My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
The first time I ever heard of Lemony Snicket's The Composer is Dead, was before this book was ever published. Mr. Snicket and his dear old friend, and composer, Nathaniel Stookey, had been commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony to create a theatrical orchestral piece to encourage youth to become more involved with classical music. A sort of Peter and the Wolf for modern children.
This piece landed at the LA Phil (www.laphil.org) and I promptly took my budding cellist of a daughter to see it. Delightful, witty, and a wee bit macabre. It begins with the discovery of a dead composer, in a coffin, being carried off stage. An inspector arrives on the scene and tries to discover who has killed the composer. He interrogates every section the orchestra, every very suspicious instrument. It really was well done. We were only sad that the book was not published yet and could not snatch it up that day. Although there were promises of a picture book and an audio CD to accompany it in the very near future.
Now the book is out, and the moment I saw it I bought it and played it for my younger child, who was much too young to join us for the live performance. She found it just as delightful. The illustrations by Carson Ellis wax nostalgic with their simple lines and muted colors. It looks as though it were meant to be pulled from the pages of a 1930s comic strip. Of course, the colors used as well as the water color technique are far more sophisticated than the printing capabilities of that time, making the illustrations simple and lovely. In my mind I saw something more along the lines of Edward Gorey, but perhaps his use of dark black lines would not be quite as appealing to younger readers, and I should not impose my vision onto those who are at least 20 years my junior. Afterall, this is for them, not me.
The book really cannot be read without the audio accompaniment. Lemony Snicket's narration is very funny. The music, which borrows heavily from the great masters, is dramatic and wonderful. Each instrument is a character in the story and the audio serves to highlight the personalities and duties of each piece of an orchestra. Allowing the listeners to really connect with the instruments and learn what it is they do individually that creates the enormous sound of a music piece.
I do appreciate that the CD that came with it has narrated tracks and then just the music. This allows for theatrical read-alongs for the family. Who gets to narrate as the Inspector next? Daddy? Mommy? Sister? Fluffy?

Marginalization is not Marginal: Non-Convex, Bayesian-Inspired Algorithms for Sparse and Low-Rank Estimation
Speaker: David Wipf
Time: Mar 23, 2:00pm - 3:00pm.
Location: Lecture hall, Administration Center
Sparse estimation and related matrix rank minimization have emerged as important tools in diverse fields including computational neuroscience, signal/image processing, computer vision, and machine learning. Both for computational efficiency and theoretical accessibility, convex algorithms have come to dominate the practical optimization landscape. The typical recipe, which has been iterated in numerous application domains, involves first postulating some putatively ideal, combinatorial cost function favoring sparsity, low-rank, or both, forming the tightest convex relaxation, and then assessing equivalence conditions whereby the convex approximation will lead to solutions sufficiently close to the original non-convex problem. In particular, the recent popularity of compressive sensing and robust PCA have expedited the acceptance of such convex surrogates, largely because the requisite equivalence conditions can be naturally satisfied using, for example, simple randomized or incoherent designs. But in reality, many practical applications of sparsity and low rank matrices do not benefit from this luxury; rather, because of intrinsic correlations in the signal dictionary (or related structure in rank minimization problems), convex algorithms must be used in regimes where theoretical support no longer holds. Moreover, in some situations it has been shown that convex relaxations are in fact provably bad. Consequently, non-convex algorithms, while perhaps theoretically less accommodating, may nonetheless produce superior results. Here we will examine non-convex estimation algorithms, many of which originate from Bayesian machine learning ideas, that thrive in environments where more popular convex alternatives fail. In all cases, theoretical model justification will be provided independent of any assumed prior distributions. Illustrative examples related to robust PCA and rank minimization under affine constraints will be considered for evaluation purposes.
David Wipf received the B.S. degree with highest honors from the University of Virginia, and the Ph.D. degree from UC San Diego, where he was an NSF IGERT Fellow. Later he was an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow at UC San Francisco. Since 2011 he has been with Microsoft Research in Beijing. His research interests include Bayesian learning techniques applied to signal/image processing and computer vision. He is the recipient of several awards including the 2012 Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award, the Biomag 2008 Young Investigator Award, and the 2006 NIPS Outstanding Paper Award.

An animal rights group plans to ride the wave of a recent turkey giveaway in Billings, offering to donate Tofurky roasts for local distribution.
Billings Police Department traffic cops handed out frozen turkeys to some drivers last week who had been pulled over for minor traffic violations. The 20 birds had been donated by a local businessman in time for Thanksgiving.
In a letter written Tuesday to Billings Police Chief Rich St. John, PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said the organization would like to send Tofurkys to the BPD to distribute.
And around 2 p.m. the department accepted the invitation, according to PETA. In a statement Tuesday afternoon, a spokeswoman said the organization was working to facilitate the delivery of the Tofurkys.
Tofurky is a vegetarian turkey replacement made typically from wheat protein and tofu made from bean curd.
"I'd like to make an offer that will really give Montanans something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving," Reiman wrote, before going on to detail the benefits of "delicious cholesterol-free Tofurky roasts."
PETA, which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, partnered with the Fort Worth Police Department in 2016 to donate Tofurkys.
The PETA letter to St. John also described some aspects of turkeys.
"Turkeys are smart, sensitive birds who have been known to enjoy clucking along to music and love to have their feathers stroked," it read, in part.

I sent in an email yesterday asking if there had been a change in the ISS frequencies, as I was hearing packet stations on the uplink freqency (144.99 MHz.) I thank all of those that responded and let me know that nothing had changed (and I had not gone batty) in reference to the ISS frequencies. Herein lies the problem as I have been able to find out. I am not operating packet, so I had to do a little checking in the ARRL Repeater Directory and found out that the frequency (144.990 MHz) is listed as a 9600 baud PACKET frequency here in southern California. (ARRL Repeater Directory 1999-2000, page 158, under California-South-Tasma) That sort of explains why I am hearing packet stations on that frequency in my area, although they are not that strong. I would imagine that in other areas of southern California that may be a real problem, say the LA area, for one. If one were to use the 145.800 MHz downlink frequency, offset his/her tramsmit(uplink) frequency by 1.31 MHz, then begin to call the ISS on voice ... they could be keying down on packet operators in their area without even knowing it. ( If they are like me, and are not operating packet on a regular basis, they would not know that that frequency is listed as a packet frequency here in southern California.) This could be a real problem for some and not even know it. I can also imagine what the ISS is having to listen to on the uplink (voice) frequency and hearing all these packet signals along with the voice stations. I did fire off an email to TASMA to bring it to their attention. I don't know if anyone has brought it to their attention before, but I did it anyway. Again, thanks again to those that responded to my first inquiry. I thought I'd share what I found out about that little tidbit on the packet stations on the voice uplink frequency!

