UW spring football game at a glance
What: Wisconsin's annual spring football game.
When: 3 p.m. Saturday.
Where: Camp Randall Stadium.
TV: Big Ten Network.
Fan information: Tickets are $5, though children under age 2 do not need a ticket. All seating is general admission. All proceeds go to the UW School of Education. Stadium gates open at 2 p.m. Parking is available, for $10, in lots 16, 17, 20 and 80. Disabled parking is available in lot 18.
Kids Fair: The annual Badger Sports Kids Fair is set to be held from 1 to 3 p.m. in the McClain Center. The free event includes interactive games, displays and the chance to meet UW athletes and coaches from a variety of sports.
THREE ISN'T A CROWD: The coaches wanted to develop a third cornerback behind projected starters Sojourn Shelton and Darius Hillary. An unlikely candidate has emerged — Devin Gaulden. Gaulden, who will be a redshirt junior in 2014, did not play last season and was limited to a total of 10 games in 2011 and '12 because of leg and knee injuries. The 5-foot-10, 180-pounder from Miramar, Fla., could play a key role next season.
ON THE RISE: Defensive end Chikwe Obasih wasn't the most decorated member of UW's 2013 freshman class. However, the graduate of Brookfield Central impressed the staff with his diligent work and toughness on the scout team last season. He has played so well this spring that coach Gary Andersen believes he will be a starter in the fall.
NEW HOMES: Alec James, who will be a redshirt freshman in 2014, and rising sophomore Leon Jacobs have switched positions. James moved to defensive end from outside linebacker and Jacobs moved to inside linebacker from outside linebacker. Jacobs' move was dictated by UW's need to develop depth on the inside. According to defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, James proved difficult to block when he played end on the scout team last season. He didn't show the same explosiveness or instincts at outside linebacker during his work away from the scout team, so the staff made the change before spring ball opened. Both players are expected to contribute in sub packages next season, particularly as pass rushers.
SAFETY NET: Michael Caputo moved from safety to outside linebacker early in the spring but has moved back to safety. He will play closer to the line of scrimmage, as he did last season. However, UW must still find a second safety to replace departed Dezmen Southward. Cornerback Peniel Jean has gotten work at the position this spring along with freshman Austin Hudson. Leo Musso would be in the mix but he has been sidelined because of a leg injury and isn't expected to play Saturday.

The pop princess crown was officially passed over the weekend when Lady Gaga bested Britney Spears as No. 1 in Twitter followers.
Lady Gaga begins her Tweeign with a stampede of 5,749,846 (and counting) followers, reports Twitaholic. Spears, who first joined the social networking site in September 2008, has a hardcore 5,707,055 in her camp. Gaga started tweeting six months earlier.
According to Reuters, Spears' place on the top of Twitter wasn't all that. She passed Ashton Kutcher in followers less than three months ago.
Does she feel any connection to her fans? "I wanted to thank all my beautiful little monsters for following me," said Lady Gaga in her inauguration video thanking her fans for making her the No. 1 tweeter. "Thank you for beginning my reign as Twitter queen. May you always have soft cuticles while tweeting, may you never have carpal tunnel."
It's easy enough to say so, but she also promised: "I vow to never partake in celebrity online shenanigans. And I vow to always tweet and tweet again."
Lady Gaga and Spears are far from the only women in the top 100 of the Twitaholic list. Here, the top 10 ladies of Twitter. The full list is available here.
No. 1: Lady Gaga – @ladygaga
No. 2: Britney Spears - @britneyspears
No. 4: Ellen DeGeneres - @TheEllenShow
No. 7: Kim Kardashian - @KimKardashian
No. 8: Oprah Winfrey - @Oprah
No. 9: Taylor Swift - @taylorswift13
No. 12: Katy Perry - @katyperry
No. 13: Ashley Tisdale - @ashleytisdale
No. 16: Mariah Carey - @MariahCarey
No. 19: Demi Moore - @mrskutcher
(For the record, every one of your tweets matter too, Ashton, Barack and Justin, who are third, fifth and sixth on the list, respectively).
Also notable is that Twitter itself has a substantial fan base. It's No. 11 on the top 100 list and live since February 2007–that would be one month after CNN Breaking News started its Twitter page. No one, by the way, in the top 100 has been tweeting longer than Veronica Belmont, a tech and gaming video host from San Francisco who has 1.6 million followers.

Joint Chiefs leader in Kabul for talks
The top American military officer arrived in Afghanistan today to meet U.S. and allied commanders and consult with Afghan officials on winding down the war. On the agenda for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, is the pacing of troop withdrawals this year and next, as well as the rate of improvement of Afghan forces. President Barack Obama has not said how many troops would stay in Afghanistan after 2014, but it will likely be 9,000 to 10,000.
Two men shot dead
at day-care center
A man shot dead another man at a day care center in Gatineau, Quebec, then killed himself, and the 53 children present were evacuated unharmed. Police in the city across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital said they received a call about an armed man threatening people. They arrived to find one man dead with a shotgun beside him and a second man, an unidentified employee of the day care center, also dead. The shootings may have been related to a recent separation between a couple, Police Chief Mario Harel said.
Castro offers some advice to N. Korea
Retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro published his first column in nearly nine months, saying Havana has always been an ally to North Korea, but gently admonishing it to consider the well-being of humankind. "Now that you have demonstrated your technical and scientific advances ... it would not be fair to forget that such a war would affect … more than 70 percent of the planet's population," he said. If fighting breaks out, he said, President Barack Obama's government "would be buried by a flood of images that would present him as the most sinister figure in U.S. history."
Italy pardons U.S. officer in CIA case
Italy's president Giorgio Napolitano pardoned a U.S. Air Force colonel convicted in absentia in the CIA-conducted abduction of an Egyptian terror suspect from a Milan street. Joseph Romano was security chief of the Aviano Air Base, where the abducted Egyptian Muslim cleric was taken before being flown out of the country and eventually to Egypt. Romano was one of 23 Americans convicted in absentia.
Building collapse kills 68 in India
The death toll in the collapse of a residential building being constructed illegally in India's financial capital rose to 68 today amid diminishing hopes of finding any survivors alive, police said. Another 70 people were injured when the eight-story building on forest land in the Mumbai suburb of Thane caved in Thursday, police said.
With confirmation that a sixth person has died from a mysterious avian-borne virus, Chinese officials escalated their response on Friday, advising people to avoid live poultry, dispatching virologists to chicken farms across the country and slaughtering more than 20,000 birds at a wholesale market in Shanghai where the virus, known as H7N9, was detected in a pigeon earlier in the week.
Workers at the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant who were installing wire nets to keep rats away from a cooling system instead tripped that system, causing it to fail for the second time in weeks. The spent-fuel pool at the site's No. 3 reactor went without fresh cooling water for almost three hours Friday, the plant's operator said.
Uruguay's president caught in insults
Argentines and Uruguayans alike are joking about comments Uruguayan President Jose Mujica was overheard making about his Argentine ally, President Cristina Fernandez. Mujica called Fernandez an "old shrew" and "worse than her cross-eyed" late husband, Nestor Kirchner. The comments were picked up on a microphone that Mujica thought was turned off. He says they weren't meant to be public, so he won't apologize. Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman called the comments "unacceptable and denigrating … particularly from someone whom Dr. Kirchner had considered to be a friend."

