NORMAN — Business and city leaders from Norman are in Washington, D.C., this week advocating for the city's interests.
Norman Chamber of Commerce President John Woods reported that 25 representatives from the business community, the University of Oklahoma and Norman City Council members Jim Griffin and Tom Kovach began Wednesday with a briefing by the U.S. Chamber concerning federal issues of sequestration, work force development and education, and federal regulations impacting business.
Woods reported that the delegation met Wednesday with Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, followed with separate meetings with Rep. Tom Cole, R-Moore, and Rep. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma City.
"Tomorrow we will host a breakfast for the state congressional delegation and will meet with Congressman Mullin," Woods said via email Wednesday morning.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Westville, succeeded Dan Boren to represent Oklahoma's second district.
The chamber's annual Washington, D.C., fly-in includes a Congressional Breakfast Reception honoring all members of Oklahoma's legislative delegation and their staffs. The 2013 breakfast reception will be from 8 to 9:30 a.m. in the Cannon Building today.
This year's fly-in includes a nightcap get-together for Norman attendees and special Oklahomans that call Washington, D.C., home.
The Norman chamber's Washington fly-in is funded by sponsorships from chamber members.

Brazil Flights
In the north-eastern area of Brazil, north of the Sertao desert, rises the second largest city in the state of Cearà, Fortaleza. The city's origins are surrounded by a small mystery, which seems to be related to the city's occupation by Dutch forces dating back to the middle of the 1600s: in 1649 the Dutch governor of Pernambuco, a certain Schoonenborch, had a fortress built along the river Pajeú, around which a town developed. Following the defeat of the Dutch troops in 1654, the fortress then took the name of Forte de Nossa Senhora da Assunção at the will of the new Portuguese governor Alvaro de Azevedo Barreto.
The current name, Fortaleza, dates back to the beginning of the 1800s, when the city's motto "Fortitude" was coined from the Latin word "coraggio". This can still be found in the city's coat of arms. Today the fortress is home to a military barracks, nevertheless history enthusiasts can enjoy a free guided tour, including a visit to the ancient prisons and a museum.
The three million inhabitants can thank Mother Nature for giving the city of Fortaleza a splendid climate which attracts tourists throughout the year. In particular, the city offers a temperate climate, ideal for swimming and excursions during the Brazilian winter, when it is summer here and when the city also hosts a very special event attracting thousands of Brazilian and foreign tourists: the Fortal . The Fortal is an "out of season" New Year's Eve celebrated during the last week of July.

Strange things happen in MMA, and Overeem is a living legend in the 'strange' department so nothing would surprise me. I have no doubt that Alistair will get back on the juice, but the question is how: Does he (1) maintain risky illicit use of PEDs and cycle off to avoid pissing hot or (2) pursue a therapeutic use exemption for legal TRT? If he chooses the latter option, it would be pouring jet fuel into the inferno of 'TRT in MMA' discussions.
This. How many times does a guy have to get knocked out to remember to keep his bloody guard up?!
i might have been tough on my east coast brother FE1, but the facts are this...
When have been put to sleep my shogun twice, chuck, Bigfoot, Kharitonov, and guy named Bobby Hoffman whose claim to fame is beating heath herring and Ricco rodriguez, then you probably shouldn't get into a cage with your hands down. Consider himself lucky it was bigfoot, and not Cain or JDS or he might have been in a body bag.
There is no excuse with fighting with your hands down in the UFC; Especially if you've got a kinder Eggs for a chin like AO.

Novice Strikers my ass. Finding the lights turned out isnt new to the Reem.
I don't think AO is ever going to make it to a fight with JDS call it a hunch.
First his testosterone levels are way above average, now they are below? That can't be good for you. This guys body is probably all sorts of fucked
But those speculating how a drug-free Overeem would fair already saw the consequences of the low testosterone during the weigh-ins for the fight. One blogger on MMA Freak described him as a much "softer" Overeem to the one that defeated Brock Lesnar more than two years before.
Was only about 14 months ago...
JDS's infinitely faster hands are going to KO Overeem regardless of what substance he would or wouldn't be on. AO's only chance is to leg-kick the shit out of JDS before he gets put to sleep.
It works for Belfort,it can work for AO.

