed.
A standard "Making of" documentary, interesting in because "Gosford
Park" is directed by Robert Altman and features so many strong
performers. Some of the players are interviewed; and, as you might
expect, they have a firm grasp of their characters. There couldn't have
been much need for the actors to stop and ask Mr. Altman, "What's my
motivation?" You can see why Altman was an actor's favorite director.
His willingness to collaborate, overlapping dialogue, and "mistakes"
are discussed. It was nice to see Bob Balaban share my view of Altman
as a motion picture Rembrandt.
The documentary ends on a false note, as Altman seems to accept his "Academy Award" as "Best Director" for "Gosford Park" - but, Altman's "Golden Globe" acceptance speech is merely edited in. Certainly, during the production of this documentary, there was reason to anticipate multiple "Park" wins. Writer Julian Fellowes was the lone winner, of a "Best Screenplay" award for his exemplary work. Altman did win an Oscar, before he died, in 2006, "For a career that has repeatedly reinvented the art form and inspired filmmakers and audiences alike." That was nicely put.

Jedi kittens is actually a sobering thought. Kittens turn into cats and some cats turn to the Dark Side. I mean, imagine what these cats could do if they had weapons.

Hey loves, Happy Monday. I'm a little bit sad today. I had the entire weekend off and honestly I just want to rewind and do it all over again. The BF and I got to enjoy my cousin Samantha's beautiful wedding Saturday. (If you follow me on Instagram then you can see a picture of the lovely bride.) On Sunday we got to spend the entire day roaming around town. I really needed this weekend. Two full days off when everybody else was off was amazing. I got to spend two full days with the BF and see the family. Total awesomeness!!!!! So onto this outfit.
I wore this outfit on Thursday, since I had the day off. I wanted to wear a fall like outfit, but I knew it was still kinda hot outside so I opted for and in-between look. Fall on the top and summer on the bottom. After I put this outfit together, I thought I looked a little 4th of Julyish with all the red, white, and blue. I paired the look with some sparkly accessories. I still liked the outcome so I went with it! So what did you guys do this past weekend? Thanks for stopping by!

Praise for island homes campaign
Tribute has been paid to the residents of a tiny Scottish island who made their dream of owning their homes come true.
Gigha's residents last year mounted a massive fund raising campaign, which allowed them to buy the island for £3.85m from its previous owner Derek Holt.
The sale finally went through in October, thanks partly to a National Lottery grant of more than £1m, and the 3,400-acre island was formally handed over in March.
Deputy First Minister Jim Wallace, on Tuesday, paid tribute to the islanders.
He visited Gigha to lay a commemorative stone from the site of the new Scottish Parliament building to symbolise the partnership between the islanders and the Scottish Executive.
He also said that the Land Reform Bill currently making its way through the Parliament will allow similar community buy-outs in the future.
He told the islanders: "You have seized the opportunity to take control of your own destiny and I wanted to come here and pay tribute to your confidence and hard work in making this happen.
"You know better than anyone that it will not always be easy but it will always be a responsibility that you can be proud of having taken on - for yourselves and for future generations.
"I am pleased to hear that things are now progressing well because I know that it was a difficult time for everyone when the island was put up for sale."
The minister said he was confident that other communities in Scotland would "take inspiration from what is being achieved here on Gigha".

This fall, hospitals and physicians will be able to order Dell's five-inch Dell Streak Android 2.1-based mini-tablet as an option with Dell's healthcare solutions, says the company. The device will be loaded with client apps designed to interact with Dell's EMR and MCC (mobile clinical computing) enterprise software, providing healthcare professionals with digitized patient information, says the company.
While Dell is targeting its Streak tablet at EMR applications, Sprint is aiming its HTC-manufactured Evo 4G Android smartphone more specifically at mobile medical imaging in a partnership with Calgary Scientific. An Android version of the latter's HIPPA-compliant ResolutionMD Mobile software, said to be "powered by PureWeb," will be offered on the Evo 4G.
Sprint, meanwhile, has developed a secure platform for ResolutionMD and other medical imaging applications that spans its wireline IP network, as well as 3G and 4G wireless networks, says the carrier.

It's been a few months since Charlotte returned from her holiday in Panama... and she's still talking about it. She keeps saying how beautiful it was and how breathtaking the landscapes were. She's got so many panoramic photos on her phone now that she has to delete other apps to save on memory space. The problem is that she couldn't print them at work, because alas, all of our photos are in square format (we do love the square!). So that's when we decided to launch our Metallic Prints in Panoramic format so Charlotte (and well, everyone) can print their photos in a widescreen format and do those breathtaking landscapes justice. We actually liked the result so much, we decided to do two additional formats as well (Square and Oblong). So now there's a shape and size for every photo! Metallic Prints are available in 3 different formats: Square (35x35cm), Oblong (30x40cm) and Panoramic (30x90cm). Simply select a photo and crop it to fit. You can also choose to add a metal hanger or a Metallic Float Frame. Your photos will be printed beautifully on the aluminium, then wrapped into our specially-designed packaging to ensure their safe delivery.

