And the answer is to see tutorial 13, use jit.glue, jit.scissors and move on to rendering multiple videoplanes in an opengl window.
However, I am not set on whether I want to use a 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 matrix, therefore I would like to know if anyone has come up with a flexible solution. Eg. a lists choosing between 2×2 – 4×4 arguments for the video output, and some easy way to read the videos.

What Is Hypervitaminosis A?
Hypervitaminosis A, or vitamin A toxicity, occurs when you have too much vitamin A in your body.
This condition may be acute or chronic. Acute toxicity occurs after consuming large amounts of vitamin A over a short period of time, typically within a few hours or days. Chronic toxicity occurs when large amounts of vitamin A build up in the body over a long period of time.
Symptoms include visual changes, bone pain, and skin changes. Chronic toxicity can lead to liver damage and increased pressure on the brain.
This condition can be diagnosed using blood tests to check your vitamin A levels. Most people improve simply by decreasing their intake of vitamin A.
Causes of Hypervitaminosis A
Excess amounts of vitamin A are stored in the liver and it accumulates over time. Most people develop vitamin A toxicity by taking high-dose dietary supplements. This may be because of megavitamin therapy. A megavitamin therapy involves consuming very large doses of certain vitamins in an attempt to prevent or treat diseases.
It may also be caused by long-term use of certain acne treatments that contain high doses of vitamin A.
Acute vitamin A toxicity is usually the result of an accidental ingestion when it occurs in children.
Getting the Right Amount of Vitamin A in Your Diet
Vitamin A is important for eye health in children and adults. Vitamin A is also important in the development of a fetus, specifically the heart, ears, eyes, and limbs.
You can get most of the vitamin A your body needs from a healthy diet alone. Foods that contain vitamin A include:
- liver
- fish and fish oils
- milk
- eggs
- dark fruits
- leafy, green vegetables
- orange and yellow vegetables (sweet potatoes, carrots)
- tomato products
- some vegetable oils
- eating foods that are fortified (have added vitamins) like cereal
How Much Vitamin A Do You Need?
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the recommended dietary allowances for vitamin A are:
- 0 to 6 months old: 400 micrograms (mcg)
- 7 to 12 months: 500 mcg
- 1 to 3 years: 300 mcg
- 4 to 8 years: 400 mcg
- 9 to 13 years: 600 mcg
- 14 to 18 years: 900 mcg for males, 700 mcg for females
- 14-18 years/pregnant females: 750 mcg
- 14 to 18 years/breastfeeding females: 1,200 mcg
- 19+ years: 900 for males, 700 for females
- 19+ years/pregnant females: 770 mcg
- 19+ years/breast-feeding females: 1,300 mcg
Taking more than the recommended daily allowance for several months can cause vitamin A toxicity. This condition can occur more quickly in infants and children, because their bodies are smaller.
Symptoms of Hypervitaminosis A
Symptoms vary based on whether toxicity is acute or chronic. Headaches and rash are common in both forms of the illness.
Symptoms of acute vitamin A toxicity include:
- drowsiness
- irritability
- abdominal pain
- nausea
- vomiting
- increased pressure on the brain
Symptoms of chronic vitamin A toxicity include:
- blurry vision or other visual changes
- swelling of the bones
- bone pain
- poor appetite
- dizziness
- nausea and vomiting
- sensitivity to sunlight
- dry, rough skin
- itchy or peeling skin
- cracked fingernails
- skin cracks at the corners of your mouth
- mouth ulcers
- yellowed skin (jaundice)
- hair loss
- respiratory infection
- confusion
In infants and children, symptoms may also include:
- softening of the skull bone
- bulging of the soft spot on the top of an infant's skull (fontanel)
- double vision
- bulging eyeballs
- inability to gain weight
- coma
Contact your doctor if you or your children are experiencing any of these symptoms.
Potential Complications
The correct amount of vitamin A is crucial for the development of a fetus. However, excess vitamin A consumption during pregnancy is known to cause birth defects that may affect the eyes, skull, lungs, and heart.
Other potential complications of excess vitamin A include:
- liver damage
- osteoporosis (a condition causing bones to become brittle, weak, and prone to breaks)
- excessive calcium buildup in the body
- kidney damage due to excess calcium
Diagnosing Hypervitaminosis A
Your doctor will start by asking you about your symptoms and medical history. They will also want to know about your diet and any supplements you're taking. Your doctor may order blood tests to check the levels of vitamin A in your blood as well.
How Hypervitaminosis A Is Treated
The most effective way to treat this condition is to stop taking high-dose vitamin A supplements. Most people make a full recovery within a few weeks. Any complications that occurred from the excess vitamin A, such as kidney or liver damage, will be treated independently.
Long-Term Outlook
Outlook depends on the severity of the vitamin A toxicity and how quickly it was treated. Most people make a full recovery once they stop taking vitamin A supplements. For those who develop complications, such as kidney or liver damage, outlook will depend on the severity of the damage.
Talk to your doctor before you begin taking any supplements, or if you're concerned that you aren't getting enough nutrients from your diet.

