Great app overall - Seems to be closer to real time quotes than apples. More contrast makes it easier to identify profits and losses. Though, I'm Still looking for a stock ticker that allows me to put in my # of shares and does the math so I know how much money I lose every day :)[Version 1.0b]
Earthlytent had trouble on 02 Oct 2009
I have an external Kanguru dual-layerd burner that came with Dragon Burn, but I'm having trouble burning a DATA disc. Burning a VIDEO disc works fine, but I have one .MP4 file that is 6.6 GB and I want to archive it as the original, but it won't even start to burn as DATA. I just spits out the blank disc and says that it's done, even though it didn't even start. Is that a software or hardware issue? Can one file that size span the "dual-layer" process? thanks. kevin[Version 188.8.131.52]

Senate Democrats back Cordray nomination
The Columbus Dispatch - February 14, 2013 2:02 PM
Sen. Sherrod Brown joined 52 other Senate Democrats today to say they would reject any effort by Senate Republicans to "weaken'' the power of a federal consumer watchdog agency as "the price'' to win Senate confirmation of former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray as director of the bureau.
In a letter to President Barack Obama, the Democrats wrote they supported Cordray's nomination as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and vowed to do all they could to "secure his nomination without delay.'' But their opposition to changing the bureau to gain the support of Senate Republicans suggests the two political parties are at an impasse over the nomination.
Forty-two of the 45 Senate Republicans have pledged to filibuster Cordray's nomination unless Obama agrees to two key changes. Republicans want Congress to approve the bureau's annual budget and insist that the bureau be governed by a five-person bureau as opposed to a sole director. But Democrats have warned such changes would weaken the agency, which was designed to provide consumers with easy-to-understand rules on such financial transactions as home mortgages and credit cards.
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, did not sign the GOP letter, but wrote separately to Cordray urging him "to stake out a reasonable position'' on the Senate GOP demands.
In the letter, Democrats wrote that "never before has a president's nominee to lead an agency been blocked because a minority of senators do not support the existence of the agency.''

Love the CS5's 3d painting features but I'm running into a really frustrating issue:
When I select a value from the 3d object and try to paint with that value, it's showing up as a different value altogether (the image hopefully illustrates this much better than words).
Not sure if it's got something to do the the lights setup or something else but I cannot figure it out. Anyone else running into this or have a solution?
Color management (or its absence) plus naturally shading may figure in - even a uniformely lit model may expose different per pixel color than the actual color of the underlying textures. Whatever it is, it's probably normal and since you failed to provide any more information, nobody will be able to advise more specifically.
Ok, let me try to be explain the issue in more detail.
All 3D layer settings are default. No lights, ambient color setting, etc have been tweaked.
In order to paint out texture seams on a 3d character model, I have imported an .obj of the model into PS CS5 and applied a texture map to it which I have previously painted.
Using the eye dropper I have selected a color value from the sides of the seam and have attempted to paint that value over the seam to remove it.
The color value picked from a texture applied to a 3d model which is 161,161,173, is not the same color value when painted directly back onto the model. It has now mysteriously turned into 152,152,177.
Expected results:
When a color value is picked from a texture applied to a 3d model (161,161,173) and painted back onto the textured model it should remain exactly the same (161,161,173)
I hope lighting/shading is not figured in when color picking. That would make your results completely unpredictable. It could possibly be what is happening but is there a way turn this off or work around it?
Thanks for the help.
I'll explain it but you won't like it even though it is so.
If all the values of the color remained exactly the same youwould have a flat color there would be no 3 D object to see.
Color management (or lack thereof). Make sure to use sRGB and not use any odd monitor profile and/or tell PS not to use it.
So after doing a few more tests it seems the color picker picks on a per pixel basis from the lit model not from the source texture map. This makes sense for 2d applications but is completely worthless in a 3d painting environment.
Example - If I put a medium grey texture on a cylinder and I color pick anywhere on that cylinder in 3d I should be picking my original grey color NOT my original grey multiplied by some lighting value, which is what is happening. This has no practical use in a realtime 3D environement that I can see.
I wish it were as simple as a color managment issue or a simplified idea of what a 3d object is or isn't. The tools just don't work in a way that makes this viable in a 3d production pipeline...or at least not for me. If anyone has some actually experiance with this workflow please let me know what you have done to solve it or work around it. Thanks for the help, folks.
Thanks for the help emil.
Ok I have come up with a workflow/settings that work. It's all about removing the lighting.
By default an imported 3D scene has 2 Infinite light sources. Delete them both (or turn them off). Your scene should now be completely black.
Add an Image Based Light. Make sure it's white. Turn off Create Shadows.
Crank the material Ambient all the way to white.
Turn off Catch Shadows and Cast Shadows for the mesh (might not be nessecary)
Set the Global Ambient Color for the scene to black.
Apply your texture map and paint with confidence!
You should now be able to color pick straight from the 3D object and get accurate results based on your texture map color/value without lighting mucking it up.
If anyone out there is looking for a simple, quick way to fix texture seams for realtime (not sure how many polys PS can push) models, this is a really easy and intuitive solution (and keeps you from dropping money on a stand-alone 3d paint solution like Body Paint 3D). Thanks PS!
I don't use Photoshop much for direct painting on 3D but since all dedicated programs have flat texture rendering mode I checked and found that Photoshop has that too.
In the 3D panel, with the Scene item selected, in the Render Settings section, click the Edit button to open the 3D render settings. For Face Style choose Unlit Texture and click on the floppy disk icon to save the preset and give it a name. Then in the Render Settings section of the 3D panel just change from your unlit texture preset to Default and you can have the best of both worlds.
Fantastic! Thanks emil!

