Panagia Portaitissa
The icon Panagia Portaitissa ("She who resides by the door" or "Keeper of the gate") also known as Theotokos Iverskaya, and more recently the Iveron Mother of God, is a wonder-working icon of the Theotokos.
The official icon of Mount Athos is the Panagia Axion Estin, however, this icon is the most popular. It is a pre-iconoclastic Byzantine icon, with dimensions of 1.37 x 0.94 m. The entire icon is encased by an 1819 gold and silver shirt covering the entire icon except for the faces. The most unique characteristic of the image is what appears to be a scar on the chin of the Virgin.
History of the icon
This is the most famous and most revered miraculous icon of the Theotokos on the Holy Mountain. In the 9th century, during the reign of Theophilus the Iconoclast, it was the personal property of a devout widow from Nicea in Asia Minor, who kept it and honored it in her private chapel. The emperor's men who heard of this decided not to carry out immediately the order about icons, but tried to blackmail its rich owner. In the time which they gave her to collect the money they demanded, the widow took the icon and her dearly loved son and, after fervent prayer, took it to the sea and left it on the surface of the waves, so that it should not be defiled by the iconoclasts. The icon stood upright on the water and began to head towards the west, while the widow's son, following her advice, also fled towards the west to escape persecution. Later he became a monk and died on the north-east coast of Mount Athos near or in the Monastery of Clement (now Iviron Monastery), and so the anchorites round about heard from him the story of the icon.
One evening, when monks from Georgia (Caucasian Iberians) had started to live at the Monastery of Clement, an amazing phenomenon puzzled all the monks of the area: a column of fire stood upright on the sea and reached to the heavens. This vision continued to be seen for several days, and then the monks saw the icon adrift in the sea. They made their supplications to God that this priceless treasure should be given to them, and the Theotokos appeared to the devout anchorite Gabriel the Iberian and bade him to walk on the water to take the icon and to give it to the abbot and brethren of the monastery.
Nevertheless, after its reception and installation in the church, the icon repeatedly disappeared and was found above the gate of the monastery on the inside. In a dream, the Blessed Virgin told St. Gabriel that this was the place which she herself had chosen, so that she could protect the monks and not be protected by them. Thus the icon took the name of "Portaitissa," and to this day its presence in the monastery and on the Holy Mountain is regarded as a guarantee of the protection of Athonite monasticism by the Theotokos. Later, a chapel was built near the wall of the monastery in which the icon was placed, while the old entrance was closed and a grander one was built. The miracles performed by the Portaitissa are unnumbered, and are celebrated especially on August 15 and on Monday of Bright Week, when there is a procession and the finding of the icon is commemorated with a liturgy in the chapel on the shore, at the exact spot where St. Gabriel took it out of the sea.
The Moscow Version
In 1648, Patriarch Nikon of Moscow, while he was still Archimandrite of Novospassky Monastery, commissioned an exact copy of the Iviron icon to be made and sent to Russia. Almost immediately upon its arrival on October 13, the icon was glorified with numerous miracles attributed to it by the faithful. The Iverskaya Chapel was built in 1669 to enshrine the icon next to the Kremlin walls in Moscow. The chapel was the main entrance to Red Square and traditionally everyone, from the Tsar down to the lowest peasant would stop there tovenerate the icon before entering the square. After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the chapel was destroyed by the Communists and the fate of the icon is unknown to this day.
The Montreal Version
The Myrrh-streaming icon from Montreal in Canada is another newer version of the famous Portaitissa [1]. For the fifteen years (1982-1997), as myrrh continued to flow from the Icon, Brother Jose Muñoz-Cortes devoted himself to its care, accompanying it on numerous trips to parishes all over the United States and Canada, to South America, Australia, and Europe. A new Copy of the Montreal Myrrh-Streaming Iveron Icon began streaming Myrrh at the Russian Orthodox Church in Hawaii in 2007.[2] Several feast days during the liturgical year celebrate a few of these miracles.

Essential Practices
Watch the videos below to learn the basic meetinghouse care practices of successful stake physical facilities representatives.
Additional Successful Practices
Communicate Regularly with Ward Building Representatives –
Contact ward building representatives regularly. Find out if they have sufficient supplies, questions about their calling, or concerns about the meetinghouse. Try not to ask ward building representatives, "Is everything going okay?" Ask them open-ended questions that will help you understand what is happening in that ward, such as, "How well do the supplies in the member closet fit your ward's needs?"
Some ward building representatives will be more willing to proactively communicate with you than others. To ensure regular communication, you need to be proactive in contacting them.
Work Effectively with Ward Building Representatives - There are many ways ward building representatives can assist their bishop with meetinghouse cleaning and care. The ward building representative leadership page teaches several key principles that bishops and ward building representatives are encouraged to implement. Review that page to understand what they are encouraged to do. Thoroughly reviewing that page should take only about 20-30 minutes. You should also speak with each bishop to ensure that your efforts support his needs.
Resolve Problems Efficiently - You will receive reports of various problems that need attention in meetinghouses. You should report maintenance issues to the facilities manager. After reporting problems to the facilities manager, follow up with him to ensure that he received the report. Update the ward building representatives for that building on progress being made.
If your stake uses the Facility Issue Reporting (FIR) system, that is a great way to report concerns to the facilities management group.

