A perturbation technique for the prediction of the displacement of a line-driven plate with discontinuities107(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.428484View Description Hide Description
A novel technique is presented for obtaining approximate analytic expressions for an inhomogeneous line-driven plate. The equation of motion for the inhomogeneous plate is transformed, and the transform of the total displacement is written as a sum of the solution for a homogeneous line-driven plate plus a term due to the inhomogeneity. The result is an integral equation for the transform of the inhomogeneous contribution. This expression may in general be solved numerically. However, by introducing a small parameter into the problem, it may be solved approximately using perturbation techniques. This series may not be convergent, but its convergence may be improved using Padé approximation. Results are presented for the case of a single mass discontinuity, and a distribution of mass discontinuities.
Estimation of fuzzy structure parameters for continuous junctions107(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.428485View Description Hide Description
The fuzzy structure theory introduced 15 years ago is designed to predict the frequency response functions of structures and structural acoustic systems with structural complexity, in the low- and medium-frequency ranges. This paper constitutes a first validation of the fuzzy structure theory for continuous junctions between the master structure and the fuzzy substructures. In addition, a method to estimate the fuzzy structure parameters introduced in the fuzzy structure theory is presented and it is validated for the case of continuous junctions. This validation obtained by numerical simulations opens the field of experimental identifications.
On acoustic and structural modal cross-couplings in plate-cavity systems107(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.428486View Description Hide Description
Modal cross-couplings are sometimes neglected in the prediction of sound field and structural responses of vibroacoustic systems where an enclosed sound field is coupled to a vibrating boundary structure. In such systems, there are two types of modal cross-couplings and they are commonly referred to as acoustic modal cross-coupling (ACC) and structural modal cross-coupling (SCC). The prediction errors generated from neglecting either of these cross-couplings are dependent not only on the modal properties of the vibroacoustic system (e.g., modal densities, dampings, etc.), but also on whether the sound field or the structure is directly driven. However, the physical mechanisms and characteristics of both cross-couplings are not well understood and, consequently, the conditions when ACC or SCC has a significant contribution to the system responses become unknown. This paper presents a mathematical description which allows the two types of modal cross-couplings to be studied independently. This description is then used to obtain the physical mechanisms and features of both cross-couplings. The effects of each type of cross-couplings on the system responses are then investigated and the general conditions under which these modal cross-couplings may be ignored are underlined.
Experimental results for multichannel feedforward ANC with noninvasive system identification107(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.428487View Description Hide Description
This paper presents experimental validation of a class of algorithms designed to enable active noise control (ANC) to function in environments when transfer functions change significantly over time. The experimental results presented are for broadband, local quieting in a diffuse field using a multichannel ANC system. The reverberant enclosure is an ordinary room, measuring approximately and containing a seated occupant, with six microphones defining the quiet zone near the occupant's ears. The control system uses a single reference signal and two error channels to drive four secondary sources. Using an ideal reference sensor, reduction in sound pressure level is obtained at the quiet-zone microphones averaged over the frequency range 50 to 1000 Hz with an occupant seated in the room. Two main results are presented: first for an adaptive cancelling algorithm that uses static system models, and second for the same algorithm joined with a noninvasive real-time system identification algorithm. In the first case better than 23 dB of performance is obtained if the occupant remains still through calibration and testing. In the second case, approximately 18 dB is obtained at the error microphones regardless of the motion of the occupant.
Noninvasive system identification for multichannel broadband active noise control107(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.428555View Description Hide Description
Many real-world applications of active noise control are characterized by transfer functions that vary significantly and unpredictably. The controller's transfer-function models must adapt to these variations. Presented here is a class of adaptive filters that accomplish quasiperiodic system identification updates for feedforward control by using blocks of input–output histories. The algorithms form a one-dimensional family linking normalized least-mean squares (LMS) adaptive filters and block recursive least-squares, termed "block projection" algorithms, and generalize the noninvasive system identification studied by Sommerfeldt and Tichy. The system identification proceeds noninvasively, producing nonparametric impulse responses. Simulations show that the algorithm's convergence is faster than that of normalized LMS, even after the additional overhead of computing the update is taken into account. Both the multichannel generalization and application of these algorithms to system identification are novel. Simulations of the algorithms' performance using measured data are presented here, while experimental results of an implemented algorithm are contained in the companion paper.
Modal control of beam flexural vibration107(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.428488View Description Hide Description
An active control system was developed to control the flexural vibrations of a beam with a modal filtering with only one secondary actuator. Segmented piezoelectric actuators and sensors were used for driving and sensing the bending beam vibrations. The primary actuator was fed by a broadband random disturbance signal in order to excite the first five modes of the structure. However, only the second to fifth modes were controlled. The control algorithm was implemented on a DSP board and the input and output signals were filtered using high order low pass filters. These filters, implemented on the DSP board avoid the degrading effect on the control performances of the higher order modes and which are not controlled. The modal filtering was achieved by computing. To this end, it is based on a previous identification procedure. This latter models, in one step, the dynamics of the structure and also the transfer function of the electronic circuits of the controller. The identified filtered modes were then used to compute the gain matrix using a LQR technique (linear quadratic regulator). Simulations of the active control were carried out and practical implementation of the control algorithms was performed. Experimental and simulation results were then compared and discussed.

