James John "Jamie" Atkinson (born 24 August 1990 in Hong Kong) is an international cricketer who has played two One Day Internationals for Hong Kong. A wicket-keeper, he has also represented Hong Kong at Under 19s level, and was selected as part of their squad for the 2010 U-19 Cricket World Cup.[1] He was the first player born in the 1990s to play in a One Day International. His father Steve played Minor Counties cricket and appeared in one first-class and several List A matches.
In 2014, Jamie Atkinson captained the Hong Kong team in their first global tournament, the World T20 in Bangladesh, defeating the hosts in their final match after two losses. His highest score was 31 from 20 balls against Afghanistan in Chittagong.
In May 2015 he stepped down as Hong Kong's captain citing lack of form as his main reason. The decision came after he led the side in a 59-run win over Namibia in which he made an unbeaten 37-ball 64 in a T20 match. He is Hong Kong's most successful player with a win over Bangladesh at home and gaining ODI status in span of three and a half years.[2]

Mark Howe's journey all his own
Updated: November 11, 2011, 1:55 PM ETBy Craig Custance | ESPN.com
Growing up as the son of one of the best hockey players who ever lived comes with privileges.
It meant Mark Howe and his brothers were the only kids in the neighborhood to play street hockey games with Terry Sawchuk's goalie pads. It meant being the stick boy for opposing teams and getting Bobby Hull's used sticks -- not to collect, but to play hockey with in the driveway until nothing was left but kindling. It meant getting chased around by Red Wings trainer Lefty Wilson ...

Size does matter - and precision too.

I wonder if someone can help me with this?
I need a way in a batch file to assign a variable to a string in a text file.
My text file looks like below (a user name - a space - then a postcode):
User1 postcode
User2 postcode
User3 postcode
User3 postcode
Basically I know I can use the findstr command to search for the user but I need some way to get findstr to look at the postcode entry for that user then assign it to a variable in the batch file. I'm sure there must be a way to make findstr find the space after the user and then look at the postcode.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

|[Bug 120185] Openoffice crashes when editing spreadsheets
|Wed, 04 Jul 2012 05:46:26 GMT
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120185 --- Comment #3 from Ariel Constenla-Haile <firstname.lastname@example.com> --- (In reply to comment #2) > *** Bug 120186 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'd suggest we resolve as duplicated *only* bugs we *know* the root cause. In this case, just like in all the other bug I quote in comment 1 , we have failed to find a root cause and a fix (I mean: asking the user to remove registrymodifications.xcu is no fix at all, nor a workaround). The user removes registrymodifications.xcu, then AOO does not crash anymore. So far an event B happens after another event A, but we don't have the right to assume that A causes B. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Privacy Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Opaque products to maintain privacy
- Routeless slats avoid light seepage
- Add a liner for increased opaqueness
- Layer coverings for light versatility
- Good for bed, bath & streetside rooms
Privacy blinds and shades are opaque, or non-transparent, enough to prevent view-through, even when backlit. Perfect for rooms facing the street or a neighbor, privacy shades or routeless blinds are perfect for keeping the inside of your home hidden. Some blind styles, such as woven woods, will require an added privacy liner to provide the extra opacity needed. We also recommend choosing a top down/bottom up lift option or layering your treatments, like a faux wood combined with drapery, to best balance your light control and privacy needs. While these products will block view-through, they will not necessarily block all light like our blackout shades.

AC4H has learned of 2 tb's which were purchased by a well known kill buyer. If bail can be raised, Kelly from Lost and Found can take them in. All donations are tax deductable and donation information can be seen at www.ac4h.com then click on donation/payment options. AC4H is collecting all funds for this rescue.
One TB is said to be completely sound and the other may have some soundness issues? Christy is going to get pictures of them today, but she can't post until tonight as she is also doing photo's, documentation, and helping an SPCA (Lebanon SPCA, I think) on a seizure of 3 donkeys and 2 horses.
The bail needed for each horse is $600 and the shipping (for both) is $100. Paypal fees for this rescue total $39. In total $1339 is needed to save these 2 tb's from slaughter.
Again, AC4H is collecting the funds for this pair. Options can be seen at www.ac4h.com then click on donation/payment options. Please let us know if you decide to donate, so I can keep the tally accurate, since Christy won't be near her computer until tonight to check paypal receipts.
What's the deadline?
Isn't Kelly from Lost and Found the one who started another thread about mares and babies that desperately need a home, why would she offer to take these two tb's and not the mares and foals???? Just wondering, it seems the mares and foals are in the most need right now, especially since the one has a foal at her side that is one day old and the other could foal anyday????
I am not sure how it is working to be quite honest. Just the messenger ;) I think Kelly is offering a temporary landing spot for these two tb's with more permanent arrangements to come, but am not really sure. I, too, hope it works out for the mares/foals (and every other horse out there). You would have to speak with Kelly or Christy regarding those questions.
Either way, they need help and do have a place to go. Can we help them group? Christy will have more info to share on them when she gets back tonight.
Thanks for the identities. I think with a combined earning of $149,151 they should have earned a retirement or a second career! Grrr..makes me mad that people can't be responsible!
$1339 needed to save these two tb's from slaughter. All donations are tax deductable.