Keith Richards Mends Fences with Mick Jagger (Again)
They may not be touring to celebrate their 50th anniversary, but the Rolling Stones are still marking the occasion -- fans can sing 'Happy Birthday' to the band while leafing through the pages of a deluxe coffee table book commemorating their career, and there's also a new documentary on the way. In an interview conducted for the film that was recently published by Rolling Stone, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards reflected on their long partnership -- and seemed to bury the hatchet in their latest public spat.
"Looking back at any career you are bound to recall both the highs and the lows," admitted Jagger. "In the 1980s, for instance, Keith and I were not communicating very well. I got very involved with the business side of the Stones, mainly because I felt no one else was interested, but it's plain now from [Richards' memoir 'Life'] that Keith felt excluded, which is a pity. Time, I reckon, to move on."
"Mick's right," responded Richards. "He and I have had conversations over the last year of a kind we have not had for an extremely long time and that has been incredibly important to me."
Addressing the row that erupted between them after he mocked Jagger in 'Life,' Richards said, "As far as the book goes, it was my story and it was very raw, as I meant it to be, but I know that some parts of it and some of the publicity really offended Mick and I regret that."

New Rochelle, NY, April 16, 2008Biotech and pharma companies are increasingly relying on cell-based assays in early drug discovery work, reports Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN). The technique can provide a quick and lower cost means of testing drug candidates for toxic effects, according to an article in the April 15 issue of GEN (http://www.genengnews.com/articles/chitem.aspx?aid=2437).
Better screening technologies, noninvasive monitoring, and more automation are driving the trend toward adoption of this technology, notes John Sterling, Editor-in-Chief of GEN. Some estimates project that the market for cell-based assays will more than double over the next six or seven years to over $230 million. This is definitely a methodology that should draw the interest of new drug developers.
More than 50% of currently marketed drugs target GPCRs, which impact a wide range of cellular processes. Multispan is looking to exploit this area and is collaborating with Promega and Molecular Devices to develop an array of applications for its GPCR cell-based assays.
Another field of much R&D interest involves protein-protein interactions. DiscoveRx created a new family of cell-based assays for the detection of protein-protein interactions using an enzyme fragment complementation assay. This system uses an enzyme acceptor, an inactive alpha-galactosidase enzyme that binds to its enzyme donor forming an active enzyme that will hydrolyze a substrate and provide a signal.

This version adds the new ten languages Google translate has recently added. The release focused on fighting the warnings and bugs that have crept into Transposh in the last year.
One may ask himself, if the software hasn't changed, how comes bugs have crept in? The answer to that is simple, the software does not exist in a vacuum, things change all the time, new versions of PHP added strict warnings which disturbed some users, there were new releases for wordpress and other software component, as well as changed to the almighty Google translate engine. Those changes created situations that current code was not able to handle, but we wish this new version will be a bit more capable of doing.
Other new stuff includes Yoast SEO sitemaps integration (You need to patch it, instructions are in our code).
A small feature to remove useless auto translations (where the Translations were equal to the original strings, which happens when some sites got blocked by Google)
more stuff, the readme.txt file is your friend.
Hoping to get things more up to speed and rolling 🙂