Blended Scotch whisky needs little introduction. It is the best selling of all whisky, and fills back bars and liquor cabinets the world over, whether it's Ballantine's, Johnnie Walker or Haig. Blended Scotch whisky, like all Scotch whisky, must be matured for at least three years and a day in oak casks. Blended Scotch whisky is made from grain whisky, which is cheap and efficient to produce, though it has a more neutral character, so they include malt whisky as well, this peps everything up and brings body and complexity.

Welcome Dr. Helen Chen to SavantMD and learn about ADHD.
Watch the video below, or Read More.
Most of us have heard of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). You may know someone who has been labeled, and perhaps you may have even wondered if you qualify for the diagnosis. Well, you're not alone –
ADHD is easily misunderstood and can be complicated to diagnose accurately. It has a high prevalence rate in the U.S. with 2-4% of the population that would meet the criteria for ADHD (6-12 million adults), and up to 70% likely to remain undiagnosed.
Before fleeing into a world of diagnostic dilemma, let's get some basic questions answered:
· What is ADHD?
· Why is it so easily misunderstood?
· What resources are available to you if you have ADHD?
What is ADHD?
To meet the criteria for ADHD diagnosis, one must have symptoms of: Inattention, and/or Hyperactivity-impulsivity. Examples of this include difficulty with inhibition, excessive motor activity, or inner restlessness. Primary symptoms must be observable in at least two different social contexts and have an adverse effect on functioning at school, home or work.
Why is it so easily misunderstood?
1. ADHD-like symptoms can be the result of or even present simultaneously with other factors such as anxiety, depression and substance abuse that impact one's ability to concentrate, pay attention, interact with family and coworkers effectively, and carry out daily tasks. It is important to rule these factors out before a diagnosis of ADHD can be made, especially since the treatment is different in every case.
2. ADHD symptoms in a child may be different from symptoms in an adult. Since the adult brain is fully developed, evaluations must take into account the areas of executive functioning (goal directed behaviors such as planning, organization) that would not be expected in children.
What resources are available to you if you have ADHD?
Treatment recommendations are three fold:
1. Education –You can also get familiarized with the American with Disabilities Act for obtaining accommodations. And know that you are not alone, there are good resources available to you. You can refer to CHADD (Children and Adults with ADD) and ADDA (the National ADD Association).
2. Medication – Stimulant and non-stimulant medications can result in significant improvement. There are various types of medications available each with their own benefits and possible side effects, therefore, it's very important to speak with your doctor about which best suits you.
3. Therapy – Due to the high rate of mood, anxiety and drug use disorders amongst the ADHD population, cognitive behavioral therapy can be helpful in the management of these issues.

What's next, pay 10 billion to take over Freddie or Fannie? BMO, trying to grow revenue while dumping profits.
Not in this DECADE !!!lol.......BMO is done dinner !!just take a look at daily sell off and volume !jmho
Why no word from MBO ?
Well, I was responding based on the population of the provinces ( = potential customers)...Japan and England are very small then.
Take a look at Saskatchewan and Manitoba again, this time use a reference for 2010 not 1890.Both are almost 4 times larger than Wisconsin(169k sqkm) Newfoundland is more than 2 times as large and as for PEI, NB and NS, I did say western provinces.
As a shareholder of MI for over a decade, here's my thoughts... MI has good market locations (St Louis, Twin Cities, Indy and largest share of WI). Problem was with mgmt messing up with expanding into Florida and AZ. Hopefully BMO will clean up problem loans and then synergy from recent Amcore purchase will allow them to become market leader in Midwest US.
It seems to me that by buying Anchor and M&I they will be #1 in Wisconsin market. US Bank is here, some credit unions but other than that it seems like small banks that likely will not survive or are not real competition.I am surprised there have not been an anti-competitive concerns raised.
Look at the bright side. If the USA breaks apart, Wisconsin will likely go to Canada. Works for me.

How cold do Australian winters get anyway? I may be from the US state of Washington, but a cousin in Arizona told it's like the hundred teens this summer (so far).
Of course, Australia covers a lot of area too. I know that being near the ocean tends to moderate temperature change, but does the southern part of Australia get a lot of snow, as it is…Souther?
We certainly do get some cold ones here in Melbourne. The record low for June in here was −2.2C (28F). Crazy.
Certainly we get snow, and storms and cyclones are well and truly enough to close a school in Australia.
Exactly how is what is depicted in these panels anything close to "extreme" weather? Looking at Ginger in P2, it can't be much worse than a brisk chill out there.
Nobody ever closed school "because it's just too nice of a day."
It's a cartoon. Try not to analyse it too much champ.

