Earlier we mentioned how the Hungarian finance minister is attacking Nouriel Roubini for the drop in the currency.
Now we're getting more details.
Hungarian business site Portfolio.HU explains that apparently it was a response to a call from Nouriel's company that the Hungarian Forint was a short:
"Last Tuesday Nouriel Roubini, one of the world's most
influential financial analysts, made the following recommendation
in his regular newsletter to his clients: "Until Hungary signs a
new deal with the IMF we recommend short HUF." So, with this
sentence he signalled for investors to bet on the forint's
Based on the forint depreciation that started on Thursday it
seems that the speculators took Roubini's recommendation to heart
and after preparing on Wednesday they have launched an attack
against the forint.

Benzonatate (Oral route)
Brand Names:
- Tessalon Perles
- Zonatuss
Dosage Forms:
- Capsule
- Capsule, Liquid Filled
Uses of This Medicine:
Benzonatate is used to relieve coughs due to colds or influenza (flu). It is not to be used for chronic cough that occurs with smoking, asthma, or emphysema or when there is an unusually large amount of mucus or phlegm with the cough.
Benzonatate relieves cough by acting directly on the lungs and the breathing passages. It may also act on the cough center in the brain.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before Using This Medicine:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of benzonatate in children younger than 10 years of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Older adults
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of benzonatate in the geriatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Pregnancy Category | Explanation | |
All Trimesters | C | Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women. |
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Other medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Other interactions
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other medical problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Mucus or phlegm with cough Since benzonatate decreases coughing, it makes it difficult to get rid of the mucus that may collect in the lungs and airways with some diseases.
Proper Use of This Medicine:
Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.
Swallow the capsules whole. Do not break, crush, or chew them. If the capsules come in contact with the mouth, it may cause the mouth and throat to become numb (loss of feeling) and choking may occur.
If numbness or tingling of the mouth, tongue, throat, or face occurs, do not eat or drink until these symptoms disappear. Check with your doctor right away if these symptoms persist or become worse.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For oral dosage form (capsules):
- For cough:
- Adults and children 10 years of age and older 100 milligrams (mg) three times a day. Do not take more than 200 mg at one time or more than 600 mg per day.
- Children younger than 10 years of age Use is not recommended.
- For cough:
Missed dose
If you miss a dose of this medicine, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
Keep the capsules in a child-resistant container and store it out of reach of children at all times.
Throw any unused medicine by mixing it with used coffee grounds or kitty litter and place it in a sealable bag, empty can, or container.
Precautions While Using This Medicine:
It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you or your child are using this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to take it.
If your cough has not become better after 7 days or if you have a high fever, skin rash, or continuing headache with the cough, check with your doctor. These signs may mean that you have other medical problems.
Benzonatate overdose can occur in children (younger than 10 years of age) within 15 to 20 minutes after accidentally taking this medicine. In children under 2 years of age, ingestion of even 1 or 2 capsules has resulted in overdose.

If any issue illustrates the stark contrast between pragmatism and sentimentality, then pigeon-feeding is it. QED's Pigeon Pie (9.30pm, BBC1), while jokily narrated by Alexei Sayle and backed by jolly music, makes gruesome viewing. Dozens of people empty plastic bags of breadcrumbs by a a park gate while the butcher, on whose premises the recipients roost, looks on in despair. Thousands of the birds hang about Tilbury docks, their droppings landing in the corn terminal: that's corn going into the food chain.
Lynn and Maggie Allen, meanwhile, run a pigeon sanctuary nurturing hundreds that might otherwise have died a natural death. Dr Chris Feare, meanwhile, takes us round a colonised empty hospital where corpses litter the ground and eggs hatch in ankle-deep piles of droppings, reeling off diseases affecting the human population.
The Allens are incensed that they've been refused charitable status. "Because of their bigoted attitude that pigeons are vermin we were denied it. Which is discrimination," Maggie says. Well, someone's got to pay for all that cleaning in Trafalgar Square.

MJK - A Method for Designing a Compact Back Loaded Horn Loudspeaker System
Has anyone read the MJK article "A Method for Designing a Compact Back Loaded Horn Loudspeaker System (added 06/21/12)" ?
What about any builds or comments? Other drivers that can be used? The only reference on DIYaudio is this one: Smaller Fostex Backloaded Horns Also: why is the MJK account "Account disabled at member's request" ? |

I read it, somewhat different approach then other designs i'm familiar with. Although the requisite corner loading does limit it's use room/placement wise, was wondering if a version for 6.5" drivers would work well with the new Mark Audio 12P driver?

probably - someone just needs to do the math - it's probably a whole lot easier to build a successful BLH than to design one (or more)

