NEW YORK (AP) — Stock futures are mixed with U.S. companies posting varying quarterly results.
Dow Jones industrial futures are down 18 points to 13,558. The broader S&P futures have added 1.6 points to 1,477.30. Nasdaq futures are up a point to 2,734.75.
Verizon posted a wider loss for the fourth quarter Tuesday, and DuPont said weakness in electronics and communications and chemical sales. DuPont's profit dropped 70 percent, though it still beat Wall Street expectations.
So did Delta Airlines, even after taking a $75 million hit to revenue from Superstorm Sandy.
Johnson & Johnson beat most expectations for the final quarter of the year, but shares slipped before the opening bell due to a weak forecast for this year.

You are a project manager if you have to manage a team to achieve a project's objectives. Almost every business organisation has one project or the other at hand, and they are always pursuing to achieve something definite within a particular time-frame; they may assign the project-goal to the sales department, finance department, marketing department, research and development unit, or any relevant department within the organisation and it is the duty of the department's head to put together members of the proposed project and assign a team leader or project manager over them. The team leader reports back to the project manager and he reports to the department head who in turn reports back to the management.
[ad name="GoogleSidebar Ad"]
The roles of a team leader or project manager in managing a team to achieve a common goal and purpose are not a mere role, and it calls for great expertise and experience at both managing a people and achieving a set goal. As a project manager or team leader, you must possess some skills and qualities to enable you perform your duties well, and some of these are –
– Have a clear understand of project goals: You are chosen as the project manager or team leader because you definitely or ought to understand the project at hand better. Know the project in and out and understand what the goals and objectives are so that you can devise strategies and allocate resources or assign team members accordingly. You must see more than what others see, and be able to control events and situations as they spiral toward executing the project needs and realising its goals.
– Define clear roles and responsibilities: You must be able to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of each member of your team. Ensure each member knows his roles and responsibilities as far as the project is concerned, and you must also be able to clarify issues as they relate individual responsibilities towards resolving the project's goals.
– Negotiation and conflict resolution skills: You must possess great negotiation skills and be able to work things around for the team members. You must also be able to resolve internal conflicts so that the team can work with a singleness of purpose. Conflicts are bound to occur where many qualified people work on the same project, but as the team leader or project manager you must be up to the occasion to resolve tensions and bring things to order.
– Provide integrated functions: As the project manager or team leader, it is your main responsibilities to identify the skills that each stage of the project would require; assign qualified project staff or train any if necessary; keep team members informed of project development and warranted changes; motivate the team members and keep their morale high enough to accomplish what the team is set out to achieve.

Help needed for widow after spouse killed
A homeless man, who has been living in his car, and a teenage boy, who has been abused and neglected, are among the area needy seeking your help this week through the annual Giving Fund.
There is also a mother of three, who is struggling to make ends meet after her husband was killed this year. The woman, who also has custody of her niece and nephew, has been working hard to maintain a normal household for her family despite significant emotional and financial challenges.
They are all requesting gifts of $500 that will help them meet a variety of needs.
Others are seeking money to pay bills or buy warm winter clothing. Some, like the elderly couple whose medical conditions make it hard for them to climb the stairs to the second floor in their apartment, are asking for help to buy a specific item. In this case, the couple is seeking a gift of $400 to help them purchase an electric stair lift.
Each week, the Post publishes 10 cases in its Thursday edition, along with a coupon for those who want to make a donation. Donations can also be made online at: www.unitedwaycfc.org/givingfund.
Donors can give to a specific case by referencing the number attached to it, or make a general contribution. All donations will go directly to those seeking help.
The case stories are provided by two local services agencies: FSW of Bridgeport and the Family & Children's Agency (FCA) of Norwalk. The United Way of Coastal Fairfield County helps to coordinate the effort.
No. 21: Sue and Chris, clients of FCA, are an elderly couple living in Norwalk. The couple has lived in the same apartment for more than 30 years. Their medical conditions have significantly deteriorated in the last year and they are both in a weakened state. Presently, they are having a difficult time getting up and down the stairs safely. Unfortunately, the couple's bedroom and only bathroom are on the second floor of their apartment, which is part of public housing. The couple is on the waiting list for a one-level apartment, but it could take several years before they get a new apartment. To help the couple immediately, an electric stair lift would enable them to easily get up and down the stairs safely. A gift of $400 will go directly to the purchase of an electric stair lift.
No. 22: Abigail, a client of FCA, is a single mom who lives in Norwalk with her five children in a two-bedroom apartment. Abigail works part-time as a crossing guard and has been applying for full-time jobs with no success. She struggles with paying her utility bills and buying groceries and clothing for her children. She fears they will not have appropriate coats for the winter, or be able to open any holiday gifts. Her current financial situation is extremely stressful. And yet, she remains optimistic because she is a strong woman who has persevered through many obstacles in her life. A gift of $500 will allow her to put money toward her bills and to buy some winter clothing for her children.
No. 23: John is a client of FCA's Homeless Services Program. He left his job to take care of his father, who was ill at the time. When John's father passed away, the family house was sold by the bank. Now, John is living in his car. He has medical issues and limited health insurance. John's car recently had severe mechanical damage, and he can't afford to repair it. A gift of $500 will allow John to repair his car, so he can get around town easier to find a job and receive medical treatment.
No. 24: Tom, a client of FCA, is a 15-year-old boy who has been abused and neglected. He's lived almost half of his life in residential homes and hospitals because of the trauma he suffered as a young child. He lives with his foster mother and her two children. His foster family is committed to providing Tom with long-term care and has helped him learn to trust people again. Throughout these challenges, Tom has remained an excellent student who has made a wonderful adjustment to the community. His goals include academic success and college. A gift of $500 will help him buy a computer and continue pursuing his educational goals.
No. 25: Amelia, a client of FCA, is a 37-year-old mother of three children. Although she has tried tirelessly to find a full-time job, she is still unemployed and struggling to meet her family's financial needs, including buying food and clothing for her children. Amelia is behind on her electricity bill of $905 and has been issued a "turn-off" notice. A gift of $500 will help Amelia and her family keep the electricity on and stay warm this winter.
No. 26: Susan is a client of FSW and the single mother of a 5-year-old daughter. To make ends meet -- and to save money for a security deposit -- Susan has worked three part-time jobs simultaneously. She also attends school part-time to earn a degree in nursing. As a result of her hard work, Susan recently moved into her own apartment. Unfortunately, the second-hand furniture she had collected over time and stored in a friend's basement was destroyed by flooding from Hurricane Sandy. Now, Susan needs help replacing her furniture. She feels blessed to finally have an apartment, but a gift of $500 would help her buy beds and other furniture to replace what she lost after the storm.
No. 27: Mariann is a client of FSW with two young sons, ages 1 and 5. She also suffers from a terminal illness, depression and anxiety. Mariann attends regular counseling sessions to build her coping skills and to manage her stress. Despite her continuing challenges, Mariann is committed to taking good care of her children. However, she is struggling to meet their basic needs. She loves to read to her boys, but she can't afford to buy them books or toys for Christmas. Mariann would be grateful for a gift card of $250 to help her buy some warm winter clothing for her family and some books and toys for Christmas.
No. 28: FSW client Latoya is a 29-year-old single mother of three young children and a survivor of trauma. She struggles with diabetes and extreme, chronic pain because of neuropathy in both legs. Despite her health challenges, Latoya strives to be a positive, supportive parent. The family has little income because Latoya is unable to work consistently in light of her medical issues. A gift of $400 will allow Latoya to buy winter clothes for her children and to cover increased utility bills during the winter.
No. 29: FSW client Ryasha is a single mother of three children, ages 16, 14, and 11. She also has custody of her niece and nephew. This year has been especially tragic for the family because Ryasha's husband was killed in a home invasion. Since then, Ryasha has worked hard to maintain a normal household for her family, but it's been very hard, both emotionally and financially. Although she has been working extra hours, she is still struggling to make ends meet. Ryasha's family needs a Christmas miracle. Winter is fast approaching and she does not have money to buy warm clothing for her growing children. A gift of $500 would help Ryasha and her family in their time of need.
No. 30: Maria, age 51, has battled a serious psychiatric disorder for most of her life. She spent most of her 20s and 30s in long-term inpatient care and had multiple suicide attempts. Because of her serious illness, it was thought Maria would never to be able to live independently. However, after 10 years of hard work in FSW's Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program, Maria was able to move into her first apartment during the summer. Maria's disability income barely covers food and daily living expenses. Maria is hoping to receive $450 to help cover medication and groceries, and hopefully, buy a badly needed winter coat and boots.

