Synaptic devices that mimic the learning and memory processes in living organisms are attracting avid interest as an alternative to standard computing elements that may help extend Moore's law beyond current physical limits.
However so far artificial synaptic systems have been hampered by complex fabrication requirements and limitations in the learning and memory functions they mimic. Now Rui Yang, Kazuya Terabe and colleagues at the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan and the University of California, Los Angeles, in the US have developed two-, three-terminal WO3-x-based nanoionic devices capable of a broad range of neuromorphic and electrical functions.
In its initial pristine condition the system has very high resistance values. Sweeping both negative and positive voltages across the system decreases this resistance nonlinearly, but it soon returns to its original state indicating a volatile state. Applying either positive or negative pulses at the top electrode introduces a soft-breakdown, after which sweeping both negative and positive voltages leads to non-volatile states that exhibit bipolar resistance and rectification for longer periods of time.
The researchers draw similarities between the device properties -- volatile and non-volatile states and the current fading process following positive voltage pulses -- with models for neural behaviour -- that is, short- and long-term memory and forgetting processes. They explain the behaviour as the result of oxygen ions migrating within the device in response to the voltage sweeps. Accumulation of the oxygen ions at the electrode leads to Schottky-like potential barriers and the resulting changes in resistance and rectifying characteristics. The stable bipolar switching behaviour at the Pt/WO3-x interface is attributed to the formation of the electric conductive filament and oxygen absorbability of the Pt electrode.
As the researchers conclude, "These capabilities open a new avenue for circuits, analog memories, and artificially fused digital neural networks using on-demand programming by input pulse polarity, magnitude, and repetition history."

After planning, applying and, for a while, despairing, the Routt County Communications department will receive a new computer dispatch system thanks to a federal grant of more than $1.5 million.
Officials had moved the program to the bottom of the priority list when the economy made the plan financially unfeasible. When the U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance granted the money a month later than expected, the project was revived and likely will be in place by next summer.
Steamboat Springs Information Systems Manager Mike Schmidt said the benefits to law enforcement officers are twofold.
Law enforcement agencies countywide will use the money to upgrade the equipment inside each car and at the Routt County Communications dispatch center, allowing officers to look up suspects and car information and enter reports from their vehicles, Schmidt said, adding that the upgrade will increase productivity.
Officers also will be able to get reports about people and cars they have pulled over, giving the officers background the suspects and helping them know when to call for backup, thereby improving safety, Schmidt said. The system also will allow officers to look at maps of crime in the area.
Schmidt worked with Terry Barber, the director of information systems for Routt County, and grant writer Winnie DelliQuadri to complete the grant in March and April. Schmidt said the project has been discussed for a long time, but when the economy crashed, it looked unlikely that the money would be available.
"One of the things that made us a good candidate for (the grant), and got it awarded, is that we had already been looking at replacing our system last year, but when the economy went south, we lost the money for it," he said. "We had pretty much resigned ourselves to shelving all the work we had done."
Routt County Communications Director JP Harris said he expected to hear back about the grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance by August.
"Because of the cost of the new system and the economy, we did put it on the back burner," he said. "We're excited to have received it."
The system will tie together all law enforcement agencies in the county, Harris said, and allow other agencies to access the system as needed.
The project also will create three jobs: a project manager, an information systems specialist and a data migration engineer.
Schmidt said the project manager will be contracted for 18 months and the data migration engineer will be contracted for six months. The information systems specialist will be contracted for a year, and then the position likely will become a salaried city job.
Routt County commissioners said the grant will be a boon to the city and county.
"It's just a great example, I think, of collaboration and partnership," Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush said.
"I think the big thing is we're getting money for something we planned on replacing ourselves," fellow commissioner Doug Monger said.
The city and county likely will begin accepting bids in March 2010 and start installing the project once a bid is accepted. Schmidt said there are several companies that create the software and hardware needed, and he expects five or six companies to bid for the work.

