(Opening Statement) "Got a good Mercer team coming in on Wednesday. They play about 11 guys, 10 plus minutes and 2 guys about 9.8 minutes. Good defensive team, they score the ball and have a lot of set plays who execute very well. Bob (Hoffman) has done a great job coaching those guys. They have some big wins this year, Florida State, at Alabama. I think they had a tough loss at Georgia. So it is a talent team. A team that has been together and won the CIT, if I am not mistaken, last season."
(On what film seen on Mercer) "Coach (Kent) Williams has the scout. Watching them on film, they run set plays. They do a great job. They have good guards and good bigs. Similar to a pack defense so to speak, keep you out of the lane and force you to make shots from the perimeter."
(On Mercer's approach to the game playing a major conference team) "I think in this case it is a little different. Last year when they played in the CIT it was probably a great experience for them. I think in this case they feel like they should have won their league. You are probably talking about a team that is probably similar to us all depending on the days they had off since their last game to absorb the fact that they probably weren't a NCAA tournament team and get back to work and practice. It is also tough even at a major level you felt like you won at your league and had a chance to be in the NCAA tournament team but it didn't fall your way. So that can be emotionally taxing as well."
(On difficulty preparing team after tournament letdown)
"I thought it was tough last year as well. I just think both cases are very similar because you felt like you were right there. I think in this case, me as a coach, I felt we were right there more so this year as opposed to last year. I could embrace the fact last year the case was that, okay preseason didn't work out as well but I thought we had some good games. We lost some games in the preseason and had a great schedule, so I felt like this time around we did the things necessary to be in there. Once again you're talking about three straight years in the SEC the second place team doesn't get into the tournament. Then you talk about a team that finished fifth and 11-7 in the league that doesn't get into the tournament."
(On NCAA criteria as moving target) "I think so, because three years ago Missouri State would've been in the NCAA tournament if it was what it is today. That's part of it, that's why you have to do everything in your power not to allow anybody to make a decision on your future."
(On importance of SEC tournament) "But it shouldn't be that way, because now you're talking about are we a mid-major league. You're talking about a BCS league and you're saying we have to approach it as if we're a mid-major league. If that's the case, then we need to schedule like mid-major league. Then, maybe we can get eight or nine teams in the tournament.
(Elaboration on scheduling like mid-major team) "Because what would happen with mid-major teams is they schedule aggressively because they know the best case scenario to get in the NCAA tournament is you have to go play teams. So then maybe we need to go schedule like mid-major teams. Tennessee did. I can't speak for anybody else but at the end of the day, at the rate we're going if we don't get it right in some way shape or form, you're looking at three different new guys every year. I mean something has to give. It's about a league at the end of the day because I wanted with everything in me for Alabama to make the NCAA tournament, Kentucky to make the NCAA tournament. When you get to that point, you're competing as a league not as an individual. I'm not one of those guys who has an ego and wants to see this guy fail. This is a league because what happens when the league is good, everybody is good. Big Ten top teams are good and their bottom teams have success, they even get into the NCAA tournament. That's what it comes down to at the end of the day, we need our league to be good. It's not an ego thing where whoever finishes, you finish first; but there is no way in the world this league with this caliber talent and you're only getting three teams in the NCAA tournament, it shouldn't happen."
(On being angry for not making NCAA tournament) "No I'm not angry. I mean, I'm upset for our guys because I felt like we did the work. Like I said, last year I wasn't upset. I was hurt for our guys because of the work they put in, but this year is a little bit different. I felt we did the necessary work to be in the NCAA Tournament, so that part is unfortunate. You can't get any better scheduling than we got in the preseason."
(On Team caring about NIT) "Well I just think it's tough, especially when you're right there. It's different if you had a week off, you knew you were in there, and you can practice and have a little fun with it but when you're right there and feel like you made it as a team, it's emotionally taxing on you. I think last year we might have played on a Tuesday, you got another day to get your head right, so to speak, and get after it. Hopefully we can play some different guys that have some energy and give some guys that haven't played a lot the opportunity to play the game, but it's not easy. We do our jobs as coaches to get our guys ready to play, but you like to think once the ball is tipped, its basketball but it's easier said than done."
(On impact of NIT for next season) "I don't think so. I think if you can win it... because if you have different guys coming in. You have one of your better players returning, you have guys that will fight, guys that played a lot of minutes that will be fighting for minutes, so you have a lot of factors involved within that. It could, I mean I just all those things within the individual player, and when you want to be good you put the time and put the work in. You know and then ultimately staying away from injuries."

The Australian had surgery in Derby after falling in the European round of the championship at the Leicestershire circuit.
Scroll down to read more:
The Ducati Xerox rider was leading the first race at Donington when he crashed and damaged the little finger on his right hand.
Bayliss, who celebrated his 38th birthday on Friday and then took pole position on Saturday at Donington, has returned home to Monte Carlo to recover following the operation.
The crash at Coppice on lap six left Bayliss needing surgery to remove the top two bones on his finger, an operation which was carried out at the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary.
Bayliss now faces medical checks on Friday and the following Thursday before he can be given the all-clear to race at Valencia in Spain a week on Sunday in the fourth round of the world championship.
Bayliss said: "The crash happened so quickly that I don't remember my hand going under the handlebar or anything.
"I'm confident I'm going to be fine for Valencia. I feel like things are coming along okay and I've still got plenty of days to recover.
"I feel like I can get on a motorbike now but I won't know that until I do. Hopefully in just a week and a half you'll see the usual Troy."
Bayliss' crash dropped him to sixth in the championship points standings which are topped by Britain's James Toseland on the HANNspree Ten Kate Honda.

