Game On
• Harvard (4-4-4, 3-3-2 ECAC Hockey) has lost just once in its last six games (2-1-3).
• The Crimson owns the top power play in the nation at 32.2 percent (19 for 59). Harvard has scored at least one power-play goal in each of its 12 games and multiple power-play goals in six games. In the last five games, Harvard is 9 for 20 with the man advantage.
• Harvard ranks seventh nationally in scoring offense at 3.5 goals per game.
• Alex Killorn (Montreal, Que.) leads Harvard with 16 points and eight goals. He is tied for 11th nationally with 1.33 points per game and 10th with 0.67 goals per game.
• Harvard boasts two of the three highest-scoring defensemen in the nation. Danny Biega (Montreal, Que.) ranks second nationally in defenseman scoring at 1.25 points per game (3-12-15) and is tied for fourth in assists per game with one per contest. Patrick McNally (Glen Head, N.Y.) ranks third among defensemen with 1.17 points per game (4‑10‑14) and is the highest-scoring freshman at any position.
• The Crimson's last weekend of ECAC Hockey was a split at Clarkson and St. Lawrence Nov. 18-19.
Last Weekend
Alex Killorn scored a goal and assisted on two others, including the tying tally by Marshall Everson (Edina, Minn.), as Harvard rallied from a two‑goal, third-period deficit to tie No. 18 North Dakota, 4-4, Friday night. Steve Michalek (Glastonbury, Conn.) made 33 saves, four in overtime. Patrick McNally and Alex Fallstrom (Stockholm, Sweden) also scored for the Crimson, while Killorn went 17-4 at the faceoff dot.
A night later, UND took control with four straight goals in the first period and ended the Crimson's five-game unbeaten streak, 7-3. Alex Killorn, Eric Kroshus (Calgary, Alta.) and Luke Greiner (Faribault, Minn.) scored for the Crimson, which held a 32-25 shots advantage.
Shutting the Door
Harvard held North Dakota to a total of seven third-period shots over two games, five in Friday's tie and two in Saturday's loss. The Crimson has outscored its opponents, 15-9, in third periods, holding four teams scoreless in the final period and surrendering more than one goal just once.
Power Surge
Dating back to last season, Harvard has scored at least one power‑play goal in 16 straight games and has netted 25 man‑advantage goals in its last 14 ECAC games.
Comeback Crimson
Harvard has trailed 18 times this season and has come back to tie the score 14 times. The Crimson trailed twice each in its win against No. 18 Colgate and its ties against No. 19 Quinnipiac, Dartmouth and No. 18 North Dakota. Harvard scored seven goals over the final two periods to come back from a four‑goal deficit and defeat New Hampshire, 7-6, Nov. 22 and erased four separate one-goal deficits in a 4-4 tie at Massachusetts Dec. 2.
Road Warriors
Harvard is playing the sixth and seventh of seven straight road games and eight straight away from Bright Hockey Center. The Crimson returns to Boston to host Union Jan. 13 at Fenway Park and comes back to Bright a night later to take on Boston University.
Up for a Challenge
Friday's game at Union will be Harvard's third straight against a nationally ranked team. The Crimson is in a stretch of eight currently ranked opponents in nine games. Harvard plays the No. 14 Dutchmen again Jan. 13, followed by No. 10 BU, No. 9 Colgate, No. 13 Cornell and No. 20 Yale. Harvard is 1-1-2 against ranked competition. Dating back to 2010-11, the Crimson is 3-3-3 against its last nine ranked foes.
Poll Position
Harvard has received votes in nine of the 13 weeks of the U.S. College Hockey Online poll.
Offensive Turnaround
Harvard is on pace for its highest-scoring season since 2002-03, when the Crimson averaged 3.91 goals per game and ranked sixth nationally in scoring offense. The Crimson's offensive success this season comes after finishing 2010-11 ranked 54th nationally with 2.26 goals per game.
Outside the Box
Harvard has allowed its opponents only 45 power plays this season, the nation's lowest total and an average of just 3.75 per game. That is nine fewer than Yale, which has surrendered the nation's second-fewest power plays at 54. Only nine other teams have allowed their opponents fewer than 75 power plays.
Close Calls
Before Saturday's game, none of Harvard's games had been decided by more than two goals. Eight of the 12 games, including seven of the last eight, have been tied in the third period. At a point in every third period but one, the score has been tied or the teams have been separated by one goal.
Who's Hot?
Alex Killorn has logged points in each of the last seven games, totaling five goals and six assists in that span. Patrick McNally has two goals and six assists in his four-game point streak and has notched points in eight of the last nine outings. Danny Biega's streak of five straight two-point games was snapped Friday at UND, but his assist Saturday was his 11th point in seven games.
Reunited, and It Feels So Good
Linemates Marshall Everson, Alex Killorn and Alex Fallstrom led the Crimson's late charge last season. They have been back together for the last six games, helping Harvard go 2-1-3 by combining for for 12 goals and 10 assists in that span. For the season, the trio has totaled 17 goals and 18 assists in 34 individual games played.
Firing Line
The Crimson put a season-high 44 shots on goal at UMass, including a combined 27 from the line of Marshall Everson, Alex Killorn and Alex Fallstrom. Killorn logged 11 shots, while Everson had nine and Fallstrom added seven. Harvard has allowed fewer than 27 total shots to four of its 12 opponents. Killorn has notched 60 shots this season, an average of five per game.
Defensemen have scored or assisted on 34 of the Crimson's last 37 tallies. Harvard's defensemen totaled six assists at UMass, two goals and three assists at Princeton Dec. 10 and a goal and six helpers in two games at North Dakota.
On the Board
Petr Placek (Rakovnik, Czech Republic) and Max Everson (Edina, Minn.) each recorded an assist Saturday at North Dakota. The points were the first of their collegiate careers.
Last Season: Harvard vs. Union
The Dutchmen recorded their first season sweep of Harvard by winning a pair of thrilling, 2-1 games last season. In the season opener at Bright Hockey Center, Danny Biega tied the game in the third period, but Greg Coburn netted the winner for No. 15 Union in the final seven minutes.
The Jan. 22 rematch at Messa Rink was even more dramatic. Mat Bodie broke a 1-1 tie with his goal at 17:43 of the third period.
Series History: Harvard vs. Union
Harvard holds a 30-7-3 all-time edge against Union and has lost just four times in the last 20 meetings. Ted Donato '91 is 9-4-1 against the Dutchmen, and the Crimson is 14-4-2 in Schenectady, N.Y.
Scouting the Dutchmen
Then-No. 10 Union took a six-game unbeaten streak into its weekend trip to Colorado but suffered close losses to No. 15 Denver, 3-1, and No. 6 Colorado College, 2-1. The Dutchmen (9-5-5, 3-2-2) are one of just two teams in the nation allowing fewer than two goals per game.
Troy Grosenick, in his first season as a starter, owns a .933 save percentage and 1.71 goals‑against average. On the offensive end, Kelly Zajac leads the team with 19 points and 15 assists, while Jeremy Welsh has 18 points and a team‑high 13 goals.
Last Season: Harvard vs. Rensselaer
As with Union, Harvard and Rensselaer played a pair of one-goal games last season. Alex Killorn scored with just 8.2 seconds left to lift the Crimson to a 1-0 win early in the season. Later, at Houston Field House, the Engineers hung on for a 3-2 win despite being outshot by an 18-3 margin in the final period and a 38-16 count for the game.
Series History: Harvard vs. Rensselaer
Harvard owns a 46-35-3 lead in the all-time series, which began with a RPI home win in 1951. Ted Donato is 8-5-1 against the Engineers. The Crimson and Engineers have combined for three national titles and have met twice to determine the ECAC champion, a 3-1 RPI win in 1985 and a 3-0 Harvard victory in 1994.
Scouting the Engineers
Rensselaer (3-15-0, 1-6-0), which tied for fourth place in ECAC Hockey last season, has struggled to get on track in 2011-12. The Engineers have lost five straight games since a 2-0 win at RIT Nov. 25. They also own a 1-0 league victory against Brown.
Bryce Merriam has posted a .903 save percentage and 2.68 goals-against average so far. Nick Bailen (3-6-9) and Brock Higgs (1-8-9) share the team scoring lead, while Ryan Haggerty paces RPI with four goals. Haggerty is one of three freshmen among the team's top six scorers.