I don't get the idea behind the whole thing
Is the basis of it the fact that in a normal cabinet you "get rid" of the back-propagating waves by absorbing them inside the cabinet (thus losing pretty much half the acoustic energy that the speaker driver produces) but in a BLH you design the cabinet not to get rid of the back-wave but instead take advantage of it so, in the end, you get something for nothing? ("nothing" in this case being "spend quite some time designing it" ) ? Um how big would a decent BLH be for a pair of 12" AN CFs ? |

You don't get anything for nothing in this life. All chambered back-horns are essentially more or less extreme variations on the bass reflex theme, and like all back loads, are only useful over a relatively narrow BW.
The short version is that Martin's added an internal Helmholtz resonator to his back-horn, tuned to the design / target Fh to increase the acoustic low-pass slope. Last edited by Scottmoose; 29th September 2012 at 10:06 PM. |

in my opinion, you will first need to:
- determine the lower frequency of operation - it determines the diameter of the outlet (it is important from the point of view of size), - then selects the transducer, - later determines the length of the line, and other parameters. |

I don't think that has much to do with the OP's question. However. Some general points:
-The first thing one normally does is to determine the requirements, budget and size constraints -Evaluate a range of drive units that meet, or will meet, the above. Select preferred unit from shortlist -The horn terminus size determines the lowest frequency it is impedance matched to, once boundary conditions are accounted for. Axial length and taper determines the 1/4 wave cutoff frequency. These do not necessarily have to be one and the same. Standard horn profile equations become progressively less useful the more the horn expansion is compromised / reduced. Last edited by Scottmoose; 30th September 2012 at 08:06 AM. |

What have I said that is incorrect?
Surely. I don't want this thread to go any further off topic though since it's about Martin's box, not mine, nor is it a thread about horn design in general. However, if you want a handful of my designs, look up Frugel Horn 3 (done with DaveD & ChrisB), all of the Spawn designs (past & current) on the Frugal-horn.com site, the Madisound BK12m etc. Last edited by Scottmoose; 30th September 2012 at 09:21 AM. |

NHL Game Night: 1-17-17 Lightning at Ducks
Submitted by pete on January 18, 2017 - 18:19Hockey gods unfair to the Lightning.
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 21 shots for the loss. He played reasonably well, but you can make an argument his first goal allowed on a strange play where he vacated his crease before the whistle could be blown on a mask issue ultimately cost him a shutout and Tampa Bay a second point.
First Period
Second Period
4:36 TB Filppula (7), (Nesterov, Stralman)
4:57 ANH Getzlaf (6), (unassisted)
Third Period
0:54 ANH Rakell (19), (Kesler)(PP)
Jonathan Drouin was the game's third star. Best player on the ice, and it wasn't even close. Like many of the Lightning's players in the game, he had everything but the finish.
It's unfair really. This was probably the Lightning's best game of the season in all three zones. The attention to detail and hustle over the last couple of games has been amazing, and the Lightning pretty well dominated this game for 60 minutes with only the occasional uprising from Anaheim's top line. It's a shame the Lightning couldn't find one more finish, and it's a shame the Lightning ultimately lost the game on a power play off a penalty Tyler Johnson had to take in OT when he lost an edge pulling up in the offensive zone on a rush. The hockey gods are cruel.
The standings calculus is so dire right now it almost doesn't bear dwelling on. Suffice it to say the Lightning started to turn their game around about two weeks too late, and the margin of error for this segment is that they need to get 7 of 8 remaining points in this 10 game segment just to tread water relative to their position of 6 games ago.
Luke Witkowski had 2 penalty minutes and 3 hits in 9:22.
Gabriel Dumont was -1 with 1 shot and 3 hits in 8:03. He played a lot with Bournival and Paquette on a checking line that was absolutely fantastic in this contest. They were good against the Kings. They were dominant against guys well above their pay grade in this contest.

NHL Game Day: 1-16-17 Lightning at Kings
Submitted by pete on January 16, 2017 - 18:49Lightning stave off Kings even with Hedman ill.
Ben Bishop just allowed 1 goal on 32 shots for the victory. His puckhandling gaffe turned out to be the only goal he allowed. That's how you overcome a mistake in style: with perfection and a trove of situational saves.
First Period
8:33 LAK Clifford (3), (unassisted)
14:33 TB Johnson (13), (Drouin, Witkowski)
Second Period
18:47 TB Boyle (11), (Filppula, Kucherov)
Third Period
Jonathan Drouin and Anton Stralman were the game's first and second stars.
The Lightning showed a lot of grit under the gun of a lot of adversity when an ill Victor Hedman tapped out of the game in the pregame warmups. The Lightning got big minutes from Andrej Sustr and Nikita Nesterov to try to make up the difference, and they put in an inspired effort with their hustle and tenacity against the bigger, stronger Kings club.
Luke Witkowski had a helper and was +1 with 7 penalty minutes and 3 hits in 10:05. He did his job today setting the tone with a monster hit early in the game and then answering the bell to drop the gloves in an ensuing altercation. He got their minds right for what they needed to do in this game.
Gabriel Dumont had 4 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 9:56.

