Bilirubin Direct, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Approximately 85% of the total bilirubin produced is derived from the heme moiety of hemoglobin while the remaining 15% is produced from the RBC precursors destroyed in the bone marrow and from the catabolism of other heme-containing proteins. After production in peripheral tissues, bilirubin is rapidly taken up by hepatocytes where it is conjugated with glucuronic acid to produce mono- and diglucuronide, which are excreted in the bile. Direct bilirubin is a measurement of conjugated bilirubin.
Jaundice can occur as a result of problems at each step in the metabolic pathway. Disorders may be classified as those due to: increased bilirubin production (eg, hemolysis and ineffective erythropoiesis), decreased bilirubin excretion (eg, obstruction and hepatitis), and abnormal bilirubin metabolism (eg, hereditary and neonatal jaundice).
Inherited disorders in which direct bilirubinemia occurs include Dubin-Johson syndrome and Rotor Syndrome. Jaundice of the newborn where direct bilirubin is elevated includes idiopathic neonatal hepatitis and biliary atresia. The most commonly occurring form of jaundice of the newborn, physiological jaundice, results in unconjugated (indirect) hyperbilirubinemia. Elevated unconjugated bilirubin in the neonatal period may result in brain damage (kernicterus). Treatment options are phototherapy and, if severe, exchange transfusion.
The increased production of bilirubin that accompanies the premature breakdown of erythrocytes and ineffective erythropoiesis results in hyperbilirubinemia in the absence of any liver abnormality. In hepatobiliary diseases of various causes, bilirubin uptake, storage and excretion are impaired to varying degrees. Thus both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin is retained and a wide range of abnormal serum concentrations of each form of bilirubin may be observed. Both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin are increased in hepatocellular diseases, such as hepatitis and space-occupying lesions of the liver; and obstructive lesions such as carcinoma of the head of the pancreas, common bile duct, or ampulla of Vater.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of jaundice and liver functions
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Direct bilirubin levels must be assessed in conjunction with total and indirect levels and the clinical setting.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Specimens should be protected from light and analyzed as soon as possible; grossly hemolyzed specimens should be rejected because hemoglobin inhibits the diazo reaction and falsely low results may be seen.
It is important to remember that in addition to the mon- and diglucuronide fraction, the direct bilirubin assay will also measure the delta bilirubin fraction. Delta bilirubin is a conjugated bilirubin that is covalently bound to albumin. Therefore, the clearance of delta bilirubin from the serum is similar to the clearance of albumin which has a half-life of approximately 21 days.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
> or =12 months: 0.0-0.3 mg/dL
Reference values have not been established for patients who are <12 months of age.

Last Thursday I attended New Jersey's VALE Conference, and I wanted to mention a few things I'll be following up on that were directly inspired by my participation:
(1) A few semesters ago a faculty member approached me about getting the resource SciFinder Scholar for our library. Unfortunately we haven't figured out how to justify the expense. I believe it would be about ten thousand dollars for an institutional subscription, but pricing is not usually made public, and I don't see it on their web site. Two-year institutions are not their primary market, either. But after speaking with a science librarian at one of New Jersey's colleges, I now wonder if CAS might be able to work with us to find a solution that would provide some kind of introductory or neutered (also cheaper) version of SciFinder. It's worth investigating, at least.
(2) I'll be doing a presentation to faculty in a few weeks discussing assignments that the library has helped to support. I'd like to cover assignments from both inside the college and out, and at the conference I learned about a great assignment involving Wikipedia. It was being done at a 4-year college, but for first-year students, so I think it will be relevant.
(3) Every institution's library is unique, which is something I knew but which was illustrated starkly by the keynote speaker Brian Mathews, who has worked in several large research libraries. What this can mean for library space is that depending on the users there may be a need to have multiple zones. Although it's a bit obvious upon reflection, the idea that a traditional quiet reading room with comfortable lighting and a no-food policy could exist side by side, instead of competing with, a flashy high-tech collaborative space, was novel to me.
This was my fourth consecutive year attending this conference, and again I found it extremely rewarding. In fact, I've gotten so much out of it that I'm feeling obliged to give back in return. Assuming I do something worthwhile this year, I'd like to to submit a proposal to do a presentation in 2013. I've presented a poster at VALE before, but I've never done a presentation. I think many of the librarians who attend are required to present their work as part of their professional obligations, for tenure when they have faculty status and for administrative advancement when they do not. I do not have a requirement like this for my own position, but I hope I would be encouraged to present my work at VALE.

Those familiar with the background of Black Lillies frontman Cruz Contreras are often struck with a single question when the man opens his mouth to sing:
Why, given the rich baritone that can range from languid to intense, from reverently hushed to brashly bombastic, did it take so long?
Obviously, he's no stranger to music. He is the man who loaned out his initials to Robinella and the CCstringband, which flirted with national fame a few years ...

Wow, it has been a long time since I've posted here. Since I maintain a classroom blog, a professional blog, and also blog for the Louisiana DEN Leadership Council, I just don't seem to have the time to post here as well. However, since I am so excited to share my DENny Award news, I thought I should post it here too.
I have been a Discovery Educator Network (DEN) STAR and part of the Louisiana DEN Leadership Council since 2009. As part of this wonderful organization, I have participated in so many wonderful events sponsored by Discovery Education including Day of Discovery in Silver Springs, Maryland and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the DEN Leadership Council Symposium in Boston, the DEN Summer Institute in San Diego, and virtual conference days every fall and spring since I joined.
On the evening of May 17, at the fourth annual DENny awards, I was honored with a PL DEN Award for my 365 Day Project. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the live presentation of the awards, because I was helping prepare for our annual Parent Volunteer Breakfast which was being held at my school on Friday, but I would like to say how truly honored I am by this award. Below is the recording of the DENny Awards. (Mine starts at 9:27.)
When I got home Thursday night I found out via Twitter that I had been honored with a DENny Award.
I would like to thank Discovery Education and the DEN for this honor. I would also like to congratulate all of the other DEN members who received DENny Awards for 2012. I am inspired by all of you.
(Note – I crossposted this on on Louisiana DEN blog.)

