It's Day Two of the Empire State Games, and I'll keep you updated here with my travels and any news.
Later on, Amanda Bremer will have her post going from the media center with more results, and we'll have additional posts through the day from other reporters in the field.
I won't be running around like a lunatic like I did yesterday, but I still have my work cut out for me. I'm going to try and catch up with not only Williamsville North girls hoop coach Clare Crowley, but all four of her players who are involved in the Games. The kicker is that all four are playing different sports, and none of them are playing hoops. Can't make this stuff up.
The girls are Corrine Genovese (softball), Allie Ahern (field hockey), Jenny Piaggione (soccer) and Nikki Attea (volleyball).
9:40 a.m. There's rain coming down and I'll soon find out if any events are delayed. Based on past experience, if it remains a light rain, most, if not all, events will muddle through. Lightning is the big thing that can delay the Games. Knock on wood.
I'm headed to field hockey first to talk to Allie Ahern of Williamsville North. They're playing a 9 a.m. game. After that I'm headed to a media fitness challenge at UB. Insert punchline here.
10:44 a.m. Western field hockey wins, 2-0, over Central to bounce back from an opening loss to always-tough Hudson Valley.
Western got several great saves from Tara Lamberti (Pittsford) in the final minutes as Central kept pushing. Catherine Willard of Pittsford scored on an assist from Shannon Martin of Williamsville 20:31 into the first half while Williamsville's Emily Woods added a goal 24:43 into the second half.
I talked with Allie Ahern, who is verbally committed to Michigan State, about her experience in the Games with all of here Williamsville North crew -- she said she watched Corrine Genovese play softball yesterday and was headed to volleyball to watch Nikki Attea today (I think I'll be at those games as well).
Now it's off to BlueCross BlueShield's fitness challenge. I just saw videographer extraordinare James Acton heading in so I know the competition is big-time. News Reporter Charlie Specht is also in the competition -- which I think is unfair because I think he is a decade younger than me. Here we go -- I've been typing on my laptop in the parking lot by UB Stadium, but I'm heading over. The course, which fans can participate in for prizes tomorrow) is in a field next to the lot -- you can't miss it on your drive to the track venue.
The important thing is that I'm competing for the $500 prize for charity on behalf of the Tom Borrelli Memorial Award and Scholarship Fund.
12:17 p.m. Time to catch up on a few things.
The weather report: Right now there is a very slight drizzle coming down on my car as I type in the parking lot of the Audubon Recreation Complex. The rain had stopped during my top-four fitness challenge finish and before I caught some volleyball. The skies are grey, the air is really thick, but it seems as if the clouds are moving through quite quickly so it appears that while the weather might be a bother, it shouldn't hold anything up.
I saw from a distance that there is softball action going on while Adirondack and Central were on the baseball field.
The women's scholastic volleyball team kept rolling, although they'll be miffed that their perfect preliminary record was spoiled in the third game as Western it won two of three against Hudson Valley. Western had won all of its games Thursday (2-0 matches, 6-0 games) coming into today. It won the first two very handily, 25-26, and 25-10, but fell in the third game (which is played to 15) by a 18-16 score.
Afterwards I talked with Nikki Attea, who will be a junior at Williamsville North this fall. She said she's not surprised coach Crowley made the open team -- coach bangs away at the 6-3 Attea in the post during practice. Attea said she has been on two unofficial recruiting visits for volleyball, to Syracuse and Ohio State.
As far as that fitness challenge obstacle course, Specht came in third -- only less than a second ahead of me, so I got that going for me, which is nice. I'm disappointed my football throws just missed the target -- lost some time there, but not as much as I did maneuvering through the hockey part. Ch. 7 swept the men's and women's categories while Acton was second. Told you he was going to be tough.
The obstacle course is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday -- it's in a great spot, between the track venue and the volleyball venue on their biggest days of competition. Fans can win pretty cool prizes from the Bills and Sabres. Sponsor BlueCross BlueShield said the idea is to have everyone be able to compete at the Empire Games -- which is pretty cool. Should be something companies look at in future games. Good PR, fun for fans and it contributes to the festival-like feel of the Games.
12:25 p.m. Another weather update -- the raindrops are getting heavier, so much so that I think it could put the baseball and softball games in jeopardy of a delay.
12:38 p.m. Just got out of the car to check the status of the games as the rain has subsided. Looks like baseball will be back to action soon -- teams are on the field. I think softball may have played through it. The skies are dark enough to have the lights on at UB Stadium across the street, but there hasn't been any downpour.
1:59 p.m. Quick update: Western softball looks headed to a medal after it won its second game of the day, 7-3, over Hudson Valley. It started with a 10-0 victory over New York City, a 50-pitch, five-inning perfect game by Lindsay (Garbacz) Morris.
Morris then came on in relief after Hudson Valley scored three runs on Chelsea Plimpton to take a 3-2 lead after two. Morris took over with one out in the second and only allowed one baserunner (on a hit) the rest of the day.
Western scored twice in the second and twice again in the fourth to take a 4-3 lead. Rosie Russell served an opposite-field RBI single to left in the fifth for a 5-3 lead and Dana Carter smashed a triple over the right fielder's head to score two in the sixth.
Ashley Bonetto went 4 for 4 with a home run and six RBIs against New York City.
The rain continues its on-again, off-again act -- at the conclusion of Western's softball game about 15 minutes ago, it started coming down steadily, but by the time I made the short drive to the North French Soccer Complex it had stopped.
2:59 p.m. Another trip to see a Will North athlete, another win. The Western women's scholastic soccer team scored all of its goals in a huge second half to beat Long Island, 4-0.
Jenny Griffin (Williamsville) and Jenna Raepple (Grand Island) each scored and had an assist, with Griffin scoring off a Raepple pass in the 50th minute for the first goal. Raepple added a goal in the 75th minute on an assist by Alexis Kroese (Amherst), Kori Thorne (Rochester) put a missile of a direct kick in the top of the net and Griffin set up Carissima Catrona (Williamsville) for the fourth goal in the 90th minute.
In perhaps bigger news, the SUN IS OUT. All of a sudden it's a bright, hot, humid day almost just like yesterday.
I talked with Piaggione and she had some great quotes about coach Crowley, who the players seem to be comfortable calling simply "Clare."
Word from baseball is that Western lost to Long Island, 5-4, and their 4 p.m. game has been pushed back to 6 p.m. due to this morning's showers. Thanks to former Cheektowaga baseball coach Dan Kaplan, who gave me that info at the soccer game.
3:36 p.m. A quick stop in the media room to recharge (batteries and stomach) and I'm heading up to Niagara University to see the women's open team play. I'll see Crowley on the court after seeing her four players in their respective sports.
We've got confirmation that baseball's starting time was moved to 6 p.m.
Be sure to check out Amanda Bremer's blog with updates from the media center.
Update from Marquel Slaughter, who was at soccer to round up all four games: The men's and women's open teams both beat New York City to join the women's scholastic squad at 2-0. The women won by a shootout for the second straight day after a 1-1 tie while the men won, 3-0. The men's scholastic team fell to 0-2 with a 4-1 loss to Long Island.
4:50 p.m. Man, that Grand Island bridge construction is a booger. I got here about 20 minutes ago.
But hello, finally, from Niagara University's Gallagher Center, where Western has a 34-26 halftime lead on New York City. I'm here to talk to Crowley after the game, but this is one loaded team. Some nice team play -- a staple of Bill Agronin-coached teams in the Empire Games -- has helped the hosts to a nice lead.
Rochester's Melissa Alwardt (leading scorer at U. of Rochester) had a nice swat on defense, nailed a baseline jumper and delivered a slick blind pass over her head for a basket for Marisa Clark. Bridgette Burke (Lockport) drained a three.
4:56 p.m. Start of the second half. Western starts Ashley Rath (Victor, sophomore-to-be at College of St. Rose), Megan Shoniker (Rochester, Rhode Island senior-to-be), Alyssa Fenyn (Newark, Virginia Tech sophomore-to-be), Clark (Hilton, Medaille grad and assistant coach) and Liz Flooks (Niagara senior-to-be).
5:44 p.m. We have a final score in women's open basketball: Western 90, New York City 59.
Was doing a lot of planning for tomorrow during the game; sorry about no updates. Off for interviews and back to the media center.
6:37 p.m. Back in the media center. Lots of writing and planning for me now. Stay tuned to Amanda Bremer's blog from the media center (about five tables away from me) for updates through the evening.

