Sharia Law in Dallas: Police Investigating After Copies of Quran Found in a University Toilet
Police at the University of Texas at Dallas are investigating how two copies of the Quran ended up in a toilet in the men's restroom.
Really? The police are investigating this? Why? This is not a crime and we do not live under Sharia law.
CBS Dallas reports:
A student reportedly found copies of the Quran in a men's room of the Student Union on March 28.
The religious texts were found between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. During that timeframe there were only about half-a-dozen students seen on video going into that bathroom.
UT Dallas Police Chief Larry Zacharias said, "We're still reviewing video to see if we can get people identified."
But Chief Zacharias also said that surveillance video has given them some new insight in the investigation. "We originally suspected these Qurans may have come out of the Reflection Room, which is on the first floor of the Student Union," he said. "We've watched video in this timeframe and only two people went into that Reflection Room — both went in empty-handed and both came out empty-handed."
Police said no one has come forward to claim the Qurans as their property; so no compliant has been filed and that without a complaint the incident can't be called a crime.
Imagine if this were any other book found in the toilet. Would police be reviewing video footage? Most likely not. It's one thing if this were actual stolen property and a person had filed a complaint, however; no complaint has been filed, yet police stepped in to investigate.
It is NOT a crime to destroy a Quran here in the U.S. We do not live under Sharia law, but this is what creeping Sharia looks like.

Knowledge Centre - FAQs on Investing
Knowledge Centre : FAQs on Investing
What is an Equity Share?
An equity share represents the form of ownership. The holder of such a share is a member of the company & has voting rights.
What returns can I expect from my investments in equity shares? What are the risks?
Equity shares are "High-Risk High-Return Investments." The major distinction of Equity investment from all other investment avenues is that while the return from many avenues such as Bank Deposits, Small Saving Schemes, Debentures, Bonds etc are fixed & certain, the earnings from equity investments are highly uncertain & varied. A good scrip picked up at the right time could fetch fairly good returns else the return may be meager or it may even turn negative, i.e. the invested fund itself may be eroded. In short, if the investment in fixed income category instruments is secured & risk-free to a large extent, investment in equities & related fields could be termed as risky.
What is Dividend?
Dividend is the part of profit distributed by the company among its investors. It is usually declared as a percentage of the paid-up value or face value of the share.
What is a Bonus Share?
A Share issued by companies to their shareholders free of cost by capitalization of accumulated reserves from the profits earned in the earlier years.
What is a Bond?
A Bond is a promissory note issued by a company or government to its lenders. A Bond is evidence of debt on which the issuing company usually promises to pay the bondholder a specified amount of interest at intervals over a specified length of time, & to repay the original loan on the expiration date. A bond investor lends money to the issuer & in exchange, the issuer promises to repay the loan amount on a specified maturity date.
What is a Debenture?
It is a Bond issued by a company bearing a fixed rate of interest usually payable half-yearly on specific dates & principal amount repayable on a particular date on redemption of the debentures. Debentures are normally secured / charged against the asset of the company in favor of debenture holder.
What is a Stock Exchange?
A Stock Exchange is a place where the buyer & seller meet to trade in shares in an organized manner. There are at present 25 recognized stock exchanges in the country that are governed by the Securities Contact (Regulation) Act, 1956.
What shares can I buy?
You can buy the shares that are listed on any of the recognized stock exchanges.
Whom should I contact for my stock market-related transactions?
To be able to buy or sell shares in the stock markets a client would need to be registered with a stock broker like Sushil Financial Services Private Limited who holds membership in stock exchanges & who is registered with SEBI.
Am I required to sign any agreement with the broker or sub-broker?
Yes, you have to sign the "Member-Client Agreement" for the purpose of engaging a broker to execute trades on your behalf from time to time & furnish details relating to yourself to enable the member to maintain Client Registration Form.
What is a Member-Client Agreement Form?
This form is an agreement entered into between client & broker in the presence of witnesses wherein the client agrees (is desirous) to trade/invest in the securities listed on the concerned Exchange through the broker after being satisfied of broker's capabilities to deal in the same.
What is Buying & Selling?
There are several types of orders that you can dictate to a broker. The most common type, which is a regular buy or sell order, is called a market order. Another type of order is a limit order wherein you ask the broker to trade only if the price reaches a specific level. In a stop order, you tell the broker to sell your shares if the price drops to a certain level to prevent significant loss because if it drops to that level it is likely to drop further & your losses are likely to increase.
How could I place orders?
Trading can be done via the phone or by coming in person to the office of Sushil or through any other facility provided by Sushil like Internet trading. The dealer (employee of Sushil who is supposed to input the investors order into the stock exchange order system) after checking the authenticity of the person calling & after checking the margin available in the account would put/enter the order into the stock exchange system.
What is meant by bullish & bearish trend?
When the market goes up it is called a bullish trend & when the market goes down it is called a bearish trend.
What is taking a position?
When you act upon a stock & buy into it, you are taking a position. A position is an amount of money committed to an investment in anticipation of favorable price movements.
There are two kinds of positions:
1. Long positions:
Long positions are what most people do. When you buy long, that means you are anticipating an upward movement in the price, & that is how you profit. People usually buy stocks at prices expecting to sell them later at higher prices & hence make profits.
