"Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift." Matt 5: 21-24
Jesus was a radical thinker. He confronted the conservative fundamentalism of his time with some very difficult concepts. One of the most difficult concepts for the Jews to accept was reconciliation. They believed that God was vengeful and visited His wrath on sinners in the form of illness, poverty, and misfortune. So it was easy for the Jews to identify sinners and they treated them accordingly.
Jesus rejected that way of thinking. He taught that we are all God's children. We all need saving, and it was God's job to judge, not ours. In fact, withholding judgment isn't nearly enough, we have to figure out how to love everyone – particularly those that we feel were sinners. In this passage from Matthew, Jesus is saying that if any of us are guilty of harboring ANY unkind thoughts about our brother, we are in MORE spiritual danger than murderers.
In other words, as He did through out this chapter, He is expanding the definition of what it means to be a disciple. It's not enough to just follow the commandments. We have to love our brothers, even if we think they are murderers. That love by the way goes way beyond the simplistic "I love the man but hate the act". Later in this same chapter He says we have to "walk" with them until we understand them. We have to embrace them, even when we think they have injured us. We have to trust them even when we feel they have stolen from us. In fact, it is so important that we sincerely resolve any differences with our brothers, that we should make that a higher priority than going to church and asking for our own forgiveness.
This is radical thinking that I don't see many Christians practicing today.
Here's just one example.
I've been corresponding with a handful of different people who felt that a vote for Obama was immoral because President-elect Obama is Pro-Choice. The news last week carried a piece about a Catholic priest in South Carolina who went so far as to suggest that a vote for Obama was a sinful act. As a result, those who committed that act needed to confess that sin before they could receive communion.
This may seem well beyond the pale for many, but I can confirm that there are some who feel that our country is going to suffer the wrath of God because of our failure to elect a Pro-Life Presidential candidate.
I've already posted a couple of things on abortion. I won't repeat those posts here, but just provide a summary and link if anyone wants to do any more research.
Good ideas bad results – Practical ways to reduce the number of abortions
Eternal Life – Practical reasons why "life begins at conception" doesn't work
Unto Us a Child is Born – God respects choice
Greater Good – Which is worse, abortion or sin
What I did want to spend some time on is this question of Pro-Life versus Pro-Choice as a political issue.
First a quick summary of the issues.
Pro-Life folks feel that there is Biblical evidence that life begins at conception, so abortion is the equivalent to murder. As a result, they feel it should be treated as murder by our legal system.
Pro-Choice folks are more concerned about the rights of women and the control that women should have over their own bodies.
Roe v. Wade is the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision prohibiting states from enacting legislation prohibiting abortion.
Planned Parenthood v. Casey is the 1992 Supreme Court decision where the court reaffirmed Roe v. Wade using the principle of stare decisis. Essentially, when something has been law for a long time and has become part of the fabric of society, it is beyond the scope of the courts to change it.
The bottom line is that the past thirty years have polarized the voting public and made a lot of money for politicians on both sides of the issue.
So let's dig a little deeper into the claim that a a vote for a Pro-life candidate is a moral issue.
First an easy one. If a Pro-Life stance is just a moral litmus test of the character of candidates, I suggest that it is faulty because there have been plenty of Pro-life senators and congressmen over the past eight years who fell far short of the mark as ethical lawmakers. So there it has to be more than that.
If it's not just a moral litmus test and Pro-Life supporters are looking for real practical change, then shouldn't those candidates who deliver real change be the ones who earn their vote regardless of whether or not they pass the litmus test?
In other words, since it is unlikely that Roe v. Wade is going to get overturned anytime soon, and the longer it stands the more difficult it will be to overturn, then shouldn't Pro-Life voters be demanding more substantive practical progress in reducing the number of abortions from their candidates?
Well as you might imagine, I've done a little research on the subject. Here are the statistics (abortions per 1000 women of child bearing age) for the last couple Presidents through 2005.
Reagan – 29.28 – 27.37
Bush I – 27.37 – 25.89
Clinton – 25.89 – 21.30
Bush II – 21.30 – 19.41
What is interesting is that the President who had the most dramatic affect on reducing the number of abortions was the only one of the bunch who was Pro-Choice – Bill Clinton.
Here's the bottom line from what I have learned so far from those single issue Pro-Life voters. They are unconcerned about whether or not the person they voted for actually does anything substantive to change the status quo. They view their vote as a moral imperative that goes beyond any practical measure. They feel that when they vote Pro-Life, they are voting Pro-God.
My concern, at this particular point is time, is that we don't have the luxury of this sort of debate anymore. We can't have folks sitting on the sidelines self-righteously predicting God's wrath for our moral weakness. Our country is in tough shape. Right after 9-11, a call went out to the American people and they responded as one, even though a lot of us thought the wrong person with questionable morals was in the White House then too.
I think that the situation is even more serious now. We all need to be in the same boat rowing in the same direction because our ship of state is perilously close to the falls. We don't have time to argue about the details. On some things we are just going to have to agree to disagree at least until we are in a safer place. Hopefully, we CAN all agree that we care enough about each other to put aside partisanship, pick up an oar, and start rowing.

