Politics If the Elevated Wins, Chopp Loses
posted by February 1 at 10:15 AMon
Why is House Speaker Frank Chopp (D-43, Capitol Hill, Wallingford, U-District) so sternly opposed to Mayor Nickels's $3.4 billion-plus tunnel? Yes, it's the price tag. But more important to Chopp: He's out to save Democrats statewide come November 2008. His caucus members have told him point blank: We cannot go back to our districts and tell voters we caved to snooty Seattle.
That's very big of Chopp to think of his colleagues, but you know which Democrat might get rubbed out come November 2008? Frank Chopp. The ugly, environmentally dangerous, neighborhood-destroying freeway on the waterfront is not popular in Chopp's district.
If the elevated gets the green light in next month's Seattle-wide vote, that'll also be a green light for candidates to line up and challenge Chopp, who caved to the reverse-snooty, suburban and rural districts.
P.S. To an old friend who used to talk to me (isn't Gilbert having a great year?). Anyway, "Reverse-snooty." Isn't that like something you'd come up with? Are your boys going to run somebody against Chopp?

Breakthrough deal reached just before vote on constitution101205 news5Athens Banner-HeraldBAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi negotiators reached a breakthrough deal on the constitution Tuesday, and at least one Sunni Arab party said it would now urge its followers to approve the charter in this weekend's referendum. Suicide bombings and other attacks killed more than 50 people in the insurgent campaign aimed at intimidating voters.--> Breakthrough deal reached just before vote on constitution By Lee Keath | Associated Press | Story updated at 8:30 AM on Wednesday, October 12, 2005 BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi negotiators reached a breakthrough deal on the constitution Tuesday, and at least one Sunni Arab party said it would now urge its followers to approve the charter in this weekend's referendum. Suicide bombings and other attacks killed more than 50 people in the insurgent campaign aimed at intimidating voters.
Under the deal, the two sides agreed on a mechanism to consider amending the constitution after it is approved in Saturday's referendum. The next parliament, to be formed in December, will set up a commission to consider amendments, which would later have to be approved by parliament and submitted to a referendum.
In return, the agreement guarantees Sunni Arabs the ability to try later to introduce major changes they want, aimed at reducing the autonomous powers that Shiites and Kurds would have under the federal system created by the charter, negotiators said. "The important principle here is that this provides an assurance (to Sunnis) that this constitution is not the end of history but is subject to amendment," said Ridha Jawad Taqi of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, a top Shiite party in the government.
U.S. officials have pushed the three days of negotiations between Shiite and Kurdish leaders in the government and Sunni Arab officials, that concluded with marathon talks at the house of President Jalal Talabani Tuesday.
A top Sunni negotiator, Ayad al-Samarraie of the Iraqi Islamic Party, said the measure would allow it to "stop the campaign rejecting the constitution and we will call on Sunni Arabs to vote yes." It was unclear if parliament would formally vote on the new deal with some lawmakers saying the measure may be read to the National Assembly today.
But other major Sunni parties were not present at the negotiations. The announcement was the first break in the ranks of Sunni Arab leaders and likely will deeply undermine the campaign to defeat the constitution at the polls. Sunni-led insurgents have demanded a boycott of the election and threatened those who would vote.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 1987
Running Time: 79
Director: Jack Remy
Company: Vidco
Cast: Bionca (I), Amber Lynn, Krista Lane, Tiffany Storm, Herschel Savage, Viper (I), Robert Bullock
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Jane Bond a traitor? That's the way this latest shot-on-video adventure of our blonde heroine begins. Amber Lynn leads her boss (Robert Bullock) into a trap, and then with Golden Rod (Herschel Savage) plots to rule the world. Bullock, however, turns the tide on his captor (Viper), and after administering a sound trashing escapes to save Bond and capture Rod.
What starts out as a good premise quickly gets lost among several unnecessary - but entertaining - erotic encounters between the forces of good and evil. For instance, the lesbian encounter between Krista Lane and Tiffany Storm adds little in the way of plot development, and the same can be said for the "crunch" threeway with Peter North, Lynn and Storm. Still, we get to see some veteran performers doing some erotic things with each other. Of course, everything leads up to the supreme match up between Amber and Savage for all the marbles. The ending is predictable, but acceptable.
Production qualities are good, and director Jack Remy elicits pretty good performances from everyone in the cast. More plot (maybe a few erotic gadgets and less cheap tricks like strobe-light hypnosis) and less sex for sex sake would have made the story more palatable. Amber is quite capable of handling the lead in tapes such as this. And she should be given more of a chance to do so. Stronger scripts will make the sex more meaningful and erotic. We can get cheap thrills in any number of loop compilations. Full-length tapes - and especially an on-going series - should strive to develop character and scenario to last for the life of the collection.