Woman gets prison in death of young girl
Woman gets prison in death of young girl
A Lincoln woman has been given four to five years in prison in connection with the death of a 12-year-old girl.
Twenty-four-year-old Ashley Jackson was sentenced Wednesday for the March 2012 overdose death of the girl, who was brought to Jackson's home to babysit her infant twins.
Prosecutors say Jackson smoked methamphetamine and gave the girl and other people present alcohol and drugs. Police say Jackson left, and the girl was sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old man. She then died of a prescription drug overdose.
Jackson pleaded no contest to child abuse resulting in death in December. She was arrested in March on a warrant after she failed to show up for sentencing.

Circular saw blades installation
A set of saw blades from an early Queensland mill serve as a reminder of a time when timber from rainforests, now with world heritage status, was a cheap and common building material. The blades weigh about 20 kilograms each and even a century on, they remain sharp, which proved a challenge during their installation in the Landmarks gallery.
The blades are from a mill at Yungaburra on the Atherton Tablelands, near Cairns. The timber industry moved to the vast stands of rainforest in north Queensland after Brisbane's population boomed in the 1880s and the forests on Australia's south-eastern coast had been worked out. The blades are on show with a display about Queenslander homes, which were typically made from cheap and easily transportable material, such as cedar.
The Yungaburra mill was constructed by Oswald and Neville Williamson in 1910 and the business was later bought by the Rankine family. The saw blades were powered by a steam engine and used to cut timber into manageable sizes, ready for drying. They were installed in Landmarks alongside a heavy set of hooks and chains, originally used to help move trees into the timber yard.
The north Queensland timber industry continued for almost a century, until the mills began to close when the rainforests were granted world heritage status in 1988.

Research support for this article was provided by the Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute.
This article is the first part of a two-part series. The next installment will explore alternative approaches to addressing the problem of trafficking for the purposes of forced prostitution. –The Editors
Gary Haugen is cradling the padlocks in his thick hands. A former high school football player–bristly crew cut, broad shoulders squeezed into a dress shirt–Haugen has more the mien of a military man than a lawyer, although his image is in keeping with the muscular work of the organization he founded and heads. The president of the International Justice Mission, an evangelical Christian organization devoted to combating human rights abuses in the developing world, Haugen is musing over the mementos of IJM's work in India and Cambodia. The padlocks look ordinary enough: heavy brass, a squat square one, a round one with a key. But they had once hung on the doors of brothels, until local law enforcement busted the establishments in raids initiated by IJM.
"Have you been to Tuol Sleng?" Haugen asks, looking down at the padlocks. He is speaking of the central Khmer Rouge detention center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, now a museum filled with photographs of the thousands who perished at the prison. "There it is–you see a factory where people got up every day and then went to work, and their job was to torture people as painfully and horribly as possible to extract a confession from them and then kill them.
"A lock on a brothel, for me, represents this element of violence and force," says Haugen. "The lock is on the outside of the door, not inside."
For Haugen, the locks are reminders of his calling: to break the chain of human rights abuses, one person at a time. He argues that the main problem facing the disenfranchised is not one of hunger, homelessness, lack of education or disease. Rather, the root cause of much of the suffering in the developing world is the failure of the criminal justice system to protect the poor from violence–the brutality that robs them of food, home, liberty and dignity.
In an effort to counter those failures, IJM marshals more than 300 Christian lawyers, law enforcement specialists and social workers who collaborate with local counterparts and police to provide services to victims of slave labor, sexual abuse, police brutality, illegal detention and land seizure. In the case of its best-known and most controversial work–brothel raids–IJM provides evidence of trafficking to police in countries including India, Cambodia, the Philippines and, in the past, Thailand; and it collaborates on "interventions" to remove victims from the establishments and arrest and prosecute their abusers. Although the raids have undoubtedly saved a number of trafficking victims from exploitation, human rights advocates have criticized the interventions for disrupting HIV-outreach efforts, heightening the potential for police brutality and subjecting adult sex workers and trafficking victims to possible deportation or long involuntary stays in shelters.