We reported last month about Schools filtering LGBTQIA sites.
The sites being blocked have included Gay Straight Alliances, GLSEN, support sites, and even blocking news items related to LGBTQIA issues. This affects all students, who are blocked from vital information, but especially the vulnerable LGBTQIA youth that are the inspiration for this site's being.
Students from around the USA have been checking up on their schools filtering policies and reporting in. The ACLU has been collating all this information and has now starting acting against the offending school districts.
The initial round of legal action has resulted in letters sent to school districts in Michigan, Kansas and Western Missouri demanding they stop their censorship, and Freedom of Information requests to school districts throughout the rest of the USA on their filtering policies.
Its sad to see that schools have been doing this filtering, often hurting their most needy students, but hopefully the ACLU can start the momentum coming from the legal direction.
However its only part of the story, we need to contact our representatives, our board members and Principles to demand that censorship will not be tolerated.
I've started a new petition to be sent to the House, Senate and the Whitehouse demanding they take action against such unconstitutional, discriminatory and potentially life threatening censorship.
Please sign the petition to make your voice heard.

The Mathematics Education program is designed for the preparation of mathematics teachers who can effectively design instruction, implementation, and assessment of mathematical concepts, principles, and skills that have been identified by national and state educational bodies as fundamental mathematical standards. The goals, objectives, and experiences incorporated into the program reflect the current state of professional knowledge and recommended practices deduced from professional literature and experience. The Mathematics Education program includes the philosophical, historical, and psychological foundations; a sequence of generic courses in preparation for teaching; and additional content courses. The final experiences allow for synthesis of the program's fabric and the emergence of a highly trained, knowledgeable, and proactive individual who is inspired to learn and teach mathematics.
Those entering the College of Education and Human Services must meet University admissions requirements as well as specific COEHS admissions criteria.

The most frequently asked questions
What is karaoke?
A: The word "karaoke" comes from the Japanese word "Kara? which means empty, and "Oke" (Okesutora), which means orchestra. Rather than include both vocals and music, karaoke tracks will be without lead vocals. The lead vocals are provided by the performer singing the karaoke song!
What is a CDG?
A: A CDG, which stands for Compact Disc + Graphics, is the standard format for most English karaoke discs. These discs can either be played on a karaoke machine that supports CDG or on a regular player that can play CDs. Keep in mind that you will not be able to see any words on your screen if you play CDGs on a CD player.
What is a DVD?
A: A DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a disc that is able to store large amounts of information on a single disc. This format is different from CDGs so you will need a karaoke player capable of reading DVDs to play this format.
What is the difference between CDGs, VCDs, and DVDs?
A: CDGs have no video running in the background when the song is playing. This means you will only see the words on the screen and nothing else. DVDs can occasionally have a video running in the background, in addition to lyrics, while the music is playing. DVDs will typically have more songs than either CDGs or VCDs.
What is MP3G?
A: MP3G is the newest format for karaoke music. There are 2 files stored on the disc, an MP3 file and a Graphics file. A MP3 is a compressed audio file. The graphics file is what you see on the screen. This format has the advantage of having a lot more songs on one disc compared to a CDG since MP3 files are a lot smaller than CDG files. This format will only play on MP3G players.
What is the difference between a CDG and a CD+G?
A: They are the exact same thing.
Will your machines play the discs you sell?
A: Yes, our machines play CDG, DVD and MP3G downloads
I am looking for a CD. What should I buy?
A: We do not stock regular CD's. However, you can purchase CDG. They are meant to be played on CDG Karaoke Machines
What is the quality of the discs?
A: All discs have different quality. We stock Zoom Karaoke and Sunfly Karaoke Discs – which are renowned for being of top quality
I just bought a disc from your site. It's not by the original artist!
A: Karaoke discs will never be by the original artist.
How do I search for a song on your website?
A: On the top right hand corner of our homepage there is a search box where you can type in what you are looking for. Do not make your search too general. To search specific songs, click the search description tab.
I need a disc with no vocals on it whatsoever. How do I find one on your site?
A: There is no way for us to tell whether the discs will have absolutely no vocals on it or not. This will depend on whether the manufacturer of the disc decides to put in vocals. Ninety nine percent of our discs will have some form of background, helper, and/or chorus vocal on it.
What is Amplifier?
A: Mixing Amplifiers combine both karaoke mixer and amplifier (receiver) in one unit. You will need an amplifier if you want to power external passive speakers. You can turn any DVD, VCD or CD+G player into karaoke system with a mixing amplifier.
What is a Mixer?
A: Karaoke mixers combine the music and vocal source into one and enhance the sound quality. A karaoke mixer can turn a DVD, VCD or CD+G Player into a karaoke machine. A karaoke mixer has some important functions: microphone inputs, volume control, key controller, echo, delay, repeat, and vocal reducer. Depending on your needs or budget, you may or may not need all of the functions.
What is the warranty on your machines?
A: Most machines come with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. Please check the paperwork or warranty card that is included with your purchase to get proper details about the warranty of your item.
What is a quarter-inch or XLR cable?
A: This usually refers to a microphone cable with a quarter-inch or XLR plug at the end of the cable.
What is a RCA cable?
A: A RCA cable is a cable with red, white, and yellow colored plugs at the ends of the cable. This cable is usually used to connect the audio and video from the karaoke machine to your TV and/or amplifier, mixer etc. This is sometimes referred to as AV Cables.
What is the difference between Passive and Active Speakers?
A: Passive Speakers will require an amplifier and active speakers have amplification built in

