Hylafax: faxstat no modem
I am running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. I have installed Hylafax but when I do faxstat it returns 'Hylfax scheduler on server: running' but doesn't show the modem status.
The modem is an external USB modem and lsusb shows the device as a Zoom Telephonics. I have another set up that is using the same modem and that is working without any problem with the same version of Ubuntu, same modem and Hylafax version.
wvdial initializes the modem and shows sending: ATZ and then OK

Earlier this year saw the father of the Superflat art movement Takashi Murakami descend on a noble venue with his Palace of Versailles exhibition. The event in itself was controversial based on the comments made by the French Royal family regarding the content of Murakami's work. Nevertheless, the once in a lifetime event was captured in the following book published by Xavier Barral. It features 280 pages involving the exhibition with a number of intimate angles of each sculpture. The book is available now at colette.

Ratings for Dr. Charles B. Kish
Finally found a doc that cares and knows his "stuff"
I have been going to Dr. Kish for about 12 years now. He is extremely personable and compassionate. I am always impressed how he works with you on your health issues rather than just dictating a course of action. He is the reason I have stayed with LMG ever since I moved up here. My wife has since started going to LMG as a result of Dr. Kish as well. Honestly the best physician I have every gone to.
Excellent - never afraid to refer you to a specialist. Very through, knows how to explain things in laymens terms, been using Dr Kish for 35 years
Dr. Kish is an all around great doc. He has been my primary care doc. for the past 20 years...I've never felt rushed during any of my appointments. He always has "time" to answer my questions.
Dr. Kish is wonderful, he has been my primary care physician for 20 years. He takes TIME with his patients, always greets you with a warm handshake and doesn't rush you out of the exam room, even when you have a lot of questions. He does not have the "doctor ego" that so many physicians have, he is not afraid to admit something is outside the realm of his expertise, which is a trait I respect. He never guesses, he will refer you to a specialist or research something himself if he does not have all the answers. Best "bedside manner" of any physician I have ever encountered and so smart with his treatment strategies.
Compassionate, thorough and extremely patient. Our family doctor for nearly 20 years. He is honest about how much or little he knows on a given specific ailment. He will refer out to specialists when necessary and does not over prescribe medications. He has an excellent disposition, and is caring for his patients. I feel that my health has improved considerably because of his care along with my specialists.

Study to pinpoint counties' ability to pay for school construction
Posted August 22, 2016
Raleigh, N.C. — State lawmakers are spending $1 million to hire a firm to study school construction needs in all 100 North Carolina counties to obtain a clearer picture of which counties face the greatest challenges.
As students across the state head back to school in the next couple of weeks, they will return to schools that range from brand new to decrepit.
While the state pays most of the personnel costs for teachers and school employees, counties are responsible for building and maintaining schools. Wake County and other urban areas can borrow money to build new schools, but poorer counties have a hard time paying for renovations to 50-year-old buildings. Some lawmakers say it's time for the state to help level the playing field.
Sen. Tom McInnis, R-Richmond, said Scotland County, which is in his district, has the state's highest poverty rate and the highest jobless rate, which means its property tax rate of $1.03 per $100 valuation – that's also the state's highest – doesn't generate much revenue.
"They can't charge any more taxes. They're past their limit for taxes," McInnis said. "Yet, they have schools that are built in the '40s and '50s and '60s that need replacing.
"They have needs for a new school, but how to pay for it is certainly not going to be raising taxes."
Previous studies on the issue have recommended extra state funding for low-wealth counties, but McInnis said that amounts to more than 70 counties.
"We need to get it down to what real need is, and that's the bottom 20 or 30 or 40 that are historically rural, with high tax rates, with no opportunity for growth, with decreasing population," he said.
House Budget Chairman Nelson Dollar, R-Wake, said the study will examine all of those factors and come up with a long-term plan that could include more targeted assistance.
"It varies greatly whether you're talking about urban or rural or suburban or bedroom communities," Dollar said. "So, it's very much a challenge to determine what those needs are."
The legislature's Program Evaluation Division is getting bids from engineering firms to conduct the study. Although lawmakers expect it to cost more than the $1 million they have budgeted for it, they said it will be worth the cost if it helps the state spend money more effectively.

ST. PETERSBURG — Right-hander James Shields had some confidence the Rays would pick up his $7.5 million option for next season.
But after Shields found out Monday afternoon that they had, he joked that "the wait of anticipation is always fun."
Tampa Bay also picked up the $3.3 million option for closer Kyle Farnsworth before Monday's midnight deadline but chose to buy out catcher Kelly Shoppach's contract for $300,000, as opposed to taking his $3.2 million option. The Rays and Shoppach appear open to discussing a return at a different price.
"James and Kyle played very large roles in our postseason run and are ready to help lead us back there in 2012," executive vice president Andrew Friedman said. "Kelly was a significant asset defensively this year and played extremely well down the stretch, but in looking to bolster the catching position this winter, we felt it necessary to assess all of the options available to us."
Bringing back Shields, who had an All-Star season with a major-league-most 11 complete games, was a no-brainer. The Rays' team MVP is excited to come back for the only team he has known. His option could increase to $8 million if he finishes in the top five of the American League Cy Young Award voting.
"I'm glad it's over with," he said. "I had some confidence they were going to pick my option up. What I did last season I think it definitely helped the cause out a little bit."
Farnsworth also had a career year, racking up 25 saves in his first full season as closer. He had right elbow tenderness that forced him to miss a couple of weeks in September, but agent Barry Meister said he is fine. Meister said Farnsworth is thrilled to be back, playing close to his Orlando-area home.
"He really wanted to come back. He feels like he found a home," Meister said. "He's really happy."
Shoppach has been disappointing offensively since being acquired from the Indians in 2009 and signed to a multiyear deal. He hit .176 last season, .241 against left-handers.
But Shoppach's work behind the plate could make him a candidate to return. He worked well with the pitching staff and threw out 15 of 41 attempted base stealers, an AL-best 36.6 percent.
Rookie catcher Jose Lobaton batted .118 last season and was hampered by injuries. Fellow rookie Robinson Chirinos, also expected to compete with Lobaton and John Jaso, broke a bone near his right wrist last month.
Agent Ryan Ware has said Shoppach enjoyed his time with the Rays and is open to coming back.
Shields is likely to find himself in trade rumors, especially given the Rays' surplus of starting pitching. But Friedman has been reluctant to sap the valuable pitching depth, and Shields "is definitely optimistic" he'll be a Ray on opening day.
"I know this is a business," he said. "I know that they can take care of what they need to take care of, and I'm hopeful I'm in their plans."
PRICE CHECK: With left-hander David Price reaching Super Two status — earning an extra year of arbitration eligibility based on service time — he used his right to opt out of the final year of his contract and is in line for a raise through arbitration this offseason.
Price signed a six-year, $8.5 million deal after being the top draft pick in 2007 and was slated to make $2.433 million in 2012. He could make more through his first of four seasons of arbitration eligibility but remains under Rays control for those years.
MINOR MATTERS: Lefty Matt Moore won the 52nd J.G. Taylor Spink Award as the Topps/minor-league player of the year.

