Elizabeth Holmes tells the jury that at least some of Theranos was real
By Publishing Team
So far, Elizabeth Holmes' defense has had a hard time showing that Theranos has a real device and has worked with real pharmaceutical companies. This was actually not in question, particularly in the time period the defense was asking about. Still, it seems to be the point Hey, look, some things at Theranos were real.
But today, in her cyber scam experiment, we saw a scientific demonstration – not real science, just a marketing copy. We saw the guts of Theranos. We heard about the company doing iteration on the device. We've seen emails with pharmaceutical companies.
Theranos' work with pharmaceutical companies was not in question; We saw the money Theranos got from this business early on in the prosecution's case, with Controller Dennis Yam. The problem with drug companies was the "verification" reports that Theranos produced about their technology in those partnerships. Although the reports were written by Theranos employees, investors said they believed the reports were written by pharmaceutical companies.
Holmes admitted that Theranos did not work with the Department of Defense at all
To make matters worse, we saw two reports with Schering-Plow and Pfizer logos. Schering-Plow's memorandum is also included in relation to its original version. When Theranos first sent the report to Schering-Plow, it didn't have the drug company's logo on it, and read that Theranos "gives accurate, accurate results." The copy seen by Walgreens had the Schering-Plow logo and language that read "Gives more accurate and precise results…than current 'gold standard' reference methods."
Investors testified that Theranos' work with drug companies and the armed forces was significant. They thought this meant that drug companies and the Department of Defense had signed on to the technology, and used it in clinical trials and in Afghanistan — a lie that journalist Roger Barloff heard, too. Today, Holmes acknowledged that Theranos did not work with the Department of Defense at all.
Her testimony was brief – the trial was delayed by an hour and a half for a meeting in the judge's rooms between the lawyers of the two sides. The reason for the meeting was not explained. The court hearing also ended relatively early, at 1 p.m. PT.
Holmes, who seemed comfortable on the mount, was asked to explain why the cartridges on the Series 1.0 did not work. They are stacked and held together with adhesive, but the adhesive can separate, leaving the stacked layers peeling off so they don't work properly. I wasn't quite sure why this was important – we knew Theranos was looping on the device.
"The success was that we successfully achieved the objectives of the program."
Her answers were largely untechnical. Whether it was because she didn't have the technical knowledge, or because she wanted to make sure she didn't confuse the jury, was not clear to me. At times, Holmes' testimony was so close to the documents that we found it funny. After reading the emails, you will be asked what they mean and you will reply with almost a word in the email. In the slide show, one of the slides was titled "Completed Successes". Holmes' attorney, Kevin Downey, asked her what success means in this context.
"The success was that we successfully achieved the objectives of the program," she replied. And when it comes to the performance of Theranos? "I remember it was really good."
The "completed hits" were, in Theranos parlance, almost all of the drug companies' preliminary studies. The only exception was a study with Stanford University, which has already been published.
The outlines of working with several pharmaceutical companies were quite similar. A large pharmaceutical company will do preliminary work with Theranos, which Holmes has usually described as successful. But no clinical trial work has emerged. This was true for Merck, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Celgene. Theranos created tests for AstraZeneca and worked on a clinical trial for Centocor.
"I think calling her every morning for the past three weeks has finally paid off…"
In the Centocor experiment, Theranos was tested against standard labs. When asked how her devices performed in comparison, Holmes replied, "He did well." Many of her answers were brief and factual, as if she was discussing the weather.
The most interesting parts of her testimony were about Pfizer and Schering-Plow. Crucially, for Holmes to be found guilty of wire fraud, the government must show that it knew it was lying when it gave investors bad information — mistakes are not illegal.
So we saw some emails. At Schering-Plow, Constance Colin was the main point of contact for Theranos. (And Coleen testified earlier, for the prosecution.) As Colin testified, Merck bought her company while in contact with Holmes, and since she was put in charge of a newly incorporated group, working with Theranos has fallen by the wayside.
In an email from a Theranos employee to Holmes, the employee wrote that Cullen is overwhelmed with work from the acquisition. "Overall it was great," the email continued. "I think calling her every morning for the past three weeks has finally paid off…" Holmes was asked directly if Colin had informed her of Schering-Plough's poor opinion of Theranos tests. Holmes said no.
We've seen a lot of drug companies have gone through to do real business with Theranos
You can see where this is going – a very The generous reading of the situation is that Holmes didn't realize the technology was bad or that Merck didn't want to work with her, she just thought her contact had dropped the ball.
As for Pfizer, the defense produced emails that showed Holmes continued to talk to the company about the partnership until late 2015. In this email, a Pfizer employee suggested using Theranos' Walgreens centers as clinical trial sites. This didn't work, and Thearnos didn't work in a Pfizer clinical trial.
It's believable that all of these drug companies considered Theranos and chose not to proceed for unrelated reasons – but that's a huge stretch. Taken together, we've seen a lot of drug companies have gone through to do real work with Theranos.
But the thing about today's show is that Theranos' early work has not been challenged. According to the government, the fraud did not start until later. Besides, liars don't lie everyone the time.
And as she comes close to testifying on some other areas of interest, I hope there will be just as much contemporary email evidence. Since I had now heard Barloff's tapes of Holmes, I was struck by how confident they were in their lies and how believable they were. Being prefixed with these tapes means that no matter how confident or trustworthy she is, I still find myself doubting what she says unless there is something else to confirm it.

