review of my article by Rossow
Rossow, Amiel
Feb 23, 2003
My review of issue 13 of B'Ohr HaTorah contains a very brief discussion of
Dr. Rabinowitz's article. In fact it is only a few sentences long. I did not
see a reason to discuss it more in detail because the thesis which was the
subject of my discussion was the alleged collapse of the wave function by
conscious observers and it was elaborated in a more detailed way in an
article by Poltorak. Poltorak has indeed referred to Rabinowitz's and
Branover's previous article but emphasized the difference between their and
his interpretations. If one looks at my review of Poltorak's paper, one'll
see that the main thrust of my critique was the lack of logic in Poltorak's
idea according to which the universe came into its real physical existence
only when Adam "looked at it" thus causing the collapse of the universe's
wave function. This idea contradicts both logic and the Torah's narrative.
The Torah tells us that Adam was created (Genesis 1) or formed (Genesis 2)
after the rest of the universe was already in place. In Poltorak's
interpretation (to which Rabinowitz seems to wish to subscribe as its actual
originator) Adam must have existed prior to the universe, which plainly
contradicts the Torah. On the other hand, his (or
Rabinowitz's?)interpretation is contrary to logic. If Adam caused the
collapse of the universe's wave function, who (or what)caused the collapse
of Adam's wave function? Was Adam not a part of the universe? I don't want
to delve into various ramification of Poltorak's (or Rabinowitz's?) idea
which to my mind is irrepairably illogical. Note that I base the above only
on Rabinowitz's letter since I have not read his and Branover's article. I
have no plans at this time to return to a detailed discussion of that
controversy, and I agree with Rabinowitz that Talk Reason is not a proper
place to discuss various interpretations of quantum mechanics, either as
parts of physics or of metaphysics.

Rabinowitz, Avi
Mar 10, 2003
which you refer above to as Poltoraks idea is, as mentioned by Poltorak, in fact my idea: indeed it is one of the very central ideas of my article, which was submitted many years ago as noted in the journal. Its original presentation, as referred to by him, is in the article with the diagram referred to above, available at: http://www.dvar.org.il/jstudies/observer.html
I enclose a brief excerpt:
SOME EPISTEMOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF QUANTUM METAPHYSICS As we have seen, quantum physics connects ontology (being) with epistemology (knowing), and quantum metaphysics postulates that the universe can emerge into true physical existence only when there are (free-willed) conscious beings in it. According to this scenario, man is not a random product of the universe but is rather a necessary condition for the very existence of the universe. In addition, since the universe can emerge into true physical existence only when free-willed conscious man is present within it, there is no true physical reality to any time prior to the emergence of the first free-willed conscious man. According to Torah, this man was Adam.
I do not wish to create a long exchange of letters, Im sure there are many points in things we each write on which the other will disagree, and I have no desire to try to convince you of some polemic point. However Im sure you understand that I will feel called to respond to any critique which I feel is unwarranted, or to clear up other points you mention in my regard.
On a more personal note, as opposed to the somewhat hostile tone of the initial review I want to thank you for the professional tone of your response, and to apologize as above for any negativity in my tone. And a personal request: if in the future you review other articles of mine, I would greatly appreciate your notifying me so that I can respond.
Thank you very much.

review of my article by Rossow
Rossow, Amiel
Mar 20, 2003
I regret that Dr. Rabinowitz saw in my very brief review of his article
signs of personal animosity toward him. There was none. I disagreed (and
continue to disagree) with the position he takes in his article but this
disagreement had nothing personal in it. I can only repeat that, insofar as
issue 13 of BOhr Ha Torah was under review, the metaphysical thesis
supported by Rabinowitz was in a more detailed form evinced in the article
by Poltorak. Therefore I limited my review of Rabinowitzs paper in that
issue to a few sentences only, devoting more space to the discussion of
Poltoraks piece. I leave to Dr. Rabinowitz and Dr. Poltorak the discussion
of who of them was the real originator of that idea, if they attach
importance to that dilemma. Moreover, my task was to review the specific
issue of BOhr Ha Torah rather than to discuss in general the metaphysical
question about the necessity of a conscious observer to effect a collapse of
the wave function, and even less to delve into the question of who suggested
that idea earlier and who later. In any case, in my view the idea in
question has little to do with science. It is pure metaphysics and is so
blatantly illogical, especially in that part wherein it asserts that our
universe came into physical existence only when and because Adam looked at
it, that the question of priority which seems to worry Dr.Rabinowitz so
much seems to have some comical tint to it. I have no intention to discuss
Dr. Rabinowitzs (and Branovers) earlier paper, or even to read that paper,
at least in the near future, so a reason to notify him about such an
occurrence can hardly be expected to arise. Apart from that, I wish Dr.
Rabinowitz all the best, and certainly acknowledge his right to hold any
opinion of his choice.

Rabinowitz, Avi
Mar 21, 2003
Thank you for your response to my letter, and for your remark regarding the sequence of events.
If Adam caused the collapse of the universe's wave function, who (or what)caused the collapse of Adam's wave function? Was Adam not a part of the universe?
This is indeed a good question, and if you would read my article on the subject, the one you reviewed (which is available at http://www.borhatorah.org/home/article1/article1.html
as I wrote previously) you would find my answers to that question. To save you the time, I can present it here in very brief form: The eminent physicist Prof J A Wheeler has proposed a retroactive causation arising from quantum interactions, and has applied it to the emergence of the universe: in my article I write:
This radical idea that the universe begins its physical existence only with the emergence of a moral being interestingly finds support and parallel in the suggestion of quantum metaphysics that the universe can emerge into true physical reality only upon emergence within it of a conscious being, who, according to our thesis, is a free-willed moral consciousness. As the eminent physicist John A. Wheeler states, the emergence of a conscious being retroactively causes the emergence into reality of the big bang itself![24]
Footnote 24 refers among other things to Wheelers provocative diagram reprinted in the book version of my article with Branover. The diagram can be found at http://www.megafoundation.org/images/U-eye.gif which is a link from http://www.megasociety.net/CTMU/CTMUpapers/Langan_CTMU_092902.pdf
(By the way, as you will possibly note from my articles, following Rambam and many others I do not interpret all elements of the creation and Eden accounts literally (this would be even more clear from the larger manuscripts referred to in the article that I do not necessarily understand Adam (Mankind) as referring to an individual, or referring to a physical living being as opposed to a metaphysical entity, or a blueprint for humanity)