News Release
Demystifying indoor grow lights
This article was originally published on November 26, 2012 and expired on January 15, 2014. It is provided here for archival purposes and may contain dated information.
URBANA -- Using artificial lighting to grow or start plants indoors may seem like a complicated task, said a University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator, but you can succeed if you understand just a few simple concepts.
"The first thing to consider is which type of bulb to use," said Candice Miller. The light that plants use includes wavelengths that humans can see (visible light) and some of the wavelengths that humans can't see, such as microwaves and infrared light. Plants can capture the wavelengths in the blue and red parts of the spectrum between 400 to 700 nanometers to use during photosynthesis.
"The two main types of bulbs available for purchase are incandescent and fluorescent. Incandescents are not particularly good because, while they serve as a good source of red rays, they a poor source of blue, produce too much heat for most plants, and are about one-third as efficient as fluorescent bulbs," Miller said.
She said that fluorescent bulbs are the better choice if only one type of bulb will be used. Cool white fluorescent bulbs are more efficient and supply a small amount of red rays in addition to orange, yellow-green and blue rays but still do not provide quite enough light for optimum plant growth. Fluorescents made especially for growing plants can also be purchased but are usually more expensive. These have a higher output in the red range to balance the blue output.
"To lower the cost and still have optimal growth, a home gardener may consider using a combination of specialty grow lights and cool white fluorescent bulbs," said Miller. "Use one special plant-growing tube to each one or two cool white tubes."
Some fluorescent bulbs are labeled with "T" numbers. These refer to the diameter, in eighths of an inch, of tubes. "So a T8 tube is 8 eighths, or 1 inch, in diameter. Older tubes are T12, with most new bulbs T8 or even T5. These newer bulbs tend to be much more energy efficient and even with lower wattage can produce more light due to new technology and materials in their production," Miller said.
The quantity of light and placement of the light source are also important factors to consider. Fluorescent tubes give off little heat, so they can be placed as close as 2 to 6 inches above seedlings or plants. Incandescent and similar bulbs give off more heat, so they need to be kept a foot or more above plants. Most stands that hold the fixtures are adjustable to allow the light to be moved up and down.
The quantity and duration of light needed will vary from plant to plant. Light for growing is commonly measured in foot-candles. Low-light plants such as Chinese evergreen and peace lily need between 50 and 250 foot-candles. Medium-light plants such as African violets, begonias, dracaena, dumb cane, flame violet, and seedlings need 250 to 1,000. High-light plants such as most herbs and orchids need over 1,000 foot-candles.
"Light quantity and light duration are related, so you can often compensate for a lower level of light with a longer duration," Miller explained. "For medium- to high-light plants, 16 to 18 hours of light at day is recommended. For low- to medium-light plants, 12 to 14 hours of light could be used."
"Whichever lights you choose to use, be sure not to keep them on continuously, as plants need periods of darkness. A simple timer can be used to turn lights on and off."

Artists: Mel Judkins
What year did you start tattooing? I started tattooing in January 2000.
How did you get into tattooing? I was a college student who moved into a military town and working in the local mall or the strip club didn't appeal to me so I went looking for employment that would inspire me artistically. I called two shops, the first didn't take my inquiry seriously. It was clear he was only interested in seeing my "assets" in person. Then I called Steve Mishoe at Skin Art and he invited me by the shop. He took a chance on me and I can only hope he's proud that I am still thriving in the industry.
Where did you apprentice? Skin Art in Jacksonville, NC, which is owned by Steve Mishoe. My co-workers and partners-in-crime were John Fuller (RIP), Mike Knox, and James Bukauskas. My first tattoo brothers helped me build a thick skin in the industry. Little did I know what a man's world I was stepping into.
What conventions have you worked at? Have you won any awards? I have worked at lots of conventions but never enough of them. Some convention cities I've done are Tampa, Orlando, Jackson, Colorado Springs, Greensboro, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Boise, Columbus, Omaha, Kansas City and yes, I have some trophies to match.
How do you describe your style? I like tattoos that will stand the test of time so I am drawn to a more graphic look. Bold outlines, big color, high bangs. What can I say? I grew up in the 80's.
What inspires you as an artists? 1. The classics: Love, death and beauty – which ever comes first because they are all related. 2. Other artists who blow my mind. 3. The unfortunate.
What other mediums do you work in? I've dabbled in painting, illustration, watercolor, photography, graphic design, but I have a new interest in mixed media and jewlery making. My goal is to bring crafting into the tattoo spotlight. I adore those girls that are doing tattoo inspired hand embroidery. God bless Etsy.com.
What tattoo artist's do you admire most? Any artist that is willing to share knowledge. It's refreshing to meet other artists that still have some class. Modesty is a rare and admirable quality in this industry.
What kind of tattoos do you look forward to doing? I look forward to doing something without limits. There are clients few and far between that are cool enough to not stick their fingers into your batter when your baking.
Is there anyone that you would like to tattoo? There's always a guy in the crowd who makes fun of girls with tramp stamps or that guy who complains how tattoos make girls look trashy. That's the guy I want to tattoo… let me at him.
Before someone gets a tattoo what advice do you give them? 1. Don't rush it; you have the rest of your life to decide. 2. Don't ask me to decide for you.
Is there a tattoo that you haven't done yet that you are dying to do? The YouTube's Dramatic Prairie Dog, of course.

Entry-level powder metal program offered again
The first "Fit for Powder Metal Program" entry-level course recently offered to area residents was very successful, and organizers will be offering the seven-week program again in October. The free course was offered through a grant from Highmark's Local Workforce Initiative and was developed over several months with input from staff at the Community Education Council of Elk and Cameron Counties (CEC), PA CareerLink, the North Central Workforce Investment Board, and area employers. The eight graduates learned about the history and current trends of the powder metal (PM) industry, and job readiness and communications skills.Kate Lomax, CEC director of educational services, said at the conclusion of Fit for PM, graduates had the opportunity to engage in 15-minute, one-on-one interviews with participating employers. Seven out of the eight graduates were offered employment at wages ranging from $10 to $13 per hour, with several receiving offers by more than one employer.Lomax said the program is ideal because it helps provide participating employers with qualified candidates who have already demonstrated their reliability and a good work ethic. Interested participants should call the PA CareerLink at 834-2857 to register no later than Oct. 3. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older, be a Pennsylvania resident, and have a high school diploma. Lomax said prior to the start Oct. 19, participants must schedule and pass a drug test, attend three workshops at PA CareerLink, and participate in a company tour. CareerLink staff will advise applicants how to schedule the drug test, workshops and company tour. The technical hands-on training portion runs from Oct. 22 to Nov. 2, and the post-technical training workshops and interviews will take place the week of Nov. 5.

"It picked better than it looked." That, says University of Georgia Extension Agronomist Philip Jost, could be the overall theme for his state's 2005 cotton crop, which is expected to bring a record average yield.
Drier than normal weather during November made for excellent harvesting conditions, according to the state's agricultural statistics service.
Georgia's cotton production for 2005 is expected to total 2.15 million bales, up 150,000 bales from the earlier forecast and 353,000 bales above the 2004 production. If this production is realized it will be the second highest on record.
Acreage for harvest, at 1,210,000 acres, remains unchanged from earlier estimates.
The yield calculates to 853 pounds per harvested acre. If this yield is realized, it will be the highest on record. By the end of November, about 88 percent of the crop had been harvested.
All U.S. cotton production is forecast at a record-high 23.7 million 480-pound bales, up 2 percent from the November forecast and 2 percent above last year. Yield is expected to average 832 pounds per acre, up 19 pounds from earlier estimates but down 23 pounds from 2004. If realized, production will surpass the previous record set last year, while yield would be the second largest on record. However, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas also are expecting record-high yields. Area for harvest remains at 13.7 million acres but is up 5 percent from 2004.
Upland cotton harvested area, at 13.4 million acres, is unchanged from the November forecast but up 5 percent from last year.
American-Pima harvested area, at 265,000 acres, is also unchanged from November but up 7 from the 2004 harvested area.
In the Southeastern states, ideal weather conditions allowed growers to make progress with harvest. Showers during the middle of November slowed harvest progress, but by late month harvest was virtually complete in the region.
Cotton harvest was virtually complete by the first of November in the lower Delta, while producers in the upper Delta finished harvest by late month. Yield survey data show boll weights in Mississippi were the highest in the last 10 years.
In Louisiana, the count of bolls per acre was the highest on record. Warm, dry weather allowed Texas growers to finish defoliation and accelerate the harvest pace, with harvest progress ending November slightly ahead of the five-year average.
In Kansas and Oklahoma, harvest was complete by late November. Measurements show Texas boll weights to be the largest of the last 10 years and the second highest boll count per acre.