Metro forward Tellstrom gets call to the NAHL
By Matt Mackinder, Metro Jets
In just three days' time, the Metro Jets lost arguably their top defenseman and top forward.
And they couldn't be happier.
On Monday, blueliner and former captain David Chavis II was called up to the Aston Rebels of the North American Hockey League and then Wednesday, rookie forward Mathias Tellstrom earned an advancement with the NAHL's Kenai River Brown Bears.
"We are fortunate here that we have a program that can provide players the best opportunity to develop and advance," said Jets coach-GM Justin Quenneville. "We take pride in helping these young men and I will say it again, but year after year I am grateful to work for ownership groups that allow me to do this for players."
Tellstrom played in all five games for the Jets this season, netting a goal and three assists for four points. His lone goal was the game-winner in last Saturday night's 4-3 win at home over the West Michigan Wolves.
"Mathias has the ability to play at the NAHL and that was evident the moment he stepped on the ice with us in training camp," noted Quenneville. "Knowing (Kenai River coach) Geoff Beauparlant for years and coaching against him, Mathias will fit in well. They have a great program and play on Olympic ice at home as well. He should transition well."
"Coach Q and Geoff talked on the phone about me because Kenai has an open import spot, so they've decided to give me an opportunity, which I'm grateful for," added Tellstrom. "I know that the team is from Alaska, which is pretty similar to Sweden with cold winters, a lot of trees and lakes. The NAHL is similar to the NA3HL, but with a faster pace and more skillful players, which I like."
Joining the Jets from Linkoping, Sweden, Tellstrom now heads to the Last Frontier to make an impact and to hopefully, stay there all season. "Justin told me that if I do my best every single day and work on the small things on the ice, the opportunity will come and I know from recent seasons that Metro and the coaches has been great when it comes to moving up players to NAHL," said Tellstrom. "They're experienced in doing this and I never doubted in them and as I said before, I'm very grateful for this opportunity.
"I think that if I just keep working hard on and off the ice as I have in Metro, I'll have a good chance of completing the season in NAHL."
The Brown Bears travel to play the Minnesota Wilderness and former Jets forward Ryan Bloom this weekend at the Northwoods Credit Union Arena in Cloquet, Minn.

Column: High school football stars Aaron Dumas, Alec Marenco, Orion Olivas inspire El Paso
Covering high school sports throughout nearly 24 years of my life has allowed me to see many great athletes in a variety of sports.
That's why it's always fun when they choose a college to attend either in the city where I work or a nearby city so I can cover them on the college level, which has happened numerous times.
Sadly, three of El Paso's best athletes won't be staying home to continue their football careers after they graduate in 2021. Americas running back Aaron Dumas and Burges linebacker Alec Marenco have decided to take their talents to the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, while Eastlake quarterback Orion Olivas has verbally committed to Houston Baptist. Unless New Mexico or Houston Baptist wind up on UTEP's schedule the next few years, seeing these three players live in person won't be easy to do.
Dumas, Olivas and Marenco represent El Paso's very best not just as athletes but most importantly as people and their respect for what their community means to them. They've brought a great deal of notoriety to the city because of their successes in athletics and have helped bring a lot of colleges coaches' eyes to the Sun City.
Dumas, who is a two-time All-State selection in Class 6A, has been a star in the making since he emerged on the varsity level as a sophomore, while Olivas and Marenco saw their stock grow immensely as juniors after posting impressive numbers. What's impressive about Marenco, Olivas and Dumas is their work ethic, which should stand as an inspiration to up-and-coming athletes in any sport. Their dedication and drive have gotten them to this point. There are athletes who work as hard as they do, but not many — if any at all — who outwork them.
The hard work the trio of athletes have put in has been noticeable even as the COVID-19 pandemic has kept them away from being with their teams and will limit their season, which is slated to start in early October instead of late August. It's been hard on them, as it has been for all athletes, but they have moved forward and now have accomplished their goals
Other El Paso high school sports stars
Marenco, Olivas and Dumas are the big names among the senior class in El Paso high school football. Others such as Eastlake's Blas Compean (DB), Montwood's Ivan Escobar (DL) and Franklin's James Apsey (DL) are certainly names to keep an eye on this fall.
Hopefully, among the city's other top players, some will be able to stay home and play at UTEP. The Miners have to be stinging a bit after losing out on Marenco and Dumas, especially to an old Western Athletic Conference foe in New Mexico. The Lobos, like UTEP, have been struggling badly in recent years, but it appears new UNM coach Danny Gonzales has been able to do what UTEP hasn't and that's create a positive energy and build a strong recruiting base regionally.
Seeing the likes of Dumas, Marenco and Olivas leave El Paso will be hard for local fans because those guys are three of the reasons why fans go to high school games. They play at a high level, compete with everything they have for their school, their teammates, coaches and community, and are successful.
El Paso has had the fortune of seeing many high-quality athletes play Division I football through the years — players such as Ed Stansbury, Billy Davis, Ray Mickens, John Skelton, Aaron Jones, Alvin Jones, Lance Taylor, Eric Jack, Steven Montez and Mike Williams. Dumas, Marenco and Olivas all have the potential to be as good as some of those players and others who have gone on to success after high school.
Hopefully, there will be a football season this fall and hopefully we get to see Marenco, Dumas and Olivas play a few more games. In any year, this trio of players would be worth the price of admission, but with everything that has happened this year, seeing the city's best football players can at least bring people joy for a couple of hours on a Friday night.
On another note, this week would have been the first weekend of football games for El Paso teams. While schools in Classes 1-4 around the state are beginning play, El Paso teams won't start practice until Sept. 7.
It's been as difficult for the players as for the coaches as they have tried to stay mentally in tune with each other through virtual workouts. While the virtual workouts helped the players and coaches stay connected, nothing beats being in the weight room or on the field.
The mental strain of not being with teammates and coaches has surely had an impact on many, but hope remains and hopefully all those who want to play this season will get the chance.

Q: Merge Captured video stream of 2 html5 canvas I am building a whiteboard app for a web conferencing app. All the libraries that I have investigated uses 2 canvas , 1 on the top for drawing and 1 in the bottom for holding the older drawings(for better performance since the upper canvas gets cleared on every draw).
Now I need to stream the content of these canvases for the other uses so they can see the content live.
Option1 :
captureStream from each canvas and merge the videtracks into a single stream, new MediaStream([...bottomTracks, ...topTracks]), transfer the stream using webrtc and then extract the tracks from the stream, create a new stream for each track new MediaStream([stream.getVideoTracks()[0]])  and play the streams on absolutely positioned video elements. It works but my boss doesn't like it, don't know why? yet!
Is there a downside to this?
Option2:
Create a third off screen canvas and periodically drawImage of the both canvas's on the offscreen canvas and then captureStream from that canvas!
So is there a better way or another way to achieve this?
Update : Why Am I Using 2 canvases?
There only 1 reason, not to redraw everything again if I want to change something that is already drawn, what would change you might ask?
In 2 scenarios for me:

*

*Smoothing the line that has been finished drawing by mousedrag,touchmove or pen (to make it feel more like a natural writing, checkout http://fabricjs.com/freedrawing)

*Draw shapes by mousedrag, touchmove or pen

I know that I can redraw everything on every change but I believe it would have low performance on low end devices.
2 canvases are positioned absolutely on top of each other, The actual user drawings are done on the upper canvas and when its done and any enhancements needed are applied to it, the line/shape gets drawn on the bottom canvas and the upper canvas is cleared.