I have no idea what the Rockets have offered. The rumors during draft time centered around their picks, and their efforts to obtain two top picks to entice the Magic. Obviously they didn't manage to do that but they do have a bunch of young talent.
To me the players the Nets are offering are nothing but useless baggage, with the possible exception of Brooks. What's the point in being a good lottery team centered around the vast mediocrity that is Lopez? I'd prefer to follow the path of Cleveland or Toronto, hold onto Howard and offer him up in a sign and trade for a couple first rounders next offseason. In the NBA if you're going to lose its better to really stink up the joint and go for one of those top picks, not struggle to eek out 40 wins and hope you land the 1% of those late first rounders that make it big.
Either get a potential franchise player like Bynum, go the Denver route and get some young talent, or just trash the whole thing and try for a guy like Noel next year. Everyone had given up on the Cavs and Raptors as lost causes two years ago....look where they are now. Irving is a star in the making surrounded by 4 other guys in their early 20s. The team may suck but its exciting for the fans to watch the players grow and they have something to look forward to. If Toronto can get a couple years out of Nash like what we saw last season they'll be one of the most entertaining teams in basketball. To me its much better to go this route than try to be the Bucks or Sixers or Hawks or Pacers trying to build some middling starless team that will never contend for a title.

If he clears waivers, I wouldn't mind Miami sniffing around him. Imagine Marshall, Moss and Bess on the field at once. WOW. Doubt it happens, but it would be nice even if Moss were to be here for only the rest of this season.
have no idea,but i doubt he will fall to us. jeff has the balls to do it. tuna isnt here to stop it
I agree.. Get this deal done!
moss, marshall, and bess in the slot. you cant dbl team both moss and bmarsh. it would be crazy. to bad it probly wont happen

The awnings are up for two new stores: 1. Eyeglasses 99, in the old Metro PCS at 266 Kingston at Lincoln. It appears to be the second branch of an eyewear store on Coney Island Avenue in Midwood. 2. Unique Enterprises, an Internet café, recording studio, and graphic design shop at 241 Kingston between St. Johns and Sterling, in what used to be half of a shipping company. I also saw some activity a few weeks ago at 139 Kingston, next to the bodega near the corner of St. Marks, but nothing since. Anyone heard anything?
266 Kingston, now Eyeglasses 99
241 Kingston, now Unique Enterprises
139 Kingston
Spoke to the owner of 239-241 Kingston. The internet place is going in 241 and the antique store that was closer to E.P. is going into 239. Says the internet cafe should be open 9/1.
I'm interested in seeing whether an internet cafe survives.
In much of NYC, the populace has internet access and desktop computers, and the cafes have closed. Some people just bring their laptops to the local coffee shops and use the wifi there.
...will there be enough people on Kingston who don't already have internet access and don't own laptops, yet have the $ to pay for it on occasion that they support an internet cafe?
Not so much to access the internet but you'd be surprised how many people come into my office and ask me to print stuff for them (which I don't do) so the money to be made might come from printing resumes and such that are on peoples' thumb drives.
That could work.
I have a sense that those mutli-service centers (the ones that help folks fill out basic forms, and navigate public agencies), perform a vital role.
Although I see them mostly in immigrant neighborhoods, I bet a hybrid one could work on Kingston, as one approaches Atlantic.
The idea of opening an internet cafe seems very late 90's/early 2000s to me, but I'll reserve judgement until it opens and I can see what they have to offer. In general, I think that the more new businesses coming to Kingston Ave, the better!
Nothinglike states it is actually going to be "an Internet café, recording studio, and graphic design shop".
So, something like Kinko's used to be, but with music?
I don't know why, but I was assuming the Internet cafe would make most of its money from graphic design, doing party posters and fliers like the shops on Utica. FYI, the awning also says CD Duplication, Avon Products, and Fashion Jewelry.
Here's a pic of Eyeglasses 99 from about a month ago. They were open for business almost as soon as the awning went up.
I have got to hand it to Metro PCS. It pays top dollar to renovate storefronts, which it then closes and leaves for future tenants.
Very nice of them.
We may have an answer to what's going on at 139 Kingston. A note posted on the gate says the day care is closed from 9-23 to 9-27 because it's under construction. I've never seen any sign of a day care there but some googling turns up a yeshivah yeshvos chaim school at that address.
By the way, "For Rent" signs are up at 106 Kingston between Dean & Bergen, 237 Kingston (the former record store) between Sterling & St. Johns, and 257 Kingston (the former barber shop) between St. Johns and Lincoln, so hopefully we'll have a lot fewer vacant storefronts soon.
An older guy on the street told me it'll be the first time the record store's been rented out in the last 15 or 16 years. The security gate's been up recently for the first time in at least the last two years and I was able to catch a pic of the old-school pay phone in the entryway, which has since been removed.
That site looks like a time capsule! I hope they find a LL Cool J record from 1989:
The awning is now up for the day care center at 139 Kingston.
And a work permit for the demolition of 287 Kingston appeared on its construction fence last week. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise since you can see the sky through the windows.
I wonder if they are going to keep the facade, but add on a few stories.
Looks like we're getting our second real estate office for the year. Noticed work earlier this week at 1028 Lincoln Place, just off Kingston (next to Basil). Seems to belong to this company: http://brooklynnybpo.com/
I haven't heard of them before, but hope they have the capital and drive to become the next MySpace.
MySpace was quite small a few years ago.....
BTW, MySpace has the listing for 237 Kingston, the former record store:
1000 sq ft, $3k a month
The internet café/recording studio/gift shop at 241 Kingston, Unique Enterprises, opened at the end of November. Its grand opening flier lists cassette and VHS conversion, computer repairs, party favors, and phone cases among its many products and services. From what I can see, the front area is set up as an internet café on one side and variety store on the other.
Since MySpace took over the listing for the old record store at 237 Kingston, it's been totally gutted and even got a new glass storefront.
Workers were carrying debris out of the old barber shop at 257 Kingston this morning -- first time I've seen the awning up in a while.
And there's one new space to add to the "for rent" list: 267 Kingston between Lincoln and St. Johns. The awning says In Touch Blue Inc. furniture, but it was never open in the last 2-1/2 years. Recently a sign was added explaining that it's the showroom for Brooklyn Value Center, the discount store across the street.