Barbara Harrison anchors News4 Midday for News4 at 11 a.m. each weekday. She also reports the weekly segment
which features children available for adoption.
After more than three decades as a journalist in the nation's capital she has covered everything from politics to performing arts and from crime to the plight of abused and abandoned children.
She is the creator of NBC4's award-winning "Wednesday's Child", which features foster children in need of permanent adoptive homes. It has been the model for similar programs in major cities across the nation. She also created and anchors the Emmy-Award winning program "Diplomatic Plates," a half hour broadcast with exclusive visits with ambassadors and their families inside their private residences here in Washington. She also produces and hosts an annual holiday special, "Christmas on Embassy Row."
Recognized for her exclusive interviews, Harrison has brought a smorgasbord of accomplished guests to the television screen. Her Black History Month specials have offered unique, up-close interviews with some of the world's most celebrated actors, performers, and athletes. She has also interviewed presidents and other politicians in Washington. In one of her special reports, "Fitness on the Fast Track," she presented the up-close, personal exercise routines of, among many others, a first lady, a governor, a mayor, and even the secretary of state of the United States.
Although she grew up on the campus of Prairie View A & M University, where her father was a professor of journalism, Harrison left Texas to attend Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. She went on to earn a Master's Degree at Columbia University in New York City. It was in that city that she began her career in television journalism as a writer-producer for WNET-TV New York.
A move to San Francisco also brought a move to the on-air side of the broadcast business. She became host of popular radio shows on the ABC-owned stations KSFX and KGO-Radio. She moved to television with a move back to Texas where she reported and anchored at KDFW-TV in Dallas. In 1980 she returned to San Francisco to anchor at KGO-TV. In the fall of 1981, she joined the staff at WRC/NBC4 in Washington.
In addition the many Emmy and countless other awards for reporting, the Washington Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences also honored her with The Ted Yeats Award for outstanding community service. She is also the recipient of the prestigious Tufty Award for outstanding journalism from the Washington area chapter of American Women in Radio and Television.

John Spike
John Thomas Spike (born November 8, 1951 in New York City) is an American art historian, curator, and author, specializing in the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods. He is also a prominent contemporary art critic and past director of the Florence Biennale. In 2007, Spike was appointed to the faculty of the Masters program in Sacred Art History jointly offered by the European University of Rome and the Pontifical Athenaeum, 'Regina Apostolorum'. In 2011, Spike became a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Childhood, youth, and personal life[edit]
Spike grew up in New York City and Tenafly, New Jersey where he was a friend and classmate of the actor Ed Harris at Tenafly High School. His father was the Rev. Robert W. Spike, a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s[1] and his brother is Paul Spike, an author and the first American to be named editor of the British satirical magazine Punch. After undergraduate studies at Wesleyan University, he earned his PhD from Harvard University in art history in 1979. His dissertation was the first complete study of Mattia Preti (1613-1699), an important painter of the Caravaggio school. Spike was later awarded honorary citizenship of Taverna, the Italian city that was Preti's birthplace, in recognition of his studies of Preti. In 2013, Spike was knighted by the Sovereign Military Order of St. John of Malta in the United Kingdom.
He permanently resides in Williamsburg, Virginia with his wife Michèle Kahn Spike, a lawyer and biographer of Matilda of Tuscany, and is the father of one son, Nicholas.
Career as art historian[edit]
In the course of his career, Spike has organized art exhibitions and read lectures at important museums around the world, including the Pinacoteca Nazionale, Bologna; the Galleria degli Uffizi and the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence; the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth; the Pierpont Morgan Library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Musée du Louvre, Paris; the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart; the National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. He has also read lectures at Harvard, Yale and Princeton Universities, and the University of Malta. He is permanent consultant to two Italian museums, the Museo Civico di Taverna and the Museo Civico di Urbania, as well as many years friend and consultant to the Cathedral Museum of Mdina and the National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta, Malta. In 2006 Spike was also appointed to the Board of the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia.
Among the books Spike has published on the Florentine Renaissance are Masaccio (Abbeville Press 1996),[2] and Fra Angelico (Abbeville Press, 1997), both also available in Italian and French editions. His Fra Angelico, which also appeared in a German edition by Hirmer Verlag, was named "Art Book of the Year 1997" by the Hearst newspapers in the USA. His catalogue raisonné of the paintings of Caravaggio (2001) was published in a second Revised Edition in 2010. His "Young Michelangelo: The Path to the Sistine: A Biography" was published in 2010 (Vendome Press; ISBN 0-86565-266-X).[3][4]
His contributions to culture and history have been recognized in Italy by the bestowal of the Premio Anthurium, 1998, the Annual Medal of the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Messina, 2001, the Premio Anassilaos, 2002 and Man of the Year by the Tuscan American Foundation, Florence, 2006. For 2011, he has been appointed Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Career as contemporary art critic[edit]
Spike has written essays for books and exhibition catalogues on many contemporary artists, both in New York City and in Italy. In addition to his Michelangelo biography, he is currently overseeing the production of the Catalogue Raisonné for Richard Anuszkiewicz, the leading American artist of the Op Art movement. Spike's most noteworthy contribution to contemporary art has been his involvement with the Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte Contemporanea, Florence, Italy- more commonly known in English as the Florence Biennale. He was a member of the Jury for the inaugural exhibition in December 1997, and thereafter served as director from 1998-2005. In 2005, Spike was also the sole juror of the Turku Biennial in Turku, Finland as well as a member of the jury for the Triennale of India in New Delhi.

