Spotzot: Coupons & Offers From Office Depot & Officemax throughout Office Max Banners
A banner can be considered a flag or other little bit of cloth bearing symbolic, brand, slogan or other communication. A flag whose design is equivalent to the shield in a jacket of biceps and triceps (but usually in a square or rectangular form) is named a banner of biceps and triceps. Also, a club form little bit of non-cloth advertising materials wearing a name, slogan, or other marketing communication.
Banner-making can be an ancient craft. Cathedral banners commonly portray the saint to whom the chapel is dedicated.
The term derives from French term "banni?re" and past due Latin bandum, a fabric out which a flag is manufactured (Latin: banderia, Italian: bandiera, Portuguese: bandeira, Spanish: bandera). The German words developed the term to mean the official edict or proclamation and since such written purchases often prohibited some type of individual activity, bandum assumed this is of any ban, control, interdict or excommunication. Banns gets the same origin indicating the official proclamation, and give up methods to change commitment or disobey requests, semantically "to leave the towel or flag".

Monitor Displays For The Color Blind
Eizo have release an LCD monitor which can help the color blind perceive colors properly.
In Japan alone, there are more than 5 million people in total who see color differently from ordinary people, due to their genetic types or eye diseases.These days almost all images and texts are displayed in color, everything from newspapers to advertising billboards and ATM's to Televisions would look rather unprofessional if they were not, bad news for people who are color blind.
However the development of a new technology called new Color Universal Design (CUD) is sure to help those who suffer from being able to distinguish colors properly.
The FlexScan SX2461W-U monitor sports the new CUD technology that utilizes different color schemes, shapes and patterns in the colors to help people distinguish different colors where they otherwise would be unable.
The FlexScan monitor priced Â¥136,000 or approx $1,235 USD and supports full HD (1920×1200), with a contrast ratio of 850:1, and a brightness of 300cd/m2.

Ouster proceedings tend to be painful for a community, says former Mayor Joan Wagnon.
Wagnon was Topeka's mayor in 2000 when Shawnee County District Court judges removed Sheriff Dave Meneley from office.
She then monitored the situation in 2003 as Treasurer Rita Rookstool and the late Mayor Butch Felker, who had defeated Wagnon to win that office, resigned rather than face separate ouster proceedings.
Wagnon, who has spent years in the local political realm serving as a mayor, legislator and senior Cabinet official, said all three ousters proved emotionally difficult for the community.
"It doesn't feel good in the community to have people that you look up to and respect to be accused of something that's wrong," she said. "It just makes the whole community feel bad about itself."
The Topeka Capital-Journal contacted Wagnon on Wednesday after Topeka City Councilman John Campos II became the latest local official to face an ouster action. District Attorney Chad Taylor's office filed documents Monday and Tuesday seeking to remove him from office and suspend him until that decision is made.
Campos was targeted under a statute that enables prosecutors to initiate ouster proceedings to seek the removal of a public official under circumstances in which he or she engages in misconduct, neglects duties or commits a violation involving "moral turpitude."
Wagnon made it clear that her comments weren't referencing Campos. The allegations against him haven't been proven, she said, and he "deserves his day in court."
In general, however, ouster proceedings are "disturbing" and difficult on a community, she said. When a person runs for public office, there is an expectation of not only of honesty and competence, but also a commitment and enthusiasm to do your best, she said. When that doesn't happen, she said, it's "upsetting and unsettling."
"When a political official fails to perform in an expected way or in an unethical way, everybody's the loser," Wagnon said. "But the ouster proceedings are very much necessary. You need to move people that aren't doing their job out of the way sometimes."
That pain goes to a deeper level, she continued, when it involves an elected official.
"There's always a little more ownership by a community when they have actually voted for somebody than if it is a Cabinet or appointive office," Wagnon said.
Campos received 66 percent of the vote last April in winning election to the District 2 seat representing North Topeka and northwest Topeka's Oakland community.
Attorney General Carla Stovall initiated ouster proceedings against Meneley in 1999 on each of 13 counts alleging willful misconduct or violations of moral turpitude. After a seven-day trial, District Judges Matthew Dowd and Richard Anderson in 2000 concluded Meneley was guilty of three of the counts and ordered him removed from office.
Rookstool's name was Rita Cline when she served as county treasurer from 1989 to 2003 before resigning under threat of an ouster proceeding. Then-District Attorney Robert Hecht filed the ouster petition stemming from an investigation that focused on a $22,000 payment Cline made to her former office manager.
Felker's resignation in 2003 came after he had been suspended from office for nearly three weeks and was awaiting a two-day ouster trial focusing on whether he violated the Kansas Campaign Finance Act and should be forced from office.
Wagnon said she sat in on some of Felker's hearings, because the allegations involved actions linked to his 2001 mayoral race against her.
"It wasn't any fun," she said. "Butch was somebody everybody liked, but he broke the law, and he paid a big price for it. But people felt badly about it."
Shawnee County commissioners voted in September 2011 to ask Taylor to investigate whether grounds existed to oust then-Treasurer Larry Wilson. Taylor revealed in April 2012 he had concluded Wilson's actions didn't approach the level of malfeasance required to pursue an ouster.

A Few Words on Writing by Jon Malcom
Jon Malcom
Dear RvR and Erep,
In the course of time you have read articles on this game in which you could have went to the gym, played with your kids, made love to your significant other, or had dinner with your Bichon Frise.
"Mother of God I'm hungry!!."
But instead of doing something productive in your life you chose the easy route. You chose to read my article and others articles on this crappy little piece of rock we call Erepublik.
I guess what I am trying to tell writers in this game is not to throw huge walls of text at people. To be truthful I can't read about the alliance history of ONE because it's massive. So massive it lost my interest. Is it a good article? Yes it probably is,however it's flaw lies in it's not having brevity.
So in essence I ask you to ask yourself is it a good article? I think not.
Do the Boy Scouts constitute Erepublik? Well they don't, perhaps for Henwee's sake we look the other way. How many times have people written 9/11 articles only to have them pulled on grounds of the content not being in-game? Too many times.
There you have it, my few words on writing.
It should be short, sweet, and to the point.
So because you don't like large comprehensive informative writing pieces, all articles of that type are bad? What type of article you think is good is totally subjective, whether or not someone is good at writing that type of article is another story.
Indeed, I just think its important to bear in mind that there are multiple styles for writing articles, and that just because you may prefer one over the other, that doesn't necessarily make those other articles bad.
I went to the gym and then made love to your bichon frieze, all while reading this article.