That's our new excuse for never leaving the house.

Marilyn Monroe's image has already been associated with 1,975 different products over the past 20 years. She posthumously signed 140 licensing deals last year alone. What this deal means is that Marilyn Monroe licensing will get even bigger: expect to see her pictures on more billboards and ads and more "Marilyn Monroe" branded clothing and accessories.

ISinglePhaseNotification Interface
Describes a resource object that supports single phase commit optimization to participate in a transaction.
Assembly: System.Transactions (in System.Transactions.dll)
Name | Description | |
Commit(Enlistment) | Notifies an enlisted object that a transaction is being committed.(Inherited from IEnlistmentNotification.) | |
InDoubt(Enlistment) | Notifies an enlisted object that the status of a transaction is in doubt.(Inherited from IEnlistmentNotification.) | |
Prepare(PreparingEnlistment) | Notifies an enlisted object that a transaction is being prepared for commitment.(Inherited from IEnlistmentNotification.) | |
Rollback(Enlistment) | Notifies an enlisted object that a transaction is being rolled back (aborted).(Inherited from IEnlistmentNotification.) | |
SinglePhaseCommit(SinglePhaseEnlistment) | Represents the resource manager's implementation of the callback for the single phase commit optimization. |
You should note that even when your resource manager implements this interface to support single phase commit optimization, it is not guaranteed that it receives a single phase commit. The transaction manager can still send two phase commit notifications instead.
To enlist your resource manager as a participant in a transaction, call the EnlistVolatile method or the EnlistDurable method of the Transaction class. Specifically, the EnlistmentOptions parameter should equal to None to ensure that a single phase commit is performed. If it is mistakenly set to EnlistDuringPrepareRequired, no single phase commit occurs.
Since the ISinglePhaseNotification interface derives from the IEnlistmentNotification interface, the resource manager must also implement all the methods of the latter for two phase commit notifications. It is the transaction manager's choice as to whether two phase commit or the single phase commit optimization is used with this resource manager. However, implementing this interface gives the resource manager the opportunity to take advantage of the optimization when it is available.
If the optimization is used and the transaction manager calls the SinglePhaseCommit method of the enlisted resource, the resource manager should respond to this call by using various methods of the SinglePhaseEnlistment class to inform the transaction manager if the transaction is to be committed or rolled back.
Available since 2.0

Written by Anthony Moujaes
The work for LGBT rights by leaders of the United Church of Christ continues in Providence, Rhode Island this weekend, where UCC General Minister and President the Rev. Geoffrey Black will join leaders from the Unitarian Universalist Association to speak about the importance of marriage equality in that state – the only state in New England that does not recognize same-sex marriages.
"I've been married for a long time and I experience my relationship with my spouse to be a gift and joy," Black said. "I am deeply grateful to God for the gift, which has been the source of much joy and deep meaning. I know many same-gendered couples who love each other deeply and I believe their love is a gift that brings them joy as well. Yet, they are denied the recognition of their relationship in the law of the land and public policy. In a society that embraces equal justice under the law, this inequality should not be. It is wrong and it is unacceptable."
Black and the Rev. Peter Morales, president of the Unitarian Universalists, will participate in an afternoon rally on April 7 at First Unitarian Church of Providence, to share a religious perspective in support of equal rights for marriage equality. The Rhode Island State Senate is now considering an amendment that would legalize marriage for same-sex couples after the House passed the bill by a 51-19 vote in late January.
"On the coffee table in my office, there is a wonderful book titled 'Love Makes a Family.' It's full of great photographs and family stories about gay and lesbian people and their families, children, moms, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles – all family," Black said. "Love just jumps out from the pages. Commitment is obvious in every photo. I believe marriage is about those two elements, love and commitment. In that regard, these marriages are like any other and should be treated as such in our laws and in our public policies."
Black's participation in Rhode Island comes a week after UCC leaders rallied in Washington, D.C., in support of hearings at the Supreme Court of the United States. After Black and Morales speak at the rally, they will appear at a news conference with other faith leaders in support of the issue.
Both the UCC and the UUA have worked alongside people of faith in Rhode Island to assure marriage equality for all persons. The Rev. Betsy Garland, a UCC minister and president of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches, ensured the UCC had a presence at the state house in late March as she testified in a committee in support of the legislation.
"I spent 12 hours at the state house last Thursday evening and Friday morning," she said. "[I] testified at midnight and finally left at 2:30 a.m. when more of my colleagues had done so."
The UCC's General Synod affirmed full marriage equality for all couples in 2005, and there are now more than 1,000 open and affirming churches registered with the UCC Coalition for LGBT Concerns. The UUA began celebrating the unions of same-sex couples in 1979 and formally affirmed this practice in 1984.
In addition to Rhode Island, Illinois is also considering marriage equality legislation. There are nine states, along with Washington, D.C., that permit same-sex marriages: Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, and Washington.