A: As noted in the comments by kaiido, you only need one canvas on the screen.
In record.a.video I superimpose 2 video streams (screen video and camera video) onto one canvas. I then use another Media Stream to extract the video from the canvas and share as a VOD or to livestream.
Note that audio must be handled differently, as it is played in the Canvas.

Quickfire Review: Muppets Most Wanted (2014)
By hooray4movies on October 20, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )
Synopsis: While on a grand world tour, The Muppets find themselves wrapped into an European jewel-heist caper headed by a Kermit the Frog look-alike and his dastardly sidekick.
The 2011 Muppet Movie was a surprising reboot for a much loved franchise that had been languishing for the 15 or so years since Muppet Christmas Carol . While the Muppets themselves were always the stars of the show, they were only as strong as the human characters they were placed in the company of. In Jason Seagal they found the perfect fanboy with the right blend of puppy dog eyes and comic timing to be the emotional anchor to the Muppets' shenanigans. Plus the classic "get the old gang back together to play one last show to save the theatre/old people's home/old people's theatre" trope worked well but left them with a difficult follow up once the inevitable sequel was put into motion.
That sequel comes in the form of Muppets Most Wanted, a fun romp with big nods to the classic ensemble screw ball comedies of the 60's, which even if it doesn't quite hit the emotional heights of it's predecessor, still scores enough big laughs and clever musical numbers to push through. Picking up literally where the first one finished The Muppets waste no time in launching into a big opening number about the perils of sequels that makes the 22 Jump Street self referential jokes seem deftly subtle. Now at a loss for how to build on the public's reignited love affair with The Muppets they turn to Ricky Gervais's Tour Manager/deadpan catburglar Dominic Badguy. Having busted notorious uber-criminal, Kermit doppelgänger and all round bad amphibian Constantine out of the Gulag, Badguy sees an opportunity to use the Muppets World Tour as a cover to boost some of the World's most priceless artifacts. In return Kermit must face time in the Gulag, framed as Constantine by virtue of a stick on mole, while the gang can't seem to tell they have a much bigger mole in their midst by virtue of Constantine posing as their squeaky voiced leader Kermit.
As the Muppets bounce around Europe on a crowd pleasing tour they are chased at every turn by bumbling French Interpol agent Jean-Pierre Napoleon (Ty Burrell in full Peter Sellars mode) determined to catch whoever is stealing the artifacts, in spite of his being hampered by 4 hour working days, 6 hour lunches and 8 weeks paid vacation. Meanwhile in the Gulag Tina Fey brings the funny as the hard faced Governor who just wants to put on a memorable Gulag Review.
Sequels are hard. Particularly if the first relied on a certain amount of surprise. And at times it feels like Muppets Most Wanted relies on seemingly never ending slew of celebrity cameos to fill in the gaps where the emotional resonance was in the first. To its credit though it is the most impressive cameo list since The Player. And at the end of the day, I laughed out loud more than enough to compensate for it's faults.
Conclusion: As sequels go it was better than it should have been if a certain amount of celebrity distraction was used to fill the voids
Verdict: 7/10

Saban's Salary Dwarfs Many HBCU Athletic Budgets
Alabama coach Nick Saban will make almost double Mississippi Valley State's 2013-14 projected budget.
The word out of Tuscaloosa is that not only is Nick Saban staying at Alabama–he's getting a big raise. Reports place Saban's new deal as worth anywhere from $7 to $7.5 million per year. Saban's old deal, $5.4 per year, was pretty sweet. But his new contract further illustrates the difference between the haves and have-nots in Division I College athletics.
Saban's new salary means he will make more than many D1 schools spend on athletics as a whole. Not just on football, but on athletics as a whole. In fact, Saban's new salary means he will make more than the projected 2013-14 budgets of half the SWAC's programs.
According to a USA Database, Saban's new salary will pay him more than 12 schools spent on athletics in 2012. Nine of those programs were HBCUs. Check out the list below.
1. Coppin State– $3.5 million
2. Mississippi Valley State– $4.6 million
3. Alcorn State– $5.6 million
4. Maryland-Eastern Shore– $5.7 million
5. Jackson State– $5.9 million
6. Savannah State– $6 million
7. Southern– $ 6.6 million
8. Alabama A&M– $6.6 million
9. Grambling State– $6.9 million

Bahraini women make up around 83 per cent of the country's unemployed, according to new statistics presented by the labour minister.
Labour Minister Jameel Humaidan yesterday admitted employing women had been a challenge, despite 65 per cent of private sector jobs catering to them, said the report in the Gulf Daily News (GDN), our sister publication.
He pledged to find a long-term solution to the crisis during a press conference following yesterday's Cabinet session, which was chaired by His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, at Gudaibiya Palace.
He presented the Cabinet with unemployment indicators for the third quarter of this year, which dropped from 4.7 per cent in the second quarter to 4.4 per cent.
The report shows statistics for July, August and September with the latter being the best monthly rate at 4.3 per cent.
There are 188,724 government and private sector employees in Bahrain and 8,595 unemployed Bahrainis, according to the Central Informatics Organisation's statistics.
"Out of the unemployed, 83 per cent are females despite the private sector asking for females as 65 per cent of the jobs on offer being oriented for them.
"Yes, we have managed to drop the unemployment rate from the second quarter by 0.3 per cent, but the challenge is to get females to accept jobs. We are looking for long-term solutions for that including the possibility of improving the quality of what is being offered to them."
Humaidan said an average of 1,655 Bahrainis were employed in the third quarter of the year, with 1,944 being hired in September.
He added 13,111 Bahrainis were trained by the ministry by the end of September, compared to 10,980 Bahrainis in June.
He also revealed that the number of beneficiaries from the monthly unemployment allowance dropped from 5,972 in June to 4,976 in September.
"We have formed a special committee to study cases of those benefiting and whether they were interested to find jobs or just trying to get the allowance," he said.
Meanwhile, Humaidan said 98 per cent of those dismissed from their jobs during the unrest in 2011 have been reinstated.
"The issue has been closed, but the International Labour Organisation (ILO) still considers it valid and that's mainly because there are three separate bodies that look into the case differently," he said.