Oro Valley police are looking for a man in connection with the smash-and-grab theft of a large number of Apple products from a Walmart earlier this month.
Eric Mcrae, 28, is one of two suspects in the case, Oro Valley police said in a news release.
On July 2, two men went into the Walmart, in the 2150 block of East Tangerine Road, and were seen in the store's electronics department. Video surveillance showed the two men leaving the store.
A short time later one of the men walked back into the store, picked up a crow bar and smashed a glass case and stole numerous Apple products.
The man ran out and was seen leaving in a Chevrolet Impala.
Oro Valley police were able to track down the license of the Impala, which led to an arrest of one man.
Emond Hill, 28, is facing charges of burglary, trafficking in stolen property and conspiracy to commit theft.
Anyone with information on Mcrae can call 88-CRIME.

The iPhone 2.0 software has been out for three weeks now, giving iPhone and iPod touch users alike access to a host of new features. But some iPod touches available at your local Apple Store still feature the old firmware. And if you happen to buy a new touch that still ships with the 1.14 software installed, you'll have to shell out another US$10 to upgrade to the 2.0 version, even though that update has been available since July 11.
I know this, because that's exactly what happened to me last week.
On July 31, I went to the Emeryville, Calif., Apple Store to "refresh" the aging and bloated sage iMac my mom had been using for the last several years. We picked up a new iMac, a new AirPort Base Station, and--as a last-minute purchase--a new 8GB iPod touch.
After a couple of hours of migrating, updating, and configuring my mom's new Mac I set out to put the icing on her cake and unwrapped her iPod touch. But when I synced it with her new computer I noticed that the OS version on the iPod was still 1.14--not the three-week-old version 2.0.
I put in a call to Apple's tech support line to get to the bottom of why a "new" iPod touch would have such old firmware on it and what I could do to bring things up to date. After about five minutes on hold and a brief exchange of information, I had a pleasant, but surprising conversation with an Apple tech I'll call "Tina." It went something like this...
Tina: OK Jeff, how can I help you with your iPod touch today?
Me: Well, my mom bought this from the Apple store last night and when I opened it the OS on the iPod was version 1.14 not the current 2.0 OS. I was wondering how I get the 2.0 update.
Tina: You can get that update for $9.95 from the iTunes Music Store.
Me: OK. Wait, I have to pay for the update?
Tina: Yes. The OS update is free for iPhone users, but iPod touch users have to pay for the update.
Me: But the iPod was purchased last night. The OS update came out three weeks ago.
Tina: Well, what probably happened is that the old inventory at the store you went to hadn't been completely sold out since the update, which is why your iPod has the old OS on it.
Me: Are you sure I have to pay for the update? It doesn't seem like I should have to pay extra for something that's been out for three weeks.
Tina: I wish there was a special web site that I could tell you to go to, but, unfortunately there isn't. Sorry.
Me: OK, thanks.
Tina: Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Me: Nope, that'll do.
Tina: Thank you for calling Apple.
On the chance that "Tina" was merely misinformed about Apple's policy, I waited a few days and placed a second phone call to Apple's tech support line. I got the same answer as before--if I wanted the iPhone 2.0 update that shipped three weeks before I bought the iPod touch, I would have to pay the $10 upgrade fee. With the iPod touch, it seems, you get what comes in the box; you pay for anything else.
Macworld placed a couple calls to Apple's public relations department to confirm that this was Apple's official policy--the company had not gotten back to us by the time this article was posted.
In the greater scheme of things, the unexpected update fee would seem like small potatoes--after all, when you've already spent anywhere from $299 for an 8GB iPod touch to $499 for the 32GB model, what's another $10? Still, however minimal the cost may seem, it's an expense you probably didn't plan on having to pay if you're buying a touch at this stage in the game. So if you're planning on buying a touch, it may be a case of buyer beware--that "new" hardware may not be as new as you thought. And the price tag may be a few dollars more than what you thought you were going to pay.