What do the personnel moves (and the reporting on them) tell us about Team Obama?
- By Peter FeaverPeter D. Feaver is a professor of political science and public policy and Bass Fellow at Duke University, and director of the Triangle Institute for Security Studies and the Duke Program in American Grand Strategy. He is co-editor of Elephants in the Room.
I am tardy on commenting on things my Shadow Gov colleagues have already commented wisely upon, but as I was wont to tell my dissertation advisors back in the day, "better late than never."
Some thoughts on the security team shuffle:
- The Crocker appointment is good news for everyone concerned (except the Bush School in Texas A&M, which loses a fine Dean).President Obama is to be congratulated on cajoling Crocker back into the diplomatic fray. However, unlike my blogpost which is only a few days tardy, this move is probably a year-and-a-half overdue. Obama did his Afghanistan policy no favors by leaving Ambassador Eikenberry in his post so long even though it was evident that Eikenberry (albeit a fine patriot who has served honorably) was not able to forge the constructive relationship with either the Afghan or the coalition military partners that the job demanded. For all of the reporting on Obama's Afghan policy, I have never heard a satisfactory answer to why Obama stuck with Eikenberry as long as he did.
- The Panetta appointment is a reasonable one. It is high time a Democrat held the post, and Panetta more than checks the partisan Democrat box. His strong suit is budget, and the fiscal challenges at DoD are daunting. His appointment confirms what Obama has been signaling for quite some time: the administration views Defense as a promising place to make deeper cuts. That is worrisome, but it is reality; elections have consequences. My concerns are twofold. First, as Tom Mahnken pointed out, the system is facing some very serious civil-military relations challenges. It is not clear to me that Panetta has the background or experience to deftly handle that part of the job; the most successful Democratic SecDef I can think of, Bill Perry under President Clinton, had extensive DoD experience before he took the top job. Second, for all his strengths, Panetta is not a strategist (unlike some of the other names that were floated, such as Richard Danzig, John Hamre, or Michelle Flournoy — and unlike his predecessor). This means that the strategy deficit that FP colleague Tom Ricks earlier noted just got a wee bit bigger. It probably doesn't help that one of the most able strategists in the administration just got moved, which brings me to….
- The Petraeus appointment leaves me a bit puzzled.Why move your best strategist away from a line function to an advisory one, and one that is by tradition supposed to be scrupulously neutral on policy? For that matter, if you are insistent on moving him from line to staff, why not move him to Chairman of the JCS, the position he is most qualified for? Of course, I know the answers to these questions: the CIA has a major and growing operational role and in that respect Petraeus will likely excel; the White House wants Petraeus on a tight leash and feels that in the CJCS position he would be to Obama what Colin Powell was to Bill Clinton, a thorn in the flesh; at CIA, Petraeus is constrained from calling out the administration if policy errors lead to disasters in Afghanistan, Iraq, and/or Libya. All in all, this is a shrewd move that is optimized for President Obama's 2012 electoral strategy. How good it will be for American national security strategy is still to be determined.
Speaking of national security strategy…what about the remarkable Ryan Lizza article that indelibly imprinted the label on the Obama doctrine, "leading from behind"? I found it revealing, but not in the ways that Lizza probably intended:
- The article is in the well-worn tradition of credulous puff-pieces about President Obama's national security acumen, but even if the reporter is boosterish, if he is honest (as Lizza appears to be), he can't help but make implicit critiques.For instance, Lizza promotes the new paradigm of Obama national security as "consequentialism," a pragmatism that transcends old realist vs. idealist labels. The problem is, however, that even on their own terms the consequences of Obama's national security efforts have been dodgy — a fact that Lizza's article notes in passing. The Administration came in promising to rebalance U.S. priorities with a stronger focus in Asia and a lighter focus in the Middle East. Yet America's position in Asia is no better than what was inherited from Bush in 2008 and, by intervening in the Libyan civil war, the administration has committed the United States even more intensively and militarily in the broader Middle East.To be sure, the administration is resolutely marching to the exits in Iraq, but what have been the consequences of that thus far? For a strategy of consequentialism, the piece is remarkably light on assessing consequences.
- To me the strongest take away from the article is the apparent irrelevance of Vice President Biden. I have commented on Biden's strange absence from the foreign policy stage before and since that time he has apparently given one desultory press interview focused on foreign policy. Perhaps he has been a more vital player behind the scenes, but if so that fact escaped Lizza's extensive reporting. Indeed, junior State Department staffer Jared Cohen comes off as more consequential than Vice-President Biden, whom Lizza mentions exactly once: as being on distribution for a presidential memo.
- Speaking of that memo, Lizza's treatment of it struck a discordant note to my former staffer's ears. Lizza describes it thus:
On August 12, 2010, Obama sent a five-page memorandum called "Political Reform in the Middle East and North Africa" to Vice-President Joseph Biden, Clinton, Gates, Donilon, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the other senior members of his foreign-policy team…the President wrote. He noted …Obama's analysis showed a desire to balance interests and ideals. … Obama wrote. …Obama instructed his staff … He told his advisers to … He also wrote that…"
Inside the ellipses was all the specific content of the memo, which presumably was classified yet handed to Lizza so he could quote it verbatim and at length. I have no objections to the content, and I understand why the White House leaked it to Lizza. The memo gives the unmistakable impression that the President was completely on top of events in the Middle East (ahead of them, actually), despite the lurching and reactive flow of actual administration activity (not to mention consequences) of the past four months.
What intrigues me is what leaps out when you look at the verbs connecting the ellipses. Lizza is telling us that the president sat down, drafted a five page terms of reference for a major regional strategy review, and then gave it to his national security team much the way a professor would hand out a demanding take home exam to his top graduate students. It could have happened that way and, if it did, that would be a remarkable and newsworthy fact worth highlighting. It would show a presidential-level devotion to staff work not seen since President Carter reviewed the scheduling of the White House tennis courts. I do not know any seasoned White House hand who thinks that is how it happened, but if it did, surely Lizza should explore its significance more.
Instead, what happened, I am willing to bet, is that on August 12, Obama signed what in Clinton's day used to be called a Presidential Review Directive — a terms of reference drafted by the NSC staff with input from the interagency and then turned into a presidential tasker to be sent back to the NSC staff and the interagency to execute. The NSC staff can on their own authority direct the interagency to study something, but when it is really important it helps to have the big boss signature on it to overcome bureaucratic inertia. Certainly President Obama read the terms of reference, probably it reflected his strategic guidance, possibly he tweaked it to reflect more precisely that guidance, but it is a stretch to say he "drafted" it. White House staffers will make that stretch, but seasoned reporters usually unstretch it when they translate it for their readers. Lizza passes it along in its fully stretched form.
This is more a critique of Lizza than of the White House staffers who tried to spin him. And, to be fair, Lizza is no worse and probably a bit better than many of the correspondents reporting on the Obama White House. But in their zeal to portray sympathetically a president with whom they sympathize, I think the reporters are doing their hero a disservice. The White House flacks are trying to make their boss look as good as possible, a perfectly understandable spin effort. Usually, sympathetic reporters will tone down the spin effort so what the readers actually see is an apparently balanced but largely positive account. Instead, Lizza and others seem to pass the spin right along. To mix in a different analogy: The Obama people put their TV makeup on but Lizza didn't filter it through the television screen so what you get in natural light is a garish make-up job.

