24x7Alerts.com was initially created as a service for our own internal websites, mail servers,etc. to make sure they always stayed up and running. We have found this to be a valuable service and we are now wanting to extend it to others for free. So, we have decided to expose the service as 24x7Alerts.com. Our goal is to offer this service to the public for free and monitor any website, mail server, ftp server or any service for the user. When their server or website goes down, we let them know about it.
The target audience can be mixed between professional technical people and the average user who has a website. We plan to attract both audiences through a variety of marketing channels including iPhone & Driod applications.
I don't really have any specific requirements other than a nice professional logo. Feel free to be creative. I would like something a little more impressive than simple type fonts. Anything that is abstract in nature but is cool can also be a plus.
I am not 100% set on the color scheme of the attached draft of the website. So feel free to use other colors if necessary.
The logo should somehow work in the name of the website (maybe) but still convey the message that we are here 24 hours a day, 7 days per week watching over them.
I would like the logo file to be a psd file with all the appropriate layers in case I need to tweak anything later.
Current logo size in draft is 300px X 60px

Robots were put here on Earth to do our dirty work — tasks like repeatedly lifting unusually heavy objects, welding car parts together, crushing garbage and testing web applications.
Meet Fake, an automated browser for Mac OS X created by Todd Ditchendorf, the developer who previously brought you Fluid and Cruz.
From the product page:
Inspired by Apple's Automator application, Fake looks like a combination of Safari and Automator and allows you to run (and re-run) "fake" interactions with the web.
Power Users will love Fake for automating tedious web tasks like filling out lengthy forms and capturing screenshots. Developers can use Fake for graphically configuring automated tests for their web apps, including assertions.
Like Ditchendorf's other projects, Fake is based on WebKit and his own ParseKit. It uses AppleScript for the web automations. For now, it's available as a time-limited demo that expires at the end of July.

Edamame and Radish Risotto From 'Vibrant Food'
Kimberley Hasselbrink's new cookbook, Vibrant Food, is built around her reverence for seasonality. It's organized by time of year and type of produce, conscientiously arranged by timing of harvest. The opening chapter, Spring, for instance, is broken down to Spring Greens, Alliums, Spring Roots, Rhubarb, and Flowers. Many of the primary ingredients in this chapter, particularly, are nearly impossible to find out of season, like fresh chickpeas, fava beans, nettles, and ramps. Luckily, I'm a sucker for the bright intensity of the humble and accessible radish, which makes a hot pink appearance in the Spring Roots section. After a stint in a hot pan with butter, their peppery bite is slightly mellowed, but the remaining juicy crunch, vivid color, and distinctive pungency offsets the simple, creamy risotto.
Hasselbrink uses edamame as a riff on the classic choice for risotto: fresh peas. I have to admit, I don't entirely get her decision; as attuned to seasonal eating as she is, why trade in-season spring peas for late summer's soybeans? It's easy enough to find fine frozen options, but I would actually prefer the sweet burst of peas over the firmer bite of the edamame, anyway.
Why I picked this recipe: 1) It is one of the few Spring option with ingredients available in the already sweltering Southern summer. 2) I heart radishes.
What worked: I love how the juicy, spicy radishes perk up the risotto—they really do make it feel Spring-y—and they are quite beautiful, to Hasselbrink's point. The risotto itself is a very tasty, basic recipe, and the proportions of the add-ins (the thyme, the cheese and the edamame) are spot-on.
What didn't: Some of my radishes were large, and only cutting them in half made for uneven and lengthy cooking; plus, they were unwieldy to eat with the risotto. I would suggest cutting them into at least quarters, depending on the size. Also, I wanted a bit more salt in the risotto than the prescribed amount. And a small thing—I didn't appreciate having to open a new quart of broth for the 4 1/2 cup total. I would rather that 1/2 cup be simply water or, better, wine.
Suggested tweaks: If it's spring, and you can find fresh peas, I say go for it.

- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 1 hour 30 minutes
- Total time:1 hour 30 minutes
- Rated:
- 4 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1 1/4 cups shelled edamame
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch radishes (about 15), halved lengthwise
Heat the broth in a small pot over the lowest heat setting. Keep warm, but do not allow it to simmer.
In a large skillet or stockpot over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute more, stirring frequently to keep garlic from burning. Add the rice and sauté until toasted, 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add 1/2 cup of the broth and stir regularly. When the rice has absorbed most of the broth, add another 1/2 cup. Continue adding broth until most of it has been absorbed. When the rice is done, it will be creamy but firm. Add the edamame and stir for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat. Stir in the Parmesan, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper to taste.
Warm a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter is melted, add the radish halves, white sides down, and sauté until the radishes have softened but retain their color, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss gently.
Divide the risotto among four bowls and top with the radishes. Serve warm.

Something more...How was the show? Great. Best track? Most memorable moments? May be "Where the street..." with the latin american flags falling to the stage, or "Miss Sarajevo" with Bono as an opera singer, or the special lyrics for Argentina in "Beatiful day", or the real comparision between Argentina and Ireland before "One". Incredible...
01 August, 2010
Unforgettable.. in 3DI'll never forget that show. After waiting for years. I born in 1968 and I'm a fan of U2 since the early '80s, but I could see a U2's show in South America in 1998, during the Pop Mart Tour (for me, the first time in Sao Paulo, and 2 times in Buenos Aires, my city). Pop Mart was amazing. But the Vertigo Tour's show was special, magical, unforgettable. Then, realizing that the band took a large part of these shows in Buenos Aires for U23D, was a wonderful gift for fans in Argentina. Thank you very much for that!. And I hope you return to Argentina in all the tours!