The departures include Ethan Beard, who was director of platform partnerships.
Ethan Beard, Facebook Inc.'s director of platform partnerships, announced yesterday on his Facebook timeline that he was leaving the social network.
In his role, Beard oversaw the social network's relationships with developers. He encouraged retailers and other businesses to incorporate Facebook into their web sites via tools like social plug-ins and timeline applications. Those plug-ins are single lines of code a retailer can add to its site to incorporate Facebook features like its Like button. Applications are more sophisticated ways for retailers and consumers to share information using the social network. For instance, TheFind sends users of its application e-mails whenever products they've Liked on any e-commerce site go on sale.
Beard's post was followed an hour later by two other Facebook executives—Katie Mitic, the social network's platform marketing director, and Jonathan Matus, its mobile platform marketing manager—posting on their timelines that they were leaving the company.
All three said they planned to embark upon entrepreneurial activities.
The announcements follow a number of other departures from Facebook that have taken place since the social network went public earlier this year, most notably, its chief technology officer Bret Taylor.
The departures come as Facebook faces scrutiny over its declining stock price. Since going public May 17, Facebook shares have fallen markedly. As of this morning its shares were down nearly half from its initial offering price to $38 to about $20.
While any resignation of high-level executives isn't a good thing, the moves aren't unexpected, says Lou Kerner, founder of the Social Internet Fund, an investor in social and mobile technology companies. "It is a natural progression in the lifecycle of technology companies, particularly those in Silicon Valley where opportunities are abundant," he says. "However, Facebook remains the top choice to work at in Silicon Valley for those people who are looking for a tech experience with a rapidly growing, yet established, company."
Facebook declined to comment on the resignations.
One big one: attracting sellers by eliminating listing fees.

Piper Jaffray reduces December quarter iPod estimateInvestment bank Piper Jaffray on Tuesday reduced its fiscal first quarter iPod sales estimate for Apple Inc. by approximately 2 million units in light of preliminary sales data that suggests December month sales fell slightly short of expectations.
"We have analyzed all three months of NPD data (Oct., Nov. & Dec.) for the quarter and found that it now suggests iPod units of 24 million to 25 million," analyst Gene Munster wrote in research note to clients.
He now estimates the Cupertino-based firm to announce sales of approximately 23.5 million iPods as part of its fiscal first quarter earnings report later Tuesday, which is below both Street consensus estimates of 24.7 million and his previous estimate of between 25 million and 26 million.
"We see this as a neutral data point," Munster wrote. "Bottom line: we continue to expect Apple to report a strong December quarter driven by in-line iPod results and outperformance in the Mac segment.
The analyst made no other changes to his model, maintaining a Buy rating and $250 price target on shares of the electronics company.