Dr. Michele Brignole,
An overwhelming amount of evidence from prospective randomised controlled trials supports the clinical efficacy and safety of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) in patients with drug-refractory severely symptomatic heart failure and ventricular dyssynchrony. CRT makes heart failure patients feel better, improves cardiac structure and function, and (hopefully) prolongs survival in some peculiar subset of patients. Since CRT is not for all heart failure patients, those who can potentially benefit need to be carefully identified.
Patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and dilatation frequently have ventricular conduction delays. This is usually manifested as a left bundle branch block (LBBB), but it often occurs in patients with narrow QRS also. This type of conduction abnormality is generally associated with delayed depolarisation and contraction of the lateral LV free wall (ventricular dyssynchrony). Ventricular dyssynchrony might contribute to disease progression. CRT can resynchronise the ventricular activation pattern by acting as an electrical bypass, thus restoring a more coordinated ventricular contraction, by two main mechanisms: pre-exciting the LV lateral wall with atrial-synchronous left or biventricular pacing and shortening or optimising the atrio-ventricular interval. Pre-excitation of the LV lateral wall allows a more coordinated ventricular contraction and decreases in mitral regurgitation by early an activation of the papillary muscle. The optimisation of the AV interval abolishes pre-systolic mitral regurgitation and prolongs the diastolic filling time. Relative optimisation of ventricular loading conditions as provided by CRT improves myocardial efficiency at no increased oxygen cost and increases the systolic function with little effect on the diastolic function. In addition to the positive hemodynamic effects mentioned above, CRT reduces sympathetic activity. With CRT, optimal responders develop smaller left ventricles and contractility is improved in the subsequent days or weeks ("reverse remodeling")(1). It is estimated that about 10% of heart failure patients meet current guidelines for the use of CRT (1).
Other than the conventional right ventricle and right atrial leads, CRT pacing requires the insertion of an extra lead into the coronary sinus. The lead is advanced into a tributary vein in order to achieve epicardial pacing from the postero-lateral LV wall. Several variations exist to this usual configuration. The CRT device has more sophisticated software and hardware than standard pacemakers and requires more extensive follow-up visits and, thus, a higher cost. These higher costs could be balanced, at least partly, by the reduction in hospitalisation and other therapies. Formal cost-effectiveness analysis have not yet been performed. Since most of these patients are at high risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, CRT devices are usually combined with automatic defibrillation capabilities (CRT-ICD).
CRT is currently indicated for selected patients with symptomatic heart failure. These patients should be in a functional New York Heart Association class III, they should have a QRS duration of 130 ms or greater, left ventricular ejection fractions of 35% and left ventricular end-diastolic diameters >55 mm for one to see improvement in symptoms, functional status, and exercise capacity (2). The efficacy of CRT for the treatment of patients with narrow QRS duration has only recently been explored as more definitive measures of detecting asynchrony by means of imaging techniques (3). There are other potential uses for CRT, and these should be evaluated in appropriate clinical trials in the future. Specifically, selected patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure might benefit from this form of therapy. Patients with heart failure with standard right ventricular pacemakers and ventricular a dyssynchrony that follows might also benefit from CRT (2).
Evidence from several clinical trials suggests that CRT improves quality of life, reduces combined measures of morbidity and hospitalisation and probably reduces mortality especially when used with a defibrillator. The magnitude of the effects largely vary between patients. The situation is almost certainly one in which some patients are showing marked clinical benefit, balanced by other patients with very little benefit (2).
Failure to achieve a long-lasting effective pacing from the coronary sinus for technical reasons still occurs in up to 15% of cases (4). Complications related to the procedure occur in up to 6% of cases (). Up to a quarter of patients who appear to be ideal candidates for CRT do not show the expected clinical and hemodynamic benefit. Whether this is the result of a less than optimal selection of pacing sites or other factors is presently unclear. Up to a quarter of LBBB patients do not show evidence of LV dyssynchrony at echocardiographic evaluation. If the predictive value of tissue-Doppler echocardiography or other imaging techniques are confirmed (5), these techniques could help provide a better stratification. Ensuring that dyssynchrony has been eliminated by careful selection of the ventricular locations for CRT therapy may reduce the number of non-responders to this form of therapy.
There are a number of issues that remain unresolved as regards CRT therapy. First, it is not clear whether dyssynchrony represents a cause or a consequence of heart failure. It seems possible that it may be a marker of progressive cardiac dysfunction. Secondly, there is a paucity of evidence as regards to potential long-term clinical benefit from CRT; clinical trials that have been done to date are relatively short, months to 1 year. Thirdly, the efficacy of CRT for the treatment of patients with narrow QRS duration has only recently been explored as more definitive measures of detecting asynchrony evolve. Can earlier application of CRT before ventricular dilatation alter the natural progression of dilated congestive cardiomyopathy? Can left ventricle-only pacing achieve long-term effects similar to those of biventricular stimulation? Lastly, CRT is expensive. Therefore, there is a need to be very mindful of these costs when recommending CRT for individual patients (2).