Asus is slated to bring out a dual Windows 8.1-Android hybrid in second quarter of this year. But things may not be going swimmingly for the device.
CNET editor Dong Ngo shows you how to spy on your loved ones with Asus' new Wi-Fi router. It's fun!
The 10.1-inch Transformer Pad TF103 packs a productive punch with a new feature-filled user-interface and detachable keyboard dock.
The Asus Transformer Book Trio a laptop, tablet, and desktop in one.
The 8-inch tablet starts a $199 and offers a slick, new user-interface in a comfortably thin package.
The 10.1-incher fails to capture the imagination or excitement of its fellow Computex 2014 tablets.
Pricing not available
The Windows and Android phone, tablet and notebook combo aims to please even the most fussy user by packing everything you need (bar iOS) into a 12.5-inch device.
Pricing not available
Impossibly thin at just 7.3mm in tablet mode, this 12.5-inch two-in-one from Asus is turning heads at Computex in Taiwan.
This 14-inch notebook offers a responsive touchscreen for only about $700, but cuts too many corners to be especially worthwhile.
With Asus' slickest user interface yet, included keyboard, and a competitive starting price, the small but chunky Transformer Pad TF103 is an attractively affordable tablet hybrid.

The drug called, Kadcyla, combines Roche's existing cancer drug, Herceptin, with a powerful chemotherapy agent and is meant to treat certain types of breast cancer that have spread to other parts of the body.
The FDA on Friday approved a powerful new type of drug from Roche to treat breast cancer. WSJ's Jennifer Corbett Dooren joins The News Hub with a look at what this means for patients, and some insight into the drug approval process. Photo: Getty Images.

Herceptin then delivers the package to the tumor cell, where it releases the toxic cargo to kill the cancer.
The FDA's approval of Kadcyla, which was previously known as T-DM1, triggers a $10.5 million payment to ImmunoGen by Roche. ImmunoGen will also receive royalties on sales of up to 5%.
Analysts said the approval was broader than expected. The drug can be marketed for initial treatment rather than just in patients who have tried other therapies, creating a "significantly larger patient population," said Simos Simeondis, an analyst at Cowen and Company.
Roche's Genentech unit said Kadcyla will be available to patients in about two weeks. The drug will be priced at $9,800 a month. The company said there will be a patient-assistance program to help pay for the product.
Agents like Kadcyla are called antibody-drug conjugates and they are the focus of intense interest in the pharmaceutical industry. Roche's Genentech unit has 25 such agents under development for different cancers, including eight in human studies.

The approval of Kadcyla was based on a study of about 1,000 women with HER2-positive breast cancer who had been treated previously with Herceptin and a traditional chemotherapy drug. About half of the women were then treated with T-DM1, and the other half were treated with a combination of Xeloda, another Roche drug, and GlaxoSmithKline's Tykerb. The study showed women receiving Kadcyla lived for an average of 31 months, which was about six months longer than women being treated with Xeloda and Tykerb.
Like other cancer drugs, Kadcyla has the potential to cause serious and life-threatening side effects from liver damage or heart problems. The drug can also cause severe birth defects, so doctors need to make sure women of childbearing age aren't pregnant before administering the product.