Abstract: A large section of Indian small-scale industrial sector had been protected from the plundering rivalry of the large-scale industries. The ongoing trade liberalization and globalization talks can put these industries in problem. The main aim of this paper is to assess the implications of present round of World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations on Indian products, which are for exclusive manufacture by small-scale sector. As a first step the analyses of the Uruguay round Commitments, Doha declaration and member countries' proposals, with special emphasis on the developing countries taking India as the case study, has been conducted. Further the structure and levels of bindings, base rates from where negotiations would start and tariff incidence for the products reserved for the exclusive manufacture of Indian small-scale industries has been studied. Finally the likely post negotiations scenarios for Indian small-scale industries have been presented. The study finds some interesting results. At present around 66 per cent items of Indian small-scale industry are bound, which is higher than all India level. India cannot a priori exclude any item from negotiation in the present round. Our preliminary results based on alternate scenarios proves that the WTO-NGMA formula would cause the 53 per cent reduction in the current bindings of the products reserved for the exclusive production of small-scale industry in India.

[0001]This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 10/796,687 originally filed on Mar. 7, 2004 and that claimed priority on provisional application No. 60/453,137 filed on Mar. 7, 2003, which is priority claims is repeated here. Both of these prior applications are incorporated here by reference.
[0002]The invention is wearable vest or jacket for the hearing impaired wearer, having various garment parts along with speakers that generate vibrations, mounted for transmitting these vibrations to the wearer and with removable sleeves that come with a sport wrist watch and hood with speaker headphones. A transducer and wireless subwoofer with solar power and Wi-Fi are included.
[0003]Aura Sound, Inc. sold a product called the Aura Interactor--Virtuality Game Wear that is a hard black plastic construction backpack-like instrument. Even though they call it a vest, and it does not appears to be one. It was originally developed for use on the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo games. This device comes with an AC power adaptor, a control unit, cables, and the backpack that gives one feedback from the game. The Aura Interactor--Virtual Reality Game Wear does not make this unit anymore. The company pulled the products from the market in 1995, and no longer producing them. The problems with this unit is that you are strapped to it, a quick and easy task, but somehow the act of strapping a piece of hardware on to your body is itself an act of commitment. In other word, you can't just walk away from your computer to walk your dog or go jogging until you have either unplugged the device or taken the unit off.
[0004]In an article about this unit, Aura Interactor Review, dated 8 Jan., 2002, the author Jon Thysell, wrote: [0005]"AURA INTERACTOR VIRTUAL REALITY GAME WEAR PAST ITS PRIME? [0006]I'll be brutally honest: it was cool for a little while. But after wearing it for about an hour listening to some music, it made me feel sick to my stomach. All that vibrating around can get annoying; you can't concentrate at all while wearing it. It isn't so bad in slower paced games like the various Rainbow Six® games, but playing with it in something that requires fast reflexes and concentration like Counter-Strike will just drive you insane. [0007]If you think back to 1994, back when the hottest gaming systems were the Sega® Genesis® and Super Nintendo®, it would be just fine. But with all of the more recent high intensity games, the Aura Interactor falls short. It should have had a headphone jack though, and a way to mute the garbled sounds coming from the backpack."
[0008]Since Aura ceased this product because their unit did not do well in the market due to some flaws, sound defects, being confined to wires, and to the AC outlet. Apparently, Aura did not catch on to improve their unit. Based on research, most of their consumers were Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Aura had no interest of plans to advance their technology invention to produce them wireless.
[0009]My device was discovered by accident during a movie production. It was created as a piece of prop in the film to allow a deaf actress to feel her musician boyfriend's music through a "homemade" wearable speaker vest model made out of car speakers. The only disadvantage was the wires, which were in the way due to being attached to the speakers sewn onto the vest and the car speakers were heavy. However, the sensational feeling of the bass was effective.
[0010]As a deaf person, I enjoy music very much, so does the thousand and thousands of Deaf and Hard of Hearing people from all walks of lives. The inventor owned a mini-iPod, and do not get the same privilege that most hearing people do; listening and appreciate music on the road. So why don't we have some sort of "body-pod" where we can appreciate music by feeling the music on the go? Remember those days when street people would carry a "boom box" on their shoulder with the music blasting? The boom boxes are out! Now it's time for a new "ready-to-wear boom devices.
[0011]I became drawn to the idea to approach a new way to enjoy entertainment with fashion. The design of this product is to produce wearable speaker vests with removable sleeves that are to be combined with electronic components and other elements wirelessly with multifunction mechanisms. I saw an opportunity to market the innovative product when I release my movie in the near future.
[0012]Since ten years ago when Aura created the Virtual Reality Game Wear backpack, Technology has advanced. My plan is to introduce a fun, fashionable and entertaining transducer speaker vest/jacket for everyone to wear and to enjoy the comfort and convenience of going places wirelessly.
[0013]The Wearable Speakers Vest/Jacket is an innovative "ready-to-wear" design of the present invention that is the art of fashion, entertainment, sports, and urban trend. The device provides an alternative and convenient way of life to appreciate and feel the bass without the confinement to wires or plugs. The device is to be used with a connectivity outlet for the iPod, CD Player, PDAs, computer laptops, DVD Players, MP3 Player, and other kind of gadgets.
[0014]The vest/jacket will have several holding places fastened onto the fabric. The cloth will hold multiple flat panel speakers both front and back. The speakers will be connected to speaker wires, thereby linking to electronic magnetized cooper wires, which enable to speakers to work.
[0015]The vest/jacket will also contained sports wristwatches and bands, with Nylon strap, Velcro closure, or sewn in around the side of the armhole of the sleeves.
[0016]They are ideal as sportswear for cyclists, joggers, skateboarders, roller-bladers and so forth.
[0017]They will also come with reflectors, either on the side of the shoulder arms sleeves or on the back of the vest.
[0018]The device will also come with small speaker loop to be worn around the neck with a headphone either build inside the hood or worn externally.
[0019]There will be multiple pockets and pouches to store gadgets, keys, iPods, CD/DVD Players, small computer laptops, games, digital cameras, wallets, PDAs, removable speakers and so forth.
[0020]The speaker vest/jacket will all have transmitter and receivers built internally or externally of the vest for receptive to work with the remote wireless. They are the essential components used to operate its functionality with the headphone, speakers, and blinking reflectors.
[0021]There will patches under the elbow-level of the sleeves for blinking, reflections and protection from sports activity.
[0022]The speakers can be added anywhere, in the front or the back.
[0023]The idea is to seek a manufacturer or prototype company that will make them in a functionality form:
[0024]Wireless (battery operated)
[0025](Wi-Fi) based radio wave
[0026]Solar sensor.
[0027]The wearable speakers vest/jacket will come in all colors, style, designs, textures and comfort.
Who Will Benefit:
[0028]Deaf/HOH people, Urban group, Kids/Young people, African American, Latinos, Artists, Filmmakers, Street people, Computer geeksm, Rap artists, Singers, Outdoor people Musicians, and Athletes.
[0029]In summary, the idea is to allow anyone the free will to travel anywhere with the speakers vest/jacket with being connected or restrained to a plug.
[0030]We plan to also develop a mechanism that will allow Deaf people to enjoy this unit when they go to the movies. For instance, when they go to the movies, we want to design a prototype control dial button so they can set up the communicator to (M) for movie to activate the transducer to transmit and receive vibration without actually emitting audio noise or sound. Wi-Fi radio wave is an introduction to that idea.
[0031]If they want audio/music, they set up the control dial button to (A) for audio/music; they have the option of using a Cd Walkman, iPod, MP3 Player.
[0032]The goal is to make the speakers as flat as possible, with high-powered bass and lightweight as possible. I can see this device improve its elements over times as technology continues to advance.
[0033]All the speakers of the vest/jacket will have a transmitter and a receiver built internally or externally of the vest for reception to work with the remote wireless. These are the essential components used to operate with the headphone, speakers, and blinking reflectors.
[0034]There will be patches under the elbow-level of the sleeves for blinking, reflections and protection from sports activity.
[0035]Most of all, the greatest benefit of the vest of the invention is that it is charged overnight--like you would do to a massager chair with the option of using a remote control or a turn on button inserted on the vest. The same rule applies for cell phones, pagers, PDAs, computer laptops, digital cameras, and so forth. The speakers can be added anywhere, in the front or the back of the vest.
[0036]The idea is to seek a manufacturer or prototype company that will make the vest of the present invention in a functionality form.