WASHINGTON (Oct. 6)
The refugees at the Emergency Refugee Shelter at Oswego, N. Y. will be able to supplement the small grants given them by the U. S. Government by working in farms and orchards in the vicinity, Edward Marks, officer of the War Relocation Authority, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today. They have been given permission to help pick the local pear and apple crops at the prevailing wage, Marks revealed.
In addition, the Government instituted at the beginning of this month a policy of setting up a certain number of paid refugee positions to be compensated at the rate of $18 per month. Others in the group employed in furthering the cultural activities of the camp as religious workers or teachers may be paid by private organization wishing to do so at a rate not exceeding the monthly $18. Private welfare agencies are about to set up vocational training schools and plan to sponsor a program of English training at the Shelter, according to Marks.

According to ABC News, the Air Force says a faulty valve was the source of the potentially deadly oxygen problem that has bedeviled America's most expensive fighter jet, the F-22 Raptor, for years, Pentagon spokesperson George Little said Tuesday.
On Tuesday, flight restrictions that had grounded the $79 billion fleet since May were lifted in the wake of the findings.
"I think we have very high confidence that we've identified the issues," Little said. "This is a very prudent way to ensure that we, in a very careful manner, resume normal flight operations."
The mystery problem with the F-22 Raptor was the subject of an ABC News "Nightline" investigation, which found that since 2008, F-22 pilots have experienced unexplained symptoms of oxygen deprivation -- including confusion, sluggishness and disorientation -- while at the controls of the $420 million-a-pop jets on more than two dozen occasions.
Back in November of 2010, a crash northeast of the Interior Alaska city of Cantwell killed Capt. Jeffrey Haney of Joint Base Elemendorf-Richardson. Combined with numerous other reports of pilot disorientation in the F-22 fleet, the incident grounded the entire U.S. fleet for four months while the Air Force looked for the cause of the problem.
Carbon monoxide entering the cockpit was one suspected cause of Haney's crash and the other reports of pilot disorientation. It was reported that the majority of the 14 incidents of "hypoxia-like symptoms" in the F-22 pilots were in Alaska, leading some to suggest that carbon monoxide mixed with the jets' oxygen supply as the aircraft warmed up in the hangar during the winter months was a factor.
A subsequent Air Force investigation said that there was a malfunction with the oxygen supply in the jet piloted by Capt. Haney, but also that while Haney was focusing his attention for 50 seconds on re-establishing the flow to his oxygen mask, he inadvertently moved the aircraft, resulting in "spatial disorientation" that led to an unrecoverable dive. Procedure called for the activation of the Emergency Oxygen System or for Haney to lower his mask from his face. The investigation found that he did neither.
Haney's sister, Jennifer Haney, strongly disagreed with the Air Force assessment.
"I'd like to think it's easier to blame Jeff. He's not here to defend himself," she told ABC News in an exclusive interview. "To them, Jeff was a number, it feels like sometimes. But those jets are worth a lot of money."
On Tuesday, the Pentagon said the source of the hypoxia is believed to be a faulty valve in the high-pressure vest that is worn by the pilots at extreme altitudes -- one that Air Force officials believe was constricting the pilots' ability to breathe.
"To correct the supply issue and reduce the incidence of hypoxia-like events, the Air Force has made two changes to the aircraft's cockpit life support system," Little said, according to ABC. "First, the Air Force will replace a valve in the upper pressure garment vest worn by pilots during high-altitude missions. The valve was causing the vest to inflate and remain inflated under conditions where it was not designed to do so, thereby causing breathing problems for some pilots... Second, the Air Force has increased the volume of air flowing to pilots by removing a filter that was installed to determine whether there were any contaminants present in the oxygen system. Oxygen contamination was ruled out."
The Air Force first ordered its pilots to stop wearing the vests last month.
When asked at a press conference if the new solution could also account for the at least five instances in which the Air Force said ground crews working on the F-22s experienced their own hypoxia-like symptoms, Little said he "did not have specifics" on those incidents.
The defense contracting giant Lockheed Martin built 187 of the F-22s for the Air Force, costing U.S. taxpayers an estimated $79 billion. Including research, development and production among other costs, each plane has a price tag of more than $420 million.

Big beat hitmaker Fatboy Slim will bring the party to Glastonbury when he headlines the Sonic tent at this weekend's festival.
The dance-pop pioneer - born Norman Cook and best known for his huge singles Praise You and Right Here, Right Now - is a regular fixture at Glastonbury and will headline the tent on Saturday night.
The huge Sonic tent can hold 7,000 ravers, and is part of the Silver Hayes, the festival's dance music village. More than 200 dance, techno and global music acts are due to play in the tent over the weekend.
Here's everything you need to know about Norman Cook and Fatboy Slim as you gear up for the festival.
Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat
Fatboy Slim is the stage name of Norman Cook, the dance music pioneer whose big beats would become a signature sound of the late 1990s.
His 1998 breakthrough solo album You've Come A Long Way, Baby spawned a string of top 10 singles, including the Rockafeller Skank, Gangster Trippin' and seminal dance anthem Right Here, Right Now. In January 1999, Praise You, the third single from the album would become Fatboy Slim's first UK number one single.
He's also forged an influential career as a producer, working with Blur on their Think Tank album and reworking Cornershop's Brimful of Asha - which originally charted at number 60 - into a number one smash.
He's also known for his fantastic music videos, which have featured Christopher Walken flying and dancing around a hotel lobby (Weapon of Choice) and a Spike Jonze directed amateur dance troupe (Praise You).
What are his live shows like?
He's remained a popular live act throughout his career, headlining festivals the world over.
In 2002, he hosted a second free, open-air concert on Brighton Beach called the Big Beach Boutique II.
Police and organisers were expecting about 60,000 to turn up - but after a quarter of a million partygoers crammed onto the beach and the A23 was brought to a standstill, Police considered pulling the event.
Police and organisers agreed it'd be more dangerous to cancel than to go ahead, but the party was marred by overcrowding, chaotic scenes and the tragic death of a nurse.
He looks kind of familiar
You might recognise him from his previous career in classic Hull indie band The Housemartins, where he played bass on such hits as Happy Hour and Five Get Over Excited.
When the Housemartins split, singer Paul Heaton went on to form the Beautiful South and Cook found success with a string of more dance focused acts. He formed Beats International, whose debut single Dub Be Good To Me reached number one.
He found yet more success after founding acid jazz hitmakers Freak Power.
He's also been married to Zoe Ball since 1999, with whom he has a son, Woody and a daughter Nelly.
What's his Glastonbury history?
Norman Cook and Glastonbury go way back. The Housemartins opened festival in 1986, and he's been a regular fixture ever since.
He headlined the Other Stage in 2005 to a rapturous reception, and last year did a Glastonbury "tor", playing six secret gigs on the site across the weekend.