|The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor
I was very happy to see two smiling, energetic faces at the visitor center. These two gentlemen in the photos below were mugging for photos and signing their memoirs and books for the delight of tourists. They were both survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and regular visitors and exhibitors at the National monument. It reminded me to think of the strong, vigorous young soldiers they must have been in 1941. Their energy was inspirational!

My laboratory investigates vector-borne diseases. Studies are directed toward understanding Lyme disease, Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, and West Nile virus. Efforts on Lyme disease include exploring immunity to Borrelia burgdorferi, selective B. burgdorferi gene expression in vivo, and the immunobiology of Lyme arthritis. Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis is caused by a newly described pathogen, transmitted by Ixodes scapularis ticks, that persists within neutrophils. We are investigating the molecular strategies that this pathogen uses to survive in polymorphonuclear leukocytes. West Nile virus can cause fatal encephalitis, and we seek to understand the pathogenesis of this emerging disease. Finally, we are also developing molecular approaches to prevent ticks from feeding on a mammalian host, thereby interfering with pathogen transmission.

Cycling indoors can make cycling outdoors better
Winter can be a tough time for those who stay in shape by bicycling. Icy roads, short days and cold temperatures can make riding impossible, if not unpleasant.
Chris Kelley, a local fitness coach who also works in real estate, has an answer.
It's not spin class, a popular stationary form of indoor cycling. Nor is it the traditional stationary bike, which can usually be found covered with dust and cobwebs in a cellar or attic.

Heidegger's recently published notebooks reveal an anti-Semitism more deeply seated than suspected. At the New Yorker's Page-Turner blog, Joshua Rothman reflects on the flaws of the philosopher he loves. "It's . . . impossible to set aside Heidegger's sins—and they cannot help but reduce the ardency with which his readers relate to him. . . . Even if his philosophy isn't contaminated by Nazism, our relationship with him is." But Heidegger's own philosophy provides an out, as Rothman notes: after all, "being wrong" is an "irreducible part of being a person": "human beings are not calculators, but conjecturers."

Azithromycin Drops
COMMON BRAND(S): Azasite
GENERIC NAME(S): Azithromycin
This medication is used to treat certain eye infections. It is a macrolide antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
This medication treats only bacterial eye infections. It will not work for other types of eye infections. Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.
How to use Azithromycin Drops
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using azithromycin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
Do not wear contact lenses while you are using this medicine or while you have the bacterial eye infection. Sterilize contact lenses according to manufacturer's directions, and check with your doctor before you begin using them again.
If you are using this medication for the first time, hold the dropper upright and remove the cap. This will release any extra pressure in the dropper. Put the cap back on before shaking the dropper.
Before each use, hold the dropper upside down and shake once. With the dropper still upside down, remove the cap. Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place 1 drop into the pouch, usually twice daily (8 to 12 hours apart) for the first 2 days and then once daily for the next 5 days or as directed by your doctor. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed.
If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the drops to enter the eye.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day. Continue using it for the full time prescribed. Stopping the medication too soon may result in a return of the infection.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
Side Effects
Temporary eye irritation/stinging/burning or blurred vision may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: vision changes, eye pain.
Use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in other types of eye infections, including fungal infections. Contact your doctor if you notice new or worsening eye symptoms.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following symptoms of a serious allergic reaction: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.

