LU faculty member presenting at NATO seminar in Sicily
Sanaz Alasti, assistant professor of criminal justice at Lamar University and an Iran native, has been invited to present her research at the fifth seminar organized by the International Institute of Higher Studies in Criminal Sciences, in co-operation with the NATO School. This year's seminar will focus on "Shari'a Law and Military Operations" in the Middle East.
Scheduled Nov. 19-24 at the institute headquarters in Siracusa, Sicily, the seminar will provide instruction on Shari'a Law by international scholars to officials and advisors from NATO member countries. Faculty members are invited from all around the world to cover a broad variety of issues such as crime and punishment in Shari'a Law, law of armed conflict, religiously motivated political violence, women's and minorities' rights and operational issues.
Alasti's presentation will cover comparative criminal justice systems in the Middle East.
"There is a difference from secular and religious criminal justice systems," Alasti said. "There are religious criminal justice systems in the Middle East. So my presentation will focus on criminal justice systems in the Middle East and crime and punishment in religious law, what is called Shari'a Law."
This conference is unique in that it strays from familiar Western law and its surrounding issues to instruct NATO officials in laws of the Middle East and how religious law differs from secular law. Attendees to the seminar will receive certification of completion at the end of their training.
"Usually when you attend a seminar or conference, the attendees are scholars, graduate students from my field, or criminologists," Alasti said. "At this seminar, the attendees are NATO officers, legal advisors and judges, so I believe it will be a different experience to work with them as opposed to scholars in my field."
Alasti did post-doctoral research in comparative studies of capital punishment at Harvard School of Law in 2011. She received her doctor of judicial science degree from Golden Gate University School of Law in 2008, a master of law from Tehran University School of Law in Iran in 2003, and a bachelor of law from Allame Tabatabaee University School of Law in Iran in 2001.
Stuart Wright, chair of the Department of Sociology, Social Work and Criminal Justice at Lamar, said Alasti brings an international perspective on capital punishment to the university in the area of criminal justice.
"We are absolutely delighted to have her," he said. "I get unsolicited compliments from students about her all of the time."
The benefits of going to international conferences go beyond the presentation and travel experience, Wright said.
"You find new networks that you wouldn't have otherwise been able to attack," he said. "Sometimes those networks yield all sorts of opportunities to publish. And anytime it is a NATO-affiliated conference where they pay your expenses to go to some exotic place, in this case the Mediterranean, in the company of some very impressive international scholars, it is a really big deal."

NOT OPTIONAL takes a quick weekly look at some essential releases, some recent, some not.
Richard Pryor, No Pryor Restraint: Life In Concert
This massive CD/DVD box set (out June 11) doesn't have the cool miniature reproductions of Pryor's Warner Bros. LPs that were included in Rhino's out-of-print …And It's Deep Too!, but it does have other special virtues, such as a few alternate versions of routines from the classic albums, including a version of "Our Gang" that goes into considerably more detail on the mechanics of having sex with a dog. This is the kind of treatment that's usually reserved for great jazz musicians, and in Pryor's case, it makes perfect sense. So does the decision to package these well-chosen audio selections with DVDs of his concert movies, including the titanic career summation that is Richard Pryor Live In Concert. Pryor wasn't a just Icomedian, he was a one-man guerrilla theater troupe, and to listen to him without seeing him move and shift from character to character, embodying winos and children and animals and his own darkest urges, is to get only a partial taste of his art. But even a partial taste is better than a full swig of almost anything else. [Phil Dyess-Nugent]
Drink A Toast To Innocence: A Tribute To Lite Rock
Growing up in the '70s, with my taste in music directly formed by what my parents listened to and what came through my clock radio, I've always had a soft spot for soft rock, and I've also had an ongoing love affair with tribute albums. So there was never any doubt that I'd be instantly smitten when those two things eventually collided. Drink A Toast To Innocence: A Tribute To Lite Rock turned out to be even more of a slam dunk than I'd imagined, thanks to a track listing featuring some of my favorite artists—including Kyle Vincent, Mike Viola, Linus Of Hollywood, Willie Wisely, and Seth Swirsky—tackling some of the smoothest, silkiest songs of the '70s, plus a few token tracks from the '80s. Mind you, most of the contributors aren't household names unless you're a power-pop aficionado, but once you've heard Bleu do "Baby Come Back" or Michael Carpenter rip through Cliff Richard's "We Don't Talk Anymore," you might find yourself wanting to check out their original material as well. [Will Harris]