The Wreck of the S.S. Milwaukee
When Lake Michigan storms claimed the Cream City ship
The Milwaukee, captained by Robert "Bad Weather Bob" McKay, had just come through the storm, arriving earlier in the day from Grand Haven, Mich. After being loaded in Milwaukee, it was to head back to Grand Haven, but the weather had fouled considerably since the vessel's morning arrival. At the dockworkers union headquarters on Milwaukee's South Side, two crewmembers did not even bother to make their way to the dock. There was no chance, they thought, that Captain McKay would go out in such dangerous conditions.
But just past 3 p.m., to the amazement of her crew, the Milwaukee's departure whistle sounded and the lumbering vessel slowly pushed away from its dock. Aboard were 52 crewmembers and more than $100,000 worth of cargo. The Milwaukee carried 27 fully loaded train cars in her hold, packed with everything from automobiles to bathtubs and cheese. As the ship headed through the outer harbor and past the confines of the breakwater walls, a group of men watched from the windows of the 10-story Elks Club building on Wisconsin Avenue. They saw the great ship tossed violently, nearly disappearing when it fell into the trough of the huge waves the storm had produced. One of the men asked another what chances he felt the boat had of surviving. "Fifty-fifty," he replied.
The man's assessment would prove to be optimistic. Three miles off shore, the Milwaukee passed a U.S. Coast Guard light ship, which later reported the boat to be pitching and rolling badly. Meanwhile, back at the port, the storm had so badly battered the breakwater wall that nearly 800 of the concrete barriers crumbled and sank to the lakebed. At about 3:45 p.m., the Milwaukee disappeared into the storm and was never seen again.
The next morning, all corners of Lake Michigan were assessing the brutal storm's toll. Millions of dollars in damage were reported from across the region. Five ships were immediately known to be lost, with several more badly damaged or grounded. In Milwaukee, the breakwater was ruined and the clubhouse of the South Shore Yacht club was leveled. Ships long ago due in the city finally limped into port, hours behind schedule with crew and passengers grateful to have survived.
The morning papers breathlessly reported on the damage wrought, but hardly mentioned the Milwaukee. The commander of the Grand Trunk Railroad fleet, owners of the Milwaukee, proclaimed his utter faith in McKay, citing his 50 years experience on the lake. "Capt. McKay is familiar with every nook and cove on Lake Michigan and he very likely has found one in which to ride out the storm," he said.
But worries grew as the hours ticked by. By Oct. 24, as Wall Street fell into the tailspin soon to be known as "Black Thursday," the Milwaukee was now 36 hours overdue. The S.S. Grand Rapids, another Grand Truck ferry, had by now arrived safely in Michigan, having left four hours after the Milwaukee and reporting no sight of the vessel. Later that day, the S.S. Cetus, a freighter bound for Milwaukee from Chicago, came upon gruesome wreckage just off Kenosha. One, then another and another appeared around the boat—dead men strapped into Milwaukee life vests. "All about us they were hovering," the Cetus' captain reported, "like tombstones in an ocean graveyard."
Three bodies were pulled from the water near Kenosha. Another two were found near Chicago. Soon, great chunks of the doomed vessel were reported floating near various ports. On Saturday, a lifeboat was found off Holland, Michigan. It carried four frigid bodies, tied into the same lifejackets found on the others. An examination of the bodies determined they had died sometime on Friday, survivors of the wreck who died of exposure in the days that followed. Of the 52 men lost with the ship, only these nine were ever recovered.
The day after the discovery of the four bodies, another lifeboat was found near South Haven, Michigan. A waterproof case was the boat's only occupant. Inside was a scrawled note: "The ship is making water fast," it read in part. "We have turned around and headed for Milwaukee…Seas are tremendous. Things look bad. Crew roll is about the same as the last payday."
Examination of the wreckage, located about three miles off of Fox Point in 1972, found that the wheel locks on the railcars likely failed in the rolling seas, causing several cars to slide violently to the starboard side and punch a hole in the ship's storm gate. The hold chains used to secure the cars in times of rough seas were evidently never used. Divers reported them to be hanging on their storage racks to this day. With the ship taking water, the crew attempted to return to port, but the rushing waters were too much to overcome. The lifejackets and lifeboats found suggest an abandon ship order was given, but came too late to save the crew. The wreck of the ship sits today beneath about 115 feet of water. The railcars that doomed the Milwaukee still sit askew in its belly, buried with the ship and resting peacefully with its men.

Subsidies were developed to help a farmer make up money lost between the cost to produce a product and what he could sell it for. For example, if it costs $1 to grow a bushel of corn, and the market will pay only 80 cents, the government makes up the difference and pays the farmer 20 cents plus a little more so he can make a profit.
1. Each year, the Agriculture Department lends money to sugar cane processors to operate factories and to pay sugar growers for the cane or beets they deliver to the refineries.
2. In return, processors agree to pay growers set minimum prices.
3. If the market price of sugar rises, processors sell their product and pay back the loan.
4. If the market price falls, processors can forfeit the sugar to the government and not repay the loan.
5. To keep from getting stuck with a bunch of unpaid loans and tons of sugar to distribute, the government uses tariffs. Sugar is much cheaper on the world market than in the United States. The government sets quotas on how much foreign sugar can be imported into the country. By keeping out this cheaper sugar, the government keeps sugar prices higher in the United States.

The early figures were the second best for any of the five series launches, with viewing peaking at eight million and a 32% audience share.
The second episode of BBC duet talent show Just the Two of Us saw its viewers fall from 5.4 to 3.9 million.
Bookmaker Ladbrokes has former S Club singer Jo O'Meara and singer Leo Sayer as joint favourites to win Big Brother.
Former A-Team member Dirk Benedict, who predicted the experience would be a "nightmare", is joint third favourite.
Channel 4 also launched the third series of Desperate Housewives on Wednesday, screening two episodes back-to-back.
The first instalment was watched by 3.6 million, which fell to 2.8 million for the second episode at 2230 GMT.
A Channel 4 spokesman said: "We are delighted that both shows, scheduled together as a post-holiday treat for Channel 4 viewers, were so warmly welcomed by TV audiences to give us a fantastic start to 2007."
Film director Ken Russell made a spectacular entrance to Celebrity Big Brother, dressed in a garish waistcoat and bellowing out a rendition of Singing in the Rain.
The 79-year-old, who said he was a "huge fan" of the show, needed assistance to walk down the steps into the house.
Benedict, who also starred in Battlestar Galactica, made a dramatic entrance, arriving in a replica A-Team van, smoking a large cigar to cheers from the crowds.
Donny Tourette, of punk band The Towers of London, exchanged insults with the crowd, while model Danielle Lloyd was met with boos.
Other contestants include Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, ex-Steps star Ian "H" Watkins, Kenny Everett Show actress Cleo Rocos and newspaper columnist Carole Malone.
Some of the press have already labelled the line-up "nobodies" and "wrinklies".
Votes from viewers will decide which stars are ejected during the series, which is expected to last a month.
Each celebrity will nominate a charity and the money raised during the voting process will be split equally between the organisations.
In last year's show, eventual winner Chantelle Houghton had been "planted" as a non-celebrity but proved the most popular contestant.