The recent decision by the International Olympic Committee to drop wrestling from the 2020 Summer Games stunned and disappointed wrestling coaches across metro Atlanta.
The IOC's decision really hit home with Patrick Ryan during the recent Georgia wrestling championship tournament in Macon. Ryan, Lithonia High School's wrestling coach, said his all-time best wrestler told him, "I don't even want to wrestle anymore."
"Here is my all-time greatest wrestler, telling me he wants to quit," Ryan said, "and I had to convince him to keep going."
In a secret vote, the International Olympic Committee's executive board decided to eliminate wrestling from the Olympics. The committee agreed to pare down the 26 sports it features to 25 so that a new sport could join the lineup in 2020. Wrestling has a chance to make it back into the Olympics, but the Los Angeles Times said that was unlikely now that it has been cut.
What do you think about the IOC's decision to remove one of its oldest sports? Do you think the IOC will reverse its decision, or is wrestling gone for good? Share your thoughts in the Comments section below.

text: I like to describe the first Hostel as starting out like American Pie only slightly more serious. One of those dramatic "coming of age" movies. One hard left turn later the film turns into Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It completely flips, and everything you were watching before means nothing. Now you are deep in the bowels of some factory where rich guys pay top dollar to do things I'd like to think most human beings aren't capable of doing. Unfortunately, I'm probably wrong.

According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 25.8 million people or 8.5% of the population in the United States who have diabetes. While an estimated 18.8 million have been diagnosed, unfortunately, 7 million people are not aware that they have this disease.
Each day approximately 5,205 people are diagnosed with diabetes. Many will first learn that they have diabetes when they are treated for one of its life-threatening complications- heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, blindness, and nerve disease and amputation.
About 1.9 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in people aged 20 years or older in 2010 in the US. Diabetes contributed to 231,404 deaths in 2007, making it the seventh leading cause of death in the US. Overall, the risk for death among people with diabetes is about twice that of people of similar age but without diabetes.

Kurt Millard spent most of last weekend in jail, locked up on another man's arrest warrant. The 26-year-old resident of Joplin, Mo. could not convince his jailers they had the wrong guy. "I got the run-around the whole weekend," Millard told the Joplin Globe. "I didn't even get to wish my mother a happy Mother's Day."
Turns out his 47 hours of mistaken incarceration were an unfortunate consequence of his identity having been stolen, unbeknownst to Millard, by a suspect in a vehicle tampering case. That suspect, for whom the arrest warrant was intended, remains at large and is now being sought by the Jasper County Sheriff's Department under his real name, Jesse Boyd.
Millard said his first inkling of all this began with a text message from a friend informing him that a local bail bondsman was looking for him. He said he had never used the bail bondsman in question and was curious why he would be looking for him and telling people he had an arrest warrant for him.
He went to the Jasper County sheriff's office in Carthage on Saturday to try to clear the matter up. Sure enough, they had a warrant on Kurt Millard for failure to appear in court on a tampering charge originating in Duenweg, and he was placed under arrest at 12:48 p.m.
The defendant they were looking for had provided Millard's birth date, his Social Security number, even an address where Millard previously lived when the suspect was arrested on the tampering charge.
"But they pulled up his picture and you could see it wasn't me," Millard said.
He was told that didn't matter. The sheriff's office would need more objective evidence that he was not the man named by the warrant. That meant confirmation by either fingerprint analysis or by retinal eye scanner.
Millard was placed in a holding cell while they began running his fingerprints. Since they no longer have to use the old ink method of taking fingerprints, Millard was under a mistaken impression that he was not fingerprinted by the jail until shortly before they finally released him on Monday, and that his jailers were doing nothing about his situation while he languished in the holding cell for seven to eight hours on Saturday. Eventually, he was taken back to the jail and left there the remainder of the weekend.
Sheriff Randee Kaiser told the Globe that Millard is wrong about not being fingerprinted until Monday. Kaiser said he would have been fingerprinted when he was booked. That's standard procedure. But the way they do it now, some people do not even realize that's what's happening, Kaiser said.
He said Millard's fingerprints were sent electronically on Saturday to the Automated Fingerprints Identification System operated by the FBI. But the jail did not get a response back from AFIS the entire weekend, which is not the way the system normally works, the sheriff said.
"I do not know what the reason for that is," Kaiser said.
The situation was exacerbated by the connection for the jail's retinal scanner to a computer database being down all weekend.
Kaiser said the sheriff's office could not call and check on the matter with AFIS until Monday. That was when they learned Millard's fingerprints did not match those obtained when Boyd was arrested on the tampering charge.
"We made this arrest in good faith based upon the information that was provided to us," the sheriff said. "As soon as we got information that we had the wrong (person), we corrected that."
Millard did not get out of jail until almost noon on Monday. He is not happy with either the sheriff's office or the bail bondsman involved. Nor has he lost sight of whose alleged actions landed him in jail.
"I don't know the dude," Millard said of Boyd. "But I'll always remember his face for doing this to me."
He does not know how Boyd may have obtained his personal information. He lost his wallet a couple of years ago. When police found it and returned it to him, the $600 it contained from a paycheck he'd just cashed was gone. But his identification was still in it.
Millard said perhaps someone copied his personal information at that time, although that would not explain how Boyd allegedly used an address where Millard had lived since then.
Sought man
Jasper County Sheriff Randee Kaiser said investigators will be seeking charges of forgery and identity theft against Jesse Boyd, who remains wanted for failure to appear in court in a tampering case.