Vegas rundown
With tournaments going on across the country on the last weekend of the evaluation period, Rivals.com laid eyes on some top prospects at Hal Pastner's Las Vegas Spring Showcase.
Final: California Hoops 59, Utah Pump N Run 52
Roberto Nelson, a 2009 shooting guard prospect, led the way with 24 points for California Hoops. Nine of those points were the result of second half 3-pointers. Intriguing 2009 post player Tim Williams added 13 points for the winners.
Gritty point guard Holton Hunsaker kept Utah Pump N Run in the game with 16 second-half points.
Semifinals: California Hoops 74, Houston Hoops 65
Nelson was also the high scorer for the California Hoops in the semifinals, scoring 22 points. Wing prospect Chris Jones added 18 points for the winners.
Keith Gallon, 2009 big man, had a strong showing Sunday. he paced the Houston Hoops with 22 points. Talented 2009 point guard Elijah Johnson scored 19 points.
Semifinals: Utah Pump N Run 54, Lamar Odom I Can All Stars 53
Physical 2007 wing prospect Charles Abouo lead the way for Utah Pump N Run with 20 points.
Prospect notes
Ed Davis poured in 28 points on an array of post moves in an early game Sunday. Davis not only scored with his left-handed jump hook, but he also turned to his left shoulder for turnaround jumpers and scored a couple times on spin moves.
As impressive as he was as a scorer, he was equally impressive as a passer. He did a great job finding teammates cutting to the basket and spotting up on the other side of the court while in the process of making his scoring moves.
Davis had the attention of coaches Roy Williams and Dave Leitao, while assistants from Duke and UConn were also in the gym.
Make no mistake about it, Ty Walker is a player. He could be one of the best in this class before his career is finished. At least 6 feet 11 and athletic, Walker is an imposing defensive threat around the basket. He is similar to Tony Woods in this regard, but Walker has the edge on Woods because he is a much more polished and composed offensive player. Walker does a nice job feeding the ball to Davis out of the high post, and he is a threat to hit the face-up jumper. Walker opened our eyes when he cut along the baseline and in one motion caught the ball, squared to the basket and let it fly without any hesitation. Gaining strength and developing a go-to move in the low post are the next steps in Walker's development.
In addition to the five-star big men, Boo Williams has a special 2010 prospect running the point. Kendall Marshall has poise and court savvy well beyond his years. The best thing he does is thread the needle with passes from the backcourt.
Senior point guard Hank Thorns of Las Vegas is being grossly under-recruited. The 5-foot-9 speedster played like a high-major prospect against Boo Williams. He nearly led his Las Vegas Dog Catchers to an upset win. Thorns scored 30 points on whirling drives to the basket and deep 3-pointers. He was the unquestioned leader on his team. His on-the-ball defense was also impressive.
Having fully qualified, Thorns said he recently fielded a call from Kentucky but only has an offer from New Hampshire. UNLV wants him to prep, and Brewster and Findlay are possible destinations if the right offer doesn't arrive.
Elijah Johnson was the best 2009 point guard we saw over the weekend. Well-built and explosive, Johnson has a load of talent as a slasher and playmaker. He is a sure fire five-star if he improves his jumper, and that is exactly pn what he is focused.
"I'm really working on my jump shot," Johnson told Rivals.com. "I'm enjoying playing shooting guard for the Hoops because I want to get better playing off the ball. I already know what I can do at the point, and when it is crunch time, I'll have the ball in my hands."
Still open with his recruitment, Johnson claims offers from Iowa State and UCLA. He noted that Kansas and Texas are also vigorously pursuing him.
Look for a swift rise in the ranking for Terrence Jennings. The well-traveled Amare Stoudemire look-alike also has a game similar to Stoudemire's. Jennings is not the physical specimen that the Phoenix Suns forward is, but Jennings is swift up and down the court. He also has a reliable jump hook, plays well above the rim at 6-foot-10 and even showed some 3-point range on his jumper.
Although the gym was fairly - empty other than a California assistant - Jennings said Arizona, California, Oklahoma, Maryland, UCLA and Washington have offered.
Expect the recruitment of Keith Gallon to soon match the size of his body. At somewhere around 6-foot-8, 275-pounds, "Tiny" is nimble footed, has enormous hands and has a soft touch around the basket.
Jeremy Green had his shooting stroke going on Sunday for the Houston Hoops. He nailed threes in transition and while coming off screens. Green also worked his way into the lane for scores.
Green noted that Stanford is his leader, but he is still open in his recruitment. Trent Johnson was front and center for all of his games. Green is also listing Virginia, Baylor, Arizona State, Kentucky and Washington State. All have offered except for Kentucky.
Combo guard Malcolm Lee had a strong performance on Saturday. The UCLA commitment worked his way into the mid-range for buckets and showed an advanced feel for the game with his passing.
Roberto Nelson and Tim Williams stood out for the California Hoops squad. Already well-built as a 2009 shooting guard, Nelson can handle the ball and score in a variety of ways. Williams, a developing 2008 power forward, is a prospect to watch. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him in the Pac-10 one day.
Former 2007 USC signee Leonard Washington was in action with Belmont Shores over the weekend. The powerful forward said he is headed to Stoneridge Prep and is opening up his recruitment.

All the Naiant threads in the retail section have been purged, so I can't prove that I came up with the name, but I did. The initial price on the PIPsqueaks was higher than Jon's estimate, so I never picked one up.
Interested if the higher capacity battery fits, so looking forward to what you find out. Do they come with the correct connectors already attached?
Thanks for all your advice here, helps a lot! I think the battery in my PIPsqueak is dead as well. Can you please post a link to the battery you bough? I can't find it on the Componentshop site.Thanks!
Oh, how long do you recommend the cable to be?

Any VC's reading this…yes we are interested. ;)
If you like saving money…you are my audience.
We want the graphic logo to establish a solid identity, and we're not afraid of potential being edgy.
The goal is to have the logo represent what we do. Be simple, modern and memorable, but not too flashy.
Simple, eye-catching, attractive, effective. Web2.0 style I am thinking.
Color palette: Would like to stick to primary or basic colors. I like the typical financial websites color—green and blue. But I am open to other ideas.
Since this is an international website, please do not use dollar sign.

Hey everyone - I got 9 bonus hours left to spend on some project or other, so I wanted to ask for a few suggestions that you might like to add to the upcoming poll for that. Please keep things to expansions of existing creatures/npcs/events, as I'd prefer to give deeper content to those.
Here's a few high-voting ones left over from the last poll:
- Sexy christmas elves to go with the mall santa
- Non-sexual interactions between the library/bunker npcs (letting them talk and get to know each other, maybe set up something helpful for the player, ...)
- Filling the deep, dark tunnels under the Trevor Labs with more sexy but horrific events and scenes
- Sinful pleasures with Lilith's incubus son Atticus
- Make Jill the centaur into an npc (at least making a step towards it by giving her a short quest)
I'm curious what you'll suggest - when we have a nice number, there'll be another poll with the mixed old and new choices - to pick one or two that will then be written.

