It only puts out 2 watts RMS, so the amp will not give the fullness of a 50 watt Marshall Stack. But for bedroom playing or even miking the amp to play at small functions, it is super.
The amp comes with five amplifier models, which include JC Clean (modeled after a Roland JC 120 amp), Black Panel (modeled after a Fender Twin Reverb), Brit Combo (modeled after an overdriving Vox AC30), Classic Stack (modeled after a Marshall JMP amplifier) and the R-Fier (modeled after a Mesa Boogie Rectifier amp).
Additionally the amp has an Acoustic simulator setting that produces a sound similar to a Boss Acoustic Simulator pedal. The amp also has a vocal preamp setting, which sounds extremely dry and flat when playing guitar. I would think few people use this feature.
The amps two watt output is fed into a five inch Roland speaker. Most folks find the stock speaker to be flabby and at times it rattles. Replacing the speaker is a fairly simple task. Electrovoice makes a nice 30 watt-five inch model that sells for around $30 US.
The Micro Cube comes with several effects that are based on the companies Digitech/Boss line of pedals. This includes a potentiometer for either delay or reverb and another for Flanger, Phaser, Chorus, and Tremolo. The amp comes with an output knob and a gain knob. On the downside it has only a single tone control.
Roland has built this amp to be nearly indestructible. The speaker grill is made of honey-coned metal and the chassis is solid wood.
The Micro Cube runs on six AA batteries or the wall-wart style transformer that comes with the amp. It also has a nice, but small guitar-strap style handle that hooks on to the two guitar strap buttons on the amp's opposite sides. A new Micro Cube will set you back $129 US.
The Vox DA5 has come and gone. You should be able to find them in some music stores; however Vox has discontinued this little amplifier. At last glance they were selling for $99 US.
Vox took on Roland and came out with a more powerful amp, 5 watts, with a few more sounds.
This amp had 11 sound options, including an acoustic simulation. It also came with 11 built-in effects, which include phaser, chorus, flanger, tremolo, rotary speaker simulation, auto-way, compressor, delay and reverb. By mixing these effects, a player can come up with 11 different sounds. A tap button allows the player to set the speed of the effects modulation. It also has a noise reduction circuit.
Like the Roland, the Vox DA5 runs on six AA batteries or a transformer, which is included. It also comes with an audio input jack so you can connect a CD or MP3 player. There is also a microphone input. The headphone/line out jack allows you to connect to a mixer for PA and recording work.
The Vox Mini 3 comes with 11 amplifier models, that include, boutique clean, tweed, California metal, U.S. high gain, AC30, AC15, UK '70's, UK '80's, UK '90's as well as others.
Like most of the other miniature modeling amps, this one weighs in at around 7 and ¾ pounds and comes with a carrying strap. The speaker is a Vox 5" model.
It was Line 6 that started amplifier modeling and they offer the Line 6 Micro Spider. It is a 6 watt amp with a 6.5" speaker. (Can you see a theme of manufacturers adding on bells and whistles and louder wattage, from what the original Roland amp offered?)
The Micro Spider offers four guitar sounds, Crunch, Metal, Insane plus an acoustic guitar sound.
Additionally it comes with six Smart Control effects including Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, Sweep Echo (with tap tempo), Tape Echo (with tap tempo) and Reverb. The amp includes an integrated chromatic tuner, mic input and trim knob.
This little guy is powered by six C batteries or through its wall transformer.
One advantage of owning a Line 6 Micro Spider is access to "Spider Online", which is a free web resource for registered Spider amplifier owners.
This site offers over 300 lessons, 100 jam tracks played by top L.A. and Nashville session musicians and hundreds of tones that download into some of the Spider amps that support USB connectivity and on-screen display for those amps that do not have that feature.
The Micro Spider sells for $134.99, which is 5 bucks cheaper than the Roland Micro Cube.
This little power house features eight built-in amplifier models and twelve onboard effects.
However the amps eight effects can be modded to provide 24 preset sounds.
The amp has an onboard chromatic tuner and resembles a small version of the other amps in Fender's Mustang line. The metal handle can be used as a tilt-back stand.
Aside from these miniature digital amplifiers, there are a few analog amplifiers worth mentioning.
There are not many bells and whistles on this little guy. If you want clean, you turn the volume down. If you want distortion, just crank it up. Since the cabinet is hinged, you can use it opened or closed. Older literature suggested getting a tremolo sound, by having a friend open and close the cabinet while you are playing.
There are two guitar strap buttons on this amp, so you can wear it over your shoulder while playing.
Pignose Industries offers the Hog 20 and the Hog 30 amplifiers. Each comes with larger speakers and rechargeable batteries and more tone options.
You can plug headphones into the Smokey, play it through it's built in 1" speaker or use it to power a double stack of Marshall Cabinets. The price of the Smokey is $32, but street price is around $28.
Electro Harmonix 22 Caliber amplifier looks like a guitar pedal. However this is a 22 watt solid state amplifier that can power any size speaker cabinet. This amplifier features a single volume control and a tone switch to give you a normal/flat setting or bright/top end boost.
The 22 watt model is powered by an 18 volt power supply that comes with the amplifier, while the 44 watt model uses a 24 watt power supply.
Both are small enough to fit in a guitar case or gig bag.
Finally the good folks at Danelectro have come out with a couple of small amplifiers that are worth mentioning.
Hodad DH1 is a miniature battery powered amplifier that comes with twin two inch speakers and a tremolo and echo effect.