Nearly five years after the town's departments were audited following the change in Braintree's government, the school department is now preparing for an independent examination of its own practices.
The Abrahams Group, based in Framingham, has performed audits of districts or portions of districts in Wayland, Westfield, Springfield, Hull and other towns, and has begun in Braintree by requesting job analysis questionnaires from 89 staff members.
Answers to those forms – due last week – will serve as the basis for a comprehensive review of Braintree Public Schools. Abrahams will look at the department's budget process, building and grounds maintenance, transportation, school lunch, communications, accounting and other areas, looking for redundancies and savings in non-educational functions.
The firm will also conduct voluntary focus groups, look at revolving accounts and review financial reporting on non-athletic extracurricular programs.
Key areas where Abrahams could find savings include streamlining the payroll system, consolidating information technology, and making transportation, purchasing and the school lunch program more efficient, Mark Abrahams, a CPA and president of the group, told School Committee members last week.
Abrahams plans to prepare a draft report that the school department can review in about 13 weeks before presenting a final report to the School Committee. The firm has already interviewed committee members and other administrative staff.
The committee voted in May 2011 to formally look into the costs of doing an audit and it was approved about a year ago. Earlier this year, member Joe Zarrella voted against the department's fiscal 2013 budget because an audit had yet to be performed.

Jones House goes country
Published: 5:14 PM, 08/22/2012
Last updated: 12:01 AM, 08/25/2012
The Jones House goes country on Friday, Aug. 24, at 5 p.m., as the town of Boone continues the 2012 Concerts at the Jones House performances with Strictly Clean and Decent and the Buck Haggard Band.
Strictly Clean and Decent is an acoustic trio based in Lenoir, including husband-and-wife multi-instrumentalists Patrick and Kay Crouch and bassist Ron Shuffler.
While they perform an eclectic variety of acoustic-based genres, Strictly Clean and Decent is rooted in tradition. As members of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area's Traditional Artist Directory and longtime Caldwell Arts Council cohorts, Strictly Clean and Decent has been the house band for the long-running Caldwell Traditional Music showcases.
Between Patrick and Kay, the two cover the guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro, fiddle, flute, piano and tin whistle. Shuffler comes from a very musical family, including his brother, George, who is known for helping create cross-picking guitar styles, while performing with the Stanley Brothers. Strictly Clean and Decent will bring a variety of acoustic and country styles.
"I am very excited to have Strictly Clean and Decent join the schedule this year," concerts coordinator Mark Freed said. "I have known these top-notch musicians for several years, and I am so happy to have them coming to the Jones House."
Buck Haggard Band will follow, bringing a classic country repertoire to the porch.
Led by guitarist and bandleader George Wilson, Buck Haggard Band was formed to fill a needed void for classic country music in the High Country.
The band is named for two of the members' country heroes, Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, and they perform songs from that era of country music. Wilson noted that the group originally got together to play just a couple gigs, and more engagements took off from there.
The band is rounded out by Eddie Maines on keyboards, Greg Russell on drums, Tracy Brown on bass and Jimmy Cannon on steel guitar.
"People who know them love them, and those who have not yet heard Buck Haggard Band will quickly become fans," Freed said. "They play an era of country music that is just not heard very often from live performing bands. And they do it well.
"The members in both of these groups are real pros. Both of these bands could be on the national stage if individual day jobs did not keep them tied to the High Country."
Concerts at the Jones House take place at the Jones House Community Center, located at 604 W. King St. in downtown Boone, every Friday from June through September. The free concert starts at 5 p.m., and patrons are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket to sit on the lawn.
The 2012 Concert series is sponsored by MPrints, Stick Boy Bread/Melanie's, Footsloggers, Mast General Store and the Downtown Boone Development Association.
Next week's concert features the Dashboard Hula Boys and Kirby, Welch & Stone. For a complete schedule, visit http://www.boone-nc.org or call (828) 262-4576 for more information.