To all of Harriet's Friends:
I post today with sad new. We had to put sweet Harriet down today, but it was so peaceful for her. We pet and hugged, and kissed her, and held her until she fell asleep. She purred right until the very end.
The vet suspects that she suffered from cardiomyopathy, which basically is disease of the heart muscle.
We brought her home in a towel and her favourite clementine crate and buried her in the back yard. We are going to put a little memorandum garden over it for her, and I'm going to paint a little rock for her with her name on it, and put it out there. She really loved the backyard, running around out there.
She's going to be missed, but I feel very good that she went peacefully and happy.
We love you Harriet, we're going to miss you.
I caught and killed my first mouse today, EVER! I left it in front of my mother's computer room door, where I knew she would find it, and she fed me lots of treats. I might look for more of these mice things, if it's going to get me all this good stuff.
Jeez, all they are doing is spending time with that stupid fish today. All I want them to do is let me sit on their lap and watch tv, and have my ears scratched, and pet. But nooooooooo...they gotta spend all that time with Phil and clean his tank. I keep trying to tell them to pay attention to me, instead of him, and they keep getting mad at me for complaining so much. Maybe I better stop meowing, my mother doesn't look like she's gonna take any more of my fooling around today.

The Tree House Slippers
Not the most attractive of all slippers. They're made entirely out of hemp, which isn't just eco-friendly, but also it's comfortable.
This hemp throw rug could be used either for practicality or for decoration. Hemp is know to be durable, resistant to mold and similar problem and to be completely biodegradable.
Usually a non regulation frisbee would aggrivate me. But something like this, is great to take along on the camping trip or for a more casual toss.
I like the simplicity of this back pack. Yes, nothing major going on, But, it was constructed to be completely eco-friendly. Made with hemp, no chemicals, dyed with eco friendly material. Simple look, strong statement.

Vulnerable young
(Published in The Age, 28 July 2011)
MICHELLE Griffin's excellent report (Focus, 27/7) highlights community visitors' contribution to the care of people with a disability living in supported accommodation.
We support calls by Child Safety Commissioner Bernie Geary to introduce a community visitor scheme in residential care for vulnerable children and young people. This would offer a powerful voice for them and be a means through which they could independently advocate for change.
The proposal's effectiveness would depend on its details, and the engagement of young people and residential care providers in developing a model that would provide real benefits. Failures of the system, and in quality of care, need to be acknowledged and addressed. This should include accountability for individual practices, and also facing up to the resource constraints and demand pressures beyond the control of service providers. Community service organisations should not be held to account where the failure is one of government in funding the system.
Dr Lynette Buoy, CEO, Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare, Melbourne
Lessons in tragedy
(Published in The Age, 31 March 2011)
DRAWING lessons from the tragic death of Darcey Freeman is not the same as seeking - in the words of your editorial (The Age, 30/3) – to ''give some meaning to an unspeakable act''. We can sadly grant that Darcey's murder is without rational explanation or meaning, and that Arthur Freeman has been justly held to account, but still seek ways to prevent such dreadful conclusions to the young lives of other vulnerable children.
It is essential to heed the measures that have already been suggested to intervene earlier in situations where children are at risk. To suggest such measures is not to reduce Arthur Freeman's responsibility for his actions, or even to claim that all deaths are preventable - they are not. What is possible is for society to construct as many barriers as we can to block the many pathways to harm at the earliest possible stage. A test of the Baillieu government's responsibility will be the extent to which the current child protection inquiry heeds the lessons of earlier inquiries and reports, engages the community sector, and recommends meaningful measures that are resourced to make a difference.
Dr Lynette Buoy, CEO, Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare
Remember the young and homeless
(Published in The Age, 10 February 2011)
AMONG the most alarming findings of the recent survey of homelessness in Melbourne is that 25 per cent of survey respondents were from a foster care background. Coupled with the recent report that even priority cases for public housing are experiencing unacceptable delays, this again points to an urgent need for specific action to meet the needs of children leaving state care.
Our vulnerable children cannot be allowed to become lost in these numbers when they are at risk of chronic homelessness.
Solutions that must be urgently considered by the new Baillieu government are providing dedicated public housing for the relatively small number of young people who leave state care each year. Housing is a key factor in the future prospects of these young people, and must be combined with appropriate supports for their well-being.
Further consideration should also be given to extending foster care from 18 years of age to 25. While the average parent would not expect their children to leave home unsupported at 18, why should we subject those far more vulnerable to such hardship?
Future surveys will be the test of success or failure in our support of young people who should not be forgotten when they leave state care.
Dr Lynette Buoy, Centre of Excellence in Child and Family Welfare, Melbourne
Improve disclosure
(Published in The Age, 16 October 2010)
IT IS unfortunate the Department of Human Services has highlighted additional "checks and balances" as the answer to revelations regarding children in state care. There are limits to these admittedly necessary measures if training and resourcing continue to be inadequate. If there are simply too few carers and they are not sufficiently supported, there will be diminishing returns and a mounting human cost from further measures geared narrowly to monitoring compliance.
At the same time, we should acknowledge that a range of incidents from an under-resourced system caring for troubled children is entirely foreseeable, and the focus of reporting needs to accurately identify the most serious cases where action is urgently needed, rather than burdening carers with bureaucracy that hinders rather than supports quality care.
Where important disclosures need to be made public, this should not occur only after the intervention of the Ombudsman or via questions on notice from a parliamentary committee. Given the emphasis placed by the department on reporting by community service organisations, it's time we considered ongoing public reporting by the department itself on broadly agreed indicators around the standard of care experienced by children whose legal parent is the state.
We should also consider extending the powers of the child safety commissioner, or creating an independent children's commissioner, to ensure that disclosure is matched by effective government action, with a focus on training and resources to boost quality of care.