Crunch Defeat League-Leading Penguins
Submitted by jghoughtaling on January 16, 2017 - 17:57Even with multiple players making their Crunch season debut, Syracuse found a way to pull out the win.
The Crunch, whose lineup included four players on professional tryout agreements and a defenseman on one of the top forward lines, had four different players score in a 4-1 victory over the AHL-leading Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pengiuns at the Onondaga County War Memorial Monday.
"Whoever is in the lineup, we just have to play very hard," Syracuse alternate captain Yanni Gourde said. "We know these guys are coming to play. They're on a PTO and trying out for our team, so we know they're coming to play and they did a good job today."

They're part of the government's plan to reduce carbon emissions. Smart meters will make it easier for homes around the country to save energy.
Look at our customer guide to find out more about how we're rolling out smart meters. You can also see your rights about the data we collect.
We're rolling out smart meters now but with about ten million customers, we're doing it step by step.
You can fill out our quick questionnaire to check if you're eligible to get smart meters now. If you're not, we'll put you on our waiting list and contact you as soon as we can fit your smart meters.
All we ask is that you have both your gas and electricity with us. If you don't, it's easy to switch to us.
This is what you can expect on the day:
You'll be able to start making savings straightaway – that's all there is to it.
"It's great that you can view the energy you use over the day and see where the peaks are, and work out what they relate to." Kate, London
Traffic lights show you how much electricity you're using and a flame tells you about your gas use, so you're able to change things straight away. You can put your smart energy monitor anywhere in your home.
Smart meters take accurate meter readings of your energy use every half hour, daily or once a month. It's up to you.
Readings are sent to us with wireless technology, like your mobile phone.
You'll get an accurate energy bill without having to send us meter readings.
You can see how much you use on your smart energy monitor and in more detail online with our interactive tool.
You'll be able to:
And, the more you tell us about your home, the more specific tips and advice you'll get.
Q. Will I get new smart meters for both gas and electricity?
A: Yes. You'll only need one smart energy monitor though, as it'll show both your gas and electricity use and give you an idea of how much they're costing you.
Q. How much is it going to cost me to have smart meters?
A: There is absolutely no upfront cost to have smart meters installed. The cost of smart meters, just like the cost of the meters that you have now, or any cost of delivering energy to you, all form part of your bill.
Q. Will I be on a different tariff when I get my smart meters?
A: No, you can stay on the same tariff. Though we'll be introducing some smart meter specific tariffs in the future, so look out for those.