Okay, so we'd like to think that we're pretty stellar in the sack. Though, sadly, we can't all be total pros when it comes to doing the deed, right?
Well, don't tell that to the 10,000 people who took a recent survey, which found that a full-blown three quarters of respondents think they're better than the average person in bed. If experience is any indicator, we can say that that's probably not the case.
The survey also found that the ladies are pretty damn open-minded with it comes to sex: 66 percent of women say they watch porn and 71 percent would be down with dabbling in S&M a la Fifty Shades of Grey.
But, the most shocking part of the poll was certainly the seemingly over-reported between-the-sheets prowess. Though, seriously, who wants to admit—even to themselves—that they're sub-par at getting it on?
Tell Us: Do you think you're good in bed?

Being an audiophile, the biggest headache for me is not the hardware, but the lack of Hi-Fi music resources. I can invite a professional to set up all the gears for me, however, I cannot depend on others each time I run short of music. With DVDFab Hi-Fi Audio Converter, this is no longer a problem, I can convert all my music Blu-rays, even movie Blu-rays to lossless Hi-Fi FLAC tracks at home.
— An audiophile from soundandvision.com
As an audiophile, common forms of music, such as songs downloaded from iTunes, Amazon Music, or streamed from Apple Music, Spotify, Rdio and the like are far away from being able to satisfy your growing appetite for high quality music. Lucky if you have a large collection of Blu-rays at home, DVDFab Hi-Fi Audio Converter for Mac can convert music and movie Blu-rays into lossless FLAC audios, ready for your high-end acoustic system at home. Don't bother to turn on your TV each time you want to enjoy your favorite album.
When compared with the regular 16-bit/44.1kHz format used to create CDs or the source files, such as MP3, M4A or AAC, used by the aforementioned download sites and streaming services, what makes the DVDFab Hi-Fi Audio Converter for Mac produced high-resolution audio files sound astounding is that, they have a much higher sampling frequency and bit depth encoding, 24-bit/96kHz in most instances, some maybe as stunning as 192kHz sample rate. This is just what matters most to an audiophile and his/her first-class hardware setup.
The Hi-Fi Audio Converter module is integrated into the Blu-ray Ripper module, in the form of 2 conversion profiles, namely, FLAC Stereo and FLAC Multi-Channel, offering varying channel options — Stereo, Dolby Surround/ProLogic, Dolby ProLogic II, 5.1 multi-channel and 7.1 multi-channel. That said, although being integrated, the Hi-Fi Audio Converter module works independently, even if the Blu-ray Ripper module has expired or you simply don't purchase that module.
If not split by chapters during the conversion, DVDFab Hi-Fi Audio Converter for Mac will convert the entire music Blu-ray to a single audio file, which makes it difficult to jump from one track to another during playback. In this regard, another approach is introduced — a CUE file containing the metadata of the music Blu-ray, such as the performer, title and duration of each track is created during the conversion process. This can greatly improve your music enjoying experience if your playback device supports to read the CUE file directly.

Philosophy Club
The Philosophy Club at McNeese State University
Philosophy is not limited to the classroom. Discussions on free will, the nature of the mind, and whether truth is absolute or relative do not have to studied solely in class.
Welcome to the Philosophy Club!
The Philosophy Club meets regularly, and encourages everyone to attend, whether you have a formal or passing interest in philosophy. These discussions can help to tease out issues not covered in class, or serve as a chance for you to learn by doing. Philosophy is not a set of facts to be memorized - it is a method of thinking. The more you "do" philosophy, the better your understanding of the concepts and methods will be. Like your muscles, your brain is toned by practice. Many students find philosophy to be the most difficult field they have ever studied, precisely because it teaches you new ways to think. The Philosophy Club gives you the chance to get your feet wet in an environment that is collegial, casual, and, most importantly, caffeinated.
- Where: 210 Kaufman Hall
- When: 3:00 PM every Monday during the academic year.
Recent and Upcoming Events
The philosophy club sponsors events throughout the academic year. Check this page and on Facebook for news and coming events.