Schoolchildren in Sutton were told to keep dreaming during an inspirational workshop by a Japanese car dealership.
Greenshaw High School in Grennell Road welcomed Honda's School of Dreams team for a two-day 'thinking skills' seminar.
The School of Dreams programme encourages young people to pursue their life's goals, providing skills and strategies to help achieve their aims.
Greenshaw students aged nine to 13 were joined by pupils from three Sutton primary schools - All Saints Benhilton, Westbourne and Manor Park - as well as Tweeddale Primary School in Carshalton.
Teachers and pupils teamed up to work in small groups and learned about real-life examples of people who have achieved their dreams.
They were also taught new skills such as juggling.
Staff from Ewell Honda car dealership also joined in the fun.
Greenshaw headteacher William Smith said: "It was a great two days.
"We particularly liked the participation between primary and secondary schools, and the use of learning skills to develop the students' confidence and communication strategies."

Encapsulating Terence Nance's efforts to impress Namik Minter, this mélange of musings, animations, recollections and other ephemera seems more like an electronic storyboard for a work in progress than a finished film.

Seems to me that we now have to fear for our safety by rogue group of black men in the area who lay in wait for unsuspecting Latinos on foot. People bitch all of the time about the Latino population, but when was the last time a strong arm robbery and beating was done by one? This robbery is frigthening. Where are the police patrols? The robbery was well planned by this guys too. Threw them in prison and loose the key! What about last October's beating what happened to those guys?

Earlier this year Goldman Sachs caused a stir when they predicted that China would have a larger economy than America by 2027. But this week China overtook America in one area that is of particular interest to the likes of Goldman Sachs. PetroChina became the most valuable company in the world. After its stockmarket debut in Shanghai the firm is now valued at over $1 trillion – slightly more than double the value of the world's second biggest company, ExxonMobil.
PetroChina is no anomaly. Three of the five most valuable companies in the world are now Chinese – China Mobile and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) are the other two. If you take the top 10 companies as your preferred measure, it is four-all between China and America. Sinopec is China's other entry. The US has Exxon, GE, Altria and Microsoft. Read more

Entertaining film all around. David Niven is excellent, as usual, but Cantinflas steals the show. His talents are showcased to perfection in this film. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute he was on screen. He is funny, articulate and a match for David Niven's suave demeanor. After betting that he can circumvent the world in 80 days, he puts his valet (Cantinflas) in charge of all arrangements. As Mr. Niven's assistant you would think it a minor role. Not so! His character is the one that gets into more scrapes and has more funny adventures, much to the delight of the viewer. He always pulls everything off with apparent ease. I recommend this film. It may be an oldie but it is definitely a goodie.Read More

Previously, the U.S. Women's National Team has played just one match in the intermountain region of Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Nevada, that coming in Denver in 1999.
Rice-Eccles Stadium, which seats just over 45,000, overlooks downtown Salt Lake City and the Great Salt Lake. At an elevation of 4,657 feet, it is the premier stadium in the state of Utah and was host to Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The stadium, which features a new synthetic grass surface and sits in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains, underwent a 50-million dollar renovation that was completed in September of 1998.
"We always love to go to new venues and play in front of fans who might not have seen the team play live before," said U.S. head coach April Heinrichs. "Salt Lake City is a beautiful place and we are looking forward to playing in front of appreciative fans at a fantastic venue. We know we are going to a city which appreciates Olympic-caliber athletes."
Like all matches in 2003, the South Korea game will carry the added significance of Women's World Cup preparation as U.S. head coach April Heinrichs continues to formulate her roster for the 2003 Women's World Cup, taking place in China from September 23-October 11.
The match also might be significant in the Women's World Cup preparation of South Korea, who will contend for a spot in the tournament at the Asian Football Confederation Women's Championships being held April 17-30, 2003, in Thailand. The top two teams in that tournament besides China, which has already qualified as host, will earn berths to the Women's World Cup. The third-place team in that tournament (or fourth as China almost certainly will finish in the top-three) will face CONCACAF third-place finisher Mexico for a final berth in China. South Korea was drawn into Group A of the AFC Championship with Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and North Korea.
The U.S. women have played South Korea just three times: twice in 1997 when they picked up 7-0 and 6-1 wins, and then again in October of 1999 at the Nike U.S. Women's Cup, a 5-0 win in Columbus, Ohio.
Featuring superstars like Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, Julie Foudy and Tiffeny Milbrett, the U.S. Women's National Team is currently the top team in the world after winning the Four Nations Tournament in China in January, a tournament that also featured world powers China, Germany and Norway. The U.S. women have won two Women's World Cups (1991 and 1999) and one Olympic title (1996).
The game will be preceded by a United Soccer League match featuring the Utah Blitzz and the Orange County Blue Star at 4:00 p.m. MT.