The future of the U.S. Rice Producers Association
"To have a unified, producer organization from all the rice producing states. We want an organization of producers that speak from the farm level. It's not that we won't recognize the mills or their importance. But in many cases, their politics are different from our politics and a lot of times producers don't realize that oft times, the best interests of a rice mill is not the best interests of a rice producer."
On farmers' propensity to overproduce.
"The only thing a farmer can do is grow as much as he can as cheaply as he can. You might design some ag policy around that, but when you get down to the individual level, that's all he can do, because he has absolutely no control over the price.
"The flip side of over-production is under-production. Under-production would make us rely on other countries for food and if there was severe under-production, they'd feed their own and worry about us later. This country is totally unprepared and totally unfamiliar with food shortages. It's always there and there's always plenty of it."
Sanctions and embargoes
"Sanctions are very frustrating for the American farmer. It seems like we are at times pawns of the State Department. It's almost like they trump us at every turn. But I think they're somewhat misguided about what they're trying to accomplish. One of the cornerstones of Freedom to Farm was that the government would do everything it could to open up trade for the American farmer. I'm disappointed in a lot of the efforts it's made to do that.
"We can understand not trading under the enemy nation status, if a government becomes a military threat. But when every other country in the world is trading with a country 90 miles away from us, it seems odd that we stand alone in trying to form some agenda that's not realistic."
Free trade
"It's a constant struggle and fight. We have to press for more administration and adherence to the trading rules in the WTO and compliance. There are many trade distorting practices that are somewhat hidden. Some countries subsidize fertilizer so it can be sold cheaply to producers. These have to be investigated and fully understood."
"We need to be very deliberate in our research efforts. Our greatest advantages is our understanding and use of technology and modern farming methods and productivity. We are unquestioned world leader in productivity. The only way we can maintain that is through continued research and the use of all the technologies available to us."
Genetically enhanced crops
"There is a lot of anxiety and misplaced fears about GMOs. We are at the tip of iceberg with it. If we let sound science replace hysteria, then there are many wonderful opportunities through GMOs for farmers and consumers.
"Everybody should be making as efficient a crop as possible. There's only a certain amount of hunkering down you can do. You can cut your personal lifestyle back to a degree, but as far as your farming operation, you can only skinny so much. It takes a certain amount of capital and investment to produce.
"The outlook on commodity prices for the short term is not good. And that's one reason why the rice industry is trying to implement this counter cyclical approach. "
The role of government.
That farmers need subsidies because other countries are being subsidized, "is only part of it. Stabilization is a very under-appreciated word. Having a stable agriculture is absolutely to the benefit of the American consumer. We don't need wild swings in prices or be dependent upon foreign countries. I was concerned when they removed that word from the name of the government agency (when the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service became the Farm Service Agency)."

Posterior-impingement after lumbar total disc replacement: a relevant problem?
Search Medline for
|June 13, 2005
One of the main postulated basic principles of total disc replacement (TDR) is the preservation of flexion/extension ability. In neutral position the ideal disc prosthesis should not stay in maximal possible extension which would imply an impingement of the prosthesis. An impingement can cause shear strains on the prosthesis endplates which probably accelerate loosening. The purpose of study was to evaluate a possible impingement after TDR.
In 29 patients with a mean age of 42.4 ± 6.5 years the segmental lordosis and flexion/extension ability was measured after single-level disc replacement with the Prodisc II® . The follow up interval averaged 13.2 months.
Pre- and postoperative lateral X-rays in neutral position, in maximum flexion and extension were assesed. The angulation of prosthesis in neutral position and the extension ability on dynamic x-rays were measured with the Cobb-Method.
15 patients showed no extension ability on dynamic x-rays and 10 of these 15 patients had an impingement with maximum extension of the prosthesis on x-rays in neutral position. In the remaining 14 patients the extension ability averaged pre-/postoperatively 2.3°/1.3° (p=0.115). In 4 of the 14 patients the prosthesis showed an impingement in maximum extension and in 10 patients the prosthesis was not in maximum possible extension.
An impingement was recognized in nearly 30% of the cases after implantation of the ProDisc. It still remains unclear if an impingement will result in facet joint protection or will trigger a loosening of the implant.

U.S. environmental regulators moved today to block development of the Pebble mine in Alaska, which could be one of the largest copper projects in the world, citing potential "irreversible harm" to the state's salmon fishery.
U.S. environmental regulators moved today to block development of the Pebble mine in Alaska, which could be one of the largest copper projects in the world, citing potential "irreversible harm" to the state's salmon fishery.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it has initiated a rarely used process under the Clean Water Act to "identify appropriate options to protect" the Bristol Bay fishery from the impact of the proposed mine.
The decision follows a report in January that found large-scale mining would pose serious risks to salmon and native cultures in the pristine corner of southwest Alaska.
"Extensive scientific study has given us ample reason to believe that the Pebble Mine would likely have significant and irreversible negative impacts on the Bristol Bay watershed and its abundant salmon fisheries," EPA administrator Gina McCarthy said in a statement.
"This process is not something the agency does very often, but Bristol Bay is an extraordinary and unique resource."
Vancouver-based Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd, which owns the Pebble project, plans to build a large open-pit mine at the site, which would produce significant amounts of copper and gold for decades to come.
It has said the mine can be built in a safe manner and would provide an economic boom for the State of Alaska.
"We don't see this as an end, in any way, but as a continuation of the process," Northern Dynasty spokesman Sean Magee said.
Magee said that the company remains confident the massive copper-gold project will eventually go ahead.
The EPA could use the Clean Water Act to effectively veto the mine. It has initiated similar processes just 29 times and completed the entire process only 13 times. The review will include a new consultation period, public hearings and further consultations with the Army Corps of Engineers and the company.
Permits cannot be approved during the review process.
The Pebble project is located some 200 miles southwest of Anchorage, in a region of Alaska that produces nearly 50 percent of the world's wild sockeye salmon.
Northern Dynasty lost its project development partner last September when mining group Anglo American pulled out of the venture.