Brief Synopsis
College coeds go looking for love during spring break in Fort Lauderdale.
One blustery winter day at a Midwestern university, as undergraduate Merritt Andrews and her colleague Melanie attend a lecture on the dangers of random dating, Merritt asks the teacher to seriously discuss whether a girl should have sex before marriage. Appalled by Merritt's candor, the teacher sends her to Dean Caldwell, who warns Merritt that although her IQ is high, her faltering grades and misconduct in class might be grounds for expulsion. Although she needs to study, Merritt decides to join Melanie and friends Tuggle Carpenter and Angie on their spring break in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where thousands of college boys and girls go to vacation. As they drive south, the girls pick up hitchhiker TV Thompson, an outlandish dresser to whom tall Tuggle takes an immediate liking, because her only requirement for a date is that he be taller than her. When the girls arrive at the Fairview apartments to find a group of Ivy League boys, or "Yalies," rooming there as well, Melanie quickly entices neighbor Dill into a date. The next day on the beach, Dill spends time alone with Melanie, while TV and Tuggle listen to radio police reports about all the college kids's ridiculous pranks, then go for a drink using a fake ID. Later that evening, after TV laments that he has a hard time interesting women, the sympathetic Tuggle discloses that she likes him but refuses his advances when he suggests they have sex. Meanwhile, Melanie returns home from her date, having asked Dill to keep their lovemaking a secret. The next morning, Melanie grows excited about her prospects with Dill and reminds the girls that a college couple met and got married during their spring break. Merritt corrects her, explaining that though they met over spring break, the couple married only in October just before the girl was due to give birth to their child. Later on the beach, the girls discuss their futures. Tuggle wants to quit school and become a "walking talking baby factory" with TV, while Angie just wants a date. Merritt shows no interest in men until suave Brown University senior Ryder Smith invites her out for a cocktail. On their date, Merritt becomes defensive about her Midwestern background, but Ryder suggests that "sophistication" is how you think about things, not where you come from. Intrigued by his intelligence, Merritt joins the wealthy Ryder on his grandfather's yacht where she explains her classifications for boys: Sweepers try to sweep you off your feet. Strokers use soft caresses to seduce you. Subtles quote erotic literature to entice you. Ryder assumes Merritt speaks from experience, but Merritt fails to tell him that her vast experience dating has been without sex. The next day, an experimental jazz band performs "dialectic jazz" at a bar and offers free beer to anyone who wants to listen. After the band leader, Basil Demotomes, is rejected by both Tuggle and Merritt, he turns to Angie, who is overjoyed to finally have a date. After spending another day together, Ryder tries to convince Merritt that sex is only a matter of everyday "personal relations," but Merritt refuses his advances. That night, a drunken Melanie announces to the girls that she is in love with a new man, Franklin, who is Dill's roommate. The next day, when Melanie recalls that Merritt had supported sex before marriage during the school lecture, Merritt tells her it was not advice for young, drunk kids. Later, Ryder professes that though he has told many women that he "loves" them, he actually likes Merritt. Later that night while the jazz group plays, Angie succeeds in attracting Basil's attention by singing her own catchy lyrics to his composition. Meanwhile, the love struck Melanie finds out that Franklin does not consider their relationship to be special and suggests an impulsive marriage would be silly. The next evening, with only days left in their vacation, Merritt, Tuggle and Angie discuss their chances of getting a marriage proposal without giving up their chastity while they prepare for a triple date together. Despite Merritt's attempts to include her, Melanie insists on staying home to wait for Franklin's call. Ryder takes the group to the Tropical Isle, where a drunken TV cannot resist stage entertainer Lola, who performs underwater acrobatic tricks in a large tank. When TV jumps in the tank with Lola, Tuggle, knowing TV cannot swim, jumps in after him. Soon Merritt, Angie, Ryder and Basil have fallen in the tank attempting to save one another. After the police dismiss the restaurant's charges against them, the group have a beach party, where TV is once again seduced by Lola's dancing. When jealous Tuggle hears TV use the same line on Lola as he did on her, she interrupts, but TV yells at her to leave them alone. Meanwhile, when Dill arrives to meet Melanie at an arranged motel room and announces he is replacing Franklin, she realizes the boys are using her and tries unsuccessfully to fight him off. Soon after, traumatized by the rape, she calls Tuggle at the motel. Back at the party, Merritt is almost ready to give up her virginity in the heat of passion with Ryder, when Tuggle asks them to help Melanie. As they drive towards the motel from which Melanie has phoned, they see her wandering on the traffic-filled road where she is hit by a car. After Ryder pulls her from traffic, they take Melanie to a hospital, where Merritt chastises Ryder for being like all boys who think girls exist merely to please boys. Alone with Merritt, Melanie laments her mistake and caustically says the boys were not even "Yalies," prompting Merritt to cry in shame. TV arrives at the hospital soon after to reassure Tuggle that he only wants to be by her side. The next day TV, Basil, Angie and Tuggle leave for home, while Merritt remains to care for Melanie until she can return to her parents. Merritt doubts her own resolve about chastity, but Ryder assures her that she is too strong to succumb. Merritt responds that no girl is strong in the face of what she thinks is love. When they both cautiously offer that they might be in love, Ryder asks her to come to his Brown graduation and continue their relationship.

Knowing that children often outgrow their expensive sports shoes before they wear them out, St. Nicholas School seventh-grader Lauren Kiachian organized a shoe drive to help those in need.
While attending her brother's soccer game last fall, Lauren noticed the opposing team sliding around the field because some of the players didn't have proper cleats. She thought about how often she and her brother outgrew their sports shoes while they were still in good condition and devised a plan to hold a youth sports-shoe drive and donate the shoes to charities and nonprofit groups for distribution to children around the Bay Area who otherwise might not be able to afford the proper sports footwear.
Lauren teamed up with Jeff Maier, sports director at the El Camino YMCA in Mountain View, to found L.A.C.E.S. (Let All Children Enjoy Sports). They arranged for a L.A.C.E.S. drive that coincided with the YMCA Youth Basketball League's annual team photos. During that event, Lauren collected 62 pairs of sports shoes that were distributed to children in need in the Bay Area.
L.A.C.E.S. has scheduled a series of upcoming drives. Families with youth sports shoes in reasonably good condition may donate them at scheduled collections: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Jan. 18 at the Los Altos High School baseball field, 201 Almond Ave.; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 1 at the Mountain View Sports Pavilion, 1185 Castro St., Mountain View; and noon to 5 p.m. March 15 at the El Camino YMCA, 2400 Grant Road, Mountain View.