Further, some genetic studies (Cracraft et al. 2004, Fain and Houde 2004, Ericson et al. 2006) have shown that the New World vultures are not closely related to the storks, although their precise phylogenetic relationship to the Falconiformes is yet undetermined (AOU 2007).

It has not been the "summer of love" for Scott Walker's presidential campaign:
• Politico opined: "Scott Walker the biggest loser of the summer." It quoted one Iowa GOP insider saying: "(Walker's) been on all three sides of every two-sided issue. For the last two months (he) hasn't made a single policy pronouncement that he or his staff hasn't had to clarify or clear up within two hours...Unintimidated has given way to uninformed and unprepared";
• Washington Post conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin wrote: Walker "got himself tied up in knots over issues like immigration, doing his best imitation of the worst Mitt Romney flip-flops." Rubin went on to say that Walker should "reconsider whether (he is) ready for primetime";
• The New York Times reported on the reaction of Iowa GOP voters, quoting one as saying: "It's just a show right now. I heard that Scott Walker wants to build a wall on the Canadian border. I didn't realize illegal Canadian immigration was such a big problem";
• Finally, the Washington Post ridiculed Walker with a biting headline: "6 ways Scott Walker has become more Trumpy".
Walker, who led the way in scapegoating (public employees and labor unions), has been outmaneuvered by Donald Trump. New York Times contributing op-ed writer Thomas Edsall commented: "Donald Trump's success is no surprise...(The) most important truth is that a half-century of Republican policies on race and immigration have made the party the home of an often angry and resentful white constituency - a constituency that is now politically mobilized in the face of demographic upheaval." A desperate, faltering Walker now wants to trump Trump on race.
Walker has falsely maligned President Obama, blaming him for "a rise in anti-police rhetoric" and resultant killing of police. However, Washington Post opinion writer Radley Blako wrote: "But Walker is simply wrong ... to say that more oversight and scrutiny of cops have made the job more dangerous. There's no evidence of that. All the available evidence suggests precisely the opposite." (number of police murdered is down 13 - 16 % from last year).
Dishonest, incendiary rhetoric will not compensate for Walker's plummeting polls, complaining donors, critical pundits on the right, unforced errors or sparse campaign crowds. Most of all scapegoater Walker has been trumped by Trump. Perhaps Walker will stagger on. But the fall no longer looks promising. When will the campaign plug be pulled? Will Walker come back to Wisconsin? Stay tuned.

text: Given that gun control is now upon us in the form of "If there are no bullets then guns are nothing more than small clubs", many of us have had to make make concessions on things like primers. Choices like pay up to $75 for a thousand or use something we never even heard of. I'd like to hear from those of you who have done the latter, possibly using what I consider to be "off brand" primers. Since CCI, Remington, Federal etc. have gone the way of the Gooney Bird there are some out there that I have never used and I'd like some input before I plunk down a couple of hundred bucks for 5,000 of an unknown (to me) case of primers off GB or where ever I might find them. Does anybody have any experience with Sellier & Bellot, Tula, Wolf or any others that might be considered non-mainstream but still somewhat available if you're willing to part with the $$$? The majority of my loading is for 45acp but I also load 45 Colt and 44 Special. Any input would be appreciated.

- The Rendering segment engages in the collection and processing of animal by-products. It converts these products principally into usable oils and proteins utilized by the agricultural, leather and oleo-chemical industries.
- The Restaurant Services segment involves in the collection of used cooking oils from food service establishments and recycling them into similar products, such as high-energy animal feed ingredients and industrial oils. It also provides grease trap collection services and sells equipment to restaurants.
Earlier this month Darling released their Q3 earnings to prior year data:
- Revenues were $171.8 million vs. $115.2 million. (An increase of 49%.)
- Selling, general & administrative expenses grew 15%.
- Income before taxes was $19.7 million vs. $2.5 million. (An increase of 688%.)
- Earnings Per Share of .15 vs. .02. (An increase of 650%.)
For the nine months ended September 20, 2007:
- Revenues were $469.9 million vs. $278.9 million in the prior year, advancing 68%.
- Selling, general & administrative expenses rose 21%.
- Pre-tax income was $50.7 million vs. a loss in the prior-year period of $1.9 million.
As the earnings numbers indicate, this is a serious growth story. DAR closed the day at 17X 2007 earnings and 14X 2008 earnings, putting its price/sales at 1.33. The downside is its stock price has increased nearly 40% since its recent low in August. For fiscal year 2007, analysts estimate that DAR will earn $0.56. For the 3rd quarter of fiscal year 2007, DAR announced earnings per share of $0.15, representing 27% of the total annual estimate. So if DAR continues the EPS growth for Q4 of a conservative 400% for year over year (200% less than Q3 and YTD growth), Q4 would post a .28. Putting the fiscal year 2007 EPS at .67, betting the analyst estimates by roughly 20% and a 850% year over year. For fiscal year 2008, analysts estimate that DAR's earnings per share will grow by 27% to $0.71 based on previous estimates.
Additionally, as of October 24, 2007, Darling International Inc. moved from the AMEX to begin trading on the NYSE. This switch will increase Darling's trading and brokerage coverage.
Other Considerations
On September 27, 2007, the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (the Act) was signed into law as a result of Congressional concern for pet and livestock food safety, following the discovery of adulterated imported pet and livestock food in March 2007. The Act directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services [HHS] and the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] to promulgate significant new requirements for the pet food and animal feed industries. The impact of the Act on Darling is still up in the air until further clarification by the FDA. Based on some common sense assumption, one would expect for the Act to call for further requirements that would be inline with potential growth for Darling.
Upon listening to the Q3 press release, there was some talk of future acquisitions to further help Darling's International growth. Currently, Darling receives 25% of its revenue from international markets (China, Europe, Canada and Mexico).
Secret Weapon…
The hidden gem: the aftermath of deep fryers and restaurants' grease traps (aka - yellow grease). I'm not talking about Homer Simpson selling grease for extra cash. Experts predict that the US produces enough yellow grease annually to generate over 500 million gallons of biodiesel. Darling has already seen its alternative by-products increase significantly, with significantly more room to grow.
I leave you with a quote from Backdraft as an omen to Biodiesel consumption, when DeNiro's character asks Donald Sutherland what he would like to do to the whole world:
"Burn it all." (Insert creepy Sutherland laugh here).
Disclosure: Author has a long position in DAR in several portfolios, but positions can change any time.