Cook 15 mins
This is from one of the Moosewood cookbooks. I made a few changes to fit my own tastes.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup peeled and shredded carrot
- 1 tablespoon chili powder, to taste
- 3 -4 cloves garlic
- 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cups water

- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce

- In a large soup pot on medium-high heat, saute the onion in the olive oil until translucent and starting to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the carrot and chili powder and continue to cook, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.

- Add salt and pepper to taste.
Most Helpful
I had started steps 1-3 on the stove, then I put everything into my crockpot for about 6 hrs on low. It worked out perfectly and the taste was so delicious and filling. I love bean soups and this will now be put at the top of my list. Thanks.

How can I downgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Home Premium without reinstalling Windows? I want to use a Home Premium key and uninstall the Ultimate features. How can I do this?
You cannot downgrade editions. You need to re-install the operating system using the correct edition, then you can use that key.
You can go up in editions using anytime upgrade.
Bonus Chatter: The reasons are dependencies and money. Allowing downgrades means developing a UI, and then endless testing and stomping bugs(this is IMP the biggest pain point). I'd rather the company spend time on features I will use more than once.

The July 14 edition of
Notable Quotables can be accessed, thanks to MRC Web manager Joe
Alfonsi, from the MRC home page: http://www.mediaresearch.org.
There's been so much hearings material to report that the
CyberAlerts have grown too long to add an entire NQ.
front page headline in Sunday's Los Angeles Times announced
"White House Helped Boost Trie Onto Asia Trade Panel: Clinton
Friend Won New Spot With a Padded Resume. Subject of Fundraising
Inquiry Now in China."
Nightly News forget all about the hearings after a comment last
Tuesday night, July 15, from Tim Russert and brief and discussion
with Tom Brokaw. But NBC was back in action Monday night, July 21,
with the first Nightly News mention of the hearings in six days.
NBC presented some rare enterprise reporting from a television
network on the Clinton fundraising scandal.

detailed in CyberAlerts over the past two weeks, ABC, CBS and NBC
barely touched the hearings. This Morning on CBS, in fact, hasn't

hearings justify thorough coverage, but two shows have provided a

China Insurer Trusts, U.K. VAT, Hong Kong-RBS: Compliance
Collective trusts that insurers are allowed to invest in are confined to those backed by financing assets and non-listed equity assets, according to draft rules posted on the website of China Insurance Regulatory Commission.
Collective trusts backed by fixed-income assets that insurers are allowed to invest in should have a rating of at least "A" by a Chinese rating agency, according to the statement.
Chinese insurers are banned from investing in stand-alone trusts, and trusts backed by assets in industries that are prohibited by the government, according to the statement.
The regulator is soliciting opinions on the draft rules.

U.K. Tax Authorities Question Investment Banks on VAT Scams
U.K. authorities are investigating possible tax fraud in the country's 40 billion-pound ($67 billion) power-trading markets, according to accounting firms TMF Group and Deloitte LLP.
The alleged fraud involves traders paying value-added-tax, or VAT, to energy sellers who are suspected of keeping the money rather than turning it over to the government. Such scams are known as missing trader fraud.
Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs has questioned traders from at least three trading firms, including two investment banks, according to Richard Asquith, a tax accountant at TMF in London, which advises the firms. It asked one of his clients for lists of all customers and suppliers, he said. Most of the alleged fraud involved the electricity market, Asquith said. He declined to identify the trading firms.
Tax inspectors have contacted gas and power market firms "with long and very detailed lists of questions" as part of a VAT investigation, Deloitte wrote in a March 3 note to clients.
Laura Parsons, a Deloitte spokeswoman, said no one was available to speak about its note.
While the tax office has questioned traders for investment banks, they aren't believed to be targets of the investigation, according to Asquith and another person familiar with the inquiries. Asquith said he doesn't know who allegedly perpetrated the fraud.
Prosecutors in Germany are going after similar VAT fraud in the carbon-emissions trading market.
Hong Kong Market Regulator Fines RBS for Trading Control Failure
Hong Kong's securities regulator issued a reprimand to Royal Bank of Scotland Plc and fined the bank HK$6 million ($774,000) after it failed to detect and prevent trading misconduct.
The move follows an investigation into the lender's systems and controls in 2011, after the discovery of unauthorized trading activities by former RBS trader Shirlina Tsang, Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission said in a statement yesterday.
Risk management at RBS's Emerging Markets Rates Desk in Hong Kong, where Tsang used to work, was "deficient," according to the SFC.
Tsang pleaded guilty to fraud for trying to hide losses of 19.5 million pounds ($30.8 million), and was sentenced to 50 months in jail.
"RBS acted quickly in alerting the SFC," Mark Steward, the SFC's executive director of enforcement, said in yesterday's statement. "This deserves substantial credit and is the reason why today's sanctions are not heavier ones."
Tech Savvy Younger Workers Carry Reputational Risks, Ryan Says
Companies issuing cellphones and computers to younger workers who use them as their sole personal and work communication conduits might be placing the organization at reputational risk, Owen Ryan, chief executive officer of Deloitte & Touche LLP's risk advisory practice, said in an interview with Bloomberg News yesterday.
A dynamic among younger workers "is that their work and personal lives intertwine so much," Ryan said. That lifestyle, plus the 24/7 use of company-owned devices, on which they are "espousing" on social media, can create "the risk of security breaches, and challenges in maintaining confidentiality."
"Reputation is the most important thing that companies have to protect," Ryan said. While younger workers grasp quickly the potential of new technology, they often don't see ahead to its social consequences. "There's probably a lack of awareness for many people as to how their words can be misconstrued," he said.

