There was plenty of news last week in the race for state attorney general, with Republicans settling on a candidate and Democrats deciding to allow three candidates to battle it out in the April 24 primary.
After Gov. Tom Corbett indicated that he favored Cumberland County District Attorney David Freed, Montgomery County state Sen. John Rafferty dropped out of the GOP race.
Rafferty had the support of GOP powerhouse Bob Asher, party leaders in Philadelphia and the suburbs and many of his fellow state senators, but is leaving the race because of his respect for Corbett as the titular head of the party.
"I have gotten to know Dave Freed on the campaign trail. He is someone I like and one who has compiled a strong record as district attorney," he said.
Meanwhile, the Democratic State Committee met Saturday in State College, and no candidate obtained the required two-thirds votes of members to earn an endorsement.
The candidates are former prosecutors Dan McCaffery of Philadelphia and Kathleen Kane of Lackawanna County and former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy.
It was revealed last week that Murphy has never taken the state bar examination and never tried a case in a Pennsylvania court.
Murphy was admitted to the state bar in 2004 based on his passing the Minnesota bar exam and five years as a U.S. Army lawyer. He graduated from Widener University Law School in 1999, then took the Minnesota bar exam because he was told that he'd get the results in time for him to enter the Army Judge Advocate General Corps.
The Murphy campaign released a poll showing him with 36 percent of the vote, followed by Kane with 15 percent and McCaffery with 8 percent. The results are from an automated telephone poll conducted on Jan. 10-11 of 1,001 randomly selected Democratic primary voters.
Murphy has the support of former Gov. Ed Rendell; U.S. Reps. Chaka Fattah and Allyson Schwartz; City Councilwoman Maria Quinones Sanchez; Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams; state Reps. Larry Curry, Dwight Evans, Mike McGeehan and Tony Payton; former U.S. Sen. Harris Wofford; and Sprinkler Fitters Local 692, Plumbers Union Local 690 and Ironworkers Local 401.
At the party meeting, Democrats endorsed U.S. Sen. Bob Casey and Treasurer Rob McCord, along with York County state Rep. Eugene DePasquale, who is running for auditor general.
Republicans have a crowded field for Senate.
The GOP is expected to back Allegheny County state Rep. John Maher for auditor general. Democratic incumbent Jack Wagner is prohibited from seeking a third term.
Center City Realtor John Featherman, who lost last year's Republican mayoral primary to Karen Brown by 64 votes, will run this year in the 1st Congressional District.
U.S. Rep. Bob Brady (D-1st dist.) faces a primary challenge from former Municipal Court Judge Jimmie Moore.
The district includes Delaware County and South Philadelphia, along with Wissinoming, Tacony, Holmesburg, East Torresdale, West Mayfair, Castor Gardens and Frankford.
Freshman state Rep. Kevin Boyle (D-172nd dist.) will seek a second two-year term.
In 2010, Boyle defeated longtime Republican Rep. John Perzel, who was facing corruption charges. Perzel has since pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
Boyle, who serves on the Urban Affairs, Finance and Health committees, has several priorities.
"Locally, there are not enough high-performing schools for our children, especially in light of recent Catholic school closings. I will also keep up the fight against the proposed methadone clinic for Frankford Avenue. In Harrisburg, I will continue to campaign for the passage of my legislation that imposes more stringent reporting requirements on witnesses of sexual abuse, which I introduced in response to the events related to the Penn State/Jerry Sandusky case," he said.
Republicans have not settled on an opponent for Boyle, whose district was made more Democratic in redistricting.
State Rep. Larry Curry (D-154th dist.) announced last week that he would retire at the end of his term.
Curry's district includes one division in Burholme. The new district includes three divisions in Lawndale.
Elected in 1992, Curry is the minority-party chairman of the House Aging and Older Adult Services Committee.
A lifelong Jenkintown resident, he formerly served as a borough councilman and Montgomery County commissioner.
Curry, 75, has endorsed retired high school social studies teacher Steve McCarter.
Jeff Harbison also plans to seek the Democratic nomination. He's founder and CEO of a software company, a member of the Springfield Board of Commissioners, treasurer of U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz's political action committee and president of the Wyndmoor Civic Association. ••

