Witch Way the Markets?
Happy Halloween to those readers to whom this holiday has relevance.
October is ending and is on the verge of debunking the gurus and crystal ball readers (you know who they are) who went on crash-o-matic simply because of the season, or because the Fed has brought the credit markets to a point in the cycle that traditionally signals some bad juju or simply because of that rising wedge (which we kept a close eye on here at Biiwii.com) or a host of other reasons. Here is a news flash; the only thing that happened is the price of world's most visible index frustrated everybody except the "stocks for the long-term" crowd. It frustrated me as well. But one thing I did do in personal accounts and in analysis here was realize that events were going counter to my best laid plans and adjusted, with help from the Dow-Gold Ratio among other indicators. Here is a look at our plump and content Dow, propelled to new (nominal USD) all time highs on the backs of those who doubted it all the way through the hyped Wall St. "witching season" of September and October, which fortuitously represents the entire duration of this letter in its current format.
I wish I could proclaim that all market doubters would have been right but for the the PPT shamelessly flying the markets by remote control, putting the fix in to the crude oil market, waving a magic wand over the bond herd (and their inflation expectations) and couching the coming election in the best possible terms. But I cannot do that. Yes, I do think manipulation of markets exists, and in some cases on a grand scale. After all, what does the Fed do but manipulate "money" rates in an effort to control inflation expectations? Do Bernanke, Paulson, certain Wall Street higher-ups and members of the administration meet, confer and attempt to massage the markets? I would think so. Every time a Fed member makes a speech and his or her words get plastered all over the mainstream financial media, we have attempted manipulation of markets. So what? That is the reality and it is not going to change. Therefore, investors must operate within the given system and try to resist the urge to control the markets in their own minds. This is vital and it is also the basis of the name of our website, but it is what it is. The alternative is to "opt out", which we suggest in the form of eliminating/reducing debt and owning things (hard assets) of value first. Then one may enter the casino where all things paper are traded.
But this being Halloween, I think I will put on an old grey wig and head scarf and look into the crystal ball. What I see there is oil making headlines (this time to the downside), the stock market making headlines (the public will fret about missing the run), consumers in the US and much of the rest of the industrialized world gluttonously moving ever further out on the precipice of debt-for-consumption which is becoming structural. There are contradictory and stagflationary signs in the economy; the housing market is coming down as everybody knows yet commercial real estate booms, certain industrial sectors are hitting soft patches (see recent manufacturing data) yet the machine tool industry ($100,000 to $400,000 machines) has never been hotter, some industrial metals' prices are in correction/consolidation mode while others continue to boom, global geopolitical and local (US) political and social strife is registering at extremes and many many charts appear headed for resolution post-witching season. The chart above is one. Here is a chart of a market that has been eerily and sleepily meandering along, under the radar. The symmetrical triangle is going to break. "Which way?" is still an open question although sentiment in the gold market and much of the commodity universe is anything but frothy and that is bullish. Resistance was hit yesterday, support remains near 575.
You will never find this letter promoting or cheering any asset, even one with no liabilities (in a financial world where debt dwarfs productive surplus) assigned to it. After all, gold proved to be over-valued vs. stocks in 1980. But since 2000, secular changes have taken hold in the precious metals, commodity and stock markets. This is the "big" picture as our often referred to Dow-Gold ratio chart shows stocks continuing in their bear market measured in gold. In the short term, snap-back or corrective limits are being tested. The charts show us that short term trends (out-performance by stocks and bonds) will either revert to their ongoing secular modes or transform themselves into new secular trends. I do not see stocks, from an over-bought extreme with public sentiment and greed dynamics changing and bearish sentiment on the wane, reasserting secular dominance. In USD terms, the "market" can indeed continue higher. It also has untenable risk built in at these levels. We continue to hold a healthy cash position, buying the precious metals and resource sectors on weakness and daily go through the exercise of controlling greed, fear and the tendency to run with convention (herd).
As noted, I have been adding a crude oil proxy in the form of the US Oil fund (USO) and have some copper and uranium positions. These resources largely depend on economic growth or at least the avoidance of economic melt-down, unlike gold, which could actually favor economic contraction (and resulting Central Bank dovishness), contrary to what the mainstream "inflation trade" might preach. Changes are coming. They always do. But they may simply represent a change back to the secular trend in force since 2000. We will simply have to watch, wait and see which way the winds of change blow.
ETF's and stocks relevant to this analysis include DIA, GLD, USO, NEM, GG, PD, SXR.TO