I'm finishing up all my prerequisites for nursing school. I'll have to apply in August to see if I get accepted for next Spring. My grades are good, mostly A's (2 B's). Acceptance is tight so I don't know what I will do if I'm not accepted. Maybe try at tanother school. My numbers were better today. I ate better and I had some of the best today after meals. Was higher a bit than I wanted after dinner so I exercised to bring it down. I like the highlighting of the foods. One thing I noticed on potatoes, there are some frozen entrees that I get to eat for lunch that have potatoes in them. Like I ate a Smart Ones today that had turkey and mashed potatoes. The carbs were only 18 even with the potatoes. My reading 2 hours later was 108. One of the best I've ever had. I only wished it had more veggies but then I could always add some crunchy celery, carrots, and broccoli with it to round it out. Somehow when I crave potatoes it seems like some of the things I have had where I think they might have been instant mashed potatoes (not sure) it seems that they didn't affect my numbers as much as I thought they would. Hope this helps you and I hope yours are the same. Keep up the good work!
I highlighted the good food in green, the ok food in yellow and the bad food in orange (I didn't have a red highlighter!!) so at a glance I can figure out what I should have!
The hard one for me will be no potatoes - I love them!! I did pick up some yams and will bake them - I do like those, just not as a substitute all of the time for potatoes. I'm going to try cooking cauliflower and mashing it in place of mashed potatoes. sounds good. Glad you are sticking with school. What are you studying?
Doing great Julie! Busy with school but it's worth it. Struggling some with meals from time to time. And yes that GI info is great! I like the idea of posting it on the frig. I think that would help me a lot!
thanks for the GI Diet guide link Deb - I copied this information and I am going to put it on the frig at home so I can refer to it! I've been most confused about the carbs. How is everyone doing?
Wow! Great info Deb. Thanks for all your input. I can see how a nutritionist can really help educate you on your diet and managing your diabetes. I have learned a lot from your posts. Thanks for sharing.
I posted this in response to a question in "Living with Diabetes" but I thought it would be useful here too so my apologies if you are reading this for a second time. I am not trying to spam.
The question what from a fellow who was only drinking coffee for breakfast and couldn't figure out why his blood sugar was sky high through the morning. He wanted to know if coffee only for breakfast was bad. This was my reply: "First I'll qualify my answer with the fact that I'm type 2 diabetic taking a low dose of Metformin. Oddly, your blood sugar will spike if you don't get enough carbs. The liver starts to dump sugar to make up for it. That is why your morning reading is higher than one would expect. Going more than six hours between eating puts the liver on alert so to speak. That is what Metformin is used for. (Controls the liver) The problem with diabetes is that the liver looses it's ability to adjust properly so it tends to dump too much sugar and the pancreas, being out of whack, can't handle the load. SO...not eating breakfast is about the worst thing you can do...as well as Not eating a snack at bed time. The body of a diabetic needs constant fueling...many meals a day. I try to eat something (carbs) every four hours or so...and a bed time snack. Going without spikes my sugar. The snacks can be one or two carb counts (15-30 carbs)...meals should be about (40-65) carbs per meal. I know this is a hard concept for many. Me being one of them...but I realize now that my bad eating habits...in particular, eating no breakfast and often times no lunch either, was probably how I got into this mess. I'm eating according to Spark plan suggestions...watching my carbs so they don't go to high or too low. I try to choose carbs that are "green light" carbs according to the GI (Glysemic Index)diet and I'm maintaining my BS within my targets. I eat way more than I ever used to. I eat BETTER than I used to and I'm loosing weight. GO figure. If you don't eat enough, your body plays this nasty trick on you. It thinks it's going into famine mode so it adjusts your metabolism to accommodate for lean times. That's why fad diets and starvation diets stop working. Your metabolism slows to a slugs pace and your just doing more harm than good. emoticon P.S. if you are following these suggestions, eating breakfast(keeping carbs within the range of 40-65 per meal and 15-30 for snacks, eating every four hours ...with your snacks between the longer stretches... and your sugars are still not within your target range, then you need to revisit the doctor and see if your meds need adjusting. If you are not eating like this...try this first and see what happens. *** Track your BS often for the first week then if it's looking pretty good...you can cut back on the tracking to once a day but very the timings. (***for type 2 non insulin dependent people only) If you are needing to loose weight, as most of us do...cut out the fat, watch the carbs but don't go short on them. Stay within that range." I hope this helps. As I said...I follow the guidlines "my Nutrition" has set for me, which happens to follow what my nutritionist set out for me...and I keep an eye on the types of carbs...trying to keep most in the green zone of the GI diet. They are not always there but I do notice a difference in the BS reads when I stay into the red zone too much. For those not knowing what I'm talking about... www.the-gi-diet.org/glycemicindexcha rt /
How does everyone handle their meals each week? Do you make a meal plan? Just watch what you eat? Have you tried something else? What works best for you?
Thanks Deb. I didn't think of the library. That is definitely the way to go. I can always start a computer file and type in the info that I feel I may need to refer back to. I think I will go check online what they have available. How are things going with you? How often do yo uget to go to the nutritionist? I think I may ask my Dr. about that. I might have something like that covered by my insurance. I will have to see.
You can probably save money on books by doing most of your research on the web. The local library may have things too, if you still have one in your community.
I would start with suggested reading via Sparkpeople as I find them rather level headed and not into the fad diets that are out there. With regards to carbs... I don't often get above 40 and like you it's usually around 30 or so but I have gotten it up around 55 a couple of times. Sugars vs complex carbs... the answer to that one, you'll probably find at the GI site as I'm probably as confused as you. I'll try to remember to ask the nutritionist tomorrow if I get a chance though. Edited by: MATOKUWAPI at: 3/29/2009 (20:14)
I have read the suggested carbs per meal/snack somewhere else and that's about what I heard. However, if I get that many carbs, I have trouble losing weight. I have been watching my carbs and haven't kept a running total, but usually get somewhere between 25ish to 53 (a rare occasion) per meal. Snacks can run higher than 15-20 until I read this and now I am trying to watch it better. My meal carbs are usually due to the frozen diet dinners from the store that I choose. I take those for lunch during the week because they taste good and keep me on target pretty much.
Carbs are the one thing that confuses me the most. I know I should choose from higher fiber and complex carbs. ANd sugar factors in there as well if I eat something with sugar. This is not a dessert, but something that would show up say like a sauce or something. I've heard I can exchange sugar for carbs on the exchange diet as long as it is not in excess (whatever that means). I am in the process of finding a good book or two. Money is tight so I have to be selective and I want them to be good ones.
Well, I guess I'm doing a little of everything. I do count carbs fairly closely. I read the labels on EVERYTHING now. The diabetes clinic says to keep them in the range of 40-65 carbs per meal and about 15-20 if your have a between meal snack. That's the goal numbers...but I don't always get in that much. I know I don't get in the suggested carbs on the Sparks Plan.
I also use the serving plate method...but I also combine that with the hands method. Meat should be the size of your palm and as thick as your little finger. (or deck of playing cards). I measure things like rice to get an idea how much a 1/4 or half cup looks like on the plate. I'm pretty good at stacking. I had years of practice so a quarter of a plate of carb foods could get might tall if I don't have an idea what I'm shooting for. I figure that serving after I know how many carbs are in it. I do the veggie thing... half the plate, and I'm not afraid to pile that up. I also think about exchanges, so that through the day I can get them all in...not necessarily at one meal. I'm also getting to know the Glycemic Index...so I can figure out the best carbs. This is the best web site for that: www.glycemicindex.com/ That's the place down in Australia that's been doing all the studies.
Hi team,
One thing I have been doing this weekend is looking into the various meal programs for controlling your diabetes. As I mentioned before, I have been using the plate method. Below are a glimpse of various plans. Try one, if it doesn't work for you, move on to another. Basically speaking when we eat, we need to watch the sugar and carbs. Be sure to consult your Dr. Here are the plans I found so far: 1. Plate Method - Using a 9 inch plate, 1/2 plate should be non-starchy vegetables, 1/4 should be your starches, breads, or grains and 1/4 meat or protein. 2. Diabetic Exchange List - six different lists of foods grouped according to similar calorie, carbohydrate, protein, and fat content; these are starch/bread, meat, vegetables, fruit, milk, and fat. A person is allowed a certain number of exchange choices from each food list per day. 3. Carb Counting - Counting your carbohydrates at each meal according to how they affect your blood sugar. Diabetes.org suggests starting with 45-60 per meal and adjust as necessary to help your numbers. That number just seems high to me, but maybe I am sensitive to carbs. 4. Glycemic Index - Also referred to as GI. The GI measures how a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood sugar levels. This is the same method touted by NutriSystem in their ads, you just learn to do it on your own. Diabetes.org also has a lot of info on this as well. One thing I learned that was very interesting to me was that converted rice (aka Uncle Ben's Rice) had a LOWER GI than brown rice! I would think it would be higher but it's not. Take care of yourself! Becky