DOVER — A city man was charged with arson after he set fire to a Christmas decoration on his neighbor's door New Year's Eve.
Glenn Breton, 47, of 7 Northway Circle, #5, was taken into custody at his apartment Friday afternoon.
Police said Breton was at a small get-together at an apartment inside 6 Northway Circle Tuesday evening, but was asked to leave after a dispute. He later set fire to the front door's Santa Claus decoration, causing damage to that door, a carpet and floor, according to police.
Members of the Police and Fire departments were called to the 18-unit apartment building at 11:44 p.m.
Residents were able to extinguish the small fire but the building was evacuated while fire personnel ventilated the structure of smoke.
There were no injuries reported in the incident.
Breton was released on $500 personal recognizance bail and will be arraigned on the Class A felony arson charge on Jan. 31, according to Police Lt. Brant Dolleman.

In his second-story church office, with its spectacular view of Colorado's Front Range, Ted Haggard spars playfully with a reporter from The Philadelphia Inquirer. Established East Coast newspapers haven't always sent reporters to interview pastors in Colorado, no matter how big their churches got. Times have changed.
In February, Harper's Magazine devoted 14 pages to Pastor Ted and his New Life Church in Colorado Springs, depicting him and his neighbor James Dobson as the two most powerful (and therefore dangerous) evangelicals in America. The piece by Jeff Sharlet was mostly scary atmosphericshe made much of the muscular warrior angels that adorn Haggard's World Prayer Centerbut it helped draw reporters. Today, Haggard is talking to the BBC and an XM radio talk-show host, in addition to the Inquirer's Paul Nussbaum.
Since Harper's placed Haggard somewhere on the spectrum between the Grand Inquisitor and William Jennings Bryan, you might expect Haggard to treat the press stiffly. On the contrary, he speaks appreciatively of Sharlet and seems genuinely eager to talk to Nussbaum. Haggard and his staff tell reporters to go anywhere, film anything, and talk to anybody.
Early this year, Haggard did send a memo to his congregation, tutoring them in proper behavior with TV reporters. "If a camera is on you during a worship service, worship; don't dance, jump, etc. Jumping and dancing in church looks too bizarre for most to relate to. Don't talk about the Devil, demons, voices speaking to you. Instead, tell your personal story in common-sense language. Don't be spooky or weird. Don't switch into a glassy-eyed heavenly mode."
Haggard believes in territorial spirits, demonic oppression, visions, ...