Lenox Lounge, a jazz landmark, to close in NYC
December 8, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) — The Lenox Lounge, a cabaret in New York City's Harlem neighborhood with a supercool, Art Deco style that made it a favorite of jazz greats like Billie Holiday, Miles Davis and John Coltrane, is closing its doors on New Year's Eve.
Longtime owner Alvin Reed says that with rents rising, he can no longer afford the lease on the jazz landmark. It opened in 1942.
He says the landlord wanted $20,000 per month.
The space is set to be taken over in the new year by Richard Notar, a managing partner at Nobu Restaurants.
Notar tells The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/UMwETJ ) he hopes to keep the bar as "an old watering hole" with live music, but he hasn't worked out a deal with Reed yet to use the Lenox Lounge name.

Video Baluns / Transmission > Nitek VH3239/110 - 32 Port Video Balun Hub with 110 Punchdown
32 port video balun hubs with built-in surge suppression. Systems operate with other Nitek UTP video equipment including, video balun hubs, standard video balun transceivers or active receivers. These units feature 110 punchdown.
The VH3239 video balun hubs are multi-channel video transmission devices that provide a low cost means of sending quality live video over Category UTP cabling. The systems can also adapt to existing communication and computer network spare pairs, or new cable installations. The VH3239 can send video up to 750 feet (225 meters) when used with other products in the VB37 or VB39 family. When used with model TR515 or TR560 active receivers, distances of 1,500 feet (450 meters) and 3,000 feet (900 meters), respectively, can be attained. The VH3239 is designed to provide superior immunity from noise and interference, such as RFI and EMI.
Twisted Sender is recommended for use with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring. The systems will operate over wire gauges from 26 AWG through 12 AWG but are optimized for 24 AWG. Category cabling may be used. Individually shielded pairs should be avoided as they drastically reduce the operating range of the systems. Multi-pair cable with an overall shield is acceptable. Video can be operated in the same communication cable coexistent with telephone, computer, control signals, power voltages and other video signals. While video may be routed through telephone punch-down block terminals, any bridge-taps, also called T-taps and any resistive, capacitive or inductive devices MUST BE removed from the pair.

We had a huge show this evening with our guest Ed Opperman from the Opperman Report outlining so many detail on various subjects. Topics such as the Jeffery Epstein child pornography ring along with Prince Andrew's affiliation in much of these circles were all discussed on tonight's show. Ed discussed the West Memphis 3 and how they turned down their chance for re-trial and be exonerated from their charges. Why? To protect those controlling their child grabbing.
Ed continued to talk to us about the detail of the Nevada Millers involved in the shopping mall shooting of two police officers and their inside track to the Bundy Ranch incident.
We continued the second half with a few extra panel members to address questions on the Radio Revolution Drama (case) regarding the pedophilia ring they were involved in and the attempted suicide in front of the police by cutting his throat at the sink. Following his release to try and escape after.
There were so many topics well worth the time to listen to and learn some inside information on a variety of cold case files.
Thank you again to ALL of our callers and all our viewers for their support and information.