They're Going To Attempt This One Way or Another: Will You Send Your Sons and Daughters to Fight? *Video*
Mac Slavo
May 30th, 2013
Most people think that World War I started as a result of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. It's an easily digestible narrative, and one that can be summed up in a thirty second talking point. But students of history understand that neither the assassination of Ferdinand or Pearl Harbor were the underlying reasons behind the wars that subsequently ravaged our planet. These were mere flash points – catalysts for a broader expansion of wars that were already in progress. The conflicts had been building for years, even decades, before these events took place.
Both World War I and II were the result not of singular events, but rather, of economic policies and regional expansion that pitted one group against another – often with various groups of like minded conglomerates all over the world involved.
The point is, that these great wars, which were ultimately responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people, weren't one-off events that came out of nowhere.
The chess pieces were being moved long before the official start of the conflicts archived in our history books.
Right now, today, the grand chess game is in full swing yet again (in fact, the game never stopped). And though we are led to believe that we live in a world of relative peace here in the West, there are regional wars actively being fought all over the world. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, if not millions, are actively engaged in the fight.
Here in America, we watch conflict play out from the comfort of our couches. Somewhere in the middle east, however, is an 8-year old with an AK-47 fighting a real life war that kids in America experience only as entertainment on their Xbox or Playstation.
The Rest…HERE


text: Meet AIU Distinguished Alumni Award Recipient Coralanne Griffith-Hunte Posted September 11, 2014 by Christina Schiel in College Grads Tags: College Grads, Education Degrees AIU Online alumna Coralanne Griffith-Hunte is the walking representation of the Mahatma Gandhi quote, "Be the change you want to see in the world." If she sees a problem, she fixes it. If she encounters an obstacle, she overcomes it. And if she can't change something, she betters her life in spite of it. Furthering her education was always something Coralanne wanted. However, her decision to pursue a Master of Education with a specialization in leadership of educational organizations came about because of her son. "My eldest son Carrington had a speech delay, and I couldn't find a solid program for him. I couldn't understand the verbiage and acronyms being used, and it seemed the other parents also didn't know what was going on with their kids. So I decided to learn about it," Coralanne said. "You have to be part of the solution, and the majority of solutions involve being educated." She began her search for the right school. "I knew that being married with four children, one with a speech delay, having a busy schedule, and volunteering at my children's schools, that the traditional way of learning wasn't going to work. I began looking at various university websites, but none of them made any real impact. I was about to give up when I came across American InterContinental University." She enrolled in classes in 2009 and brought back the lessons to the other parents. "I went to school for all of us. What I learned, I taught them." With a packed schedule, Coralanne studied during her lunch hour and from 11 p.m. to 1 or 2 a.m. during the week. "Sundays were dedicated to education, so I would go to the early [church] service and then come home to do my schoolwork. ... It was important to me that my children saw a dedication to education. Wisdom and knowledge are transferred through generations." Even when challenges arose, including extreme back pain, she didn't set her pursuit of her degree aside. "There were times when I was hospitalized that I still did my work, times when I couldn't move my lower extremities. But I thought, 'What else am I going to do?' I used education to keep me going." After graduating in 2010, Coralanne was able to directly impact her local school system when she was elected president of the school board. "Under my leadership, the counsel and I amended the bylaws so no one could come into our district and use acronyms. ... We're very transparent, and the parents love that." She was also appointed representative and advisor to the President of the Borough of Queens and held the position as the founding director of the Community Partnership Charter School. Currently, she is an education and organizational consultant in New York and the founder and CEO of The Created for Greatness Leadership Group. "I truly believe I could not have attained these paramount accomplishments had I not made that decision to attend AIU." In the years following graduation, Coralanne's community was devastated by Hurricane Sandy, she was told she may never walk again, and was diagnosed with breast cancer. Today, she is helping rebuild her once-devastated community, is standing on her own two feet, is cancer-free, and is not letting anything hold her back. "You have to set goals, make plans, and execute. That's great if you have an idea, but if you don't execute, it's just an idea." She is currently pursuing her doctorate in adult education and has many plans for the future. She hopes to one day open an all-boys' school and a community center, instruct teachers on new tactics for the classroom, and continue being a motivational speaker. "Look outside yourself into the community, the world, and figure out where you are needed. It's tough, but it's needed so badly," she said. "I want to transfer the positive spirit I have." Whatever your dreams, Coralanne says, "Do it. Don't take too long figuring out why you should. We can be our own worst enemy figuring out how to fit the timing in, and we steal that time away from ourselves. Don't let your situation, age, or negative comments you've heard stop you. If you need help, seek it. ... If you want to pursue your education, do it. Deposit into yourself—people withdraw from us all the time." Coralanne is dedicated to improving her community, inspiring those around her, and always bettering herself in an effort to benefit others. "One motto drives me, and it's tied into everything I do: You're not a copy, you were created for greatness." Interested in more AIU success stories? Read our alumni blog.

