Coming together and pulling apart.
American race relations appear to be moving in both directions at once as the nation hurtles through its greatest demographic transformation since the melting-pot era a century ago.
That's the overriding message of the initial University of Phoenix/National Journal Next America Poll, the first in a series of surveys of attitudes toward the demographic change that has swelled the minority share of the population past 36 percent (up from about 20 percent in 1980) and reshaped communities, schools, and workplaces around the country.
From one direction, the poll captures widespread daily interaction among Americans of different races and ethnicities. In the survey, a majority of whites, African-Americans, and Hispanics say that either "a lot" or "some" of their neighbors are from different racial or ethnic backgrounds than their own. Majorities in each group say the same thing about their friends. Among young people, the change is even more pronounced: Only a third of adults under 30 say they have "just a few" or "no" friends of other races.
Two-thirds of Americans with interracial friendships say they have more friends of different races than their parents did; that includes solid majorities of whites, African-Americans, and Hispanics. "Racial prejudice was just pounded into me growing up," said Henry Jones, a retired electrician in Oklahoma City who is white and responded to the survey. "These kids today, they don't see race." Cecil Moore, an African-American public employee in Stone Mountain, Ga., agrees. "I grew up in the rural South; opportunities were very limited," he said. "I never knew an African-American lawyer or doctor. The most successful black person I knew was a teacher…. There's a long way to go, but it's definitely better than it used to be."
The survey found other points of convergence. Among whites and Hispanics, more people think that race relations are improving than deteriorating, and African-Americans tilt only relatively narrowly in the opposite direction. With one important exception, the three groups largely agree on the causes of the economic gaps between whites and minorities, and also on what can be done to close them. All three groups even generally agree that whites and minorities don't receive equal treatment from law enforcement (although that belief is more broadly shared among minorities than whites).
The poll also pinpoints enduring fissures, however. On many issues, whites and African-Americans, in particular, express conflicting views, with the rapidly growing Hispanic population often taking positions in between but usually closer to blacks than to whites. These gaps are deepest on questions relating to the persistence of racial prejudice; the role of government in protecting rights for minorities and providing a safety net for the needy; and the opportunities available for the next generation.
As other surveys have done, the Next America Poll found whites much more unsure than minorities about whether the demographic transformation will improve or diminish American life.
Whites and nonwhites hold sharply contrasting views about President Obama's performance and the choice this November between the Democratic incumbent and Mitt Romney, the presumptive GOP nominee. Indeed, the poll points toward another election likely to divide the nation on racial lines. In 2008, Obama became the first nominee in either party ever to lose white voters by double digits and still win the White House, after capturing 80 percent of the nonwhite vote.
The Next America Poll, like a succession of other public surveys this year, suggests that Obama could again lose whites by a resounding margin—and still win a second term because of overwhelming support from the growing minority population. Such a stark divergence between the political preferences of most whites and most minorities could itself become a heightening source of social strain in the years ahead. "There is tension with older generations," said Donna Matthews, an African-American sales and marketing executive in Willingboro, N.J., who responded to the survey. "I think it's sparked by Obama. Caucasians are used to being in power. I think it scares people."
The University of Phoenix/National Journal Next America Poll, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates from April 5-11, interviewed 1,308 adults on landlines and cell phones in both English and Spanish. The survey over-sampled African-American and Hispanic adults to allow for more-detailed explanation of their views. In calculating the overall results, the poll used a weighting procedure to correct for this over-sampling and ensure that these groups represent their proper proportions of the population. The margin of sampling error for the complete set of weighted data is plus or minus 3.6 percentage points. The sampling error is plus or minus 4.7 percentage points for non-Hispanic whites, 7.8 percentage points for African-Americans, and 8.3 percentage points for Hispanics.