Researchers develop and test prevention program for childhood obesity
The waistlines of children continue to grow, along with the concern about the problem. Two University of Cincinnati researchers are recruiting a school, parents and children in fighting obesity as they test a new prevention program in Meade County, Ky. After spending spring conducting focus groups with children and their parents, the 12-week program, geared toward 129 fifth-graders, will be launched at an elementary school in Brandenburg, Ky., when school begins this fall.
The obesity intervention program is the creation of Megan Canavera, a registered dietician and master's degree candidate in the program of health promotion and education, UC College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services, and her advisor, Manoj Sharma, associate professor of health promotion and education.
The UC researchers are coordinating with the Brandenburg school's physical education teacher as they test the intervention program developed around four specific components:
Regular physical activity
Enforcing healthy eating habits, such as limiting portion size, cutting soft drink consumption and adding fruits and vegetables to the children's diet Cutting back on time watching TV Improving parent-child communication to reinforce behaviors that cut back on obesity
Canavera, a 24-year-old native of Brandenburg, Ky., says she chose Meade County because of its diversity, resulting from families based around the U.S. Army Armor Center in Ft. Knox, Ky.
"Typically, urban areas are the focus of this kind of programming," Sharma says, "but we chose this area because rural areas do not have a lot of health education programs and the need there is much greater.
"Part of the problem is that children are becoming more sedentary � they're doing less and less physical activity and spending more and more time in front of the television and their computers," Sharma says. "A very high percentage of people do not eat five or more daily servings of fruits and vegetables. We're consuming sugary, carbonated drinks and not getting enough water. It's not rocket science, all of these habits lead to obesity."
The University of Cincinnati researchers expect to report results of the study on the pilot obesity prevention program by March of next year. Funding for the study is supported by a $5,000 national award from the American Dietetic Association Foundation � the Ann A. Hertzler Award. The foundation called for proposals in 2006 to address the behavioral and social aspects of childhood obesity.
Sharma is also co-investigator with UC Assistant Professor Judy Murnan on a UC|21 Alignment Grant awarded by UC International to study behaviors to prevent obesity among primary school children in China, in a partnership with Beijing Normal University. He says the research will be comparing data from the American and Chinese obesity prevention programs.

Traditional Irish Storyteller Comes to Marywood
Published on Mon, October 01, 2012
Batt Burns, a "seanchai," or Irish storyteller, will be performing on Tuesday, October 2, at 7 p.m., in the Comerford Theater, Science Building. At 6:30 p.m., students who participated in a recent study abroad trip across Ireland with two faculty members will also host a panel discussion about their experiences.
Lindsey Wotanis, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Communication Arts Department, along with Laurie McMillian, Ph.D., associate professor, who chairs the English Department, met Burns this summer while in Ireland.
"We had the pleasure of working with Burns last summer," said Dr. Wotanis. "The students loved him, and we thought he was great, too. That prompted us to see if he would be interested in performing at the university."
Burns engages audiences with accounts of Irish folklore, witty jokes, and evocative poetry. Before becoming a full-time storyteller, Burns was an elementary school principal in Sneem, Ireland.

Following a winter break, A Play, A Pie and A Pint makes a welcome return with Ann Marie di Mambro's gentle, lightweight comedy about a couple of loveless singletons and their elderly parents.
Directed by Liz Carruthers, and starring River City's Libby McArthur, Finlay Mclean, Alan McHugh and Anne Kidd, this is, if truth be told, a rather tame and tepid start to proceedings. Hopefully there will be more engaging, challenging, and entertaining work to come in the following months.
As it is, the somewhat sluggish set sees mummy's boy Jim (McHugh) enter into the life of McArthur's disappointed fiftysomething Diane when he escorts her father back to his house after the old codger has forgotten where he parked his car.
Loading article content
From there we predictably flit between both households as Jim's sex-starved and Sopranos-loving mother Sadie, played by Kidd, contemplates seducing the new neighbour; Diane's secret assignation in the Borders is revealed as a desperate throw of the dice by a lonely woman and Jim starts to look like perfect boyfriend material by play's end.
Given how little depth there is to either the writing or characterisation on show, the four-strong cast do their best to bring some warmth and life to this generation-gap piece about wanting the best for your kids.
But the pedestrian, old-fashioned production succeeds only in raising an amusing smile from time to time. And there's no disguising this is sitcom-lite fare, while amusing enough in parts, and doesn't carry enough dramatic weight to make it anything more than a passing pleasure soon forgotten.

