Infinite suns, innumerable worlds: a special event held in Rome
"Infinite Suns exist. Innumerable worlds orbit those Suns, like the seven planets orbit our Sun. These worlds are inhabited by living beings". With these words, in 1584 Giordano Bruno foresaw by centuries one of the most fascinating frontiers of current research in astrophysics, the search for extrasolar planets, and also because of this idea he was accused of heresy. Just in the same place where the great Italian philosopher was burned at the stake, the historic square Campo dei Fiori, the Planetarium of Rome presented a public event called "Infinite Suns, Innumerable Worlds" on 8 October from 8:30pm to midnight.

United Nations report for the International Heliophysical Year 2007 released
The book about the international aspects and achievements of the "International Heliophysical Year (IHY) 2007" can be regarded as a compendium of the fertile impacts of conducting research in this field. The main focus is international cooperation, which has emerged from this grassroots initiative. North and South, industrialised and developing countries have been coordinating their efforts and have been learning from each other in a mutual partnership under a joint understanding of sharing the scientific benefits. Through this, trans-border networks have been created and scientific as well as cultural exchange took place.

International Earth and Sky Photo Contest on Dark Skies Importance
Two global projects of the International Year of Astronomy 2009, The World at Night and Dark Skies Awareness, jointly organise the International Earth and Sky Photo Contest. Participating photographs should focus on TWAN style. Therefore the photos must combine some elements of the night sky (e.g., stars, planets, the Moon or celestial events) set against the backdrop of a beautiful, historic, or notable location or landmark somewhere in the World. They must show both the Earth and the Sky. This style of photography is called "landscape astrophotography". More information: http://www.twanight.org/newTWAN/news.asp?newsID=6029

a case study of the implementation of the EU eigth directive in Denmark 1984-2003Loft, Anne; Jeppesen, Kim K. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper analyses the complex process through which EU's Eighth Company Law Directive on the qualification of statutory auditors (1984) was implemented in Denmark. The Directive envisaged one group of 'statutory auditors' in each member state. However, in Denmark there were two groups of auditors: the state authorised auditors who had a long education and high status, and the registered auditors who had a shorter education, lower status and whose clients were mainly medium and small sized businesses. An exemption was made in the Directive to allow the registered auditors to continue to audit despite that they did not have the required 'university level' education. This made the issue of education central to the long-term survival of the registered auditors and it consequently became the object of a long conflict between the parties with an interest in auditor education and qualifications: the profession, the state and the educational institutions. This case illustrates the processes of audit regulation in a small European state with a highly developed economy where auditors are approved and regulated by the state but through processes heavily influenced by the profession. It provides an interesting contrast to other studies carried out on the implementation of this Directive, e.g. in the UK (Cooper et al, 1996) and in Greece (Caramanis, 1999), and perhaps some insight into the difficulties which may be encountered in implementing the new Eighth Directive proposed by the Commission in May 2003.

Abstract: Danske børsnoterede virksomheder overgik til internationale regnskabsstandarder pr. 1. januar 2005. Der skal således ikke længere foretages åremålsamortisering af goodwill, der til gengæld afløses af værdiforringelsestest. Såfremt den bogførte værdi af goodwill er større end genindvindingsværdien, skal der ske nedskrivning. Som en konsekvens heraf er resultat af primær drift for virksomheder med goodwill på balancen forbedret. Eksempelvis er Carlsbergs resultat af primær drift forbedret med 976 mio. kr. i 2004 som følge overgang til værdiforringelsestest af goodwill. Implementeringen af IAS 36 (impairment of assets) og IFRS 3 (business combinations) har således haft ganske store regnskabsmæssige konsekvenser for de netop aflagte årsrapporter for 2005. I denne artikel undersøger vi via en spørgeskemaundersøgelse, hvorledes danske børsnoterede virksomheder, der har indregnet goodwill, gennemfører værdiforringelsestest. Vi fokuserer på de tekniske problemstillinger, der er forbundet med værdiforringelsestest. Eksempelvis undersøger vi, hvorledes de børsnoterede virksomheder fastlægger en CGU og hvordan de estimerer kapitalomkostninger og terminalværdien ved fastlæggelse af genindvindingsværdien. Derimod adresserer vi ikke, om de foretagne skøn vurderes rimelige. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6747

Abstract: This paper examines if the level of voluntary disclosure affects the association between current returns and future earnings. Economic theory suggests that firms might find it advantageous to provide additional pieces of information (i.e., voluntary disclosure) to investors and analysts (Verrecchia 1983). Our results indicate that more voluntary disclosure does not improve the association between current returns and future earnings; i.e. current returns do not reflect more future earnings news. This finding raises the question whether voluntary information in the annual report contains value relevant information about future earnings or if investors are simply not capable of incorporating voluntary information in the firm value estimates.

Abstract: Adopting a survey approach, our study examines how firms implement impairment test of goodwill. We focus on how firms define and measure the recoverable amount of CGU. The survey includes 58 completed questionnaires representing 73% of the firms on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange that recognise goodwill in the balance sheet. Our survey generally supports that a common practice on impairment tests of goodwill has not yet been established. Based on our analysis it is difficult to determine whether this simply reflects that firms adopt an approach suited to their organisational and economic structures or if it exposes that firms are uncertain as how to apply a standard. The analysis also reveals that some of the methods used when defining a CGU are not in compliance with IAS 36. In addition, we find inconsistencies in the way that firms estimate the recoverable amount. Our analysis should be of interest to a number of parties including firms, financial advisors, auditors, standard setters and users of financial statements.