Spiritual Mentoring Program
Program Details
PLNU staff, faculty, and friends of the university may apply to be a spiritual mentor of an upperclassmen student. The deadline for spiritual mentor applications is early in the fall semester each year. PLNU students are invited to request a mentor also in the fall. Matched mentors and students will be notified by the end of September, and will begin meeting as soon as both are able.
For Juniors and Seniors: Spiritual Mentors will be PLNU staff, faculty, or friends of the University.
For Sophomores: Spiritual Mentors will be current PLNU seniors.
+ When does the program start and end?
The Spiritual Mentoring program requires a one semester committment. There will be opportunities to apply at the beginning of each semester.
Sophomore, junior, and senior students can request a Spiritual Mentor. Junior and senior students will be matched with a PLNU staff, faculty, or friend of the university (spouses of staff/ faculty, alums, qualfied community members). Sophomore students will be matched with a current PLNU senior student mentor. Potential mentors submit an application and references.
+ How does the matching process work?
At the beginning of each semester, our office reviews mentor applications and student requests for mentors. Matches are made on a first-come, first-serve basis and mentoring will begin a couple of weeks into each semester. Matches are made based on interest, experience, the questions answered in the application/ request forms, and knowledge, if any, of the participants. Matches made later in the semester are exceptions and depend on whether mentors or mentees are available.
+ How often will we meet?
Generally, you can expect to meet bi-weekly. We ask that mentor-mentee pairs meet a minimum of two times each month and if a mentor-mentee pair wishes to meet weekly, they are more than welcome to.
+ Where will we meet?
Anywhere mutually agreed upon by the mentor-mentee pair.
+ What will the time together look like?
That is completely up to the mentor and mentee. Pairs may choose to read a book, pray together, go for a walk, discuss current events, surf, or make art. We hope these relationships are mutually encouraging, challenging and life giving.
+ What if a match doesn't work out?
If a mentor or student feel like the match is unhelpful, please contact our office so we can assess the situation and review options promptly: email@example.com or 619-849-2596.

PARAMUS, N.J. -- Early in his career, Adam Scott often drew comparisons to Tiger Woods. From his powerfully elegant golf swing to his early success as a young professional, Scott was deemed an heir apparent to Woods' throne as the world's top golfer -- or, at the very least, a challenger to that title.
Hunter Martin/Getty ImagesIf it weren't for a bogey on his final hole Thursday at Ridgewood Country Club, Adam Scott would share the lead at the Barclays with Tiger Woods and Vaughn Taylor.
So maybe it's fitting that on a day when Woods stole the headlines for taking a share of the lead through one round at the Barclays, Scott was hot on his heels near the top of the leaderboard.
It doesn't take a student of the game to understand that the recently turned 30-year-old Aussie hasn't quite lived up to the hype that has surrounded him for the past decade. Not only has he never won a major championship, but Scott owns just four career top-10s in 39 major appearances.
That's not to say there hasn't been a measure of success. He includes triumphs at both the Players Championship and Tour Championship among his seven career PGA Tour victories, while adding the most recent win to that list just three months ago at the Valero Texas Open.
Based on his play at Ridgewood Country Club on Thursday, more good fortune might be imminent.
A confident Scott posted seven birdies against just two bogeys in his opening-round 5-under 66, leaving him one shot off a lead jointly held by Woods and Vaughn Taylor.
"I'm very happy with everything I did today," Scott said. "Got off to a quick start and took advantage of it. It was good. It felt like me playing golf again."
Feeling like himself translated into consistency across the board. For the opening round, Scott ranked T-14 in driving accuracy (11 of 14 fairways hit), T-3 in greens in regulation (15 of 18) and T-5 in putting average (1.533 putts per GIR).
Besides the victory in Texas, he owns just one top-10 in 15 other starts this season, but he feels he's ready to contend again. Just being in the thick of things won't keep him satisfied, though, as Scott has a loftier goal in mind.
"Winning is a good habit to be in," he said. "It's something you don't want to go too long without, because I've really grown up with the belief that I'm playing to win. And it's been a habit I've been pretty good at keeping. I wanted to get out there and win, and my focus now is to try and win before the end of the year again."
If he was searching for any inspiration, Scott need only look above him on the leaderboard, where Woods -- who obviously has struggled with his own game this season -- lurks auspiciously.
"For him to piece things together, I think, can't be too hard. He's very good," he said. "If he's got a nice, good feeling, swing, with something new and fresh, we all feel good after that."
With a good feeling in the opening round, Scott is once again drawing comparisons to the guy he's chasing on the leaderboard.