Tampa Bay actually had a pretty decent campaign. Certainly better than anyone had expected. But that wasnt good enough to save the jobs of GM Brian Lawton and Coach Rick Tocchet. A new owner is in town and Jeff Vinik saw the problem right away. Uncertainty, instability an overall culture of dysfunction. So while Tocchet did an acceptable job as a new coach in not only getting a team closer to the postseason, but also turning Steve Downie into quite a player he was part of the slate that needed to be cleaned. No real complaints about Lawton either, but to change a culture the change must be sweeping and it must start at the top. So what does all this mean in fantasy circles?
Vinik brought in Steve Yzerman to be the new GM. He knew what he wanted and he went after it. Yzerman was actually rumoured to have turned the job down but Vinik kept bringing him back to the table until he convinced him. Normally, I frown upon ex-jocks taking up a management position a position that needs business strength more than hockey expertise but in this case, it was the right move. While still very new to the business of managing a team, Yzerman is probably going to be a fine GM. After all, he trained under the best in Detroit under Ken Holland. But more importantly, Yzerman brings stability and respect.
The current players on the roster feel better about the future. Unrestricted free agents will take the team seriously. Other general managers are clear on who they are negotiating with. The chain of command is clear. Yzerman would not change cities like that without being given carte blanche. Fans in Florida will notice. This will absolutely make a difference.
So with the culture and the future now positive and stable, how will they move forward? With a salary cap increase, the team is looking at about $22.5 million in cap space for next season. The signed players fill the following depth chart as such:
Martin St. Louis Steven Stamkos RFA
Ryan Malone Vincent Lecavalier space
Space space - RFA
Todd Fedoruk space space
Andrej Meszaros Victor Hedman
Mattias Ohlund Matt Walker
RFA - space
Matt Lashoff Matt Smaby
Mike Smith
The RFAs are the three restricted free agents that I expect them to sign Steve Downie, Mike Lundin and Ted Purcell. The team could also re-sign Paul Ranger and Vladimir Mihalik, but if this team really does transform itself on the ice as much as in the front office, then dont count on it. So Tampa Bay needs to fill eight roster spots, plus three depth spots either from within or through free agency or trade. There is nothing glaring in the pipeline, so trade and free agency are the likely options.
Which brings us to Vinny Lecavalier. No longer the franchise, but it would be a mistake to write him off. He just turned 30 and despite the fact that he has only missed six games in the last four years, he has been playing through terrible shoulder and wrist problems. Hes had surgery on each, but there is a recovery period and as he recovered his fantasy owners have been bailing on him. But make no mistake, the Lecavalier who tallied 200 points in two seasons (2006-07, 2007-08) is still there. October will be the first time in three years that he is playing pain free with full mobility. Furthermore, all the uncertainty will be behind him. Yzerman will either trade him, or he will make it clear that he will not be dealt. More importantly the matter will settled. Thats another intangible that Yzerman brings to the table. People will believe him. No more distractions.
Lecavalier will have his best season in three years. Mark it. And if Stamkos gets 95 points and Lecavalier gets 95 points, what does this mean for the wingers? It will mean a repeat of strong campaigns from St. Louis, Malone and Downie. It will mean a strong year from whomever they sign as a free agent to take the spot of the departing Alex Tanguay (who is an unrestricted free agent). It will mean that Purcell is a nice dark horse.
The domino effect will be this contention for the playoffs, more Ws for the goaltenders, more production from the likes of Hedman. This is an important offseason for Tampa Bay, but I have faith for the first time in years.

I'm 54, newly married, work part-time, and hit the gym a couple of times a week. Seems since getting married, there's less time to go to the gym and more incentive to eat.....
I'm a 37 year old single mother of an 8 year old girl. I work full time in an office. I have a hard time because I sit all day and then I don't cook properly because I'm so tired by the end of the day that we eat a lot of pre-packaged food. It's no surprise that I've gained so much weight! I was on Weight Watchers about 5 years ago and lost 25 lbs. I have since gained that weight back plus another 15 lbs.
i am a 26 year old married mother of a 1 yr old girl and stepmother of a 16 yr old girl. i am a LPN, and i work 40 + hours a week, so i really find it hard to find time to get/eat healthy. i really need some motivation.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Winter hopefully is over in much of the country, and now it's car shopping season. Spring and summer are the busiest times of the year at showrooms, as stir crazy consumers trade in the vehicles they can no longer stand to drive, and others head out in search of deals.
But before you buy a car this spring, there are four steps to take.
1) Figure out what you can afford. The luckiest car buyers don't have any problem picking out what they want, and paying for it. The rest of us have to do some budgeting. The average car is now almost 11 years old. It may not have been 11 years since you went car shopping, but it may have been a few.
In that case, brace yourself: the average car now costs about $32,000. That works out to an average monthly payment in the neighborhood of $460, according to the Wall Street Journal, and payments climb on more-expensive vehicles. Leasing is one way to get around that, and car companies have plenty of zero interest financing plans that help cut the expense.
2) How long do you want to pay for it? The typical car loan length is 65 months, according to Information Solutions. That means the car you buy now will be debt-free sometime in 2018. And, some loans as long as 97 months are being written, which means that these people will be still paying for their automobiles in the next decade.
If you don't want a car loan hanging around until the next president is elected, you can put more money down or pay cash. But remember that dealers love it if you finance vehicles. You might think you'll get the best deal if you roll up with a suitcase of money. However, it's best to save that information until you've transacted the deal.
3) Decide how much you'll drive. All over the country, people have been curbing their car use. Transit systems report record ridership. Commutes by bicycle are climbing. Now that it's spring, some are walking to work. Have you made any changes in lifestyle in the past few years that affect the miles you'll put on an automobile? Are the kids gone -- or have they moved back in?
It's very possible you could drive more, if you've downsized to one household vehicle, or if a recent graduate needs to borrow the car for his or her new job. Be realistic as you're planning for your next automobile. You don't want something that will just sit in the garage, or get so much use it looks beat up after only a year of life.
4) What's the real reason I'm doing this? It will come as no surprise to learn that sales of convertibles are strongest in the summer time. Likewise, there are consumers that absolutely have to have the newest model the minute it reaches the showroom. Fans of the Chevrolet Silverado may want to be first in line when ' new pickup goes on sale this spring. However, waiting has always turned out to be a good strategy, at least price wise, in the modern automobile market.
Will you actually use that convertible beyond the summer, or will fall snowstorms force you to put it away? Is there more use you can get out of your existing vehicle, at least until the lines die down? Be honest with yourself. If you can afford an impulse purchase, more power to you, but if your head has been turned more than your bank account can accommodate, there's no harm in waiting.