$500. Need sound card, mic, accessories from Guitar Center. Newbie here!
Hey guys. I'll start by mentioning I don't really know anything about recording, but seeing how good my friend could make my music sound made me want to buy some recording gear haha. He referred me to this forum for suggestions on what to buy.
So the Guitar Center is doing this thing where if you spend at least $499, you get $100 off. Sounds pretty good to me.
I'm about to drop at least $500. Maybe a little more if necessary but lets say for now this is my budget (If it's REALLY worth it, I can go over). Could someone link me what I should buy from www.guitarcenter.com? I am assuming the basics are a sound card/interface and a mic, but again, I'm just assuming! Also, if the Guitar Center is just overpriced to begin with and not worth the $100 off, then just let me know and link me something else.
I just need stuff to record guitar (most acoustic) and vocals. That's about it. Nothing fancy. Just for things like songs and covers to put on facebook and YouTube and whatnot.
Please also let me know about any cables I might need. I'm a total beginner here!
yeah, don't go buying anything just yet. Read up a little on what you're about to own. Those GC promos will come and go and the gear you want will more or less still cost the same.
Assuming you have a decent computer, what you need is software, an interface with a mic pre, a mic, cables, and a guitar if you don't own one already. Also, you would need either headphones or some monitors so you can hear yourself.
(1) Firewire interfaces (sound cards) generally require you to have a separate fw card with a TI chipset amongst other things, so unless you wanna go down that route, I suggest a usb interface to keep things simple.
Something like the focusrite saffire 6 usb would work. It has built in mic preamps to use. It also has a headphone out that you can use if you don't have speakers.
(2) You'll need recording software. You can DL Reaper which is free to try and $50 to own. Other software is out of your budget but come with instruments and fx to play around with. You can find decent free ones if you look around. Something like Fruity Loops might be fun too since you can use that to make beats and stuff on. I think it's $50-100?
You can ask around about mics and the other things mentioned above...getting (1) and (2) will be about $200-$250 of your budget.
(3) You may also consider getting a midi keyboard that you can use with vst instruments like drums/piano/synths should you choose to get some virtual instruments. You can find a used 49 key midi board for like $50. May come in handy.
Finally, if you're really doing this just for fun, don't let people steer you towards things like external HDDs, etc. For your needs, it's unnecessary and you can always get those things later should you get more interested.
The above poster is right on. Just take your time and do research.
That would be a VERY flexible, high quality beginners rig that could grow with you as you grow.
Maybe you could show the add to guitar center and coax them into giving you a better deal?
Look around for some kind of interface, if you're mainly doing acoustic guitar and vocals for youtube, i can't see you needing more than 2 inputs...in this case USB or firewire...both will be pretty equal at this stage.
If you wanna record your guitar and voice at the same time, maybe a 57 and 58...oh and XLR-XLR cables...two of them...don't get tricked into buying XLR-1/4"
Like above posters said, take your time and research out your options.
Do you have a PC or mac? If mac, just use Garage Band. It's very capable for a freebie.
Do you have a decent set of home stereo speakers you can use for monitors? I'm asking because IMO dedicated studio monitors in the price range you're considering will offer you no benefits over a decent set of home stereo speakers. Besides, if you already have them and listen to music on them, you already know what music should sound like on them. Any new studio monitor, you'll have to learn.
Thank you for the suggestions guys! I'd really love to take my time but the $100 off offer only goes through Dec 31, so I can't haha.
I forgot to point out I'm not terrible at mixing, just recording I'm not sure how this happened really. I own a copy of Cakewalk Sonar already with very nice headphones and speakers, as well as a $2000 laptop. Okay time to stop bragging -_-, but I've always just recorded stuff with a crappy webcam and made that sound as good as possible. I always got it to the point where I thought things sounded okay, but after hearing what a real studio mic and interface could do, I was completely blown away.
So all I really need is a mic and an interface. Does that SM57 sound good for only being $100? I could easily throw over $200 for a mic. Let me know.
The 57 is fine, it's easily the most-used mic in the music industry.
I have an MBox Mini just for making demos at home; it works just fine (I have a Pro Tools HD3 Accel rig at my studio).
Honestly, that Digidesign package above is what I'd probably go for. I'm pretty sure Guitar Center could have something like that going, they're related to Musician's Friend in some way.
A Shure SM57 is a useful mic, but it's crap on acoustic guitar, without question. I like the microphone with the package about better.
But I definitely recommend getting an SM57, but I'd also suggest getting either an MXL V67G or 2003a. If you buy from B&H Photo, you can get the 2003a in a pack with the 603S, shockmounts and windscreens for each, two XLR cables and a hardshell case for $179. With a dynamic like the SM57 and a good condenser or two, you'll be able to cover a lot of ground.
I'm assuming that by mentioning Sonar, that's the software you want to stick with. That's cool.
So you need an interface and a mic or two.
You said you're keeping it simple acoustic guitar and vocals.
I think the Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 is a great box to start with. 2 mic pres with 2 additional line ins for keyboards or if you graduate to outboard mic pres.
I think for mics you get something like the AT2041SP mic pack Those 2 mics should give you plenty of sounds to experiment and learn with.
Don't forget to get mic cables, mic stands, and such.