Technology reporter Stanley A. Miller II tracks news and trends, from the coolest new gadgets to the latest stuff on the Web
New AT&T Web portal: Watch TV online
AT&T's activated a new entertainment website called U-verse Online that lets subscribers watch more than 100,000 pieces of programming on their computers, including TV shows, movies and sporting events. Customers logging in to the site can also remotely program their home DVRs, set parental controls and personalize their weather, sports, traffic and stock preferences for their U-verse TV "U-bar" feature.
A quick glance at the portal after logging in shows the videos are from Hulu and include a couple commercials when you start one up. And many movies are simply snippets: for example, U-verse Online gives you only a couple of minutes of "Predators 2." You can browse by title, genre, studio or network. I'm not finding anything amazingly innovative here, and the selection of content feels a bit limited. Well, at least AT&T isn't charging extra for it.
And it's another way for TV viewers to get their entertainment on a different kind of screen, a tactic Time Warner is trying with its iPad app that's being met with some resistance from media companies.

Sounds like to start, you need to check the ECU for any error codes. the clunky engine, could be anything really.
Are you referring more to the physical shudder of the engine, or is it just jittery in trying to start?

The amateurish film, "Innocence of Muslims," posted on YouTube, angered many Muslims for its negative portrayal of Muhammad, and more than 50 people, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, have been killed in the resulting violence.
It may be difficult today for Americans to understand how public criticism of a prophet or savior can lead to organized violence and murder. Even President Obama, speaking at the United Nations this week, challenged the world to seek out the root causes of the rage and violence.
But those issues shouldn't be that elusive. The causes go far below the surface of protests, riots and deadly violence, and include religious tolerance and fundamentalism, the continued U.S. meddling in Middle East nations, and free speech.
The evidence of history shows that religions, and especially their fundamentalist adherents, have instigated as much of the world's wars and violence as their secular counterpart, nationalism. When the two forces are linked by extremists, the results can be deadly. The horrific tragedy of 9/11 is a prime example.
But it wasn't too many years ago that Christians in Northern Ireland were killing each other because of their Catholic and Protestant differences. And centuries earlier, you probably wouldn't want to know how many so-called heretics were put to death for alleged blasphemy by Christian authorities.
Anybody can post a video to YouTube, and the fact that enraged Muslims linked it to the United States as a nation and government illustrates that, despite the Arab Spring changes, there continue to be fundamentalist factions that hate the West.
Today, Americans pride themselves for tolerance, though it may seem lacking in our everyday arguing about political and religious issues and especially with people like pastor Terry Jones and his "Burn a Quran Day.'' That's why President Obama, shortly after the Muslim protests over the video began and before they became deadly, reiterated religious tolerance as one of our values and condemned the film.

