Ron Paul's supporters helped cause the Republicans' 2012 Election Day drubbing. During the Maine Republican Convention in Augusta in May, they took control of the convention agenda and assumed responsibility for Maine's Republican Party for the 2012 election.
Backers of presidential candidate Ron Paul hang a sign at the Maine Republican Convention in May. The "Paulists" didn't try seriously "to coordinate party resources for victory in either the U.S. Congress or Maine Legislature," thus undermining the prospects of Maine's Republican candidates on Election Day, a reader says.
2012 File Photo/Kennebec Journal
What did they do with this power? Did they transcend factions and earn the respect of the rest of our diverse party? Absolutely not! Instead, they demonized dissent.
These members of a tiny but well-organized minority-of-a-minority served their faction's narrow interests. That is all, nothing else. Their political narcissism made them resist every non-Ron Paul Republican initiative in 2012.
Not one Republican candidate for office in either Washington or Augusta was given speaking time at the convention. After May, no serious effort was made by the Paulist leadership to coordinate party resources for victory in either the U.S. Congress or Maine Legislature.
Instead, they made a spectacle of themselves, focusing all of their energy on their successful efforts to overturn the results of February's Republican caucuses. They loudly agitated for their faction to take exclusive control over all of Maine's seats at the Republican National Convention. Their great achievement was minor discord on the floor of the RNC.
Worst of all, the Paulist leadership withheld endorsement of Mitt Romney, expressing continuing opposition to his policies. In doing so, they gave material support to the Obama campaign.
Whether motivated by anti-Mormon bigotry, Paulist factionalism or some other factor, fewer Republicans voted for Romney than voted for John McCain. Nationally, this may have been the key to President Obama's victory. In Maine, the Ron Paul faction simultaneously led Maine's Republican Party and sabotaged Maine's Republican candidates.
The Ron Paul leadership has earned a firm rebuke from every non-Paulist Republican. The disastrous effects of their selfish words and actions demand nothing less.

Webster's remarks insult both town, party officials
Charlie Webster needs to broaden and deepen his apology for his "'comments ... made without proof of wrongdoing'" ("Webster apologizes for comments made about black voters," Nov. 16).
His reference to "perceived voting irregularities" casts aspersions on our town clerks who require proof of ID -- driver's license, passport, Social Security card -- and then evidence of residency -- a utility bill to you at your local address, copy of deed or lease, auto insurance policy showing local address, UPS/FedEx package to you at local address, etc., before the person is allowed to approach the ballot area with a form to add to the check-in lists.
Then he casts aspersions on the local people from different political party affiliations who give 12 hours-plus of their time to setting up and breaking down the polls, manning the ballot area and then carefully summarizing the results together.
That they would give a ballot to one person, much less dozens, not eligible to vote is an insult to their integrity. Aspersions also go to any political party poll watchers who stood by and let the fraudulent votes happen.
Does Mr. Webster "perceive" that all of these many good people are somehow in collusion to allow fraudulent votes to be cast? Aspersions go to his ability to reason.
So, "without proof of wrongdoing" and only "perceived ... irregularities" that show his ignorance or lack of regard for the process and the people, he singles out "dozens of black people" as fraudulent voters. Should his remarks incite a revival of the Ku Klux Klan in Maine, he should be charged with a hate crime.

Maine crew helped bring New Yorker back to light
Although Sandy left my neighborhood without power for 13 days, I would like to wholeheartedly thank the two crews of workers who restored that power. The tree crew was from Maine, and the electrical crew was from Michigan.
I place no blame on you for the Long Island Power Authority's shortcomings and mishandling of this disaster and the follow-up nor'easter. I hope you are able to return to Long Island in the near future and take in all of its beauty.

'Slanted View' of Geffen overlooks his philanthropy
I'm writing in response to John Spritz's view of David Geffen's yacht ("A Slanted View," Nov. 17). I think it's important that the readers of the Press Herald be aware that Mr. Geffen is not the money-grubbing, baby seal-beating anti-Christ that Mr. Spritz's Nov. 17 illustration implies.
Mr. Geffen is actually a very prominent philanthropist. He is a large contributor to the fight against AIDS. He gave a $200 million endowment to the UCLA School of Medicine. He has also employed thousands of people.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. As of 2002, he has given all of his earnings to charity.
What have you done, Mr. Spritz?

Corporation not the only player in Hostess' failure
I'm not sure which is worse: the quote from Biddeford Mayor Alan Casavant regarding the closure of the Hostess bakery ("The grinch has come back in the form of a corporation") or the outsized pullout the editorial staff at the Press Herald decided to give to this quote ("Bankruptcy judge approves quick closing of Hostess," Nov. 21).
The failure of Hostess stems from a series of poor decisions made by people. Executives, managers, employees and their union representatives all contributed to the demise of this business.
Soon, the brands and equipment will be purchased by a new corporation that will likely revive many of the lost jobs.
Will the Press Herald run a front-page story with a giant pullout quote from Casavant thanking the new corporation that buys the assets of Hostess? Or will Biddeford's mayor and the editors at the Press Herald learn that someone other than Santa Claus provides jobs?

Standing in the street mournfully staring at what used to be your home can leave a person struggling to take the next step. Do you know where, or how, to start rebuilding? Homeowners insurance covers such a wide range of property and liability scenarios, including but not limited to; damage by fire or vandalism to an individual being injured on your property. There are also many types of losses and events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods or "Acts of God" which can be excluded unless specific insurance coverage is in place. It is truly important to have a firm understanding of your policy. Learn more about this vast and sometimes confusing topic with Attorney Alan Garfinkel on November 20th at 2 PM ET (1 Central, 11 Pacific) and start rebuilding.
ALAN GARFINKEL is one of the founders of Katzman Garfinkel & Berger, a statewide community association law firm in Florida.

