On the dynamic inefficiency of governments
AbstractWhen the government must decide not only on road public-policy programs (like investment in infrastructure) but also on the provision of group-specific public goods (like regional transfers or subsidies), dynamic strategic inefficiencies arise. I present a model where the struggle between opposing groups -they disagree on the composition of expenditures and compete for government office- results in governments being endogenously short-sighted. As a result, there is a systematic under-investment in infrastructure and overspending on public goods. This results from resources being more valuable when in power than when out of power. Which group wins government office depends on explicitly modeled election outcomes that are functions of economic as well as (exogenous) political preferences of the citizens. I show how different characteristics of the groups involved in the political conflict affect the economy. In particular, I find that more ideologically homogeneous societies have higher capital accumulation and more efficient allocations since there is a greater incumbency advantage. I also find that when there is an average advantage for one group over the other in the political dimension, this group has incentives to act differently in office, even though both groups have the same basic preferences regarding the size of public spending (though not regarding its composition) and the level of investment. The group that loses the elections more often tends to spend a higher share of output on public goods while investing even less than the other group (when in office). This creates economic cycles -that follow the political cycle- introducing fluctuations in real macroeconomic variables without assuming any exogenous productivity shocks

Lynis Shell Skript Checks Unix Security
The first step towards improving a system's security, is discovering the status quo. Lynis, a small command line program helps users do so.
Dutch developer Michael Boelen authored the program, which is based on shell scripts and checks Unix-style systems for vulnerabilities. The program will run from any medium at the command line.
Lynis scans the operating system and installed software searching for security issues as it does. For example, the script checks whether the SSL certificates in use on the system are obsolete. It also checks for obsolete software, threats due to accounts without password protection, and incorrectly assigned file permissions. Lynis also performs diagnostics for your firewall if you have one.
Lynis can't resolve vulnerabilities itself, however, it does help to identify installation issues and existing threats.
On the project website Boelen writes that he has tested Lynis successfully on various systems including Debian 4.0, OpenSuSE, Slackware 12.1, and various Ubuntu releases, FreeBSD, Mac OS X 10.x, and PcBSD. According to Boelen, the script will also check HP-UX and AIX.
For more information and to download the program as a zipped tarball, visit the Lynis website. Lynis is licensed under the GPL Version 3.

Summer's really over…..
Posted: Monday, September 27th, 2010
Speed and Whiz have been in school for a few weeks now but it's only just starting to sink in for me that summer is really and truly over. Every afternoon I'm surprised that my kids really have homework to do. I'm disappointed every evening when I realize ice cream for dinner really isn't an option anymore. And I'm crushed every night after the kids are in bed that instead of sitting by the pool with my husband and a glass of red wine, I'm packing lunches, processing endless papers in backpacks, and creating the next day's "battle plan" for how to get everyone where they need to be, when they need to be there, with the gear they need to have. Summer is really, and truly, and sadly – over.
And with the end of summer came the end of our 2010 Summer Activities Challenge. What a great summer we had with all of you! Almost 3,500 families participated. That's a lot of kids moving their bodies and using their brains instead of spending their summer vacation on the couch watching tv or playing video games.
We'd like to send out a huge "Thank You" to all the parents, grandparents, nannies, day care providers, camp counselors, and other grown-ups in charge of kids who signed up to take the Challenge. We know time in the summer is precious and we appreciate your spending some of it with us.
We'd also like to thank our fabulous prize sponsors:
- Lego contributed weekly prize packs to keep the Challenge momentum going
- Schylling contributed 100 Rocket Balloon sets to reward families who completed the Challenge
- FunJet Vacations contributed our grand prize, a four night family getaway to Cancun with all-inclusive accommodations at the RIU Cancun. Congrats to the Marshall family who won this fabulous trip!
Thanks again to all of you for your participation and support of our 2010 Summer Activities Challenge. See you next summer!