WWE superstar CM Punk has left WWE, following a meeting with WWE officials at RAW this Monday.
CM Punk reportedly told Vince McMahon and other WWE officials that he was going home and not coming back, possibly due to WWE's plans for him at WrestleMania where he was due to face Triple H. Punk is under contract with WWE until July.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, CM Punk noted that he does not know what he's going to do yet [regarding his contract] and he seemed to express a lack of enthusiasm for the gruelling schedule of WWE.
TMZ says that Punk was "livid" after learning Batista was set to win the Royal Rumble match because he feels Batista is not in great wrestling shape.
Punk tweeted this on Monday, just before he would have told WWE officials he was leaving.
After Punk notified Vince McMahon of the change, RAW re-writes began, but details are conflicting at this time. PWInsider notes that one of their sources claimed Punk was due to wrestle Antonio Cesaro and lose via interference from Kane, who Punk is currently feuding with.
With Punk gone and seemingly not coming back, WWE are now changing plans for WrestleMania and are instead said to be going with Daniel Bryan vs Triple H at WrestleMania.
As ever with professional wrestling, this could all be a big work, so keep an eye on Pro Wrestling Is Fake for updates.

Chinese telecom equipment and terminal manufacturer ZTE (0763.HK; 000063.SZ) today debuted its LTE-A Inter-band Dual-Carrier commercial base station at the Mobile World Congress 2012 (MWC 2012) in Barcelona, Spain.
The new LTE-A commercial base station is based on the company's SDR hardware platform. It introduces inter-band carrier aggregation and MIMO (multiple input and multiple output) technologies. These technologies can double peak rate for individual users, enabling high-speed downloads of up to 270Mbps in the downlink and meeting growing data service demands. During the congress, ZTE also demonstrated the base station's inter-band carrier aggregation capabilities on two bands: 20M 2.6G and 20M 1.8G.
As frequency resources are becoming increasingly valuable, carrier aggregation technology will help assist operators with separate and discontinuous frequency resources because it can aggregate multiple carriers and increase frequency utilization rate. This technology also enables greater bandwidth, higher user throughput. In addition, it can solve the problem of rapid throughput decrease in the cell edge.
As of the end of 2011, ZTE had won 30 LTE commercial contracts across the globe, including with CSL, H3G, Vodafone, Softbank, Zain and others. The company also has deployed test networks in cooperation with more than 100 operators all around the world, including in Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.

(HRAF) at Yale University. eHRAF is a cross-cultural database that contains over 350,000 pages of information on all aspects of cultural and social life for about 100 cultures. The annually-growing eHRAF database is unique in that the information is organized into cultures and ethnic groups and the full-text sources are subject-indexed at the paragraph level. There are over 300 cultures included in the print and microfiche copies of the Human Relations Area Files. The cultures covered in the microfiche collection as well as on the web are described at Human Relations Area Files--Collection of Ethnography. CSUN's microfiche collection is located on the 4th floor, East wing. There is a white binder at the Reference Desk in the Oviatt Library which lists the cultures available in microfiche or on the web.
The Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) is a digital library of education-related resources, sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education. ERIC indexes and abstracts over 750 journal titles in education and related fields, including communication studies, and has recently begun to add full text articles. The Oviatt Library subscribes to many of these journals either in print or online formats, which is indicated via the Find Text feature contained in the CSA version of ERIC. In addition, thousands of research reports and other non-journal documents ("ERIC Documents") such as, conferences, meetings, government documents, theses, dissertations, reports, audiovisual media, bibliographies, directories, books, curriculum guides, lesson plans, and test evaluation instruments are included. ERIC is an excellent source for locating communication association conference papers, for example. More than 107,000 of the ERIC Documents issued 1993-2004 are available online in full text for free.

What plants for a small tank that have color?
While I do enjoy looking at my tank, I feel as if it is lacking some more color? Everything is very green! only thing that has a slight hint of red is my Rotala Indica. Anyone have any suggestion for plant species with more color? tank is an 8 gallon & the footprint is kind of cubeish. No special substrate just sand, c02 via reactor, seachem comprehensive, 1 15watt 6500cfl & one 13 watt cfl 6500
Ludwigia repens x arcuata:
Rotala Magenta
Rotala macrandra
How about Tiger Lotus, Red (Nymphaea zenkeri)
I have a 10G low light with a small bulb with 5 leaves each averaging 3/4" square.
these plants are undemanding and can be trained to stay low to the substrate.
Another is a Cryptocoryne of diffrent varieties, they come with hues of bronze, purple etc.
Ludwigia sp Red.
The Rotala macranda, Rotala magenta & Ludwigia repens x arcuata all look nice! Hopefully my lfs has either of these in stock.
Tiger lotus is nice also, but I don't think I'd be able to make room for it in my tank
Reinekii Cardinalis, Rotala Rotundifolia, Ludwigia Repens, and some crypts are red
You can get the tiger lotus from Walmart. They are sold as bulbs, and usually conform to their environment. Meaning they will stay small if they don't enough room to grow. Plus, if you let them reach the top, they can flower. I've only seen the flower in people or white though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I would suggest the dwarf Lilly, its really easy and adds some really cool features to your tank, ive got 2 of those bulbs sprouting at the minute and i cant wait for them to get full sized! the last dwarf lilly i had i loved
I'm definitely no plant expert but what about Alternanthera reineckii. I really like the look of the reddish/purplish underside of the leaf with the green on the top side. Makes a nice contract. Mine stay that way even with low light but I think with higher light the whole plant gets more red.