En español | Life is complicated, but it turns out death is complicated, too.
Winding up the lifelong financial affairs of a deceased loved one often requires generous amounts of patience, free time and organizational smarts. The skills of a sleuth may be needed to uncover assets tucked away or forgotten. And even then, things are sometimes missed.
It's natural to feel honored if a friend or relative asks you to serve as executor, or personal representative, as the position is also called. If the person is near death, the urge to say yes is all the more pressing. But given the complexities of the role, it's crucial that you take it on only if you feel fully capable. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you do.
1. Do you have the time?
When her mother died in 2011, Susan Crim had no idea that it would take nearly two years, as executor, to close out the estate. Wrestling with paperwork, faxing documents and traveling from Virginia to consult with legal and financial experts became a way of life as she grappled with a confusing bureaucracy. "I was grieving," says Crim, 59. "It was challenging." Then last February, just two months after she settled her mother's affairs, her father died. And her duties as an executor began all over again.
Phone calls, trips to the county courthouse to record financial information, standing in line at the post office to mail registered letters — these and countless other tedious duties may await you. You'll need to have information from banks, mortgage servicers, investment firms, life insurance companies and all other firms that had a role in the deceased person's holdings. Among the more grueling tasks, you may be called on to sort and value the contents of the person's home.
"Often, it's 50 years of accumulation," says Harry Margolis, an elder law attorney in Boston. "Trying to figure out which family members want which items — how do you choose among them? How do you take care of their interests and make sure they're treated fairly?"
2. Do you have the skills?
Being an executor requires a high degree of organization. One executor recalls keeping a notebook and recording every single communication with lawyers, bankers and other contacts.
"People who can't balance their own checkbook, who have financial difficulties of their own, who have no idea how to organize financial information, people who don't like detail — those are not good candidates," says Sally Hurme, a lawyer at AARP and author of the American Bar Association's The ABA Checklist for Family Heirs. Like a private eye, you may have to know how to dig for assets. Finding dusty stock or bond certificates in a drawer, rather than at a brokerage firm, may be a clue there are more awaiting discovery.
3. Do you have the temperament?
As you sort through legal and financial matters, you'll confront a range of personalities, so it helps to be calm. Min Zwang, 84, initially appointed all four of her children as executors when she created her estate plan. But she began to question that decision and recently changed her will. She named one daughter as the sole executor to help the process go more smoothly.
The daughter is easygoing, Zwang says, and she's married to an accountant, whose skills would be helpful. "It's a tremendous burden I'm putting on her, and I realize that," says Zwang, who lives in Toms River, N.J. "I tried to make it as easy as possible by dividing everything equally. I don't want there to be any disharmony."
Some lawyers say it's best to appoint one executor, as Zwang did. But Anthony Enea, chair of the elder law section of the New York State Bar Association, advocates choosing at least two children. "It creates a system of checks and balances," he says. "If you pick one child, it gives that person a lot of power and discretion. But it depends on the family dynamics. There's no set formula."
To keep peace and create trust, it's important that the executor settle the affairs openly, says elder law attorney Margolis. "What you're doing, how much money is there, what's happening in the process — the more transparent you are, the more [the other siblings] will relax."
4. Do you know the rules?
Each state has specific laws on executors' responsibilities, along with timetables for them to perform their duties. Paying the funeral expenses, publishing death notifications and filing estate tax returns are a few examples of what might be required. Your state may have an online law library that details the rules and requirements. The American Bar Association website also offers guidance about settling an estate — search online for "ABA guidelines for individual executors and trustees."
Many executors find certain tasks so daunting that they consult lawyers for help. Others hire lawyers to manage the entire process, which is of course much more expensive. Either way, you need to follow the law strictly — you are personally liable for the proper administration of the estate. If you misrepresent the value of any assets, you could be held accountable by the IRS or by the beneficiaries. If you're found to have shortchanged the heirs, you could be required to reimburse them out of your own pocket or pay fines.

Mark Sanchez is a decent QB. The Jets were pummelled by a rash of injuries. Signing Tim Tebow was a huge distraction and the hiring of Tony Sparano wasn't helping the Jets either, yeah you know the guy that coached for the other team, I mean us, mocking Sparano wouldn't even acknowledge he once worked for us.
Next season is a new season.