I Like ItThese lipsticks offer a wide variety of colors so I think there is something for everyone. It is discontinued now, but I picked some up awhile back and when I first tried them, I hated them. However, the problem was my lips not the lipstick itself. More recently, I tried them on and the lipsticks are moisturizing, but they do tend to get into the cracks and crevices of my lips. I wish the colors weren't so frosty though. The majority of the 6 I own are almost all like that... — 5 years, 6 months agoAshleyLovesMakeup | 49 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: Would love to hear a review! We are booked here through my company for the convention I'm attending. I'm limited to which hotels I can book as we need to take advantage of the shuttles to the convention. This hotel also has free shuttles to SeaWorld and Universal. If you have stayed here recently, can I ask you a few questions? How were the rooms/beds? How is the bathroom? All I really need is clean and bug-free and I'm a happy girl! If you got a room with a King sized bed, was the bathroom any nicer? (with a soaking tub or anything like that..?) We won't have a car. How close are restaurants/entertaining? What specific ones are there within walking distance? Any recommendations? What were the schedules like for the shuttles to the parks? We may want to stay late at CityWalk one night; just making sure we have a way home! Any recommendations on which building to request? Anything else you can suggest? TIA!!

No Limits 5K
Patrick Rehab and Wellness Center

150 Participants
The No Limits 5K is in honor of Curt Cannon. Curt Cannon was a fun loving seven year old boy who gave new meaning to "full of life." April 10, 2011 Curt's life and the life of his family was forever changed when he was hit by a car while riding his bike in his neighborhood. Curt was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and given a fifty percent chance of living through the night. When he did not awaken the next morning, the odds began to stack even higher against his recovery. Two weeks passed before Curt opened his big brown eyes. The doctors said it was probable he would not wake up...he did. They said he would not be able to see or communicate...he can. They said he would never walk...but on January 23, 2012 he ran. Through the love and determination of everyone involved in Curt's recovery, the prayers and dedication of his community and friends, and the grace of A Powerful God, Curt is a walking, talking, breathing miracle in progress. Curt has proven that in the race of life there are "No Limits." This years race will benefit the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and Nashville's Ronald McDonald House.

text: The latest solo release "Lost Keys" is already drawing very positive reviews nationally and is in rotation quite regularly on Philadelphia's WXPN Radio. Featuring the songs "Stupid Love", "Nobody Hurtin' Like Me" and "When Love Fades Away, it is a collection of material drawn from the music of Motown, Stax, The Sound of Philadelphia and street corner Doo-Wop. WXPN Radio says "Lost Keys" is "A sleek and soulful work from a refined tunesmith. The brass arrangements paired with his husky baritone recall The Afghan Whigs' New Orleans-rooted LP 1965; his self-described "sad guy drinking alone at the bar" ballads .("Nobody Hurtin' Like Me") have a bit of Closing Time-era Tom Waits in them; and his pop nuggets are impossibly poppy, like the Randy Newman-esque bounce of "Stupid Love" that, I guarantee you, will be stuck in your head in the best possible way!"

Morrison dismisses ex-defence chief claims
Speaking in Brisbane, the immigration minister has dismissed a former defence chief's views that Australia's asylum seeker policy breaches human rights standards.
Retired admiral Chris Barrie, who was chief of the defence force during the 2001 Tampa and children overboard scandals, accused Scott Morrison of "double handling" in returning asylum seekers to Syria and Iraq while warning of the dangers inherent in those war zones.
Mr Barrie also said the government was violating its human rights obligations, including a fundamental principle by which states are barred from returning asylum seekers to countries where they face the risk of persecution.
Mr Morrison said he respected Mr Barrie's long-held views but didn't agree with them.
"He has been highly critical of the coalition's policies on border protection and our border protection policies have proved to be working," Mr Morrison told reporters in Brisbane on Friday.
"He is a very great Australian and I thank him for the service he gave to our country, but on the issue of border protection policies, then admiral Barrie and I are in disagreement."
Mr Barrie made his comments on Thursday at the launch of international law professor Jane McAdam's book, Refugees: Why Seeking Asylum is Legal and Australia's Policies Are Not.

BERLIN (Dec. 23)
It was revealed today that efforts to effect the release of 200 youths aged 17 to 19, among thousands of Jews still held in concentration camps, have failed, meeting with the blunt statement: "They stay in camp until they can leave the country." None of the youths has an opportunity to emigrate under the existing conditions. Others, who have been offered guarantees by relatives in the United States and England, have already been released but the sole hope for the remainder is opening by some nations of a training camp where they can be trained for re-emigration.
The Netherlands Government has informed Jewish welfare circles here that Netherlands participation in the resettlement project is limited for the present to 1,000 children under 15 years of age. Present plans call for emigration to England and Holland of 800 children in the next three weeks. Of this number, 200 will go to Holland and the remainder to England.
A New Year's eve ban on Jewish cultural performances, the sole source of entertainment for German Jews, was imposed by the Gestapo today without explanation.

VENTURA, Calif. -- The prevailing thought is that a scholarship offer from Stanford changed Dave Bright's recruitment. The prevailing thought is that the Cardinal now firmly lead. The prevailing thought is that it's only a matter of time before the three-star tackle officially decides to play his college football in Palo Alto.
Problem is, Bright doesn't much care about the prevailing thought. He's not confirming anything. Ask him if it's fair to say that he's close to committing to the Cardinal, and he sends mixed messages.
At first, he seems to agree. Then comes the furious backpedaling.
"It's pretty fair to say that," he said. "But to be honest, I'm still looking at all my options."
Bright won't say Stanford is the favorite in as many words. He'd rather discuss his entire visit itinerary, which includes trips to Wisconsin, Oregon State, Arizona State and Utah in addition to Palo Alto.
But the very real, very strong draw of the Cardinal is apparent no matter how much he tries to downplay it.
"It's pretty exciting, obviously," Bright said of his Stanford offer. "It's a great opportunity and a great coaching staff. Obviously a great education, too. We're just going to have to see how it plays out. Every school that I take an official to is a possibility."
Regardless of how high he is on the idea of attending Stanford, Bright will expend all five of his allotted official visits. A date has been set for just one of them, however, and it doesn't take many guesses to figure out which one it is.
"The only date I have right now is the Stanford one," Bright said. "That's Jan. 11. Other than that, I'm still trying to decide."
Whether or not his line is genuine, Bright continues his fight to retain a bit a mystery in his recruitment. He could very well be totally undecided. He could also be making a final attempt to hide his cards.
For now, the best anyone can do is guess. And that's exactly the way Bright likes it.
"Don't count anyone out yet," he said.