Dying In Their War, And What Thanks Do We Get?
The Dutch Defence Ministry summoned the U.S. ambassador for an explanation of a Los Angeles Times article that said Gates complained about soldiers from Canada, Britain and the Netherlands not knowing how to fight a guerrilla insurgency.
'09 and out. If the Harperites want to argue the point, bring 'em down.

That's because the Allies are not shoving enough glowsticks up the insurgents' bums, like the sophisticated American military is doing over in Iraq.

I don't think Canada need lectures from a politician. Canada is succeeding in Afghanistan despite the Americans, not because of them. Had they stayed and finished the job they started, instead of getting sidetracked into invading an irrelevant country, Afghanistan might be independent by now.
- Dante said...
Two points.
1.I would hope we are there for reasons other than the Yanks. There are humanitarian considerations.
2.The USA is the worst insurgency fighter in the history of armed combat. A bit rich for them to judge. - 3:49 PM
- Ti-Guy said...
1.I would hope we are there for reasons other than the Yanks.
I used to want to believe that, but I just don't see much point anymore. Certainly, a reaction like that from Gates reveals a desperation that is out of proportion to any damage to strategic interests a humanitarian crisis could cause...there are such crises all over the World right now.
Sure there are humanitarian reasons to think being there is a good idea to be there, but good intentions don't explain reality.
They've got two Friedmans left. - 4:31 PM

amne bro . . fuck the UN and their multilateral missions at the behest of legally elected governments.
Never again, we should just opt right out the UN, it is so corrupt it cannot be reformed. - 5:04 PM
Arogant bloody Americans, bombing civilians like the cowards they are.
we have to get out now because Steffi has just announced he wants us to be part of the invasion of Pakistan.
- Raphael Alexander said...
Yes, I noticed the Dion commentary as well. It's interesting to hold two apparently contradictory ideas in one's head at once: mission in Afghanistan is wrong, but invasion of Pakistan is right. It's time for the Liberals to gain some consistency.
I love Stephane Dion, as the Quebec polls consistently show, the more he says and the more people get to know him, the less likely they are to vote for him.
It's no wonder that when he was out of the news in December the Liberal numbers went up. - 8:01 PM
- bigcitylib said...
The idea is that Afgh. is doomed to failure if you can't get some kind of handle on what's happening in Pak. If you can't, then there is no reason for Canadian troops involving themselves in a mission that is doomed to failure. Seeing both sides of that equation is like being able to walk and chew bubble-gum at the same time. Dion is capable of this, and so I think are the bulk of the Canadian people. Are you? - 8:06 PM
- Raphael Alexander said...
Dion is capable of this, and so I think are the bulk of the Canadian people. Are you?
If this is more than meaningless posturing, then Stephane Dion should partake in binding commitments to stay in Afghanistan under a renewed mandate. Otherwise it's just that: meaningless posturing. Dion talks the talk. Can he walk the walk? - 8:51 PM

Yeah...smoke on your pipe and put that in! - 10:09 PM

Mark Steyn NRO colleague and hate-spewing Republican harridan Lisa Schiffren is illiterate:

"Dying In Their War, And What Thanks Do We Get?"
It's not a war, it's an occupation, just as it was for years under the Liberals.
It was a Liberal government that sent us there and a Liberal government that signed us up for combat missions and a Liberal government who knew we would be transferring prisoners to and working in partnership with a third world country not known for human rights.
None of this sticks to Harper - none. He recently expressed exasperation on national TV at the length of the occupation, noting it is longer than WWII; this is not the rhetoric of a warmonger.
Support for the occupation has barely been over 50% among Conservative supporters for two years running now, so you can't say he's playing to his base, which is split on the issue. - 11:20 PM
- Ti-Guy said...