Singapore short breaks
V Page, Holmfirth asks
We are off on a tour of New Zealand in February, stopping en route at Singapore for three nights at the Swiss Merchant Court Hotel. We would welcome advice on how to make best use of our time there. Are there "hop-on, hop-off" bus tours, for example? Should we put the Botanical Gardens on the list?
Evelyn Chen, Singapore expert, replies
I suggest the following...
Day one: as the Merchant Court Hotel is near Chinatown, you should take time to browse in the shops. The Maxwell Road Food Market is a perfect lunch stop for one of Singapore's best chicken-rice stalls (Tian Tian). The Chinatown area also houses some fabulous restaurants – if you want to eat well, try the restaurants at Ann Siang Road and Bukit Pasoh.
Day two: start at 7am or 8am at the Singapore Botanic Gardens and watch the locals at their daily exercise routine before breakfast at Casa Verde. Then head to Orchard Road (just a few bus stops away) for Singapore's favourite activity – shopping. Start at ION, proceed to Ngee Ann City and finish at Paragon. These shopping malls also house myriad restaurants, and you'll never go wrong at Crystal Jade or Din Tai Fung – two chains that offer noodles, dim sum and snacks. The Peranakan Museum is also close by.
Day three: visit Sentosa – for the casino at Resorts World or the Marine Life Park, one of the biggest oceanariums in the world. When you tire of the buzz, retire to The Knolls at Capella for a cup of tea or make a date for dim sum at Cassia. For more details on all these suggestions, see my online guide telegraph.co.uk/singapore. There are two companies that run hop-on, hop-off buses: citytours.sg and ducktours.com.sg.

At the same time, I began to wonder how accurate my searches would be, even using the techniques set out by Ancestry.com, compared to a search managed by the automatic search capabilities of either Ancestry.com or MyHeritage.com. I also realized I had a way to make the comparison. I have compiled a list of sources for my Great-grandfather Henry Martin Tanner from all sorts of searches and have them on FamilySearch.org Family Tree. I won't reproduce the list, but all of the sources can be located online using one or another of the online database programs or through Google searches online.
I presently have 40 individual unique sources for Henry Martin Tanner (b. 1852, d. 1935). I will call that number the Tanner Base Number of Sources or TBNS for any comparison. It only seems fair to compare what particular search engine finds in terms of a standard search based on a number that likely exceeds what any one database might find. I might mention here that there are likely many more records available for Henry Martin Tanner and I can only guess what the total TBNS would eventually look like. OK, so we get this straight. We first search using the manual search capabilities of the different programs to see how they rank in terms of finding sources. For the purpose of this exercise, I am excluding a basic Google search, because the numbers come back so huge as to be meaningless. Google also includes every single mention of the name, such as in this blog post, even if it is not particularly related to genealogically significant data.
It occurs to me that this comparison will also vary dramatically simply be the number of records from Arizona possessed by the database provider. In other words, the particular provider may have really good New England records and be totally out of sources relating to the time and place when and where my ancestor lived. In the past, I have used a similar technique to compare online search engines. The correlation is rough and may vary considerably by geographic area and by the sophistication of the user.
Now to the meat and potatoes of the comparison. Remember there are, at least, 40 distinct records available for Henry Martin Tanner. Also remember that I am going to use a minimalist approach to searching; only adding three or so fields. For this first test, I am not going to use the helpful automated or semi-automated search functions of each program. Two more conditions, I will not vary the search terms between the various online programs and I will stop looking for more accurate hits after the list starts including people from all over. I am doing the searches with only a minimum of search terms. In each case the terms are:
- Henry Martin Tanner
- Arizona
- Male
Let's start with FamilySearch.org and go on from there. Manual search from the following:
- FamilySearch.org -- 9 sources
- Ancestry.com -- 11 sources including certificates and photos
- Mocavo.com -- 700+ sources however filtered to remove websites, the total was 44
- MyHeritage.com -- used the search from the profile for Henry Martin Tanner and got 21 more relatives.
Now, I could have gotten more out of each of the online databases if I have varied the search terms and worked at getting information but the way I did it is more reasonable for my purpose with this post.
OK, here's what happened. I got to MyHeritage.com and the whole idea of searching for one individual at a time and hoping to find sources went out the window. The number of sources and leads to other individual's sources was almost overwhelming. From another standpoint, failing to use Mocavo.com now that this site has been adding so many records is ignoring a really valuable source.
I would have to say that the results of this text were mainly a demonstration of how different each of these databases really are. They are all valuable tools. I would really have a difficult time ranking them or giving up any one of them. You might notice that Mocavo.com is a new addition to my usual list, but it is certainly worth the effort. I have been talking about MyHeritage.com for some time and I am even more impressed with the latest refinements and additions to the search process. I now have 6501 Record Matches sitting there for me to review.
The conclusion of this however is easy to make. MyHeritage.com wins by a rather large margin as long as you let the program do the searching because of the huge number of extractions it did almost automatically for 21 other related people. That is also the case with Ancestry.com. Let the program find the records. By letting Ancestry.com do its searching for green leaves, I have 12 source entries for Henry Martin Tanner excluding photos and stories, with both photos and stories I have 17 sources.
The surprise entry is Mocavo.com. It has moved well into the range of the larger programs now and can no longer be ignored. When people ask if you should be using all four of these online programs, I would have to say, yes, if you are really serious about doing your genealogy, you need your family tree on all four of these programs.
Now, there is a qualification. Presently, these programs are heavily weighted in the United States. I expect that to change over time, but right now, if you have English or UK ancestors or Irish ancestors, I suggest looking at findmypast.com. I am still surprised at the number of people doing English research that are not familiar with that huge database.
Last a reminder. Remember that I did not work the programs for this post. I can find things in all of the programs that the automatic searches do not find. This is particularly true with FamilySearch.org because so many of the records are waiting to be indexed.