Discussion in 'Football Forum' started by 68-99-08, Apr 8, 2008.
apparently joyriding....
Man, that's no good. Get well soon, lad.
Not funny. Get well soon.
Well thats all if ever seen a scouser be able to do, nice to see he's made a full recovery then
Honestly though if he was joy riding he deserved to break his fecking back and be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, it's twats like that who cause serious injuries on the road yet walk away unscathed themselves
Is funny, feck him.
No need for that, even if he was joyriding.
Not funny.
Show some respect.
"We would also like to extend our deepest sympathies to those who lost loved ones in the crash."
this is not funny , he killed someone
his life is over
hilarious for the couple of people that died in it and their families.
i didn't think he was driving??
passenger by all accounts. not good either way.
Two teenagers are gone...
fecking cnuts
I bet Liverpool fecking keep him as Captain aswell. what a role model for youngsters
Cue a fecking minutes silence at Liverpools next match too
RIP to the two who lost their lives
feck off you cock. two people are dead and you resort to petty point scoring.
Where does it say he was joyriding?
What an absolute imbecile.
Thoughts are with the families of the deceased and hope the rest make a full recovery.
How the feck is that point scoring you fecking wanker
For the record a friend of mine died after being hit by joy riders 5 years ago and it fecking gets my back up that people do it, whats worse is that people support them for it after, the bloke shouldn't even be allowed into hospital if he was joy riding
So if you think i'm point scoring you can feck off, I suggest you go take a long look in the mirror and sort your fecking life out if you think that all this comes down to is point scoring
my sentiments exactly.
grow up and stop being a cock
pointless and classless...
Hope the lad recovers.
IF it was joyriding I hope the books thrown at him.
So you did take a look in that mirror then, no need to say it on here though
In future when your looking in the mirror just keep your thoughts in your head that way the whole of the cafe doesn't know what your thinking
Calm down people....
cockney hammer said. then he got all upset about it.
What does joyriding mean in the first place?
Read the first post.
If he's the one driving, I couldn't give a damn, speeding is something you did out of consiousness that it is wrong and dangerous, you did that, you know the consequences
However, still as a human being... get well soon!
Stealing a car for the sake of it.
"Taking Without Owner's Consent" as it is legally called.
I've checked, for stealing a car resulting in a death carries 14 years.
i have. it says appantly joy riding, but i dont see it in any of the articles about it. even if he was joy riding, its still not good.
that post makes no sense whatsoever.
People should not be such arsewipes and say this is funny. This sort of thing should transcend partizan rivalry.
Hope the lad makes a full recovery.
I got a feeling someone's going to get banned because of this thread.
Get well soon!
cue the candles!!
Second this.
No point chucking accusations, just think about those who lost their lives, not someone's stupidity.
i'm sure yourself, that cockney hammer wanker and a few others will be gutted to know that the police have said it wasnt joy riding
Grow up,and stop being such a suckhole to the mancs as well. Kiss ass.
To any of the Liverpool fans, I know there are more important things to talk about here, but is this kid highly rated at all?
Separate names with a comma.

This is good news. I spent some time hacking at LDAP and wasn't as successful. I was interested in using it for e-mail directories.