Bankart Lesion Repair
CPT copyright 2008 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association.
One type of labral tear is known as a Bankart lesion. Within the shoulder capsule there are a number of ligaments that act as restraints, reinforcing the shoulder joint holding the humeral head in the glenolabral cup or socket. At the front lower portion of the shoulder (anteroinferior), you will find the inferior glenohumeral ligament. When this ligament fails during a dislocation injury, the humeral head will push down towards the front of the shoulder tearing the labrum resulting in a Bankart lesion. Typical symptoms of a Bankart lesion include joint instability or repeat dislocations with a popping sound and/or mechanical catching within the joint. Repair of a Bankart lesion can be accomplished by either an open procedure or arthroscopic technique.
The CPT codes are as follows:
- 23455 – Capsulorrhaphy, anterior; with labral repair (Bankart procedure). There are parenthetical notes under this CPT code that instruct a coder to report 29806 for the arthroscopic procedure.
- 29806 – Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; capsulorrhaphy

DORSET Police will be inspected soon to ensure crimes are being recorded properly.
All forces in England and Wales are being examined by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and an interim report has been released.
It concludes that a fifth of crimes, including rapes, could be going unrecorded after inspecting 13 other forces.
The police watchdog also found some offenders have been issued with out-of-court disposals, such as cautions, when they should have been prosecuted.
A Dorset Police spokesperson said: "Dorset Police is committed to recording crime allegations in accordance with the victim focused principles of the National Crime Recording Standard (NCRS).
"We are due to be inspected in this area in the near future and will await HMIC's findings for Dorset before we comment further."

Molex Inc. has expanded its innovative Brad Micro-Change M12 circular hybrid technology connector system
1 Comment
Molex Inc. has expanded its innovative Brad Micro-Change M12 Circular Hybrid Technology (CHT) Connector System with the addition of a new 8-pole (4+4) connector featuring two Cat5e twisted-pair data lines and four power lines capable of carrying up to 6.0 Amps.
Combining power and data lines into one connector, the Brad Micro-Change CHT Connector System reduces cabling requirements and lowers installation time and associated costs.
The wrap-around metal shielding allows power and Cat5e signal to be combined in one connector without losing optimum signal integrity and performance. The two overlapping tubes channel the signal through the connector without affecting crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The new 8-pole (4+4) Micro-Change CHT connector is currently available in the M12 threaded form factor.
For more information about the new Brad Micro-Change Circular Hybrid Technology (CHT) connector and its specifications, click here.

Swipe-style fingerprint scanner reads prints below the surface so dirt and smudges won't interfere. Replaces username/password with fingerprint at Windows log-on. Can require fingerprint to return from screensaver.
Application lock easily defeated in testing. Locked documents readily obtained from temp files using data-recovery software. Password management utility not useful for Web-based passwords.
Bottom Line
The swipe-style fingerprint scanner works well, and using fingerprints for Windows log-on will increase your security. Fingerprint security on return from the screensaver is good, too.
Lock 'em Up
The M2SYS-Lock icon on the desktop can be used to lock documents, and it can control who is allowed to launch any specific application. To lock a document, you just drag/drop it onto the icon. You can set it so that only your fingerprint will unlock the document or allow other registered users to unlock it, optionally asking them for a password. Dragging a locked document onto the icon unlocks it after you swipe your finger. You can also lock or unlock any document by choosing from the right-click context menu.
The software doesn't get in the way when you want to open a locked document. It demands fingerprint authentication and then launches an unlocked copy of the file. When you finish editing, it relocks the changed document. According to M2SYS, it uses DOD secure deletion on the unlocked files, overwriting the data three times before deleting it. I tested this by editing a locked Microsoft Word document and then looking for deleted files using the free Pandora Recovery utility. And whaddaya knowI had no trouble undeleting a weirdly named file that turned out to be a perfect copy of my "locked" document. This feature won't offer much protection against a computer-savvy snoop.
To lock an application, you first double-click that same M2SYS-Lock icon. Now you can either drag the application or shortcut onto the list or browse to select it. In either case, you'll choose whether all registered users can open the application with a finger-swipe or if only the suite Administrator can. But here, too, I had little trouble circumventing the product's protection. Finding and deleting the Registry value that locks a particular application removed the lock. But it was even easier just to copy the locked application using Command Prompt and launch the copy. This lock is awfully easy to pick.
When you step away from your desk, your files are vulnerable to any schmoe who can reach the keyboard. The Screensaver lock option helps in two ways: First, it requires fingerprint authorization before allowing the system to return from screensaver mode. Second, you can click an icon in the system tray to invoke the screensaver immediately, with-out waiting for the predefined timeout value. I couldn't break this one!