Transfer die design considerations
Questions to answer for successful design
A list of basic requirements must be met to begin the design process for a transfer die. You'll probably want to know why transfer dies are used, methods for loading material, the sequence of operations in a transfer press, and the details of manufacturing process before you start.
After receiving an assignment to design a die for a transfer operation, a die designer considers many questions and factors concerning the specific project. These questions help the designer to create the best possible design for all the factors comprising the project. If annual volume, press availability, or economic factors change, the die design may require major alteration.
What Information Is Needed to Start?
To begin designing transfer die properly, a designer needs several pieces of information. They are:
1. Press specifications—tonnage, bed size, strokes per minute (fixed or variable), stroke length, shut height, type of drive, scrap opening locations, size of windows.
2. Transfer specifications—make, type of drive (servo or mechanical), pitch length (minimum and maximum), clamp length (minimum and maximum), lift height (minimum and maximum), speed or control limitations, weight of bar and fingers (if available), length of part life in years.
3. Part specifications—material, thickness, complete data on part shape, tolerances, volume required per hour/day/month.
4. Miscellaneous information—quick die change system with description, frequency of changeover, feed method (coil or blank) and the feed method's accuracy, drop-off or finished part, lubrication specifications and amount, critical finish areas.
5. Sample parts or sight model—either styrofoam or wood.
Why Use a Transfer?
Often, customers requesting a die specify a transfer-type die for the following reasons:
1. The customer has a transfer press or a press equipped with a transfer system and wants to keep the system busy with a number of parts.
2. The part size dictates the use of a transfer system as opposed to a progressive system.
3. The volume is high enough to preclude the use of line, or stage, processing.
4. Cost reductions are required on the part to stay competitive.
Other reasons for requesting a transfer die may include the following:
1. Material savings of very thick or expensive material such as stainless or high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel can be increased. This savings can be significant, depending on the volume.
2. The part rotation required to produce a part cannot be done in a progressive die. (A transfer system can rotate as much as 180 degrees in a front-to-back axis as compared to a maximum of about 90 degrees with progressive-type dies.) This part rotation might be required because of burr locations or if the part shape makes access specific operations difficult.
How Will the Material Be Loaded?
Material can be loaded in several ways.
Figure 1 |
A coil feed works well with square or rectangular blank shapes, but other shapes can result in inefficient material use. The addition of a carrier on a progressive die can increase material use, so customers may choose to use a transfer when they are stamping expensive material (see Figure 1). A zig-zag feed system sometimes can be used to improve material loss and nest the blanks on the strip.
Coil/Transfer Hybrid. Another option is a combination coil-fed progressive die for the blanking operations and a transfer system for the remaining operations. This type of system can use material inefficiently with some blank shapes, but it eliminates the need for a blank destacker.
Often, these hybrids are in-die special mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic transfers rather than in-press transfer systems. They are designed and produced by die shops rather than by transfer manufacturers.
Blank Destacker. This system offers the most efficient material use because blanks can be nested in various configurations and produced from coil in the blanking line/press at a faster rate. In some cases, purchased blanks are a good, cost-effective alternative. A blank destacker also allows quick change of material for a part change or for material quality problems in a particular stack.
A blank destacker also eliminates one or more stations in the transfer and may allow the transfer to fit in a smaller press than otherwise possible. Other advantages of a destacker include uninterrupted production, output controlled by equipment rather than an operator, and improved safety.
What Is the Sequence of Operations?
The sequence of operations is developed and reviewed to evaluate the feasibility of producing the part in the press requested by the customer. If the number of stations required times the pitch length (usually dictated by the blank length) exceeds the capability of the press, a different press or other manufacturing techniques, such as off-line operations, will be required.
Two-, Three-Axis System. Is a two- or three-axis transfer required? Two axes usually allow faster operations on a piece-per-minute basis because of the transfer mechanism's decreased travel length. Sometimes, the part configuration will work well with a two-axis transfer, and, in other cases, the part shape does not allow two-axis operation, so a three-axis system is required.
A two-axis transfer needs supports between the operations to allow the parts to slide. If the part has a flat bottom surface similar to a World War I military helmet or automotive hubcap, it can be slid on the supports or bridges between the die stations. Other part shapes tend to tip when sliding and so are not suitable for this type of transfer.
Figure 2: The location of the part must be maintained in all axes after the fingers release it. In a two-axis system, this can be accomplished by using hold-down pins that hold the part in position. |
Often, the three- or two-axis decision is irrelevant because the customer already has a press or transfer system with a three-axis system. Many of these systems have variable travel with a minimum stroke on each axis, and the only concern is if the part requires more than the maximum stroke available. In some cases, the die design can be simplified with a three-axis transfer because the lifter mechanisms required to lift the parts for a two-axis transfer are not required.
Part Location. Another important factor is accurate part location when the parts are transferred to a new station. When the fingers release the part, the location must be maintained in all axes, including the rotational axis.
Sometimes, on a two-axis system, accurate part location is achieved by using hold-down pins that hold the part in position when the fingers retract and continue to hold the part until it is trapped when the die closes (see Figure 2). In some cases, on a three-axis system, the part shape itself helps to maintain the location. An example of part shape that is easily gauged is a cone-shaped part that accurately and automatically nests in the proper locations.
Transfer Stroke Distances. The part is studied carefully to determine the amount of pitch, clamp, and lift motion required. Then these characteristics are compared to the transfer system requested to determine if the part requirements and the transfer system are compatible.
Speed. Because pitch length is usually the longest transfer length, it is often the limiting factor in transfer speed. For maximum speed and because of press space constraints, dies are located as closely together as possible, and, ideally, the parts are oriented with the shortest dimension in the pitch axis.
Steel Grain Orientation. Another factor is the orientation of the part in respect to the grain of the steel. If a coil feed is used, the orientation may result in excessive material loss and excessive scrap costs. In some cases, the grain must go in one direction because of the part length and the coil width that can be used.
Scrap. During trimming, many pieces of material must be moved away from the dies. These small pieces of scrap must be disposed of quickly and automatically. One possibility is to add idle stations near the scrap chutes to keep the pitch length short. Of course, this can be done only if the press length can accommodate extra stations.
What Are the Details of Manufacturing Processing?After the basic evaluation is completed, the manufacturing processing of the part from station to station is analyzed. This encompasses a step-by-step, detailed analysis of each of the following.
Part Orientation. Decisions must be made at every station about the orientation of the part for ease of forming, life span of the die components, and accurate location of pickup during transfer. Often, a small amount of tilt allows a punch to go squarely through the material rather than hit on an angle, causing side loading and potential punch breakage. Other times, burr locations or extruded holes require major reorientation of the part, sometimes as much as 180 degrees or more.
Figure 3: The location of the scrap holes in the press bolster is one of several factors that influence scrap removal. |
Feed Line Height. At the same time that orientation is decided, feed line height must be determined to minimize transfer distance and maximize the speed of the system. Care must be exercised to make sure that the part orientation allows a satisfactory pickup point for the part in all stations, before and after the stamping operation. Lifters must be provided to allow access for the fingers without losing location or control of the part.
Weight. The weight and size of the part determine the acceleration and deceleration that can be used without losing control. Of course, the finger design also plays a part in this control. Excessive weight limits the peak speeds, which in turn affect the final average transfer time or speed.
In addition to part weight, the weights of the transfer arm, transfer fingers, and mechanism (or inertia) are factors in the ultimate speed of a unit. To minimize these weights, many transfer designers use high-strength, lightweight materials such as high-strength aluminum or ultrahigh-molecular-weight (UHMW) urethane for part contact fingers. This has the added value of eliminating or minimizing die damage in case the fingers are caught inside the die during tryout or because of a system failure.
Scrap. Scrap must be removed quickly and automatically from the trim dies or wherever it is generated. Scrap removal is affected by the location of scrap holes in the press bolster (if any exist), locations of scrap chutes outside the press, the size of the scrap, and many other factors (see Figure 3). The main point is to eliminate the jam-up of scrap, as well as any manual scrap removal, if at all possible. This will keep the system running at maximum efficiency with minimum downtime.
Mechanism Supports. On some transfers, supports exit at various points along the transfer bar to eliminate shake or excessive vibration. These locations and the locations of any die posts must be known to eliminate interference points during the design phase of the project.Grippers. In some cases, the part must be held with a hand-type gripper so that rotation can occur. This type of gripper is usually avoided, if possible, because of its cost, weight, and unreliability.
Finger Return Path. One of the most critical items of the transfer die design is the finger return path. The clearance between the fingers and the die components during the return stroke of the transfer must be analyzed to ensure there is no interference. If the transfer is mechanical, this is even more critical. Servo-type systems can vary the return profile of the fingers, allowing more clearance possibilities.
Figure 4: To eliminate obstacles to the transfer of parts, the die set pins are almost always located in the upper shoe. |
Post Locations. To eliminate obstacles to the transfer of parts, the die set pins are almost always located in the upper shoe. This allows clearance for the transfer fingers to work as soon as possible during the upstroke to allow the maximum time for finger retraction during the downstroke (see Figure 4).
Are Any Additional Efforts Required in Project Management?
Usually, no extra project management effort is required, particularly if the transfer press or system is already operating at the customer's plant. If a new transfer is to be purchased, the situation can be somewhat different.
Because more than one company is involved—the transfer manufacturer, the die designer/builder, and the customer—communication and decision making among the involved companies can be somewhat difficult and time-consuming. If answers to critical questions are not received on a timely basis, delays can accumulate and affect delivery deadlines.
One answer to this dilemma is to assign the transfer responsibilities to the die designer/builder. The cost of the transfer might increase slightly if handling or markup is required, but communication and decision making will be much smoother, and delivery dates will most likely be met.
Transfer dies are not much different than line dies, with the exception of pin or post location, scrap handling, accurate automatic part location, and pitch alignment from one station to another.
When compared with other types of stamping, transfer dies can decrease labor cost, increase material savings, and eliminate secondary operations.