WRs have strong day •
Tech back at work •
chasing a dream
Following two days of disappointing practices, Texas Tech's offense bounced
back on Thursday.
"Yeah, it was a lot better for us," receiver Tramain Swindall said. "We
wanted to come out today with more tempo and excitement, more celebration when
we made the big play. We made a lot of big plays compared to yesterday, so we
want to for sure get better from yesterday."
Click Here to view this Link.Receiver Darrin MooreClick Here to view this Link. said that the receivers decided to step up and
bring the energy today.
"Yesterday we didn't have enough enthusiasm, so the receivers took it upon
ourselves to come out and bring it to the offense," he said. "Bringing
enthusiasm on the sideline, cheering on our teammates, making plays. If we make
a play, that's going to give the offense enthusiasm, so we just did what we
could do."
The offense set the tone early in a surprise team drill that took place early on
in practice. Quarterback Seth Doege quickly guided his unit down the
field and into the endzone, leading to an enthusiastic eruption on the offensive
"It was kind of exciting," Moore said. "It was something different. We didn't
know we were about to do that. We were supposed to be doing skelly. They just
surprised us with that. It kind of gave us a little energy, enthusiasm."
Tramain Swindall, who spent his first four years at Tech as an inside receiver,
has enjoyed the move to the outside.
"Yeah, it's been a while since I played it," Swindall said. "I haven't played it
since high school. It's always what I wanted to play when I was here, but never
said anything. I'm glad I got the opportunity my last year, and I'll make the
best of it."
Swindall felt he had a rough start to camp but feels he's getting his new
position down.
"Yea, I'm starting to feel a lot more comfortable with it. I had a slow start to
camp," he said. "I was trying to do too much and trying to think too much. It's
starting to come back to me. It's starting to come natural to me, so I'm feeling
good about that."
Sophomore safety Terrance Bullitt left practice early after sustaining
a shoulder injury during team period.
"He popped his shoulder out," Tommy Tuberville said. "They popped it
back in. Hopefully he'll be fine, but you never know.
"He just ran into one of his defensive players who had their head down, which is
typical when you've got a bunch of young guys out there. This is a thud practice
and we don't tackle, but you've got to see what you hit and usually you have
collisions from other guys having their head down. That's unfortunate something
like that happens."
Receiver Darrin Moore has picked up where he left off in the spring. He
was arguably the team's most impressive wideout during spring, and has continued
to impress during camp.
Moore got a late start to the preseason, missing Tech's first fall practice due
to a personal matter.
"I feel it's been pretty good," he said. "I came in a little late, but I'm
getting back in the groove of things."
Tuberville seemed pleased with the Red Raiders' effort today, especially on
"Better energy today, a lot more enthusiasm," he said. "Offense had a little bit
of fun today and they got a lot better and they've got to keep that up."
Tuberville said the defense's struggles were partly because of some new wrinkles
that were added before Thursday's practice.
"The defense struggled today with a few new things that we put in, but that's
all mental," he said. "We'll get that. We've just got to keep trying to improve

2015 Cincinnati Football Preview: The string of solid seasons by the Cincinnati Bearcats continued last year, with the team posting 9 wins, and reaching the Military Bowl. The Bearcats went 7-1 in the AAC and ended as co-champions with Memphis and UCF. Cincinnati will look to stand alone atop the American Athletic Conference in 2015 and will lean on the arm of Gunner Kiel to get them there. Kiel is one of the most dangerous passers in the country, and threw for more than 3,200 yards a year ago. Where the 2015 Bearcats offense will look to improve is in the running game, where Cincinnati struggled for much of last season. There are a number of great home games on the Cincinnati Bearcats 2015 schedule, including Miami, UConn, and UCF.
2014 Cincinnati Football Preview: The Cincinnati Bearcats football team did not miss a beat in Tommy Tuberville's first season as head coach. The Bearcats won 9 games and earned a trip to their 5th straight bowl game. Cincinnati will look to take the next step in 2014 and win an American Athletic Conference championship. For the Bearcats to achieve that, they will need excellent play from transfer quarterback Gunner Kiel. Kiel inherits one of the top offenses in the AAC and will have plenty of help from running back Hosey Williams and senior receiver Shaq Washington. Cincy has a number of exciting games for 2014. In the non-conference the Bearcats travel to the Columbus to take on Ohio State on September 27th, and travel to Miami on October 11th. Key games for Cincinnati's AAC championship chances will be October 4th against Memphis, November 13th against East Carolina, and December 6th against Houston.
2013 Cincinnati Football Preview: Since 2006, the Cincinnati Bearcats have gone 65-26. They have also had a share at the Big East title in four of the last five seasons. However, Tommy Tuberville is now the 5th head coach in that span. The turnover at the top has become as consistent as the winning on the field. As other coaches move on to other opportunities, Cincinnati continues to be one of the better football teams in the country that no one talks about. The Bearcats have won 10 games in back-to-back seasons and will return all five of their starting offensive lineman as they look to replace their running back and top two receivers from 2012. Tuberville will need to decide on a quarterback and retool a defense that lost many starters. In the first season under Tuberville, the Bearcats welcome Temple and Louisville in the newly formed American Athletic Conference.
2011 Cincinnati Football Preview: A year after winning back-to-back Big East titles, Cincinnati struggled under the guidance of first year coach Butch Jones. The Bearcats limped to a 4-8 finish and won just two games in their conference. The team looks to rebound, and they certainly have the offensive talent to do so. If the 'Cats defense can hold up, there's no reason why they can't return to the postseason.
The offense, which scored a conference-best 27.1 points per game in 2010, will be led by senior quarterback Zach Collaros, who is equally adept at running as he is at passing. He will be flanked by talented running back Isaiah Pead. If Collaros can limit his interceptions when throwing to receivers DJ Woods and Kenbrel Thompkins, the offense will be in good shape.
The defense was questionable at times last season, yielding 28 points and more than 369 yards per game. Much of that squad is back this year, and coaches are hoping that another year of experience will shore up any holes they had. The defensive line should be strong under defensive end Walter Stewart and nose tackle John Hughes, but the secondary may still have to pick it up to be effective enough to take Cincinnati farther up the polls in 2011.
2010 Cincinnati Football Preview: In the upcoming college football season, it will be difficult for the Cincinnati Bearcats to top the dominate season that they pulled together in 2009. Last year, the team swept the Big East Conference for a first place finish and finished the year 12-1 overall.
The Bearcats ended the season third in the BCS standings and fourth in the coaches' poll, and new head coach Butch Jones will surely be looking to improve those small numbers this fall. While the team lost their quarterback to the NFL, leading rusher Isaiah Pead and star receiver Armon Binns will be looking to carry the team this year. Last season the pair scored 20 touchdowns between them.
Six weeks into the Bearcats' season, the team will square off on the gridiron at home against their oldest rivals, Miami University of Ohio, and the winner will be awarded the traditional Victory Bell. The very next week, Cincinnati will travel to the home turf of another rival, the University of Louisville, to battle in the annual Keg of Nails game.
While the team only joined the Big East in 2005, the Bearcats are out to show that they own the conference.
2009 Cincinnati Football Preview: Head Coach: Brian Kelly Cincinnati used to be known as a basketball school, but Bearcats football coach Brian Kelly is doing his part to turn them into a football school. The Bearcats head into the 2009 fresh off their first conference championship in football since 2002. Cincy's 11 wins in 2008 represent one of the best football teams in the history of their program. Now the challenge will be to follow up on that wildly successful season in the fast improving Big East Conference. If Kelly can get the Bearcats offense clicking again, then expect big things from them in 2009.
2008 Cincinnati Football Preview: Head Coach: Brian Kelly The Cincinnati Bearcats football program is coming off of fantastic season in 2007 and will be looking for a Big East title and a big bowl bid this coming season. Under head coach Brian Kelly, the Bearcats have made history by finishing the regular season with a top 25 ranking. Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati will be rocking this year as the Bearcats show their brand of high-powered passing offense and a defense notorious for causing turnovers.

