Received as Described
I plan to use this cable as a network interface for a new home theater receiver. It is the correct length for my application, and it appears to be very rugged. The Cat 6 specification should provide plenty of bandwidth for the intended use.
So far, I am in the process of running the cable through the house, but I have not been able to actually chack its performance. Unless there is some wiring error, it should work well. The color coding of this group of cables (in my case green)is a great feature that makes it easy to differentiate between other cables in the system.

Actually (and honestly) there won't be the chance
to evaluate the Ethernet category 6a cables with
TDR or other techniques, per "transmission line"
theory. That's just: out laboratory primarily
concentrates on "higher OSI layers" and isn't as
well equipped for electronic evaluations.
However, experience has shown that "hand crimped"
cables have a way of inviting long term moisture
corrosion (the crimps are anything but perfect),
and it's a pleasure to have quality manufacturing
from a reliable source, which gives me one less
problem to worry about!

You have a nice business... :)
The products you have are good quality products... sometimes I have a little difficulty finding what I need... and not all adapters that I have bought have worked... even though they were the correct adapters... like an older Joystick which did not work with the adapter to a 2.0 usb... or mouse and keyboard adapter from 2.0 usb to the round connectors on the computer... to free up two usb slots... they did not work either... I see no sense is having adapters which connect properly which do not work... LOL but the products were good quality products... I will continue to use your company for my needs when they arise... :)

Arrives on time, good packaging but performance
Everything looks good on the cable and I use it to extend school ipad chargers. So, new apple ipads with new chargers and what I observe, is these cable slow down the rate of charge quite a bit. The rate of charge easily beats the rate of battery use for video call when the charging cable is used by itself.
But, when I use this extender, the charging power cannot keep up and the iPad cannot last 8 hrs when connected to the plug through this cable. So, that tells me that there is power loss through this cable, which I was not aware. So, will not recommend this for charge purpose. I should have purchased a power cable instead.

A male sergeant at West Point has been accused of secretly videotaping at least a dozen female cadets, sometimes when they were showering, The New York Times reports.
Gen. John F. Campbell, the army's vice chief of staff, tells the Times that "once notified of the violation, a full investigation was launched, followed by swift action to correct the problem."
The accused, Sgt. Michael McClendon, was charged on May 14 "under four articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for indecent acts, dereliction in the performance of duty, cruelty and maltreatment, and actions prejudicial to good order and discipline," according to the newspaper, and was transferred to Fort Drum, N.Y. He had been a staff adviser to a company of cadets.

If you opt for the upgrade, changes are coming to your iPhone experience this fall. And if you want to shell out some cash right away, the latest line of MacBook Air computers boasts a lot more power and battery life, and the machines are available to ship today.
Apple chiefs announced their latest products and improvements Monday as part of the keynote at the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
We kept an eye on the two-hour presentation so you didn't have to. The highlights:
iOS 7 Changes Include Improvements To Siri
Apple CEO Tim Cook calls the new iOS 7 the "biggest change" to Apple's mobile operating system since the introduction of the iPhone six years ago. The new operating system offers 10 new features, including multitasking for all apps and background updates, and it strips away the old look in favor of flatter design. The Verge reports:
"The new design is evident in everything from sharper, flatter icons, slimmer fonts, a new slide-to-unlock function, and a new control panel that slides up from bottom for frequently accessed settings. The stock apps have all been redesigned — including a major revamp of the weather app with new animations that are scarily reminiscent of the Yahoo's great-looking Weather app."
As part of the upgrade, Siri is also getting a makeover. Users will be able to personalize Siri down to the voice preference, meaning you can now choose a man's voice instead of a computerized female sound. And Siri can now speak French and German, with more languages to come.
iOS 7 will be available for the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 and later.
New Versions Of Mac Pro, MacBook Air
While the new iOS 7 won't be available until the fall, a new line of MacBook Airs is available today. The computers use Intel's low-powered Haswell processor and boast battery life that lasts "all day," according to Apple — that's an estimated nine hours on a single charge. The 11-inch and 13-inch models start at $999 and $1,099, respectively.
The latest Mac Pro also got a striking new look. It's now shaped like a cylinder and is no bigger than a water bottle. "Can't innovate anymore, my ass," said Apple's Marketing Vice President Phil Schiller, referring to critics who say Apple has been in a serious funk.
The company's reputation hasn't been helped by its relationship with Chinese manufacturer Foxconn, whose factory workers committed a string of suicides and have been the target of reports of questionable workplace safety. Perhaps in response to the negative PR, Apple emphasized that the Mac Pro, which goes on sale later this year, will be assembled in the U.S.
No More Cat Names: Mavericks Is The New Mac OSX Software
Following a long line of cat-named operating systems, the latest is called Mavericks, named after a California surfing location. Apple Senior Vice President Craig Federighi said that rather than continue naming its systems after cats, it wanted to create branding that would last for the next decade. Among the Mavericks' improvements are improved battery life and faster performance, support for multiple displays, and finder tabs — like browser tabs but inside the Mac file folder windows. Wired has an excellent rundown of all the upgrades in Mavericks, including "App Nap," which will preserve processing resources, and under-the-hood changes to the Safari browser.
iTunes Radio Unveiled
As expected, Apple debuted iTunes Radio, its streaming music service that will compete with Pandora. Much like Pandora, users will be able to create radio "stations" based on songs they're listening to and share them with friends. iTunes radio will be built into all Apple software, including the new iOS, OS X and Apple TV. So Apple will have a user base, if an uphill climb in the competition for market share. Pandora currently holds about 70 percent of Internet radio market. Tune in to Tuesday's Morning Edition for NPR correspondent Laura Sydell's report on how Pandora got to its reigning position.
Whether these "biggest" changes will change the trajectory for Apple is unclear. Its stock has plunged since this time last year, and the growth in sales of its smartphones is slowing. As the Los Angeles Times reported, analysts say that with the growth in iPhone sales slowing "it's more essential that Apple strengthen its software and services to retain customers and find other ways to drive more revenue."