For Menopausal and perimenopausal symtoms. I had difficulty sleeping and would wake up in the night with anxiety and panic attacks. While DHEA helped alot, the progesterone cream (natures bounty 480 mg) just a finger tip or two spread on my abdomen helped me sleep through the night and left me calmer through the day. If you are having mood swings and difficulty sleeping due to menopause, this really helps.

No, you can't catch her. As a Vanguard, I used Charge to stay within 0-5 meters of her through the entire chase with no effect. She will always reach her shuttle and trigger the cutscene that follows.
No it is impossible to "catch" her during the chase as what what follows is part of the storyline.

Round 20 - Brazil 23-25 November 2012

Circuit Length:4.309 Km
Lap Record:1:11.473 = 217.038 km/h, J. Montoya (Williams) 2004
2011 Results
Pole Position:Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault); 1:11.918 = 215.695 km/h

3rd:Jenson Button (McLaren Mercedes), 27.638s behind
Fastest Lap:Mark Webber (Red Bull Renault), 1:15.324 = 205.942 km/h on lap 71
It's the 20th and last round of F1's longest-ever season – and the title fight is still alive. No time to catch their breath after an amazing debut event in Austin, and they head now for a place where the engines themselves find it hard to breathe. Interlagos, at around 875 metres, is the highest track on the calendar. For every 100 metres the engine, drawing in less oxygen, loses around one per cent of its power – and it's a place where you need that power.
The main feature of the popular Interlagos track is the long uphill drag from Turn 12 to the start/finish line. With less help from the atmosphere, the engine is looking for the car's handling and aerodynamics to lend a hand. That's not to say Interlagos is slow: the average race speed is around the 200 km/h mark, while Mark Webber's fastest race lap in 2011 was clocked at 205.942. It's a short lap at 4.309 kilometres, with 10 left-handers and five right, and it's the fifth and final anti-clockwise venue of the year.
As if you needed telling, Sebastian Vettel heads into the race with a 13-point lead over Fernando Alonso. Red Bull, already constructors' champions, has won at Interlagos for the last three seasons: Webber has finished 1-2-1 in those three, Vettel 4-1-2. But in the three previous seasons the Brazilian race belonged to Ferrari: two wins to Felipe Massa and one to Kimi Raikkonen in his title-winning season in 2007.
So let's turn to the normally tight-lipped Finn first. "There is no doubt about it; the greatest day of my career came at Interlagos when I won the World Championship in 2007 and that means I have very fond memories of this place," says Kimi. "All in all it has been good to me. I have finished here every year since 2003 and been on the podium five times. Actually, in 2003 they gave the winners' trophy to me but afterwards it turned out I only got P2. I have lived some of the best moments of my life at this circuit, and that's something nobody can take away. That's why it is one of my favourite places to go back to."
Red Bull will arrive in Interlagos with a small question-mark in their minds over the ongoing alternator problem which has eliminated Vettel twice this season and ended Webber's race in Austin prematurely. Word is that they will try yet another solution for Brazil – which means Vettel may be vulnerable to mechanical failure. That's not something that has worried Alonso in 2012 as Ferrari has contrived to provide a bullet-proof car. Its only drawback is that it's comparatively slow…
"Brazil is a great way to finish the year," says Webber. Not surprising, given that the Aussie has won twice there in the last three years, but that's not the reason he gives: "It's one of my most favourite weekends because of the history with the drivers they've had; Senna, Piquet and Fittipaldi, these guys did a huge amount for the sport. Interlagos is a legendary circuit, it's got a great atmosphere, there's always been a bit of drama and also there is always a bit of weather floating around." Yes there is: the forecast for 2012 is for rain throughout the weekend, some of it predicted to be a tad extreme…
One man with mixed feelings might be Felipe Massa: the little Brazilian has won twice at Interlagos for his home fans, but in Austin he "took one for the team", as Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali put it, over his gearbox replacement and he may be asked to make another sacrifice if Sunday's race starts to fall Alonso's way. "I think Felipe is going back to his normal shape," added Domenicali, referring to Massa's racing rather than his physical form. "He can make the difference; he can help Fernando to stay connected to the title until the end."
Another with contrasting emotions will be Lewis Hamilton. The McLaren man produced one of the finest races of his life to win in Austin and will be all the more determined to repeat that performance in Brazil in his 110th and final appearance for the team. "As my final race behind the wheel of a McLaren, I vow to the whole team that I'll give it my all on every single lap," he says. "My win in Austin last week was one of the races of my life, and I'd love to take victory in Brazil this weekend to give the team the perfect farewell present." McLaren haven't won in Brazil since 2005. Look for strong farewell efforts from Nico Hulkenberg, leaving Force India, and Sergio Perez, having his last outing with Sauber, as well.
Last but not least, it's interesting to consider the Raikkonen phenomenon again. In his comeback year the Finn has yet to record a DNF; in contrast with Michael Schumacher, who leaves the sport for good after this weekend, his return has been an unqualified success. "Our record shows that the team can build a reliable car and that I know how to drive it," says Raikkonen, whose radio message in Abu Dhabi is already part of F1 folklore. "The last round of the season means that it's the last chance to enjoy that feeling for some time. That's what a driver loves; to put a helmet on and go racing. Every time I get in the car I want to fight for victory and this is no different; I want to celebrate a good result with the team in Brazil. That would give the best feeling for the winter and also for next season." For once, Kimi said it…
* Giancarlo Fisichella (Jordan) was declared the winner of a 2003 Brazilian GP foreshortened by torrential rain. The trophy was handed over at the next race in Italy!

