Many car owners think that as long as they confiscate the old audio on the car, they complete the new refit. In fact, they cannot confiscate the audio so simply. The modification of the car audio can be divided into three kinds. They are trace, flaunt, and utility. Car audio modification is a kind of the audio. Automobile audio to refit a type of automobile audio refits
The type of trace audio conversion is the large-scale modification In act of kindness of the car interiors. The owners should pay much attention to the circuit in the car. Plus, they have to install a walk food inferiority car adapter, so that the audio can word glowing. They also cannot over glance the installation of more speakers. They can generate more jingle than human endurance. Award-winning entries cannot to have the assistance of the harmony.
In act of kindness of the flaunt audio modification, it is to promote of the manufacturers of audio products. Its characteristic is the use of modified equipment variety. It is exaggerated styling. It is a brand of audio show car. Both inside and outside of the car necessitates redesigned. Although the car was very eye-grab hold offing, the cost is very high. The cost is very expensive. Flaunt audio conversion in the design only considers the effect of propaganda. There is no consideration of environmental protection. They do not consider a propos the installation of the car adapter. They use a large amount of glue and paint spraying. If they open it every day, I?m afraid the owner will have In act of kindness of shade Hyde poisoning. Flaunt audio and competition type audio conversion is practical.
Practical audio conversion is in routine use of jingle system. After a simple modification of the car, it enhances inferiority purposes. This car will be the original car. The single platter CD host is renovated into DAB radio single platter CD host. The front small power cone loud speaker is replaced by a 6.5 inch split horn. In the midst of ?split soprano, it is a typical practical audio conversion.
Most owners would pick a practical modification. Practical audio conversion is to try to use the original vehicle location. There are no changes on the original car interior style. It occupies in the midst of? a cutback space in a vehicle. Owners also necessitate to pick a walk offal car adapter. But the practical audio conversion does not shrink the original car important functions, such as spare wheel, tools, and fire extinguisher. In this case the audio jingle inferiority has the paramount state.
BRUSSELS ? Eurozone finance ministers set the stage for further tough negotiations with private bondholders over how to cut Greece's massive debt pile, by setting a low limit on the interest rate the country will have to pay on new lower-valued bonds.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg who also chairs the meetings of eurozone finance ministers, said early Tuesday that the interest rate on the new bonds will have to average "clearly below 4 percent" over the lifetime of the bonds. In the period before 2020, the average interest rate will be less than 3.5 percent, he added.
Those caps are far below interest rates demanded by Greece's private creditors, who already have to give up on 50 percent of the face value of their investments and are expected to give the country between 20 or 30 years to repay them.
Time is running out for Greece to reduce its debt by some euro100 billion ($129 billion) and avoid missing a vital bond repayment deadline in March. Talks between the country and the creditors to secure a deal hit an impasse over the weekend.
By setting the low caps, the ministers made clear that they are not willing to increase their rescue loans to Athens beyond the euro130 billion tentatively agreed in October.
The tough negotiation stance will test the willingness of private creditors to voluntarily agree to the Greek debt relief. The alternative would be for the eurozone to force losses on the private bondholders ? a move that they have been reluctant to make.
A spokesman for in Institute of International Finance, which represents the private creditors, declined to comment on the announcement.
It has been two and half years since 62-year old Nick Christie was tortured and pepper-sprayed to death by police at the Lee County Jail. Although the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide, the law enforcement officers who kept him strapped naked to a chair and then pepper sprayed him until he died have not been charged in his death.
On January 20, 2010, the Injury Board?s National News Desk reported that Nick Christie?s wife, Joyce Christie, and her son, were planning to file a federal lawsuit because the police violated her husband?s constitutional rights. The article describes what allegedly happened when Christie was arrested for trespassing:
Christie, 62, was arrested last March after traveling from Ohio to Fort Myers while suffering, what his widow describes as a mental breakdown. Arrested twice for disorderly conduct and trespassing, Nick Christie was pepper sprayed ten times over the course of his 43-hour custody.