HARRIS COUNTY -- For the past four years, prosecutor Belinda Smith has headed a special unit in the Harris County District Attorney's Office that solely focused on animal cruelty cases. But now, under Mike Anderson's new regime, that unit has been dismantled, and she's been transferred to a newly formed special victim's bureau.
"The commitment is still there," said Lisa Porter, the division chief of family law, which oversees the bureau. "I love animals."
She says the move was intended to ramp up the prosecution of animal cruelty cases.
"The goal is to cross train and have more prosecutors doing it. That's really the goal," said Porter.
It's something critics say makes no sense, in light of the fact that prosecutors rotate in and out of the bureau every three to six months. With that, Porter told KHOU 11 News that Smith won't be prosecuting animal cruelty cases full-time.
"She needs to be doing it full-time," said Sherry Ferguson, executive director of the Houston Humane Society. "If they're going to add to her case load, she is not going to be able to handle what she's handling now."
Let alone cross training other prosecutor, she said.
"We already have people who are well trained," said Ferguson, "very well trained. So why reinvent the wheel?"

Who Else Gains from a GPL'd Java?
Sun's announcement that it would be releasing Java under the GNU GPL confounded many of its critics (including myself) who had feared that the company was incapable of making such a bold move. Quite rightly, it has garnered praise from across the hacker world. But Sun's relationship with free software has not always been so idyllic.
For example, Sun gave no support to Dave Miller's port of GNU/Linux to the SPARC platform, no doubt because it saw the young upstart as a rival to Solaris. In a way, this antagonism is ironic, because the spirit at Sun in the days of SunOS was remarkably close to that of the free software world. As Larry McVoy, who worked there during this period, told me a few years ago:
SunOS was a source base that had engineers putting effort into it more out of love for intellectual correctness and excellence than out of rewards of my salary or my stock options. It was seven or eight years of engineers sitting there on weekends polishing that thing.
Moreover, had Scott McNealy listened to McVoy, Sun could have seized the initiative and become the leader of the free software world very early on. In his Sourceware Operating System Proposal, which he wrote during September and October 1993, McVoy suggested that Sun should give away the source code to its SunOS 4 version of Unix so that a united Unix platform could be created to take on the rapidly rising might of Microsoft. Even more extraordinarily, as an alternative proposal, McVoy suggested that the Unix industry adopt GNU/Linux as this common platform - a bold move for the time, when Linux was barely two years old.
It was not to be, of course. Instead, Sun watched suspiciously from the sidelines as GNU/Linux grew in strength, the power of free software became evident - and Microsoft became the dominant force in computing, just as McVoy had predicted. Sun's first big move towards opening up came in 2000, when it made the source code of its StarOffice available, and set up the new OpenOffice.org project to develop it. The hope was clearly that this would undermine Microsoft's Office suite, with the added bonus that it did not threaten Sun's principal revenue streams - Solaris and Java.
OpenOffice.org has blossomed into one of the most important free software projects, and may well turn out to be one of the pivotal programs in terms of converting people to an open source desktop, as I have argued elsewhere. But the road from opening up StarOffice to opening up Java has been a long and painful one - a testament to the residual suspicions about free software that some within Sun still harbour.
Now that the deed has been done, and officially blessed by St IGNUcius, the natural question is: Who are the winners and losers? I don't want to add to the many answers that have already been offered - here's one of the best - except to reflect on an aspect that doesn't seem to have been brought up much.
Obviously, two of the biggest "winners" in all this are Richard Stallman and the GNU GPL. The latter, in particular, emerges greatly strengthened by Sun's choice. After all, it was not so long ago that Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's current CEO, was warning against the GNU GPL on the grounds that it imposed on its users "a rather predatory obligation to disgorge all their IP back to the wealthiest nation in the world," as he put it. Sun's ringing endorsement this week will go a long way to assuaging the concerns of others about the copyleft idea.
But there's an interesting knock-on effect of this GPL love-in. It means that Sun's Java software can finally enter the more rigorous distributions like Debian, which has traditionally had problems with Sun's Java licensing. That's important, because recent events have shown how vulnerable the "commercial" distributions like Red Hat and SuSE are to clever outflanking moves by well-heeled proprietary rivals. This places any distribution that is largely created and supported by a company at risk from similar machinations.
Against this background, the bulwarks of software freedom are the distributions run by coders, not corporates: they are immune to the various marketing ploys employed by proprietary rivals to weaken and divide their business rivals. Pre-eminent among these distributions is Debian and its derivatives, so anything that enhances their range and usefulness - like the addition of Sun's Java - is a big win for all of us.