[0072]An object of the invention is to provide the flattest, smallest, round or square speaker transducer possible (at least 1.5 to 2 inches and weighing less than 2 lbs.) with high ends, powers and sensation feeling that consumers can appreciate (wireless) and wear the vest on the go; anytime, anywhere and any place without restriction. The speaker transducer can be placed on the back of the vest with two main speakers on top left and right and with two additional speakers on the front of the vest above the chest line or below the torso line where the pouch pockets will be. We have all the options to place the transducers, however they need to be as light as possible and small as possible.
Wireless Transmitter/Receiver Speaker Vest
[0073](High-Fidelity Subwoofer Also Known as Transducers/Vibrator)
[0074]The accompanying drawings further describe the invention.
[0075]Some embodiments of the wireless wearable speakers vest of the invention are shown in FIGS. 1-7.
[0076]As shown in the drawings, the vest is a "THE POWER VEST" with features that includes:
[0077]Wearable speaker vest jacket with removable sleeves and wrist watch (wireless). See FIGS. 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, and 10b. Wearable speaker vest or jacket with headphones also known as "HOODPHONE OR HOODIES" (wireless), all in one design.
[0078]See FIGS. 11a, 11b, 12a, 12b, 13, 14, 15a, 15b, 16a, 16b and 16c.
[0079]Specialist Team
[0080]Design Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Audio Engineering.
[0081]The inventor has two brothers who are field and electronic Engineers. Consultation received from them will greatly benefit us in developing several working prototype models, especially flat panel speakers that are light as possible.
[0082]TECHNICAL (RS-426 and DIN 120 ARE COMMONLY USED) (Expected to work after evaluation and testing:
[0083]Thiele-Small Lumped Parameter Model; Thermal Power Handling; Frequency Response; Displacement Power Handling--to check for distortion; Waterfall Response; Filtering; Integration; and Impedance.
[0084]Design the most flattest, most smallest, round or square transducer (at least 1.5 to 2 inches and weighing less than 2 lbs.) with high ends, powers and sensation feeling that consumers can appreciate (wireless) and wear the vest on the go; anytime, anywhere and any place without restricts. The speaker transducer can be placed on the back of the vest with two main speakers on top left and right and with two additional speakers on the front of the vest above the chest line or below the torso line where the pouch pockets will be. We have all the options to place the transducers, however they need to be as light as possible and small as possible.
[0085]Redrock Acoustics is our main interest and reliable speaker-designing source that we'd like to collaborate for the design of the vests/jackets. Their 20 years of experiences of transducer design from Ribbon Tweets to high power subwoofers aim to meet the high demand needs of their clients.
[0086]The best acoustical products begin with a root understanding of how transducers function and end with strict quality assurance. Redrock Acoustics has some of the most sophisticated test equipment available, and in cases where commercial gear was not available, they designed their own. They are based in Tempe, Ariz. and they have the ability to perform qualitative tests that define every aspect of a speaker's performance.
[0087]We are convinced that we will find the smallest, powerful and round or square speakers.
[0088]Design lightweight ski typed vests to wear for hours as well as comfort fitting as shown in FIGS. 17a, 17b, 17c and 17d. We will experiment and test a variety of vests from soft foam core, sturdy nylon, Neoprene, or polyester fabrics to see which emits more bass power and sensation from the transducer.
[0089]Then insert wires inside of the vest and test the power of the speakers (see FIG. 2).
[0090]To design a non-auditory transducer instrument (the kinds that could be use with gaming consoles such as PlayStation2 or Xbox--without disturbing anyone else. This idea introduction approach is ideal for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people.
[0091]To design a full-throttle sound transducer instrument without disturbing others (for non-deaf people.
[0092]Design a battery operate charger to charge the vest power.
[0093]Built-in amplified transmitter/receiver.
[0094]Design a wireless transmitting/receiving or Wi-Fi radio wave coordination, battery operated power and Solar Sensor functionality. We will test which benefits better wirelessly, and or whether transducer speaker will work well with Wi-Fi ready. Although, interference may be a problem for Wi-Fi system causing delays in communications in several Wi-fi machines since its fairly new. It is a new form of introduction to try this method and we do not know if the strength of the Wi-Fi communication can carry the power of the speakers.
[0095]Design a remote control for the vest/jacket with multifunction for multimedia functions for a wireless battery operated: CD player; Walkman; Fm/AM Radio; DVD player; Home Entertainment Unit; Games; Television; Movie theaters; Laptop; Computer; and Headphones.
[0096]Built-in control dials (i.e., switch off/on) like turning off a cell phone or pager inside the transmitter and receiver buttons on the vest. See FIGS. 1 and 2. The idea is to get the remote control and the on/off control dials on the vest to communicate with each other.
[0097]The biggest challenge there is "how do we get the speaker transducer vest (sound or no sound) to work with the multimedia entertainment technology without wire connectivity?"
[0098]Design a DVD/CD pouch pocket on the vest/jacket for easy carry around.
[0099]Design connections: Cables insert to TVs, VCRs, CD and audio systems through the supplied connecting cord and plug adapter to preserve or charge battery power.
[0100]We are prepared to design all the connections/plugs for multimedia entertainment equipment. For example: the power of the transducer vest is charged, and you're ready to go. You are ready to plug a cable of an iPod or a CD walkman into the vest plug socket. You can put them in one of the pouch pockets. You're set to go! There, you have your bass and your music rocking your body as you go in for coffee or take your dog out for a walk. You could also plug in your headphone to keep sound from coming out.
Additional Features
[0101]Volume controls (for audio/sound options); Added voice coil but must be low frequency to induce high fidelity bass; Built in radio (FM/AM); Design removable vest sleeves and design sport; Wristwatches on one of the sleeves; an Built-in wireless superbass headphone to be sewn inside the hood or out.
Headphone Details
[0102]See FIGS. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16. FIGS. 13 and 14 in particular show the invention. Design a built-in HOOD-PHONE (speaker headphone) ideal for skiers, joggers, cyclists, and outdoor athletes. Design a lightweight waterproof foldable headphone inside the hood. Create an open-air or compressed design that lets you continue to hear ambient sound. 30 mm diameter drive units. These internal drivers are larger than on many other portable headphones, resulting in deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range. Frequency response extends down to a low 18 Hz. 90° transmission angle (maximum) for uninterrupted listening as you move around the room. PET diaphragms: ensure high rigidity for minimum distortion; low mass for extended high-frequency response out to 22,000 Hz. Wide headband: with a separate self-adjusting band conforms precisely to the curve of your head; stays comfortable, even after listening for hours on end. Mute function: to avoid noise through the headphones; cuts out the sound when no audio signal is available. Automatic power switch: for both the headphones and transmitter conserves battery life; when the transmitter senses an input signal, it turns on; the headphones turn on when you place them on your head.
[0103]Additional features are: Single volume control: in one earpiece conveniently adjusts the volume for both channels; Built-in antenna for better reception (wireless-Wi-Fi ready); and Build an infrared technology less prone to Interference.
[0104]Unlike most other cordless headphones, which typically use radio frequency signals, these headphones use infrared technology. This makes them less prone to interference from other household items that use radio frequency technology, like cordless phones. Plus, multiple LEDs provide an extended 24' coverage range (line of sight).
[0105]Type--Open-air or compressed, Dynamic, Cordless
[0106]Drive Unit--20-40 mm
[0107]Frequency Response--18-22,000 Hz
[0108]Power Requirements--DC 1.5V, 1 NiCad Rechargeable Battery (supplied) or 1 AA battery (optional)
[0109]Battery Life--Approx. 23 hours with supplied NiCad battery; approx. 45 hours with optional alkaline battery
[0110]Recharging Time--Approx. 24 hours
[0111]Supplied Accessories--Rechargeable NiCad Battery NC-AA-HJ
[0112]AC adapter
[0113]UniMatch plug adapter
[0114]Connecting cord.
[0115]Weight--Headphones: 6.3 oz. (180 g), (including battery)
[0116]Transmitter: 4.4 oz. (125 g)
Headphone Transmitter
[0117]Power Requirements--AC 120V, 60 Hz when used with supplied AC power adaptor, which connects to the DC 9V jack
[0118]Audio Input--Stereo L/R phono plugs; supplied 3-foot connecting cord goes from stereo mini plug or phone plug to L/R phono plugs
[0119]Expect effective Range--24 feet 10 feet
[0120]Power On/Off--Automatic On/Off switch.
[0121]We will design and test the strength of the bass power far greater than what the normal frequency ears listens to music or sound since most Deaf people like more bass coming from the headphone. It will be designed for Deaf people only.
[0122]The purpose is to give them vibrating bass enhancement provides extra power without extra volume needed.
[0123]Current designs (photo samples) are still in early stage of development. It was use as props for a movie production. Again, we saw a greater market opportunity for the speaker vest.
[0124]Therefore, we believe as the product and the technical develops with the participation of engineers in the expertise in electronic and magnetic, it is our intention to seek a manufacturer that can make them as flat as possible to wear wirelessly.
[0125]In conclusion, the above description and examples should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention. Many other variations are possible. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is determined by the claims and their legal equivalents.