Abstract: 'Growth' as a concept is often not very well understood. Growth may be measured in a variety of ways (e.g., growth in turnover, earnings, earnings per share, assets, and shareholders equity). Investors and other capital providers generally find it attractive to invest in 'growth firms.' For instance, earnings per share (EPS) figures are widely published and used by investors. An increase in EPS is seen as a signal of improved profitability. Likewise, growth in earnings measures such as EBIT, EBITA, EBITDA etc. seem to indicate that firms are value creating. Our paper discusses if and under what conditions growth in accounting variables (accounting numbers and financial ratios) is value creating. We find that growth in one-periodic earnings measures does not necessarily create wealth for shareholders. Only growth in economic income is value creating. Our analysis also provide evidence that users of accounting information should be aware of the quality of growth and distinguish between growth based on transitory vs. permanent components of earnings. Our analysis finally documents that growth in earnings per share or return on equity caused by share repurchases has no economic significance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6750

an empirical analysisPetersen, Christian; Plenborg, Thomas (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Fair value accounting has become predominant in accounting as a vast number of IAS/IFRS standards are based on fair value accounting, including IAS 36 Impairment of assets. Fair value accounting for goodwill is technically challenging, since market prices are not observable. Thus, valuation technologies must be applied in order to test goodwill for impairment. While prior research on goodwill has concentrated on either the (dis)advantages for each accounting procedure for goodwill or examined the value relevance of goodwill (amortization) and goodwill write-offs, little effort has been devoted to the technical problems in the implementation of IAS 36. However, recent research on the topic document that firms commit a variety of errors in applying IAS 36 (Petersen and Plenborg, 2007). We examine firm characteristics that might explain the frequency of errors that firms commit in applying impairment tests. Our findings suggest that at least two factors might explain why errors are present – the lack of an impairment manual and not involving employees with rigorous experience in firm valuation. Our research, which might be seen as the fist step toward guidelines in applying technically challenging accounting standards, should be of interest to firms, auditors and standard setters.

Abstract: We explore the impact of stock pay and stock holdings on the pay to performance sensitivity in Denmark. Our research is motivated by the fact that most non-UK/US studies ignore stock based pay and stock holdings when measuring the pay to performance sensitivity. Further, most studies that explore the pay to performance relation apply the Black and Scholes approach assuming that the executive is both risk neutral due to hedge possibilities and well diversified. However, as pointed by Hall and Murphy (2002) executives are neither risk neutral nor well diversified. We adopt the certainty equivalence approach developed by Lambert et al (1991) to demonstrate that in a setting where executives are risk averse and undiversified there is a gap between the cost of granting stock options and the value, which executives receive from the same stock option program. Our findings indicate that the Danish level of pay is lower than in the UK and the US but more in line with the pay in other Scandinavian countries. Further, our results show that stock options are less frequently used to compensate Danish executives. On the other hand, stock ownership seems to be a more popular way to align the interests of the management and the shareholders than stock options. Furthermore, including stock holdings affect our four pay to performance sensitivity measures significantly. We also demonstrate that the pay to performance sensitivity is considerably lower than indicated by the Black and Scholes approach. Finally, the pay to performance sensitivity is on average smaller in Denmark than in the US. However, the pay to performance sensitivity seems similar in Denmark and the UK.

Abstract: Bonus plans have become a popular tool for compensating managers and employees. While other accounting studies on bonus plans typically focus on earnings management, for example by examining the association between cash bonuses and stock returns or the incentive for management to manage earnings, our study discusses specific issues that are relevant in designing and understanding bonus plans based on financial performance measures. Bonus contracts should be designed so they align the interest of management and owners. In practice, this is far more difficult than it sounds. We discuss issues that require special attention in preparing bonus contracts: Choice of performance measure(s), accounting issues, link between performance and bonus, and bonus threshold. Our study should be of interest to managers, compensation committees, investors and others interested in bonus plans. A proper bonus plan is essential to ascertain that management compensation is closely linked to management's ability to create value. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6740

Abstract: A lag seems to exist between management accounting techniques and management accounting practices of organisations (Bjørnenak, 1997a). The accounting lag exists in spite of the interaction taking place between academia and practice in terms of researchers conducting field studies and management accountants attending research-based courses before and during their careers in practice.

Abstract: This paper examines recent attempts to professionalize Danish public sector auditing by the establishment of a certification of public sector auditors known in Danish as Certificeret Offentlig Revisor (COR). The establishment of the COR-certification has led to a dispute over the public sector auditing jurisdiction between a coalition of public sector auditors and the professional bodies of the private sector auditors. The paper outlines the process that led to the decision to create the COR-certification, analyse the COR coalition's attempt to build a network of support for its jurisdictional claim of expertise, and discusses the general implications of the case for the ongoing attempt to create a European certification of public sector auditors. *) Paper presented at the 5th EIASM International Conference on Accounting, Auditing & Management in Public Sector Reforms, Amsterdam September 3-5, 2008 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6745

Abstract: We examine what determines executive compensation in privately held firms. Our study is motivated by the fact that most studies in this area rely on data from publicly traded firms. Further, the few studies that are based on data from privately held firms only examine a limited number of determinants of executive compensation. Previous studies also assume that the quality of compensation contracts is identical across executives. Based on unique data from our survey we create a quality index on each executive's bonus plan. We conjecture that the pay to performance relation is stronger for better designed bonus plans. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6751

Abstract: This study focuses on methodological errors that arise when firm valuation is carried out in practice. Violation of assumptions underlying the valuation models are examples of methodological errors. We analyze valuation spreadsheets from five Danish financial institutions (i.e., stockbrokers and corporate finance departments) in order to trace if firm valuation models are properly applied. We conclude the following: (i) Methodological errors often cause valuation models to generate estimates that differ significantly from the theoretically correct value; and (ii) Firm value estimates were biased due to a variety of methodological errors. The implications of those errors may be significant. Investors are exposed to poor recommendations. Financial institutions such as investment bankers and stockbrokers may be exposed to bad reputation and lawsuits. Accounting firms that do not carry out firm valuation correctly (for example in testing goodwill for impairment) also run the risk of litigations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6746

Further, the few studies that are based on data from privately held firms only examine a limited number of determinants of executive compensation. Our findings indicate that the pay to performance relation is weak. Board size and ownership concentration are the only corporate governance characteristics that explain variations in executive compensation. Executive characteristics like skills, title and educational attainment all explain variations in executive compensation. Contrary to our expectations we do not find a stronger pay to performance relation in firms with better designed bonus plans. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7958