Every day shops face deadlines. While each item due varies in where it falls on the priority list, all must eventually get done. One deadline that's up there on the list is estimating. It's in the nature of contract manufacturing to rush production of a quotation to satisfy a deadline. That rush can lead to an inaccurate quote that may come back to haunt.
To help shops solve this problem of fast and accurate quotation, comes a rapid cost estimating software package from Manufacturers Technologies, Inc. (West Springfield, Massachusetts). Called Costimator RapidCost, it's designed to simplify the job and help estimators produce accurate quotes quickly enough to satisfy deadline pressures.
Featured Content
"Competitive cost estimating is a complex and fast paced business that often forces engineers to rush quotes and risk losing money by underbidding a job," says MTI president Tom Charkiewicz. MTI's cost estimating system uses a versatile expert knowledge database and parametric estimating programs that can help users produce accurate cost estimates in 60 seconds or less.
RapidCost offers a choice of two different programs for formulating parametric estimates. One uses a linear list of times and costs and one uses regression analysis. MTI says either program can estimate within ¤5 percent or better of actual manufacturing times and costs. They also produce shop travelers.
To get started, the operator stores information on the shop's manufacturing times and costs related to its workcenters, processes, part features and so on, for either program in the database. The choice between programs is determined by the type of part and shop preference.
To estimate a part, an operator keys in data on the part, material and features, and "points and clicks" with a mouse at on-screen menus and lists to select the elements of a specific quote (workcenters, features, products, and so on). A menu presents users with estimating method options that determine the level of detail within a quote-more detail requires more menu choices and, more time.
When using the list program to estimate, the software draws information directly from tables of manufacturing times and costs built into the database. It then performs a linear calculation to arrive at a manufacturing time and cost.
The regression analysis program option charts a variety of curves (including linear, exponential, logarithmic, and hyperbolic) that compare estimated part features to data on three or more similar parts entered in the database. Within a millisecond, the program chooses the best curve and calculates the estimate.
The system's ability to perform "what if" analysis has potential for a significant cost-saving benefit for shops. When an estimate is complete, operators may search for a less expensive method of manufacture by making on-screen changes in part material, tool material, manufacturing operations or part quantity. The software instantly computes the new manufacturing time and cost, per-part. Comparing the new and original estimates, it's easy to determine which is quickest and costs least.
The system comes with the IQ Builder database consisting of 10,000 predetermined manufacturing times. The database may be customized to the shop's preferences. Historical data on part manufacture is transferable electronically to the database from existing computer files. Or, it may be quickly typed in.
Other options are available including an extensive Labor Standards Database, a Costimator4CAD module which enables the software to estimate from on-screen CAD drawings. An available digitizer module accurately measures tool travel as the operator traces a part drawing.
The system's speed, accuracy and reports provide supplemental benefits. Streamlining estimating and routing processes increases efficiency and ups a shop's potential for successful bids. The system also produces and stores traceable documentation needed to meet MS-1567A and ISO-9000 requirements and improve shop floor communication.
"Traditionally, engineers have viewed accurate estimates and fast estimates as mutually exclusive," says Mr. Charkiewicz. "This system is flexible enough to support virtually every manufacturing field, including automotive, aerospace, medical, communications, and electronics." If lowering the time needed to create an estimate, while still producing accurate quotes, can help shops win more jobs, this software is worth a look.
Automating Machine Monitoring And Data Collection
This automated machine data collection software automatically collects a wealth of information specific to machining processes and presents it in an intuitive format so users can quickly analyze the data and implement changes.
Web-Based Quoting System Leverages the Cloud to Integrate the Process
Applying "intelligent algorithms" to part geometry and linking to appropriate sources of other required information can make the job-quoting process faster, more accurate and more likely to be competitive.
Sharing The Big Picture
The theme of visibility in manufacturing finds expression in numerous ways at this shop. One of the most conspicuous is the use of plasma displays in strategic areas to summarize the company's performance as reported by its shop control/data-collection system.

You'd be surprised how easily electrolytes can go out of balance with or without extenuating circumstances. I'm one of those individuals who runs on the low side of the normal range for the sodium test. Normal range is 135-145 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). Do any of you know what your blood sodium level is? You should know before you drink enormous quantities of water.
One December, I came down with a cold or flu. I just wanted to sleep. I didn't really feel like eating, so I didn't, even with a lot of gentle nagging by NL. When we are ill with flu or cold, we are always told to stay hydrated. So, every couple of hours, I obliged NL by drinking a glass of water. Perfect storm...not eating (not ingesting enough sodium), lower blood sodium level anyway, drinking a lot of water and after 3 days, I was acting stranger than is normal for even me. New Years eve, NL packed me into the car and took me to the emergency unit of our local hospital. I got through the registration and admissions process, got onto a hospital bed and was, in the blink of an eye, in full hyponatremic (sometimes called water intoxication) crisis. My blood sodium was 106 (mEq/L). All the other electrolytes were wonky too. I was in a babbling coma for 17 hours, no one knew if I would live, die, would have brain damage, or be in a permanent coma. Seven days later, I was released from the Intensive Care Unit, on a strict fluid intake restriction and taking sodium tablets and had to get blood tests and check in with my nephrologist every week for a couple months.
Yes there were extenuating circumstances in my case, but some extenuating circumstance of one kind or another is all it takes to upset the balance of electrolytes we all take for granted. I had this discussion with my nephrologist about how those of us with spinal cord injury are told to drink, drink, drink to flush the kidneys and bladder. She has just sat there, shaking her head. She says large quantities of water put an extraordinary burden on your kidneys and can actually cause kidney disease.
Every one of us should know our blood sodium level, along with the balance of other electrolytes and we should have yearly tests, or more often if you have a kidney or sodium problem, to monitor what is going on with our blood chemistry.