It is not known whether azithromycin passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Your doctor or pharmacist may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for them. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use.
Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.
This medicine may be harmful if swallowed. If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
Do not share this medication with others.
This medication has been prescribed for your current condition only. Throw away the unused portion after treatment is completed or after 14 days (see also Storage section). Do not use it later for another infection unless told to do so by your doctor. A different medication may be necessary in that case.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Refrigerate the unopened bottle at 36-46 degrees F (2-8 degrees C). Store the opened bottle between 36-77 degrees F (2-25 degrees C) away from heat. Do not freeze. The medication expires 14 days after the bottle is opened. Keep all medicines away from children and pets.

Scientists tackle Huntington's disease by targeting mutant gene
Huntington's disease is an inherited, neurodegenerative disorder that usually appears in mid-adult life and leads to uncoordinated body movements and cognitive decline. The disease is due to multiple repetitions of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence (i.e. the nucleotides CAG) in the gene encoding the 'Huntingtin' protein. This sequence is present more than 35 times in patients suffering from this disease, while it is repeated 10 to 29 times in healthy patients. In a recent study, published in the journal PNAS, researchers in Spain succeeded in reducing the chromosomal expression of the mutant gene, which could potentially hinder disease development.
Researchers say adult humans specifically need the Huntingtin protein, which is located in different tissues of the body, to ensure the development and survival of neurons. The presence of a mutant gene results in an abnormal form of the Huntingtin protein. When this happens, the body is affected by a number of symptoms, including involuntary movements, behavioural changes and dementia. Despite inroads made into this condition, no one has been able to find a cure for Huntington's disease. Patients are currently treated to ease their pain and discomfort, and most patients die around 15 years after their symptoms first appear.
Scientists know that one gene is responsible for Huntington's disease, which is not the case for other neurological disorders like Parkinson or Alzheimer. So they are hopeful that developing a therapy based on the inhibition of the mutant Huntingtin gene could lead to the development of a treatment for it. Current studies focus on the modification of proteins that are contained in all living beings, such as the Zinc Finger proteins (ZFP) that have the ability to recognise and bind to specific DNA sequences. Briefly, this process results in a regulated gene function.
Researchers from the CRG took their work one step further by reducing the chromosomal expression of the mutant gene, potentially hindering the development of the disease.
'We designed specific ZFP that recognize and specifically bind to more than 35 repetitions of CAG triplet, preventing the expression of the gene containing these repeats and reducing the production of the mutant Huntingtin protein,' said lead author Mireia Garriga-Canut, a researcher from the Gene Network Engineering group at the CRG. 'When applying this treatment to a transgenic mouse model carrying the human mutant Huntingtin gene, we observed a delayed onset of the symptoms.'
Carmen Agustín Pavón, one of the authors of the study, said, 'The next step is to optimise the design for an effective and durable treatment for patients. This would pave the way to find a therapy for Huntington's disease.'

Intel launched its updated Centrino platform today with a variety of new features and performance enhancements. Dubbed Santa Rosa, this new platform will be the basis of Intel's Centrino brand through 2007 and the first part of 2008. Features of Santa Rosa include:
800MHz FSB
Although Santa Rosa is based around the same Merom core that's currently used in existing Centrino products, this refresh pushes the bus speed up from 667MHz to 800MHz and adds support for Dynamic Front-Side Bus Switching. This new technology allows the FSB to be underclocked when desired in order to save power. Previously, Centrino processors operated in Low Frequency Mode when set for reduced-power operation, but the FSB was kept at full speed. By cutting the FSB speed in half using Dynamic FSB switching, Santa Rosa should be able to save more power than before. Intel refers to this combination of chip-and-FSB underclocking as Super Low Frequency Mode, or Super LFM.
965 Mobile Express chipset
The 965 Mobile Express chipset is a tweaked version of Intel's 965 Express "Broadwater" chipset released last year. Features include up to 10 USB 2.0 connections, 6 x1 PCI-Express lanes, 1 x16 PCI Express lane for discrete video, and support for dual-channel DDR2-667. Integrated video support will be via Intel's GMA X3100 IGP (derived from the X3000), and will offer full support for all Windows Vista Aero functions and features. Given the X3000's decidedly lackluster performance in virtually any 3D-oriented test, however, it's unlikely Intel's integrated solution will be acceptable for non-2D applications.
802.11n support
Intel refers to this version of their wireless router as Draft-N support, meaning that the company still can't guarantee that their hardware will be 100% compatible with the specification's final iteration. Intel's webcast of the Santa Rosa launch, however, makes it clear that the company held off releasing 802.11n-class hardware until it felt the chances of ending up less-than perfectly compliant were minimal. The new router provides up to 2x the range of 802.11g solutions, and offers a larger variety of sleep states to enhance notebook battery life.
Intel Turbo Memory
Formerly known as Robson, Intel Turbo Memory refers to using a slice of solid-state flash memory as a disk cache to speed overall system performance and reduce the need for hard drive access. Intel's own benchmarks indicate a dramatic performance boost when using Intel Turbo Memory, though vendor-tested scenarios should always be taken with a substantial grain of salt. Unlike other Centrino features, Intel Turbo Memory is not required for a system to qualify for the Centrino label. Currently, Turbo Memory is available in 512MB and 1GB flavors, though Intel expects these amounts to rise as the platform matures.
A variety of system vendors have already announced systems based on Santa Rosa, so it shouldn't be long before notebooks based on the new platform appear in the wild. With its bevy of new technologies and features, Centrino's fourth iteration will undoubtedly be a strong seller—but there's no telling yet whether Intel's new power reduction technologies will yield a substantial increase in battery life.