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – After Austin Peay's Anthony Campbell
tied the game at 65 with six seconds remaining Tech's Kevin Murphy
took the ball the length of the court and sunk a buzzer-beating
3-pointer to lift the Tennessee Tech men's basketball team to a
68-65 over Austin Peay in the Dunn Center in the opening round of
the OVC Tournament. The Golden Eagles advance to the OVC
semi-finals to take on Morehead State on Friday at 8:00 p.m. on
"In those situations coach just wants us to play it out," Murphy said. "We work on those things in practice and I was just looking to get to the hole, but they left me open for the three so I took it. It was my first buzzer-beater and it felt good. Their fans were all over us all night so it was nice to quiet them at the end."
Elijah Muhammad gave Tech its slim 65-62 lead on a layup with 24 seconds to play. On APSU's ensuing possession Campbell missed a 3-point attempt with 13 seconds left. But he was able to corral his own rebound and bury his second attempt to tie the game at 65 with just six seconds to play.
The game went back-and-fourth throughout as there were four ties and six lead changes, but Tech never led by more than five points. The Golden Eagles owned the glass with a 33-23 rebounding advantage, including a 12-4 advantage on the offensive side which led to 10 second-chance points. Tech scored 36 of its 68 points in the paint.
Murphy and Alfred Jones paced the Golden Eagles with 18 points each. Murphy hit 8-of-16 shots from the field and also finished with four rebounds, two assists and two steals. Jones hit 9-of-11 shots, collected four rebounds and blocked two shots.
Muhammad finished the game with nine points, nine rebounds and four assists, while Frank Davis had nine points and four assists as well. Zach Bailey finished with three points, hitting a clutch 3-pointer that put Tech up 61-57 with three and a half minutes to play that silenced a would-be Austin Peay run that nearly erased a five-point Tech advantage.
"Tonight different guys stepped up for us, and it was a full team effort," TTU head coach Mike Sutton said. "We need everybody to click all the time, and that's what we got out of our guys tonight."
After shooting 38.5 percent in the first half, the Golden Eagles connected on 65.5 percent (19-of-29) shots in the second half and shot 52.7 percent for the game. The Golden Eagles struggled from the free-throw line, connecting on just 4-of-13 attempts from the line. Austin Peay shot 53.7 percent from the field for the game, and 55.6 percent (5-of-9) from 3-point distance.
Austin Peay built its largest lead of the game, a 41-33 advantage, with just over 13 minutes to play, but Tech would chip away before going on a 12-2 run to take a 54-49 lead with seven minutes to play.
The meeting was the third of the season between the Golden Eagles and Govs, and all three came down to the wire. Tech topped APSU 94-90 in Cookeville in January. When the teams met for the second time it was Austin Peay erasing a late deficit to force overtime and steal a 77-72 win.
Tech is the only road team to win an opening round game in this year's OVC Tournament, and advances to the semi-finals in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena (formerly the Sommet Center) along with No. 1 seeded Murray State, No. 2 Morehead State and No. 4 Eastern Illinois. Both semi-final games will be broadcast live on ESPNU beginning with Murray State vs. Eastern Illinois at 6 p.m. on March 5, and followed by Tech vs. Morehead State at 8 p.m. The OVC Championship game will be March 6 on ESPN 2.
"When we played at Morehead State I thought we had tremendous effort," Sutton said. "And when they came to our place I thought we looked good for 25 or 30 minutes, but not the whole game. It's going to take another great effort from our guys in that game."
The Golden Eagles advance to their first OVC semi-finals since 2006. Tech eliminated Austin Peay in the first round of the tournament that year as well before falling to Samford.
Tickets for the semifinals and finals are on sale at the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center until noon Thursday. Tickets may also be ordered online at TTUsports.com. The cost of the tickets is $20 each per session.
Tech students may purchase tickets for $5 per session with a valid ID. Student tickets will also be on sale at the Eblen Center until noon Thursday, or can be purchased at the Bridgestone Arena on the day of each game with a valid TTU ID.
Tech fans are invited to gather for a pregame celebration, sponsored by TTU Alumni Relations. The event will take place Friday afternoon at the Big River Grille, located on Broadway Avenue in Nashville. Times and additional details will be announced Wednesday.
On to the OVC semifinals: Murphy's buzzer-beater sinks APSU
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – After Austin Peay's Anthony Campbell
tied the game at 65 with six seconds remaining Tech's Kevin Murphy
took the ball the length of the court and sunk a buzzer-beating
3-pointer to lift the Tennessee Tech men's basketball team to a
68-65 over Austin Peay in the Dunn Center in the opening round of
the OVC Tournament. The Golden Eagles advance to the OVC
semi-finals to take on Morehead State on Friday at 8:00 p.m. on

Miley Cyrus' Fans Abandon Her — Is Her Career Over?
With no exciting projects on the horizon, we hope Miley takes the opportunity to host 'The X Factor' — her most recent movie was a HUGE box office bomb!
Miley Cyrus is a superstar, but it seems her fans have left her — her latest movie LOL has totally flopped!
Miley, 19, starred in the movie, which was released on May 4. Unfortunately, it only made $46,500 in theaters over the weekend, Yahoo! Movies reports — that's barely above the per-theatre average of The Avengers!
Perhaps this is why Miley has been jealous of her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's recent success — The Hunger Games certainly didn't have any trouble at the box office! Perhaps Miley needs to seriously consider taking The X Factor hosting gig while it's still on the table!
Do YOU think Miley's fans have abandoned her, HollywoodLifers?

From the ground, it looks like any other ploughed field, boggy in parts from recent rain. But viewed from the air and you can truly appreciate this masterpiece titled "Wish". It shows the face of an anonymous six year old Belfast girl, supposedly, "making a wish for the future ". Although how you can tell by looking into the face of this starlet I'm unsure. I was always under the assumption that you had to close your eyes to make a wish :D
Joking aside, it is an impressive piece of artwork by Cuban-American artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada. Made up from 2,000 metric tons of sand, 2,000 metric tons of soil & approximately 30,000 wooden pegs, it stretches out across 11 acres of vacant land right next to the Titanic Belfast Museum in the Titanic Quarter of the city.