I have been working at Reynolds American
Pros – Good salary, benefits, and community to live in.
Cons – No future, no leadership. The current management is caretakers; the cigarette volume continues to decline the management is hoping the smokeless business will offset the decline in the cigarette volume. For the senior management to continue to receive their bonuses they will need to continue squeeze cost and that translates to continue to outsource and eliminate jobs. The only hope is for British American Tobacco to take the company private when the ownership restrictions from the merger expire.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep squeezing the cost and eliminate as many people as you need to make the stock an attractive purchase.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Session 10, Grades 3-5, Part A:
Classroom Video (30 minutes)
To begin the exploration of what algebraic thinking looks like in a classroom at your grade level, watch a video segment of a teacher who has taken the "Patterns, Functions, and Algebra" course and has adapted the mathematics to her own teaching situation. When viewing the video, keep the following three questions in mind:
Note 2
What fundamental algebraic ideas (content) is the teacher trying to teach? Think back to the big ideas of the previous sessions: patterns, functions, linearity, proportional reasoning, nonlinear functions, and algebraic structure.
What mathematical thinking tools (process) does the teacher expect students to demonstrate? Think back to the processes you identified in the first session: problem solving skills, representation skills, and reasoning skills.
How do students demonstrate their knowledge of the intended content? What does the teacher do to elicit student thinking?
Video Segment
In this video segment, Liza Jones introduces her students to the process of undoing. She begins by asking her students to figure out the "recipe" or formula she is using to turn an In into an Out. She then asks them to undo the "recipe" by finding the In when given the Out.
You can find this segment on the session video, approximately 33 minutes and 48 seconds after the Annenberg Media logo.
Problem A1
Reflect on questions (a), (b), and (c) above. Note 3
Problem A2
How does Ms. Jones incorporate the concept of doing and undoing into the model of function machines?
Problem A3
How do the students think about undoing the recipe they constructed?
Problem A4
How could Ms. Jones have used recursive thinking in this lesson?

