WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Terrorists killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya, but an ongoing investigation into the attack will have to determine which group was involved and whether it had links to al Qaeda, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Thursday.
The assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi September 11 that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens "was a terrorist attack," Panetta told a news conference at the Pentagon.
"A group of terrorists obviously conducted that attack on the consulate and against our individuals. What terrorists were involved, I think, still remains to be determined by the investigation," he added.
Panetta's remarks came a day after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seemed to link the Benghazi attack to militants with ties to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
Stevens died of smoke inhalation when he was trapped alone inside the burning consulate in Benghazi after it was attacked by militants. Another diplomat, Sean Smith, and two U.S. security men were also killed.
Libyan Prime Minister-elect Mustafa Abushagur told a news conference in Tripoli on Thursday that the "investigation is under way, it is progressing," but added there was no "complete definite investigation to say who did this yet."
He said the Libyan and U.S. governments were closely cooperating on the investigation.
There was initial confusion about whether the attack had been planned in advance or was opportunistic, taking advantage of mob violence over an anti-Islam film made in the United States.
Panetta and Army General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Pentagon news conference it took time before officials determined that extremists were behind the attack.
"As we determined the details of what took place there, and how that attack took place, ... it became clear that there were terrorists who had planned that attack," Panetta said. "That's when I came to that conclusion."
Dempsey said he wasn't aware of any specific threat to the consulate before the attack.
He said intelligence reporting from eastern Libya indicated some militant groups were trying to work together, but "there wasn't anything specific and certainly not a specific threat to the consulate."