DetailsNatural Gravity Morphs for Victoria 4 Elite Fantasia is a set of morphs that mimic the force of gravity on large breasts. Big breasts in Poser figures usually tend to grow perpendicular to the chest, which in the real world is impossible even with silicon implants. Breasts are soft and with some weight due to their size tend to move down attracted by the gravity force; they move down conforming the chest as they grow in size.
NGM for V4 Elite Fantasia is a great addition to Victoria 4 since it increases her power and versatility. Elite Fantasia looks is quite different from what you can obtain with regular morphs, but because of this extreme change of shape sometimes breast morphs like NGM for V4 don't work properly or give strange results when applied. This is why I made this set of morphs. Also because the Elite morphs work very nice when you mix them together, a NGM for Elite Fantasia was required so this mix could be more natural and give the results the Elite morphs deserves.
Now you can obtain the same gorgeous effect of NGM morphs on Victoria 4 Elite Fantasia.

Committee Opinion Number 480, March 2011
Reaffirmed 2017
ABSTRACT: Empathy is the process through which one attempts to project oneself into another's life and imagine a situation from his or her point of view. Most individuals do have an innate capacity to show empathy toward others. Empathy is as important to being a good physician as technical competence. However, at times the health care environment and educational process overly emphasize technological competence, curing disease rather than healing the patient, or the economic aspects of medicine. This may interfere with an empathic approach in the clinical setting. In this Committee Opinion, ...

But I don't know what it is. I'm a student and this is my first (university) class in Java programming.
Basically, what I'm trying to do is write a simple tip calculator. The trouble is with how my instructor wants it done. He wants the user to be presented with this as the tip types:
1- 10%
2- 15%
3- 20%
4- 25%
and have the user input 1-4 instead of, say, "15" or "0.15". We haven't really done any examples like this in class so I'm not sure how to assign the 1-4 to each percentage. Complicating matters (and my math) is that we can only use integers; no double or float. I declared my variables as;
int tipRate1 = 5 + (1 * 5);
int tipRate2 = 5 + (2 * 5);
int tipRate3 = 5 + (3 * 5);
int tiprate4 = 5 + (4 * 5);
and the base tip rate is 5 + tip type * 5. I know the math is right, but I'm not sure how to assign the values 1-4 AND the equation without listing the tip types twice- once to assign the base tip rate equation and again to assign the input value to it. Does that make sense? Is there a way to combine that into one line per tip type so it looks cleaner and more efficient?
The other thing I'm having trouble with is how to get the tip amount. I know I have to do something like this;
(foodBill + barTab)*100 to get the bill total in cents and then somehow get it to calculate the tip in the same line without using decimals. My instructor wants to output as, for example, "Your tip should be __dollars and __cents." I'm not sure how to turn it back into dollars and have a remainder, much less output as words and not just as a number.
Anyways, it's not due until Feb 1st, but I've spent a lot of hours working on it for the last week and I've finally had to break down and seek some guidance. I'm getting a tad frustrated and feel like there's a simple solution I'm just not seeing. If anyone has some suggestions to point me in the right director, that would be fantastic!

2001-2004 Ford Mustang
2001 • 2002 • 2003 • 2004
In a nutshell: This article is an overview of your Mustang's audio system and its upgrade options. Use our vehicle selector to find the gear that will fit your car.
Overview of the Ford Mustang
Who says public opinion doesn't matter? Back in the eighties, when Ford openly considered replacing the rear-drive Mustang with something sporty and (gasp!) front-wheel drive, the very large Mustang community responded with a very loud "We beg to differ." Or words to that effect…
Whatever they said, it worked. The "Mustang of the Future" went on to become the Ford Probe, while the Mustang of the then-present went on to another decade-plus of continual improvement and refinement. Considering that the basic chassis design dated back to the late seventies, the fourth-gen Mustang was a remarkably strong performer right up until its 2001-2004 swansong.
In the buying frenzy surrounding the all-new (but still rear-wheel drive) 2005 Mustang, a lot of people forgot all about these cars. Shame on them, but good for you, because 2001-2004 Mustangs still look sharp, handle well, and don't cost a ton of money. Better yet, there's a vast automotive aftermarket to help you make your coupe or convertible into the pony car of your dreams. If you're dreaming of adding a new stereo system to your older Mustang, you've come to the right place.

Factory stereo system
The Mustang's standard stereo was an 80-watt, 4-speaker system featuring an AM/FM/CD player that gained the ability to play MP3 files in 2002. The next step up was the Mach 460 system, which offered a 6-disc AM/FM/CD receiver with, coincidentally enough, 460 watts of stereo output pumping through a total of eight speakers.
Mind you, that's the peak power rating, not the more meaningful RMS rating, but that's still a ton of power for a "factory" system. The Mach 460's added power came from a pair of amps mounted between the rear seats and the trunk. The amps took care of the lower door speakers and rear deck speakers, while the front and rear tweeters ran off the stock receiver.
With ten speakers and six amps, the Mach 1000 system, which debuted in '02, was to factory audio what the old Boss 429 Mustang was to factory horsepower – wonderful, glorious, American excess. The trunk was a veritable stereo shop on wheels, two enclosed subs on the sides and the four amps that powered them lined up on a rack in the center.
Needless to say, the Mach 1000 produced a prodigious amount of power. An aftermarket system will sound better, especially after all these years, but Ford deserves massive credit for shoehorning a real hot rod of a system into this car.

Replacing your factory radio
Whether you have the base radio or the 6-disc version, removing and replacing your Mustang's factory receiver involves the same basic task list. It's not difficult, but it does require some patience. Be gentle on the plastic bits, and be sure to store the parts and screws in a clean, safe place.
To start, use a panel tool to pry out the front portion of the gear shift trim panel to release two metal retaining clips, then gently lift the trim panel to release two more metal clips. Hold the top edge of the trim panel and gently lift it out, releasing one plastic clip as you go. Disconnect the 12v power outlet's wiring harness and remove the panel.
Next, pry around the sides and bottom of the receiver/climate control trim panel to release four metal clips. Gently pry downward on the top edge to release two plastic clips. Pull it out enough to disconnect the harnesses at the bottom and remove the trim panel. Remove the two 7mm screws from the brackets under the factory radio, pull it out, disconnect it, and set it aside.
Detailed stereo and speaker removal instructions
Whether you choose a single-DIN or double-DIN receiver, you'll need a mounting bracket and a wiring adapter. When you purchase your stereo at Crutchfield, you'll save money on both.
You'll need to remove the DIN sleeve from the receiver, slide it into the opening in the receiver mounting bracket, then secure it to the bracket by bending the securing tabs. Slide the receiver all the way into the DIN sleeve, secure the rear support bracket (which will need to be adjusted up or down to engage properly) to the rear of the pocket/receiver assembly, and connect the receiver wiring adapter to the factory harness. Plug the antenna lead into the rear of the receiver, secure the assembly in the dash, then test operation and put your dash back together.
Tools needed: Panel tool, 7mm socket, socket wrench and extension, Phillips screwdriver
Note: If you hear a transient "pop" during turn-on/turn-off after you install a replacement receiver, it's probably because the Mustang's factory remote lead employs 5 volts, instead of the usual 12. To eliminate this pop, you'll need to install a 12-volt to 5-volt interface on the remote lead. The special adapter Crutchfield recommends for your Mustang will accommodate this voltage conversion.