After Porn Ends
Netflix is an incredible resource for documentary enthusiasts—I'm way more likely to fall down the rabbit hole of obscure real-life stories than to trip into an entire season of 30 Rock. I recently watched Meet The Fokkens, a doc about a pair of Amsterdam sisters in their late 60s who spent their entire adult lives as prostitutes. It was fascinating in a slice-of-life way, though pretty unsatisfying. The same could be said for After Porn Ends, which Netflix recommended presumably because we watched Fokkens. It was far from perfect (you guys know the whole "not optional" thing is a bit of fun hyperbole, right?), and I wish more of the 90-minute running time had actually been spent "after"—it was more like 60 minutes of catch-up with some well-known porn stars of the past, followed by the stories of how and why they got out of "the business." As you can probably guess, these aren't particularly happy stories, but it's interesting to see the range of regret—from Mary Carey, who ran for governor of California back when everybody did, and who's basically clueless, to Asia Carrera, who points out repeatedly that she's a card-carrying member of MENSA. The stories from the male stars are a bit more complex (and previously untold): Richard Pacheco (a.k.a. Howie Gordon) ends up with a pretty normal life (though he likes to sculpt fake penises on to toys), with a loving family. The same can't be said for the other "stars" here, but their cautionary stories are fascinating nonetheless. [Josh Modell]
Saga, Volume One
Ever wonder how the Imperial Stormtroopers feel about the various star wars they've been drafted into? Or what Greedo's love life was like before Han fired first on him? What's truly ingenious about Saga, the newish comic-book series from Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, TV's Lost), is the way it turns an intergalactic conflict straight out of George Lucas' wheelhouse into a mere backdrop, focusing not on the movers and shakers of the war, but the bit players. Narrated by the daughter of two star-crossed, on-the-lam lovers—a horned pacifist and his winged paramour, just trying to find a quiet corner of the cosmos to raise their infant offspring—the book devotes as much space to shooting-the-shit downtime as it does to shooting-the-villains skirmishes. The dialogue sings, the artwork (by Fiona Staples) is stunning, and scarcely a page goes by in which Vaughan doesn't introduce some inspired new concept or wrinkle. (A personal favorite: a feline sidekick who hisses "lying" whenever someone is being dishonest.) Equal parts soap opera and space opera, Saga fills readers with a constant sense of discovery, hinting at a whole universe just beyond the edges of its panels. Catch up with the inaugural six-issue trade now; a second volume hits stores next month. [A.A. Dowd]

The cookie ended up being a cross between a sugar cookie and shortbread, with a delicate texture and almond flavor. After the dough spent an hour in the fridge, we were able to roll them out and cut them into shapes. We used plenty of tapioca flour to keep the dough from sticking to everything. They were not difficult to make and are very allergen-friendly...not to mention grain-free and refined sugar-free! (Okay, for all you detail-oriented people out there, the recipe is: grain free, wheat free, gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free, corn free, and ALMOST nut-free - just substitute the almond extract with vanilla or coconut extract and it's completely nut free.) You can fill them with anything you like. I happened to have some homemade raspberry jam on hand, but you could fill them with just about any kind of preserves, frosting, or sweetened nut- or seed-butter spread.
Leila's Sandwich Cookies
1 1/2 tablespoons ground chia seeds (preferably white, but black work too)
3 tablespoons water
1 cup coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup shortening or butter (we use Spectrum shortening)
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon alcohol-free almond extract (replace with more vanilla extract, or coconut, if you are avoiding nuts)
8 drops Vanilla Creme Stevia
1. Mix the chia seeds plus 3 tablespoons water together and set aside. (This is your egg replacer.)
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, salt, baking soda and set aside.
3. Using an electric mixer, cream together the shortening and the honey. Add vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), stevia, and chia mixture.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl and mix until well combined.
5. Form the dough into a patty, wrap in parchment paper, and refridgerate at least one hour or until firm.
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dust your counter and your rolling pin with tapioca flour (arrowroot would probably work just as well).
7. Roll dough fairly thin - ours was only about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Bake for about 8 minutes or until edges begin to turn golden brown.
9. Let the cookies cool for ten minutes or so, then spread with the filling of your choice.
Enjoy (and don't forget to throw in the extra LOVE, baby)!!!

AutoNation lists amongst its competitive advantages, the efficiency, accuracy, consistency, and
controls the shared service environment brings to our organization.