Pearl of the Danube. Heart of Europe. Capital of Freedom. Put these complimentary aliases together and you have one supreme result: Budapest. Clearly, the city has the best sobriquets on the continent. But much more than that, the political, cultural and commercial nexus of Hungary is a spectacular destination. Budapest is simply made to delight tourists and no better proof is at hand than the incredible fact that on average, over 20 million people visit the city every year.
Need more evidence that Budapest deserves a whirl? Held every August, the Sziget Festival is one of the most remarkable music and cultural festivals on the planet. The Hungarian capital is also full of UNESCO charm, with several landmarks on the notable list in one of the "world's outstanding urban landscapes". From the Banks of the Danube to Andrassy Avenue, Buda Castle and the Millennium Underground Railway, the heritage city is a thrill to explore. Check out ten must-see attractions in Budapest.
No other landmark in Budapest soars as high above the city as Saint Stephen's Basilica. The Neoclassical beauty took over fifty years to build and finally opened in 1905. The interior contains remains of the first King of Hungary, who reigned a millenium ago. The panoramic views of Budapest from the lofty dome are phenomenal.
Where all the best stuff, inextricably Hungarian, winds up, the National Museum is a preserver of historical records, objects, art and artifacts. The fine Budapest institution is free of charge and quite near to busy Kalvin Square.
Impossible to ignore, the fabulous, brilliant State Opera House of Hungary rivals that of any other on the continent. Aside from the famous Paris and Milan incarnations, the Budapest opera house has the best acoustics in the world and many famous associations, from Gustav Mahler to native son Franz Liszt. The state opera and national ballet both perform here – both are well worth the price of admission.
Though decimated by the horrors of the Holocaust, with over 400,000 lost, Hungary's Jewish heritage remains vibrant. The benevolence of people like Estee Lauder has led to restoration efforts of major community landmarks, of which the Great Synagogue in Doh?ny Street is the most notable. The remarkable place of worship seats 3,000 people and contains a museum, cemetery and Raul Wallenberg Holocaust Memorial Park.
The Museum of Applied Arts is an Art Nouveau masterpiece on Grand Boulevard, with a resplendent interior and preeminent collection of important works.
A Gothic Revival edifice in the vein of London's iconic Palace of Westminster, the Hungarian Parliament is a massive landmark and symbol of the nation. With a dramatic facade on the Danube, you can hardly beat the location. A tour of the awesome interior is a must.
From 1930 to 1948, Bauhaus was the dominant design in avant-garde Budapest, the remnants of which provide some of the most notable gems on the vast cityscape. These include the Heart of Jesus Church in Varosmajor, St. Stephen's Park and the wonderful Pasaret area of the Buda side of the city.
Built between 1900 and 1906, the Neoclassical Museum of Fine Arts contains a splendid collection of works from every major European period and diverse international art.
Across from the Museum of Fine Arts in historic Heroes' Square is Budapest's magnificent Palace of Art. The facility is simply the most vital and prominent exhibition space in all of Hungary and has been so since 1895.
A worthy UNESCO World Heritage Site if ever there was one, the historic Castle District's glorious lynchpin originates from the late 13th century. Most of what remains today however, was built up over later periods. Buda Castle, no matter what the timeframe, is a marvel, with grand interior halls, priceless works of art and two museums in the Budapest History Museum and Hungarian National Gallery. Reserve at least a day to fully appreciate the most iconic attraction in the city.
Discover the best hotel deals in beautiful Budapest.

Lake Tahoe ski resorts see first snow storm of the season, more on the way
Lake Tahoe ski resorts are celebrating the arrival of the first snow storm of the season, with several inches having fallen and more on the way. Mother Nature's fall delivery sets the winter season in motion for a promising ski and snowboard season.
"It's not unusual to have snow in October," said Chief Marketing Officer Andy Chapman of the North Lake Tahoe Chamber/CVB/Resort Association. "This time of year, weather changes on a dime. Ideally, though, we love to see a few good storms come through this month and next along with cooler evening temperatures. With resorts investing millions of dollars in snowmaking equipment, we can complement what falls from the sky providing a good base, which makes for a stellar ski season."
According to the National Weather Service, snow is predicted through Thursday with heavier amounts falling Monday afternoon and Tuesday – up to two feet at the region's higher elevations. The sun will come out Friday with highs inching back up to the 50s. For updates go to www.GoTahoeNorth.com and www.TahoeSouth.com
Taking a cue from the three to six inches of snow Mother Nature provided South Lake Tahoe on Monday, Heavenly Mountain Resort will fire up the largest snowmaking system on the West Coast when the sun goes down and begin making snow at the top of Gondola, on California Trail and Orion's Run.
Combining natural snowfall, snowmaking horsepower and Lake Tahoe's highest elevation, guests are assured the best, most consistent and reliable snow surfaces when Heavenly opens for skiing and snowboarding on Friday, November 16, 2012.
"Last season, our guests saw how important snowmaking is to the overall ski and ride experience," said Pete Sonntag, Heavenly's general manager. "This early natural snow is encouraging and is, hopefully, an indicator for a big season of snowfall ahead. But, if that doesn't happen, our guests can be confident in our commitment to provide the best possible snow conditions."
With a winter storm warning in effect until Tuesday morning, the forecast for the remainder of the week calls for snow until Thursday, with up to 32 total inches expected in the higher elevations. Historically, almost every year that Heavenly has experienced significant snowfall in October, the following winter was above average. The average October snowfall total is 3.06 inches, with October 2004 experiencing the most recent largest snowfall for the month (24"). The 2004-05 winter recorded the fifth biggest snowfall season on record. With outlets like Accuweather calling for a return to normal snowfall for winter 2012-13, Lake Tahoe's high annual snowfall average should position Heavenly for a big winter.
If Mother Nature doesn't come through as anticipated, under optimum conditions, Heavenly can cover 73 percent of its 97 trails in machine-made snow, by far the most in the Lake Tahoe basin. In more visual terms, Heavenly can produce three-and-a-half feet of snow over one acre in an hour. That's enough snow to blanket a football field with eight-and-a-half feet during an average three-hour game.
For Heavenly updates www.skiheavenly.com. Local storm reports for the first significant winter storm of the season to hit the Sierra can be found at www.wrh.noaa.gov/rev/mapData/lsr.php.