California Needs to Boost Hollywood Aid, Reports Says
Christopher PalmeriCalifornia needs to increase and retool its subsidies for the entertainment industry to stem the loss of jobs to other markets, especially New York, the Milken Institute said in a report today.
California lost 16,137 entertainment industry jobs between 2004 and 2012, a decline of 11 percent, while the state's main competitor, New York, added 10,675 positions, up almost 25 percent, according to the report.
"If California is to keep its entertainment employment base, California must create a distinctive incentive package that allows the entertainment industry to grow without engaging in a race to the bottom in a market saturated with subsidies," the authors said in the report.
The recommendations for California include increasing the tax credits from the current $100 million a year. The Milken Institute also calls for extending credits to films with budgets exceeding $75 million to keep "blockbusters" in state. It says the state should dedicate a portion to hour-long TV shows and miniseries, and include incentives for filming outside Los Angeles and for visual effects.
The report suggests establishing an application fee that would be used to increase the staff at the California Film Commission. The Santa Monica, California-based Milken Institute was founded in 1991 by junk bond pioneer Michael Milken.
Forty-three states subsidize entertainment production, typically through tax credits or rebates that totaled $1.5 billion in 2010, according to the report.

Review: Nokia C7 Astound
The Astound's 8-megapixel camera can be opened either from the dedicated button or main menu. It launches quickly. Once open, there are a number of on-screen controls. The bottom left offers access to a general Options menu. On the right side of the screen, Nokia has positioned quick access to the video camera, flash settings, and then the full settings tool.
Once your settings are all in place, taking shots is a breeze. The Astound shoots pictures quickly, getting you back to the camera faster. Each image is previewed after taken, and users can at that moment choose to edit it, view it, save it, or send it somewhere.
Nokia's camera software has always been capable.
AD article continues below...
The gallery application is a grid of thumbnails. The thumbnails are pretty small, and it's actually a bit tough to see enough detail to know what image you're looking at. Pressing any of them opens up the image on the screen.
Swiping left or right pages your through your image library. The editing tools are quite robust. Some of the options include rotating, resizing, cropping, as well as a number of effects, such as bubble text, clip art, stamps and so on. There's also fine tuning of exposure, white balance, contrast and so on available if that's your thing.
Once images appear as you want them to, the Astound allows for easy attachment to outgoing messages, and now Twitter and Facebook through the Social Networking application.
There is also a video clip editor for the camcorder app. The video editor offers just the basics, such as trimming clip length.

Retirement Vendor Review Project [1]
If you have questions, please contact email@example.com [2].
Review Committee to issue formal retirement vendor recommendation to CU leadership The Retirement Vendor Review Committee will issue a formal recommendation this month to university leadership based on proposals it received from retirement vendors this summer. The Committee has been reviewing, analyzing and discussing each response to CU's Request for Information since August. The group expects a final decision in November. Vendor proposals received Innovest has received proposals from vendors and will present an analysis to the Retirement Vendor Review Committee in October. Proposals solicited On behalf of the university, Innovest released a Request for Information (RFI) on July 8, 2014. Retirement vendors have until Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2014, to submit a proposal. The RFI contains over 150 questions on topics such as the firm's experience, technological capabilities, customer service and educational resources. This RFI will aid the Retirement Vendor Review Committee in selecting a vendor (or vendors) to serve in a recordkeeping capacity for the university's retirement plans; the investment fund selection is not part of the RFI and will be undertaken later this year. CU to review retirement plans The 401(a) plan, also known as the Optional Retirement Plan, is the mandatory retirement savings vehicle in which faculty and most university staff (formerly called officers and exempt professionals) participate. The university contributes 10 percent and the employee has 5 percent deducted from pay. The 403(b) Plan is an additional retirement savings choice that is available to all CU employees. Both offerings have not been extensively reviewed for adequacy of choice, plan performance, fees and plan fund sponsors in over two decades. Therefore, at the direction of E. Jill Pollock—vice president of Employee and Information Services—Employee Services is undertaking a study this year to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the plans' components. In addition to contracting with Innovest Portfolio Solutions, a national firm specializing in such work, Employee Services has assembled a project advisory team to assist with the review: As part of its role, the committee may request the current vendors for the CU retirement plans to submit formal proposals, to identify and ultimately retain a vendor or vendors with extensive experience in serving higher education to act as vendor(s)/recordkeeper(s) for CU's plans.Project Updates