Replacing your factory speakers
Installing a new set of speakers in your Mustang is a great idea in theory, but the reality of the situation depends on what sort of factory system you have in your Mustang right now.
If your Mustang is equipped with the base speakers, installing new ones is no big deal. In a lot of ways, the base system makes a better starting point for a quality aftermarket stereo build-up. It's certainly easier.
The Mach systems are hard to deal with. If you're only replacing the receiver, you're okay – unless you want to replace the speakers later, in which case you'll need to get into the dashboard again to rewire things.
On the other hand, if you want to replace the speakers, you'll need to replace the factory amps. That's because the front door woofers are wired in parallel and crossed-over to pump out nothing but bass. The rear deck woofers are wired the same way. The problem is that the Mach speakers are 8-ohm speakers and aftermarket speakers are rated at 4 ohms (or lower). They aren't compatible with the Mach amplifiers.
With most cars, we're happy to show you how to build a great new stereo system in stages, especially if you're on a budget. Alas, Mach-equipped Mustangs don't respond well to that sort of approach. It's more of an all-or-nothing kind of installation, unfortunately.
The Mach 460 system has tweeters in the sail panels (Crutchfield Research Photo)
Front speakers
Coupe: The standard coupe system was equipped with 4-ohm, 6"x8" speakers, which can be replaced by aftermarket 6x8's, or a set of 5-1/4" speakers that will fit using the adapter brackets included free with your speaker purchase.
The Mach 460, on the other hand, has a pair of 8-ohm 6"x8" component woofers in the doors, wired together in parallel. Most aftermarket speakers are 4-ohm models, which won't work with the Mach amplifier, so you'll need to install an amp with a low-pass filter to power the new woofers.
The factory tweeters, powered by the radio, are mounted in removable enclosures located in the sail panels. Many aftermarket tweeters will fit, but you'll need to fashion a mounting bracket to hold them in place. Our universal backstraps can be helpful here. There isn't a wiring harness available, so you'll want to use PosiProducts connectors to tap into the car's speaker wires.
Much of the same can be said for the Mach 1000 system. The main difference is the woofers, which are 5"x7" 8-ohm models. You can replace them with same-size models, or use an adapter bracket and mount a set of 5-1/4" speakers. Because of the impedance, you'll need to install an amp with a low-pass filter to power your new woofers.
You'll need to remove the door panels to get to the factory speakers. This isn't a tough job, but it's good to work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the parts and panels. Complete, illustrated instructions can be found in your Crutchfield MasterSheet™.
Convertible: All convertibles, regardless of stereo package, have 5"x7" front speakers that can be replaced by same-size or 5-1/4" models. Other than that, the info for the coupe also applies here.
Tools needed: Panel tool, Phillips screwdriver, stubby Phillips screwdriver, shop cloth
The Mustang coupe's rear deck speakers (Crutchfield Research Photo)
Rear speakers
Coupe: The Mustang coupe's rear speakers are located in the rear deck, so you'll need to remove the rear seat, side panels, and deck material to get to them. This isn't a complicated procedure, but it can be time-consuming, so work carefully and stay calm. Keep track of the various screws and pins you remove, and be sure to clear out a clean, safe space in the garage for the parts and panels. Complete, illustrated instructions can be found in your Crutchfield MasterSheet.
The standard system features a pair of 6"x8" speakers in the rear deck. Same-size replacements will drop right into the opening, or you can install a set of 5-1/4" speakers using the adapter brackets available with your Crutchfield speaker purchase.
In Mach 460 or Mach 1000 cars, you have the same choice of 6"x8" or 5-1/4" speakers, but this swap involves a little more work and commitment. The factory speakers are actually 8-ohm woofers wired in parallel. When you install new 4-ohm speakers, you'll need to replace the factory amp with an aftermarket model that has a low-pass crossover. The same is true for the front speakers, of course, so, again, your best bet is to replace all the speakers and speaker amps at the same time.
Tools needed: Panel tool, 8mm socket, ratchet and extension, stubby Phillips screwdriver, Torx T47 driver
Convertible: Mustang convertibles use a component system located in the rear seat side panels. There's not as much panel removal to deal with here, but take it nice and easy anyway. Any full-sized adult forced to sit in your Mustang's back seat will turn grumpy in a hurry, so you don't want to mess up your panels and give them something else to complain about.
The standard system uses 4-ohm speakers, while the Mach models are equipped with their usual 8-ohm equipment, wired in parallel. When you replace the Mach speakers with standard 4-ohm aftermarket models, you'll also want to replace the factory amp with a new amp that has a low-pass crossover to power the new woofers.
Some disassembly required (Crutchfield Research Photo)
All systems use 6-1/2" woofers, but the factory speaker uses a non-standard bolt pattern and you'll have to drill new mounting holes for your new speakers. You'll also need to create a bracket to hold the tweeters in place. Our universal backstrap is a great solution.
Drilling isn't that tough a task, but then again, you are drilling a hole in your car. Our best advice is to work slowly, wear eye protection and, of course, "measure twice, drill once." Set the replacement speaker in the speaker location and use it as a template as you mark the locations of the new screw holes. Remove the speaker, then use a 1/8" bit to drill the new holes.
Tools needed: Panel tool, Phillips screwdriver, 10mm socket, socket wrench and extension, Torx T20 driver, power drill and 1/8" bit
Shop for speakers that fit your Ford Mustang
The coupe's trunk gives you some space to work with (Crutchfield Research Photo)
Bass in your Mustang
Coupe: If you want to add more bass to your 2001-04 Mustang, you have plenty of options. The coupe's trunk offers a 35" W x 15" H x 34"/27" D space for a subwoofer box, so you can get pretty loud back there if you feel like it. Of course, if you have any interest in using the trunk for anything else, that's going to take up a lot of space. If you're looking for something smaller that has some power, you have several great choices. You'll still need to replace the amps in the Mach models, of course, but you probably know that by now!
The custom-designed JL Audio Stealthbox contains one 10", 2-ohm JL Audio sub in a slot-loaded, sealed enclosure. Covered in a gray material that blends in nicely with your carpets, it fits in the passenger's side rear corner of your coupe's trunk.
You can also select from a selection of MTX ThunderForms that fit neatly on the passenger's side of the trunk. The amplified ThunderForm contains a 10" sub and a 200-watt amp, while the non-powered version holds a 10" sub capable of handling up to 225 watts RMS. There's also an unloaded model that holds the 10" sub of your choice.
Convertible: The ragtop's trunk is less spacious, of course, at 36" W x 14" H x 18"/25" D. Since that's your only secure space for weekend luggage, we'd suggest a powered sub for this location. These compact models will boost your sound without taking up room you really don't have to spare.
Another way to give your convertible's sound quality a boost is a set of Q-Forms Kick Panel Pods. These enclosures hold your component speakers in an ideal position, angling them to maximize sound quality. Since the Q-Forms are located near your feet, the distance from your ears to each speaker equals out and creates a superior soundstage.
You'll need to cut holes in order to install your 6-1/2" component speakers in these enclosures. Adapter brackets, which you'll need to mount the speakers, are included with your Crutchfield purchase.
Shop for vehicle-specific subwoofers for your Ford Mustang
Other options for your Mustang
There are plenty of other ways to improve your Mustang. Here are just a few of the ways Crutchfield can help.
Depending on what else has been done to it over the years, a Mustang can be a rather noisy place. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but if you really want to get the best performance out of your stereo, you should consider a Dynamat 10435 Xtreme Door Kit. This heavy-duty insulating material is easy to install, and it really makes a difference. One kit should take care of your Mustang's long front doors. If you install an aftermarket subwoofer, you might want to line the trunk lid as well.
Installing a security system in your Mustang isn't easy (security systems rarely are), but it's definitely a good idea. Our Crutchfield Advisors can help figure out what you need to get the job done, but we usually recommend taking your car and new gear to a professional installer.