Steve Jobs Slams Inquiry Into Apple Misconduct
A blog post allegedly written by Steve Jobs has surfaced, responding to rumors of federal anti-trust investigations into Apple. Is this the real Jobs? You be the judge.
Rumors are swirling about possible investigations by the Department of Justice and the FTC into alleged Apple misconduct regarding its ban on Flash, the tight controls it places on developers, and its moves into the mobile advertising market.
eSarcasm has come into possession of a draft blog post, reportedly written by Apple CEO Steve Jobs, responding to news of a potential investigation. Though we cannot confirm the authenticity of this post, we present it here for your thoughtful consideration.
Thoughts on Federal Regulation
Apple has had a long relationship with the federal government. In fact, we first met when they were in their proverbial Subaru and I was in the proverbial garage of my palatial estate (the one I actually live in, not the one I bought in Assfuck Tennessee to qualify for that liver transplant). I invited them in for some Lapsong Oolong and we had a nice long chat about why back-dated stock options were essential to preserving the American Way of Life. Ever since then, like clockwork, they have received shiny new copies of every life-changing device we introduce the day we introduce it. You might say we have an understanding.
I wanted to jot down some thoughts about possible investigations into how Apple does business, so that customers, critics, the vile pondslime that makes up the technology press, and any potential Federal regulators may have a better understanding as to why they should go eat shit and die.
First, there's "anti trust."
Apple does not hinder competition. Apple has no competition. Apple products are 100 percent available from Apple. Period, end of story. That asinine "lets' sell the OS to our competitors so we can be like Microsoft" bullshit was the first thing I killed when I brought Apple back from a persistent vegetative state in 1997. I still can't believe anybody thought that was a good idea.
There's only one place to get an iPod, an iPhone, or an iPad. You think that's an accident? It's not. You really want to buy a Microsoft iPhone? Seriously? Dude, get a grip.
Second there's "the App Store."
Yes, we rule the App Store with an iron fist. Yes our rules are capricious and arbitrary. Yes we approved 10,784 fart applications but killed political satire from a Pulitizer Prize winning cartoonist. Tough shit. Only the finest, loudest, smelliest farting apps make it past our
censorsblue haired old ladiesquality assurance specialists. We do this to ensure a quality experience on the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad. And by "quality experience," I mean whatever the fuck I feel like approving at that moment in time. You don't like it, develop for Android. Loser.Third, there's ad networks.
Hey, guess what — we now own a mobile ad network. It's called iAd. And now you expect us to share iPhone usage data with, what, Google? Are you out of your fucking minds? Even Eric Schmidt isn't that stupid, and that's saying a lot.
Fourth there's the English Language.
You want to add a diminutive 'i' in front of a capitalized noun, you gotta come to us first. And let me save you some time; the answer is no.
Fifth, there's the most important reason.
Me. Without me, you got nothing. Without me, you'd be rebooting your Windows Mobile CE 9.0 phone six times a day while listening to your Creative Labs Windows Multimedia Player Home Edition 2.3 and waiting for Dell to ship you your 7-pound $2000 Windows Pentop Tablet PC. You need me. Piss me off and I'll walk. I don't need the money. I certainly don't need the aggravation. I've already changed the world at least once today before lunch, and I'm this close to pulling a Houdini. Don't push me.
I'm Steve Jobs. You're not. End of discussion.

