For the past three years, Charlie McKeeman has turned heads on the football field with punishing hits from the linebacker position. But it was his play on offense last season that caught the attention of URI.
DARTMOUTH — For the past three years, Charlie McKeeman has turned heads on the football field with punishing hits from the linebacker position.
But it was his play on offense last season that caught the attention of the University of Rhode Island.
"After they saw my senior highlights of me playing quarterback and fullback, they want me on offense," said the Bishop Stang senior, moments after signing his letter of intent Wednesday morning at the high school.
The 17-year-old McKeeman follows in the footsteps of his father, Joe, who played on the offensive line at URI from 1977-1980.
"I grew up with URI," said McKeeman, a resident of Portsmouth, R.I. "My dad played there and my mom (Marguerite) went there too. I've been to a home game almost every year since I was eight years old. It's a great atmosphere and it's great football. I found the perfect school and I couldn't be happier."
Getting a full scholarship from URI to play Division I-AA college football, McKeeman quieted his critics.
"Everyone told me 'no way, you're not going to play DI coming out of Stang.' That's what everyone said to me," McKeeman said of conversations he had his freshman year. "I pride myself on that I work really hard. I've been working extremely hard for three years, getting better each and every year."
Even though Bishop Stang struggled through a 1-10 campaign this year and 3-8 in 2011, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound McKeeman never lost focus on his ultimate goal.
"Having been through two tough seasons competitively in terms of win-loss record, he never gave up," said Bishop Stang coach Ryan Sylvia. "He's always wanted to play Division I football and he did everything he had to do to get there. Now he has an opportunity in front of him."
An injury to teammate Mike Pratt last fall forced McKeeman to switch from fullback to quarterback in Week 6. It turned out to be the best move McKeeman ever made.
"That has been the biggest help of my football career so far," he said. "I had to understand the game more. I had to know what everyone on my team was doing."
With Stang running an option offense, it was up to McKeeman to make all the calls.
"Is he going to give it to the fullback? Is he going to keep it himself or is he going to pitch it off to the running back?" said Sylvia. "We put that on Charlie and we let him make those decisions. I think that helped with learning the game."
More injuries on the team gave McKeeman less options, making him carry most of the offensive load. He finished the season with 1,225 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also led the defense with 131 tackles.
"Anybody that watched us this year saw that he was our offense once we had some of the injuries," Sylvia said. "We joke around that a triple-option scheme became a single-option scheme because we had Charlie McKeeman playing quarterback."
Sylvia had some reservations about playing McKeeman at quarterback.
"Are we hurting Charlie by playing him so much on offense?" Sylvia wondered with his coaching staff. "Are we hurting his ability to be recruited because he's such a great defensive player? We just thought if we could play on offense and he could have some success there, college coaches are going to see that."
As it turned out playing quarterback made McKeeman even more hungry on defense.
"Every game I'd get hit a lot and I'd say 'I'm going to go play middle linebacker and return the favor,'" he said. "I can't tell you how much tougher it made me."
URI HEAD COACH JOE TRAINER: "In some respects, Charlie's film looked like the old Little League clips. He was one of the biggest guys on the field, carrying the ball and just kind of bouncing off of people. His father, Joe McKeeman, was a great player, so we know he is coming from great stock."
JOE McKEEMAN: "I grew up in Connecticut so URI was a far-off place for me. For him, it's a familiar, local place, which is great. It's great for us because we'll be able to get down there and watch him play."
VERSATILE ATHLETE: During his career at Bishop Stang, Charlie McKeeman, the 2011 Standard-Times Defensive Player of the Year, has played quarterback, fullback, running back, halfback, tight end, strong safety, outside linebacker and middle linebacker in addition to playing special teams. McKeeman said he doesn't matter which position he plays at URI. "I just want to play," he said.
OTHER INTEREST: McKeeman was recruited by Assumption, Bryant, Sacred Heart and the University of New Hampshire among other schools. "I thought maybe I'd end up at UNH because they were recruiting me pretty hard," McKeeman said. "They would come up a lot and I went to their camp and I thought I'd end up playing there. I didn't talk to URI for awhile and then they saw my senior tape and they were like 'we like this kid, we want this kid.' To be honest with you, I would have picked URI over UNH just because I've grown up with URI and I live in Rhode Island and it's a great school."
TIES TO DARTMOUTH: McKeeman joins former Dartmouth High players Andrew Kestenbaum (offensive lineman) and Rich Bellizzi (kicker/punter) at URI. McKeeman actually stayed with Kestenbaum on his official visit to the school. "He's a great guy and we had a lot of fun. We talked about the Stang and Dartmouth rivalry. We had a lot of fun with it, joking around."

XMM-Newton technology on new telescopes
Astronomers gazing deep into the night sky to uncover the Universe's secrets will soon be able to discover even more star-births and planets thanks to new telescopes being built in Chile and Mexico drawing on space technology.
Leading-edge production technology, developed by Italian company Media Lario Technologies for the extraordinary X-ray telescope on ESA's XMM-Newton spaceborne observatory, will be used for both the world's biggest radio telescope, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array Project (ALMA) in Chile, and the large single-dish Large Millimeter Telescope in Mexico.
"Two of the key requests for ALMA were the precision of the panels and the need not to perform any special maintenance of the panels during the life of the telescope," explained Michele Suita, ALMA Programme Manager at Thales Alenia Space Italia.
Accuracy better than the width of a human hair
To provide ALMA's high accuracy and performance, all of the 3000 reflector panels forming the 25 antennas 12 m across that are Europe's contribution to the giant 66-antenna array are being built using the same precise electroforming technology used for XMM-Newton.
The surface must not deviate by more than 25 microns from the ideal shape and by only eight microns for each of the 120 single panels that form each antenna. A human hair is at least 17 microns thick.
"When the discussion was raised on which technology to use for the ALMA telescopes we proposed to take advantage of our electroforming technology developed under contract with the Italian company Media Lario for our XMM X-ray telescope," said Kees van 't Klooster from ESA's antennas section.
"We could see that this production technology would provide a very good baseline, so we supported Media Lario in refining this electroforming technology to meet the specific requirements for ground-based millimetre and sub-millimetre wave radio telescopes."
"The panels developed by Media Lario Technologies were the only ones to fit the bill," added Mr Suita. Media Lario is now producing the panels under prime contractor Thales Alenia Space Italia for 25 radio-telescope antennas for ALMA.
To meet ALMA's stringent requirements, studies were performed under ESA's Technology Transfer Programme, with technical support from ESA's antenna engineers and the European Southern Observatory.
Radio astronomy found evidence for Big Bang
Radio astronomy is similar to optical astronomy but uses radio frequencies instead of visible light to detect astronomical objects. Beginning in the 1930s, radio astronomy has found many new stars and galaxies, as well as new objects such as quasars, pulsars and masers. The compelling evidence for the Big Bang theory was provided by radio astronomy.
When ALMA is completed in 2012 its amazing giant array of 66 high-precision antennas will make it the biggest radio telescope on Earth. It will help scientists to study stars, planetary systems and galaxies, and provide insight into star births when the Universe was young.
Media Lario's electroforming production technology was also selected for the 50 m-diameter single dish of the impressive Large Millimeter Telescope now under construction on the summit of the Sierra Negra, at an altitude of 4600 m in Mexico.
Space spurs leading-edge technology developments
The electroforming replication technology developed to produce the exceptional mirrors for XMM-Newton, has led to breakthrough technological advances in several non-space fields. The same space production technology is being used to make smaller, faster and cheaper microchips. (ref: article in link list)
When selected by ESA to produce the mirrors for the XMM-Newton, Media Lario were already known for their ability to realise highly accurate electroformed mirror assemblies. Following the delivery of the mirrors and the stunning X-ray images of our Universe from the space telescope, Media Lario's replication technology has been recognised worldwide.
"The replica technique is extremely interesting when identical highly accurate panels or mirrors are to be produced, such as those required for large-diameter and highly accurate antennas and telescopes," explained Giovanni Nocerino, Media Lario Technologies President and CEO.
"A circular symmetric main reflector can be realised by a set of rings with a number of identical panels in each ring. The advantage is even greater when many equal antennas are needed, as in the case of ALMA."
"The key aspects of the ESO-ALMA antenna are the innovative design and technologies applied for the production of the different subsystems to achieve the state-of-the-art requirement of the project," explained Stefano Stanghellini, ESO ALMA Antenna Project Manager.
"The panels produced by Media Lario Technologies are an additional new design feature of the European contribution to the ALMA array."
"We have installed, recently, the first six antennas with our prime contractor Thales Alenia Space Italia in Chile, of which the first two will go through acceptance testing until February 2011. The rest of the antennas will then be installed in the course of 2011 and 2012," added Dr Nocerino.
"This transfer of technology is an excellent example of the potential in non-space fields of our developments for space exploration," emphasized ESA's Mr van 't Klooster.