Check out the recently-added 1982 Hymnal of the Episcopal Church which contains over a thousand hymns on forty-one different topics.
Bravo to jpr5 for getting the 1982 Hymnal online. This has been a dream of mine for more than a decade. Blessings on your work! Peter Irvine
The link didn't work for me. Just letting you know.
I need to hear the tune of hymn 430 1982 episcopal hymn book
Go to this page and scroll down to the Media section, where you will find
Adobe Acrobat image: Full Score
Compressed XML score: Full Score
MIDI file: MIDI
MIDI file: MIDI Preview(Faith Alive Christian Resources)
Sibelius score: Full Score (view in Scorch)
XML score: Full Score
Now, these are listed under a hymn in the Psalter Hymnal that uses the same tune; so I suppose the arrangement may not be quite the same as the Episcopal instance. But if you just want to hear in a general way what that tune (SONNE DER GERECHTIGKEIT) sounds like, those MIDIs should suffice.
this YouTube organ rendition of it according to the Lutheran Hymnal (*which* Lutheran Hymnal deponent avereth not).
Now, what I can't figure out is why when I search for "Sonne der Gerechtigkeit" at YouTube, and then select the above-linked video entitled "At The Lamb's High Feast - Sonne Der Gerechtigkeit Hymn Tune ", a large percentage of the suggestions in the right sidebar are not this tune at all, but various mason-bashing messages ("Freemasons the most evil cult in the world*banned on TV*", "Barak Obama's a free mason ", etc.)...

Been meaning to post more about the TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which I've been quite enjoying. (I've only seen up through episode 4 so far.) But not gonna post about that right now.
Instead, wanted to mention the Alternate Reality Game tied to the show, which I just found out about via BoingBoing.
You can read a straight-faced summary of the setup (with photos and links) at Quiet Earth (a blog "Dedicated to genre film and everything Post Apocalyptic")--a San Francisco company called Enitech has invented a tachyon camera that takes pictures of the future, and they've discovered that there's an apocalypse in our near future. Then the Terminators start to come after them.
You may also be interested in the Dyson Trust website, and in BoingBoing's video.
Note that at about 3:20 in that video, the following flashes on the screen briefly:
gvnrmc uqxjay / lwyeavmks / ui / 2fw wyeiet mqyi utbsrft
(Not certain of a couple of those letters.)
No idea what it means, but figured it was worth mentioning.
I can never decide with these things whether to post about them in-game or explicitly refer to them as games. In this case, Quiet Earth did a better job than I would have of an in-game posting, and I don't have the time or energy to actually play the game anyway.

We made it!
Camel Ride
After getting into the Evangelical Theological Seminary of Cairo at 4:45am , most of us were able to sleep amidst the barking dogs. After a delicious breakfast which included vita cheese (creamy, a little bit salty, and delicious), we headed off to the Pyramids of Giza!
"When you see pictures of this last remaining ancient wonder of the world you don't realize the magnitude of this site" commented Hannah.
Our tour guide explained the Pharaohs' were trying to be like the gods which is why they mastered this archeological feat. They were attempting to be closer to the heavens while displaying their earthly power. This is also the purpose of the Sphinx, a mixture of animal and human (power and wisdom) to stand guard over those coming to visit the Pharaoh in the afterlife.
We also learned that by the time Moses and the Jews were in Egypt, the pyramids were old news; they'd been around for about 2,000 years! The history in this place is fascinating, I can't wrap my head around how long ago the Egyptians have been here and how many people have stood in this Xact spot. It's sad to think about the loss of artifacts that took place during archeological digs and "sunken ships" as Ivan speculated.
Dexter and I were fascinated that the pyramids were built before modern technology, machines, and architecture. As I ran my hand along the cool granite and noticed how one single block had eight corners, I couldn't help but wonder the time, effort, and genius it took to create these structures. I couldn't help but think as I placed my cheek on a standing block column and looked down a court yard, that the columns were so straight that they disappeared into one another, so that it was like looking at a solid wall. Will our current buildings be standing in 5010? If a people who existed before the use of the internet and bulldozers can accomplish something so incredible people still flock from all over the world to see what excuse do I have for avoiding the small challenges life throws my way?
For me, what today boiled down to was I can do anything with God, well, except run at night by myself in Cairo – which is problematic after having fallen in love with baba ghanoug.

A flurry of new job listings indicates that Apple is planning to open more hugely profitable retail stores across Virginia, Utah, and New Jersey.
Based on how the plans are shaping up, Apple's newest stores will be located in Woodbridge, Virginia as well as Farmington, Utah. The New Jersey store is expected at the Quaker Bridge Mall, which is in the general vicinity of Princeton University.
In past years, Apples job listings included not only the city and state of the future store, but the name of the shopping mall or street where the store would be located. About a year ago, the listings no longer listed the shopping mall, and sometime not even the city of the future store. That change has meant that it takes more digging from more sources to determine the actual location of future stores.
Already boasting the most lucrative square footage across the global retail landscape, Apple's retail stores now generate approximately $58 per visitor. The most recent industry projections indicate that the average revenue per Apple store is $13 million per quarter.
As of May 2013, Apple has 406 Apple Stores worldwide.

Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil Reviews
Redken All Soft Argan-6 OilI have very fine hair and it seems to never be soft and shiny. After just one use of Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil my hair was very soft and shiny. It didn`t take a whole lot of product to get that way either. A small bit did the trick. The fragrance was very light and it didn`t weigh down my hair. I even got compliments from my family and will def. be buying this in full size. I feel for the price...read more and the amount I have to use it wll come out to the same amount of money as the enexpensive ones. Thanks Total Beauty for letting me try and review a great product. — 5 years, 10 months agoroni_mahoney | 3 reviews
Love it!I have super long hair,past my rear,and I color my hair so my ends are always drier than I would like and this made them soft and healthy looking,of course it made the rest of my hair soft and lovely too but my ends are the part that give me the most problem! — 5 years, 10 months agoswest72766 | 2 reviews
Redken Argan OilI love this, my hair does not look dry or feel frizzy. It is so managable now. I will be buying this as soon as I run out. — 5 years, 10 months agoangela_barnes | 7 reviews

Great ProductI have been looking for something that helps my dry ends. I had a Japanese Thermal Reconditioning done to my hair which is fantastic but left my already very dry hair even worse. Right away I noticed a difference in the look and texture. I will be getting a bottle of this soon. — 5 years, 10 months agocaraquet1966 | 1 reviews
Loved!I have long fairly straight hair and Redken's All Soft Argan Oil did what pretty much all others do, but I loved the smell a lot more than I do most of the others. I'll definitely look into purchasing it. — 5 years, 10 months agoadmiller912 | 1 reviews
Redken All Soft Argan-6 OilI have been using Argan Complete for over a week now. I wanted to try this product because The first time I used it, it made my hair so shiney and smooth (I have fine/thin) so I cant put in too much. However, there was no greasy feel. Also, the sent of the Argan is pretty mild, its not overpowered by perfumes. The other big bonus: when I wash my hair, my hair feels much more conditioned and m...read moreuch easier to style. I LOVE this stuff! If you are a fan of MoroccanOil you would be doing yourself a disservice not trying this product! — 5 years, 10 months agoal2305 | 1 reviews

Redken Sample!I was alittle saddened by the fact the sample had broke openand had been leaking in the pouch. There was just enough to give it a go. Upon putting it in my hand, my first initial thought was it is going to make my hair really greasy! To my surprise, it did not! My hair loved it especially the ends. My hair was soft all day, no fly aways at all! Thank you! — 5 years, 10 months agolisa_filla | 1 reviews
Argan oil SampleI was not impressed. First, it works well if you use a lot but if you use a lot you have greasy hair in long run.....Then you can use iron to get some of the oil out but I think that defeats the purpose! I would not recommend this product at this time unless I get a bigger bottle and experiment more, perhaps that would help! — 5 years, 10 months agojanethu | 4 reviews

Massage spreads breast cancer cells?
- Question from DenverMom: Does massage contribute to the spread of breast cancer cells to the lymph nodes?
- Answers - Raymond Chang I think that is an ongoing concern. I don't mind my patients doing that.
- Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S. It's a big debate.
- Raymond Chang I don't have a final answer. Certain locations no. On the torso, or a foot massage, I don't feel would be a problem. It's location related.
- Beth Baughman DuPree, M.D., F.A.C.S. The jury's still out.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Traditional Chinese Medicine featured Raymond Chang, M.D. and moderator Beth Baughman Dupree, M.D., F.A.C.S. answering your questions about how to discuss Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with your cancer doctor.

When used during hot daytime hours or windy days, sprinklers that spray water into the air waste a great deal of water.
This summer, the lawn sprinklers at the Murray City cemetery have frequently been on during the day, even during rainy and very windy days. I've called the mayor's office, but the sprinklers continue to run.
Maybe there is a good reason for what's going on, but it appears very wasteful.

As a blogger, you have heard this too many times: "build your mailing list". Many people who do email marketing confess that their mistake is not to start from the beginning: building a mailing list.
We all know that a mailing list will help to:
- Driving traffic to your latest blog posts.
- Deepen relationships with content and surveys subscribers only.
- Send specific offers to help you earn more money with your blog.
But nobody tells us how, no one brings their technical "secret", ie, what resources use those earning thousands of dollars via email marketing. In other words:
How, actually, do you get people to sign up to your list? The trick is so simple, that it looks like a silly answer
What's the trick? Just put a form on your website and them will fill it out. Simple.
But… How can I create a professional-looking form? Where should I show or put my form? What are the different types of forms and if I need more than one?
The good news is that there are many plugins to create forms with WordPress that make the job easier, some free others don't, but all very useful.
The bad news is that you have so many that no one tells us which is right for you.
First of all, you have to know all types of forms there are and the possible uses for them along with their disadvantages.
#1 In the sidebar
The first way is to leave an "opt in" or form in the sidebar of your blog inviting subscription.
It is a place that all readers see, like it or not.
Most plugins are compatible with the mailing list managers.
Some plugins allow you to show different forms of exclusion based on the content of the form or article.
You may notice that now there are already blinded to these forms, since everyone uses them, and not have the desired success using it.