The producers pick the songs for the kids for sure.Originally Posted by Dani321I agree with slayereve. What does Morgan know about 1970's songs anyways? I'm sure he didn't like any of the songs--I know I didn't.
Perhaps fox gives them advice on what to sing, but I don't believe they pick their songs for them. Case in point: AJ sang two Stevie songs back to back. Tori sang her favorite song in her audition and then again in the semi's. I highly doubt Fox would do both of those on purpose. Tori and Taylor both did Clearwater Revial songs. Would Fox really do that, and their mother allow it? I highly doubt it. But would two sisters want to sing a song by the same artist, to try to out-do one another, or, as Ryan said, to 'keep it in the family'--absolutely. I do believe Chantel picked that song, she didn't look like she hated it to me, until the judges began to critique. and as to why Jordan's instructor would say that? So when Jordan has a bad night, they'll blame it on Fox. Either that, or she's very misinformed, which I believe too.
Until a contestant and their parents come out and say Fox picks their songs, I refuse to blame fox for their "bad nights"--which is what people want.

Astrium to Provide Airborne Satellite Communications for Canadian DND
- Astrium to deliver the latest generation of airborne terminal - AirPatrol
- Secure high bandwidth communications to support Canadian northern sovereignty and coastal surveillance
The terminal, which will be delivered and supported by Astrium Services' Secure Satcom Systems, will enable DND to evaluate the technical feasibility and operational capability of an airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform. The RIFL2E project is designed to enhance coastal surveillance and support Canadian northern sovereignty.

Global Military Communications & COTS Market 2013-2023
Aidan Joy, Managing Director of Astrium Services' Secure Satcom Systems, said:
"We are confident that AirPatrol will form an integral part of Canada's RIFL2E project. AirPatrol ensures that it is possible to stream live images from airborne reconnaissance missions directly to ground based receivers and remote users.
"We relish the opportunity to actively partner with the DND and provide the satcom capability to enable the seamless transmission of secure data."
AirPatrol has been developed in response to the growing demand from military and other customers who are increasingly reliant on the secure transmission of video, multispectral and radar imagery, particularly from UAVs.
The light-weight design of the terminal, made possible with the use of composite materials, means that AirPatrol can be much more easily integrated onto a variety of aircraft than its heavier alloy alternatives, ensuring that the terminal has a minimum impact on the aircraft's overall flight performance.
AirPatrol benefits from an advanced stabilisation system that is designed to handle complex airborne manoeuvres, so that the antenna always remains accurately pointed to maintain a secure communication link at all times.
The terminal also incorporates carbon composite materials into the antenna design. The use of carbon composites permit a higher level of radio frequency (RF) path integration, resulting in improved performance when compared with standard aluminium antennas; exceptional 20Mbps data rates have been demonstrated at X-band, using the standard 60cm dish, in some cases providing at least three times the capacity of a standard antenna.

Don't Mess With the Ref – He Will Kick Your Ass [Video]
First rule of professional fighting should be:
If the ref for your fight has anger management issues, stop when he tells you to stop.
These two guys start their karate match (don't get technical with me if it's Tae Kwon Do or some s***), and when the ref tried to stop the fight, they don't listen to him. This triggers his slight anger management issues, and he begins to beat seven kinds of f*** out of them, and the other refs who come to stop him.

Atlanta Police Department Redesigns Beats for Patrol Officers
December 13,2011
It's been about 6 years since the Atlanta Police Department has done a redesign like this. APD spokesman, Carlos Campos says that it's being done because some officers would regularly have to spend their entire shift going from one 911 call to another.
"We want every officer to not only respond to 911 calls, but to also proactively police. That means we want them out of their cars from time to time talking to community members."
This will bring the number of beats up to 78 from the current 66. Campos says that this also means changing the size of some of those beat areas to better accommodate the needs within a certain zone.
"Some beats, for example in downtown Atlanta, are very small, but the officers are very busy because you have a daytime downtown population."
The beat changes will go into effect at 3 a.m. You can find a map of the redesign online at atlantapd.org

Wake deputy, community helps child burglary victim
Posted June 8, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — What started as a petty theft turned into a life lesson in community for a Wake County girl.
On May 22, the Bradshaw family came home to find their door pried open. Thieves had bypassed the computer, television and video game system but made off with a collection of costume jewelry from the bedroom of 10-year-old Jana Bradshaw.
"They didn't take anything worth any monetary value," mother Lisa Bradshaw said, "but it was worth a lot to her." Most of the pieces had been given to Jana by her grandfather.
Deputy Chris Jackson of the Wake County Sheriff's Office was moved by Jana's loss to do more than just investigate the theft.
"It just came upon my heart to do something positive in this young girl's life because I didn't want her to remember the negative of this incident," he said.
Jackson shared the Bradshaws' story on Facebook, opening an outpouring of generosity. He very quickly had pledges of hundreds of dollars. Brandi Burdine, of accessory retailer Charming Charlie's, donated gifts and gift cards, and Jana's soccer teammates also pitched in.
With her parents' cooperation, Jackson arrayed all the donations on Jana's bed and videotaped her reaction.
"She was thrilled, thrilled beyond belief, and it just makes you feel good," he said.
Jana burst into tears at the haul.
And then she, too, decided to give back. Among her gifts was a bracelet maker, which she used to make thank yous for each of her soccer teammates.
The gifts have helped with her emotional recovery as well. After the break-in, Jana was afraid the bad guys would come back, Jackson said.
"I've actually watched the news, and I've seen many people do it, and I never thought it would happen to me," she said.
To help her feel better, Jana's parents got her a new bedspread. And the support of her community has built back her confidence, her mother, Lisa Bradshaw, said.
"It was not necessary for people to replace what she lost, but it taught her a great lesson about giving back ... just proving the point that there are lots of good people out there who do really good things for each other," she added.
Jackson concurs.
"We need to look out for each other," he said. "It doesn't matter if you're in a uniform or not, if you've got the chance to help somebody I think you need to take that opportunity and do it.
"It warms my heart. It really does. In 17 years this is probably one of the best experiences I have had in law enforcement."

Final land acquisition notification for new layouts
Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) will shortly issue the final notification on land acquisition for the proposed Kempe Gowda and Shivaram Karanth layouts, BDA Commissioner Siddaiah said on Monday
For the proposed three other layouts- D Devaraj Urs Layout, Kyasambahalli Chagalaraya Reddy Layout and S Nijalingappa Layout- the BDA is making preparations to issue preliminary notification for land acquisition, he said.
Newly-added areas
Minister Katta Subramanya Naidu said BDA has taken up 1,554 projects to provide amenities, including road asphalting, underground drainage, culverts, drinking water supply, parks and others, at the cost Rs 650 crore in the newly-added areas of BBMP.
The Minister, who reviewed the progress of these projects along with some city MLAs, including Krishna Byre Gowda, Aravind Limbavali and Shobha Karandlaje, said BDA has been directed to cover asphalt work in places that have been left out in all assembly constituencies. Rs 10 crore has been released for this purpose to each constituency, he added.