The band blends traditional bluegrass sounds with catchy melodies and more progressive folk and country hooks.
BRISTOL, R.I. — On their official music video, "Come to Me," the members of Chasing Blue wear perpetual smiles, accompanying the uptempo, string-oriented music that resonates from this Berklee College quintet.
Those who attend their Feb. 22 concert at Bristol's Stone Church Coffeehouse will also likely be wearing the same smiles.
Coffeehouse owner Roger Dubord couldn't say enough about this up-and-coming act, which blends traditional bluegrass sounds with catchy melodies and more progressive folk and country hooks.
"Original material holds true to the bluegrass tradition but strong lyrical ideas and progressive musical ideas make the Chasing Blue sound," according to a written release.
Chasing Blue released their first full length album, "Low Valley," in November 2012 and it has received many positive reviews, the release adds.
Dubord noted that the act formed in 2008 at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. He also noted that to get accepted into the college, a student must showcase some unique musical talents. The fact that all band members attend the schools serves as evidence of the group's quality.
Dubord said he is not only impressed with their musical resume, but he was captivated by some of their performances, which he has viewed online.
He said Chasing Blue serves as a reminder of the unknown talent in this area.
The band features Nova Scotian native Maggie MacKay on banjo, who was the first female principle banjo player to graduate from Berklee College of Music with a degree in professional music.
It also features the lovely twang of Texas native Suzanne Oleson, who plays mandolin. She currently attends Berklee and is majoring in professional music.
It also features Mike Reese on guitar and vocals. Reese grew up in Ohio listening to bluegrass. At 14, he was accepted into a prestigious musical high school.
On bass is the sole New England native Alex Muri, who grew up in Sudbury and began studying bass and classical music at the age of six. He is the principal bassist in the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra.
The newest member of the band is fiddle player Danny Musher, of Maryland, who began playing music when he was four.
Band spokesperson MacKay said the band has performed in Providence before but is not sure if they have played in Bristol. So far, though, she is impressed with the area and its people.
"I like it. It is right by the water and all the folks I have met down there are awesome," she said, describing the area as having a "cool vibe."
MacKay said they will be treated to new songs from the band's upcoming EP and full-length album, along with older songs and traditional bluegrass tunes.
She admit that the audience might end up being guinea pigs of sorts, as the band tries out the new songs, but the audience might not mind it so much.
The Stone Church Coffeehouse is in its seventh year, hosting a concert once a month from September to May, taking a break in December.
Dubord says that the concerts reflect the traditions of country, Celtic, folk and bluegrass music.
Doors for the Feb. 22 Chasing Blue show open at 6:45 p.m, and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the door. Light refreshments will be available for purchase. Tickets are $15 per adult; students are half price; children 5 and under are free. For ticket information or to purchase tickets in advance, call 401-253-4813 or 401-253-7288.

The Tech Fixes the PS3 Still Needs, Eight Years On 99
An anonymous reader writes "The PlayStation 4 has well and truly arrived, but Sony's still selling its last-gen console by the pallet-load, eight years after first going on sale. Of course, as a new article points out, that's nothing compared to the PS2's astonishing 13 year manufacturing run. To help achieve that, the author outlines some tech fixes the PS3 could still do with, even after all this time, from tighter PS Vita integration, to yes, cross game chat. Can it make it past a decade, too?"

I guarantee it.

You mean by doing what BES has done for more than a decade now?
If the market didnt give a crap about Blackberry / the protections it offers, what are the chances this will succeed?
You're misunderstanding the purpose of the technology, I think.
The government can use MIB on the rooftops with parabolics, this phone doesn't and can't protect you from their minions.
"Evil people" avoid detection by using disposable phones and in-group jargon to avoid detection - they simply don't need or want this technology. They already buy cheaper, low profile generic phones with cash and just throw them away if they get known.

An interesting choice. I guess it is only logical, since Zimmerman had to shut down his encrypted e-mail service SilentCircle [slashdot.org] in the US. I hope that more businesses will move their operations outside the US, it seems to be the only language the United States government understands.
When did George Zimmerman have that? and why did nobody talk about mister stand your ground being a computer wiz in the news?
Hardware feature I would like to see:
-LED on when camera is taking pictures/recording.
-LED on when microphone is recording.
-Looking like a normal phone, If it screams PRIVACY phone, one might think ik have somthing to hide.
Software features:
-Restrict apps to a sandbox without telling them that. (feed apps fake data instead)
-Some kind of firewall/virtualiszation between apps i use at home and work and real private part.
-Secure boot. rootkit prevention. Including option by bypass the secure boot for open source mods.
Marketing features i would like to see:
-Real use cases. (like work/home phone virtualisation.)
-privacy is always a tradeoff. being online means giving away some of your data. what trade offs are made?
-Access to some more technical details HOW the pricay part is implemented and what has not been implemented.
-Respected names from the pricacy industy who did have to do something in the design/implementation phase. trust is important.
> -LED on when camera is taking pictures/recording.
> -LED on when microphone is recording.
No, no, no. What you want is a mechanical shutter over the camera, and a switch that physically opens the microphone's circuit (if you want convenience, make the microphone's switch be the camera's shutter).
With an LED, you have to trust the firmware to properly couple the light to the device. With a mechanical shutter, you can verify that it is physically impossible for the camera to see anything.