Hewlett-Packard was founded in the difficult times of the Great Depression. The founders were a pair of friends whose name the company still proudly bears. They started their business in an unobtrusive garage near the city of Palo Alto. It is now a national monument. HP's success lay not in copying existing products, but in the ability and courage to come up with something new.
The first commercial triumph was an oscillator that surpassed all competition in quality, yet sold at a quarter of the price. In 1968, HP released their first desktop computer - a desktop calculator. The company currently manufactures products primarily related to computer technology - computers and laptops, printers, scanners, digital cameras, servers, and last but not least, calculators.

Fugitive team formed as search for teen murder suspect continues
Wed, 20 Jun 2012 09:04:37 GMT —
A special fugitive team comprised of Flint, the Michigan State Police, and the FBI have combined forces to search for an escaped murder suspect.
16-year-old Mark Jones was last seen leaving the New Passages Psychological Center on Friday afternoon. Reported have indicated he may have stolen a van from the area surroudning the Flint Township facility.
Guards did not accompany Jones during a trip to the bathroom.
"The staff didn't keep line of sight and the mental health person came out and asked if it was ok for Mark to use the bathroom," said Fred Woelmber, Director of the Genesee Valley Deterntion Center. "W normally go with the youth and keep the youth in sight all the time."
In 2010, when Jones was just 14, he was charged as an adult for the murder of 73-year-old Merlynd Wray in Flint.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL) may not offer its upcoming wearable device in stores until early 2015, according to Re/code.
Shares of Apple were gaining 0.1% to $102.39.
While Apple may introduce the new wearable at its event on September 9, sources told Re/code that it "won't arrive at market for a few months." The device will reportedly come out sometime in early 2015. Apple's wearable device is often referred to as the "iWatch," though the report doesn't use that name.
TheStreet's Antoine Gara has more on Apple's planned product launch and also the latest in the Alibaba IPO:

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates APPLE INC as a Buy with a ratings score of A+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate APPLE INC (AAPL) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook."

In early August, University of Nebraska researchers shared in-season yield predictions from UNL's Hybrid-Maize model. The Hybrid-Maize model simulates corn yield potential under irrigated and rainfed conditions, assuming optimal crop establishment and uniformity and optimal management of nutrients, weeds, diseases, and insect pests. We showed how 2011 predicted, irrigated corn yields at two locations in Nebraska (Clay Center and Mead) had been tracking with the 30-year, long-term average yields at that point in the season.
The model showed 2011 predicted yields taking a steep drop due to high nighttime temperatures. Consistently high nighttime temperatures (minimum temperatures greater than 70°F) during late July increased nighttime crop respiration which reduced the overall net daily CO2 uptake. This hastened crop development, which shortened the predicted duration of the crop-growing season (Table 1). By early August rainfed potential corn yields predicted for 2011 varied greatly across simulated locations due to the high spatial variability in rainfall. Depending on location, predicted rainfed yield potential was above (Mead, Nebr., Concord, Nebr., Brookings, S.D., Sutherland, Iowa) or below the 30-year predicted average (Clay Center, Nebr., and Gilbert, Iowa) (Table 1).
We continued to run in-season predictions throughout the remainder of the growing season. However, some interesting things happened with the weather this year to make irrigated yields more favorable than was predicted in early August, especially at Clay Center (Table 1). Also, simulated rainfed yields by the end of the season deviated from late July predicted yields due to changes in the amount of rainfall received during the grain filling stage compared with the period before and around silking (Table 1).
While the period from silking to beginning dent occurred in 20 days or less in several areas of Nebraska this year, the weather cooled off during the grain-filling phase (minimum temperatures around 60°F at Clay Center, Nebr. and Mead, Nebr.; Figure 1, Figure 3). Some fields stayed at ¼ starch for nearly three weeks. Looking at fields, kernels continued to get deeper, heavier, and expand to help cover some of the pollination problems observed earlier in the year.
During this time, yield predictions from the Hybrid-Maize model showed that irrigated yields had the potential of returning close to, but not at the same level, of long-term median yields (Figure 2, Figure 4). Rainfall received during the grain-filling phase was adequate to support above-average rainfed yields in the simulated locations in eastern Nebraska (Clay Center, Mead, and Concord) and central-west Iowa (Gilbert, Iowa and Nashua, Iowa). However, insufficient rainfall reduced predicted yields at two locations (Brookings S.D. and Sutherland, Iowa) compared with the yields predicted in early August (Table 1).
So what happened in your fields? Hybrid Maize predicts yields based on perfect conditions — nothing limiting and no pest/disease issues. If you aren't seeing the highest potential yields in your fields, consider the following yield limiting factors that occurred this growing season.
- In many fields, corn was planted into cool, wet soils.
- In some fields uniform stand establishment was hindered by Pythium or crop residue piles caused by floating debris after heavy rains.
- There were varying degrees of pollination problems due to high temperatures in late July (an effect not simulated by Hybrid-maize and likely to reduce actual yields). We are hearing that rainfed yields have been better than expected, but irrigated yields may be below expectations.
Regardless, yields are still very good despite another interesting growing season with many potential pitfalls due to weather events.