Denver Interior Department Office Unveils Rebel Image
Call it "improper 'drilling' (ahem) ," a joke Scientific American's blog could not resist. Yes, the stuffy old feds who oversee the oil-and-gas industry now seem quite sexy and naughty. And the Interior Department's strait-laced inspector general isn't at all amused after discovering that workers in the until-now-relatively-obscure U.S. Minerals Management Service rigged oil contracts, acted as consultants to the industry they were supposedly regulating, accepted gifts, had sex and did drugs with each other and/or oil-n-gas reps. As The Washington Post notes, the service was "amok," particularly in its Lakewood office. "A culture of ethical failure" persisted, according to this memo--a critical problem since the agency collects roughly $11 billion a year in oil-and-gas royalties on behalf of taxpayers. Democrats jumped on the findings, according to The Denver Post, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who quickly unveiled new energy legislation while pointing the finger at the Bush administration. "Little did we know how cozy the relationship between Big Oil and the administration's regulators have been," Pelosi said.
Welcome Back, Candidates
Barack Obama, who, you may recall, was just here for the Democratic National Convention, is reportedly returning to Colorado on Monday. And details are still sketchy, but there's also talk of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin swinging through Colorado around the same time, according to the Rocky Mountain News, which notes that campaigns for Obama and John McCain have a "heavy rotation of television advertising and a series of office openings throughout the state." Moreover, there's drama. Obama has been ravaged for saying McCain's promises of change are akin to putting "lipstick on a pig"--an expression, by the way, that both Dems and Republicans utter more than you'd think. The McCain camp seized on it, making Obama out to be a sexist pig in light of Palin's memorable description of herself as a pit bull with lipstick. The "mis-step" was a definite "stumble" from the view of Britain's TimesOnline, which writes that Dems have yet to "grapple seriously with the Palin phenomenon, which is simultaneously shoring up the Republican base and eroding" Obama's.
That Was Swift: Muslim Meat Factory Workers Canned
The Muslim Somali immigrants at the JBS Swift & Company slaughterhouse in Greeley have learned a lesson about America and freedom of speech: You may fight for what you think is right, but you won't always win. More than 100 workers lost their jobs after failing to report to work in a dispute that began when the company refused to allow adequate prayer breaks for Ramadan, according to theGreeley Tribune, which also reports that about 120 workers returned to their jobs. "Employees were told failure to report to work when recalled would result in their immediate termination," notes a statement from Swift (via The Denver Post), leaving workers to seek legal and political help. It's unclear whether the conflict will hurt some good business news for Greeley. The city is ranked number 20 on an economic think tank's list of cities that are most successful at creating and sustaining jobs, according to the Denver Business Journal, better than Denver-Aurora, Loveland-Fort Collins, Boulder, and Colorado Springs.
Oh Goody, A Giant Blue and Yellow IKEA
With all the fuss surrounding plans to build a stylish IKEA home furnishings store south of Denver, in Centennial, you'd think ABBA was planning a reunion for the opening. The community is excited, and droves of people will travel hundreds of miles to get there, as 9News reports. Right now, there are "only" 35 IKEA stores in the United States, and the nearest ones to Denver are in Draper, Utah, which is 545 miles away, and Tempe, Arizona, which is 765 miles away. The store means millions in sales tax revenues for Centennial and "cute, modern, great" stuff that's affordable for customers like Jennifer Herrera, who is quoted by The Denver Post. If the pattern at IKEAs elsewhere "holds true, then hotels and restaurants will also build nearby to accommodate the influx of customers" driving in from around the region, according to MileHive.com. So that's why a 1,700-space parking lot is planned for the 400,000-square-foot, two-level store. No details are available on an opening date, as IKEA goes through the usual government approval process.
Taste Test: Rocky Mountain News Twitters a Funeral
Newspaper websites these days are electronic wonderlands rife with video, photo essays, links to original documents, and more--all meant to tell stories in creative ways. But the Rocky Mountain News' use of Twitter, a social-networking service that allows users to send brief updates to their "followers" via email or text message, to cover the funeral of three-year-old Marten Kudlis, is just wrong, as ColoradoIndependent.com points out. And as Westword's media columnist Michael Roberts opines, "Clear your desk of any sharp objects, because when you read the entries by reporter Berny Morson below, there's a good chance your jaw will drop onto it--hard." The sidebar to this story followed Morson's step-by-step account of the funeral service in excruciating instant message-ese: "coffin lowered into ground ... rabbi chanting final prayer in hebrew ... rabbi calls end to ceremony ... family members shovel earth into grave." Wake-up call to editors: While technology may add context to stories, it can sometimes rob emotion and make a newspaper seem indifferent to suffering.
Seventh Anniversary of 9/11
Seven years after 19 terrorists hijacked four jetliners, killing some 3,000 people, many will not ever forget what happened. "For most of us, those ripples are slight: quart-size plastic bags and annoying airport delays. For others, the aftershocks are huge: empty chairs at the dinner table, loved ones who have put on military uniforms and left home," writes The Denver Post. Cathy Faughnan, of Lafayette, will remember the loss of her husband on September 11 in New York City, a "pretty day" when he went off to work after a simple kiss and goodbye, by doing "something he would like to do--like get out his bike and maybe ride it down to Boulder, which he loved," writes the Rocky Mountain News. On the East Coast, there was a pause this morning to mark the anniversary of the attacks with a "heartfelt ceremony" at ground zero, according to the Associated Press.
Iverson's Philly House a Seeming Bargain
Pity basketball All-Star Allen Iverson of the Denver Nuggets as he tries to sell the home he owns outside Philadelphia, where he once played for the 76ers. Okay, that's enough. Iverson and his wife are trying to sell the house they bought for $5 million in 2003 and put on the market in 2006, when Iverson came to the Nugs. The six-bedroom, 14,000-square-foot home in Villanova has arched Palladian windows, a movie theater, guest suite, poolhouse, and a stream on four, sprawling acres, according to a Wall Street Journal story in The Denver Post. And it is now going at a bargain--$4 million--due to the sluggish housing market.
Cutler's Taunter Is Foggy, But He Remembers
Remember that guy who taunted Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler from the sidelines? Let's see, who was that again? Oh, yeah. Phillip Rivers, the Chargers' trash-talking quarterback who has recovered from reconstructive knee surgery and, incidentally, is coming to Denver this Sunday for the Broncos' home opener. "I can only imagine the reception I'll get," Rivers says of Sunday afternoon's AFC West game, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "I imagine it will be pleasant." The boos are almost audible now. Both quarterbacks are downplaying the incident, although to others, the Rocky notes, there's the possibility of a good rivalry for years to come.
Videodose: Glen Fritzler, owner of Fritzler Farm in LaSalle, takes a helicopter ride to show off the 2008 Fritzler Corn Maize--a tribute to his parents, Ed and Eileen Fritzler--in this Rocky Mountain News video.