Malaria vaccine candidate has promising safety tolerability profile in infants
At a forum today in Seattle, experts released the first study to test GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) investigational RTS, S/AS02D malaria vaccine in African infants. It serves as the first proof of concept in this population that the vaccine has a promising safety and tolerability profile and reduces malaria parasite infection and illness due to malaria, according to a paper published today online in The Lancet.

If you've done any internet research on high-end loudspeakers, then you are no doubt already familiar with Axiom audio. For those not yet in the know, Axiom Audio is an Ontario, Canada based speaker manufacturer that just happens to be celebrating its 30-year anniversary. Axiom began in a garage one day when chief designer Ian Colquhoun crafted his first pair of speakers, then grew over time as a new-found company developed one award winning product after another. Roughly ten years ago, Axiom launched its website, began selling products directly to customers all over the world and changed the game for speaker makers everywhere. One of the pioneers of the Internet-direct selling model, Axiom bypasses costly distribution and sales channels and is able to offer a high-quality product at prices that defy convention.
Axiom offers a broad array of speakers and subwoofers that include everything from in-wall and on-wall products to floor-standing speakers of titanic proportions. Here, we review Axiom's Epic Grandmaster 500 system which includes their M22 bookshelf, VP150 center channel, QS8 surrounds and the EP500 DSP subwoofer.
Out of the Box
Since Axiom is an internet-direct speaker maker, they ship all of their products from their manufacturing facility in Ontario, Canada. For that reason, product packaging is extremely important. No one wants to spend considerable bucks on a speaker system, wait a week or so for it to arrive then find out that their gear has been damaged in transit. To avoid this issue, Axiom has done a top-notch job of isolating and padding their speaker boxes to ensure safe transit.
Beyond the foam padding we found each speaker cinched up in black cloth sacks. As we disrobed each speaker, we noted that our review system came with a real Rosewood veneer dressed with a satin finish. By default, Axiom's speakers are priced with either Boston Cherry or Black Oak vinyl finishes but, for an additional fee, Axiom offers a myriad of very attractive finishing options for their entire line of speakers. You may choose from 15 custom vinyl finishes or opt for one of six different real wood finishes with your choice of satin, semi-gloss or piano gloss. There is also an option for a solid, high gloss piano black finish. Custom finished speakers are made to order, so delivery will be extended out anywhere from 10-20 days beyond the normal shipping time frame.
The quality of the Rosewood finish was excellent. Be aware, however, that the real wood finish options come with a bit of an upgrade fee. For this system, real wood finishes add $755.00 to the asking price; $1211.00 for the Rosewood version that we received.
Features and Design
All of the speakers in the Epic 500 system (save the subwoofer, of course) use the same 5.25" midrange driver and 1" titanium dome tweeter, albeit in various configurations.
The M22 bookshelf speaker combines two of the 5.25" drivers with one tweeter in a tall, slim, rear-ported cabinet. It is rated to play down to 60hz, and measures 19.8″ x 7.3″ x 8″ and 16 lbs.
The VP150 center channel is comprised of three, center mounted 5.25" drivers with two tweeters on the far side of its sealed cabinet. It is rated to perform down to 85hz and measures in at 7.5″ x 27.5 " x 7.5 and 21.8 lbs.
The QS8 surrounds are cleverly designed in a trapezoid shaped cabinet with one of two 5.25" drivers on the top and the other on the bottom. Each tweeter is positioned on opposing faces of the trapezoid, thus aiming sound left, right, up and down. The speaker is rated to play flat down to 95hz and measures in at measures 8.25″ x 11″ x 6" and 13.5 lbs. Each QS8 comes packed with a wall mount kit that positions the speaker flush against the wall. Given the nature of the design, the speaker really should be placed on the wall. To stand mount it, one would need to come up with a clever stand solution, since the driver at the bottom needs to be able to play into the room, not into the base of a stand.
The EP500 DSP subwoofer is built the old fashioned way: with a big driver, big cabinet and big amp. The 19.5″ x 15″ x 19.5"cabinet is vented on the front and houses a single, 12" woofer and a 500 watt RMS DSP controlled amplifier which add up to a combined weight of 72.6 lbs.