What a rube. Harper attached himself to this issue right at the beginning of his mandate, with his "Red Fridays" and shoveling money into the CF. He can't start moaning about now that it's become undeniable that it didn't work out for him.
You should listen to Conservatives themselves. They've certainly responded to Harper's dog-whistles in support of militarism. - 11:44 PM
Go see what's up with your comrade McClelland, TiGuy, either his site has been hacked or he's talking about hunting Jews and turning them into lampshades:
"You know, the more I think about it the more I think Jonah Goldberg is right. We liberals truly are fascists. So instead of wasting my time fighting the truth I think I'll just hunt down Jonah and turn him into a lampshade."
WTF? I took a screenshot. - 11:55 PM
- Ti-Guy said...
Pretty tasteless joke...not about hunting down Jonah Goldberg and turning him into something useful, though. I'd have suggested a doula, so he can make sure no other baby suffers the trauma he did when he emerged from his Episcopalian mother's thorny, gritty, barb-wired vagina.
Shop him off to the HRC, anony, forthwith. Make sure you show them teh screenshot. - 12:29 AM
- 900 ft Jesus said...
Anon 6:55 and RA: that's bull shit about Dion wanting to invade Afghanistan, as you say. That's dishonest, and out of context. G&M today -
"Mr. Dion made a comment to reporters about controlling the flood of terrorists from Pakistan into Afghanistan...Liberal defence critic Denis Coderre, who sat beside Mr. Dion when he made the remark, insisted yesterday the party was not advocating a military role for NATO in Pakistan - unlike U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama, who has mused about such an intervention.
The point of Mr. Dion's comment was to say that Canada wants NATO to work diplomatically with Pakistan to ensure Pakistan is part of the solution in the region, Mr. Coderre said.
"There's no way that we will send troops or stuff like that."
When people lie and twist things, it's usually because they have no argument - 8:48 AM
- bigcitylib said...
Unfortunately, 900ft, I think an invasion is pretty much what it would take.
- 900 ft Jesus said...
I hope not, BCL, but I bow to your greater knowledge in this
Again, you fricken' moron, troops are not in Af'stan because of the United States, but because of the United Nations. Period. Are you stupid or are you lying on purpose?
- Ti-Guy said...

anonymous idiot at 11:51 am:
Actually we are in Afghanistan because of Article 5 of the NATO treaty being invoked after the 9/11/01 attack on NY and Washington by AQ. We ended up in Afghanistan because the Taliban government of the day refused to hand over bin Laden despite his being sheltered in their country by the leader of their government as well as allowing him and his group to have training bases for future attacks. Now, you can argue about whether we are doing any good, whether we should have continued after the Americans up and ran away to invade Iraq for no good reason, but the original reason we are there is not because of the UN (although that did get added into the authorities involved down the road) but because we are a part of NATO and Article 5 was invoked. If you did not know even that much of the basic history then you are in no position to be commenting yourself, let alone trying to take someone else to task for not knowing whet they are talking about.
Granted the mission parameters we have agreed to have evolved since the original invasion and we have become a more combat active element (mind you, it beats being in Iraq, so if this was Chretien's way of keeping us out and getting the American's off our backs it was probably a smart move even given the casualties we have taken and the stressing of our military capabilities, although we really cannot sustain it much longer, which is one of the main reasons I support withdrawal of the combat mission next year) since then, but that is how we ended up there and why. - 11:58 AM

Before you go casting stones at conservative commenters, ensure you note that several lefty sites have led with the headline "Dion the Hawk" over this news story. - 6:13 PM