The Air Force's shadowy mini-Space Shuttle, the X-37B, spent over a year traveling around our planet. What was it down? We don't know—it's a secret. But now that it's finally landed, it's time for some questions.
Despite more or less copying the design of of the Space Shuttle, the X-37 is completely robotic, guiding itself through the vacuum without human piloting and using barely any fuel in the process. It has room for a cargo payload—cited as space for "experiemnts"—but this is the Air Force, not NASA. If the Pentagon wants a robot that can fly through space for 469 days in a row carrying a payload, it's not going to be doing zero-gravity experiments on any colonies and corn cobs—and don't forget, Russia is building its own. Speculation around the roboshuttle's true mission ranges from space-based nuke launches to foreign satellite destruction.
As it stands now, the X-37B isn't itself going to be seeing any action—but it could certainly be boosting the way for a next generation of space weapons (and the next one takes off this fall). We can be sure there won't be pretty landing footage of the real weapon the X-37B births. [Danger Room]

Point taken re getting applications to build without delegating to maven. I will take a look at converting the fooapp xatmi c example to illustrate building using raw gcc.

Hi Juergen,
Here is what steps we have taken:
1. As this is not a step that should be required for end users (unless the distribution is not available on their platform) we have kept the main distribution build of BlackTie as maven.
2. The user tools do not use Maven to create C XATMI servers and clients. Furthermore, we have bundled a fully configured version of ant in our distributions and wrapped it with generate_server.<sh|bat> and generate_client.<sh|bat> files in the bin folder. These can be called directly from make and do not require the user to install anything other than Java to use them. You can see this on our Wiki article:
Hopefully this is OK for you?

An article in the NYT describes the growing concern over economic conditions, and all of the candidates' immediate desire to assign blame on you-know-who and to proclaim how they'd do better. It's obviously an irresistible way, I suppose, to score points. Much as I think the Bush administration has acted childishly and incompetently in almost every area, however, I find it awfully hard to give them any responsibility for the property market, or the irresponsible lending practices that pumped the bubble for so long. That's happened before and it will happen again. (They can be attacked much more reasonably on their policies that have led to exploding inequality.)
But I'm still not convinced that anyone can really predict and manage an economy on the basis of anything more scientific than the reading of tea leaves. As far as I can tell, economics, especially the "macroeconomics" of entire economies, is still very far from being a real science. (I wonder if any readers out there -- perhaps, some economist -- can point me to any data showing that economists can predict the movements of economies with anything like the accuracy one routinely finds in the rest of science? I'd be very interested to see such evidence.) This post from the Leiter Reports, although three years old, gives an interesting (legal philosopher's) perspective on economics as a science, and it's one I find myself largely agreeing with. Economics has been so committed to rational behavior, to proving mathematical theorems (which makes it look scientific), and even worse, perhaps, to the notion that all systems can be understood by supposing they are in some equilibrium, that it's tied one or both arms behind its back in its efforts really to understand economic phenomena.
Remarkably, these theoretical addictions still persist. An economist told me that it's still very hard to publish in some of the "best" economics journals if one does not assume that economic agents are fully rational. This is a problem in the sociology of the economics discipline. But it's changing, of course, as it would have to if economics is going to grow into something more intellectually sound. One promising development, for example, is a great body of work in computational economics, in which researchers aim to make plausible assumptions about human behavior -- based hopefully on empirical evidence -- and then use computational models to explore outcomes in large systems of interacting agents.
For now, we're still largely stuck with metaphors, and mixed ones at that. Take this gem from the NYT article on how the Fed manages the money supply:
Typically, the Fed raises interest rates to ward off inflation when the economy is growing fast and in danger of overheating, and lowers rates when the economy is slackening.
Apparently, the economy is sometimes an automobile at risk of overheating, and at other times, a sailing vessel stranded as its sails slacken in weak winds. Take two metaphors and call me in the morning. But can macroeconomics go much beyond such metaphors? I'd like to be convinced, but I'm not yet.

Let's face it folks, we, in New England, are known for being kinda stuffy, right? Isn't that why we've welcomed Henri Smith to Gloucester? Isn't that why we do our level best to keep him here year after year? Yes, he's a fine musician. Yes, most of his friends are all top talent too. Yes, he infuses Gloucester will all kinds of culture we've never before experienced. But let's be honest. He's fun! And so are his super-talented friends. Just look at this video:
Don't these guys just look like they're having the time of their lives? We need more of that — and we're going to get it on June 3o when Henri gathers the most talented, fun-loving New Orleans musicians you can see north of the bayou at North Shore Music Theatre to open for the iconic for Aaron Neville (get tickets here). Henri's band will include:
Stanton Davis on Trumpet
Amadee Castenell (from HBO's Treme) on Sax, Flute and Vocals
Herman Hampton (Berklee professor) on Bass
Daniel Heath on Trombone and vocals
Les Lumley (from Ghetto Mysticism) on percussion.
Charles Burchell (from New England Conservatory) on Drums
Ben on Piano (you know him)
Now for some fun tonight (see full music lineup here) we have to mention one of Gloucester's most talented and fun musicians with an acerbic wit, Inge Berge, will be at the Dog Bar with his trio. See what we mean by wit and fun in the video below:

Juel Henrichsen, Peter (, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Modern hearing aids use a variety of advanced digital signal processing methods in order to improve speech intelligibility. These methods are based on knowledge about the acoustics outside the ear as well as psychoacoustics. We present a novel observation based on the fact that acoustic prominence is not equal to information prominence for time intervals at the syllabic and sub-syllabic levels. The idea is that speech elements with a high degree of information can be robustly identified based on basic acoustic properties. We evaluated the correlation of (information rich) content words in the DanPASS corpus with fundamental frequency (F0) and spectral tilt across four frequency bands. Our results show a correlation of certain band-level differences and the presence of content words. Similarly, but to a lesser extent, a correlation between F0 and the presence of content words was found. The principle described here has the potential to improve the "information-to-noise" ratio in hearing aids. In addition, this concept may also be applicable in automatic speech recognition systems.