2. Short positions:
Short positions are the tricky ones. When you buy short, you are anticipating a fall in the price & the fall is the source of your profits. The shares will be sold & when the price falls they will be repurchased & given back & the difference is the where the investor profits. Of course, the investor who borrowed the shares carries the risk of not having the price move as anticipated, in which case he may lose money in repurchasing the stocks.
What is an index?
An index is a stock-market indicator created as a statistical measure of the performance of an entire market or segment of a market based on a sample of securities from the market. An index is thus a means to evaluate the overall performance of a market or of a segment of the market. An index measures the aggregate market movements.
Apart from being a general market indicator, indices are used as a benchmark to evaluate individual portfolio performance. Professional money managers will always try to outperform the market, i.e. they will always try to do better than the indices. For example, if the value of a portfolio moves up by 10% while the index moved up by only 5% then the portfolio is doing better than the market.
We have two renowned indices viz.
• BSE Sensitive Index (BSE SENSEX)
• S&P Nifty 50 (NIFTY)
BSE Sensex comprises of 30 large-cap companies. As the name suggests, it is a premier index on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Nifty comprises of 50 large-cap companies on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
What is Methodology of trades?
The market watch, i.e. the screen kept open normally on the trade screen would show the following columns:
• Best bid price
• Best bid quantity
• Best offer price
• Best offer quantity
• Last traded price.
The first 2 columns as given above show the available buyers for a particular share in the stock exchange & the next 2 columns show the available sellers, & the fifth column shows the price at which the last trade took place. Hence when a investor wants to buy a share at "market price" ideally the 3rd & the 4th column would depict how many shares one can get at a stipulated price. The client can also put a limit price order which would sit in the order book till it reaches a price time priority when the trade can be executed.
What is a Contract Note?
Contract Note is a confirmation of trades done on a particular day on behalf of the client. It establishes a legally enforceable relationship between the client & Sushil with respect to the settlement of the trades. The Contract Note would show settlement number, order number, trade number, time of trade, quantity & price of the trades, brokerage charged, etc & it would be signed by an authorized person of Sushil.
What is pay-in day & pay-out day?
Pay-in day is the day when the broker shall make payment or delivery of securities to the exchange. Pay-out day is the day when the exchange makes payment or delivery of securities to the broker.
What is a depository?
A depository can be compared to a bank. A depository holds securities (like shares, debentures, bonds, Government Securities, units etc.) of investors in electronic form. Besides holding securities, a depository also provides services related to transactions in securities. There are two main depositories in India, namely, a) National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL) & b) Central Depository Securities Ltd. (CDSL), both of which are regulated by SEBI.
Sushil Financial Services Private Limited
is a Depository Participant of CDSL & will hold your securities in electronic form.
What should I do when I want to open an account with a DP?
You can approach Sushil Financial Services Private Limited or any DP of your choice & fill up an account opening form. At the time of opening an account, you have to sign an agreement with DP in a CDSL prescribed standard agreement, which details your & your DP's rights & duties.
What do you mean by 'Market Trades '&'Off Market Trades'?
Any trade settled through a clearing corporation is termed as a 'Market Trade'. These trades are done through stock brokers on a stock exchange. 'Off Market Trade' is one which is settled directly between two parties without the involvement of a clearing corporation. The same delivery instruction slip can be used either for market trade or off-market trade by ticking one of the two options.
How do I deliver or receive shares to or from Sushil?
In case of sales, the investor would need to transfer the shares to the pool account of Sushil for the specified settlement number. The pool account number for shares sold on BSE is CM-BP-ID IN654633 & the pool account number for shares sold on NSE is CM-BP-ID IN563698. The delivery should necessarily come from the demat account of the investor & not from any other person. Similarly Sushil would directly transfer shares bought to the account of the investor.
How do I make or receive payments to or from Sushil?
Payments to Sushil has to be made via a Account Payee cheque/Demand Draft for the BSE in favor of Sushil Financial Services Private Limited & for NSE in favour of
Sushil Financial Services Private Limited
. The payment should necessarily come from the bank account of the investor & not from any other person. Similarly Sushil would pay an Account Payee cheque in the name of the investor, which will also contain the Bank name & account number of the client.
How long does it take to receive my money for a sale transaction & my shares for a buy transaction?
The pay-out of funds & securities to the clients by Sushil will be within 24 hours of the pay-out.
What is a Rolling Settlement?
In a Rolling Settlement trades executed during the day are settled based on the net obligations for the day. In NSE & BSE, the trades pertaining to the rolling settlement are settled on a T+2 day basis where T stands for the trade day. Hence trades executed on a Monday are typically settled on the following Wednesday (considering 2 working days from the trade day). The funds & securities pay-in & pay-out are carried out on T+2 day.
What is an Auction?
The securities are put up for auction by the Exchange on account of non-delivery of securities by the selling trading member to ensure that the buying trading member receives the securities due to him. The non-delivery by the trading member could arise on account of short delivery. The Exchange purchases the requisite quantity in the Auction Market & gives them to the buying trading member.
What happens if I could not make the payment of money or deliver shares on the pay-in day?
In case of purchase on your behalf, the member broker has the liberty to close out transactions by selling securities in case you fail to make full payment to the broker for the execution of contract before pay-in day as fixed by Stock Exchange for the concerned settlement period unless you already have an equivalent credit with the broker. The shortages in case of sales are met through auction process & the difference in price indicated in Contract Note & price received through auction is paid by member to the Exchange which is then liable to be recovered from the client.