LITTLE ROCK — The state and lawyers for three Little Rock area school districts have reached a tentative settlement to end state involvement in the long-running Pulaski County school desegregation case, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel told legislators Thursday.
LITTLE ROCK — The state and lawyers for three Little Rock area school districts have reached a tentative settlement to end state involvement in the long-running Pulaski County school desegregation case, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel told legislators Thursday.
The pact would end state desegregation payments of nearly $70 million annually to the Little Rock, North Little Rock and Pulaski County Special districts after three years and clear the way for creation of a new school district in Jacksonville, McDaniel told members of the Legislative Litigation Oversight Committee.
"This is finally the opportunity to bring about a tangible end to this case and allow us to put our focus back on the classrooms instead of the courtrooms," McDaniel told the Joint Subcommittee on Desegregation Litigation Oversight.
The attorney general is to present the proposal to Legislative Council Friday. The settlement proposal must be approved by Legislative Council before McDaniel can present it to a federal judge in December.
The Little Rock and North Little Rock school boards were to consider the proposal at separate meetings Thursday night.
"I never saw this as a requisite step to (Legislative) Council, but it made perfect sense," McDaniel said after the meeting, but he said the appearance afforded him "a great opportunity to reveal the document as it existed at the time and a great opportunity to reveal it to both the Legislature and the public. I wanted to give the (lawmakers) an advanced view, let them ask some questions — certainly they had plenty, and I anticipate there will be more" Friday.
He said he expects the settlement to be endorsed by Legislative Council Friday and that he will present to a federal judge at a hearing previously scheduled for Dec. 9.
Under the proposal, the state would continue to make annual payments to fund desegregation programs of $37.3 million to the Little Rock district, $20.8 million to the Pulaski County Special School District and $7.6 million to the North Little Rock district through the 2017-18 school year.
The districts would get another year of payments in 2018-19 to be used exclusively for school buildings.
The proposal provides that at the end of three years, the state may authorize creation of a separate Jacksonville School District, and that the state would have full and final release from the school desegregation case that dates back to the 1957 Little Rock school integration crisis.
"Make no mistake, this is not a done deal yet," McDaniel told lawmakers. "But we are at an historic milestone."
One stumbling block to the proposed settlement is that lawyers for the Joshua intervenors — black parents in the Little Rock district — have not signed off on the agreement. The attorney general said if they do not agree, legal precedents from other states may allow the settlement to move forward.
Rep. John Walker, D-Little Rock, an attorney for the Joshua intervenors, said near the end of Thursday's meeting that he doubted his clients would support the proposal.
"What we sought to obtain years ago has not been obtained, and while we go through legal determinations that certain results have been achieved, we have had a lot of money spent, and it's still going to be spent, and the original undertaking is left to be achieved," Walker said.
He said one big concern about the proposal was the stipulation that would allow a proposal for an independent Jacksonville School District to move forward.
"It's clear … the state is aware, though not perhaps through General McDaniel, that once you detach Jacksonville you have in waiting Chenal, you have Sherwood and you have Maumelle, and then you have left where you began originally before 1954 — a segregated southeast quarter school district," he said. "And you can look at the facilities and see that they are unequal facilities."
Requiring the three districts to use their desegregation payments in 2018-19 exclusively for buildings would let the districts build new schools in only affluent areas.
"If you look at Little Rock, the affluent children have schools that reflect affluency of the neighborhood where they are located," he said, adding the issue of race still exists "with respect to the history of unequal facilities at the least."
After the meeting, McDaniel told reporters he expected Legislative Council to authorize him to move forward with the agreement and that he held out hope that the Joshua intervenors agree to it.
"It is a very fair deal for all concerned, and in my opinion that includes Joshua, so I hope they will consent to being a part of it," he said.
The Little Rock and North Little Rock school boards were to consider the proposed settlement in separate meetings Thursday night. The state dissolved the Pulaski County district's school board when it took over the district in 2012, and the district is run by a state-appointed superintendent.
McDaniel said his office was prepared move forward with the state's motion in federal court to discontinue the desegregation funding if settlement negotiations fall through.
"We feel good we can go in front of the judge with all the districts, and it would be nice if we had Joshua with us, but it's not necessary," he said.

For me personally, Apple had its heyday in the G4 era. The PowerMac G4,, the PowerMac G4 Cube, and the iMac G4 rank high in my list of favourite computers of all time, due to their playful design and clear form-over-function. There are enough function-over-form computers in the world, and between the endless stream of boring beige boxes, Apple's whimsical hardware design stood out. They were by and large not the best computers out there, but they were the most distinctive.
Four years ago, all the way back in 2009, I wrote an article about how I felt Apple had lost its way when it came to hardware design.
Apple "ran right out of imagination and fairy dust", in my view. For almost a decade now, Apple's designs have been boring, predictable, grey, unimaginative, and very, very, very evolutionary. I have an iMac, but only because I personally believe it's the best home computer you can possibly buy, after doing all the calculations and feature comparions. When I saved up for an iMac G4 over ten years ago, I did so with my heart. Fast forward to late last year, and I chose the iMac I'm writing this on with my brain.
Yesterday evening, Apple introduced its first product in over a decade that evokes that same feeling as the iMac G4 did, or the PowerMac G4 Cube. I don't really know if the new Mac Pro is exactly what actual 'pro' users want (I'll leave that for you guys in the comments to decide) - but my heart skipped a few beats when we huddled around my friend's white MacBook last night while we waited for dinner to be finished, and I first laid my eyes on the pictures of the Mac Pro.
This is Apple at its very best. Distinctive, unique, one-of-a-kind, and different from everybody else in the industry. This is a product worthy of the Apple mark, instead of just another iteration of a run-of-the-mill aluminium slab. I have no use for a Mac Pro at all, but my heart is already tugging me along all the way to the bank. I want this thing. I want this thing so bad.
Welcome back, Apple. I'm glad you found that bottle of fairy dust again.