Dr. Rabinowitz persists in his effort to suck me into a detailed discussion
of his metaphysical constructions despite my quite clear expression of the
lack of interest in such an endeavor. I have no intention of delving into
the subtleties of his views on that subject which to my mind are just
arbitrary metaphysical notions far from science. I will make only one brief
comment regarding Rabinowitzs referring to Wheeler. John Archibald Wheeler
is indeed a physicist of a high stature. However the question under
discussion is not scientific. An expert in, say, hydrodynamics, may be an
ignoramus in, say, engineering hydraulics. Even more so, a good physicist
(like Wheeler) can be a poor philosopher. Here is what the very influential
professional philosopher Karl Popper wrote in regard to the question of
consciousness being necessary for the collapse of the wave function: I have
often argued in favor of the evolutionary significance of consciousness, and
its supreme biological role in grasping and criticizing ideas. But its
intrusion into the probabilistic theory of quantum mechanics seems to me to
be based on bad philosophy and on a few very simple mistakes. (See Karl R.
Popper, Quantum Theory and the Schism in Physics, Totowa NJ, Rowan and
Littlefield publishers, 1982). I am referring to Popper to show that mining
quotations is a double edged tool. Moreover, since Wheelers views are
referred to, here is one more quotation for Dr. Rabinowitz to mull over:
Consciousness, we are forced to recognize, has nothing whatsoever to do
with the quantum process. Who did say that, Dr. Rabinowitz? Well,
surprise! This is a quotation from the same John Archibald Wheeler . (See
Wheelers article in the collection Mind in Nature, edited by Richard Q.
Elvee, page 21, San Francisco, Harper and Row, 1982). If one wishes to build
an argument on quotations from big-name guys, rather then on facts and
logic, it is advisable to keep in mind that quoting partially may backfire.
This is my final response to Dr. Rabinowitz to whom I still wish all the

The evacuation order applies to about 850 residents who live in a 10 mile area from Andrew Molera State Park to Lime Kiln State Park, both the west and east sides of Highway 1, the road that hugs the cliff-lined coast.
The new order brings the total length of the evacuated area to about 25 miles of the coast, emergency officials said. The road is closed for public safety as fire crews on the ground battle what they are calling the Basin Complex of fires and tankers drone overhead, dropping water and fire retardant chemicals.
The fires are spreading due to dry conditions and high winds. Fire officials say the communities of Palo Colorado Canyon and Big Sur are areas of special concern because of numerous structures and fuels affected by sudden oak death and drought.
From midnight tonight until further notice, all national forest lands on the Monterey Ranger District will be closed to public access.
Fire consumes forestland in the hills behind Big Sur, California. (Photo courtesy Monterey County)
Since it was sparked by lightning on June 21, this complex of fires has destroyed 16 homes and burned 52,000 acres in the Los Padres National Forest. It is considered three percent contained and full containment is expected to take the entire month of July, fire officials estimate.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today joined Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator David Paulison at the Basin Complex Fires Incident Command Post in Big Sur.
"We still have many fires to fight, but we are already working to help the victims," the governor said. "Putting out the fires is only part of the battle - helping people put their lives back together is just as important. The cooperation has been fantastic and I am glad to see federal support because we are likely to face many more challenges in the months ahead."
Paulison emphasized the teamwork taking place between federal and state authorities, saying, "So far we've provided over $50 million to bring in extra firefighters, air tankers, fire trucks, set up base camps. All the things the state needs to help financing we're able to do, so the local communities don't have to worry about that. So it is a team effort. Nobody can do it alone."
"It takes not only federal assets but it takes state, local assets, all working together as a team," said the FEMA chief. "We saw this really gel last year with the fires in San Diego and now they're reduplicated here."
State, local and federal firefighters continue to battle more than 1,100 wildfires throughout California. scorched 680 square miles and destroyed 60 homes and other buildings across Northern California since June 20, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, CAL FIRE.
The number of fires was higher several days ago, but at least 300 fires have been contained by the work of firefighters from California and firefighters that have come from throughout the nation to help battle the blazes.
In addition to military support from the National Guard and Department of Defense, 40 states and the District of Columbia are providing personnel and equipment to help California.
The area in green is the Los Padres National Forest in California. Two large fires are burning, the Basin Complex to the northwest and the Indians Fire to the south and east. (Map courtesy U.S. Forest Service)
On Tuesday, Governor Schwarzenegger ordered the California National Guard soldiers to provide direct ground support to help CAL FIRE battle the blazes and as a result, they are mobilizing at least 200 soldiers to fulfill this mission. Last week, the governor ordered National Guard air assets mobilized to support firefighting efforts.
The Gap Fire in Santa Barbara County, which began yesterday evening, has resulted in a partial evacuation of the city of Goleta.
State highways and local roads are closed throughout California due to the wildfires.
Areas of Monterey, Santa Barbara and Shasta counties are under mandatory evacuation orders at this time.
Precautionary evacuation orders are in place for areas in Butte, Kern, Mariposa, Mendocino, Monterey and Shasta counties. Residents are advised to monitor the fire situation in their areas, check with local law enforcement agencies for information, and be prepared to evacuate when necessary.
Statewide the fires have burned more than 440,144 acres, 31 homes have been destroyed and 7,798 other residences are threatened along with 165 commercial buildings.
Governor Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency in 10 counties - Butte, Kern, Mariposa, Mendocino, Monterey, Plumas, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta and Trinity.
The governor today signed an Executive Order which will waive replacement fees for birth certificates, drivers' licenses and other critical documents.
It requests that Franchise Tax Board and the state Board of Equalization to assist fire victims with filing tax extensions and provide relief from late penalties and assessments.
The order will cut red tape to speed cleanup and debris removal and to repair environmental damage from the fires.

"The TCs advertised the tender in the Straits Times on 30 June 2010. Five companies collected the tender documents. These were CSC Technologies Services Pte Ltd, Hutcabb Consulting Pte Ltd, NCS, NEC Asia Pte Ltd and Action Information Management Pte Ltd ("AIM").
I am aware that NCS considered bidding but in the end, decided not to do so as it was of the view that the IP rights to software developed in 2003 on soon to be replaced platforms were not valuable at all.
Another company withdrew after it checked and confirmed that it was required to ensure renewal of the NCS contract without an increase in rates. The company did not want to take on that obligation. The others may also have decided not to bid for similar reasons.In the end, only AIM submitted a bid on 20 July 2010." - Dr. Teo's statement[Link]
Is this what this whole AIM episode is about – ensuring that the passengers in the Cessnas have bumpy rides or even crash land? Does the government even care about the passengers in the Cessnas, or are they simply collateral damage in a bigger political game.
........ In our view, the PAP TCs had unjustifiably risked a disruption to public services and that this should not be allowed to recur. I am relieved to read that the MND recognized the need to preserve continuity of public services as a paramount priority"