Maybe it doesn't sound like a big deal, this business of "soccer moms" suing FIFA over concussion injuries. Maybe it is something that the FIFA biggies can laugh off. At any rate, you know that's what they'll try to do.
I mean, the very idea, these California moms -- who are they to tell mighty FIFA (and the U.S. Soccer Federation too, they're included in the lawsuit) how to run their sport?
How serious can they be when they're not even asking for money -- just quietly stating that, in their opinion, FIFA has not done enough to protect soccer players from the dangers presented by concussions.
Well now. They may be a virtually anonymous group who are being referred to with the silly "soccer moms" tag, they may be a bit naive in daring to take on FIFA, and in not seeking damages ... but they have a point. Indeed, they very much do.
FIFA has not done enough to raise the sport's concussion awareness level. I have the clear impression that FIFA would like the concussion issue to go away. Until it does so, FIFA will do the minimum, issuing self-congratulatory statements that it evidently hopes will be mistaken for action. Absolutely typical is the FIFA response to the lawsuit, telling us that "FIFA has always assigned a high priority to prevention and treatment of head injuries." "Always" here means for the past 12 years, when the concussion issue started to look ominous -- though I don't think FIFA can be singled out for negligence, for no other sport was paying much attention to concussions.
But consider this. FIFA tells us that it has developed "clear recommendations" -- that is, medical recommendations for the assessment and treatment of concussed players. What FIFA has not done is to make any changes to the game itself designed to minimize the frequency of heading.
Referees are now instructed (or so we are told) to stop the game at once if they suspect a head injury, and to call for medical attention.
But just how seriously are these recommendations taken? The soccer mom lawsuit has arrived at the very moment when we have been presented with solid proof that the recommendations are either dodging certain actions, or that they carry no weight at all and are openly ignored by both players and referees.
Exhibit No. 1 here is the frightful assault committed by Germany's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer on Argentina's Gonzalo Higuain in the World Cup final, about which I have already written. As a "recommendation," have players not been told that they cannot jump heavily into another player with knee raised to head level? (And you can wonder why they would need to be told that).
If they have been so warned, then Neuer had no hesitation in ignoring the warning. Have the referees not been "recommended" to take strong punitive action against such violent fouls? If they have, then referee Nicola Rizzoli wasn't listening, as Neuer's foul went unpunished -- indeed, Rizzoli somehow managed to give the free kick to Germany.
A scary incident in which neither the player nor the referee showed the slightest sign of awareness that smashing a knee into an opponent's head contravenes FIFA recommendations. Well, maybe it doesn't -- because FIFA does not seem to have gotten round to looking at the game itself in an attempt to ban concussion-provoking play.
That, of course, is the most provocative issue. The lawsuit seems to be focused on the possible dangers of heading, in effect calling heading the root of the problem. But is it likely that FIFA will want to acknowledge that it might be necessary -- medically necessary -- to ban heading -- an intrinsic part of the sport -- could be banned?
FIFA will be increasingly vulnerable to concussion lawsuits the longer it continues with its low-key response. It has not done nearly enough. It needs to set aside a substantial grant to fund a serious, independent study of the problem (which will, of course take years to complete).
It must stop relying on the same sort of defense that eventually cost the tobacco industry billions: that there is no incontestable proof that heading (read: smoking) causes concussion (read: lung cancer), and that therefore heading (read: smoking) is just fine.
Perhaps more importantly than anything, FIFA needs to conduct an intense look at the sport itself and to establish exactly what role heading should play in it. There is room for a great deal of change there -- right up to banning heading altogether. The answer, no doubt, would be a compromise -- but it would need to be a compromise that outlaws the Neuer-style knee-to-head fouls.
That, just six weeks ago, Neuer's foul took place, that the referee ignored it, that FIFA has nothing to say on the matter -- these all point to the same conclusion: That FIFA is not doing nearly enough to combat concussions. And that therefore the soccer moms' legal case has substance.

Sep 15, 2013 - StaffNational Theatre Live presents a major new production of William Shakespeare's "Othello" at 1 p.m. Sept. 28 at Lander Library, 451 N. Second St., Lander.
The suggested donation is $10 for adults and $5 for students.
Adrian Lester ("Henry V," BBC's "Hustle") takes the title role, with Rory Kinnear ("The Last of the Haussmans," "James Bond: Skyfall"), as the duplicitous Iago.
Othello, newly married to Desdemona --a woman half his half his age --is appointed leader of a major military operation. Iago, passed over for promotion by Othello in favor of the young Cassio, persuades Othello that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair. The classic play demonstrates the destructive power of jealousy.
The presentation is supported by the Wyoming Arts Council and the Fremont County Library System.

Former Bowling Green State assistant hockey coach Kevin Patrick has been hired as Wisconsin's new men's hockey assistant coach, Badger head coach Mike Eaves announced in a release Tuesday. Patrick, who is replacing recently fired coach Troy Ward, will begin Aug. 23.
"It is a great opportunity to work with the University of Wisconsin hockey program and its history and tradition," Patrick said. "I am very excited for the opportunity to be a part of coach Eaves' staff. I formerly worked with (assistant) coach (Mark) Osiecki so being reunited with him is something I am also very excited about. I enjoyed our first working relationship and look forward to doing that again."
Patrick's duties at BGSU included overseeing the defense, evaluating game tapes, monitoring team academics, scouting and recruiting, and alumni and community relations; a similar portfolio to what Ward maintained with the Badgers. In Patrick's first year, the 2002-03 season, the Falcons won eight games; in 2004-05, they won 16 and earned their first home ice advantage in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs in 10 seasons.
Patrick has also served as an assistant coach at Union College, with the Green Bay Gamblers, where he coached alongside Osiecki, and at Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Mass. Patrick is a 1992 graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor's degree in pre-professional studies; he holds a master's degree in sports management from Massachusetts received in 1998. He was a defenseman on Notre Dame's hockey team and was captain as a junior and senior. He also played lacrosse for two seasons. Patrick has also coached at the USA Select 16 and USA Select 17 festivals.
Patrick played professional hockey for one year with the New Haven Senators of the American Hockey League, the St. Thomas Wildcats of the CoHL and the Green Bay Ice of the AHA.
"Because of his experience, Kevin will be able to hit the ground running," Eaves said. "He knows the recruiting world. Within three years, his teams have made notable improvements wherever he has been. He is a good match to coach Osiecki and myself and will be a great addition to our coaching staff."
Burke ITA singles champion
Wisconsin junior tennis player Caitlin Burke won the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's national summer championships at Indiana's Varsity Tennis Center Tuesday.
A No. 4 seed, Burke defeated No. 2 seed Anna Lubinsky of Texas A&M, 2-6, 6-4, 1-0 (7) to win.
"I was just able to win most of the big points down the stretch," Burke said. "Those big points make the difference in a close match."
Men's tennis adds Kentucky transfer
Nolan Polley, a former Kentucky tennis player, will join Wisconsin's men's tennis team, head coach Greg Van Emburgh announced last week. Polley will be eligible to play this season.
Polley is a 6-foot sophomore who was the two-time Kentucky high school singles state champion. Van Emburgh was an assistant coach at Kentucky before coming to Wisconsin.
"I am really excited about Nolan coming with me to Wisconsin," Van Emburgh said. "His upside is tremendous and over the next three years he will do some great things. I am ready to get to work with this young team and he will be another major addition to help us reach our potential at UW."
Raiola up for Rimington Trophy
Senior center Donovan Raiola has been named to the Fall 2005 Dave Rimington Trophy Watch List. This award goes to the most outstanding center in the country. Raiola's older brother, Dominic, won the inaugural trophy in 2000 while at Nebraska. The Walter Camp Football Foundation, America Football Coaches Association, Football Writers Association of America and The Sporting News determine the winner of the award.