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal courthouse blocks from the World Trade Center site in Manhattan is getting a $10.4 million security boost, more than a decade after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks proved the need for it.
Chief Judge Loretta A. Preska announced the plans Monday, saying a 4,500-square-foot glass and steel structure where court officers can screen people for weapons and explosives outside the building was a commonsense solution to a problem that seemed obvious after terrorists hijacked two planes and demolished the 110-story twin towers.
"Preliminary plans were drawn, but the project was never funded, despite the fact that some of the highest profile, most dangerous terrorist cases in the country are resolved in this court, mere blocks from ground zero," she told a news conference attended by numerous judges and security personnel.
She said New York Congressional representatives drew attention to the issue before the General Services Administration "scoured the country" for money left from completed or cancelled projects that could be spent on the pavilion.
"New York is still the No. 1 terror target in the United States, if not the world," U.S. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said.
U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said the improvement was "essential modernization." He added: "We have to be very careful about security for a long time to come."
Construction is scheduled to start this fall and be completed in April 2015.
The courthouse opened in the mid-1990s. It's next to a federal courthouse that was built in the 1930s and was recently refurbished. Several terrorism trials in the courthouses have resulted in more than two dozen convictions.
The announcement came just two months before the 20-year anniversary of the start of the first World Trade Center bombing trial stemming from the February 1993 attack that killed six people and injured more than 1,000 others. Four men convicted at trial are serving life sentences.
Other major trials have resulted in the convictions of terrorists charged in a plot to bomb five New York City landmarks including the United Nations, defendants accused of plotting to blow up 12 U.S. airliners over the Far East and men charged in the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998 that resulted in 224 deaths, including 12 Americans.
Also convicted in the courthouses was Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 bombing. His uncle, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, was supposed to be tried in Manhattan on charges that he was the architect behind the Sept. 11 attacks but it was decided he would be tried in a military tribunal after concerns were raised that his trial would pose security threats to Manhattan.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Why is it that so many purveyors of packaged goods around the globe speak to people as if they were idiots?
I have numerous theories about why this is; and am certain there is no one simple answer. However, I suspect that many of the reasons have to do with the fact that too often, package design is created by "committee." As a result, the package becomes a presentation of mixed contributions and collected messages.
While this video on package design at Apple and Microsoft has been around for a while, it's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Check it out.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that there are many inputs necessary to get a great product to market, drive business and build brands. However, in the end, I believe that the responsibility for package design should rest with designers. I also believe that one of the most difficult design challenges that exists for nearly every packaging program I've seen is a job of editing.
Today, more than any other time in history, marketers are communicating to extraordinarily smart audiences. The next wave of spending power has been raised learning to figure out things on their own, adopting technology as a "sixth sense," surfing the web for anything they might have a question about, participating in conversations and sharing opinions on numerous platforms. These people are smart, intuitive and constantly seeking ways to connect. Choice isn't their problem; they have plenty of choice. They're looking for things that stand out with simplicity, clarity and style. They reward those brands that realize this and act accordingly. What they seek in packaging is no exception—they are attracted to those that treat them as the intelligent human beings they really are and make sense as something that will fit into their cluttered and busy lives. Package design matters, even in the commodity categories.
Think about how other media have evolved. USA Today paved the way with bullet point-length messaging and Twitter has pushed us to limit ourselves to 140 characters. Period. The graphical user interface they interact with has evolved with technology to be visually simple, bold and intuitive. The old rule of thumb in advertising was that people couldn't digest more than seven words on an outdoor billboard as they were driving by at 55 mph. I promise you today's shoppers push that speed limit constantly! The idea of bold packaging must acknowledge today's pace of living.
So why is it then that marketers continue to try to tell people everything about their brand and the product—attributes, benefits and a step-by-step tutorial on usage—on the front of a package? Does anyone really believe that the words "NEW" or "IMPROVED" have any viable impact among today's shopping public when the number of new products we see on a weekly basis has multiple zeros behind it?

Didn't want you proceeding expecting to see something like little Redmond gremlins hobbling around the circuit boards and modems. Yeah, if you've seen one teardown, you've seen them all. So unless you get a tech chubby from circuit board pr0n, proceed with your daily madness because even the Surround's big feature is a tiny speaker, iFixit determined that the "[sliding] mechanism provides added complexity for the sole purpose of arguable audio performance gains."

Hey Mike will this work with the Quickstep?
Hey Mike will this work with the Quickstep?
Thanks Mike....As usual your sharing of knowledge liberally in this thread is awesome.........Must be that Texan Hospitality.....
Oh one more question
In other words how do i know the correct polarity plug & connector into the socket.....Is it Positive or Negative?
Which is the One I use for the Quickstep.
Ok thanks again, still waiting on the Quickstep to arrive. Very excited by this amp.
Hi Mike,
as you have a large headphone amp inventory and experience, is there a desktop amp that is sound wise superior to the Stepdance by a big margin? I have only low ohm cans and only the AKG K702 is "hard to drive". I ask that because whenever I recommend the Stepdance/2Stepdance/Quickstep series, someone jumps in and states that only stationary amps can make headphones really shine. And I am talking about the 15 volt XP8000 powered Stepdance. I feel that this power supply makes it much bigger as it is on 9 volt.
"You might be wondering why I haven't tried the Meier Classic... It's because I've repeatedly heard that the Classic is warm"
The CLASSIC is not warmer than the QUICKSTEP. Just more powerfull and more resolving. And it has a very nice crossfeed!
Compared to most other solid-state amplifiers the CLASSIC is very "grainless". People may feel that as an increased warmth.
Dr Meir can you please provide a brief subjective sound description of your product, what you are targeting for each product, your side provides nice technical information but not much about how you percieve the sound from your own products.
Thanks in advance.
Dear Audionewbi,
most and for all CORDA amplifiers are ment to be very honest, but without any trace of harshness that so often is associated with solid-state electronics. Sound should be detailed and clean, without any artificial warmth or muddiness. Also background should be as silent as possible.
There are some differences between amplifiers though. The ROCK is an entry level amplifier and most likely will be combined with relatively cheap sources. Therefore its sound is slightly more forgiving than that of JAZZ or CLASSIC. But overall soundsignature of the CORDA range is pretty constant. The more expensive amplifiers simply provide more detail, more power and a more fluent sound.