How to Organize iPad Apps in Folders
As with iPhone, iPad lets you organize apps in folders. With so many useful applications, it's practical to group similar apps together in folders so you can locate them easily. iPad comes with many built-in apps, but you can many more, such as ABC, Pandora, NPR, iBooks, Scrabble, Pages, Micromedex Drug Information, and AARP.
After you add a few apps, you'll quickly realize that you need to organize them somehow. You can organize apps together on any of iPad's eleven Home screens. You can also organize apps together on a folder, which is accessed through a single icon on a Home screen.
Tap and hold an app.
All the apps start jiggling.
Drag an app on top of another app.
A bar appears across the screen, showing the two apps and a file with a placeholder name.
To change the name, tap in the field at the end of the placeholder name.
The keyboard appears.
Press the Delete key to delete the name and type one of your own.
Tap anywhere outside the bar to save the name.
Tap the Home key.
The icons stop dancing around and your folder appears on the Home screen where you began this process.

Complete Game Shut Out From Hamels
Welcome back to the West Coast, Cole! Hamels loves pitching in California, and it shows. He began the 4-games series with the Dodgers last night with a 5-hit shutout and tossed only 97 pitches in the process. Cole's left arm looked more like a sledgehammer to the opposition, who struggled to squeak out those few hits. The 3-0 win was the first shut-out of the season for the Phillies who had not blanked a team since August 20, 2008. This win also marks the 7th straight for the Phightins.
While Hamels was on with his location and pitch selection, the offense was mostly off, but 3 runs got the job done. Jayson Werth had 2 hits in the game, which he needed badly in light of his recent struggles at the plate. His old team turned out to be the inspiration he needed. Carlos Ruiz hit well again also, with 2 hits and a walk in the game. Chase Utley extended his hit steak to 9 games, while Ryan Howard ended his 7-game stretch and came away with 1 walk in the game.
Concern for Jimmy Rollins has been mounting as he continues to look perplexed with a bat in his hands. The 3-time All-Star and former MVP cannot seem to find a groove. Rollins went 0-5 last night and his batting average now sits at an anemic .224. Just when it looks like he may emerge from the slump, he has a game like last night. But the rest of the line-up seems to be making up for his lack of solid contact, so this is as good a time as any to be working out his issues. Hope remains that Rollins will get the wheels back on the wagon soon.
Shane Victorino sat again today, nursing a hip injury. He says he is fine, and just giving the hip a break. Victorino strained the hip while rounding the bases on Thursday night against the Padres. His bat will be missed if the injury keeps him out for any length of time as Victorino had been hot at the plate before the incident. But early reports indicate he is day to day and should return soon.
In other baseball news, Randy Johnson of the Giants notched career win #300 yesterday against the Nationals. I actually had tickets to the game, which was supposed to take place Wednesday night, but it was rained out. So, I missed the historical game, but I did get an autograph from Giants manager, Bruce Bochy and also had an unusual "tour" of the basement in Nationals Park while I watched the rain. The employees took pity on me and let me hang out under the park to stay out of the rain; one nice young lady even brought me a chair :O) I was right next to the Giants clubhouse too, which was tempting, but I did not want to get tossed out from my warm and comfy rain hide-out, so I behaved. 4 hours later, they finally called the game, but here are a few things I saw before that:
I have a new appreciation for the people who wear those heavy and uncomfortable mascot outfits.
So, on to the next game! Jamie Moyer will take the mound tonight in another late start of 10:10pm against the Dodgers. I do not know about you, but the lack of sleep this week is beginning to make me a tad fuzzy. TGIF! I will catch up on sleep tomorrow :O)
Your daily reminder: Be sure to elect the Phillies to the All-Star game! VOTE up to 25 times per day, per email address! I have gotten a few questions on this; if the form says you cannot vote because you have reached the maximum, all you have to do is clear your cookies in your web browser history and yes, you can VOTE every day, up to 25 times. Happy Voting!

My favorite athletic moment at Brandeis has been:
Training with the team in Puerto Rico last season and the feeling of preparedness and team unity that winter training helped create for UAAs.
My favorite high school/non-Brandeis athletic moment has been:
Competing in the 10k and 5k at open water nationals in 2011 and watching my sister win the gold medal there in the 10k.
My favorite class or professor at Brandeis is, and why:
I am really enjoying my class this semester on the Iranian Revolution taught by Professor Sohrabi. So far my favorite professor at Brandeis has been Professor Urban who taught Islamic Political Thought.
One thing people would be surprised to know about me is:
I was attacked by a tiger in a zoo once but luckily the fence held and I had a good reaction time.