Holcomb and Langton in medal contention at two-man bobsled World Championships
Photo credit: Charlie Booker
ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (Jan. 26, 2013)-Steven Holcomb (Park City, Utah) and Steve Langton (Melrose, Mass.) raced the BMW sled to third position after the first day of men's two-man bobsled World Championships in St. Moritz this morning. With two more solid runs tomorrow, USA-1 can secure a spot on the medal stand.
"We're hoping to throw down tomorrow to move up in the standings," Holcomb said. "We're going to put it all on the line and try to win this thing."
Holcomb and Langton made history by winning the first two-man title for the U.S. program last season, and while the 2013 title is 0.77 seconds from their reach after the first day of competition, Holcomb is happy to be in medal position. He's never finished better than fourth on the St. Moritz track in his 15-year sliding career.
Alexander Zubkov and his brakeman Dmitry Trunenkov made their best effort to block USA-1 from a top-three finish after day one. RUS-1 and USA-1 clocked identical start and finish times of 5.12 and 1:06.06, respectively, in the first heat to tie for third. RUS-1 bettered their start by 0.03 seconds to challenge USA-1 in the second heat. Holcomb threaded together a speedy run to not only take back the hundredths of a second lost at the start, but to gain 0.03 seconds by the finish.
"I thought for sure Zubkov was going to get me by a hundredth and that we'd be in fourth again," Holcomb said. "I was really happy to be the one with the extra hundredths in the bank, and it's so nice to break the fourth place curse. So far, so good."
Holcomb decided to compete in the BMW bobsled prototype after the sled clocked the fastest speeds during training this week. He made a gutsy decision to race the sled out of the box without any training in last weekend's World Cup in Igls, Austria to get a few race runs in the sled prior to World Championships.
"We're on our way up," Holcomb said. "There's still some work to be done because it's in the baby phase of development, but I made some minor modifications to the sled this week and it's running fast."
Germans Francesco Friedrich and Jannis Baecker have a comfortable lead of 0.35 seconds heading into the final runs tomorrow. Friedrich dominated the field in both heats and is the overnight leader with a two-run total of 2:11.10. Beat Hefti and Thomas Lamparter are in silver medal position after posting a total time of 2:11.45 on their home track.
Cory Butner (Yucaipa, Calif.) continues to establish himself as one of the emerging two-man pilots on tour. Butner teamed with Olympic push athlete Chris Fogt (Alpine, Utah) for start times of 5.19 and 5.17 and runs of 1:06.22 and 1:05.97, respectively. USA-2 wraps up the first day of racing in seventh position, and are just 0.16 seconds from a top-six result.
Soldier-athletes Nick Cunningham (Monterey, Calif.) and Dallas Robinson (Georgetown, Ky.) raced the National Guard sled to 13th position. USA-3 pushed identical start times of 5.16 seconds in their World Championship debut today. Cunningham navigated two decent runs of 1:06.44 and 1:06.10, and the crew's two-run total of 2:12.54 is within reach of the top-10.
World Championship racing continues today with the deciding final runs of the women's bobsled event at 12:45 p.m. local time. Please contact Amanda Bird, USBSF Marketing & Communications Director, at email@example.com or 518-354-2250 with media inquiries.
Results (Heats 1 & 2):
1. Francesco Friedrich and Jannis Baecker (GER) 2:11.10 (1:05.59, 1:05.51); 2. Beat Hefti and Thomas Lamparter (SUI) 2:11.45 (1:05.79, 1:05.66); 3. Steven Holcomb and Steve Langton (USA) 2:11.87 (1:06.06, 1:05.81);…7. Cory Butner and Chris Fogt (USA) 2:12.19 (1:06.22, 1:05.97);…13. Nick Cunningham and Dallas Robinson (USA) 2:12.54 (1:06.44, 1:06.10);

But on Saturday afternoon at Sam Boyd Stadium, Boise State put to rest its field goal woes, for one game anyway, as Michael Frisina connected on a 27-yard kick with 1:16 to play in the fourth quarter for a 28-26 win over Washington.
"I thought third time's the charm," linebacker J.C. Percy said. "I knew Fris was going to make it."
"I knew I made it the time I hit it," Frisina said. "I don't know where it ended up, I just know it went through the goalposts.
"That's all that matters."
Frisina was 3-for-3 on field goals, including from a career-best 34 yards out early in the first quarter. It was the longest Boise State kick since Nov. 19, 2010, one week before the 34-31 overtime loss at Nevada.
Boise State head coach Chris Petersen had met with Frisina on Monday to make sure the senior was ready for what was expected to be a close game, though it was envisioned as a defensive battle between teams both ranked in the top 35 nationally in yards allowed.
"I was prepared because he was like, 'I think this is going to come down to a couple kicks,' and sure enough it did," Frisina said.
Frisina had never kicked a game-winner, let alone attempted one at any level of football. The closest he had come was a fourth-quarter try to go up by 10, Frisina said.
Instead, there he was on the right hash after Shane Williams-Rhodes returned a kickoff 47 yards down the Boise State (11-2) to the Washington 42 and four D.J. Harper runs and three Joe Southwick passes and one run picked up another 32 yards.
Frisina calmly made the kick, one that means "everything" to him, he said.
"It is every kicker's dream to hit a game-winning field goal," Frisina said. "For this one to come in my last collegiate game, the last game of my career, I couldn't ask for anything more."
Petersen said he was more concerned about the mechanics of getting the ball down rather than Frisina's kick with long snapper Chris Roberson suspended for a violation of team rules.
Sophomore backup Kevin Keane got the ball away cleanly, redshirt sophomore holder Matt Miller got it down cleanly, and Frisina put it through for Boise State's fifth consecutive season of 11 or more wins and third consecutive MAACO Bowl win.
It also set the stage for 2013, as Southwick delivered another strong performance. After struggling early on this season as the successor to Kellen Moore, college football's winning quarterback, the redshirt junior completed 26-of-38 passes for 264 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions.
Southwick also rediscovered his mobility, something that had been lacking much to Petersen's consternation. Southwick carried the ball 11 times for 39 yards, converting three third-downs with his legs and extending several other plays.
"He has finally figured out that he has legs and he knows how to run," Petersen said "He came in here as a good athlete and somehow getting through our program he has turned into a bad athlete, in his mind at least. He needs to do more of that. Everybody knows a scrambling quarterback can crush you, and he made some big plays there. His whole game was extremely clean."
Southwick admitted he had been in a "robot mode" at times this season, trying to stay in the pocket and go through his progressions instead of taking off even at the expense of a positive play.
"Just going back to my instincts of just playing football, it was awesome being able to use them," Southwick said.
That was the progression Boise State made all season, the development that both Southwick and Petersen were pleased to see.
"I think the whole season our M.O. on offense was just get better," Southwick said. "The most satisfying thing about this season is each week you saw us get a little better, each position group.
"In the last three or four games, it really showed. We were really executing at a high level as an offense."
Said Petersen: "It's been a hard season, but what has been really satisfying is going to practice with these guys. They don't go through the motions. They have shown up and they try to get better."
There was no better example than Frisina. He made 15-of-20 field goals on the season, making 11 of his last 13 attempts and ending with Boise State career making his last six kicks.
"What a game. This guy came out," said Southwick, slapping Frisina on the shoulder, "ice in his veins, and knocked it through."