Providing you with the knowledge and tools needed to succeed with Short Sales
I have been negotiating with Ocuwen to get a short sale approved for a client. After the initial runaround of having to send the same paperwork in over and over only to be told that FHA will not allow the short sale and that my client will be forced into a loan modification program that she is unable to pay, I remain diligent to help these people.
My concern is that although FHA specifically states that they have the right to do this hold the sellers to a loan modification program, the banks are not all treating the guidelines the same. Some are following, others aren't. How is this determination made and is this not discrimination? Who gets the short sale pass and who is held to the guideline?
Although we are continually told that there will be a universal process implemented or has already been, the rules change depending on who is doing the negotiating from one minute to the next.
Has anyone had a successful escalation with this issue? Please advise.

FHA guidelines are pretty similar from lender to lender. In order for a short sale to occur your client needs to be dis-qualified for a modification. Typically the FHA loan modification is based on a front end DTI of 31% and a back end DTI of 55%. It is fairly standardized. Ocwen is only covering their butt, in order to meet the insurance requirements.
Per the FHA Short Sale guidelines, the borrower must first be denied or approved for a modifcation prior to submitting for a short sale. FHA does waive the modification only if there is a job transfer to another state or death of a primary borrower. This is on a case by case basis. If the borrower has been denied or approved for a modifcation prior then submit the modification denial or approval to OCWEN. I am a DE Underwriter and Realtor and have cloed quite a few FHA short sales with various lenders.