Delivered in Latin by Stephen Hammer
(English translation)
Given in the Academic Assembly of Princeton
In New Jersey on the Second of June
In the Year 2009
In the 262nd Academic Year
My fellow students and dear friends:
I salute you all. President Tilghman, for your prodigious service, I salute you. Trustees, who diligently preserve this university and its lofty traditions, I salute you. Faculty, by whose labor we have been taught, I salute you. Finally, parents, I salute you. For without your love and long-suffering we would not be able to be here today. We, the students of Princeton, give thanks to you all.
Under an archway of McCosh Hall an inscription reads, "Here we were taught by men and gothic towers democracy and faith and righteousness and love of unseen things that do not die." Indeed, here, we learned democracy -- to walk in the shadow of an unbroken line of men who laid down their lives for our country. Here, we learned faith -- to accept that grace that conquers evil. Here, we learned righteousness -- the dearest prize that no man can earn. Here, we learned truth.
But if we think that we learned this truth through our own merit, we deceive ourselves. The apostle Paul wrote, "Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" Here, people of Princeton, we did indeed learn wisdom, not by our own merits, too often sung and too loudly praised, nor by exams and theses, but by the faith in and the grace of unseen Glory. The glory of this world fades quickly, but that Glory is eternal: No lesson learned at Princeton ought to be held so dear.
With the journey having been begun, finish the race: love justice, shun vice, and exhibit integrity to the republic and compassion to all men. To all those who helped us to come this far, of ages past and present, hail and farewell.

The Son's Grace
Passage Luke 15:11–32
Speaker Chris Steynor
Service Evening
Series Life with God
11 Jesus continued: 'There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, "Father, give me my share of the estate." So he divided his property between them.
13 'Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 'When he came to his senses, he said, "How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants." 20 So he got up and went to his father.
'But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms round him and kissed him.
21 'The son said to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son."
22 'But the father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found." So they began to celebrate.
25 'Meanwhile, the elder son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 "Your brother has come," he replied, "and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound."
28 'The elder brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, "Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!"
31 '"My son," the father said, "you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found."'