Mission Type: Orbiter
Launch Vehicle: Delta II Heavy 2925H-9.5 including Star 48 upper stage
Launch Site: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., Pad 17B, USA
NASA Center: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Spacecraft Mass: 1,217.7 kilograms (2,684.6 pounds) at launch, consisting of 747.1-kg (1,647.1-pound) spacecraft, 425 kg (937 pounds) xenon propellant and 45.6 kg (100.5 pounds) hydrazine propellant
Spacecraft Instruments:
1) Framing Camera
2) Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector
3) Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer
Spacecraft Dimensions: 1.64 meters (5.4 feet) long, 1.27 meters (4.2 feet) wide and 1.77 meters (5.8 feet) high. When deployed, solar array is 20 meters (65 feet) long tip to tip.
Antenna Diameter: 1.52 meters (5 feet) in diameter.
Total Cost: $357.5 million total (not including launch vehicle), consisting of $281.7 million spacecraft
development and $75.8 million mission operations
-Dawn Launch Press Kit, September 2007
The Dawn spacecraft combines innovative state-of-the-art technologies pioneered by other recent missions with off-the-shelf components and, in some cases, spare parts and instrumentation left over from previous missions.
With its solar array in the retracted position (for launch), the Dawn spacecraft is 7 feet, 9 inches (2.36 meters) long -- about as long as a large motorcycle. With its wide solar arrays extended, Dawn is about as long as a tractor-trailer at 65 feet (19.7 meters).
During its nearly decade-long mission, the Dawn mission will study the giant asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres, celestial bodies believed to have accreted early in the history of the solar system. The mission will characterize the early solar system and the processes that dominated its formation.
Vesta and Ceres were chosen because, while both speak to conditions and processes early in the formation of the solar system, they developed into two different kinds of bodies.
Vesta is a dry, differentiated object with a surface that shows signs of resurfacing. It resembles the rocky bodies of the inner solar system, including Earth.
Ceres, by contrast, has a primitive surface containing water-bearing minerals, and may possess a weak atmosphere. It appears to have many similarities to the large icy moons of the outer solar system.
By studying both these two distinct bodies with the same complement of instruments on the same spacecraft, the Dawn mission hopes to compare the different evolutionary path each took as well as create a picture of the early solar system overall. Data returned from the Dawn spacecraft could provide opportunities for significant breakthroughs in our knowledge of how the solar system formed.
To carry out its scientific mission, the Dawn spacecraft will carry three science instruments whose data will be used in combination to characterize these bodies. These instruments consist of a visible camera, a visible and infrared mapping spectrometer, and a gamma ray and neutron spectrometer. In addition to these instruments, radiometric and optical navigation data will provide data relating to the gravity field and thus bulk properties and internal structure of the two bodies.
During its orbital studies, Dawn will investigate Vesta's and Ceres' internal structure, density and homogeneity by measuring their mass, shape, volume and spin state with radiometric tracking and imagery, and determine elemental and mineral composition. From this information scientists can determine the relationship between meteorites and their parent bodies, and the thermal histories of the bodies. From images of the surface, knowledge of their bombardment, tectonic and possibly volcanic history will be revealed.
The mission's scientific objectives are to:

Yup. I was not impressed with Hillis either. Where's Cyrus Gray. Did you see the rookie Doug Martin yesterday.
I thought Cyrus Gray would do that for us this year???
This year is done give the load to Hillis and Droan or whoever else save Charles...not saying don't give him some but not like he has been getting it...look what happened to Johnson and every other back that got tons of carries and they were big backs.

In 1992, Scott Unsworth, a former New Zealand age-group triathlon champion, stopped competing due to a chronic back injury. Through his experience working as a swim coach, and from his first-hand experience in triathlon competition, Scott saw that the wetsuits being used by triathletes were completely inadequate for swimming, and he started a company called Performance Speedsuits Ltd.
Scott's early designs were directly inspired by his personal experience with the demands of the sport, and to this day Orca's designs and features are the direct result of working with professional athletes. In the five short years since Orca was launched in 1995 the brand was able to firmly establish itself as a favorite among the world's elite triathletes, and at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia two thirds of all triathlon competitors wore Orca Speedsuits in the swim leg of the event.
Orca products continue to be designed by and tested on athletes, not computer models, so you can be sure that the designs, materials and production techniques that go into Orca's championship-winning suits are always on the cutting edge.
Don't be afraid to go all out in the durable, quality-constructed Orca® Men's S4 Fullsleeve Wetsuit.