More than 190 religious leaders from North Carolina, including the Catholic bishop of Raleigh, are asking one of their U.S. senators to endorse the declassification of a report on the CIA's use of torture.
The North Carolina Council of Churches (NCCC) has written a letter to Republican Sen. Richard Burr, asking him to support the release of a 6,000-page report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, of which he is a member, on detention and torture tactics used by the CIA since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The Aug. 27 letter, release to the press last week, was signed by Catholic Bishop Michael Burbidge of Raleigh as well as hundreds of other clergy members, including Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders.
The report, which took three years to compile, is classified, but some senators told The New York Times it "concludes that the use of waterboarding, wall-slamming, shackling in painful positions, forced nudity and sleep deprivation produced little information of value. It concludes that the use of those techniques did not disrupt any terrorist plots and made no significant contribution to finding Osama bin Laden."
Intelligence Committee Democrats, led by chairwoman Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, want to declassify the report's 300-page executive summary. Only one Republican, Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, agrees with them. The remaining Republicans, led by committee vice chairman Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, do not want anything to go public unless their dissenting statement and a summary of the CIA's response is included, the Times reported.
Republican committee members support the CIA's anti-terrorism efforts, and the NCCC tried to appeal to this position. Writing to Burr, who is also the ranking Republican on the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, NCCC said, "Our relations with the Muslim world have deteriorated, and a major reason is that our credibility on human rights is under question ... Our national security would be improved" if the Intelligence Committee report were to be declassified.

"As a strong supporter of the U.S. armed forces and its veterans, you can do nothing more valuable in restoring the world's respect for our service members ... than to help make public the [committee's] report on detainee treatment," NCCC wrote.
The NCCC letter also explained that people of faith want to reconcile with torture "done by our citizens and in our country's name." They cite an April statement from Des Moines, Iowa, Bishop Richard Pates, chairman of U.S. bishops' committee on international peace and justice, in which Pates also urged Feinstein and Chambliss to declassify the Senate report.
"The U.S. bishops have long registered their absolute opposition to torture," Pates wrote. "In Catholic teaching, torture is an intrinsic evil that cannot be justified under any circumstances. Torture violates the human dignity of each person. It is degrading to all involved, not only the victim. It also compromises the perpetrator and the society that tolerates its practice. It has a corrosive effect and diminishes our moral credibility in the world.
"Having the [committee] release the full report on CIA interrogation techniques would go a long way to ensuring that the public becomes aware of past practices, and of the illegality and ineffectiveness of torture."
Similarly, NCCC wrote, "Sen. John McCain has spoken out repeatedly about the need for the U.S. to come to terms with the truth about detainee abuse. In so doing, the U.S. will display moral integrity to the world and show the respect due to all human life."
The issue of torture is especially significant to North Carolinians after a report titled The North Carolina Connection To Extraordinary Rendition and Torture was published in 2012.
The report shows that Aero Contractors Ltd., whose headquarters are at the Johnston County Airport in Smithfield, N.C., worked for the CIA from at least 2001 to 2006.
"Aero aided in the kidnapping, extraordinary rendition, secret detention, and torture of a number of men," the report states.

Arm & Hammer makes a good and natural anti-perspirant. Also, wearing an undershirt will seriously help prevent yellowing of the dress shirt armpit area. You can also shave your armpit hair off. You'd be amazed how little anti-perspirant/deoderant you'll need without the hair. If your shirt is already grimed yellow, throw it out. Even Oxy-Clean cannot revive a shirt that is beyond remedy.

News: 10/5/12 - All new members are REQUIRED to fill out the signature section of your profile. Otherwise, you may be deleted from the forum. This is to help me determine if you are a member or if you are a spammer. Thank you. 9/22/12 - I ask that you please add a signature line to your profiles on the Cletrac Forum to help me to determine who is spam and who is not. You don't need to drop everything and do this immediately, but please do it when you get a minute and you are visiting the forum. Just go to http://cletrac.org/forum2010/index.php?action=profile and put something in the signature area. If you no longer want to be a member on the Cletrac Forum, please remove your membership. 8/10/11 - Added a new board: Trucking and Hauling 5/30/11 - Just added several new pictures to the Photo Gallery, including several Alfta Track OC-4 working in snow logging, several from the Chicago Road Show, and some from a logging show (not all Oliver/Cletrac). All these pictures are from around 1963 and were scanned from old slides given to me by my late friend John W. Davis. Go to the Photo Gallery and click on "NEW" to see these pictures. Quality is marginal, but I think you will enjoy them. 2/13/11 - Just added a new board "New members introduce yourselves here". Folks, I just added a new photo gallery where you can upload your own pictures with descriptions, etc. Right now this is in the beta testing stage to see how it works out. Give it a try, but please keep a backup copy of your pictures just in case we decide to use something else. I would prefer you use your real name on the photo gallery, but if you really don't want to, please use the same username as on the forum. Please put your images into the proper categories and take care when your write out your descriptions and image names so people can search for them. I am learning this as we go. At least at the beginning, I have it set up where the administrator has to approve members. I am afraid we may get porn spam in here if we leave it open. To get to the photo gallery, use this link: http://cletrac.org/photos/ Folks, when you join the forum, or when you get the chance to update your Profile, please be sure to put your location and interests. Filling out your signature would help as well. I've been getting some spammers joining and posting links to sites that are completely unrelated to Cletrac or Oliver, or anything to do with tractors. It would make it easier for me, as well as all the other members, if you guys would put your location and interest in your profile. See http://cletrac.org/forum2010/index.php?topic=1299.msg5184#msg5184 Thanks, Administrator |

Spirit was from te auction. She was in near danger of going to the slaughter house. My mom saw her and wanted her but my dad didnt think she would live. I was at my friends house at the time, and i didnt want to go home. y parents said they had a surprise, so i went home. I was really grumpy while they led me to one of the 2 barns on the property near the back. Then I saw my sisters in the barn along with my mom, and I was like "She's mine. What's her name?" and they said "Her name is Spirit, and she is the family horse." But after a few months of me and my mom getting her fat, she gained a trust toward me, and the next thing I knew, she was m 4-H horse and nobdy for the most part rode her but me. I got her about 4-5 years ago..