Over the last several years, we've worked
to develop our offerings and roll in all of our retail organizations into the shared service environment.
next big focus is continuous improvement.
We're working very hard to find opportunities to do what we do,
both more efficiently and effectively to add to our value proposition within the organization.
partnered with Brookhaven College and the Dallas Community College system to help us with this continuous
improvement effort both in the form of the Lean Six Sigma training, as well as tuition assistance program for our
associates to advance their own educations.
And a lot of the fact finding that we've done though the Lean Six
Sigma, you find that you don't know what you don't know.
And as we've dug deeper and deeper into our own
metrics into our own analysis into our own information, we've learned about inefficiencies in areas where we have
duplicated processes, we repeat things that we don't need to repeat.
Just because over time, you build your
processes and you don't realize that you're doing something, more than once in multiple places.
So, we've
found a lot of opportunities to become more efficient and redirect those resources, the people that were doing
things multiple times, to enhancing the quality of the work that they do and the accuracy.
First of all the,
the questions came up through Lean Six Sigma what data are out there and we didn't exactly know.
In some
cases, it just caused us to ask for stuff we didn't know we even had.
It's amazing that, as I said, a little
bit ago, you don't know what you don't know until you start digging.
And the Lean Six Sigma process has
forced us to dig deeper into our own information than we've ever done before.

There's no end in sight for General Broach Company's growth due to the firm's affiliation with aeronautics. A standard 12-year tax abatement granted Monday by the Morenci city council will help the company's expansion continue.
"We feel very fortunate," said plant manager Larry Stover. "We've added 17 new jobs in 2007."
Stover said the company has solid contracts with some U.S. firms and inquiries are coming in from overseas companies.
"We see the need for more equipment and more people to make that happen," he said.
In response from an audience question, council member Keith Pennington explained that the exemption reduces the company's taxes on the new equipment specified by 50 percent.
The purchase still represents an increase in tax revenue for the city, but it also benefits the company in its need to buy new equipment.
"We're growing so fast we've got growing pangs," said Mark Miller of General Broach.
Aviation is now the bulk of the company's business, he said, taking over from automotive.
Stover said the company is currently operating between 20 and 22 hours a day, depending on the work done, and he wants to go to a full 24 hours with a third shift to meet demands.
He expects to add five new jobs by the end of the year. The tax abatement application calls for an increase of 10 jobs related to the new equipment, but Miller believes that figure is on the low side.
The abatement is for new and used equipment valued at $1.76 million. The existing workforce stands at 74 people, with an annual payroll of $2.7 million.
Councilors approved the abatement by a 6-0 vote, with Jason Bryant absent.

Pleasanton football now perfectly proud
PLEASANTON — The streets of Pleasanton have a much different feel these days.
Because of the Eagle Ford Shale play and the oil and gas boom, there's a lot more traffic in this town of about 9,000 that's 35 miles south of San Antonio.
And because of the football team, there are plenty of Pleasanton Eagles flags popping up along the streets.
Pleasanton is off to an 8-0 start, a remarkable turnaround after a 2-8 season in 2011.
The Eagles face Sam Houston at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the SAISD Sports Complex and are vying to become the first team in Pleasanton to have a 10-0 regular season since 1961.
"For a small town in Texas, the only adjective you can use for an undefeated season is 'monumental,'" said Doug Allen, a member of the 1961 team. "Wearing that letter jacket was so big. You'd drive through Hondo and Devine and it's all about your pride."
For this year's Pleasanton team, the key was bringing pride back.
Since a trip to the Class 3A Division I state semifinals in 2007, the Eagles hadn't had a winning season and hadn't been back to the playoffs.
Tab Dumont, now in his 15th season as head coach and 22nd overall at Pleasanton, said last year's 2-8 record was the low point. Pleasanton's last game in 2011 was a 50-6 loss to La Vernia. It didn't help that Jourdanton, six miles away, was having its best season in 15 years. Or that Devine, 30 miles away, was having its best season ever.
Instead of wiping the season from memory, Dumont decided to wear the record as a scar. He printed up a sign that read "2-8" and asked players what they were going to do about it.
The Eagles estimated that Dumont printed up about 30 of the "2-8" signs. They filled an entire wall of the locker room and were placed around the weight room. Center Taylor Shearrer said he even slapped one of the signs on a tire that the Eagles flip in workouts.
"Overkill's effective, I guess," wide receiver/defensive back Jake Mickaels said.