There is simply not enough death in this world. Everywhere I look, I behold:
- resuscitation classes
- pension schemes
- fertility clinics
- vaccines
- charities combating famine
I ask you now: how is the overpopulation, the depletion of our resources, the mass pollution of our globe going to be dealt with if everyone simply keeps defending life?
Forsooth, anti-life is a term of which to be proud; for we, the rational, should at all times strive to uphold the ideal of an ecosystem void of that most despicable organism, the human.
I say ergo, let us give it up for death! Nay, let us propagate it!
It must by now surely have become clear that 'life' was a great mistake. Down with failed concepts! Down with existence!

Guest Commentary: Better Turkeys: Buy Local
By Joyce H. Newman, The Green Guide
This holiday season you may be better off buying your turkey from a local turkey farm or other local supplier rather than buying an organic turkey from a large far-off supplier. The reason: large organic farms can operate in many ways like large industrial or factory farms that are designed to produce uniform quantities or turkeys that can be shipped over long distances.
Prior to the industrialization of turkey production, which began at the turn of the century, small family farms often kept a flock of turkeys that roamed around to graze, roosting in trees, and growing to full size only after seven or more months. With historic names like Narragansett, Bourbon Red, Jersey Buff, and Beltsville Small White, these old-fashioned breeds are called "śHeritage Turkeys"Ø.
But today the turkeys we eat, for the most part, are all one variety known as the Large White that was introduced in the 1950s and was subsequently bred to meet the needs of industrial production. Large Whites grow rapidly and reach full size in about two months. They often are raised on high fat diets in cramped quarters and given antibiotics to prevent disease. And they taste like it.
According to the editors of The Green Guide buying turkeys raised on small farms or sold by small local suppliers not only will give you a better tasting turkey, but you will be helping small-scale agriculture. Buying locally also helps avoid extra energy-related costs that result from shipping turkeys long distances.
The editors caution that methods used by smaller local farms and suppliers don't always get certified and so therefore can't label themselves as such, even though they are essentially organic. They recommend you look for the American Humane Association's "Free Farmed"Ø label on certified turkeys in the store to make sure the turkey has had a good diet, grazing, and appropriate environment. Another label that indicates a good choice is "Certified Humane Raised and Handled"Ø which is supervised by Humane Farm Animal Care.
The Green Guide also provides a list of various suppliers for organic turkey and suggests ways to locate your closest source by checking the website called Local Harvest. A good source for information on Heritage Turkeys is Slow Food USA.

Item PM25
This Item was Sold on 28 December
2012 for $26
Similar artifacts for sale are often found on the Panama
Molas web page.
Historical Pricing information for this item and similar artifacts
can be found at: Historical Artifact
This is a vintage mola made in the 1960s or earlier and
made out of two layers of cloth using an embroidery
technique called reverse applique. Most of the cloth from
these early molas came from the country of Colombia. This
mola has an abstract pre-Columbian geometric design that
suggests a complex maze. This mola is hand stitched and it
was removed from a mola blouse. The cloth interface between
the mola and blouse is still attached (see photo). This mola
would display well on a wall if mounted in a frame.
Many of the simple molas with abstract geometric designs
are among the most valuable. I certainly appreciate the
older ones more because My childhood was spent on the
Atlantic coast of Panama and I traveled many times to the
San Blas Islands. I had many Kuna Indian friends who lived
in Colon and worked in the restaurants or traded goods to
the Hindu shops on Front Street in Colon. As a young adult,
I worked on ships and one of my shipmates was a 75 year old
Kuna medicine man whose name was John Bodder. He taught me a
lot about how the Kuna used indigenous plants, their gods
and customs. I am sorry that I did not write it all down to
share with others. The molas that I sell are from two sources: my family
collection (purchased between 1953 and 1974) and from Dean
Flora, a Baptist missionary who spent a lot of time in the
San Blas Islands in the 1960s and early 1970s. Dean was a
wonderful man who tried to introduce Christianity without
destroying the Kuna culture. The Kuna Indians loved him and
made him an honorary member of their tribe. This honor is
rarely bestowed to outsiders. Therefore, all of the molas
that I sell are at least 35 years old. but most are 40 to 60
years old and some are even older.
The mola is a rectangular piece of cloth that was made by
Kuna [ Cuna ] Indians located in the San Blas
Islands on the Atlantic coast of Panama between the Panama
Canal and the country of Colombia. The Kuna are indigenous
Carib Indians who were never subjugated by the Spanish. They
have always been somewhat autonomous from the governments
that have claimed the San Blas Islands as part of their
territory. However, the Kuna have always tolerated the
presence of other cultures, including the missionaries who
had a significant impact on Kuna culture. Until the recent
past [ 100+ years], the Kuna did not wear much
clothing. They painted their naked bodies with abstract
geometric designs and gods using dyes from native plants.
The missionaries convinced them to wear clothing in the
presence of Christians, so the Kuna learned how to make
their own clothing from cloth that the missionaries
provided. Because the clothing covered the abstract designs
on their bodies, the Kuna learned the art of reverse
applique, so that multiple layers of cloth were cut out and
then sewn together to form beautiful abstract designs with
the stitching on the inside.