This weekend was filled with many events! Friday night was Halloween of course...and while Jared and i didn't have any big plans, our little niece and nephew in Tennessee had a blast trick-or-treating! Jared and I mailed them their costumes this year. Mason was a transformer, and Mallery was the cutest little mouse ever (see picture below). It's really hard being so far away from them, especially when they're so young and growing more and more each day! I'm really looking forward to the holidays when Jared and I have our own little ones.
Saturday morning my brother and cousin got here bright and early to help with our house building. My cousin Travis builds houses for work, and he's running the show with our house, which is wonderful and we are so so thankful for his help....however, because of his regular job and living 2 hours away, he can only come here on weekends - which is understandable of course! This weekend there wasn't too much done that is actually noticable, however a lot of necessary details were completed. Saturday night Jared and I went to a wedding and had a wonderful night out with friends. Come Sunday evening, we were beyond exhausted and in bed by 8:30 pm! Here's a picture of us from Saturday's wedding!

Stabilize Your Video With The SLINGSHOT
by Tommy Ly
April 6, 2012
Some things will never change: Tripods provide a camera with added stability and shooting video on our unsupported iPhones will be a little shaky no matter how hard we try to keep our movements smooth. The SLINGSHOT, a current Kickstarter project, aims to be a great, multi-function accessory that serves as both a tripod and a handle for your phone.
If you can't see the embedded video above, please click here.
Designed by Charles Waugh, a professional photographer, the SLINGSHOT is his solution to the problems that current smartphone stabilizers have. Its cradle is injection molded from acetal resin, which is extremely resilient - allowing it to bend without losing its original shape. It can accommodate any smartphone (with or without a case) and will provide a firm hold, thanks to over-molded rubber pads on the parts that will come into contact with your phone. The cradle, which features a 1/4-20 thread, can also twist off to be used on top of any tripod.
When used with the handle, the SLINGSHOT attaches to a ball joint in the top of the handle. Of course, this allows you to adjust your phone to a variety of angles for shooting. The handle also features two pull-out legs that allow it to be used as a tabletop tripod, which makes the SLINGSHOT even more handy.
A pledge of just $14 will get you your own SLINGSHOT. If this project reaches its $20,000 goal by May 20, the units are expected to ship in June. You can count me in on this one, especially since it will be compatible with the next generation iPhone, which will (somehow) have an even better camera than the one in the iPhone 4S.
To make a pledge, or to see more of the SLINGSHOT, visit Kickstarter. Will you back this project? I know I will.

Cheverst, Keith and Blair, Gordon S. and Davies, Nigel and Friday, Adrian (1999) The Support of Mobile-Awareness in Collaborative Groupware. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 3 (1 & 2). pp. 33-42. ISSN 1617-4909
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper explores the need for mobile-awareness in groupware designed for use in a mobile environment. The motivation for providing this additional form of awareness is that current groupware tends to assume a reliable and constant quality of communications that does not exist in a mobile environment. The implications of making this false assumption are twofold: first, systems that enforce certain ordering and reliability semantics across all operations can suffer drastic performance penalties; second, users are given insufficient awareness of (and control over) the effect of the unreliable communications environment on their collaboration. The support of mobile-awareness implies providing users with appropriate and sufficient inforraation to adapt their behaviour (and the behaviour of the system) in response to changes in the quality of group communications available. To support the development of mobile-aware groupware we have built a flexible Quality of Service (QoS)-based group service capable of providing group-oriented feedback to application level services.

First and foremost, my impression of Jupiter One is not an emotion that passes through me all that often. It is a rarity when a song/album/band gets my kicks completely and positively off.
But there is something resonating deep with Jupiter One for me. Creating a sentiment that makes me get up and start dancing around my living room mid-day blasting the music less than neighborly pleasant. I believe they call this sort of thing 'dance floor-friendly'; who needs understandable lyrics when you have that kind of groove?
All in all, for a vast majority of the songs off of their new album Sunshower, the chorus is about the only thing anyone can really comprehend properly at first listen. But something about these songs makes all of that okay. Jumping genres and mixing in with the likes of Grizzly Bear, tuned in with a little pop-punk movement it's almost heavenly to hear what this band has produced from such simple backgrounds.
Their album Sunshower can be used to suit many different moods, which I find to be quite an astonishing accomplishment for many artists. It's their sway of many correlated genres that help them to impede these emotions vicariously through Electronica, Pop, Punk, and my favorite of all even Indie/Folk. Having been described as a blend of 1980s Rolling Stones, and MGMT it's impossible to pass this band by without an open mind. Each song on this album has its own vibrancy for which you can compliment any event. Starting with the first track "Volcano" which headlines as an amazing way to start off the disc. Its ups and downs of ageless melodies stomping carelessly through each second of the song are nothing more than pure melodic passion.
This song's strong suit is located in its hitchy chorus surrounded by hand-claps and grooved up riffs. A drop in movement can be heard especially well a little later in the album. The eighth track, "Find Me a Place," resembles a sound something like softer stuff by The Beatles. A soothing voice brought on by singer K Ishibashi carries in the intro and falsettos its way down through the choruses.
On the last song "People in the Mountain, People of the Ocean" seemingly embodied around some pretty easy folk guitar pickings; it seems that the latter half of the CD is set for a soother environment. Having found every way, in and around the makings of a well rounded album; it seems as if Jupiter One has taken their strides in the right direction for their sophomore exertion.
They are opening for Regina Spektor on her upcoming tour starting this fall, a well deserved place in line, I am favorably convinced. I am completely amused in the vibrancy and youthful sounds these guys and one gal tend to pull off. Their music is adventurous and bubbly, weathering exceptionally quickly past a lot of their precursors in their musical category. I have high doubts that Jupiter One will be fading out anytime in the near future.

text: Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu makes his first English-language feature with the downbeat drama 21 Grams. Set in an unnamed U.S. urban center, the film uses a nonlinear structure to piece together the intertwined lives of three very different people. Paul (Sean Penn) is a math teacher with a heart problem and a troubled marriage to British wife Mary (Charlotte Gainsbourg).