Picture: C+ Sound: B Extras: B Music Videos: B+
You hear all the time how great certain female singer songwriters are lately, but without naming names, it is unfortunately as much hype as substance. One of the most underrated such women in all of music is Suzanne Vega, an exceptional talent who manages that rare feat of combining socially conscious and important topics with stunning lyrics and exceptional music composition. Her career has been long ignored, but that has not stopped the support of her fans and other lovers of music, or her occasional hit that really breaks through. Retrospective – The Videos Of Suzanne Vega is an outstanding collection of her music and the Music Videos produced over the years at her home label of A&M Records by a variety of interesting and often still-unknown directors who need to be hired much more often then they are.
Add the fact that she is an exceptional vocalist and this is one of the best artist-based collections of its kind to date. The videos are as follows, all 1.33 x 1:
1) Marlene On The Wall (Directed by Leslie Liebman) – From her self-named 1985 debut album, this nicely stylized stage performance of this song adds projected images and very classy-if-sparse production design about if a woman is an object, a clever observer or both.
2) Left Of Center (Directed by Ken Ross & Richard Levine) – From the soundtrack to the 1986 hit Pretty In Pink, and at least as good as Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark's If You Leave, fans of the film will recognize the not necessarily political song. It is about an opposition more profound than political. A stage performance with New Wave-look trappings.
3) Luka (Directed by Candice Reckinger & Michael Patterson) – From the Solitude Standing album, this is a brilliantly-crafted masterpiece classic about a victim of physical, verbal and psychological abuse, domestic violence that is absolutely domestic terrorism. The mix of blue monochrome images, whether animated or filmed, is amazing. The song has a gender ambiguous title character, expressing the pain and denial in tolerating such a nightmare. The video actually enhances the wide-ranging impact of the already stunning song. Still her biggest hit and remarkably so.
4) Solitude Standing (Directed by Jonathan Demme) – The title song to the album of the same name from the director of The Silence Of The Lambs three years prior involves another title character, this time one who is more able-bodied and clever. Occasionally conjuring his work on Stop Making Sense, it is a live stage performance with a difference.
5) Book Of Dreams (Directed by Andrew Doucette & Geoff Kern) – Using more visual effects than most of the clips here, the ideas of weightlessness and the absurd are taken into new directions. The ideas of the body, text and even games and telepathy are visual themes throughout that make for a different clip we can all appreciate. This is the first of three from her Days Of Open Hand album.
6) Men In A War (Directed by Paula Grief) – Yes, this is an anti-war song, but not the kind you would expect. This is also another stage performance with instrument playing, yet its ideas go far beyond military conflict and it is NOT men-bashing by a longshot. Very interesting.
7) Tired Of Sleeping (Directed by Tarsem Singh) – The director of the great feature film The Cell and R.E.M.'s Music Video classic Losing My Religion, this sepia-toned clip offers canted angles and images dealing with life and death. Note how people in his work are often physically composed to the far sides of the frame. The death images are ironic when you think of the song's title.
8) Tom's Diner (with DNA; Directed by Gareth Roberts) – Borrowing images from the Men In A War clip of Vega, Roberts created one of the best quickly edited videos ever made and the result is that this a capella track from her first album set to a dance beat became a monster international hit. As for the video, it has cleverly abstract images juxtaposed to the lyrics and only the Under Pressure clip for the Queen/David Bowie hit in which none of them appear comes to mind in its success.
9) Blood Makes Noise (Directed by Nico Beyer) – The first of four singles from the 99.9F album (1992) is a bold masterwork about AIDS at a time when the stigma and fear were still sky-high. Vega plays the victim who knows contact with her doctor is futile and failed. The song's sound was so new at the time, critics were dubbing it "industrial folk" and like AIDS, the sound is more familiar now. As for the visuals, Beyer's brilliant mix of silhouetted images of bodies, gears, machinery and Vega recalls Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1926, reviewed elsewhere eon this site) including interesting edits, zooms and negative footage. A true triumph of style and substance coming together.