Firm sees apps driving 50% sales growth for Apple through 2012The founder of a prominent market research firm said Wednesday that he expects Apple to continue to post more than 50 percent sales growth over the next two years as burgeoning demand for mobile applications drives sales of Apple's mobile devices.
George Colony, founder and CEO of Forrester Research, made the predictions in an interview with Bloomberg.
Projecting Apple's current growth rates for the next few years, Colony sees the Cupertino, Calif., company's revenue surpassing that of other well-established tech giants. "Theyll be bigger than IBM next year, and theyll be bigger than HP the year after that, Colony said. Assuming that current growth rates continue, "theyre going to be a $200 billion revenue company, he said.
When measured in terms of market capitalization, Apple became the world's largest technology company last year when it passed rival Microsoft. Shares of Apple have continued to climb since then, with the company's market cap topping $300 billion at the start of 2011.
Though Apple stock fell $2.01 to $339.19 on Wednesday, the company is up 5.2 percent since the beginning of the year.
Analyst consensus estimates also see Apple growing sales by over 50 percent to more than $100 billion in fiscal 2011, which ends in September, but some analysts see the company's growth slowing to around 18 percent in 2012.
Colony sees Apple's growth being driven by what he calls an "app Internet," where consumers and businesses rely on app for content and services, rather than the Web.
However, Colony's bullish outlook is tempered by concerns over Apple CEO Steve Jobs' health. Though he surmised that the company has a product pipeline set up for the next three to four years, an unexpected departure from the company by Jobs would affect Apple's product line and stock price.
Remember, every two years they have to fill that store with new stuff, Colony said, referring to Apple Retail Stores. Without Steve Jobs as the CEO, I think it will be much harder for them to do that. That would be a massive, massive hit to the valuation.
Jobs is currently on medical leave, though he remains involved in major strategic decisions.
During the interviw, Colony warned that Apple rival Google, which he claims relies too heavily on the Web, could struggle as consumers gravitate toward apps. If youre too Web-centric right now, youre in trouble, he said. Googles business model is completely based on you going to the Web and clicking on a link and seeing an ad impression. In the app Internet world, all of that goes away.
The executive also cautioned that Google may face troubled times when co-founder Larry Page takes over for Eric Schmidt as CEO next month. When it comes to Larry Page I have two words for you, Colony said. Jerry Yang."
Yang, who co-founded Yahoo, became CEO of his company in 2007, but was unable to turn the company around. He eventually stepped down in 2009 after critics blamed him for mishandling negotiations of a takeover by Microsoft.

A new eyeless cavefish is described from Indiana and named after the Indiana Hoosiers. It is the first new cavefish species described from the U.S. in 40 years. Notably, it has an anus right behind its head, and the females brood their young in their gill chamber. The new species was described in the open access journal ZooKeys.
The new species, Amblyopsis hoosieri, is the closest relative of a species (A. spelaea) from the longest cave system in the world, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. These two species are separated by the Ohio River, which also separates the states of Indiana and Kentucky.
The species from south of the Ohio River, A. spelaea, has a knockout mutation in the genetic sequence of rhodopsin, a gene important in vision. The new species, on the other hand, lacks this mutation and maintains a functional rhodopsin gene, despite lacking eyes and vision. The new species shows distinct morphological differences compared to its southern congener. It has a plumper, Bibendum-like body and shorter fins. It also has smaller mechanosensory neuromasts on papillae, which allow them to sense movement in the dark waters of the caves they are found in.
The authors decided to name the new species, A. hoosieri, the Hoosier Cavefish, not only after the Indiana Hoosiers team, but mainly to honor the proximity of the new species to Indiana University and several famed ichthyologists who worked there. "The senior author of the manuscript is a fervent fan of Indiana Hoosier basketball, but the first author is an alumni of the University of Michigan and is not. Also notable is that the middle author of the publication is currently an undergraduate at Louisiana State University." explain the authors.