Sun gave no support to Dave Miller?
As someone who works on open source at Sun, I disagree with your assertion that "Sun gave no support to Dave Miller's port of GNU/Linux to the SPARC platform, no doubt because it saw the young upstart as a rival to Solaris".
You neglect to mention both that the port was directly facilitated by Sun's decision to release to source of the UltraSPARC T1 chip under the GPL in the form of the OpenSPARC project for precisely such purposes, and that Sun donated hardware to Mr Miller and others working on the project.
Your implication is that Sun did not want to see the port happen, but as a direct result of the port, Sun is now listed as Debian derivative Ubuntu's only key partner.
Short of trying to hire Mr Miller away from Red Hat (doubtful that this would be in anyone's long-term interest), it is hard to see what else Sun should have done to support this valuable effort.
You describe an immunity to corporate marketing surrounding certain GNU/Linux distros. This does raise the question: what should Sun and other corporations do to make such details a matter of public record for responsible commentators like yourself?
kind regards
...for not replying sooner.
Well, my source for this statement was a certain Dave Miller, who told me a few years back that in the beginning Sun was less than warm in their feelings towards his work.
I'm sure you're right that things changed, but the first Sun machines he used were at the Center for Advanced Information Processing at Rutgers. Dave said that they were "some older Sparc systems gathering dust" that he started playing with out of hacker curiosity and "boredom."
I'm afraid I don't quite understand your last paragraph: could you perhaps explain it a little, please, and I'll try to respond.
Sun's doing this 'cause they're in trouble
First, thank you for your work on FOSS at Sun. If that is what you're doing, then you are doing a Good Thing.
Now, my memory's a bit longer than some who frequent here. I remember very well that Sun was one of the ones laughing at GNU/Linux and doing everything they could to make it look bad, compared to Solaris. That includes calling it "not enterprise ready," which is BS, since I've been running it on my enterprise servers since 2001 with excellent results. No, I'm no programmer, just an MCSE sysadmin. Sun *did* see GNU/Linux as a competitor. They made that very clear. Sun certainly didn't help GNU/Linux's port to the SPARC architecture any more than it helped the OpenBSD team do likewise...until very recently, i. e. this year. Sun looked totally schizophrenic with respect to GNU/Linux. Thankfully, that seems to have changed; your point about Ubuntu is one good example.
Also, let's remember that, recently, there was a major leadership change. Shortly thereafter is when we started seeing a different F/OSS strategy from Sun, including this recent GPL'ing of Sun Java.
That said, I certainly thank Sun for such critical pieces of software and network standards as OpenOffice.org, NFS, and now Java. It's nice to finally see Sun taking a clearer direction this way.

Hi Glyn,
Thanks for the informative article. Great news for Java-based sound & music apps, they can finally go directly into the multimedia distros, along with Java itself. Makes me want to do a little dance. :)

Great News
I think its great because finally gpl on java, a big relief.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

While doing the replacement poly switches with the Mills 0.5 type I noticed that some but not all of the side panels are starting to come free from there aging glue up job about 36 y/o now. Now what would be the best approach to solve this .I do have 2 remedies which I think would work but I'd like the concensous here on the pros on cons of both, or something else.
My 1st choice would to evenly layer out some Liquid Nails interior type and protect and tape off all the good stuff and of course neatness here is a must. Because I have no clamps tape and the weight of these things alone should work.
2. 2nd option which I also have is a full can of Dan Tack foam and fabric adhevise spray.I used this stuff while redoing the grill covers of my long gone Bose 601s w/ great effect.
So those in the know what would you guys do, seeing the tweeters are just 8 screws w/o the speakers themselves not having to move anymore this I can do once I get the go /no go on the right procedure.

The Pentagon says a Marine from Virginia has been killed in combat in Iraq.
The Department of Defense announced that 24-year-old Lance Corporal Jourdan L. Grez, who lived in Harrisonburg, was one of four Marines killed last Wednesday while supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. Grez was killed when his amphibious assault vehicle struck an explosive device while conducting combat operations against enemy forces in Karabilah, Iraq.
Grez was assigned to Marine Forces Reserves' 4th Combat Engineer Battalion, 4th Marine Division in Roanoke.
James Madison University officials say Grez attended the Harrisonburg college and was active in International Student Services.
For Operation Iraqi Freedom, these Marines' units were attached to Regimental Combat Team 2, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force (forward) at Camp Lejeune.

People are talking about Fracking.
The country's largest fracking site, a 350 million-year-old formation called the Marcellus Shale, spans the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland.
So what is fracking? And why should you care?
Hydraulic fracturing has been around for decades. Oklahoma-based Natural Gas producer Chesapeake Energy explains that "Hydraulic fracturing is a proven technological advancement which allows producers to safely recover natural gas and oil from deep shale formations."
On the other hand, The Environmental Working Group (EWG) explains that now, natural gas producers are deploying a new gas drilling method called high-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing to release gas locked in previously untapped shale formations.
Current fracking techniques use an accelerated process different from that of the past.
The New York Times reports that this "carries significant environmental risks. It involves injecting huge amounts of water, mixed with sand and chemicals, at high pressures to break up rock formations and release the gas…With hydrofracking, a well can produce over a million gallons of waste water that is often laced with highly corrosive salts, carcinogens like benzene and radioactive elements like radium, all of which can occur naturally thousands of feet underground." The most commonly used chemicals include carcinogens such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene and other toxins.
In 2011, according to a report by the Department of Energy's outside advisory panel on natural gas, shale gas reached 29 percent of total dry gas production in the lower 48 states, which is up from 6 percent in 2006.
Drillers claim fracking does not pollute ground water and underground water supplies. However, according to EWG, "growing numbers of Americans, many in rural communities, report that wells and other water sources have become unusable since fracking operations started up nearby."
In addition to the threat to water through contamination and the use of toxic chemicals, and the risk of air pollution, fracking is dangerous in other ways as well.
There have been explosions – such as the one in Ohio in 2007. There has been water contamination - in 2008 in Pennsylvania it was found that drilling waste water contaminated the Monongahela River.
There have been chemical spills – In 2009 Pennsylvania authorities fined Cabot Oil & Gas $56,650 for three spills of hydraulic fracturing fluid near the town of Dimock.
Truck traffic is increased – EWG notes that "drilling can require 1,300 truck trips per well, often in areas where roads do not exist or are not built to handle heavy trucks. Trucks cause significant air and noise pollution and can spill their loads, endangering water supplies."
In January 2012, Christopher Portier, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Environmental Health and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, argued that additional studies needed to be carried out to determine whether waste water from the fracking wells can harm people or animals and vegetables they eat. That same month a group of U.S. doctors "called for a moratorium on fracking in populated areas until such studies had been done" according to a Bloomberg article.
Marylanders should take note: This is happening in our state and there are no plans to let up. It's dangerous and bad for all of our health.
Fracking is not a partisan issue. President Obama voiced his support for the practice of fracking during his State of the Union address in January 2012. He, and all of the Republican nominees for President, take campaign contributions from the gas and oil industry. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, however, Republican candidates receive approximately four times as much money.
All candidates support hydraulic fracturing. However, a report by the Associated Press earlier this month notes that the majority of US citizens do not support hydraulic fracturing, regardless of party.