There were other signs that Pleasanton could be primed for a turnaround. Senior quarterback Luke Walters has started since he was a freshman and passed for 2,693 yards and 19 TDs in the 2-8 season.
He was one of nine returning offensive starters, including 6-foot-3 receiver Jacob Jandt.
"We put so much work in during the offseason, that I had a feeling we could do something this year," Walters said. "We were embarrassed about last season. It was motivation."
Walters, at 6-2 and 215 pounds, has emerged as one of the area's top passers. He's thrown for 2,044 yards this season with 27 TDs to only three interceptions. Jandt, his favorite target, has 715 receiving yards and 10 TDs.
The running game also has opened up, as junior Jacob Arevalo has 995 rushing yards and 14 TDs.
Arevalo scored four times last week in a 71-34 victory against Poteet.
The 71 points are believed to be a school record.
"It's unreal," Walters said. "You look at the crazy college scoring numbers that people are talking about, and those are our numbers, too."
Pleasanton players said they haven't thought about their chance at the school's first undefeated regular season in 51 years. They said their sights are on postseason success, not regular season perfection.
Dumont is glad that he won't need to print signs with this season's record, though.
In a couple of weeks, 10-0 could be on banners along the streets of Pleasanton.

In Elmer Beamer's view, the underlying reason why so many Haskins & Sells partners have received the American Institute's Gold Medal Award for distinguished service to public accounting is the commitment of the Firm to professional excellence. This commitment has permitted a number of H&S men to devote their efforts to projects of benefit to the entire profession, with the encouragement and support of their partners. Mr. Beamer, partner in charge of the H&S office in Cleveland, and the late Weldon Powell are the seventh and eighth partners of H&S to receive the AICPA Gold Medal. The awards were made at the Institute's annual meeting in New York last September. "Weldon Powell and I concentrated on different fields of interest in our efforts to broaden and perfect the practice of accounting," Mr. Beamer said recently. "But the main thing we had in common was the support of the other partners in the Firm. They encouraged us to take part in activities aimed at advancing the profession as a whole, rather than ones limited to more traditional, narrowly defined services. "As an organization, H&S is dedicated to the interests of the entire profession. Without this orientation it would be difficult to commit the time required to complete the basic studies that have been undertaken on behalf of the Institute," he said. Mr. Powell was cited posthumously for his efforts in laying the groundwork for the formation of the Accounting DEDICATED "to the interests of the entire profession" Principles Board, and for his service as the Board's first chairman who guided it through its first three years of activity. The concept of the Board grew from a suggestion by AICPA President Alvin R. Jennings at the 1958 meeting. Mr. Powell headed a committee which was entrusted with conducting a study of the matter on the Institute's behalf. He worked for more than a year formulating suggestions that led to the creation of the Board. This effort was followed by a period, during Weldon Powell's term as Board chairman, in which he dedicated himself to the essential task of amassing research and compiling studies upon which the Accounting Principles Board could base its opinions. This commitment consumed vast amounts of Mr. Powell's time in assembling information in fields where no prior research work had been conducted. He carried it on in addition to his work in the development and improvement of the Firm's auditing procedures. John Queenan, managing partner of H&S from 1956 to 1970, retains warm memories of Mr. Powell, whom he first met as his undergraduate accounting instructor at the University of Illinois. Mr. Powell provided the inspiration for Mr. Queenan's career in public accounting back in the 1920s, and encouraged him to join H&S. According to Mr. Queenan, Weldon Powell was regarded by leaders of the accounting profession as "probably the outstanding accounting theoretician and thinker on accounting principles and policies." His invaluable intellectual contributions bridged several decades-only to be stopped by an automobile accident which took his life in 1965. "By 1956, Weldon was already recognized by the profession as one of the deepest thinkers in the area of accounting and auditing theory," Mr. Queenan said. "He had the unusual characteristic that he could translate theory into actual practice, and he did this as well as anyone I have ever known. He was always oriented to the practical application of accounting thinking. " While Mr. Powell devoted his life to the technical aspects of auditing procedures and the formulation of accounting principles, Elmer Beamer has concentrated his efforts in areas beyond the immediate discipline of the profession in order to broaden the horizon of accounting professionals. The AICPA's citation for his award singled out his efforts on behalf of "numerous research, education and development committees, culminating with his chairmanship of the Commission to Study the Common Body of Knowledge for CPAs." This study suggested that the "beginning CPA must have a conceptual grasp of accounting, its interdisciplinary aspects, the environment in which it functions, and of those bodies of knowledge which are ancillary to its central purpose." Therefore, in order to grow and mature in the practice of accounting, a professional must begin with a broad understanding of the concepts of ac- 2

|Exclusive: New Meridian DVD-A Player, Updated AV Preamp
|Thursday, 01 August 2002
The Trickle Down Theory: it sure didn't work for Ronald Regan but it is a runaway success for Meridian who this week will announce a new DVD-Audio player called the 598 that can output a digital 5.1 high resolution signal much like Meridian's flagship $16,000 DVD player, the 800.