Boys High School Basketball: Sioux Falls Roosevelt High School at Lincoln High School Tuesday Night
Tonight the Lincoln Patriots tackle the number one team in the state hosting Roosevelt.
Coach Jeff Halseth's team lost to Brandon Valley Friday 60-53 then bounced back to thump Washington 55-36 less than 20 hours later on Saturday.
You see, the Patriots won their first five games of the season including a win over Coronado, Nevada in the Mike Miller Classic.Then had a four-game losing streak in which they lost five of six games.
"We became way too selfish," said Halseth, who held a team meeting after the home loss to the Lynx. "We were shooting too quickly. The guys saw we needed to work on swinging it a couple of times rather than settling for the first open shot."
Halseth says he loves the team effort and team defense. He will need all that tonight in effort to slow down the Rough Riders. Roosevelt averages nearly 76 points a game with it's full court trapping style.
The Riders, looking to win the school's first state boys championship since 2000, use an undersized, yet very physical style of play.
"What we lack in size we make up with quickness and athleticism," said coach Lee Taylor. "But we are physical in a sense of we don't back down from challenges with bigger and stronger opponents."
It is going to be a fun, fast-paced game.
"Lincoln is going to be a big challenge," said Taylor. "Just like Watertown they have playmakers all over the court and on the bench. Nermin Krdzalic is as good as it gets at point guard and making plays. Adam Jaros is tough physically and really shooting it. Rector is physical athlete and if he is knocking down outside shots – they are really good. Park and Krause are only going to get better with more games played. They went through a funk in which most teams do over the course of a Double-A season and now got a big win to get out of it versus Washington. We will have our hands full tonight."

Front Sway Bar-Endlink Bushings - 19.05mm | Ford Ranger
A sway bar bushing plays a huge role in your suspension, so don't settle for rubber. Prothane Sway Bar bushings are made of polyurethane, a much more durable material for suspension bushings than rubber. Polyurethane does not break down due to road grime, weather or oils the way the rubber can. Have the peace of mind knowing you have a long lasting part on your sway bar with Prothane's sway bar bushings. Prothane's polyurethane sway bar bushings provide a secure grip on the sway bar and does not warp over time. With this snug grip, your vehicle will see a performance boost similar to installing a larger sway bar.
A sway bar's function is to maintain the maximum amount of road contact during tires. The sway bar is held to the frame of the vehicle with a sway bar bushing. Original Equipment rubber can warp and/or crack, losing its grip on the bar. This causes the your sway bar to lose it's effectiveness. Just look at the old rubber sway bar bushing to the left. Imagine how good of a grip that thing could keep on a sway bar. Go with Polyurethane.
The metal sway bar rotates inside the sway bar bushings, so be sure to use the supplied Prothane's Super Grease to lubricate the bushings during installation. Its super important that you lubricate each bushing well to prevent any squeaking. If you'd like some extra grease just in case, pick up an extra 3 pack.
Prothane makes bushings in both colors. But is there a difference in them? Is one harder than the other? There are a lot of misconceptions about the color difference in Prothane's bushings, so let us at DST clear that up for you.
Aside from the actual color, there isn't really a difference at all between the red and the black. They are the same durometer, or hardness, so they will perform the same and both should last the life of your vehicle.
The black bushings do have a small amount of graphite mixed in with the polyurethane which has the potential to help with squeaking. But really, the best way to prevent Prothane bushings from squeaking is to use the supplied pre-lube and grease them properly at install. So whether you choose the red, or the black, just be sure to grease them properly to avoid any squeaking.

Korg Volca synths: bass, keys & beats for £120 each! [VIDEO]
You need Korg's Volca series
We're not sure which of the Dolphin gang have it better: those who've gone to Musikmesse in Frankfurt to see all the new gear launched in the flesh, or those of us back in the office who get to watch awesome analogue synth videos like this beauty from Korg or the Bass Station II clip from Novation we wrote about earlier in the week.
One thing that's been clear from our view of Messe is that this year, analogue synthesis is truly back. This new series lets you create a diverse array of fat sounds that can only be obtained from an analogue synth and a loop sequencer for intuitively generating phrase performances. Built-in speakers and battery operation mean you can play any time, anywhere. But the best feature has to be the price - just £199.99 each!

Lightweight Denim Shorts
Added Oct 14, 2013
by Omar T
Santiago, Chile
Finally I had the time to sew again en decided to experiment with denim.
I went for a very lightweight denim (wasn't sure my machine as gonna be able to handle thick layers) and added some zippers and straps to embelish. This is the first time I've done pants with a back yolk and may I say they are easy to make & very flattering.
For the inside of the waistband I used a light cotton Regina Mills office from ABC's Once Upon a Time kinda print from Joann's. The bias binding foot came in handy for the finish.
I made a bunch of clothes tags using satin ribbon and a sheet of transfer paper. I haven't washed it yet, so I hope the ink stays.
Hope you like it.
PS: I'll be putting the rivets soon, if I can find old looking ones. Tips on where to buy them overseas? thanks

Hi there! I was kinda waiting for you comment, hehehe.
I did bring tons of silk indeed. Trying to figure out what to do with them now, Bold gold patterns aren't so simple to mix with our home decor.
Chile is getting hotter everyday, love it!

haha, so we still share the same enslaving for fabrics.
:-) make some nice outfits out of the silk.
here it's getting colder and wetter every day, don't like the wet part! Maybe I should spent the winter in Chile than, hahaha

To what lengths would you go to extend the battery life of your Android phone? Would you switch your display to night-vision mode if it could reduce the power consumption in half?
Android engineer Jeff Sharkey has discovered a fun hack that a allows you to power each specific color channel (red, green, and blue) found in an AMOLED display. Organic LED displays have separate pixel elements for each color channel so powering only one color can save quite a bit of power.
Which colors use the least amount of power? Jeff hooked up an industrial power meter and found that powering only the red pixels could nearly double the battery life.
"Filtering to show only red pixels only requires 35% of the original baseline OLED panel current, on average. Adding back the baseline current, the best case overall is about 42% of the original system current, effectively doubling the battery life. Also, showing only red pixels doubles as an awesome night vision mode, perfect for astronomy."Jeff SharkeyAndroid Software Engineer
For the full details on how to apply the hack, be sure to visit Jeff's blog. This looks like an interesting tool to conserve some power at night, so I expect we will see this feature built into some of the custom ROMs like CyanogenMod.