In the richest event on the PGA TOUR schedule, last week's PLAYERS Championship, former Gateway Tour player, Chris Stroud — with his T10 — continued a fine streak of Gateway Alum finishing within the top-10 on the PGA TOUR.
The fourth-year TOUR member and Texas native fired a fine 9-under 279 (70/69/66/74) to earn his first top-10 honor of the year, worth $237,500, which, after making just five of his first 11 cuts this year (with a T21 at the Zurich Classic coming as his best finish), was sorely needed. Cut percentage aside, though, a less than 50% cut-made streak is nothing new for the 28-year-old as he's made just 45/95 cuts of his events entered since his rookie 2007 season. The key to Stroud's success, then — and the reason he's already been able to net over $2.2 million dollars in career earnings — is the consistency of notching two top-10s in each of his first three seasons on TOUR.
Halfway there again in 2010 with this latest — and lucrative — top-10 showing at the PLAYERS, Stroud is on par for another solid and comfortable year on the PGA TOUR, as the season is just now hitting its midway stride. With consistent $475,000+ years in each of his first three seasons on TOUR, Stroud, in fact, has now reached 261st in the official World Golf Ranking, which is his highest mark yet.
So, congratulations and best of luck for the remainder of the season our proud Gateway Alum, as well as to the 12 former Gateway Tour players who currently sit within THE 25 on the Nationwide Tour.
In an astoundingly high percentage, former players, Bobby Gates (1), Martin Piller (2), Kevin Chappell (3), Fabian Gomez (4), Aaron Watkins (13), Brian Smock (14), Gary Christian (15), Mark Anderson (16), William McGirt (17), Daniel Summerhays (20), James Hahn (22), and Andrew Buckle (25) currently hold the coveted spots, of which — at the end of the season — will earn a graduation to the 2011 PGA TOUR.
Holding each of the first four spots in succession, Gates, Piller, Chappell and Gomez also hold the unique and impressive distinction of winning an event this year. Together, they account for 11 top-10s and over $600,000 in earnings in just 32 collective starts this season. Talk about domination!
The Gateway Tour is extremely proud, each and every week, to watch the successes of its former players now thriving on the PGA and Nationwide Tours. It seems a different player breaks out during any given week to realize a piece of their competitive golf dreams since playing The Gateway Tour not long before.
In that regard, it's great to sit back and watch player after player come into the spotlight. But, it's even better to use their motivation to work hard to help our current and future players do the same. Keep it up, guys.
Click here for full field results of the PLAYERS Championship and here for a full breakdown of THE 25, from pgatour.com, and stay tuned as The Gateway Tour Alumni tee it up again this week with the Valero Texas Open on the PGA TOUR, and the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Nationwide Tour…

How to revolutionize tipping and improve service at restaurants.
Instead of tipping at the end of a meal why not post the estimated tip at the beginning and then just add or remove dollar bills (or chips which could be imprinted with the company logo) from the table as you get good or bad service. Waiters know how well they are doing, you get better quality service, and restaurants improve service levels and staffing while delivering truly outstanding service which gets rewarded in real time.

May 17 2011: A really novel and workable idea! Have you been studying Psychology?
It would demand accountability from the payer though. How many people leave their tip and grumble and run away. I think the danger would be in retaliation from the waiter who would resent having his work so clearly judged. (Its really hard to detect when someone has spit in your food!)
May 17 2011: Thank you for the compliment Debra. I am not a Psych major but I am currently looking at going back to grad school in Social Work which is very related. I do think I see life through a different lens sometimes and your post is great fuel for me to realize that people do want to hear what I have to say. Be sure to add me on Facebook.