Gosselin: Mavs' courtship of Dwight Howard is 'Mark Cuban sitting on the other side of the Shark Tank'
SportsDay columnist Rick Gosselin joined Norm Hitzges on KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket this week. Here are some highlights:
On the Mavs' courtship of Dwight Howard:
This is Mark Cuban sitting on the other side of the Shark Tank. This time, he's selling, and let's see if Dwight Howard's buying what he has to sell. I think Cuban will make it interesting. I think everything points to Houston. If you want to win a championship, that's a lot closer and I think he can be the missing piece of the puzzle. I think they're still a few pieces away here in Dallas even if Howard comes.
On if he thinks the Lakers would consider a sign-and-trade involving Howard:
To let him walk away for nothing, that's bad business much less bad basketball sense. I would think they'd have to get involved in this and try to salvage something. This is the biggest blue chip on the market and they're going to let him walk away with nothing in return? That's hard to believe.
On if the Mavs could be better off if they don't get Howard:
I don't think so because you win in this league with superstars, and Dwight Howard's a superstar. I think if you ask Mark Cuban, if he doesn't get him, he'll say yes. But Cuban knows when you can pair a couple of superstars together, you've got a chance to win championships. You can put all the good players you want together and they're not going to compete with the stars in Miami or when Oklahoma City's healthy. That's the problem. You really need the star, you need the bell cow to win in the NBA more than in any other sport. You need a free agent superstar.

FIRST-AND-10 (what you need to know about the MSU-Michigan matchup) -
Saturday's game marks the 104th meeting between Michigan State and Michigan. The Wolverines lead the all-time series 67-31-5, including a 19-11-2 record in games played in East Lansing, Mich. Michigan State is seeking its fourth-straight win in the series for the first time since 1959-62. The Spartans have three four-game winning streaks in series history (1934-37, 1950-53 and 1959-62).
The last six games played in East Lansing have been decided by a total of 25 points (MSU has a 3-3 record during the six-game stretch in Spartan Stadium, with all those games decided by a touchdown or less including two in overtime.) Michigan's last win in Spartan Stadium came on Nov. 3, 2007, 28-24.
Since 1953, the winner of the Michigan State-Michigan game has been presented the Paul Bunyan Trophy. The four-foot wooden statue was donated by then-Governor G. Mennen Williams to mark Michigan State's acceptance into the Big Ten. Since '53, Michigan leads the series 34-22-2. The trophy depicts the legendary giant lumberjack astride an axe with feet planted on a map of the state with flags representing the schools.
Michigan State ranks second among opponents in all-time victories over Michigan. Only Ohio State (44) has posted more wins over the Wolverines than the Spartans (31).
Mark Dantonio is 3-1 against Michigan and is looking to join Charlie Bachman as the only other Michigan State coach to beat Michigan in four of their first five tries. Bachman won four of his first five games against U-M from 1933-37.
Michigan State's 2011 roster features 61 players from the state of Michigan, including 12 of the Spartans' 24 probable starters for Saturday's game against Michigan.
You don't have to look far to find the key stat in the Michigan State-Michigan series. The team with the most productive ground attack has won 38 of the last 41 games. During its current three-game winning streak, the Spartans have outrushed the Wolverines, 613-274 yards (by 339 yards).
Michigan State leads the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in total defense (173.4 yards per game). The Spartans also rank among the NCAA FBS Top 10 in pass defense (second at 109.4 ypg.), pass efficiency defense (second with a 83.4 rating), rushing defense (third at 64.0 ypg.) and scoring defense (tied for third at 10.2 points per game). MSU leads the Big Ten in all of those stat categories.
Fifth-year senior Kirk Cousins is looking to become the first Spartan starting quarterback to win three straight games over Michigan. Last season, Cousins became the first Spartan starting QB to win back-to-back games against the Wolverines since Jimmy Raye (1966-67). He also has a chance Saturday to tie Jeff Smoker (2000-03) for the most wins (21) by a Spartan QB in school history. Cousins has compiled a 20-10 record (.667) in 30 career starts. His career winning percentage (tied for seventh) and career victories (tied for 10th) rank among all active NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks.
Fifth-year senior wide receiver B.J. Cunningham is off to his most productive season as a Spartan. He ranks second in the Big Ten in both receptions (38; 7.6 per game) and receiving yards (116.4 per game), and 26 of his 38 receptions (68 percent) have resulted in either a touchdown or a first down. Cunningham has caught at least one pass in 39 consecutive regular-season games, which is the fifth-longest streak in the FBS.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS - Michigan State has earned a Top 25 national ranking in the USA TODAY Poll for 20 consecutive weeks, matching its longest streak since Sept. 19, 1999-Oct. 1, 2000.
Michigan State has been a strong first-half team, outscoring its opponents, 89-27. In the second quarter alone, MSU has outscored its opponents by 45 points, 58-13.
Michigan State's defense has allowed only five drives into the red zone this season, tying Boise State for the fewest trips permitted in the NCAA FBS.
The Spartan defense has allowed only nine gains of 20-plus yards from scrimmage - the second-fewest surrendered by an NCAA FBS team, trailing only Central Florida (4). In addition, MSU has given up only three gains of 30-plus yards - tied with LSU and Wisconsin for the third-lowest total permitted in the FBS.