It looks like the silo itself has been left open to the elements for some time now, which is why the living spaces are so small–they're only living in the command center.
I imagine the annoyances of living in a place with a zillion stairs out in the middle of nowhere would start to add up pretty quickly once the novelty of living in an old bunker wore off.
It's a real shame they don't have the hydraulics hooked up to open and close the shutters though, for all the air and natural light you get, the elements have really beaten the crap out of that place. Being able to close it when it rains or in the winter would probably help a lot.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
I just wanted to thank you for your great customer service. When I needed to contact you, I was a bit apprehensive, not having any previous experience with your company, but you completely took care of my situation in a cheerful, conscientious manner. Life can be very stressful when you have a loved one with a chronic condition that requires medical identification. It's so nice to know that there is a company out there that not only cares about making this fun and fashionable, but also durable. Your kindness is very much appreciated.

Customer Reviews
- Love the bracelet. Review by Sally
I love the look and the way it fits. The medical alert part stays on the inside of my wrist. (Posted on 7/5/16)Rated: - Exactly what I wanted! Review by Shezipen
It looks and feels amazing. The fir is perfect. The only problem I've had with it is, I can't hook the clasp myself. I still love it and definitely would recommend it! (Posted on 5/4/16)Rated: - Great for summer. Review by Michele
I love the look, however I ordered the band too big. Will probably return for smaller size. (Posted on 4/3/15)Rated: - Pretty braid Review by Shari C.
It's very attractive and seems to be strong. I like that it is subtle and now loud-looking like a heavy chain. (Posted on 9/9/14)Rated: - Durable and Attractive Review by Shari C.
I received the white leather bracelet and was very pleased at the construction. It is durable, attractive, comfortable, and water proof. At the time I ordered, it was only in one size. When I received it, I noticed that it was a bit too big for my wrist. Measure carefully before you order. (Posted on 8/30/14)Rated: - Love it Review by Michelle
Absolutely love this bracelet!!! (Posted on 4/30/14)Rated: - Love the white for the summer. Review by Camyeo
It's great! (Posted on 4/29/14)Rated: - just what I wanted Review by hmm
I wanted something for casual dress and this fits the bill. Haven't worn it much as am wearing the other that I bought that is water proof, but will probably wear this in the summer more. (Posted on 4/18/14)Rated: - Just what I wanted Review by Marion
Very pleased. It's just what I needed, not too bulky (Posted on 4/3/14)Rated: - Just what I wanted! Review by Karen
Bracelets usually make me hot but this one doesn't. I wear it daily due to numerous health conditions. I plan on buying different colored bands for my outfits but this one I can wear all summer. Comfortable and looks good. I liked the choice of colored medical alert insignias and size.. Other companies wanted to charge extra for the dark engraving but you did not and it looks great. Amazing you can get all of my medical abbreviations on the small size ID. (Posted on 3/31/14)Rated: - Love it Review by CCota
with a couple of my diseases I usually can't wear anything like this, this one doesn't bother my skin. love this company. (Posted on 2/16/14)Rated: - Perfect Review by Sandy
I usually hate braclets, but this one does not bother me. I forget I have it on. (Posted on 2/14/14)Rated: - Awesome Review by jr
This is nicer than it looks in the picture! (Posted on 9/30/13)Rated: - Very nice Review by Tom
Great look (Posted on 8/5/13)Rated: - Love it. Review by Jeanne
I've gotten many compliments. (Posted on 12/18/12)Rated: - Great Review by Jodi
Perfect for my 16 year old. Not big and bulky and she can change out colors as she likes. (Posted on 8/4/12)Rated: - Very comfortable Review by Diana
I needed something to wear daily. The white braided leather fits my needs perfectly and the small size is great, no slipping off. (Posted on 4/10/12)Rated: - Great! Review by Lynn Pepper
Very comfortable! Great product! (Posted on 10/14/11)Rated: - Very Nice Review by Mimi
I gave this to my nine year old granddaughter for the new school year. She just loved it because the colors match her uniform. (Posted on 9/6/11)Rated: - fits perfectly and is very lightweight Review by Shila
Fits perfectly around my small wrist. Like the color assortment of medical ert signia. Picked blue which is my favorite color. The braided leather bracelt does not catch on anything. Great for everyday use. (Posted on 7/12/11)Rated:

I recall hearing it but don't see it in the playlist, so for the record, I'm pretty certain that Pseu played "Spindizzy" by The Orange Humble Band. | |
Sat. 12/17/11 10:29am
@gyozaking: Soon after the big comments list blowup and shutdown in the early part of the 10PM hour, the playlist updating ceased. Maybe that will be rectified sometime... | |

Pros: Incredibly expansive soundstage, light, great case.
Cons: Very plastic, rubbery microphonic cable, needs burn-in, average build quality.
Wasn't impressed by the packaging or the build quality, though it was cheap, I still expect Sennheiser to have some kind of standard. A lot more went into the nice fake leather case which fits many but the biggest of iPods very nicely.
The volume control is quite fluid in motion and won't move easily on accident, but both it and the Y-split are very cheap and plastic looking/feeling. Especially the clear plastic over the CX280 label.
But the reliefs on each earpiece is sturdy with a slight give and the gold-plated right-angle 3.5mm plug has survived many a knock and many a sit on.
The cable is a bit tangly, being rubberised, friction is quite high and the cable is microphonic at a decent touch.
Earpieces come in the standard single flanged three sizes.
Sound, though, is extremely suprising. The soundstage is amazingly broad and deep, something expected of maybe a 200ish dollar headphone/IEM. Quite V shaped in it's EQ, but they still sound better than $150 Shures.
Mid-bass is not boomy, (even a little lacking sometimes), but listening to John Mayer's: Where The Light Is, Steve Jordan's kit sounds amazing. The snare is tight and cracking, the kick is powerful and punchy and never bloated, the ride and the crash send tingles up my spine, Palladino's bass really drives the mix and Mayer's voice could be right there, live in front of you if you closed your eyes. It does get quite harsh if you really push the volume, but I love listening to classical and falling asleep with these on because it's so light, clear and airy that it doesn't seem like anything's actually inside my head and I don't have to worry about breaking them because they're so cheap!
These are really ideal if you listen to live recordings and want to experience to moment again.
Not so much pop/hip-hop, but you'll be amazed at the sound of Mtislav Rostropovich's Bach Cello Suite through these.
Sennheiser has really put a budget competitor out there to beat.
Burn-in takes a good 24-hours. Well worth the wait and the insanity freq sweeps bring.

Did you know that color symbolism plays a big role in everything from religion to culture? Have you stopped to think about the colors in your photos and how they might (or might not) mesh with the subjects you're photographing?
Let's look at some primary colors and talk about the mood they help to convey.
Red is a stimulating, engaging color. It denotes action, passion, romance, energy, heat and power.
Blue has the opposite effect of red in many cases. It's calming, quiet, peaceful and cool.
Yellow is the brightest color of all. It's very uplifting and cheerful. In some cultures it conveys wisdom. It's radiant.
Green symbolizes renewal and has some of the qualities of yellow in that it is uplifting. It signifies a new beginning.
How can you use this information? Be mindful of the mood that you're trying to set. If you want to shoot a lake on an overcast day, during the cold winter, be careful about interjecting something red or yellow into the scene since those are in conflict with the calm mood. Get the idea? Feel free to share other examples in the comments section.

Pirate Bay co-founder demands new police probe
Claims too many ties to opponents
Posted in Policy, 12th May 2009 14:46 GMT
One of the Pirate Bay's co-founders is calling on Swedish police to conduct a new investigation into the notorious BitTorrent site's operations.
Peter Sunde - aka BrokeP - said in a blog post yesterday that himself, and the three other Pirate Bay men who were convicted of being accessories to breaching copyright laws last month, could demand "a completely new police investigation".
"Too many people have ties to our opponents and have been proven to be on the payroll or promised to become employed in the future," wrote Sunde.
"We want everything to be in the eye of the public so that we can get help to see that everything is correct."
Defence lawyers acting for The Pirate Bay co-founders have already filed official appeals against the copyright infringement convictions that were dished out to the men in April.
Just days after the men were fined and sentenced, a Swedish radio station revealed that the judge presiding over the case, Thomas Norström, was a member of the same pro-copyright groups as several of the main entertainment industry reps in the case.
Sunde and co immediately demanded a retrial. ®