This is a joint giveaway with Hobo Mama and Natural Parents Network. You may enter at one site only. Please find the section marked "Win it!" for the mandatory main entry and optional bonus entries.
Jessicurl is offering our readers a giveaway of a Light & Luminous Trial-Size Collection, a value of $36.
This haircare collection for finer curls and waves includes six safe and gentle products perfect for wavy and curl hair on adults or little ones! The zippered travel pouch includes a step-by-step instructional insert with tons of tips and techniques to help you get fabulous curl enhancement and definition.
I love Jessicurl products for my wavy hair, and for my young son Mikko's. Jessicurl haircare products are made from positive ingredients that are safe and natural or naturally derived. They clean hair without stripping the natural oils, and moisturize and style without weighing down the texture. Most significantly, they've made my wavy hair look nearly curly!
My hair on the Jessicurl regimen
I first became aware of Jessicurl haircare when I was transitioning my own hair from straight to wavy — an intriguing discovery I made when I started treating my hair more gently and ditched harsh shampoos and styling products. It also coincided with the birth of my firstborn, who gave us another delightful surprise: a headful of ringlets.
I needed haircare products that could care for my baby's curls gently and with a natural look, and also keep my own hair looking attractive. But I wanted to make sure anything I used was safe for my baby's sensitive skin and easy on the environment. Jessicurl fit the bill!
Jessicurl recently sent me a travel-size collection of Light & Luminous products, which is a collection designed specifically for thinner hair that might be weighed down by richer products. This makes it perfect for a lot of younger kids, who still have that baby-fine hair. (Jessicurl also offers a Rich & Radiant collection that's more moisturizing, ideal for thicker or coarser hair.)
This collection of 2-ounce bottles in a zippered pouch is perfect for traveling, as I discovered on our recent road trip, where I was able to simply toss the pouch into my suitcase and have all my haircare together. I enjoyed trying out the collection, rediscovering favorite products, and sampling new ones. Here's what's included:
Gentle Lather Shampoo
I don't usually use anything more than water on baby Alrik,
but he volunteered to model the Jessicurl products.
Or perhaps he just liked playing with the bottles. One of those.
Gentle Lather Shampoo is just that: a very gentle cleanser. Usually I don't use shampoo at all (just a gentle conditioner), because conventional shampoos strip the moisture from my hair and therefore kill the wave. But I can use Gentle Lather and have good-looking, wavy hair the same day! This is significant, people. It means I can use this shampoo every time I shower, with no detrimental effects to my hair's health and texture. There's also a Hair Cleansing Cream that adds moisture as it cleans and is best suited to very dry, thick, or textured hair.
Gentle Lather Shampoo doesn't lather an awful lot, because it's missing the harsh chemicals that make conventional shampoos so very foamy, but it does give a satisfying, mild lather (you can see it on Alrik above), and it's easy enough to get my scalp clean with just a small amount. I recommend rubbing it between your wet palms first before using your fingertips to rub it over and scrub your scalp (gently). Then you can just let the lather run over and down the rest of your hair to get it clean. (Gentleness is key when dealing with curls.)
Aloeba Daily Conditioner
Aloeba Daily Conditioner (which has aloe, as you might be able to tell) is moisturizing without weighing finer hair down. It's very smooth and I can feel how light it is as I smooth it into my hair. It also makes a good leave-in conditioner for pretty much any hair type, so you don't have to rinse it out all the way.
Too Shea Extra Moisturizing Conditioner
For a deep conditioner for finer hair, or a daily conditioner for dry hair, Too Shea Extra Moisturizing Conditioner kicks it. I've been using Too Shea (which features shea butter, obviously) about every third shower (I shower about twice a week, for the curious) to keep my hair nicely moisturized. I also use it after swimming in chlorine, coloring my hair, or similarly damaging activities. I put it in, pop a shower cap over my hair, and let it steam as I finish the rest of my shower, then rinse. Even though it's more moisturizing, it's not too heavy for my hair even the day I use it.Gelebration Spray
Gelebration Spray is a lighter formulation of Rockin' Ringlets Styling Potion, which is the product that started it all when Jess herself formulated her own flaxseed-based styling product. She loved it on her own ringlets, and it turned out that curly friends loved it, too, so she bottled it!
Gelebration Spray has the word "spray" in it, but I don't find it sprays very evenly. For that reason, I usually spray into my palm and then smooth the product through my dripping wet hair, just post-shower. I took a Jessicurl tip to flip my head upside down first — it really does help the curl form even better! I scrunch two or three palmfuls of Gelebration Spray into my hair.
Gelebration Spray is a pretty light gel on its own. It helps the curl form, but I feel that the next product, Confident Coils, is necessary to help the curl stay put. Gelebration Spray is also very watery, so it's necessary to do just a small palmful at a time and be careful about not spilling it as you apply. I like that I can really see the flaxseed origins of this gel in its naturally brown color. Using this has made my curls bouncier and more defined.
Confident Coils
I really love Confident Coils. It's a smooth white cream that works with the Gelebration Spray (or Rockin' Ringlets, if you have thicker hair) to help hold the curl. I need just a tiny amount (as in the picture above); if I use too much, it weighs down my hair and makes it too sticky. But with a small amount through my wet hair, it ends up gorgeous!
With both styling products together, I find I have bouncy, well-defined waves and even a few curls (woot!) that last all day. They do not make my hair look crunchy or wet as some gels can do; any crunch can be gently scrunched out after the hair has dried, but I don't ever need to. I let my hair air dry, with the roots supported with a clip and excess moisture scrunched out with a microfiber towel. If I'm feeling ambitious, I use a hair dryer and pile the curls on top of the diffuser, pushing them toward my head — that makes them even more defined. Either way, I just love the way Jessicurl products make my hair look and feel!
Awe Inspiraling Spray
Alrik's ear-skimming hair is too sparse for me to know
whether Jessicurl products make his hair curlier or not —
but Mikko's hair looked great with them when it was curly!
Awe Inspiraling Spray has me a little stumped, I have to confess. I love the idea of a second-day spray that refreshes curls, but I can't get it to work as well as spraying a lot of water on instead. I've tried spraying it on dry hair and on wet, but I haven't noticed much difference. If anyone figures it out, let me know! I'll keep experimenting.
I'll mention that one other downside I've found to Jessicurl products is that they're lower hold in general. Second-day hair is less defined than when I use a more conventional gel, and my roots tend to go flatter with Jessicurl as well (not always a bad thing; sometimes gel makes them stick up in odd ways). I've been experimenting with adding a dab of gel to my roots before I put in the clip. That seems to help. And for second-day (and third-day, etc.) hair, I wet it or just pull it back, as per usual!
Ingredients & Scents
Jessicurl puts a lot of emphasis on choosing safe, healthy ingredients and, most importantly to me, being entirely transparent about which ingredients they use and why. Many ingredients are natural or naturally derived, and Jessicurl provides explanations for the non-natural ingredients they've chosen to include.From the website:
Every ingredient in every Jessicurl product is there for the specific positive effect it will have on your hair — there is no filler. …
You can also rest assured that NONE of our products contain any animal ingredients, nor do we test on animals. All of our products are tested on many heads of curls — people who actually want to be a part of the development. These aspects of Jessicurl will never change.
Natural ingredients include nourishing aloe vera, coconut oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, avocado oil, flax seeds, shea butter, and an herbal "hair tea." Some of the non-natural ingredients are humectants, emollients, and a tiny amount of preservatives.
What's critical is what ingredients they don't have: silicones that coat strands and are hard to wash out, harsh cleansing agents, drying alcohols, and the like. All the ingredients are specially chosen to nourish and strengthen hair, protect natural oils, and make curls and waves look their best with every use.
The trial sizes come unscented, and you can choose unscented for the full-size products as well. Otherwise, Jessicurl offers two fragrances, and scent samples are included in the trial: Citrus Lavender and Island Fantasy. I've tried both and find the Citrus Lavender (lavender, grapefruit, and orange essential oils) is heavier on the citrus, and Island Fantasy (coconut, vanilla, and citrus) is heavy on the coconut. From reviews I've gathered that many people seem to prefer the Island Fantasy, but I'd guess that's a personal thing. Citrus Lavender is a lighter scent and has no synthetic fragrances so is a good choice for anyone with sensitivities. However, since sniff-critic Mikko hates them both, I've learned my lesson to get the No Fragrance option next time! For use on kids, that's not a bad idea, anyway.

One downside to the Jessicurl line is the price. I stopped using it for awhile because I needed to put my money elsewhere. Now that I've gotten to use it again, though, I'm hooked. It does such great things for my hair that I've decided it's worth the cost for me. A regular 8-ounce bottle of product costs $16.95. Since it's a small company with high-quality products, I'm willing to pay more for something that works well for my hair so consistently.There are a few ways to save money: You can buy larger amounts (32 ounces in a pump bottle such as you'd see at a salon, or even a gallon jug!) if you know you like it and want to decant it into a smaller bottle for the shower or vanity. Buying the products in a collection also cuts down on the price, whether you choose the 2-ounce or 8-ounce sets. You can also buy the 2-ounce sizes for travel or trial purposes for $6.95 each, or a 0.5-ounce sample for only $1.50 just to give something a go. You can choose one free sample with each order, or buy additional samples singly or with an order. That means you can decide if it's right for you before committing, so give it a try — I know you'll love it!