Test ID: FACTV
Coagulation Factor V Activity Assay, Plasma
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosing congenital deficiencies (rare) of coagulation factor V
Evaluating acquired deficiencies associated with liver disease, factor V inhibitors, myeloproliferative disorders, and intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis
Investigation of prolonged prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Factor V is a vitamin K-independent protein synthesized in the liver and in other tissues (endothelium, megakaryocytes/platelets). In its thrombin-activated form (factor Va), it serves as an essential cofactor in the prothrombinase enzyme complex which converts prothrombin to thrombin (the prothrombinase complex consists of the enzyme, activated factor X, factor Va cofactor, a phospholipid surface, and calcium).
Deficiency of factor V may cause prolonged prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time. Deficiency may result in a bleeding diathesis. Plasma biological half-life varies from 12 to 36 hours.
Platelets contain 20% to 25% of the factor V in blood. Factor V (also known as labile factor) is highly susceptible to proteolytic inactivation, with the potential for spuriously decreased assay results.
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.
Adults: 70-165%
Normal, full-term newborn infants may have borderline low or mildly decreased levels (> or =30% to 35%) which reach adult levels within 21 days postnatal. Healthy premature infants (30-36 weeks gestation) may have borderline low or mildly decreased levels.*
*See Pediatric Hemostasis References in Coagulation Studies in Special Instructions.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
See Cautions
Acquired deficiencies are much more common than congenital (see Useful For).
Congenitally deficient homozygotes generally have levels < or =10% to 20%.
Congenitally deficient heterozygotes generally have levels < or =50%.
Congenital deficiency may occur in combined association with factor VIII deficiency.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Factor V (labile factor) is highly susceptible to proteolytic inactivation, with the potential for spuriously decreased assay results. In normal individuals, after freeze-thaw of citrate plasma, factor V activity typically may be 10% to 20% less than observed in a fresh plasma specimen, and in occasional individuals, a more marked decrease of factor V activity occurs. Normal results can be regarded as reliable, but decreased factor V activity results need to be correlated with other clinical and laboratory information. Repeat testing may be necessary.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Wintersun is an extreme metal band from Helsinki, Finland. Wintersun was originally created by guitarist Jari Mäenpää as a side project to folk metal band Ensiferum, for whom he was lead singer and guitarist. In 2003, Mäenpää began culling together songs that he'd been working on since 1995. These songs followed specific themes described by Mäenpää as majestic, "spacy", and melodic. While Mäenpää planned to perform and record each instrument for the first album himself, he still required a drummer. He sent demos to Kai Hahto, former member of Rotten Sound, who agreed to perform the drums. After obtaining a record deal, Mäenpää scheduled studio time to record the first album. Ensiferum's tour to support their 2004 release was scheduled at the same time, which forced Mäenpää to request time off from the band. The band instead fired him, and Mäenpää was free to go ahead with the production of his self-titled album, Wintersun. After the release of Wintersun, the band found permanent members to perform shows and promote the album, although a keyboardist would never be found. In 2006, Wintersun began work on their second album, tentatively titled Time. Recording began in May of that year, but the album would be the recipient of years-long delays for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which was the complexity of each song's mix.