We thank Dr Cammarota and his group for taking the time to comment on our recent study.1 The diagnosis of nonulcer dyspepsia was made on clinical grounds as described in our study.1 Patients without symptoms were not enrolled in the study; base upper endoscopy was performed only on symptomatic patients. Our cohort of subjects did involve patients referred to the gastrointestinal unit at San Francisco General Hospital, San Francisco, Calif. However, if this indeed represents a group with more severe symptoms than most, as suggested by Cammarota et al, any benefit from treatment would have been more likely to be detected by our study compared with a cohort with less severe symptoms.

September 2016 meeting: Jon Sauer - Chattering on the lathe
This was the follow-on to the July meeting during which Jon Sauer described the technique of chattering. Because the elevator was broken in July and the lathe was not available, Jon chatted instead of chattering. This time we saw the real thing. Jon gave us a very comprehensive description and demonstration.
August 2016 meeting: Annual Club BBQ
The annual WBW BBQ was held on August 9. As is our custom, we were hosted by Jim Laflin. His back yard is the perfect setting for our annual event. He has an area for cooking and eating. His shop is always a touring treat.
There is space for a tool auction and wood raffle. We were again fortunate to have parking avalable next door. George Lutz is our new chef. He cooked a tasty BBQ assisted by retiring chef Larry Maggi. Thank you Jim, George, Larry and everyone who helped!
July 2016 meeting: Jon Sauer - Chatter
Chatter is the process of creating a symetrical pattern on a wood turned piece. The pattern is typically created on the end grain (but not always). A tool, created for the purpose, is held in a certain way, with the lathe turning at a certain speed. Jon treated us to many examples of pieces treated by chatter. Among those were perfume bottles and other pieces beautifully turned on his ornamental lathe and further decorated by chatter technique. Demonstration on a lathe will be done at a later time.
June 2016 meeting: Bob Bley - Natural Edge
After showing many of the pieces he has produced, Bob took us through the process of turning a natural edge bowl. Starting with a raw blank, he first shaped the outside then the inside. Of course the non-uniform edge presents the biggest challenge. With finesse and proper presentation of the bowl gouge to the natural edge, Bob pulled off a great presentation and ended with a nice looking piece. He discussed the option of using a strobe which was the subject of a previous demo.
Sharon Doughtie - Saturday July 30 2016
The demonstration was held at the Bridges Church.
She did no wood turning, but instead she showed us how to create Celtic knots and to do specialized carving.
The Celtic knot is an interesting example of artwork to grace the surface of a woodturning.
Sharon is an expert at creating the outline and implimenting it by burning and she showed us how.
Much time was spent discussing the burning tools and describing and demonstrating burning the design into the wood.
Additionally she demonstarted power carving, an example of which was the carving of feet on a bowl.