Dissenting Without Opinion
It used to be a common practice for Supreme Court Justices to dissent without writing an opinion. Today we would think that this was strange, and as far I can tell the change came around 1940 with the retirement of the "Four Horsemen" who opposed the New Deal. Why was this norm for judicial behavior abandoned?
First, prior to 1925 the Court did not have discretion over its docket. As a result, the Justices heard a lot more cases than they do now. Furthermore, many of those cases involved federal common law (torts, contracts, etc.) that were relatively unimportant. Under those conditions, people were probably more tolerant of a Justice who simply noted his position and saved the written opinions for important cases. Second, Justices in that era only had one clerk (or before that none). Thus, if a member of the Court was elderly or ill there would be every reason to think that he could not write. Today (though we don't say so explicitly), there is a stronger expectation that such a Justice can still produce opinions.
Are there any other possible explanations?

text: Just curious- when I see talk on here about throwing out lists and starting from scratch, I wonder how it really works. Is it possible for you to really toss out your favorite names or is it more of a clear everything out then see what you still want to keep kind of thing? Trying to figure out if I'm weird or what because I think if I deleted/ tossed all my lists, I'd just remake them all with the same names.

Mississippi Valley Conservancy
Dave Vetrano, a retired DNR wildlife biologist, was among many sources who warned in a recent La Crosse Tribune story – titled "Crop boom threatens land in birthplace of soil conservation," published Nov. 12 – that the explosion in corn production is overwhelming land conservation.
The Tribune's excellent coverage, including both the national and local aspects of the issue, pointed out that high corn prices have encouraged farmers to plant on lands such as hilltops and steep slopes sensitive to erosion. The result was predictable – erosion that carves gullies in the land and harms the water quality of the streams.
Vetrano was the speaker earlier this month at Mississippi Valley Conservancy's annual banquet. He was invited to speak on the theme "A Watershed Moment" because of his long-time efforts in the region's watersheds to protect trout streams.
Helping farmers find ways to give more permanent protection for their land is the focus of a project by MVC and other partners in the Kickapoo River Watershed. Funded by the McKnight Foundation, the project seeks to identify priority areas for conservation and ways that land owners can protect their land and water quality of streams while still operating profitably.
The Kickapoo Grazing Initiative, for example, promotes grass-based agriculture and managed grazing as a sustainable and economically viable choice for farmers and landowners in the Kickapoo Valley.
Vetrano showed MVC members slides of the deep gullies of the early 1900s to remind us of how bad things got before we got conservation religion and began to implement practices such as those by the Haugens in Coon Valley, who placed a conservation easement with MVC on their farm to ensure their practices would be permanent.
That kind of dedication to protection of the soil and water of our region is what's needed to prevent, as Vetrano put it, "a return to the bad old days of the 1920s and 30s."
Yes, public support is needed to produce a federal farm bill that provides adequate funding for the Conservation Reserve Program to reduce the incentive for landowners to withdraw conservation land as has happened throughout our region – more than half of the land that was in conservation in some of the counties.
But, as we have seen, the farm bill conservation programs have not proven to be permanent. The success of land conservation in the region still remains largely with the landowners who must balance their personal land ethic with their need to produce income from the land.
When that balance tilts toward permanent conservation agreements, MVC and others in the land conservation business are ready to help.
Carol Abrahamzon is the executive director of the Mississippi Valley Conservancy.