The base price on the 598 will be $5,195 and can be configured with Meridian's Smart Link which is the only commercially available digital DVD-Audio connection on the market. The 598 has a 5.1 analog output option and a progressive video option both priced separately at $500. The 598, much like the 800, benefits from Meridian's own navigation software called Smart Content which unlike other high end DVD players successfully reads most every disc known to man including, DVD-Audio, CD, CDR, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-V and many more. Since the standards for all of the commercial AV discs are not exactly rock solid, Meridian developed Smart Content to be software upgradeable so that if they find discs that don't read on one of their players, they can quickly and easily get a solution to the units in the field.
A digital out on your DVD-Audio player is only a benefit if you have a preamp that can accept a digital, high resolution 5.1 input. Up until now Meridian's 861 was the only option but Meridian has an new version of their more affordable AV preamp known as the 568.2 mm. The 568.2 mm is priced at $6,995 and can be configured with a digital input option at $7,745. The 568 is loaded with a new processor that has four times the computing power of their last processor in the 568 with the hopes of being able to keep up with new technologies as they emerge via software and firmware upgrades. The 568.2 mm comes loaded with nearly every conceivable surround option including DTS ES (6.1) THX EX (7.1), Dolby Digital, DTS and many more. The 568.2 mm also comes loaded with Meridian's own surround modes including their tasty tri-field mode which tastefully blends a center channel into stereo music. More importantly, the 568.2 upconverts music and movies in 8 total channels to 24/96 content. While we'd like every DVD or CD we buy to sound as good as a DVD-Audio disc, they simply don't. The Meridian allows you to dramatically improve the sound of your library of music and movies without any fuss.
There are many significant upgrades in these two new Meridian components but none are more important than their digital connection for 5.1 surround. Meridian has accomplished what the audio-video community still has not in terms of getting the music industry to agree that a digital connection between a high resolution music source and preamp is actually securely encrypted. At over $30,000 for a Meridian 800-861 DVD/AVpreamp combination, the technology existed for the 1/10th of one percent of music and movie enthusiasts who can afford the units. With the 568.2 mm and 598 priced in closer to $13,000 consumers have a groundbreaking opportunity to own a cutting edge music and movie playback system at a much more affordable price.

The Dubai Free Zones were set up to encourage foreign trade and investment. In 1985 the inauguration of Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZ) created the benchmark for regulations and incentives, proving so successful that the model has been copied multiple times in Dubai and also in the other Emirates. What the Dubai Free Zones offer are business districts well equipped with all the amenities, facilities and communication infrastructure necessary to set up a business and service the needs of investors.
Traditionally all companies had to be owned at least 51 percent by a UAE National, but any businesses registered in a Free Zone is allowed 100 per cent foreign ownership. It's even offered exemption from taxes and customs duties, plus no levy on exports/imports. Other trading benefits include no restrictions on recruitment or sponsorship. To many companies, opening an office in one of the many Free Zones is an attractive prospect, especially as Dubai is such a key location, and offers a free market environment, cutting-edge infrastructure, political stability, a booming economy and tax free policies.
There are currently twelve Dubai Free Zones, with more expected soon:

Don't Pity the Poor Eskimo – Part II (Dec, 1938)
Don't Pity the Poor Eskimo – Part II
By Ruth and Bill Albee
ESKIMOS of the Bering Strait region probably did not invent the pneumatic tire, but they seem to have known about its basic principle and utilized it long before the white man realized its possibilities.
These Eskimos, just emerging from the Stone Age, offer a wonderful opportunity to observe a primitive people in a primitive environment, and to compare their standard of intelligence with that of people of our modern age. Those who cherish illusions that modern man represents the acme of mental development are likely to have their illusions shattered.
For instance, many moderns think of straight-line production, precision workmanship, utilization of byproducts, and streamline design as characteristics of our modern industrial age. But we found that they were old stuff to the Eskimos at Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska. In their own way, the Eskimos have practiced these principles for countless generations.