Is My Property Eligible for Listing in the National Register?
This is a question owners of older properties frequently ask, and one the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) staff can help answer.
The department has changed all fill-in forms to PDF fill-in. You will be able to save and reuse these PDF forms. However, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 or higher to save the PDF fill-in form. Also, at this time the department does not accept digital signatures. If your Acrobat Reader prompts you to use one, we ask that you don't.
In order to assess the significance and National Register eligibility of an individual property (i.e. a residence, commercial building or historic school), or a small complex of buildings (i.e. a farmstead or small industrial complex), an eligibility assessment form and current photographs of the property must be submitted to the SHPO. Photographs should include all sides of the property as well as its unique features, such as intricate trim or woodwork, staircases, fireplaces or exterior landscaping and outbuildings. Blank eligibility assessment forms and instructions can be downloaded here. If you are unable to download forms, you can also email your name and mailing address to email@example.com or contact the SHPO at 573-751-7858.
Use the form to provide as much information as possible on the property and its historic significance and return it to the SHPO, along with clear current photographs. SHPO staff will review the information and respond in writing to the applicant with an opinion on the property's eligibility.
All assessments are based on National Register of Historic Places criteria for eligibility. A property must retain most or all of its historic physical characteristics in order to be eligible for National Register listing. Additional information on the National Register can be obtained by visiting the National Register of Historic Places. Of particular use in completing the eligibility assessment are National Register Bulletin #15: "How to Apply National Register Criteria" and Bulletin #39: "Researching an Historic Property."
Within 30 days from receipt of the above information, the SHPO staff will respond with a written opinion as to the eligibility of the property. Completed requests for eligibility assessments and accompanying photographs should be sent to: State Historic Preservation Office, Department of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0176.
Communities considering nominating commercial, industrial or residential historic districts should begin with an architectural/historic survey. These surveys provide an inventory of buildings and other significant resources in a neighborhood or community, and a historic context for understanding significant events and historic development patterns. Surveys are used to identify National Register eligible properties and to provide a "snapshot" in time that can be used later to mark changes and improvements in the neighborhood over time.
Some communities contract with a professional preservationist or historian to conduct architectural survey. When funding sources are limited, surveys conducted by local volunteers can also be an effective means of identifying historic properties and connecting citizens with their history. Upon request, the SHPO will provide free training to organizations interested in volunteer survey.
Finally, there are some National Register documents that are intended to provide the historical context and criteria to facilitate the listing of properties that meet the requirements set out in the document. The recently approved Rural Churches of Missouri: A Study of Architectural Types 1819 to 1945 and One-Teacher Public Schools of Missouri are examples of multiple property cover documents designed by SHPO staff to assist anyone interested in listing a rural church building or schools that meets the specified requirements. For other multiple property cover documents please check out the listings at the foot of the National Register Map page.
Here, for the convenience of those wishing to nominate properties to the National Register, are forms and information:
- National Park Service National Register Site
- National Register Bulletin #16a, "How to Complete the National Register Nomination Form."
- National Register nomination form (including continuation sheets)