Littell's Living Age/Volume 134/Issue 1726/Thisbe
From Wikisource
She lives in the smoky city,
Low down by the railway line;
But she asks for no man's pity,
Nor cares for verse of mine.
She's moving hither and thither,
And often her work is hard;
But sometimes in fine weather
She rests a bit in the yard.
With the empty pail behind her,
She leans her arms on the wall,
And hopes that there he'll find her,
Her lover, strong and tall.
Up in the air above her,
The great trains outward go;
And many a lass and her lover
May journey to Jericho.
But when he stoops from his doorway,
And leans his arms on the wall,
The world would be in a poor way
If that were not best of all.

I tried to get most of the parts (except the diaphragm) manufactured in China / Taiwan, but I was not able to get the quality I wanted.
I ended up with production of the metal parts in Norway (and bought special stamping tools to get the needed quality), the holding / folding box for the diaphragm are made by a German company by 3D CNC and are made of "pertinax".
Only the neodym N52 magnets are manufactured in China.
You then add Norwegian labour cost for the assembly of the parts..
As it is now the AMTs will be expensive...

Hi Ray!
Congrat´s with this extremely interesting project. Looks for sure very promising. Have you had a chance to measure distortion (k2, k3...) for this unique driver? What is the sensitivity?

but the sensitivity will be between 90 and 96dB as I can choose some levels of the magnet field strength.
On the prototypes the strongest magnet field gave best sound quality when listening, but the worst measurements - so the sensitivity will be decided next week.
I have also designed a wave-guide for the AMT that will increase the sensitivity with some dBs and give better directivity.
The distortion on the prototypes when measured at 100dB @ 1 meter was -45dB (2nd) and -56dB (3rd).

There are some myths regarding AMTs - high temperatures of the diaphragms are one of them - with some amusing explanations..
When I designed my AMT I designed them to manage high temperatures and they can operate at up to 200 degree Celsius..
But when I measured temperatures I only got 1 to 2 degree temperature rise from the ambient.
I investigated both mine AMTs and several other brands and I found the reason for this "problem".
The traces of the "coils" shorts due to poorly quality of the folding of the diaphragms or driving the diaphragms above Xmax.
On the Heils and copies of those there is possible to have major shorting and even sparks can be seen...
That this results in distortion should be obvious.
But when measured with as an example Arta software this clearly audible distortion are not clearly shown...
I used an high power heat blower and heated the diaphragm until its shape became distorted and parts of the diaphragm was shorted.
Now It sounded highly distorted and the distortion / noise was more dominant than the audio....
But when measuring with Arta there was still not show any obvious differences on distortion....

Hmmmm.... in my old QC days we would "cook" things for 24 hour - but it was only at around 93.3 Celsuis (200f). The vibration table (shake - rattle - n - roll) was always fun to watch (from behind the protective bullet proof glass). But those days are long past and the only way I have to simulate those temperatures now is when SHMBO gets upset at some of my antics - followed by a few hours of a very chilly atmosphere.
I knew one of the guys at ESS that came up with the fixture to fold the diaphragms (if I remember his name was Robinson - not sure tho - it's was 35 years ago). It is the folding of the diaphragms and then their "mating" with the holding frame that was very difficult to do at first. They (ESS) did finally get it developed to a level that was acceptable in a QC fashion - but there were a lot of lessons to be learned along the way. That is usually the way things happen in the world of making something on a production line - a bit of trial and error to get things put right - especially so when fooling around with stuff that has not been done before and is a new technology.
To get your diaphragms to operate at these temp's and remain reliable is a great accomplishment - Congratulations!
DIY audio can be expensive but getting to see things go up in smoke - that's priceless!!!! ..... "whatever - call it brainfart of Mighty ZM"

Potentially "Disruptive" technology...
Hi Ray,
"I used an high power heat blower and heated the diaphragm until its shape became distorted and parts of the diaphragm was shorted.

