Comments about Dtar Mama Bear Digital Acoustic Guitar Preamp:
over all this is an expensive piece of gear, but i have found that for my needs it has fit perfectly in my rig and made my sound studio class, live, so it is a tremendous value in my book, sound guys aw at the nautural acoustic tone and ease of use. this is very very recomended, i was hesitant too, but you dont need to be, the mama bear will elivate your playing and thats priceless! the loop thing is something to think about though....
this is not really a feature packed piece of gear, but the lack of lots of different controls and features 100% makes up for it in golden acoustic tone. i use a pretty high end rig running an lr baggs pre amp before this pre amp then through a marshall as100d, i had a great acoustic sound before so i was hesitant if it would help, but i needent worry, this is a premier piece of equipment and they did there research when making this! this pre amp has the amazing abilty to make your guitar touch sensitive like playing your acoustic only louder or even as sensitive as an electric guitar, its hard to explain but, what it seems to do is eliminate your pickup and replace it with a the AGE tech its almost exaclty like an awesome miked sound which is amazing, it makes you want to play more and more. D tar really has something here. i use an lr baggs element pickup which has a nice warm sound already and i use setting 7 eq. but this thing is so worth it there arent many reviews for this which boggles my mind for the power and versatliy of this pre amp. the guitar emulation technology really does work golden wonders for your acoustic tone, i have found a fabulous tone for every one of the 16 settings it has, and there are even some different eq settings that are pretty cool to play with to, very versatile.
rock solid piece of equipment with a solid steel chasse, i think the knobs could be sturdier and a little bigger and easier to read but o well. its really really really hard to use a looper with this because of all the rich overtones and airyness it prduces it makes your loops sound muddy and muffled. so now i have to use bypass and use my original signal to loop to not get mud
This little thing is exceptional. Good quality piece of equipment. It has an amazing ability of making your guitar sound like you are playing into a mic. Have to hear it to believe it. Warms the signal up and gives it a more natural sound, like you would hear with your ears and cuts any quack from your pick up.One thing to mention though is that this is specifically meant for piezo type pick-up's. So if you any kind of piezo pick-up get it. Modeling works very well with that type of pick-up. I personally play an Avalon with an i-beam, which already has a pretty warm sound anyways. The coolest thing was that while I could not completely dial in every emulation Mama offers, I was able to just close my eyes, turn knobs and get the ABSOLUTE BEST acoustic sound out of my guiar I have ever heard. It still sounds like my guitar which I want, but really brings it to life.Run one of these things through a preamp with a compressor and eq active on it, bare-none the best acoustic sound I have ever heard through speakers. And set-up is simple...Either way, as an emulator or transparent preamp you've gotta get this thing!!! Don't miss out, save up for it and enjoy.

At Southern Methodist University, the philosophical basis for our undergraduate curriculum is our steadfast belief that the liberal arts are central to the goals of higher education. The Master Plan of 1963 articulated the University's educational commitment in this way:
"The essence of the educational philosophy which undergirds the Master Plan is that professional studies must rise from the solid foundation of a basic liberal education. The aim of this University, in other words, is to educate its students, as worthy human beings and as citizens, first, and as teachers, lawyers, ministers, research scientists, businessmen, engineers, and so on, second."
To realize this commitment, the SMU faculty have determined that all undergraduates, regardless of major, will complete a program of study that emphasizes the values of what historically has been known as a liberal education, namely, learning to read, write and think critically while acquiring a basic understanding of human society in all its dimensions.
Hosted by Dedman College on behalf of undergraduate curricula in all of the schools, the courses and experiences included in this program of study provide a solid and broad education that will equip students to compete and adapt to the rapidly changing contemporary world and complement more focused study in the major.
Beginning in
the 2012-13 academic year all
first-time, first-year undergraduates
will complete all requirements of the
University Curriculum
Fall 2014 UC Course Offerings
UC Petition Forms (under revision contact email@example.com)