One year on since the European Union's Timber Regulation (EUTR) legislation came into force, prohibiting the trading of illegally harvested timber (and timber products) in the European market, Greenpeace and their partners have found a number of high profile cases of illegal wood from companies in the DRC (some with links to human rights violations) have entered the EU. If the EUTR is not fully enforced, national laws will continue to be broken, forested areas will continue to be illegally destroyed and communities will go on suffering in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
3 March 2014, marks exactly a year since the European Timber Regulation (EUTR) came into force. The legislation prohibits illegal timber or timber products being placed on the EU market and is part of worldwide efforts to stop deforestation. Much of the illegal timber entering Europe comes from countries in the Congo basin, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where forest governance is weak.

DETROIT � An 8-year-old boy who was sleeping early Wednesday died after a bullet fired from outside went through the home's wall and into his bedroom, hitting him, Detroit police said.
The child was struck once about 1:15 a.m. Wednesday at the Brewster Homes complex on Detroit's east side, Officer Adam Madera said, and pronounced dead about 45 minutes later at Children's Hospital of Michigan.
''He was sleeping in his room and gunshots were fired from outside,'' Madera said.
No arrests were immediately made, but Detroit police were speaking with a ''person of interest'' in the case, Madera said. An autopsy is scheduled Thursday, Wayne County medical examiner's office spokeswoman Mary Mazur said.
The boy's name wasn't released by police, but The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press identify him as Jakari Pearson.
Grief-stricken relatives declined to be interviewed by The Associated Press. But next door neighbor Tenesha Higgins said there were ''five or six'' very loud booms � something she said is common in the public housing complex several miles northeast of downtown.
''I was just laying down to sleep,'' said Higgins, 30. ''I heard the gunshots. It sounded like it was literally in front of the house. I waited, then I heard screaming and police sirens.
''I opened the door and the boy was laying in the street,'' she said, adding it appeared the mother's boyfriend was trying to rush him to the hospital.
''He was a good boy,'' Higgins said. ''He liked to play baseball.''
Neighbors and passers-by started a makeshift memorial of stuffed bears, dogs and other toy animals on the front porch of the home. Propped on the toys were handwritten cardboard signs that read: ''CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE!'' ''GIVE OUR CHLDREN A CHANCE'' and ''UNITED WE STAND ... STOP THE VIOLENCE!!!!''
Jakari's slaying follows the July 1 shooting death of a 2-year-old girl in Inkster, southwest of Detroit. Police in that case have said KaMiya Gross was killed in front of her father as retaliation from an earlier shooting. Two men are charged in her death.
Late Wednesday morning, police still were at Jakari's home, a corner unit of several attached row houses. The shots appeared to have been fired behind the home toward the second floor. One tore through an upstairs window, while another appeared to cleanly pass through the exterior brick wall two feet beneath the window.
Jakari was to enter the fourth grade at Spain Elementary this year, friends said.
Higgins is fed up with the crime that has been creeping over the past decade or so into the neighborhood. She's lived there about 15 years.
''It can get very dangerous,'' Higgins said. ''These guys get away with a lot of stuff. There have been numerous break-ins.
''I haven't been to sleep. I don't feel safe at all. I didn't go to work today. I didn't want to leave my baby.''

Editor's note: Julian Zelizer is a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University. He is the author of "Jimmy Carter" (Times Books) and editor of a book assessing former President George W. Bush's administration, published by Princeton University Press.
Princeton, New Jersey (CNN) -- American voters need to decide what they really want from Washington.
On the one hand, voters are dismissive of presidential and congressional candidates who can be called "flip-floppers," people who shift positions or agree to compromise.
On the other hand, voters rail against a dysfunctional Washington that seems unable to reach agreement on almost anything because politicians on the right and left don't seem willing to compromise
As a result, the approval ratings of Congress have fallen to only 9%.
Voters insist they want the type of candidate who won't compromise, and thus won't be able to cut the deals that are needed to break through the partisan gridlock.
Indeed, the term flip-flopper has become one of the dirtiest words in American politics. When candidates have a record that reveals inconsistencies in their position, their opponents pounce.
In 2004, President George W. Bush's campaign eviscerated Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry through a devastating campaign that focused on this point. In one television ad, Republicans showed Kerry windsurfing, arguing that this was a metaphor for his approach to politics. The narrator stated: "In which direction would John Kerry lead? Kerry voted for the Iraq war, opposed it, supported it and now opposes it again. ... John Kerry: whichever way the wind blows."
Right now the top candidates in both parties are viewed by many voters as flip-floppers. For some liberal Democrats, one of the biggest problems with President Obama has been that he has governed too much like President Bill Clinton. Rather than standing on principle, he has made deals. The president has consistently reached out to centrists and has been willing to accept the best that he could get, rather than challenging his opponents to a tough fight.
On the other side of the aisle, there is former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the front-runner who Republicans love to hate. His critics argue he is a politician willing to stand for anything that will get him elected. They point to positions he has taken a stand on, issues such as abortion, health care and gay rights, and note how he later changed his stance for political expediency.
In response to a question during one of the Republican debates, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said, "I think Americans just don't know sometimes which Mitt Romney they're dealing with."
Erick Erickson, a CNN contributor and editor of redstate.com, wrote, "Mitt Romney is not the George W. Bush of 2012 -- he is the Harriet Miers of 2012, only conservative because a few conservative grand pooh-bahs tell us Mitt Romney is conservative and for no other reason." Even before the GOP nomination battle is decided, President Obama's surrogates such as David Plouffe are already attacking Romney as a flip-flopper.
The critics of Obama and Romney are picking up on the fact that voters react negatively to candidates who shift their positions. And there are forces in both parties that are pushing for the kind of candidate who will stand firmly on principle and not negotiate with the other side.
Yet if these are the ideals that we demand of our elected officials, it will certainly be more difficult to solve America's problems.
There seems to be no room any more for politicians like Sen. Everett Dirksen. The Illinois Republican and Senate Minority Leader in the 1960s was a striking figure. With his baritone voice and wavy white hair, Dirksen was a memorable politician who passionately believed in the art of compromise and was often willing to cut a deal.
Indeed, his critics often complained that he was all compromise and no principle. One southern Democrat refused to join a birthday celebration for Dirksen, explaining, "He is a delightful companion, but he changes too often for me. I never know where he is." Dirksen didn't really care. He liked to quote Emerson as saying "consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds," believing the job of the legislator was to find or shape bills that could pass.
As a result, he was able to make bold moves to make legislative deals even when they defied some of the core ideals of his party. Dirksen, for example, was instrumental in ending the filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. With Southern Democrats opposing the bill, the White House depended on him to deliver enough votes to reach the 67 required to end debate and bring the bill to a vote. He delivered. Though he was not a champion of civil rights, Dirksen emerged as a towering figure on Capitol Hill as a result of this and other deals.
Dirksen was not alone. Some of the most successful presidents of the 20th century didn't practice what they preached. President Franklin Roosevelt was notoriously difficult to pin down, embracing programs that appealed to the left and the right, such as cutting government spending in 1933 while expanding the regulatory power of Washington at the same time.
President Ronald Reagan is often praised for having negotiated a historic agreement with the Soviet Union in 1987, even though he had spent much of his career railing against other Republicans and Democrats who were willing to sit down and talk with the Kremlin.
Of course we don't want presidents and legislators who stand for nothing and simply move whichever way the wind blows. But flexibility and pragmatism are virtues as well.
If we are to fix Washington, the city needs more figures like Dirksen, FDR, and Reagan, individuals who love the craft of politics and the art of making deals. But if the nation insists on electing politicians who have a pure partisan track record, compromise will be hard, if not impossible, to achieve.
At some level, Americans will have to come to learn to love the flip-flopper if they really want to end the legislative stalemate we've seen for more than a decade.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Julian Zelizer.