In at least one population, about half of intelligence differences between individuals can be attributed to genetics—specifically, the sum of many small effects from hundreds or even thousands of genes. The study, published today (August 9) in Molecular Psychiatry, is the first to pin down the genetic influence on cognitive abilities.
"The value of this paper is that it is the first clear and empirical demonstration that part of intelligence comes down to something which is writ in DNA," said Patrick Sullivan, a psychiatric geneticist at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, who was not involved in the study.
For decades, scientists have fiercely debated how much of the variation in individual intelligence can be attributed to genes. Studies of identical twins have suggested that 60-80 percent of intelligence comes down to genes, but "the controversy in the past has...
In addition, aside from the Alzheimer's-linked APOE4 gene, researchers who went looking for "intelligence genes" have been unable to find them. Furthermore, many studies purporting to look at the heritability of intelligence have been accused of using faulty methodology or tweaking the data to justify racist beliefs.
To tease out the genetic differences directly, Visscher and his colleagues analyzed roughly 500,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in about 3,500 adults aged 18 to 90 from the United Kingdom and Norway. The subjects took an array of vocabulary, speed of processing, and reasoning tests designed to measure intelligence.
Not surprisingly, they didn't find any specific genes that were associated with higher cognitive abilities. Given the complexity of the trait, a single gene is unlikely to have a large effect on intelligence, meaning researchers would need a much larger sample size to detect those minute effects.
Instead, they were able to use a statistical technique to analyze the overall effect of genetics on smarts. Specifically, they used all 500,000 SNP locations to determine how genetically similar each subject was to every other individual in the study. They found that people who tested higher on intelligence were more genetically similar to each other than to those who scored lower in intelligence, and that roughly half of the variation in intelligence between individuals could be attributed to underlying genes. The results suggest that hundreds or even thousands of genes may each contribute a small amount to intelligence. But what those genes are remains a mystery.
One way to find those genes would be to increase the sample size by pooling genetic data from all studies on intelligence, Visscher said.
The findings also have a number of other limitations, researchers said. First, the study participants were mostly older adults, born as early as 1921, and thus represented a biased population—those healthy enough to still be alive, said geneticist Dorret Boomsma, who leads the Netherlands Twins Register at the VU University in Amsterdam, and was not involved in the study. The study population is also inherently biased because the selection criteria make it a nonrandom sample.
In addition, some researchers have questioned the statistical methods used, said Greg Gibson, director of the Center for Integrative Genomics at Georgia Institute of Technology who was not involved in the study. Because the researchers sampled only a small subset of the SNPs in the human genome, most of which are not in the actual genes that may affect intelligence, its quantitative estimate is not predictive of the larger population, he said. So even though genetics predicted about half of the variation in intelligence within their sample population, what they found would only predict about 1 percent of the variance in intelligence across the wider population in Northern Europe, Gibson said.
Finally, the study is only applicable to intelligence in populations they studied, Gibson added. "This study says absolutely nothing about differences between groups," such as people of different ethnicities.

Ed Avery looked the prosecutor in the eye and said he didn't do it.
It's one thing to file a motion seeking bail based on what one set of defense lawyers, namely Avery's, supposedly told another set of defense lawyers, namely Lynn's. A polygraph, on top of that, is not even admissible as evidence in a Pennsylvania criminal court.
But it's entirely another matter to yank that defendant out of jail, put in him in a courtroom under oath, and ask him once and for all for the truth.
Lynn is currently sitting in jail serving 3 to 6 year years for endangering Billy's welfare. But if you follow Avery's statements to their logical conclusion, it means that stacking the deck in the first archdiocese sex abuse trial wasn't enough. It wasn't enough for the judge to let in 21 supplemental sex abuse cases dating back to 1948, before the defendant was born, to demonstrate a clear pattern of conduct in the archdiocese.
No, the prosecutors had to get one of the defendants to cop a plea to something he didn't do, a sex crime that never happened, just to bag Lynn with a "historic" conviction. It's the sort of thing that an ethics panel or an appeals court might want to look into.
Avery's admissions today placed the prisoner in jeopardy, as both the prosecutor and defense lawyers took pains to point out in court.
"Life is gonna get even worse when the press is covering it, yes?" Assistant District Attorney Cipolletti asked Avery.
The former priest agreed.
Avery has another 18 months to go before he is eligible for parole. But, as defense lawyers pointed out, the state might take revenge on Avery by not granting him parole, and letting him serve his full five-year sentence. The state could also file perjury charges against Avery, defense lawyers said. If convicted, that could mean additional time, and the former priest could wind up dying in jail.
But none of that seemed to phase the prisoner, who obviously had something to get off his chest, and nothing was going to deter him. Avery, who looked like he had lost weight since his last courtroom appearance, was dressed in a floppy, light-blue prison uniform on the witness stand. He did not have to wear handcuffs, and he was also not wearing his once-familiar toupee.
The prisoner even disagreed with Cipolletti when the prosecutor asked if the priest had been "laicized," the formal church procedure for busting a priest down to a lay person.
"That's incorrect," Avery told the prosecutor. The man with two Ph.D. degrees, in spirituality and gerontology, told the Cipolletti he hadn't been laicized, he had been "defrocked." What that meant, the prosecutor cut in, was that Avery could no longer dress up as a priest, present himself as a priest, or say Mass publicly.
That's all true, Avery told the stunned prosecutor, but he added, "Once a priest, always a priest."
Lawyers familiar with Avery's status have said that Avery now serves unofficially as the prison chaplain.
Among the spectators watching Avery in the courtroom were his two civil lawyers. "He killed 'em," one was overheard telling another spectator before he left.
In response, Avery said he had been guilty of "always horsing around" with boys, and wrestling with them. Cipolletti said that the priest had also dropped ice into the boys' pants as part of his horseplay.
The prosecutor was no longer interested in what the witness had to say, frequently cutting off Avery's answers. Defense lawyers reacted by falling all over themselves to make objections, saying that the prosecutor wasn't letting Avery finish his answers. This was true. Sadly, the judge meekly went along with the charade, and the result was the prisoner frequently was silenced.
And many in the audience wondered what else Avery might have to say. But instead they were treated to more oratory from the prosecutor.
Cipollletti went into one long discourse about how abuser priests like Avery had betrayed the faith of young boys who made the fatal mistake of trusting them, prompting McGovern to stand up and ask the judge if it was time for closing arguments, because Cipolletti was certainly making one.
I'm ready to give my closing as well, the defense lawyer told the judge.
That won't be necessary, the judge told McGovern. The situation in the courtroom, however, had deteriorated, and plainly needed strong direction, but none was forthcoming from the bench. For a fleeting moment, some defense lawyers in the courtroom, which included a former member of Lynn's defense team, may have actually missed M. Teresa Sarmina, the prosecution-friendly but no-nonsense judge who presided over the Lynn trial.
Rose, a defense lawyer representing Bernard Shero, a former teacher also accused of raping Billy Doe, asked Avery what would have happened at his plea bargain hearing if Judge Sarmina had asked if he had actually raped Billy. It was a question that according to a five-page transcript of that hearing introduced into evidence today, Judge Sarmina had never bothered to ask.
It sure was.