If America's national-security mavens had to identify their biggest worry on a world map, odds are that the pin would land within a hundred miles of Islamabad. Once hailed as America's most vital non-NATO ally, and the recipient of more than $10 billion in aid since 2001, Pakistan is now emerging as a nightmare. It may be home to the world's fastest-growing nuclear stockpile, and it is certainly the most worrisome source of nuclear proliferation over the past decade. Its security forces have a mysteriously cozy relationship with scheduled terrorist forces, such as Lashkar-e Taiba, which launched a series of attacks on Mumbai in November 2008, killing or injuring at least 472 people. And it is a state in abject collapse—unable to convince its citizens to pay taxes, to provide basic utilities to its people, to keep order, or to provide for essential defense. Significantly, Pakistan is also a nation filled with rage against the United States—a dangerous enemy in the making. How could this happen in a country that could barely stand up without massive U.S. assistance?
Ali Chishti grapples with the demonization of the United States in Pakistan in a piece in Lahore's Friday Times:
In a recent Gallup survey conducted in Pakistan, 35 percent of the people hold the US responsible for terrorism in Pakistan, 39 percent say it is America's war that Pakistanis are fighting and 52 percent think that WikiLeaks has been published by the Americans themselves. At one of the country's biggest universities, the Karachi University, the flag of the US, Israel and India are embossed on a road by an Islamist party for students to walk over as a sign of hate. Recently, Altaf Hussain, the leader of one of the most secular political parties—the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM)—lashed out at the US over the Aafia Siddiqui issue. So why is it that the US, which has given Pakistan billions in aid and whom the Pakistani security establishment holds regular "strategic talks" with, has become a punching bag for all segments of society in Pakistan?
There is no doubt at this point that the United States has made a series of spectacular errors in judgment in dealing with Pakistan—bipartisan errors, largely forged by a national-security apparatus that serves both parties, covets secrecy, and detests being challenged over its mistakes. Some of its mistakes in Pakistan were avoidable, such as bombing a Pakistani border outpost and sending CIA contractor Raymond Davis to operate in an environment he didn't understand. But it is becoming increasingly clear that secrecy itself is the largest and most consequential of its errors.
When the United States first broached with Pervez Musharraf the idea of using drones to strike at terrorists operating on Pakistani soil, his consent was apparently contingent on an understanding specifying that the strikes be a covert operation run by the CIA. This might have made some sense in 2004, but what has emerged since then is a sustained military campaign involving some 290 strikes and 2,700 casualties. America's silence emboldened America's critics in Pakistan, cloaking the Pakistani politicians who authorized the strikes (and even furnished their own targets) while allowing the United States to be attacked as a bloodthirsty enemy that was violating Pakistan's sovereignty and killing hundreds of innocents.
When American special-ops units raided Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, American spokesmen at first described it as a joint Pakistan–U.S. operation. This was false, of course, but it was said in the hope that senior Pakistani military figures would claim credit for the raid and celebrate it, rather than condemn it. (It probably also reflected a previously agreed-upon protocol for raids similar to the one in place in Yemen.) After a key meeting of senior Pakistani military leaders, however, the country's top brass began condemning the United States. This was a key turning point in the U.S.–Pakistan relationship, and America's foolish secrecy had paved the way.
The United States is a democratic state whose people have a right to be informed about facts allowing them to make essential national-security decisions. For all its weaknesses, Pakistan is also essentially a democratic state, whose people have a right to be informed about their vital national-security interests, particularly with respect to decisions affecting the use of lethal force on their own soil. What transpired in the drone war was essentially an agreement between the national-security elites of both nations to keep their respective publics in the dark about their operations. That agreement was fundamentally anti-democratic and corrupt. But it also revealed a profound American naïveté about the Pakistani security establishment and its dangerous exercises in rabble-rousing. America's enemies in Pakistan have profited tremendously from this secrecy. America was victimized by it. As Ali Chishti notes, today one common viewpoint unites every significant party on the Pakistani political spectrum: hatred for the United States.
America does not need to be loved to operate effectively in the world. But it helps us to be understood and to avoid the costs attached to being reviled, particularly when the vitriol is based on misunderstanding. Putting an end to secretive operations in Pakistan and forcing Pakistani leaders to bear the consequences of their unpopular decisions would be a step in the right direction.

In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

PreS-Gr 1-Bursting with her signature bold color and textured pulp paintings, Fleming's latest tour de force affords an immersion into the backyard world below our feet. Economical and descriptive, the rhythmic text pairs with cross-section illustrations of the myriad creatures that burrow, dig, and tunnel their way underneath the earth's surface. Revealed amid the nests and tunnels, too, are other (and oft amusing) forms of subterranean deposits: seeds, root vegetables, old tools, keys, dog bones. Young readers will spot a connecting narrative arc in the artwork as a young boy helps plant and water a new cherry tree. An illustrated "Creature Identification" index is appended, offering concise information about the underground habits of the wildlife. A first-rate picture book on every level and made-to-order for group sharing, this title reveals the fascinating "squirm-ways and worm-ways" found in the natural world.-Kathleen Finn, St. Francis Xavier School, Winooski, VTα(c) Copyright 2011.