My first post though I have been a long time lurker and hope to contribute now.
Since I found an answer here, I thought I'd post an update in case anyone is interested.
I'm experiencing broken Telecom DNS servers on the North Shore Auckland for the past 3 hours. Telecommunications broadband support (1 person hung up and one person was useless for 40 minutes before saying I should call back at 7 am) didn't help.
I can ping external web IP numbers but domain names say 'unable to resolve host'. I didn't realize I could change DNS servers to non-telecom but I found a post here mentioning Google's 184.108.40.206 server which I tried and all works. I needed to do some work late this evening - internet is like electricity to me and Telecom saying I'd be down 8+hrs was just crazy, so your posts here helped greatly and I'm thankful this community exists.

Is Linux Suffering From Mono?
Jun 22, 2009 4:00 AM PT
In the general population, "Mono" may be best known for infecting teenagers with the "kissing disease." On the Linux blogs, it's recently caused a different kind of anguish as geeks far and wide have debated whether it's infected Linux too.
It's a different Mono, of course, but its effects -- or, at least, the discussion of them -- have been no less agonizing.
It all started earlier this month when Linux Canuck posted an explicit description of why he -- or she (it's not clear from the "About Me" section) -- dislikes Mono (referring to the .Net development framework now) and is consequently considering abandoning Ubuntu.
"The bone of contention for me is Mono," Linux Canuck wrote. "I remove it. I don't like it. I refuse to use it. It rubs me the wrong way. Anything that starts with Microsoft and goes via the sellout, Novell, cannot be good."
An Open Invitation
Close to 90 comments followed there before the topic got picked up on Linux Today, generating another 50 or so more.
That, in turn, inspired Carla Schroder to post an open invitation to Mono proponents to "set the record straight," as she put it.
"As discussions tend to be fractured, wandering, and emotional, I think that a calm presentation of why Mono is desirable, why it is not a threat, and why it should be included in Ubuntu by default would be beneficial," Schroder explained.
'You Are Not Even-Handed'
Another 50 or so comments followed there before one Jo Shields chose to respond to Schroder's challenge. Shields first posted his reply on Linux Today -- where it elicited some 40 comments -- and then on his own blog, where nearly 200 more followed.
"Your initial post makes it clear that you are not even-handed on this topic," Shields wrote, referring to Schroder's words in her open invitation.
"Free Software is a meritocracy -- those who do things earn respect," he asserted. "Until the anti-Mono crowd actually make a contribution to Free Software, they will continue to be treated as cranks -- and their questions left unanswered."
The thundering hooves of the comment stampede could be heard almost before Shields' proverbial ink was dry.
'The Die-Hard FLOSS Zealot Bull'
"Someone else who sees the die hard FLOSS zealot bull for what it is," wrote Jason Knight in the comments on Shields' site. "So many of them throw around the word freedom without understanding what freedom is -- they're all for freedom so long as you don't disagree with them...
"News flash, freedom is about the ability to CHOOSE, and if I CHOOSE to use an open system based on a closed one, or GOD FORBID a closed one, that's my choice," Knight added.
"Great article, these things had to be said!" wrote Chris on Linux Today. "This whole debate cannot be left to hotheads and paranoiacs."
'Exceedingly Pissed Off'
On the other hand: "I was exceedingly pissed off by" Shields' pro-Mono plea, wrote Radu-Cristian Fotescu on Planete Beranger. "I can't comment on it, as I don't want to read it again. It hurts my guts."
Similarly: "I think that Linux users should shun Mono as far as possible," chimed in softwarejanitor on LXer. "There is no reason why anyone should consider it if they aren't coming from the MS world."
Indeed, the comments just kept on coming. Overwhelmed by the passion and -- dare we say it -- bitterness evident in the debate, we here at LinuxInsider had no choice but to seek out some more insight.
'Mono Gives M$ More Power'
"We do not need Mono or anything else connected to that other OS," blogger Robert Pogson told LinuxInsider via email. "Developers love GNU/Linux, which is why they are migrating to it in droves."
GNU/Linux was "designed and created by developers from all over the planet and over many decades, stemming from UNIX," Pogson explained. "There is nothing wrong with Mono except that it gives M$ more power over GNU/Linux. Any corporation that threatens litigation over software patents should be avoided like the plague."
Similarly, "What the Mono proponents are forgetting when they say they can just 'design around patents' is the possibility of a Rambus-style attack where the standard is written to require a patent," Montreal consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack told LinuxInsider. "Until Microsoft makes a formal pledge not to enforce its patents against Mono, we should resist including it in our Linux distros."
Protesters 'Flat Out Fail'
On the other hand: "Mono is Free Software by even the Free Software Foundation's standards," Monochrome Mentality's Kevin Dean told LinuxInsider in an email message. "I understand the concern, but seriously question the commotion about this implementation of .NET."
The problem isn't the software but "the 'game' software exists in," Dean explained. "Most Free Software advocates believe that information or data can't be owned but should be rightfully shared. The problem is that those advocates subscribe to the same SYSTEM that by default makes things like Mono or .NET okay to restrict. They subscribe to the government-enforced system of copyright; the owner of an idea (the creator of it) somehow owns *all implementations* of that idea -- a monopoly on that idea, if you will."
In this regard, "I think the Free Software advocates protesting Mono and the Microsoft lawyers drooling over Mono's inclusion flat out fail," Dean asserted. "Ideas aren't property once let out of the originator's head. They're property of anybody who obtains that idea, restricted only by how fast that idea can spread itself."
'I'm Advocating Civil Disobedience'
If information is not owned, then "systems proclaiming the ownership of information should simply be ignored," Dean said. "Yes, I'm advocating civil disobedience. Just as the European Pirate Party encouraged civil disobedience, and then made that issue the forefront of their campaign efforts, so should Mono users."
Accordingly, "I strongly encourage every distro to adopt and make use of Mono," Dean said. "The number of applications that depend on it clearly demonstrate that it is a good tool.
"I also encourage every distro to stand strong in this decision, to contest the potential day where Microsoft sues and STILL include Mono, even if some court says, 'You may not do this'," he said. "We've seen this work with so-called 'non-free' formats like MP3 and encrypted DVDs (libdvdcss), and by simply refusing to cater to draconian restrictions, we've seen these technologies flourish and prosper."
There may be some in the Free Software movement who are uncomfortable with rejecting the idea that the author of software is its owner, Dean noted -- "the GNU project, for instance, might balk at the idea that they do NOT control how software they wrote is used by developers around the world," he said. "But consistency and ethical conduct are the price of freedom."