Media Foundation for West Africa/allAfrica
John Raka Conteh, a panelist on Radio Gbath, an independent community radio station in Tonkolili district, north of Sierra Leone, attacked the station after refusing orders from the moderator.
Conteh, an aspirant for the position of District Youth Chairman of Yoni Chiefdom, together with two of his supporters, vandalized the station on the night of July 19, 2012 after his behaviour forced the station to suspend an interview he was granting them.
The Media Foundation for West Africa's (MFWA) correspondent reported that the attack resulted in the destruction of equipment including laptop computers, digital recorders and external hard drives.
"Conteh who had been invited to discuss the postponement of the elections persistently refused to answer questions put to him but instead digressed, causing the moderator to put him off air", Hasan Koroma, station manager told the correspondent.
As a result of the moderator's action, Conteh pounced on and manhandled him while his two accomplices forcefully entered the studio with broken bottles and attempted to stab him.
The MFWA calls on the police as well as authorities of Tonkolili District to investigate the incident and ensure that the attackers are brought to book.

US dismisses Iranian long-range naval reach
WASHINGTON - The United States Wednesday treated an Iranian claim that it would send ships close to US waters with derision, saying it did not reflect Tehran's ability to project sea power far from its shores."We don't take these statements seriously, given that they do not reflect at all Iran's naval capabilities," President Barack Obama's spokesman Jay Carney said.
The State Department echoed those remarks.
"I'd simply say that given the limited size and capability of the Iranian navy they would be far better off focusing on the challenges closer to home," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters.
Such challenges include "reducing the potential for naval incidents in the Gulf and playing a constructive role in freedom of navigation and maritime issues at home and helping to counteract piracy in the Gulf of Aden," she said.
Asked if Iran were involved in counter-piracy initiatives in the Gulf of Aden or in the Indian Ocean, she replied: "To my knowledge they are not involved in these multilateral efforts."
Asked if Iran would be welcome to play such a role, Nuland replied: "I think that if they took a stronger role off their own coast in countering piracy, as I've just said, we would all welcome that."

Homemade no more: Nokia's last Finnish factory has stopped production
- 6
According to the Finnish publication YLE, Nokia's last mobile phone factory in the country has stopped producing handsets. The last phones from the plant in Salo were completed on Wednesday.
Nokia confirmed its plans to close the plant today. The move was expected, as TNW reported in June. While the factory will not build more phones, it won't be formally closed until September. According to The Nokia Blog, an unofficial publication that covers the company, some 780 people will lose their jobs.
Ever been to a tech festival?
TNW Conference won best European Event 2016 for our festival vibe. See what's in store for 2017.
The Finnish giant is cutting jobs in not just Finland, but also in Mexico and Hungary as it shifts production to Asia. In a press release that it issued in February concerning the cuts, the changes are designed to boost speed:
Shifting device assembly to Asia is targeted at improving our time to market. By working more closely with our suppliers, we believe that we will be able to introduce innovations into the market more quickly and ultimately be more competitive […] We recognize the planned changes are difficult for our employees and we are committed to supporting our personnel and their local communities during the transition.
That same release noted that in total some 4,000 jobs would be affected by the moves. The company is making a large number of changes to its structure, including the cutting of ancillary offices.
Nokia, no longer made in Finland.

Product Description
Bobbi Brown Lip Colour.What it is: The bestseller that started it all - Bobbi`s creamy, semi-matte lipstick was the first formula to launch (and sold out instantly). The secret to its success? Comfortable, full-coverage colour instantly gives lips a polished look.
Why it`s different: The non-drying formula offers full-colour coverage and comfortable, long-lasting wear.
How to use: Apply straight from the tube on clean, bare lips. Follow the natural line of the mouth, evenly covering the upper and lower lip. For a soft, stained look, blot with a tissue. For a more precise application, brush on with Bobbi`s Lip Brush (sold separately).

Frank's Flashbacks: The Highlighter
I and the rest of the family are enjoying a much needed vacation this week, so I'm posting classic episodes of "The Wildcat's Lair" this week. Since "Wildcat Wednesday" focused on an episode with my daughter, I decided today's episode should highlight my son. Appropriately enough, the title for this episode from 2008 is "The Highlighter." The inspiration for the episode came from the fact my son had two teddy bears which looked a lot alike, except for the color of their fur.