Senior Keshawn Martin has accounted for touchdowns in five different ways during his career (rushing, receiving, passing, punt return and kickoff return), joining Florida International's T.Y. Hilton and Western Kentucky's Darrius Brooks as the only active players in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision that have accomplished that feat.
Sophomore Nick Hill has emerged as one of the Big Ten's most dangerous kickoff returners. Hill currently ranks third in the Big Ten and 18th (tied) in the NCAA FBS in kickoff returns, averaging 26.9 yards per runback. He returned four kickoffs for 129 yards (32.3 avg.) at Notre Dame, including a career-long 42-yard return in the second quarter.
Junior Dan Conroy's .840 career field-goal percentage (made 21-of-25 attempts) ranks No. 8 among all active NCAA FBS kickers.
Michigan State defensive line coach Ted Gill served as (Michigan head coach) Brady Hoke's position coach at Ball State from 1978-80. As a senior in 1980, Hoke earned second-team All-MAC honors after finishing sixth in the conference with a team-leading 150 tackles.
Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi and Michigan offensive line coach Darrell Funk coached two seasons together at Rhode Island (1998-99) and one season at Northern Illinois (2002). Narduzzi was Rhode Island's defensive coordinator from 1998-99, and Funk succeeded him as defensive coordinator of the Rams in 2000-01 following Narduzzi's departure to NIU. When Funk came to Northern Illinois as the tight ends coach in 2002, Narduzzi was the linebackers coach. In addition, Michigan State offensive coordinator/tight ends coach Dan Roushar and Funk also coached one season together at Northern Illinois in 2002. Roushar was the offensive coordinator/offensive line coach that season for the Huskies.
Michigan associate athletic director for football Mike Vollmar spent 12 years as assistant AD/director of football operations at Michigan State (1996-2007).
Michigan director of strength and conditioning Aaron Wellman spent three years as assistant strength and conditioning coach at Michigan State (2001-03) under Ken Mannie.
Michigan State's 2011 roster features 61 players from the state of Michigan, including 12 of the Spartans' 24 probable starters for Saturday's game against Michigan: left guard Joel Foreman (Highland/Milford), right guard Chris McDonald (Sterling Heights/Henry Ford II), flanker Keshawn Martin (Inkster/John Glenn), quarterback Kirk Cousins (Holland/Holland Christian), fullback Todd Anderson (Napoleon), running back Edwin Baker (Highland Park/Oak Park), nose tackle Kevin Pickelman (Marshall), defensive end William Gholston (Detroit/Southeastern), linebacker Chris Norman (Detroit/Renaissance), linebacker Max Bullough (Traverse City/St. Francis), free safety Trenton Robinson (Bay City/Bay City Central) and punter Mike Sadler (Grand Rapids/Forest Hills Northern).
Former Michigan State All-Big Ten cornerback Renaldo Hill has been selected honorary captain for Saturday's game against Michigan. He will address the team during the pre-game meal and join the 2011 captains at midfield for the coin toss.
A third-team All-America selection by the Football News as a senior in 2000, Hill anchored a Spartan secondary that led the Big Ten and ranked seventh nationally in pass defense, allowing only 164.1 yards per game. He finished fourth on the team in tackles with 71 (55 solos, 16 assists), including five for losses (10 yards). The 5-foot-11, 178-pound Detroit native also ranked second on the team in interceptions (three) and third in pass break-ups (11).
A three-year starter from 1998-2000, Hill recorded 182 career tackles (135 solos, 47 assists), nine interceptions and 36 pass break-ups.
Following his senior season, he was selected to play in the 2001 East-West Shrine Game in San Francisco, Calif. Hill was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the seventh round (No. 202 overall) of the 2001 National Football League Draft. He spent 10 years in the NFL, including four seasons in Arizona (2001-04), one in Oakland (2005), three in Miami (2006-08) and two more in Denver (2008-09). Hill started 114 of 141 career games and totaled 596 tackles, 54 passes defended and 19 interceptions.
You don't have to look far to find the key stat in the Michigan State-Michigan series. The team with the most productive ground attack has won 38 of the last 41 games. During its current three-game winning streak, the Spartans have outrushed the Wolverines, 613-274 yards (by 339 yards).
The only exceptions to that trend came in 2007 when Chad Henne threw for 221 yards and four scores, including two in the fourth quarter, as Michigan rallied from a 24-14 fourth-quarter deficit for a 28-24 victory; on Oct. 30, 2004, when Henne passed for 273 yards and four TDs as the Wolverines rallied from a 27-10 fourth-quarter deficit for a 45-37 triple-overtime win; and on Nov. 4, 1995, when Tony Banks threw for 318 yards, including a 25-yard scoring strike to Nigea Carter with 1:24 left in the fourth quarter that gave the Spartans a 28-25 victory over the seventh-ranked Wolverines.
Michigan State is 20-31 (.392) in its last 51 games against teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 25.
With consecutive wins over No. 11 Wisconsin and No. 18 Michigan in 2010, Michigan State defeated ranked teams on back-to-back Saturdays for the first time since 1974 (Nov. 2 vs. No. 20 Wisconsin; Nov. 9 vs. No. 1 Ohio State). It also marked the first time MSU defeated ranked teams in back-to-back games since the 1999 season (Nov. 20 vs. No. 13 Penn State and Jan. 1, 2000, vs. No. 10 Florida).
Sixteen of those 20 wins over ranked teams have come while Michigan State was unranked or ranked below its opponent. Nine of the last 20 games against AP Top 25 teams have been decided by nine points or less.
Under head coach Mark Dantonio, Michigan State has defeated five ranked opponents: No. 18 (AP)/No. 17 (USA TODAY) Michigan and No. 11 (AP)/No. 9 (USA TODAY) Wisconsin in 2010; No. 22 (AP) Michigan in 2009; No. 22 (USA TODAY) Northwestern in 2008; and No. 22 (USA TODAY) Penn State in 2007. Since 1998, Michigan State is 8-8 (.500) against teams ranked in the AP Top 10, including a 5-3 record (.625) in games played in Spartan Stadium. (Note: For a complete list of all-time results against ranked opponents, please refer to pages 132-134 in the 2011 MSU Football Media Guide.)
Michigan State is one of nine schools chosen to wear the innovative Nike Pro Combat system of dress for the 2011 season. For Saturday's game, the Spartans will sport a unique design with bronze colorways, honoring the heroic armor of their historic namesake. Bronze is visible throughout the uniform, adding an authentic strength and durability synonymous with the Spartan name.
The uniform's overall innovation starts at the baselayer, as strategically placed seams, pads and cooling zones help minimize distraction and optimize protective coverage. It features customizable protection, incorporating a thin, incredibly strong carbon fiber plate. This symbolically mirrors that of the Spartan shield, which is emblazoned on the right of the baselayer. The Nike Pro Combat Deflex padding, combined with strategically placed cooling zones helps wick away sweat to keep competitors cool, while the Flywire-threaded collar allows for more breathability.
Echoing the cry of King Leonidas, the back of the collar is inscribed with the words "Molon Labe," the Spartans' defiant challenge to the competition to "come and take them!" Gloves complete the traditional Spartan headdress look.
Fifth-year senior Kirk Cousins is looking to become the first Spartan starting quarterback to win three straight games over Michigan. Last season, Cousins became the first Spartan starting QB to win back-to-back games against the Wolverines since Jimmy Raye (1966-67). He also has a chance Saturday to tie Jeff Smoker (2000-03) for the most wins (21) by a Spartan QB in school history. Cousins has compiled a 20-10 record (.667) in 30 career starts. His career winning percentage (tied for seventh) and career victories (tied for ninth) rank among all active NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Cousins ranks among the Big Ten leaders in passing yards (third at 239.4 yards per game), passing efficiency (fourth with a 143.2 rating) and total offense (sixth at 230.8 ypg.). He has completed 101-of-149 throws (.678) for 1,197 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions.
Cousins recorded his 19th career 200-yard passing game in MSU's 10-7 victory at Ohio State, completing 20-of-32 passes for 250 yards, as the Spartans ended a seven-game losing streak against the Buckeyes and posted their first win in Columbus since 1998. His 33-yard TD strike to B.J. Cunningham in the back of the end zone gave MSU a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. His 250 passing yards marked the sixth-best single-game effort by a Spartan quarterback against Ohio State.
He completed 13-of-22 throws for 213 yards, one TD and one interception in MSU's 45-7 victory over Central Michigan.
Cousins recorded his fourth career 300-yard passing game at Notre Dame while setting personal bests for pass completions (34) and pass attempts (53). His 329 passing yards are the most ever by a Spartan quarterback against the Irish (previous record: 327 yards by Drew Stanton, 2005). His 34 completions are second-highest single-game total in MSU history (school record: 35 by Jeff Smoker vs. Ohio State, 2003) while his 53 attempts are fifth-best figure in school history and the most since Brian Hoyer attempted a school-record 61 passes at Penn State in 2006. In three career games against Notre Dame, Cousins completed 72 percent of his passes (68-of-95) for 734 yards, four TDs and three interceptions.
He completed 16-of-20 passes for 183 yards and two TDs in MSU's 44-0 victory over Florida Atlantic. Cousins threw TD passes of 1 yard to Dion Sims and 8 yards to Garrett Celek.
With 222 passing yards in the 2011 season opener against Youngstown State, Cousins became just the fourth Spartan quarterback to eclipse the 6,000-yard career milestone, joining Jeff Smoker (8,932 yards), Drew Stanton (6,524) and Brian Hoyer (6,159). He connected on 18-of-22 throws against the Penguins, including an 18-yard TD strike to Cunningham late in the third quarter that gave MSU a 21-6 lead. Cousins completed his first six pass attempts for 114 yards.
The Holland, Mich., native currently ranks first in MSU history in completion percentage (.649; 557-of-858) and passing efficiency (146.0). Those figures also rank among the best in Big Ten history: third in completion percentage and fifth in passing efficiency. He is listed among MSU's all-time leaders in pass completions (second with 557), passing yards (second with 7,012 yards), TD passes (second with 47), 200-yard passing games (second with 19), pass attempts (third with 858) and total offense (third with 6,881 yards), and. In addition, Cousins ranks among all active NCAA FBS leaders in completion percentage (13th), passing efficiency (12th), passing yards (16th), total offense (16th) and TD passes (17th).
Fifth-year senior B.J. Cunningham ranks second in the Big Ten in both receptions (7.6 per game) and receiving yards (116.4 per game). In addition, Cunningham ranks among the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Top 20 in both stat categories: 11th in receiving yards and tied for 17th in receptions. Cunningham leads the team in receptions (38), receiving yards (582) and 20-yard receptions (8). Twenty-six of his 38 receptions (68 percent) have resulted either a touchdown or a first down. Cunningham has caught at least one pass in 39 consecutive regular-season games - the fifth-longest active streak in the NCAA FBS.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Cunningham already ranks as Michigan State's all-time leader in receptions with 177. He also is listed among the school's career leaders in receiving yards (third with 2,362 yards) and TD receptions (tied for seventh with 15). In addition, Cunningham ranks among all active NCAA FBS leaders in receptions (13th) and receiving yards (14th).
Cunningham had nine receptions for 154 yards and a touchdown in MSU's 10-7 victory at Ohio State, as the Spartans ended a seven-game losing streak against the Buckeyes and recorded their first win in Columbus since 1998. Cunningham scored on a 33-yard strike from Kirk Cousins to give MSU a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter. It marked his fifth career 100-yard receiving game and his third of the season. His 154 receiving yards are the most ever by a Spartan against Ohio State (previous record: 135 receiving yards by Frank Foreman, 1969).
He had three catches for 67 yards in MSU's 45-7 victory over Central Michigan, including a 54-yard grab from Cousins on the game's opening series that set up Le'Veon Bell's 1-yard TD run.
Cunningham recorded career highs in receptions (12) and receiving yards (158) at Notre Dame. His 12 catches tied for fourth most in a game by a Spartan wide receiver (record: 14 by Matt Trannon vs. Eastern Michigan in 2006). His 158 receiving yards were the most since Blair White had 186 yards against Northwestern in 2009, and the second most for a Spartan wide receiver against Notre Dame (Charles Rogers, 175 yards in 2002). It marked his second-career 100-yard receiving game against the Irish (seven receptions for 101 yards vs. Notre Dame in 2010). In four career games against Notre Dame, Cunningham had 26 receptions for 361 yards and one TD.
Cunningham became MSU's all-time leader in receptions with his 7-yard grab on a third-and-4 play on the first series against Florida Atlantic. He finished with five catches for 73 yards against the Owls.
The Westerville, Ohio, native caught nine passes for 130 yards in the 2011 season opener against Youngstown State, as he tied Trannon's (2003-06) record for career receptions with 148. His 18-yard TD catch from Cousins late in the third quarter gave MSU a 21-6 lead.
Defensive end Marcus Rush, who recorded four tackles including his first career sack in MSU's 10-7 victory at Ohio State, was selected Big Ten Freshman of the Week. It marked just Ohio State's sixth loss in its last 61 home games (since start of 2002 season).
Michigan State's defense lost its bid for a shutout with just 10 seconds remaining, as the Spartans ended a seven-game losing streak against the Buckeyes and recorded their first win in Columbus since 1998.
The 6-foot-2, 250-pound Rush sacked Ohio State's Joe Bauserman for a 7-yard loss on the second play of the Buckeyes' final drive in the fourth quarter. The Spartans produced 13 tackles for losses, including nine sacks, while limiting the Buckeyes to 35 rushing yards and 143 total yards. The nine sacks tied MSU's single-game record (fourth time; last vs. Wisconsin in 1989).
The red-shirt freshman from Cincinnati, Ohio, has started all five games this season. Rush has posted 18 tackles, with 3.5 resulting in losses (19 yards), and leads the team with six quarterback hurries.