Scott from JupiterPosted on 12/9/2018
Jon, I have a 2001 Ford Mustang GT convertible with a completely stock Mach 460 sound system. Can you recommend a double din head unit that I can install without replacing any of the other components? I would like the unit to have Bluetooth with hands free calling capability. I don't need CD or DVD capability. Also, I'd like it to have rear view camera capability. Thanks, ScottJon Paul from Crutchfield on 12/10/2018Scott, We can help you with that, but you'll definitely want to talk to one of our Advisors about your stereo situation. I've sent your question to our sales team, and they'll be contacting you via email soon. For immediate help, you can contact them via phone or chat.

On April 10th, at Toyota Park it is time to strike! Strike the matches that light our BBQ grills for tailgating. Strike fear into the hearts of the few travelers from San Jose as they enter a sea of RED! The Chicago Fire will strike the match that will ignite the spirit of our city's soccer fans.
Chicago Fire soccer is officially back with OPENING NIGHT this Saturday and not a moment too soon! Take it from someone that was at the game last game of 2009 against now MLS champion, Real Salt Lake -- the suspense of those final moments could have only been heightened with a drum roll! Too bad "Conan O'Brien Show" drummer Max Weinberg didn't bring his set with him to the park. After the semi-final was decided by a penalty kick…this season couldn't start any sooner!
I've played soccer my entire life! I played throughout elementary, middle, high school and in College on club teams. So how did I arrive at this sport? If you grew up in a Jamaican household like mine, soccer (football) is most likely the sport you'll know before any other. This was my experience. Although I was exposed to many sports as a child I instantly recognized a certain level of passion that came with being part of the soccer community.
Whether watching Bob Marley play 'Keep Up' in a music video, out kicking with friends or hearing father scream at the TV, "KICK Di' #$@% baaall my yute!", I knew this game was special... Yah mon', it's a passionate sport and that passion runs deep through the island of Jamaica, the city of Chicago as evident through the Fire fans at Toyota Park, and most of our PLANET.
We Fire fans will start this season with some new features. You'll see a new
Chicago Fire scarf design, new player jerseys and even a few new faces on the
pitch! I recently got a chance to talk to our newly drafted goalkeeper from
UCF, Sean Johnson on the 'B96 Morning Show'. He is also of Jamaican descent
(Ya' rude bwoy!!!) and very aware of how special Chicago is. He's a big fan of
Canadian rapper 'Drake' and I'm already taking the steps to make sure he gets a
track played during the game on Saturday, JUST to make him feel at HOME at
Toyota Park!
So on Saturday come to the home of Chicago Soccer and grill a burger, fold a
taquito, lace up your boots and lets start the season! Shout out to SECTION 8!
The craziest most dedicated group of people in the sport!
We love our players, we love our city, we love our SOCCER!