Bollywood isn't only about mega releases. Spending cash does not make a good film. This fact has been confirmed with some recent small budget films, which have done exceptionally well at the Box Office. Success of low budget films depends on the genre, premise, story, and financing of the film, as well as the actors and their performances. Here's our Top 10 list of low budget films which have given big budget movies a run for their money.
Made on a shoestring budget of Rs. 8 crore, 'Kahaani' went to rake Rs. 78 crores at the Box Office. Brilliantly handled by director Sujay Ghosh and stupendous performance by Vidya Balan, 'Kahaani' is an intelligent thriller which explores themes of feminism and motherhood in a predominantly male-dominated Indian society.
After 'Haasil' director Tigmanshu Dhulia joined hands with Irrfan Khan once again for 'Paan Singh Tomar' – the biopic which hit the bulls eye at the BO. Made on a budget of a little over Rs. 5 crore, the movie turned into a profit within the first week. PST succeeded purely on word of mouth marketing.
Though not a major hit at the Bollywood Box Office, Vikramaditya Motwane's 'Udaan' was critically acclaimed film and was officially selected to compete in the Un Certain Regard (A Certain Glance) category at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. The film went on to prove that you don't need stacks of cash or A-listers from B'wood to make a smart film; you just need an intelligent script.
Declared an average grosser at the Box Office, 'Tere Bin Laden' was made at a budget of Rs. 5.8 crore and it went on to garner Rs. 15 crore net. The film didn't boost any mega star cast, but it won audience's heart by its smart script and some smart acting by debutant actors Pradhuman Singh and Pakistani actor Ali Zafar. The film was a spoof on Osama Bin Laden, as well as a comic satire on America`s war against terror and the realities of the post-9/11 world.
Peepli Live was made at a budget of Rs. 10 crore and owing to its raw nature and intelligent adoption of dark humour satire, it managed to jolt the conscience of audience and raked in Rs. 29 crores. And since the film nurtured and developed under Aamir Khan, it reportedly recovered its cost well before its release.
This is another small film with a big idea. Made on a humble budget of Rs 3 crore, 'Phas Gaye Re Obama' offered the much-needed comic relief with well-sketched out (and multiple) characters. The film, which got appreciated by every critic in the town, was set against the backdrop of global recession that originated in USA.
This performance driven new age cinema was again made on a tight budget of Rs 10 crore, but it won rave reviews from the critics. With many calling it 'poetry on canvas', 'Dhobi Ghat', some say is amongst the most significant films in the history of Bollywood. Coming from Aamir Khan's production, the perfectionist Khan proved with 'Dhobi Ghat' that even a class-appealing low budget film can be turned into a profitable venture.
Tanu weds Manu was funny, light romantic comedy with the right amount of drama, action and one-liners. Even though the audience had a clear idea on how the movie will end, it still kept the audience engrossed, entertained and amused for the entire running time. As the budget of 'Tanu Weds Manu' was Rs. 11 crore and the first week's share was about Rs. 10 crore, the producers and distributors of the film started making profits from the second week itself. The satellite rights of the film were also sold at an attractive price of Rs. 7.5 crore.
Made at just Rs. 9 crore, NOKJ garnered Rs. 49 crore at the BO. Inspired by the real life murder of Jessica Lal, 'No One Killed Jessica' received positive reviews from critics. The film recovered its cost before release through satellite and music rights.
A small budget film by Luv Ranjan, Pyaar Ka Punchnama' is a tale about a three young men who are frustrated with their women that results in quite a few `naughty situations`. 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' was a moderate-budget film but its Box Office prospects turned out bright.

Sergio Kindle, the Ravens' first pick in the second round last April, suffered a head injury in a house he was visiting Thursday night in Austin, Texas. It is believed that Kindle fell down two flights of stairs. Kindle is stable, being treated and observed.

Three stars as written since it is clearly lacking in much seasoning, however, with a little tweaking this is easily a five star dish. I sauteed the mushrooms and onion first (I used shallots and added a couple shots of Worcestershire sauce) then removed that from the pan and set it aside while I cooked the chicken (I used turkey cutlets) which I had dredged in flour before sauteeing. Once nicely browned I removed the meat and deglazed the pan with all those wonderful browned bits with chicken broth and white wine. I let that reduce to about half its volume, then swirled in a few pats of butter. I served the cutlets over fresh sauteed spinach, topped them with the mushroom/shallot mixture, then poured that luscious sauce over it all. Loved it.
Will definitely make this again. Was very please with how quick & easy it was to make. Used bottled crushed garlic on chicken and in sauce and used frozen mushrooms(all I had). Will use a larger "sweet" onion and fresh wild mushrooms next time. Also added a couple of generous glugs of a dry white wine during cooking and before serving also added a bit more butter and let sauce reduce. Served with Fettuccine Florentine, mixed spring greens and garlic rolls.
I thought this recipe was fantastic as written. Thank you Marlana.

By Gary Fauber
Assistant Sports Editor
In the syndicated sitcom "The King of Queens," lead character Doug Heffernan once tried his hand at semi-pro football. He didn't last a full game before he realized his body couldn't handle the beating like it could when he was in high school, and he ran off the field like a scalded dog.
Closer to home — and in real life — a local group of former gridiron stars are dabbling in the sport, but with much more success.
The Beckley Panthers are two games into what coach Donald Barnett considers their first real season. They are 1-1, dropping their season opener with the West Virginia Storm in Summersville, then beating the Williamson-based West Virginia Miners 34-0 last Saturday.
"We had a team last year but it was rinky-dink," Barnett said. "We played a couple of games and folded. Now we've got a different group of guys playing this time. Last year I think some people were looking to make some quick dollars and get out of the way.
"This year we are trying to recruit some younger guys and let the older guys get everything organized and started for a year or two, then get out of the way so people can have something to watch."
The Panthers compete in the nine-team Imperial Football League, which is based in southwestern Virginia. The league is divided into two conferences — Appalachian, which includes the Panthers, and Southern. Teams from West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina and South Carolina comprise the league.
Four more teams will be added in 2014.
Beckley, which had 10 games scheduled but lost one after a team folded, plays its home games at Independence High's George D. Covey Field.
The regular season will conclude June 8, with the playoffs starting June 15.
The Imperial Bowl will be played June 29 in Bristol, Va.
"We started (practicing) in January, around the first of the year, and we would have 10 to 15 players show up," Barnett said. "As time has passed, we now have 25 to 30, which really makes a difference."
Barnett, 37, not only coaches the team but also plays. He is a backup quarterback and defensive back.
"It's a little different," Barnett said. "It's neat to have the experience as a coach. But at 37, the wheels are not as quick as they used to be."
Barnett is joined by the likes of former Marsh Fork player Steve Beller, who is 39, and Shady Spring alumnus Travis Crook, 34.
The Panthers also have a unique pairing of 2009 Independence graduate Jake Justice and his father, Doug, 42.
"They are probably the only father-son combination in football anywhere in America," Barnett said.
Other players include Independence alumus Stephen McBride, quarterback Jeff Edwards (Mount Hope), Jimmy Adkins and Timmy Wynes (Summers County) and Daniel Bailey (Liberty).
Barnett said the team is looking for alumni from high schools from all over the area.
"We have been all over Facebook and the internet to get more interest," he said. "We're reaching out to guys from Wyoming East and PikeView and any other schools that could help out."
The Panthers' next game is set for Saturday against the Lecher Wolves in Fleming-Neon, Ky. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Anyone interested in trying out can contact Barnett at 304-763-4089, or visit the team's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/beckleypanthers.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- An architect involved in a fatal building demolition in Philadelphia is refusing to turn over documents sought by the Department of Labor.
A lawyer for Plato Marinakos cites his client's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, saying he "reasonably" fears a pending grand jury investigation.
The June 5 collapse of a towering brick wall being demolished killed six people at an adjacent thrift store.
Marinakos is due in federal court Wednesday over his stalemate with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The OSHA subpoena seeks demolition and safety plans, photographs and correspondence with demolition contractor Griffin Campbell.
Marinakos has turned over 116 pages of material, but says the rest is protected.
Demolition subcontractor Sean Benschop is charged with six counts of involuntary manslaughter. Several civil lawsuits have also been filed.