First of all, I want to congratulate Michael Hastings for the amazing job he did on the McChrystal piece. Not only was it a coup for our magazine, but it's a reminder of what journalists are supposed to be doing. For quite a long time political journalism, particularly in Washington, has been reduced to an access-trading game, where reporters are rewarded for favorable coverage of those in the know with more time and availability.
This symbiotic dynamic affects not just individual reporters but whole publications and news channels; it's a huge reason why reporters have in general resisted challenging political authorities. Nobody wants to be the guy who gets not only himself but his whole paper shut out of the access game. Since many recent politicians have made good on this implied threat (George Bush's shut-out of the Washington Post's White House reporters is a classic example), what we get is coverage that across the board fails to ask hard questions and in general treats leaders with a reverence they don't always deserve.
Or we get the other thing: partisan coverage in which the right-wing guys hammer the Democrats and the lefties hammer the Bushes and the Cheneys. That's a sort of Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact approach to the access question. You agree to forswear attacks on your own team, then you can get all the access you want from the guys in your locker room. A lot of outlets make this choice and that's why we get the impression that news coverage is negative, because there is in fact a lot of screaming and finger-pointing on the airwaves — but mostly that's partisan entertainment, not a healthy free press challenging authority.
The media business is so used to associating the whole idea of challenging or negative reporting with partisanship that even the coverage of our role in the McChrystal thing is being pitched to audiences as a kind of extreme version of the usual crap — that what Rolling Stone is doing is "attacking Obama from the left." It's almost like it's not considered possible anymore for tough reporting to exist without some kind of partisan angle, which is sad, because just a generation ago an almost completely apolitical iconoclasm was the expected ideological orientation of the investigative journalist.
A third thing we get these days is outright prostitution, and unfortunately I can't even tell all the stories I've heard about the kinds of things that go on in our business. I will say that in the world of business journalism in particular there are prominent news organizations that will openly promise favorable coverage in exchange for access to major business figures. This behavior is common enough that it's not at all a surprise that the major business networks missed the signs leading to the financial crash; they were too busy lobbing softballs to bank CEOs as part of pre-arranged interview deals.
I'm not trying to be too obvious in jerking off Rolling Stone here, but I do think we'd all be better off if news organizations stopped choosing teams and worrying about access and started doing what Hastings did, which is risk the shut-out. It's hard to write something that you know is going to put you straight into Siberia with your sources five minutes after the piece comes out. I certainly don't do it very often. Most reporters don't. But if we all did this more often, what we'd find in the end is that politicians would come calling and offering access anyway. In the end, they really do need us as much as we need them. The more the press learns that it has power of its own, over and above what politicians and business leaders feed them, the better off we'll all be.

Linear Technology Precision Rail-to-Rail Op Amps - Linear Technology LT1672IS8#PBF, The Linear Technology LT1672/LT1673/LT1674 are ultra-low power (I S =5) op amps with precision specifications. The extremely low supply current is combineed with excellent amplifier specifications: input offset voltage is 375V maximum with atypicaal drift of only 0.4V/C, input offset current is 100pA maximum. A minimum open-loop gain (A VOL) of 100V/mV ensures that gain errors are small. The devices characteristics change little over the supply range of 2.2V to 15V. Supply rejection is 90dB and the common mode rejection ratio is 90dB. Operation is specified for 3V, 5V and 15V supplies. Reverse battery protection (-18V min) and inputs that operate above the positive supply make the LT1672/LT1673/LT1674 easy to use in harsh environments. The low bias currents and offset current of the amplifier permit the use of megohm level source resistors without introducing significant errors. Voltage noise at 4V P-P is remarkably low considering the low supply current. For unity gain stable versions of these amplifiers, see the LT1494/LT1495/LT1496. The LT1672 is available in the 8-pin MSOP, PDIP and SO packages. The LT1673 is available in plastic 8-pin PDIP and SO-8 packages with the standard dual op amp pinout. The LT1674 is available in 14-pin PDIP and SO packages. Linear LT1672IS8#PBF 2uA Over-The-Top Precision Rail-to-Rail I/O Op Amp SOIC-8

BRUNSWICK (AP) -- A coroner in northeast Ohio says a man who held a 30-hour standoff with authorities died after being shot by police.
Police in Brunswick say the standoff that began Friday afternoon ended Saturday night.
The coroner in Medina County told several media outlets that the 39-year-old man was shot several times.
Police say his former girlfriend also was injured, but did not say how that happened.
Brunswick police say they got a call from the man's brother who told them the 39-year-old was going to a home to hurt his ex-girlfriend.
Police and SWAT members surrounded the house and evacuated neighbors after finding the front door barricaded.