Answer: Every ISU student eligible to receive a 1098-T will have electronic access to their form by January 31st. Mailed forms will be post-marked by January 31st and will be sent to the mailing address in the University's records as of the post-mark date. To access your 1098-T through your MyISU Portal and follow the steps below.
Answer: Box 1 (Payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses) is blank because ISU reports "Amounts billed" instead. The IRS provides the option for universities to report either "Payments received" in Box 1 OR "Amounts billed" in Box 2, but not both (refer to Page 14 of IRS Publication 970 for details). ISU has elected to report "Amounts billed". However, the tax credits are based on the amount of qualified tuition and related expenses actually paid. Please refer to your Account Summary on the MyISU Portal and determine the amount of qualified tuition and related expenses that you actually paid during the calendar year when computing your credit.
Answer: Box 2 (Amounts billed for qualified tuition and related expenses) reflects the "qualified tuition and expenses" billed to your account during the tax year. "Qualified tuition and expenses", as defined by the IRS, includes tuition and related fees that are required for enrollment or attendance by the University. Examples of those fees include the transportation fee, technology fee and lab fees. Box 2 WILL NOT include expenses billed for room and board.
Answer: Box 4 (Adjustments made for a prior year) reflects any refunds of tuition and fees billed in a previous tax year that you may have received in the current tax year. The amount in Box 4 may reduce any allowable education credit you claimed for a prior year. For more information, refer to "When Must the Credit be Repaid (Recaptured)" for the American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning credits in IRS Publication 970: Tax Benefits for Education.
Answer: Box 5 (Scholarships or grants) reflects any scholarships or grants applied to your account during the calendar year. Tax credits cannot be claimed for tuition expenses paid with tax-free funds. Credit can be claimed, however, for tuition expenses paid with loans of any type. In the case where both sources of funds are used to pay both tuition and housing expenses, all tax-free aid is presumed by the IRS to be applied to tuition expenses first. The exception to this rule would be a scholarship or grant specifically designated by the grantor to be used for housing, books or other non-tuition expenses.
Answer: Box 6 (Adjustments to scholarships or grants for a prior year) reflects any adjustments of scholarships or grants that were originally applied in a previous tax year. Adjustments of scholarships or grants shown in Box 6 could affect an education credit filed in a previous tax year. It is recommended to contact your tax preparer for advice.
Answer: If there is a check mark in Box 7, it means that Box 2 will include billed tuition and fees for an academic semester that began in the new tax year. For instance, the ISU Spring semester begins in January, but the tuition and fees for that semester are billed in December. The billing and the time of instruction take place in two different tax years. This does not occur with the Fall or Summer semesters, which are billed and take place in the same tax year.
Answer: If there is a check mark in Box 8, it means that you were considered at least a half-time student during the tax year. At ISU, "at least half-time" is considered to be 6 or more credit hours in a semester.
Answer: If you believe there is an error on your 1098-T, you can email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or call (812-237-3523 or 812-237-8701) the Office of the Controller.
Answer: You may be eligible for one of two education credits allowed by the IRS. The American Opportunity Credit is available for students for the first four years of postsecondary education. The credit provides up to $2,500 (100% of the first $2,000 in qualified tuition & related expenses, and 25% of the next $2,000). The American Opportunity Credit is calculated on eligible expenses paid during the 2011 calendar year. To be eligible for the credit, the student must be enrolled at least half time for at least one academic period at a qualified educational institution.
The Lifetime Learning Credit is a less restrictive tax credit of up to $2,000 (20% of the first $10,000 of qualified tuition and related expenses) per return (the American Opportunity Credit is per student). The Lifetime Learning Credit is also calculated on eligible expenses paid during the 2011 calendar year.
There are other provisions and requirements that should be reviewed before claiming the American Opportunity or the Lifetime Learning Credits on your tax return. ISU may not provide tax or legal advice and therefore cannot determine if you qualify for one of the credits. If you believe that you qualify for the American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning Credits, consult your tax advisor, or contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. For your reference, we have provided some helpful links below.
IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education, for use in preparing 2011 returns.
NACUBO's Education Tax Credit site provides information on both tax credits, as well as information about some of the other provisions of the Taxpayer Relief Act. It also has some links to various IRS publications. See "Resources for Students" on this page. NACUBO is the National Association of College and University Business Officers.

Origami probabilty problem
Say you have identical sheets of paper, and you take one sheet and make a random crease in that sheet of paper, what is the probability that if someone else folds a random crease in one of the other sheets that it will be the exact same crease. I figured it would be 1/infinity, but what If the second person was allowed to make 5 random creases in the second sheet what would the probability that 1 of those creases was identical to the original crease... 5/infinity?
#2 2012-12-04 05:06:30
Re: Origami probabilty problem
In practice, creases are not infinitely thin so I think the probabliity is not 1/∞, but rather some very small fraction that depends on the paper etc.

Yes, both probabilities are zero.

text: Checkoff Work in Nigeria Pays Big Dividends for U.S. Wheat Growers African nation was the largest purchaser of U.S. wheat this year. Published on: Oct 14, 2011 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The people of Nigeria are eating more bread, pasta, cookies and crackers each year thanks in part to U.S. wheat growers and the work of U.S. Wheat Associates. It's a story that started nearly 25 years ago when the Nigerian government instituted a ban on wheat imports, devastating the country's flour milling industry. But U.S. Wheat Associates kept in close contact and when the ban was lifted in 1992, USW Assistant Regional Director for Sub-Saharan Africa Gerald Theus says USW was first in line to help Nigerian millers and bakers rebuild and expand. "When the ban was lifted we already had a very great report with Nigerian millers, they came right to the United States," Theus said. "The reason they keep coming back to us is our technical assistance, our trade servicing that's made possible in part by the farmer's checkoff funds, apart from the producer just producing a good quality wheat." Flour milling is now the second largest industry in Nigeria and it depends on high quality U.S. wheat. Theus says the Nigerians have great respect for the many years of dedicated USW service and the consistently high quality of U.S. wheat, which is why they're a loyal market. "They have a lot of competitors knocking on their door from day to day," Theus said. "It is that technical assistance, trade servicing visits; we bring them back to the states each year for trade team visits where they go and can talk face to face with producers in the states. All of that has really has cemented a very strong and dynamic relationship between the Nigerian milling industry and U.S. producers." In fact, USW and Nigerian millers have worked together to create new, more convenient wheat food products for Nigeria's growing urban population, and per capita wheat consumption in the country has more than tripled since 1995. People are now using flour-based products like pasta and noodles because it's a convenient, fast, on-the-go kind of food. Pasta and noodle plants are springing up all over the country. USW President Alan Tracy says it all adds up to a great success story as Nigeria is a 90% U.S. wheat market and actually was the largest purchaser of U.S. wheat during the past year, buying over $1 billion of wheat. Kansas wheat farmer Ron Suppes, a former USW Chairman, says that makes a bottom-line difference for U.S. wheat growers. Nigeria is among the world's top wheat importing nations, importing more than 110 million bushels of U.S. wheat each year. But without the work of USW, funded by U.S. wheat growers and USDA, Nigeria might only import about $37 million bushels. It's estimated losses like that in the Nigerian market alone could reduce U.S. farm gate prices by 15 cents per bushel.