Sound you can bank on
When you've seen the number of wires and components a standard home theatre system will rack up, you'll be happy to know that Yamaha's digital sound projector, the YSP2200, breaks that stereotype. Using a bar with 16 beam drivers, the YSP2200 gives you your audible cues in by directing drivers towards different areas of your room, and bouncing the sound to those audio perceiving pockets called your ears. The YSP2200 has seven different plays, giving it the ability to simulate everything from stereo sound to 7.1-suround. With so much utility from such a small system, you'll be able to scratch one more thing off your home theatre list. Chalk one up for Yamaha for making home theatre easier.
Small system, big sound
Even with a smaller system, the YSP2200 is on the ball in bringing the best in digital sound to the table. With access to the latest Dolby and DTS audio codecs, and eleven sound projection modes that allow you to simulate any type of home theatre system, you'll be the one calling the shots for your home audio sound. Plus, Yamaha's Unisound technology allows you to line up the volume of all of your audio, included changes that happen between television shows and commercials, so there aren't any surprises while you're watching (or just listening). If music is more your game, Yamaha puts a little English on your sound by providing a compressed music enhancer that restores frequencies normally lost in MP3s and other forms of compressed music. With better bass and a more pronounced beat, your music collection will be a cut above the rest.
More than meets the HDMI
With such a simple sound solution, one would expect connections would be simple as well. Yamaha doesn't disappoint with the YSP2200. Rather than making you go through hoops to connect your HD devices for optimal sound, the YSP2200 includes three HDMI inputs, and a single output to your HDTV, making sure that you can get all your favorite HD components connected. Plus, if your HDTV shares the v.1.4 HDMI specification with the YSP2200, the audio return channel capability can eliminate extra audio cables. And the cherry on top of this audio sundae? The YSP2200 is compatible with HDMI CEC found on most HDTVs, so that when you turn your HDTV on or off, the sound projector will follow its lead.
In the box
Included with your purchase are: YSPCU2200 center unit, NSSWP600 subwoofer, remote control, 2 AA batteries, 1.5M optical audio cable, 1.5M digital audio pin cable, 1.5M analog video pin cable, IntelliBeam microphone, cardboard microphone stand, IR flasher, 4 subwoofer stand attachments, 3M speaker cable, non-skid pad for center unit (4 pieces), quick reference guide, demonstration DVD, saftey accessory information

I have this unit set up in a glass patio room which is up as a tv roomdinning area. Not an ideal home theatre environment. Auto set up was very easy to run but I was not very satisfied with the results. I tweaked some settings which did improve the sound slightly but I am still not that impressed. I was hoping for a simulated surround sound effect but no luck. At best it just improves the sound of my Samsung 3D LED tv. No surround effect at all. Sub woofer is unimpressive. I am not sure that my disappointment is the fault of the Yamaha or the make up of the room. I probably expected too much of this product for my room. I would probably return the Yamaha in exchange for a true surround system but I hate to return a product because of my own unrealistic expectations. My transaction with Vanns was excellent and I highly recommend them.

I was looking for a quality soundbar with a sub. The experts here at Vanns lead me to the YSP 2200. All I can say is it is AMAZING!!! The ease of set up, the sound...where does it come from? That is the question. Yamaha hit a home run with it. The highs mids and lows are simply unbelievable. The surround has looking around the room to see where the speakers are. Watching TV is now a joy with the crisp clear dialogue, and movies - I like to be immersed in whatever I watch and finallly I am.

Rated 3 out of 5�by nette frosty blue The bag was nice but not what I expected. The color that appeared light and dark blue online came out to be a light and dark turquoise color. It was called frosty blue. The bag was also smaller than what I thought. This is why I don't care to order online, I wouldn't have purchased this particular bag in the store. I bought it for my daughter whose favorite color is blue. Regardless, we're going to keep it and it won't prevent me from purchasing The North face again, just not online. June 21, 2014

Knoxville — Simon Estes is scheduled to perform at the Knoxville Performing Arts Center on Sunday, Dec. 1, and to his knowledge, this will be his first performance in the community.
Estes has performed in every major opera venue in the world. He seemed to find it funny that he has never performed in Knoxville, a town he remembers traveling through with his family, as they made their way to Des Moines.
Growing up in a financially poor family in Centerville, the family had strong faith in God.
"We were millionaires in our faith in God," Estes points out. When he was around 11 years old, he and his mother read through the entire Bible in one year by reading three chapters a day and five on Sunday. This was something he was able to accomplish, in seven months, with his wife of 13 years, Ovida.
Estes gives full credit to God for his voice and success. His mother and an older sister also had incredible voices. His sister played piano and the family listened to classical music when he was a child.
When he was in junior high school, the high school choral director recognized his talent and invited him to sing with the high school choir. Back then, in the 1950s, his voice hadn't changed yet and he sang soprano with the girls.
Compare that today, when young children giggle when he talks with them with his deep, bass voice. Estes doesn't mind.
The music he most often considered as a young man was popular music. He enjoyed artists such as Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra.
He attended junior college in Centerville. From there, he went on to the University of Iowa, where Charles Kellis heard him sing and told him that he could sing opera. Estes went on to the Julliard School in New York City. Upon completing his training there, Estes was hired to sing in an opera in Berlin, West Germany, in 1965.