Taft loses by one in Tuesday match
The Taft High varsity girls' tennis team lost the battle for the league to undefeated perennial powerhouse Bakersfield Christian, 5-4, on Tuesday.
Taft's JV team beat BCHS here, 7-2, for Taft's third straight league title.
"The varsity match was close. Lupita Lozano won at No. 2, but Taylan Erro lost 13-11 in a third-set tiebreaker at No. 1 and Gloria Okafor, playing up a spot at No. 5, lost, 7-6, 6-2, so we lost after the singles round," coach Jim Carnal lamented.
"BCHS is 9-0 and will go undefeated in league. They are just about one top player better than us. We are 9-2 and will go 12-2 for second place and Wasco will end up 10-4 for third.
We are just about one top player better than the Tigers. The South Sequoia League in tennis is a tale of two skill levels with the rest of the teams fighting for a distant fourth."
In the No. 1 singles game, McKenzie Berkshire got revenge for an earlier loss and held on to beat Taft's Taylan Erro, who was undefeated in league, 6-4, 3-6, 13-11. Likewise, Taft's Lupita Lozano got revenge for her only loss in league when she beat Briana Morris, 6-2, 6-7 (6-8), 10-4. Abby Williams of BCHS was too steady for Roxi Barboza, 6-1, 6-2.
Taft's Haven Cook was sick so everyone had to play up a spot. The Eagles' Taylor Touchstone torched Jen Rivera, 6-0, 6-0.
Taft's Gloria Okafor had won at No. 6 in the first meeting, but fell to No. 5 Kristen Kaing, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2. Taft's Karina Amaya lost to Brittany Aguilar, 6-1, 6-1.
With the league championship returned to BCHS from Taft (the 2012 SSL champions), BCHS coach Frank Thiessen played his number 8-11 players in doubles.
Taft swept the doubles. Erro and Lozano beat Aguilar and Anika Tanus, 6-3, 6-2.
Barboza and Okafor beat Monique Oja and Annie Verhoef, 6-1, 6-2.
And, Griselda Ramos and Liliana Noriega, moved up from No .1 JV to replace Cook, came from behind to beat Taylor Lazaruk and Caroline Stone, 3-6, 6-1, 10-2.
Taft is 13-4 overall. BCHS is 14-3 overall.
In the JV match, Taft had to win without former No. 1 Noriega. BCHS won the top two singles matches.
Margaux Hein beat Paige Gaylord, 6-3, 6-1. Angie Gruggett held on to beat Destany Rocha, 6-1, 2-6, 14-12.
Taft swept the rest of the matches. Kyrsten Davis outlasted Tessa Touchstone, 6-3, 3-6, 10-7.
Willow Owen bageled Natalie Bloemhof, 6-0, 6-0. Cooper Mainard beat Kaylee Curless, 6-4, 6-4. Tory Parkinson beat Sofiape Los Santos, 6-2, 6-0.
In a big doubles win, Gaylord and Davis outlasted Hein and Gruggett, 6-2, 5-7, 11-9. Rocha and Owen handled Los Santos and Hanna Lewis, 6-1, 6-1. And Luzelena Cisneros and Kira Swope took care of Daisy Gutierrez and Alesha Jex, 6-1, 6-1.
Taft's JV improved to 16-4 overall; 10-1 in the SSL.

Scallop Button Up Skirt
Added May 7, 2011
by nettevivante
Nordrhein Westfa...
Oh, I tried myself on pattern making for a garment for the very first time. I was inspired by Megan Nielsen's tutorial for a scalloped hem skirt with elastic waistband. But because I wanted a scalloped skirt with button up front and pockets for a long time already, I had to try it myself. :)
I am so glad that I had the heart to draft this skirt pattern! It just turned out as I imagined and I couldn't stop giggling after trying it on because I was so happy.
So this is the version I was thinking of: a middle waisted and light ruffled straight skirt with button up front, side pockets and scalloped hem.
Now I want to share to give all of you something back (in case you are interested!). I am so glad to be part of this wonderful community. You can either download instructions and pattern here on BurdaStyle or come visit me on my blog and get it over there nettevivante

Apr 10, 2013, 01.47 PMby porcini
This is one of the cutest skirts I've ever seen! I'm off to find some fabric for it right now. Thank you SO MUCH for having the guts to draft this. I've been wanting something like the megan neilson jewel sea skirt and the scalloped edge and this is it! Bookmarking your blog for later. I seriously am the happiest girl in the world right now! :D x

The scallops really make this skirt….you could even wear some contrast leggings or a peek-a-boo slip underneath. It's quite versatile, I think!

Wonderful job!!! What a great skirt and thank you for sharing your pattern with all of us. I can't wait to try to make this skirt. I am not too sure about the scallops but I will give it a go, may make it for my daughter as it seems a little young for me. But the basic skirt pattern is one that I am sure I will make for myself with a regular hem line. Keep up the great sewing!!!

Asus Crosshair III Formula Review
When it comes to overclocking, one requires only the best components, including processors, memory and, of course, motherboards. With motherboards, there are so many chipsets to choose from that a lot of trial and error comes into play when picking the correct one for you. As an enthusiast, I push the limits of my hardware to squeeze every bit of juice out of them that I can. When it comes to AMD processors, such as the Phenom II X4 955, I found the AMD 790FX/SB750 chipset to be the most stable for achieving high overclocks. One manufacturer has taken a proven enthusiast platform and designed a board around the 790FX/SB750 chipset for those yearning high benchmarks, such as our readers at OCC.
ASUS has had a sub-brand called the Republic of Gamers for some time now and designs its products to be the finest products available to gamers, according to ASUS. Its line includes both motherboard and video cards that are built to be the best. One of the series aimed at AMD users from ASUS is the ROG Crosshair series, which traditionally were built using nVidia chipsets. However, for the third board in the series, ASUS opted for the 790FX chispet with its proven stability and speed. The Crosshair III Formula also adds special features that set it apart from other 790FX based boards, which we will see inside.
Closer Look:
The ASUS Crosshair III Formula comes packaged in a pleasantly looking box, with the logo on the front showing it's a Republic of Gamers product. On the back are pictures of the board and audio card, as well as the specifications for the Crosshair III. What is unique about this packaging is there is a front flap that opens up on the box, revealing the inside with a view of the motherboard in all its glory. On the upper part of the flap there is more detail on some of the unique features that the ASUS Crosshair III offers that many other boards do not. These features are what sets this board apart from the competition.
When you open the packaging there are two inner boxes that slide out. The top inner box is what keeps the board very secure and protected so that it is not damaged when being moved around. It also gives a nice view to the board before taking it out of the packaging. The second box, or bottom one, is the accessories box, which houses and stores all the accessories for you. This is great for keeping what you are not using at the time safe for later. There is a wealth of accessories included that we will go into more later in the review.
Now that everything is out of the box we can get a better look.

A.M. Three Strikes: Missing man found dead in bathroom, a mistaken intruder and CO suspects arrested in Montana abduction
Strike one: What a horrible way to be found. George Degrazio, 66, of Loveland left his home around noon on Jan. 9 to run errands and nobody saw him again until his body was discovered Saturday in a bathroom at the Cinemark movie theater in Fort Collins.
Degrazio might have been dead for five days before he was discovered. Theater employees smelled the body decomposing and broke the lock on the door and found him.
Degrazio died of a heart attack, according to his son, who told station KGMH he was upset that theater employees had not checked the bathroom earlier when his father's Nissan Xterra was found parked nearby.
Degrazio suffered from heart disease.