Compatible Web Server Software and Architecture
Producers are required to develop sites and databases that are compatible with PBS's existing Web server software and architecture. Specifications for sites and databases developed on PBS's dedicated Amazon servers is available at http://docs.pbs.org/x/fYCr, and specifications for sites and databases developed on PBS's internal servers is at http://docs.pbs.org/x/fQHB.
Support for Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosting
In an effort to provide PBS producers greater flexibility to innovate as well as greater freedom to tackle emerging issues, PBS is providing selected producers with small high-performance dedicated servers. These dedicated servers provide content producers with greater technological freedom to innovate and experiment with new technologies. They also introduce isolation between producer sites, dramatically reducing the impact of adverse events.
With this additional freedom and flexibility the producer now has nearly complete control over their environment and the means to address all issues. This server is for the exclusive use of the producer to which it has been assigned. See PBS's Product Documentation space for detailed documentation on Amazon EC2 Dedicated hosts.
Technical support for Dedicated Hosts is limited to the following:
- Operational environment. PBS provides an operational computing environment to 3rd party third party developers and producers for PBS sponsored websites and applications. This operational computing environment is based on the LAMP (linux + apache + mysql + php/python/perl) technology stack. PBS provides Level 1 technical support necessary to insure that the services are "available" for use and as designed.
- PBS-sanctioned widgets, modules and applications. PBS has developed a suite of applications, widgets, modules, and scripts that may (and in some cases must) be used by 3rd party third party developers. PBS provides Level 1 technical support regarding the use of these components.
- PBS network services. PBS provides network access (e.g. FPT, SFTP, and/or SSH) to development, staging, or production computing resources where 3rd party third party applications may reside.
PBS does not, however, provide technical support for issues regarding the use, development, application, tuning, or customization of development and scripting languages, application frameworks, or applications developed by 3rd parties third parties and/or the open source community. PBS relies upon its 3rd party third party developers to be self-sufficient in these areas.
Content Management Systems
All Content Management System plans must be reviewed and approved by your Program Manager at the start of your project. Drupal is not allowed due to repeated performance issues with high-traffic sites.
IP Address
Sites may not assume that their IP addresses will not change. That is, if the IP address changes, the site must still function properly.
Domain Name
Sites should not assume that their domain names are fixed. That is, if the domain name needs to change, the site should still function.
Repeatable Amazon-hosted sites
Site should be "repeatable" on Amazon. That is, PBS should be able to back up the producers application directory and database, create a new machine, and the site should come up without any human intervention. All customizations must be automated using the boot.sh file which is run once upon server provisioning.
Content Distribution Network (CDN)
All third party developers and producers are expected to utilize the PBS Content Delivery Network which is currently hosted by AWS CloudFront.
Full use of the CDN is a launch requirement for the following media types:
- All media files, including but not limited to Flash, video, GIF, JPEG, etc.
- All javascript files greater than 10k (except those which are hosted by 3rd third parties such as Google or Yahoo).
- All CSS files greater than 10k.
All database intensive sites must implement object based and/or page level server side caching as necessary in order to maintain high performance.
- Use of memcached is required for all "dynamic" pages that rely upon an internal database or 3rd third party services for real time data.
- PBS requires the use of memcached for all server-side object and page level caching.
- Implementation instructions can be found at http://docs.pbs.org/x/lQDu.
Performance and Load Testing
In order to maintain the highest level of user experience, PBS requires that all applications and sites developed by 3rd third party developers on PBS's Amazon hosting services undergo (and pass) performance and load testing.
Performing this testing is the sole responsibility of the 3rd third party producer or developer. The purpose of this load testing is to demonstrate that the application has been engineered to handle the high levels of traffic that the site may see at launch.
- Using the small Amazon instance (LAMP stack) that has been provided by PBS, sites and applications must demonstrate that they are capable of achieving 50 requests per second from 10 simulated users. All performance testing must be performed with the copy of ApacheBench that is included on the instance provided.
- Upon completion of load testing, producers will be required to submit a copy of the load testing results to PBS for review.
- The maximum allowable latency for the loading of any single page is 5 seconds.
Documentation on how to perform load testing may be found at http://docs.pbs.org/x/UYPj
HTML Specifications
In order to reach the most users, sites should be developed using HTML specification 4.0 and cascading style sheet specification CSS1. Other HTML specifications may be used as long as the principals of Progressive Enhancement/Graceful Degradation are applied so that there is always a compelling and usable experience available for the site user. Compliance with The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) guidelines and recommendations is required. HTML standards must be compliant for the doc-type it is declaring. If it is not, PBS reserves the right to not publish or to limit the site audience.
Supported Web Browsers
Sites must be developed to support PBS-approved Web browsers across platforms. Although it is not assumed that all users will have the identical experiences when using different browsers, it is vital that every user be able to experience the same content and as much visual richness and interactivity as possible.
PBS currently supports the following desktop browsers:
Chrome **, Internet Explorer 9+, Firefox **, Safari **, Opera **
** Latest, or most widely used version http://gs.statcounter.com/
Mobile devices running: Apple iOS, Android 2.3, & Android 4 **
Google Analytics Tagging
PBS uses Google Analytics as a preferred method of generating detailed statistics about visits to PBS.org Web sites. It is the producer's responsibility to request a Google Analytics account from their content manager during site production; metrics will be unavailable to the producer otherwise. To function properly, every page of a Web site on PBS.org must include the Google Analytics Tracking Code (GATC) through a Server Side Include. For more information and implementation techniques, visit [http://docs.pbs.org/x/MICr|]
PBS Code Widgets
Standard interactive features must be created using tried-and-true code available in the PBS code widget library. If a relevant code widget exists, PBS code must be used. The PBS Product Documentation area (http://docs.pbs.org/x/sYCy ) lists the current products and applications for you to use.
Registration and Authentication
Any project wishing to provide registration or authentication services to its viewers must utilize the PBS Universal Authentication Service. Further information can be found at: http://docs.pbs.org/x/dQHB.
Additionally, by utilizing UUA you agree to abide by the UUA RP Agreement. Further information about PBS Interactive's data retention policy can be found in the UUA FAQ.
Blog Publishing Platforms
PBS supports blogs developed with MovableType 4.3.4 publishing platform with Pro Pack, Perl version 5.6.1 as well as legacy versions 4.1 and 3.2.
- If a project requires extensive customization, 3rd party third party producers may elect to install their own instance of Movable Type in their operational environment, or they may elect to select another blogging platform.
- Installation, customization, debugging, and support of any such blogging platform is the exclusive responsibility of the 3rd third party developer.
- It is the developers responsibility to select a blogging platform that meets their product requirements as well as that will run using the technology stack and operational environment provided by PBS.
Plug-in Introductory Text
When a plug-in is required to view site content, the teaser must be accompanied by introduction text that:
- Explains what the feature is
- Lists the file size of the feature
- Provides a link to the plug-in download page.
Use of any cookies is subject to the oversight of the PBS technical staff and cookies that extend beyond a user session must be developed in partnership with PBS technical staff.
Airdate Code on PBS.org
When providing broadcast information, you must use PBS's airdates code. PBS's airdates code is a simple server-side include which can be customized by CSS. It automatically displays the correct broadcast dates and times for local stations, using data provided by TV Guide and cross-referenced with the episode titles and descriptions the producer provides to PBS Traffic and Operations.
For more information, read the detailed implementation steps on the PBS Product Documentation site at http://docs.pbs.org/x/OICr.

