Webmasters Note: This space will (from May,
2009 forward) be called The BAS Message, since it may be written by someone other
than the President of the BAS. Barry

3. Neutrik now has a single XLR connector with selectable
gender. "Select male or female gender simply by sliding nickel/silver housing
back and forth".
See the Neutrik page HERE.
Webmaster's note: Now if they put
a pair of switches in them, I could make a phase inverter AND a ground lift adapter
all-in-one!! Barry
4. Simon Glik was stopped for a traffic violation and used
his cellphone to record the event. He was arrested because of that. His lawyer,
Howard Friedman, writes in the Boston globe that The Globe refers to Massachusetts
as a 'two party consent' state. This is only true for secret recording. However
consent is not required for openly recording sound. The Supreme Judicial Court
made clear in 2001 in the case of Commmonwealth v. Hyde that "holding a recorder
in plain sight would not violate the law. Since Glik's cellphone was in plain
sight, he did not violate the stature and should never have been arrested. Boston