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

January Term Housing takes place during the intersession between the Fall and Spring terms.
During the January Term, New York University offers students registered for January Term classes at Washington Square the opportunity to live on-campus in conveniently located residence halls. Please note that housing is very limited this January Term, and NYU can only guarantee housing to academic year NYU students. Non-NYU students enrolled in January Term courses at the Washington Square campus will be offered placement on a housing waitlist and will be assigned if space becomes available.
Please continue reading for more specific information about accommodations, cost, and how to apply.
Note: The information below pertains to the 2015 January Term Housing process. This page will be updated to reflect information for January Term 2016 during the Fall 2015 semester.
Accommodations are single or shared bedrooms (with current NYU students), in multi-bedroom traditional or apartment-style suites with bathrooms. Please note that there are a very limited number of single rooms in apartment style halls. Apartment style suites have kitchens; traditional hall suites do not. All bedrooms are furnished with a bed, desk, and dresser for each resident. Smoking is not permitted in NYU Housing. Linens and bedding are not provided.
January Term Housing dates are based on the 3-week period that classes are in session:
Rates are based on a 3-week stay and cannot be pro-rated:
*Please note that NYU Campus Transportation is not available during January Term at the Washington Square campus. Although the Office of Residential Life & Housing Services will endeavor to assign applicants as close to campus as possible, this cannot be guaranteed. All residence halls are accessible to the Washington Square campus via New York City public transportation.
Please note that the deadline to apply for January Term housing was Tuesday, December 2, 2014. We are no longer accepting housing applications for January Term 2015.
NYU students with both a Fall 2014 & Spring 2015 NYU Housing license may remain in their existing residence hall assignment during January Term at no additional charge, and do not need to complete an application.
NYU students who have only a Fall 2014 or Spring 2015 NYU Housing license (e.g. fall residents intending to study away in the spring, new spring residents, etc.) or NYU students who have no housing license for the 2014-2015 academic year must be enrolled in NYU courses at the Washington Square campus to live in-residence for January Term. Such applicants may complete the January Term housing application through their NYU Home account (click on the NYU Life tab, then on NYU Housing & Meal Plan forms), and will be charged for 3 weeks in January Term housing (see rates above).
Residents who only have a Fall 2014 NYU Housing license in NYC may be required to relocate from their Fall 2014 housing assignment to another room. Fall 2014 residents must check out after their January Term classes have ended, no later than 12 Noon on Saturday, January 24, 2015.
January Term housing is only guaranteed to academic year NYU students. Visiting January Term students interested in January Term housing should apply for their January Term course here and be sure to indicate their interest in on-campus housing within the application. Interested applicants will receive information about joining a housing waitlist, and additional information about on-campus housing in mid-December. Please note that the January Term housing wait list is no longer available.
Available spaces will likely be in shared bedrooms within apartments that have been occupied by residents for several months prior to January Term move-in. To help January Term residents to become acquainted with temporary roommate(s), January Term residents will receive their room/suite mate's email address after receiving confirmation of a housing assignment. Since January Term occurs during the intersession between Fall and Spring semesters, NYU roommates may be away for this period, or may come and go from their NYU Residence assignment for periods of varying length.
For information about meal plan options and dining hall hours during January Term, please consult our dining page.
January Term Housing cancellation requests should be emailed to email@example.com. All cancellation requests received by January 4, 2015 will be processed without fee/penalty. There will be a $250 cancellation fee for reservations canceled after January 4, 2015.
For all other inquiries about January Term housing, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call Residential Life and Housing Services at 212-998-4600.
Click here for more information.
Classes begin on January 5, 2015 and end January 23, 2015.
Information for January Term 2016 will be posted during the Fall 2015 semester.

Quiet time alone is important for baby's development. Let your baby enjoy the gentle rocking movement of the 3-in-1 Rocker Napper while gazing at the musical electronic toy.
Move the Rocker Napper's hanging electronic toy to the appropriate distance from baby's palm, so that when she raises her hand she can hit the toy or, later, grasp it with ease.
About a fifth of all babies suffer from colic. The 3-in-1 Rocker Napper's vibrating movements could help babies' immature digestive system and ease their discomfort.
Rocker Napper's versatile seat offers 3 reclining positions. The middle position can help babies who suffer from reflux digest with ease.
Seated position allows baby to enjoy playing with electronic toy that plays a selection of 9 tunes suited for play or rest.
Excellent angle for feeding babies.
Flat pad (180°) with raised borders makes for a cozy napping environment.
The Rocker Napper features gentle rocking movements and vibrations that can help soothe baby and develop body sensation and control. Parents can control the level of stimulation by activating or deactivating the product's various features.
If your baby seems uncomfortable or restless, try reducing the level of stimulation and examine baby's reaction. Let baby enjoy the hanging overhead toys without the music & lights feature or the vibrations and gradually try introducing the additional features.
If your baby seems uninterested or bored, increase the level of stimulation while monitoring baby's reaction. Rock the Rocker back and forth, add the vibrations and draw baby's attention to the dangling toys.
Some babies love vibrations while others don't. When you first use this feature, monitor baby's reaction to establish which it is.

Recipe by C. PEREZ
"A delightful chicken dish with a little spicy kick. Serve with rice and your favorite vegetable."
Watch video tips and tricks
3/4 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon
onion powder
1/4 teaspoon
dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon
dried parsley
boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
olive oil
2 teaspoons
garlic powder
3 tablespoons
lime juice
This is almost identical to a recipe that I love. The only difference is that in my recipe you add 1/3 of a cup of chicken broth with the lemon juice to the pan drippings. This helps to add the needed liquid for the sauce. This is a fast, delicious recipe that the whole family likes.
I will make this easy recipe again but with some changes. I loved the spice mixture but it wasn't enough to adequately cover/rub four breasts so I had make another batch. Also, way, way, WAY too much garlic powder at the end. It overpowered the other flavors, especially the lime. I will reduce the amount of garlic powder and double the other ingredients in the future.