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by John Pollard Alpine's SBR-S83V ported sub enclosure gives you the bass your system has been missing without taking up the valuable storage space you need. This enclosure is tuned by Alpine's experts to give you impressive bass with minimal power requirements. Powerful 8" Type-R sub Alpine loaded the SBR-S83V with an 8" Type-R subwoofer, a line of speakers known for their serious bass performance. They created the ported, high-quality MDF enclosure as a perfect match for the sub, guaranteeing maximum punch while maintaining a very small profile. Slim box makes placement easy The SBR-S83V comes in at only 6-5/8" deep so you can install it in a convertible's trunk, behind the seat in your standard cab pickup, and in many other problem vehicles. Carpet protects the enclosure from nicks and scratches, while a metal grille protects your sub from flying objects and other hazards in your car.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I was looking for a sub woofer to really bring out the bass guitar in rock music and found it with this unit from Alpine. It also adds some very nice bump for hip hop, electronica or what ever else I send it's way. The enclosure is fairly compact, but definitely will not fit under the seat of my Subaru Outback so I sacrificed the space behind the driver seat on the floor board and it fits like it was built for it! What really sold me on this unit was the frequency response of 400 HZ. Many of the enclosures I was looking at were rated at 200 or less. The grill over the speaker was also very important due to where I was installing it. This sub woofer has completely brought my system to life by allowing me use the high pass filters on my 5 channel amp and send all of the bottom end to the sub, where it belongs, freeing the door speakers up to take care of the mids and high end. Pros: Great frequency response!!!! Protective grill over speaker. Fairly compact size. Cons: This enclosure has no mounting gear with it, at least not in the "open box" unit I bought. Was this review helpful? Yes No Good Price, good sound Written By Neal, Minneapolis, MN on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Sub running on ~350 Watts from a Kenwood XR-5S 5 channel amp and an Alpine HU. Alpine type S through the rest of the car. Took some fiddling with gains and cross overs to get it right, but was totally worth it. This sub has nice sound quality. Tight punchy bass that's great for all types of music at any sort of reasonable volume. If you want the neighbors to hear your dubstep wubs, go for something bigger, but this sub is about as much as the interior trim can handle in my Mazda Protege 5. Plus its nice and small so I still have room for stuff in the hatch. Plus I bought the "scratch and dent" so it was super cheap. Crutchfield wins again. Pros: small size, good price, excellent sound. Cons: Very minor, and not really directly related to the quality of the sub, but you will have to turn some dials to get it to blend smoothly. Wont blow out your windows (if that's what you're in to). Was this review helpful? Yes No Lots O' Bass, Little Package Written By ScotC, Las Vegas, NV on Tuesday, April 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value First off, I'm not a bass-pounding, thump your neighbors windows type of guy. I like bass, sure, but I don't want my car bouncing on it's springs as I sit at a stoplight. This little baby fits the bill perfectly. Installed in a '05 Mustang GT trunk, vertically between the rear deck lid and the floor of the trunk. Hardly takes up any room at all, giving my 95% of my trunk space to work with. Paired with an Alpine PDX-V9 amp this sub pounds out the bass. I can feel it in my bones, but the bass levels don't rattle the structure of the car so you don't hear residual shaking that distracts from the music. For anyone who enjoys the music, this sub and enclosure are perfect if you give it enough power. Pros: Tight, punchy bass without rattling the windows. Great compact size that will give you your trunk space. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Not 2 ohms!! Written By Graham, Orange County, CA on Sunday, September 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received this sub and to my surprise it was labeled as 4 ohms. I then measured with a multimeter and sure enough, it is 4 ohms. I wouldnt actualy care except the amp I bought was selected for 300 WRMS @ 2 ohms and only 150 W @ 4 ohms. So, now it seems that I am at full gain on the amp and wondering if I need to exchange it for something with more power. According to Alpine, this enclose is supposed to have a SWR-843D sub with 4 ohms + 4 ohms DVC wired in parallel. My suspicion is that Alpine is actually installing their SWR-823D (2 ohms + 2 ohms) in series to give the total impedance of 4 ohms. Pros: Build quality seems very nice Cons: Marketing / literature Crutchfield response on Tuesday, October 02, 2012 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase. 6 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome compact sub Written By Milky, Atlanta, GA on Monday, August 27, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I have 2 of these in the spare tire well of a 2013 Mazda CX-5 hidden under the rear floor. It's like these were made to fit there, I get great sound and keep all my trunk space. In case of flats I have a small compressor and tire plugs with me. Back to the sub, I have 2 of them running paralell on a Polk PA D5000.5 subwoofer channel at 1ohm the amp puts out 500w so I'm running 250w each with the subsonic filter around 28hz. They sound great down to about 28hz but will bottom out at higher volumes below that. Before these I had a MB Quart 12" in a sealed box and these are just as loud but have better SQ. If you want people to hear you 2 blocks away go with something bigger but if you want a small stealthy subwoofer that doesn't take up your entire trunk this one is awesome. Build quality is great and I have had zero problems from them so far. They sound great with all types of music, especially fast rock music (Yes they keep up with double kick drums). Source is from the OEM radio running through an Audiocontrol LC6i then to the amp and it sounds clean with focal components in the front and coaxes in the rear. Pros: Compact size, really hits the higher bass well, good power handling, DVC Cons: A bit weak below 28hz or so but for it's size that's ok 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great for a truck! Written By DRobinson784, Wells, Me on Friday, August 17, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Installed this in my 2012 F150 FX4 Supercab. Powered with a 400 watt alpine mono amp. Fit under the seat nice. Sounds great along with the alpine type R 6 x 8s I put in and amped. In a car It wouldnt quite cut it, but in my truck it feels like a 12" sub. Very nice deep bass. Pros: Small, great quality box, sounds great. Cons: None so far! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No impressed! Written By Aaron, Calgary, AB, Canada on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value For such a small package this thing really fills in the low end and brings some serious punch! I have one hooked up in the back of a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. It takes up virtually no space (I have it wrapped up in a black pillow case as I am paranoid of people seeing it). I was hesitant that I wouldnt hear much of a difference due to it being so small and having such a large vehicle. But seriously, this thing has really impressed! Blends perfectly with my polk mm6501 components and brings the low end i had been missing. excellent purchase for those looking for a compact solution. For what I was looking for, I think two would be over-kill. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The Audience is Listening! Written By KSparkuhl, Nampa, ID on Friday, May 11, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I purchsed the Alpine SBR-S83V, enclosed subwoofer to compliment a new premium sound system. While the stock sound system in my 2004 Olds Alero was passable for everyday listening, I had no idea what I was missing out on with my stock sound system. My first thought was, "...so this is how bass is supposed to sound in a car!" To say that I'm impressed is an understatement! I wanted to get more bass back into my sound without rattling every bolt in the chassis, and this Alpine sub fit the bill nicely. The bass is clean, tight and deep, all wrapped up in a good-looking design. The interior of the Alero has little room for adding a subwoofer. An underseat sub was an option, but I was limited to minimal clearances under the seat. So the trunk was my next option, but I didn't want to take up too much cargo space. That's when I found the Alpine SBR-S83V. It's compact design fits perfectly behind my fold-down rear seats and only takes up a fraction of the space. I connected the subwoofer to an Alpine MRP-F300, four-channel amplifier, fed by a JVC KW-R900BT head unit. The rear speakers are powered with channels one and two at 50w RMS, and channels three and four are bridged together to power the subwoofer at 150w RMS, and the front speakers are powered by the head unit. My car audio has never sounded this good before! The audience is listening... again! Pros: Clean, tight and deep bass in a compact size. Tuned and ported to 30 Hz! Cons: Retail is a bit pricey. In my opinion however, it's well worth the money if you can't find if for less elsewhere. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Punchy for it's size Written By Mike G, Oregon on Tuesday, May 08, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I've only had this installed for a few weeks now so I'm still getting a feel for it but so far it is very impressive for it's size. It is in my 2008 regular cab Toyota tundra. I have it running bridged off the two rear channels of a Alpine PDX F4 amp. Because this amp and lots of others is not 2-ohm stable bridged I had to pull the sub out of the box and reconfigure the jumpers to be wired in series for an 8 ohm load. It would be nice if Alpine offered this package loaded with a SWR-823D driver so you could get a final impedence of 4 ohms bridged, but they don't. Regaurdless, this little slugger does alright at 8 ohms with about 250w. One other thing to consider is if you are going to power it with an amp that does not offer a subsonic filter (like mine) I would strongly suggest you get some 30 hz inline high pass filters before your amp like the fmods. You don't want this thing bottoming out below 30 hz. Overall I'm happy. For a ported enclosure it comes across very musical and tight unlike many others that just sound loose and sloppy. It does not have the output of the JLw6 I had running off of the PDX.6 mono I had in my last truck, but considering the size, price and power I'm giving it it does alright by me.. I'm surprised there is not more feedback or reviews on the web which is exactly why I put this up, since I did not buy mine from Crutchfield. I have also noticed that most retailers have been out of stock on this for awhile which has me thinking it might have been di Pros: Small, Ported, Punchy, Nicely Designed, Musical, Nice grill. Cons: Only offered with 4 ohm DVC woofer. Must remove subwoofer to remove grill. Only 3/8" MDF on most of enclosure. Retail is a bit on the high side. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sub/enclosure combo Written By Jay, South Florida on Monday, April 09, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought this to replace the stock sub in a 2012 Kia Soul. I have it sitting right in the back next to the hatch, firing up. I am powering it with an Alpine MRP-M500 amp. It sounds great. It has a very accurate response to whatever I am playing. It sounds great with rapid fire double kick drums from bands like Lamb Of God and Chimera. It also handles the low stuff like Young Jeezy and Biggie. If you want a niceeven bass response, but still want to have some room left, then I would recommend this sub. Pros: Size, build quality, frequency response. Cons: Alpine suggests using a 30Hz subsonic filter with this sub. It's not really a con per se, but just something that needs to be mentioned. If you don't have one built into your amp, then look around Crutchfield for the FMod filters. They will do the trick. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Best small sub+box combo Written By BazookaJoel, Arvada, CO on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I was able to install this unit under the front seat of a Suzuki Sidekick 2-door convertible; not exactly a lot of room. Sticks out the back under the seat just a little. With the floor mat, you can't even see it. Now on to the most important aspect....the sound. I previously had two 6" Kicker Substations; great sound, and very little space taken up. The Alpine extends quite a bit deeper, has quite a bit more output, seems to have very smooth frequency response (no obvious peaks in the bass), the mid-bass is much cleaner, and it's slightly larger than ONE Substation. This sub makes the mids and hi's sound MUCH better. From Adele to Audio Slave to The Roots, the Alpine sounds great in each situation. I am feeding the Alpine 200 watts from a small Fosgate mono amp, and it's more than enough bass to bump such a small vehicle. You're not going to vibrate the car to pieces or hear it too far outside your vehicle, but MAN!.......what great sound for the people inside your car. You can spend alot more for a larger sub, but you're NOT going to get better sound. Thank you Alpine! Pros: Sound quality! Bass extension. Size (this thing is small!) Cons: Not-carpeted surfaces seem to scratch if you breathe on it. The wood used seems pretty light weight, but it doesn't seem to effect the sound at all. 6 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Type-R(s) Written By RichardL, Santa Fe NM on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I just installed two of these in my 2011 Nissan Xterra, they sound great! They hit the low LOW frequencies even though they're only eights. They are also very loud, and you can definitely feel it throughout the vehicle. I have them connected to a Kenwood KAC-7205 amp, which is pushing about 250 watts to each one, i'm positive they'll handle more, but it seems to get the job done. Pros: The build, and sound quality, the size, they're LOUD!! Cons: The price was a little steep, but well worth it. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The enclosure, tuned to 30 Hz, is made from 3/8" MDF (3/4" for the front baffle) with internal bracing to ensure structural integrity. A single pair of spring post terminals on the left side of the enclosure accepts pin connectors, single or dual banana plugs, or bare wire up to 12-gauge. The sub's dual voice coils are wired in series to present a 4Ω load. Alpine recommends using a 30 Hz subsonic filter for best results. SWR-823D Subwoofer: Kevlar Reinforced Pulp Cone: This Type-R subwoofer has a two-piece structural parabolic Kevlar reinforced pulp cone. Kevlar adds strength and tear resistance to the woofer cone while maintaining the damping benefits of a pulp cone. There is also an oversized inverted dust cap of the same material, which increases rigidity and virtually eliminates distortion at extreme volume levels. HAMR: The woofer features a High Amplitude Multi Roll Surround (HAMR), made of injection molded Santoprene. The HAMR design allows extreme excursion without sacrificing valuable cone area. FEA Optimized for linearity and made with injection-molded Santoprene, the HAMR surround is a key part of the suspension system that allows extreme excursions with accurate, distortion-free control. Spider with Reinforced Layer Spider Integration: An FEA optimized progressive Nomex spider with reinforced layer spider integration ensures reliable and consistent control of the tinsel-leads to eliminate any possible mechanical noises or interference typical of many high-excursion designs. Vented VC Heat Sink and Airflow Management System: Alpine's Patented Radial Vented VC Heat Sink and Airflow Management System actively manages voice coil temperatures by forcing air directly across the heat sink system. This helps to minimize power compression and ensures reliable long playing time by actively removing output-robbing heat from the voice coil. The new one-piece cast aluminum frame with integrated shorting sleeve uses the entire frame as a heat sink, allowing sustained power output and handling, even in the most extreme applications. Optimized Motor Structure: Thanks to its new six-piece, segmented, double stacked magnet structure, the new Type-R subwoofers have over 20% more motor force than their predecessors, offering more control over cone movement. The optimized machined motor structure also creates a symmetrical magnetic field while optimizing flux density to greatly reduce distortion, while further improving power handling and output. Pole Geometry: Alpine's patented Compound Radius Curve pole geometry ensures a symmetrical magnetic field, while optimizing flux density to reduce distortion, while further improving power handling and output. Oversized Voice Coil: The 40mm high-temperature (180°C), 4-layer dual voice coil offers more surface area to handle more power; 300W RMS / 1000W Peak.