10) In Liverpool (Directed by Howard Greenhaigh) – Orange and green monochrome footage is cut with some color and anamorphically squeezed footage for the tale of a mediation about human encounters and the emotional connections thereof. The clip adds religious scenery that works, reminding one of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame and maybe a few supernatural thrillers.
11) 99.9F [Degrees] (Directed by Nico Beyer) – Beyer's other remarkable Video uses more color footage and adds mirror images, a sheet of ice and an almost 1960s twirl slowly spinning as Vega sings about the deep effects of AIDS and prejudice. Another bold song with remarkable visual accompaniment.
12) When Heroes Go Down (Directed by Peter Care) – The other director famous for his work with R.E.M. gives a live performance that mixes video picture tube images with other images of technology as the song deals with the good dying young or ending their good work before the world needs them to.
13) Caramel (Directed by Charles Whittenmeier) – Another terrific song, with a mix of vivid color and caramel-monochrome footage. The first of two songs and clips from the Nine Objects Of Desire (1996) album, her character also sees some of the great lovers of the cinema screen at a surreal drive-in theater, something we can really appreciate at this site. As for the song, it is about love, lust and connection in the classiest way. An alternate version of this clip in the extras has her on the TV and drive-in screen, which is pleasant, but not quite as interesting as this final version.
14) No Cheap Thrill (Directed by David Cameron) – A live performance is mixed with narrative in a song about love as gambling exchange and the potential banality of both. The quasi-Gangster in retro-style narrative is exceptionally shot, with fine costume and production design.
15) Book & A Cover (Directed by Geoff Moore) – From her U.K. Tried & True hits set, this monochrome clip uses upside down shots often, but in ways no one had used in Music Video yet. Shot in New York, it does feature The World Trade Center Towers and they look great! The song has clever fun with the old saying the title suggests.
16) Last Year's Troubles (Directed by Tim Vega) – A really live performance by Vega's late brother is the simplest and in some ways most personal of all the clips here, which is why it is such an appropriate ending to the set. From the 2003 album Songs In Red & Gray.
That is as good an output as any solo artist we can think of, up there with Madonna, Tina Turner, Janet Jackson, Pat Benatar, Bjork, Cyndi Lauper, Sade, Gwen Stefani (in and out of No Doubt) and Annie Lennox (in and out of Eurythmics). Like those great women, the camera just loves Vega, particularly her face, which is remarkably beautiful, knowing and expressive. Her combination of talent, substance and presence is becoming increasingly rare in the music business and when all was done, I felt it was only the end of the first act in her career. We can't wait for more!
The 1.33 X 1 image varies in quality throughout, with some of the older clips showing their age, but color reproduction is consistent on all of them and there is minor noise or grain at the worst. The sound is even more impressive. There is a nice PCM 16Bit/44.1kHz 2.0 Stereo track that can go a few rounds with any of her CDs, a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix that is about as good, but then there is the amazing DTS 5.1 mix that is just stunning. None of her albums were issued in either of the multi-channel ultra-high-definition formats DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD, so this mix is especially revealing of how extremely well engineered, recorded and produced the music has always been. The great Mitchell Froom (Split Enz, Crowded House) handled just about all the latter half of the songs and was a great artistic match with Vega, which became very personal. Until a DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD version of this album comes out, this might be the best sonic representation of her music to date.
Extras include promos for her last three studio albums, the alternate Caramel clip, a personal playlist that allows you to play the videos in any order you'd like, discography, a rarities section that shows a collage of memorabilia and audio commentary by Vega on all her videos. She is great here, shares all kinds of personal, artistic & professional items and is sometimes hilarious like no one since Pat Benatar did her commentaries with her husband Neil Gerardo on her great Choice Cuts DVD collection. All around, Retrospective – The Videos Of Suzanne Vega is an exceptional collection that audiophiles, Music Video fans, home theater fans and lovers of great music should consider a must-have DVD.