Dual level terminal block
Weidmuller introduces a new terminal block to the WDK Terminal Series for machinery, process and power generation industries. The WDK 10 dual-level terminal is designed to reduce cabinet space by 50% and is ideally suited for applications where there is limited panel space for power distribution terminal installations. With a 10 mm width, the WDK 10 offers one of the highest wiring densities among screw terminals for power distribution applications requiring 6AWG conductors.
Weidmuller's WDK 10 integrates two independent circuits within one terminal. This new design includes corresponding jumpering channels that accommodate the connection of screw-down jumpers to adjacent terminals. Depending on power distribution requirements, an upper- and lower-bussed terminal is available (WDK 10V) to common 4-wires to one terminal. The new WDK 10 features Weidmuller's vibration-proof and maintenance-free "self-locking" screw clamp termination technology and is electrically rated for 600 V/64 A/18-6 AWG to UL and CSA standards.

Arcadia to be New Leaf's Farewell ProductionAny theatre company with limited resources experiences the ongoing tension in balancing the needs of a sustainable company infrastructure to support our work versus the aesthetic needs and attention required to create that work. We've decided that Arcadia will be our last effort at striving for that balance, and fittingly we have poured our hearts and souls into this production. Like any play we've ever done, Arcadia is complicated, nuanced, and challenging, an exploration of difficult questions, and an opportunity for renewal - just the way we like it. We welcome your thoughts and reactions to this decision, and hope you can join us in celebrating where we've been, where we are, and where we're going. "When we have solved all the mysteries and lost all the meaning, we will be alone on an empty shore. And then we will dance."

@AnonymousJoAnns and an outlet fabric store in my area. If you're looking for flesh colored ribbon I had a hard time finding it as well so what I did was buy off white ribbon and pink RIT dye. I dipped the ribbon in the dye for a few seconds than washed off. Worked perfectly.

In 1931, Aldous Huxley's novel A Brave New World told us a tale of what society in the distant future would look like… a place of advanced technology, new social structures and radical changes in how humanity interacts with each other… sound familiar?
Well, arranging the Georgia Speech-Language Hearing Association's (GSHA) short course offerings has opened my eyes to how very fast the role of being an SLP is changing from year to year. We are now serving highly diverse populations of multiple nationalities, utilizing technology that just 10 years ago was science fiction and becoming more and more an integrated part of the healthcare community in general. From NICU to hospice, home health care to the public schools, SLPs are involved with communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan. We are providing these services in a cost effective, evidence based manner that is making real and measurable change in the populations we serve.
It is with this "Brave New World" in mind, that GSHA would like to present to our fellow convention-goers three short course opportunities that are sure to make a positive impact on the clients, patients and students we all serve. ASHA has given the Georgia association the wonderful opportunity to provide ticketed pre-convention and convention related short courses on November 14th and 15th. Please join us on November 14th for-
Barbara Fernandes, M.S., CCC-SLP The iPad and Your Therapy – Apps, Accessories, Accessibility and Features
Jose Galarza, M.A., CCC-SLP Spanish Influenced English: What Every SLP Should Know
and on November 15th for-
Kate Krival, Ph. D. CCC-SLP Anticipation: Neural Bases and Clinical Implications in Swallowing in Adults
Our pre-convention activities on November 14th will include presentations from Barbara Fernandes, M.S, CCC-SLP and Jose Galarza, M.A. CCC-SLP. Barbara (better known as GeekSLP) will be presenting on all things Apple, Ipad and App related. Bring your Ipad and/or Iphone to her presentation and you will leave better understanding how to use it with your respective population. Jose's presentation will address the needs of monolingual SLPs working with bilingual children in the school setting. Since school SLPs are increasingly faced with the communication needs of Hispanic children, his presentation is especially relevant to the English speaker attempting evaluation and treatment of those children. Barbara and Jose are both experts in their respective areas and will highly impact the attendee in a positive manner.
On November 15th, join GSHA in welcoming Kate Krival, Ph. D., CCC/SLP. Dr. Krival directs the Swallowing Research Lab at Kent State University and she is a Research Investigator in the Head and Neck Neural Interface Lab at Louis Stokes Veterans Administration Medical Center in Cleveland, OH. She is particularly interested in clinical research targeting sensory-based interventions for swallowing disorders in adults with neurogenic dysphagia. If dysphagia is your area of interest, Kate will leave you with tons of evidenced based ideas for use with your patients!
So, Join GSHA and ASHA in facing this Brave New World of ours with the confidence that these courses will keep you informed, up to date and ahead of the curve!!! See you in Atlanta…
Edgar V. (Vince) Clark, M. Ed., CCC/SLP, advocates for the importance of state association participation whenever possible. He is currently the GSHA to ASHA Liason for the 2012 convention, current GSHA CEU chair and is a past-president of GSHA. Professionally, he is interested in adult dysphagia, all things technology, and the use of social media for promoting the professions.
The ASHA Convention is quickly approaching! If you haven't already registered, don't delay–register today! Stay tuned to ASHAsphere in the weeks leading up to the ASHA Convention for posts by the official Convention bloggers–Jeremy Legaspi, Tiffani Wallace and Katie Millican. Not an official Convention blogger but want to write a post about it for ASHAsphere? No problem! Send posts to Maggie McGary at firstname.lastname@example.com and it could be featured here.