You don't need to trust the LED to firmware -- instead of a physical switch that turns the camera or microphone on, use a software controlled switch with only 2 hardware states - if the software turns the switch on, microphone+LED (or camera+LED) are enabled, if the software turns the switch off, then they are not enabled. The camera could have a software controlled physical Iris that closes when the camera is off.
Don't let the software control the LED separately.
This is still open to hardware hacks (someon
This is still open to hardware hacks (someone with access to the phone could hardwire the microphone on without the LED illuminating), but the same is true with a physical switch.
And, as GP stated, a physical shutter is not open to the same kind of trickery. You'd need to come up with something that looks like an opaque shutter, but actually doesn't block the camera's view. This is still possible, but it's not as trivial as putting a jumper across an LED's legs (or bridging a physical switch).
On the other hand, it's harder to "shutter" a microphone.
The camera and mic need power right? Couldn't you just wire an LED in the same circuit that powers the camera or mic? Sending power to one of them would kick the LED on.

I think the problem with that is that camera only needs to be powered on for a fraction of a second to snap a photo, perhaps short enough that no one would notice the LED flashing on.
Though I guess the hardware circuit that powers the camera could ensure that the LED stays on for several seconds (or minutes) before and after the camera itself gets power - and could even emit an alert sound when the camera is enabled.
-Looking like a normal phone, If it screams PRIVACY phone, one might think ik have somthing to hide.
From the picture on the website, it looks rather like an iPhone (without the button).
When the phone is in your pocket, they all look alike to everyone else, anyway.
You forgot the most important feature:
The main SoC controls the baseband processor (and can firewall the rest of the system off from it), not the other way around. Or better yet, the baseband is Open Source.
I thought the most important thing would be that it's actually launched, and not promiseware.
Read about the features of GSM modules, with respect to being able to poll towers, access GPS, etc., while the phone is supposedly turned off. This is a prerequisite for achieving their stated goals.
That is the one feature that would set it apart from any phone running an open source mod (Android Replicant comes to mind) with a couple privacy apps on top. Like a sip client with encryption on. And therefore pretty much the only good selling point.
I wonder if it will only be a firewall, or if someone finally manages to really open source the baseband. Though I doubt it. As far as I understand even the OpenMoko stuff has closed source binary blobs for the baseband, though they have sufficient barriers bet
if someone can hack your phone to turn the camera on, they can also turn the LED off
This is not necessarily true if you design this feature into the board. For instance, you can have the LED hard-wired to the camera's power supply - anytime the camera has power, the LED will be on. When the firmware wants to save power by turning the camera off, it must well and truly be off (i.e., no power applied), and not just a sleep mode.
Alternately, depending on the communications bus between the camera chip and the SoC, you can have an LED tied to one of the communications lines through some sort of buffer circuit - chip select, camera Tx, etc.
One would think that this was the way it was always done - some unambiguous way to know when the camera is active that was baked in at the board level - but apparently not.
I'm amazed at how consistently
It could be, but it isn't if you want to use the LED as a flashlight without the camera being on. I'd prefer them to be separate with a physical shutter, personally, but then again I have brain dammage.
Uh, the LED would be there as a *security* feature, not sneaking in as a friggin' flashlight. Who would want such a bright status light anyway?
Shutters don't stop microphones from listening. Even on cameras, they can't inform you that something is not acting as it should. Finally, they add bulk and breakable moving parts to the device.
Uh, the LED would be there as a *security* feature, not sneaking in as a friggin' flashlight.
I was referring to the LED that already exists next to the camera, which is used as a flash for taking pictures and as a separate flashlight. I was not assuming an additional LED of much lower brightness put next to that one.
Shutters don't stop microphones from listening.
LEDs on microphones don't stop them from listening either though, do they? And unless you're always looking at your phone, 24/7, it's not really a solution. When your phone is in your pocket, purse, etc or when you're sleeping, in another room etc the LED being on wouldn't be of much u
I'm amazed at how consistently
It could very well be hardwired to the component it monitors, but then if that component has firmware or driver that gets hacked, it might not do you much good.
Just Wow... it really is like brain damage.
This is not the main reason why it should be open source, nor is "open source" enough, unless we are using a definition compatible with the free software definition. In fact, both hardware and software should be free, documented, and open in order to justify the basic security and privacy claims the manufacturer is making.
As for "open source", the freedom to distribute modified copies (which is not clearly implied) is paramount to anything aspiring to be secure. If a bug is discovered, and a patch is avai
Fully open source software would be a good *start*. It reduces the number of private parties you are forced to trust down to the hardware OEMs... and with clever enough architecture you can even keep hostile components at bay if your core processor is trusted.
But, eventually, the open source dynamic must be expressed in the hardware in order for multifarious communities of experts and users to develop a genuine trust relationship a smartphone, PC, etc. After 2013, there is no turning back from that eventual
Just to clarify: Hardwire LEDs to the mic and camera. Leaving the LED activation to firmware is asking for an exploit.
These are good ideas. However they are kind of obvious and their total absence on phones and PCs shows that major IT vendors don't have designers involved in security at all. That vacuum and lack of involvement is astonishing.
BTW, if you want some of those other features in a PC, check out Qubes OS. [qubes-os.org] Its a Xen-based desktop with great virtualization and boot protection features; its (much) mo
Guess it's a matter of "know your audience."
But I never once thought of Bob Dylan.
I do agree that the problem of knowing who to trust is very serious. Large organizations (like the NSA) have the ability to make lots of posts in online discussions, technical journals, etc. to give the impression that the "community" "trusts" some particular solution, and to discredit anyone who objects.
I don't think though that the only answer is to eliminate these organizations - which is probably impossible in any case. At least in the US, the government is not a single monolithic organization, and shou
...their "The team" page doesn't mention a single software or hardware developer involved in creating the phone. Why aren't they worth to be on display along with the CEOs and whatnot?
Why do you think they've already hired a team to develop their vaporware phone?
Even if the phone is as secure as claimed, one of the biggest violations of privacy is the collection of location data. And no security feature on the device will prevent Verizon/AT&T/etc from knowing what tower it has contacted, or providing that to any agency it wishes to.

Obviously, you can't expect your location to remain anonymous while you're talking on the phone, but you can trust that when you turn off the Cellular radio, that it really is off and you're not being tracked when you drive to your mistresses house. Once you get there, you can use her Wifi to check for voicemails/txt's and still remain anonymous.
Yes, obviously. It can be surmised from the title of my post that the problem isn't the telco knowing where you're connecting, but that they're perfectly happy to collect and turn over that information to government agencies without a proper warrant.
I don't see any reason you couldn't route a call through Tor to hide your location. Of course, it's seeming more and more likely that parts of Tor have been compromised, so maybe that won't help all that much.
Layer one and two are the problem. Tor helps with layer 3 and 4. Your cell phone radio (layer one) has to give identifying information to the cell tower so the cell tower can authenticate it and link it to the network (layer 2). This is done continuously while the cell radio in the phone is on through the command channel. It's constantly checking in with all the cell towers within range so it can be determined which cell is the best for data connections and handing off to the optimal tower. So regardless of
I think Tor is TCP only, so SIP is pretty much out of the question. Asterisk could work with IAX, Skype might work too.
Latency will be an issue. If it remains consistent thought you can get away with over 1 second of latency on a voice call - not much different than a call routed via satellite.
If latency fluctuates widely then jitter may become a problem. You'd need to compensate for that too. Jitter and high overall latency don't make for a good calling experience. I could see latency going above 2 seconds
You would probably want I2P instead of Tor (which was built only for browsing over TCP). I2P handles UDP-like traffic just fine, and is more resistant to compromise because its designed to safely distribute re/routing among all users. Its also pretty easy to adjust the number of relay hops, like trading anonymity/latency on a sliding scale.
I posted these same thoughts last time I saw a "secure" phone on slashdot. Apparently it was long enough ago that it's no longer in my post history?
Regardless, there are two options I am aware of: 1) end to end encryption or 2) insecure messages/communication
The problem with #1 is that it requires secure devices on BOTH ENDS of the communication. You get very little bonus security if your device is secure, but the text messages, emails, phone calles etc. go unencrypted over the wire. That's fine, but now I
Why is that such a big deal? People already install apps and buy gadgets so they can interact with people they know in a specific digital domain.
And I'm sure the blackphone will tell you when the party on the other end is using secure protocols.
On the black phone, where did the PRNG come from?
Does this device provide any protection against location tracking?
Does this device provide any protection against location tracking?
Unless they establish their own cellular radio network that's not possible. The phone still requires a layer one and two connection which are provided the the cellular company.
While I'm all for privacy and the government sticking it's nose out of my business I don't see how this phone really addresses the problem of privacy. The huge problem lately has been the governments sweeping up the meta data. So while your message may go through the system encrypted with this phone it's still going to leave a plain trail for everyone to see.
And placing the servers in Switzerland doesn't fill me with confidence for keeping the data safe either.