How is the Bible true?
"Since many have undertaken," St. Luke begins his gospel, "to set down an orderly account of the events that have been fulfilled among us, I, too, decided... to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the truth concerning the things about which you have been instructed: (1:1, 3-4).
In a sense we are all "Theophiluses": lovers of God who seek the true God and want to know what kind of relationship God draws us into. So if scripture is one of the ways that communicates these truths, then it must also in some way be true. But how?
One reason Catholics and other Christians say the Bible is true is because it is revelation. Believing scripture to be revelation means that, if you wisely interpret it, you can trust it to tell you who God is and to what God calls humanity. In this regard, the Second Vatican Council's Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum) declares, "The books of scripture must be acknowledged as teaching solidly, faithfully, and without error the truth that God wanted put into the sacred writings for the sake of our salvation."
Another way the church considers the Bible to be true is because it is inspired. God did not so much guide the hands of the biblical authors as act on their minds and hearts to make known a message about God's activity in the world.
The process that produced the Bible was a dynamic one that occurred over time. The truth of scripture is also a process something we have to discover. Though scripture may be divinely inspired and guided, it is also humanly written, so readers of scripture need to take advantage of the best scholarly knowledge to understand the intentions of the original authors and translate the original message to their own situation.
Scripture is not handed to us on a plate in the form of a statement of truths or a collection of moral principles. "The Bible," as the Pontifical Biblical Commission wrote in The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church, "in effect, does not present itself as a direct revelation of timeless truths but as the written testimony to a series of interventions in which God reveals himself in human history."
Scripture helps us to "know the truth," in Luke's words, because it offers, through inspired experiences and authors, a trustworthy story of what we need to know about God and how God has entered human life. It's a story we, like Theophilus, can understand and believe.

Greenpeace awarded to the Japanese prime minister Taro Aso the "Not So Noble prize". The prize was delivered by Greenpeace to the Japanese ambassador to Sweden for Japanese government's achievements in "Weird justice". The award is a reaction to Japanese legal action against two Greenpeace activists who in May 2008 exposed the embezzlement of whale meat from the taxpayer-funded whaling fleet. Japanese authorities responded to the exposure by a politically motivated prosecution, arresting Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki. The trial is expected to begin early next year and both activists are facing up to 10 years imprisonment. The 40 activists that attended the ceremony also sent another message to Japan: If defending whales is a crime, arrest ME too!12/10/2008

I've taken a cursory look at the possibility of investing in real estate near where I live, with the intent of buying a property for rental. The numbers don't work well in my favor. I've confirmed this with friends experienced with renting their properties in the area; most would not do it again if given the choice. The small potential profit is not worth the extra effort and stress.
To make the numbers work more in the investor's favor, there's the possibility of purchasing foreclosed or pre-foreclosed homes. If you can get a significant discount on the price and minimize the out-of-pocket costs required to make the dwelling attractive, there's a better chance of making a profit. Buying a house in a distressed situation, whether from the buyer in a pre-foreclosed status or from the lender or bank once foreclosed, is not very simple. Auctions are attended by professionals, and the best deals are monopolized by the most experienced investors. It can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to break into the elite group of foreclosure investors.
Zillow is making this process a little easier or less expensive for the amateur investor. I've been a fan of Zillow for a while. The website, and particularly the iPad application, helps me easily find public information about any property. While driving around neighborhoods in which I might like to buy a house, either for myself or as an investment, I can get an idea about the cost of the home.
The application uses a map and GPS to locate the house of interest, and provides details such as a history of sales prices and Zillow's own market value estimate of the property. The application also identifies which homes are currently for sale and offers homeowners a chance to advertise their homes to potential buyers without officially putting them on the market. Of course, I don't actually use the iPad while driving.
Now, the website also indicates when a home is in a pre-foreclosure or pre-market status. This means that the bank has initiated proceedings to foreclose upon the property, but the home is not listed for sale yet. Previously, this information had been difficult to aggregate or has been kept away from the general public by services that require membership fees. Zillow's new feature brings a wider inventory of potentially better deals to more investors for free.
That doesn't mean, however, that it's going to be any easier for amateur investors — those without connections in the foreclosure real estate market in their location — to get better deals. Professional investors find pre-foreclosure deals within a day or two of the public filing, and with cash in hand and experience making deals, are often able to make the most out of the information they have. If Zillow's information is as slow as two days, the best deals might no longer be available. That doesn't mean it's not worth pursuing, because the deals one might find with Zillow might still be better than the deals one might find if you wait for a foreclosure auction.
Zillow's new development is bad news for companies who profit by charging membership fees to access an aggregation of public information. When a competitor comes in and offers customers the same information for free, the company that charges its customers must come up with a new business model fast or explain how their paid service is worth the price compared to the free service.
To feature foreclosure and pre-foreclosure listings, Zillow has introduced a foreclosure center, making it simple to search just for these deals without other listings cluttering the screen. A search in my ZIP code reveals a surprising number of pre-foreclosure properties within a mile. I don't have to walk very far to see fifteen homes Zillow has marked as pre-foreclosure.
Without walking around to see these homes, the pricing looks favorable. The estimated foreclosure prices seem to be 15 to 20 percent below Zillow's estimated market value for these homes, putting these properties in the "good investment" range based on that information alone. Of course, if these properties need a significant amount of work, the value as a potential investment decreases.

AMERICUS - Sometimes you can only hold off the enemy for so long. That was the case for the Georgia Southwestern women's soccer team on Saturday afternoon at Hurricane Field. After holding Lander University to one goal in the first half, the visiting Bearcats unleashed three scores in the second half to hand the Lady Hurricanes a 4-0 Peach Belt Conference loss.
Casey Black found the back of the net twice for Lander and Nina Morales assisted on a pair of goals to lead the Bearcats (5-0, 1-0 PBC).
Lander finished with a 12-2 shots on goal advantage and 15-2 margin in corner kicks.
Elyse Gowan played the opening half in goal for the Lady Hurricanes and saved five shots. Vanna Lucke stopped three in the second half.
Katie Lyle saved two for Lander. She has not allowed a goal through five matches, playing 390 minutes between the pipes.
Southwestern (0-6, 0-2 PBC) steps out of conference play for a 4:30 p.m. midweek match on Wednesday at Thomas University.

Grumpy Cat's™ Odor Eliminator does not simply mask or act as a temporary cover-up for unwanted odors. Instead, it uses 100% USDA-certified organic ingredients including Yucca schidigera. This plant has been used as a cleaning product and in more recent times to reduce ammonia levels, which are the leading cause of unwanted odors.