Prevalence: Dependence doesn't discriminate
Why opioid dependence is a medical condition.
How tolerance can lead to dependence?
Why some people are more likely to become dependent?
Understanding the stigma of opioid dependence.
Opioid dependence is more common than many people think. Every year, thousands of people become dependent on prescription opioid pain medication after their medical need for pain relief has passed. Others become dependent from the recreational use of opioids, such as heroin.
No one is immune to opioid dependence. It affects men and women of all ages, races, ethnic groups, and educational levels. According to the 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH):
32.7 million people aged 12 and over had misused pain relievers in their lifetime.
Approximately 3.5 million people used heroin in 2005.
Prescription drug abuse killed more than 8,500 Americans in 2005.
The DEA reports that "opioid painkillers now cause more overdose deaths than cocaine and heroin combined."
Opioids are drugs that have the same effect on the body as opium. Some opioids are made directly from opium (for example, morphine, codeine, and heroin). Other opioids are manufactured to be chemically similar to opium (for example, the pain medications oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl, with brand names such as OxyContin®, Vicodin®, Percocet®, and Actiq®).
For people in pain, opioids can be effective medicines for pain relief. For some, however, opioid dependence can be an unintended side effect of prescribed pain treatment.
When opioids enter the bloodstream, they attach to opioid receptors (called mu receptors) in the brain, stimulate the release of dopamine, and produce pleasurable feelings. After repeated use, some people can experience withdrawal symptoms and cravings—and can have a strong psychological desire to repeat the experience.
So two things are going on here: One, withdrawal is so severe your loved one seeks out more drug. And two, cravings for the pleasurable feelings of euphoria induced by taking the drug, drives repeated use.
Nerve synapse in the brain where opioid receptors are located.
Dopamine is released and pleasurable feelings are produced.
As the opioid leaves the receptors, pleasurable feelings subside and possible cravings and withdrawal symptoms begin.
Frequent and persistent use of opioids can cause brain cells to change the way they work. The brain can be "reset" to think the drug is necessary for survival. In other words, the brain of a person dependent on opioids can cause them to feel as though they cannot live without this drug—and eventually may cause them to adopt compulsive drug-seeking behavior.
Researchers have discovered that opioids cause long-term changes in the brain. In this sense, opioid dependence is a long-term disease similar to high blood pressure or diabetes. The good news is that opioid dependence can be treated effectively with drug therapy combined with counseling.
The need to satisfy cravings or avoid withdrawal can be so intense that even people who want to stop taking opioids find this difficult. Consequently, they may find themselves doing things they wouldn't ordinarily do in order to obtain more of the drug they crave. For this reason, even though opioid dependence is a medical condition and not a moral failing, it can drive behavior.
When a person uses opioids, the brain gradually gets used to the drug and becomes less sensitive to it. As a result, the person needs more of the drug to achieve the same level of pleasurable feelings. This is how tolerance develops. With longer use or higher doses, the brain adjusts to the increased levels of opioids, and then requires those increased levels to feel satisfied or "normal" to avoid withdrawal. This is how tolerance can lead to dependence.
Physical dependence is typically associated with tolerance and withdrawal. Psychological dependence involves continued drug use despite harm. Psychological dependence can reach the point where people have uncontrollable cravings for the drug—and are willing to take significant risks to obtain it, regardless of the negative consequences to themselves, their families, their jobs, or their community.
The pleasurable feelings—as well as the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms—increase the likelihood that opioid use will be repeated. Most people who take these powerfully reinforcing drugs don't become dependent on them. Although the specific causes vary from person to person, certain factors, such as the opioid of choice, a family history of drug or alcohol dependence, genetic predisposition, underlying emotional issues, peer pressure, and the environment, can increase the chances of becoming dependent.
More and more, opioid dependence is being accepted as a long-term medical condition, like high blood pressure or diabetes.
Yet unlike these other conditions, opioid dependence carries a powerful stigma. For example: Imagine you're interviewing for a new job. You wouldn't think twice before asking whether the company's health plan covers the cost of insulin to treat your diabetes. But would you be as quick to ask about coverage of costs related to your opioid dependence?
This stigma is rooted in the long-held belief that drug dependence is a moral failure. Only within the last 20 years have researchers realized that drug dependence is a medical condition caused by changes in the brain.
Today, opioid dependence in the United States is growing at a fast rate. Sadly, the stigma associated with opioid treatment deters many people from seeking help.
Removing the stigma of opioid dependence is critical to helping people get proper care. A key part of achieving this goal is wider recognition that opioid dependence is a medical condition—not a moral failing. It's not about being a good or a bad person, it's about embracing treatment, including both medication and counseling, and going forward from there.