Data-driven prosodic feature assignment for diphone synthesisJuel Henrichsen, Peter (Frederiksberg, 2)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Today's synthetic voices are largely based on diphone synthesis (DiSyn) and unit selection synthesis (UnitSyn). In most DiSyn systems, prosodic envelopes are generated with formal models while UnitSyn systems refer to extensive, highly indexed sound databases. Each approach has its drawbacks; such as low naturalness (DiSyn) and dependence on huge amounts of background data (UnitSyn). We present a hybrid model based on high-level speech data. As preliminary tests show, prosodic models combining DiSyn style at the phone level with UnitSyn style at the supra-segmental levels may approach UnitSyn quality on a DiSyn footprint. Our test data are Danish, but our algorithm is language neutral. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8595

Christiansen, Thomas U.; Juel Henrichsen, Peter (Aalborg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Nonsense syllable speech materials are often used when investigating speech perception in quiet and under adverse conditions. The main advantage of using nonsense syllables over words and sentences is that the acoustic as well as the linguistic context is minimal. This paper presents three anechoic recordings of 13 male and 13 female native talkers of Danish each speaking 65 nonsense syllables repeated three times with the neutral intonation contour for Danish (in total 15210 syllables). The authors compared and ranked groups of three recordings. These three recording had the same talker and had identical phonetic content. The syllables were ranked according to the general "appropriateness" and consistency, i.e., prototypical production of the consonant-vowel (CV) with respect to applicability in speech perceptual studies. The results were compared to results of an automatic method based on acoustic measures. The two novel ideas are 1) to devise an automated method for evaluating "appropriateness" of CVs and 2) to develop a Danish CV-material annotated with an objective measure of "appropriateness" for each recorded CV. The latter would potentially render more CV's appropriate for perceptual studies. Moreover, objective evaluation would make it possible to examine any perceptual effects of variability in CV production (for example how susceptible different renderings by the same talker of CV's are to background noise). To the knowledge of the authors, no such material has yet been published for any language. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8412

A dual-layer Danish speech corpus for perception studiesChristiansen, Thomas Ulrich; Juel Henrichsen, Peter (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper, we present the newly established Danish speech corpus PiTu. The corpus consists of recordings of 28 native Danish talkers (14 female and 14 male) each reproducing (i) a series of nonsense syllables, and (ii) a set of authentic natural language sentences. The speech corpus is tailored for investigating the relationship between early stages of the speech perceptual process and later stages. We present our considerations involved in preparing the experimental set-up, producing the anechoic recordings, compiling the data, and exploring the materials in linguistic research. We report on a small pilot experiment demonstrating how PiTu and similar speech corpora can be used in studies of prosody as a function of semantic content. The experiment addresses the issue of whether the governing principles of Danish prosody assignment is mainly talker-specific or mainly content-typical (under the specific experimental conditions). The corpus is available at http://amtoolbox.sourceforge.net/pitu/. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8619

A Multi-lingual Speech Corpus for Cognitive ResearchJuel Henrichsen, Peter; Uneson, Marcus (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We present the speech corpus SMALLWorlds (Spoken Multi-lingual Accounts of Logically Limited Worlds), newly established and still growing. SMALLWorlds contains monologic descriptions of scenes or worlds which are simple enough to be formally describable. The descriptions are instances of content-controlled monologue: semantically "pre-specified" but still bearing most hallmarks of spontaneous speech (hesitations and filled pauses, relaxed syntax, repetitions, self-corrections, incomplete constituents, irrelevant or redundant information, etc.) as well as idiosyncratic speaker traits. In the paper, we discuss the pros and cons of data so elicited. Following that, we present a typical SMALLWorlds task: the description of a simple drawing with differently coloured circles, squares, and triangles, with no hints given as to which description strategy or language style to use. We conclude with an example on how SMALLWorlds may be used: unsupervised lexical learning from phonetic transcription. At the time of writing, SMALLWorlds consists of more than 250 recordings in a wide range of typologically diverse languages from many parts of the world, some unwritten and endangered.

Christiansen, Thomas Ulrich; Juel Henrichsen, Peter (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Digital hearing aids use a variety of advanced digital signal processing methods in order to improve speech intelligibility. These methods are based on knowledge about the acoustics outside the ear as well as psychoacoustics. This paper investigates the recent observation that speech elements with a high degree of information can be robustly identified based on basic acoustic properties, i.e., function words have greater spectral tilt than content words for each of the 18 Danish talkers investigated. In this paper we examine these spectral tilt differences as a function of time based on a speech material six times the duration of previous investigations. Our results show that the correlation of spectral tilt with information content is relatively constant across time, even if averaged across talkers. This indicates that it is possible to devise a robust method for estimating information density in the speech signal based on computationally simple short-term band-level differences. The principle described here has the potential to improve speech transduction in hearing aids and cochlear implants. In addition, the concept of information-based speech transduction may also be applicable in automatic speech recognition systems. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8617

Far over the misty mountains cold
This article or section is a stub. Please help Tolkien Gateway by expanding it.
Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold is a poem found within the chapter "An Unexpected Party" of The Hobbit.
[edit] Text
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sword.
On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun.
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.
Goblets they carved there for themselves
And harps of gold; where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves.
The pines were roaring on the height,
The winds were moaning in the night.
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light.
The bells were ringing in the dale
And men looked up with faces pale;
The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire
Laid low their towers and houses frail.
The mountains smoked beneath the moon;
The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom.
They fled their hall, to dying fall
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.
Far over the misty mountains grim
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
We must away, ere break of day,
To win our harps and gold from him!
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations
2012: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey:
- A modified version of the song is sung by Richard Armitage and the dwarves during the Unexpected Party at Bag End. Neil Finn also sings a variation of the song entitled "Song of the Lonely Mountain" in the ending credits of the film.

I have problems with Aiff files originating from Ableton Live 8, that are not recognized by Tag 0.4.1. Tag says "unrecognized format". I tried changing the file extensions to ".aiff" but this does not make a difference.
Any advice for investigating this further?

Sustainable Design
From local, Forest Stewardship Council certified wood in Bicentennial Hall to the green roof at Atwater Dinning Hall, Middlebury exemplifies sustainable design. The next time you walk across campus or into your favorite building, take a closer look because energy efficient designs, innovative use and reuse of materials, and sustainably harvested wood can be found all over campus. We've recycled whole buildings, installed lights that dim as the sunlight brightens, and in 2008 the Franklin Environmental Center at Hillcrest became the first LEED Platinum building in Vermont!

Over the years I have edited many subject lines to more clearly identify the purpose of the messages (Right click message > Edit Stored Message > Edit/Add Subject Text). This week I've been migrating from PM to The Bat!, and I've discovered that the edits don't migrate - they all revert to the original text, which is disappointing.
Does anyone know if there's a workaround for this?