Story at a Glance
Media Contacts
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — Mayor Vincent C. Gray today announced that the District of Columbia is ready to continue delivering essential services in the event of a federal shutdown. Nonetheless, he highlighted the injustice of the District's lack of budget autonomy from Congress. D.C. is the only jurisdiction in the United States prohibited from spending local dollars in the event of a federal budget impasse.
"We regret that we even have to consider the possibility that the District of Columbia would fall victim to a partisan standoff on Capitol Hill," said Mayor Gray. "But the office of City Administrator Allen Lew has worked diligently over the past month with agency directors to determine what city functions we would legally be able to continue if congressional stalemate results not only in a federal shutdown, but the D.C. government not being allowed to spend our own money."
The exhaustive examination of essential services and necessary staffing shows that about 21,000 of approximately 35,000 D.C. employees will be exempt. "While we remain hopeful that a resolution will be found to the budget situation, we are committed to provide strategic deployment of personnel, particularly for those services that protect public health and safety," said Lew.
The plan calls for the following services to remain open:
• Metropolitan Police Department: All sworn officers will continue to be on duty. The 911 system will also be fully operational.
• Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department: All firefighters and EMTs will be on duty
• DC Public Schools and Public Charter Schools: DCPS and Public Charter Schools will remain open
• Limited Health and Human Services Functions: A limited number of Health and Human Services functions will be operating, including income maintenance functions (TANF, food stamps, and Medicaid), limited unemployment benefits functions, the Department of Mental Health, various functions of the Child and Family Services Agency, and a limited set of functions within the Department of Health
Services that would be interrupted by a federal shutdown include:
• Department of Motor Vehicles: All locations will be closed.
• Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs: The permitting and licensing functions will not operate during a shutdown.
• Department of Public Works: Trash collection will not start until one week after shutdown. Street sweeping will be suspended.
• Department of Transportation: DDOT will be operating with a skeletal crew, so routine maintenance and repairs will cease. Emergency repairs will be made.
• Public Libraries: All D.C. libraries will be closed.
Previously Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton attempted to get a House vote on a provision that would allow the D.C. government to spend its own local funds for the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. The attempt failed in the House Rules Committee.
"This situation is the clearest case that we can make for immediate budget autonomy and, ultimately, full statehood," Mayor Gray said. "It's just wrong and inappropriate for the D.C. government to be treated, in budget matters, like another federal agency and for our residents to be treated like second-class citizens."
District employees will receive detailed instructions from agency directors in the next 24 hours. Additional shutdown information is currently available at www.DC.gov and will also be available on District Cable Ch. 16 and the non-emergency phone line 311.

Once again, a study shows that women are more valuable than men in the social networking space. Visa-owned PlaySpan has found that women are more likely than men to buy virtual items in social games than men, especially Facebook games:
Women outspend males in virtual goods purchases in MMOs with an average spend of $111 vs. $74 (when purchasing directly from the game maker) and $86 vs. $77 (when purchasing from a third party source)
I was surprised when I first read the TechCrunch and the Business Journal that discussed these findings, but after doing some of my own research I realized these numbers aren't shocking at all, in fact they make perfect sense. The TechCrunch article fails to mention that the average social gamer is a 43-year-old woman! PopCap's 2010 Social Gaming Research gives a detailed overview of the social gaming space; they found that 38% of the women who play social games play multiple times a day (vs. 29% of males) and that women are more likely than men to play social games with real-world friends and family:
Women are also more likely to play social games with their real-world friends than men are (68 percent vs. 56 percent) and are nearly twice as likely as men to play social games with relatives (46 percent vs. 29 percent). The vast majority (95 percent) of social gamers play multiple times per week, and nearly two-thirds play at least once a day
Other interesting facts (via PopCap & Gigaom):
- Facebook is by far the most popular destination for social gamers, with 83 percent of those surveyed saying they play games there, compared with 24 percent who play on MySpace, 7 percent on Bebo and 5 percent on Friendster.
- Social gamers spend 39 percent of their time on social networking sites/services playing games, compared with chatting with/messaging friends (17 percent) and playing solo games (15 percent). Nearly half (49 percent) said that when they connect to social networks, they do so specifically to play social games.
- The most popular games are Farmville (69 percent of those who play it say they play once a week or more), Bejeweled (65 percent say once a week or more), Texas Hold'em Poker (63 percent) and Cafe World (61 percent).
- A little over half (53 percent) of social gamers say they've earned and/or spent virtual currency in a game, but only 28 percent have purchased virtual currency with real-world money and only 32 percent have purchased a virtual gift.
So, it makes sense that companies like LimeLife and cable channel Oxygen are entering the interactive-gaming space.. And that companies like Zynga are, in fact, extremely profitable! Knowing all of this to be true… Why doesn't the tech-savvy female world translate into having more successful female entrepreneurs in the tech space?!