Sunken Road at Battle of Antietam
Scene at the Sunken Road at the Battle of Antietam. The Battle of Antietam, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, was fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland and was the first major battle in the Civil War to take place in the North. This battle was the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with about 23,000 casualties. The Sunken Road was worn down by years of wagon traffic, which formed a natural trench for the men.

Dairylea Members Approve Merger with DFA
During a special meeting today in Syracuse, N.Y., members of Dairylea Cooperative Inc. approved the proposed merger with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA).
The merger will become official on April 1, and combines Dairylea's Northeast-based 1,200 members with DFA's 13,000 nationwide dairy farmer members.
The cooperatives have enjoyed a successful working relationship since DFA was formed in 1998. Working together, Dairylea and DFA have created efficiencies in milk assembly, transportation and marketing, as well as joint management of Farm Services and membership operations in the Northeast.
"In many ways, it will just be business as usual as we expand upon the working relationship DFA and Dairylea have established over the past 15 years," said Rick Smith, DFA president and chief executive officer.
Greg Wickham, Dairylea's chief executive officer, highlighted that the merger brings brands, plants and end products back to Dairylea members while maintaining the values, strategic goals and vision of Dairylea.
"This merger makes sense because DFA and Dairylea share strategic goals, our values align, our missions are similar, and our vision is the same," Wickham said. "Dairy farmers take pride in producing milk for consumer products and merging with DFA allows us to take our capital and assist with growing existing plants and brands to feed the world."
According to William Beeman, Dairylea chairman and president, "Dairylea has a proud past, and this merger with DFA will ensure a promising future for our members."
Although a national cooperative, DFA's grassroots structure ensures the Cooperative's Northeast Area Council will maintain local governance familiar to Dairylea members.
When the merger takes effect on April 1, Dairylea's nearly 300 employees will become employees of DFA and continue to provide service to Northeast dairy farms out of the offices currently shared by both Cooperatives in Syracuse, N.Y.
There will be no disruption in operations or milk procurement in the Northeast.