some corrections from Greg Duffel
A couple of possible corrections on the Jones art:
The Porky strikes me as something from a Davis or Tashlin cartoon. Brother
Brat maybe? If it's Jones, which cartoon?
The Bugs Bunny in an Elizabethan outfit is an Abe Levitow drawing for a
cartoon Abe directed.
The Dog below it is almost certainly from "Fast Buck Duck" and is probably
drawn by Ted Bonnickson, the "co-director", as it doesn't look like a
The Bugs Bunny with red underdrawing is a Washam.
And speaking of your Washam post today, yes, that animation of Bugs Bunny
you note as being in a Mckimson style, is by Ken Harris. I like Harris'
animation at the end with the female rabbit robot. Some very clever
stagger animation there. I also like it when Bugs Bunny sings "I'm headin'
for my beddin'..." which Harris animated.
Also, I had some communication with Mike Barrier recently about the DVD 5
of Looney Tunes, and specifically his commentary about "Tale of Two
He gave credit to Scribner for the anvil in the ground scene,
but that's some really odd Scribner drawing, which I thought looked more
like Davidovich (who incidentally animates on "Hair Raising Hare"). Look
at those hands on the Babbitt cat. Would Scribner draw like that? Mike
kindly sent me Clampett's notes on that with a list of who did what and
Scribner is assigned that scene alright.
The Bugs Bunny you note at the beginning was animated by Lloyd Vaughan.
I'm going to read your Scribner stuff.
Thanks Greg, and my apologies for my errors.

Lovely drawings! I'm having a Looney Tunes renaissance period right now. I'm starting to realize that Chuck Jones, Freleng, Clampett and Tashlin were true animation geniuses.

Yeah, I was thinking that the openning Bugs scene was done by Lloyd Vaughn. I remember reading that Lloyd's work was so sloppy at the beginning that Jones was thinking about letting him go. Thankfully, Ken Harris took Lloyd under his wing and gave him some pointers. He would then do some fine work for Jones up until the brief shut down in 1953.

Mr.K, I've been having some thoughts (no, really) about the importance of flipping pages and what it means now that it seems to be something lost among software right now.
How important, in your opinion, is the old page flip to animation? - 1:56 AM

Amen, Brother Waller.

I love bugs bunny and all of the other looney toons characters. It's interesting to see how they are broken down into the separate animations instead of what most people see on television.
- Liimlsan said...
The opening was probably Lloyd, just for that melt. 'Rabbit Fire' has a good example of the melting his faces had ('You start this time').
I find that whenever there's a scene in a Clampett cartoon with good draftsmanship and Scribner movement, but symmetry, twins, and slightly off features TENDS to be Manny Gould. That's my guess. (All of his work has a tendency to revert to twins - he's like Ron Clements or I that way.) - 8:48 PM

TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Introduces Industry's Highest Performance Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
By: Business Wire
Jan. 28, 2013 11:01 AM
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the expansion of its award-winning Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscope family to include the world's highest performance mixed-signal oscilloscope, or MSO. The expansion adds six new MSO models, as well as 13-GHz DSO and DSA models, to the X-Series. Engineers and developers use MSOs to accelerate testing by employing the additional trigger flexibility for debugging and validating their devices. The tightly integrated digital channels of the new MSO models can function at 20 GSa/s in an eight-channel configuration, 60 percent faster than other high-performance MSOs, or at 10 GSa/s in a 16-channel configuration. Agilent now offers MSOs ranging from 70 MHz to 33 GHz of analog bandwidth. The new 13-GHz DSO, DSA and MSO models give engineers access to the industry's lowest noise and jitter measurement floors of the Infiniium 90000 X-Series at an unprecedented low price. "As system speeds have increased, it has become clear that additional digital channels, with performance appropriate to the analog scope bandwidth, would mark the next breakthrough in insight for our customers," said Jay Alexander, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Oscilloscope Products Division. "Pairing the world's fastest MSO with up to 33 GHz of true analog bandwidth allows engineers to accurately debug and validate emerging technologies such as DDR4-3200." With the Agilent Infiniium 90000 X-Series, current and future customers who purchase DSO or DSA model oscilloscopes can upgrade to MSO functionality. Most high-speed MSOs available today come with fixed configurations that cannot be upgraded. Agilent's N2834A upgrades let users add MSO capability at any time. This capability, along with Agilent's existing bandwidth and memory upgrades, makes the X-Series one of the most flexible and expandable platforms on the market. Unlike other MSOs, Agilent Infiniium 90000 X-Series MSOs have up to 400 million points of data capture behind each digital channel. To accommodate sample-rate differences between the high-speed analog channels and the digital MSO channels, this memory depth can be automatically sized with the analog trace length, including the full 2-Gpts memory available on Agilent oscilloscopes. This memory depth allows for fully time-correlated capture of elusive events that span a long time record. Very fast memory channels, such as DDR3, often have complex signal qualification conditions that can elude even the most adept engineer. Agilent has added a special DDR triggering mode to the new MSOs to perform read/write separation and eye alignment for these complex conditions. Protocol errors plague even the most mature system designs. While some modern scopes have the ability to move up the protocol stack on the analog channels, an engineer trying to understand root cause can quickly use up the scope's analog channels. Adding an MSO makes up to 16 high-speed digital channels available for the measurement. Protocol checking on the digital channels for a measurement like DDR makes it possible to see the full view of analog impacts while validating protocol compliance. The MSO uses the same 90-pin connector found on Agilent's logic analyzers. This allows access to a broad range of probing accessories including:
U.S. Pricing and Availability Agilent Infiniium 90000 X-Series MSOs can be ordered today at the prices listed below. Shipments of the MSOs, including upgrades, will begin midyear. The new DSO/DSA 91304A models are available for immediate shipment.
Additional information Additional information about Agilent's Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscopes is available at www.agilent.com/find/90000x-series. Product images are available at www.agilent.com/find/90000x-series_images. Agilent will be at DesignCon, Santa Clara Convention Center (Booth 201), Jan. 28- 31, to demonstrate high-speed digital solutions that help engineers design, simulate analyze and debug their devices and ensure compliant designs while cutting through the challenges of gigabit digital designs.