668: Pandora
Title text: What? Oh, no, the 'Enchanted' soundtrack was just playing because Pandora's algorithms are terrible. [silence] ... (quietly) That's how you knooooooow...
[edit] Explanation
Pandora (also known as Pandora Internet Radio) is a website which automatically plays songs of a certain genre based upon the user's previous musical selections. Unlike normal radio, it adapts itself to each individual user's preferences. While possible to skip a song in Pandora, it is not possible to choose songs. While Pandora will nearly always play music that one likes, it does not know when to play certain song over others. This results in embarrassing songs being played with equal frequency to songs which one would be comfortable listening to with others in the room. However, it feels like these embarrassing songs are played only when another person is in the room.
[edit] Transcript
- [There is a venn diagram of two circles. The left circle is labeled "Music You Like." The right circle is labeled "Deeply Embarrassing Music." The segment on the left is labeled "What Pandora Plays," and the intersection is labeled "What Pandora Plays If Anyone Is Around."]

Alaska-Shopping Cart DUI
AIRBANKS, Alaska Police arrested an Alaska man who they say was driving a motorized shopping cart while drunk and in possession of stolen cookies and cake mix.
Merrill K. Moses, 63, was arraigned this week in Fairbanks on charges of drunken driving, shoplifting and refusing to take an official sobriety test. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 5, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Saturday.
A grocery store employee called police Wednesday night after seeing Moses drive into parking lot traffic. The employee was worried that Moses would collide with a car.
"When an officer arrived, a store employee was holding onto the handlebars of the cart to keep the suspect from driving any further," said Sgt. Bruce Barnette at the Fairbanks Police Department.
Another employee told police that drinking while driving a motorized shopping cart has been a regular problem for Moses. He has previously tried to run over employees who attempted to stop him, police were told. And every time they confront him, Moses is drunk.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
The first African to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, as well as a political activist of prodigious energies, Wole Soyinka now follows his modern classic Ake: The Years of Childhood with an equally important chronicle of his turbulent life as an adult in (and in exile from) his beloved, beleaguered homeland.
In the tough, humane, and lyrical language that has typified his plays and novels, Soyinka captures the indomitable spirit of Nigeria itself by bringing to life the friends and family who bolstered and inspired him, and by describing the pioneering theater works that defied censure and tradition. Soyinka not only recounts his exile and the terrible reign of General Sani Abacha, but shares vivid memories and playful anecdotesincluding his improbable friendship with a prominent Nigerian businessman and the time he smuggled a frozen wildcat into America so that his students could experience a proper Nigerian barbecue.
More than a major figure in the world of literature, Wole Soyinka is a courageous voice for human rights, democracy, and freedom. You Must Set Forth at Dawn is an intimate chronicle of his thrilling public life, a meditation on justice and tyranny, and a mesmerizing testament to a ravaged yet hopeful land.
IBAFor Those Who Went Before
I hesitate a moment to check if it is truly a living me. Perhaps I am just a disembodied self usurping my body, strapped into a business-class seat in the plane, being borne to my designated burial groundthe cactus patch on the grounds of my home in Abeokuta, a mere hours escape by road from the raucous heart of Lagos. Perhaps I am not really within the cabin of the plane at all but lying in a coffin with the luggage, disguised as an innocent box to fool the superstitious, while my ghost persists in occupying a seat whose contours have grown familiar through five years of a restless exile that began in 1994. For my mind chooses this moment to travel twelve years backward when, drained of all emotion, I accom- panied the body of my friend Femi Johnson from Wiesbaden in Germany, bringing him home in defiance of the unfathomable conspiracy to leave him in that foreign land like a stray without ties of family and friends. And the...
Soyinka, who describes himself as a "closet glutton for tranquility", has lived a life that is intricately linked with the history of Nigeria and therefore has been anything but tranquil. As such You Must Set Forth At Dawn is first and foremost a political memoir that also serves as a political history of contemporary Nigeria.