From Booklist
It's not every illustrator who can depict bunnies, moles, and grubs with an almost equal charm, but so Fleming does in this winning, factual look at life down under, from its teeming burrows and furrows to its "squirm-ways and worm-ways." Simple rhyming text invites readers into the often-ignored realm: "Low down. / Way down. / Under ground. / Creatures dig / and run around." Full-spread illustrations in Fleming's pulp-painting style bring the insects and animals of the subterranean world—and the occasional lost tool or toy—to the fore with cutaway views of the complex system of roots, nests, tunnels, and bustling action just below the earth's surface, including not only the expected chipmunks, earthworms, and ant colonies but also lesser-known cicada nymphs and wolf spiders. Juxtaposing the doings below are aboveground activities centered around a boy and his dog playing, helping to plant a cherry tree, and harvesting vegetables on a sunny day. A "Creature Identification" page adds further value by detailing all of the subsurface critters in the illustrations. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Kristen McKulski

Here is a unique and simple picture book with just a few words per page making it perfect for very young readers. Fleming's distinctive dyed paper pulp illustration technique is, of course, a defining element of the style of this book. Worms, moles and other such creatures are featured in this appreciation of underground natural habitats. Pair this with Diary of a Worm by Doreen Cronin for an unusually wormy storytime!

My students really liked this book. We read it during our bugs and insects unit, but it really could be used anytime. There are not many words on each page, but there is so much to see. It became a very interactive Circle Time with the students. They could pick things out, make predictions and tell me what they already knew. There is even a little glossary at the back of the book.

THE SUPREME COURT: RELIGION AND FREE SPEECH; Top Court Gives Religious Clubs Equal Footing in Grade Schools
By LINDA GREENHOUSE
Published: June 12, 2001
WASHINGTON, June 11— The Supreme Court ruled today that public schools must open their doors to after-school religious activities, including those that involve young children, on the same basis as any other after-hours activity that school policy permits.
The 6-to-3 decision extended to elementary school property the same constitutional principle the court has already applied to public high schools and colleges: that the expression of a religious viewpoint is speech, protected by the First Amendment against discrimination and entitled on a neutral basis to access to public facilities that are open to other speakers.
Letting the Good News Club, an evangelical Christian organization, use a room in an upstate New York school building on the same basis as other groups ''would ensure neutrality, not threaten it,'' Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the majority.
The decision overturned a ruling last year by the federal appeals court in Manhattan, which held that in excluding the club, the Milford, N.Y., school district was not discriminating against religious speech but was following a valid policy of not permitting ''quintessentially religious'' subjects to be taught on school property.
Beyond reiterating the court's well-established neutrality principle, the significance of the opinion today lay in the court's rejection of the argument that young children are particularly vulnerable to mistaking equal access for official endorsement and that the rules should thus be different for elementary school.
''We cannot say the danger that children would misperceive the endorsement of religion is any greater than the danger that they would perceive a hostility toward the religious viewpoint if the club were excluded from the public forum,'' Justice Thomas said.
The others in the majority were Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy and Stephen G. Breyer, who provided the sixth vote with a rather equivocal concurring opinion. Justices John Paul Stevens and David H. Souter wrote dissenting opinions, with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg signing Justice Souter's opinion.
The dissenters offered a substantially different characterization than did the majority of the activity the Good News Club conducted as soon as the school day ended at the Milford Central School. While Justice Thomas described it as teaching character and values from a religious point of view, both dissenting opinions said the activity consisted of worship and evangelizing.
''It is beyond question that Good News intends to use the public school premises not for the mere discussion of a subject from a particular, Christian point of view,'' Justice Souter said, ''but for an evangelical service of worship calling children to commit themselves in an act of Christian conversion.'' The majority's description ''ignores reality,'' he said.
Good News Clubs are sponsored by a national organization, the Child Evangelism Fellowship Inc., which described itself in a brief to the court as seeking to ''evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.'' The fellowship, based in Warrenton, Mo., operates in 142 countries and has 4,622 Good News Clubs in the United States, 527 of which meet on school property.
Although Justice Thomas insisted that ''the club's activities do not constitute mere religious worship, divorced from any teaching of moral values,'' it was not clear what difference, if any, that distinction made to the majority's analysis.
''At least five justices see no distinction between talking about religion, worshipping and recruiting young children to the faith,'' the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said today. Mr. Lynn, a lawyer, predicted the decision would ''create a battlefield out of America's elementary schools.''
In New York City, Karen Finney, a spokeswoman for the Board of Education, said, ''my understanding is that as a general matter of policy it is not permitted to have religious meetings to avoid excessive entanglement issues.''
Religious groups, she said, can hold nonreligious meetings so long as they do not collect fees. For example, a church could hold a meeting national welfare policy, she said, but not a prayer service.
''In light of the ruling,'' she added, ''we'll have to review the policy in order to ensure that the school system acts constitutionally.''
Edwin Darden, senior staff attorney for the National School Boards Association, said the decision placed local school boards in a difficult position, threatening local control and ''setting up a competition between different religious groups trying to gain the religious fidelity of children.'' He said the option of closing elementary schools to all outside groups, while permissible under the ruling, would not often prove a practical or attractive one.
The Good News Club drew support from a wide spectrum of religious organizations, including the National Council of Churches and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations. Other Jewish groups supported the school district, which is between Albany and Syracuse.