Oh the joy! Not only was Carter back, and Benton AND Carol Hathaway, but the God of all sex Gods George Clooney once again donned his scrubs and filled them very nicely, stepping back into his role as Doug Ross as though he'd never been away. He looked, and was, fabulous in his portrayal of Doug last night; it was as if he'd come home… and it made my day!
And in addition to the return of some old favourites character-wise, NBC really pushed the boat out and had Susan Sarandon and Ernest Borgnine making guest appearances as well!
In case you missed it, the major storyline throughout the episode was that several patients were awaiting transplants in various parts of the States, John Carter in renal failure at Northwestern hospital included…
In Seattle, a young boy was hit by a drunk driver and pronounced brain dead and initially, his grandmother, played by Sarandon, agreed to donate his organs however, when she went to say a final goodbye to the boy, she squeezed his hand and he squeezed back…
This is where Carol Hathaway and Doug Ross really began to come into play as they both patiently explained that this was merely a spinal cord reflex, but for the grandmother, it was a sign that the boy wasn't brain dead, and she withdrew her consent for organ donation.
Meanwhile, 'transporters' of the organs had arrived in Seattle from all over America, and from County, Neela and Sam were waiting to collect a heart for one of their patients, Joanie. While all the medics sat in the doctor's lounge in Seattle waiting for a decision from the now highly distraught grandmother, Doug wandered in to say hi and when he asked Neela and Sam where they were from, with a wry smile and a slight shake of the head, he said, "I did my residency there" and went on to ask about a number of the characters who've left, but one still remained; Anspaugh. And of course, as Sam and Neela turned up at County way after Doug and Carol left, they had no knowledge of 'who' they were.
And while all that was going on, we were treated to scenes featuring Noah Wyle as John Carter and Eriq LaSalle as Peter Benton who both also waited anxiously for the kidney that would come from the brain dead boy… if the grandmother gave her permission. Their anxiety was covered by jokey dialogue but a few tender and heartfelt moments were shared when the two discussed their relationships and particularly John's recent break-up with wife Kem.
Back at County, a young woman brought in a dangerously dehydrated newborn, saying she'd found him outside but it transpired that she was actually the baby's mother so we saw the normally rock-hard-ice-maiden Banfield pleading and begging the girl to stay so that social services could help sort things out for her so that she could keep her baby, but she ran away leaving Banfield close to tears.
Also, Gates and Daria tended to Marjorie, an 84-year-old MS patient who'd been vomiting and had a fever for two days. Marjorie's husband Paul – the awesome Borgnine – explained that Marjorie doesn't talk much, but "she's still sharp as a tack." He'd been devotedly attending to her every need at home and knew that's where Marjorie wanted to be; not in a hospital. Gates agreed to see what he could do about getting her care at home, much to Daria's horror but he explained that the lady was clearly dying and it was her right to have her wishes respected.
Over in Seattle, after Doug has worked his Doctor-knows-best charm on the grandmother, she consented to allow her grandson's organs to be donated and the action kicked off with the transplant teams all going their separate ways. However, Carol asks Sam if – on their way to County with their heart – they could detour to take a kidney to Northwestern, with no idea that the kidney is for John Carter, to whom she was very close for many years while the two worked at County together, which I thought was a great twist.
So off Sam and Neela raced with their organs in boxes only to find that the plane that brought them had left without them but after persuading the flight coordinator to help them out, they found the only possible flight was to be shared with a reggae band on their way to a gig.
Anyway, all the organs arrived at their destinations and Carter was whisked off into theatre for his kidney transplant – with Benton at his side and trying to talk him into calling Kem to let her know what was going on – while at County, Joanie was taken off for her heart transplant. Her little daughter Lucy had been keeping a vigil at her side but the gorgeous Brenner went to keep her company while her mother was in surgery.
During Carter's op – for which Benton 'scrubbed in' – a clot was discovered in the kidney so it had to be detached and flushed with heparin before being reattached, meaning that John's life was hanging in the balance. However, because of Benton's insistence on doing everything by the book during the op – to the annoyance of the obnoxious surgeon, Dr Kurtag – John comes out of the op well. The kidney was functioning and though he was in pain, he was finally persuaded by Benton to call Kem, so, fighting back tears, he spoke on his cell phone to the woman who's been the love of his life.
Back at County, Neela struggled to get the new heart working in Joanie but she managed it, super-surgeon that she is, and came to see Lucy to tell her that everything had gone well and her mother's new heart was doing its job.
The final scene was of Carol – the lucky moo – in bed with Doug when she got a call from the transplant coordinator to let her know that the heart transplant went well and that the kidney "went to some doctor", still none the wiser that it was her old pal John….
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, the joy of half naked Clooney sent me off to bed feeling like I'd just had a relaxing massage – or something even better…
This was in my opinion the best episode of this final season so far, and that's going some because they've all been excellent, but to see the old characters back was fantastic, and of course, as you'll have gathered, I was especially chuffed to see George!
What did you think of the episode?
Next week's show is entitled, Shifting Equilibrium in which it's Neela's last day but everyone in the ER seems to have forgotten that she's leaving. Neela proves she's ready to be an attending when she and Dr. Dubenko argue about the treatment of two surgical cases. Meanwhile, Brenner has an epiphany about his troubled past…
Here's a sneek peek at this episode in which Neela finally goes to see her ex-love Ray.
Have the tissues at the ready for this one!

Zacks Investment Research cut shares of Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE:WFC) from a hold rating to a sell rating in a report issued on Thursday morning.
According to Zacks, "Wells Fargo's troubles continue to deepen following its $190-million settlement to resolve regulators' claims of illegally opening millions of unauthorized accounts.

However, the fallout from the scam does not only include potential lawsuits and further probes but also tarnishes the reputation of one of the largest banks of the nation.