is the sender - or receiving system - at fault for this error?
Hi all,
I've built a dovecot/MailScanner (postfix)/postgrey server over the past year or so, everything's going fine EXCEPT...
when one particular sender attempts to mail one of my users, it bounces with this:
Perhaps the sender's address isn't configured properly? something wrong with her headers? Or is there something wrong with my system?
Since others can send to the address, the address exists rather than what the error message is telling you.
However, the fact that you get the message says that the target mail server is not reporting that the address exists when YOUR messages are presented for delivery. In short, you knock on their door, but get "no one by that name lives here."
This sounds like a "white list" -- "black list" issue to me. (Others with more mail server admin knowledge might be able to say better or more accurately.) In short, something about YOUR message, as sender, is not acceptable to their servers. White and black lists are security measures to combat spam and other email based scum-ware attacks. These lists might affect only email, but might also affect access to web pages or other internet services.
Bonne chance,
~~~ 0;-Dan

In order to make sure Florida Gators-related news stories don't fall through the cracks, once or twice a week Orange & Blue News will keep you up-to-date with the latest goings on in the world of University of Florida athletics.
Gators gymnastics turned in a top-notch performance during Senior Night and its home finale on Friday, posting the nation's season-high team score at 198.325 as part of a rout of West Virginia (194.925). Junior Kytra Hunter registered her fifth 10.0 of the season - third on floor exercise - and senior Alaina Johnson won three event titles in the vault (9.95), uneven bars (9.975) and all-around (39.825). Florida will wrap up regular-season competition on Friday with a road meet at Missouri.
Another ACL injury sidelined Gators redshirt senior wide receiver Andre Debose last season, putting a damper on all the praise he received from his teammates and coaching staff heading into the 2013 campaign. For the first time since getting injured, Debose was made available for an interview and described to The Gainesville Sun how devastating it was to get hurt again before what was supposed to be his last season. "I went through a little slump," he said. "It was pretty tough. It was definitely hard to deal with. And it was very hard to watch last season and know you can't do anything to help. Just sit back and watch. It was a shock." Debose also said he knew how serious the injury was as soon as it happened. "I was competing at a high level. I was doing everything the coaches were asking me to do. I was buying into the program all the way," he said. "It was a freak accident. I knew right away something bad happened. There is no doubt in your mind when that happens that you've done something very wrong." Debose will be returning to UF for his final season after receiving a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA in the offseason.
The 2014 SEC Basketball Awards will be released on Tuesday and the Gators could potentially sweep the individual awards with the exception of freshman of the year.
SEC Coach of the Year: Billy Donovan - No one has been better than Donovan this season and no coach comes close to deserving the award after his team completed the first 18-0 season in league history.
SEC Player of the Year: Scottie Wilbekin - No one has been more important to his team's success than Wilbekin. Florida is undefeated on the season when Wilbekin has finished games, and he took over to lead the Gators once Casey Prather's injuries started catching up with him.
SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year: Patric Young - A two-time winner, Young could certainly capture it a third-straight year though his academic information is not available as of press time.
SEC Freshman of the Year: Julius Randle (Kentucky) - The best player on what was supposed to be the best team still deserves credit for being absolutely dominant at times this season. Randle averaged 15.4 points and 10.5 rebounds per game for the Wildcats.
SEC Sixth-Man of the Year: Dorian Finney-Smith - Averaging 9.4 points and 6.9 rebounds off the bench for Florida, Finney-Smith plays starters minutes (25.5) and has managed to be a huge part of the team despite going through a multiple-game slump in the middle of his redshirt sophomore campaign.
SEC Defensive Player of the Year: Patric Young - The Gators have the best on-ball defender (Wilbekin) and post defender (Young) in the league, so one of two should take home the award. With Wilbekin capturing Player of the Year honors, Young should be awarded for his defensive skills.
On the eve of NFL free agency, two big-time contributors to Florida's 2008 national title will be looking for work come Tuesday. Neither New England Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes nor Chicago Bears safety Major Wright is expected to be retained by his respective club but each should garner serious interest on the open market. Spikes is seen as a premier run stopper and tackler but lacks the coverage skills that many teams demand out of a middle linebacker these days. Wright has proven to be a playmaker throughout his career but is also not as good in coverage as scouts would like. One team in need of both a linebacker and safety, as it turns out, is the Miami Dolphins, which play in the stadium where Spikes and Wright participated in the biggest college game of their careers. Miami would likely be more interested in Wright than Spikes after overpaying for underperforming linebackers last offseason.
Rough as it might have been, No. 1 Florida softball dropped its first game of the season on Friday, falling 2-0 at home to Ole Miss, but recovered in a major way over the weekend with back-to-back wins (10-3, 2-0) to grab the series victory. Now standing at 24-1 (2-1 SEC), the Gators are still undefeated when freshman left-hander Delaine Gurley is on the hill (9-0). Gurley picked up both weekend victories, striking out three batters in 10.0 scoreless innings.

Hello, I just purchased your beautiful template, but when I installed in the wordpress, appeared the following message:
Warning: fopen(/home/henri974/public_html/wp-content/themes/SimpleMag-v2.1.1/style.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/henri974/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4339

Hi szklo, you need to unzip the downloaded package and install simplemag.zip located in Theme Files folder.
Please, now there is the following problem:
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the
style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
Sorry! it's done!
after I download the theme, is there a way for all of your sample pages to show up and I edit from there? Or will I have to manually build each of my pages. For example, I want to use Homepage III but I am not sure how I can use and edit the pages that you have already created.
can you help? this is my first time doing this and from the comments, I thought that I could do that without any website building experience and just edit the pages that I wanted to use.
btw, I've already purchased the theme and installed it.
Please follow the documentation "02. Homepage Setup" chapter
Hi there,
I was wondering how I make the homepage slider full screen to look similar to one of the listed websites – http://feel4nature.com
Is there a code for this? Also, I am using a custom slider if that makes a difference.
Hi Macca There is no option for this by default, it was created by site owner.
I tried to import the demo files and got this message:

Hi, very sorry about that. Seems like some images were not uploaded. It won't harm your site in any way, you can upload your own Featured Image for each post.
Hi, Is there an option to remove the zooming and color overlay you get when you hover above a post thumbnail?
Hi woodwinked, for support questions please register at our support forum http://www.themesindep.com/support/
Is there an option for a full-width post?
Thanks! - Lil
Hi Lil, currently this option is not available.
Hi, I'm considering buying your theme. Just a few questions. 1) is it possible to set up the effect of "blurred" or "grayed out" featured images on home page that turns "clear/sharp" when hovered like in this example: http://tuuta.lv/ 2) is your page builder compatible with Visual Composer or is it something custom-made? I'm asking because we're used to Visual Composer and are using it in all projects. Also, because we use some add-ons for Visual Composer.
Thank you in advance.
Hi balticsamurai, thank you for your interest. Theme have no effect like in your example, but probably it can be achieved with additional coding. Theme's page builder is different than Visual Composer, it's not related, it's different software.
thank you for your prompt and fulfilling reply
I'm very interested in this theme but I'm worried as the last time it's been updated was last AUGUST (2013)!? Am I missing something here or has this theme really not been updated since last year?
If so, why? Thanks!
Hi pausethemoment, thank you for your interest. We work on the update 3.0 with lots of new features and improvements. We'll upload it as soon as it's ready.
Just have one question before purchase. Can I choose left sidebar in homepage?
Sorry one more question, can I set the menu "fixed"?
Hi coffeetiger, thank you for your interest. Both features are not currently supported, but will be available in the next theme version.
Really interested in your theme!
Just a few Pre-Sale Questions :
1. Does home page support grid style (2 columns) + SideBar with pagination of all posts? Plus slider under menu?
2. When I create separate categories, ie. makeup, hair, etc, what's the default blog style? Is there option to do same as home page (Grid Style 2 columns + Sidebar)?
3. Are all the thumbnails the same size if in grid style? ie. hard crop no matter the size of the image?
4. Is it possible to place an ad at the top of the website ie. above the top menu?
5. do you have a "Bloglovin'" social icon that I could add to the top menu?
thank you!
Hi beautyphd, thank you for your interest.
1. Homepage support 2 columns of posts using the masonry layout.
2. In categories you can add slider and make posts as masonry or list layout.
3. Thumbnails are not the same size as they create masonry layout.
4. and 5. Currently are not available.
Hi there team,
Love the design! I just need to know how to add a retina image for my logo. Right now it's blurry on the Ipad.
Thank you, Camelia
Hi Camelia, please follow this thread: http://www.themesindep.com/support/forums/topic/retina-logo/
I'm unable to enable comments on individual posts. Please help Check We Rajkot – Rajkot's Blog
Hi ayushthehell, answered at the forum and you can also follow this thread http://www.themesindep.com/support/forums/topic/turn-on-comments/
hi there, love this theme. before i purchase it. need to ask you this. i actually need it as a personal blog. is it possible to make my landing page look like this http://themesindep.com/simplemag/category/photography/ but with a slight variation. instead of how the blog entries is being hidden – is it possible to adjust it to showing all entries straight up instead of being truncated with summary text and a thumbnail.
Hi evanlau, thank you for your interest. Currently this option does not exists, but we will consider it for future updates.

Open-source goes RF
My focus comes from a desire to use as many mature technologies as I can to get to my test results quickly and inexpensively. But, I must also confess that one of my first projects after college graduation was randomly swapping components on a 915MHz capacitive sensor that no one in the company understood in the slightest. That was not the best introduction to the RF world.
However, RF is amazingly powerful, ubiquitous in our world and a valuable tool for any engineer. Sadly, my rough introduction and the high barrier to entry has kept me from digging too deeply into RF thus far in my career.
It looks like open source will come to my rescue again, this time in the form of MyriadRF. The project is sponsored by Lime microsystems and seeks to bring inexpensive, fully configurable, open-source hardware and development tools to the world.
The first board is now released and available for $299. The RF band is 260MHz - 3.8GHz. Of course, my favorite part is the example project interfacing an Arduino to the low cost MyraidRF board via SPI.
I haven't bought one yet, but it's good to know that open source will give me a path to programmable RF the next time it comes up in one of my projects. Of course, for $299 I may just get one so I have another tool ready to go in my toolset.
Have you used the MyriadRF board? Do you have a favorite RF prototyping/ test and measurement platform? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience. Please comment below.

The jazz (9-12 grade), varsity (9th grade), concert (10-12 grade) and symphonic (10-12 grade) bands each performed both holiday and non-holiday selections. The finale featured all the groups in a Christmas sing-a-long that had two bands caroling and the symphonic band playing instruments in accompaniment.