Keeping Vigil
Molasses for the most part, has been alert and comfortable. I do my best just to keep her warm and quiet, and try to stop the bleeding each time it starts. Last night was good, and I awoke with hope that today things would start to really turn around for the better. Unfortunately after waking she experienced another pretty bad episode. Mo is relaxing peacefully as I type this, but I can clearly see the toll this is taking on her as she seems to be growing weaker. I still pray for a miracle, but know, as the vet has told me, this is most likely the beginning of the end.
Each moment over the last few days has been filled with much sadness, but also much much beauty and grace. I am profoundly thankful for getting to simply lay with her, to gaze into her big beautiful brown eyes, to tell her for the one millionth time how much I love her and to thank her from the depths of my soul for bringing me so much joy and happiness. Molasses returns my look, staring deep into my eyes. She sighs, rolls over for a belly rub and dozes a bit more.

Earlier this week, the director-general of Britain's license fee-funded BBC, Mark Thompson, gave an astonishing interview, revealing that the BBC consciously and deliberately treats Muslim themes more sensitively than those pertaining to Christianity. A practicing Catholic, he treats Christianity with less sensitivity because it is ''pretty broad-shouldered.'' Islam, however, is a different story.
Non-Christian faiths are more aligned with ethnicity, he explained, and race is more sensitive, therefore careful treatment is warranted. Moreover, broadcasters must consider the possibility of "violent threats" when crafting satire:
''Without question, 'I complain in the strongest possible terms,' is different from, 'I complain in the strongest possible terms and I am loading my AK47 as I write.' This definitely raises the stakes.''
This much has long been obvious to observers of Western media, but that does little to diminish the odium of the admission, because it proudly elevates hypocrisy and double standard (again, both longstanding features of BBC coverage) to policy. For instance, when the BBC aired "Jerry Springer: The Opera" in 2005, it did so in the face of Christian opposition. In the interview, Thompson was asked whether it would have been aired had it dealt with Islamic themes. He said no.
It is noteworthy that the inexplicable obsession with race in Britain – historically less racked with racial, than with religious, conflict – has now impinged on religious sensitivity. This is, in a sense, unsurprising, for those very conflicts engendered a spirit of religious toleration – toleration which made Christianity so ''broad-shouldered.'' Toleration, of course, is best pursued reciprocally, but, unlike the Hindu, Sikh, and many decent Muslim immigrants to the UK, the Islamists have yet to learn that. Acquiescing to their demands made at bayonet point is, it seems, to forego the very lessons the British learned centuries ago.
Furthermore, the sensitivity afforded to non-Christian faiths because they are more aligned with ethnicity is obviously unfair, not just to Christianity, but to Judaism also, which, though legally considered in racial terms (anti-Semitism falls under race-relations legislation), is culturally not seen as an ethnicity – a category reserved for more recent immigrants. Today, though, Judaism is aligned rather with a nationality, and the BBC's remarkably biased and even inaccurate reportage of Israel is no less ''insensitive'' – indeed it is considerably dangerous to the safety of Jews in Britain and elsewhere. Thompson sees insensitivity toward Islam as ''racism by other means'' towards Muslims. If so, then its treatment of Israel is ''racism by other means'' toward Jews. The BBC's ongoing refusal to release its internal Balen Report, which evaluates its coverage of the Middle East, can only continue to inspire the conclusion that the BBC knows this too.
At the end of the day, the ethnicity rationale is nonsense. This is literal Islamphobia: fear of Islamists, and the ''AK-47s'' they wield and use. There is a welcome debate to be had about the limits of acceptable religious satire, but the BBC cannot have it both ways. And the lesson the BBC appears to be teaching – a lesson we always knew and apparently is also policy – is that complaints get more credence if they are backed up by force.

RILA and NRF Agree to Merge
New Merged Association to Provide a Single Retail Voice in Washington, DC
WASHINGTON, DC -- The National Retail Federation (NRF) and the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) today announced that the executive committees of both associations have unanimously agreed in principle to a merger that will create a single trade association representing retail interests in the nation's capital.
The new organization will provide enhanced value to both RILA and NRF's members and help to ensure that the retail industry speaks with a one voice to advance the industry and its more than 15 million workers.
"This is an historic time for our industry. The challenges and opportunities before our members are unprecedented. Now is the right time to bring these associations together,†said RILA Chairman, Robert A. Niblock, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Lowe's Companies, Inc. and NRF Chairman Myron E. (Mike) Ullman, III, Chairman and CEO of J.C. Penney Company, Inc. in a joint statement.
According to Niblock and Ullman, in addition to enhancing member value, the new (and as yet unnamed) association will accrue substantial benefits to all members collectively, small and large, including:
• A unified and stronger voice on policy, communications, and public affairs issues in Washington, DC
• A host of exciting member events and conferences open to the combined membership of NRF and RILA and, including NRF's "Big Show†and RILA's annual Logistics Conference scheduled for January and February, 2010
• Focused educational offerings and operational services for independent retailers
• A single point of integration and dialogue with state retail associations and business groups in state capitals across the United States; and
• A fully-integrated staff.
Completion of the merger requires that both NRF and RILA submit to a thorough due diligence process. The details of the merger are being developed by representatives from RILA and NRF. Both associations' boards of directors must recommend the merger, and both memberships must approve it.
Both RILA and NRF expect the process to be completed by this summer.
Using a combination of video cameras, an Archerfish SmartBox (an intelligent device with advanced video technology) and the Archerfish SmartPortal (a custom web portal), Archerfish 'watches' one or more locations for specific situations, providing peace of mind and helping manage unexpected situations. Examples include confirming children arriving home from school; learning about an unwelcome intruder; knowing an elderly parent living alone is up and about; and ensuring critical business events such as deliveries and store openings happen.
Beginning this month, Archerfish will be offered in the Mid-Atlantic, Florida, Arizona and Nevada markets through Audio Video Warehouse, Bay Distributing and Shifting Sands Stereo Distributing. These organizations comprise the initial phase of a program that will encompass the United States and the United Kingdom later this year.
Q1 VC Numbers: Oh, The Horror
Venture capitalists disbursed just $3 billion into 549 companies last quarter, according to data released over the weekend by the MoneyTree three (PwC, NVCA & Thomson Reuters). That's a 47% dollar drop from the $5.7 billion disbursed in Q4, and a 61% drop from the $7.74 billion disbursed in Q1 2008. The number of companies funded didn't decrease quite as dramatically — suggesting that lowered valuations partially helped drive down the dollar numbers — but still were off 36% and 43.8%, respectively.
Every major industry sector experienced double-digit declines, while the percentage of first-time fundings stayed constant at around 20% (although the value of such deals fell by 48%).
The quarter's busiest firm was Oak Investment Partners, which made 12 investments. Other (quasi) busybodies included SV Life Sciences (11), Draper Fisher Jurvetson (11), Venrock (11), Highland Capital Partners (10), Menlo Ventures (10) and Polaris Venture Partners (10).