This trip is part of a self-study course I am writing for my MBA, called "Integrating Technology into a Developing Economy's Educational Curriculum." One of my major objectives is to leave the school with some resources for teaching the kids to speak English. Understanding English is an important skill to have, as it often leads to some of the best-paying jobs in the country—tourism. The city of Siem Reap is the home of the famous Angkor Wat and surrounding temples, and about a million people come to see them annually. To get a job in one of the luxury hotels that are popping up all over the place, the kids need computer experience and knowledge of English. I want to Establish an Interactive English Learning Lab there in Wat Bo, which offers basic conversational English learning with computer-based software I am writing, complete with audio instruction and commentary in Khmer.
To get jobs in the tourism industry, kids need two skills: computer proficiency, and basic conversational English. The interactive English Learning Lab accomplishes both of those missions. Here is a screen capture of the Interactive English Learning Lab:
All the words, as well as the individual letters, are clickable, and take advantage of the fact that .wav audio files will play directly inside Internet Explorer without any plug-in, visible controls, or delay. So, when someone clicks on a word or a letter, the sound plays instantly, creating an interactive, self-paced learning tool. The sounds are preloaded and embedded in the page, which makes the pages load slowly. There has to be a better way: if any fellow techie out there knows of a better way to play audio interactively on a website, please let me know. Maybe version 2.0 can correct the slow load time...
I realize, as you may, too, that the view you are seeing above is not going to be much help to someone who cannot speak English. I will have a Khmer speaking person translate the directions and those will be provided as audio files as well. The "def" feature you see next to some of the words will be expanded so it appears after every word, and when clicked it will play an audio file that provides a Khmer translation for the English word. I dabbled with printing the words in Khmer script, but that was scrapped when I realized that to turn on Khmer is to turn off Roman letters; the two don't mix on a computer. (A lesson I learned in a most heart-dropping manner when I attempted to install a Khmer font on my system and all of the sudden I had boxes all over the place instead of English characters! Good thing I am so familiar with Windows dialog boxes and icons because if I wasn't I would have had to re-format my computer.) So, unless everything is Khmer, it turns into a big mess.
The Interactive English Learning Lab is a web browser-based software, but it runs without Internet connectivity. Ideally, I would have liked it to be a website, but I didn't want to miss my delivery if the school did not get the DSL connection in time. Furthermore, even if Wat Bo gets the Internet we may not give it to the kids right away, at least not until we can devise a plan to keep them safe from predators. Future editions may run online, but this first edition runs on the computers in the lab at Wat Bo.