Love & Theft's Eric Gunderson became a dad on Sunday, with his baby boy making an unexpected arrival about two months earlier than expected.
"Eric and his wife Emily are thrilled to announce the birth of their handsome new addition, Camden William Gunderson," Gunderson's record label released in a statement. "He arrived earlier than his expected May due date and will be spending some time in the hospital, but mother, father and baby are all doing well. Eric and Emily are moved by the tremendous outpouring of warm wishes from their fans, family, and country radio, and look forward to sharing more updates soon."
Gunderson announced the pregnancy last fall and revealed they were having a boy in December.
"I'm so excited to have a boy!!" Gunderson told Us Weekly. "Emily would be happy either way, but I've been secretly planning father/son hunting and fishing trips all along. I might even let him try his hand at guitar, although, you know those musicians are a handful..."
The new father will have a few weeks to spend with his son before he and duo partner Stephen Barker Liles join Tim McGraw on his Two Lanes of Freedom Tour in May.

Bernie Ecclestone has defended Sebastian Vettel's flouting of the rules in Sepang, saying the German proved himself to be a winner...
Bernie Ecclestone has defended Sebastian Vettel's flouting of the rules in Sepang, saying the German proved himself to be a winner.
The reigning World Champion courted controversy last time out in Malaysia when he deliberately ignored team orders to overtake team-mate Mark Webber for the victory.
The incident has earned widespread criticism, however, Ecclestone believes he did the right thing.
"If I was Sebastian Vettel, having won three World Championships for the team, and somebody came on the radio and started giving me instructions I'd probably do exactly the same as Kimi Raikkonen did when he came back and they gave him some instructions, I'd say 'I know what I'm doing'," he said.
He added: "I always say, show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser. Sebastian is not a loser. Sebastian is a winner."
The F1 supremo believes Vettel also should not be disciplined by his team for ignoring the orders.
"I don't think I'd give that any consideration. I'd say to Sebastian, 'in future don't make me look an idiot,'" he said.
"But they (Red Bull) don't care who wins. They want to win the Championship. For them what difference does it make?"
However, while Ecclestone wouldn't want to look 'an idiot', he reckons Vette's action have in no way undermined team boss Christian Horner's authority.
"Christian knows exactly what should have happened didn't happen. Put yourself in Christian's position, what should he now do? Did he give orders in the first place. If he did, how could he then give more orders?"