Dietetics training usually consists of a recognised university-based course (of 3-4 years, fulltime) leading to a BSc Honours degree in Dietetics, or Nutrition and Dietetics. Successful completion of the degree means the individual is then eligible for registration with the Health Care Professions Council, which is essential to work as a dietitian in the NHS.
Courses consist of a mixture of theory (communication skills, psychology, nutrition, biochemistry) and a period of practice-based learning in hospital or community settings.
The practical training element totals approximately 1000 hours and is spread throughout the course with an initial three weeks early on followed by two 12-week placements in one in year 3 and the other in year 4.
This is designed to introduce students to the workings of the NHS and dietetic departments. It is mainly shadowing and observation but the student is expected to complete nursing shifts, spend time with catering services and generally see the dietitian at work.
Identifies specific learning outcomes which have to be achieved within the 12 week period. These learning outcomes have been developed around overall knowledge, communication skills and professional practice. During this placement the student moves away from observation towards putting theory into practice. Support is provided to the students at all times from the staff within the dietetic department.
Further continuation of developing the necessary skills and achieving learning outcomes, however, towards the end of this placement the student should be ready to complete a period of consolidation showing they are ready to take on the role of a Band 5 dietician.
Dietetic students training at Nottingham University will be offered a practical placement anywhere from Barnsley to Northampton and across to Lincoln.
For more information then please contact Fiona Moor, Head of Dietetic Services: - email@example.com

RE[2]: Netflix

One problem remains, and as you can guess, it's the codec issue. Microsoft may have paid for licenses for various codecs and may have made sure that Novell could use them too, but this of course doesn't extend towards other distributors. To solve this, distributors can negotiate directly with the owners of the codecs

My first real car – 1971 Dodge Monaco with a 383 and a 4bbl carb., 16MPG highway and possibly (?) the first car in Canada to have subwoofers in it, circa July,1978.
Back then, there were very few real car amplifiers or subwoofers, so I cannibalized a set of Altec Model 9 home speakers to build a very rudimentary low pass crossover, mounted the woofers infinite baffle style in the Monaco's huge trunk, and tried to drive them with an under-dash Muntz "power booster". This attempt was met with little success, so after some searching, I found a blown up 100 watt (I think) Audiomobile amplifier, and after I made some repairs, that drove the woofers with far greater authority.
Of course within a few years, amps and woofers were becoming more widely available, and my understanding of subwoofer enclosure design and woofer selection began to take shape, and led to all sorts of crazy bass systems in various cars.
Fast forward 30 years (wow) and things are much different. Amps and subwoofers are available from all sorts of sources, and it's possible to build bass reproduction systems in your car that would rival the kind of output I was so awed by in 1975. But, what if you don't have room for a large woofer system, or maybe even none at all? How can you experience real bass without big woofers, bigger enclosures, and gobs of power?
The fanatics over at Rockford Fosgate have come up with a solution in their new IB-200 IBeam Tactile Transducer. If you recall, bass information can be perceived and enjoyed without you actually having to "hear" it, via the generation of tactile sound. When used in a vehicle, tactile transducers are designed to attach directly to the seat frame, or alternatively the floorpan of the vehicle. If the floorpan is used, it's best to pick a strong area with some shape to it, such as the transmission tunnel. This will prevent large flat sections of the cars floor from vibrating too much, and causing unwanted resonances by "oil canning". And the IBeam applications aren't limited to car audio, you can also use these transducers in your home system by attaching them securely to the frame of your seating.
Now I know most of us have experienced tactile sound in one way or another, the concept is commonly found in simulators and thrill rides, and at some movie theatres. While providing an exciting effect for explosions or car crashes, in many cases the "shakers" used in these venues leave a lot to be desired, and don't result in a realistic experience. In fact, very few of them are decent enough to even be considered for musical use. This is because they have a relatively narrow bandwidth and generally operate between 20 and 80Hz. For realistic tactile sensory input, the upper frequency limit needs to be increased significantly, and the output needs to be maintained at those higher frequencies.

Halle Berry: Cloud Atlas was ambitious
- Bang Showbiz
- 10 December 2012
Halle Berry was astonished at the ideas directors Tom Tykwer and Andy and Lana Wachowski had for 'Cloud Atlas' and was unsure if they'd be able to successfully pull it off
Halle Berry thought 'Cloud Atlas' was far too ambitious at first.
The Oscar-winning actress was initially dubious about working with co-directors Tom Tykwer and Andy and Lana Wachowski in the drama adapted from David Mitchell's novel, which brings together several narratives to explore the interconnectedness of the human race.
She said: "It was very ambitious. Something I had never read before. It was a challenge to do something unique that would test everybody in new ways. I thought, 'Wow, if they can pull this off and do it all independently, and get to really have their vision...' "
Reminiscing about first meeting the directors, Halle added: "I had a poster of '2001: A Space Odyssey' on the wall when I met with them. They said, 'I wanna make that'. I said, 'Are you out of your f**king mind?!... I'm in!' "
The film - which also stars Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent and Susan Sarandon - uses heavy prosthetics to tell the story of several inter-connected characters throughout time, but although the shoot was tough, Halle's co-star Tom Hanks insisted the mood on set was far from glum.
Tom enthused: "From the get-go we knew it was going to be very big. That the engineering was going to be tough. That the logistics were going to be very hard. They seemed so happy to see us every morning. It wasn't like, here comes Mr. Wacky-head, who's going to shout out his jokes. It was, 'You're here! We get to have more fun!' "