He spends all his time on the computer. I don't think he even knows what I look like after being his patient for several years. He used to be much better but since he has been trying to expand his practice it's been down hill and he has a huge staff turn over. When I first started going there they were nice and got to know the patients but now every time I go there are new people working there and they are becoming less and less professional. During one of my procedures he was more concerned with his corvette getting fixed than helping me.
Very happy so far, don't feel pressured but I feel like I'm in good hands!
When I first starting see Dr. Hilgenhurst he seemed to really care & understand & worked to get pain level under control with different medicine until he found the dosage, but now everytime I go I never see him & the last several times there is a whole new staff working there?! That is kind of a red flag?! What's going on & the staff out front & they are not caring & seem to not care about anything! I have not seen the same nurse since I first started going about 4 years & since I haven't seen dr hilgenhurst, I seen about three new nurse helpers, I feeling like nobody cares about my health when I cannot even see the same person that knows my situation? I feel very confused on why everyone has left?
From personal My experience I'll say this. Go to any other Pain doctor. I had injections, neurofrequecy. I'm positive they didn't put any sedation in iv nor any local anaesthetic. I felt every needle stick of that 25 gauge needle. I was crying and screaming for him to stop, that I was hurting. He told me to hold still. I felt a painful tingle down to my toes. After they unrestrained me my right side to my feet was numb. With help from another patients son or grandson I could barely walk to my ride waiting for me. I didn't have shots again for two years. He never ran any nerve test. Only mri . He gave me info for spinal cord stimulator after 5 yrs. If I'd had this trial the first year instead of just medication I possibly would not have scoliosis, tear & severe neuropathy. I can barely walk due to incomplete diagnosis and treatment.
horrible md and staff
very caring doctor, very pleased with dr. & staff,i would highly recomend him to anyone with with neck & back pain.
Dr. Hilgenhurst is a true professional that cares. I have been seeing him for three years through multiple surgeries. He basically knows my pain level as soon as he sees me. I would hate to think of going through what I have in the past few years without him. Other doctors could learn from him on how to treat people. His staff is top notch and also caring.
I have been seeing Dr. Hilgenhurst for over a year now. He is an excellent Dr, his stall is the best. He always takes the time you need for explaining my diagnosis and when will be the next option of treatment. He is very caring and understanding. I have multiply issues and he has been very through with everything. I would highly recommend Dr.Hilgenhurst.
When I first came to this office I wasn't sure what to exprct in the way of pain relief. Doctor H. took his time listened to my every concern and treayed me accordingly. With each followup visit he confirmed the course of treatment and increased or decreased the medication as needed. I feel as though he cares about ME not just my condition. I would recommend he to anyone in pain. And have on several occasions
Dr Hilgenhurst is a great doctor. After having four back surgeries he has greatly miniumized my pain level with different nerve blocks and epidurals.I have recommend him to all my friends who have pain issues.
I was in alot of pain before i met dr. hilgenhurst,lots of doctors told me there was nothing they could do,they were wrong.
I have been extremely impressed with my care from Dr Hilgenhurst and his entire staff. He is always working to find the cause and proper treatment of my condition. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional pain clinic. They do Not take people seeking pain meds, they treat people with verifiable medical conditions who have Real pain.
He's very professional. seems to know exactly what he's doing. he gets the job done. The staff is very professional except the receptionist. most of his patients are in great pain when they arrive, and I don't like the silly joking that she thinks is funny.
I have had problems with many of my doctors over the years. This staff really cares about your health and not just a payment. They have helped me out as I get older and fall apart more. Thank you all for the help and respect you have given me. It has really made a difference.
I am always treated with respect and concern, listened to and my input is taken into consideration when my treatment plan needs to be "tweeked". I feel I can talk WITH Dr.Hilgenhurst & his staff instead of being talked "TO". This, along with his knowledge & experience make him my only choice in providers for pain management.
I don't know what I would have done had I not found him. I saw so many doctors before him that just treated me as though I were seeking medication. Dr. Hilgenhust listened and kept looking until he found the cause of my pain.I finally now have relief and am on my way to healing...he really has change my life.
Everyone in the office is very professional, kind and caring. Dr Hilgenhurst is very kind and thorough. Takes all the time I need and answers all my questions. Dr. Carroll is a very caring and gives me shots in my knees that don't hurt! He also has a great beside manner.
Office staff rude! Loud and Laughing the whole time i was in there waiting over three hours total. He needs to hire a professional front person who can keep something as simple as appts straight.
After several doctors and many failed attempt of trying to get my pain under control Dr. Hilgenhurst has been the blessing I needed. My pain before was an 8 or 9 most days, now it is rarely more than a 2. His staff is pleasant well informed and sympathetic. I only wish I had found this practice sooner.
Excellent care, 100% accuracy with management of pain.

Cheddar Rice Souffle (Leftover Rice)
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 30 mins
Uses 2 cups of cooked white rice. It's from Traditions by the Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child, submitted by Theresa Patterson. If you double this recipe, double the cooking time too. I haven't made this yet but it sounds like a quick and easy recipe that kids would like too.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 1⁄4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups milk, hot
- 2 cups white rice, cooked
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2 eggs
- paprika (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix the butter, cheese and milk.
- Add the cooked rice, salt, and mustard.
- Beat eggs slightly and add to the mixture.
- Stir and pour into a greased, shallow, 9 inch X 9 inch or 7 inch X 11 inch casserole dish.

Really easy & yummy recipe.
I amended the recipe and added some marinated roasted red peppers, as well as some parm cheese, black pepper and a bit less milk.
I also topped it with some smoked paprika and some french fried onions for some crunch.
Great recipe and a keeper. Thanks Oolala.
I found this looking for something to do with a bunch of leftover basmati rice. Very tasty, although a very mild flavor. I like Martha's suggestion in the future of adding something like chiles or other spices to bump up the flavor. Seeing didyb's review, I decreased the amount of milk to around 1 2/3 cup and used a bit extra rice (around 1/4 cup extra). I also increased the cook temp to 375 and it still took about 45 min. I suspect we will be making this again, with some modifications as I mentioned already.
It was good. I had to increase the temp and cook time to get in done in 45 minutes. Next time I will decrease the amount of milk by 1/2 cup to help it get done in 30 minutes at 350. I had leftover mexican rice so it had some extra flavor to it. The idea of adding chilies is a good idea. Thanks for a good rice recipe.