New York (Apr. 16)
— Michael Novak, head of the United States delegation to the United Nations Human Rights Commission, charged that terrorism is a "new and sophisticated way to destroy human rights. " He pointed out that terrorists are trying to destroy human rights institutions by killing diplomats, judges and legislators.
Novak made his comments at an awards ceremony Tuesday sponsored by the American Jewish Forum (AJF) where he received the organization's Medal of Freedom. The AJF is a group committed to conservative political views, including strong U.S. defense forces, a free market system, preservation of the family and opposition to racial quotas.
In his acceptance speech, Novak recounted the anti-Israel and anti-Zionist statements made by several nations at the U N Human Rights Commission's annual meeting in Geneva last February. "You wonder what world you are in when you hear; again and again, that Zionism is the worst force of anti-Semitism. You hit your head and wonder if you heard it. But then you hear it again and again," recalled Novak.
At the human rights meeting, Novak said, "Imagine my shock when I heard, as I did hear in this room, so much hatred, so many lies, such squalid racism, such despicable anti-Semitism–all in the sacred name of human rights.
" I have heard in this chamber attacks upon Zionism in accents of a murderous hatred not heard since the days of the Nazis. It is as though this chamber has retrogressed by 40 years–as though this is not 1981, but 1941, and not in Geneva, but along the Hitler-Stalin axis, "he added.
Novak said at the AJF meeting that his speech in Geneva was backed by the Reagan Administration. He added that he was not about to come back to the U.S. without voicing what he felt was the truth about human rights. He also pointed out that the U.S. was concerned that there should be no double standards at the Geneva meeting and that the role of institutions working for human rights be stressed.
CORRECTION: The first part of the series on The Jews of Hungary, in the April 13 issue of the Bulletin, stated that 10 percent of the Jews in Hungary reside in Budapest. It should have stated, correctly, 80 percent.

I am new here, but have been scouting out these forums for a while. I tried the search function for xr55, but nothing came up, so I am just asking.
I recently purchased a new xr55 after reading some rave reviews about the sound for music / movies. I was intrigued by the reviews and thought i'd give it a shot in my new system.
Does anyone have any experience with this product on these forums? Also, what speakers would pair nicely with the panasonic xr55. A few i am thinking of...
1. Ascend Acoustics 170-SE (bookshelf), plus a subwoofer (i've heard good things about this combo)
2. Aperion Audio 533-T (tower) speakers (these look gorgeous, got a great review, and have a great return policy...i am just not sure how they would sound with the panny.)
any other thoughts?
Info: Room is fairly large - family room with natural tile floors, 12' ceilings, 12'x40' room (kitchen is adjacent).