Peter Gleick, Subscriber
CEO Pacific Institute, MacArthur Fellow, National Academy of Sciences
The Wall Street Journal's editorial board has long been understood to be not only antagonistic to the facts of climate science, but hostile. But in a remarkable example of their unabashed bias, on Friday they published an opinion piece that not only repeats many of the flawed and misleading arguments about climate science, but purports to be of special significance because it was signed by 16 "scientists."
Serious doubt has been cast on the actual expertise on climate science of the signers and on the accuracy of the content, here and elsewhere, and the strawman arguments and technical flaws of their opinion piece are evident to anyone actually versed in the scientific debate. For example, their op-ed has fundamental errors about recent actual temperatures, they use false/strawman arguments that climate scientists are saying climate change "will destroy civilization," they launch ad hominem attack on particular climate scientists using out-of-context quotes, and so on. Formal responses are in the works, and will be available from a variety of groups in the next day or so. [Just as an example, as pointed out here previously, and at the Union of Concerned Scientists: the authors claim there has been a "lack of warming" for 10 years. The reality? 2011 was the 35th year in a row in which global temperatures were above the historical average and 2010 and 2005 were the warmest years on record.]
But the most amazing and telling evidence of the bias of the Wall Street Journal in this field is the fact that 255 members of the United States National Academy of Sciences wrote a comparable (but scientifically accurate) essay on the realities of climate change and on the need for improved and serious public debate around the issue, offered it to the Wall Street Journal, and were turned down. The National Academy of Sciences is the nation's pre-eminent independent scientific organizations. Its members are among the most respected in the world in their fields. Yet the Journal wouldn't publish this letter, from more than 15 times as many top scientists. Instead they chose to publish an error-filled and misleading piece on climate because some so-called experts aligned with their bias signed it. This may be good politics for them, but it is bad science and it is bad for the nation.
Science magazine – perhaps the nation's most important journal on scientific issues – published the letter from the NAS members after the Journal turned it down.
Do you have an open mind? Read both, side by side. And understand that every national academy of sciences on the planet agrees with the reality and seriousness of human caused climate change.
The letter signed by 255 National Academy of Sciences members, from Science magazine.
The letter signed by 16 "scientists" in the Wall Street Journal.
Hello Mr. Gleick,
You attempt to refute the statement, "No significant warming in 10 years," by saying that the last 35 years have been above the historical average. Only in your bizarre world would such a statement count as a refutation. If all those successive years furnished temperatures trending upwards, you would be correct. But they have not shown successive increases. They have remained comparatively flat.
It is absurd that one would attempt to question a result by pointing to an irrelevant fact. Where's your mind, Peter. I can hardly wait for the rest of the refutations to come. It should rival as entertainment Tosh.O!
No doubt from the Little Ice Age temperatures these days are higher than in the past. But they are not as high as they were during the Medieval Warming Period some 1000 years ago.
Economart, the Wall Street Journal forgot to mention the effects of the Sun and volcanoes and cosmic rays and shifting geomagnetic forces and HAARP and the cosmological constant and I just don't know what all!
I mean, everyone knows it's cooling! Geez!
Hello Peter,
No. You're wrong, as usual.
Here is an article on the infamous Phil Jones interview with the BBC:
He further admitted that in the last 15 years there had been no 'statistically significant' warming, although he argued this was a blip rather than the long-term trend.
And he said that the debate over whether the world could have been even warmer than now during the medieval period, when there is evidence of high temperatures in northern countries, was far from settled.