In both the cases any loss in transactions will be deductible from the margin money paid by you.
What happens if the shares are not bought in the auction?
f the shares could not be bought in the auction i.e. if shares are not offered for sale in the auction, the transactions are closed out as per SEBI guidelines. The guidelines stipulate that "the close out price will be the highest price recorded in that scrip on the exchange in the settlement in which the concerned contract was entered into & up to the date of auction/close out OR 20% above the official closing price on the exchange on the day on which auction offers are called for, whichever is higher." Since in the rolling settlement the auction & the close out takes place during trading hours the reference price in the rolling settlement for close out procedures would be taken as the previous day's closing price.
What happens if I do not get my money or share on the due date?
Undoubtedly, it is "Don't put all your eggs in the same basket". It is very tempting to make all your investment in the same sector when their stocks are going up, but since market trends are very volatile, you are, at the same time, making yourself extremely vulnerable to lose all your money. Dealing with single sector investment requires razor sharp timing with zero margin of error - a tall order in such a speculative & volatile business.
Hence, it is always advisable to make investments in different companies & in different sectors, so that you can achieve stable portfolio diversification & compensate losses in one sector against profits in another sector.
What are the additional charges other than brokerage that can be levied on the investor?
The trading member can charge:
• Securities Transaction Tax.
• Service tax as applicable.
• Transaction charges levied by NSE, Stamp duty & other charges directly attributable to the transaction.
(Note: The brokerage & service tax is indicated separately in the contract note.)
How are margins paid?
Exchange prescribes margin rules from time to time, which currently are calculated on the Value at Risk model. Margins are to be paid by the investor before placing the order.
What are the rights of the investor?
The right to get proof of price/brokerage charged, money/shares on time, Statement of Accounts & Contract Note from trading member.
What are the obligations of the investor?
The obligations are:
• Signing a proper Member-Constituent Agreement
• Possessing a valid contract or purchase/sale note
• Delivering securities & making payment on time
• Providing margin before trade
Who is a Portfolio Manager?
Any person who pursuant to a contract or arrangement with a client, advises or directs or undertakes on behalf of the client (whether as a discretionary portfolio manager or otherwise) the management or administration of a portfolio of securities or the funds of the client, as the case may be is a Portfolio Manager.
Sushil Financial Services Private Limited
is a SEBI Registered Portfolio Manager (Reg. No.INP000001116) that offers Discretionary Portfolio Management Services to an investor with a minimum of Rs.10 lakhs.

Flannel and Plaid. Plaid and Flannel. Pizza and pepperoni. Mac and Cheese. Gin and Tonic. Just somet thing that are nice when had seperate but absolutelly gorgeous when had together.
Plaid and Flannel are considered by most people to be one and the same. That is a common mistake, since the two are almost inseperate. Flannel refers to the fabric, wich is made from carded wool or worsted yarn. Plaid is the name of the famous checkered pattern widely used on Flannel shirts as seen above.
The popular mix-up of the two is due to the success of a man named Hamilton Carhart. Carhart is the one responsible for the popolarity of flannel and it's friend Plaid(in some extent). His brand beeing popular among the skaters, bmx riders and a lot of steet culture oriented people due to it's steardiness and it's well built garments, turned a tradional 17th sentury workers shirt into a rebellious fashion statement with a cult following.
Grunge Rock and Lumberjacks played their role too, in spreading the Flannel+Plaid trend. One of the reasond the red/black Plaid-Flannel shirt is considered an urban classic and a must have nowdays.
But when you think about it it's not just that now, is it? They are warm, easy to wear(worn with jeans,chinos in formal or casual occasions) and come in a myriad of colors. A perfect choise either for roamming the streets during the day, or getting your game on during the night.

Andrews is much more of a Travis Kelce, Rob Gronkowski, Jason Witten mold than he pure recieving threat. That's part of the reason I like him.
I just don't see him as a Travis Kelce or Gronkowski type guy. When I say Olsen or Davis, I meant in that they walked in season 1 and made impacts because of their speed. 14 just seems relatively high for a TE either way. Maybe we trade back if that is the target.
I agree. I dont know the tight ends that well, but from what Ive read, 14 seem super high for any tight end this year. And if youre taking a guy top 15 at tight end, he either better be an absolute freak athlete or as sure of thing as you can get. Andrews seem like neither to me. Solid athlete who played in a system where he didnt run a full variety of routes. 14 is way too high for that.
Seriously...lets just remember that Olsen and Davis were legitimate first round picks. They were can't misses. And they proved it within their first several years. You can say what you want about Davis now but he was legit for a long time. That being said, we aren't in the world where a TE at #14 makes any sense and if it happens, this dude better be a 10+ TD and 1000 yd guy because ultimately we needed defense here.
Keep in mind, Davis had about as impressive of combine as youll ever see as well. He scored in the 99th percentile in the 40, 98th percentile for vertical leap, 97th percentile for bench, 96th percentile for broad jump and 88th percentile for 20 yard shuttle (those are the only drills he ran) compared to all tight ends in the mockdraftabel database, which goes back to at least 06 as far as I can tell.
You can really have a better combine performance than that to be honest.
And Olsen as a pretty good combine as well. Short arms and smallish hands, but he had an elite 40. He didnt do great in the 20 yard shuttle and broad jump, but was about 75th percentile for the rest (vertical, 10 yard split, bench and 3 cone). So while his performance pales in comparison to davis, Olsen was still a very high level athlete.