169 is a free ride at some T4 schools.DO THAT INSTEADsource: Guy who owes the same as someone who owns a nice home and a nice car, but wears a watch he bought from the dollar store.
Check out: http://outsidethelawschoolscam.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-four-tiers-t13-trap-no-name-and-joke.htmlhttp://www.law-school-hacker.com/top-ranked-law-schools.htmlFor detailed data as to the above info and why they are saying that, take some time to check outhttp://www.lawschooltransparency.comIn terms of employment prospects, you can ROUGHLY view the US News rankings as the followingT3 - Yale, Harvard, Stanford These schools offer you as close of a "guarantee" for a job post graduation as you can possibly get. You will have the best chances to get most any job in almost any region and the strongest shot for big name Fed. Clerkships. This is NOT 100%, but as close to it as you can get.T6 - Columbia, UChicago, NYU As strong as T3 for employment minus the Fed. Clerkship boost. T14 - The rest of the T14 A significant notch below T6 employment stats with not that great Fed. Clerkship prospects (i.e. you will need to be at the top 10-20% of your class for a shot at a fed. clerkships). These schools also tend to lean their employment to broad regions (i.e. The Mid West, The South, the east coast, etc), however, if you have connections to another region (ie your undergrad's city or your hometown), you probably have a good shot at landing a job there. You prob. will have little to no issue finding work in a small to medium sized law firm no matter your class ranking (assuming you don't completely fail)."Honorable Mentions" - Vandy, UCLA, etc.A big notch below T14 but these schools have ok prospects for big law in the school's same city. Very good chances for small to medium sized law firms within the school's general region (state).T14 - 120ishFor the most part, basically everyone (all 100+ schools) here are in the same/similar boat as far as employment stats are concerned. Sure, if you are at the top of your class at a top 30 school, you will prob. have a stronger shot at better paying work in your immediate region, but that's about it. Your best chances here (in general) at landing jobs are in the school's immediate region (i.e. same state for the higher ranked schools to the same county/city for lower ranked schools). Very difficult - if not near impossible - for big law, and fat chance for fed. clerkship. Good to okay chances for small/medium sized law firms.Sub T120 - Some ranked and all unranked schoolsBeware. Unless you have family connections for a small law firm, you may face an uphill battle for jobs. Your best bet will be to open up your own practice. Get creative, network, and work your butt off. You should do the prior no matter what school you go to, but even more so here.That is an immense oversimplification and generalization of US Rankings. You shouldn't base a decision on the above. The above is just a simplified view of employment stats. Although employment stats have gotten much more transparent over the past few years, they are far from perfect. Just because you get into a T14 school, it doesn't mean you will get w/e job wherever you want it. Likewise, just because you go to an unranked school, it doesn't mean you will never get a job. The general take away is this... the lower in rank a school gets, the more region specific it becomes. Further, the lower in rank a school is, debt becomes more and more of an issue. i.e. Going into $120k of debt for Harvard and wanting to get a job in New York might be worth it. However, going into $120k of debt for the University of Puerto Rico and wanting a job in Chicago probably is not. So.. you should base your decision on attending a law school on 1) where you want to live afterwards, 2) the debt you will face, 3) your feelings about the particular law school, and 4) as a tie breaker, refer to ranking.