Lieutenant colonel, former student killed
Published: Monday, July 2, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 21:07
An Aggie was killed Thursday at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
Authorities said 42-year-old Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale, Class of 1992, died immediately after being shot during a safety briefing, according to The Associated Press.
The shooter and fellow soldier, Spc. Ricky Elder, turned the gun on himself after firing on Tisdale. Elder died Friday after undergoing treatment.
A statement from Fort Bragg said Elder, an infantryman, had been charged recently with larceny of a toolkit valued at $1,700 and had been awaiting court martial at the time of the shootings.
Tisdale took command of the Fort Bragg-based 525th Brigade Special Troops Battalion in January.
He was commissioned as an infantry officer after graduating in 1993 from Texas A&M with a bachelor's degree in animal science. Tisdale was in Company D-2 of the Corps of Cadets.
Funeral services for Tisdale will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, July 5, at Central Baptist Church in College Station, followed by a burial at the Aggie Field of Honor. The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to a memorial fund that will help his children pay for college. Donations can be made through PayPal to the following email address: email@example.com.

About Ju-Ju-Be
Ju-Ju-Be was started by the dynamic duo of diaper bags. Why did they start up a whole new brand? Because despite the great fashion (and even some great features) of the other brands, there were still some things lacking. No one had put to use the latest in technology. No one had successfully acted on the idea that fashion and function aren't mutually exclusive. No one else had delved into the deep realm of microbes and anti-stick coatings. Everyone else says that diaper bags aren't rocket science. Ju-Ju-Be thinks they can be. Along with being a lot of fun.
Ju-Ju-Be supports Breast Cancer Awareness and donates a portion of their bag sales to Breast Cancer Awareness charities.

CALERA, AL – The North Georgia men's golf team carded a school record, two-round total of 578 (293-285) to steamroll the competition en route to capturing their first victory of the year at the Montevallo Invitational held at the par-71 Timberline Golf Club.
The Saints topped their school record for lowest scoring round, which they set in round one, by eight strokes. The 36-hole aggregate score of 578 tops the previous record of 603 shot at the Lander Beercat Classic held last March by 25 strokes.
The first place finish was the first for North Georgia since last October when they won the Mountain Lion Invitational.
The Saints defeated second place Catawba College by 14 strokes, while host Montevallo and Birmingham Southern finished third and fourth respectively. The top four scorers for North Georgia all finished in the top 10.
As a team, the Saints recorded 30 birdies and they were the lowest scoring team on the par 3's and par 4's.
Wilson McDonald of UAB was the only player to shoot under-par in both rounds and narrowly defeated North Georgia's Howard Duffin by one stroke. Montevallo's Andrew Lowery finished in third with Birmingham Souhern's Landon Michelson and North Georgia's Aaron George rounding out the top five.
Duffin set a school record in the final round of the tournament, firing a four-under-par 67. Duffin's two round total of 138 (71, 67) is also a school record. For the tournament, Duffin recorded the most birdies (12) and was the low scorer in par 4's (-4).
Aaron George finished his second tournament as a member of the Saints with an even par 71, giving him a two-day total of 145 (74, 71) good enough for sole possession of fifth place. The even-par 71 is George's lowest round as a member of the Saints.
Sophomore Grant Rish followed up an opening round 71 with a four-over-par 75, giving him a two-day total 146. Rish finished just one stroke behind teammate George for sole possession of sixth place. Rish recorded six birdies and 22 pars, while shooting one-under-par on the par 5's.
Will Brackett wrapped up his first collegiate tournament with a one-over-par 72, giving him a two-day total of 149 (77,72). Bracket finished the Montevallo Invitational in a tie for 10th place. He also led all members of the team with 25 pars.
Benjamin Jarrard ended his first tournament of the fall with a two-day total of 165 (82, 83) good enough for sole possession of 31st place.
The Saints return to the links on October 16, when they travel to Florida to take part in the 54-hole Will Wilson Intercollegiate.

In an action-packed night, the NHL saw many players and teams that strived, while others faltered. Here are the Studs and Duds for Thursday, November 10th.
3) Scriven' Big
At the moment, the Toronto Maple Leafs are in a slight state of panic. On Saturday, Tim Connolly was injured, joining Colby Armstrong on the injured reserve, hurting Toronto's depth at forward. However, the most catastrophic injury goes to James Reimer, who has not returned after being sidelined in mid-October. With the loss of Reimer, the Leafs have struggled to find wins, with Jonas Gustavsson being horrendous in the majority of his starts. However, Ben Scrivens has seen ice time due to the open roster spot, and has been inconsistent, with flashes of brilliance. On Thursday against the Blues, his flash was more evident than ever.
Scrivens stopped 38 of 40 shots en route to a 3-2 victory, the second of his young career. While a .950 save percentage is quite respectable, Scrivens' play throughout the game was not indicative of the stellar goaltending he showed. In a game where he got no help from the offense (that recorded an abysmal 8 shots through the latter two-thirds of the game), Scrivens came up big at opportune times. Making clutch stops such as this glove save, this Cornell alumni is fully responsible for the victory, and ultimately 2 points on the standings.
2) "Verbeauty"
Kris Versteeg has had an interesting road in his short NHL career. Only 25 years old, "Verbeauty" won a stanley cup in Chicago, before being moved to 3 teams in a span of one year. Failing to find his niche in Toronto and Philadelphia, Kris packed his bags to go to Florida. Optimistic, he told reporters he was "taking is toe drag to South Beach". Versteeg embraced this opportunity, and was destined to help the Florida Panthers win games. After tonight, LeBron James should take notes.
Versteeg recorded a hat trick and an assist for a 4 point night, the only one recorded on Thursday. While they weren't particularly spectacular, Versteeg took advantage of fortunate bounces, and worked hard to earn this difficult feat. If Versteeg continues to have nights like these, Tallon will be considered a genius for acquiring this sniper for his hockey club.
1) Comeback Kids
Depending on who you ask, one of the most difficult situations in hockey is the dreaded 3-0 deficit. At this point, the game is still within reach, but still a long shot of winning. In Denver, the New York Islanders had the Avalanche at this point, and were all of 21 seconds away from entering the 3rd period with a 3 goal lead. However, Colorado had different plans.
Starting with a powerplay goal by Paul Stastny with 21 seconds remaining in the 2nd period, the Avalanche exploded. On a total of 51 shots throughout the game on a flustered Al Montoya, the Avs added 3 more goals to win 4-3 in overtime. The mindset of a 3-0 deficit is difficult to overcome, but the talented Avalanche squad was able to prevail. Considered a bottom 5 team heading into the season, their 8-7-1 record has surprised many. An exciting team to watch, the Avs are keeping fans happy, and attempting to prove all critics wrong. Wins like this will keep the "haters" away, at least for another night.
3) Pava"Let in 4 Goals"
As a goaltender in the NHL, there will be great nights, good nights, and bad nights. Ondrej Pavelec just had himself a very bad night. Stopping only 11 of 15 shots, Pavelec recorded a save percentage of .733, leading to an early exit for the young goaltender.
For Jets fans, nights like these have to be upsetting. Pavelec has had games in which he has been fantastic, like his shutout against the Islanders. However, there have been many nights where he has not performed to a high level, like his matchup against the Flyers. Hopefully, he is able to bounce back from this night in his next start. It's likely growing pains, but more bad starts from Pavelec could ultimately lead to less games played, and many questions from the coaching staff about Pavelec's ability to be a star goaltender in the league.
2) Ruined Homecoming
In a span of a few days, the San Jose Sharks and the Minnesota Wild changed the makeshift of their teams for years to come. In 2 separate deals, the Wild received Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi, while the Sharks receives Martin Havlat and Brent Burns. In a great deal for both sides, the two teams met on Thursday in Northern California. Heatley and Setoguchi were determined to spark a fire and beat the Sharks, in the arena that they used to call home.
Unfortunately, the flame burned out. In a pathetic showing by the former Sharks, Heatley and Setoguchi combined for 1 shot and 2 minor penalties. To rub salt in the wound, Burns and Havlat played fairly well in their 3-1 victory. There will be more match-ups between the two hockey clubs, but the Sharks ousted the Wild, embarrassing Heatley in Setoguchi in front of their former home crowd.
1) Fallen Superstars
The top "dud" goes to members of the Columbus Blue Jackets. This, however, does not go to the entire team. As I know, the abysmal team that is the Blue Jackets has been beaten to death. The poor goaltending, the inability to win games, and the lack of defensive/offensive initiative has stuck the Jackets with 2 wins in 15 games. However, the main focus of today's studs does not go to the team as a whole, but two superstars that take up over 20% of Columbus' cap space.
Rick Nash and James Wisniewski were god-awful tonight. The Blackhawks scored 6 goals against the Jackets on Thursday, 2 of which came on the powerplay. Wisniewski and Nash combined for a total of -7, with James totalling a -4. The two leaders have seemed to lost all motivation and self confidence. Both players now sit at a -9, and Wisniewski is now only 1 of 2 players (the second being Eric Staal) to have a +/- under -7 that has a lower rating than the amount of games played. It's absolutely pathetic, and more needs to be expected out of these two players.
Points of Interest
- Gabriel Landeskog played 22 minutes of hockey tonight. He led all Colorado Forwards in that department.
- The Toronto Maple Leafs recorded 3 shots in the 3rd period.
- The Winnipeg Jets recorded 4 shots in the 1st.
- Mark Letestu scored in his first game as a Jacket.