Sounds of Summer with Lisa Moore
Lisa Moore Guest Hosts Hammered!
Monday, August 11, 2014
The inevitable has begun: Central Park cicadas have started to buzz as the twilight fireflies flash their escape, and all in time for more glistening super moon summer evenings. Enjoy the sounds of the season and join Hammered!'s summer-guest-host Lisa Moore this week for sultry summer tracks.
We'll hear from members of the composer collective Sleeping Giant and listen to William Bolcom's New York Lights, new-to-Q2 works by Elena Kats-Chernin, the premiere recording of Howard Hersh's Concerto for Ten Instruments, Frederic Rzewski's timeless North American Ballads and Ingram Marshall's sensual Authentic Presence. Other classic selections include works by Louis Andriessen, Philip Glass, Fred Hersch, Missy Mazzoli, Kate Moore and Allen Shawn.
So, grab your flat white and muesli bar and embrace the swirls of musical nature by letting us bring you the abundant fecundity in new music for keyboards.
Hosted by:
Lisa MooreComments [1]
Have you ever noticed how much Kate Moore's piece "Velvet" sounds like Leo Ornstein's compositions for cello and piano? There is a good deal of similarity, even, one might say, aping of Ornstein's peculiar ability to place a lyrical cello line against percussive, dissonant piano writing. Just a thought from a great admirer of Ornstein's music.

Located below the dishwasher, the sensor immediately shuts off the electrical connection after detecting a leak saving you from the expensive aftermath of a water-related emergency.
Nozzle System Assures Clean Dishes Samsung's exclusive twister nozzle system gets every dish extra clean. A unique and dramatic upgrade from the traditional straight-line nozzle system, the twister's powerful rotating effect whips water onto and into more of each dish maximizing our dishwasher's cleaning performance. Just imagine Mother Nature summoning up the cleaning tornado inside the machine so that your dishes come out perfectly clean. Our engineers did.

The primary reason I'm writing this review is due to a recent problem started. We've had it 5 months when all of a sudden it would start for maybe 2-3 minutes then give a drain error. After a few attempts, it did eventually start but then would error out with a low water level error. Originally I started with the service dept where I purchased it and their repair tech said it was a faulty water level sensor. When it took an absurdly long time for them fix it, I complained directly to Samsung only to find out that they weren't an authorized repair center. (Scary) When the authorized tech came out, he agreed that the water level sensor was causing the issue....but not because it was malfunctioning. He said it was caused by using TOO MUCH soap. Over time this caused a slight residue to get into the sensor float that made it a little "sticky" sending the wrong information on the water levels. He poured water into the tub and drained it a coupletimes. Then, he selected a normal wash and after 3 of it's on/off cycles there was still soap in the water. At his recommendation, I've ran it a few more times sans soap, and it's completed each cycle and seems to be back to normal. His recommendation was to use 4 teaspoons of powdered detergent, and 2 teaspoons lemon shine into the detergent bin. And of course the rinsing aid/drying agent in it's bin. Other than the initial part with the unauthorized service thing (should've known better than to go to a discount warehouse) I've been pretty happy with the service overall, and extremely happy with the service personnel that was sent.

We had this dishwasher installed in March. Since then we have lost several glasses due to breaking in this dishwasher. This happens as we pull the top tray out or push it back in- it is not always a smooth motion as the wheels tend to get stuck or don't roll, so if a glass is not hooked on to one of the tines/or is too small to fit on one, it smashes against another and breaks! Never had any problem with breaking glasses or any of the other issues listed below with previous dishwashers at our old home--and one was an unheard of brand with one switch for ON/OFF! The other issues we have had is mold growing on the dishes in the dishwasher and a STRONG stinky odor when we open the door--like stinky cheese! Spots of the mold remain on the dishes and glasses after running the cycle-- pretty gross! We do rinse the dishes well before loading, but think this shouldn't be necessary--at that point we may as well hand wash them! We run the dishwasher every 5-7 days. We noticed there doesn't seem to be any vent in the front like other dishwashers have. Where does the steam go from this dishwasher as it is in the drying cycle? or while it is closed with damp dishes in it? We are guessing this may be the culprit-- moisture just stays in there... The reason for the low design score is the lack of adjustment on the top and bottom racks-- to be able to reduce the amount of plate space and create more room for bowls, lack of option to remove the wine glass holder, option to relocate the utensil baskets to the other side/in the front of the dishwasher, lack of smooth rolling wheels on both top and bottom racks, lack of something to prevent the bottom rack from falling in between the dishwasher and the door when rolling back in and full of dishes, lack of an option to remove (without breaking them off) the silly utensil holders on top of the baskets-- who actually would refer to the owners manual to put their utensils in exactly as they recommend in the manual? We have been putting utensils in in our own way and it seems to work fine, just wish we didn't have to do that as the covers get in the way. And another design flaw is the front bottom kick panel looks unfinished. Otherwise this dishwasher is VERY quiet and cleans well if mold has not already formed.