The Haverhill Gazette
---- — One dilemma has always piqued my curiosity.
How did Rip Van Winkle sleep for 20 years and have the world slip by him? Okay, so it's as much fiction as poppycock, but Washington Irving turned the classic into one of the most endeared stories in American literature.
And guys like me bought into it at a very young age. Rip was the man. He left a nagging wife, slept through a war, and returned from a deep sleep to find his troubles gone.
In some ways, we all look to a good night's rest as a solution to our problems, provided we're not held hostage by them.
I do my best thinking in bed. It's true. Being a lousy sleeper, I lie awake nights like a zombie, thinking my days through and what my next column idea may carry.
Maybe it's all that carrot juice I've been drinking, allowing me to see through my eyelids. To put it bluntly, sleep and I are strange bedfellows.
It never used to be this way. I once slept through guard duty in the Army and got busted a rank. A trip to the theater had me nodding off in my seat. A long, monotonous trip in the car often has me pulling into a rest stop for a quick wink.
Much to my embarrassment, I've dozed off occasionally in church, right in the midst of my pastor's sermon, and later had the audacity to tell him how much I enjoyed his homily.
But beds are my albatross, it seems.
I've tried every trick in the book. I've turned to each side, laid on my back, listened to Brahms's "Lullaby" and other soothing music, even counted sheep.
A friend suggested I count 100 bottles of beer on the wall — backwards. All that did was make me intoxicated with frenzy.
I've changed locations, adjourning to a sofa. I've also tried reading myself to sleep. "War and Peace" wouldn't do it.
They tell me the TV is the greatest sleeping pill every invented. That may be true to some extent, but it creates another problem. If I do conk out in the midst of a boring movie, it's impossible trying to fall back asleep once again.
This guy I know might have an answer. Take a stimulant, a shot of brandy, he recommends. Now Harry is the senator to his friends. When he talks, people listen.
"My best sleep, it turns out, is when I exercise in the afternoon," he tells me. "I enjoy a light evening meal, followed by fruit snacks at night. A heavy dinner makes me feel bloated and uncomfortable. Cutting down your food intake will increase your appetite for sleep."
I used to attribute my insomnia to an evening coffee to settle my nerves. Even when I switched to decaffeinated, I was bamboozled. I eliminated caffeine altogether, even with soft beverages, and still no luck.
I couldn't blame it on my wife's snoring habits. One of the great mysteries of life is why people who snore are always the first ones who fall asleep.
The earplugs I used kept me from hearing the lullabies.
So off I went to my local pharmacy, looking for a solution over the counter. I tried this and that with no success. My doctor prescribed zolpidem tartrade. I know. It sounds worst than it actually is. What's 5 mg of anything?
It's not the way I want to retire for the evening — with an addiction to sleeping pills.
This posed another ridiculous question. The United States spends more money than any other country on coffee to keep people awake and on sleeping pills to put them to sleep.
Then I saw a TV ad that gave me hope. Maybe it wasn't me? Perhaps it was my bed. Did I need a new mattress? A softer pillow perhaps?
On comes this suave, debonair man plugging a pillow.
"Change the way you sleep and your life," he says. "Get away from those sleepless nights. Buy one of our pillows. Guaranteed to slumber you away or we'll refund your money."
Hey, it was cheaper than wrangling with another mattress. Pillow talk. I liked it.
On comes a satisfied customer who says, "I'm a busy salesman. When I go to bed, I need to sleep."
It wasn't the water bed he owned that did the trick, but his pillow.
So I did what I hardly ever do, order a product from the television. It was worth the exception. The pillow arrived a couple weeks later and I was relieved.
It worked to an extent. I woke up the next morning with neck pain.