A primer on food guards.
Food Guards: An Overview
NSF classifies food shields into functional categories, including self-serve, cafeteria style or full serve.
Food shields utilize a pane of glass or clear acrylic material as a barrier between customers and food to protect it from safety hazards and contamination. Foodservice operators can choose from many food shield styles, including adjustable, institutional, decorative and custom designs.
"We categorize sneeze guards as vertical, self-serve, attended-serve and attended self-serve," says Orlando Espinosa III, principal at Orlando Espinosa + Associates, a foodservice design firm based in Glen Mills, Pa.
NSF guidelines dictate the design of this equipment. "There are numerous code requirements that need to be followed, such as clearances," Espinosa says.
Typically custom manufactured, food shield sizes can range from as short as 1 foot to as long as 100 feet. Longer sizes include connecting sections to fit over any counter length.
Pass-over units represent the most common type used in serving line operations and can accommodate one or two display shelves. Most often used in buffet or self-serve applications, reach-through food shields tend to feature a canopy style, which allows customers to see the food from all sides.
Adjustable food shields give operators the ability to change the angle or height, while fixed shields stay in place. Operations that require additional flexibility can choose from portable or temporary food shields.
Although traditionally constructed of glass and stainless steel, these pieces are now mostly either glass or acrylic for better food visibility. "The top surface of pass-through food shields should be constructed of glass to withstand the weight of plates with product," Espinosa says.
How to Know When to Replace Food Guards
Depending on use, food guards can last a decade or more. Here are five signs it might be time to replace a food shield.
Cracking: Scratches, cracks or other damage to the glass or acrylic compromises the food guard's aesthetics, which means the operator should replace the unit. "Usually the cracking is caused by customers in self-service operations or by the staff," says Josh Taylor, service director at American Kitchen Machinery, based in Philadelphia. "If the food guards aren't touched, they generally won't crack or break."
Service Conversions: When an operation changes from full-service to self-service or vice versa, the way it uses food guards will change and may require the installation of new units.
Wear and Tear: Significant wear and tear from years of use may compromise the appearance of the food guard. "Food guard brackets can be hit continuously with metal utensils, which can cause issues that compromise the equipment's integrity," Taylor says.
Design Changes: If a foodservice operation changes its theme or design, the food guards used may no longer be appropriate.
Menu Modifications: New menu items may require new food guards with different features, such as lighting for better visibility or heat for temperature consistency.
Food Guard Specifications
The basic function of food guards is to protect food from being contaminated by patrons. Here we explore some of the NSF-related standards operators need to take into account when purchasing food guards.
Operators commonly use food guards in cafeteria, buffet and food bar settings to protect menu items in both self- and full-service setups. NSF Standard 2 for food shields, which was issued in March 2008 and went into effect on Dec. 31, 2010, updates the design and construction requirements for this equipment.
All food shields must have end panels that measure a minimum of 18 inches deep from the leading edge of the front glass panel. The minimum height of the end panel should be equal to the overall height of the food shield. The gap from the bottom of the end panel to the counter shouldn't be greater than 1½ inches. End panels are not required if a food shield is installed within 3 inches of a wall.
NSF requires food shields used in front of carving stations to include a vertical barrier that is at least 60 inches above the finished floor. The opening below this barrier cannot be more than 6 inches. The distance between the food shield and food needs to be at least three-fourths the opening distance.
With self-serve food shields, the opening between the glass and counter should not be more than 13 inches, as opposed to 14 inches in the past. In addition, the sum of the food shield's protected horizontal plane and protected vertical plane should be greater than or equal to 20 inches.
These regulations require the maximum gap between glass sections to be 2 inches on these units. The minimum distance from the food shield's bottom leading edge and front inside edge of displayed food should be three-fourths of the distance of the opening, a change from the 7-inch minimum.
Full-serve shields/cafeteria-style protectors require the sum of their protected horizontal planes and protected vertical planes to be greater than or equal to 32 inches. The maximum gap between the front panel and top shelf is ¾ inches, while the maximum gap between the counter and front panel bottom is 1½ inches. The minimum distance between the food being served and front panel is 1½ inches.
Standard 2 requires the lower tier on multiple tier food shields/display cases to conform to the standards of a self-serve guard. All tiers above the bottom tier must have a permanent label attached restricting use to wrapped or prepackaged food.
These guidelines are subject to each state's health department requirements.
Maintaining Food Guards
Food guards don't require much in terms of maintenance and cleaning. But here are four easy steps to ensure an operation's food guards continue to look good and help facilitate a food-safe environment.
A foodservice operation's style of service, meaning self- or full-service, will affect how often staff will clean the food guard and the amount of maintenance this unit requires. Generally, maintenance of this equipment is a simple process and takes minimal time.
- Use a food-safe glass cleaner or mild soap and water to wipe down food guards daily. Refrain from using abrasive cleaners and cleaning pads.
- Regularly check brackets and tighten when necessary.
- Readjust tilting food guards when necessary.
- Check food guards for cracks and scratches that may compromise use.
How to Specify a Food Guard
Here are five factors foodservice operators should consider when purchasing food guards.
Design: Operators can choose from a variety of design options with this equipment. Food guards come with brackets in a variety of colors and styles as well as glass panes with designs or logos. Lighting features can increase visibility of food items, too. "Although operators can get heat or lighting accessories retrofitted to food shields in the field, it's best to specify these initially for a better aesthetic," Espinosa says.
Application: When specifying a food guard, operators need to consider how they will use these units. Adjustable types are suitable if this equipment will be used in both a self- and full-serve capacity.
Support Posts: Because tempered glass shifts under its own weight, consider the span between support posts when specifying food guards. The appropriate support structure will help prevent the glass from sagging or bowing.
Installation: Consider how the food shield will attach to the counter. The method should not only be structural, but also aesthetic so as not to block views of the food.
Clearance: Working height is another consideration when purchasing a food shield. "Operators should assess the working surface to the underside of the sneeze guard, then to the top of the unit," Espinosa says. "Those heights vary from 16 to 22 inches. There needs to be enough clearance to plate the food."
In addition, digital signage is now available with food guards, which can assist operators in marketing and merchandising food items. Food shields with UV bonded glass don't require support structures, which can inhibit views of the food and the appearance of the unit.

Yii has a new face
Posted 17 October 2010 - 09:57 AM
One minor point: It would be a great improvement to remove the colors of the headline text on the home page. "The Fast, Secure and Professional PHP Framework"
I think it will look a lot better with the three highlighted words in the same colour (probably a dark grey) and in bold. At the moment it looks a bit simple with them in three primary colours, and distracts attention from the logo.

Almost two years ago, when I was deciding what framework I was going to use, I chose CakePHP over Yii.
I guess one of the deciding factors was that CakePHP had a cooler website..
Now the Yii website is as cool as Yii itself!

I think the main page could use some work though, there is information all over the place in different blocks, it feels messy to me. Especially on a screen with higher brightness configured. Perhaps a more visible separation between the top part (intro, features) and the lower part (news, specials)?

One thing, the landing page is a bit crowded. The separation between sections is not very clear, take for example "Latest news" section versus the section on its left: Stay.com & the book. Also maybe there's too much information for a landing page, at least it's not very well structured.
Posted 18 October 2010 - 04:46 AM
The only thing that, in my opinion, needs a better improvement is the extensions page. The list of extensions is not intuitive and de view is a bit disorganized.
Maybe the possibility of associate a main image to a extension, to differ each one in the list, would be nice. And organize the extension view in tabs would be cool to (Description, Download, Documentation, Changelog, ...).
Congratulations to all involved in the project

I have to agree! When I start with this page I don't know where to look at the first moment. Give the content a little bit more free room. For example you can use some kind of slider -- something like this one: http://nivo.dev7studios.com/
Another thing would be great: add the version number of Yii to the download button. I know that the version is placed under the button but at the first moment I tried to find it in the version above the button and in the bottom.

I love everything except one little thing: the API! I prefered having classes listed from A to Z rather than under categories, for being able to switch quickly from one to another (using ctrl+F is not possible anymore for classes under unexpanded nodes).
Other than that, love it

You may try the ajax-driven search (eg type "sess" to get to "CHttpSession"). Personally, I find the new API much better to navigate since it's well structured now. If I want to list all cache classes I just extend the system.caching node. Much better than doing ctrl+F+"cache".

You're obviously a mouse fan . I agree to both of you: It's more structured now which looks better. But from a usage point of view you need one more click to find something. Moreover you need to know the section where to look for a class (or you have to type in the name into the field).
Will get used to it, but the older method was faster.