I hate this dishwasher!
By GAMommy

Comments about Samsung 24" DMT400 Stainless Steel Built In Dishwasher:
I purchased this dishwasher when my bosh (which I LOVED) quit. It looked great and we thought that since we were happy with our other Samsung products (TV's, microwaves, fridge, etc) that we would go with a brand we trusted. From the moment we installed it, I hated it. It was not nearly as quiet as my old dishwasher and it took what seemed like FOREVER to complete a cycle. Then I opened the washer and found that my dishes don't seem very clean. I have tried every brand of soap and rinse agent but still my dishes are not usually clean. The soap dispenser doesn't even open sometimes so I have to run another cycle on several loads. I end up washing half of my dishes by hand after they have gone through the washer. When this one quits, I will definitely go with another brand. I love my microwave and other Samsung products but the dishwasher is a lemon.

The best thing about our new Samsung dishwasher is that you can barely hear it running. Besides that, the dishes come out perfectly clean, dry, and streak free. With it's sleek look and LED lights, it looks awesome!

We like the quietness and style of the dishwasher with a large capacity. It did not dry the dishes as we had hoped. Checked water temperature was 140 degrees which was OK.Used the sanitize mode but did not help. Will try a different rinse. In use for one week.
I hate this dishwasher

We have had this dishwasher for 2 1/2 years and I have had a variety of problems with it the entire time we have had it. It replaced a much less expensive dishwasher that we used with no major issues for 12 years. Now, after less than three years, I would junk this one if I could afford to do so. The first we experienced was steam coming out from the base of the door. This mainly happens when I run a sanitary cycle. I run this cycle a lot, so I always have to remember to wipe the area after the cycle so our wood flooring doesn't get damaged. The second issue is that the nozzles get clogged all the time. I have to remove all three sets at least once per month to clean debris from the holes and I even rinse all dishes before loading. The third issue is that gunk accumulates at the front of the tub, right where the door opens and closes. I assume this doesn't get thoroughly washed during a cycle, with the door obstructing it, so it starts to smell unless you wipe or scrub it off frequently. It also doesn't clean as well as my old washer did. These are all annoying problems, but the very worst problem is that twice in the past 2+ years of owning it, I have had to unscrew all 15 or so screws to remove the bottom screen and clean the reservoir under it because a pinkish bacterial growth accumulates and makes the whole washer smells absolutely disgusting...so bad that the dishes actually smell bad after a cycle. I would never recommend this to somebody that I liked and I would likely never consider a Samsung dishwasher again. I wish I had returned it after I discovered the condensation issue after a few uses instead of just deciding to live with that issue. It is a beautiful and quiet machine, but the way it cleans and it's terrible inside design resulting in the smell and extra maintenance, it's really not acceptable, particularly since this was not an inexpensive dishwasher.
Great Dishwasher!

I have used this dishwasher for a couple of months and it is so quiet I don't even realize it's running. Dishes are always very clean.
Fails on all accounts.
By Murphy15
from Dallas, TX
Despite some good reviews (and looking past some poor reviews) before purchase, we are horribly disappointed with our Samsung dishwasher. In short: it does not clean well at all (even rinsed dishes), it does not dry well (even using rinse aid and sanitize option), it has a horrible musty/stagnant odor (even just 24 hours after running a cleaning cycle). It is very quiet, but for the basic qualities you want, it fails. Very disappointed. We returned it for a different make/model that has been amazing.
Don't buy

If I could fine the receipt I would return it! It doesn't clean the upper rack properly. It also smells and accumulates mold on the base by the door. It is very quiet, but who care if it doesn't clean the dishes. Very disappointed as I typically love everything Samsung makes.

that says a lot when it comes to appliances. there is a significant design flaw with the roll out bottom rack -- the wheels & track are too small and it always seems to fall off into the bottom of the dishwasher, especially when it is full and the kids (ME!) don't push it in exactly in the middle. Seems to clean just fine.