Steamboat Springs When three-time cancer survivor Patrick Byrne pedaled into Steamboat Springs en route to Massachusetts, he had nothing more than his bike, a small carrying bag and a big heart.
Other bicyclists riding through Steamboat over the weekend were racing across the United States and had support vans following them to offer aid when thundering clouds rolled in or bike tires went flat. Byrne, on the contrary, rode alone through the beating-down heat of the Sierra Nevadas and jumped into an abandoned car on the side of U.S. 40 to escape from lightning before reaching Steamboat. Along the 90-mile leg of the trip into Steamboat on Friday, he also had to deal with four flat tires.
"Someday, when I'm rich, I'm going to have the vans behind me feeding me power shakes ," Byrne, the millionaire CEO of overstock.com, said with a smile. "Actually, one of the reasons I like doing this is the solitude."
On his cross-country bike trip Byrne, who started in San Francisco, enjoys reciting poetry and calculating numbers. Everyday, he memorizes a deck of cards and recites their order while pedaling.
Byrne started his cross-country trek May 29 in San Francisco to raise awareness about the fight against cancer. The man who has had cancer in his lungs and bones expects to reach Sturbridge, Mass., by Aug. 4. In Sturbridge, he will join more than 3,000 Pan-Massachusetts Challenge riders for a two-day, 200-mile fund-raising ride for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Mass.
"I'm a big believer in giving money back to the system that saved me," Byrne said.
If the Massachusetts race raises its goal of $9 million this year, Bryne has pledged to contribute an additional $1 million to the cause. He rode three previous trips during cancer remissions.
"Nine million dollars is something that's difficult, but doable. Everyone has to stretch," Byrne said. "The dollars donated here are efficient because the government doesn't give money until the end of the drug testing process, but basic scientific research is often funded by general donations."
Besides raising money for a good cause, Byrne's bike ride is a personal stepping stone for him. It is the fourth time that Byrne has biked across the country, but the first time he has done it since beating cancer his last time.
"Since I got done with cancer, I didn't want anything to do with cancer for 10 years," Byrne said. "But when Billy Star called me and asked me to speak to the group of Pan-Mass bicyclists this year I suppose that I felt a little selfish because I've never done anything to communicate with people about cancer."
After battling cancer three different times, Byrne has been cancer-free for more than 10 years and maintains an attitude that he'll go down swinging. Scars on his body after 20 surgeries and a lung that is in the same shape as a man in his 70s are sobering reminders of the devastating disease.
"Bicycling is a low-impact way to build lungs and at the end of this trip, I'm going to do another VO2 test (which measures lung capability) to see if my lungs are any better," Byrne said.
This is the first time that Byrne has biked through Colorado and he was happy to reach Steamboat. He spent the weekend resting here and set off Monday for the remainder of his trip. His next extended stops will be in Denver and Chicago.
"So far, Colorado, has been the most bike-friendly state," Byrne said. "It's really nice getting here because from Steamboat on, it's like civilization again. Through the Sierras, I was on the road some days where no one would pass me the entire day."
Byrne already has raised several thousands of dollars, he said, and he has received more than 200 e-mails from supporters. Anyone wanting to donate to cancer research can visit overstock.com on the Internet and click on the CEO's trip icon to access a map.
"Not that I'd quit anyway, but there's no way that I'd quit with all of this good karma going my way," Byrne said.

Read good reviews and wanted to upgrade surround sound for my new Samsung UHD 8500 4K television. Immediately noticed the picture was not as sharp as it was with my old pioneer receiver. Tried different brands of HDMI cables and pass through combinations. The picture quality with the old receiver was still noticeably better. Put the Onkyo back in the box and continue to look for a receiver that will match the fantastic resolution of the new tv.

The unit performs well providing crisp audio, rich video with connectivity to nearly every connectable device to date. But it was disappointing to learn that for a unit that was to replace the TX-NR608 there is no THX Certification included, a feature and listening mode that any movie buff would embrace. Also the front panel input labeling is extremely hard to read w/o back lights. If those issues aren't deal breakers then you can't go wrong with the TX-NR626...it is a "solid performer".

This was easy to setup. As an audiophile I do not mind taking the additional time to fine tune my equipment but it has been un-necessary so far. The room setup was so easy I had my young son do it while I was working and it sounds fantastic.
Service and delivery comments:

Great sound and features
By Technology fan
from Ca
I'm really enjoying this receiver. I'm replacing a 10 year old Sony that died but the speakers still work. Makes the old speakers sound much better! Can't wait to upgrade my speaker set. I have used the Bluetooth music streaming from an iPhone a little and seems to work great. I have been playing Pandora a lot. The receiver has all the connections and features I wanted. Very happy with the purchase! I have plans to set up a second room, but can't comment on that yet. My only minor problem is with the iPhone app. I like the app and the functions it provides - lots of control over the receiver. However, the app appears to lose its connection to the receiver from time to time and can't reconnect. I currently have the receiver on my wifi, but will try a wired connection to see if it's better. The simplest solution so far has been to reboot the phone - that seems to fix things.
Works great.

About Me Practical
Purchased this receiver for the TV in my finished basement. PROSIt's pretty easy to set up, though a little tedious.It works quite well. Remote works well with the receiver.CONSThe Internet app/interface is not as intuitive as I thought it would be. ThoughtsI purchased the internet enabled receiver thinking this would be a nice advantage over older receivers, but considering all your other devices are generally internet ready, it's a bit redundant to have. Especially since the internet interface is really not user-friendly when compared to a Samsung smart TV interface. Therefore if you are on a budget and want to go with a cheaper option I think you would be fine to go that route. All in all though, it's a good receier that doesn't have any issues when used primarly for great sound for all your devices.
Great Product!
By DJ Chris

About Me Pro Audio / DJ
This product is great for the price. I wanted to zone music in different rooms with the ability of a sub in both areas. I wanted to have the option to control my music via bluetooth and wifi and this receiver does both. The product does not overheat like many of the receivers I researched. I DJ so like many sound guys I like my music crisp and with very minimal distortion. My father's Onkyo system he bought in the late 70s still works so I wanted to go with a system that is highly reputable.
My salesperson Brian Russo has never steered me to a terrible product. His recommendations have been dead on with what I needed and nothing more. It is very hard nowadays to find a store like Abt that makes you feel satisfied about your purchase.