They only caved when it was shown that Swiss bankers were actively helping their clients to avoid taxes and break (inter)national laws.
But more interestingly, the nature of their caving varies from country to country.
The banks agreed to remit taxes for UK-based account holders, but without disclosing the account holder's identity.

They have to have an indicator somewhere saying they have not allowed any government access. Since it's their phones, maybe broadcast the fact of no-contact every day to all phones, and have the phones alert when they haven't received the notice.
Also, may want to to hash the binaries at their web site and make it available as a web service, and have a program to hash binaries for that version on the phone and check online. Make it SSL with certificates to avoid spoofing. This way, people can know if their individual phones may have been compromised.

Which by changing the status of it shows that they have had government access and then someone gets into trouble with the government.

Of course, this was after I had reminded participants to include a link-back to Herbwifery. !
The gall I tell you.
I'm so sorry!!
I added it to the original post, but since people may not return there after reading the first time ... I'm re-posting it here to give more folks a chance to indulge in reading and to redeem myself as blog-party hostess.

In a response to a series of scandals that have diminished public confidence in the justice system, the state Supreme Court last week announced sound new ethics rules.
In apparent response to Justice Seamus McCaffrey's wife and chief of staff, Lise Rapaport, receiving referral fees, for example, the new rules forbid any court employee from accepting such fees from law firms.
And, in response to former Justice Joan Orie Melvin's conviction for misusing her publicly paid staff, the rules draw an even brighter line between public employment and politics and bar judges from hiring relatives.
The new rules also preclude judges from sitting on corporate boards of directors and mandate recusal in cases where litigants or lawyers have contributed heavily to the presiding judge's election campaign. Ideally, that will be a precursor to merit selection of appellate judges.
Less noticed among the new rules was a major change that could help to vastly increase public understanding of the court system. Rule 1910 opens the courts to televised proceedings.
There are many restrictions, yet the rule is major progress over the current ban on camera access except in very rare circumstances.
Rule 1910 allows televised proceedings only in civil nonjury proceedings other than those in Family Court, and only at the discretion of the presiding judge. Such proceedings could include, for example, hearings on whether Scranton should be allowed to adopt a commuter tax, whether municipal governments should be allowed to exceed state tax millage limits and other matters of great public interest, such as zoning appeals and so on.
An even greater value to the rule is as a foot in the door. It should be the first incremental step to live coverage of most court proceedings, including criminal trials.
The experience in a host of other jurisdictions shows that the technology has become unobtrusive, and that television coverage helps to educate the public about the least visible branch of government.
Judges throughout the region should embrace the new rule and ensure that it leads to even further openness.

Anybody know what these Altec consumer transducers are?
One's a 12-in, the other a "6-1/2 in frame" (clever size reference, eh?) mid-range. The only markings are "7 76".
I need part numbers and surround kits for each.

"Indeed, not!!"
Don McRitchie
IIRC, the surround that fits a McIntosh ML2 12" woofer (the big-roll with flat internal lip) will fit fine on this Altec 12. It may require deleting the carboard gasket, but the increased roll size certainly won't hurt. If you want to retain the gasket, a standard 12" flat-internal-edge surround (make sure it's as SOFT and LIMBER as possible, to avoid making the bass boomy, which can happen with excessively stiff surrounds in these), should fit fine. BTW, I probably have both options in stock at work... if you want, you can get hold of us: www.audioatlanta.com
As for the midrange: believe it or not, I can concretely say, that the replacement surround for a Bose 901 driver (series 3 and up, ie, newer models) is an EXACT fit for the Altec mid. I've DONE two of these recently, with these exact surrounds, and it was a dead-on fit...
Be careful (heck, be paranoid) about NOT accidentally creasing or bending the cones on those mids. That crazy parabolic profile on that insanely thin paper stock, is REALLY easy to damage. If you somehow do manage to crease one of them, take some white glue, thin it with a little water, and soak that into the crease... this will generally reinforce the driver cone well enough that it will sound fine again...
Interesting how your model 9s have stamped-frame woofers... all the other ones I've seen, have had cast baskets. Must be a year model change somewhere... as the rest of the moving assembly (cone, etc) looks identical, otherwise...
Oh, BTW: this is one woofer, that I DEFINITELY recommend removing the dustcap and shimming the voice coil on, when you re-foam the driver. I've sucessfully done JBL LE10s, 127H's and such fine, without removing the caps... but the VC clearance on the last Altec Model 9 woofer I did, was SO tight, that there was virtually no way to get it straight enough to do full-travel without scraping, winging it by feel without removing the dustcaps. A bit of a pain, but if you're careful about peeling it off (score around it VERY LIGHTLY with an Exacto, and lift), you can most oftentimes just re-attach the same dustcap, right back in the original position, with white glue, good as new...
Thanks, Don! I had overlooked that reference sheet. Say, BTW, Page 3 is missing (there's two Page 2's). Just "fyi"...
Hey, GordonW...
So, what'd you use for a shim - or would you let me borrow yours...?this is one woofer, that I DEFINITELY recommend ... shimming the voice coil on ... the VC clearance on the last Altec Model 9 woofer I did, was SO tight, that there was virtually no way to get it straight
Thanks for the help!
"Indeed, not!!"
...and do I really want to resurround it?
Anybody got T-S parameters for these (dreaded/orphaned) consumer components? GordonW?
The boys need a cabinet upgrade (and they're not yet ready for anything LARGE...), so I'm planning to refit the Model Nine cabinets with LE14A's, LE5-9's and either 2402's or 2405's, N65 network.
Oh - here's the dimensions:
- cabinet (exterior): 686 x 445 x 308 mm
- port (interior): 146 mm length x 75 mm diam.
Opinions? Worth the baffle work?
Here's the LE14A in the Model Nine cabinet - I've not yet modelled the N65...