This suite consists of
Facilities for following procedures available in the voice lab :
Diagnosistic procedures
- Hopkins's diagnostic Laryngoscopy and Video Laryngoscopy - Laryngeal video-endoscopy provides information about vocal fold structure and gross function and anomalies if any. It is used to diagnose and document voice and laryngeal disorders, plan treatment, make longitudinal comparisons, educate patients, and provide biofeedback for voice and breathing therapy. It is very useful to record the video and still images in the documentation for routine follow-up.
Video Stroboscopy - Video-stroboscopy is a state-of-the-art technique that provides a magnified, slow motion view of the vocal cord vibration. Minute vocal fold lesions which are hitherto not appreciable by normal mirror/ videolaryngoscopic examination are easily diagnosed, enabling the laryngologist to plan treatment accordingly.
Therapeutic Procedures-
Video assisted injection laryngoplasty - Injection medialization laryngoplasty is a procedure by which a bio-compatible filler material is injected into a vocal fold that lacks either the bulk (such as in vocal fold bowing) or the mobility (such as in vocal fold palsy).
Video assisted laryngeal Botox injection - In Spasmodic dysphonia Inj Botox Type A can be injected into the vocal folds accurately under video-laryngoscopic control.
Office based Phono-surgical procedures - Small nodule or polyp of Vocal folds can be excised under local anesthesia under video laryngoscopic control as an outpatient procedure.

2009 Donruss Elite Extra Edition 2 case HIT DRAFT
Looking to bridge the gap between now and my upcoming Crown Royale basketball break. We're gonna do 2 cases of 2009 Donruss Elite Extra Edition baseball in a hit draft conducted afterwards. Just like the title states. There are 140 hits in every 20 box master case x 2 =280 total hits. We will have base/insert slots for 5 box increments available to be drafted along with the hits. Each case is $1739 x 2 = $3478.
Breakdown: 280 Hits + 8 base slots = 288 slots $16 per slot, and $14.50 for each additional slot. Configuration: 20 boxes per case. 20 packs per box. 5 cards per pack. ** UPDATE ** In each 20-box case, 16 of the boxes should yield six autographs The other four are "hot boxes" and should yield 10 autographs and one mem card for a total of 11 hits ************ ** UPDATE ** Pujols hand-signed 20 copies of his Elite Series card, and reportedly was amused at seeing the nearly 12-year-old image of himself decked out in his Fort Osage Indians jersey. Highlights of the 150-card base set include: - Cards of the first 18 players in the Autographed Rookies subset (card #'s 51-68) were sent out for on-card autographs - a first for EEE. Their parallel cards will be sticker autographs. "The intent was to make those players' on-card Autographed Rookies as valuable as possible," Payne said. "To do that, and keep enough autographs in the program, we opted to use stickers for the Turn of the Century parallels and for any inserts they may appear on." - The first certified autographs of Aroldis Chapman - The 22-year-old lefthander and Cuban defector had not signed with a major league club at the time of the printing of EEE, so he is pictured in his Holguin uniform whom he played for in the Cuban National Series last year. - Some 42 first-round or supplemental first-round picks have autographs in the set Other highlights of the product: - Pete Rose autographs and memorabilia cards - Elite Series autographs, Back to the Future Signatures and Private Signings - autographed sweet spot baseball swatch material - make their debuts - Throwback Threads - with, among others, an LSU Jared Mitchell jersey, a Brownwood (Texas) HS Shelby Miller jersey, a Mike Minor Braves jersey worn during the 2009 Arizona Fall League, an Arizona State Jason Kipnis jersey and a Millville (N.J.) HS jersey worn by Mike Trout - Yes, there will be Hot Boxes ************ This product is Officially Licensed by The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC).

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Detectives have arrested a 73-year-old Oregon man for the decades-old murder of a man in northern Arizona.
The Coconino County Sheriff's Office said Saturday that Robert Rodriquez Resendez will be extradited in Medford, Ore.
Resendez is accused of robbing and fatally shooting 51-year-old Jerry Arnold Heath in 1981 outside of Flagstaff.
Authorities say the vehicle Heath was driving from Texas to his home in Lompoc, Calif., was found abandoned along Interstate 10 in Yuma County on Aug. 26, 1981.
Investigators say Heath's remains were discovered in some brush off Interstate 40 a month later. They say he appeared to die from a gunshot wound to the head.
Detectives say a resubmitting of fingerprints collected from the vehicle turned up a match to Resendez.
Authorities arrested Resendez on Thursday.