ATLAS.ti 6.2 New Features
ATLAS.ti 6.2 New Features (FREE Upgrade for all v.6.x Users!)
The foremost professional QDA software has just become yet a whole lot better. The latest update boasts some very innovative and powerful features that we would like to point your attention to. Find the most central changes listed below, or download as PDF document here.
Best of all, this upgrade is once again FREE for all v.6 license holders! To upgrade, simple run the Live Update from the Help menu.
Survey Import
With ATLAS.ti v.6.2, converting the results of a large online survey into a Hermeneutic Unit in ATLAS.ti takes just a few clicks.
This is how it works:
- Create an online survey using, for example, Google Docs (a very convenient tool, although other frameworks are supported as well)
- Export the survey as an Excel table once your respondents have filled out the questionnaire
- Import the table into ATLAS.ti
- Voilà: Each row (= one respondent) becomes a primary document, and content is collected and created. PD families are created from single and multiple-choice questions; quotations are created for each answer and coded with the respective question (you may use abbreviations). What used to be tedious pre-coding work is now done in a few seconds.
And now you can get started with what really matters: Your analysis! It's that easy to work with survey data from nearly any source.
PDF Reloaded
The ATLAS.ti PDF engine – already the most powerful in the business – just got even better. These are the significant improvements that have been implemented in version 6.2:
ATLAS.ti can now handle PDF documents up to version 1.7 (ISO 32000, Adobe Acrobat 8). This should cover virtually all existing documents.
Highly improved performance results in even faster loading, scrolling, searching and auto-coding of PDF documents. Smooth scrolling, zooming, multi-page view and cross-page quotations are now standard.
Look & Feel
Further improvements such as continuous and single page mode, page up and down buttons, and a further refined text selection concept make working with PDF documents even more efficient and smooth.
Navigation Tools
A new bookmark navigator allows you to utilize internal links and tables of contents contained in PDF documents. A thumbnail viewer makes navigating through long documents a breeze when using the scroll bar.
User Interface
You may enjoy the few changes to your familiar user interface:
Margin Area
A new kind of bracket replaces the old thin one. The advantage: Easier recognition of color indicators and easier to point at for menus and drag & drop operations. Additionally, the gradient coloring makes adjacent brackets more distinguishable.
Drop Down Menus
The drop down lists now display the objects images. This makes distinguishing the different types (e.g. documents) easier.
Network Editor
A new, more detailed display mode for network nodes has been introduced. And, very importantly, it is now possible to drag objects FROM the Network Editor.
Additional Improvements:
Font Themes
A new font preferences tab in General Preferences addresses two common issues that users face:
- Option to reduce the number of fonts offered for a specific language
- Allow named sets of fonts (themes) that may serve different purposes: presentation, notebook, etc.
The XML-XSL Converter
ATLAS.ti lets users expand the available functionality by editing or creating "style sheets" that control the transformation of HUs into web sites, rich texts and other representations. For version 6.2 we have taken a few steps towards increased usability. This includes a new and reworked set of style sheets plus a few simple ones that encourage learning to create your own. Also, in the XML Converter tool you will find a new version column that lets you sort the new ones to the top, or to the bottom, whichever you prefer.
Drag & drop FROM the network editor
Up until now, the network editor was only a target for drag & drop operations. Dragging something within the editor was reserved for moving nodes across the network editor's pane. Now, you can move the nodes – or more accurately, the objects they represent – to all possible targets of drag & drop: other network editors
- Selections in the primary document in brackets and objects in the margin
- Targets outside ATLAS.ti, e.g. Word™, PowerPoint™
To initiate a drag & drop operation, you need to hold down the ALT key before starting the drag. You will notice that the node does not move as usual. To drag multiple nodes, which is a little more tricky, you need to hold down both the ALT and the CTRL key before starting the drag. This will transfer all selected objects (you need to select them in advance) to an appropriate target. To receive all the selected nodes, you have to release the CTRL key before dropping (releasing the mouse button).
All kinds of families
Create any kind of family from the nodes in a network view.
New look of the Network Editor
As part of a forthcoming complete revision of the network editor we've introduced a new node look that goes especially well with colored codes. You can select this option from a drop-down menu that is now available with the toggle button in the toolbar.

De Kalb, United ...
For a long time now, I've been obsessed with the Larissa jacket pattern. I just think it's so cool. So a while ago, I finally caved and bought the pattern, and I must say it was money well spent. I am in love with the finished product. If only I could wear it outside and show it off, but alas, this summer had to be the hottest summer of my entire life! :-)

Price Wars Caused by Switching Costs
AbstractIn many markets, consumers have "switching costs" (for example, learning costs or transaction costs) of changing between functionally-equivalent brands of a product, or of using any brand for the first time. The author analyzes a four-period, complete-information model of a market with switching costs in which new entry occurs after the second period. The new entry results, in equilibrium, in a price war. That is, the new entrants' prices are higher in the postentry period than in the entry period, and the incumbent's price falls in either the preentry period or in the entry period and subsequently rises. The author interprets the incumbent's lowering its price in the preentry period as limit-pricing behavior. He distinguishes between two types of price war that can occur, and shows how the type, or mixture of types, that arises depends on the size of switching costs.

It's going around. I've got it. Garry's got it. My best friend is just getting over it. My son had it last week and my granddaughter got it and recovered in a couple of day. If you're a teenager, you get a cold, feel cruddy for a few days, then you're better. No biggie. 50 years later, it's a different ball game.
"How do you feel?" I ask Garry. I can take a good guess but I'm obliged to ask because this is how I express concern. And how he knows I care.
"Lousy," he says. Succinct, to the point. That's why they paid him the big bucks for all those years.
I remember when an inventory of bodily functions would pinpoint problem areas. I could assume everything else was fine, thanks for asking. Standing was one smooth movement, no grunting. I could eat anything that didn't eat me first. I could (did) live on pizza and donuts with a side of diet Coke. It wasn't healthy, but who cared?
We weren't as obsessed with food as everyone seems to be these days. I doubt the current obsession with "healthy and natural" is going to make anyone live longer. Or forever, which is the underlying fuel for the obsession (beat death by eating healthy).
But we're old school. We eat healthy because we like it. If we didn't like it, we'd probably eat junk. It's not a religion, just dinner.
In my 50s, I hiked from the Stop and Shop to our apartment on Beacon Hill carrying 20 pounds of groceries in each hand without breaking stride or breathing hard. Thighs of iron. On days off in the summer, Garry and I walked from our apartment to the Commons, then strolled to the Public Gardens. Rode a swan boat then stopped for dinner. And rambled on home just pleasantly tired.
I don't want a younger brain (the body is another matter). I like my wise old brain, the way my thoughts dodge and weave through the mind's object-linked file system. Each thought evokes a complete set of memories including pictures, music, smells and emotions. Whole experiences recreate themselves as the little electrical impulses fire. Good for you, old brain!
According to the AARP, coffee drinkers are 40% less likely to develop dementia than non-coffee drinkers. I drink a lot of coffee. I always knew it was the best brain fuel. Brew me another pot, would you?