But when measuring with Arta there was still not show any obvious differences on distortion.... "
99% of all commercial audio is designed and then marketed by "technicians" who dont know what behaviour / properties to measure or how relevant these are to the goal of life like sonic reproduction.
Clearly you are in the rare 1% group of designers ( not just a technician) who do know what to measure, how to measure it and how relevant the data is.
Congratulations on developing potentially "disruptive" loudspeaker technology.
I hope your huge effort and commitment will be rewarded financially, how (or if...!) you do will depend on many factors, including :
(1) Reducing manufacturing costs to a point where mass market production and sales will be attractive to VC companies / licensing to a PLC.
(2) Defendability of your patents, IP and trade marks
(3) Broad base appeal i.e. on wall and in wall home cinema, commercial premises - restaurants / bars etc, licensing to loudspeaker manufacturers.
Small niche markets like DIY or high end audio are only useful to "prove your case" and strengthen your negotiation position with the big PLC licence deals.
Many more things too but I just wanted to give you a heads up cause you seem to have a tiger by the tail, and they can bite...!
"Keep your friends close and enemies closer" ...
Good luck and once again congratulations on getting this far.
All the best

*Great* work Raymond!
I hope you will be able to put those into production. What about discussing the matter with Beyma or Mundorf?
Looking forward to see more detailed measurements, especially off-axis SPL. How low do you think they can go without baffle? (in a baffle-less dipole).

Thanks for all replies in this thread!
Attached a measurement @ 75 degrees...
The measurement is done in my listening room that have 60 cm thick concrete walls with 25 mm solid oak "panel", the floor are 25 mm solid oak and are floating on "mother earth" via 5 cm compact isolation, the roof are three layers of sheetrock and one layer of MDF and there are no curtains, no absorbents, no damping at all..
The measurements done here get some extra peaks and bump due to the undamped room - listening is great as long as proper equipment are used.

Today the San Francisco SPCA announced that 554 homeless animals had received assistance last year thanks to the Maddie's Fund Treatable Assistance Program (TAP). The TAP is a pilot program that helps northern California shelters find homes for senior animals, or those with treatable medical conditions, who were transferred from animal control shelters. The TAP provides a stipend when those animals are adopted, and in 2013 the SF SPCA received $419,300.
The funds went to help animals like Kenya, who was part of a litter of kittens transferred to the SF SPCA from San Francisco Animal Care and Control. Kenya had developed a severe upper respiratory infection as well as conjunctivitis, and was nursed back to health by SF SPCA staff before being made available for adoption. He's now happy, healthy, and in a new home.
"We're very grateful to Maddie's Fund for helping us provide care and treatment for so many homeless animals," said Krista Maloney, the SF SPCA's media relations associate. "The Treatable Assistance Program has been an enormous help for animals like Kenya, who need a little extra TLC before they start meeting potential adopters."
Tasha is another example of those who received assistance thanks to the Maddie's Fund TAP. Tasha was an eight-year-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix who became homeless when her guardian had to move. Before finding her new home, Tasha needed dental surgery. Thanks to the Maddie's Fund TAP, she received the medical care she needed and is now enjoying her new life in a quiet home in Mendocino.

The owner of the winning EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle selection bought their ticket in the York area of North Yorkshire, for the New Year's Day draw.
A spokesman for the National Lottery urged anyone who bought a EuroMillions ticket in the area to check it and, if they find it is the winner, to come forward before the 180-day deadline expires.
"We're desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings," the spokesman said. "This amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody's life.
"Being able to guarantee a UK millionaire every week with Millionaire Raffle is fantastic and we're urging everyone to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding so that this prize can give someone a really great start to 2010.
"Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa.
"We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win."
Millionaire Raffle is the newest game from the National Lottery, where for every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a Millionaire Raffle selection printed on their EuroMillions ticket.
The winning Millionaire Raffle selection on January 1 was SDV403955 and the ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on June 30 to make their claim.
If no one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to the Good Causes - adding to the £24 billion already raised through sales of lottery tickets since The National Lottery launched in November 1994.

Gain Weight
Living in a world of weight loss can be quite disconcerting for those trying to add more weight to their naturally lean build. Just as people who are overweight may be genetically predisposed to being overweight, so are those with smaller frames.
To gain weight, it is a matter of eating more calories through food than you burn through activity. To gain a pound a week, you would have to consume about 500 extra calories each day than your body requires for meeting its daily needs. If you are already an active person, your calorie goals for weight gain would be even greater. For example, the calorie needs for an active adult male is about 2,600. If that same man is trying to gain weight, he would want to begin following an eating plan that consists of 3,000-3,200 calories.
There is a healthy and unhealthy way to meet your weight gain goals. If you are overeating high calorie foods like fried foods, pastries and sugary treats or increased your protein intake-stop what you are doing! Focus on gaining weight in a healthier and safer way by following a higher calorie level meal plan from MyPyramid.
Here are some general tips to help meet increased calorie needs without feeling overstuffed:
- Add strength training exercise to your activities. Strength training will help you gain muscle-which weighs more than fat.
- Plan ahead. Eating just three meals isn't going to cut it for weight gain. Plan on eating about 5-6 times each day with meals and snacks. Use your food group goals to plan what and when you are going to eat.
- Increase your serving sizes of food at each meal. Make your portions slightly bigger, while being mindful not to overeat until you're uncomfortable.
- Drink fluids after your meal so you have more room for food. Yes, Mom was right!
- Choose nutrient dense foods. These include avocados, nuts, salmon, milk, low-fat cheese, low-fat yogurt, low-fat salad dressings, and granola.
- Add in unnoticeable calories. Powdered milk, beans, cheese, meat, wheat germ, and plant oils can be added to casseroles, soups, and sauces without much thought.
- Enjoy your shake! Do you have to buy a mega dose protein powder mix? No. Mixing together your favorite low-fat ice cream with items probably already in your kitchen- like fruit and graham crackers- will help meet your calories without over taxing your kidneys, liver or wallet.
Before making any changes to the foods you choose or the activities you do, keep track of a "typical" week's worth of meals and activities on MyPyramid Tracker. It allows you to record and analyze behaviors.
Get Enough Sleep
Sleep is a necessity for good health. It helps your body recover from the stressors of the day, repair and rebuild tissues, and balance hormone levels. But more than a recovery for the body, scientists are now seeing sleep as an important tool for preventing illness and chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