Alternative Name(s): Tub Trap
Single-axle two-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle known as a governess cart, built by Daniel White & Co., of 86-92 Sturt Street, Princes Bridge (South Melbourne), Victoria, probably between 1900 and 1920. Previously owned by Alice Beer of Gembrook, until 1964.
This style of vehicle first appeared in Britain during the late 19th century, towards the end of the horse-drawn era, but remained popular for several decades until the period of rapid rise in motorcar ownership during the 1920s and 1930s. They were built in great numbers in Britain and formed a particularly distinctive part of rural life in Ireland where they remained a common form of transport well into the second half of the 20th century. Other local variations on the design popular in England included the 'digby' used in northern border counties and the 'jingle' used in the West Country.
The governess cart or 'tub trap' was specifically designed as a vehicle suitable for use by a governess or nanny or other unchaperoned young woman in the charge of children. It was one of the safest styles of self-driven horse-drawn vehicle because the passengers were surrounded all round by padded high sides making it unlikely they would fall out and had a reputation for being almost impossible to overturn. Typically governess carts had a light-weight body made of woven wickerwork or a grained and varnished timber frame with spindle stick sides, rather than showy painted bodywork, and inward facing longitudinal bench seats. Some models were fitted with fixed or removable 'head' or hood of wood or canvas. Usually they were driven from the rear right-hand or off-side corner requiring the driver to adopt an awkward half-twisted posture that could become uncomfortable and was not particularly conducive to maximum control of the horse, but had the advantage that all passengers remained in full view of the driver making the supervision of young children easier.
The manufacturer Daniel White was one of Melbourne's most prominent carriage builders during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born at Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland in 1834, he immigrated to Victoria with his widowed mother and six brothers and sisters in 1861, establishing his own business in March 1869 with a workshop near the top end of Swanston Street. He began with a capital of only £180 and two employees, but the business grew steadily each year and by 1890 had won five gold and 58 silver medals (all first prizes) at shows and exhibitions. He gained a reputation for making high-class carriages for Melbourne's wealthy businessmen and colonial governors, but also produced hundreds of more utilitarian vehicles from simple sulkies and traps to "plain and useful" express wagons. In 1888, the business was floated as the public company Daniel White & Co Limited, and an extensive new factory and showrooms were built in South Melbourne, with branches later being opened in Western Australia and South Africa. After getting into financial difficulties in the 1890s, the business reverted to private ownership and moved to smaller premises in Sturt Street, South Melbourne. Like other coachbuilders, Daniel White diversified into the manufacture and repair of motor vehicle bodies in the early decades of the 20th century, but the business was eventually forced to close in 1931, eight years after the death of the founder.
Gembrook where this vehicle was used historically was a small farming and sawmilling community situated in the Dandenong ranges 54 km east-south-east of Melbourne and 18 km east of Belgrave. From 1900 to 1954, it was the terminus of a narrow gauge (2'6" gauge) railway from Ferntree Gully, which carried passengers, farm produce and timber from local sawmills. The district was first settled in 1873 and was named by the early European settler, Albert Le Souef, who had found small emeralds and sapphires in a creek that he called Gem Brook. A general store opened at Gembrook in about 1880, followed by a primary school in 1883, but it was the opening of the railway on 18 December 1900 that ushered in the town's key period of growth. The Ranges Hotel and post office opened the following year close to the railway station and by 1911 the population had reached 506, with outward traffic on the railway amounting to 8,500 tons a year. The area was noted for its potatoes, dairy produce and orchards and became a popular tourist destination. About twenty sawmills operated in the surrounding forest with an extensive network of timber tramlines used to deliver sawn timber to the railway terminus. Devastating bushfires in 1926 and 1939 destroyed many bush sawmills and large areas of forest, leading to the formation of the Gembrook Fire Brigade in 1940.
Small horse-drawn vehicles such as this were typically used by local farming families for carrying children to school, for making trips to collect provisions and mail from the general store and post office, or to drop off and collect passengers travelling to and from the city at the railway station.
Physical Description
Two-wheeled light horse-drawn vehicle design for private use pulled by a single medium-sized horse or pony. Fitted with a high-sided square-shaped or tub-like body having rounded corners, varnished timber frame and distinctive turned spindles or 'stick work' uprights all round between the top and middle rails. The top rail consists of a wide board with steam-bent corners supporting a deep padded all round squab with zigzag button patterned upholstery in deep blue-black leather. Loose seat cushions in matching upholstery are provided for the inward-facing L-shaped bench seat across the front and right-side. A hinged rear access door is provided in the left-hand or near-side corner, with a brass T-shaped latch handle and single forged iron access step fixed just below the maker's plate. The body is fitted with straight horizontal mudguards mounted on each side top rail, lamp brackets on each front corner, chrome-plated front T-stand for supporting the reins and a whip holder attached to the rear right-hand or off-side corner adjacent to where the driver sat. The body is mounted on three-leaf double elliptical side springs over a square section "cranked" or "drop centre" axle with un-dished 16-spoke "spider" wheels constructed with Savern's patent hubs, hickory spokes and half-rims and iron tyres with counter-sunk rim bolts. The lightweight slightly bent shafts have leather jacketed ends and hind quarter patches which would have originally had a highly polished or glossy finish but are now heavily crazed. All timber work has a clear varnished or stained and varnished finish, while the hubs and undercarriage ironwork, including springs and axle, are painted in black with deep red linework.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Mylute rallied from far behind but missed by a neck in the Louisiana Derby, again demonstrating the flaw that has hindered his career.
"He hasn't quite shown that killer instinct you need to be a top racehorse," trainer Tom Amoss said.
Amoss hopes that all changes Saturday in the Kentucky Derby. He believes the gray colt is still learning the game, and the Derby would be the ideal spot for the schooling to pay off.
Mylute raced seven times as a 2-year-old, making him one of only two horses in the field with than many starts in their freshman season - and he needed each and every one, according to Amoss.
"It took a long time for him to show me he was a proper horse," he said. "A lot of those starts were important in terms of his learning curve."
Time is running out to cram for the Derby - the most important test of all.
The Louisiana Derby was his final prep and Amoss hopes it was the final piece of the Mylute puzzle.
"Even in the Louisiana Derby, he passed the winner, Revolutionary, in the final sixteenth of a mile, but he still didn't quite understand," he said. "He learned from the Louisiana Derby, just like he learned from each of those races."
Mylute is 2 for 9 in his career and will reunite Saturday with Rosie Napravnik, who was aboard for his last win, an allowance race at the Fair Grounds in December.
Napravnik will try to become the first female jockey to win the Derby.
A wide-open Kentucky Derby might finally have a clear favorite after Orb dazzled onlookers Monday at Churchill Downs.
The Florida Derby winner looked the part of the public choice in his final tuneup before the race on Saturday. Working in tandem with stablemate Overwhelming, Orb effortlessly surged away from his companion in the stretch and galloped out strongly up the clubhouse turn. He completed the half-mile drill in 47.80 seconds.
While the time wasn't the fastest of the overcast morning, Orb scored big on style points.
Even his usually reserved Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey was impressed.
"I thought it was great," he said. "I thought he finished up really well. He's getting over this racetrack really well, which is important. I'm happy to be sitting here."
After posting his first win at Aqueduct in November, Orb emerged a top Derby horse by reeling off three straight wins at Gulfstream Park, culminating with the Florida Derby. The four-racing winning streak, coupled with a workout that showed a high comfort level over the Churchill Downs strip, will likely lure betting support.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he was the post-time favorite," McGaughey said. "He's done so well here, and people have seen it."
NO BAFFERT: Bob Baffert won't be saddling a horse in the Derby for the first time since 2008.
The Hall of Fame trainer said Monday that Govenor Charlie would not run. His other possibility, Code West, also won't compete in the Derby at Churchill Downs.
Sunland Derby winner Govenor Charlie was 11th on the points leaderboard that determines the maximum 20-horse field for the 1 1/4-mile race. Code West was ranked 21st.
Baffert hasn't been on the Derby sidelines since 2007 and `08. He has won the race three times, but not since 2002.
Govenor Charlie galloped Monday for the first time since April 11, a layoff caused by a foot bruise and soreness in his hind end.
"You cannot have any kind of hiccup," Baffert said. "We want to be competitive and if you're not competitive, my clients don't want to be in there. We're just going to watch and good luck to everybody else."
Baffert said Govenor Charlie could be pointed toward the May 18 Preakness, while Code West is a possibility for the Belmont Stakes on June 9.
Three weeks ago, Baffert took Santa Anita Derby runner-up Flashback out of consideration because of a knee injury that will sideline the colt at least two months.
"It wasn't meant for me to be in the Derby this year," he said.
Baffert will saddle Midnight Lucky in the Kentucky Oaks on Friday, then fly home to California for his youngest son's first Communion on Saturday, when the family is planning a Derby watch party.
DOWN TO FIVE: Todd Pletcher said that Lexington Stakes winner Winning Cause would skip the Derby, leaving him with a record-tying five starters.
The decision wasn't a negative reflection on Winning Cause or his workout Monday. The colt has already won twice this month at Keeneland and a Derby run would mean three demanding races in a tight timeframe.
"He seemed to come out of the Lexington in good shape and he worked well," Pletcher said. "He seems to be a happy, healthy horse."
Pletcher pointed to the Preakness, the Peter Pan at Belmont on May 11 or the Marine Stakes at Woodbine on May 26 as possible next races for Winning Cause.
"We felt the proper thing to do for the horse was to sit back, let things unfold in the Derby and see where to go after that," Pletcher said.
He will send out undefeated Verrazano, Overanalyze, Revolutionary, Palace Malice and Charming Kitten in the Derby.
FIELD OF 19: As of Monday, 19 runners were committed to the Derby after Govenor Charlie, Code West and Winning Cause were withdrawn. Tiz a Minister, who ran last weekend at Betfair Hollywood Park, was not expected to make the trip from California.
After the defections, Golden Soul moved into 19th place on the points leaderboard. The Derby field is limited to 20 horses.
A drop-back closer who figures to be far behind the early leaders, he knows Churchill Downs. Golden Soul closed from 10th to miss by only a head in his debut here last November.