cone biopsy
(kone BY-op-see)
A procedure in which a cone-shaped piece of abnormal tissue is removed from the cervix. A scalpel, a laser knife, or a thin wire loop heated by an electric current may be used to remove the tissue. The tissue is then checked under a microscope for signs of disease. Cone biopsy may be used to check for cervical cancer or to treat certain cervical conditions. Types of cone biopsy are LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) and cold knife conization (cold knife cone biopsy). Also called conization.

Nicholas John Hollinghurst
January 1997
This dissertation describes new applications of uncalibrated and weakly calibrated stereo vision to facilitate pick-and-place operations by a robot manipulator.
A `weakly calibrated' stereo rig is one for which only a small number of reference observations have been made (for instance, by observing the robot itself making deliberate motions) and which might be subject to vibrations and small movements during use. Thus the epipolar geometry and camera parameters will be known only approximately. In such an environment, it is shown that an approximate linear model (the affine camera) is well suited to estimating both the epipolar constraint, and the relation between image measurements and the robot's coordinate system (the hand-eye relation).
The stereo system is used to track a pointing hand, implementing a vision-based user interface which allows the operator to specify objects to be grasped and to guide the robot's motion around the workspace. By considering only the plane projectivities between the images and a ground plane, it is shown that points on the plane may be indicated without calibration.
A novel stereo algorithm is developed to match line segments in weakly calibrated views and recover a description of the planar surfaces of objects in the robot's workspace. These can then be reconstructed in an approximate metric frame for grasp planning.
The tracking system employed in this project is a novel type of edge-seeking active contour, based on a template which can deform only affinely in the images. This can be used for tracking the operator's hand, the robot's gripper, and planar facets of objects in the workspace.
By tracking the robot itself, visual feedback can be employed to align the robot's gripper accurately with the surface to be grasped, even in the face of disturbances to the stereo cameras or the robot's control systems. Visually guided grasping is implemented in real time on standard hardware.