EPA Regulations Probably Won't Tell Us Everything In Fracking Fluid
CREDIT: Associated Press
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took a cautious step Friday towards requiring drilling companies to disclose what chemicals they pump into the earth in fracking operations. The agency is starting to look into asking drilling companies reveal some or all of the chemicals they pump into the ground as part of hydraulic fracturing, several years after the start of an oil and gas boom brought on by fracking. The whole system is likely to be voluntary and there are likely to be exceptions for chemicals the industry wants to keep secret, meaning real disclosure is still not on the table.
Companies pump millions of gallons of water mixed with chemicals, known and unknown, into the earth for each drill site. Much of this flows back to the surface. The federal government doesn't require disclosure of which chemicals are in the mixture, though some state governments require partial disclosure — except for the chemicals that companies decide they want to keep secret.
This flowback water, or wastewater, is one of the greatest potential health threats from fracking operations, as it's been known to spill or be treated inadequately before being released into rivers and other surface water. A growing number of states are banning even treated wastewater from being dumped within their borders. A large portion of it remains underground.
Only a few studies have examined the health effects of direct exposure to fracking wastewater, but one from Cornell found that cows experienced consequences ranging from near-immediate death, to stillbirths, to birth defects persisting for years after exposure to spills. Studies on fracking's health effects are limited due to a deliberate effort by the industry and allied lawmakers to interfere. Even when people successfully sue drilling companies for hurting their health, the companies prefer to settle and impose a gag order on the harmed individuals so that their poisoning doesn't become public record.
The EPA is starting by soliciting opinions from the industry, environmental groups, health care organizations, states, and the public on the idea of requiring companies to list the chemical components in fracking fluid. The EPA has made clear that they will consider allowing some chemical ingredients to remain secret, as drillers claim that revealing their formulas would allow other drillers to copy them. And they are also open to disclosure being voluntary. It is unclear how drillers keeping chemicals a secret benefits the public or why regulators might allow it, except that the drilling companies want to keep it that way and hold significant sway over the process. But the lengths that they go to in order to keep their secrets can approach absurdity, including preventing doctors from telling their patients which toxic chemicals are poisoning them.
One driller, Baker Hughes, announced in April that it will disclose all the chemical ingredients in its fracking fluid, which would be a first for the industry. The site FracFocus, a partnership between water regulators and the industry, lets companies voluntarily report chemicals used already, with exceptions for the chemicals they don't want to mention.
Drillers are complaining, predictably, about the EPA's move toward regulation. They claim that it is 'unnecessary and duplicative,' according to a statement from API spokesman Zachary Cikanek. But the EPA could avoid duplicating existing regulations by going further: making disclosure mandatory and applying it to all chemicals pumped into the ground.