CALM (Child Abuse Listening Mediation) is proud to announce that it has been recognized as a Gold Level Participant by the GuideStar Exchange, a program that encourages nonprofit transparency and allows organizations to supplement the public information that is available from the IRS, and to communicate directly with stakeholders.
The Gold Level is GuideStar's highest level attainable, and is awarded to nonprofit organizations that demonstrate a commitment to transparency and accountability. This year, 2,106 nonprofits received Gold Level recognition, out of more than 1.8 million nonprofits in the United States.
"As a nonprofit organization that relies on the generosity of grants and private donations to continue our mission to end child abuse and family violence, we understand the importance of transparency to our constituents, and recognize the value in GuideStar's program," said Cecilia Rodriguez, CALM's executive director. "We leverage GuideStar's platform to share a wealth of up-to-date information with our supporters as well as GuideStar's extensive audience of nonprofits, grant makers, individual donors and the media."
The GuideStar Exchange is the only program of its kind, with more than 10 million annual visitors and partner sites include Facebook Causes, Network for Good and Change.org. Various donor-advised funds pull information from GuideStar, thereby expanding the reach of nonprofits to many more potential stakeholders.
"GuideStar is a critical tool that individuals and foundations refer to when researching nonprofits, providing important financial reporting and IRS compliance history," said Michael Williams, CALM's chief financial officer. "Only 2 percent of GuideStar's 1.8 million participating nonprofit organizations have achieved 'medal status,' so CALM is very proud to be one of the very few nonprofits in Santa Barbara to have achieved the very highest 'Gold Level' status."
— Jennifer Zacharias is a publicist representing CALM.

Can we see that aikido is all over the place in MMA?

Re: Can we see that aikido is all over the place in MMA?
Jon Reading
Well, I don't know about "separating" the art. What I am thinking about is looking at the parentage and drawing from the larger education of aiki, rather than the child art of aikido. Much in the same fashion as algebra, while a distinct form of math, still relies of the foundation of a mathematical education. In this sense Lee's comments are accurate - aiki is old stuff; we are not "inventing" anything. More likely, we are re-discovering an education process. There could very well be a reason the processes dissappeared - they may not be better than the aiki-do process.
I think this is a problem for the aikido community because I think there is a practicing segment of the community that is not practicing aikido with aiki. Drawing upon that larger education will therefore be impossible. I think this was part of the problem the early shihan encountered - the task of educating new students in aiki without the significant training background from which many of the early shihan came.
I think MMA is developing very fast. Most fighters share experience in the same arts - kickboxing, wrestling, ju jutsu, etc. They are branching into other arts to see what can be useful. Karate and judo are [relatively] new comers to the sport. One trick can win a fight... sometimes a big fight. If it works, they will come...
I really think it would be better if you guys developed a new vocabulary and really did just say "Hey we've studied some deep martial arts and we're putting together a way to work on these things in the modern world." What you are doing is new. I think sometime in the next ten years you will realize that anchoring yourself to Aikido is holding you back.
To the extent that aiki is nothing new, you could look at it as a single tool in a larger toolbox, or you could look at it as a high-level teaching that should sit atop a rather large pyramid. as in many of the koryu jujutsu systems. In the older jujutsu systems, it is an inner secret, but not necessarily the
organizing principle
of the system. Aikido's problem is that aiki IS the organizing principle of the system, BUT ITS ALSO THE INNER SECRET. Which is presented directly and openly, but most people completely miss, because they have nothing at the bottom of their skills pyramid. (hmmm maybe that was why Osensei reputedly only took students who were already advanced in other arts).
So Aikido as developed by Kisshomaru etc fills in the mass of the pyramid with ukemi training, softened jujutsu technique, bits and pieces, oh and a spiritual center about getting through life resolving opposing forces non-destructively. It seems like the new IP movement tries to make aiki the bottom of the pyramid itself.
I am not going to pretend that this isn't a fascinating idea. I think hanging onto the bits of Aikido and Daito ryu framing is going to hamper your work. There is certainly this dynamic where anytime you boost what you are doing, you seem to be putting down what Aikido people are doing, which I don't think is your intention, at least not most of you.