Yuvraj! – Yes, You can!
When I follow cricket as a news and live my life with two ardent cricket fans, it is inevitable I know Yuvraj to some extent – I identify his name with these adjectives – young, energetic, loving son to his parents, raring to make more of life and cricket………… and ofcourse, he is known in the Bollywood circuits also!
It was such a shocking piece of news when I heard it – " Yuvraj has Cancer"
Knowing as much (actually, as little) as I know about Yuvraj and his family with my as much knowledge about the "big C" disease, I can certainly empathize with what he and his family are going through. While it makes it challenging for anyone to go through the deadly big 'C', it is even more challenging to be in the prime of your life and being knocked down by this big C for no fault of his! Especially, knowing how his mother will be feeling now…………….I was really sad. While I completely appreciate the philosophical "Life is just a journey", this news still left me with an uncomfortable feeling.
And today morning, I was looking into Yahoo news and this is the link I got…………….the Cricket Vs Cancer ………made me feel positive and hope that for Yuvraj, the ONLY big C in his life will be the C in Cricket – if all the cricket fans and their family across the world can wish him and support him with their prayers for a minute – there definitely will be a miracle.
So, here is the wishing from me and the sincere hopes – "Yuvraj, Yes! You Can!" !! The Big C in your life is ONLY the BIG Cricket!
Join me in taking this HOPE statement (Yuvraj, Yes You Can!) across the globe to Boston!

Diebold/Premier's Equipment and Software Must Be Immediately and
Permanently Decertified and a Criminal Investigation Launched
As A Result Of The
California Secretary Of State's Findings and Diebold/Premier's Own Admissions That Its Voting Systems Do Not Meet
Federal Standards, Velvet Revolution Calls on the Company to Return the Well Over $100 Million in Taxpayer Funds
Spent by Californians on Failed, Faulty Voting System Hardware and Software
California officials recently revealed that ALL of Diebold/Premier's voting systems violate federal certifications
guidelines!* These systems illegally do some or all of the following::*
Yet Diebold falsely claimed to meet all federal voting system standards. Accordingly, we demand that:
1) DIEBOLD: RETURN OUR MONEY!: Diebold/Premier has accepted well over $100 million in county, state and federal taxpayer funds for services which the company knew it could not perform. With California's
devastating budget shortfall of $ 45.5 billion dollars, we demand the return of these funds from Diebold. The purchase
price for hardware, software licenses, and maintenance fees should be returned to the State within 90 days. If Diebold's
announced sale to Election Systems and Software becomes final, California must be fully reimbursed instead from ES&S.
2) SOS DEBRA BOWEN: DECERTIFY DIEBOLD!:, Diebold/Premier products, currently used in 20 California counties,
violate federal voting system standards and must be immediately and permanently decertified by Secretary of
State Debra Bowen.
3) AG JERRY BROWN: PROSECUTE DIEBOLD!: California's Attorney General Jerry Brown must immediately launch a
comprehensive criminal investigation into Diebold/Premier's knowing use and sale of faulty election systems that
have undermined our elections. Further, unless Diebold/Premier, within 90 days, refunds to California all
monies paid for its fraudulent software and equipment, we call on the State of California to file suit against
Diebold/Premier seeking the return of funds for breach of contract and fraud.
Velvet Revolution has been calling for accountability and transparency from electronic voting companies since
launching its "Divestiture for Democracy" campaign in
2005. We are now putting all such companies on notice: Across the nation, we are fed up with false promises, shoddy
and faulty voting systems, and continued knowing violation of the law. We demand accountability and we insist
that public officials enforce their contracts and applicable federal and state standards!
Our election system has been dangerously compromised. 'We the People' will not tolerate compromise on our freedoms,
our liberty, our democracy. We will not compromise on our insistence that companies receiving taxpayer money act
transparently and honestly.
Send an email to Diebold/Premier, California Secretary of State Debra Bowen and California Attorney
General Jerry Brown. Tell them:
Update 10/5/09: Our Letters To Diebold, Secretary of State and Attorney General
Diebold/Premier: 'Return Our Money!'
Secretary of State Bowen: Throw Diebold Out of Our State, Once and For All!
Attorney General Brown: Investigate! Prosecute! Obtain a Refund!

Possession. The unholy wine collection
Possession, by Daniel Brokstad:
"Possession is a limited edition unholy wine collection, featuring "Evil Demon – Bloody Shiraz", "Haunting Ghost – Spoory Cabernet" and "Old Witch – Cursed Pinot Noir". All the wines comes in a solid coffin shaped glossy casing, which adds to the exclusiveness of the wine series. Each are based on different occult themes as satanism, the paranormal and witchcraft. The type design on each bottle reflects it's theme and was made in a rough way to contrast the otherwise clean setup and design, to give it more of an edgy look."

Part of National Museums Liverpool
Irish music and dance in two British cities
15 March to 16 June 2002
Please note that this exhibition has now closed
Talking Traditions celebrated the endurance and evolution of Irish music and dance in Liverpool and Coventry through their thriving Irish communities.
Photographs, music, video and exhibits demonstrated how traditional Irish pastimes have been handed down through generations, since the settlement of Irish people in Liverpool from the 1840s. A wave of Irish migration to Coventry occurred later in the 1940s and 1960s.
The importance of keeping Irish traditions alive to create a sense of identity, heritage and community was explored through the memories and reflections of the Irish in England.
"My cousins back in Ireland don't do any of the Irish music and dancing . so they're like, 'Oh, it's the English ones who can do all the Irish stuff!' " - Siobhan Morrison
"It seems like over here, when we are away from Ireland, that we want to grasp at the heritage more " - Kathleen Cunningham
Learning dance or music from relatives has become a way of keeping in touch with Irish roots and keeping the traditions alive. However, Irish music is also promoted throughout the world via the musicians' movement Comhaltas Ceoltir Eireann - literally translating as 'a gathering of musicians'. Branches opened in Liverpool in 1957 and Coventry in 1971.
The Liverpool Ceili Band won acclaim in the 1960s when they began to compete and win prizes in Ireland. Coventry's dance schools have a strong reputation and members have gone on to perform in high profile productions, such as 'Riverdance' and 'Lord of the Dance'.
The exhibition stressed the importance of passing on these skills as living, breathing traditions, which evolve over time and are influenced by different generations of Irish descent living in Britain.
"With Irish music you can listen to a thousand different people playing the same tune and it'll never sound the same. It gives you room to express yourself as an individual" - Kate Burke
"That is what makes Irish dancing so different, that each teacher can create and learn and take ideas and put them into practice" - Danny Doherty