Suffering from emphysema, COPD, back and heart problems, the jail staff said his medical files were not available or immediately sought at the time of his arrest. But DiCello says Christie gave his medical history and list of medications to the jail days earlier during his first encounter with law enforcement.
His medication list was found in the back pocket of his pants when Christie?s personal effects were returned to his widow.
Sometime between the time he was arrested on March 27, 2009 around 2:00 p.m., and March 31 at1:23 p.m. when he was pronounced dead, Christie had been sprayed with ten blasts of pepper spray, also known as OC (Oleo-resin Capsicum), which is a derivative of cayenne pepper.
The officers involved in the incident say that Christie was ?combative, despite the fact he was restrained in a chair so he allegedly wouldn?t spit at his jailers.? However, other inmates on the cell block tell a different story. They say that there was excessive use of pepper spray, his whole head was turning purple, he was gasping for air and was telling the officers that he couldn?t breathe and that he had a heart condition. (source: Injury Board)
According to the medical examiner, the death was a homicide caused by the stress that the restraints and repeated use of pepper spray placed on his heart. However, the State Attorney?s office decided there was no wrongdoing, therefore the officers involved in the incident were never charged in the homicide. In a memo issued on January 5, 2010 that is lacking in any detail, Assistant State Attorney Dean R. Plattner wrote:
The evidence presented in this case does not legally prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any individual or group of jail personnel had any intent to kill Nicholas Christie, or otherwise committed an act of murder. Even considering the lowest level of criminal homicide, manslaughter, the evidence does not prove that such criminal offense was committed.
According to Joyce Christie?s attorney, Nick DiCello, it is shocking that the state attorney came to this conclusion. Even if they thought there was probable cause that there was a crime, the case could have gone forward.
Now, Fox News has obtained a photo of the incident, which ?shows the Ohio man restrained inside the Lee County Jail with his body covered in pepper spray.? Di Cello explains that the ?photo is a picture of a man who is strapped to a chair naked inside a jail for hours with a hood over his face. That evokes thoughts of being tortured.?
DiCello told the Injury News Board:
Humanity has failed here. And now they aren?t going to address the failure. Us as a people, we need to recognize we?ve all failed and make it right, not ?Let?s just move on from this failure.? People shouldn?t do this to people. Nothing could warrant the treatment and death this guy experienced.
A 62-yr-old retiree strapped to a chair and died. I don?t get it.
The wrongful death lawsuit is scheduled for the middle of 2012.

KABUL, Afghanistan ? A suicide bomber struck a crowd of Shiite worshippers who packed a Kabul mosque Tuesday to mark a holy day, killing at least 56 people, and a second bombing in another city killed four more Shiites. They were the first major sectarian assaults since the fall of the Taliban a decade ago.
A third attack, a motorcycle bomb in the southern city of Kandahar, killed one civilian. But police said it did not target Shiites as they commemorated Ashoura, which marks the seventh century death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson Imam Hussein.
Religiously motivated attacks on Shiites are rare in Afghanistan although they are common in neighboring Pakistan.
A man who claimed to be from Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, one of Pakistan's most ruthless Sunni militant groups which has carried out attacks against Shiite Muslims, called various media outlets in Pakistan to claim responsibility for the bombing in Kabul, which was reminiscent of the wave of sectarian attacks that shook Iraq during the height of the war there. The validity of the claims could not be determined.
The bomber blew himself up in a crowd of men, women and children gathered outside the Abul Fazl shrine. Mahood Khan, who is in charge of the shrine near the presidential palace, said the explosion occurred just outside a packed courtyard where dozens of worshippers were lined up as they filed in and out of the crowded building.
Some men were beating themselves in mourning, an Ashoura tradition, and food was being distributed.
"It was a very powerful blast," Khan said. "The food was everywhere. It was out of control. Everyone was crying, shouting. It is a disaster."