The Arts Education Partnership in Washington, D.C. teams up with Lesley on groundbreaking research and policy initiative
Saturday, March 02, 2013
Lesley graduate students Miranda Hynes and Mary Brooks, both M.Ed. candidates in the Creative Arts in Learning Program, have been selected to ArtsEdSearch's first fellowship class to analyze emerging research on arts in learning. The project serves as the nation's first database focused entirely on the educational outcomes associated with student learning through the arts – one of Lesley's hallmark programs.
"This is intended to provide a solid base of information for policy makers and educators about how arts education can inspire students across the curriculum," said Brooks. "We're definitely looking at how arts education can support 21st century thinking skills to create innovative thinkers who are flexible and willing to take risks in their learning."
The fellowship stemmed from AEP's partnership in 2011 with Lesley's Creativity Commons, a university-wide program for scholars and students to explore the role of innovation in teaching and learning in education. A grant from AEP funded the initiative to provide research fellowships to students across Lesley's graduate art programs to identify and summarize research for the launch of ArtsEdSearch.
"The Arts Education Partnership approached Lesley because of the substantial research on arts integration and arts education that's been underway here in the last several years," said Lesley instructor Lisa Donovan.
The initiative was so successful, according to Donovan, that the "Lesley Creativity Commons Model" was used and expanded into a national model for AEP's higher education initiative to provide similar fellowships and training across the country.
Brooks and Hynes are among eight members of the inaugural ArtsEdSearch Fellowship class, whose fellows hail from Lesley, Harvard, Florida Atlantic University, and Virginia Commonwealth University. Their mission is to contribute to a high quality database of information on the role the arts play in developing students' creative thinking, problem solving, communication, and collaboration skills to help them prepare for college and career success.
As fellows, Hynes and Brooks analyze articles about art education, specifically outcomes of art education that are supported by research, working both independently and through regular web conferences with the fellowship class.
"It's about validity, credibility and measurability," said Hynes. "If you talk to any educator, they'll tell you how important the arts are and they'll tell you anecdotes about the impact on children, but unfortunately, in the larger world and in education funding, you can't just say, 'I know it works.'"
"There are strict criteria that studies must demonstrate to be included in the ArtsEdSearch database and we have to critically read these studies," noted Brooks.
In April, as part of the ArtsEdSearch Fellowship, Brooks and Hynes will travel to Washington, D.C., for AEP's 2013 National Forum: Arts, Education, and the Next America, which gathers national leaders to frame today's most pressing education issues and provide thought-provoking ideas for empowered leadership in the arts.
Brooks is an artist, and she works as a research scientist at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass. After she graduates from Lesley in August 2013, she plans to develop arts integrated science curricula for high school and middle school science classes and create teacher training for science teachers who are interested in adding arts integration to their teaching approach.
"Learning through the arts is such a powerful way to make learning relevant and understand the concepts that underlie all the facts," said Brooks.
Hynes is an artist and works as an instructor at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. She is scheduled to graduate from Lesley in May 2013. For her Master's thesis, she's writing a book titled, Don't Make Art, Just Make Something, which "centers around the idea that if you always try to make art, you miss out on everything else you can make."
The initial fellowships at Lesley that led to the national "Lesley Creativity Commons Model" involved research fellowships awarded to six Lesley graduate students studying arts in education and therapy: Laura Hill, Dahlia Bousaid, and Rebecca Kirk in Community Arts and Education; Erin Sutton in Art Education; and Christine Hampton in Expressive Therapies.
Lesley faculty collaborated with the fellows through training in research, analysis of data, and publication of research summaries with policy implications. Faculty members included Donovan, who was then the Creative Arts in Learning Division Director, Creativity Commons leaders Gene Diaz and Martha McKenna, as well as Librarian Constance Vrattos and Director of Institutional Assessment Linda Pursley.
"The students found the process of collaborating with Lesley faculty and researchers enlightening and incredibly valuable as they considered the relationship between research in arts education and policy implications," said Donovan.