Simplified method for determining piezoelectric constants for thickness mode transducers64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382109View Description Hide Description
A procedure is described for obtaining the stress constant e 33 for an arbitrary piezoelectric transducer operating in the thickness mode. A closed‐form solution is is developed which uses measurements of the electrical impedance of the transducer as input. Verification of the calculated parameters is accomplished by incorporating them into a computermodel of the transducer. A discussion of various methods of obtaining the clamped capacitanceC 0 is included as well as a calculation of an equivalent resistance to represent losses in the ceramic. Numerical examples are presented.
Array shading for a broadband constant directivity transducer64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382110View Description Hide Description
The theory of a broadband constant directivity transducer is developed. The transducer is an array of isophase, omnidirectional elements on an acoustically transparent spherical surface. It is shown that, with appropriate amplitude shading of the array elements, the beam pattern has no side lobes and the directivity is constant at all frequencies above a cutoff frequency (determined by the beam width and the radius of the sphere.) A shading function is derived, which consists of a simple linear combination of powers of cos ϑ, and several beam patterns are calculated.
Improved design of spherical multimode hydrophone64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382111View Description Hide Description
An improved design is made for a spherical multimode hydrophone by dividing each hemisphere into two zones and selecting the position of the line of division between them, so that the resonances associated with higher modes of the spherical shell vibrations, specifically n=3 and n=5 modes in the present case, are eliminated. The elimination of these resonances has led to the provision of a frequency‐independent dipole pattern over a wide range of frequencies. The present theory includes the effect of spherical shell bending, since it is important at higher modes. Accordingly, the resonant frequencies are clearly identified by the associated mode numbers. In both theory and experiment, these resonant effects were eliminated by employing the newly designed hydrophone.
Theoretical response of condenser microphones64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382112View Description Hide Description
Modifications to prior theory yield expressions for the frequency response and equivalent lumped elements of a condensermicrophone in terms of its fundamental geometrical and material properties. Results of the analysis show excellent agreement with experimental data taken on B&K pressure microphone types 4134 and 4146.
On fiber‐optic hydrophone sensitivity64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382113View Description Hide Description
Previous treatments of fiber‐optic hydrophone sensitivity have neglected the effect of dimensional changes of the fiber in response to acoustic pressure. It is shown here that the changes in length actually contribute more to hydrophone sensitivity than do the refractive index changes; the two contributions are of opposite sign. An experiment verifying the sensitivity calculation was performed using 60‐kHz pulses from a spherical source.
Rapid withdrawal from a sound source by open‐ocean sharks64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382114View Description Hide Description
Studies undertaken in the Straits of Florida and the Tongue of the Ocean (TOTO), Bahamas, have established that silky sharks, C a r c h a r h i n u s f a l c i f o r m i s, while approaching a source of underwater sound, will withdraw rapidly from its vicinity if specified changes occur in the nature of the transmitted sound. These changes include: 1) an increase in level of the sound being transmitted (approximately 20 dB) and 2) an abruptness by which that level is achieved. Augmenting factors may include sudden changes in the spectral or temporal qualities of the transmitted sound. Although a biological sound (killer whale scream) could elicit clear withdrawal, it possessed no unique quality; rather, more simply constructed sounds, possessing only a restricted band of frequencies and lacking frequency‐modulation, were equally effective. Habituation of the response was apparent during successive tests. All results closely followed those obtained on lemon sharks, N e g a p r i o n b r e v i r o s t r i s, during a concurrent study (to be reported elsewhere). In the presence of added stimulants (chopped, fresh fish) withdrawal could be elicited in small silky sharks for only a short time. Limited testing of oceanic whitetip sharks,C a r c h a r h i n u s l o n g i m a n u s, showed that extremely limited withdrawal could also be elicited in that species.
Longitudinal pulse propagation characteristics in striated muscle64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382115View Description Hide Description
The real part of the complex Young's modulus of whole frog sartorius muscle in the resting state was derived from step pulse propagation data in the frequency range of 1.0–10 000 Hz. The derivation was based on Fourier integral analysis of the shapes of the propagated pulses to obtain velocities and attenuation coefficients for various harmonic frequencies. The results were consistent with previous sinusoidal wave propagation studies in the higher‐frequency range. The general frequency response of the muscle was analogous to the ''standard linear solid'' model. The relaxation time spectrum derived from the modulus–frequency function showed similar spectral contents to spectra obtained with other methods. The advantages and limitations of the pulse method are discussed.
Factors contributing to the multiple rate of piano tone decay64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382116View Description Hide Description
Causes for the decrease in rate of piano tone decay with time of tone duration were investigated, including the following: different rates for different vibration modes or groups of modes, nonlinear transformation of mechanical energy to acoustical energy, storage of mechanical energy for subsequent acoustical radiation, transfer of energy between string modes perpendicular and parallel to the bridge, interference among strings that are almost exactly in tune, and change in rate of energy transfer from the multiple‐string source to the bridge during the transition from an initial in‐phase condition to a later out‐of‐phase condition. The last two closely related factors were found to control the rate change in most cases.
Linear prediction analysis of speech based on a pole‐zero representation64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382117View Description Hide Description
Speech analysis and synthesis by linear prediction is based on the assumption that the short‐time spectral envelope of speech can be represented by a number of poles. An all‐pole representation does not provide an accurate description of speech spectra, particularly for nasals and nasalized sounds. This paper presents a method for characterizing speech in terms of the parameters of a pole‐zero model. In this method,an impulse response representing the composite filtering action of the glottalwave, the vocal tract, the radiation, and the speech recording system is first constructed from the speech signal.This impulse response is obtained by performing several stages of all‐pole LPC analysis. The pole‐zero parameters are determined from the impulse response by solving a set of simultaneous linear equations. The method, being noniterative, is very suitable for automatic analysis of speech. The method has been applied to real speech data and the results show that the speech spectra derived from the pole‐zero model agree very closely with the actual spectra derived by direct Fourier analysis.