Rest calls go through channel different from your typical desktop/browser storefront where the normal Login Timeout does not necessarily apply. In the case that your Rest calls originate from a mobile device (phone, iPad, etc.) this channelId is typically -6. To specify a session timeout for this channel, add -6 to the ExpiryManagement element of the BusinessContextService in the <instance>.xml. The block would look like this after the change:
<ExpiryManagement ExpiryMgmtChannelId="-4, -6"
InactivityTimeout="15" Threshold="15" enable="true"/>
Otherwise, the channel ID will default to -1 by the underlying logic. In this case you can add -1 to this element:
<ExpiryManagement ExpiryMgmtChannelId="-4, -1"
InactivityTimeout="15" Threshold="15" enable="true"/>
The lease time of the session in minutes. The session remains active within this time. In the sample configuration, for example, the lease time is 15 minutes.
The allowable time in minutes to renew the lease. If a request comes in within this threshold time and after the lease time, the lease on the activity is renewed. In the sample configuration, for example, the threshold time is 15 minutes. Therefore, the activity remains active for 30 (15 + 15) minutes.

THE thought of being governed by an all-wise, loving God may seem appealing, yet unrelated to the realities of day-to-day existence. When circumstances claim to wield authority in our lives and to force us into certain directions, God can certainly seem distant. But God isn't distant, precisely because He is God. He is omnipresent, supreme Spirit, who governs His creation wisely and maintains man's freedom. The challenge is to discern and prove this.
A limited, materialistic sense of life can't perceive the reality of God's nearness. But spiritual receptivity, something we can all cultivate through humble prayer and greater purity, does comprehend God's love for man and the tangibleness of His blessings. And this opens the way to progress. It enables us to gain at least some degree of dominion over the circumstances that would imprison us. Regardless of the severity of a situation, the spiritual fact of man's inseparability from God does have authority over the impositions of carnal thinking.
In many countries people feel limited by repressive forms of government, by the injustice that misguided systems would impose on innocence. What can they and we do about it? Clearly, we all need to place our trust in a higher form of government. We need to realize that despite unjust policies, each individual has a relationship to Almighty God that supersedes all others. And that relationship, by its very nature, carries with it liberty. So even in the face of hopeless injustice, individuals can begin to find freedom.
''The kingdom of God is within you,''n1 Christ Jesus taught. To begin to trust this fact, to hold to it in prayer-to insist on it-is to begin to feel its reality. Individuals can, even if gradually, find peace within and a certainty of God's power. And this must be followed by a greater experiencing of freedom. We may not know how this will come about in a particular instance, but we can trust in the fact that ''the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.''n2
n1 Luke 17:21.
n2 Isaiah 33:22.
The understanding that man is governed by God is vital to all of us, whatever our nationality or race, whatever our circumstances. Do we, for example, feel dominated by a friend or relative? Or by an employer? Do we feel victimized by a particular sin or by a relentless physical condition? If so, a step toward freedom can be taken as we insist that absolutely nothing can separate us from God's government.
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes: ''Man is tributary to God, Spirit, and to nothing else. God's being is infinity , freedom, harmony, and boundless bliss. 'Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.' ''n3
n3 Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 481.
We're not, in truth, victimized mortals, tributary to other mortals. We're not fragile personalities at the mercy of some tyrannical condition. We belong to God, are subordinate to God alone, because man is God's immortal, blessed offspring. Worldly thinking denies this, but worldly thinking, the carnal mind, is aliar.
A major factor, then, in humanity's release from tyranny is the recognition that man can't be separated from his creator. God alone governs us, is our very Mind. Wicked influences have no true intelligence. They have no divine authority, no kingdom. Their ultimate self-destruction is therefore assured, and we can all take part in proving this. DAILY BIBLE VERSE Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever. Isaiah 26:3, 4

When Palm Beach County commissioners, citizen group leaders and representatives from the building industry mingle with key legislators at the exclusive Governor`s Club Tuesday night in Tallahassee, the message will be short and to the point:
``Let us have the opportunity to deal with our growth,`` County Commissioner Karen Marcus said. ``Don`t let us drown in it.``
The gathering was arranged because two bills the County Commission wants passed this session appear bogged down: a real estate transfer tax for state road improvements in the county and a one-year, 1-cent sales tax hike for new court facilities.
Voter ratification in November 1986 would be required in both cases.
Marcus and County Commissioner Jerry Owens flew to Tallahassee April 10 to meet with legislators on those issues. Yet both bills appear headed for a delay until spring 1986 to allow a yet-to-be-appointed state committee study taxes and infrastructure.
Regardless, Marcus said the meeting Tuesday is worthwhile.
``We only want them to continue to listen to us and hear our story,`` she said.
Part of that story dates back a year ago, when County Commissioners Ken Spillias and Dorothy Wilken seriously considered requesting a moratorium on building permits or rezoning applications west of Boca Raton due to citizen complaints about road overcrowding.
A special task force headed by Spillias was formed and came up with a $561 million road-funding package to aid the growing area.
Three months ago, citizen activists and building industry leaders in Palm Beach County stood before the County Commission supporting the multi-source tax program to meet road needs through the year 2000.
The joint plea for taxation -- ``unprecedented,`` according to County Commission Chairman Ken Adams -- led to unanimous commission approval for the program, which includes a 2-cent per gallon increase in the gasoline tax, higher road impact fees and additional property tax dollars.

I had wiped my drive clean before the upgrade (ya, I now know that was unnecessary Now, when I try to use the Application Install DVD that came with my MBP it won't mount. The drive takes the DVD, spins it up and down a few times, then shows 'Untitled DVD' on the desktop that when opened is blank. Other CD's and DVD's work fine. I've tried using an Optical Drive Cleaning Disc, confirmed that the CDs, DVDs and iPods option is enabled in Preferences, re-setting the SMC and even setting the date back to 2009 for Disc Permissions (or something like that Is there a solution?