Woolworths sells food, clothing and homeware as well as an increasing number of digital products. Woolworths Financial Services (in a joint venture with Absa bank) also offers financial services in the form of storecards, the Woolworths Visa card and loans. Stores are located throughout the country and these vary in the combination of products that they sell. Some offer only food, others a combination of food and homeware and others – our 'full-line' stores – contain Woolworths total range.
What Woolworths offersOur clothing ranges cover women's, men's and children's wear, accessories, footwear and beauty products. All apparel is sold under Woolworths own brand name.
Improving the rangesNew initiatives to revitalise and grow the clothing business have been launched across all our ranges. The aim has been to gain a better idea of the kinds of products that appeal to customers' tastes and to offer those more consistently. Linking design with technology has helped to deliver greater product innovation and newness whilst still providing a quality product. A more strategic approach to buying has also meant even better value for customers. The business is already beginning to see the positive effects of these strategies.
SourcingWe continue to support our South African supplier base and to work with them, as well as government and other retailers, to help develop a more competitive and sustainable local clothing and textile industry. Woolworths has a responsibility to deliver the best possible value to its customers and, where it is not possible to achieve this locally, we do buy internationally. Woolworths has also reduced the number of suppliers used on a regular basis – this means larger volumes and improved value for our customers.
Click here for a more detailed overview of Woolworths present ranges.
QualityWoolworths continues to focus on offering customers consistently high quality, delicious food, at the best possible value.
ConvenienceWoolworths has extended its ranges and increased the number of branded products available allowing customers to complete their shop at their local Woolworths rather than having to find certain products elsewhere. Linked to this is our very active store roll-out programme, with many new stores being opened in locations specifically chosen for easy access – for instance on major commuting routes. The number of Engen Food Stops is also being increased so that customers need only interrupt their journey once to get both food and petrol.
InnovationWoolworths is constantly assessing its food ranges and developing new ones, using delicious, simple, healthy ingredients. Themes include traditional, authentic, handmade or homemade and steam cuisine. We also look for ways of improving existing ranges, making them more nutritious, tastier and with a wider array of choices. A recent example of this was Woolworths improved ice cream range. We are very aware of convenience in cooking and strive to provide our customers with an increasing variety of ready-made meals that are both nutritious and easy to prepare.
Woolworths good food journey and sustainabilityAt the heart of Woolworths food business is the 'good food journey'. It provides customers with food that is safe and nutritious and has a particular emphasis on organic food. It also keeps people as well informed as possible about the food they are eating and how it impacts on health. Alongside this, the good food journey also focuses on sustainability. Every part of Woolworths food production process – from supply to distribution to waste – is constantly monitored in order to make sure that there is as little impact on the surrounding environment and society as possible.
Woolworths now offers a full range of home accessories and soft furnishings. This includes kitchen and bathroomware, crockery and vases, sheeting, curtaining and, in a limited number of stores, furniture (see below). Our ranges are designed to co-ordinate and complement one another to provide a stylish and contemporary look that is still affordable. Recently, Woolworths has focused on broadening the range and improving quality of its homeware whilst keeping prices down through more strategic buying policies.
Click here to find out more about our homeware ranges.
Woolworths financial services
CardsWoolworths has three cards that offer a variety of benefits. All our cards now incorporate the MySchool programme.
The Woolworths card – This is Woolworths own store card which allows customers to spread payment for their purchases over a series of monthly instalments. This card accounts for about a third of all Woolworths retail sales.
The Woolworths Visa card – An increasing number of customers are adopting the Woolworths Visa card as their preferred form of credit. It allows customers to earn 'W points' which can then be converted into vouchers and spent in stores. It also allows access to the full range of Visa benefits and competitions.
The Woolworths Difference card – This is a 'cash' card which forms part of the World of Difference loyalty programme. It is for customers who don't want a financial services product but who do want to contribute to the MySchool programme and to be eligible for competitions, special events and promotions.
Woolworths financial services offers two kinds of personal loans.
The revolving loan is revolving credit. As long as payments are up to date, the loan can be used over and over again.
The fixed term loan has fixed payment amounts and a finite repayment period. The loan can only be drawn on once although it is possible to apply for a further loan once the first is paid off.
When applying for a Woolworths loan, the customer is carefully assessed and allocated the kind of loan best suited to their circumstances.
Woolworths car and home insurance. This provides a range of extra benefits and can be applied for online or via our call centre. A percentage of the monthly insurance premium is donated to the MySchool programme.