Bears re-sign RB Bell as reinforcement for injured Forte after working out Slaton
Bears running back Matt Forte could end up missing a month or more because of an ankle injury suffered during Thursday's loss to the Green Bay Packers. As insurance, Chicago re-signed running back Kahlil Bell, according to a league source.
Bell was with the Bears in camp and was cut -- because, at least in part, of what was a high salary at the time. The club also worked out Steve Slaton, the former Texans and Dolphins back.
With Forte out, Michael Bush becomes the primary ball carrier.

Reviews of the first edition: ??i??...This book is a welcome addition to the sociology of technology, a field whose importance is increasingly recognised??i??i??' - ??i??Sociology??i??. ??i??...sets a remarkably high standard in breadth of coverage, in scholarship, and in readability and can be recommended to the general reader and to the specialist alike??i??i??' - ??i??Science and Society??i??. ??i??...This remarkably readable and well-edited anthology focuses, in a wide variety of concrete examples, not on the impacts of technologies on societies but in the reverse: how different social contexts shaped the emergence of particular technologies??i??i??' - ??i??Technology and Culture??i??. How does social context affect the development of technology? What is the relationship between technology and gender Is production technology shaped by efficiency or by social control? Technological change is often seen as something that follows its own logic - something we may welcome, or about which we may protest, but which we are unable to alter fundamentally. This reader challenges that assumption and its distinguished contributors demonstrate that technology is affected at a fundamental level by the social context in which it develops. General arguments are introduced about the relation of technology to society and different types of technology are examined: the technology of production; domestic and reproductive technology; and, military technology. The book draws on authors from Karl Marx to Cynthia Cockburn to show that production technology is shaped by social relations in the workplace. It moves on to the technologies of the household and biological reproduction, which are topics that male-dominated social science has tended to ignore or trivialise - though these are actually of crucial significance where powerful shaping factors are at work, normally unnoticed. The final section asks what shapes the most frightening technology of all - the technology of weaponry, especially nuclear weapons. The editors argue that social scientists have devoted disproportionate attention to the effects of technology on society, and tended to ignore the more fundamental question of what shapes technology in the first place. They have drawn both on established work in the history and sociology of technology and on newer feminist perspectives to show just how important and fruitful it is to try to answer that deeper question. The first edition of this reader, published in 1985, had a considerable influence on thinking about the relationship between technology and society. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to take into account new research and the emergence of new theoretical perspectives.
"Delanty has written a fluent and succinct overview of social theory, including informed commentary and critique...The book presents some very good potted accounts of the various theoretical positions in the social sciences and sets out issues that are not yet resolved.

Ghirardelli Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree
October 1st, 2012 by Rosa
This Sea Salt Soiree bar is a new addition to Ghirardelli's Intense Dark line. At least, I believed the corner label that said it was new – that's what prompted me to buy it in the first place!
Turns out it's been out for at least a year. It's like those "Grand Opening" or "Closeout Sale" banners that hang in front of stores for years.
The outer box described it as, " dark chocolate with sea salt and roasted almonds". There's also a milk chocolate counterpart in their Gourmet Milk line called Sea Salt Escape that I saw at Sweets and Snacks.
Inside, the bar was lightly scored into 8 logo-ed squares. The break along the scores was a nice, sharp snap.
Little bits of almonds were liberally mixed in and added a nice crunch factor. They also brought some astringency to the finish and not nearly enough roasted nutty flavor to the chocolate.
The flakes of sea salt brought occasional flashes of flavor that really picked up and brightened the flavor of the dark chocolate. The dark chocolate was lightly sweet, but alas, I felt that its flavor profile was lost in the astringency of the almonds.
I thought the bar was okay, but I wanted more almond nuttiness and more chocolate flavor. An O.

Asthma and Vocal Cord Problems
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
Vocal cord dysfunction is the uncontrolled closing of the vocal cords when you breathe in. The symptoms can seem to be the same as those of asthma and may occur alone or along with asthma. If you have asthma and vocal cord dysfunction, it may be difficult for you to tell the difference between symptoms of the two conditions.
Sometimes vocal cord dysfunction happens quickly and may require a trip to the emergency room. The condition occurs in both men and women but may be more common in women who are high achievers.
Vocal cord dysfunction is often caused by postnasal drainage or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and improves with treatment of these conditions.
The following factors may help your health professional evaluate vocal cord dysfunction, especially in people who do not have asthma. The person:
- Usually is young and female.
- Has an abrupt attack but recovers quickly.
- May be able to speak during an attack, but often has a hoarse voice.
- May improve when he or she pants or sings.
- Has more problem breathing in than out.
- May have a dry cough.
- Usually has normal results on lung function tests, such as spirometry.
- May not respond to standard asthma treatment.
The attacks usually do not occur at night. Also, the harsh, high-pitched sound of air coming into a tight airway (stridor) may be heard at the throat.
Some forms of vocal cord dysfunction occur in people who do not have asthma and/or GERD. In these people, vocal cord dysfunction may be associated with anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and a history of being sexually abused.
This condition may be treated with psychotherapy and speech therapy.