Just in time to see us before we returned home, our oldest son, Tighe, flew in to Amsterdam on a business trip and was able to join the family for a visit before getting down to work. It was such a wonderful time, and I loved hearing the girls count down the days before Uncle Tighe's arrival. They adore him, and it's no wonder why. He's so willing to get down on their level and play, almost tirelessly. Most importantly, he loves them back in the same way.
He had his arms and lap full almost from the moment of his arrival, it seemed, whenever he sat down. Standing up, someone was climbing one of his legs or dancing around him. Uncle must sound like a word of delight to him, the way their sweet voices sang it out.
Our time with the family was sweet, and here's a short slide show to share some of our favorite photos of those days.

Prisoners getting high as fake cannabis epidemic spreads through jail
A NICK is going to pot because of a fake weed epidemic.
Lags are smuggling in cannabis- style legal highs "Spice" and "Black Mamba".
Two kilos of the mind-bending herb were seized earlier this month at HMP Ranby in Retford, Notts.
Crafty cons are using incense to disguise the faint whiff left in their cells.
There is little chance of being caught as drug tests cannot detect the cannabis substitute.
Up to 70% of inmates are getting high, sources told the Daily Star Sunday.
One said: "Virtually the whole nick is stoned.
"It's easy to get the stuff in. People throw it over the walls and the cons pick it up.
"There's virtually no smell so it's really hard to detect.
"Even people who don't normally smoke are on it. It's relaxing and makes being locked up a bit more enjoyable."
"Even people who don't normally smoke are on it. It's relaxing and makes being locked up a bit more enjoyable"Inmate of HMP Ranby
The Category C jail on an old Army camp holds 1,000 prisoners including lifers being prepared for release.
All cells have TVs and PlayStations and several have en-suite showers. There is a host of sporting activities on offer and even a snooker room.
Inspectors have already acknowledged a problem with Spice, inset, in their last report in 2012. But it is now an epidemic.
The report stated: "The random drug testing rate was low but drug finds indicated that prisoners were using substances like 'Spice', which did not show up on the tests."
It added: "There were high levels of drug and alcohol availability despite good efforts by the prison to address this.
"Almost a quarter said it was easy to get alcohol in the prison, compared with 4% in similar establishments, and there had been 75 finds of 'hooch' brewed in the prison in the previous six months.
"This had serious consequences for individual prisoners and staff – one man in segregation for possession of alcohol had lost his place on one of the best workshops and an almost guaranteed offer of a job."

Monday, 10 September 2012 06:45 AM
Two people were rescued from a sinking plane that crashed into the ocean off California's central coast on Sunday, authorities said.
The single-engine Cessna 185 was heading to Canada when the engine stalled, forcing the pilot to make an en emergency landing in the sea around 3:45 p.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer said.
The Coast Guard received a distress call at 3:06 p.m. from the plane whose beacon alerted rescuers to the aircraft's whereabouts, which was a mile offshore and northwest of Morro Bay, Petty Officer Rachel Polish said.
She said the beacon, which was hooked to an international satellite system that detects and locate distress calls, was key in getting rescuers to the scene quickly.
Coast Guard helicopters and boats from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Monterrey and Morro Bay were dispatched. Aircraft from several other agencies helped pinpoint the overturned plane.
Rescuers from a San Francisco-based Coast Guard helicopter ultimately hoisted the pair from the water, Polish said.
They were taken to Paso Robles, where they declined medical attention.
The plane got caught in a kelp field in the water, and it sank after the rescue, Kenitzer said.
The aircraft was registered to AirCapital Nevada Inc. of Carson City, Nev. An after-hours call to the business was not immediately returned.

To do so you will need an already activated AT&T Sim card. If the sim card has not already been activated, a.k.a, brand new sim card, it will not work. You may purchase one easily from eBay.
- Power on the iPhone
- Start iTunes on your computer
- At the Emergency call screen, insert the sim card into the iPhone.
- Connect the iPhone to computer via USB cable.
- Wait 2 minutes or so.
- It should get past the emergency call screen. If it does not, disconnect the USB cable and reconnect. It should work then.
- This works for iPhones from all carriers. If the iPhone was purchased from Rogers for example, you will need a used/activated sim card from Rogers.
- The sim card must NOT have a passcode over it. Otherwise it will not work.
- if iTunes prompts you for the billing address zip code and last 4 digit of SSN number of the iPhone owner, it means that the sim card is current associated with another iPhone. You will need another sim card to activate the phone.

The severe storm that raked across the state Tuesday night caused little damage in Central Arkansas, said Brandon Morris, deputy public information officer for the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management today.
The storm packed high winds, hail and possible tornadoes. Tornado sirens went off in Little Rock. One person in Arkansas was reported injured by lightning, according to the Associated Press.
Entergy Arkansas Inc. reported at least 9,000 power outages in several communities around Arkansas at the height of the storm, but Morris said Central Arkansas had only sporadic outages that were not widespread.
The Entergy website on Wednesday morning showed 73 customers in Conway affected by outages currently.
The storm likely caused some wind damage in Faulkner County, but "nothing major," said Capt. Matt Rice with the Sheriff's Office.
In Conway, Assistant Fire Chief Mike Winter said the worst of the storm missed the city. The northern half of the county got more rain, but no one reported damage in Conway, he said.
"Conway was good last night," Winter said.
Morris said Central Arkansas got lucky. But the county might not be out of the woods yet.
Faulkner County is under a warning for high winds between 15 to 25 miles per hour and gusts up to 35 miles per hour until 6 p.m., according to a Lake Wind Advisory issued by the National Weather Service early Wednesday.