CEA-2010: A Good Baseline for Bass?
The way the audio industry has been measuring subwoofers for decades has turned out to be inadequate. But the new method they've come up with may be causing as much confusion as the old one.
To understand why there's so much controversy surrounding the recent introduction of the CEA-2010 subwoofer measurement standard (PDF), it helps to first understand one of the big differences between subwoofers and regular speakers. Most of us are used to judging speakers by their frequency response — i.e., the flatter and more extended, the better. But in a subwoofer, distortion is at least as important as frequency response, and perhaps even more important.
If you're automotively inclined, you can think of the frequency response vs. distortion issue like horsepower vs. torque. Regular speakers need flat and extended frequency response, but distortion doesn't usually matter so much for them — just as an Indy 500 race car needs tons of horsepower to hit high speeds but can get by without a lot of torque. Subwoofers, though, benefit from low distortion and high maximum output, and aren't so affected by drooping frequency response — just as a pickup truck needs lots of torque to tow a boat trailer but doesn't need a lot of horsepower.
I stumbled upon the frequency response vs. distortion issue when conducting a blind panel test of subwoofers back in 1998 or so. In my panel test, the B&W sub the panelists picked as their favorite — i.e., the deepest and most powerful-sounding sub — had a measured frequency response that started to fall below 35 Hz. But a sub from Von Schweikert Audio with a measured frequency response down to 19 Hz had panelists complaining about a lack of power and deep bass.
Eager to figure out what was up, I ran more tests, including phase response, amplifier power, etc. When I ran a seat-of-the-pants distortion test, measuring the sound-pressure level of each subwoofer at 10% distortion at 20 Hz, I suddenly had my answer. The B&W sub, as well as the other two subs the panelists liked best, put out much more SPL at 20 Hz without exceeding that 10% distortion threshold.
Other people in the audio biz realized the same thing. This realization was the impetus behind the development of CEA-2010. CEA-2010 sets certain maximum distortion thresholds, and measures the SPL a subwoofer can reach at six different bass frequencies without exceeding those thresholds.
(If you need a quick and accessible primer on distortion, read "Distortion: A Show and Tell," which explains and demonstrates much of what I'll discuss below.)
When I found out about CEA-2010, I was eager to adopt it. S+V has done subwoofer output measurements for years, but not in a way that anyone else could easily duplicate. So far, though, CEA-2010 may have fostered more controversy than clarity.
How CEA-2010 works
CEA-2010 was based largely on the research of Don Keele, a veteran audio engineer perhaps best known for the lengthy, authoritative speaker reviews he wrote for S+V's now-defunct sister publication, Audio. The basic concept employs a real-time audio spectrum analyzer, which shows the level of each frequency of sound. To test a subwoofer at a certain bass frequency, you play a special test tone (available here in MP3 format), then turn up the volume and watch the effects on the spectrum analyzer. As you can see in "Distortion: A Show and Tell," the distortion harmonics appear on the analyzer's screen as added tones at multiples of the original test tone — i.e., a 50 Hz test tone will produce distortion harmonics at 100 Hz, 150 Hz, 200 Hz, etc.
When the distortion harmonics exceed a certain threshold, you note the level in decibels of the fundamental tone on the analyzer. CEA-2010 records the results at six frequencies spaced one-third octave apart: 20, 25, 31.5, 40, 50 and 63 Hz. The results at 20 to 31.5 Hz are averaged as the "Ultra-Low Bass" output, and the results at 40 to 63 Hz are averaged as the "Low Bass" output.
The idea is that you get two basic numbers — Ultra-Low Bass and Low Bass — by which you can then judge a subwoofer.
Before I published any CEA-2010 measurements in S+V, I experimented with the technique for a few months in the effort to get consistent results. When I started, to my knowledge only a couple of manufacturers and no publications were using the technique, so I had few results I could compare mine to.
While the procedure can be performed with a spectrum analyzer — that's the way I originally did it — Keele has written a CEA-2010 routine that runs on the Igor Pro measurement and analysis software platform. The software essentially works the same way as a spectrum analyzer, but automates the process so it's more consistent, more accurate and much easier.