And another popular Linux distribution pushes a new release out the door. This time around, it's openSUSE, as they just released version 12.1. Other than the usual latest and greatest version of all the open source desktops and associated tools, there's a few other interesting tidbits in this release as well.

Water in Cylinders - 89 Tristar

Water in Cylinders - 89 Tristar
Well I purchased a 89 Tristar with a 351 Windsor at the beginning of the season. I bought it and as soon as I got it home the problems started flowing. So far this season I have completed a head rebuild/head gasket, replaced starter solenoid and starter, Oil cooler, volt gauge, ignition switch, plugs and wires, speed pickups and raw water pump. So this weekend I attempted to start the boat in my drive way, which I used a flush pro to provide cooling water ( I know this by passes the oil cooler, was just going to test it quick after a starter install), the engine then hydro locked and I proceeded to pull spark plugs. Water was in every cylinder!! I had just completed a complete head (New valves, springs and milled) and gasket rebuild with ARP head bolts, 10 hrs ago. So I am wondering if it is possible for water to flow from the flush pro with enough force to travel into the exhaust valves from the manifolds, or am I screwed with another blown head gasket. I completed a compression test on one cylinder and compression was good. I'm going to purchase a fake-a-lake and test again. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

Alistair Darling presenting the Rob Williams People's Choice Award to Dean
The Rob Williams People's Choice Award was decided by the public in an online vote, which closed minutes before the awards ceremony began, and it went to Dean Rhodes-Brandon, the 17-year-old that founded YourLocalCinema.com, an innovative not-for-profit website and information service that is designed to help those who are hearing or visually impaired to fully enjoy the cinema experience.
This year the award has been presented in memory of Rob Williams, co-founder of Dolphin Music and a finalist in last year's Enterprising Young Brits Awards. Passionate about inspiring others, Rob was an Ambassador for the Make Your Mark campaign and tragically died earlier this month.

Rochester Student to Appear on American Idol-style Competition
This fall, University of Rochester student Brian Shin '15 will head to Korea to compete on KPop Star, an American Idol-style reality television competition. Chosen from a pool of nearly 400 people during auditions in New York City, Shin charmed producers with acoustic guitar renditions of Cold Play's Viva La Vida and Psy's Gangnam Style.
After making it past the first round of auditions in New York, producers from the hit reality TV show traveled to the University to capture a slice of Shin's life on campus. While here, they shot footage of a student flash mob dancing to Gangnam Style in front of Rush Rhees Library. Liking what they saw, producers granted Shin with an invitation to compete on the show.
Video: UR Gangnam Style Flash Mob
"The auditions were the most nerve-racking experience of my life," Shin recalls, noting he received the call from producers while on the bus back to Rochester. "I was excited and honored that the producers wanted to film at my campus."
Like many reality competition shows, KPop Star includes a panel of judges ready to critique or praise contestants. But unlike American shows that include celebrity panelists, KPop Star chooses judges that are executives from Korea's three largest record labels, SM, YG, and JYP. Contestants sing or dance, hoping to land a coveted contract with one of the labels. In the show's first season, contests were drawn only from Korea, but this year, the show held auditions in New York City, Los Angeles, London, and Sydney, among other major cities around the world. Shin will head to Korea in October for filming.
Shin, a native of Temecula, Calif., is studying international relations and Asian studies at Rochester. In addition to his interests in music, he is a member of the 2015 Class Council, Korean American Students Association, and Liberty in North Korea student organization.

Indianapolis, IN - Today, Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita praised the teamwork that led to the arrest of Frankfort resident Phillip Butler and the filing of additional criminal charges by Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney Sonya Leerkamp. The most recent charges against Butler are for two counts of fraudulent or deceitful acts while acting as a loan broker, and one count of theft; all three counts are Class D felonies. Rokita also took the opportunity to announce a new online resource for prosecutors fighting white collar crime.
Butler is accused of illegally charging up-front fees to procure a loan and diverting part of a loan deposit for personal use. The charges were filed on a referral from Rokita's Prosecution Assistance Unit (PAU).
Butler is currently awaiting trial in Hamilton County for three securities charges, including fraud in the sale of a security, and was previously arrested in 2005 in a sting initiated by Rokita's office and carried out with the assistance of the Indiana State Police and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department for illegally offering and selling an unregistered security to an undercover Indiana State Police Detective and a Secretary of State's Office Securities Investigator
"This is the kind of repeat criminal activity that we will not let Mr. Butler or others get away with," Rokita said. "Hoosier investors and taxpayers deserve protection from ruthless scam artists like Mr. Butler. Clearly, this man didn't get the message the first several times he was arrested as he continues to break the law. The commitment and cooperation of all agencies involved sends the message that Indiana will not stand by and let its citizens be victimized. The good work of our Prosecution Assistance Unit should put this man behind bars."
Butler is currently on probation in Clinton County after pleading guilty in July 2005 to four counts of fraud during the offer or sale of a security. He was barred from the securities industry in 1989 and plead guilty in 1990 to forgery and two counts of theft in Hamilton County. There, he was sentenced to five years of prison to be served concurrently to a 1991 Clinton County four-year prison sentence for pleading guilty to four counts of selling unregistered securities.
The PAU was created by Rokita and his Securities division in 2004 to further existing investigations and facilitate local law enforcement's prosecution of alleged Securities Act violations. The focus of the office is to assist county prosecutors in an effort to work together at the courthouse and statehouse to root out the worst of the worst of white collar crime. By working with law enforcement throughout the state, the PAU's investigations have led to the filing of charges in 22 high-profile investment fraud cases in Indiana, and has a 15 to 1 conviction-to-dismissal record, with over 150 years of jail time sentenced to-date.
With today's arrest, Rokita also announced a new website for the PAU, which can be found in the INvest section of the Secretary of State website (www.sos.IN.gov). There, interested Hoosiers and law enforcement personnel alike can find information and resources about the PAU and fighting white-collar crime. The website contains information about previous cases in which the PAU was involved, information about various securities act violations, a place for Hoosiers to file complaints about possible violations, and also access the website of their local prosecutor. It also has information on different training session opportunities to educate and inform police officers, prosecutors, and other law enforcement personnel about pursuing white collar crime as well as a password protected area containing resources for Indiana prosecutors.