It's Freaky-Deaky Time!
Experimentation. It's a multifaceted bit of phraseology. Scientists conduct experiments in labs to unlock the mysteries of the universe. Social networkers conduct experiments on Twitter to unlock the mysteries of memetic theory. Philosophers conduct experiments of moral turpitude to unlock the mysteries of elitist ennui.
And couples—they experiment in bedrooms (well, not always in bedrooms) to unlock the mysteries of better sex. So let's take our experimentation to the next level; after all we've covered—it's time to bring out the big guns. That's right—momma's got a brand new bag. And it's full of paddles, floggers, and restraints. It's time to get your kink on!
Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking of a cache of clichés which roughly translates to a leather-and-whips version of Dungeons & Dragons. Maybe you're thinking of terms like 'perverted', or 'abusive'. Well, it's time to get over that—BDSM, or, if you prefer the more subtle blanket term of kink, is enjoyed by all walks of life (and not just the secret underground societies who wear flowing black cloaks and carry big fraternity paddles). Which, in short, means that you needn't zipper up your mouth in order to get your freaky-deaky on. Unless you want to. Which is totally okay.
But first, for the uninitiated, let's de-acronym BDSM—sound it out with us:
Bee: bondage; i.e., restraining someone in a safe and consensual manner.
Dee: discipline; i.e., you have been a naughty monkey; therefore I shall give you the discipline you so deserve and crave (in a safe and consensual manner). It also stands for dominance, i.e.: I am in control of what happens to do, so I do what I want to, and you do what I say!
Ess: sadism; i.e., the fetish (yes, we said fetish; get over it) of deriving pleasure from causing pain to another (in a safe and consensual manner!). It also means submission, i.e.: You are in control of me, and I will do what you say and let you do things to me.
Emm: masochism; i.e., the bookend to sadism—the fetish (that word again) of deriving pleasure from being caused pain (in a safe and consensual manner).
You'll notice a recurring phrase: in a safe and consensual manner. Remember that—we'll return to it in a bit.
Still not convinced? Well, consider this: over one-fourth of the moms I've talked to have at least tried some form of BDSM. And most of 'em liked it enough to do it again.
And again.
And again.

Letting Go
BDSM Helpful Hint # 1: Wanting to let your partner take the occasional upper hand (or have them eating out of yours) doesn't mean that you're in a bad relationship, or that you're a bad feminist. Sometimes it's refreshing to just let go.
As a mother and wife, Jen (who practices being submissive with her husband regularly) sometimes feels she simply wants to let go. "I pay bills, I clean house, I plan dinners, I care for sick children, I organize clothes, fold laundry, schedule activities, and keep us on a budget. Is it so strange then, to want simply not to make any more decisions? To give myself completely, wholly, to my husband and to trust him and his magic hands? I don't think, for me, that it's so unusual that all I want to do is to simply submit."
But maybe you feel out of control a lot of the time, when the kids have a mind of their own, money is tight and you are a slave to your schedule. It might just feel good to be the one in charge and call ALL the shots (within reason, of course). This is where being the "dominant" one in the relationship comes in. This can mean anything from your partner simply letting you do whatever you want to them to giving orders and specific directions or using restraints so you are the game boss.
BDSM Helpful Hint # 2: Just because you have always wanted to hogtie your husband and make him call you mistress doesn't mean he is going to be on board. The most important thing before doing any of this is to talk about it beforehand—at LENGTH. And have a safeword.
Getting Better Acquainted with Stoplights
Which brings us to the most important step of all: communication. Before you break out the floggers and handcuffs, sit down with your partner and talk about all your wild ideas, as well as all their wild ideas. Then you'll want to form a plan for how it's all going to go down. Don't worry about killing off the spontaneity; trust and safety come first, especially the first few times around the (whipping) block.
The dominant partner needs to know their counterpart's limits—what is acceptable and what is not, how hard is too hard, and if things stop being fun, what signal will make it crystal clear that they want out. That is where the safeword comes in. Pick a word that generally never comes up during sex and that can't be confused for passionate pillow talk so there is no question when it's time to stop. Some couples use the stoplight system to communicate each other's status:
1. green—it's all good
2. yellow—don't stop, but ease off a bit
3. red—stop what you are doing RIGHT NOW
For couples in trusting relationships, employing these principles shouldn't be an issue, as long as good communication and planning is in place. Always be aware of your partner's wants and needs, and you could be on your way to bringing things to a whole new level in terms of intimacy. Without openness, honesty and respect, you might just be looking for a new blanket—for the couch; or, worse, a good divorce attorney.
"To decide to give yourself, your body and your mind over in that way," says Jen, "is a powerful gift and privilege for the receiver. And if I were to decide that I no longer wanted to give that trust, that power, to him—I would not." And her partner respecting those wishes (and being in complete control of his actions in order not to hurt her) is all important in making their sexual relationship work.
BDSM Helpful Hint # 3: Refrain from performing any acts of bondage, spanking or resistance play after a hard day at work or when you are angry or frustrated. Getting out of control while dominating your partner is a big no-no, and should be avoided at all costs.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me
Now some of you out there may be thinking that none of this sounds remotely sexy or fun, and you're quite sure that you won't be jumping in anytime soon. That's okay—it's not for everyone. After all, not everybody loves pistachio ice cream. However, there is something you might want to try that's more of a universal pleasure: sensation play.
Sensation play is just what it sounds like—using all manner of tools and toys to create wicked new sensations on your partner's (or your own!) body. Feather ticklers, vibrating massagers, hot oil, ice, wax—these may be more appealing to those who aren't into the more extreme forms of BDSM—although, one should always feel free to experiment.
Either way, it's all about exploiting the senses and providing pleasure through different kinds of stimuli.
BDSM Helpful Hint # 4: Although surprises are nice on birthdays and anniversaries, they are not as welcome in the bedroom. Hot wax on your husband's bits or a piece of ice up his ass will most likely not be met with great enthusiasm if he doesn't know it's coming. Advance warnings, in this case, are of the greatest necessity.
The fantastic thing about BDSM and kink is that, as with the ice cream, you get to pick and choose your own personal gateway to nirvana. Lina, a 26-year-old married mother of two, likes being submissive, but not dominant. "I love being submissive with my partner and doing whatever he wants me to do. I would do anything; it turns me on so much. I dated this one guy once who wanted me to be dominant and it turned me off sooooo much! I am not into my men being submissive at all."
But Rita, 37, likes both. "Both my husband and I have been both dominant and submissive. We both love the feeling of control balanced with the lack of control."
See? The possibilities are endless.
BDSM Helpful Hint # 5: Be very careful when putting these theories into practice when your children are in la casa, unless you are prepared to answer your 6-year-old when he asks what Daddy did to deserve a spanking, and why is Mommy dressed like Catwoman. If you don't already have a lock on the door, get one now. And perhaps save the stuff that causes loud, uncontrollable screaming for when the rugrats are at Grandma's house.
Or you could always invest in soundproofing...

Penn State fifth-year senior guard Jermaine Marshall has decided to forgo his final year of eligibility with the Nittany Lions in favor of a career, the men's basketball team announced Wednesday afternoon on GoPSUSports.com and Twitter.
"Jermaine and I have had several discussions recently regarding his plans for the future and he feels strongly that graduating and entering the professional world at the conclusion of the summer is in the best interest of his son and his family," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said via press release. "We thank Jermaine for his contributions to our program and wish him the best of luck."
Coming off a breakout junior season in which he posted 15.3 points per game and a team-best 59 three-pointers, second in scoring only to D.J. Newbill, Marshall was considered to be one of the cogs of a Nittany Lions' team returning the two top scorers in the Big Ten from a season ago.
That number is now one, as Marshall's departure leaves Newbill to team up with returning fifth-year senior point guard Tim Frazier, who is participating with the team this summer coming off a ruptured Achilles tendon last November.
"I would like to thank my teammates, coaches and basketball staff as well as the faculty and fans of Penn State," Marshall said via press release. "I truly enjoyed my four years at the University and learned a great deal from all of them. This is a difficult decision, but I want to provide for my son and feel the best decision for me and my family is to graduate and enter the professional world this summer."
Marshall caps his career with a total of 880 points in 90 appearances.