Edifer Prisma
Buy Now...
These units are basically triangular; the sub woofer is 29cm from front to back, 24cm across at the front and 2cm across at the back and it is 22cm tall. All connections take place under a slight overhang so no protrusions.
The pair of satellite speakers are 10x12x23cm at the base and this reduces to 4x5cm at the top and includes the amount the lead juts out the back.
You can connect to anything with a 3.5mm lead, a PC is one candidate but you would need to have floor space for the sub woofer whose down firing speaker will gain even more resonance from a solid wooden floor.
The level of base available is probably more than most will want and is controlled from a wheel on the sub woofer.
Those of a not too recent vintage will remember serial ports with their nine pin connections and this is used to connect the corded remote to the sub woofer via a 1.75metre lead it ends in a matching triangular base 7x6x2.5cm for the oversize turn wheel to stand on. This is likely to only required if you connect to entertainment devices such as an audio system or an 'i' device to beef up the output from such a music device.
The satellites have 2.75inch two way mid range tweeters, the sub woofer has a 5inch down firing driver to accentuate the sound.
The already mentioned corded remote has more to offer apart from its rotary volume control as it also has both MP3 and headphone jacks as well as a red glow to remind you it is switched on and taking power in to it.
The top of the sub woofer has a touch control to take you from standby to on or in the other direction should you wish.
There is another 3.5mm jack in the back of the sub woofer ideal for connection to say a PC or other more permanent connection.
The satellites are 9watts while the sub woofer is 32watts. The overall unit weight in box is just a tad over 5kilos.
The satellites have a single lead to connect them to the sub woofer each single wire is 1.5metres with a 30cm length common to both extra to that so you should easily be able to get a three metre split between the satellites.
Most PC's tend to have rather poor speakers as do notebooks. So a decent 2.1 system can really spice up the output.
Certainly when I connected this system to my PC I noticed a huge difference to the output and even tiny events had far more to them than the odd beep or squeak. Certainly music comes alive and if you are watching a video the sound is much improved. On an audio system that has decent speakers there is not a huge difference my systems speakers are handmade and over 50 years old and were state of the art when constructed, now a simple 2.1 system such as this sound almost the same but the bass with the sub woofer gives improvement. I ask anyone with an 'i' device or MP3 player to try something like this just to see the improvement in quality.
The Edifer Prisma is available from Amazon in silver for £72.95 in silver or around £85 in white.

Tip o' the toque
Richard Chamberlain, Dallas restaurateur and owner of Chamberlain's Steak and Chop House and Chamberlain's Fish Market Grill, credits his success to Gus Katsigris, professor emeritus of culinary arts at El Centro College.
"Gus is a special man who I can never thank enough for teaching me the business of operating restaurants and inspiring me to enjoy the journey," Chamberlain said.
Katsigris, known as the founding father of food at El Centro College, will be honored March 30 for his contributions to the Dallas restaurant scene and culinary education. He has been a teacher, mentor, restaurateur and chef for more than 40 years.
Chefs in almost every Dallas restaurant kitchen have been trained through the El Centro College Food and Hospitality Institute. Katsigris rebuilt the program in the 1970s. Though he "retired" several years ago, he still has an office on campus, re-created a "Vines and Wines" course last year and checks on student-run dining services weekly. He is involved with the institute's alumni group as well as the Greater Dallas Restaurant Association and the Texas Restaurant Association.
"My favorite memory of Gus was my first day of class, fall 1978," Chamberlain said. "The passion he showed for the restaurant business, his practical teaching style, his big smile and his Greek accent made me a huge fan from day one."
At Sunday's Bits and Bites event at El Centro, area chefs will help raise money for the school's culinary arts program as they honor Katsigris.
The party will be from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Student Center, at 801 Main St.
Tickets are $45 in advance, $50 at the door. They're available at elcentrocollege.edu or at the cashier's office on the second floor of the A Building on campus. To buy tickets by mail, send checks payable to Dallas Community College District Foundation to El Centro College, Cindy Bozzelli-Duke, Business and Public Services, 801 Main St., Dallas, TX 75202.