tunebite m4p convert - TunePat M4P to MP3 Converter - convert DRM music to plain MP3
If you have purchased some music files from online music store like iTunes, and want to play on your portable devices, such as cell phone, MP3 player,Sony PSP etc,this guide may help.
Since the music files you purchased from iTunes stores are protected by DRM, you could NOT play them on your mobile devices directly. And you could NOT also convert the DRM protected music files to MP3 or WMA directly with iTunes media player. However, iTunes allow you to burn the protected music files to CD-R or CD-RW disc to make a standard audio cd. TunePat installs a virtual CD burner on your PC, and let you convert the protected music to unprotected MP3 files automatically. Then you can transfer the unprotected MP3 files to mobile device as DRM-less MP3 files.
DRM copy protection is great as an anti-piracy technology, but it often punishes consumers that have legally purchased media. TunePat M4P Converter is the best software that removes DRM legally (doesn't hack DRM encryption) and produces DRM-free media files that you can enjoy on practically any capable device.
TunePat Audio Converter doesn't bypass the DRM, it simulate the Burning, Ripping and Encoding process by installing a virtual CD burner. All you need to do is to burn your playlist with your media player software to TunePat's virtual CD Burner, and TunePat will convert music files in the playlist automatically.
With TunePat M4P Converter, you can easily convert protected audio and music files to plain MP3 formats, or WAV, WMA format playable on Creative ZEN, iriver clix gen 2, iriver MP3 player, ARCHOS, PSP, Nokia, RIM BlackBerry, Sansa e200 Series, Sansa MP3 Palyer, etc. Fully automatic, TunePat M4P Converter frees you from the hassles of copy protection without defeating the DRM copy-protection technology used by your audio files. This means it will function with all copy-protection measures, and it's completely legal. tunebite m4p convert
tunebite m4p convert: How TunePat M4P Converter removes DRM control from Purchased music?
TunePat M4P Converter works in conjunction with your favorite media playing software to burn DRM-free audio files onto a virtual CD; the only proviso in using this method is that your media player software has to have the facility to burn files to CD. Once the virtual burning process is complete you can then transfer the DRM-free files to any media/MP3 player. tunebite m4p convert
TunePat M4P Converter runs on Windows XP, Vista and supports almost all the media player software that let you burning audio CD. Supported media player software includes iTunes, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, RealOne, WinAMP, Napster, etc.
Purchased songs from digital music services like Napster or the iTunes Store often come with DRM restrictions that stop you from using other portable devices. TunePat M4P Converter installs a software driver that emulates a CD-RW drive which works with your media player software to remove DRM protection.
TunePat M4P Converter: Legally free DRM music, tunebite m4p convert
If you have downloaded DRM-protected music, you have probably discovered how annoyingly restrictive DRM technology is. Not only do you have the problem of working out what portable media players it will work on, but your freedom to use your downloads how you please is also crippled.
TunePat M4P Converter is an audio tool that removes DRM copy protection from audio files. This DRM removal tool actually installs a virtual CD-RW writer on your system that you can then use to remove DRM copy protection. tunebite m4p convert
tunebite m4p convert: M4P and .m4p audio file format:
M4P format is "protected AAC". It is a format of purchased music that can be listened to only through the iTunes softer or an iPod.
.m4p as a file extension is almost identical to .m4a and .m4b extensions, thus being a MPEG-4 file container for encoded audio. The encoding (compression method) of the audio can be virtually anything, but the AAC-based encoding is currently the most common one. The one big difference between .m4a and .m4p is the fact that .m4p is copy-protected with DRM mechanisms, so it can't be played by unauthorized users at all. Virtually all of the .m4p files nowadays are audio tracks bought from Apple's iTunes music store.

alone.That number will triple by 2050. Well over 50% of these people wander and become lost. A lost person
with Alzheimer's or other dementia represents a critical emergency. They are unaware of their situation, they do
not call out for help and do not respond to people calling out to them. Nearly half of them will die and many
can become injured, or fall victim to predators if they are not located within 24 hours. The number of
families and communities experiencing this risk will grow dramatically in the coming years.
Project Lifesaver has formed a partnership with the Dukes County Sheriff's Office who
deploy specially trained teams with the most reliable technology available to quickly locate
and return wandering adults and children to their families and caregivers.
How Project Lifesaver Works
We have combined "tried and true" radio technology with rescue teams from the Dukes County Sheriff's Office and the local community to build an effective life-saving system that has proven itself, time and again, to be reliable, responsive, practical and affordable.
People who are part of the Project Lifesaver program wear a personalized wristband that emits a tracking signal. When caregivers notify the Sheriff's Office, ( local Project Lifesaver agency) that the person is missing, a search and rescue team responds to the wanderer's area and starts searching with the mobile tracking system. Search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes. The Project Lifesaver wristband is much more than a passive ID bracelet. It is a one-ounce battery-operated wrist transmitter emitting an automatic tracking signal every second, 24 hours a day. The signal is tracked on the ground or in the air over several miles. Each wristband has it's own unique radio frequency, so the search team positively locates and identifies the person who has wandered away.
Technology is Only Half the Story
Project Lifesaver belongs to each community. It's all about people and partnerships. Local Sheriff's Office, Civic groups, businesses, and the caregivers join in developing and strengthening all aspects of the program including rescues, fundraising and education within their towns and counties. Project Lifesaver emphasizes relationships between team members and the people who may wander before the need may arise for a rescue. Team members visit the home of the bracelet recipients to install the transmitter and make regular visits to maintain the equipment. Project Lifesaver team members are specially trained, not only in the use of the electronic tracking equipment, but especially in the methods to communicate with the person who has Alzheimer's. Locating the individual is only part of the mission. The person who is located will be disoriented, anxious, and untrusting. The Project Lifesaver team knows how to approach the person, gain their trust and put
them to ease for the trip home.

Babyproof Your Home
You know to cover the electrical outlets, but other hazards in your home are less obvious. Here's how to recognize the trouble spots and make them safe for your little daredevil. by Christina Vercelletto
- prev
- Next
- 1 of 5
1. Pet Food
Dry kibble is a choking hazard. Keep the dish in an enclosed area that Speedy can get to but your baby can't. Otherwise, stand guard as your pet chows down, and take the dish away as soon as he's done.
2. Fire Extinguisher
Keep a multipurpose dry-chemical one in a cabinet that's out of reach of little hands. Water can't put out a grease fire, and will actually help spread it.
Buy stove knob covers (like Safety 1st's Clearview ones; $9, babiesrus.com). Use back burners, and turn pot handles inward. An appliance lock (like Kidco's On/Off one, $5, onestepahead.com) can keep the oven door closed.
Trash Cans
Sharp objects or choking hazards may lurk inside. Stick your can in a locked cabinet or buy a heavy one so your baby can't knock it over or open it.
Low Cabinets
If you have to keep cleaning products here, use a super-secure lock (like Safety 1st Cabinet Flex-Lock; $14, at amazon.com).
3. Windows
Install guards that screw into the window frame, not the pressure-mounted kind. Try Sterling Secure Window Guards: $25, amazon.com. Blind cords can be a strangulation hazard, so wrap them around cord cleats (they come with new blinds, or you can find them at home centers), positioned out of your baby's reach.
Buy on Amazon.com!
Sterling Window Guard
4. Power Strips
Cover up that enticing jumble of plugs and wires. The Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover fits single-row power strips; $8, amazon.com.