For many years for New Year's Eve we've celebrated by having Nana over & opening bags each hour around the clock from about 1 or 2 onward. It's always been a fun way to spend some time together as a family & of course the kids really look forward to it. I'm pretty sure Nana does too, which makes it all that much more fun for those of us coming up with fun things to do.
Our bags are pretty much the same each year with swimming, cherry ice cream, pizzas, a board game, a movie, calendars for the new year, & a devotional for the new year. Sometimes we throw a few other things in like noise makers & a banner to hang up. Or a video game for the whole family to play. We still keep it pretty simple though.
This year instead of a separate devotional each I decided to pick the kids up matching Bible Studies we could do over the summer. These are more of Kay Arthur's Inductive Bible Studies which we've done some of this year. After looking at the various ones on offer I just really felt Jesus -- Awesome Power, Awesome Love was the one for us. Our books arrived the other day in the mail & got all excited. I often forget to order their devotionals until after Christmas & then play hot potato hoping they get here in time.
Each year we also give the kids, & Nana, a new calendar. I also pick one up for myself as well, all though Mr S gets as much enjoyment out of it as I do. We always give Jayden the Veggie Tales Calendar & Morgan gets the lovely Bible Society Calendar both of which I can pick up locally at Koorong if I'm in the city. We have a local shop that sells the Bible Society one too, & no matter where you get it they aren't more then $3 For ourselves we get the every awesome & funny Bible Tails calendar which is also available via Koorong. While down at the other end of the island a few weeks ago we stopped into the local Koorong down there & they had all 3 calendars on display so I snagged them up on the spot much to my delight & the shop keepers shock at my squeal followed by uncontrollable giggling. The one rule we all have is not peeking ahead in our calendars to keep the giggles fresh when we flip them over. So I've buried the new calendars in the closet & have to attempt not to lose them in our move. If you're interested in purchasing any just a quick heads up that Koorong is on the tail end of a 5 day sale where everything is on special!

With the advancement of technology in the finance world, one would have never thought that earning money too would become easy and that technology is going to totally change the face of Binary Options Trade. Who doesn't enjoy easy money? Everyone does. Most people in this world today have access to technology. So why not allow this technology to not only give us fine entertainment but help us generate that kind of wealth that we have always dreamt of.
Binary Trade Options is one such trading scenario where you can make this easy money. Like the name suggests; there are two options – Cash or Nothing and Asset or Nothing. This market is gaining a speedy momentum and does seem to attract many investors; old and young alike. Because of the ease with which one can generate wealth, this trade has become a haven for investors.
There have been some landmark advancements in this market but one major milestone is the conception of the Binary Option Robot. A real Robot that makes money for you while you are busy focusing on other things that demand your attention. The world is getting tough, people are very busy, there are so many unchecked items on your to-do list and so where is the time to sit and read, study, analyze the market to predict trends and market movements. Isn't it so much easier to have someone to do all the dirty, hard and tedious work for you while you get to enjoy the fruit of all of it? Seems impossible, doesn't it? But in reality, this is what the Robot does. It helps you become rich, if you allow it to do all the work for you.
Honestly, there are many such Robots (software) in the Binary Options Trade market today, they why choose this Robot? What makes it special and safe? We are going to look at a few features that would certainly display to you the benefits of opting for this Robot. Here they are;
- Use of a highly sophisticated and promising Algorithm: this software functions on the basis of an algorithm that is deeply investigated, analyzed and tested. The software doesn't just work on mere guess work but it has a solid backing of this sophisticated algorithm that makes this Robot not just a magical tool but a real, logical one.
- Flexibility: the Robot allows you to multitask. As you are busy completing other important projects, the Robot is busy too ensuring that your bank balance is multiplying. There are many ways the Robot can be instructed to function on your behalf. You could command the Robot by putting in your commands and parameters and the Robot would trade for you within those specified limits. Otherwise, if you are busy and have an agenda up ahead then you could allow the Robot to just trade for you and make money. The ease and flexibility with which you can trade is just remarkable.
- Leave the Emotions aside: it is perfectly normal to have our emotions get the better of us when we are trading in this type of a market. The markets are highly volatile and are subject to change in a matter of seconds. One has to be in a proper frame of mind, rational and focused to take a quick, prompt and wise decision. For this to happen, our mental state has to be sane. We are very emotional human beings and no matter how much we try, our personal lives always influence our professional lives. One's business traits reflect a lot about the personality of an individual. The Robot does away with this issue. It does not allow you sentiments to make some rash decisions that you would, perhaps, regret later on in life. It makes sound, emotion-free decisions for you that you cannot make at times.
- All can learn and grow: this Robot is designed in such a manner that everyone could benefit from it; you could be an amateur, expert, frustrated investor, pioneer or just a learner who is eager to grow. It caters to all and meets everyone's needs. That is the beauty of this Robot. It ensures that learning is a fun experience and helps us to understand that making money is not as difficult as it is always thought to be.
- It is Free: now, that seems like an advertising technique! But, it is not! It truly is free and without any terms and conditions applied. You do not have to pay at all to avail of this Robot. All that is required of you is to sign up using a username and password and commence trading in the binary market.
- Compatibility: one significant feature of this Robot is the compatibility with which one can trade. You do not have to take the trouble of downloading it on to your systems and phone. No lengthy and tedious procedures involved. Even if you choose to access the Robot everywhere you go, then simply access it with your Smartphone. They are designed to be compatible with your phones, tablets and systems. They have made the Robot while keeping the trader's convenience in mind. They sure meet that need!
- Security guaranteed: the software is extremely safe and genuine. You do not have to worry about anything at all. If losing out your money on account of you not checking in on the market is your concern, then you could just opt for the STOP LOSS option. Herein the trader sets a margin for the price, under which if the stock falls then the Robot automatically stops trading on your behalf, safeguarding any losses. Thus one need not worry about logging in time and again; just put in your commands and the Robot is eager to oblige.
After reading all of the above mentioned features, I am sure that you will not fall or believe the idea of it being a scam. They cannot be so focused on customer satisfaction if they were just a scam. Let the Robot earn for you and make your dreams come true.

The Verizon version of the Sony Xperia Z2 has leaked several times by now, but just in case you need a bit more evidence that the Z2 is Big Red-bound, the rumor mill is happy to provide it.
The folks at PhoneArena have gotten hold of a photo of Verizon's internal systems that show that the carrier is currently training its employees on the Sony Xperia Z2. Unfortunately, the image doesn't reveal any other details about the device or its launch.
Sony and Verizon haven't exactly been bosom buddies as of late, with mid-2011's Xperia Play being the last time that the two came together to release a device. The Xperia Z2 is a nice way for that drought to end, especially since the Z2 isn't available on any other U.S. operators.
Recent rumors have suggested that the Verizon Xperia Z2 could launch in the middle of the third quarter, aka sometime around mid-August. That's still around a month out, but if it is indeed the case, we should start to see more information on the device surface soon. While we wait, you can check out our video review of the international Xperia Z2 below!