My wife loved this take on a delicious dish. Mince onion, garlic and jalepeno, add the dry ingredients called for in this dish to form a wet paste. Rub generous amounts under the skin. Outer skin is salted, rubbed with some mixture. Broil in oven until skin gets nice and crispy (5-7 min) switch oven to bake 350 until done (approx 40 min). About half way through squeeze lime juice on chicken.
Love the spicy little kick this chicken has to offer. I did have to double the butter and lime juice in order to have enough sauce to spoon over the top. I also pounded the brests thinner to avoid that "too chickeny" taste. This is a keeper!
This recipe is five stars as written, but to spice it up, I doubled the spice mixture, increased the cayenne pepper to 1/2 tsp. Right before finishing the "sauce" I added 1/2 cup of chicken broth per another reviewers suggetion, a "turn" of margarita mix, a splash of tequila, 1.5 tbs of honey and let bubble for two plus minutes. Perfect mix of sweet and spice!!!
This was good but needed some help. First of all, do cut chicken breasts into pieces & pound thin. Second, don't double the lime juice unless you want it sour. Use 3 TBLSP first (juice of one small lime) and then taste-test the sauce, then adjust as needed. The sauce also could benefit from a little chicken broth added when you put in the lime juice.
This recipe just replaced my old Lime Chicken recipe. It was wonderful! So simple and easy, too. I fixed the marinade in the morning, bumped up the heat-factor a little, used fresh cilantro from my garden (made all the difference) and threw it in a bag along with the juice of a couple limes. I marinated it all afternoon and then threw it on the grill. While grilling, I coated it with coarse ground pepper and squeezed fresh lime juice on each side. Definitly a keeper! My husband was disappointed he was travelling the next day and couldn't take the leftovers for lunch. Instead, I sliced up the cold chicken and served it on a salad. MMMMMMmmmmmm-good! Thanks for the recipe!
A splash of tequila made for a nice finish to this delicious recipe.

First Charge of the Machete (1969)
Both Spanish soldiers and Cuban peasants recall the bloody attack by machete-slicing Cubans in the late 19th century. The officers discuss the attack and the implications their defeat will have as they dread the review from Madrid. Soon Cuba would break away from Spain, largely with the help of William Randolph Hearst who helped to facilitate the Spanish-American War. The film also goes over the history, use and care of the machete, which came out of the sugar cane fields to become a deadly weapon of hand-to-hand combat.~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

The Art and Science of Reproducing Kodachrome
September 26, 2012, 09:17:51 AM »
After 18 months of experimenting, and asking questions on this forum, I have finally put together a PDF about how best to reproduce Kodachrome and other slide types. I purposely did not say "scan" as scanning is only one part of getting a Kodachrome slide into another format.
Cliff Rames was kind enough to proof read the early versions of the PDF and offer suggestions. He had this to say after the final proof, but I was unable to include his technical comments in the PDF so here they are (26 Aug 2012):
Hi Guy,
I read through your final version and it looks like a winner! I also tested your editing workflow on some of my own Kodachromes, and I must say that it is very well thought out and effective. It makes a lot of sense to me.
Interestingly, in your Curves 2 color adjustments, page 62, bowing the curves up and down from the mid-point, has the main effect of aligning the Kodachrome characteristic curves. It is effectively the gamma adjustment for each curve needed to neutralize the grayscale, although it's not obvious.
To use my existing Linear scans with your workflow, it was necessary to first convert to a gamma > 1 space. You might want to add a note for those who have linear scans, that it's a necessity to convert to a gamma workspace, since curves and some of the other Photoshop tools are awkward to use on linear data. Of the standard editing spaces. only ProphotoRGB can contain all of the Kodachrome gamut. I can just imagine that your document will be read and applied by other people like me with linear scans, since in some circles (UseNet, filmscanners mailing list, etc.) the conventional wisdom has been that it's best to scan and profile linear. Under your constraints of avoiding color space conversion, scanning into a gamma space is a necessity as your research has shown. Not everyone is operating under the same constraints so I'm just suggesting a way to head-off potential criticism from experienced scan operators who come across your document.
Best regards,
The PDF (234 pages) has been set up to allow easy and informative comparison of images by directly overlaying them in an interactive PDF. My findings may surprise some readers. The PDF (an incomplete version) can be downloaded here:

Thank you, Guy, since I have been scanning favorite Kodachromes from the 1980s, this will be very useful information for me.