I dont mind graham at all. However, the smarter play might be to try to find a younger graham, which I think trey burton could be. He may never put up peak graham numbers, but I think he could closer to the Seahawks version of graham.
I think Burtons contract may surprise people. I think hell get a decent contract relative to his past production, but hes a decent potential guy. Hes not an all around type of guy, and hes more in the Finley mold, but as long as he can block defensive backs and beat linebackers on pass plays, he can be a good matchup tool. And its hard to knock his blocking too much since outside of half a season of Bennett, our tight ends have not been even mediocre run blockers for awhile. So while Burton isnt a good blocker, it shouldnt be a drastic drop off from what weve had.
I was once again impressed with Roquan Smith last night, there was no quit in his game, he has heart, a great motor, and a lot of things you can teach. I've said it before I know ILB is not the big priority, but if he is there at 14 I don't think you can pass on him. Smith and Martinez at ILB with Ryan as the #3 makes this defense that much better. If we hire Fangio I'm sure he would love that pick.
If they could add a Graham and look for a third round development guy this offense looks very dangerous again.
What I'm saying is that if you draft Smith you likely are going to have a hole at OLB and CB. Either sign or trade for a top-tier OLB or CB and draft the other in R2. This team needs about 3 OLBs. One corner like say Josh Jackson of Iowa and having him and King and Randall I think CB would be set for the top-3.
I don't think Smith is there at 14 in my view so this whole dilemma is probably out the door. Moving down the board if Arden Key is there I would think thats the pick. Realistically neither Key or Smith are there. So Jackson would be a solid selection and I think he is the unquestioned top corner in this draft. He's got a good size already, and is an NFL ready talent. I would say looking at current projects it either Jackson or Ferrell at this point, but a lot changes. I don't think you look TE here as the bulk of the top talent should be there in round 2-3.
Realistically we just need more star players on defense. Doesn't exactly matter where. The only real shining aspect we currently have is Defensive Line, but even there it is a lot of unproven commodities beyond Daniels.
Clark is making a name for himself. Those two are both beasts.
Im okay with Jackson, but assuming we draft Jackson, it likely means no vet cornerback in FA. That would be a ton of youth with Randall, Jackson and king as starters.
Drafting entirely for need is foolish, but Im a big believer in draft pass rushers early. Despite what some people seem to think, pass rushers rarely fall. Last year was an extraordinarily deep draft for pass rusher and there was a pretty decent drop off after watt, who was still a first rounder.
We dont draft early often, so we need to take our opportunity to draft a rusher if theres anyone we like near our pick. Im not saying move up 10 picks for Chubb, cuz thats expensive. But if we have to slide up a spot or two to get a pass rusher, Im good with that.
Regardless of who you draft I think you have to bring in at least one veteran at corner just to be safe. It doesn't have to be a free agent splurge, but maybe an older guy with a year or two left.
I agree to an extent of drafting for need is foolish, but at the same time you want to make sure the player fits in what you are doing as well. I wouldn't disagree on the pass rusher thing, most of the top pass rushers are 1st rounders with a few exceptions.
The only issue with this years class is how many actually declare for the draft, this can be a pretty deep pass rusher class if the whole group declares. If not it's a very top heavy group in my opinion. Arden Key or Clellin Ferrell would look good in Green and Gold.

Incredibly Powerful Upgrade of a Bestselling Compact DAC
Meridian's Explorer2 is a portable, compact and rugged USB DAC designed to deliver best-in-class audio performance. Developed from the highly successful and acclaimed Explorer, Explorer2 features a significantly more powerful DSP capability than its predecessor, allowing the full range of Meridian enhancement technologies to be included, along with decoding and rendering for the MQA Master Quality Authentication process.
Meridian DNA
Explorer2 embodies sophisticated Meridian 'DNA' throughout. The design features a sophisticated six-layer circuit board, and audiophile-grade components are utilized throughout, including resistors, jacks, music grade electrolytics, and polypropylene filter capacitors. The use of direct-coupled outputs further maximizes audio quality.
Explorer2 was designed built in the UK in exactly the same way and with the same attention to detail and quality throughout as any other Meridian product.
Meridian Resolution Enhancement
Explorer2 includes significantly more DSP power than its predecessor, allowing the full suite of Meridian audio enhancement technologies to be included, which was not previously possible. The Explorer2 upsamples all input signal to 176.4/192kHz (4x standard sample rates) and includes Meridian's proprietary Apodising filter, which minimizes pre-ringing for a clearer, more transparent sound, while at the same time removing digital filter artifacts from earlier digital recordings so that they can actually sound better than they did in the studio.
The Explorer2 also features Meridian's approach to noise-shaping, which moves noise out of the audio band, increasing the audible signal to noise ratio.
Superior Clocking
Explorer2 features full audio performance at sample rates up to 192 kHz, 24-bit resolution. Explorer2 is completely asynchronous, using precision on-board low-jitter crystal oscillators for the base sample rates, developed from those used in Meridian's premium home entertainment systems.
These oscillators provide the master clocking for the entire playback system and eliminate all USB interface jitter. 'Isochronous' transfer ensures maximum bandwidth and low latency, the latter being significant when playing videos on the computer, for which audio and video must be in sync.