What does your own graph show with the 5 year running mean?
And here is an article on flat temperatures:
UAH shows a slightly positive anomaly trend of 0.028°C for the last ten years.
RSS shows a slight negative anomaly trend of -0.01°C for the 10 year period. This may have to do with the fact that RSS reported an anomaly for January 2008 that was twice the size than what UAH reported (-0.08 for RSS, -0.044 for UAH) owing to a different methodology of the satellite data preparation.
The HadCRUT land-ocean global anomaly data shows a slight trend of 0.017°C for the last ten years. Surprisingly, it is lower than the trend of 0.028°C for the UAH satellite data.
And finally we have the NASA GISS land-ocean anomaly data showing a ten year trend of 0.151°C, which is about 5 times larger than the largest of the three metrics above, which is UAH at 0.028°C /ten years.
Given some of the recent issues Steve McIntyre has brought up with missing data at NASA GISS, it also makes me wonder if the GISS dataset is as globally representative as the other three.
UPDATE: The answer as to why the GISS data diverges so much may be found in the 2005 summary on the GISTEMP website, (h/t Barry H.) Here is a relevant excerpt:
Our analysis differs from others by including estimated temperatures up to 1200 km from the nearest measurement station (7). The resulting spatial extrapolations and interpolations are accurate for temperature anomalies at seasonal and longer time scales at middle and high latitudes, where the spatial scale of anomalies is set by Rossby waves (7). Thus we believe that the remarkable Arctic warmth of 2005 is real, and the inclusion of estimated arctic temperatures is the primary reason for our rank of 2005 as the warmest year.
I'm not sure the "remarkable Arctic warmth" is real, especially since the disappearance of arctic sea ice during that time has been linked not to warmer temperatures, but to wind patterns by other researchers at NASA. The sea ice "melt" as proxy for increased arctic temperatures doesn't seem to be connected. Further, a NASA satellite AVHRR image shows the high latitudes near the south pole getting colder, except in areas where volcanic activity is known to exist.
With humans flooding the atmosphere with CO2, one would expect to see a steep incline, not a sideways movement.
Facts are facts.
Hello Peter,
Only in your bizarro world, pal!
Here is a fact, just one which point up the profound dishonesty of what you are saying, economart.
You quote: "He further admitted that in the last 15 years there had been no 'statistically significant' warming, although he argued this was a blip rather than the long-term trend."
First, this doesn't mean there wasn't a positive trend. There WAS a positive trend, and he made that clear. What he also made clear, and has been ignored/not quoted, was not that there was a flat trend and that this was "just a blip" — he actually said that the upward trend during this period -could be- "just a blip", and they had to wait another year for it to be deemed a real trend. That is the point: that "statistical significance" refers to whether or not the upward trend could have been distinguished, at that point, as a legitimate trend or whether it still could, at that point, simply be part of the up-and-down noise of a noisy system.
The starting date that he was asked about was actually chosen deliberately by the interviewer for just that reason — because it is a noisy system, trends are calculated on time periods of 15+ years, and as long as the time period in question is *just under* 15 years it will not be deemed "statistically significant."
NOW, of course, it has been more than 15 years since the start point that he was asked about — and the trend has been deemed statistically significant.
I have no reason to believe that you will understand that, but I hope you do. What you are quoting is a nasty bit of sophistry designed to take advantage of the fact that most people don't understand a specific bit of statistics jargon the way that a statistician understands it.
It also plays into why and how the current WSJ opinion piece is so dishonest. They make a big deal out of "no warming in the last 10 years" — because climate IS such a noisy system, with periods years long of strong up and down swings, the best statisticians on the planet deem 10 years too short a time to determine trend. And I know that at least several of the authors of that piece know that fact, which leads me to believe that they have taken a dishonest tack for the sake of a pre-existing belief that "global warming is a hoax." Shame on them, too, for deliberately ignoring scientific practice, and using a deceptive tactic to claim that they are somehow "defending science."
And you are accusing others of "cherry Picking" their facts?
Every argument you have made is supported by cherry picked facts to support your opinion.
The reason so-called climate scientists are so easy to discredit is because they all cherry pick their data to exclude any data that doesn't support their political position.
Man-made climate change is pure politics and has nothing to do with real science. Here's a fact that you cannot ignore without acknowledging that this is all about politics and nothing about science. The quantity of man made CO2 in our environment is scientifically insignificant when compared to the whole. Anyone who denies this is cherry picking their data.
This blanket disqualifying of a source is called cherry picking or censorship, but does not help your thin argument at all.
sidizen, it is a simple, measured fact that CO2 in the atmosphere has gone from 260ppm to 380ppm in 150 years, and it is another simple fact that we know a great deal of it is from fossil fuels because of its isotope. Your ignorance of this does not lend you credibility.

About 140 Niagara County residents on Monday met with local officials from the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for the unveiling of six options for the future of the Robert Moses Parkway.
The Parkway, built a half-century ago, has deteriorated in some spots and become a source of controversy in recent years. Sunday, we wrote about the next step in the process to choose the parkway's future.
Some think the road should be torn up. Others see it as a key link from the Falls to Lewiston and Youngstown. Whatever your preference, you can now see the proposed alternatives in their entirety. Here they are:
Alternative 1: Restore the parkway to its pre-2002, four-lane version.
Alternative 2: Complete and update the current Robert Moses Parkway Pilot Project.
Alternative 3: Redesign Whirlpool Street in Niagara Falls with a continuous park road, curving the street to the lower level.
Alternative 4: Redesign Whirlpool Street, with a segmented park road.
Alternative 5: Redesign Whirlpool Street, with a divided park road.
Alternative 6: Removal of the Robert Moses Parkway stretch.
The alternatives will also be on display through Friday at the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center, 1201 Pine Ave. Niagara Falls, and at Lewiston Village Hall, 145 N. 4th St., from Monday to June 17. Questions will be taken from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at those sites on those days.
Written comment sheets can be found here and submitted to the Niagara Gorge Corridor Project, c/o Parsons, 40 La Riviere Dr. Suite 350, Buffalo, N.Y. 14202.
Feel free to leave your comment on my story from today's paper. Which option do you feel most benefits the Niagara region?