How to Setup the Sony SR-PC4 for Ethernet Transfer (1GbE and 10GbE) and How to Transfer Files
This information is accurate as of February 2, 2012.
Download this tutorial as a PDF.
Some setup needs to be performed on the SR-PC4 before taking the steps below. Please review our "Primer on Setting Up the Sony SR-PC4 and Choosing a Connection/Transfer Protocol" to make sure your device is ready for further setup.
About the SR-PC4's Ethernet Option
Here is a multi-step guide to connecting your SR-PC4 to your Mac via Ethernet, either Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), and dropping the files off in your boot drive. Once you have this up and running you will see how to place the incoming files wherever you want.
1GbE is the regular Ethernet port that most computers come with as standard. The use of 10GbE requires the installation of a high speed networking card into the computer. The cards recommended in the Sony Installation manual are:
|Card Name
|Intel E10G41AT2
|10GbE - copper
|Intel EXPX9501AFXSR
|10GbE - fiber
|Myricom 10G-PCIE-8B-S
|10GbE - SFP connector
*There are many types of networking cards available from these manufacturers, but please make sure you only get the ones on the approved list.
For file transfer you need Snow Leopard OS or Lion OS installed on your Mac.
Connecting the SR-PC4 via eSATA is certainly a simpler process, and is covered in another tutorial, but the top speeds of a 10GbE network greatly exceed that of eSATA. Connecting to your SR-PC4 via 1GbE or 10GbE requires the use of some higher level IT type commands.
This guide will walk you through connecting your SR-PC4 with your Mac via the standard 1GbE connection.· This connection will be slower than eSATA or 10GbE and only serves as an example of how to hook up a proper 10GbE connection.
Ethernet (1GbE and 10GbE) File Transfer Setup (for Mac only)
The instructions below apply to setting up either 1GbE or 10GbE transfer solutions. If setting up a 10GbE connection, pay attention the extra information needed in Step 13 below.
1) Download the program "NFSManager" at: http://www.bresink.com/osx/NFSManager.html (This is a program that works on OS X Snow Leopard and also Lion.· Its features are limited in Lion, but the features that you will need do work. It does not work on Leopard. It will help set up a share point through NFS (Network File System), which is the file transfer protocol that the SR-PC4 uses.)
2) Enable root access on your Mac. Click "System Preferences" -> "Accounts" -> "Unlock" (click on the lock icon).
- At the bottom of the list of accounts you should click on "Login Options".
- Click "Network Account Server" -> "Join".
- Click "Open Directory Utility" -> "Unlock".
- From the "Edit" menu in the top menu bar, select "Enable Root User".
- Once completed, quit out of "System Preferences".
3) Create an "export" folder
- In the Finder, create a New Window (Command-N).
- In this window, click on your boot drive, and open it up. In that folder (for example "Macintosh HD") create a folder called "export". (Spelling and punctuation are critical.)
- Right-click (Control-click) on this folder, click "Get Info", go to the field "Sharing and Permissions", set to "Read and Write for All Users".
4) Launch NFSManager. (Running in demo mode will get you started.)
5) Select "Share Definitions", hit the "+" icon located on the right side of the screen. (This will create a new share point.· This share point will designate where the SR-PC4 will transfer the files.)· Keep this share point selected.· You will see it has a description next to it of "-ro", denoting it is Read-Only.
6) Now click "Select" immediately below it. In this window, navigate to your "export" folder, and select it.
7) Deselect the button marked: "Share – Read Only" from the same page. (Doing so will remove the "-ro" tag to the right of the share point.)
8) Click "Show Advanced Options". Under the "Options" tab select "Enforce 32-bit folder cookies although NFSv3 requires 64-bits". (This will enable proper communication between the selected folder and the SR-PC4.)
9) Close this window and click "Apply". Enter your password and close NFSManager.
10) On your Mac, go to "System Preference"->"Network".
- Set your IP address to 192.168.0.x (x = any number between 0-255, except for 1).
- Set your Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0
11) Open an internet browser.
- Type in the IP address of the SR-PC4 into your address bar to open the interface to the SR-PC4. (Its default address is 192.168.0.1)
12) Click the tab "Diagnosis" and the sub-tab "Network".
13) Under the heading "Network"(which in this case means 1GbE) enter the following information*:
- IP Address: 192.168.0.1
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Click "Apply".
- Follow the prompt to power cycle the SR-PC4. Wait until it has loaded (5-10 seconds). (You can keep the browser open during this process.)
*If setting up for 10GbE, fill in the same information for "Network 1". If the Ethernet card has two ports, fill in the same information for "Network 2" as well. Just make sure that the correct drive in the "Drive Setup" tab is selected.
14) Once the SR-PC4 has rebooted, stay in the UI (User Interface) and click the tab "Disk Setup".
- Select "NFSv3". Type the following information in the fields:
- Server IP: the IP address of your Mac (same as the one entered in Step 10).
- Server Dir: "/exports". (Please note that drives with spaces in the name will cause a problem. Remove any spaces. To do so properly, go to "Get Info" on the drive, then open the tab "Name and Extension". Changing the name there will cascade the name change throughout the machine.)
- Click "Mount".
Transferring Files
1) At this point, if all the steps have been followed properly and there are no spelling, punctuation or permissions errors, you will get a successful connection and the UI will display the "export" folder in this page.
2)When it is displayed, insert the SR Memory card into the SR-PC4 and click on the tab "Import", then the sub-tab "Mem Control".
3) Select all the clips on the card by shift clicking the first clip in the clip list, then click "Add". (This will load those clips into the transfer queue.)
4) At the bottom of the page, click "Start". The files will transfer over, displaying with a progress bar.
Once successfully copied, these F65RAW files can be viewed in F65RAW Player. F65RAW Player can also output stills in DPX and OpenEXR format.
To manipulate, color and transcode the F65RAW footage, import them into a Baselight, Colorfront or YoDailies system to create dailies, color correct, and/or watch playback.· Blackmagic Resolve support should be available soon, as will other post production programs.
This should get you up and running with 1GbE (Single Gigabit Ethernet). These same instructions hold true for 10GbE as well.
To use 10GbE you will have to fill in additional fields in the "Diagnosis"->"Network" fields for "Network 1" and "Network 2". This process is identical to the one described above, and enables the additional ports. The term used for the 1GbE port is "Network". The term for the 10GbE port is "Network 1". If there is a second port on the card, that can be used as "Network 2".· Make sure that you select the proper drive in the "Drive Setup" tab and you will be off to the races, laying off footage on your 10gig network.
Remember that top read speed on the SRMemory cards is 700MB/sec. The SR-PC4 has to do some muxing to create the MXF file so you won't be able to get that full read speed out to your drive, but it should be something very close.
This is the current procedure recommended by Sony. Unfortunately, this procedure opens up the "export" folder to the entire world, doing away with most of the security protocols typically used in Mac OS X. We recommend disabling all internet access, WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities on any transfer station once it is set up, unless under the control of a IT professional. Band Pro will be providing a future update to this email to provide greater security when that becomes available.
F65RAW Player
At the date of the publication of this manual, HD-SDI playback of F65RAW is not supported.· This will be enabled with the upcoming release of SR-PC4 firmware v1.1.
If requested, F65RAW Player will be provided to Band Pro customers.· It is currently a beta version but will allow software playback of files and adjustment of metadata.· Also, it allows F65RAW files to be output as DPX or OpenEXR stills.· F65RAW Player is only compatible with Mac computers running Lion OS. Contact Randy Wedick for more information.
This manual will be updated regularly in the coming weeks and more topics will be added as well. To stay updated please contact Randy Wedick.