World Wrestling Entertainment did its best to push Sunday's Survivor Series show in Boston as a must-see event by hyping up the return of hometown boy John Cena from injury. The promotion even tried to manufacture some last minute interest by floating a story about the hospitalization of Jeff Hardy, perhaps hoping the intrigue over whether or not it was legit would add a little extra excitement.
Instead, what unfolded at the TD Banknorth Garden is likely to go down as one of the dullest Survivor Series cards in recent memory. After a spirited opening match, not too much seemed to click the rest of the way. From an overly long Diva showcase to a plodding Casket Match, the fans seemed content to sit on their hands for most of the night.
The WWE took great pride in getting some non-wrestling media outlets to bite on the Hardy situation, repeatedly mentioning that sites like AOL.com and TMZ.com had reported the story. It became clear that it was indeed a work, as Hardy ran down to intervene in the WWE Championship match between Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov -- which was in need of a jolt, since "boring" chants popped up several times.
In the end, Hardy only ended up gift wrapping the title for surprise participant Edge, returning from his own absence wearing a lumberjack-style beard. He took advantage of some errant chair shots and wound up leaving with the gold.
Canada's other high profile participant, World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, wasn't as fortunate as he headlined against Cena. He even had to enter first, watching from the ring as the challenger enjoyed the most unanimously positive fan reaction he's received in quite some time.
Both men seemed wary and ducked outside early to gather themselves. Cena tried for both of his finishers very early on but to no avail.
The challenger did connect with a Throwback, but Jericho responded with a double underhook DDT that got a two count. He booted Cena in the head from the floor and bounced that same head off the steel stairs on the outside.
Cena found himself in several holds back in the ring but managed to power out for a bulldog. A spinning slam set up the Five Knuckle Shuffle, which the champ countered with the Walls of Jericho.
A second dose of the Walls forced Cena to crawl to the ropes for relief. Both men ended up on the top turnbuckle, but Jericho was pushed down and had to scramble away from an F-U attempt.
After a Codebreaker almost had the match won for Jericho, he kept up his assault with several clotheslines. Cena rallied with a drop toehold into the STF-U.
Jericho rolled up his foe with a small package only to see Cena power off the ground. Boston's favorite son planted Jericho with an F-U and covered for the win, marking the second straight time he was able to capture a title in his first match following an extended absence.
The next WWE pay-per-view is Armageddon on December 16th.
If you've been with us for the past few years, you know the drill by now. Nick's comments will be in plain type with Dale's remarks in italics.
Team HBK (Shawn Michaels, Cryme Tyme, The Great Khali, and Rey Mysterio) vs. Team JBL (John Bradshaw Layfield, MVP, The Miz, John Morrison, and Kane) -- Survivor Series Match
Shawn Michaels as curtain jerker? Say it ain't so! This is actually a nice, fast-paced traditional Survivor Series match that gets the show off to a good start. Khali and Kane get into an early face-off, but it's Rey who eliminates Kane when he jumps off Khali's shoulders to splash him. Morrison does a little mocking of Michaels' signature moves but can't land Shawn's patented top rope elbow. Once JBL is counted out, Morrison finds himself alone against three faces, and pretty soon a dose of Sweet Chin Music wraps up a victory for the fan favorites.
Winner ... Team HBK -- Survivors -- HBK, The Great Khali, Rey Mysterio at 18 and 15 seconds
Match Rating: 6.5/10
Eve interviews Triple H, who says if Jeff Hardy doesn't wrestle tonight, he will scratch and claw his way back to a title shot. Hunter then cites Vladimir Kozlov's lack of experience in title matches.
I can't believe Hunter forgot to mention that he's been keeping abreast of the Hardy situation on TMZ.com!
Team Smackdown -- (Michelle McCool, Maryse, Natalya, Victoria, and Maria) vs. Team RAW (Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Jillian Hall, Candice Michelle, Kelly Kelly)
So all feuds are set aside for brand loyalty? Okaaaay. Phoenix and McCool lock up, but Maryse quickly tags herself and the other Divas must separate the two. Maria then tags herself in. Kelly Kelly tags in and flips over the top rope and gets a near fall. Victoria tags herself in, but Kelly counters a hurricanrana and gets the pin. Maryse enters the ring and quickly eliminates Kelly Kelly. Michelle McCool and Mickie James trade near falls. James finally gets the pin with a DDT on McCool. Maryse flies in and gets a quick pin on James. Candice Michelle and Natalya face off, and Candice is on the business end of a Sharpshooter. Candice responds with a spear and rolls up Natalya for the pin. Jillian tags in to face Maria, hitting a back elbow. Maria scores a pin with the victory roll. Candice takes Jillian's place and pins Maria. Candice taps out to a modified figure four from Maryse. Phoenix catches Maryse come off the top rope, and then counters a DDT into the Glam Slam and the RAW Divas win.
I have to say that I was rooting for Maryse to win this one somehow. She was one of the people made available to the Canadian media during interview sessions leading up to WrestleMania 24 and all I could do is stare at... um, I mean, listen to her beautiful accent. Yeah, I'll go with that.
Winner ... Team RAW -- Survivor -- Beth Phoenix at nine minutes and 53 seconds
Match Rating: 2/10
A sullen Matt Hardy gives Todd Grisham an update on his brother's condition. After spending all day in the hospital with him, Matt states that Jeff was the victim of blunt force trauma to the head. Who did it? Matt doesn't know.
The Undertaker vs. The Big Show -- Casket Match
Winner... The Undertaker at 12 minutes and 45 seconds.
Match Rating: 4/10
Carlito and Primo want to spend a little quality time with the Bella twins. Their game-spitting attempts are interrupted by the arrival of The Gobbledy Gooker. Fitting, I suppose, since Gooker was "born" at Survivor Series in 1990, making it now old enough to vote and bet on the horses in the U.S.! In any case, Carlito and Primo are convinced that the costume is the most recent Charlie Haas foolishness. Imagine their surprise, then, when Haas shows up. Then who's in the costume? It's the Boogey Man, and he's coming to get you. Pay-per-view bonuses for everyone!
Randy Orton rallies his team of heels for their traditional Survivor Series match, but there's still one person who doesn't seem to be on the same page: Cody Rhodes. I'm not sure where WWE is going with this storyline between Orton and Priceless, but I'll give them credit for sticking with it and allowing it to build.
Team Batista (Batista, R-Truth, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, and Matt Hardy vs. Team Orton (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Shelton Benjamin, William Regal, Mark Henry)
There are two things going on in this match. Along with the aforementioned tension between Orton and Rhodes, the WWE continues to build up Batista's "one man alone against the world" deal by eliminating all of his partners while all of the heels except for Regal are still alive. Naturally, Batista runs right through Henry and Benjamin to make the odds a little more palatable. He's not home free though, and while he's occupied with Rhodes, Orton is waiting to hit him with the RKO. The Legend Killer covers and scores the final pinfall.
Winner: Team Orton -- Survivors -- Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes at 16 minutes and 14 seconds.
Match Rating: 6/10
Eve asks Vladimir Kozlov his thoughts on Jeff Hardy. Kozlov says it doesn't matter if he competes or not. J.R. gives us an update on Jeff Hardy and he will not compete tonight.
Vladimir Kozlov (challenger) vs. Triple H (champion) -- WWE Title Match
Kozlov tosses Hunter out of the ring after a series of holds. Vladimir slams HHH into the security barrier and then the ring apron. A "boring" chant breaks out as Kozlov locks in a gut wrench. The Game breaks free but runs right into a scoop slam. Hunter hits a Pedigree out of nowhere, but Vicki Guerrero appears on stage to announce that this will be a Triple Threat Match after all. It's not Jeff Hardy, but Edge, sporting a scary beard. Edge spears Hunter and covers, but Jeff Hardy hits the ring. Hardy grabs a chair, swinging for Edge but connecting with HHH. Hardy nails Kozlov, but is in turn speared by Edge. The Rated R Superstar covers Triple H and wins the WWE Title.
Winner... and new WWE Champion ...Edge ... at 14 minutes and 23 seconds.
John Cena (challenger) vs. Chris Jericho (champion) -- World Heavyweight Title Match
Winner... and new World Heavyweight champion ... John Cena at 21 minutes and 10 seconds.

With a four-man crew assembled in SLAM! Wrestling's Southern stronghold of Central Pennsylvania, Dale Plummer and unofficial historians Brian Whorl and Jason Neidig were forced to tap out to disinterest during Sunday's show.

'Love and Other Fiction'
Send a link to a friend
15, 2014]
The subject was
love, of course, with Valentine's Day upon us, and that's why the
grizzled and semi-grizzled members of the world dilemma think tank
had settled upon it. Well, to be fair, they agreed to talk about
someone else's love life, naturally.
And then, about six months after
Sarah opened the Read Me Now Bookstore, she threw everlasting
gasoline on the fire by hanging the now-famous sign on a long
bookshelf, saying "Love and other Fiction."
This spurred on speculation (none dare call it gossip) about an
unhappy love affair in Sarah's past. The most interesting
speculations centered around either (1.) losing a lover in a foreign
war, (2.) secretly lusting after an actor on afternoon television's
"As the Worm Squirms" or (3.) being left at the altar by a
Naturally, no one came right out and asked her, as that would be
... pushy? Rude? Nobody's business?
The "girls" down at the Curl Up 'N Dye beauty salon couldn't get
the job done, so the world dilemma think tank decided to do the
manly thing and confront her.
The four-man coffee'd-up deputation walked into the store en
masse, and Doc had been assigned the role of grand
inquisitor, since he pried into people's private lives as part of
his official duties.
"Hi, guys," Sarah said, smiling. "What can I do for you?"
[to top of second
"Sarah," Doc said, "we'd like to know ... you know ... so we can
put an end to all the speculation."
"Know what, Doc?"
"Well, why do you have that sign up there. 'Love and Other
Fiction.' You know. Is it something in your past? Did you have an
unhappy love affair?"
"You certainly come right out with it, don't you, Doc? Well ...
it's like this. I needed a sign up there and I painted that one and
put it up. That's why. As for any unhappy love affairs I may have
had, how many women had you consorted with before you met Mrs. Doc?
How about you, Herb? Dud? Marvin? Let's get it all out on the board
and talk about it."
Ten minutes later, the guys ordered fresh coffee back at the
philosophy counter.
"I never thought Sarah would be like that," Herb said.
"Yeah," said Doc. "Kinda nosy, isn't she?"
"Some things are just ... personal, Doc," said Dud.
Marvin just quietly smiled and put sugar in his coffee.