He is an authority on international law, national security law and the law of the sea. He also teaches advanced topics in national security law and the rule of law. Moore taught the first course in the country on national security law and conceived and co-authored the first casebook on the subject. From 1991-93, during the Gulf War and its aftermath, Moore was the principal legal adviser to the Ambassador of Kuwait to the United States and to the Kuwait delegation to the U.N. Iraq-Kuwait Boundary Demarcation Commission.
From 1985 to 1991, he chaired the board of directors of the U.S. Institute of Peace, one of six presidential appointments he has held. From 1973 to 1976, he was chair of the National Security Council Interagency Task Force on the Law of the Sea and ambassador and deputy special representative of the president to the law of the sea conference. Previously he served as the counselor on international law to the State Department. With the deputy attorney general of the United States, he was co-chair in March 1990 of the U.S.-USSR talks in Moscow and Leningrad on the rule of law. As a consultant to the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, he was honored by the director for his work on the ABM Treaty Interpretation Project. He has been a frequent witness before congressional committees on maritime policy, legal aspects of foreign policy, national security, war and treaty powers, and democracy and human rights. He has been a fellow of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars at the Smithsonian Institution.
Moore is a member of advisory and editorial boards for nine journals and numerous professional organizations, and he has published many articles on oceans policy, national security and international law.

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with GAAP, CMS may also disclose certain non-GAAP and pro forma non-GAAP results of operations, including net income, earnings per share, and operating income that make certain adjustments or exclude certain charges and gains that are outlined in the schedules included in this website. CMS provides historical financial results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Management views adjusted earnings as a key measure of the company's present operating financial performance and uses adjusted earnings for external communications with analysts and investors. Internally, the company uses adjusted earnings to measure and assess performance. Adjustments could include items such as discontinued operations, asset sales, impairments, restructuring costs, regulatory items from prior years, or other items. Because the company is not able to estimate the impact of specific line items, which have the potential to significantly impact, favorably or unfavorably, the company's reported earnings in future periods, the company is not providing reported earnings guidance nor is it providing a reconciliation for the comparable future period earnings.

The non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to non-GAAP information used by other companies. The non-GAAP information should be considered supplemental information to assist in fully understanding our business results, rather than as a substitute for the reported earnings.

Advances in science have enabled the decoding of several animals' DNA. Knowing the genome of a species has enabled medical professionals to detect some diseases that have a genetic basis. But it also has other uses, even in the criminal justice system.
The Veterinary Genetics Laboratory Forensic Unit at the University of California, Davis is the first accredited crime lab dedicated to animal DNA profiling. There are three main types of cases: where an animal is a victim, where the animal is the perpetrator, and where the animal is a witness.
DNA can be used to confirm the ownership of an animal that has been stolen or to identify the remains of a lost pet. Tissue samples can be compared to items that would have the animals DNA on it, such as brushes, bedding, or food and water bowls.
When an animal is suspected of being the perpetrator, samples from the victim may lead to the culprit. Collection of samples from bite wounds, or clothing if the victim is a person, can be studied to determine what species performed the attack, and even to determine which individual is guilty.
Cases where animals are a witness are usually human crimes. Animal DNA can link a suspect with a crime scene or a victim. Transfer of DNA from saliva, blood, hair, stool, or urine can occur during the commission of a crime. The UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Lab has been involved in solving or proving several serious crimes. One was a kidnapping and domestic abuse case in West Virginia where they analyzed hair from around a drill bit and blood on a hammer owned by the suspect and matched them to two puppies belonging to the victim. Another case in Texas involved a serial rapist who rolled in dog feces during an attack. The victim owned three dogs, and they matched the stool found on the suspect to the victim's chihuahua. He was found guilty after lab personnel testified.
In a triple murder case in Indiana in 2000, a suspect denied he had ever been at the location of the murders. An examination showed that he had a very small amount of dog feces on a shoe. The UC Davis lab was able match this to the only dog on the property where the slayings occurred. The killer is now serving life in prison.
The use of DNA is opening up a whole new field of science, just one aspect is its use in the criminal justice system. The UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Lab is still in the process of informing criminal investigators of their capability of analyzing any type of animal DNA. Who knows how many cases can be solved now?

Home Buying
Buying a home should be fun, not stressful. As you look for your dream home, keep in mind these tips for making the process as peaceful as possible.
1. Find a real estate agent who you connect with. Home buying is not only a big financial commitment, but also an emotional one. It's critical that the REALTOR® you chose is both highly skilled and a good fit with your personality.
2. Remember, there's no "right" time to buy, just as there's no perfect time to sell. If you find a home now, don't try to second-guess interest rates or the housing market by waiting longer — you risk losing out on the home of your dreams. The housing market usually doesn't change fast enough to make that much difference in price, and a good home won't stay on the market long.
3. Don't ask for too many opinions. It's natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but too many ideas from too many people will make it much harder to make a decision. Focus on the wants and needs of your immediate family — the people who will be living in the home.
4. Accept that no house is ever perfect. If it's in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. The kitchen may be perfect, but the roof needs repair. Make a list of your top priorities and focus in on things that are most important to you. Let the minor ones go.
5. Don't try to be a killer negotiator. Negotiation is definitely a part of the real estate process, but trying to "win" by getting an extra-low price or by refusing to budge on your offer may cost you the home you love. Negotiation is give and take.
6. Remember your home doesn't exist in a vacuum. Don't get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself — room size, kitchen, etc. — that you forget about important issues as noise level, location to amenities, and other aspects that also have a big impact on your quality of life.
7. Plan ahead. Don't wait until you've found a home and made an offer to get approved for a mortgage, investigate home insurance, and consider a schedule for moving. Presenting an offer contingent on a lot of unresolved issues will make your bid much less attractive to sellers.
8. Factor in maintenance and repair costs in your post-home buying budget. Even if you buy a new home, there will be costs. Don't leave yourself short and let your home deteriorate.
9. Accept that a little buyer's remorse is inevitable and will probably pass. Buying a home, especially for the first time, is a big financial commitment. But it also yields big benefits. Don't lose sight of why you wanted to buy a home and what made you fall in love with the property you purchased.
10. Choose a home first because you love it; then think about appreciation. While U.S. homes have appreciated an average of 5.4 percent annually over from 1998 to 2002, a home's most important role is to serve as a comfortable, safe place to live.