MORE people are abandoning land lines and relying only on cellular telephones. But there's a hidden drawback: Cell phone users could find themselves without service when electrical power goes down. It's happened before, and, nature being what it is, it will happen again. Cellular telephone providers need to work faster to develop backup plans that last longer than a few hours so that service is uninterrupted during emergencies.
The latest example happened May 6 when a tornado virtually destroyed Greensburg, Kan. Residents in that region suffered the same ordeal in January during an ice storm and power lines were down for days. Cell phones also were worthless during the power blackout of August, 2003. Certainly, families increasingly rely on cell phones to check on one another, but emergency personnel rely on the phones too. And because a growing number of people don't have land lines anymore, pay phones are nearly as rare as pterodactyls.
During the disasters in Kansas, some emergency personnel carried three or four phones, each from a different provider. When one phone stopped working, they tried another.
Cell phone providers have generators that close gaps in service during brief power outages. But they don't last very long, and long-term service is precisely what is needed during disasters. One company, Sprint Nextel, last year poured $27 million into expanding its emergency response team to aid emergency workers with relief efforts. Its competitors should follow suit, and the Federal Communications Commission should provide incentives.
Cell phone companies suggest customers send text messages during emergencies, since text messaging uses less power. That may be fine for young people and the technologically astute. But it doesn't work for the elderly or those with poor eyesight or limited dexterity. Plus, most people caught up in a disaster want to talk to somebody, and they should be able to do so.
Cell phone providers should be pushed to work harder to make sure that wireless lines of communication are always open.

Just an hour north of the Boulder/Denver area, Fort Collins, Colo., is bounded by grasslands and Rocky Mountain National Park. A college town (Colorado State University is located here), it's an intellectually and physically active mix of students, academics, hikers, mountain bikers, and nature lovers. As a maturing city, Fort Collins aims to keep its downtown core vital while managing against sprawl from new suburban development. Successfully balancing those challenges requires solid growth management and a clear vision from the city planning team. "An effective city planner needs to be a gatekeeper, negotiator, and advocate for community values that have been identified by the appointed and elected bodies," says local architect Paul Trementozzi, principal of OZ Architecture.
Fort Collins planning director Joe Frank is all of the above. On the job for 28 years, he came to town from Illinois, where he worked with the City of Naperville and, prior to that, studied at the University of Illinois and Southern Illinois University. Of the department he leads in his adopted hometown, Frank says that in recent years, "we have reinvented ourselves" in order to navigate population growth and the need for more developable land.
"Our previous focus had mostly been on growth management and neighborhoods, and we have a solid foundation of planning and implementation as a result," Frank explains. "Now, we have adjusted our focus on areas of existing and future economic growth--downtown, underutilized shopping centers and strips, and greenfield opportunities." That means doing more-detailed predevelopment plans, creating incentives and tax-increment financing, and working with property owners and business people.
Frank's strategy seems to be working. Last year, Money magazine voted Fort Collins the best place to live in the United States, and the year before, Outside magazine counted the 128,000-resident town among the country's New American Dream Towns. In 2006, Frank was elected a fellow by the American Institute of Certified Planners.
Frank eschews too much praise, boiling his success down to a mantra: "Stay cool. Stay current. Stay flexible."

On Thursday, Feb. 7, after a show-runner shake-up that ended with the departure of series creator Dan Harmon, the long-awaited fourth season of NBC's unconventional comedy "Community" makes its debut.
Set at less-than-stellar Greendale Community College — led by the flamboyant Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) — it focuses on an eclectic yet supportive study group, led by disbarred lawyer Jeff Winger (Joel McHale).
"We hit the ground running," Rash — wearing an abnormally subdued shirt and tie — tells Zap2it during a break on set at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, "with a pretty insane 'Hunger Games' sort of catastrophe at Greendale, keeping in stride with the fact that bad ideas happen all the time."
Also on tap for the future is a Thanksgiving-themed episode, in which Winger meets his estranged father.
"James Brolin?" says Rash of the casting. "It's perfect as far as the prototype for what would look like Jeff's dad."
As for what the frequently cross-dressing Dean is up to, Rash says, "He's a very confused man. But at least his goal is to make this place run as efficiently as possible and be as close to a real university — in his mind. He doesn't accomplish that a lot, but he tries.
"At this point, he's dealing with the fact that his favorite study group are seniors, and with the idea that Jeff would be parting from the school."
Over the course of the show, it's been pretty obvious that the dean is very fond of Winger.
"We touch upon that in the premiere," says Rash, referring to a tango the dean does with Jeff, which requires several flirty costume changes for Rash.
"I think," he says, "I've exposed more body than I ever have on this show. But I don't think I've ever done as fun and crazy a character as this. No."

They have been playing that for years. I saw them play it as an encore in 1979 or so. Though it may have been another Zep tune. Memory is quite hazy from those days.
At the recent Kennedy Center Honors event that celebrated Led Zeppelin among other artists, Heart (with Jason Bonham on drums) performed a magnificent cover of "Stairway to Heaven." Yeah, you read that right. Make sure you stick around for "And as we wind on down the road…" (Thanks, Patrick Kelly!)