Vintage Turntables
In recent years, there's been a resurgence of interest in vinyl LPs, from vintage psych to contemporary rock by the likes of Radiohead, Pearl Jam, and White Stripes. Less discussed is the parallel quest for the perfect vintage record player or turntable. The good news is that finding a decent turntable from the 1960s, '70s, or '80s is not as tough as you might think. Manufacturers produced untold numbers of these popular machines, and because a fair amount of them were used by conscientious audiophiles, many of the ones on the market today are often in fine condition.
The 1960s were a golden age for turntables for a number of reasons. First, manufacturers were moving away from bulky home-entertainment systems, which were more like pieces of furniture than audio-delivery devices. Instead, they created individual components that consumers would assemble into an integrated system on their own. The coincidental widespread availability of stereo LPs also gave music lovers a reason to upgrade their old, bulky mono players for sparkling-sounding new ones.
Naturally, the major electronics manufacturers tried to sell consumers on the idea of choosing from just their branded components, including the receiver (an amplifier), tuner (usually an FM radio), speakers, and turntable. As it turned out, those last two categories remained stubbornly specialized for quite some time. Thus, companies like Dual, Garrard, and Acoustic Research were able to make names for themselves against Japanese electronics giants like Matsushita (now known as Panasonic) and its subsidiary brands, the most famous of which was Technics.
The German firm Dual was founded in 1900 as a manufacturer of spring-wound motors, which, by 1909, were being used in gramophones. In the 1920s, Dual was producing gramophones of its own, which could be wound by hand or driven by electricity (they were literally dual-powered, which is where the company got its modern name).
The golden age of Dual began after World War II, when the company introduced its Dual 1000 turntable. A stereo turntable followed in 1958, and a stackable turntable, the model 1006, appeared in 1959. But Dual's most classic turntables, with their handsome wooden bases, were the 1009 and 1019, released in 1963 and '65 respectively. By the end of the decade, the model 1219 featured the ability to start the turntable when the arm was lifted from its rest.
England's Garrard goes back even further, to 1721, although it did not get into the turntable business until 1930. What with a worldwide economic depression, it was not exactly the best moment in history to launch a consumer product that nobody actually needed, but the company was given a boost when the BBC purchased the turntables to play its 78s over the air.
Garrard's first breakthrough turntable came in 1938, the RC100, which could play both 12- and 10-inch records, but World War II quickly forced the company to covert its facilities to military purposes. After the war, Garrard brought out the RC70 (it could play 12-, 10-, and 7-inch records at 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. The RC80, which boasted a new magnetic cartridge, followed in 1950...
The biggest product for Garrard, though, arrived in 1954, when its legendary 301 turntable was embraced by newly prosperous audiophiles, who were known in those days as HiFi enthusiasts. The 301 was such a stalwart for Garrard that the company did not see fit to replace it until 1965, when the 401 appeared. Its run was even longer, lasting until 1977.
Another British manufacturer with a similar 1950s-to-1970s run was A.R. Sugden, whose Connoisseur line of turntables was pioneering. Unfortunately, A.R. Sugden turntables are often confused with those produced by Acoustic Research of Cambridge, Massachusetts, which didn't introduce its first turntable, the AR-XA, until 1962. It was a belt-driven turntable with a walnut base that ran at one speed, 33 1/3 RPM, and whose only visible electronic gadgetry was a solitary on-off switch.
This was a truly manual turntable, whose stylus-bearing arm had to be gently placed on the record, and then just as carefully retrieved when it had run out of grooves. Many would-be customers shook their heads in disbelief at the primitiveness of the machine, but purists loved it, which may be why AR continued to make it until well into the 1970s, even after it had introduced two versions of the AR-XB, which had more-advanced features.
Other turntable brands from the 1960s, '70s, and '80s that are popular with vinyl lovers include Marantz, Thorens, Denon, and Bang & Olufsen.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with a 24-inch-long sheet of aluminum foil, leaving extra foil extending over ends (use these later to lift bars from pan); set aside. In a large bowl beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until it just begins to blend and soften slightly, about 30 seconds.
- Add brown sugar and salt, beat on low speed until incorporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. You're not trying to cream it, you're just mixing it in, Scott says. With mixer off, add the 2 cups flour. Beat on low speed until flour is incorporated. Increase speed to medium, mix until ingredients form an even, cohesive dough. "People tend to undermix shortbread, which makes it too crumbly," Scott says. "It's tough to overmix because of the amount of butter we use."
- Break dough into small chunks and distribute in prepared pan; with your fingers press dough into an even layer. Bake 20 minutes or until dough has begun to puff and is just set. Cool on wire rack 5 minutes.
- Lightly brush exposed sides of foil with softened butter to keep filling from sticking. Spread jam evenly over crust.
- Sprinkle evenly with raspberries.
- With a lemon zester, remove peel from lemon, making sure to avoid bitter white pith. "For the most flavor, you want to do this right before baking," Scott says.
- In a large bowl beat cream cheese and goat cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Mix in granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon flour until blended. With mixer running, add egg, egg yolk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
- Pour custard batter evenly over berries. Tilt pan back and forth to distribute evenly. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until barely set. Transfer to a wire rack until completely cool, about 1 hour; cover and transfer to refrigerator. Chill 2 hours. Top will crack slightly as it cools.
- Use foil to lift the bars from pan. With a knife or metal spatula, support the sides of the bars while you gently peel the foil downward and away from sides of the bars.
- Cut into long bars, peel foil from bottom, and transfer to cutting boars using side of a long knife or spatula. "Cutting first on the foil results in cleaner edges," Scott says. Cut into 24 squares
- Sprinkle very lightly with powdered sugar. "It's much more interesting with just the rumor of sugar on top," Scott says. Makes 24 bars.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hello. Thank you for using JustAnswer.
Under Minnesota law, the statute of limitations for familial sexual abuse is 9 years. That can be extended by three years to age 21, where the abuse occurred under the age of 9.
She was 14 thru age 18 and my younger daughter was 14 thru age 18. They are now 23 and 24.
Please let me know what follow-up questions you have. If my above responses have been helpful, please click Accept so that I get credit for the time/effort. You may always restart the thread and ask follow-up questions at any time by clicking the "Reply" button at the bottom of the question/answer thread. You can access this thread later in your profile under the "My Questions" tab.
They would both be within the 9 year statute of limitations and could make a criminal complaint against him.
What types of abuse can be proven and how does the law treat the victim of this abuse. Is it a better case because there are more than one child involved and they can be a witness to each other?
Yes. Having the testimony of two victims makes each case far stronger. I assume there is no DNA evidence, so the victim testimony would be crucial. Their testimony is sufficient evidence to prove whatever abuse they assert.
The law is very protective of victims in sex abuse cases, particularly where the abuse occurs while they are juveniles.
Who do we talk to about this? Do we find our own lawyer or is this something the state pursues?
The state would pursue it.
Who do we contact?
You would contact the local police department and act to speak with a detective regarding sexual abuse of a minor.
Is this then brought back to the county in which it happened to press charges?
Yes. The county where offense occurred would be a likely place that would have jurisdiction. However, the person could also be prosecuted where they now reside.
Thank you for your help