The DAC design also offers extremely low modulation noise and distortion for the ultimate in audio performance. The interface is USB Audio Class Compliant 2.0 HS, supporting data rates up to 480Mb/s.
Dual Auto-sensing Outputs
Two outputs are provided. A 3.5mm mini-plug headphone jack delivers up to 130mW of high-quality audio capable of driving even low-efficiency headphones. The volume is controlled from the host computer and is an advanced design with an extended range of 0 to 100dB. This level of variability suits all kinds of headphones, including the most sensitive types.
A second 3.5mm mini-plug jack provides a fixed-level analog (2v RMS) output for connection to an external audio system, connected directly to the DAC for bit-precise performance. This output delivers a fixed, full-level signal with no volume control, as is essential for an audio system where you need to ensure maximum signal to noise ratio and maximum use of digital resolution right through to the audio system's own volume control, which controls the level for all sources in the system.
Explorer2 automatically senses which output is in use and deactivates the headphone amplifier when the line output is connected, reducing noise.
A Higher Class of DAC
Explorer2 is a USB Class 2 device that works with the newer (2009) USB2 specification. This supports a transmission speed of 480Mb/s 40 times faster than Class 1 allowing Explorer2 to play 192 kHz audio streams and be tolerant of where it is connected, removing the need for direct or solitary connection to the PC.
Whether playing back as mp3 file or a high-resolution lossless file, Explorer2 will make any content sound its best, delivering a level of audio quality essentially limited only by the source material.
Three indicators show the status of the Explorer2. The LED furthest from the headphone jack illuminates white to indicate that the unit is operating (and playing PCM at 1x standard sample rates 44.1/48kHz). The middle LED (2x standard rate) indicates 88.2/96kHz operation and the third LED 176.4/192kHz operation (4x).
Meridian Quality Authentication (MQA)
Explorer2 includes a powerful decoder and audio renderer for Meridian's exclusive Master Quality Authentication system, which verifies that MQA lossless audio files and streams sound exactly like the source. The 1x LED glows green to indicate that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA stream or file, and that the sound is identical to that of the source material. It glows blue to indicate that the Explorer2 is playing an MQA Studio file i.e., one based on an exclusively sourced, artist/producer-approved studio master with exactly the sound the production team intended.
Effortless Operation
Explorer2 connects to the computer via USB mini B connector and a cable it does not plug directly into the PC like many other products. The use of a cable (included) instead of plugging direct into the PC minimizes the risk of damaging the PC motherboard if the product is accidentally knocked or the headphone cord is pulled.
Explorer2 connects to virtually any computer with a USB port. Drivers are provided for Windows. Macintosh and Linux operating systems allow simple plug-in and play operation. On the Macintosh, the Audio MIDI Setup utility is used to set the output sample rate. With Windows, the Sound control panel is used. Explorer2 requires Macintosh OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) or later, Linux kernel 2.6.37 or later, or Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.
Despite its powerful output and performance capability, Explorer2 is entirely USB-bus powered. It is supplied in elegant presentation packaging and includes a short USB cable (longer cables may also be used) and a soft carrying pouch that stores both Explorer2 and cable.
Praise for the Original Model Meridian Explorer
"Very Highly Recommended"- Stereophile
"A remarkably good addition to a burgeoning field -- and an excellent value. Very highly recommended."
"The first serious listening I did with the Explorer was to the classic bluegrass album Appalachian Swing!, by the Kentucky Colonels, featuring Clarence and Roland White on guitar and mandolin, respectively (AIFF ripped from CD, Rounder SS31). The Meridian was instantly impressive, with a sense of scale that was pleasantly big but still appropriate to the ensemble and their setting. The original recording is a bit light, but the Meridian Explorer retrieved from it almost as much timbral color as one might hope for. The same was true with the weight and color of Roger Bush's double bass -- the Explorer was clear and unambiguous in portraying the pitches of individual bass notes, down to being coldly candid about Bush's dodgy intonation."
- Art Dudley, Stereophile, September 1, 2013
"Five Stars" from What Hi-fi? Magazine
"Wed highly recommend giving the Explorer an audition its absolutely worth it."
- What Hi-fi? Magazine, February 2013
"The Explorer is a marvel of miniaturization and a shining example of design elegance, from its clean circuit-board layout to its machined-aluminum outer shell."
- TONEAudio magazine, February 2013
"In the grand scheme of all things digital in our world, Meridian Audio has long been at the forefront."
- HiFi+ magazine, February 2013
"This kind of even-handed presentation is usually reserved for more costly components in my experience and makes the Explorer a very reasonably priced over-achiever."
- AudioStream.com, February 2013
"Terms like all-metal enclosure, analog and hand-made may conjure up thoughts of exorbitant price tags (most often youd be right) but Meridian proves that occasionally pigs do fly."
- Eric Yang, GearPatrol.com, February 2013
"Its the performance we have come to expect from Meridian at an astonishing price. A visit to your Meridian dealer is in order. Decidedly brilliant."
- Frank Berryman, UltraHighEndReview.com, February 11, 2013
"Listening to the Cobb Quartet FLAC track, I heard excellent delineation of instruments in space, and there was a sense of an actual body blowing into a trumpet. Plucked strings during the guitar solo also had a rich, appealing texture. To sum up, the Explorers rendering of this track was nothing short of gorgeous."