Hello Guy. I've downloaded your free PDF, and I shall purchase the complete version once I have returned to an internet connection over which I feel safe sending financial information. I have not had time to read the download yet, but obviously a subject of great interest to me, and as I wade into the work you've done, I'll most likely get in touch.

What intrigues and somewhat confounds me about the pdf is the mention of Kodachrome's bluish cast as an intended design in order to counteract the yellowish/amber light from a tungsten projector which that film type was meant to be viewed by, but accept and expect a flat bed scanner with its fluorescent/LED? light source as a good enough device to counteract/correct for that cast which I totally disagree with.
I didn't read all of the pdf but I thought it would be helpful if they covered an alternate capturing technique of backlighting Kodachrome slides with a similar halogen or tungsten type light source either on the scanner or with a high rez DSLR with a macro lens and see if it gives better color/detail results.
If that film type was designed for projection then it would stand to reason using a similar method for exposure would make color rendering and fidelity easier to attain. As usual I could be wrong on this but I always think it best especially with scanning film to grab all its data by any means necessary at the source instead of relying on software to bring it out.
Scanner's fluorescent light source doesn't seem up to the task IMO. A very interesting and thorough study and valuable tomb of information on such a popular film type, though.

tlooknbill: Yes, you'd think tungsten light would be the best solution. So early in 2011 my mate Baydon rigged up a Kodak Carousel and photographed slides with a digital camera by looking into the projector (see last page of PDF). But even though it sometimes gave the best results due to the camera's ability to capture shadow detail without flare (see the captures of Ref 05, page 99), the technique in general did not give results as good as from dedicated scanners. At least from my testing. And that testing involved sunlight, daylight, various colour temperature settings, and many hours of playing around. I gave it good go, but eventually came to the conclusion that I would not be able to get results, in general, as good as from the V700 or Coolscans.
Baydon is very happy with his method because it is so quick. He can capture 200 slides an hour, and most of them look pretty good. But compared to what can be achieved by other methods, I decided to to pass on the carousel technique.

....the technique in general did not give results as good as from dedicated scanners.
Have you seen the results that Peter Krogh (author of "The DAM Book") gets with "camera scanning"? (his phrase) See the
camera scanning section of dpBestflow.com
(and also note who funded dpBestflow.com.) Also read the
PDF that he prepared
His tests show "camera scanning" to give slightly better results than a Nikon 8000 scanner at 4000 PPI. You can download full resolution comparison images
from here
But his information isn't directly addressing your concern--he doesn't pay any special attention to Kodachromes, so his results might not be contradicting the results you report. He does say that often shadows need to be opened up after digitizing slides because they become more contrasty. But he says "The Fill Light command in Lightroom and Shadow control in Aperture can do a good job with this task." (from the dpBestflow page.) Again, you might be more exacting about shadow contrast than he is.
I have had good results with camera scanning (Canon 60D, Canon 60mm macro lens, PhotoSolve Extend-a-Slide), but I haven't tested anywhere nearly as exhaustively as you have. And my comparisons are against a Plustek 7600i and an Epson V600. I am curious why the Plustek 7200 you tested was so bad. Luminous Landscape's Mark D Segal
reviewed the 7600i
against a Nikon 5000ED and also against an Epson V700 and found the 7600i to be a bit worse than the 5000ED and a bit better than the V700. Unless the 7200 is drastically different from the 7600i, his results don't correlate with yours.
Thanks for the work you have done. I am recovering from cataract surgery and my eyesight will be fuzzy until my new eyeglasses are ready. When I can see clearly, I'll examine your paper closely. Right now, I'm not too good with visual comparisons. (Apologies for any typos that have crept into this message.)