Bodies of the dead lay on top of one another where they fell. Survivors with blood-smeared faces cried amid the chaos. A few minutes after the blast, bodies could be seen loaded into the trunks of cars while wounded were led away by friends and relatives. Survivors wept in the streets.
Mustafa, a shopkeeper, said he and his mother were delivering food to the worshippers when the blast occurred. Two groups of 150 to 200 people from Kabul had just prayed at the shrine and left.
Another group of more than 100 from Logar province was entering when the explosion occurred. He said the suicide bomber was at the end of the line of worshippers from Logar when he blew himself up near one of the gates to the shrine.
"It was very loud. My ears went deaf and I was blown 3 meters (yards)," said Mustafa, who uses only one name. "There was smoke and red blood on the floor of the shrine. There were people lying everywhere."
The shrine's loudspeaker continued to blast a recitation of the Quran as ambulances carried bodies and wounded away. Women stood outside wailing and holding crying children.
The Public Health Ministry said 56 were killed ? including two women and four children. Sayed Kabir Amiri, who is in charge of Kabul hospitals said more than 160 were wounded. It was the single deadliest attack in the Afghan capital in more than three years.
Four other Shiites were killed in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. A bomb strapped to a bicycle exploded as a convoy of Afghan Shiites was driving down the road, shouting slogans for Ashoura. Health Ministry spokesman Sakhi Kargar gave the death toll and said 21 people were wounded.
The Interior Ministry said police defused another bomb planted in Mazar-i-Sharif near the one that blew up.
The Ministry of Interior blamed the Taliban and "terrorists" for the attacks.
The Taliban strongly condemned the attacks and said they deeply regretted that innocent Afghans were killed and wounded.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, speaking at a news conference after meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, said the attack was unprecedented in scope. He said it was "the first time that on such an important religious day in Afghanistan terrorism of that horrible nature is taking place." Karzai cut short his visit to Europe to return to Kabul. He canceled his trip to Britain where he was to meet Prime Minister David Cameron, Prince Charles and deliver a speech to the London School of Economics, British officials said.
Mohammad Bakir Shaikzada, the top Shiite cleric in Kabul, said he could not remember a similar attack having taken place on such a scale.
"This is a crime against Muslims during the holy day of Ashoura. We Muslims will never forget these attacks. It is the enemy of the Muslims who are carrying them out," he said, declining to place blame.
Shiites make up about 20 percent of Afghanistan's 30 million people, most of them ethnic Hazaras. Although thousands of Hazaras were massacred by the Taliban during fighting in the 1990s, Afghan insurgents ? nearly all of them Sunnis ? in recent years have focused their attacks primarily on U.S.-led NATO troops and Afghan security forces.
It was unclear whether Tuesday's attacks mark a change in Afghan Taliban strategy or were carried out by al-Qaida or another group based in Pakistan, where Sunni attacks on Shiites are common. Hard-line Sunnis consider Shiites nonbelievers because their customs and traditions differ from the majority sect.
In neighboring Pakistan, Sunni militants with links to al-Qaida and the Taliban have carried out scores of bombings and shootings across Pakistan against minority Shiites. One of the deadliest groups has been the Punjab-based Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which also claimed responsibility for gunning down 26 Shiites this summer riding in a bus through southwestern Baluchistan province.
Like al-Qaida, the Taliban and other Sunni extremist groups, Lashkar it regards Shiite Muslims as nonbelievers and potential targets for attack.
Pakistan is a majority Sunni state, with Shiites making up about 15 percent of the 180 million population. Most Sunnis and Shiites live together peacefully, but tensions have existed for decades.
The last incident of violence between Shiites and Sunnis following the U.S. invasion 10 years ago occurred in early 2006, during Ashoura commemorations in the western city of Herat. During those riots, blamed on Islamic extremists, five people were killed and more than 50 injured.