MXL 2003/603S Microphone Pac Plus and more Microphone Packages at GuitarCenter.com.
Rode Microphones NT1-A Condenser Mic Bundle and more Condenser Microphones at GuitarCenter.com.
Like someone already said if you go firewire you might run into problems with the chipset (you want a Texas Instruments Firewire chipset), however I don't know much about the USB interfaces. Just make sure you get USB 2.0.
For vocals and acoustic guitar you'll definitely want a condenser, not a dynamic mic. However it's always a good idea to have a SM57 laying around.
Yes it is the most used mic in the industry......for stage vocals.
This way, you can do guitar with it, and anything else for that matter, including vocals. You will not get the same detail from your guitar with an SM57, either. You need an interface with phantom power for it, though. Shouldn;t alter the budget much.
This mic package just went on sale at GC for $149, the LDC is a 2003A with a different paint job. Excellent mic, plus you get an SDC, shockmounts, case, etc. Then you've got $350 left. See the 2003A thread for a shootout done by kidvybes.
I've never used FireWire before. My laptop has a 4-pin port. I just buy a 6-pin to 4-pin connector and I should be good to go correct?
MXL CR-24 Black Chrome Microphone and more Condenser Microphones at GuitarCenter.com.
Which is the better mic? The site tells me I am saving $300 on the MXL CR-24, which means it has to be pretty decent haha. Can someone clarify? I couldn't find a demo of it on YouTube. The Rode NT1-A however sounded really good in a demo. Someone just tell me what the better option is out of these and I'll be ready to purchase!
That'll put me just over $500. I'll spend the remaining budget on a stand and cables or something.
Thank you all so much for all the help guys! This is so exciting. I can't wait to visit the store tomorrow.
The audiofire is a SOLID interface...I used to own the AF8. But as you say, if you've never gone the firewire route and you're on a PC laptop, be weary. You will need an expresscard with a TI chip and even with one, it can be tricky.
If I need a new interface, I'm going fw...BUT if I was wanting to make home demos of vocals and guitar, I'd go usb and be done with it. In any case, that interface is a good solid one. Just make sure you have the other things ready to get it working properly.
Also, you will find cheaper prices than at GC and you won't pay tax if you order out of state. That's you're cable money right there.
Is an express fw card with TI chip necessary? I can't just plug the interface into my 4-pin fw port and have it work? I keep reading about how fw is much faster than USB and that I should get it if I can. If this means buying an express fw card, I would rather do that if say a $300 Echo AudioFire 4 is really that much better than the $300 M-Audio Fast Track Ultra.
How do I check what kind of fw chipset I already have?
EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!: Figured it out. JMicron.
i have big problems using build in firewire-chip (Jmicron JMB83x) on my notebook - all the audio interfaces i plug in simply wont work properly.
on echo audiofire 4 i could hear audio but with lot of crackle/noises (expecially in ASIO mode)."
^NO THANK YOU! Going with a USB interface. Probably M-Audio Fast Track Ultra now. If the Focusrite Saffire 6 is actually better, please let me know. Also still wondering about the mics. Rode NT1-A or MXL CR-24? Thank you!
If the Saffire 6 were USB 2.0 I'd say go for that hands down, but all things considered I'd say go with the fast track ultra.
Like mhs2xs said, GC in store is offering the MXL 2003a combo for $150 right now. Online it's still $199, but someone suggested that that might change on the 1st. However that will be too late for you. I'd say just for guitar and vocals just go for the NT1a and be done with it. From what I've read it can be pretty bright (emphasis on highs), whereas the MXL 2003a is more neutral. However it seems that the sound of the NT1a is nice for acoustic guitar.
I ended up going with the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra and the MXL CR-24 pac. The Rode was sold out at my local guitar center.
So far VERY happy except for one thing. My Cakewalk Sonar is freaking out and keeps BSODing every time I press stop record. Never had this problem with my old mic. I tested the gear out in Reaper however, and it sounds amazing. This software will be a problem though.
To be honest I was never really a huge fan of Cakewalk Sonar. I posted on their boards for help, but just in case I feel like trying something new, what software do you guys recommend? Price doesn't matter. What's the best out there? I like Reaper so far, but feel it may be too simple.
EDIT: I didn't realize an interface is just like an external sound card! Now all of the music I listen to sounds better too haha.
actually the Saffire 6 is usb. Looks like the Op went with the fast track. Perhaps a little too late, but I hope you didn't pay $300 for the fast track.
In any case, good luck and have a good time.
Reaper is as full fledged as you'll get aside from some midi and editing options and included instruments. Just used it last night with a friend and he made a little demo for himself in no time. If you've already got Sonar, you should be able to make it work.
'best' is determined by the user. Most DAWs are comparable these days and it really depends on what you're using it for and how comfortable you are with it. I use Cubase/Live/PTLE for different things and I like them all. Have the most experience with Cubase so that's my choice most of the time.
By reaper being "simple" I'm assuming you mean it lacks flashy GUI and may be limited in flexibility. Reaper is really quite powerful and flexible. I haven't run into anything yet that Reaper couldn't do. Give it a little time and YouTube some tutorials. It'll be worth it.
Yeah screwing around with Reaper, it seems pretty awesome. I took a long time to figure out Sonar, but I'm not pro and don't really need all that flashy stuff like you mentioned. It seems just as capable as Sonar.
Overall, things are going awesome. Once again, thank you all for all your help. I did pay $300 for the Fast Track Ultra lol. The guy at GC was trying to charge $350 saying the sale ended 2 days ago. I was like eff that and got him to drop it back down. It said $300 on the website anyway. Man if I should have gotten the Saffire 6, bummer! I am pretty satisfied with the Fast Track Ultra though, it being my FIRST sound interface haha.
One question though. How to get rid of all static? There is a tiny bit of static coming into my headphones. It is very minor and almost not noticeable, but how do I completely get rid of it?
The saffire would have given you better preamps and overall SQ, but the fast track lets you transfer more data being USB 2.0. There's always a tradeoff.
The static may just be the mic noise. There will always be a little of that. The NT1a is known for being super low noise, but it's hard to beat the CR-24 at $150. As a matter of fact I picked one up today and so far I love it :D Did you get it at the sale price?
how complex do you need it?
Harvey, what is your Guitar Center mic test method?