I built another simple game prototype using Crafty. My goals when building this prototype were:
- Gain more familiarity with Crafty in the lead up to Ludum Dare
- Test out animations
- Load animations from TexturePacker output
- Test touch input for mobile devices
- Test cross browser viability
The prototype was a success in regards to all the goals above, but I think the best thing to come out of the prototype was a pile of notes on the differences between Crafty and cocos2d. I'll share some of them here.
Transitioning From Cocos2d
When you spend enough time with a particular framework you start to think in its terms. Here are a few points that will give a head start someone moving from cocos2d to Crafty:
Origin: The origin is in the top-left instead of the bottom-left. This should be familiar to anyone used to web development.
Anchor Points: The anchor point is in the top-left of a sprite, not at its center. The anchor point is not adjustable. This bothered me enough that I whipped up a little component that adds an adjustable anchor point. There might be a better way to do this, but here is the code I used:
Asset Pipeline: If you use cocos2d, then you likely use TexturePacker (and if not, what is wrong with you?). You can continue using TexturePacker with Crafty by changing the data format of the output from 'cocos2d' to 'JSON'. I recommend that you also disable 'Allow Rotation' and 'Trim'.
Flipping: 2D objects have a flip method but once an object is flipped you can't unflip it. I created another component that provides flipX and flipY methods that can be used to flip a sprite back and forth:
Scaling: I didn't see any methods or properties for scaling a sprite in the documentation or the source. I may write a component and post it in a future post.
Tags: Tags are a great way to attach extra information to cocos2d nodes without much hassle. Onlarger projects you should probably create components that properly incapsulate the data that you represent with tags, but for a quick prototype tags are priceless. Here is a component for adding tags:
Gameloop: Most cocos2d games have a gameloop in the form of a scheduled update or step function. To emulate that pattern in Crafty you can use the EnterFrame event. EnterFrame does not pass the time since the last event, so you will need to jury rig your own step event:
Aside: Touch Input
Crafty will treat taps as mouse clicks but the event handling code does not properly handle all touch events. This bit of code does convert touch events to mouse events:
BUT touch events have different data than mouse events. This conversion is not enough for touch events (in particular touchmove) in Safari. This also ignores the fact that multiple touches can be passed in a single event.
I added a quick hack so that single touches would work as expected:
More work is needed to add proper multitouch handling.
The Prototype
The prototype feels like it could be a fun little game after a serious round of polishing. Caveat: I didn't test this on a wide array of platforms so it may explode on you. And without further ado:
Your browser does not support iframes.

Friday, April 8
A man is dead from a one car accident near Cismont.
It happened just after 5:00 p.m. Friday, April 8, on Louisa Road/VA-22 near Bridlewood Terrace in eastern Albemarle County.
A witness stated she was driving behind the vehicle and saw it drive off the right side of the road. Once on the scene, Charlottesville Albemarle rescuers found a car lying on its roof in a ditch. A man was also found in the driver's seat. Police believe the man died on impact.
Albemarle County police say the man, 67-year old Harry Sims of Louisa, lost control of his car and over-corrected making the car flip hitting a picket fence and a tree.
This is this the third fatal accident in Albemarle County this week.

Selectmen will meet early next week to review a proposed agreement to sell Powder Ridge to Brownstone Exploration and Discovery Park owner Sean Hayes.
The sales contract will be discussed in executive session during a special meeting planned for Monday at 1 p.m.
Attorneys representing both sides have been working to "fine tune" the contract, according to First Selectman Jon Brayshaw. Hayes agreed to buy the property for $700,000 earlier this year and the Portland businessman has said he in the property to make it viable again.
"As far as I'm concerned, we are proceeding full speed ahead," Hayes said about the negotiations on Wednesday.
Brayshaw told Patch earlier this week that he hoped to schedule a second public hearing on the contract as early as mid-July, followed by a town meeting.
"It's like 90 percent the same as the Alpine [Ridge] deal," Brayshaw said. The final sales agreement will be made available to the public immediately if approved by selectmen, he said.
According to Brayshaw, Hayes is putting together a powerpoint presentation to share his vision of the property with residents during the public hearing. Ultimately, it will be up to residents to vote on whether or not to sell the property to Hayes.
While there is still plenty of work ahead for Hayes to restore the property, Brayshaw said he believes residents are eager to get the deal done.
"People that are wanting to vote, they know what they're going to vote," he said. "They knew what they were going to vote six months ago."

I'm more interested to see if he's finally learned to stop both pre & under rotating his triple axels...
Generally I do think it's highly unlikely for someone to come out after a long layoff and be landing jumps they didn't land consistently in their prime. I don't think Shen & Zhao upgraded their throws or sbs jumps in 2010, and Gordeeva & Grinkov did not do a triple toe in 1994 (which they had been inconsistent with until their retirement in 1990). For the same reasons, I don't expect Weir or Lysacek to start landing consistent quads in both programs now, nor for Plushenko to have a consistent quad sal, which he has been trying out.
^^ Hmmm, so you need an interpreter? Does that mean you haven't mastered the ability to be clear and say what you mean the first time!? Tsk, tsk.
In any case, no matter how wonky Lysacek's 3-axels usually are, the times he was successful landing quads, he looked pretty d**n good doing them, at least to my eyes.

Evan Lysacek will likely do the US Intl in Salt Lake Sept. 12-15 as his comeback competition and warmup for Skate America
Glad to hear this.