As teachers among them, working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, we were supposed to teach their children how to cope with life. But we found them teaching us. We were amazed at their resourcefulness, efficiency, inventive genius and mechanical skill.
Modern industry can show few better examples of efficiency than that displayed by an Eskimo crew butchering a walrus. Six to ten men, working apparently without leadership or direction, will skin and cut up a 3,000-pound to medicines—and food is listed as one product. Not even the Chicago packers, who boast of using every part of the pig but the squeal, can do much better.
No one who has ever seen an Eskimo woman split a walrus hide can again think of precision workmanship as being exclusively a machine-age characteristic. The walrus hide is about three-quarters of an inch thick—too thick and too heavy to be used as a covering for a skin boat or oomiak. So the women split the hides into two layers, each approximately three-eighths of an inch thick. In this operation, the women use the traditional "ooloo," a knife with a curved blade, somewhat similar to the old-fash-ioned chopping knife. Holding a curved board between her knees to provide a cutting surface, she guides her ooloo strokes with her free hand and gauges the thickness of the two layers by a delicate sense of touch. It takes from six to eight hours to split a hide approximately twelve feet square. When the job is completed, the two layers will be of uniform thickness throughout. A thin spot might bring disaster to a hunting crew using the oomiak.
But the Eskimo men display even greater skill and precision in their work with rawhide. To explain their work and the Eskimo pneumatic tire, one must first explain that for some uses to which sealskin is put, the entire carcass is removed through a single opening at the neck, leaving the skin in one piece. An Eskimo man, using nothing but a hunting knife and his fingers for a gauge, will cut around the skin from neck to tail in a continuous spiral. Within an hour, he can reduce a seal hide to a rawhide thong from 500 to 800 feet long. These thongs have many uses, such as for making harpoon lines and nets to catch seals. They are so uniform in width and thickness that the eye can detect no variation.
On feast days the men hold contests demanding even greater skill. Each contestant takes an arm's length of rawhide thong not over three-sixteenths of an inch thick, and splits it with a quick pull of his knife.
The man who splits his thong into strips of the most nearly uniform dimensions, wins. Sometimes the judges ponder many hours before the victor is proclaimed.
The women cure these whole seal hides with oil to make bags or "pokes" that have many uses. Stuffed to capacity with dried meat soaked in seal oil, and with the opening sewed up airtight with sinew, the poke serves as a container to store food and preserve it for future use. Inflated with air, and attached to a harpoon line, it serves as a buoy to support and mark the location of seals or walrus harpooned out in the open water.
But perhaps the most interesting use of a seal poke is as a pneumatic roller. Two or three half-inflated pokes, placed under the keel of a loaded oomiak, will enable a crew to pull the boat with ease over a sandy beach. Wooden rollers, or even tightly inflated pokes, are not satisfactory, as they dig into the loose sand, and pile it up in front of the roller. But the Eskimo was smart enough to discover long ago that the pneumatic wheel, or roller, overcame irregularities of terrain. In building a dog sled for use on snow or ice, the problem was to construct a vehicle capable of transporting heavy loads over rough terrain at high speeds. Hence the sled, like the oomiak, must be strong but flexible enough to absorb shocks. Most dog sleds are made from imported hickory. One two-inch by twelve-inch plank, twelve feet long, will be ripped by hand into more than two hundred linear feet of hickory strips varying from two inches by two inches to one-quarter inch by three inches, all the wood needed for a ten-foot sled, such as the one illustrated.
The members, like those of the oomiak frame, are lashed together with taut rawhide thongs, providing strong, resilient joints that will yield and then pull back into place without breaking. Thin steel bands, bolted to the bottom of the wooden runners, provide the sliding surface.
The Eskimo's innate mechanical sense finds many expressions in his adaptation of modern devices to his needs. Almost any Eskimo can take an outboard motor that a white man would relegate to the junk heap and make it function satisfactorily. We watched one of our Eskimo friends lengthen the shaft of an outboard motor to use on his skin boat.
He carved a "gasket" five inches thick from a piece of hardwood to insert where the bottom housing joins the shaft. In the gasket he drilled holes for bolts, water circulation, and shaft. Then he filed threads on sections of steel rods and thus made bolts to extend through the gasket. Finally he made a new long shaft from a rust-pitted drift pin resurrected from an old bit of wreckage on the beach. Cutting it to length, he filed bearings and keyways by hand, and reassembled shaft and housing. The motor functioned perfectly for three years to our knowledge, and is probably still in use.