"Indeed, not!!"
Actually, that Altec woofer isn't bad at all. It'll probably move more air in the bottom end (as well as go lower) than the LE14, most likely. While it's probably not as "fast" as the LE14, it's overall, a well-behaved woofer.
As for shims- I've used photo film, transparency sheet plastic, anything hard plastic sheet, as shims. I tend to use a "continuous" shim, where I simply fit a roll of something all the way around the gap. Best way to avoid warping a VC...
If you need to fit a size, taking something like the plastic film that some of the school report covers is made of, and rolling it up with a couple layers or so, should allow you to "sneak up" on the right thickness. Worked well for me before.
As for the mids- can't really make that decision for you. IME, they're not bad sounding, but something like an LE5 is better built, from a cone integrity standpoint, and should give less distortion.
As for tweeters: there's no question, the 2405 will KILL the Altec cone tweeter. Heck, an LE25 would probably be a slight improvement. Definitely the weak link of the system, IMHO...
I have used, exposed and developed old x-ray film, shimming all around; One plate will give You a lot of shims.
Hey, GordonW...
Any chance you've got T-S param's on that Altec woofer? No one here has challenged your assertion , and it's got my attention, at least because the LE14A's I was planning to use would likely move easier on eBay....that Altec woofer isn't bad at all. It'll probably move more air in the bottom end (as well as go lower) than the LE14, most likely.
"Indeed, not!!"
I haven't had one of the stamped-basket versions in hand, so take my comments with the requisite grain of salt, as compared to the cast version I've worked with.
That being said, the cast-basket woofers, have had a theoretical X-max (excursion capacity) of about 7mm each way. The voice coil is between 1/4" and 5/16" longer than the top plate, in each direction, when the VC is at rest position. AFAIK, that's significantly higher than the LE14, which IIRC, has an Xmax of about 4 mm or so.
Otherwise, sorry, I've never measured them for T/S parameters. I would make the assumption, though, that the Altec box should be pretty close (they usually are), with the only mods I might do, being possibly adding a bit more fiberglass stuffing/wall lining material, and possibly adjusting the port (I might try a bit longer, for a lower tuning frequency, to "smooth out" the bass, but that's just my taste, primarily)...
Hey, GordonW...
So, I'm guessing you're in-the-market for some LE14A's eh...?
Only kidding...
These Altec LF's "look" like their cheapest manufacturing, so I held little/no expectations for their competitiveness. I remember - back in the day - when I bought these Model Nine's new, I was most pleased and always of "crowded house". But, that was oh- so-long ago. At least two wives, four bands and equal number of fine dogs ago...
Interesting comment on the port - the few runs I've done suggest it is, in-fact, a bit short, for most possible LF injections. Odd.
With your experience on this vintage Altec consumer LF's, is it likely these are lesser than the cast frame version you've worked on? If not, I may forgo the planned LE14A infusion...
Thanks, for the input!
"Indeed, not!!"
Hey Bo
For what its worth give the Le-14A's a try. Obviously they can't come close to the 2245's in your 4345's or 2235's but they will surprise you. MDF is cheap drop them in 4cu.Ft and give them a listen as subs. Don't know how big your room is size wise or the intended application but I have yet to find something a pair of them can't keep up with. Beat the living daylights out of my 12" AR sub. Not that that the 12 is anything great mind you. I have a 3rd I will eventually use to replace the 12' LFE Sub. I have used them under 100dB 4655's and am using them under E145's now. Not bad at all just try one before you E-Bay them. You might like them.
Hey, Rob...
Thanks! I'm inclined that way too, not in any small way due to the lauds the LE14A transducer has received from an erudite protagonist here who's preferences I greatly respect. Plus, I'd like to work the baffle anew - you know, get the router real involved. If nothing else, it will be unique, and me and the boys will have built it. But, we'll see about that...
I am surprised the Altec LF would even compete! GordonW's experience has been real helpful. But, without T-S params, I may just have to wing it!
I will not use the LE14A's anywhere near the 4345's - that'd be silly, and a waste of the LE14A's. The 2245H's simply got it covered. Whoa...
"Indeed, not!!"
Hey, Gordon W...
I was re-reading your generous replies (thanks ), and wondered if you've run across this:
The mids have a hole through the pole piece, which (naturally...) connects through to the back of the dome. Maybe some early attempt at cooling venting - Ha!), but Altec covered this dang hole with a crummy little plastic disc glued to the back of the motor. Well, years ago, that glue dried out and the disk fell off, and rattled around in the cabinet. The mid is not in a acoustic isolation chamber, so that hole would allow cabinet pressure to react with the MF dome/cone. Dumber than dumb, cheaper than cheap.
Seen this?
"Indeed, not!!"
That little disk, is just to seal up the back chamber through the magnet, which is there to relieve the spring force behind the dustcap. Note that the dustcap is VERY thin on these- without the back chamber in the pole piece, you'd probably see dustcap cave-in on large transients.
I'd just glue the plastic disk back on; if you lost it, just glue the lid from a small pill bottle over the hole (anything approximately the same internal air volume inside. Just make sure that it's sealed... I've actually glued small plastic rigid dustcaps over the hole, and it worked fine, on a pair I had here to rebuild...
Oh, BTW: Bo, I'm checking on the 901 surround for you...

Modified Mustangs & FordsEvents
Ford Racing Mustang Challenge - Heating Up At Mid-Ohio
Ford Racing Mustang Challenge For The Miller Cup
Hot on the heels of the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup's race at Mosport was the series' third round at Mid-Ohio. As opposed to Mosport's flowing layout, Mid-Ohio's technical course packs 13 turns into 2 1/4 miles. This makes Mid-Ohio a favorite for both fans and drivers. When filled with more than 20 Mustang Challenge cars, the action was, to put it mildly, exciting.
Since Mid-Ohio has hosted the SCCA national championships for over a decade, many competitors were very familiar with the track and were hoping their expertise would put them at the top of the timesheets. However, Andrew Caddell again showed his dominance by besting all comers in every test and practice session. Even racing legend Derek Daly and his 16-year-old son, Conor, got in on the action as the two took turns behind the wheel of the No. 00 FR500S Thursday afternoon.
But Caddell's impressive performance wasn't the only talk of the paddock-the crumpled cars returning on rollbacks to the paddock had everyone concerned. It seemed that Mid-Ohio's challenging layout was giving the FR500S's Brembos quite a workout. Mid-Ohio's short straights between turns didn't allow enough time for the heavy Mustang's brakes to cool off between braking zones. Mid-Ohio's tire barriers stopped a number of racers instead of their brakes. Pratt Cole, currently running Second in points, rolled his No. 61 Mustang during Thursday's second test session. Fortunately, only his car was seriously hurt.
Realizing that some cars were having an issue, the Ford Racing and Mustang Challenge officials promptly investigated the situation and devised a solution. Racers were advised to replace their brake pads if they had less than 50 percent of their original thickness. The thicker pads helped to insulate the caliper pistons and keep the brake fluid below its boiling point. This solution greatly reduced the braking problems encountered during the remainder of the weekend.
Joe Lee Middlebrooks in the No. 25 machine also suffered substantial damage during Thursday's testing, but after a heroic effort by his team (and a very late night), his FR500S was back in action for practice on Friday. Qualifying followed on Saturday and was sure to be fast and furious. Mustang Challenge newbie Gene Martindale was Sixth quickest early in the session before stuffing the Rehagen Racing No. 14 Mustang into the tires. That contact ended his weekend and cut the qualifying session short.
Jamie Slone raised some eyebrows by setting the fastest time in qualifying, earning the pole for the afternoon's race. Ever-quick Andrew Caddell was to start outside of Slone. Tony Buffomante and Ricky Ehrgott filled in the second row. Since Pratt Cole's mount was a write-off after Thursday's crash, the "loaner" No. 00 FR500C served him well as he ended up Fifth quickest.
As the minutes to the green flag counted down, fans began to fill the grandstands and hillsides surrounding the course. At the start, Jamie Slone successfully held off Andrew Caddell through the critical first few turns and never looked back. A late race caution erased a two-second lead for Slone, but Caddell failed to capitalize when racing resumed.
It was the first win for Slone, and he was elated to be standing on the top tier of the podium for the first time in his professional career. Caddell finished a close Second and added to his points tally to maintain the championship lead. Tony Buffomante rounded out the Top 3 in his second podium in two races.
After two back-to-back weekends, the Mustang Challenge takes a month off before heading down to Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama. Birmingham in late July is guaranteed to be steamy, and the intense Mustang Challenge competition will make it doubly hot.