text: In a rare area appearance, Philly's own saxophone legend Sonny Fortune played a double bill at Chris Jazz' Cafe, 1421 Sansom St. in Philadelphia. With a large contingent of family and friends on hand, Fortune did not disappoint, delivering a 75-minute set of jazz standards and originals. Backed by a sizzling hot band that consisted of Michael Cochrane (piano), Lee Smith (bass) and Steve Johns (drums), Fortune opened the set with a flawless interpretation of the Wayne Shorter song 'Footprints,' featuring Fortune on clarinet and Johns playing a dueling solo. Paying tribute to Shorter, Fortune included one of his own original compositions entitled 'Waynish,' with Fortune and Smith taking turns soloing. Freddie Hubbard's 'Little Sunflower' found Fortune displaying his mastery of the flute, accented by another captivating bass solo by Smith. Fortune closed out the show with a uniquely original presentation of the Duke Ellington's classic 'Caravan.' Opening with an extended drum solo, the song had a Bohemian feel to it, with Fortune playing an energized marathon saxophone solo. Throughout the evening Fortune's efforts were heartily acknowledged. Thunderous applause ended the set with a standing ovation for a job well done by one of the best horn players in jazz. Fortune will return to Chris' in the fall.

Photographer Christian Åslund Turns the Streets of Hong Kong into a 2D Video Game
Stockholm-based photographer Christian Åslund recently payed tribute to retro 2D video games using the streets of Hong Kong as a backdrop. The photos were taken as part of an ad campaign for shoe brand Jim Rickey utilizing models who would lay flat on the streets or sidewalks to create the unique perspective. I've seen many photographers toy with this idea, but the wide-angle nature of these shots taken from such height creates a truly fun and expansive environment. See many more shots from the series here. (via design taxi)

Temporal lobe
epilepsy involves the portions of the brain that
control emotions and memory. The temporal lobes are located on each side of the
head just above the ears at the temples. Temporal lobe epilepsy can cause both
partial and generalized seizures.
Temporal lobe seizures cause behaviors such as smacking of the lips
or rubbing the hands together. Other features of the seizures may include
emotional or thought disturbances and hallucinations involving sounds, smells,
or tastes.
Treatment with medicine controls seizures in many people who have
temporal lobe epilepsy. A type of brain surgery called anterior temporal
lobectomy is another treatment option for people with this type of

The soundtrack they used to open the show was "Girls Wanna Have Fun", it was pretty funny. Then after dropping the banner and playing the big chord, they jump right into Howl. This show was very interesting because their guitars were tuned to E standard, so all of their songs were in different keys. Then the 59 sound came right after, and I made my way to the mosh pit that they had. I can't really remember the whole line up by heart, but I'll try to recall everything in order. My favorite song of the night was Senor and the Queen because I was not expecting any pre-59 sound songs and it made it seem like they were playing a punk show from back in the day. After a couple more songs, Brian went on a rant about how Mel Gibson is a racist, and called out an audience member for talking over him. Then they played Queen of Lower Chelsea. After songs such as Blue Dahlia, Old Haunts, Old White Lincoln, Too Much Blood, etc., they threw in the classic Blue Jeans and White Tshirts. It was great. After they played Keepsake, they all put their guitars away and walked off stage. Everyone began shouting for one more song, and we were given five more. The encore had songs such as She Loves You, Muholland Drive, and Mae. They also played Here's Looking at you Kid during the encore. This song was definitely one of the highlights of the night because during Alex's guitar solo, one member of the crew propped him up on his shoulders and walked around while Alex played while sitting on his neck. It was unexpected. Then the final song of the night was The Backseats, which is always a great closer. Over all, a great night. I'm having trouble finding videos of the show on youtube, but check them out when they get uploaded. They never cease to amaze me!
johnkelly730 wrote:Sounds like an awesome show! The part about Brian calling out a guy in the crowd reminded me of this video I saw a while back:
Kind of awesome but the way he does it makes him sound a little cocky. Glad he did it though.
Stanzalone wrote:When an artist takes time aside from playing their songs to speak to the crowd they don't do it because they want to talk shit about a specific person, or to waste your time, or especially call out a member of the crowd. They do it to make a connection with their fans in the audience.
They aren't robots on stage that are there to simply play and get off. If you don't want that extra experience from an artist, stay home and listen to the album because you'll never go to a live show and not see the lead singer take a minute to talk about something other then their music.
As for him calling out the people trying to speak over him, good for Brian, they were being rude and he had every right to do and say what he did. Like he said, when people are paying to come see you then you can be the one talking over everyone, or in some cases choosing not, and not making connection with your fans. Then you can play song after song and get off stage. But until then it might be best if you do stay home because like I said, it's an important part of the show.