"The United States is now the only developed country to take such a restrictive view of patent eligibility, signaling an unjustified indifference towards our global economic and scientific leadership in the life sciences," BIO said.
Commenting on the judgement, Life Sciences Industry Analyst Justin Collishaw has said, "The decision to prohibit patent protection of human genes was accompanied by a decision to allow patent protection of synthetic versions of gene material. This is the positive news for companies developing diagnostic tests or gene therapies. In summary, multiple companies can develop gene therapies or diagnostic tests for identical sets of genes; however, a unique diagnostic test for a gene or a unique therapy used to alter or supplement particular genes is considered "synthetic gene material," lending to patent protection."

Reviews for Onion-Bacon Baby Carrots
"Made this last night. It tasted ok, and I would eat it again, but certainly not something I would go out of my way to make, again. The maple syrup flavor was very mild, and the bacon and the green onions and French fried onions did not really contribute to the flavor at all. For the amount of time invested, I was not impressed with the overall result."
"Love Love Love this and so does everyone I have ever made it for, HUGE hit! Making it for Thanksgiving as I do every year :-)"
"My husband loved this. I think next time I will add a little more maple syrup, didn't really get any maple flavor."
"This is absolutely delicious! I get asked for this recipe all the time, and my niece always asks me to bring it to family dinners."
"very good and different."

A traditional Irish music competition serves to ignite new passions, freshen old resentments and stir up the rivalry between two long-feuding brothers in "The Boys From County Clare." Theatrical prospects appear mild at best, although older audiences may respond to the comedy-drama's sweet sentiments and musical accent.
A traditional Irish music competition serves to ignite new passions, freshen old resentments and stir up the rivalry between two long-feuding brothers in "The Boys From County Clare." Given a lift by its folksy soundtrack of toe-tapping Ceili dance tunes, the film is handsomely produced and engaging enough, but never more than that due to a weak dramatic arc and soft conflicts in Nicholas Adams' script and to John Irvin's functional direction. Theatrical prospects appear mild at best, although older audiences may respond to the comedy-drama's sweet sentiments and musical accent.
Set in the late '60s, the story starts in Liverpool, where successful businessman Jimmy (Colm Meaney) prepares to return to his native Ireland for the first time in more than 20 years, taking his Ceili band to participate in an annual music competition. Back in County Clare, Jimmy's estranged older brother John Joe (Bernard Hill) also readies his band for the contest. Tension between Jimmy and John Joe is heightened by their past relationships to Maisie (Charlotte Bradley), who plays piano in the latter's band. While John Joe was in love with her, Jimmy seduced Maisie years earlier and then vanished to Liverpool, leaving her to raise her daughter Anne (Andrea Corr) alone. Maisie's bitterness and distrust of men causes her to keep Anne on a tight leash. But the independent-minded girl — a talented fiddle player in John Joe's band — breaks away when she falls for Jimmy's star flute player Teddy (Shaun Evans). While it's set up as the dramatic heart of the film, the music competition final comes and goes with a relatively low buildup. Rather than resolving the characters' conflicts to coincide with the event, the script deals with them both during and after the contest, often evaporating without much dramatic muscle. The harmony of the final outcome is touching, however, and reasonably satisfying, despite the shortage of emotional sparks. Meaney plays an irascible, foul-mouthed Irishman like several he's played before, but does so with energy and humor, working well against Hill's soft-edged crustiness and quiet air of melancholy, especially as fraternal feelings return between them. In her first leading film role, Corr — of Irish pop group the Corrs — acquits herself with self assurance. Similarly appealing fellow newcomer Evans shows sensitivity and warmth. Cinematographer Thomas Burstyn's subdued colors and polished widescreen lensing, and Tom McCullagh's unemphatic period production design give the film a classy look. Unspoiled locations on the Isle of Man and in Northern Ireland stood in for the West.The Boys From County Clare