At its best, a novel operates through a kind of hypnotism. We enter into a make-believe world . . . and it becomes real to us. In the best of such playful experiences, we try on adventures that we would never consider doing on our own. From the reading, a changed life may follow.
In The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection, Alexander McCall Smith calls out to us to imagine ourselves living life-long dreams . . . and horrible nightmares. Then, he shows us that such futures don't have to be frightening. They can, in fact, be exhilarating. In true McCall Smith fashion, he designs the results to match the funniest possible . . . or most ironic conceivable . . . resolution. In the end, you feel a beautiful kind of peace, knowing that your dreams are going to be supported.
The jacket copy reveals quite a lot about the story. I dare not say more without spoiling the book for you.
Let me just say that Precious Ramotswe finds herself dealing with challenges that seem beyond her detective abilities. Grace Makutsi begins to dream of grandiose events that could overturn much of what she has come to treasure about her life. Phuti Radiphuti discovers that being a husband requires him to do things that aren't always comfortable for him. Two others face injustice. How will they overcome powerful forces beyond their strength?
I thought that some of the scenes in this story were as poignant and funny at the same time as any I've ever read.
This book made for very pleasant reading, while not exactly "can't put it down" does draw me to it whenever I have a free minute. I do enjoy the main characters and the style of his writing, and I look forward to the next book.

Geometry of Sound Perception
Much of audio engineering is directed toward a goal of high quality sound reproduction capable of generating the subjective illusion of acoustic reality. Coping with subjective sound impressions has proved baffling because our normal methods do not appear capable of handling subjective descriptions. It will be shown that by defining a geometry of the subjective illusion it is possible to translate some of the apparently esoteric descriptions of subjective audio into objectively measurable terms.

text: This light fantasy positions itself at the conceptual crossroads of two literary classic novels, an essay and a movie: Emma, Don Quixote, A Room of One's Own, and Field of Dreams. The twenty-seven year-old protagonist, Martha Andrevsky, agrees with Emma's skepticism about the institution of marriage. She's put off by the apparent ubiquity of infidelity and bothered by older couples who ignore each other. Martha has tired of her quasi-adolescent existence, but has no firm alternative in mind. She and roommate Nina Lozzaro, book-loving restaurant servers, are stagnating in Cleveland among low-tipping goosers, so they take a road trip to Iowa to wish for remarkable lives in "a very sincere cornfield." Performing the vaguest of enchantment rituals, they pull for "optimism and idealism to win out over logic and reason." After this incident an absurdist reality drives the story. Martha and Nina leave the nondescript sticks to search Davenport's mean streets (okay, the only mean street), for a tattoo parlor. Freshly inked with representations of their respective heroes, Emma Woodhouse and Don Quixote, the two gradually acquire distinctive speech patterns and mannerisms. Their conversations are quite consciously reference-laden like Dennis Miller chain riffs, as if such stylized communication could add retroactive value to their unutilized liberal arts skills--an admirable but impossible dream. The book's plotting and general execution isn't on par with the superior premise. -- manuscript review by Publishers Weekly, an independent organization