Everything they can procure, even the common nail, is put to many uses by the Eskimos. One day we watched one of them rebuild a rifle in our workshop. It was an old rifle and several of the working parts had worn loose. So he made new parts from nails, heating, hammering, and filing them to shape. When finished, the old rifle worked splendidly.
Nowhere does the Eskimo display greater skill than in his ivory carving, an art handed down for countless generations. Ivory is about as hard as brass. The Eskimo now uses a hack saw to rough-shape his ivory, rasps and files for the finer details, small chisels made from saw files to work out finer lines and crevasses, bow drills for holes, and emery paper and crocus cloth for the finishing touches. Finally he rubs it well with jewelers' rouge. The high polish secured by the rouge distinguishes real Eskimo work from the Japanese carvings that constitute most of the ivory offered for sale to Alaskan tourists.
Among Eskimo implements of comparatively recent origin, perhaps the most ingenious is the ilhook, or retriever. Before introduction of the rifle, seals were harpooned and pulled ashore by the harpoon line. But with a rifle an Eskimo might kill a seal or a duck far out in the water, and then be unable to retrieve it, without launching a boat. So he invented the ilhook, consisting of a streamlined, bullet-nosed, driftwood float carved to approximately the size and shape of a 200-watt electric-light bulb. Curved metal barbs protrude from the float, and a long rawhide line is securely fastened to it. In use, the float is whirled around the head rapidly and let fly out past the seal, carrying the line with it. If the line does not fall directly across the object to be retrieved, the hunter moves along the shore line until the float is in such position that it can be pulled directly across the quarry. Thereupon the metal barbs snag the object, and hold it while it is dragged ashore.
One instance of the Eskimos' innate mechanical sense impressed us deeply. Two educated Eskimos who had visited "the States" told us that the greatest fear they experienced was not from automobiles or trains, but from swaying trees. They could never quite overcome the fear that a tree, swaying in a stiff wind, would blow over on them!
The huge topheavy mass of branches, balanced on the small trunk, had no visible means of support. They had never seen trees growing in their native land, and while they knew that trees had roots, it didn't seem possible to them that there could be enough roots to anchor such an apparently illogical structure. To some, this concept might indicate a lack of intelligence on the part of the Eskimos. But their error was not one of logic. It was due to lack of information.
Here is where the white man enjoys perhaps his greatest advantage. He can avail himself of knowledge accumulated through the research of millions of experimenters, and the experience of millions of fellow craftsmen. Newspapers, magazines, radio, and motion pictures rapidly collect and disseminate new ideas and foster their adaptation to new uses, providing a constant source of inspiration. Perhaps it is this constant stimulus and this easy access to accumulated knowledge rather than any fancied superior intelligence that makes the white man seem to excel in mechanics and invention.
The Eskimos, in common with other peoples cut off from the rest of the world by physical barriers, have until recently enjoyed no such advantages of easy communication of ideas. They have had only their own traditions and experience, plus their native understanding of fundamental principles, to guide them.
From what we have seen of these Stone Age people, we believe that they display as much intelligence in analyzing and solving problems as do those who live thousands of miles and hundreds of years removed from them in the age of the machine.

To each their own, I have tried it and didn't like it. For me, the Rean NYS352BG (or NYS352B if you don't want gold) is a better value (about 30% less expensive or 50% less expensive for the nickel plated version) and has a better strain relief (see below). Further, for car audio use, it is much more compact than the NYS373.
Again, maybe I wasn't using the plastic strain relief properly, I refer to it as being shitty because I couldn't get the damn thing to work properly so I gave up trying to dick with it and went to something else. I have used an XLR and TRS version by Neutrik that has the same chuck style plastic strain relief and it worked great.
In other DIY RCA cable news, these showed up at my house today:
Last time I was shopping for RCA raw materials markertek only had Gepco 61801EZ mic cable in black. Now they sell it by the foot in every color under the sun. I've got some soldering to do.

Mitzi Miller
New York
New York
United States of America
Mitzi Miller's experience in publishing began at the start of the millennium as a Sales and Marketing Assistant for CMP Media, a leading company in trade publications. Determined to find a career where her passion for writing could be realized, she left CMP and accepted an unpaid editorial internship at Honey magazine. Shortly after joining the Honey editorial staff, Mitzi began writing a monthly girl-around town column, "Road Trippin'." Readers quickly grew addicted to her quirky, fun-filled adventures, such as speed dating, learning how to surf in Hawaii and spending time as an enlisted soldier in the United States Army's boot camp. Ms. Miller remained at Honey for two years during which she not only became the Entertainment Editor, received an honorable mention from the National Association of Black Journalists for her full-length feature story on domestic violence amongst young urban women, "Killing Me Softly', and thanks to the popularity of her column, she became the face of Honey magazine.