Someone once said the mother-in-law daughter-in-law relationship is the toughest one to manage.
Can any other woman cook his favorite foods just like mom did or wash his clothes just so?
Is anyone good enough for the light of her life? Can anyone else treat her son with the love a mother has? Can she graciously move to second place as another woman takes first place in his heart?
I was thinking about this last week as we traveled eight hours to Commerce, Ga., to attend the funeral of my husband's mother.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct. 26, 2012 – After opening its season with a solid performance against UMBC and Rider two weeks ago, the James Madison swimming and diving program continues its 2012-13 campaign in Philadelphia this weekend.
JMU travels to the Keystone State for a double-dual meet against Villanova and West Virginia in the 9:30 a.m. meet at the Villanova Swim Complex.
"We are excited to compete against two very good programs in Villanova and West Virginia," swimming and diving head coach Samantha Smith said. "We are looking for strong leadership from our upperclassmen as they have been in tough meets before and know how to stay poised. Our freshmen will be expected to jump on board and contribute as we face strong competition. Our primary goal is to improve on the racing and diving from our last meet. We want to see improvement in both the execution and the results of each event as we go from meet-to-meet this year."
The Dukes opened their season on Oct. 13 in Baltimore, Md., in a double-dual meet against UMBC and Rider. JMU won both meets, defeating Rider 231-67 and UMBC 175-124.
The diving team dominated the meet for Madison. It finished with six of the top-seven scores combined in the two events. Senior Kimberly Helfrich (Fort Belvoir, Va./West Springfield) led the way with a pair of first-place finishes. She was named the Colonial Athletic Association Diver of the Week after scoring a 264.45 on the three-meter board and a 269.00 on the one-meter. Sophomore Alex Savage (Carrolton, Texas/Lewisville Hebron) claimed second on the one-meter (238.00) and freshman Carly Alexander (Plantation, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) was second in the three-meter event (246.65).
In the swimming events, Madison won six of the 14 events, including first-place finishes in the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke events by sophomore Sin Hye Won (Springfield, Va./West Springfield).

Madison wrapped up its solid opening with wins in the 200-yard medley relay and the 400-yard freestyle relay. The medley relay team was made up of Won, Burns, junior Shannon Dubay (South Windsor, Conn./South Windsor) and freshman Carli Molano (Centreville, Va./Westfield). The freestyle team consisted of Molano, Burns, Gingher and freshman Camilla Czulada (Sinking Springs, Pa./Wilson).

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the silver mining town of Tonopah received the TV commercial as part of a cable reality show where two Internet comedians create campaigns for quirky local businesses.
The ad promotes a different pace of life, plus off-beat offerings like a clown motel, antler art and paranormal happenings.
The commercial won approval from town leaders who were initially skeptical.
"It might generate some interest from people driving through between Las Vegas and Reno," said town board member Duane Downing. Tonopah is about 240 miles from Reno and 215 miles from Las Vegas along U.S. Route 95.
But town manager James Eason says the town of 2,500 residents can't afford big-city TV time to air the ad.
Eason said he liked the ad when it was finished, even though he told comedians Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal that their initial ideas were "asinine."
"I was very worried about what they were going to do," said Eason, who grew up in Tonopah. "We're very proud of our town and who we are. We don't want to be the butts of anyone's jokes."
Neal said he and McLaughlin originally planned to create an ad for a Tonopah store, stopping in town in between making ads for a Reno roller skating rink and a service in Las Vegas that shuttles drunk people and their cars home from the bar.
But once the comedians got to know Tonopah, they decided it needed a tourism campaign.
"It is, indeed, in the middle of nowhere. But it's worth visiting," Neal said. "That's what I discovered. It's worth the drive."