A Hospital in RomePage 4 What I learnedShoulder bags can be dangerous. An MRI brain scan at the Opesdale GB Grassi eventually showed that I'd had a mild stroke because of a blockage in a congenitally narrow vertebral artery, despite clear arteries and a plaque-free heart. A neurologist asked if I'd been wearing a heavy rucksack with straps that might have pressed on my neck. Answer: No, but I was carrying a heavy camera and computer bag when I walked down the gangway of the MSY Wind Surf and began staggering. (And I was wearing the shoulder strap across my chest, so that it pressed against the side of my neck with the narrow artery.) Foreign medical care needn't be discomfiting. Staying in a hospital overseas can be frustrating or confusing at times, especially if you have a sketchy command of the local language, but it can also be an interesting cultural adventure. And in Western Europe, the quality of treatment is likely to be on a par with medical care back home. (Just don't count on a TV and towels in Italy.) A 'world phone' can save the day. My room at the Ospedale GB Grassi didn't have a telephone, so my "TalkAbroad" international phone package from Cellular Abroad kept me in touch with home. I'd call my wife, and she'd call back via Gorilla Mobile. (Tip: Don't ever let your minutes run out on a prepaid phone. When I was forced to make a credit-card call at the pay phone down the hall, the cost was US $64 for a 10-minute conversation.) Italian hospitals can be noisy places. Italians like to talk, and they often talk loudly--even at 3 in the morning. Bring earplugs if you think you might be hospitalized and you like to sleep. Romans can be warm, wonderful people. I couldn't have been treated more kindly by most of the hospital staff, and--in several cases--by my roommates and their families. (On the day I left, the elderly gent in the next bed wasn't content with a handshake; he expected a farewell kiss on the cheek.) Italians are realistic about death. As I left the hospital parking lot by taxi, I saw two mini-billboards in the lane divider. Both were for funeral parlors. Patients, like prisoners, learn to be resourceful. My bathroom didn't have a shower, so I learned to take sponge baths and dry myself with a handkerchief. I also hoarded unused napkins, bottles of water, and anything else that I thought might prove useful. I was even able to change clothes frequently, thanks to quick-drying Ex Officio Air Strip shirts, REI nylon travel pants, and travel underwear from REI and Magellan's that I washed in the bidet or sink and wrung out before drip-drying. Medical-evacuation insurance is worth the cost. I was lucky, and I didn't need to be evacuated--but if my mild stroke had been worse, I might have faced with a choice between staying in Italy indefinitely or refinancing my house to get home. (A transatlantic air ambulance can cost US $40,000 or more.) I've now bought a family membership with MedJetAssist, which I arranged through our travel-insurance partner, InsureMyTrip. If you're middle-aged or older and can't afford to get stuck overseas, consider buying MedJetAssist coverage before your next trip. Also see:

Yeah Brad, did it last fall, anytime you want a catch let me know. People have been on it but not sure if its had a second ascent. You would be the man to put that to rest. Had a very nice cuppa at yours the other day, the place looks great. Clay, I think I used one of the holds you mentioned somewhere on the route. |

One of Andy's better newer lines. Steep, to vertical, to slab. Good rock and fun. Quit doing the same old things in the Green "A" and go do this one. |

Parallel Talus from The Mountain Warehouse, didn't expect much at the price (£20, buy one, get one free), but rate it far better than Lifa or Patagonia that i've used.Knocking them out at £8 last time I was there.

Got 2 lifas for £30 last night from Evans, there was a tenner off code knocking about on here.

Professional presence distinguishes the business presentation as a distinctly different form of communication, and it is the source of its power.
I should say potential power.
For much of the potential power of presentations has been forfeited.
It's a forfeiture of competitive advantage.
Forfeiture of Power
That potential has been squandered out of corporate fear, ignorance, egotism, conformity, and simple habit.
Lynda Paulson describes the unique qualities that a business presentation offers, as opposed to a simple written report.
What makes speaking so powerful is that at least 85 percent of what we communicate in speaking is non-verbal. It's what people see in our eyes, in our movements and in our actions. It's what they hear through the tone of our voice. It's what they sense on a subliminal level. That's why speaking, to a group or one-on-one, is such a total experience.
Here, Paulson describes the impact of Professional Presence.
It's the tangible contribution of the messenger to convey a convincing message. A skilled speaker exudes energy, enthusiasm, savoir faire.
The speaker becomes part of the message.
Here is where you become part of the message.
You bring into play your unique talents and strengths to create a powerful professional presence.
Naked Information Overflow
But modern technology has swept the speaker into the background in favor of naked information overflow. We see pyrotechnics that miss the entire point of the show – namely, persuading an audience.
Lots of people are fine with becoming a slide-reading automaton swept into the background.
And they'd be happy if you faded into the background, too.
Most people don't want to compete in the presentation arena.
They would rather compete with you for your firm's spoils on other terms.
If you do this . . . if you become an automaton, then you cede important personal competitive advantage.
The true differentiating power of a presentation springs from the oratorical skills and confidence of the speaker. That, in fact, is the entire point of delivering a presentation – a project or idea has a champion who presents the case in public.
Without that champion – without that powerful presence – a presentation is even less than ineffective.
It becomes an incredibly bad communication exercise and an infuriating waste of a valuable resource – time.
The Secret of Professional Presence
Today we are left with the brittle shell of a once-powerful communication tool. Gone is the skilled public speaker, an especially powerful presenter enthusiastic and confident, articulate and graceful, powerful and convincing.
Gone is Quintilian's ideal orator: "The good man, well-spoken."
We are left with an automaton slide-reader in a business suit.
This is surely a far cry from how we imagine it ought to be – powerful visuals and a confident presenter.
A presenter commanding the facts and delivering compelling arguments.
A presenter using all the tools at his or her disposal.
This vast wasteland of presentation mediocrity presents you with a magnificent opportunity.
Your choice is to fade into that gray background as yet another corporate mediocrity mimicking the herd . . . or to seize the moment to begin developing your presention skills to lift yourself into the rarefied atmosphere of the High Demand Skill Zone.™
Isn't it time you decided to become an especially powerful business presenter and seize the incredible personal competitive advantage that professional presence provides?
To develop professional presence through business presenting, consult The Complete Guide to Business School Presenting.