Balance Your Nutrition
Following a meal plan that is full of variety and balance is essential for long term weight management- and good health. Here are some of our favorite nutrition tips to get you started on a path to balanced nutrition. Just remember to start slow. If you see a few different practices you would like to make your own, practice these Steps to Success:

Nutrition 101
1-2-3: Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat
Carbohydrates are the body's preferred source of energy. We obtain carbohydrates primarily from four food groups- Grains, Fruit, Vegetables, and Dairy. To meet daily grain goals, choose high fiber, whole grains. For fruits and vegetables, focus on vegetables, as they provide about 2/3 less carbohydrates per serving than fruits. When eating fruits, enjoy whole fruits versus juice most often. In the dairy group, watch out for added sugar in milk, yogurt, and frozen desserts. Remember, 4 grams of sugar equals 1 teaspoon of sugar. So, if your yogurt contains 24 grams of sugar, you're eating roughly 3 teaspoons of added sugar (because milk items without added sugar naturally contain about 12 grams of lactose [milk-sugar]). For cheese, choose low-fat versions, control portion sizes of high fat versions, and use grated varieties for cheesy flavor without extra fat.

To learn what your calorie goals are for weight gain, meeting with a registered dietitian for one-on-one coaching is your best bet. They will be able to take into consideration your medical history, likes, dislikes, and develop a plan of success with you. To find a dietitian to work with, contact your local hospital or visit the American Dietetic Association and click on "Find a Nutrition Professional".

Daily Physical Activity
Your body was meant to move. Whether you like to dance, hike, walk in the park, or ski, let it do its thing! Daily physical activity does more than help manage your weight. It builds strong bones, maintains muscle mass (which burns more calories than fat!), helps burn off stress, keeps your core muscles in check (important for balance), makes you feel good about yourself, and maintains a strong heart. Plus, when weight gain is what you want, building more muscle mass is what you need.
What type?
If you do not participate in any form of physical activity, but would like to begin, it's essential to start off small and slow. First and foremost, consult a physician before you start working on the three components of physical fitness: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strengthening, and flexibility.
(Show More…)
How much each day?
Being physically active each day means participating in activity above your normal daily activities. Here are the USDA 2005 Dietary Guidelines for becoming physically active each day. Which goal is best for you?
(Show More…)
How do I choose a gym?
With so many different options out there, it is important to find a fitness center that delivers. Look for a club that offers the safest and best exercise equipment, programs, and personnel to meet your needs. Regardless of how cheap the membership fee is, you need to screen potential centers before signing the dotted line.
(Show More…)
Stress Management
When you are stressed, regardless what the cause is, you react physically. Specifically your heart rate, blood pressure, respiration and muscle tension increases. If left untreated, living in a constant state of stress could lead to digestion, sleeping, psychological, and immune system problems. Therefore, your long term health depends on our ability to cope with both daily stress and stressful events.

And so… the first ever UK Nordic Baltic Summit duly took place – without the intervention of Vikings and longboats, as my previous blogs predicted – on 20 January at the Whitechapel Gallery in East London. The Prime Ministers of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland , Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania travelled to UK with delegations of around a dozen business leaders, civil society and government representatives to pool their best and brightest ideas under three policy themes: technology and innovation, jobs, family and gender equality, and the green economy/sustainable business.
The morning's business at the Whitechapel Gallery consisted of 45 presentations grouped into three sessions, one on each policy theme, with five breakout groups running simultaneously each time. Each theme had a Chair and the Prime Ministers spread across the breakout groups and joined the other participants in listening to the presenters and joining in lively discussions afterwards. After lunch the Plenary session was opened to around 100 media representatives from across the region and David Cameron asked each Chair in turn to report back on the morning sessions and to moderate comments from presenters and PMs.
And this did indeed prove to be an exercise in Asummitry, innovative, sparky and thought-provoking. The concept of wellbeing worked its way through the themes of the conference, as did ideas that focussed on how to build strong family and social structures and promote innovation and entrepreneurship. There was also a strong interest in the idea that the UK, Nordic and Baltic countries could become an avant-garde for delivering jobs and growth and the potential for the North and Baltic Sea countries to become the world's leading green region.
Of course a good part of the value of this kind of event is in what it delivers by way of follow up, but the networks and energy created in London will be a great platform. Meantime, do have a look at the presentations to the Summit.

Noel Devine ran for 178 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries in the Mountaineers' victory over the Huskies to earn the Big East's offensive player of the week award. The victory kept West Virginia unbeaten in Big East play. He had 171 rushing yards in the second half, including the deciding touchdown on a 56-yard run with 2:10 left in the fourth quarter. Devine registered his fifth 100-yard game of the season and enters this week's game at USF ranked third nationally at 130.3 yards per game.
For the season, Devine has 912 yards, and is averaging 6.7 yards per carry. He has scored ten touchdowns.
Tavon Austin returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown to spark the Mountaineers and earn the league's special team's player of the week honor. He finished with 118 yards on two kickoff returns and became the first West Virginia player to score on a kickoff return since Darius Reynaud had a 96-yard TD against Maryland Sept. 14, 2006.
For the season, Austin has nine catches for 98 yards and a score, and has three carries for 13 yards from scrimmage. He has six kickoff returns this year, and is averaging 36.3 yards per runback.

The firm, led by chief executive Carlos Criado Perez, said that like Tesco it suffered from a big drop in petrol prices. This, combined with price cuts in its stores resulted in volume growth of 5.4% against 4.3% in the second quarter.
Britain's fourth-largest supermarkets chain said its performance reflected continued growth in customer numbers together with an increasing average spend from existing shoppers.
It is optimistic about the future as it continues to refit stores. Safeway said it has passed the period of maximum disruption from refitting so the benefits of increased sales should begin to outweigh the disruption caused by in-store work.
Safeway opened its first 'megastore' last month to complement its three other formats - superstores, supermarkets and convenience stores.
The shares held at 307p.