One of the best parts of Hattrick, for me, is the fact that you can somehow massively relate to a bunch of fictional players with fictional names and treat them like they're real world players.
Get your own team - we are always looking for new talent!
Lost your password?
Hattrick is a football strategy game where you build and manage your team for the long term. Log in every day or just once a week - if you make the rights calls you have the same chance to be a champion!
Develop your team through training. Manage your finances. Find new players on the transfer market or start your own youth team to foster your own talents for the next golden generation.
You compete against human managers in national leagues and cups. Start in the lower divisions - then climb your way to the top! You can also create private tournaments to play with friends.
The community really stands out in Hattrick! Join our forums and make new friends from all over the world. We have great apps for iOS and Android, as well as a range of third-party software to download.
Hattrick is an online football manager game where you take the role of a manager on a mission to take your club to the top of the league system! You are in charge of all aspects of club management: Buying and selling players on the transfer market, deciding what skills to train on the practice field, preparing a tactical plan for each match your team will play in your national league and cup, such as USA and US Open Cup.
When your match kicks off, your match will be simulated by our system and you can follow the action in our live commentary viewer, and meanwhile chat with your opponent manager! If you prefer, you can watch and analyse the match afterwards instead.
Hattrick is, above all, a strategic football management game where you have to plan for the long term. Should you invest in better youth facilities or spend the money to buy an aging star player that can increase your team performance in the short term? Should you promote talented defenders or attackers in your youth academy?
Choose well, your teenage talents may well be the stars of the teams many seasons from now, maybe even the next Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Kylian Mbappé of the Hattrick universe!
A big part of the excitement is that it is a multiplayer experience - the teams you face are managed by other humans, who will try to outsmart you. There is a rich community that you can dive into to learn all about the best ways to train, set up your team tactics and improve your club financially.
Your star players can even be picked for international duty, playing for the USA national team! Every season, Hattrick organizes a World Cup, either for senior teams or the U21 squads. The current champions of the Hattrick World Cup are Latvija, lets hear it for them!
If you become a great manager yourself, you can stand in the elections to run the national team and be elected into office by your fellow online managers. At the moment, there are 150 national leagues in Hattrick, and you can be a candidate for any of them, even if your own team is in another league.
In Hattrick, there is always something to do, whether be it to hang out in the forums to talk about Hattrick or general football news, or try to find bargains on the transfer market during silly season.
But it is important to know that Hattrick is also a game that you can always play at your own pace. If you spend 30 minutes a week to set your match orders and update the training plans of your team, you will be able to compete and perform well in the main competitions - as long as you make smart decisions.
Unlike many other games, you don't need to log in every day to collect bonuses or gain in-game currency. There is no way to buy in-game advantages in Hattrick. You can instead become a Hattrick Supporter, which gives you a lot of features designed to make the game more fun and interesting, but which include no actual in-game advantages.
Hattrick is the original online football manager game, and we have been online since 1997. The founders are still active and are still committed to offering Hattrick as a free football game.
We feel that Hattrick brings together the best from the traditional computer-based soccer manager game, such as the Football Manager series, but in a more exciting way as you always play against real people.
It also includes aspects of fantasy football games and console football games such as FIFA Ultimate Team, where you collect and build football squads either to play against other users or to collect trophies and achievements.
We bid you a very warm welcome to Hattrick - the best free football manager game out there! It's totally free to sign up, no downloads are required, and you have access to amazing free apps for iOS or Android, through which you can manage all aspects of the game, making Hattrick a premier mobile football game.
But beware, Hattrick can be addictive - many of our users have played for 10 years or more and are still going strong.

Kori: Those things look cool and the foodsaver idea is a really good one! I'd love to have a play with one of those. I've seen people on other kid craft blogs just use paint in a ziplock bag that's been reinforced with tape. They drew with cotton buds so as not to break the bag.
Sheila: I used some quite ancient (pre 1950s J&P Coats) cotton crochet thread that I found in a craft bag at a local thrift store. Crochet thread is nice for the kids to thread with, because it comes in bright colours and it doesn't ravel at the ends that much as they thread with it. - February 12, 2010 at 10:49 PM

Hi! Saw this at crafty crow. I love this! We also made this if you want to see it.