Although the study group has always been a childlike bunch, this season the gang seems to have reverted back to actually being children. In this episode, Troy (Donald Glover) gets jealous of Abed's (Danny Pudi) new friendship, Annie (Scream 4's Alison Brie) plays house with Jeff ( sexy Joel McHale), and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) says everything with a wide-eyed, confused look on her face. And then there's Pierce (controversial Chevy Chase). Well, he's just Pierce.
It is that wonderful time of year again when the Inspector Spacetime convention (the popular British television show of course) rolls around. The whole group decides to go even though Abed is the only one who watches the show. While there, Abed runs into a friend who totally tries to push Troy out of the picture. You know the type — passive aggressively forgets your name, makes inside jokes and doesn't acknowledge your presence. Britta said it best when she told Troy, "He's trying to steal your boyfriend."
Troy has a "crazy girl" moment when he lashes out in the middle of a seminar and Abed, being Abed, doesn't really even respond. Eventually, Troy decides that maybe Britta can start filling Abed's role and be, you know, his actual significant other. But that doesn't last long. Britta will never fill the void that Abed would leave behind.
At the same time, Abed has a "Winger" moment and discovers that he needs his friends, especially Troy, to keep him grounded in reality (as much as Abed can be). Plus, his new friend is a liar. Troy and Abed reunite and end up bonded together forever in a souvenir photograph.
Meanwhile, Annie is hanging out in Jeff's hotel room when room service assumes she is Mrs. Winger and she lets it go to her head. She allows all the staff to believe she's Jeff's wife. So, when the doorman discovers Jeff is in the lobby flirting with a beautiful woman, she keeps up the act to save face. She has a "jealous wife" moment, throws a drink on him and berates him for cheating. It doesn't help that the crowd thinks he's the villain from Inspector Spacetime and now everyone hates him.
After the dust settles, Jeff and Annie have a little chat about the act she put on. Turns out she does this often and maybe it's because she's not living a grownup life yet. Being an adult to her is ordering an appletini like they do in the movies. She's still just a kid.
The best part of the episode is certainly the ending when Jeff gives in to being the villain lookalike and gives the fans what they want. He rushes on stage and busts open his shirt. Nice closing image.

Internship questions?
Business Students discuss internship experineces
Regardless of your business major, an internship (or several!) is the best way for you to gain practical experience to build on what you're learning in class. It's also a great way to start developing your business network, which is vital in reaching your career goals!
Depending upon your need and current academic standing, there are two, for-credit types of internships: 1) Business Department credit, BNSS 487; OR 2) Linfield credit through the Career Center, IDST 287. You may apply for and complete up to two internships that apply towards your graduation credits. Of course, you can always do an internship on your own whether you apply for credit or not!
Business Department – BNSS 487 Internship
You'll need to consider three important requirements to gain business internship credit before you start your internship. To successfully enroll in BNSS 487 Internship — which may be taken for 2 to 5 credits you must:
If you can check off all of the above, stop by the Business Department office in T.J. Day Hall and pick up an internship package or download and print a copy.
Career Center – IDST 287 Elective Internship
Another type of internship is IDST 287, offered through the Office of Career Development . This internship is available to all Linfield students. Contact the Career Development office for requirements and additional information.
Where to find internships and job opportunities
One place to start is at Linfield's Career Development. This team offers a number of career-preparation classes, personal advising and lots of great resources. So visit them online and in person. Also, through Career Services many Linfield alumni make themselves available for networking.
As a Wildcat (current student or alumni) your Linfield login gives you access to Cat Connect where you'll find a variety of listings for internships and jobs.
Additionally, check the bulletin board across the hall from the Business Department office where we post internships and jobs that may not be available elsewhere.