National Clean Off Your Desk Day
Today is National Clean off your Desk Day. Apparently we now have a holiday devoted to the idea of cleaning off your desk. Who knew! Do we have a day for dirty up your desk or pile everything you can find in your office onto your desk? Well, I don't think I am going to be able to celebrate this day. I have too much to do on Mondays to be able to take time to clean off my desk. Does it still count if I clean it off on Friday?
National Dress Up Your Pet Day
Now we have a day for dressing up our pets. I won't be able to celebrate this day either. My dog doesn't seem to think he should wear clothes! He looks like he thinks I am crazy when I even try to make him wear a coat!

Best Free Screen Capture Tool
Other Language?

In a Hurry?
|Go straight to the Quick Selection Guide
On the standard Windows operating system, pressing the Print-Screen key will copy an image of the entire screen to the clipboard, holding the Alt key and pressing the Print-Screen key will capture the currently selected window. Vista and Windows 7 come with a screen capture utility pre-installed. Other operating systems may also offer a similar utility for screen capture.
As an alternative to the utilities that come with the OS, the freeware products in this review cover most of the following useful features and functions which users might find they need:
This article's focus is on screen captures. If your priority is editing, after the capture, then check out Best Free Digital Image Editor. Several of the editors listed also perform screen captures.
I've eliminated many products because they can't adapt to my screen settings, eg I have the custom text size set to 150%. I feel that I should not have to optimize the screen settings for the screen capture tool. Instead, I should optimize the screen for myself and the item I want to capture. The utility should be able to adapt. As evidence that this is not impossible there are several utilities listed below which meet this criteria.
Screenshot Captor supports multiple screens, full screen, window, rectangular area, and fixed area captures from either hot keys or from the programs menu. The cursor can be included or excluded. It's the only capture facility that can take a self-portrait. The software can acquire images from a scanner.
Once captured the program can automatically do the following to the image: keep, save, print, move to the clipboard, display in the built-in editor, email, or upload to hosting services.
The built-in editor is rich with features. You might not find it necessary to use an image editor.
Requests for free registration on start up.
DuckCapture supports snapping a region, window or object, scrolling window and fullscreen. You can choose which snapping mode you like with a hot key or by mousing over the program icon in the system tray.
With this program you can choose to select an image outline, set output target to the clipboard or auto-save to a file.
I found this program easy and intuitive to use, but it lacks a simple built-in image editor and a setting for a delayed capture.
SnapDraw is a screenshot capture, editor and annotation tool. It only supports window or full screen capture, but the image can be cropped with the built-in editor. There is no delayed capture setting. Operates from either a hot key or the notification icon.
Where it excels is in the built-in editor. There are many tools available such as callouts, magnifying lenses, 3D perspective, and reflections.
Images can be saved to clipboard, file, email or FTP. There is no direct to printer option.
Lightscreen captures screen, window and area from hotkeys or tray icon. It supports screenshot delay, cursor and multi-monitor. Auto-saves its outputs to file or clipboard. No other output functions are supported.
Cropper makes it fast and easy to grab parts of the screen from either a hot key or from the notification icon. Fullscreen, active window and rectangular area are supported. No auto-save, auto-scroll, or delayed capture. A screenshot and a thumbnail can be created simultaneously.
Output can be directed to the clipboard, printer or an image file.
Microsoft's Snipping Tool comes already installed in Windows Vista and Windows 7. A capture must be initiated by first launching the program. From there one can select a screen capture type or press Escape and the PrintScreen button hot key. Full screen, active screen, rectangular area, and freehand area seletions are supported. No auto-save, auto-scroll or delayed capture.
Output is displayed in the editor window and sent either to email or an image file. The editor is limited to two tools--a freehand highlighting tool and a freehand line drawing tool. There is no printer output function.
Screen Grab Pro features one-click grab of desktop, active window and region from the main interface or hot keys. It also allows for timer operation and copies images to the clipboard or external editor.
I liked that it had an option to automatically open the external editor after saving the file.
Lowers screen resolution when attempting to capture a rectangular region so nealy half of the right and bottom sides are unavailable.
Requires an email address for registration.
Jing only supports rectangular screen captures. However, it can also capture a video of activity within the selection. Delayed capture, hotkeys, auto-save, and scrolling windows are not supported. Output to clipboard, file, and Screencast.com. Includes an image editor but not a video editor.
Requires registration with Screencast.com.
To be reviewed:
SnapCrab: http://www.fenrir-inc.com/us/snapcrab/
The following screen capture tools were brought up in comments here or noted from other sources. Some tools don't properly handle the text size setting thereby effectively cropping 225% of the screen with a 150% text screen setting. They may work fine if your text setting is normal (100%).