Our Undergraduate Programs
A note about degree requirements
Students must fulfill the University's General Education Requirements in addition to the requirements for their major. To find the requirements for each major, follow the link below for the major of your interest.
Aerospace Systems Engineering
Outside of the U.S. Air Force Academy, The University of Akron is the only institution in the U.S. that offers a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Systems Engineering. This unique program applies the principles of systems engineering to the aerospace industry, which is integral to Ohio and the region.
Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering is a rapidly growing field. New companies are being developed each month. The job outlook is excellent. A graduate will also be prepared to enter graduate study in engineering, law, or medical school. There are three tracks in Biomedical Engineering:
Biomechanics Track
The Biomechanics track is designed for those students who would pursue a Mechanical Engineering background with specialization in the areas of cardiovascular, orthopedic, rehabilitation engineering and system simulations.
Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Track
For students who would pursue a Mechanical Engineering background with specialization in the areas of cardiovascular, orthopedic, rehabilitation engineering and system simulations.
Instrumentation, Signals and Imaging Track
For students who wish to pursue an Electrical Engineering background with specialization in biomedical instrumentation, signal and image processing, imaging devices, detectors and system simulations.
Chemical Engineering and Biomolecular Engineering
Chemical engineers enjoy every kind of employment. Most are concerned with complex industrial systems and are in demand by all segments of our society. Pharmaceuticals, polymers, petrochemicals, paints, paper, nuclear power, packaging, soap, textiles, tires, and beer are just a few of the materials which chemical engineers create, improve, produce, and sell.
Civil Engineering
Civil engineers find a wide range of employment opportunities. Civil engineers are employed by federal, state, county, and city governments. Others work for engineering consultants as designers, construction companies, transportation agencies and companies, oil and other energy companies, and for industrial companies as designers and managers of facilities.
Computer Engineering
Computer engineering applies computer technology along with traditional engineering science to address systems in which computing is an essential function. Such systems include the smart device or instrument, the flexible manufacturing system, and communication systems that characterize the information age. Computer engineering covers a demanding range of science and technology, combining software with hardware, and the discrete with the continuous.
Corrosion Engineering
The University of Akron offers the nation's only B.S. degree in Corrosion Engineering, a field that merges many fields together (including chemistry, engineering and material science) to form an interdisciplinary degree that is already in high demand. Students in corrosion engineering play an integral part in the research and implemetnation of innovation that reduces the life-cycle cost of essential infrastructure, among other applications.
Electrical Engineering
The wide-ranging uses of electrical means for measurement, control, and computation has resulted in the need for electrical engineers in all types of industries. A student seeking employment upon graduation will find many varied opportunities.
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with the production, transmission, and storage of energy and motion and the design and analysis of physical systems to carry out these objectives. The curriculum is based on a firm grounding in mathematics and physical sciences with further study in the engineering sciences and design including solid mechanics, thermal sciences, control systems, fluid flow, energy system design and mechanical system design.

Cancer Overview
What is Cancer?
Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body's cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells.
Normally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
When cancer develops, however, this orderly process breaks down. As cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are not needed. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form growths called tumors.
Many cancers form solid tumors, which are masses of tissue. Cancers of the blood, such as leukemias, generally do not form solid tumors. Cancerous tumors are malignant, which means they can spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. Unlike malignant tumors, benign tumors do not spread into, or invade, nearby tissues. When removed, they usually don't grow back, whereas malignant tumors sometimes do.
How Cancer Arises
Cancer is a genetic disease—that is, it is caused by changes to genes that control the way our cells function, especially how they grow and divide. Genetic changes that cause cancer can be inherited from our parents. They can also arise during a person's lifetime as a result of errors that occur as cells divide or because of damage to DNA caused by certain environmental exposures.
Types of Cancer
There are more than 100 types of cancer. Types of cancer are usually named for the organs or tissues where the cancers form. For example, lung cancer starts in cells of the lung, and brain cancer starts in cells of the brain. Cancers also may be described by the type of cell that formed them, such as an epithelial cell or a squamous cell. Below are some categories of cancers that begin in specific types of cells:
Carcinomas are the most common type of cancer. They are formed by epithelial cells, which are the cells that cover the inside and outside surfaces of the body.
Sarcomas are cancers that form in bone and soft tissues, including muscle, fat, blood vessels,lymph vessels, and fibrous tissue (such as tendons and ligaments).
Leukemias are cancers that begin in the blood-forming tissue of the bone marrow. These cancers do not form solid tumors. Instead, large numbers of abnormal white blood cells (leukemia cells and leukemic blast cells) build up in the blood and bone marrow, crowding out normal blood cells. The low level of normal blood cells can make it harder for the body to get oxygen to its tissues, control bleeding, or fight infections.
Lymphoma is cancer that begins in lymphocytes (T cells or B cells). These are disease-fighting white blood cells that are part of the immune system. In lymphoma, abnormal lymphocytes build up in lymph nodes and lymph vessels, as well as in other organs of the body.
Multiple myeloma is cancer that begins in plasma cells, another type of immune cell. The abnormal plasma cells, called myeloma cells, build up in the bone marrow and form tumors in bones all through the body.
Melanoma is cancer that begins in cells that become melanocytes, which are specialized cells that make melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color). Most melanomas form on the skin, but melanomas can also form in other pigmented tissues, such as the eye.
There are different types of brain and spinal cord tumors. These tumors are named based on the type of cell in which they formed and where the tumor first formed in the central nervous system.