Evan Lysacek plans to kick off his Olympic season at the senior B event in Salt Lake City this fall. Seems like an eternity since we last saw him in a competitive arena.
For Evan fans what do you think he would be happy with this season. I think making the U.S Olympic team and coming top 6 at the Games would be a great result but I am wondering what you think Evan would be happy with.
Evan would be ectastic with a top 5 at the Games, and moderately happy with a top 8. I am pretty sure even he knows a medal is a huge long shot. A bronze would be a bigger thrill for him than his 2010 gold.
Making the team would be a relief as even that isnt certain if he returns.
I think that if he competes in Sochi and skates his best, he has every reason to feel happy (what ever the result).
i can see evan making the team.
i can see max and evan making the team.
as far as other men skaters i think, richard, ross, jeremy, joshua , jason, alexander johnson, have a shot. brandon mroz. who else can possible compete with brian, patrick, michael, denis, yuzuru as well as the other japanese men of takiko kozuka, tahiko mura, nobunari, florent, maxim, evengy, arthur, konstantin-whichever russian man makes the team, javier, kevin. the
u.s.a man would have to not only beat them indiviual but as well as team. i think some can do some of the indiviual but team no i cant see a few beating them.
making the medal podium for individual isn't going to be easy possible a top 4-5 finish more realistic for u.s.
i think evan has a chance of medaling easier than max despite not skating competivively for 4 years, possible no quad.
if he come back like yuna and skates real well, he is the reigning olympic champ.
i think max will have to beat evan at skate america to have a shot at keeping the u.s. title plus a shot at a medal at theolympics,
the u.s. men are good but not great. they need to be better than than was last year all around in jumps, pcs. can they make it up in a year? who knows, improve that much, who knows.
i hope so.
I think the 2 spots for the U.S men are pretty open. The only one with a firm heads up is Max, but I dont think he is a lock even. It isnt like Wagner, Gold, Davis & White, Chock & Bates, who are all locks or so it sems.
Only lock to make the US team are Davis & White.
I'd say Evan's a lock.(if he makes it to Nationals without injury) After that, one of either Miner or Aaron.
Sasha Cohen was coming off a silver in Torino and she did not qualify for Vancouver. I don't think Evan is a lock. We haven't seen him since 2010, who knows...

Brown bottle into pilsner glass. No BB date.
A: Lightly golden brightish yellow with a good finger of jagged, well lasting head. Decent lacing. Carbonation seems to lesson quite a bit after a couple minutes.
S: Definite bready malts with a spicy note that I attribute to the hops but maybe sort of toasty too.
T: Much like the smell but the spicy hop character is much more fleshed out. The heavy bread/toast flavor has not died out though, creating a balance that I find both unusual and pleasant. There is a bottom note that I do not get in the nose, Which I'll say is pleasantly surprising.
M: Light as expected, but surprisingly "there" with a slight bitter oiliness that turns dry at the finish. Carbonation is a bit light but certainly passable.
O: Impressive! This is what I've been enjoying finding in the pilsner style. Straight simple and refreshing. Quite distinctive beer but not much to overcomplicate or muck up the taste. Refreshing as hell but way too good for the lawnmower! BTW: I like this much more than Victory Prima, which I had high hopes for but was a bit disappointed in . Too bad I love this so much cause it's damned expensive at $12/6.

12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pours a clear straw color. The head is about two fingers high, white shade, and very fluffy for the style. Retention is excellent, as well. Add in nice streaks of lacing left on the glass, and you have a genuinely attractive pilsner.
S: The hop/malt balance actually smells bang-on here. Its hop profile is subtle, but there. Ditto the malts: subtle, but there. Notes of sulfur, earth, grass, and bread appear. I'd even call it delicate.
T: There's a very defined grain taste that I pick up as soon as it hits the palate. It's also backed by some sugar cookie flavor. The hop profile here tastes mild: seemingly only there to balance the rich malts out. Actually, no - it coalesces with the malts to create a spicy character.
M: For a pilsner, this is quite soft and creamy. Perhaps, even full bodied. And in spite of that, it's still very easy to drink. It isn't effortless, but it's honestly savorable. Carbonation is just restrained enough.
O: The finesse of this beer surprised me. Blindfold me, and I'd swear it came from Germany - they even spelled pilsner ze German way on the bottle! I don't even remotely care that it doesn't bring the hop assault something like Prima Pils does, either. I'll have to return to this one ASAP, it's that good.

4.49/5 rDev +14.8%
look: 4.25 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
A: Extraordinary clarity. Bright lemon yellow with beautiful white head. Retention above average, and average lacing.
S: Very straightforward and true to style with grainy malts leading the way. Some light spice and floral notes from hops.
M: Underwhelming carbonation actually builds as you let it breathe to become medium-high. Slight astringency in the finish.
T/O: Grains, biscuits, well-attenuated maltiness, but high bitterness. Good hop flavor that can be a little harsh with its straightforwardness-arrowroot, herbal character. One of the more accurate American re-creations of the style. Good lingering bitterness, tart lemon aftertaste. No doubt a pils for those who appreciate Noble hops.

Pours a brilliant lemony straw with a billowing ivory head that lingers.
Floral hops and crackery pilsner malt dominate the aroma. There's a hint of skunk.
Flavor reveals hop bitterness throughout. The base is crackery, dry malt. There's a slight sour/minerally note that is intriguing.
Body and carbonation are moderate. There's a bit of astringency in the finish.
Not a bad example of the style, but the sour character is out of place. Bitterness is certainly dominant.

E85 isn't much better, as the increased demand for corn and other biofuels has made food prices go through the roof. Everywhere I go I hear people complain about the price of milk, as it's costing farmers more to feed their herds of the slaughtered.
Now the government's trying to make these CAFE regulations for every car by 2020 or so, making my shiny new Corvette a naughty toy to have, while everyone else drives the bastard childs of SMART, Renault, Mini Coopers, and other "cars" that I could crush with my thumb. Due largely to global warming (and the fear of no more gas in the next 6 months).
Really, do you think a driver of a Lambo Murcielago LP640 gives a damn how much gas he's wasting? Didn't think so.
(wait's that's not fair-the car's worth at least 250k...)