Interesting enough, Staying Alive stopped working for me yesterday after it had been working for a long time (months).
You might recall that I had all sorts of issues getting Staying Alive to work initially but once I got it working, it's been relatively stable for me as it was for you. However, when it stops working and just resaving the existing settings don't get it running again, I recreate them and usually that's enough to keep me going for another month before I have to rinse and repeat. I also usually do both urls: https://forums.garmin.com/forum and https://forums.garmin.com.
At this moment only the second url (sans forum at the end) is functioning.for me. Other times, both urls work and other times only the first url works.
...and if the forums worked properly, there would be no need for a 'fix'.
Saying that, I'm now into day 4 and have not had an issue of being locked out just switching pages, or being unable to sign-in. Is it fixed? Only time will tell.
I have the same problem. I have to log in again every time I come back to check the forums even if I check the "remember me" checkbox every time. It usually keeps me logged in if I browse the forum and write couple of messages, but if I leave and come back couple hours later I have to login again. I assume the problem is just that "remember me" checkbox does nothing or something is wrong with the cookies that it should save on my computer. I use firefox as web browser.
So, when it will be fixed?
No idea ... It's been broken from the start.
Who is the imbecile that decided to reinstate the captchas?! It is hard enough to post a SINGLE message in the forum without finding you've been logged out but to also forciing users to fight the captcha authentication system is a whole new level of stupidity from the admins/mods.
GET RID OF THE CAPTCHAS UNTIL THE CURRENT FORUM POSTING ISSUE IS RESOLVED!
Attempt 8 and fought my way thru 12 captcha pictures and 49 picture clicks to post this message.
I don't have the same issues of being logged out like you but I agree it can be frustrating. However with 3,251 posts, you must have lived through the spamming that went on in the forum. It's only when the captchas were implemented that the problem became controllable. I feel for you but I suspect your frustration will escalate dramatically if the captchas are removed.
so 8 attempts, with each one requiring a log-in, 12 separate catptcha pics and 49 picture clicks for a single post is deemed acceptable?
So how would it be if you had to navigate three times as many pages every time you checked new posts in the forum because 2 out of 3 threads would be spam. That being said, it seems to me that the number of spam threads was very low with just the checkmark. The photos don't seem to add any value although I don't see what the mods do.
Very little spam gets through these days, in the good old days I was often deleting 50 or more a day, now it's just a few and many of them are trapped 'waiting for approval'.
I see the value of the checkmarks but are the photos really necessary?

Installation/Upgrade/Update
What Is the QuickBooks Migration Policy?
The QuickBooks migration policy is Intuit's policy to provide a free upgrade to a soon-to-be-released version of QuickBooks to those customers who purchased the currently shipping version very close to the new version's introduction. The free migration period is about 60 days.
Typically, Intuit releases a new version of QuickBooks in the last week of September. Without a policy to provide a free upgrade to the new version, prospective QuickBooks customers might otherwise suspend purchases until after the official release of a new version. That wouldn't be good for sales.
The migration policy discourages potential customers from deferring purchases. It also allows customers to buy and use the time-tested, currently-shipping version that has been on the market for 10 months or more while gaining access to the latest software. That new software can be put to use once its stability has been affirmed in the market. For those who are reluctant to install the first release of a new program but want the features of a new QuickBooks version, the migration policy offers solid benefits. For those years when there's an expected price jump on QuickBooks, the migration policy offers built-in savings, since you'll receive the higher-priced new version by paying the lower, current price.
For QuickBooks 2013, the expected release date is 9/24/12, and the migration policy started on 7/25/12. That means any purchaser of QuickBooks 2012 from 7/25/12 through the release of QuickBooks 2013 is eligible to receive a free upgrade to that new version.
Let's clarify a few details on what constitutes a "free upgrade." If you received your QuickBooks software via download, you'll be able to receive the newly released version for free. However, if you opted to receive your QuickBooks software on physical media, such as as a DVD, then shipping charges and taxes will apply to your upgrade order. Moreover, free migration policy upgrades are not available to those who purchased QuickBooks software through a mass merchant.
Unfortunately, there are no links on Intuit sites documenting the migration policy, so the details are subject to change. And you'll need to contact Intuit to claim your free upgrade promptly. All in all, the migration policy removes all the reasons to defer buying QuickBooks for new installations and upgrades.
Did the Multi-User Capability of QuickBooks Pro Change For 2011?
Yes, it did. For QuickBooks Pro versions prior to QuickBooks Pro 2011, a multi-user configuration could consist of up to 5 users.
For QuickBooks 2011, that has been reduced from 5 users to 3. The maximum number of users allowed under QuickBooks Premier 2011 remains unchanged at 5.
However, because QuickBooks Pro and Premier share the same file format, it might be possible to create a configuration of 3 users running QuickBooks Pro and 2 users running Premier. That would spare a firm from upgrading all 5 licenses from Pro to Premier.
How Do I Update My QuickBooks Release?
Chief Mechanic · September 8, 2010 ·
Intuit uses 2 terms to describe QuickBooks: version and release. Version refers to the product and year (e. g., Pro 2009), while release refers to incremental updates to a version. Versions normally include significant feature enhancements and therefore must be purchased. Changing your version is a process that is referred to as an upgrade. On the other hand, releases normally include minor changes and bug fixes, which sometimes entail modification to the QuickBooks file structure. Often, there are multiple releases introduced over time, sometimes even after a newer version has already been introduced. Releases are typically provided free to users of a current QuickBooks version and are installed in a process referred to as an update. See our article for more information on how Intuit determines if your version of QuickBooks is current.
To update QuickBooks, click on the Help->Update QuickBooks… menu selection. On the Overview tab, click the Update Now button, which will take you to the Update Now tab. Alternately, you can navigate directly to the Update Now tab by clicking on that tab.
From the Update Now tab, click the Get Updates button.
QuickBooks will proceed to check for available updates and to download them if they're available. Some updates may not be installed until you close QuickBooks and restart the program, and some updates may require you to restart your computer. Therefore, plan the update process at a time when you can conveniently complete all steps. If you're running the latest release for your version, the Get Updates task will complete very quickly, usually in a minute or two.
If updates are downloaded that must be installed when QuickBooks starts, you'll see the QuickBooks Update Service window the next time you launch QuickBooks; this window will appear before QuickBooks fully loads. Click the Install Now button to install the downloaded updates. Once the updates are installed, QuickBooks will load normally.
If you are running QuickBooks in a multi-user environment, be sure to update all computers to the most current release before that computer next runs the QuickBooks program. See our article for more information on updating your QuickBooks release in a multi-user environment.
A common question that arises in determining the need to update QuickBooks is "What's my current version and release of QuickBooks?" To answer that and verify your version and release of QuickBooks, press F2 while QuickBooks is running to display the Product Information window. The Product field shows the version and release at the top left of the window. In the example below, Premier Accountant Edition 2009 is the version and R3P is the release.
What Is Intuit's Service Discontinuation or Sunshine Policy for QuickBooks?
Intuit regularly improves QuickBooks and discontinues support for older versions. Generally speaking, Intuit introduces new versions in the fall of a calendar year. For example, in September 2008, Intuit introduced the QuickBooks 2009 series of products. During April or May of the following year, versions more than 2 steps away from the current version will be discontinued.
That means in May of 2009, QuickBooks 2006 was discontinued. After discontinuation, you can continue to use an older copy of QuickBooks, but you won't have access to support or business services such as payroll or online banking. To continue to use those services, you'll need to upgrade to a supported version. Intuit posts the specifics of its QuickBooks service discontinuation policy online.
If you need to upgrade your copy of QuickBooks to continue to receive support or access to services, you can purchase QuickBooks at a discount (including download or delivery with free shipping) by accessing one of the links at our Buy QuickBooks page.
How Do I Update My QuickBooks Release In a Multi-User Environment?
Beyond the specifics of updating QuickBooks in a single user environment, the update process in a multi-user environment involves first updating the QuickBooks server and then, one by one, updating each workstation.
Of course, until the QuickBooks server has been updated, all workstations should exit QuickBooks. Moreover, no workstation should resume using QuickBooks until both that workstation and the server have been updated to the same release.
Here's our recommended steps to perform an update in a multi-user environment:
Start by having all QuickBooks users exit QuickBooks
Update the file server, reboot it, and load the database server manager
Load QuickBooks and open each of the company files maintained by the QuickBooks version just updated
Verify that the installed release on the server matches the release of the intended update
Update 1 workstation, reboot after the update is complete, and open a company file
Verify that the installed release on this workstation matches the release of the intended update
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each workstation
It's not recommended to run different releases on workstations in the same network. Therefore, once the update process has been started, it's important to successfully complete it on all workstations in the network.
Updates sometimes (but not always) involve updates to the underlying database structure of the QuickBooks company file (.qbw). That's why it's important to open each company file on the server once the new release is installed, because that step updates the company file.