ALTER SESSION SET SMTP_OUT_SERVER = 'mailserver';Our discussion centered around our (in)ability to send out large inline HTML emails externally (reports). SMTP_OUT_SERVER was set, but there was code setting the mail server (UTL_SMTP) which was just a tad confusing. I tried, and failed, 3 times to change the mail server only to, finally, realize that it was set at the database level.
Looking at the Reference manual for 10.2, I couldn't find mention of that parameter being modifiable either by ALTER SESSION or ALTER SYSTEM. Then one of my more DBA oriented colleagues looked into V$PARAMETER and found that it was modifiable at both SYSTEM and SESSION levels.
Ran the test and it worked. Nice.
IMPDP and REMAP_TABLESPACE
I asked for and received a database export (object only) from production so that I could test my upcoming migration script to make sure I had everything in order. The intent was to install it on my local sandbox and run it until I got it right (yeah for FLASHBACK DATABASE!).
Using imp initially, it failed. Here was my first opportunity to use Data Pump.
Ran the basic commands:
c:\temp>impdp cjustice/testing@testing dumpfile=prod.dmp full=yI received back about 65,000 errors. Scanning through the output, I realized that I didn't have the same tablespaces as production.
I wonder if there is a way to remap the tablespace to USERS?
Documentation to the rescue. Utilities --> Data Pump Import --> REMAP_TABLESPACE
So I tried that, and it failed again.
Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - ProductionSo then I tried with commas separating the tablespaces, that didn't work. Then spaces. Nope. Finally, I turned to the oracle-l mailing list. I've been participating there for the last couple of months. Much of it is more DBA centric, but I do get to participate on occasion. There are very smart and capable people on there...plus a willingness to help.
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-39046: Metadata remap REMAP_TABLESPACE has already been specified.
So as not to embarass myself, I tried to ask the question in an intelligent way.
Within seconds of sending it, I began to get responses. Then a phone call. Then an IM.
As to my problem, I had reversed the order of the tablespaces. All I needed to do was switch them and I was off. Got everything loaded only to realize I didn't have all the necessary objects to compile.

DETROIT (Reuters) - More than two weeks after Detroit's August mayoral primary, a dispute over the counting of write-in ballots has left the election, much like the city's restructuring in bankruptcy court, in the hands of the state of Michigan.
In unofficial city results, former hospital chief executive Mike Duggan won after a successful write-in campaign, defeating Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon in the August 6 primary.
However, the Wayne County election canvassing board on Tuesday declined to certify that result or adopt a recommendation from the Wayne County Clerk's office to exclude about 18,000 write-in votes and make Napoleon the winner.
At issue was whether city election workers erred when they simply wrote down a number when recording the write-in vote totals from those ballots in an election book instead of using hash marks to show the running totals for election canvassers.
Under state law, Michigan election officials certify an election when a county fails to do so. The state board plans to review the disputed votes next week and certify a winner.
Michigan Elections Director Chris Thomas said on Wednesday state law does not require workers to use tally marks and errors by precinct workers should not invalidate otherwise valid votes.
"If the board was concerned with the hash marks being there, than they had the authority to look at those ballots and retabulate them," Thomas told reporters on a conference call. "They should have done that."
Discarding ballots because of the way they were counted would be unusual, said Jocelyn Benson, dean of Wayne State University Law School, adding that "voters need the assurance that their votes will be tallied appropriately."
In either case, Duggan and Napoleon will face each other on November 5 in the general election to determine a successor to Mayor Dave Bing, who said in May he would not seek re-election.
The primary, held less than three weeks after Detroit filed for bankruptcy protection on July 18, drew more than a dozen named candidates and Duggan's write-in campaign even though mayoral powers were greatly reduced when bankruptcy attorney Kevyn Orr was named Detroit emergency manager in March.
Orr is expected to have broad oversight over city finances for at least another year, but the mayoral office remains a coveted position responsible for day-to-day operations, political analysts said.
Once the automotive center of the world, Detroit's economy and population have shrunk and the city is saddled with debts estimated at between $18 billion and $20 billion.
Former state Representative Lisa Howze, who was among those defeated in the mayoral primary, said on Wednesday that the emergency manager's presence did not discourage candidates.
"The mayor will offer another viewpoint in the public so people can decide if the emergency manager is doing what's best for Detroit or if this is just self-aggrandizement," Howze said.
Greg Bowens, a political consultant and former press secretary to ex-Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer, said an emergency manager is not accountable in the same way as a mayor.
"If you have a problem with city government or services, the place to air your grievance is with elected officials, like the mayor and city council," Bowens said.