I just bought a PS-LX300USB and made my first recording. Very slick! I wanted to address a point made by more than one reviewer - "Can't monitor while recording". It is really very easy to do as there are two sets of outputs - USB & RCA (phono). All you do is run the USB to your computer and run the RCA to a stereo. In my case, my stereo is in another room - SO - I just got an adaptor from Radio Shack (COUPLER - two female RCA, one end, and one female mini phono, other end) and hooked up a set of iPod earphones to the RCA outs. Cheap headphones are best because they are designed for low output devices and will give you enough volume to monitor with, with only the turntable's built in "line-out" to power them. When one song ends hit the pause button, then the make another recording button, then the record button again. There are plenty of effects and tools - for old albums you can use the EQ to boost the highs, etc or put in a little reverb to make it sound more live.. You can preview (hear) any effect before committing. A great little package - all you need to do the job.

Lion Tattoos
Lions and Fun Facts
You see pictures of lion tattoos all the time. Big beasts that look like they are king of their territory and can growl and get their points across. With Halloween around the corner, a lot of the kids want to be a cute and cuddly lion cub like from the Lion King movie.
But what do you really know about lion tattoo dseigns? Here are some cool and amazing facts about them and why they are so important to keep around for many centuries to come. A lion is second only to the tiger as the world's biggest living cat. They can weigh up to five hundred and fifty pounds. Most wild lions you see live in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia.
Did you know lions live in India? There is a population of lions that are in Gir Forest National Park and now on the critically endangered list! This population used to live in North Africa and southwest Asia and now is totally extinct in these countries!
Back in prehistoric times, after us humans, the lion was the biggest land mammal. Historically lion tattoos they have been found in Eurasia from India to Western Europe, Africa, and in Peru to the Yukon in the Americas.
A wild lion can live about ten to fourteen years, but living in a wildlife refugee or zoo they can live up to twenty years. Males always live shorter lives as they are protective of their families and get injured more often by fighting with other male lions.
A lion's family is called a pride. This consists of the females who hunt together, the children, and a very small number of adult males. The pride will live typically in the grasslands or savannas and hardly live in the forests or bush country.
Over the last twenty years in Africa, there has been a major decline of lion tattoo designs. No one knows why. It could be because of humans or their food sources or even the loss of their habitat to survive.
When cubs are born, it can take about one hundred and ten days for them to arrive. Only one to four cubs will be born and will be hidden from the pride somewhere secluded like a cave or thicket that is sheltered.
The mother will hunt for the babies extremely close by and move them several times a month to avoid predators. They babies are also born blind and weight about 2.5 to 4.6 pounds when born.
If lion tattoo designs are not protected enough, they will not be around for our children or grandchildren to enjoy. So, this is why wildlife refugees and zoos are making sure this will never ever happen. Especially when it takes a long time just to have cubs born and survive. In captivity, the cubs have a greater chance of surviving! Now you know some fun and interesting facts about lions body art!

Isn't this one of the few occasions they're acceptable, though? It's a very sport-y sport coat, no?
Personally, I'm a fan.
Gotta agree with Despos. For some reason I think hacking pockets make guys look fat in many cases. It must be the lines they create.
Also, they usually look great on mannequins, but not on real bodies. Go figure...
Go ahead and get the hacking pockets. I don't care for them, but it's a subjective thing and works with your fabric especially if you have a 'country' thing in mind for the jacket. A "proposed ban" isn't the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but it's keeping fair company with it.
If I'm going to make any recommendation to you it would be to dump the idea of a ticket pocket with hacking pockets on your country style jacket. What do you have tickets to that you're going to ride your horse to? Not that there has to be a functional reason for an aesthetic feature, but the main reason people have been putting ticket pockets on their jackets is because it signals a bespoke make and gives the appearance of weath and priviledge. However, things have moved on over time and ticket pockets are taking on the look of an affectation of someone behind the curve. People of genuine weath and priviledge don't carry tickets in pockets, do they? They don't even have tickets. They're smuggled in the back door of whatever event/venue and wait in a VIP lounge for the whatever it is everyone else has tickets for, right? But if you like the look for your jacket, I'm not stopping you....
....or initiating a ban.
Go ahead and get them if you like'em. No one outside SF will even notice the difference.

I have my ESOL endorsement too! I thought the hardest part of the test was the listening part where you have to listen to the speakers of other languages speak English and diagnose their problems. If you have the practice study book, the questions are JUST like that. The test was very respresentative of the classes. I don't know where you live, but in Ohio, you only have to get 50% of the test correct to pass...that helped me relax too! You'll do great!

I always remember that more often than not your first instinct is correct. The more you mull over an answer the muddier the senario gets.
Good luck and thanks for the fantastic sort.