Mommy's Helper Power Strip Safety Cover
5. Coffee Tables
Remove breakable items from them. Use corner cushions and wraparound guards on low, sharp-edged tables. Prince Lionheart's Table Edge Guard set includes both; $20, babiesrus.com. If the table doubles as a chest, lock it so the lid can't open. And if you have a glass-topped table, replace the glass with a piece of plastic so your baby can't shatter it.
6. Houseplants
Keep houseplants out of reach. Your baby could eat them or the dirt.
7. TV Stands
Choose one that's less than 30 inches tall to reduce the risk of the television's tipping. Look for an Underwriters Laboratories sticker, which proves the product has met government standards to hold a TV. Never put a television on top of a dresser -- open shelves up the risk of tipping.

- 8. The Crib
What's wrong with this picture? Mobiles need to come out once your baby is 5 months old -- the small parts can be a choking hazard and the string poses the risk of entanglement. The bumpers and blankets should go, too; they up the risk of SIDS and suffocation.
9. Electrical Outlets
Use sliding covers. Plastic caps can pose a choking risk.
10. Throw Rugs
Choose ones with nonskid backings, or add a nonstick rug pad, to prevent slips and falls.
Learn how to Babyproof Your Bathroom
11. Furniture
Secure anything that could tip over to the walls or the floor with anti-tip, L-shaped brackets or straps, like Safety 1st's Furniture Wall Straps; $4 for a set of two, amazon.com.
12. Toy Storage
An open option is best, since the heavy, hinged lids of traditional toy boxes can close on little fingers; there's also a risk that a toddler could become trapped inside. If you prefer a toy chest, buy one with a removable lid.
13. Wastebaskets
Easy-to-pull-off wicker is a choking hazard. Throw trash in plastic or metal cans with lids instead, and keep them out of your baby's reach.

It is possible that the main title of the report Streptococcus, Group B is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Group B streptococcus (group B strep) is a type of bacteria that causes infection among newborns, pregnant women or women after childbirth, females after gynecologic surgery, and older male and female patients with other serious diseases.
Group B strep remains the most common cause among newborns (neonates) of infection of the blood (septicemia) and of the brain (meningitis). The responsible bacterium, usually S. agalactiae, may be found most often in the vagina and rectum of females and may be transmitted sexually, as well as to a fetus as the infant passes through the birth canal.
Group B strep infection of newborns may be prevented by giving pregnant women who are carriers antibiotics through the vein (intravenously) during labor. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that any pregnant woman who has had a baby with group B strep disease in the past, who has a bladder (urinary tract) infection caused by group B strep, or who tests positive for group B strep during pregnancy should receive antibiotics during labor.
Prevention and prompt treatment are important because group B strep infections may become life-threatening among newborns.
GBS disease is said to be early onset if it is obvious within the first week of life. It is said to be late onset if the disease is evident after the first week of life and before the end of the first three months. Those at greatest risk of GBS disease are newborn children of infected mothers, women after childbirth, females after gynecologic surgery and older male and female patients with other serious diseases.

Clinical Alert: NHLBI Stops Part of Study - High Blood Pressure Drug Performs No Better Than Standard Treatment
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
8 March 2000
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) has stopped one part of a large high blood pressure study early because one of the tested drugs, an alpha-adrenergic blocker, was found less effective than the more traditional diuretic in reducing some forms of cardiovascular disease.
Called ALLHAT-for Antihypertensive and Lipid Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial-the main portion of the study is comparing newer drug treatments for high blood pressure with a more conventional and less costly treatment. Another portion is comparing treatments for elevated cholesterol.
The NHLBI acted after an independent data review by an advisory committee. Patients were informed as soon as possible thereafter. Those on the alpha-adrenergic blocker were being offered an alternate medication, in consultation with their ALLHAT or personal physician.
The alpha-adrenergic blocker is doxazosin; the diuretic is chlorthalidone. Users of doxazosin had 25 percent more cardiovascular events and were twice as likely to be hospitalized for congestive heart failure as users of chlorthalidone. The drugs were similarly effective in preventing heart attacks and in reducing the risk of death from all causes.
Of the approximately 24 million Americans who take medication to treat their hypertension, about 1 million use an alpha blocker. Doxazosin, the alpha blocker used in ALLHAT, is sold under the brand name Cardura®. (Other alpha blockers used for hypertension are terazosin, sold under the brand name Hytrin, and prazosin, sold under the brand name Minipres).
"This finding adds important information to our understanding of antihypertensive drugs," said NHLBI Director Dr. Claude Lenfant. "No large-scale blood pressure treatment study had ever compared these two classes of drugs. Earlier studies were small and could not, for example, detect an increase in patients' risk of congestive heart failure."
The rest of the ALLHAT study, which began in 1994, will continue as scheduled and is expected to end in 2002.
ALLHAT involves 42,448 patients, enrolled through 623 clinics and centers across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. About 7,000 U.S. veterans are participating through 69 Department of Veterans Affairs clinics.
ALLHAT participants are aged 55 or older. Forty-seven percent are women, 47 percent are white, 35 percent are African American, and 16 percent are Hispanic, while 36 percent have diabetes.
On enrollment in the study, participants had been diagnosed with systolic and/or diastolic hypertension (140 mm Hg or higher and 90 mm Hg or higher, respectively), and had at least one added risk factor for coronary heart disease, such as diabetes, cigarette smoking, and a low level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL cholesterol), or had a history of (but no recent) heart attack or stroke.
ALLHAT participants receive periodic checkups and currently have between 2 and 6 years of followup.
ALLHAT also is comparing chlorthalidone with two other high blood pressure drugs-a calcium antagonist, called amlodipine, and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, called lisinopril.
About a quarter of ALLHAT's hypertensive patients also are participating in the cholesterol-lowering portion of the study. This includes a fourth of the patients on doxazosin, who will be able to continue their involvement in this aspect of the study.
The cholesterol-lowering study involves older patients with slightly to moderately elevated cholesterol. It is testing whether treatment with dietary changes and an HMG CoA reductase inhibitor, called pravastatin, reduces deaths from all causes better than dietary changes alone.
Other findings about doxazosin in comparison to chlorthalidone are: Those in the doxazosin group had slightly higher systolic blood pressures than the chlorthalidone group, although the diastolic pressures were the same.
The doxazosin group also had poorer compliance with treatment-only 75 percent were still on the drug or another alpha blocker after 4 years, compared with 86 percent still taking chlorthalidone or another diuretic.
Due to the finding, NHLBI advises high blood pressure patients who now take an alpha-adrenergic blocker drug to consult with their doctors about a possible alternative. If a patient is just starting drug treatment, an alpha-adrenergic blocker may not be the best choice for initial therapy.
"Patients on an alpha blocker for high blood pressure should see their doctor and not just stop taking it," emphasized Dr. Jeffrey Cutler, director of the NHLBI Clinical Applications and Prevention Program and ALLHAT project officer. "We cannot conclude that the drug was harmful. Rather it didn't work as well as the diuretic in reducing cardiovascular disease."
About 50 million Americans have high blood pressure and about 52 million have high blood cholesterol. Both conditions are major risk factors for coronary heart disease and both strike particularly hard at older adults. High blood pressure also is the chief risk factor for both congestive heart failure and stroke.
Treatment for both high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol typically starts with lifestyle changes, including increased physical activity and weight loss for the overweight. A healthy, low-saturated fat, low-cholesterol eating plan is advised and, for high blood pressure, avoiding excess salt, sodium, and alcohol.
When those changes do not lower elevated blood pressure or cholesterol enough, then drug therapy is needed.