Wayne - the 7600i is a technically improved scanner over the 7200i, so what I said about the 7600i does not necessary convey to the 7200i. I never worked with a 7200i. The 8200i recently released in the US market (but has been available elsewhere for some time now) I understand has under-the-hood technical improvements over the 7600i, although its stated technical specifications are the same as those of the 7600i.

The 8200i recently released in the US market (but has been available elsewhere for some time now) I understand has under-the-hood technical improvements over the 7600i...
A representative from Plustek posted on DPReview:
Hi Mark from Plustek here. A couple things....
The OpticFIlm 8xxx series scanners are the same hardware as the OpticFilm 74/7600 scanners. The only difference is SilverFast 8 comes in the box with the 8xxx scanners and you have to download it (free) for the 74/7600 scanners.
(Also note what he said about how they compare the upcoming Plustek OpticFilm 120 scanner with drum scanners.)
I am working through my family's negative and slide archives and what I am interested in are solutions that are cost effective and exist as products that are on the market. I'm trying to make a workflow that I can share with other members of my extended family and anything that involves chasing down equipment that can't be bought brand new is a non-starter. I really appreciated your review of the 7600i. I've been very happy with mine. (For the price.)
But I am still interested in camera scanning, because I think (but can't prove) that my 60D RAW files are giving me better color than what my 7600i yields. (I know that looking at 60D conversions at 100% often makes feel happy about the tonality, but looking at 7600i conversions at the same magnification makes me sigh. Generally.) And camera scanning is a whole lot faster than my 7600i is. But there isn't much to choose from for mounting slides and negatives in front of a camera/macro lens. That is currently in production. I've had good luck with the PhotoSolve Extend-a-slide with slides, but the ergonomics aren't optimal, And I haven't found the Photosolve negative carrier to be workable for 35mm. (I was able to modify the 35mm negative carrier to work for 110 negatives though. 110 negatives are problematic with conventional scanners. I am very happy that I was able to rescue family heirloom images from the 1970s and 80s that otherwise only existed as overexposed prints.)
And I am still going with Peter Krough's contention that camera scanning,
when implemented optimally
, yields better results than can be achieved with Nikon (or Imacon) scanners. It is the "when implemented optimally" part that is tricky.
Back to Kodachrome.
Here is a link
to an interesting discussion on how Kodachrome was processed, and how this affects the blue cast we get when scanning. The posts by Alan Marcus, the former Quality Control Manager at Dyancolor's Aurora, Illinois are especially interesting. He was trained by Kodak on how to process Kodachrome.

Yes, I had previously seen Mr. Druziak's advice on the 7600/8200 comparison. I'm very much looking forward to see IQ from the 120 after its commercial release. This could be an important event for the scanning community.

Re: Camera scanning -- with Kodachromes (64 and 200), I can get results from my 16MP m4/3 OM-D + ZD 50mm macro that easily equal the Coolscan IV in terms of IQ and DR, and are so close to the Coolscan V as to be a non-issue. And I am not even getting the full use of the 4/3 sensor because of the aspect ration mismatch. Also, the "out of the box" color with the OM-D matches the chromes more closely (I shoot RAW, so that's the Adobe defaults being applied). Plus, the camera "scans" don't have the problem with flare/highlight blooming my (mirror-cleaned) Coolscans have that that limits the amount of tonal adjustment you can do without resorting to serious masking. Note that DXO gives the OM-D a DR rating of 12.something, which helps a lot compared to older DSLRs with less dynamic range. I would expect even better results with more recent offerings like the D800/D600, which test in the DR 14.x range.
That said, at the end of the day, I do have to do some masking to correct color casts in the highlights and shadows. I'm curious to read Guy's adustment techiques. Guy, re your book, I have sent you a PM.

Reading this thread for the first time I'm actually surprised that anyone has anything good to say about Plustek scanners. For years they've been pretty bad. What's changed?

What was the latest model you used and what has been your experience with it?
For sure, taking about the 7600i, this is not a Nikon Coolscan 5000, but (a) it's about one-third the price bundled with SilverFast Ai and a profiling target of what the Nikon sold for (bundled with Nikon Scan) when the Nikon was available at normal retail prices, (b) the Plustek is a manufactured, current product and (c) it can produce decent scans - at least the one I tested back in mid-2010 -