Bose 151 Speakers... Opinions
I am looking to mount some speakers in the cockpit of my boat...again. Last May I installed some Pyle speakers and they are completely rusted and sound terrible if they make any sound at all.
I was walking through BJs wholesale club today and they had the older style Bose 151 environmental speakers which state they are good for boats. Does anyone have any experience with them? |
Re: Bose 151 Speakers... Opinions
The Bose site indicates that they suitable for boats. I prefer built-in recessed speakers that won't get in the way. I can see "kicking" those at inopportune times.
Re: Bose 151 Speakers... Opinions
I've had the 151's mounted on the aft pulpit for 13 years, speaker faces in, just flush with the SS tubing. Had the same concern of something sticking out into the cockpit. The grills have needed to be painted a few times. Still sound good after all these years.
Re: Bose 151 Speakers... Opinions
I have two pairs of them. One pair is dead.. These speakers are not sealed and the boxes are "ported". As such corrosion can get on the voice coil and corrode it. Older models used treated paper cones and the newer ones use plastic cones. As long as you're a "tin ear" you'll like them. If you want any sort of good sound quality there are better offerings.. They are quite efficient and easy to drive with a car stereo... For the price they are not a bad deal but outside they sound quite thin... We had a pair in the cabin and I ripped them out and replaced them last summer, for better sound quality..
Re: Bose 151 Speakers... Opinions
A little off topic. I like music and I like good sound. I was about to rig a wired sound system into my boat and paused and decided to take a reluctant step into the 21st century. I got a boom box type thing from Creative (not the old style boom box - no radio, just speakers) that has blue tooth. Mine runs on 4 double A batteries and can also plug in to boat elec. In the cabin, it sits on a shelf and sounds great. I can bring it out to the cockpit, or cabin top (lashed, if necessary). The blue tooth allows me, or any visitor, to connect wirelessly from anywhere on the boat, play off stored songs or off Pandora through cell phone. You can control it, obviously, from wherever you have your cell phone or other mp3 player. Can be taken to the beach, etc. It has worked out real well. A lot of flexibility. I know there is sacrifice in sound quality using mp3 to blue tooth, but I think when outdoors, the speakers are more important than the source.
Re: Bose 151 Speakers... Opinions
One word SPOTIFY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you like music there is simply nothing better.it is basically iTunes with unlimited music at your finger tips to play when you want, how often you want and when you want. You can create playlists or even see your friends playlists and play them.. Yes it costs a little money but is sooooooooooo worth it.. Listening to a guys bluegrass playlist right now that has not had a bad song in over an hour.... I could NEVER afford to have the MILLIONS of CD's or downloads available on Spotify, never... It is exactly the music re-play system I would have designed, had I been that smart...:D |

Mainesail, I'll try it. The future's so bright . . .
Re: Bose 151 Speakers... Opinions
Re: Bose 151 Speakers... Opinions
I used to have the Bose 151 inside my previous boat. Not horrible but very pricey. On this boat I used some Poly Planar speakers in the cockpit that sounded awful.
I have since purchased a set of Pyle outdoor speakers for $18 that sound decent. They are small enough to be mounted near the bottom of my binacle guard facing diagonally aft. No interference with the compass and I will be happy if they last more than a year. http://www.amazon.com/PLMR24-3-5-Inch-Weather-Speaker-System/dp/B001CXXDBM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1358357605&sr=1-1&keywords=PLMR24 |
Re: Bose 151 Speakers... Opinions
I installed Poly Planar platinum series flush mount, magnetically shielded speakers in my cockpit 14 years ago and they still sound wonderful. They were about $189/pair at the time (1998). I would buy them again.