- Al Griffin, Sound+Vision magazine, April 5, 2013
"Meridian has outdone itself Functionally the Explorer does it all. A pocket-sized DAC capable of high resolution playback up through 24 bit / 192 kHz, user switchable firmware for customized feature sets, and great sound quality. The hat trick of external elegance, internal sophistication, and superior sonics put this product head and shoulders above the competition and places it on the CASH List."
- The Computer Audiophile, February 10, 2013
"Besides noticeably improving the sound of even compressed audio, the simple, portable design is beautiful and satisfying in a way that sometimes high-fidelity audio products aren't."
- Mario Aguilar, Gizmodo.com, February 2, 2013

Adam Smith is regarded as the founder of industrial capitalism. In his renowned book The Wealth of Nations (1776) he typifies workers as lazy and only motivated by money. That idea has stood the test of time. From the end of the 19th century, when industrialization made its furore, the role of the employee was marginalized. Production became a succession of clear, partial processes. Each worker had a piece of the chain, literally.
In the twentieth century, rationalization was an asset: companies increasingly began to focus on predictability, measurability, controllability and – above all – efficiency. Even today, this process of McDonaldizing is the basis on which most companies worldwide operate. Whether it's a telephone help desk employee, a cleaner or an account manager: they all work in a system designed to control. Funnily enough, that is a completely at odds with human nature.
First and foremost: salary is important. Without an income no one can live, but that still doesn't mean that money is the only thing that counts. People by nature want to feel they are doing something worthwhile, that they contribute. Meaningful work is a powerful incentive. Combine that with bearing responsibility, and voilà: the involved, enthusiastic, positive employee is born.
Let's face it: this insight is not new. In fact: over the years plenty of research has been carried out in this area. That's why we know that companies who pay sufficient attention to human resources, have a significantly better future perspective than companies who have less regard for that. With that knowledge in mind, why do companies insist on rationalization and standardization? A typical case of a 'self-fulfilling prophecy': by setting up systems traditionally for control, every initiative is nipped on the bud. It is logical therefore that workers are less involved.
But what about efficiency? Ultimately that is what is most important to companies: what do workers actually deliver? Despite all systems, standardization does not lead to more efficiency. The opposite is true: workers who have a say, carry responsibility and are valued, perform better. They work harder and are more involved. Not because everything revolves around them, but because there is room for the personal touch. Not instead of the system, but in harmony with the system. Efficiency is fine, but then, with a human face, please.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- The Mamaroneck Daily Voice accepts signed letters to the editor. Send letters to firstname.lastname@example.com.
To The Editor:
Open Letter to Dr. Robert Shaps, superintendent of Mamaroneck Schools, about layoffs in proposed school budget.
Dear Dr. Shaps:
I am writing to you about the current proposed Mamaroneck School District budget. Specifically, I am addressing the fact that Keith Yizar is among the 20 employees who will be laid off under the budget and his position will be eliminated.
For 29 years Mr. Yizar has served as an adviser and mentor to students at risk. Now, two years before his retirement, he is being discharged.
I and many others believe this is a mistake. Just walk the corridors with Keith, as I have done, and you will be impressed with the affection and respect that pours out from students and fellow faculty members for this 6-foot-4 friendly man whose office is always open and who has never put in for overtime for the many extracurricular projects he has carried out to assist low-income and troubled students. Over the years he has helped turn around hundreds of youngsters who might otherwise have fallen through the cracks. Many of these have come back to shake his hand in his warm, slightly shabby office decorated with banners of colleges that many of those rescued have been able to attend.
There is a another reason why I think that abruptly laying off Mr. Yizar is a mistake. As one teacher told me privately, he has been a much-needed bridge to the community. And that is why, many years ago then-Superintendent Norman Colb asked Mr. Yizar to leave his promising position as a senior caseworker with the Westchester County Department of Social Services to come counsel the kids and be a bridge to the community. As you may know, Mr. Yizar's family has been in this community since the Civil War. Mr. Yizar has been a member of, or party to, many of the institutions that help make this community work. He has been an informal but effective ambassador, presenting the school's case in deed and argument to school stakeholders. Now, of course, he needs help in presenting his own case.
As you sit in your office, Dr. Shaps, and look at the numbers, you may not always realize why you need a local bridge to the residents who pay the school system salaries and the maintenance costs of its physical facilities. One reason is many residents are aware that most of the school administrators and faculty members do not live in this community. They reside and pay school taxes elsewhere. To some locals, this huge educational institution that you manage sometimes seems like an independent island.
Many residents don't personally know the inhabitants of this island. They don't usually meet them at the supermarket. And, frankly, many residents sometimes wonder what is really going on.
As an aside, I should mention to you that I am writing this as a retired businessman. Both my children went through the Mamaroneck public schools. For the 60 years we have been here, my wife and I have voted for every school budget. I might note that at the company from which I retired as president, when times were bad, it was those of us on top who took the first hit to save employees. I might ask: Are any on top in your organization now taking a hit? Do we need all the deputy and assistant administrators?
Are they all more essential than people such as Mr. Yizar, who actually deliver education to students on a daily basis?