Ok, Lets Pretend the Senate Bill Becomes Law
by ludwigvan, Thu Dec 24, 2009 at 07:08:21 AM EST
I fully expect that there will be massive changes to the HC bill.
The unfair to 49 states "Nebraska Compromise" is gonna split this bill wide open in the House. With Stupak and his followers refusing to back down, that alone will create an opening for many, many others to demand changes also.
This battle is far from over.
Someone earlier today wrote a snide anti union slur comment to me and laughed at Labor hero and new AFL-CIO President Trumka and dismissed him as a fat white guy with a mustache. This both shocked and disgusted me. What kind of "liberal" would say such a thing?
Let me tell you - unions are mad at this bill and they have a right to be, Just for starts, how can progressives not care that much of the funding for this bill comes from a 40% special tax on good employer provided plans like those provided by organized labor. (and few others these days) I expect the AFL to fight against this attempt to pay for this bill by hurting working families.(Where did Obamas oft repeated promise to tax the super rich to pay for all this go?) And please be sure, there will be other changes introduced, so we dont know whats coming.
I mean the chair of the RULES committee, Congresswoman Slaughter, came out against the bill, and if you dont know how our congress works - let me tell you - thats HUGE. Many house member will demand a public option - understand this battle is not over as yet. So save your champagne for New Years - toasting the passage of this bill is premature. its not passed till - its actually passed - and this hasnt happened yet, so put down your glasses...
But lets pretend this bill will become the law..
We'll still be spending twice the average of OECD countries.
Nothing will be controlling co-pays, deductibles, annual and lifetime caps.
More of us will be insured; more of us will be underinsured.
With mandates to policies that have 60% actuarial values, many of us will still be vulnerable to bankruptcies driven by medical expenses.
The biggest cause of excess expense and gaps in coverage is our crazy quilt of government programs and private for-profit insurance.
A public option to our health care system is the way to bring efficiency and rationality to our health care financing.
Instead this reform strengthens the role of for-profit insurance, which will expand their political heft.
At its core, this is not incremental change, but enshrining the basis of the status quo.
States will even be forbidden to pursue waivers to create alternative funding systems, such as single payer, till 2017.
I'd be delighted that 30 million more of our fellow citizens will have some insurance,but this is not change I can believe in.

The Derive Copy function in Connexions allows you to create a derivative work ("adaptation") that is based on any published module or collection. An adaptation starts with a copy of existing content, to which you make changes and then publish as your own, with proper attribution to the original authors. The creation of adaptations is not a method of collaboration, though it is possible to add the original authors to your new content, should they wish to collaborate with you on your new adaptation.
Adaptations are permitted under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which applies to all Connexions content. When you publish an adaptation, Connexions automatically adds an attribution statement that identifies the original work and its author, which is legally required by the Creative Commons Attribution License.
Some examples of adaptations are:
- Adaptations of others' work: You may wish to create a module or collection that is similar to an existing one, but with some changes. For example, you may find an existing module with excellent explanations that uses an example that won't make sense for your students. You can create a derived copy with a new example. Or perhaps you want to you a module in your collection, but the module contains errors. You contact the original author and suggest corrections. The original author does not respond to your suggestions, so you create a derived copy of the module, insert your changes, and publish the new module.
- Adaptations of your own work: For example, say you are teaching two mathematics courses, but that each course uses a different calculator. You can write modules that show instructions for functions using one of the calculators, and then derive a copy of those modules to show the same functions using the other calculator.
- Translations: Derived copies provide a mechanism whereby content can be translated from one language into another.

I am interested in the origin and evolution of species, and in particular, how different factors may influence patterns of diversification. More specifically I am interested in how we can use molecular methods and molecular systematics/phylogenetics/next-generation sequencing/genomics to address these questions.
Teasing apart the factors that have lead to the prolific diversity of the ants is an active line of research in my lab. From the rise of the flowering plants, associations ants have with other insects and plants, to their microbial community are all potential underlying factors that may have facilitated their ecological dominance in almost all terrestrial ecosystems.
Moreover I am also currently pursuing research focusing on understanding biogeographic patterns and historical processes that have shaped distributions of ants in the lowland tropical rainforests of Australia, within the Neotropics, and between the Nearctic and Neotropics on both the evolutionary and contemporary timescales. Using information about current species distributions, genetic diversity, the impact of invasive ants, evolutionary history, and endosymbiotic bacterial communities I hope understand how past climate change has impacted current species and if this information can better inform us to protect biodiversity.
Ultimately I am interested in teasing apart the evolutionary history of ants and using this information to better understand the broad-scale evolutionary patterns of life.
I also believe strongly in scientific education and outreach. For me this spans teaching university courses to directly supervising students at all educational levels to interacting with other educational programs to working with local school children to creating and being involved in online and digital learning resources for all ages. Engaging students at all educational levels and the public more generally is an important aspect of sharing science for me.
Graduate students interested in joining my lab are encouraged to apply to the University of Chicago's Committee on Evolutionary Biology. There are also postdoctoral, volunteer and intern opportunities in my lab through the Field Museum of Natural History.