Another round of the Barclays Premier League matches was served up this weekend and in typical fashion, there was some surprising results.
Title hopefuls Chelsea slumped into a shock defeat at struggling Newcastle while there was a cricket score for a Norwich City side that is looking ever more like relegation candidates.
Manchester United have attained some much needed momentum while Arsenal once again underlined their title credentials with clinical victory over early pace setters Liverpool. This is your weekly SCORECARD.
The Blues travelled to the Sports Direct on the back of two big wins against City and Arsenal and were starting to look like formidable opposition for everyone really. Mourinho had looked to finally be getting the best out of Torres and restored the Spaniard to the starting line up together with Juan Mata after his fantastic strike against Arsenal.
Newcastle on the other hand, had lost twice in three days, to Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby and to City in extra-time in the League Cup after putting in a spirited display.
Alan Pardew called upon his side to build up on that display in mid-week and put in another performance against Jose Mourinho's men. They did just that.
Newcastle were stubborn and organised. They defended with ten men behind the ball and looked to break quickly and launch long balls forward to Ameobi and Loic Remy. Chelsea dominated possession but could not create much in the opening period. Mata, Eden Hazard and Oscar were stifled of space and time as Newcastle defended resolutely.
The passionate home support rallied their team on and they took the lead deservedly after Yoan Cabaye's absolutely glorious free-kick was headed in by Gouffran. The Toon faithful went into delirium. They started to believe and more importantly, the players started to as well after Remy and Ameobi missed chances to add to the score.
Mourinho responded by taking off the ineffective Fernando Torres and Adnre Schurrle for Willian and Samuel Eto'o. Chelsea were sparked into life and they forced Tim Krul into a number of saves from Hazard and Eto'o.
Both Willian and Eto'o saw their efforts blocked while Hazard shot narrowly wide from inside the box as Newcastle hanged on. John Terry had earlier hit the bar and had another effort cleared off the line and it increasingly looked like it was not going to be Chelsea's day, and so it proved.
Loic Remy scored the goal that he and his team richly deserved late in the second half when Anita did well to beat Luiz and Ivanovic to square the ball to the Frenchman who hit it first-time past Petr Cech and into the et to continue his brilliant form for the Toon. Game over for Chelsea. They face a tricky West Brom next and Jose will look to bounce back after saying his team made 'eleven mistakes'.
Chelsea grade : C
Arsenal & Liverpool
The top of the table clash played out at the Emirates as the Gunners hosted Liverpool in the feature game of the weekend.
The hosts had come off a difficult week, losing to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and Chelsea in the Capital One Cup in successive home games. November was set to be a trying time for them with fixtures against Liverpool, United (either side of a crucial trip to Germany for the return leg against Dortmund), and a tricky Southampton.
Arsenal had already come up short in two of those fixtures, will Liverpool
prove to be the third?
The Reds have been scintillating for most of the season and were coming into this game on the back of a 4-1 rout of troublesome West Bromwich.
Luis Suarez struck a wonderful hat-trick and his strike partner, Daniel Sturridge added gloss with a delightful chip later in the game. The 'SAS' had sent out
the perfect warning shot. At the Emirates though, there was to be no repeat of
that performance. Arsenal was in no mood to be 'SAS'-ed.
The Gunners had a much better record than Liverpool in recent years having won eight more times than their rivals and as soon as they scored, that statistic always looked likely to be increased.
Arsenal begun the match with more purpose and a higher tempo as they dominated possession and took the game to their opponents. Brendan Rodgers stuck to his 3-5-2 formation with Henderson playing off the front two but it did not seem to help things defensively or offensively.
Liverpool were all over the place. Cissokho on the left had a torrid opening 45 minutes and was at fault for Arsenal's opening goal. The absence of a full-back allowed Bacary Sagna to roam free and cross invitingly for Cazorla to head onto the woodwork before firing home the rebound.
First blood went to Arsenal and from that point it looked like Liverpool were ripe and ready for picking.
They did have their moments but they were few and far between. Liverpool lacked cohesiveness and fluidity. Surprise starter Joe Flanagan looked like he found the Emirates too imposing for him and did little to influence proceedings.
Gerrard and Lucas were constantly left isolated against the trio of Mesut Ozil, Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and occasionally Ramsey. Arsenal could have added to that tally before Ramsey's screamer but Giroud and Ozil were guilty of wastefulness. Suarez struck the post and opted to go alone rather than square to Sturridge in the dying embers of the match but the fat lady had already started singing much earlier. Liverpool came up short against Arsenal again while the Gunners' fans can now start to believe.
If they get a result at Old Trafford next Sunday, even the most skeptical of fans and
observers will have to jump on the Gooner gravy train.
Arsenal grade: A Liverpool grade: C
Manchester United
David Moyes' men were on a six game unbeaten run in all competitions and travelled to a Fulham side that had not beaten them in six meetings. Fulham last won in December 2009 when they ran rampant over a depleted United side 3-0.
Moyes had rallied his troops to maintain some much needed consistency by
going on a winning run and they responded in emphatic fashion. United scored
three times in a span of eighteen minutes and ended the half 3-0 up. Fulham had
been bamboozled by the pace, movement and clinical finishing of United's front
three of Januzaj, Rooney and van Persie. Moyes' words had been well received.
Three enforced substitutions robbed United of some of their first-half spark and rhythm after Rafael, Jonny Evans and Tom Cleverley were all withdrawn at half-time for Chris Smalling, Shinji Kagawa and Marouane Fellaini.
Fulham played better in the second period, got a goal back and missed some chances of their own but United ran out worthy winners in the end. It was a gritty performance in the second period with a couple of worrying defensive moments but United got the job done and that will please their manager and fans. Arsenal is up next for United in what promises to be a cracker. Roll on Sunday.
Manchester United grade: B+
Manchester City
The Sky Blues had a somewhat bittersweet week, what with the painful last-gasp defeat at Chelsea followed by a hard-fought, extra-time victory over a battling Newcastle in the Capital One Cup.
Manuel Pellegrini decided to drop Joe Hart for both fixtures after his howler at the Bridge and especially after Costel Pantimilimon's clean-sheet performance against Newcastle.
The Romanian pulled off a string of impressive saves to thwart Ameobi and Cisse
and retained his place for the visit of Norwich.
The Canaries on the other hand have had a disastrous campaign by all accounts this season. They conceded four goals against Arsenal in the league and United in their mid-week Capital One Cup clash and are languishing perilously in the relegation zone.
Their manager knew they would be in for a tough time at Eastlands in his pre-match press conference and he could not have been more accurate.
City ran riot and absolutely tore apart the Canaries from the first whistle. A Bradley Johnson own goal set the ball rolling before further first half efforts from David Silva, Matija Nastasic and Alvaro Negredo put the hosts firmly in control.
Yaya Toure, Aguero and Dzeko added to the score-line and maintained this fixture's goal-rich reputation, with 25 goals having been scored in the previous four meetings.
City have bounced back well after the set-back at the Bridge and with two clean-sheets fro two games, Pellegrini's men will look to gather some momentum.
Norwich have a lot of work to do and their manager is rumoured to be close to losing his job. Their defending has been shocking and van Wolfswinkel has not yet caught fire as they would have hoped. It may well be a long season for the Canaries.
Manchester City grade: A
Everton & Tottenham
Goodison Park played host to two Champions League hopefuls (at the very least with all due respect), when Spurs travelled to Merseyside.
The visitors, who have not won away against Everton since 2007, controlled the
first half but could not make their chances count. The opposite was true in the second period, however, as Everton cranked up the pressure and were on top of
proceedings for much of that half without really troubling Hugo Lloris in Tottenham's goal.
It was as much a midfield battle as much as anything else really, with both strikers isolated for much of the match.
Tottenham and Everton played with five in the middle resulting in Soldado and Lukaku being starved of any meaningful service as both teams cancelled each other out.
There were penalty appeals from both sides that were waved away in an entertaining game that both sides will feel that they could have won. Ultimately both teams settled for a point with each side missing out on the opportunity to go second
in the League.
Everton grade: B Tottenham grade: B