When Naoto Kan announced his candidacy for the Democratic Party of Japan presidency last week, he told reporters DPJ kingpin Ichiro Ozawa "should remain silent" for a while after quitting as secretary general, considering how his political money scandals helped speed the downfall of Yukio Hatoyama as prime minister.
In a bid to rebuild the DPJ's image, Kan's administration will try to distance itself from the "shadow shogun" with some fresh faces in the Cabinet and party executive positions.
But experts say that while Ozawa may have slipped under the radar for now, the veteran lawmaker's career is far from over and he is bound to make waves again depending on how the DPJ fares under its new management.
"I think Mr. Ozawa made a careful strategic move," Jun Saito, an associate professor of political science at Yale University and a former DPJ member, said of the party kingpin's exit last week.
"In order for Mr. Ozawa to survive politically, the DPJ needs to win the upcoming Upper House election. Otherwise, the Diet will enter a total stalemate and no significant reforms will be carried out.
"I believe Mr. Ozawa is consciously playing the role of villain," Saito said.
The abrupt resignations last week of Ozawa and Hatoyama have already proven surprisingly effective; recent polls indicate that the DPJ's approval rate, which had been nose-diving for the past few months, hit a strong updraft.
Saito said Ozawa's resignation may have also been timely considering how an inquest panel will soon decide — possibly before the Upper House election — whether to indict him over his money scandals.
"Because of the public sentiment, it might have made a lot of sense for Mr. Ozawa to hide from the public eye — doing so will insulate him from potential damage to the party on the whole," Saito said.
The new Cabinet and party executive roster include all seven of the "nana bugyo" (seven samurai magistrates) — up-and-coming DPJ politicians — including land minister Seiji Maehara and the party's new policy chief, Koichiro Genba. Both are opponents of Ozawa.
But most symbolic of the shift from Ozawa may have been the appointment of Yukio Edano, former minister in charge of the Administrative Reform Council, as his replacement.
Speaking to reporters Monday night, the new DPJ secretary general stressed the importance of striving for a transparent and clean party to regain the public's trust. Edano announced he "will no longer receive any corporate political donations."
In a further move away from Ozawa, Jun Azumi, new chairman of the DPJ's campaign committee, has hinted he may drop Ozawa's strategy of fielding multiple candidates in the 12 districts from which two lawmakers will be elected in next month's Upper House campaign.
"As far as the personnel selection is consistent with the DPJ's winning (the Upper House election), Mr. Ozawa would be able to live with it," said Saito on whether Ozawa will feel compelled to reinject his influence. "He has already established the framework for the election by picking and fielding candidates. No matter who succeeds Mr. Ozawa, the DPJ's electioneering is based on Mr. Ozawa's grand design."
A bigger concern for Ozawa, as head of the largest intraparty group boasting around 150 lawmakers, will be the potential party policy shift under the new lineup.
Koichi Nakano, a political science professor at Sophia University, said the new administration may appeal to urbanites of a higher socioeconomic group instead of rural voters, whose support Ozawa tried to woo.
Kan, as well as Renho, the newly appointed minister in charge of administrative reform, debuted as politicians from Tokyo districts.
And Edano, although born in Tochigi Prefecture, represents Saitama Prefecture's Omiya district in the Diet.
"A generational change has taken place within the party leadership, with those in their 40s and 50s dominating the higher ranks," Nakano said.
"If Ozawa feels out of place with the new lineup, or feels the party's policies are drifting away from what he has in mind, he may be inclined to reach out to other political parties that share his views," Nakano said.
But in either case, experts say Ozawa will wait until after the election before deciding his next move.
"Ozawa has consistently proved throughout his career that he is capable of rising from the ashes," Nakano said. "And considering his voracious appetite for power, we should expect to see a lot more of him."
No expo for Kan
Kyodo News
Prime Minister Naoto Kan has decided not to attend "Japan Day" events at the World Expo in Shanghai on Saturday, which would have been his diplomatic debut as prime minister, government sources said.
Kan is likely to make his first overseas trip as prime minister when he attends a Group of Eight summit starting June 25 in Canada, the sources said, adding that former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama might go to the Shanghai event as a proxy for Kan.

Researchers have found a way to make cancer cells announce their locations by glowing bright red. By injecting so-called quantum dots into mice, a group of biomedical engineers gave mouse prostate tumors the equivalent of neon signs that could one day ease diagnosis and guide surgeon's hands.
Quantum dots are tiny nanometer-sized crystals made out of metals like silver or gold or semiconductors. Because they're comparable in diameter to the wavelength of light, quantum dots interact with light in odd ways. Change the size of a quantum dot, and its color changes. When light shines on a quantum dot, it will shine back, emitting bright light of its own.
In the 18 July online issue of Nature Biotechnology, Shuming Nie of Emory University in Atlanta and colleagues describe a way to take advantage of quantum dots' optical talents. The researchers coated cadmium-selenide quantum dots with an antibody that binds to a protein found in prostate gland tumors. When these dots were injected into the tails of mice with prostate tumors, they homed in on cancerous prostate cells. When the mice were exposed to bright light, the dots began to glow, indicating the site and size of tumors with at least 1000 cells. This is the first time that quantum dots have sought out target cells and revealed their location within a living animal.
Warren Chan of the University of Toronto envisions a future where various colors of quantum dots correspond to different proteins, and tumors of different types can be diagnosed by color coding. It's feasible because quantum dots can glow in the full range of visible light. "That's the thing that's great about quantum dots in comparison with dyes," Chan says.
The quantum dots also glow far more brightly than fluorescent marker proteins commonly used in biomedical research. But Nie says that in order to be practical for use in humans, quantum dots should glow in the infrared, which penetrates tissues better than visible light. And both Nie and Chan caution that the quantum dots have yet to be proven safe in living creatures.