Create your own cottage and enjoy role playing the different characters
The Three Bears' cottage
Read together the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Invite the children to help set up the role-play area as the cottage belonging to the Three Bears, where they can play freely and recreate scenes from the story. As you set the scene, focus on developing the children's understanding of number and size, which feature very strongly in this story. Place a table in the cottage and ask the children to find three sets each of large, medium and small spoons, plastic dishes, plastic cups, chairs, beds and teddy bears, and a fair-haired doll to represent Goldilocks. Provide other play items such as a role-play microwave or cooker for making pretend porridge, dressing-up clothes such as a waistcoat for Father Bear, a necklace for Mother Bear and a bib for Baby Bear.
Encourage the children to think of other activities, not mentioned in the story, that the bears may be involved in, such as going shopping, talking about the weather, discussing what they want to eat, bedtime routines and so on, to help them broaden their play activities in the area. Leave the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears in the role-play cottage for the children to refer to.

SPD Refuses to Release Names of Shooters in Recent Officer Involved Killings
On June 10, the Salinas Police Department and the City of Salinas, in a letter from the City Attorney, denied Freedom of Information Act requests from six local corporate news agencies seeking the names of the shooters in the recent officer involved killings of Carlos Mejia, Osman Hernandez, and Angel Ruiz that occurred on May 20, May 9, and March 20 respectively. The SPD is claiming the officers' safety would be at risk if they were to name them publicly. The SPD also refused to release any information as to whether the officers involved in the May 9 and May 20 shootings had been involved in any previous shootings.
Download PDF (928.8kb)
The media requests included a request for the names of all the officers who have shot people in the last five years. According to the department, there were no officer involved shootings between 2009 and the end of 2011.
The SPD did release some information on officer involved shootings that occurred in Salinas between 2012 and 2013:
September 28, 2012 - Richard Chacon Jr. was killed by Salinas police officers Robert Zuniga and Mas Yoneda.
September 13, 2013 - A woman was wounded by Salinas police officer Jeff Alford, who shot her on East Market Street.
July 26, 2013 - Juan Luis Acuna was killed on Kern Street in Salinas by nine officers from several agencies, which included seven Salinas police officers, a Monterey County sheriff's deputy, and a California Highway Patrol officer. The SPD refused to release the names of any of the officers involved in this killing.
"In the past two years, six people have been shot by Salinas Police Department officers. One was a woman, and she was the only one who survived. Her name is Charlene Hale."
"She was shot by Officer Jeff Alford on Sept. 13, 2013 outside City Suds Laundromat on the corner of East Market and Pajaro streets."