MARCO ISLAND — Paul Meyer, candidate for Marco Island City Council, discovered the hard truth that becoming a politician takes thick skin. Late Tuesday night, the Marco Eagle learned he was stepping out of the race for council.
The vote on Nov. 6 will decide four seats for City Council. Meyers was one of nine candidates seeking election.
In his statement sent via e-mail, Meyer likened Marco Island to Charles Dickens' 1859 work, "A Tale of Two Cities." He suggested his optimistic view of the island was shattered by the divisiveness he encountered as a candidate.
"Some people are just unhappy and very vocal in their unhappiness," he wrote in his e-mail.
Meyer felt "fired at from all sides." He pointed to his support of the new building for Mackle Park as a case in point. Meyer serves on the city's Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee.
But his criticism of the island ran deeper than a single issue, as he wrote: "I have learned a lot about Marco Island and how dysfunctional it is." Meyer was disturbed by the "us versus them" attitudes he encountered as a candidate.
With the race in its eleventh hour, two incumbent City Council candidates expressed surprise that Meyer chose to leave the contest so late. Absentee ballots were sent to voters in early October, and many residents potentially already voted.
"I'm sorry to see that he did (drop out)," said Marco Island City Councilor Wayne Waldack. "His timing is wrong. Others have voted for him already, now their voice is wasted."
Councilor Jerry Gibson, a veteran of the council and past chairman expressed similar concerns.
"It's disappointing and I feel badly. The hard work of being elected is over. He had some good goals and represented a faction of this island. It's a shame to see it happen."
Meyer wished the remaining candidates "good luck" with their races.
"This run for office has been a life-learning experience for me and my family," Meyer wrote. "That is why I believe I am the smartest candidate for stepping out of this race for a thankless job that pays a whopping $6,000 a year."
Meyer ended his e-mail by saying: "I'm going back to being just Paul Meyer."

The resulting binary acts as a sound "filter" between a 44.1khz mono source and outputs 44.1khz stereo spatialized sound. The UI uses low-level Xlib calls and does not require any GUI toolkit. Examples are provided to play MP3 files through this filter controlling the sound source position.
3Delight is a very fast RenderMan-compliant renderer designed to produce photorealistic images for serious production environments. Some of its features include ray tracing, global illumination, motion blur, depth of field, subdivision surfaces, programmable shaders, quality antialiasing, and antialiased multi-depth shadow maps. The API and the shading language are very similar to what is described in the RenderMan interface documentation.
3dom stands for 3-Dimensional Object Modeler. The aim of 3dom is to offer a tool to model reality with user-chosen accuracy, and user-chosen inclination for a particular purpose, which can be gradually improved and extended. 3dom is designed to be a general-purpose modeler, however it is especially inclined to model scenes for Global Illumination purposes.

Shaken by the loss on September 11 of two good customers and colleagues—the Marriott World Trade Center's Abdu Malahi and Joe Keller—and confronted by what to do with a meeting planning department whose meetings were cancelled last fall, Lee Travel Group president and b-there chairwoman Peggy Lee decided to set up a gift trust to provide direct financial support to the families of the 61 identified meeting, travel, and hospitality industry victims of the September 11 attacks.
Following the example set by the National Restaurant Association's Windows of Life fund for restaurant worker victims' families, Lee put her meeting planning staff to work last fall researching how to set up the foundation. "Putting our meeting planners to work on this project when they were afraid they would lose their jobs was the smartest thing I ever did," says Lee.
She and her staff put together the victim profiles, and the financial and legal aspects of the foundation, and soft-launched Our Own (www.our-own.org) in January. The foundation holds online raffles, with the proceeds going to the hospitality and travel industry victims' families on a pro rata basis. "I didn't want to even get into who should get what," Lee says. The official kick off will be held at the Stamford Marriott on March 20. Many of the victims' families are planning to attend.
Lee decided to process the fund on the Internet to bypass the rules, regulations, and taxes offline charities typically are subject to. It uses the registration component of online attendee management provider b-there's transaction engine, as well as the module's session limits, to manage the raffle ticket sales and track each item's availability. The first drawing of winning tickets will take place at the official launch in March. After that, drawings will be held when tickets equaling twice the value of a particular item are sold or 90 days have passed, whichever comes first. The only catch: Because it's a gift trust, contributions are not tax deductible.
To date, donated items are eclectic, ranging from Bermuda vacations, a duck-hunting trip to Arkansas, the opportunity to pitch a business to a venture capitalist, and a plastic surgery procedure. "Everyone has something they can donate," urges Lee. Once the site is officially launched, Lee wants to look into getting an online auction firm to donate some auction software so she can add that functionality to the site.
It might be easy to get carried away with all the interesting prizes, but the foundation's Web site doesn't forget why it came to be: The "In Memory…" page puts faces to some of the travel and hospitality industry victims, and lists all by name, title, and company. At the bottom of the list, an animated poem by an eight-year-old named Abby sums up what the spirit of giving, and America, is really all about.