What are you wanting to do with it????
Well, I did get that P99 about a month ago - sent off the slide 2 weeks ago to get hard chromed and got it back today - so it's like a new gun all over again
Last one was a XD Tactical in 40S&W - Won at a raffle... Still aint shot it yet.....
Haven't shot a new gun! WHAT?!?! - Go check into the hospital right nowOriginally Posted by Clyde
Shoot it!Originally Posted by jwkimber45
Some body call the doctor for the boy. Hurry.!!!!
Glad I found another place to brag. I finally bought my S & W - M & P 40 at the Denton Texas gun show at a great price, $409.95. I've been buzzing on this gun for months and finally found one at the right price. I've already ranted on this forum under The Smith & Wesson Thread.
Can't get to the range until next week though. In the mean time I have cleaned the factory gook out of it & ordered my third free S & W range bag.
Cool. The M&P seems to be a very nice gun. Congrats!
Well, as I mentioned in another discussion, I got a used Sig 239 this last week.
I'd promised myself that I wasn't going to do it.. I had found a used SIG SP2340. which is a great gun, and was trying to be satisfied with that. Even managed to keep my 'gun budget' square (traded in a shotgun I wasn't using for the 2340) , but I've wanted a 239 for quite some time - even harassed Shipwreck about where he'd seen one in a shop - but I stood firm and told myself 'NO'.
Then I saw a package offered on another forum; included a used 239, three sets of grips, a 357 SIG barrel and 7 factory magazines.
I told myself 'NO' some more, then found myself sending the fellow an email saying I'd take it. Egad.
I console myself. I'm giving up cigars (insert sympathetic noises here ) and it's not too many boxes of good cigars and I've paid for the 239.
Luckily, I live on a ranch - when I want a cigar, I pick up a pistol and a box of ammo and punish the buckbrush. MUCH more satisfying.
BTW, finally got a chance to shoot it - I'm as accurate with this little pistol as I am with my full-sized guns...as long as I remember to keep my eye on the front sight.

Well, I picked up my 4" S&W 686P today. Shot about 600-700 rounds through it. Deadly accurate and creamy smooth trigger. I shot double and single action with both .38 Specials and 357's. Accuracy was about the same either way. I don't have a lot of experience to base my opinion on, but this gun is way easier to shoot than my nephew's Security Six. The trigger guard on the Ruger kept nailing my index finger with .357's. My 686P never got my index finger even once and I was shooting Winchester's 125 gr and 158 gr .357's through it. Very smooth and accurate gun. Definitely a keeper.
Picked up a new XD9 Tac this week end--hope to get it to the range this week.
Pictures Ron and you other guys. I want to see all this neat hardware evrybody is getting. Don't for get range report.
I got myself a Sigp220C last week, I get to pick it up tomorrow!

I have the 6" barrel 686P. It's the best shooting pistol I own (out of 9) especially on single action with any load.Anyone considering purchasing a revolver should checkout the S & W 686. I agree it's a keeper.Originally Posted by bambam

Textbook battles have been fought over such varied subjects as how to interpret the Civil War (or War Between the States, as one set of activists put it) and how to teach the origins of man (or creationism versus evolution). In these struggles, both sides are passionate in their positions and do not take defeat lightly. As a consequence, textbook publishers, seeking access to large markets, often water-down the subject to make them more acceptable to their target audience.
Last week, this page took note of the common-sense decisions the Alabama State Board of Education made regarding the Common Core standards. At approximately the same time, the school board made another common-sense decision that should not be ignored.
In 2013, the board was treated to a new textbook charge when "concerned citizens" asked that some books be removed from the list of approved social studies texts because they have a pro-Islamic bias and do not give sufficient credit to the role Christianity has played in history and society.
Let's be practical. What textbook publisher wanting to make a profit would try to sell a pro-Islamic, anti-Christian textbook to Alabama? If from nothing other than a business perspective, it makes no sense.
Because making sense is fast becoming the hallmark of this board, by a vote 5-2 it approved the list of some 500 social studies textbooks that may be used in public schools. The list included the books that had been challenged. The only book removed from the list was taken off because, according to State Superintendent of Education Tommy Bice, it was "an unintentional duplicate."
It's not surprising that board members Betty Peters of Kinsey and Stephanie Bell of Montgomery opposed the decision. When these conspiracy-spotting naysayers tried to amend the list to remove the books they did not like, their amendment was voted down.
So, for the second time in a few weeks, common sense won out over ideological hysteria on the Alabama State Board of Education.
Well done.