I usually use ScreenHunter and have found it pretty good over the years even if it does lower screen resolution.
Anyway with a new laptop I decided to give DuckCapture a go. It worked pretty well. Only drawbacks I found were:
(1). No hotkeys for screen capture - this was annoying as I was trying to capture a window where I had moved the mouse over an icon to show the icon description - I wanted to capture the icon description. Without hotkey this is not possible
(2). When hilighting an area of the screen capture I wanted to draw a circle or elipse around an area of interest. This was not possible, you can draw a square, line, freeform polygon.
(3). Does not automatically save to clipboard, you have to choose that option after capturing screen.
I'll probably go back to ScreenHunter as a new version was released a few weeks ago.

Beware of the unwanted toolbar bundled with the free version unless you opt for the portable.

The antivirus on public comp I use puts DuckCapture in quarntine if I try to download it from Cnet. So, if you have the same problem, download from here instead:
Screenshot Captor should be the Editor's Choice. It has every feature listed in the article and comments, including the features the Editor's Choice and top picks are missing. (How did DuckCapture become Editor's Choice without an image editor?)
Screenshot Captor also has several other features. My favorite is direct upload to Dropbox, Flicker, Image Shack, Photobucket, etc., etc. with auto creation of URL shortner links through most of the main URL shortner sites such as goo.gl and bit.ly.
I have never encountered the multi-monitor and screen resolution issues that were mentioned, so I suspect they are due to unusual and obscure bugs.
Given all the features, intuitive use and high level of configurability, it should have been named Screenshot Kitchen Sink.
Thank you. Added it to list of programs with the larger text bug.

Gadwin PrintScreen is the BEST!
I have used it for years and never had any of the problems you talk about.