Deepin Linux Terminal Tutorial for Beginners
You are Welcome! The Tutorial Presents You a Step-by-Step Deepin Linux Terminal Tutorial for Beginners.
And with this Deepin Linux Command Line Tutorial for Beginners You Can Get Easily Initiated to Make the First Steps on the Linux Shell :)
Furthermore, this is Just a 'Quick and Dirty' Introduction to the Command Line Basics by Example for the Bash Shell.
Now I Recommend you to 'Take it Easy' and keep on experimenting because only 'Practice Makes the Master' ;)
Most noteworthy: it's fundamental you 'Get Your Hands Dirty' following along this guide and Execute the Commands as they are harmless for your System.
Especially Relevant is how we'll Get also some Fun in Discovering togheter some Magical Naming Powers of the Linux Command Line.
Finally, the Commands here included are valid for the Default Linux Bash Shell and also for the Bourne, C, TC and Korn Shells…
Open a Shell Terminal emulator window
Ctr+Alt+t on Desktop
(Press "Enter" to Execute Commands)
Now try to List the Directory's Contents
To List the Directory you are in execute:
ls .
The '.' is meaning This location.
* And see 'ls' as an Abbreviation of 'listing' *
The Output on a New Terminal window should be very similar to this:
Desktop/ Downloads/ Pictures/ tmp/ Documents/ Music/ Templates/ Videos/
Here the Entities with a Trailing Slash are Directories.
Again execute to List the Downloads Folder on your Home:
ls ~/Downloads
Or also:
ls $HOME/Downloads
Next to List the Main System's Root Directory:
(The Root of What? Of the System's Directory Tree.)
ls /
Furthermore, to List the usr Directory:
ls /usr
Finally, to List the Nested bin Directory into the usr one:
ls /usr/bin
Next practice the Change Directory directive
Change to the Root Directory:
cd /
* Again find out how 'cd' is an Abridgement of 'changing directory' *
Then Go to /usr/bin:
cd /usr/bin
Now to Navigate to the Parent Use the '..'!
So Back to the root with:
cd ../..
(It's like to say: 'One Step Back and then One Step Back' again)
Finally, to Return Home is simple as:
Hey Congratulations! You achieved the First Walk into the Linux Directory Tree :)
Most noteworthy: the Main Linux Shell Commands are simple Abbreviations of the Corresponding World.
Furthermore, about Linux Terminology, there are 3 different Entities Appelled as 'Root':
- The System's root: /
- The root Directory: /root
- The root User: the SuperAdmin than can Execute Any Command
Again experiment yours Creative powers
Making a test Directory like:
mkdir $HOME/livingroom
* See how 'mkdir' is an Abbreviation of 'making directory' *
How you should have already understood, $HOME and '~' are both synonymous of your's Home Folder.
And the Home Directory is where your's User Contents are Stored by Default.
Moreover, to enhance your Memorization and Fun I rightly Use some Metaphoric term. So here you can Immagine a directory like a Room into your Home :)
Try Making Multiple Directories at once with:
mkdir $HOME/bedroom $HOME/bathroom $HOME/garden
Finally, use the 'touch' Command to Make a New Empty File:
touch $HOME/livingroom/box
And how you could already have perceived I Make Use Here of the following Mnemonic Linking:
- Directory -> Spatial Entity
- File -> Thing
And so in the Previous Command to an 'Empty File' corresponds an 'Empty Thing' like a 'box' ;)
Experiment How to Copy Directories and Files
- To Copy a Single File:
* As in the other cases here 'cp' is the Abbreviation for 'copying' *
cp $HOME/livingroom/box $HOME/bedroom/
You see how in this Example we moved our 'box' from the 'livingroom' to the 'bedroom' :)
Now verify the correctness of the operation Listing your's bedroom contents:
ls $HOME/bedroom/
And the Output will exactly display as:
- Now for Instance to Copy a Single Directory inside to another do:
cp -r $HOME/livingroom $HOME/garden
List the 'garden' contents:
ls $HOME/garden
And you'll Find:
Now you have also a 'livingroom' copy into your 'garden' O:
Moreover to Copy-Duplicate-Rename a Directory:
First to be sure you are again into the $HOME area:
And then Make a newly duplicated room do:
cp -r ./livingroom ./room
Finally, to Copy-Displace-Rename at the same time:
cp -r $HOME/livingroom $HOME/bedroom/wardrobe
But this is Magically Crazy, we have trasformed our 'livingroom' into a 'wardrobe' inside to the 'bedroom' :))
Next Experiments the Dynamics of Files and Directories
And in this Moving dimension Files or Directories are taken as the Same.
* Again you find here the 'mv' Command as a Contraction of 'moving' *
So now for instance Make and Empty 'bottle':
touch ~/livingroom/bottle
And then we Displace it in another Room:
mv ~/livingroom/bottle ~/bedroom/
Then verify Listing the 'bedroom' contents:
ls ~/bedroom/
And what you Find? The:
Also if only an empty one, sorry :))
Again you can Move & Rename at the same time like:
mv ~/bedroom/bottle ~/bathroom/can
Here we have magically trasformed an empty 'bottle' inside the 'bedroom' in an empty 'can' inside to the 'bathroom'.
And as I said in the introduction the Command for Directories works the Same!
So now 'Like Alice in the Wonderland' we Move the Directory 'livingroom' we set into the 'garden' in a 'teapot' in the bedroom!
mv ~/garden/livingroom ~/bedroom/teapot
Patiently Verify it with:
ls ~/bedroom/teapot
Finding What? An:
Empty Space!
Finally, we try investigating our Magical Destroying Powers
Deleting Directories and Files!
Especially Releant: in Normal Activity you should Triple Check the Commands Before Execution…
As in Shell there's Not a Trash Bin and so the stuff is directly Annihilated!!!
* As in all other cases also 'removing' is here Abreviated by 'rm' *
How Removing Files
First we Wipe Out the 'box' in the 'livingroom' with:
rm $HOME/livingroom/box
Check it with:
ls $HOME/livingroom/
Now we try the same for Multiple Entities…
First we Make a Copy of the 'can' into then 'bathroom' in a 'jar' into the 'bedroom', always Magics Here ;) with:
cp $HOME/bathroom/can $HOME/bedroom/jar
And then how to Liquidate Both? Simply like that:
rm $HOME/bathroom/can $HOME/bedroom/jar
How Removing Directories
Now we Start to Hollow our beautiful Home… ((:
First we Raze the 'livingroom':
rm -rf $HOME/livingroom
And finally we Desert All the Remaining Spaces:
rm -rf ~/bathroom ~/bedroom ~/garden
Sorry, we Transformed our Home into a Blank Space, but What a Fun! :))
Last How to Get the Admin Super-Powers
(First of all, the root User is the Default one in Kali, so the following instructions are intended for a Normal User)
So to Check What User you are on:
Then to Login as SuperUser:
su -
If Got "User is Not in Sudoers file" then Look: Solution
Then to Logout:
(To Protect Your System from the possible Damages of an Hazardous 'Crazy' Command Execution the Logout 'Should' be Executed Every Time a Conscious and Meaningful Series of Commands has been Achieved… )
Finally, to Execute a Single Command as SuperUser:
su -c 'myCommand'
sudo myCommand
How to Change Permissions on Deepin Linux File System:
Congratulations You are now fully Initiated to the awesome Linux Deepin Linux Command Line Shell. ;)