LARRY LAGE, AP Sports Writer
DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander is struggling so much he's taking consolation in pitching long enough to give the bullpen a rest.
Hisashi Iwakuma extended his scoreless innings streak on the road to 25 and Justin Smoak homered off Verlander to help Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 8-0 on Wednesday night.
Verlander (13-12) allowed three runs, four hits, walked three and struck out six over seven innings.
"You never want to lose, but you can take away a little bit of solace, going seven and not having to wear out your bullpen," he said.
The AL Central-leading Tigers had won three straight and six of seven to close in on their third straight title, but they have not eliminated the Cleveland Indians from contention in the division.
Verlander, the 2011 MVP and Cy Young Award winner, earned a victory in his previous start to end a six-game winless streak. He has won consecutive games only once — July 31 and Aug. 6 — since winning four straight starts in late May and early June.
"The stuff has been getting better almost every time out," Verlander said. "How I'm going to be in the postseason, we'll see. You never want to say anything clinched until it is."
In the fourth inning, Iwakuma got out of a bases-loaded jam for the second time in the game at Detroit.
"We had a shot," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "But that's what good pitchers do, they don't let you capitalize.
"That's why he's one of the best."
Iwakuma (13-6) matched his career high going eight innings, giving up just four hits and one unintentional walk. His 25-inning scoreless streak on the road matches a franchise record.
Iwakuma, who became an All-Star this year in his second season, joined Randy Johnson (1994) and Brian Holman (1989) as Mariners who have thrown 25 straight scoreless innings on the road.
Verlander gave up walks to leadoff hitters in the first two innings, and the second time it led to him giving up two runs.
Smoak got a free pass in the second and scored on Michael Saunders' double deep into the left-center gap. Nick Franklin followed with an RBI single to give Seattle a 2-0 lead.
"The walks hurt me," Verlander said. "It seemed like every inning, especially the first four, I was very erratic with the first batter of the inning."
Verlander seemed to finally find a groove in the fourth inning when he retired the side in order, but Smoak's solo shot — his 17th homer — gave Seattle a 3-0 lead in the sixth.
Verlander struck out two in the seventh, ending his 124-pitch outing.
Leyland gave Phil Coke a chance to pitch in the eighth and he allowed four runs — three earned — on three hits and one unintentional walk. He retired just two batters before being replaced.
"Phil's just not making good enough pitches to get big league hitters out right now," Leyland said. "He's hanging his breaking ball, he's throwing the ball in the middle of the plate."
Seattle's Danny Farquhar pitched the ninth and faced Alex Avila, a high school teammate in Florida, and struck him out to end the game.
NOTES: The Tigers gave OF Torii Hunter a scheduled day off and rested 2B Omar Infante. … Tigers RHP Bruce Rondon, who hasn't pitched in a game since Sept. 2 because of an elbow injury, threw from 120 feet on Wednesday and the team hopes he can throw a bullpen session by the end of the week. … The Tigers announced Larry Parrish will be retained to manage the Triple-A Toledo next year. … Detroit's Doug Fister (12-9) will start against Seattle's James Paxton (2-0) in the series finale Thursday, then the Tigers will open their home series against the Chicago White Sox on Friday night when Max Scherzer will make his fifth straight start seeking his 20th win.

Acoustic waveguide technology
The challenge
The challenge Bose engineers faced in the 1970s was as multi-layered as a piece of music. Big speakers were required to produce the wide range of frequencies found in a song, from the intricate notes of a violin to the deep low frequencies of a bass guitar. A rack of components was needed to keep up with the massive speakers. Suddenly, the simple goal of enjoying quality sound was complicated and space consuming.
Music also presented an inspiration with a device called an "acoustic waveguide." This simple device confines the movement of a sound wave so it travels over a desired path. An example is a pipe organ, which uses a small amount of air to fill a cathedral with full, rich sound.
Another example is a flute. By blowing a stream of air across the mouthpiece, a musician can produce enough sound to fill a large room. However, both of these instruments have a serious limitation where loudspeakers are concerned—production of different notes requires waveguides of different lengths. This is created either through fingering, as in the flute, or by selecting another length of pipe, as in the organ.
Dr. Amar Bose and a senior Bose research engineer, Dr. William R. Short, had the foundation for the technology, but their path was still littered with challenging questions. How can you utilize a single acoustic waveguide if it can only reproduce a single note? How can you keep a system compact if, like an organ, you need dozens of pipes to produce a wide range of sound?
It would take 14 years of research to find the answer—acoustic waveguide speaker technology.

I originally stumbled upon SIS after a professor of mine suggested I check out the organization. After doing some research, I noticed that their mission aligns with my professional goals very well. I obtained my BS from North Carolina State University in Sport Management with a Coaching Education Minor and I am currently pursuing my MS in Nonprofit Management with a Spot & Social Change Concentration here at Northeastern. My short term professional goal is to become a sports programming director at a YMCA, Boys and Girls Club or similar organization. My long term goal is to eventually become an executive director or CEO of such an organization. An opportunity with SIS will not only allow me to network, but it will equip me with more knowledge and hands on experiences in my field.
I came into this experience not really knowing what to expect with a very vague idea of what it is Sport in Society actually does. The first day as an intern consisted of getting to know my fellow interns, co-ops and staff here at SIS. We went over the mission & goals, history, accomplishments, etc. of the organization and I started to realize the magnitude of SIS, but I still wasn't fully grasping the concept.
I spent my first few days observing the day to day operations of the office. Not really knowing my purpose as an SIS intern made me feel essentially useless, browsing the web as everyone else was busy at work. It wasn't until my initial meeting with our senior staff to go over my goals and ideas that I started to formulate a sense of what I will be doing over the next few months at SIS.
The other interns and I will be working on a project focused on sport based youth development (SBYD). We will be formulating curriculum for sport based youth development organizations that focuses not only on sport, but developing a well-rounded individual as well. We are still in the beginning stages and in the process of ironing out all of the details, but I am excited to finally make a contribution and keep learning from this experience.
October is going to be a busy month here at SIS. Not only are we busy at work on our new project, but there are seminars, trainings and various events that SIS plays a role in. What I am looking forward to most is the MVP Fall Institute. MVP stands for Mentors in Violence Prevention. Since starting my internship, I often hear the senior staff, tenured interns and coops referencing something they learned from the MVP training in everyday conversations. Clearly something that remains this prominent in daily discussions is something worth checking out. I don't really know what to expect from the trainings, but I look forward to participating not only for the experience, but to know what everyone is talking about when they bring up MVP.
I am getting more comfortable with the culture and roles at SIS and I look forward to continuing to learn and soak up as much information as possible. My goal is to not only learn from my internship, but to also leave a lasting footprint on the organization, hopefully our SBYD curriculum will do just that.