The Australian Grand Prix Corporation is pleased to announce a new, multi-year partnership with Ticketmaster Australasia to ticket the Formula 1® Australian and Australian Motorcycle Grands Prix.
The Formula 1® Australian and Australian Motorcycle Grands Prix will significantly add to Ticketmaster's already extensive list of sporting clients which includes the Australian Football League, Etihad Stadium, Olympic Games and Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Australian Grand Prix Corporation CEO, Andrew Westacott, said the decision to align their brand with such a premium ticketing service was a natural link.
"It makes sense that two of the most significant events on our sporting calendar, the Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix and Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, will be ticketed by the world's leading live entertainment ticketing company," said Westacott.
"We are very happy to be working with Ticketmaster and believe they offer unrivalled technology and service," he added.
Ticketmaster Australasia Managing Director, Maria O'Connor, is similarly enthusiastic about the partnership.
"We are hugely excited to be working with the AGPC and ticketing the most high profile motorsport events in Australia. We strongly believe we offer the best in ticketing services for our clients and look forward to introducing many initiatives that will enhance the ticket buying experience for motorsport fans," she said.
Commencing with the 2014 Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park on 13 – 16 March, the partnership with Ticketmaster Australasia is a multiyear deal.

Contemporary Dance/Fort Worth presents films documenting movers who dance in the high space, above the earth's surface:
Skydancer (U.S., 2011, 74 min.) Renowned for their balance and skill, six generations of Mohawk men have been leaving their families behind on the reservation to travel to New York City, to work on some of the biggest construction jobs in the world. Jerry McDonald Thunderbird and his colleague Sky shuttle between the hard drinking Brooklyn lodging houses they call home during the week and their rural reservation, a grueling drive six hours north, where a family weekend awaits. Through archival documents and interviews, Academy Award nominated director Katja Esson (Ferry Tales, Latching On) explores the colorful and at times tragic history of the Mohawk skywalkers, bringing us a nuanced portrait of modern Native American life and a visually stunning story of double lives. The film includes amazing footage of the steel workers moving with the grace and skill of dancers on girders high above the ground, which is contrasted with glimpses of participation in traditional dances at home on the reservation.
Skydancer is presented in collaboration with Women Make Movies.

As urban areas become more congested and dense, it becomes more challenging for city dwellers to spend time outdoors, exercise and relax. Buildings tower over public parks, blocking out the sun, while city streets are polluted with particulate matter and exhaust from vehicles. To cope with the growing need for green urban space, San Francisco-based designer Joanna Borek-Clement has envisioned these eye-popping Sky-Terra skyscrapers – not just a single building, but a network of interconnected towers that are inspired by the shape of neuron cells. This skyscraper superstructure provides a new city layer – one covered in public parks, amphitheaters, fields, and public pools and bathhouses.
One of many incredible entries in the 2009 eVolo Skyscraper competition, Borek's Sky-Terra skyscrapers were designed with Tokyo in mind – a city that is already overly congested and wanting for public recreational space.
Sky-Terra towers consist of a narrow base with a deep and strong foundation. The towers rise up to 1,600 ft and expand out until they reach the flat top plaza layer. Bridging over existing buildings, the Sky-Terra forms a new layer for the city high above the congestion and pollution. These plazas have many options and configurations, from public parks, greenbelts, playing fields, jogging paths, amphitheaters, pools, bath houses – all with the aim of providing people with access to open space.
Joanna Borek-Clement, who also works for the Bay Area based DGA, designed many sustainable elements into Sky-Terra. The transportation system consists of interconnected foot paths, as well as 4 foot wide streets designated for bikes or small electric cars. Anything that is not a pathway or road is meant to be green space which will assist in reducing urban heat island effect. Rainwater collection will provide water for landscaping needs, and the towers' building materials consist of modular parts that would be mass-produced to conserve resources and energy.
The inner core of each structure contains an elevator system that would transport people from the street level up to the top. Office, commercial and possibly even residential space will occupy the fins that expand from the inner core of the tower. And if you're concerned that the plazas would block out the sun to the city streets below, the plaza levels are designed with holes and spaces between the fins that allow light to beam down. Since it is more sustainable to live within a city, innovative and creative designs like the Sky-Terra may provide beautiful and efficient solutions to give people access to healthy recreational space.

The main diver for this project seems to be the desire to create a 'better world' somewhere up in the clouds, it sights existing problems such as shadows being cast from tall buildings and congestion and pollution as reasons to escape the existing plane of development.
These issues in my opinion will only be compounded by such ideas, the overshadowing will be worse and as for pollution how exactly do they plan to stop the high winds that occur at 1600ft from blowing the pollutants from the new living plane in these utopian green spaces down to the people below? It seems that rather than solving the problems at the route of the cause this project will simply add to and displace them.

Hilarious. A designer from San Franciso wants to design a system of towers that contain of all things bathhouses. The person who typed up this story for the website obviously does not know of the infamous San Franciso bathouses…initially the bathouses are where AIDS spread out from and killed so many indiviuals in San Francisco. The most famous bath house in San Francisco is located down by the Pacific Ocean and it was demolished so nobody would use it ever again.
Is this a joke?