Housing benefit is a national welfare benefit that helps people on a low income pay the rent for the home they live in.
Who can apply?
You can claim housing benefit if you're renting your home and are on a low income (even if you are working). You must live in the UK, occupy your home, and be paying rent on it. Your joint finances will be assessed in cases where you have a partner.
You can't claim housing benefit if:
- you're not liable to pay rent
- you have more than £16,000 in capital (either you or your partner, or you and your partner together unless you receive the Guarantee Credit part of Pension Credit)
- you live in a nursing home or residential care home
- you're a full time student in higher education (unless you are in an exempt category, for example single parents)
- you're living in the same household and paying rent to a close relative, an in-law or employer
- you rent a former joint home from your ex-partner
- you're the parent or guardian of your landlord's child
- you receive Universal Credit
How to apply
You can find out if you qualify for some help before filling in your form by using our calculator.
Once you've used the calculator to work out if you qualify, you can fill in a housing benefit claim form. The information you have already put into the calculator will be automatically saved into your claim form, so you won't need to type your details in again.
You can use the same form to apply for council tax support
You'll need to have the following information available:
- details of the income and benefits received by each person in your home
(if you don't have payslips, or you've recently changed jobs, ask your employer to fill in our online certificate of earnings form) - details of your Local Housing Allowance
- the total balances for all your accounts (this includes any savings, post office or current), for you and your partner, if applicable
- the amount of council tax you are charged per year
- the amount of rent you are charged
- if you are self-employed, please fill in our self-employed earnings form
- if you have returned to live in the UK within the last two years you must fill in our habitual residence form to prove that you're entitled to make a claim for benefit
- if you or your partner, or any children you are claiming for own another property or land, either in the UK or abroad, you'll need to fill in our online property and land valuation form.
Setting up an online account for housing benefit
Did you know that you can view your housing benefit information online by signing up to My Bentax? The video below will guide you through the process of signing up for an account. If you need some help getting started you can watch our video guides to:
Sending us your evidence
At the end of the application form it will tell you what evidence we need to support your claim and if we want original documents or copies. If you need to provide original documents you can contact us to make an appointment to see an adviser in one of our local offices. Copy documents can be uploaded using the evidence attachment form. You'll have one month from the date you have applied to provide your evidence. You can watch our video help guide to uploading evidence documents online using iPad or iPhone here.
Acting as an appointee
If you have the authority to deal with a person's financial affairs, you need to fill in our form to request to be an appointee.
Next steps
When we've received all the information we need from you, we'll work out how much benefit you're entitled to and contact you with the details. This will normally take up to ten working days.
The date we start your claim for housing benefit is usually the earliest of the following:
- the Monday after the date you first told us you wanted to claim
- the Monday after the date your application is received by us
Backdating claims
If you have reached the qualifying age for Pension Credit your claim can be automatically backdated for a maximum of three months.
If you are of working age and want your claim to be backdated you need to tell us why you could not claim earlier. Read more about the rules for backdating housing benefit
If you disagree with a housing benefit decision you can appeal by filling in our dispute form. Read more about appeals and disputes.
How your housing benefit is paid
You can see the details of your housing benefit claim and payments by registering for an online account in My Bentax.
If you live in a council property your benefit is paid into your rent account every week.
If you live in any other social rented accommodation you can choose to have your benefit paid into your bank account, a building society account or credit union account.
You can also have it paid directly to your landlord.
If you live in a private rented property, most claims since 7 April 2008 are paid under the Local Housing Allowance rules. This means that we'll pay your housing benefit into your bank account once a month. We may be able to pay it direct to your landlord in some circumstances.
Housing benefit on two homes
We can normally only pay housing benefit for the property that you live in as your home. There may be special circumstances where you can apply for housing benefit for two homes for up to four weeks, if you have moved into a new home and:
- the liability to make payments on both properties is unavoidable
- the liability to make payments on your previous home is unavoidable
Change of circumstances
Please fill in our form to let us know if there are any changes in your circumstances as soon as possible. Read more about the changes in circumstances that we need to know about.

The NOAA Fisheries, Fisheries Statistics Division has automated data summary programs that anyone can use to rapidly and easily summarize U.S. commercial fisheries landings.
U.S. Foreign Trade
Current - January 2017
NOTE: The foreign trade data for 2013, 2014 and 2015 have been updated to reflect U.S. Census Bureau revisions published on 6/3/2016.
The Fisheries Statistics Division of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has maintained a foreign trade data base for many years. We have developed a series of programs that can be used to summarize U.S. foreign trade in fishery products for the years 1975 to present. You can summarize the kilos and dollar value by your choice of years, products, countries, and the type of trade.
Where does NMFS get this data?
Well, like everyone else, we purchase the data from the Foreign Trade Division of the U.S. Census Bureau. Census is responsible for compiling the information submitted by importers and exporters to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The data are normally scheduled for release to the public 43 days after the close of the statistical month.
Importers and exporters submit their transactions to the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection using the international Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS). The HS is the system for classifying goods in international trade which has been developed under the auspices of the World Customs Organization (WCO), located in Brussels. The WCO is an international organization consisting of representatives of about 161 countries. The U.S. is represented in the WCO by the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. The International Trade Commission maintains the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States used by importers to classify their goods. Exporters use the Schedule B maintained by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The following types of trade make up our database:
• Imports Of Fishery Products
• Exports Of Fishery Products
• Re-Exports Of Fishery Products
• Exactly what are the dollars?