Technique for the perceptual investigation of F 0 contours with application to French64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382118View Description Hide Description
Two experimental techniques were used in this study: (1) an analysis of F0 contours of French sentences containing words likely to express the speaker's attitude (modals, negative, adverbs, quantifiers) and (2) listener's judgements of the naturalness of synthetic sentences in which the F0 contour was systematically manipulated. The F0 contours were characterized by schematic patterns [J. Vaissière Res.Lab.Electron., Q.Prog.Report No. 115, MIT, 251–262 (1975)]. For all the sentences that were studied, the configurations of patterns frequently observed in the analyzed corpus were judged most natural when synthethized. This result suggest that the features of the F0 contours most relevant to naturalness are preserved in the pattern representation. Three types of patterns were distinguished: (1) a prominent, demarcative pattern (P2); (2) a prominent, nondemarcative pattern (PE); (3) nonprominent, nondemarcative patterns. A P2 pattern often occurred at the end of a syntactic constituent. Listeners' judgements showed that a P2 at the end of a syntactic constituent is rarely required for naturalness, but a P2 in contradiction to syntax causes unnaturalness. Prominent patterns (P2 or PE) often occurred on negatives, adverbs, and quantifiers. However, the presence or absence of a prominent pattern on these words does not affect naturalness.
Identification of deleted consonants64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382100View Description Hide Description
VC transitions have often been found to be better cues for the identification of deleted consonants than CV transitions. The lower score for CV transitions could very well be due to an interfering ''click sensation'' caused by the abrupt begining of these transitions. In the present investigation the abrubt onset was eliminated by replacing the deleted portions of the consonants with noise bursts; this also caused the incomplete syllables to sound more natural. The results show that the identification of deleted initial voiceless plosives is greatly improved by the addition of noise. The original difference between initial and final plosive transitions disappears almost completely.
Selective anchoring and adaptation of phonetic and nonphonetic continua64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382101View Description Hide Description
A series of four experiments compared the effects of unequal probability anchoring and selective adaptation on phonetic and nonphonetic judgments. The basic stimulus series was a synthetic stop consonant continuum ranging from /b/ to /d/. On this continuum were superimposed covariations in fundamental frequency, intensity or vowel. In each experiment subjects listened to identical test tapes under two judgment conditions: place of articulation, and pitch or loudness or vowel judgments. The two types of judgment were significantly dissociated under both anchoring and adaptation paradigms, thus demonstrating that the former may be no less selective than the latter. From this and other evidence, it was concluded that the two paradigms are, in principle, equivalent, and that the main factors in speech adaptation effects are peripheral fatigue and central auditory contrast. If the selective processes of fatigue and contrast are taken to reflect functional channels of analysis rather than the operation of feature detectors, the same broad processes can be seen at work in both speech and nonspeech adaptation.
Invariant cues for place of articulation in stop consonants64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382102View Description Hide Description
In a series of experiments, identification responses for place of articulation were obtained for synthetic stop consonants in consonant–vowel syllables with different vowels. The acoustic attributes of the consonants were systematically manipulated, the selection of stimulus characteristics being guided in part by theoretical considerations concerning the expected properties of the soundgenerated in the vocal tract as place of articulation is varied. Several stimulus series were generated with and without noise bursts at the onset, and with and without formant transitions following consonantal release. Stimuli with transitions only, and with bursts plus transitions, were consistently classified according to place of articulation, whereas stimuli with bursts only and no transitions were not consistently identified. The acoustic attributes of the stimuli were examined to determine whether invariant properties characterized each place of atriculation independent of vowel context. It was determined that the gross shape of the spectrum sampled at the consonantal release showed a distinctive shape for each place of articulation: a prominent midfrequency spectral peak for velars, a diffuse‐rising spectrum for alveolars, and a diffuse‐falling spectrum for labials. These attributes are evident for stimuli containing transitions only, but are enhanced by the presence of noise bursts at the onset.
Some figural properties of auditory patterns64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382103View Description Hide Description
Listeners identified one of six permutations of three frequencies, presented as brief three‐note melodies. Identification performance remained high in spite of transposition of the original three frequencies throughout a two‐octave range, so long as the musical intervals or frequency ratios between the adjacent pairs of frequencies remained constant. Even when those intervals were compressed or expanded, while remaining about equal to each other, identification was quite good for the range between the lowest and highest frequency of no more than approximately 1/3 octave. Performance decreased sharply when the span was much wider. Unequal intervals, where the low and middle frequencies were closer together or farther apart than the middle and high frequencies, did not retain good identification performance. When the three‐tone patterns were embedded in longer sequences of seven or eight tones, the identification performance was best when the pattern occurred at the beginning or the end of the sequence, and when the range of frequencies from which the irrelevant background tones were chosen lay outside the range of pattern frequencies. Under conditions where the background frequencies were fixed and the pattern frequencies were moved, thus combining the manipulation of embedding with that of transposition of the pattern, overlap of pattern and background frequencies was still the principal cause of deterioration in performance. The findings are related to some analogies to the perceptual rules of Gestalt theory, as well as to certain aspects of musical practice.
Stimulated acoustic emissions from within the human auditory system64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382104View Description Hide Description