On reading the latest reco on Screenshot Captor as No 1 selection, I uninstalled Pickpick and installed Screenshot Captor. I like to change the size of screenshots using the percentage change method. Screenshot Captor does not have this, so it is back to PicPick for me.
by Ton (not verified) on 5. October 2011 - 13:07 (80923)
I use the screen capture resource of FastStone Image Viewer. serves me quite well, has diferent capture options and can send to file, viewer, clipboard. Also freeware.
SnapDraw *DOES* support capturing only the active window - you just need to setup the hotkey for it - and select that option in the menu - or select the function from the "Capture Now" menu. Either way you can select to capture
- Current Window/Object
- Current Window
- Current Monitor (Desktop)
- All Monitors (Desktops)
I do rectangular selection by capturing the current Window/Object - and then cropping.
It does take a few minutes of playing with the settings to get it right - can seem to be a little confusing because it works differently to other screen capture apps. Once you see how it works - it's very nice (and I believe one of the best apps for annotating screenshots).
by dalmas (not verified) on 5. October 2011 - 14:57 (80932)
About Lightscreen negative points: To AUTOMATICALLY copy to clipboard go to Advanced folder, and then set the "Copy to screenshot to clipboard" option.
Thanks for removing PicPick from the recommended screen capture tools. I completely agree with the move, as I couldn't have been more unhappy when I realized that I'd gotten the Bing toolbar due to their surreptitious installation process.
Kudos! Great job with the review and plenty of choices. It would be helpful if the links to portable version are also mentioned in the quick selection guide.

Ever since I installed "Screenshot Captor" few hours back, my searches in url bar of Opera (my default browser) are being redirected to ask.com.
Restoring to earlier time didn't help.
I wonder if other's are also facing this problem. Presently I have totally removed "Screenshot Captor" from my computer and have also removed ask.com from the list of search engines options of Opera.

I am surprised that http://www.fiastarta.com/PrtScr/ did not even make any of these lists/reviews so far. In my opinion, it is one of the best, if not the best. Free, stable, efficient, a portable version is very easy to produce, capture, annotate, save to disk, email, print, send to clipboard, auto file name/comment, zoom/quality controls, hot keys, ...etc.

A VirusTotal scan of the download exe for ScreenshotCaptor showed three hits:
eSafe.......18.104.22.168....Suspicious File
A single hit by VirusTotal I generally ignore. But three hits out of 44? Is this download guaranteed virus free?
by MidnightCowboy on 5. October 2011 - 16:06 (80942)
Nothing can be guaranteed virus free. Like you, I always make my own checks and then decide whether to install or not.
Suffers from the same large font bug as many of the others.
Sorry to hear of your issue. I didn't have this problem in Firefox (default), Chrome, or IE9 with Screenshot Captor. Also Ask.com didn't appear in my search engine list.
by jaska (not verified) on 5. October 2011 - 18:53 (80950)
Screenshot Captor extracts, then stops with "Access denied" -box => Installation stops. Same happened with 2 different XP SP3 machines. Both running the same firewall & virus protection sw, though
Thank you. I've corrected my comments.

The best free screen capture utility is still PrintScreen from Gadwin. It's at the bottom of this page: http://www.gadwin.com/download/
Works without complaint on everything from XP to Win7, including 64-bit versions.
by Paladin2 (not verified) on 5. October 2011 - 20:37 (80959)
I'm not in need of anything super fancy but Gadwin has met all my needs and even has the super fancy stuff some feel they need. Regardless of how good any other capture utility may be I still can't see any reason to change and I wonder why Gizmo has all those 3 1/2 star programs listed and no Gadwin. So I'm with you on that. Now if Gizmo would wake up and ditch the three and a half star stuff.
by Cecil Ledbetter (not verified) on 5. October 2011 - 21:26 (80967)
I have really enjoyed a screen capture tool that I have it is not a stand alone screen capture tool but a photo editing tool. The product is Photoscape @ www.photoscape.org. Screen capture is one of many tools that can be found in this package. The capture is by region, window, and full screen. Since it is also a rather powerful photo editing package it is immediately loaded into the edit window once the capture is completed. The file can be saved in multiple formats including all the standard image formats but most useful to me is saving as PDF which can easily then be marked up with any of the freeware PDF editing packages. I like PDF X-change Viewer this package is easy to use and has all the tools I need for marking up the screen capture.