Flanked by fellow grieving Sandy Hook parents and an enlarged photo of her late daughter, Nelba Marquez-Greene explained why she has taken the Sandy Hook Promise.
"On Dec. 14, I put two children on the bus and only one came home," she said. "I pray that no mother, father, grandparent or caregiver of children ever have to go through this pain."
That is what members of the organization Sandy Hook Promise hope to achieve through their mission, which was explained in detail at Edmond Town Hall Monday morning. It was exactly one month since a lone gunman killed before turning the gun on himself in one of the worst acts of school violence in the nation's history.
Members of the organization, which has applied for non-profit status, explained to hundreds of media outlets that they have no set agenda at this point other than to help enact positive change and try to prevent another tragedy from happening again. They have not taken an official stance on gun control debates that have erupted in the wake of the shooting. They have not pushed for particular school safety measures. And they haven't asked for specific changes to the mental health system.
Parent Nicole Hockley, whose son, Dylan, was killed in the Sandy Hook shool shooting, said she doesn't know what the necessary changes are to make our society safer.
"I come with no preconceived agenda," she said. "I do believe there is no quick fix, no single action, but instead a multitude of interlinked actions that are needed."
With that in mind, members of Sandy Hook Promise are looking to garner support from people all over the world. They are asking people to visit their website — www.sandyhookpromise.org — and promise that "this time there will be change."
The website's homepage says:
"I promise to honor the 26 lives lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School. I promise to do everything I can to encourage and support common sense solutions to make my community and our country safer from similar acts of violence."
"This is a promise to do everything in our power to be remembered not as the town filled with grief and victims, but as the place where real change began," Nicole Hockley said.
'I Don't Want There to be a Next Time'
The pain is still extremely raw for Nicole Hockley.
"Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday; other times it feels like many years have passed. …It's so hard to believe he's gone," she said. "I still find myself reaching for Dylan's hand to walk through the parking lot, or expect him to come crawling in to bed for morning cuddles before he goes off to school."
She said some her suffering has been eased by the tremendous outpouring of support from people all over the world, in particular those who have been through similar tragedies in Aurora, Texas, Columbine, Colo., and Blacksburg, Va.
People in those communities, whose hearts were also broken by a maniacal gunman, have done their best to pay forward the graciousness they, too, received after their respective tragedies.
But Hockley hopes she will never have to console another grieving family after a school shooting.
"I do not want to be someone sharing my experience and consoling someone next time; I don't want there to be a next time," she said.
'Doing Nothing…No Longer an Option'
Sandy Hook Promise wants to open a dialogue about responsible change. Its members want people to discuss their concerns with Congress, with their state officials, with each other and with their children around the dinner table.
Sandy Hook Promise co-founder Tom Bittman said people need to look within themselves to see how changes can be made.
"There are steps government can take. There are laws Congress can make," he said. But in order for real change to come, he said, "We have to fundamentally change our approach. It's not just what government should do. It's not just what I should do. It's not just what you should do. It's what we should do together."
He said that if Sandy Hook Promise fulfills its mission, then Newtown will be remembered for change, not this tragedy. He said the Sandy Hook shootings should be recalled as a turning point when communities across the country bonded and forged real change.
"Doing nothing is no longer an option," he said. "We have let this happen too many times. If we want real change, we have to think differently. We have to talk differently. And we have to act differently."
While topics such as gun control and politics have been discussed since Dec. 14, Sandy Hook co-founder Tim Makris brought it back Monday to heart of the matter: how changes should ultimately help people.
"Children deserve to wake up in the morning unafraid to go to school," he said. "Parents deserve to know that when they send their kids off to school in the morning, they are going to come home."

Coastal Birdfest Highlights Species and Habitat
By DAVID RAINER
Possibly more than anytime in the past, the flora and fauna of the Gulf Coast is in the national spotlight. Widespread media coverage has left the impression that everything along the northern Gulf Coast is contaminated with oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
Au contraire! While there has undoubtedly been damage, the ecosystem along the Gulf Coast continues to show its resilience.
Just in time to dispel some of those misconceptions is the John L. Borom Alabama Coastal Birdfest Oct. 14-17, which will highlight the importance of habitat to ensure that the vast majority of creatures that inhabit the Alabama Gulf Coast remain plentiful.
"There are going to be plenty of birds for people to see, and if people are concerned about the BP spill, it's because habitat was degraded," said Borom, director of Faulkner State Community College Fairhope Campus and the festival's namesake. "If you're going to have ecotourism, you've got to have habitat. If you're going to shrimp, you've got have clean water. If you're going to have seafood, you've got to have habitat. It's the same for birds."
Borom, a Fairhope native, said the national perception of the oil spill has indeed stigmatized the Gulf Coast. And he admits there was some impact.
"If you look at the images on television and see the oiled pelicans, oiled gulls and oiled terns," he said. "The truth is a lot of creatures and birds got coated with oil and died. Most of it was in Louisiana, some in Mississippi and a little bit in Alabama and a little in Florida. We didn't get the impact Louisiana got."
As bad as the spill was for nature, Borom said it could have been worse.
"Many birds migrate through Alabama twice a year," he said. "The neotropicals – the warblers and all that – weren't affected at all. They came through in mid April and migrate to Canada or the northern U.S. Then they come back through in October, so they weren't affected at all.
"Audubon (Society) was concerned that if that oil hadn't been stopped that thousands of ducks and other migrating birds would have been affected by the oil. Had it been when the loons, coots and ducks were migrating it would have been a disaster. But they got it stopped and we shouldn't have to worry about that now."
Borom said the spill was portrayed as having the same impact all across the Gulf.
"It was like poor Alabama got covered with oil and there's nothing left and everything is contaminated and nobody knows how contaminated it is and everybody is afraid to eat the seafood," he said. "But they've been checking the seafood and shrimp and haven't found anything.
"The oil has probably not all disappeared. It's probably seeped into the bottom somewhere. Bacteria will probably eventually decompose it. But it's in the cold water on the bottom of the Gulf and it may take longer to happen. It may get into the food chain, but we don't really know. We do know the fish are good to eat now. The shrimp are good to eat now."
Borom said the Alabama Wild Shrimp Program is one of the birdfest sponsors and John Dindo of Dauphin Island Sea Lab will be one of the keynote speakers during the event to give an update on the spill impact.
Other than easing fears that Alabama has been wrecked by the spill, Borom said the four-day birdfest has numerous objectives.
"The focus of the bird festival is not only promoting the economy by staying at the local Holiday Inn and eating at local restaurants – something Alabama really needs because of a lack of it this summer – but education is the main goal and saving habitat and letting people know what they can do to make a difference," he said. "Birdfest does a number of things. It promotes ecotourism by getting people to come and enjoy nature along the Alabama Gulf Coast. They get guided tours along the trail. Two, it involves education with our free Bird and Conservation Expo on Saturday when we give away free birdhouses and talk about the importance of habitat and it's that habitat we need to protect."
Proceeds from the Birdfest go to habitat conservation. In six years the event has generated about $65,000 that is used to purchase habitat. Most of it has been used to expand the Dauphin Island Bird Sanctuary, while a portion has been used in the Weeks Bay area.
"The focus is if we enjoy birds, if we are going to continue to enjoy nature, they've got to have habitat," said Borom, president of the Mobile Bay Audubon Society. "The idea is to let people enjoy birds with the intention of saving habitat for future generations."
Borom said the number of people registered for the 23 guided trips are down a little, which is to be expected.
"But we've still got people from 16 states and Canada coming," he said. "I say we're an international festival because we've got one guy from Canada who has been coming for the past five years. That's makes us an international bird festival and we'll count it.
"People like birds all over the country and families come together from all parts of the country. It's a time for people to come together, doing something they like to do."
On Saturday, October 16, the Bird and Conservation Expo will be held in Fairhope with activities available for young and old alike.
"We'll have 2,000 people on that Saturday," Borom said. "People will be coming to the see the raptors – eagles, hawks and owls. Conservation (Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources-Marine Resources Division) will have the touch tank where you can touch the sting rays and horseshoe crabs and a big tent. We're going to have a presentation on Alabama snakes. We've got a workshop on feathers. We've got a workshop on beaks and feet. We're going to do a brief look at butterflies. We're going to dissect owl pellets. Tim Gothard of the Alabama Wildlife Federation will talk about why we need Forever Wild. We're going to have all these things to do right here on the Fairhope campus.
Borom said being able to participate in a hands-on event like the expo has significant benefits.
"It brings us closer to nature and makes us realize our lives are totally dependent on the environment around us," he said. "We are part of nature and it's in our best interest to pass on as large a chunk of it as we can to the next generation.
"There's just a lot of opportunity to promote conservation. There's a lot of opportunity to promote stewardship. There's a lot of opportunity to stimulate the economy a little bit. And there's a huge opportunity to have a good time and enjoy nature."