Troy-based Talmer Bancorp Inc., the holding company for Talmer Bank and Trust, filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday for an initial public offering that it hopes will raise about $230 million.It is believed to be one of the largest IPOs in the history of state banking and the largest in at least 20 years. Troy-based Flagstar Bancorp Inc. had an IPO of more than $150 million in 1997. The price per share and number of shares to be offered have yet to be determined. It is expected that the IPO will occur before the end of February. It will trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol TLMR. David Provost, the president, chairman and CEO of the bank and president and CEO of the holding company, was unavailable for comment but told Crain's in the past that one purpose of going public would be to finance a major expansion into the Chicago market, where it has a small presence. In the filing, the bank said it planned to use the proceeds to pay debt of $35 million. The filing also said, "We intend to use the remainder of our net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to support organic growth, as well as possible acquisitions of depository institutions through traditional open-bank and FDIC failed-bank acquisitions, and through selective acquisitions of financial services companies or of assets, deposits and branches that we believe present attractive risk-adjusted returns and provide a strategic benefit to our growth strategy. We are involved in dialogue concerning the potential acquisition of a number of financial institutions; however, no agreements have been entered into regarding any possible transaction and there can be no assurance that any such transaction will occur." As of Sept. 30, the bank had assets of about $4.7 billion, total loans were about $2.9 billion and total deposits were about $3.7 billion. The bank had net income of $21.7 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, and $86.0 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2013. It has 887 branches in four states, including Ohio, Wisconsin and Illinois. The IPO will fuel the continuation of an expansion that was launched in April 2010 when the bank, then known as First Michigan Bank, had a single branch and $90 million in assets in Troy. That April, the bank bought the troubled Port Huron-based Citizens First Bank after it was shut down by federal regulators, a purchase funded in part by a fundraising of $200 million, almost $50 million of it from New York financier Wilbur Ross and his private equity firm of W.L. Ross & Co. LLC. The bank followed that acquisition with the acquisitions of a series of banks being closed by regulators, including Peoples State Bank of Madison Heights, Community Central Bank of Mt. Clemens and the First Banking Center of Burlington, Wis. Following the Wisconsin acquisition in 2011 and with Illinois and Ohio in mind, First Michigan changed its name to Talmer. In November 2012, Talmer bought First Place Bank of Warren, Ohio, which added $2.6 billion to the $2.2 billion in assets Talmer had at the time. Last July, Talmer opened its full-service bank branch in Chicago. It previously had a loan production office in the city. Last October, Talmer bought the remaining assets of the long-troubled Capitol Bancorp Ltd. of Lansing in a federal bankruptcy proceeding, including the Bank of Las Vegas, Indiana Community Bank, Ann Arbor-based Michigan Commerce Bank and Sunrise Bank of Albuquerque, N.M. Michigan Commerce has branches in Ann Arbor, Auburn Hills, Brighton, Detroit, Grand Haven, Holland, Kentwood, Portage, Muskegon and Farmington Hills.

How to Find Time to Train Your Dog
Dog owners sometimes complain that they just don't have the time to train their dog. But training is worth the time and effort because it teaches your dog to be well behaved. And the more time you spend training your dog, the easier it will be for him to pass the Canine Good Citizen test.
To make training a priority, look at it as a fun game — something you and your dog enjoy doing together. Training shouldn't be a chore. Then identify the times during the day when you interact most with your dog.
Here are some times when you can take advantage of training opportunities:
Feeding time: If your dog is still a puppy, you feed him four, three, and eventually two times a day. Each meal is a training opportunity — teach him to sit and stay before you put his dish down. Make him wait for a second or two, and then let him eat. You'll be surprised how quickly he catches on to this routine. You also can put the dish down first and follow the same procedure.
While relaxing with your pooch: The Down command can be taught while you're watching TV. Take a few treats to your favorite chair and work on getting your dog to stay in the Down position for longer periods of time each night.
You can also use this time to brush your dog and handle his feet so he gets used to the sensations.
During walks: Every time you take your dog for a walk is a training opportunity to teach him not to pull, to sit at the curb, and to heel when passing other dogs.
All of these commands teach your dog to focus on you and look to you for direction — and they all happen as a part of your daily routine.