These are my links for January 30th through February 4th:
- Op-Ed Contributor – Microsoft's Creative Destruction – NYTimes.com – Unlike other companies, Microsoft never developed a true system for innovation. Some of my former colleagues argue that it actually developed a system to thwart innovation. Despite having one of the largest and best corporate laboratories in the world, and the luxury of not one but three chief technology officers, the company routinely manages to frustrate the efforts of its visionary thinkers.
- Leonardo da Vinci's Resume Explains Why He's The Renaissance Man For the Job – Davinci – Gizmodo – At one time in history, even da Vinci himself had to pen a resume to explain why he was a qualified applicant. Here's a translation of his letter to the Duke of Milan, delineating his many talents and abilities. "Most Illustrious Lord, Having now sufficiently considered the specimens of all those who proclaim themselves skilled contrivers of instruments of war, and that the invention and operation of the said instruments are nothing different from those in common use: I shall endeavor, without prejudice to any one else, to explain myself to your Excellency, showing your Lordship my secret, and then offering them to your best pleasure and approbation to work with effect at opportune moments on all those things which, in part, shall be briefly noted below..The document, written when da Vinci was 30, is actually more of a cover letter than a resume; he leaves out many of his artistic achievements and instead focuses on what he can provide for the Duke in technologies of war.
- jsMath: jsMath Home Page – The jsMath package provides a method of including mathematics in HTML pages that works across multiple browsers under Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux and other flavors of unix. It overcomes a number of the shortcomings of the traditional method of using images to represent mathematics: jsMath uses native fonts, so they resize when you change the size of the text in your browser, they print at the full resolution of your printer, and you don't have to wait for dozens of images to be downloaded in order to see the mathematics in a web page. There are also advantages for web-page authors, as there is no need to preprocess your web pages to generate any images, and the mathematics is entered in TeX form, so it is easy to create and maintain your web pages. Although it works best with the TeX fonts installed, jsMath will fall back on a collection of image-based fonts (which can still be scaled or printed at high resolution) or unicode fonts when the TeX fonts are not available.
- Josh on the Web » Blog Archive » Abusing the Cache: Tracking Users without Cookies – To track a user I make use of three URLs: the container, which can be any website; a shim file, which contains a unique code; and a tracking page, which stores (and in this case displays) requests. The trick lies in making the browser cache the shim file indefinitely. When the file is requested for the first – and only – time a unique identifier is embedded in the page. The shim embeds the tracking page, passing it the unique ID every time it is loaded. See the source code.