- Ultra-precise 48-bit DSP processing for high-definition sound
- Intelligent dynamic control for consistent clarity at any output level
- Intelligent onboard 3-channel mixer
- Flexible HPF control
- Durable, compact ABS enclosure
- High-efficiency 1100W Class-D amplifiers

- Read More
All DXR Series speakers now come with a 7 year warranty from Yamaha. All you need to do is register your DXR within 6 months of purchase to qualify. Registration can only done online and requires an account with Yamaha. Create your account here:
Yamaha DXR10 loudspeakers offer superb high-definition sound and class-leading sound pressure levels in a compact and extremely functional design that provides a level of versatility unmatched by any speaker in its class today. The DXR10 is perfectly suited for front-of-house sound, monitors, simple amplification, rigged applications and more. Combining the DXR10 with Yamaha's DXS subwoofers will further elevate your system's performance, giving you versatile control of its thunderous bottom end. With the perfect balance of raw power and innovative speaker technologies, you can depend on DXR Series speakers to deliver the full power of your performance to every member of your audience.
The Power of 'D'
Yamaha's development team took full advantage of a number of advanced digital technologies, both new and refined, when creating the DXR10. Everything from the detailed management of crossover, EQ and time alignment to the limiter settings, protection functions and precise dynamic control of the sound, was subjected to endless simulation, in-house and field testing to ensure that these speakers produce the highest level of sound quality at the highest output levels possible. Combined with Yamaha's advanced analogue signal processing and acoustic technologies, the DXR10 delivers ultimate performance.
Ultra-Precise 48-Bit DSP Processing for High-Definition Sound
The DXR10 features Yamaha's proprietary FIR-X tuning, utilising linear phase FIR filters for the crossover network. FIR-X tuning simultaneously optimises frequency and phase response while adjusting the time alignment between the HF and LF transducers. This creates a very smooth response around the crossover point, providing much better clarity and imaging than what is possible with typical crossovers.
All signals are precisely processed by a 48-bit (76-bit accumulator) high-performance processor for high definition sound quality. The Yamaha DXR10 employs high-precision 24-bit discrete A/D and D/A converters with superior S/N ratio and dynamic range.
Intelligent Dynamic Control for Consistent Clarity at Any Output Level
D-CONTOUR is an intelligent multi-band compressor that gives you powerful and consistent sound throughout all output levels. By constantly monitoring the output of multiple frequency bands and calculating the optimum EQ adjustments for each, even the maximum sound output maintains outstanding clarity and musicality.
With the DXR10, D-CONTOUR provides a more detailed tuning of your sound with two different settings: FOH/ MAIN mode or MONITOR mode. FOH/MAIN mode boosts low-frequency to compensate for low-end that is typically missing when speakers are used in suspended applications or mounted on a speaker stand. MONITOR mode is completely optimised for floor monitor application by intelligently taming down the low-frequency that adds up due to floor reflection, smoothing out a wide range of frequency bands to give you stunning clarity for monitoring your sound. Both of these presets were perfected by performing countless listening tests with skilled sound engineers, giving you a multi-band compressor that performs dynamically, delivering consistent sound with low distortion at any output level.
Compact, High-Power DXR Amp Modules
The DXR10 is equipped with highly efficient Class-D amplifiers that were optimally designed to match the DXR10's HF and LF transducers. These high-performance amplifiers deliver the highest sound output in their class with 1100W of power, producing an impressive SPL up to 133dB. They also provide very fast attack and superior transient response, which greatly contribute to these speakers' incredible audio performance.
Intelligent Onboard 3-Channel Mixer
The Yamaha DXR10 features a flexible onboard mixer with a variety of inputs, making it ideal for simple vocal/instrument amplification. With its flexible IN/OUT, the DXR10 can comprise a full sound reinforcement system, or seamlessly integrate into a setup utilizing DSR or DXS Series speakers.
The DXR10 onboard mixer can handle up to three simultaneous inputs. It accepts both Mic and Line level inputs, giving you the flexibility to connect to a variety of sources from microphones to line level instruments and portable audio devices. When in MIC position, a HPF is automatically activated to roll off unwanted low frequency.
Each channel has an individual volume control, letting you mix three discrete audio sources. THRU out passes the input signal from Channel 1 and LINK OUT sends mixed signal from all channels-ideal for daisy-chaining or routing the signal to another destination. LINK OUT is very useful for configuring a compact SR system with another DXR, while LINK MODE allows you to easily switch between stereo or dual-mono configurations.
Flexible HPF Control
The DXR10 features flexible HPF control to perfectly match with DSR and DXS subwoofers. You can choose either 100Hz or 120Hz depending on which subwoofer you are using in combination with the DXR10. DXS Series subwoofers feature flexible LPF settings allowing you to find the optimal HPF/LPF balance for your sound.
Durable, Compact ABS Enclosure
Full-range models are moulded in rugged, non-resonant ABS enclosures and are designed to dampen down vibrations caused by high output levels, producing less distortion and superior sonic quality. The road-tested enclosures are equipped with heavy-duty steel grilles and ergonomic, gripped aluminum handles that greatly improve durability and portability.
Dual-Angle Pole Mount Socket
Depending on the venue, sometimes your mix can fall prey to low ceilings or other room attributes that can impede a clear, even mix and detract from the audiences' listening experience significantly. The DXR10's pole mount socket offers two positions - 0 and 7 degrees - to direct the acoustic energy away from reflective surfaces and on to your audience where it belongs.
Rigging Points for Standard Eye-Bolts and Optional U-Brackets
The Yamaha DXR10 comes equipped with rigging points, allowing for rigged application with standard eyebolts (not included). When more versatility is required, optional U-brackets allow simple and easy rigging in both horizontal and vertical configurations.
Yamaha DXR10 Specifications (Per Speaker)
• Frequency Range: 56 Hz - 20 kHz
• Maximum output level: 131 dB SPL
• Output Power: 1100W

|Large Double Facts
|Doubles Facts
We use our combinations of 5, combinations of 10, and double facts chart to play "Math Performance." When we have an extra few minutes or transition time, I call on one of my students to come up to the front of group time and tell a math fact. Sometimes I say which anchor chart or skill we are working on, and sometimes I let them choose. It is always open ended. They can use the anchor charts or create their own combinations. For example: If I say choose a combination of 10, the student can use the ones posted on the chart (10+0=10, 5+5=10, etc.) or one of their own (100-90 = 10, 5 X 2 =10). It has really increased my students math facts memorization this year along with giving them more strategies.
Thanks for stopping by.