CES Recap: Gadgets and Blisters 53
I was in Las Vegas last week to see the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. (Officially, it's the International Consumer Electronics Show, but no one calls it "ICES.") I've been to CES just a few times before, but usually as the finish line of a marathon drive from Seattle, rather than a plane flight from Tennessee as it was this time around. I've also never arrived with an armload of video equipment, which brings its own hassles. (Did you notice our videos?) Following are a few thoughts about the experience.
I started my trip with a friendly rubdown from a TSA functionary in Knoxville, whose carefully narrated prodding ("Now I'm going to be touching the inside of your waistband ...") failed to scan the recesses of my brain for what evil may there lurk, or take much notice of the should-be-suspicious bundle of batteries and radio-equipped mics in an evil-looking hard-shelled case that smells of gun oil, but did take a while to poke through ("check out") my bag of unremarkable clothing, paper, and sundries. It is a nice bag, after all, and one must have priorities: I could have had cupcakes.
Rooms are typically cheap in Vegas; the city is still America's gambling mecca, but gambling has become so widespread elsewhere that the draw is weaker -- and there are all those hotel rooms looking for occupants. But because CES is the biggest event of the year, even overbuilt Vegas fills up and prices are high that week. So I stayed at the Sin City Hostel, which has a friendly staff, an eclectic clientele (of young international travelers, mostly), and some of the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on. On the other hand, it was a thousand bucks cheaper than I was quoted for a room that week at a decent mid-range hotel on the strip, and I have a high tolerance for unusual accommodation. Unless you're actually going to CES, and would rather have a reasonable, luxurious room than a hammock-shaped lump of foam, any other week is probably a smarter time to visit.
Things to note about CES:
It's huge.
CES takes up not just an enormous convention center, but spills over into hotels both nearby and not-especially nearby. Just to touch every booth, suite, and temporary meeting corral would probably take a full-time effort for the whole run of the show, and it might not even be possible (that would make an interesting video game!), especially since some of the dealers are in town for CES, but not officially part of the show as exhibitors. When I met with Steven Isaac of TouchFire, for instance, it was in the lobby of an adjacent hotel. "Nearby" in this case still means a walk of 20 minutes or more just to cross the convention center grounds; it can take nearly that long, too, to walk entrance-to-wall in any of the several large halls at the convention center.
And you'd want to walk all the way back, too. The flashy kiosks operated by companies like Samsung, Nokia, and Motorola tend to be right near the front of the exhibit halls ("them as has, gets"), but back in the low(er) rent districts toward the back of each hall is where a lot of the most interesting stuff collects. Some of these booths might not be that interesting in themselves, but it's fascinating to see the modest public face of companies that sell the bits (LEDs, copper wire, blank circuit boards) and services (custom molding, circuit board layout, high-end fabric embroidery) that underlie even seemingly simple goods. This is also the place to find interesting devices like a ring-mounted mouse, helmet- and google-mounted video cameras in great profusion, and a wireless silicone keyboard cleverly molded to fold into what looks almost like a translucent billfold.
For pure technological art, it's hard to beat the industrial sculpture of the High End audio world. But the show is too big: I didn't get a chance this year to see the biggest trove of that, which is at the Venetian rather than the convention center. $50,000 speakers, and amplifiers in the same range, aren't in my budget (see above re. Sin City Hostel), but if you want to see where Monster Cable and Best Buy get their ideas of how to price electronics, it's enlightening to ogle some of the beautiful components and then their price tags.
It's not just electronics.
In fact, it's not just "consumer" electronics, either, as that term is generally used. No mistake, the consumer end of things isn't neglected: there are plenty of TVs (one of the crowd draws this year was LG's super-thin OLED panel (video), which I didn't have time to properly appreciate), plenty of computers and accessories, and a fair number of white goods -- stoves, refrigerators, and washing machines, all of which are ever more "electronics" in their own right. And Yes, there are shipping containers' worth of MP3 players, cameras of all descriptions, blinking and hovering toys for all ages, robots, headphones, cell phones from the mundane to the exotic, and stacks of tablets from familiar names as well as unknowns (most of them Android, and a surprising number running Android 4.0). But much of the stuff on offer is aimed squarely at institutional buyers or business users. Fancy your own collapsible walk-through metal-detector, or some high-end eye-tracking technology? A $1300 pointing device? (Or, arguably more consumer-friendly, a $900 skateboard perfect for getting around a factory floor?) This is the show for you.
And lots of the goods on display are meant for end-users, but aren't electronics themselves. There are easily thousands, probably tens of thousands, of phone cases, not to mention USB drive casings, computer bags, tripods for cameras, stands for tablets, and other accoutrements. (You can even buy the world's fanciest piece of string.) I overheard a confident claim that there were more than a hundred vendors selling computer bags; I don't doubt it, but I haven't tried to count, and it's probably a fool's errand: not every company's entry in the massive show directory gives much of a clue just what they sell.
Speaking of selling: show rules (and, I was later told, Nevada tax rules) prohibit sales of goods on the show floor itself, but they go on just the same, ranging from furtive (sideways glances and handshake-with-money) to blatant (large, handwritten sign: "Show special! $499!"). For vendors who've made the trip to CES to show off their wares to potential buyers from companies like Fry's and Best Buy as well as smaller dealers, the inventory they've brought as samples can drop in value as soon as that chance is gone; I ended up with a few iPhone 4 cases that the vendor was trying to foist on anyone not bold enough to refuse. (I don't own an iPhone, and have no plans to. Anyone want a few cases with geometric designs in red and grey?)
Besides vendors, there are organizations on hand, too. I ran short of time, or I would have have a chance to ask the folks at the EFF what a nice bunch like them was doing at a place like this.
It lasts too long.
There are a few days of special events prior to CES proper, and then four days of crowded show floor. By the end of the show, vendors are drooping in the most popular booths, and looking a bit forlorn in the lonelier ones. Elevator pitches are down to the length of a short escalator ride, and grazing show-goers are weighed down by their masses of brochures, business cards and tchotchkes. The hub-bub is impossible to avoid even on the last day, and the crowd is crushing. Even with shoes that seemed comfortable going in, I developed blisters to impress the Devil on three toes and both heels, wore out a few pens, and considered commandeering a massage chair for an hour to beat down the ache in my shoulder from hauling around my camera bag and bulky laptop.
It goes too fast.
Even though seeing it all is an impossible task, and even with inevitably sore feet, the lure of novelty is strong. I saw hundreds of exhibitors I would have liked to return to at least briefly. I had just a few minutes to play with the very attractive Mirasol screens at the Qualcomm booth, for instance (shown off in a handful of small tablets that they insist are "e-readers that play music, display video and can browse the web" rather than "tablets"), and missed out on the chance to see the new OLPC tablet.
Being a newbie with the video camera and operating without a trusty servant, I lost some time fumbling with mics, batteries, cables, and a small tripod that I bought mostly as a grip. (Why bother with external mics? Because the roar of the crowd is overwhelming to the camera's built-in mics, and only partly defeated with a shotgun mic mounted on the camera.) By the final day of the show, I had the routine down a little better, but still caught on tape — or rather, in flash memory — only a fraction of the things that caught my eye. I'm lucky that my video conspirator Roblimo has a knack for finding and assembling the most watchable bits. Good news, if hardly impressive these days: my laptop running Linux Mint had no complaints importing files from my Panasonic HD camera for sending off to him a few thousand miles away in Florida for editing.
I stayed two more nights, foam-hammock and all, sorting through marketing goo and enjoying the neon and buffet offerings along the Las Vegas strip. Because I lucked out and reached a line at the Las Vegas airport that lets the miscreants through easily (no puffer machine or full-body scanner to refuse), my trip home didn't even offer a rub-down, only the chance to catch up on a few hours of sleep.