Why 'Veronica Mars' is Important to the Television Industry
Warner Bros. Entertainment
There are plenty of cult television series with underdog stories. After Firefly was cancelled, Joss Whedon wrangled the capital to create Serenity, a movie that tied up all the loose ends left by the show. Seven years after Arrested Development was given the boot by Fox, Netflix picked it back up and gave the show new life.
But the biggest comeback in television history has to be awarded to Veronica Mars, the little TV show that could. Last spring, Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas blew up the Internet when he set up a Kickstarter to raise money for a movie that would wrap up the series. It seemed everyone in the TV and film industry had a fit about how crowd sourcing could change the way Hollywood operates. (As it turns out, aside from a few other successes, nothing much has changed so far.)
Now, with less than two months left until Veronica Mars premieres in movie theaters around the country, The CW announced a spinoff web series to air on its CW Seed website. Ryan Hansen will star in the web show as his character Dick Casablancas and Thomas will be involved in the production. Now that the fans have revived Veronica Mars, it seems she won't die again — and we couldn't be happier.
As Veronica Mars, Firefly/Serenity, and Arrested Development have proved, cancelling a TV show is not necessarily the true death of a series — especially when fans make their voices heard. Television series can be resurrected into movies, Netflix series, or web series. Of these, web series are the most important because they don't require as much investment.
If the Veronica Mars web show is popular and successful, there's a possibility other cancelled TV shows could go this route. (Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.) Whether or not Veronica Mars will live on past the web series, it goes to show how much influence the fans' money — and voices — can have in Hollywood.

It was a unique coming together of western explorers, locals and traditional hunter-fishermen. Four members of the Under the Pole expedition team, five young Inuit from the Uummannaq Children's Home and two accompanying teachers were guided by Inuit hunter-fishermen on a 600 km dogsled adventure beyond Greenland's northern most territories.

They learned how to manage a dogsled pack, how to go fishing on the ice to catch a feed for the pack, how to create a warm tent with reindeer skins and even a Greenlandic card game or two. The team, in return, guided the Inuit on their first ever dives beneath the ice.

Poor weather and a lack of snow this winter, however, nearly scuttled this last stage of the expedition. Exposed surface ice is abrasive to the dogs' legs. Too little snow also means a lack of an easy water source. Fortunately conditions improved and the party set off north into the magical landscape between mountains and ocean.
They traveled by dogsled for eight days, sleeping in hunting cabins or in tents on the ice, learning about traditional Inuit ways.

Whenever possible, the team encouraged the hunters and young people to dive.
"I was really impressed by their ability to adapt to the situation," says Ghislain Bardout. "The way they moved under the sea ice despite the fact some of them can barely swim.
"After several dives, the most adventurous moved 10 m away from the hole and enjoyed observing the sea bed, fish and ice ceiling.
"Our objective was achieved; the young people became explorers of their own environment."

Americans can rest easier now that the fiscal cliff debacle is over. But some professionals have started to realize that there were some very real questions left on the fiscal cliff table as it relates to key "tax tricks."
While significant estate planning laws are settled, there remain more than a few important estate planning "tools" left hanging in the air. These tools likely will be low-hanging fruit in future discussions.
The American Taxpayer Relief Tax Act Of 2012 (ATRA) finally ended some 12 years of estate planning uncertainty (or so we can only hope). The certainty includes such matters as various tax rates and the exemptions amounts for the estate tax, gift tax, and generation-skipping tax. But ATRA didn't settle many technical questions raised in the past few years, both on and off the campaign trail.
So, what issues and devices should we watch? A recent Forbes article titled "Congress May Tighten The Belt On Cute Tax Tricks" lists some sore subjects and possible new areas of taxation. These include:
- Grantor Trusts: might just get added back into the Grantor's estate.
- Dynasty Trusts: might just limit the extent of your dynasty.
- GRATs: "Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts" (GRATs) might become much more demanding and risky.
- Family Limited Partnerships: might become much less valuable as your ability to take discounts is curtailed.
The original article is worth your time, especially if you are concerned that future technical rules may swoop in and sully some well-designed estate planning. However, for those conversant with this subject, they will recognize that this talk is nothing new and these estate planning devices have been repeatedly targeted in the past.
Be sure to consult qualified legal counsel if you have questions about how future changes in the law may impact your estate planning.

In the last post, we talked about two very important exercises that the team uses on a consistent basis in the gym to help with strength, power, and core stabilization.
This week we are going to introduce the TRX, another great tool for building strength and stability for our players. The TRX is a suspension training tool for body weight exercises that we use for upper and lower body strength, core stability, and mobility exercises. Developed by Navy Seals, it is an all-in-one piece of training equipment that is portable, easy to set up, and can be used just about anywhere.
When we are on the road and don't have access to our normal weight room and all the great equipment we have back in LA, the TRX becomes invaluable. It serves as a great way for our players to maintain their strength and get their workouts in when the team is traveling.
There are hundreds of different exercises that we can do with the TRX. We'll begin to dive into more specific exercises over the next few weeks, focusing on lower body and core exercises, but until then view a sample of some of the different exercises in the slideshow below:
In our next article we will look at a couple of the lower body exercises and talk specifically about how to perform those exercises and what muscles we are working but for now enjoy rooting through some of the pictures and look for where you can incorporate those exercises into your own workout programs.

The concert cinematography (24 cameras were used simultaneously) and sound were incredible -- the person in front of me was so caught up during the Metallica's performance of 'Creeping Death' I was expecting her to punch someone.
Still, it's hard to shake off the sense that this film is at times massively self-indulgent. Only musicians with large egos would even try to make a grandiose film like this and believe the public would want to see it. A science-fiction writer on LSD couldn't have dreamed up a concert stage this large and elaborate (not that it isn't amazing). Onstage, Metallica has more bombs, lasers and flamethrowing power than most armies. Going back and forth between the band performing and scenes of anarchy in the streets is a pretty obvious way of saying, 'Hey, remember us before we were rich and occasionally accused of being out of touch?' Lastly, I'm not sure any visual representation of a rock band should have so many close-ups of a drummer.
But one has to recognize the power of the music. And the intervals in which Trip runs around the downtown war zone are just surreal enough to someday push this into classic midnight movie territory. It will make fans remember why they love Metallica and may win a few new followers as well. Just don't take it too seriously, either as a story or an artistic expression. It's a damn fine concert movie and a musical thrill ride. Period.

His [Kenny Williams] revelation that virtually silent but sound coach Harold Baines will play a greater role on the next coaching staff is a step in the right direction.
Or the new hitting coach? I think both positions require more communication though than 1st base coach though.