If involved in a car accident in Mexico, do what you would do at home: Stay calm, get the names and addresses of any witnesses, and contrary to what you may have heard, do not leave the scene. If someone is hurt and you leave the scene, you could face additional charges for leaving a person in need of help.
If you have insurance with a good company, you will have a list of contacts for Lawyers and Adjusters. Call them immediately.
If involved in a "fender bender" (your fault), you can quite often negotiate a cash payment. If, however, persons are injured, there will be an investigation by the police and statements taken. The vehicles and drivers involved will be detained until fault is established. (This is where witnesses are important.) You will have the opportunity to post a bond to secure your release until the investigation is complete. Your Lawyer or Adjuster should handle this for you. (Make sure your vehicle insurance contains this coverage.)
If you are found not to be at fault, you will be free to leave and your Adjustor will look after getting your vehicle repaired and returned to you. If you are at fault, you will be charged and the case will be heard in a criminal court. You will remain free on bond until the Hearing.
The penalties, if found guilty, will vary based on the seriousness of the accident and the damage incurred. For cases involving a death, the jail term is from three days to five years.
Payment for damages will be the actual cost of medical expenses and the actual cost of property damage. In addition, if permanent injury is incurred (paralysis, blindness, etc), payment will be based on industrial accident payment schedules, which allows payment based on minimum wage multipliers for periods up to approximately three years.
One thing that is of the utmost importance: Under no circumstances should you bring drugs or guns into Mexico. There is zero tolerance and you will go to jail. Under very strict rules, you may obtain a permit for hunting or gun club importation of a gun, but they are difficult to obtain.

This is a discussion on 2011 WRX Head Unit within the Electronics/Car Audio forums, part of the Interior Mods category; Originally Posted by dluk08 Yeap, pulled it out today (along with some trim paint) and moved it around. It seems ...
I can't return the clip because I connected the mount (using screws through pre-drilled holes.) So my plan is to use about a 4" piece of spray painted plexi glass to extend the phone away from the vents slightly.
I just replaced my HU with Kenwood KDC-x993 I ripped out of my TT before I sold it. It's a single DIN, looks decent and even though I would have preferred a 2DIN I didn't feel like dumping $600++ on a decent unit. I use my phone as a GPS and backup for Sirius/XM and other streaming stuff so larger screen wasn't much of a consideration either. My biggest thing was that I wanted to load 40+GB of music and Kenwood has no problems seeing it and playing it in any in any order I like. Color and screens for eXcelon line are highly customizable so you can match Subie color scheme nicely.
"At dawn they sleep..."
My Build : IAG Closed Deck Stage 2.5 ~ 427hp/399tq | Facebook | I may appear calm, but in my head I've killed you three times
"At dawn they sleep..."
So I finally pulled the trigger and bought a HU. Sony DSXS300 BTX
I was wondering if anyone had installed the din pocket seen here Clicky.
Is there anything else I will need to complete the installation? I've bought the steering wheel control adapter and the head unit itself.
Thanks for the help!
you need the dash kit, wiring harness, steering wheel button harness. There is no need for an antenna adapter. I just bought a sony xav62bt double din, and will be installing tomorrow
Wiring Harness
Now where can I get a decent dash kit? I really like the idea behind the din pocket with the door but I am not sure it will fit.
You have two options: Metra 99-8902 or Scosche SU2027B, people have used both. Search for reviews for both, I ended-up going with Scosche (see pics). I had to tweak it a little to bring pocket to the upper slot.
Here's a view of what Metra kit looks like (with my HU funny enough): Customer Image Gallery for Metra 99-8902 Single DIN Radio Install Kit for '08 Subaru Impreza and WRX
"At dawn they sleep..."
I got the 2011 WRX 5-Door. I replaced the head unit with a Kenwood LCD unit which fits in beautifully and an easy install. I suggest the Kenwood stuff. The interface is pretty good but what I love is the Garmin system built in.
The other thing which I suggest to do which I did is a Subwoofer cuz these stock systems dont give up much bass. I first tried a 12" by Hertz. It was sick but it was too big so now I went for an 8" Hertz that puts out 600W and fits nicely.

After gaining its independence in 1948, a perennial complaint of Israel was refusal on the part of Arab nations to reach out for peace, instead there was anger and hostility to even recognizing the existence of the state of Israel. During the past two years, the Arab League has offered acceptance of Israel in exchange for a peace settlement based on the borders of 1967. Israel has refused these offers on ground since in the past they were willing to cooperate with Arab nations and met refusal, the only solution today is to behave just as your enemies once behaved.
Qatar has offered to re-establish diplomatic relations with Israel and to even allow the opening of a trade office in its country, but Israel rejected the offer. Qatar had asked the right to rebuild Gaza, but Israel will not allow cement or building materials into the strip on ground these could be used to build bunkers or positions for missiles. Of course, that is possible, but seeking neutral supervision of the materials could prevent such use. Once again, Israel has met the enemy and discovered he is them.

Roast Chicken With Potato, Capsicum and Tomato
Recipe by katew
This is a one-easy-dish roast !!
Top Review by Leggy Peggy
A wonderful one-dish meal with juicy chicken and plenty of tasty vegetables! I cut up a whole chicken and covered it with slices of bacon, and spread the veggies around. I didn't bother running to the store for red capsicums, so used one each of a large green and yellow. Guests were coming, so I added 750 grams of potatoes, which ensured that no one went hungry. Used homegrown tomatoes and herbs. I was a little short of parsley, so added some snipped chives. Will make this often, but in future I'll also add a sliced onion. I love onion. I love this recipe. Thanks.