HALLOWELL – Authorities searched the home of Barbara Cameron on Tuesday as part of a nationwide manhunt for her ex-husband, James Cameron.
U.S. Marshals Service investigators search the residence of Barbara Cameron, the ex-wife of fugitive James Cameron, Tuesday afternoon in Hallowell. Authorities on Tuesday continued to hunt for Cameron, Maine's former top drug prosecutor, who cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and fled on Thuesday, after learning his appeal of child pornography convictions had partially failed.

At least 10 officers from local and federal agencies searched the house and garage.
James Cameron, Maine's former top drug prosecutor, was free on bail pending his appeal of 13 federal child pornography convictions when he cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and fled last week.
Cameron, 50, was facing 15 years in federal prison – the rest of a 16-year sentence imposed in March 2011 – because a federal appeals court had issued a ruling Nov. 14 that upheld seven of his convictions.
After the ruling, Cameron went to his ex-wife's home and told his son that he was going back to jail, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Bangor.
Then he went to his rural home in Rome. By early Thursday, he had cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and fled.
Federal marshals got an alert at 1:47 a.m. Thursday that Cameron had left his house without authorization. They tried to call him; he didn't answer. They tried again between 7 and 8 a.m.
When they went to his home at 10:30 a.m., Cameron was gone.
Authorities said Tuesday that from the time the alarm sounded until their visit to Cameron's house, they worked to determine whether Cameron had violated his bail conditions.
Any conclusion that officials waited to check on Cameron "is not really accurate," said Donald Clark, assistant U.S. attorney. "From the moment they were aware he was missing, they were attempting to contact him and then locate him."
The U.S. Marshals Service got a warrant for Cameron's arrest later Thursday and spent days searching for him before publicly announcing the manhunt Monday afternoon.
Authorities say they believe Cameron was driving his car, a tan Audi A6, which is missing.
Law enforcement authorities across the country have been told to look for Cameron.
Cameron's whereabouts were to be monitored electronically and he was required to have a land line at his home to do so, under a court order setting conditions for his release.
Karen-Lee Moody, chief of U.S. Probation & Pretrial Services, declined to talk about Cameron Tuesday. However, she said many things can trigger an alert.
"Any time we get an alert, we have to make sure it's for real," she said.
She said that when an alert is received from the monitoring company – BI Inc. – officers verify that it is not because of equipment failure or a health issue.
"We don't just get an alert and file a warrant (for arrest)," Moody said.
Moody said her office was aware that a three-judge panel of the U.S. 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had denied Cameron's appeal, but nothing about that decision raised Cameron's risk level.
"Every case we have is a high-risk case," Moody said. "There's no such thing as a low awareness or low-risk location monitoring case."
Cameron was being monitored by radio frequency technology. Moody said her office is now monitoring 21 people in Maine – 17 of them on radio frequency monitoring and four on GPS technology.
William Bales, a professor in the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Florida State University, did a study on the effectiveness of electronic monitoring. He said in an interview Tuesday that GPS monitoring technology is more effective than radio frequency, which is tethered to a land line.
While GPS "is pretty darn effective, it's not perfect," Bales said. "If an offender decides to cut off an ankle bracelet and flee, we can't control that."
Bales theorized that if Cameron had been on GPS monitoring and removed the bracelet, it would have been known immediately. "With radio frequency, they don't know where you are every second of the day," he said.
Moody said GPS monitoring cannot always be used in heavily wooded and remote areas. Cameron's home in Rome is on a dirt road in woods.
Cameron came under investigation after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reported that Yahoo! had found multiple images of child pornography in an account belonging to Cameron's wife.
He was indicted on child pornography charges in February 2009 and convicted on 13 counts in August 2010.
When he was sentenced in March 2011, Cameron had already spent six months in federal prison, and the time hadn't kind to him.
He was pale and thinner than before he had gone to jail, his graying hair longer and shaggier than during his 18 years as a prosecutor for the state. He had to hold up the rear of his pants when he stood.
He had appealed to the court several times for release, claiming "his long-term employment as a state prosecutor ... makes him extremely vulnerable in prison."
A federal appeals court granted that request in August 2011, ordering him freed while his convictions were under appeal and telling the trial judge, U.S. District Court Judge John A. Woodcock Jr., to set bail conditions. The conditions included electronic monitoring, a curfew and monitoring of Cameron's laptop.
Until Nov. 14, officers with U.S. Probation & Pretrial Services said Cameron had complied with the conditions.
Last week's appeals court ruling changed nothing about Cameron's bail conditions, Clark said. Only a judge could change those conditions, and it's not unusual for defendants – particularly in child pornography cases – to get bail pending appeal.
Clark said Cameron has not received special treatment because he was an attorney.
Clark said the court case continues, and the prosecutor's office has received an extension until Dec. 28 to file a petition seeking a review by the full 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"Right now the only problem is he is accused of violating bail," Clark said. "The first order of business is to locate Mr. Cameron."

Hello, I'm Hillary, one of the new Wornettes; I'm looking forward to researching and copy-editing like a 12th grader again! I just finished my foundation year at OCAD, so in September I will start really getting into my program: textiles. My ultimate goal is to create beautiful, soft, jersey with fantastic prints. I can never find printed jersey, and it kills me.
I strive to pursue my love of fashion ethically by shopping locally, fair trade, and vintage. I have boycotted sweatshop-made clothing for nearly two years, but had a moment of weakness recently when I spent a month in China… can you really expect me to turn down a $10
chiffon baby doll? This social consciousness has been supported through working at Lilith, where all the clothes are produced in Toronto. Here I can fuel my addiction to clothing and calm my guilty conscience. I pick up inspiration everywhere: from photo shoots in Vogue, to the ever-changing styles of my idiosyncratic friends. I also have an insatiable love for Project Runway, and adore seeing the process as well as the finished garment. I'm extremely excited to be involved with WORN, because they write about fashion the way I want to read it.
Current Inspirations:
Vintage Sewing
An amazing resource for any sewer, this site has vintage sewing books that have fallen under the public domain painstakingly typed out and scanned for our pleasure. The books date back as far as 1893.
A really well curated blog with fantastic, and often hilarious, house wares, artworks, vintage photos, and pieces of clothing. I also have great respect for her shared love of owls.
Green Porno
Learn something from the lovely Isabella Rossellini while being entertained. While you're at it, appreciate the fantastic costume and set design.
Janet Caroline
Along with running a great online fabric shop, Janet Caroline keeps this blog, which is great for staying on top of contemporary textile design. The designs are beautiful, and so are the dresses she makes for her five-year-old daughter.
Dr. Sketchy
I haven't had a chance to make it out yet but… life drawing in burlesque costume? I think so.