Members of both the boys and girls teams at Gym Nevada traveled to San Jose, Calif., along with coaches and staff to watch Dalton and the rest of the gymnasts compete at the U.S. Olympic Trials. It was a moment that many will not soon forget.
"It was exciting," boys coach Mike Adsit said. "Wow, it was really exciting. All that they have worked so hard for is right there. You kind of knew who was going to be in the first two or three spots, but we really didn't know the final two spots until they announced who was making that team. It was really exciting.
"It sounds cheesy, but the atmosphere was electric. It really had a buzz to it," Adsit continued. "I'm sure the kids were completely ecstatic. There's a buzz here now too. We're going to get together as a team as much as possible and watch it together."
As Dalton earned a spot as one of the five Team USA members to represent the red, white and blue, the kids took in every moment.
"I'm always amazed at how much they know about the sport," Gym Nevada front office manager Marie Bledsoe said. "They know a lot about what the guys are actually doing. It was a great experience for them and they just kept talking about it. They wanted to get all the guys' autographs and just had a great time. It's sort of like seeing your favorite rock star."
Asked what it was like to see Dalton in action, the kids said the trials were exciting and full of high energy, and it was very encouraging.
"It was a lot of fun," 16-year-old John Herrera said. "We got to see our teammate compete. It was nice to know someone in the trials. It was pretty cool. There's better competition out there, a lot better."
Now as the kids gear up to watch Dalton go for the gold starting in the team competition on Saturday, they also have their own golden dreams of someday making the Olympic squad as well, thanks to Dalton's accomplishments.
"If he won gold, that would be awesome," Joey Paris, 11, said. "It would be incredible. We'd know an Olympic gold medalist."
Experiencing the Olympic trials in person was important to see what it takes to reach that point.
"One thing I think they learned is the hard work and commitment it takes," Adsit said. "Jake's not very strong on horse. He's very strong on pretty much all five of the other events, but not so much on horse. The routine that he did on horse on the first day at trials was a spectacular routine. You could see that he's just been working so hard on that. He had a plan of what he really needed to fix and you could tell that he's really been working on it. That's what stands out for me the most, to see the improvements that he made and to hit that routine.
"I think that's the coolest thing, from my perspective. Jake is on this team because of hard work. Sure he's talented, but he is where he is because he has worked so very hard and he's completely determined. He's come past a lot of things that could have gotten in his way and maybe sidetracked him but he's held fast and worked really hard."
Dalton and his teammates will be looking to grab the first men's team gold medal since the 1984 games. Coincidentally, Adsit attended that year's trials in Jacksonville, Fla., as a child. Perhaps he can prove to be a good luck charm for Dalton and the USA. Regardless, Dalton has already had a great journey that started here and has led him anywhere and everywhere.

I have some $400 a ticket.. it's a shared room with the man himself..
I'd like to go to the last home game in style, with my wife and two sisters. I'm looking for Jim Kelly club seats, four (4) together. I'd prefer row 9 or higher but if you got anything in that section(s) and I would be interested. I looked and Stub hub has them for $170 each.
If you got 'em, and want to sell 'em, let me know what you want for 'em!
I'm a long-time lurker!!!
I have some $400 a ticket.. it's a shared room with the man himself..
treid - thanks for the offer, hey I'd love to sit with Kelly but $400 a ticket is outa my price range. Christmas presents and credit cards this time of year... $1600 for 4 tix for the last game I cannot do. Sincerely THANK YOU for the offer....
I'm a long-time lurker!!!
*** Still Looking ***
If you know of anything reasonable let me know.
I'm a long-time lurker!!!
FYI for the St Louis game I bought a pair of Kelly Clubs outside the game at the small food mart on the corner of Abbot and SW for 20 each about a half hour before kickoff... so if all else fails give it a try ... granted buying 4 might be a bit tougher.

A team of five seniors and two freshman at Johns Hopkins University has devised a little "pouch" to hold microcapsules of beta cells in the portal vein, from which the cells can send out insulin while safely protected inside.
It's made by sandwiching a porous cylinder of nylon mesh between two cylindrical metal stents, similar to the ones that are used to keep clogged blood vessels open.
The pouch is inserted into the abdomen from the femoral vein in the leg. First the compressed outer stent is threaded into the portal vein, where it pushes out on it harmlessly. Then the inner stent, surrounded by the nylon mesh cylinder, is compressed and inserted. Once in place, the inner stent snaps back to its original shape and the nylon mesh is held snugly against it.
Semi-permeable alginate microcapsules containing beta cells are injected into the space between the two metal stents, where they become trapped within the nylon mesh. The alginate microcapsules protect the cells from attack by the immune system. The openings in the mesh are big enough to allow blood through but too small to allow the microcapsules to escape.
The blood flowing though the cylinder nourishes the encapsulated cells trapped within the mesh and circulates the insulin they produce. The device allows for the microcapsules to be removed and refilled as necessary.
The Johns Hopkins staff has applied for a patent, and animal testing is expected to begin this summer. If successful, human trials would be next.