In 2003, Ms. Miller departed Honey and joined the staff of Jane Magazine as an Associate Editor. Where in addition to her monthly sex column, she frequently contributed to the entertainment section of the magazine with top celebrity interviews as well as quirky hyper feature stories such as: "Mitzi Lives Like a Privileged White Woman For a Week" and "How To Date 8 Guys At Once," which was favorably mentioned in a Washington Post article.
Adding to her accomplishments are Ms. Miller's consecutive book deals. The first book, The Angry Black Woman's Guide to Life (Plume/ Dutton) was released in April 2004 to rave reviews in The New York Times, Boston Globe and Newsweek. Her second book, The Vow (Harper Collins) was released in October 2005 and also met with outstanding reviews in The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Essence Magazine, Glamour Magazine, excerpted in the March 2006 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, as well as being earning a coveted spot on the Essence magazine Bestseller List.
Since leaving Jane to pursue exciting new writing and television opportunities, Ms. Miller continues to have reoccurring appearances on many of VH1's humorous list shows including Best Week Ever. She has also appeared on ABC's top rated morning show, Good Morning America, The Food Network and performed in the 2006 annual benefit production of Eve Ensler's award winning stage play, "The Vagina Monologues" at the Apollo Theater. In addition to being a Contributing Writer for Essence magazine and freelancing for Elle (U.K), Vibe, and Upscale magazines, Ms Miller sits on the Board of Directors for the youth empowerment non-profit, Black Girls Rock, Inc. and lives in New York City.

Carbon fibre? Isn't that just the stuff used for hideous bodykits on souped-up hot hatches?
Philistine. It's both lightweight and rigid, with a whole host of applications. Everything from boat hulls to Formula 1 cars to, yes, hideous bodykits for hot hatches.
And now I can 3D print the stuff?Yup – the Mark One from Mark Forged is the world's first 3D printer that'll print in carbon fibre. It prints in continuous strands, using a unique print head to print parts that are 20 times stiffer and 5 times stronger than the ABS plastic used in most 3D printers.
Is that all it does? The Mark One isn't a one-trick pony; it can also print in fibreglass, nylon and the standard PLA plastic used by most 3D printers.
What can I print on it?Whatever your heart desires. As long as it's no bigger than 12in x 6.25in x 6.25in. So, no, you can't print a hideous bodykit for your hot hatch. Unless it's a Hot Wheels hot hatch.
So it's going to be hugely expensive and aimed at 3D print shops, right?Nothing of the sort. The Mark One will cost US$5000 (RM16,700) when it goes on sale later in the year; you can pre-order it from February.
That's pricey, yes, but not outside the budget of the home enthusiast – and its aluminium unibody construction won't look out of place on the desk next to your iMac. It'll play nice with Mac OS 10.7 Lion +, Win XP+ and Linux (albeit with limited support for the latter), and features Wi-Fi, USB and SD card connectivity.

Guilty plea in road-rage death
Shackled and mostly quiet in Judge John Stevens felony court, a 46-year-old Port Arthur woman pleaded no contest Tuesday, Feb. 19, to two counts of aggravated assault and admitted her guilt in a U.S. 69 collision that caused the death of a Groves man more than a year ago.
By taking the plea agreement, Zola Ann Wilson avoided a possible prison term of 20 years for the death of Gary Naquin, 34, who died in the accident.
According to her plea agreement, Wilson will pay two fines of $500 and spend no more than five years in prison.
According to court testimony, on Jan. 27, 2012, Wilson was driving north on U.S. 69 when a rock from a large truck in front of her cracked her windshield. In a fit of rage, Wilson admitted to passing the truck, entering the truck's lane and slamming on her brakes. Naquin, who was following the large truck, did not stop in time and rear-ended the truck at high a speed. Naquin's wife and two children were hospitalized and survived the wreck, but Naquin died three days later.
After setting her sentencing for March 18, Judge Stevens pressed Wilson before she could exit the courtroom.
"Anything you want to say?" Stevens said. "Do you regret what happened or anything?"
Wilson replied, "Yes, I regret what happened and I would change it if I could, but I can't."