High quality multi-zone commercial audio system on a budgetPosted by Alexander Komarov • Jan 23, 2011 • Category: IT
Surprisingly, these mediocre systems often cost tremendous amounts of money - but there are certainly ways of getting more value out of the audio investment. This is what this project attempts to achieve.
First, let's look at the decision process surrounding the possible options.
Decisions Decisions
Ceiling Speakers
- A ceiling speaker (most of the time) has no cabinet at all, making the open plenum space its (unpredictable) resonator. Some come with fitted cabinets (plastic buckets), at increased cost.
- Another issue with ceiling speakers is that in a typical commercial setting the ceilings are fairly high. This is both bad and good as a distant speaker creates more even coverage (no extra-loud spots), but it needs to be more powerful to reach the people below.
- A ceiling surface is also probably a considerable area to cover for even distribution, which means a large number of speakers.
- Good ceiling speakers exist (in fact, even good impedance-matched speakers exist) but cost a substantial amount. If you are going for the inconspicuous look and ceiling (or in-wall) speakers are your only option, then the extra expense may be justified. Some examples are shown.
WiringThen there is the wiring. A typical speaker has 8 ohm impedance, and impedance drops if you wire speakers in parallel (or increases when wired in series). The reason this is bad is that a regular amplifier cannot tolerate a significant impedance deviation from its normal design target (typically 4,8 or 16 ohms). Lower impedance means that your amplifier is working too hard (likely to the point of a meltdown), higher impedance means that it can't drive your speakers at sufficient volume. Hence there are only a few wiring options that produce a working multi-speaker setup:
- Get a lot of amplifiers. For example, if a small(ish) amp drives two speakers and you have 20 speakers, set yourself up with a nice rack of 10 units, and run 20 wires to the rack. Of course in a hacky set-up you might buy a few low-cost 7.1 home receivers, set them to "All-Channel-Stereo" or similar mode, and drive 7 speakers at a time with each amp, but the idea here is that you drive only one speaker per amplifier channel
- Use impedance-matching transformers. This is the principle of operation in 70V and 100V systems. The idea is that the amplifier puts out a high-voltage signal, but because the voltage is high, the current can be low (and the speaker wire can be thin and cheap).
Also, in commercial environments where wires are pulled through the plenum, all wire typically has to be plenum-rated to meet code. Plenum-rated low-gauge speaker wire is not cheap! Anything plenum-rated is more expensive, and it becomes significant when you need a large quantity - for example, a 1000' spool of 14/2 speaker wire is $300, 16/2 is $200. If you choose to use powered speakers (as I did, see below), 22AWG shielded balanced audio is only about $90 (Markertek) at this time. This is even cheaper than plenum-rated CAT5e.
Amplifiers! Then there are amplifiers. Option 1 requires a lot of weak(er) amplifiers, Option 2 requires fewer (or just one) powerful amp (and thick wire), Option 3 requires one or more 70V (or 100V) amplifier and 70v speakers (and less wire). Either way, can't forget the cost of amplifiers
Cabinet Speakers
The pro's of this type are obvious:
- Matched to cabinet for better sound
- Can be larger as they aren't designed to fit in tight spaces
- Can be optimally positioned (closer to the listener, perhaps)
- A powered speaker is an option which simplifies the amplifier configuration (no amplifier needed)
Of course, these speakers are large(r), visible, and hard to integrate into decor if you're going after a particular look. They will often require wall mounting, or proper mounting from ceilings (flying) which has some liability considerations and should not be done carelessly.
Music SourcesAs we were looking for continuous music in all the zones, we needed a source of music that would ideally be non-repetitive and flexible in genre. We also wanted to avoid copyright issues, naturally. Since in our setup music is largely sourced from the servers, pirated MP3's were not a good choice. For that matter, public playback of a CD is probably questionable as well. The choices boiled down to:
CD player.
This could work, but you need to research copyright issues. You'd probably need a changer, and there is only so much variety that you can get from even 6 CD's
MP3s on hard drive
Same issues as above, except variety is easier to achieve. Legal issues are likely more problematic.
Personal IPods (that come and go)
Legally speaking, this somehow feels safer because of their nomadic nature, though I'm not a lawyer. Practically speaking, this is a human-reliant configuration that's prone to failure - someone forgets their IPod, forgets to plug it in and turn it on, they have some inappropriate content that gets into the playlist, etc.
Internet Streams (free, eg Shoutcast).
While I cannot speak on the legality of this option, the transient nature of streamed data certainly feels better than possession of copyrighted material. RIAA has gone after stream publishers, if I recall, but you'd have research the current state of affairs. As these are free, a lot of publishers include advertising in the broadcasts, and some of the ads may conflict with your business offerings
- Internet Streams (paid, eg Sky FM)
Same as above, minus the ads, and at better quality. Typical bandwidth requirements are 256kbit for pretty good sound (per zone).
- Paid ISP-provided music Streams (eg Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon, etc)
Same as above but without bandwidth requirements. Typically fewer channels. Requires hardware (eg cable boxes) per channel.
- Good old radio
FM or XM is of course an option. For XM, same issues as Paid ISP hardware above.
The Case At HandMy challenge was to design and put together a low cost (relatively speaking) system that would impress people with quality (not by loudness), providing that "beyond expectations" experience. These were my requirements, give or take:
Design Goals
- Quality Sound
- Non-exorbitant pricing
- Multiple Zones. The space is 21,000 sq ft, with the main audio areas being:
- Fitness Floor (7000 sq ft) - must be able to adjust volume of each speaker individually
- Group Exercise (2000 sq ft) - potentially louder than Fitness floor. Some walls are glass, so watch out for flutter echo
- Lobby/Cafe (Tazi's Cafe, incidentally) (2000 sq ft). This area is also to become a mini movie theater in the future. This means that we would have a surround sound setup driven by the projector screen location, and use part of it for everyday music (probably only two speakers).
- Bath/Shower/Changing Rooms - no specific design goals other than having some sort of music in there, more or less evenly covering the space
- Ability to play background music (different channels) in each zone. Channels should be easy to change.
- Ability to plug in microphones, IPod's, etc to any zone temporarily for events
- Ability to send sound from any zone to any zone
- Speakers do not have to be hidden, but should not be ostentatious.
- Set up should be able to support or at least integrate with live performances as needed
- Integration with the (Asterisk-based) phone system (Public Address) would be nice
With this in mind, I made the following decisions:

As long as people keep joining and paying then nothing will get done.
I for one wouldn't give this site a cent
. It's not worth it. Paying to have a sig? I know I have one but I have had sigs and avatars turned off for about 2 months now. Having a sig is the only real benefit. The VIP section is dead apart from a couple of gif related sticky threads. And the only people posting are the ones who want their names changed. If it wasn't for the fact David, Platt and myself would have to do it manually all the time I wouldn't care less if normal members wanted a name change.
Nitemare is the smartest member we've ever had. He didn't want to be under VS's control and left. Something we all should have done about 18 months ago.

Chrome Backlink Analyzer
From today you can see Flow Metrics™ for any URL directly within Google Chrome along with backlink data from Majestic Site Explorer with our new Chrome backlink analyzer extension.
The new Chrome Extension from MajesticSEO embeds link data directly into your browser:
The extension is free and you do not even need an account with Majestic to be able to see the data in the screenshot above for the URL in your browser. So, for any web page you can immediately see:
- The number of links to the web page you are looking at
- The number of links to the domain (and subdomain) that you are looking at
- The number of domains that link to the page you are looking at
- The number of domains that link to the domain (and subdomain) that you are looking at.
- How strong the links are at all these levels (Citation Flow) as a score from 0-100
- How trustworthy the links are at all these levels (Trust Flow) as a score from 0-100
- A link profile chart, which is a graphical representation of the citation flow and trust flow of all these links
- Timeline charts of how this page acquired links over time
So not bad for nothing eh? But the really great news is that assuming you have a modest account with Majestic, you can connect your account with the extension and start to see link detail embedded directly into the extension, so that you do not even have to log into our site to be able to see the link details for any URL.
The main areas of Majestic embedded directly into the extension are backlink detail and anchor text detail surrounding the URL you are browsing, with one click easy access to dig deeper using Majestic SEO tools.
Backlink Detail:
After the summary tab, there is a Backlink tab, which brings in detail about the top 10 inbound links including their strength and anchor text as well as the known first seen and last seen dates.
If you need more links – just click on the link below the table to quickly get to the main Majestic SEO site explore detail.
For those that know Majestic SEO well, we have filtered out a few links here, just to give you the top 10 that we hope you usually want to see. We will, for example, only include the strongest link from any domain. We have also excluded links which were so transitory that we already know they have either been deleted or dropped off the linking page.
Anchor Text Detail
The next tab pulls in the top ten anchor text variations surrounding links to this URL. For most home pages, you would expect this to be variations, a company brand or domain name, but where URL's have a specific theme, generic keywords might start appearing here:
We are pleased that we have also been able to apply our Flow Metrics ideas at the anchor text level. This means that you can not only see how many domains and indeed pages link to the URL you are analysing with any given anchor text, but you can also see the Citation Flow and Trust Flow relating to these links, giving you some approximation about the influence of each anchor text.
Now that's pretty powerful stuff.
Again – you can easily click on the link below the table to dig deeper into the anchor text detail directly on the Majestic site.
Tools Tab
Getting the Majestic extension into Chrome is a no brainer if you use Chrome. But once you have it installed, you can also use it to jump quickly into some of the other tools from Majestic SEO. At one click you can dig into:
- Site Explorer: Increasing the extension data from 10 link to 1,000-10,000 depending on your subscription
- Backlink History: Showing you link acquisition rate for this URL over a 5 year span
- Reports: For those times that you need to see more links than those shown in Site Explorer. Get 20,000 backlinks or even more
- Neighbourhood Checker: To see other domains on the same IP number
- Majestic Million: To see how the domain ranks in the Majestic Million website list (updated daily)
- Bulk Backlink Checker: To let you compare the URL with any others from a predetermined list of your choice.
Options Tab
Here you connect your account (if you have one) to the extension. The extension works just fine without a Majestic SEO account – but you will only see the summary page as the extension needs to pull data through your account to be able to see the link detail.
Here you can also change what Flow Metric you see in the main URL bar of Chrome. By default we show the Trust Flow of each URL (on a red background), but if you would rather see the citation flow, or none at all, then you can switch to these options here.
Battery Counter
The extension does not deplete your resources on your main account at Majestic SEO during normal browsing and the flow metric scores in the image don't "cost" to call. However, when you start pulling actual link detail, you will be slowly using resources associated with your main account. We therefore, have a small battery symbol beside the tabs, to give you an idea of how much of your monthly account you have used. This way, you should not get surprised if you use the extension so much that you find the main account can't keep up. You can always upgrade or simply wait until your monthly allowances are refreshed if you do find yourself using the extension so enthusiastically.
Installing the extension
The Backlinks Analyzer Extension is available now in the Chrome store:

This is great news, but Chrome… Maybe You'll create plugin for Firefox and Opera?
Chrome is the most popular browser used on our site, we'll consider creating plugin for FireFox also in the near future, but Opera is unlikely due to low usage.
> This is a great piece of work, but Firefox would definitely be my preference – too many of the other extensions I use have limitations in Chrome, so when it comes to doing the hard yards, Firefox gets the gong.
Hope the FF version isn't too far away.
> same idea happens to me, hope there would be an addon for the Firefox in the near future, as we spent lots of time to it.
This is fantastic! My biggest annoyance with Majestic was that I had to log in every time I wanted to see that data. Way to be intuitive, Majestic. Downloading the plugin now. And switching to chrome…
Hi MajesticSEO – Thank you! This is awesome. Just downloaded it and testing
Majestic SEO, thanks for this very handy plugin. It will save lots of minutes
Very helpful for Seo perspective thanks Majestic Team!
Very handy indeed.
Silly question:
What is the update frequency for Citation and Trust flows?
Thanks for this plug-in Majestic SEO. Much more convenient. Google Chrome is my favorite and most used browser so I have no issue with the plug-in working with Chrome.
It's very good news that we can easily analyze the back link in chrome. I will definitely use it.
Seo Extension Chrome help me find backlinks competitor so it increase traffic and rank for site. Thanks.
Thanks so much, its a very helpful tool. I'm gonna install it immediately.
Great, but I'am using firefox, so I'am also waiting for this type of tool fo FF. but anyway, great great job guys !:)
Thank you. One more reason to reactivate the chrome browser on my PC.

Wowhead will never steal your account.
I've been web browsing with all scripts enabled for years(adblock aside), and my account hasn't been stolen in the 1 1/2 years I've been playing. Just enable the wowhead script. It saves having to manually click over to wowhead from wowinsider.
That mostly just gives you a false sense of security, have you uninstalled your pdf reader as well? If you haven't updated Acrobat reader in 6-12 months (or so) your computer can be hacked by a malicious pdf link, no need to use javascript for that. If you haven't updated IE6 since you installed it you can get hacked by looking at an image. Etc, etc.
You can also look at it from the hackers point of view, which is easier, to exploit a javascript bug that means they have to find a hole Microsoft or the Firefox team has missed, even though they work extensively with security. Or try to hack a single website (all they need is to find the password for the webserver) and upload a hacked autoupdater.
TL;DR: Always update your webbrowsers, your operative systems and any addins to your browsers (such as acrobat reader). Don't use auto updaters for your addons. And of course, try to be smart about what you install and from where you get it.