Mailbag: Who Might Be This Year's George Selvie?
KEVIN JOINER
Do they cut Joseph Randle to keep Ryan Williams? With all the talk about how running backs are easy to find these days, why not keep Williams and have three running backs with three different styles?
Bryan: I don't think there is a real difference between the two. They both run hard, they both catch the ball and they both have issues with pass protection. Williams might be quicker but he doesn't play any special teams and Jerry Jones has always told us that the third back on this roster needs to help in that role.
David: I'm starting to wonder if there's a way both of these guys make the roster – potentially at the expense of a fullback. I'm not committing myself to that line of thinking, but the Cowboys have shown a history for carrying four running backs in the past. Bryan is right that Williams needs to find a role on special teams. For that matter, Randle would do well to improve his special teams performances. I hope Williams' nice night on Saturday was enough to earn him some first or second-team reps in Miami this weekend.
FORT DODGE, IA
Who do you feel has the best chance at becoming the next "George Selvie?"
Bryan:George Selvie missed an entire season, so Amobi Okoye could be that type of player, but the guy that has the most ability from the tape that I have seen is Zach Minter. With all the questions along this defensive line, he is going [embedded_ad] to continue to get an opportunity to make this football team. He gives them a little size inside and can play a couple of different positions, which they could use.
David: It's got to be Rolando McClain, right? Of course, McClain is a more high-profile player as a former top-10 draft pick, but it's fair to say everyone in the NFL had written him off when the Cowboys acquired him in July. Prior to Saturday night's loss to Baltimore, he hadn't played in a game since Nov. 25, 2012 – almost 18 months ago. If he continues to improve during the next two weeks, he could claim a starting job. That would have to be considered an upset after the road he's been down the last year or so.

Thucydides: General, Historian, and the Father of Scientific History
Thucydides was an Athenian general and historian, most notable for his work known as the History of the Peloponnesian War . Whilst Herodotus, a near-contemporary of his, is often hailed as the Father of History , Thucydides himself has been dubbed the Father of Scientific History . This is due to the methods that Thucydides employed whilst writing his History of the Peloponnesian War .
For instance, Thucydides had strict standards, which included the testimony of eyewitnesses and his own experiences as a general during the war, when it came to gathering evidence. Additionally, Thucydides wrote on events that were contemporary to his life, and he thought that an accurate inquiry into past events is impossible.
In his introduction, Thucydides wrote this (perhaps to implicitly rebuke Herodotus):
"Accurate research into earlier or yet more ancient history was impossible given the great gap of time,"
Herodotus and Thucydides. ( Public Domain )
The Life of Thucydides
Much of what we know about Thucydides' life comes from the few biographical references in the History of the Peloponnesian War . Thucydides is speculated to have been born around 460 BC. This estimation is based on the probable year during which the historian entered military service. Although he was born in the Athenian suburb of Halimos, his family is said to have been originally from the region of Thrace in northeastern Greece. It has also been claimed that Thucydides owned gold mines in this area, the proceeds of which probably funded his writing.

Thucydides was in Athens in 430 BC, the year when the city was struck by the plague. This was also the year after the Peloponnesian War had begun. This was a war that pitted the Athenians and the Spartans (and the allies of both city-states), which had emerged as the leading Greek city-states following the Graeco-Persian Wars. Thucydides expressed his belief that "this would be a major war and more momentous than any previous conflict.", and that "on the evidence which I [Thucydides] can trust I think there was nothing then on a larger scale, either in wars or in anything else."