Our company as a matter of practice and security, reformats and reinstalls all software to the c:\ drive when an employee leaves the company. Just to make sure that personal stuff is destroyed as well as the 2000 themes that seem to end up on these machines.
We used to use a non-oem version of Windows 98, NT or 2000 rather than the disks that came with the PC.
We have at least as many OS licenses as we have PC's. (If we can count the oem software) The reason we didn't use the manufacture's version is that we could not control the partitioning of the hard drives. (Could not control size or type NTFS or FAT) The HP or Compaq OS did the fdisk so that the PC was in the original state.
Several months ago, we got a BSA, Business Software Alliance mailing that ended that practice. The HP license numbers only work with their CD's some but not all of the Compaq license numbers work with the non Compaq software.
Does anyone have a trick to control restore CD's or at least control their partitioning? There are no floppies involved.
We are now ordering all of our PC's without an OS and buying licenses in bulk (Believe it or not most of the PC's still show up with the OS installed.)

About Compass3D®
Compass3D is the result of a legacy of passion and pioneering spirit that was passed from father to son since the early 70s.
As a student of dentistry, Mark Gribel imported in 1976, with the support of his father, the first dental radiography device in Minas Gerais. Working within his father's office, Joseph of Arimathea Gribel, one of the first orthodontists in the country, he rendered services to dentists in the state capital. With courses in Germany, Spain and the United States, achieved thanks to the contacts of Dr. Joseph of Arimathea, Mark soon began to provide services not only for cephalometry in Belo Horizonte, but for the entire state of Minas Gerais.
With the arrival of the 1980s, Mark discovered the personal computer and saw the new technology as a way to streamline his work. He developed a program to make the necessary calculations for cephalometry, and never stopped. As the technology progressed, its software was upgraded to the newest platforms. His son, Bruno Gribel also trained in dentistry and passionate about technology, transported all the work for his father's 3D technology, which enabled the creation of a virtual model of the face in high precision, revolutionizing the world of orthodontic treatment, implants and surgeries. The fusion of technology with technical dental knowledge resulted in the Compass being recognized as synonymous with excellence in the areas of diagnosis, planning and prototyping in various specializations of dentistry.

ALAN Shearer has backed Saints hotshot Rickie Lambert to be a hit in the Premier League next season.
After a career spent entirely in the lower leagues, Lambert will at last get a chance to test himself at the elite level of English football when the new campaign begins.
Whether the 30-year-old striker can translate his sensational scoring form of the past few years into the top flight is likely to be one of the big topics of debate around St Mary's this summer.
But he has already received the seal of approval from Shearer – the Premier League's all-time leading scorer.
The legendary former Saints striker admits Lambert, who has netted 88 times in just three years at St Mary's, will find goals much harder to come by now.
But he believes the club's current star targetman will still prove to be an effective force in the top division – as long as Saints can provide him with the necessary service.
"He has scored the goals last season to help them get up," said Shearer, referring to the 31 times Lambert struck across all competitions in 2011/12.
"Can he score goals in the Premier League? I don't see any reason why not, if they can get the service to him, which is key.
"It will be a lot more difficult than it has been for him, but I don't see why not.
"Once a goalscorer always a goalscorer."
Shearer came through the ranks at The Dell, scoring 43 goals in 158 appearances, before Blackburn paid a then British record sum of £3.6m to prise him away in 1992.
Although it is now 20 years since he was a Saint, the club still holds a place in the 41-year-old's heart.
And Shearer, a pundit on the BBC's Match of the Day highlights show, is looking forward to seeing a lot more of them next season.
"I'm delighted (they will be back in the Premier League)," he said, before going on to praise the work done by manager Nigel Adkins, who has guided the team to back-to-back promotions.
"I've seen them a couple of times live last season and the manager has done a fantastic job and they have a centre-forward in Rickie Lambert who has scored goals wherever he has been.
"I'm looking forward to them enjoying Premier League football."

As the long awaited FIREFACE800 is due for shipping soon, RME have released their test results for third party FireWire 800 PCI Cards.
If you are thinking of buying one of these then please take the time to read through this page as it contains much important information for both you.
As always, being able to supply you with the correct information at the outset will prevent possible problems in the future.
Fortunately the MAC G5 firewire 800 ports are fully compatible, PC users however will need to make sure they purchase the recommended cards by RME as tested by the development team.
The Full Report:
A Summary of the Report
Reassuring: FireWire 400 (1394a-2000) has always functioned properly. We tested PCI FireWire cards with chips from VIA, NEC and Texas Instruments. The communication between computer, Fireface 800 and external FireWire hard drive didn\'t show any problem.
Worrying: With FireWire 800 (1394b), however, we encountered shaky communication, complete denial or strong temperature dependancy. Operating the Fireface and an external FW800 hard drive at the same time caused irregular bus resets, which were of course interrupting the audio signal.
Working Hardware
Because of the experiences described above, we recommend that all FireFace 800 users who want to use FireWire800, use only devices tested by RME. We have checked the usage of low jitter crystals, a correct supply voltage of 1.95 V and a proper function with Fireface, plus the combination of Fireface and external FW800 hard drive with the following devices.
Apple G5 Series
It actually goes without saying, but only to avoid requests: Apple\'s G5 computers with FW800 port are fully compatible.
LaCie, renowned manufacturer, delivers a good brand\'s quality. Both the FireWire 800 PCI Card and the external LaCie d2 Triple Interface Hard Drive are fully compatible.
The renowned manufacturer MacPower also met our expectations. The external hard drive enclosure IceCube 800 is fully compatible.
Alternate FireWire PCI
No-name ware doesn\'t necessarily have to bad. For example Alternate\'s FireWire Card 1394b 800 PCI, a 64 bit PCI card with two FW800 and one FW400 port.