On Campus; Study of Sign Language Booming at Rochester
Published: August 24, 1994
After Spanish and French, the most popular foreign language at the University of Rochester is American Sign Language.
More than 120 sophomores, juniors and seniors have already pre-registered for American Sign Language 101, filling six sections and squeezing out most freshmen.
The number exceeds the number of students enrolled in German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Greek and Latin, said Ted Supalla, the director of Rochester's sign-language program. The number of sign-language courses has more than doubled over the past two years.
Two years of studying sign language satisfies the university's foreign-language requirement, but students and teachers say the interest stems from other factors: a desire to communicate with the large deaf community in Rochester, home to the National Institute of Technology for the Deaf; careers in health or social services, or simply a new challenge.
Only a handful of colleges and universities around the country offer extensive sign-language programs. Rochester began its program in 1988 with one part-time instructor. There are now four instructors, a translator and two administrators.
Except for the very first day, all classes are taught entirely in sign language. Second-year classes teach students how to conduct more complex conversations, and there are upper-level courses in the history and culture of sign language, sociolinguistics and literature. This fall, a deaf graduate student from Japan will teach Japanese Sign Language.
The university also now has a sign language club.
"I know Spanish and French have practical uses," said one of the club's founders, Jill C. Bernstein, a junior majoring in an interdisciplinary program called health and society. "But you don't see people around campus speaking Spanish or French. I see people sitting at tables in the student union signing all the time." UMass Freezes Tuition and Fees
The University of Massachusetts at Amherst has frozen tuition and mandatory fees for the first time in 29 years after an intense lobbying effort by students, parents and school officials succeeded in getting the State Legislature to allocate more money for higher education.
Students at the university, one of the most expensive state universities in the country, had been protesting the continually rising costs -- by more than 25 percent in some years -- and one day in February they occupied the admissions building for nearly 20 hours to demand a tuition freeze.
The administration responded by agreeing to keep tuition and fees at $5,467 a year, the same as 1993-94, if the Legislature would increase state aid by at least the amount of the rise in the cost of living.
The students then took on the Legislature.
"We called all the parents of all the students who live in districts represented by members of the House Ways and Means Committee," said Mirran Raphaely, a 20-year-old junior from Worcester, Mass., who is president of the university's Student Government Association. "We got 4,000 parents to say they would call."
It worked. A $6.3 million increase in state appropriations was needed to freeze tuition at the university's Amherst campus. The five-campus system got an increase of $15 million. Truth in Grades, Dartmouth Style
While Stanford University has taken on grade inflation by bringing back the failing grade and giving more C's and D's, Dartmouth College is trying another approach: more information on report cards.
Beginning this fall with the class of '98, the college will include class size and median grades on students' transcripts. Grade inflation on the Hanover, N.H., campus has been gradual, to 3.23 in 1992-93 from 3.06 in 1976-77, on a 4.0 scale.
"Grades, without putting them into some sort of context, mean little," said Gary Johnson, a chemistry professor and the chairman of a faculty committee that proposed the change.
But some professors said the new system, based on one used at McGill University in Montreal, would increase competition among students. It will "pit one student against another," Delo Mook, a physics professor, told The Dartmouth, the daily student newspaper. "I don't think that's something we want to encourage."
One student leader said it was a worthy idea, but the wrong approach. "I think bringing institutions like Dartmouth back to a point where you are actually earning a grade, not getting a grade, but really working and learning and earning a grade is important," said the summer student-body president, Grace Chionuma, a 19-year-old junior. "But I think that struggle begins with the faculty, it doesn't begin with the student transcripts. This seems a very roundabout way of getting to a central issue."

Keeping it Open
There's no denying it. The API market is hot. This isn't news to us. We've been talking about the importance of APIs since 2006. The topic has again been brought to the forefront with Microsoft's recent acquisition of Apiphany.
Large corporations have taken notice of API management companies and there is a serious land grab happening. Some of the big players out there are looking for an easy fix. They want a quick way to check a box saying they have API management and strategy solutions. Here at Mashery (and in turn our parent company Intel), we know that you need a lot more than just a simple feature or an appliance. No matter how hot the market is, a successful API management company, needs to have the right approach.
So what is the right approach? What APIs do for a company is crucial. Businesses are opening and retooling their platforms to launch their APIs as a business. That said, the other crucial component to a successful API program is developers.
I can't stress this enough when I say the only way to achieve success in this space is to be open and flexible for developers. Developers need to have access to data and the ability to build programs without constraint. At Mashery we live and die by our developer communities. Developers are the new business development executives in the API economy. They are the true innovators, as they find new ways of building services, relationships and business models in near real-time.
Having a Mashery developer badge enables developers to move freely across our platform providing innovation for new products and services that is shared across the Mashery network. Our single pane of glass approach to API management provides any size organization with the technology to manage their API's as a business.
As a result of our flexibility and openness, there has been a major shift in the business of APIs. Developers are stepping up and changing the dialogue. They now have a voice and a seat at the table. Their opinions, thoughts, decisions are just as important as those of marketers, sales people and business development executives. They are the true champions of API programs and we couldn't be prouder of what they have accomplished in the API space.
Open networks, flexibility and innovation. That is what attracted Intel to Mashery when the acquisition was announced in May. As for what's going to happen with Microsoft and Apiphany, our best guess is that it will be absorbed into Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform, as they are no longer signing up new customers. It's pretty obvious that Apiphany, under Microsoft, will be taking a very different approach than us here at Mashery/Intel.
As a leader in the API management space, we look forward to partnering with others to help connect developers and business relationships in the global network of APIs.