Being a reality TV star is hard. One minute you've got cameras following your every move, and the next, you're left to your own devices with only your boring baby to entertain you. Thankfully, these people have Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc., so they can pick up where the cameras left off.
In an effort to get people to look at her for another few seconds, The Jersey Shore's Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has put in extensions and dyed her hair fire engine red to create an effect she describes as "sexual" but which looks more "Halloween Little Mermaid wig" to me:
While the bold, brassy, illiterate color seems to match Snooki's personality, I can't help but wonder if she was trying to copy Lindsay Lohan, who has not been short on publicity as of late.
Then again, the more I look at it, the more I like it on her, so maybe Snooki has out-LiLoed LiLo. After all, unlike LiLo's sad, strawberry blonde approximation of the pretty natural color her hair used to be, this color is supposed to look 100% fake. So long as she stays away from drugs and car accidents, I think Snooki is going to be okay.

NEW ORLEANS — David Stern is going from the NBA commissioner's office to the Hall of Fame.
The recently retired Stern was elected Friday to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the class of 2014 on Aug. 8 in Springfield, Mass.
Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, Kevin Johnson and Spencer Haywood are hoping to be part of the class. They were chosen as finalists, with the full class to be unveiled April 7 during the NCAA men's Final Four.
Stern retired on Feb. 1 after exactly 30 years as commissioner, during which he brought the league to its greatest success. Jerry Colangelo, chairman of the Hall of Fame board, said the Hall hopes to have a special spot to display a tribute to Stern.
"He deserves to be recognized in a huge way," Colangelo said.
Stern was elected by the contributors committee. Also directly elected to the Hall of Fame were Lithuania star Sarunas Marciulionis by the international committee, former Indiana Pacers coach Bob "Slick" Leonard by the ABA committee, former New York Knicks player Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton by the early African-American pioneers committee, and former Temple star Guy Rodgers by the veterans committee.
College coaches Eddie Sutton, Nolan Richardson and Gary Williams were also finalists, as were former women's coach Harley Redin and the women's team from Immaculata College, which won three straight national championships.

There is a break-neck and beaten down old path which snakes up the Petit Salève and which leads to a little village called Monnetier. This is a very popular walk, although it is not the easiest if you are not well-equipped (good shoes and walking sticks) for the ride. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to go up all the way, because it is somehow quite dangerous and not very secure. Anyway, I went far enough in order to have a taste of what this route offers.
The Petit Salève is covered in thick, gloomy forest that, somehow, confers an eerie as well as a prehistoric atmosphere to this track. As if haunted, you can sense the spirits of the people who walked up this path for thousands of years. It is impregnated with history, events and the lives of our predecessors/ancestors. One feels totally transported by the heavy energy of the place... A very special spot!
By the way those pictures (click on the photos to enlarge) were taken a few weeks ago. Now, everything looks more spring-like and flowery.

Comment Don't overbuild for what you may never use (Score 1) 442
As someone who develops such sites for a living, I would suggest to keep things simple and just get the minimum hardware/hosting you can get by with. Time/money you spend trying to get your website scalable before it is necessary could be better spent getting and keeping paying customers. Once you have the demand, then you'll have a justification for 'moving to the cloud'.
Any kind of automatic cloud scalability is going to add substantial complexity and maintenance requirements. Unless a key selling feature of your service is scalability, I would not build for it in the beginning.
Use TortoiseSVN with beanstalkapp.com for version control, continuous integration, staging, etc. It is fantastically easy to use. You can set up an automatic deployment to a staging server on each commit, and then do manual deployments to your production server.
Another tip, you'll save on hosting costs if you go with a PHP/Linux/MySQL stack instead of Windows/ASP.NET/SQL. A single dedicated server at host like pair.com can probably host millions of hits on a carefully tuned application, and they throw in free/discounted hardware upgrades (with almost no downtime and no administrative work on your part) every few years. I could not be happier with their service.

I hope this doesn't seem redundant. But hey, I start one of these every year in July.
It's time to redistribute the wealth music fans. What 2010 new releases do you consider essential, progressive, or just plain enjoyable?
Top five from me:
1. High on Fire: Snakes for the Divine - super riff assault, crunchy stoner metal. The album begins with the epic tile track and never lets up. What else would one expect from HoF.
2. Monolake :Silence - depends on the country. I'll run with it. The classic dub techno magician Henke released a found sound concept album with the subject of man in a blizzard.
3. Autechre: Oversteps - my favorite Autechre since Confield. It's a little more back to their roots and sounded confident and playful.
4. Liars: Sisterworld - the art rockers brought their surfy Bret Easton Ellis vibe to the West Coast. I thought their last s/t was great, yet it's good to see them get a little more creative.
5. Barren Earth: Curse of the Red River - fusion metal members of Moonsorrow, Swallow the Sun etc. As might be expected, it's full of big, sweeping hooks and interludes.
Your favorite 2010 new releases?