Model year 2014 brings a minor restyle and a major performance boost to the Ford Fiesta line. The ST model, with its 197-horsepower EcoBoost 1.6 engine, becomes the presumptive King Hot Hatch in the sub-compact category. A unique 3-cylinder EcoBoost 1.0 is optional in the other models.
More than the vehicle itself, the Ford Fiesta's order sheet has been revised for 2013 creating a new, more rational alignment of equipment and feature packages. There are now three distinct trim levels – S, SE and Titanium – each of which is available on both Sedan and Hatch body styles.
The 2012 Ford Fiesta sub-compact sedan and hatchback adds two new interior option packages to the SEL and SES trims, sees a revised Sport Package with more features, and makes integrated side blind-spot mirrors standard on all models.
The 2014 Ford Fiesta may be the only American sub-compact that can truly stand up to the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris. Slick Eurostyle looks, outstanding fuel economy and true fun-to-drive chassis tuning do the trick. The Fiesta also loads on features unexpected in this class, including wild interior and exterior colors, a version of Ford's SYNC infotainment system and a dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Ford Fiesta is available as a 4-door sedan and a 5-door hatchback, in S, SE and Titanium trim levels. A new high-performance hatch-only ST model joins the line this year, with a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine. Also new is an available 1.0-liter 3-cylinder EcoBoost engine that Ford says is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid on the market.

Belkin Is Converting Every Screen Into A TV
By Tony Ibrahim | Monday | 27/08/2012
Belkin is now converting every screen—be it smartphone, tablet, PC or Mac—into a TV with their new @TV Plus.
It is a little black box that plugs into your TV and transmits whatever is being broadcasted, along with any recorded content stored onto a digital cable box, satellite receiver or DVD player, to a smartphone, tablet or computer over WiFi.
The content can also be accessed when on the go by a mobile or tablet's internet connection.
Understanding the internet isn't everywhere (yet), @TV owners can download TV shows to their mobile devices for offline viewing.
Users simply have to download the iOS or Android application, which is free to do for tablets, but for some strange capitalistic reason is $13.99 for smartphones.
From the application, users have access to Belkin's channel guide.
SmartHouse has asked Belkin if the @TV Plus can feed a channel other than the one being broadcasted to a device, allowing the kids to watch a show of their liking when dad is hogging the TV. If so, the @TV will be a cheap alternative to buying multiple TVs, especially because it can stream footage to 8 devices simultaneously. This article will be updated with their response.
Update: A Belkin spokesperson has informed us the @TV isn't capable of juggling TV channels, but it can broadcast different content stored on a DVD player while the TV is in use.
"With @TV you aren't limited in your channel selection, and you have full access to both recorded content and live TV, so it's easy to watch your favourite TV show in the backyard or catch the game out and about," said Belkin's Head of Marketing and Product Management (ANZ).
Belkin's @TV Plus is available now for $199.95.
Belkin @TV Plus (G1V1000au) - $199.95· Watch live and recorded TV anywhere your tablet, smartphone, or laptop can access Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G· Record directly on mobile devices · Wi-Fi enabled· Compatible with both Mac and PC, Android and iOS devices· No additional monthly service fees

Main :: StageScape M20d Mixer Community Support
by marcusdepaula on 2012-09-30 07:41:55
I have successfully connected my MacBook Pro running 10.8.2 to the StageScape M20d via USB and am seeing all inputs. I also found on this forum how to select outputs 19&20 via Audio MIDI app in Applications>Utilities so that I'm getting the stereo bus of the M20d instead of inputs 1 and 2.
I would like to suggest if possible a way to designate the stereo bus as the default channels when connected to Mac via USB - OR at least provide this information in the user guide!!! I know this is a new product and all, but the user guide is missing a ton of information on connection options. Is there a separate document I'm missing? I know there's information in the FAQ, but not on the Audio MIDI settings information. If it is there, it was not as easy to find as the forum post. It would be helpful to add the information on the Audio MIDI app in the user guide. It would also be helpful to include a link to the driver on the download section of the product page along with all the PDFs, which is where I usually go when setting up a new device. This is my first Line 6 product to use and I find the documentation and support not as easy to get what I'm looking for compared to other manufacturers and their sites...
I am looking at using the USB connection on a new MacBook Pro Retina (that has no analog audio input jack) to feed a Ustream video stream of a corporate event. HOWEVER, in testing the connection today, the latency is UNBELIEVABLY BAD! It's got to be close to half a second! I tap a mic and it takes half a second to register on the core audio input meters in system preferences. Obviously the delay is there when I open GarageBand to hear the audio quality. I can't find any buffer settings on the M20d itself and there don't seem to be any in the Audio MIDI settings panel for the M20d. I have tried adjusting the sample rate and it doesn't seem to affect the latency at all. Since the audio has to sync with a video input, I don't think this will be a viable option for us. So I'll have to go buy a cheap USB AD converter for this unless you guys have a solution that I haven't been able to find.
I notice that the USB to computer output selection shows up under the Record > Configure Record/Playback... window on the mixer itself, but as far as I can see there are no adjustment settings there. Also, I've noticed that it disables the ability to record to the SD card, which is understandable. Is that stated clearly in the recording section of the user guide? I didn't see it.
Please advise. Our event is in a few days from now (today is 9/30/12).