hitch and brake controller question
I need to buy a hitch and brake controller for my '89 F-250. I'm clueless when it comes to a hitch. I'm looking for something that will reliably tow 7500 lbs, which is the most the truck would ever see. It's much more likely to be a 5k load, but I want the option to tow a loaded Waggy and not be at 100% capacity. I thought all Class IV hitches were about the same, but I noticed they don't all carry the same ratings. I've just used factory hitches on all the other tow rigs I've used, so this is all new.
I'm pretty sure I want this brake controller based on what I've read, but let me know if there is a better choice. I'm not concerned about the cost of a hitch or controller since they are safety equipment. http://www.tekonsha.com/prodig.html Thanks for any help. |

I have an avatar. Yippee.
1. Not sure what you're asking here, but buy a hitch with the rating you want. If you want to save a few bucks, find a factory hitch in any of the fine auto salvage yards in the greater Monroe area. Last time I was in Stoney Creek, they had many '96 down Ford trucks. The hitch for your truck would be compatible with '77-'96 models.
2. Damn nice controller. I'm not saying that just because I own one. The sensitivity control is great. I'd be surprised to hear bad comments about the Prodigy. |

Hidden Hitch and Draw Tite both offer class V hitches. This is what you are looking for.
Most class v's will allow you to pull up to 10,000 lbs w/ weight distribution. (IIRC...check to make sure) check out www.hiddenhitch.com for more info. Southgate hitch and plow....and I'm sure Monroe Truck accessories sell these. I run a tekonsha brake control on my dad's van. I am VERY happy with it. It's not the prodigy, but they make a good product overall |

I'm just checking to see if anyone has a preference on hitches. I presumed it was as easy as finding one that fits my tow rating and vehicle, but didn't know if one brand was better for some reason or not.

Whiterhino has tried the prodigy and it did not live up to it's promise of being the top dog. The DrawTite Activator 2 is my best seller and is what I have used on all of my tow vehicles.

If I run class V, I need a reducer so I don't need to buy a bunch of new inserts. I've got a nice collection of 2" inserts since I've used about 20 different tow rigs in the last 2 years. I'll check out their class IV stuff.

as far as the hitch, most of the companies are very good, and i also prefer to have a hitch with the highest rating...
As for brake controllers, i have 3 vehicles with them, all use the prodigy. i have yet to find a brake controller that works better for my needs... |
January 23rd, 2008, 01:00 PM | #10 |
I'm not old, honest...
Maybe I just got a bad prodigy but it continued to cut in and out. I lost brakes trailer brakes on I-75 in TN 2 years ago while going to Tellico. Not fun at all. I started swapping out components; first one plug, then another, rewired THE ENTIRE TRAILER, then rewired the entire motorhome, all because I knew my Prodigy was brand new.
Went to Autozone & bought a $80 controller & haven't had a problem since. I won't even bother to try one again. |

January 24th, 2008, 06:28 AM | #16 |
I'm not old, honest...
That kinda scares me. Long time reliable companies like Reese & Drawtite consider 2.5 to be the proper size for class V and a smaller company says we can handle the same loads with a 2". That means they are running with a lower safety factor.
So I end up saving a hundred bucks to haul my several thousand dollar trailer/ rig/ personal property? Not worth the risk in my book. Is there an industry standard set up by the NHSTA? (or whatever it's called) |

I love my Prodigy, no issues whatsoever.
Progressive controllers are so much smoother than the instant on type like the DrawTite. |

The way I see it, the hitch would be more than fine for my intended uses. I don't think my truck would be very happy with 15k in tow, if I could even find 15k to tow. The rating is still about double what I need. If it's cheaper than other hitches and is made by a company in MI, why not run it?

Hitches for towing are submitted to testing, you can't just build one willy-nilly (which is why aftermarket bumpers never have tow ratings on them). Have you ever taken a close look at a pintle hook? They have a little pin that holds it closed. Or a semi-trailer? Slightly larger version of a fifth-wheel.... Kinda scary to pull 40,000 pounds with that..... Hitch ratings also depend on the vehicle they are installed on. A Class IV hitch on one vehicle may have a lower capacity than a Class IV hitch installed on another vehicle. This "smaller company" was founded in the 1960's making hitchballs for the other "larger companies". In the 1980's they started making their own hitches, so it's not like their the "new kid". |

There has been a Putnum hitch on my truck for 13 years now. No problems no issues. There build a quality local product.

As anyone will know who has heard St Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra with its artistic director, they have a symbiotic relationship that works best in their native repertoire, where the orchestra's dark lustre is handsomely profiled. On this DVD, documenting concerts last year in Paris, Gergiev unusually conducts with a baton and creates performances that are both well contoured and emotionally charged. The camera catches all his characteristic poses and photo-frames the pizzicato workings of the Fourth Symphony's third movement in welcome detail.
The Mariinsky musicians have played this repertoire so often that they could probably do it in their sleep, but there's no sense of routine. It's hard, nevertheless, to see what the film adds to our knowledge of Gergiev or Tchaikovsky. The focus on the orchestra's glinting brass and the conductor's stubble only detracts from the inner life of the music – a problem that crops up with all concerts on DVD (an honourable exception being filmed performances of the late Carlos Kleiber). Unless you are such a Gergiev fan that you need to see him sweating on the podium, it's best to stick with the audio versions he has already made.