Our laboratory is interested in studying how cells respond to internal and external cues, for example by undergoing a programmed form of cell death known as apoptosis, by modulating gene expression, or through the induction of proliferation. In normal cells these pathways are very tightly controlled, but one or more are deregulated in virtually all human diseases. Our specific interests are the study of a group of mammalian proteins called IAPs (Inhibitors of Apoptosis) which have collectively been shown to participate not only in apoptosis, but in intracellular signaling leading to transcriptional changes, as well as cellular proliferation and, most recently in copper homeostasis. Much of our current research is focused on the role of IAP proteins in cancer, especially prostate and breast cancer, with a particular emphasis on the potential of IAP antagonists as therapeutic agents, and additionally we are examining the role of specific IAPs in homeostatic regulation of lymphoid cells.
Related to our work on IAPs, we are also interested in studying the signaling pathways employed by the cell surface receptor, CD30, which is highly overexpressed in cells of Hodgkin's Disease origin, as well as certain non-Hodgkin's lymphomas including anaplastic large cell lymphoma. CD30 is an attractive target for these classes of lymphoma, because its expression is normally highly restricted in the body. We are very interested in understanding the cellular effects of CD30-mediated signaling, especially as these signals are transduced through certain members of the IAP family, and we are most interested in examining the potential for this pathway to be exploited for therapeutic goals.
For more details on our work, please see the Research section of this website or click here to see our publications.

Osteoarthritis 'link to heart disease'
Osteoarthritis in a finger may be an early warning sign of heart disease in men, a study suggests.
Doctors also believe that low levels of testosterone - the so-called "male menopause" - may point to men at risk. According to researchers, women are only at increased risk if they have osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease in at least two fingers on both hands. The doctors said further study is needed to find out why osteoarthritis increases the risk of having heart disease. Large study The findings are based on a study carried out by doctors at the University of Kuopio in Finland who looked at more than 7,000 people over a 30-year period. Half of these people had their hands X-rayed at the beginning of the study in the 1970s. Of these, four out of 10 had evidence of osteoarthritis in at least one finger. One in eight had evidence of the disease in at least two of the same fingers on both hands. People who were obese were twice as likely to have the condition. Older people were also at increased risk. By 1994, a total of 894 people had died. The study, published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, found that men who had osteoarthritis in at least one finger were over 40% more likely to die of heart disease. Women were 23% more likely to die of the condition if they had osteoarthritis in at least two of the same fingers on both hands. The doctors said they were unable to explain the differences between the sexes or why osteoarthritis may increase the risk of heart disease. They suggested further study is needed. Sex-hormone Meanwhile, in an article in the journal Heart, doctors from Sheffield suggested that testing testosterone levels in men could also identify those at risk of heart disease. They highlighted recent studies which have found that men with heart disease are twice as likely to have low levels of the hormone compared to those who are healthy. They also point to figures which show that men are three times more likely to develop the condition compared to women. They suggested that testosterone could explain this sharp difference. The doctors suggested that providing hormone replacement therapy for men could help to reduce deaths from heart disease. They said long-term studies would help "to determine whether or not testosterone replacement has beneficial effects on treating coronary heart disease". |

It remains to be seen whether or not Gronkowski will start the regular season on the PUP list. Rapoport added in a tweet earlier today that he's been told the star tight end "could be ready" for Week 1.
WBZ-TV in Boston reports that Patriots TE
"State Police detectives were back at his home Wednesday morning," notes WBZ. "They knocked on the door and no one answered. After making a brief phone call, they left and would not talk to reporters, referring all questions to to the Bristol County District Attorney's office. The D.A. has not commented on the case."
Adam Schefter of ESPN.com believes that
"I know there's this great curiosity about Tebow, but the truth is the two bigger and much more significant questions in New England are: How are the Patriots going to replace Wes Welker and how much will upcoming back surgery impact tight end Rob Gronkowski this season? Those two factors will have a much greater impact on what the Patriots' record will be this season," writes Schefter.