Citing high rates of sexual harassment and female genital mutilation, a new survey finds that women in Egypt face the worst treatment in any Arab country. Other countries with high levels of unrest — Iraq and Syria — are also among the worst for women, along with Saudi Arabia, according to the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
To conduct the study of 22 Arab countries, 336 gender experts were asked questions based on the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women at the end of this summer. The questions dealt with topics ranging from the role of women in politics and business to reproductive rights and violence against women.
The five nations with the best showing were (in descending order) Comoros, Oman, Kuwait, Jordan and Qatar.
The five worst were Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen.
The survey's findings are seen as another blow to women who had hoped that the Arab Spring revolutions would bring more freedom and opportunity. Of the countries that recently had regime changes, only Tunisia (No. 6) and Libya (No. 9) were in the top 10 of the survey's findings.
We'll caution, as the survey's authors did, that it's possible respondents might allow recent events to inform their view of a nation's overall treatment of women.
"It's important to bear in mind this is a perception poll," Thomson Reuters Foundation CEO Monique Villa tells Ahram Online, "meaning it is based on gender experts' perception of women's rights across the Arab League countries."
The data generated a mixed view of Saudi Arabia, where women lack essential rights and routinely face discrimination.
"But Saudi scored better than many other Arab states when it came to access to education and healthcare, reproductive rights and gender violence," writes Reuters' Angus McDowall.
Here's the picture of Egypt depicted in the survey: 99.3 percent of women and girls are subjected to sexual harassment; more than 27 million are the victims of genital cutting — "the largest number in a single country in the world," the authors say, citing a UNICEF study that has also been cited by NPR.
"We removed the Mubarak from our presidential palace but we still have to remove the Mubarak who lives in our minds and in our bedrooms," Egyptian columnist Mona Eltahawy tells Reuters, referring to deposed Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak. "As the miserable poll results show, we women need a double revolution, one against the various dictators who've ruined our countries and the other against a toxic mix of culture and religion that ruin our lives as women."
The news agency notes that all of the nations mentioned above — and all of the nations in the Arab League except Somalia and Sudan — have signed or ratified the U.N.'s convention to end discrimination against women.

Time to explore two of the most common refractive errors: myopia and hyperopia!
Normally, Light Is Focused Directly Onto The Retina
Before we delve into what it means to be nearsighted or farsighted, let's first talk about how a normal eye functions. Vision occurs when light enters the eye and, working together, the cornea and the lens refract light to focus onto a point at the very back of the eye called the retina. The retina converts this light into electrical impulses and sends them to your brain. Your brain then produces an image.
When there are imperfections in the eye that prevent light from being focused perfectly on the retina, a refractive error occurs.
The Way The Eye Is Shaped Can Determine Vision
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, affects nearly 30 percent of the U.S. population. It occurs when light is focused in front of the retina, instead of directly on it.This happens when the cornea is too curved or the eyeball is too long.
People who are nearsighted have an easy time reading, working on the computer and doing other close work. They struggle seeing when driving, reading a whiteboard at school, watching a movie or trying to identify faces from far away.
When an eyeball is too short or the cornea isn't curved enough, farsightedness–or hyperopia–is the result. This causes light to be focused behind the retina, making a farsighted person able to see far away but not close up. Only around 10 percent of Americans have hyperopia, making it much less widespread than myopia.
Those who are farsighted can easily read an eye chart, but may have trouble reading the text book right in front of them. Consequently, farsightedness is often missed in simple vision screenings performed at school. For your next eye exam, come in and get your eyes checked by an eye care professional. We'll not only ascertain your visual acuity but we will also assure that every aspect of your vision health is taken care of.
Everyone Deserves To Have Good Vision
If you have frequent headaches or eyestrain, you may have a problem with your vision. If you already have glasses or contacts and experience similar symptoms, you may just need your prescription updated. So whether you're coming in for some new frames, renewing your prescription, or suspect that something in your vision might be off, we'd love to see you in our office. It's our philosophy that everyone deserves to have good vision!

The Basics of Keeping a Balanced Investment Portfolio
Whether you're brand new to investing or you have an established portfolio, balance is seen as one of the keys to making the most of your investments. But what does a balanced portfolio look like? And how do you keep your portfolio consistently balanced? Here are the dos and don'ts of balancing your portfolio and some helpful tips to potentially increase your returns.
Do: Aim to have a mix of assets
At its most basic level, balancing your portfolio means investing in a diverse mix of assets. But this mix might look different for every person depending on their specific financial situation, risk tolerance, age, and investment goals.
Most of the time, investments are a mix of stocks and bonds. Stocks are considered high-risk investments because they can be very volatile, while bonds are considered lower risk. If you're not sure where to start, a financial professional can help you determine your risk tolerance and develop an investment strategy based on your preferences.
Don't: Set it and forget it
The secret to making your portfolio work for you is to make sure it stays balanced. The value of investments fluctuates over time, so it's important to make sure you are consistently rebalancing your portfolio. Take a look at your investments about once per year and make sure their value still matches your desired balance.
Here's an example: You have 70% invested in stocks and 30% invested in bonds. Over the course of five years, the stock market value has doubled, but the value of the bond market has only increased marginally. Your stocks will be worth significantly more than what you have invested in your bonds, so you may want to rebalance to match your original investment mix of 70% stocks and 30% bonds.
Do: Rebalance yearly
There are a few different ways to rebalance your portfolio. One way is to sell and rebuy assets according to your balance needs. The potential downside to taking this approach is that you could be selling your best-performing assets in favor of lesser-performing assets.
To avoid selling your best assets, the other method to rebalancing your portfolio is to invest new funds into assets. This way, you can keep your high-performing investments and add to the investments that are causing the imbalance in your portfolio instead. Consistently investing more funds into your accounts is one way to grow your portfolio's value over time.
Don't: Keep the same balance over your lifetime
The other advantage of reevaluating your portfolio balance yearly is that you have the chance to change your goals and investment strategies. Whether you're getting ready to buy a house or preparing for retirement, you'll always have different financial goals to reach throughout your lifetime. And while a higher-risk investment portfolio may work during certain phases of your life, there may be times in your life when you want to take a more conservative approach.
If you're looking for more guidance on what a balanced portfolio looks like for you and how to invest your money, reach out to a financial professional for help.