On this website under http://line6.com/stagescape-m20d/resources">http://line6.com/stagescape-m20d/resources">http://line6.com/stagescape-m20d/resources there is a StageScape Advanced Guide with a chapter about recording and streaming:
The M20d streams 20 inputs to your computer and a stereo return stream back to the M20d in the following input streaming channel configuration:
- Channels 1-16: M20d Mic/Line Inputs 1-16, pre-processing / pre fader
- Channels 17-18: M20d stereo Aux Input, pre-processing / pre-fader
- Channels 19-20: M20d stereo Main Outs, post-processing / post-fader
If the Main Mix was streamed to USB 1-2 as default a multitrack recording of the inputs would be difficult with L,R, Input 1(usb 3), 2 Input 2 (usb 4), etc.
It seemed better to have a clear relation between input and usb channel.
The Audio Midi Setup is the MacOS tool that Apple provides for these settings so we can not change it.
On the latency side: Yes, it is bad. The USB connection was intended as a way to record and not as a live split or for any real time application. It would obviously be very useful to have the option to use the USB out for live streaming stereo or even a broadcast mix and we are working on this. At the moment the only low latency outputs are the analog and Line6 Link ones.
I did a Ustream with the M20d 2 weeks ago and used the analog outputs.
by marcusdepaula on 2012-09-30 09:36:19
The Advanced Guide was what I was referring to that had insufficient information for the USB connection. Just listing the outputs isn't helpful for many non-professional users since it makes no mention of adjusting the inputs for core audio use using the Audio MIDI app or the equivalent Windows program. Of course, since the latency is so bad and it can't be used with anything but DAW software, maybe the writers chose not to include it since most users will use the DAW's settings to choose inputs.
Another software request then - PLEASE make it possible to pair the monitor outputs both for live low-latency use like our video streaming scenario, and for stereo in-ear monitors systems. Expecting us to dial a stereo mix via two mono aux sends is pretty crazy - especially for in-ears since very often you have things panned in between center and hard left/right.
Also, you might want to mention that to use the SD card for recording you have to reformat it to FAT32 (which is stupid). What is the technical reason that devices like this continue to use this outdated and severly limiting file format as opposed to ExFAT? Can someone please explain this?
All of the FAQs explain the type of card to purchase (class 10, etc.), but they make no mention of having to reformat them since most all modern cards come formatted for ExFAT. Please pass this information along to the manual and documentation people!!!
As someone who actually does analyze manuals and forums and other available documentation, for such a cool device that can do so much, you guys need to do a better job helping users learn how utilize the more advanced features! I guarantee you the vast majority of users that purchase an SD card like I did and plug it in and get nothing will not think of trying to reformat to FAT32 like I did. Especially if it's nowhere to be found in the manual.

Marcus, I just did a similar thing (used Livestream, no commercials!!!), here is what I did. I took the 1/8" audio out of the mixer, fed it into the camera, then had the HDMI video connect to the MBP via a thunderwire connection (had to spend 300 bucks for the black magic box for that). This worked for me, with the plus I could also record the video with mixer out audio on the camcorder memory card.
Good Luck

Did you send from a Monitor send or two from XLR to 1/8"? Is that what you're saying? There's no 1/8" output on the M20d that I've seen.
That won't work for us anyway since he's using a couple wireless Logitech HD cameras - I'm not sure exactly how. I just have to get him audio.
What we're going to do is either use my Apogee Duet to get audio into his Retina MacBook Pro, or he's going to purchase a Griffin iMic from Amazon so he can have that input option for future purposes.
And it's Thunderbolt, not thunderwire.
by blomasky on 2012-10-01 06:29:13
ok, Note to self, do NOT respond to forum msgs after too many adult beverages on the weekend! Let me try again. I put a 1/4" splitter on the headphone jack, with adaptor, connected 1/8" to that and fed that to camcorder. Yes, the cable is a Thunderbolt of course. I find that this was the only way to get good quality, low latency HD into the computer. (I have tried some USB webcams but they can not compare to the HD camcorder for the quality of the picture).
Good luck
The last time we did this, we were at a venue with too slow internet to stream in HD, so we lowered the quality a tad. If you want to see the results, they are still saved at new.livestream.com/gwampa/ri

Yesterday I tried to use the M20d as a "usb interface" to record in the studio - what a nightmare! The latency is very very very bad!
Line 6 really needs to fix this ASAP cause, like me, probably lots of people bought this to use live and in the studio, and this way is not possible.
I sold a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 to buy the M20d and now I'm stuck!!!
I also think that things are not very clear in the manual.
I agree with Line 6 that the "direct channel to usb" is easier cause you look at the M20d and you know right away which input to choose ( M20's channel 13 = Input 13 on the software ), but I still don't know how 17-18 is the Aux input, but it's also the Output of the PC/Mac .... ??? I wanted to hear the Mac output and I already had an icon for input 17/18 (Aux) and it was a little bit confusing because I was expecting this to be the AUX Input ( where I had an iPod connected ).
So please , Line 6, work on this cause WE really need it!!!
Thanks for doing great products.

Are you actually working on the latency??? What can we expect in the future?? I just bought an M20d today, I was hoping to use it for live and as an interface for my DAW. I tried it out and there is no way. Even if I set the buffer in my DAW to 32, the lowest setting the latency is over a half a second. I figured I must be doing something wrong but there were no settings I could configure to impove it. That's why I'm here, to see if there was something I didn't think of but it appears that's just the way it is.
I have 30 days to take this back but I'm thinking I only need one. It's an expensive peice of gear and although I can already tell that for live the quality is top notch, I really do NEED this to perforn both functions. I thought it would be great to monitor using the on board effects but be printing a dry signal, and it actually works. If you don't look at the screen you can record and it feels like zero latency. But then having to go in after each take and line the track up by half a second. Once is one thing but every track? I can't imagine trying to punch in. And then there's the issue of trying to find audio pieces to edit when they've gone by half a second before you hear them. Or even trying to mix when your fader adjustments are half a second behind. I don't need to go on any further, suffice to say, this is just stuff I realized in 30 minutes of trying to make it work.
I know the odds of getting an answer in time to stop me from taking this back tomorrow and getting a studio live 16.0.2 for about 1/2 the money are slim. But just in case someone is monitoring this thread, and can answer something about the latency issue and a possible fix.
Honestly, I hate to be that guy, you know the one that is sounding like a threat to take it back if I don't get what I want. It's not that at all, I simply need to be able to use the board to record to my DAW. If it wasn't for the fact that I love the idea of what this board can do for live settings, I wouldn't have even come on here hoping to find an answer, I would have just packaged it up and gotten ready to take it back. I hate that I have to, if there was some glimmer of hope, I would consider holding out and trying to figure out an interim solution. Man this is kind of ripping my heart out... I was really excited about this mixer... I envy all you guys that only need it for live use... SWEET!!!

I appreciate Quill offering to accept inkjet cartridges for recycling! It's a win-win and I appreciate the credit I can apply to any future purchases!
A Must Get!!

This system is so easy to use and great for recycling. Please use it.
This is a great box, but it does not adapt well to odd ball size cartridges.
Great Program

I think the Cartridge Return Program is a awesome program. We have been using it for about a year now and we love it. We return small and large cartridges and the free return boxes make it so easy! Plus we receive Quill cash for doing it!
Great Service

These boxes are very sturdy.

I go online to Quill.com, order the box, place my empty cartridges in it, send it back UPS (FREE OF CHARGE)and I have Quill cash for something that my Company can really use. No one can use an empty cartridge. Do your part. RECYCLE, IT'S FREE, EASY & CONVIENCE.
Easy way to recycle for Quill cash.

you pack up to 12 small inks and send in the free ups box that is provided. within a couple days you have quill cash ($20.00) sitting in your account to use on purchases. And you can use it along with other coupons that quill provides. Great way to save.
SUPER Convenient!

This is a great idea - saves the customer from searching for a container to ship the used cartridges to the recycle center. THANKS!!