In addition to the district schools' need to have a local bridge, there may be a further delicate but practical reason why you may want to reconsider Mr.Yizar's discharge. It wasn't very long ago that the schools suffered a racial incident that it didn't deserve. On Sept. 12, 2012, CBS, Channel 2 put out a digital news story with the headline, "Feds Monitoring Mamaroneck School Accused of Arranging Classes Along Racial Lines." Essentially, the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights concluded that the school district assigned minority students disproportionately to one kindergarten class. This smacked of racial discrimination. The official public response of the school district sounded to many of us like "Oh, we just didn't notice." Now, the district is proposing to lay off a 29-year veteran African-American counselor of students from largely low-income families. You certainly cannot be happy with the thought of the community lumping the above two events together.
Finally, Dr. Shaps, I want you to know I sympthize with your plight of coming up with a budget that does right by all your constituents. I'm sending you this letter because I personally believe that laying off Keith Yizar does not really help you maintain a first-class school system.

Today's gardening consists of starting some seeds in the polytunnel.
Greyhound cabbage.....in 12 cells.
Winter Density lettuce in 9 cells.
Mustard on kitchen paper in a re-cycled punnet.
Cress on kitchen paper in a re-cycled punnet.
Also a parcel arrived with two more lots of shallots in it. I'd forgotten I'd ordered these. I am not dismayed as you can never have too many....especially as DH is so very partial to them pickled. I am saving coffee jars ready for next pickling season. (Does anyone have any good recipe tips for doing them? This years weren't bad, and DH loved them but all tips gratefully received.)
I have decided to use coffee jars with plastic lids this year as the lids on the beetroot jars I re-used last year didn't like the vinegar and we struggled to open them. We even resorted to a tin opener on one of them....! Does anyone know if pickles have to be airtight (vacuum tight) in order to store....or just closed? Do I have to go to the expense of Kilner jars?
I am in even more of a hurry to get the plot dug as the shallots really need to go in soon. I thought I had until February to get the onion bed dug....but now I need to revise that back to next week if possible now the shallots are here.

For new scouts going to camp the above list is what you will need to bring to camp.
Ensure that your scout has a full uniform for camp. If you do not have items, talk to one of the experienced leaders about items and suggestions if you do not have them already.
We use foot lockers at camp. If you have a foot locker already great. If not, they can be found at Walmart in the automotive section and are a "trunk organizer" or something like that. Basically black plastic footlocker. Everything will be inside this locker and your scout will need a lock with keys. Extra key can be given to a leader in case your scout looses his. Cost less that $20.
Scouts will need a few dollars for program needs if they are taking craft merit badges or shooting sports, etc. Plus all scouts enjoy buying slushies and snacks at the trading post. We encourage all scouts to bring some spending money to camp for this. Some bring $10 and some bring $50. Its all up to you. All money is kept in their locked foot lockers until they need it.
Electronic devices. No handheld game devices, music devices, phones, etc. are permitted during the day unless with permission from a Troop leader. This distracts from the camp experience. Scouts may call their parents in the evening with permission. Sometimes new scouts get homesick. This is normal! Please don't come pick up your scout even if he is homesick. They WILL get over it and its an important process for them to overcome this. If you have questions about this, let me know.
All medications are kept with the troop leader for distribution in a locked box unless it has to be refrigerated, those are kept at the health lodge. Ensure that you bring the necessary medications for your scout.
In Troop 21, ALL scouts and leaders take a shower at least once a day. This means we often awake at 6am. Some showers are single and others are group showers. Youth only showers and Adult only showers. Shower and restroom facilities are separate as per BSA Youth Protection. That being said, some scouts are uncomfortable with group showers. No problem, they can wear their swim trucks in the shower, many scouts do this if not most.
Wednesday night of camp is Family Night. Scouts often have their parents bring them their favorite dinner that night. Its a fun time when parents can visit their scouts, eat dinner with them and the troop, and attend the evening campfire program. If you have a cushion to sit on during the campfire, bring it, or a thick towel. The council ring seats are made of limestone and can get hard on the rear end after a while.
Camp starts on a Sunday morning and ends around noon the following Sunday. A full week. We look forward to a great session at camp and one of the best times for building lasting memories your scouts will have in scouting. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Tonie Jones
Troop 21

Filed under: Egypt | Tags: Egypt, Valley of the Kings
Charming article in The Guardian about a British writer's experience finding gold artifacts as a helper on excavations in the Valley of the Kings, Luxor. Accounts like this from non-archaeologists are some of my favorite narratives. Sometimes archaeologists, knowledgeable as they are about their subject, have a knack for sucking all the human romance and thrill out of digging up a very old, beautiful object. Sometimes it takes an unsuspecting amateur to capture that.
Here's Paul Sussman on discovering a small gold plaque from KV56, Valley of the Kings
I felt wonder, of course, and excitement, a breathless racing of the pulse as all those childhood fantasies of discovering buried treasure suddenly became a reality. Also, a strange fleeting sense of dislocation, as if for the briefest of instants I'd been allowed a glimpse into a long-lost world. Mainly I was just anxious to get the object photographed, recorded and put away safely. I have a reputation, sadly deserved, for spectacular acts of clumsiness, and didn't want this find to become my latest victim.

Unless you've been hibernating for days, then you're probably aware of the eclipse mania that swept the country this week. As luck would have it, the city where I currently live was one of the prime viewing spots for this eclipse, so my friend Liz flew all the way from London to witness the event. But getting to South Carolina, was easier said than done.