Borussia Dortmund: Shinji Kagawa return does not mean Marco Reus exit
Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke says the club always left the door open for Shinji Kagawa, and added that the player's return from Manchester United is also a signal for Marco Reus to stay beyond the summer of 2015.
- Buczko: Kagawa completes return to Dortmund
- The Toe Poke: Klopp and Kagawa reunite
Three days on from the return of Dortmund's "prodigal son" -- which sent the region "KaGAGAwa" according to tabloid Bild on Tuesday -- the club is slowly returning to normality.
Kagawas erster Tag beim BVB fand im Kraftraum statt http://t.co/HjDF97xKEO pic.twitter.com/d9YMmBXIkl
- Borussia Dortmund (@BVB) September 1, 2014
While the eight million-euro transfer boosted jersey sales and Dortmund's plans to expand their brand into Asia, some media outlets questioned Kagawa's future role under Jurgen Klopp, and pointed out that his former position in central attacking midfield has been taken by Marco Reus.
Until Kagawa's signing, Reus' future had been the subject of much speculation with Dortmund and Bayern Munich caught in a month-long war of words. Reus, 25, is under contract at BVB until 2017, but can trigger a 25 million-euro release clause next summer.
Some reports suggested that Kagawa's arrival means Reus is likely to leave his hometown club next summer, but Watzke told Sport Bild that this is not the case -- and moreover, believes the return of the Japan international is a message for the Germany international, who has emphasised that he wants to win titles in his career.
"I am convinced that Marco sees what we are building here," Watzke said, and also added that both players can be on one pitch at the same time. "Marco and Shinji can perfectly play together. We've now got a great depth in midfield, a magnificent mixture of dynamic ball control, and experience."
Reus, who is currently with Die Nationalmannschaft preparing for the upcoming games against Argentina and Scotland, was quoted Bild as welcoming back the Japan international. "[Kagawa] will help us," the attacker said of the player he succeeded at Dortmund when he joined from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2012.
On Tuesday, midfielder and former BVB captain Sebastian Kehl warned not to put too much pressure on Kagawa. "He will need a bit of time to digest his Manchester experiences, and he needs to rebuild his confidence," he told reporters. "But he will come out on top here, and bring in his qualities."
Elsewhere, Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge welcomed the signing of Kagawa on Sky Deutschland, saying: "We need great competition and emotion in the Bundesliga. Every player with a [big] name is very welcome."

Thread: Booting a g3 iMac from USB CD?
Booting a g3 iMac from USB CD?
- Member Since
- May 25, 2007

I just got my very first apple system yesterday - an old G3 slot-loading imac, 350MHz w 128MB RAM & 6GB drive.
I think both the hard drive & the CD drive are dead. It was $20 on craiglist because it won't boot - it just goes to a gray screen with a flashing question mark. It will not boot from either the hard drive or any CD (Software Install, Software Recovery, PPC Linux, etc) - when I put a CD in the slot, the drive sounds like it's trying to spin up, but then it ejects the CD a few seconds later.
I can drop it to the OFW prompt & boot linux over the network. I've searched the web but my google-fu is not strong today - is there a way to boot it from a USB CD drive? I'd like to replace the hard drive with a spare I have lying around & re-install MacOS
You could give it a whirl. The 350MHz is only USB 1.1 so it's going to be slow if it's possible.
To test, plug it in and make sure the CD is inserted. Hold down the option button during start up. That will bring up the boot menu and wait for the USB drive to show up. I think it should. Click and then the right arrow button. It should restart with the CD.
I hooked up a external HD to my 350MHz and it took 2 or 3 minutes just to mount to the desktop, so if the CD drive doesn't show up immediately to the boot menu, give it 5 minutes. Hit the refresh button and see if it works.
Otherwise, I don't know if it's any good.

Holding down various buttons during booting got me nothing but a the little question-mark-o-doom. But, I did manage to boot from the USB cd. I had to override the built-in firmware device alias for 'cd' and point it to the USB device:
Hold down CTRL+OPTION+O+F, hit power button, get a firmware prompt.
0> devalias cd /pci@f2000000/usb@19/disk@1
0> boot cd,\\:tbxi
Sadly, I haven't yet figured out how to permanently change the cd alias - whenver the system reboots, it comes back as the original alias pointing to the device that doesn't work.
What's more - none of the Apple CDs want to boot from the USB drive. But, I've got Debian Linux up and running for the moment.
Are they actual Apple cd's, downloads or copies? Downloads never work so that may be the trouble.
Holding the option button should work. It's worked every single time I've used it.
I don't know how else to really help you. If you can't get it to work, don't put a ton of effort into it. 350MHz is slow. Online videos are unwatchable on that machine even with more than the minimum specs. With a bad optical drive, its even more worthless in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, G3 iMacs are cool, just not practical. You can find faster versions with a DVD drive for under $100 anyways.

They're actual apple CDs, as far as I can tell. They're branded & don't look like CD-Rs. I'm not sure why they don't want to boot when the linux cd's will. But, that's OK.
I had an extra 512MB of PC-133 sitting around, so it's got plenty of memory. It's slow, but it will work fine for my kids. Browsing & writing up homework shouldn't be a problem - if I can ever figure out how to get my CUPS server to let it print
Thanks again.