Urging a yes vote on Prop. 36
I urge a yes vote on Proposition 36 on the November ballot. It would change the "Three Strikes" law to permit consideration of the seriousness of the third strike.
As it now stands, a third felony mandates a sentence of 25 years to life regardless of the nature of the offense. It has been imposed for such things as theft of a pair of shoes, a golf club, and a package of bubble gum. Authorities need the flexibility to consider whether the third crime threatens the safety of the public.
Putting aside the high cost of incarceration, I believe that such long sentences should be imposed only for violent or serious crimes, and I think that many, if not most, voters believed that was the "Three Strikes" they voted for in 1994.
Prop. 36 is the fair correction needed.

Read the Full Report Elections: States, Territories, and the District Are Taking a Range of Important Steps to Manage their Varied Voting System Environments (GAO-08-874)
This document was updated in January 2009 to include the results of GAO's 2007 Survey
of State Voting System
Programs. The purpose of the survey was to collect nationwide information on
requirements, activities, experiences, changes, and views relative to: voting
methods and systems used; voting system approval, testing, and problem management;
and federal resources and services. The Web-based survey was made available to
state-level election officials in all 50 states, four U.S. territories, and the
District of Columbia. We obtained responses from 47 states, all 4 territories,
and the District of Columbia. The total number of responses to individual questions
may be fewer than 52, depending upon how many states and territories, including the District,
were eligible or chose
to respond to a particular question. The scope of this work did not include contacting
election officials from local jurisdictions to verify survey responses.

IT Management Slideshow: CIOs Still Spending
By Ericka Chickowski | Posted 04-15-2009
Times are tough and many organizations may be in survival mode, but CIOs are still spending, according to a recent survey conducted by Robert Half International. The firm's research shows that the majority of organizations still plan on investing on IT initiatives in the next 12 months.
Robert Half International recently asked 1,400 CIOs at United States-based companies with 100 or more employees: "Which areas, if any, will your IT department be investing in over the next 12 months?"
Read Tony Kontzer's analysis of the spending report, which says the cheerful aspects are not really so cheerful.

Because most professional services firms exist to help their clients reduce risk and navigate an uncertain future, they tend to approach the world of online or digital marketing with some caution.
A recent blog post in the MarketingProfs online marketing community provides guidance for firms that are skeptical about the value of emerging marketing platforms.
"For professions meant to provide stability to clients, tweeting and commenting in an online mosh pit are not activities that come naturally," author Nicholas Kosar writes. "Rather, marketers in these professions are far more likely to hear skepticism than excitement within their firms about using new digital marketing tools."
Kosar advocates adopting a campaign-focused marketing program instead of one that relies on short-term tactics such as blast e-mails.
"The main point here is that unless an email is opened, it is gone forever, often passing unnoticed through cluttered in-boxes and then off the bottom edge of the computer or smartphone screen in a matter of minutes," he writes. "What's more, to open a PDF attachment requires a double-click – not a single-click or tap – and in this day and age, such things matter."
He offers four tips for maximizing the impact of online marketing:
1. Make use of each URL—Each segment of content you produce should have a home on a website or blog, with a distinct URL that can be promoted in other digital communications.
2. Tweet – regularly and over time—Each URL can be tweeted regularly over the course of a week or two using various messages (each with unique editorial content), to reach a broader audience and increase the probability that people will see – and retweet – it.
3. Make use of personal networks—Every professional should engage on LinkedIn, which is an ideal network to share URLs with an audience already connected in a professional relationship with you or your firm.
4. Your blogs are not the same as your websites—The content on your website should also be re-channeled through blogs that are directed to specific target audiences. Statistics show that blog content earns more media mentions than website or blast e-mail content.

Failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad pleaded guilty to all 10 charges against him Monday. Prosecutors insist that they haven't struck a deal to reduce his sentence, which will be announced on Oct. 5. What does Shahzad stand to gain from pleading guilty rather than taking his chances at trial?
A soapbox and his pride. The overwhelming majority of those who plead guilty to a crime do so in exchange for a reduced sentence, while some tiny number do so because they are burdened with regret and want to purge their consciences. Shahzad doesn't appear to fit into either category of confessors. Because he copped to two counts of using a bomb in a violent crime, he will receive at least one mandatory life sentence no matter what. (Altogether, he could get up to six life terms and 60 additional years in prison.) He can't be angling for brownie points with the parole board, since Congress abolished federal parole in 1987. And he failed to express any remorse over the crime at the hearing Monday. In light of these facts, the most likely motives for his guilty plea are pride in his cause and a desire to announce his political views to the world.
While a trial would have kept Shahzad in the news far longer, the plea hearing offered a better opportunity to monologue. In order to accept a guilty plea, a judge has to chat with the defendant long enough to determine whether he is mentally sound, sober, and aware of the consequences of his decision. Judges also typically ask for full details of the crime to make sure the defendant's story is consistent with the known facts. (False confessions are surprisingly common. One study showed 247 of them in a single Illinois county over a decade.) This back-and-forth gave Shahzad plenty of time to brag over his failed plot and deliver a harangue about U.S. and Israeli foreign policy. Shahzad even brought a prepared statement, but the judge wouldn't let him read it. That shouldn't have surprised him. September 11th co-conspirator Zacharias Moussaoui spent most of his pre-trial hearings jousting with the judge for the chance to make grandiose anti-American speeches.
Even though Shahzad's guilty plea probably wasn't in his best interests in the traditional sense, there was very little his attorney could have done to prevent it. Attorneys have the authority to dictate strategy, but major decisions like pleading belong to the client. If Shahzad's lawyer were convinced that Shahzad was making a poor choice, her only option would be to tell the judge she needed more time to make sure her client understood his actions or to conduct a mental health exam. Defendants occasionally change their minds after a cooling-off period.
There is an outside chance Shahzad is thinking more strategically than we realize. A special provision in the U.S. code eliminates mandatory minimum sentences for defendants who help apprehend or convict other criminals. The process can be applied either before or after sentencing. The government rarely accepts help from criminals who forced them through the expense and trouble of a trial, especially when the process might require them to reveal secret sources and procedures. Shahzad's plea may help keep his options open. But even if the feds are interested in his help, there are no guarantees. The accused must do everything the government asks—duties can range from wearing a wire to testifying in court—before prosecutors determine whether the assistance has been good enough to warrant a shaving of his prison term.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has announced two grants totaling $275,000 for Suffolk University Law School's Housing Discrimination Testing Program, which recently saw settlements in three cases resulting from its work.
The program, launched in September 2012 in collaboration with HUD and the Boston Fair Housing Commission, will receive:
- $175,000 to build its capacity to enforce fair housing laws through testing, education and litigation
- $100,000 to offer course work in fair housing, host a national fair housing conference at Suffolk University Law School and create a Fair Housing Fellowship Program, placing students in internships relating to fair housing
The Massachusetts Attorney General's Office and the Boston Fair Housing Commission in September 2013 settled three enforcement actions stemming from the Law School's efforts to uncover housing discrimination:
- Suffolk Law students designed a discrimination test in which a disabled volunteer tester visited a real estate agency that had stairs to the front door. The firm refused to meet with the tester on the sidewalk or to bring the tester inside for service. The Attorney General's Office imposed a $2,500 fine, required a written reasonable accommodation policy and filed an Assurance of Discontinuance with Suffolk Superior Court.
- Suffolk Law testers posed as families with children seeking a rental property. The housing manager told Suffolk testers they would not delead the apartments because it was too expensive. The property management agency agreed to pay $15,000 to settle and to train leasing staff on fair housing rules.
- A real estate agent's refusal to show an apartment to a Suffolk tester using a housing voucher—based on an income-discrimination test designed by Suffolk's program— resulted in a settlement requiring staff to receive fair housing training, put fair housing language in postings and display fair housing posters in all offices.
"Not only are we seeing results for Boston-area residents facing discrimination, but we also are providing valuable, on-the-ground training for future lawyers and instilling in them a sense of social justice," said program director William Berman, a clinical professor of law.
"Professor William Berman and Housing Clinic Fellow Jamie Langowski are extraordinarily dedicated to promoting the right to fair housing in Boston, and I congratulate them for securing these grants to continue the clinic's much-needed and highly effective effort," said Suffolk Law School Dean Camille Nelson.
Barbara Fields, HUD New England regional administrator, added, "No one should be denied the opportunity to live where they want because of how they look, their faith, whether they have children or because they have a disability. This grant will help us continue our efforts to educate the public and housing industry about their housing rights and responsibilities."
Suffolk Law School's Housing Discrimination Testing Program has trained more than 70 fair housing testers, who pose as potential renters. Most of these testers are students, and they have conducted more than 70 fair housing tests in the past year. As the academic year began, more than 40 additional students signed on to be testers.
The first year of the program was funded by a $150,000 HUD grant that expanded an existing collaboration between Suffolk Law and the Boston Fair Housing Commission. It allowed for systemic testing focused on LGBT, disability, source of income and familial status issues as well as complaint-based testing that supports state and local Fair Housing Assistance Programs.