Liz was scheduled to leave London On Saturday morning (or early afternoon for her), and was scheduled to land in Charlotte North Carolina around 6 that afternoon. From there she would make a connection for Greenville South carolina, where she'd arrive around 9 that night. Unfortunately, Liz was delayed leaving Heathrow, so she ended up missing her connection to Greenville. But that was just the start.
It turned out there were no more flights out that night, so she'd have to wait until Sunday sometime. She thought about renting a car and driving the rest of the way, but none of the car rental places would rent a car for a one way trip. They all wanted her to bring the car back to Charlotte, which I think is rubbish.
A cab from Charlotte to here would have cost over $200. So left with little options, Liz took a cab to the Greyhound station in Charlotte. When I told the wifey about the Greyhound idea, the conversation went something like this:
Me: She may take a Greyhound
Wifey: Greynound, as in the bus?
Me: No, she's riding a greyhound dog from Charlotte
At the station, Lix thought she lucked out because there was one bus headed to Greenville at 9, so she'd be arriving here around 10:30, or so she thought. The bus got delayed 4 hours, meaning she wouldn't get here until 2:30 or so.
While all of this was going on, I kept telling the wifey "Let's go to Charlotte and pick her up." The wifey was worried about the drive because we were both so tired by that point. But my in-laws said, they'd go with us so that we could split the driving.
We headed towards Charlotte around 11:30, I know this because an SNL rerun had just started. But just before midnight, Liz called to say they got another bus, so she was on her way. We headed back home, and finally picked her up around 1:42 in the morning.
With everyone tired, we decided to take it easy the next morning. But Liz did joke that after the journey here, this have better be one heck of an eclipse. And it was! Here are some of the pictures Liz got on her super expensive camera:

The HellCat zoomer is a vehicle in Jak II. It is a light-weight, single-seated zoomer used by the Krimzon Guard while patrolling the streets of Haven City. HellCat zoomers were instituted by the Krimzon Guard in the events of Jak II and possibly before. They were used as patrolling vehicles which was an alternative to the much heavier duty HellCat cruiser.
Similar to normal zoomers, they could be hijacked by Jak, though it would set off an alarm, sending all other Krimzon Guard units after him. Occasionally, they may randomly be found parked and unguarded, and thus can be taken without trouble. During the metal head invasion, only HellCat zoomers are parked around the city, possibly suggesting the guards left them to battle on foot.
A single-seated zoomer, has the typical KG crimson-red paint and KG logos. It has a circular belly in the back, a leather seat, and an automatic turret planted beneath the front side of the vehicle. It also has minor KG markings and armor. They are not much more durable than regular zoomers, their distinguishing features only being the different bodywork, paint and mounted weapon.
When Haven City is being attacked by Metal Heads in Jak II, Hellcat Zoomers were parked everywhere.[1]
Despite the appearance of the HellCat zoomer, it is actually not much superior to the standard one-seated zoomer, both armor and speed are more or less identical (one might say the added size makes it easier to be hit and slightly harder to control). The only substantial difference is the mounted blaster which does not actually aim, unlike the ones used by the guards during an alert. It is possible to angle the zoomer with the left analog stick so you can actually aim and fire, although this is only effective when not moving (meaning you are vulnerable to attack). The major downside is that the Morph Gun is unable for use as the mounted gun takes its place.

(Daily Sangar) The spokesman of BLF, Gwahram Baloch, in a press statement claimed responsibility of the attack on Pakistan Army convoy. Gwahram Baloch said, "Our fighters ambushed the convoy between Naag and Shingir area of Washuk".
BLF spokesman said, Lieutenant Colonel Aamir Waheed along six army personnel were killed, whereas, Lieutenant Colonel Shajee Ullah and several others received injuries in this attack.
BLF spokesman said, the army convoy was targeted when they were on their way from Naag to their main camp in Shingir.
Shingir army camp was built for protection of Chinese funded multi-billion project, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Several villagers were forced to evacuate the area due to continuous military operations.
Guharam Baloch vowed to further accelerate their attacks on Pakistani forces.

Full gates is what comes to mind when summing up this years Dodge Amateur National held at Prairie City MX track, or more commonly known as HangtownMX. The last few years have been hard on Northern California Motocross with fewer and fewer riders showing up for race day. Though, after this weekend you wouldn't be able to tell. From Wednesday on people poured into the parking area, and when the schedule was printed it was awesome to see a nearly full gate in the open pro class, and other stacked classes as well. The weather cleared up after Thursday's practice and the track was looking prime. Jack and Corky Azavedo with AMP GFI put their hearts in track and race prep, I'm not sure if I ever saw Jack off his tractor the whole weekend, always out to get the perfect dirt feel. This is not to say the track didn't get as rough as I've ever seen it, but it was because of the meticulous preparation that the ruts set up nicely and it pushed riders to find the fast lines that constantly changed. This was not a weekend for the weak, and many riders showed up to prove this, and some succeeded. The ones on top of the podium this weekend are headed for great things, we look forward to watching the careers of these riders grow. There was so much to capture and so many great riders so look forward to more footage coming out as we covered it from many angles and will continue to release more edits and some raw footage, so if you don't find yourself in this edit, watch for the next one. Big thanks to all the sponsors, they are the reason these events can happen, also a big thank you to Jack and Corky for all their hard work, as always they did a great job and deserve a lot of gratitude. Great job to all the riders and families that made it out and are keeping Northern California motocross alive.