GLAMOUR has now been especially designed for your device!
30-day FREE trial
The up-and-coming Bajan pop fusion band spill the beans on
working with Dappy, their new single Explode and more…
GLAMOUR: You've experienced a pretty rapid rise to fame
over the past few months. How has life changed for
Amanda: "Apart from being busy, it feels pretty much the same,
to be honest. We still only cook at home or go to Nandos to
eat. We still fly coach. We still live on an allowance
set by our manager…"
T-Ray: "We do get recognised at lot more, so actually London now
feels like Barbados where everyone knows you, ha ha."
GLAMOUR: You're just about to release your fourth
single, Explode. Do you feel under pressure to maintain
the same level of success as with your previous
T-Ray: "We feel it from the label, sure, but for us we have
never assumed that previous chart successes are an indication of
future chart success, so we wait and see and continue to work hard
regardless of the outcome."
GLAMOUR: If you were to describe the sound of
Explode to an alien who had never heard pop music before,
what would you tell them?
T-Ray: "I'm scared of Aliens! Yes, I'm letting the world know I
believe they exist, so there is no way I would be speaking to them
at all!"
Amanda: "Ha ha ha… Explode is a great example of Carib
Pop music, which is a fusion of our Caribbean music and mainstream
pop. I wonder if that would make sense to them?"
GLAMOUR: Dappy has a reputation for being a bit of a
troublemaker, but what is he really like to work with?
Amanda: "We have heard that, too, but he seems to always be on
his best behaviour around us! I mean, he is always really
professional and genuinely nice! We really like him a lot.
We feel a connection with him."
GLAMOUR: How did the collaboration with him come about?
Are you fans of N-Dubz?
T-Ray: "Dappy has always been a fan of Cover Drive. He
picked us to be a part of his first solo tour. That was our
first UK tour. So we all had been developing a relationship for a
while. He heard Explode and loved the hook and the
rest is history."
Amanda: "Yes! We love so many things about N-Dubz. Most
importantly the fact that they are all friends who got together and
made music. Reminds us of us!"
GLAMOUR: Who would appear on your ultimate festival
Amanda: "Oooh this is tough! No Doubt, The Wailers,
Coldplay, Rihanna, Blink 182, The Police, Jessie J, Chris Brown and
Cover Drive. Of course we wanna be there!"
GLAMOUR: If you could date any artist in the charts
right now, who would it be and why?
Barry: "Everyone is already paired up here in the UK. Can you
suggest some options for us?"
GLAMOUR: You've got some pretty special tour support
slots coming up. Which are you most looking forward
Jamar: "All of them! Each one hopefully puts us in front
of a new audience. It's great to be able to share our music with
potential new fans."
GLAMOUR: Where can we hear your debut
Amanda: "It's out! Bajan Style! Cheapest trip to
tropical sunshine you can find! Check it out and let us know!"
Cover Drive's new single, Explode, is out now! Check out the
video below, and download it from iTunes here.