The Kabul shrine attacked is close to the palace where Karzai lives and who is in Europe to attend an international conference on Afghanistan. It is named after Abul Fazl, who was an adviser to a 14th century Mogul emperor. The shrine and its blue minaret is one of Kabul's better known shrines. It is located in Murad Khane area near the Kabul river, a district that has been listed by the World Monuments Fund as one of its 100 most endangered sites of cultural heritage.

2 WHOI scientists receive medals from the American Geophysical Union Public release date: 6-Dec-2011 [ | E-mail | Share ]
Contact: WHOI Media Relations media@whoi.edu 508-289-3340 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution scientists Henry Dick, a geologist, and Joseph Pedlosky, a physical oceanographer, have been selected to receive two of the American Geophysical Union's prestigious medals this year. The awards will be given at an honors ceremony on December 7 in San Francisco at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, the largest worldwide conference in the geophysical sciences, attracting nearly 20,000 Earth and space scientists, educators, students, and policy makers.
WHOI Senior Scientist Henry Dick has been selected to be the 2011 American Geophysical Union Harry H. Hess Medalist for "outstanding achievements in research of the constitution and evolution of Earth and other planets." Established in 1984, the Hess Medal is named in honor of Harry H. Hess, who made many contributions to geology, mineralogy, and geophysics.
Dick was cited for "his many discoveries, creative efforts and deep insights that have led to the modern understanding of the mantle melting and ocean crust formation along the global ocean ridges."
Among the many accomplishments that Dick was cited for are: "correctly conclud[ing] the significance of low-angle normal faults in exposing mantle peridotites and lower crust gabbros at slow-spreading ridges fundamental to the discovery and understanding of oceanic core complexes" and for recognizing "'ultraslow-spreading class of ocean ridges' that differ from the familiar fast- and slow-spreading ridges, and offer new challenges for understanding how ocean ridges work." Among his discoveries was that the Earth's crust is not a continuous shell around the Earth, but that beneath large areas of the Atlantic, Indian and Arctic Oceans is absent and the deeper layer of the Earth, the mantle is exposed directly on the ocean floor.
Dick began work at WHOI as a post-doctoral investigator in 1975, working as part of project FAMOUS, the first international collaboration to explore the Mid-Ocean Ridge. He was hired onto the scientific staff in 1976, and was appointed a senior scientist in 1990. Dick is a fellow of the Geological Society of America and of the American Geophysical Union.
WHOI Scientist Emeritus Joe Pedlosky of the Physical Oceanography department has been selected the 2011 Maurice Ewing Medalist "for significant original contributions to the scientific understanding of the processes in the ocean" and for "outstanding service to the marine sciences." Established in 1974 and jointly sponsored with the United States Navy, the Ewing Medal is named in honor of Maurice Ewing, who made significant contributions to deep-sea exploration.
The citation letter accompanying Pedlosky's nomination states: "He has made fundamental contributions to the theories of ocean circulation and has defined the field of geophysical fluid dynamics." Among his contributions are "developing the theory for the ventilated thermocline, laying a foundation to the modern dynamics of ocean general circulation." He is also credited with presenting "the first deductive model of nonlinear baroclinic instability without friction and the first deductive model demonstrating the chaotic behavior of weakly nonlinear instabilities." These models help describe how physical forces like wind on the ocean or the uneven heating and cooling of the ocean by the sun can lead to disturbances in, for example, the Gulf Stream of the atmospheric Jet Stream, that bring us our weather or result in eddies and meanders in the ocean. The letter also notes "his passion and devotion to education," stating Pedlosky "has been a role model for educators through his exceptional lecturing and mentoring abilities."
Pedlosky first came to WHOI in 1977 as a guest investigator on a Guggenheim fellowship and was appointed a senior scientist in the Physical Oceanography department in 1979. Pedlosky has numerous prestigious awards and memberships, including the Meisinger Award and Sverdrup Gold Medal of American Meteorological Society, fellow of the American Geophysical Union, member of National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Foreign Member of Earth & Cosmic Sciences Section of Academia Europaea.