Our dad has been a firefighter for a little more than 20 years with the Bedford Park Fire Department. Whether it's visiting him at his station or going to the or , the sights and sounds always have been fascinating to us.
This year we visited the . During the open house on Saturday, we saw a car excavation and a sprinkler system demonstration.
The car excavation was a demonstration on how firefighters get people out of the car that was in a crash. The sprinkler system demonstration showed how the sprinkler system can save your life and property by putting out a fire in less than a minute after it started.
Also at the open house, there was a free raffle for a carbon monoxide detector. Those can also save your lives.
One firefighter showed us the bunk room. That is where the firefighters sleep. They have comfy beds. Whenever we visit Dad at this fire department, we get to jump on the beds. But we didn't do it here.
We finished the day with a complimentary, tasty hot dog and punch and a visit with Sparky the Dog.
The following day, we woke up early and went to the Minooka Fire Department for its pancake breakfast. It was very yummy. We had pancakes, sausage patties and links and scrambled eggs. We washed it down with a glass of milk. Mom had coffee.
We both entered a raffle for a toy fire trucks. Mom entered a raffle for a big basket full of fun fall decorations and food items.
After eating, we both had to pose for a picture with the fire engines. We never get enough of that. But best of all, we enjoy sitting in the fire trucks and pretending to go on a call.
As you can see, we never get bored with a visit to a fire department.

I have to say this is by far the best recipes I have found for scallops. I read all the reviews as I always do and yes there are postive and negative always but that didn't scare me away.I think the taste is fabulous. I use jarred lemon juice a little less then 1/4 cup, I use a butter subsitite,smart butter 1/3 cup, fresh parsley I grew,and the rest of ingrediants on the list.I kept mine in the simmered marinade juice for probably 5 or more minutes and let sit in a bowl after taking them out of juice prob 20 minutes before grilling because I didnt have skewers and hub went to the store to get them. I then reheated remaining marinade adding more butter and little more onion heated for another 5 to 10 min on simmer. Grilled the scallop on the grill 4 or so mins realizing they were sticking so I placed them in a disposable grill metal pan, and cooked a total of 8 more mins . They were absolutely perfect.I tested for doneness making sure white and right texture.I served mine over steamed white rice placed scallops on top poured on marinade that had simmered and a side of garlic broccoli. My hub ravved saying how good these were, better than a resturaunt and alot more of it. We used large sea scallops btw.Enjoy :)
This recipe was simply amazing and everyone loved it. It's simple enough to prepare, and tastes like you put a lot into it.I served with a loaf of french bread to soak up the leftover marinade. Instead of skewering the scallops and risking losing the smaller pieces, we put them in a double-sided grate with a handle on it. It makes it easier to turn them, and uses much less time than skewering.
These were pretty good. I probably wouldn't make them again because they taste much like pan fried scallops in butter, therefore there was too much work to get that simple taste.

Apple calls for developers to submit iOS 7 apps
With iOS 7 going Gold Master on Tuesday and planned for a September 18th release, Apple is officially opening the doors to developers who want to submit apps to the App Store built for the new operating system. The company put out the call for iOS 7 apps today on their web site and in an e-mail sent to registered iOS developers.
iOS 7 will soon be in the hands of hundreds of millions of customers. Reimagine your app's interface with the clarity, translucency, and depth of iOS 7. Integrate APIs for AirDrop, multitasking, games, and camera, as well as new APIs that take advantage of the powerful new capabilities of iPhone 5s.
There are 3 comments. Add yours.
Submitted! Was worried that my universal app (Snoozy) would have to be delayed if iOS 7's rumors of the initial rollout being iPhone-only were true, but they weren't and I should be good to go for launch. :)
Can't wait for Septemer 18, bye iOS 6 we've been best friends and I like you but I have to let you go. LOL
I'm excited for all the updates and what some of the new icons will be like. If you look at the Apple Store app, scroll down and you'll see what the iOS 7 icon will look like