Correction: This article previously stated the promotion was only for Friday, Feb. 22 when it will run from March through May.
Are you planning to buy a Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge this spring? Here's a reason to wait until March 1.
DeCozen Chrysler Jeep Dodge, located at 225 Bloomfield Ave. in Verona, is running a three-month promotion to raise money for local schools.
The dealership will announce Friday that it will donate $200 to the Caldwell-West Caldwell Education Foundation when residents of Caldwell or West Caldwell purchase a car from March through May.
The promotion was organized by Michael Cerino, President of the Verona Chamber of Commerce.
The deal is extended to residents of Verona and Verona Schools.
Another way to help out Caldwell-West Caldwell Schools is to attend the Caldwell-West Caldwell Education Foundation's second annual Dancing With Our Community Stars on Saturday, Feb. 23. Fourteen local "celebrities" will be paired with professional dancers to compete for mirror ball trophies and raise money for the school district.

iamamiwhoami Drops New Track, "Rascal," Before Debut Album In June
In what could quite possibly be the slowest musical burn in history, YouTube phenomenon iamamiwhoami is out with yet another track/video from her upcoming album Kin, due out June 11. The song is titled "Rascal," and features singer Jonna Lee frolicking in the desert sand.
When we say "slow burn," we mean slow — when it comes to the art of the extended album reveal, iamamiwhoami is queen. Videos from the mysterious musician started surfacing on YouTube in December of 2009, and started gaining steam after iamamiwhoami sent them to a variety of music bloggers — including writers at MTV.
The project was first launched anonymously — leading writers and fans to endlessly speculate about her identity — until fans finally figured out that Swedish singer Jonna Lee was the woman behind the artful videos.
Over the years, Lee has taken a wholly unconventional approach to promoting her work. Every new release, every bit of news, is presented as a puzzle to solve rather than a packaged announcement. For example, to herald the news that she would play last year's Way Out West Festival in Sweden (her first live appearance), she launched a website announcing the news, complete with a phone number that, when called, played a recording of one of iamamiwhoami's songs. Her first album, Kin, was announced via yet another cryptic YouTube video back in March. She has been steadily releasing new videos/tracks over the last few months for the upcoming disc.
Lee also alerts press to the existence of new tracks in a rather stripped-down way: by emailing them a link to the YouTube video in question, the title of the song in the email's subject line. (That's how we found out about the new vid.) There are no accompanying press releases, no offers of interviews with the artist — nothing. Just a link and a title.
In online terms, two-plus years is a pretty long time to hold the attention of the masses when it comes to unraveling the identity of a reclusive performer. The Weeknd, for example, released his trilogy of mixtapes over the course of a year and has long since started doing live performances.
Still, iamamiwhoami has a rather rabid fanbase — check out the view and comment counts on some of her recent videos — so we imagine that June 11 will be an exciting day for many a Lee lover.

People often accused Razer of being overrated and boring
"All it does is poke the other robot full of holes!"
Yeah, well
All Chaos 2 did was flip shit around
All Storm 2 did was crash into things
All Panic Attack did was drag things into the pit on its lifting spikes
I'm not a Razer fanboy, but I like Razer a lot
It's beautifully made and designed, described as being 'part bird, part reptile'
And, even if it did just poke holes in things, it was fascinating to see how effortlessly it sliced in, and even then it did do other things
It crushed the shit out of Inquisitor, remember?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Before the season University of Louisville guard Russ Smith was not picked as one of the top 15 players in the Big East in a vote of league coaches. Peyton Siva, Gorgui Dieng and Chane Behanan were all picked ahead of him – and they were also listed on the pre-season Top 50 watch list for the John Wooden national player of the year award.
It's time for a recount. Smith is the only U of L player to make the Mid-Season Top 25 list for Wooden Award, which was announced Thursday evening. Smith is one of five Big East players on the list.
Smith is joined by two other local players – Indiana center Cody Zeller and Murray State guard Isaiah Canaan. Two other IU players – Christian Watford and Victor Oladipo – did not make the list, although Watford was a Top 50 selection in November.
The Wooden All-American team will be announced during the week of the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament, and the winner will be announced on Final Four weekend in Atlanta.
Former Kentucky star Anthony Davis won the award as a freshman last season. No Kentucky players made the Top 25 this season. Three freshmen were recognized – Anthony Bennett of UNLV, Marcus Smart of Oklahoma State and Ben McLemore of Kansas.
Smith, Zeller, Michigan guard Trey Burke, Creighton forward Doug McDermott and Duke center Mason Plumlee are considered the top contenders to win the award.
The Top 25 list features a dozen seniors, six juniors and four sophomores.
Here is the entire list:

All Gloria will say is that she is doing it "in an attempt to protect Nadya Suleman's children."

HAMILTON, Ont. -- New stadium, new name.
According to a CFL source requesting anonymity, Tim Hortons has purchased the naming rights for the new stadium being built in Hamilton to stage the soccer event for the 2015 Pan American Games.
There's no indication how much Tim Hortons paid for the rights or the length of the agreement but both the restaurant chain as well as the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats will unveil details of the deal Friday at a news conference.
The Ticats are playing their home games at Alumni Stadium in Guelph, Ont., while the new stadium is being built and is scheduled to move into the new facility in time for the 2014 CFL season.
The new $145.7-million, state-of-the-art facility is being built on the same grounds that the Ticats' long-time venue, Ivor Wynne Stadium, used to stand,
The new stadium, which will reportedly be called Tim Hortons Field, will be home for the soccer competition for the 2015 Pan American Games.