KSBW filed a Public Records Act request for the names of the Salinas Police Officers who killed Frank Alvarado on July 10, but SPD denied the request. The department has hired an attorney who made available to KSBW their packet of communications they have received that they consider threats (see PDF).
From KSBW:
"You may recall that we at KSBW – along with our media partners in this matter, The Californian newspaper, KION-TV and KSMS-TV, filed a California Public Records Act request for the identities of all officers involved in each shooting. This month, we also filed a CPRA request for the identity of the officer involved in the July 10th shooting. For each of these cases, our request was flatly denied. The city's rationale: specific threats – and that word "specific" is key here - against the police officers."
"On Thursday, a Santa Ana based attorney, hired by the city to deal with our media requests - we believe to stonewall against them - released a packet of documents which purportedly are evidence of the "specific" threats against the officers. In it are pictures of graffiti, emails and more; but after reviewing them, we are hard pressed to find anything specific directed at anybody. It's more just a collection of photos and blustery emails, colorfully worded at times, but hardly threatening."

At the end of May, 2014, in
LONG BEACH POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION v. CITY OF LONG BEACH et al (S200872, B231245)
the California Supreme Court decided...
The Court of Appeal properly upheld the trial court's denial of plaintiff-police union's request for a permanent injunction to prevent the release of the names of its officers involved in certain shootings while on duty, where: 1) here, in weighing the competing interests, the balance tips strongly in favor of identity disclosure and against the personal privacy interests of the officers involved; 2) no exemptions under the California Public Records Act is applicable here; and 3) the trial court's denial of injunctive relief was without prejudice to any later evidentiary showing that disclosing a particular officer's name would compromise that officer's safety or the safety of the officer's family.
What use are Supreme Court decisions if police departments and City Attorneys habitually ignore their sworn duties?!

The State Supremes did not create a blanket "you shall release information in all cases" ruling. It ruled that the information should be released in most cases. However, if a local agency can make a specific showing that the officers' lives would be endangered by the release of names, then the agency can still refuse, subject to, of course, judicial review if the requestor(s) go the court route.
Friday Jun 13th, 2014 2:46 PM
It seems to be a predictable pattern.
So, to paraphrase, the highest Court in the state ruled, the SPD and City Attorney ignored that ruling, in defense of alleged murderers no less, and all is as it should be?
Friday Jun 13th, 2014 5:22 PM
I realize, G you're trying to spin the court ruling into an absolute which it isn't. If the City of Salinas can show to the satisfaction of the Monterey County Superior Court that there is a clear, specific threat to the involved officers, the names can be withheld. And the "investigation" exemption still applies. This will get hashed out in court.
The dissenting Justice practically urged the Legislature to step in and change the law in such a way as to abrogate the high court's ruling-that is, effectively void it. The legislature can do that. I read a summary of the ruling by a municipal law firm that specializes in representing law enforcement and they tended to support a blanket exemption. The Peace Officers Bill of Rights could be amended to completely shut the door to the public, for example.
Friday Jun 13th, 2014 7:15 PM
To paraphrase, again; if the courts won't grant alleged murders immunity perhaps the legislature will.
Such a sad killer fetish, that cherrypicking.
Saturday Jun 14th, 2014 1:44 PM
...if killer cops are being protected by higher-up's and their peers--whatever the courts and legislature says.
As distinguished from the phony balony hysteria around drugs, homeless camping, and needles, polilce violence is a real public safety hazard--particularly because the perps are so well protected. Has anyone heard anything about Officer Vasquez being sanctioned for dropping Richard Hardy face down on the sidewalk in handcuffs. Likely the only reason we know about it or the name of the cop who did it is because Brent Adams happened to be there with his video camera. (See http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/ci_23092865/homeless-man-injured-during-arrest ).
The powerful police union and the Copley decision have virtually destroyed civilian review state-wide.
We need a local Wikileaks to let the community know what the police departments hide.