Bringing the legalese down to earth
If you ask a crowded room of eLearning designers to describe the most boring content they've had to work on recently, the number one answer will probably be compliance training. It's not the lawyers' fault – but we've got to do something about it.
Legally mandated, highly regulated and pored over by the lawyers to make sure each word is right, many of us call this type of training "box ticking." That is, you just need to tick off boxes to prove that people endured the content in order to prove compliance in the event of a lawsuit.
Often, your hands are tied as you look for ways to make the content more compelling, especially if you're under really tight deadlines and need to get the content out in a matter of weeks or days.
One simple technique you can use is what we call "the translator." Can you book end your content with the voice of the layperson?
Start a topic off with a commonly asked question—show a character in the role of employee—asking a question about the content. For instance, "Why is it so important to follow that rule? It doesn't make sense to me…" Treat the learner as someone just as smart, and just as time-pressured, as you.
Use the next few screens to run through the content that the legal team requires. Don't see it as boring – get context for it. Do your best to present that content in appropriate chunks, represented in plain English, and provide opportunities for reflection and synthesis through questions and exercises. What are the situations where this information could make the difference between doing the right thing and ending up in trouble? Now it gets interesting. Go to the interesting places and structure your learning around them. The rest of it is just supporting information.
End the topic with the same employee answering the question asked at the beginning. "I get it now. We need to follow this rule because if we don't follow it this could happen..."
By bookending the content with the voice of a layperson, you can distill it down to the key point and represent it in concrete terms that people will actually understand. You've ticked the boxes with the content screens in the middle and you've provided your audience with easy to understand translations of that material.
For more on using scenarios in eLearning, be sure to check out Cammy Bean's presentation on Slide Share:

Bright Lights Trading LLC is the official dealer in Oman for Pioneer DJ Equipment and we know how much the DJ's will love the latest HDJ-1000 LIMITED Headphones From Pioneer.
Many DJs are as critical of the look of their gear as they are with its audio performance. The HDJ-1000 headphones provide the high-quality sound that DJs expect as well as choices of colors and styles that make a fashion statement. The HDJ-1000 headphones come in two new colors – black and gold. The black version resonates with a more sophisticated look, while the gold version provides a more glitzy style.
To obtain the best audio reproduction possible, the drivers in the HDJ-1000 headphones were tuned to deliver more impact in the lower bass frequencies of music. Its thick 38 micrometers diaphragm and 1.5 mm voice coil are more efficient in generating the critical midrange and mid-bass frequencies in music and produce a more linear response even at high volume levels.
The mono/stereo selector circuit was modified to obtain clearer playback, especially in the midrange frequencies. With this change, the headphones deliver sounds such as bass drums, snare drums and cymbals with more impact.
For maximum comfort, the headphones use low rebound urethane for the ear pads providing a better fit and increased comfort when used for long DJ sessions. Along with the urethane pads, the design of the headphones wrap around the ears to achieve excellent sound insulation, making monitoring effortless even in the noisiest environments.
Additional features of the HDJ-1000 include an easy fold-away structure design, convenient carrying pouch, a swivel mechanism with 90-degree housing rotation to support a wide range of monitoring styles, and a convenient mono/stereo switch for single-ear use.
* Tuned to deliver more impact in the lower bass frequencies
* Improved for better fit and comfort
* Easy fold-away structure design
* Available in gold or black

Ahhh, I was having fun until Aiba came into the picture... Why is that?
Because I know that he's actually a serious contender for Aoi. He really wants her and he's got that drive to the one to actually win her. I just feel so ... conflicted when he's around Aoi. I want Aoi/Oga to happen but...I do want Aoi to be happy too and Aiba might, just MIGHT be able to make her happy. *sigh*

The game is head on battle.
Instant kill.
Izuma backed out after Shizuka lost, no hesitation.
Aiba returns and apparently he has demonic powers? Is he using Koma or did he contract/encounter some minor demon?

I was disappointed Kanzaki and Hanazawa lost so fast and that the battles are straight out brawl now, but on the other hand, I'm pleased with Aiba's return. Didn't expect him to show up here. He's really serious about Aoi.

I guess oga felt this punch becouse of the previous fight with toujo and his mighty Chop... and oga took it without guarding himself and was pushed back... and Aiba hit him in the same spot so mostly its becouse of this oga was in such condition.... im kinda worried that oga will get his left arm broken the plave where toujo used his attacks
maybe this will be the moment where aoi gets to oga and shows some worried expression... becouse does Aoi want to win like that ? and get the title best couple with Aiba guy she doesnt love ;/ its quite sad.... if that happens oga will look at her even less...
Aoi is kinda at her own fault... she is way way too emberessed to express her feelings to oga... maybe she belives that when she wins oga will look at her more... and like his sister said to her "do your best" but I guess she would have bigger chance if she said clearly to him what she feels... and already told him that Kunie Aoi is her in disguise and not her cousin...yet she continues to lie ;/
she would have bigger chances if she was honest with oga... it would be nice if she had a 1v1 talk with ogas sister to learn more about ogas past
personaly I dont like Aiba there... he is WAY too pushy... aoi told him she is interested in oga and has feelings for him... he should accept the fact and wishes of that girl.... and not act like a horny stalker who doesnt listens and just thinks about himself (you will be mine.... it sounds like a damn rapist)
Aiba for me might return if Aoi confesses to Oga...and he rejects it at the end.... so she could move on....but till she doesnt confess he should be gone

In this chapter, I notice a funky comparison to Fairy Tails. When I saw how concern Oga was for Hilda, when she was defeated by Aoi. Its like Oga expects a automatic win from Hilda, just like Natsu expects Erza to be tough, but she was brawling her eyes out during a the tower arc.
Aiba either got power up by Koma during his short meeting with Aoi or he has found a new demon for himself. Hopefully its EN, so he has a chance against Oga.
I really wanna see Hilda right eye and maybe a little more to her back story or Beel mom, because there no plot chapters for a while.

I get the feeling that this little arc is going to have severe repercussions in the relationship department between Oga and Kunieda...? I don't want that just yet, at least, not this way!

lol, this chapter was very good in many ways. Aoi put a good hit on Hilda and i expect the bettle get better. Paako Kanzaki was just too funny with the embarassment of the flirting comment and the instakill. Aiba was an intersting twist to put in, i dont like him much as he's a new character but im sure he'll show more of his skills soon enough to make a good rival. lol Chiyo went so easily to Beel's side.
Beelzebub as a series just keeps getiing better and the occasional joke about the series of the is much like Gintama. Gintama is still the best fighting seemingly random slice of life comedy manga imo but Beelzebub has the potential to match or beat it.