Father of Political Realism and the Thucydides Trap
In 424 BC, Thucydides was given the command of a fleet, with which he was to prevent the city of Amphipolis from being captured by the Spartans. He failed to reach the city in time, thus failing in his mission. As a punishment for this failure, Thucydides was exiled.
For the next 20 years, Thucydides focused on writing his historical work. It may be mentioned that the History of the Peloponnesian War does not mention events that happened after 411 BC, including Athens' final surrender in 404 BC. Based on this, it has been speculated that Thucydides did not live to complete his work.
The ruins of Amphipolis as envisaged by E. Cousinéry in 1831: the bridge over the Strymon, the city fortifications, and the acropolis. ( Public Domain )
Other sources that deal, to a certain extent, with the Peloponnesian War include inscriptions, references in Aristophanes' comedies, and several figures in Plutarch's Parallel Lives . Still, Thucydides' work is the main source of information for this conflict. Whilst it is commonly said that Thucydides tried his best to remain objective, it has also been pointed out that the historian occasionally allowed his personal judgment to prevail in his writing. As an example, Thucydides was sympathetic to such figures as Hermocrates and Nicias. On the other hand, he seemed to have a negative perception of Cleon and Alcibiades.

Thucydides' contribution to world history extends beyond the realm of Classical studies and historical methodology. Some have suggested that this 5th century BC writer ought to be considered as the 'Father of Political Realism'. This is a school of thought which "posits that interstate relations are based on might rather than right." To illustrate, Thucydides asserts the true cause of the Peloponnesian War is as follows,
"In my view the real reason, true but unacknowledged, which forced the war was the growth of Athenian power and Spartan fear of it."

This state of affairs has been coined the 'Thucydides Trap', and has been applied to various instances of strained international relations, including the rise of Germany and the threat it posed to the British Empire shortly before the outbreak of the First World War, the rivalry between the Eastern Bloc and the Western Bloc during the Cold War, and, more recently, the increasingly tense situation in the South China Sea between China and several Southeast Asian nations (who are backed by the USA).

Q: Tensorflow tfrecord not being read correctly I'm trying to use Tensorflow to train a CNN on my own segmentation data set. Based on my research, tfRecords seemed to be the best way to go. I've figured out how to write to and read from a tfRecord database, but absolutely nothing I try successfully reads it within a Tensorflow graph. Here is a snippet that successfully reconstructs images and ground truth from my database:
data_path = 'Training/train.tfrecords'  # address to save the hdf5 file

record_iterator = tf.python_io.tf_record_iterator(path=data_path)
reconstructed_images = []
reconstructed_groundtruths = []
count = 0
for string_record in record_iterator:
  example = tf.train.Example()
  example.ParseFromString(string_record)
  height = int(example.features.feature['height']
                             .int64_list
                             .value[0])

  width = int(example.features.feature['width']
                            .int64_list
                            .value[0])

  gt_string = (example.features.feature['train/groundTruth']
                              .bytes_list
                              .value[0])

  image_string = (example.features.feature['train/image']
                            .bytes_list
                            .value[0])

  img_1d = np.fromstring(image_string, dtype=np.uint8)
  reconstructed_img = img_1d.reshape((height, width))
  gt_1d = np.fromstring(gt_string, dtype=np.uint8)
  reconstructed_gt = gt_1d.reshape((height, width))

  reconstructed_images.append(reconstructed_img)
  reconstructed_groundtruths.append(reconstructed_gt)
  count += 1

This code succeeds in giving me a list of numpy arrays for the images and ground truth labels in my database. Now, to attempt to actually train something, I am working from the MNIST example which you can find here.
I have replaced the decode function with the following:
def decode(serialized_example):

  features = tf.parse_single_example(
    serialized_example,
    # Defaults are not specified since both keys are required.
    features={
      'height': tf.FixedLenFeature([1],tf.int64),
      'width': tf.FixedLenFeature([1],tf.int64),
      'train/image': tf.FixedLenFeature([], tf.string),
      'train/groundTruth': tf.FixedLenFeature([], tf.string),
    })

  height = tf.cast(features['height'], tf.int64)
  width = tf.cast(features['width'], tf.int64)
  image = tf.decode_raw(features['train/image'], tf.uint8)
  image.set_shape((height,width))
  gt = tf.decode_raw(features['train/groundTruth'], tf.uint8)
  gt.set_shape((height,width))

  return image, gt

When I run it, there are multiple problems that indicate the code just plain fails to read the database. As written above, I will get an error on the line parsing height, which states

int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not
  'Tensor'

If I temporarily just set the height and width to literals, I get an error on the image parsing line that says

Shapes (?,) and (512, 512) are not compatible

It is obvious that this means the images were not correctly read from the database, but I have absolutely no idea why or how to fix it. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

A: I found the solution by sheer luck. Apparently,
image.set_shape((height,width))

Should be
image = tf.reshape(image,(height,width,1))

And similar for gt. I have no idea why the Tensorflow tutorial I was following uses set_shape... all I can guess is that it works for 1d but not for 2d or more? I can see now that it also isn't a tensor function, so it can't use graph-dependent variables like height, but that alone doesn't explain why it didn't work when I replaced (height,width) with global constants. Would appreciate further clarification if anyone knows.


In this VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on September, 7th, 2014, and during its 56.479th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see a (relatively) large Field of Dark Sand Dunes that is deposited on the very flat Floor of an Unnamed Impacr Crater located in the Martian Southern Hemisphere's Region known as Terra Cimmeria. If you pay attention, you will be able to spot a number of Gullies (---> small Channel-like Features of still not completely clear origin) which widely dissect both the Northern Inner Rim and Slopes of the Crater itself.
This image (which is an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter b/w and Map-Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 18755) has been additionally processed, magnified to aid the visibility of the details, contrast enhanced and sharpened, Gamma corrected and then colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a normal human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mars), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.


I just bought VSB and installed it on my Windows 10 1809, copied the original aero.msstyles from C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero to my user folder, opened it with VSB, didn't change anything and clicked on Test.
I get the error message "Error Testing MsStyles File. There was an error applying the Test MsStyles File, this usually signals an error in the MsStyles file."
I get this error with any msstyles I tried, but I realised that it's a bug because it complains about the original, untouched aero.msstyles, which can't be corrupted, because I'm using it at the moment.
I guess Windos would have complained about that.
Then try to test the attached 1809 Aero. I use it all the time for testing.
Yes, I did patch with UltraUXThemePatcher.