A new auditory phenomenon has been identified in the acoustic impulse response of the human ear. Using a signal averaging technique, a study has been made of the response of the closed external acoustic meatus to acoustic impulses near to the threshold of audibility. Particular attention has been paid to the waveform of the response at post excitation times in excess of 5 ms. No previous worker appears to have extended observations into this region. The response observed after about 5 ms is not a simple extension of the initial response attributable to the middle ear. The oscillatory response decay time constant was found to change from approximately 1 ms to over 12 ms at about this time. The slowly decaying response conponent was present in all normal ears tested, but was not present in ears with cochlear deafness. This component of the response appears to have its origin in some nonlinear mechanism probably located in the cochlea, responding mechanically to auditory stimulation, and dependent upon the normal functioning of the cochlea transduction process. A cochlear reflection hypothesis received some support from these results.
Temporal factors and suppression effects in backward and forward masking64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382105View Description Hide Description
We discuss several experiments examining the influence of temporal parameters on suppression effects in backward and forward masking. The signal is always a brief 10‐ms 2‐kHz sinusoid; the masker a narrow band of noise of 40‐dB spectrum level, 200‐Hz wide, centered at the signal frequency. In some conditions, the presence of a second band of noise of the same spectral level in the region of 2300−3700 Hz appears to suppress the effects of the masker. Changes in the amount of suppression are examined as functions of the delay and duration of the suppressor (experiments 1 and 2). Adding the suppressor during the 50‐ms interval nearest the signal produces changes in the signal threshold that are similar to those produced by reducing the level of the masker during this interval for both backward and forward masking (experiment 4). The similarity of these results suggests the operation of peripheral processes common to both backward and forward masking. However, if one increases the duration of the suppressor beyond this 50‐ms interval there is no effect on forward masking, but large additional reductions in backward masking. This difference, in conjunction with other recent experiments, suggests the operation of additional central processes in backward masking. For some observers, these additional processes appear to operate over fairly long periods of time (250–500 ms). Such long durations are inconsistent with the estimates of integration time (?200 ms) obtained for these same observers (experiment 3).
Action potentials in the cat at low sound intensities: Thresholds, latencies, and rates of change64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382106View Description Hide Description
The interpretation of whole‐nerve action potentials is a topic of increasing importance in both clinical and research settings. This effort has been hampered by a lack of data on the action potential that are theoretically interpretable and systematically measured over a wide range of frequencies and at low sound intensities. Therefore, the present study was designed to measure the thresholds, latencies, and rates of change in the whole‐nerve action potential in response to constant‐spectral‐width tone pips at eight frequencies between 0.5 and 20 kHz in the cat ear. These quantities were calculated by a linear regression technique from round‐window potentials in 28 normal ears. They were found to be consistently within approximately 18 dB of previously published behavioral measures, a difference attributable to temporal integration. The interanimal variability had a standard deviation of about 5 dB and the intra‐animal variability was extremely low. The growth of amplitude across frequencies, the rate of change of latency with intensity changes, and the latency at threshold all demonstrated orderly relationships which are presented. The data were all consistent with contention that the potentials were being produced by a single population of cells located at a place consistent with the frequency of the eliciting tone. The methods used provide exceedingly stable measures and should be applicable in both clinical and research settings.
Effect of sensorineural hearing loss on acoustic stapedius reflex growth functions64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382107View Description Hide Description
The growth function of the acoustic stapedius reflex was measured in subjects with normal hearing and sensorineural hearing loss of cochlear origin. The effects of age and magnitude of hearing loss were controlled. Activating stimuli were 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz tones and broadband noise. Stapedius muscle activity was inferred from acoustic impedancemeasures in the contralateral ear. The mean growth functions for tones were essentially linear in log–log plots with the rate of growth equal for the two groups. The mean growth function for the noise signal was curvilinear for the normal hearing group and linear for the hearing loss group. Comparison of slope functions derived from the fitted data indicated that the rate of reflex growth for the noise signal, over a limited range above reflex threshold, is greater in ears with cochlear lesions than normal ears. For higher level noise signals, however, the rate of reflex growth is similar for normal and pathological ears. The effect of a cochlear lesion on the input–output function of the cochlea for both tonal and noise stimuli is to maintain the rate of reflex growth but shift the function along the intensity axis of a tonal signal and the response axis for a noise signal.
Nearfield performance of passive correlation processing sonars64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382108View Description Hide Description
Passive correlation processing sonars in which the distance of a moving source from the receivers is not appreciably greater than the inter‐receiver spacing are considered. In the simplified case, where two receivers are employed, the processor chooses one of the received signals as a reference and adds a corrective time delay and Doppler shift to the other signal before the correlation operation is performed. When the processor selects a time delay and Doppler shift corresponding to that present in the signals, the correlation function has a peak. The degree of correlation between the two signals is measured with the use of a passive uncertainty function. An approximation is made for narrow‐band signals which is computationally advantageous. The effects of time delay and constant Doppler shift are discussed, and the degradation resulting from time varying Doppler shift is derived and plotted. Results are presented for both sinusoidal and narrow‐band type signals. A technique of plotting contours of maximum data integration time is developed and shown to significantly reduce the complex problem of studying scenario geometries.
Steady‐state sound in an enclosure with diffusely reflecting boundary64(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.382119View Description Hide Description
An expression is derived for the steady‐state sound energy density in an enclosure containing a distribution of simple sources and having a diffusely reflecting absorbent boundary. Calculation of the reverberant sound energy density requires prior calculation of the wall intensity, which is found by solving an integral equation.Solutions are obtained for a simple source in a spherical enclosure.