Feedback is an essential part of the map making process. It allows the mapmaker to get different perspectives and find out what people like and don't like about their map. It also sheds light on any flaws in gameplay or graphics which the mapmaker did not see. For someone that wants to be involved but doesn't have the artistic knack, giving good feedback is a great way to become a vital part of the foundry. If you regularly give good feedback, you will become well liked by the mapmakers, Foundry Assistants and Moderators (members who are in charge of stamping maps). Not only that, but you will make a noticeable impact on the quality of the maps the foundry produces.
The best feedback comes from people who have put a little bit of thought into their post(s), and
- a. Adds something to the development of a map.
b. Identifies specific elements/issues which do or don't work in their eyes.
c. Offers some kind of alternative or solution to any problems/issues.
- The only way to get a map made that's exactly how you want it is to make it yourself. A mapmaker is making a map they want to make and while your ideas might be great, they might not fit the map that they are making. Keep this in mind if a mapmaker says "no" to an idea of yours.
- Remember to think from the mapmaker's perspective/goal. This means that giving feedback that starts with, "hey it'd be cool if..." is not always the best thing. They've often already decided the theme and direction of the map, the more stamps the more solid this direction. Really cool ideas are not what they are generally looking for help on. They want help on deciding the details to fit their goal.
- You need thick skin. Virtually all mapmakers, at some time or another, come off as harsh. Part of the foundry rules state that mapmakers have to answer every piece of feedback, either accepting the idea presented, or refuting it logically. This means either implementing the ideas or giving valid reasons as to why the idea is not a good one for the map. The most common reason they'll come off as harsh is when someone airs an idea that doesn't fit with the mapmaker's plan for the map at all. This often gets blown out of proportion, as the person giving feedback gets very offended and says that the foundry is exactly like they heard it was ("a bunch of insensitive jerks") and never comes back. Mapmakers tend to attack the idea like they're attacking the person, but they're not. Often, the very shooting down of an idea is seen as harsh no matter how it comes out. Just remember it's part of the process.
- What concerns does the mapmaker have? If he has a list of questions for his next version and you answer those questions, then the mapmaker is more likely to take interest in your other concerns beyond those answers. It makes sense. They asked some pointed questions and you answered them. You have some concerns and because you gave the mapmaker your attention, he will give you his attention.
- Give reasons. This is a big one. Universally, if you give reasons, a mapmaker will consider your idea further. Also, if a mapmaker is deciding between two options giving a reason as to why one option is better is worth more than just saying, "I like option A". You might say, "I like option A because it fits better with the rest of the map and makes the text more readable." More detail is more helpful, period.
- Show the mapmaker that you've put some thought into your post. If you come into a thread and just say "that line is blurry" then while you've shown the mapmaker something he might've missed, you've not really done anything great. The more time you put into your post, the more time people will spend thinking about your post then responding to it. There are exceptions where a person will completely ignore what you spent 30 minutes writing, but far and away they pay greater attention. Don't take these exceptions and assume everybody is like that. Some people have the map already made in their head and there's nothing anyone, even with reasons, can do to change their mind.
- The foundry is not a regular forum. This goes along with the previous point. Making the most posts is not seen as great in any forum but especially the foundry. We're here to make maps. Quality is always greater than quantity, though high-quality in quantity is terrific.
If you follow those points above then you've got a good foundation for giving feedback. Now let's get a bit more specific about graphics and gameplay. First let's define what graphics and gameplay are:
Gameplay is how the map will play. This includes bonuses, borders, regions, and any special elements like bombardments, one-way attacks and auto-deploys.
Graphics are a way to translate the gameplay into visual form. Here's a very simple example. While the gameplay says that region A has a one way border to assault region B, the graphics would be the representation of that one-way border with an arrow pointing from region A to region B. In addition, the graphics should also be aesthetically pleasing. This part of graphics is more subjective whereas the definition above is clear-cut. If you can't read the text then that's a problem with the graphics that needs to be changed to represent the gameplay properly. If you prefer font A over font B then that's not necessarily something that needs to be changed, as it doesn't impact the understanding of the gameplay.
- Think on a local and global perspective. If you're helping decide a bonus value, simply saying, "this continent has 5 territories and 4 borders so it should be +5" is not always correct. If there was a smaller continent adjacent to it which if held together would be 7 territories and 4 borders with a bonus of +7 then you've probably made a mistake. A bonus needs to make sense in relation to the other bonuses. Likewise, all other gameplay elements need to make sense in relation to each other.
- A bonus calculator is only a starting point for any map. People use bonus calculators to help start off their bonuses, but they might want their map to have higher or lower bonuses than usual.
- Think about what would happen in game situations. Some continents will obviously be held early. Is this going to overpower everyone else? Are some points in gameplay never going to get used because of a too high starting neutral value? Is part of the gameplay totally useless?
- Is everything fitting the same theme? If one part of the map looks like medieval Europe and the other part like a Disney cartoon and that's not the theme the mapmaker is going after, pointing that out would help a lot. Faithfulness to a theme is a major part of the graphics of a map.
- You must always be aware of color blindness. If you're not color blind it's a bit hard to actually help on this, but always have it in the back of your mind. Maybe a map is only using color to differentiate bonus regions, when it's possible to use shapes and colors? Regions might be coded with different color circles when they could have red triangles, blue circles, and green squares, for instance. Nearby regions with very similar colors are also something to look out for.
- If you were to play on the map that day, would you be able to figure out how to play, assuming you had nothing other than the map to go on? Maybe a rule needs clarifying in the legend because the graphics do not translate them well enough, or some borders need to be more clearly defined.

What you guys think of HonorCon?
I myself thought it was amazing! The panels were extremly fun, and I think my favorite panel was David Weber's trail. I espeacially loved when, his kids wouldn't give their opinion, but i think it waas more of shyness(that would be me too) I also liked the kids track, it was very well organized, and looked really fun. The consuite had awsome food, don't really know about the greenroom, but heard great reports. I hope they do one next year, in Greenville, because its an absoulutley great town!


text: We grabbed a couple of words with the proud new owner of one of eleven US-bound Lamborghini Reventons at the 2008 Meadow Brook Concours D'Elegance on Sunday. Apparently he had driven it off the lot that day, straight to its spot on the Concours. Aside from causing a permanent priapism, the Reventon is Lambo's most extreme supercar to date, with 640 HP emanating from that sinister-looking V12. When the car first came out, we were a bit skeptical of its $1.4 million price tag, but out in the daylight, looking like a machine designed to bring about the apocalypse, it made the Bugatti Veyron down the row look like something you'd drive to the festival of hugs.
