The former Notre Dame basketball coach has taken his education advocacy from the program he mentored for 20 years to a much bigger stage, the streets of South Bend.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
Minutes after reading a column in Friday's Tribune about high school coaches grumbling over the South Bend Community School Corp.'s policy for a minimum GPA of 2.0 to be involved in extracurriculars, Digger was on the phone stating his case.
The idea of relaxing the foundation of the policy, or building in a grace period to allow an athlete to reach the minimum, bothered him.
"It's the poor kids who are being exploited, and the coaches are making excuses," Phelps said. "Would a coach do that to his own child?"
The example of an athlete who had his best report card ever — four C's and a C-minus — but was still told he wasn't eligible, didn't draw any sympathy from Phelps.
"We, as adults, let that kid down," Phelps said. "We didn't get him the help it would have taken to make that C-minus a C."
Digger abhors the current IHSAA eligibility mandate that calls for a student-athlete to pass just 70 percent of classes taken. That means four D's and an F would still allow eligibility.
"That's an insult to the parents and the kids of the state," Phelps said.
He talked about free tutoring programs. College students from Notre Dame and Bethel volunteer their time at many agencies around the city.
If a high school athlete in the SBCSC is ruled ineligible for a grading period, the athlete is still allowed to participate in practice. Phelps faced a similar situation — twice — with LaPhonso Ellis, one of the best players of Digger's regime. With an accounting major, Ellis missed playing time because of academic problems on two occasions.
"The proudest moment was at graduation to see LaPhonso and (another player under Phelps) Elmer Bennett waving to me with their diplomas," Phelps said.
After a long NBA career, Ellis today is a broadcaster and an entrepreneur today.
Phelps talked about Los Angeles County in the mid-1980s. The implementation of a 2.0 GPA minimum to compete in sports caused about 6,000 athletes to be ineligible. The next year, 90 percent of those made the grade. Today, the state of California mandates a 2.0 minimum.
"California is a role model," Phelps said. "But nobody gets it."
Phelps bristled at the lament that since schools beyond the SBCSC have a lower GPA minimum it's not a level playing field.
"This is who we are; what we are," Phelps said. "Nobody else matters."
Always the basketball coach, Digger isn't about to head into the challenge with a bunch of 3-point shooters. The process begins with the fundamentals starting in kindergarten through fourth grade.
"I don't want anyone shooting 3-pointers," he said. "I want them to start with a right hand dribble. Then a left hand dribble. A chest pass. Then layups: Right hand; left hand. Get those down pat K-through-4.
"At that age, you want to teach basic life skills, so they can handle junior high and high school. You can't afford to have any turnovers."
Phelps' tough-love approach has merit. One of the basic concepts of education is that, faced with a challenge, most student-athletes will step up their game and achieve. It's the nature of the competitive spirit.
"Kids want to go after it," Phelps said.
He's convinced that, given a choice, most youngsters would avoid gang involvement.
"If gangs are only one of 10 options, young people are going to choose the other nine," Phelps said. "We've got (the gangs) surrounded. Show the kids the options. They'll go for them."
And Digger's the guy drawing up the playbook.

I am John Arnold and I'm writing to ask for your vote for the San Miguel Power Association District 4 director seat.
Let me first address the Tri-State contract. We received petitions reading that members of SMPA "request that … the SMPA Board of Directors explore the use of renewable energy resources and energy-efficiency measures to limit the need for new generation. We further ask our representatives … to not sign the extension to the wholesale power purchase agreement with Tri-State Generation and Transmission."
The board didn't vote to sign the contract until Tri-State agreed to purchase a minimum of 50 MW of renewable energy, which they later increased to 100 MW. (One megawatt typically supplies 1,370 homes with electrical energy for one month.) The signing of the contract will help keep rates lower and allow Tri-State to build transmission lines to stranded renewable wind resources being developed in eastern Colorado.
Tri-State has made significant steps toward renewable energy: They entered into a partnership in a proposed 500 MW concentrating solar-power project in New Mexico. Tri-State is also a founding member of the newly formed National Renewable Cooperative Organization, which focuses on development of renewable energy by co-ops.
I've asked Tri-State about the feasibility of a concentrating solar plant in the Nucla area, close to the power plant and transmission lines that are there. I believe staying at the table with Tri-State achieved what our members really wanted: access to more renewable energy.
I am the SMPA director on the Colorado Rural Electrical Association Board. We worked closely with Senator Jim Isgar to bring HB 1160 into law last March 26. The bill sets guidelines for residential customers who generate up to 10 kw and commercial or industrial customers who generate up to 25 kw from eligible energy resources. The bill requires that electric cooperatives and municipally owned utilities credit a customer's excess generation one-to-one against the customer's consumption. This will encourage development of renewable energy, especially solar, for schools and homes.
I endorsed funding by SMPA for the Telluride Community Coalition for Sustainability and also participate in the SMPA green power program. I'm the only board member to have received Board Leadership Certification after becoming a credentialed director. Board meetings are always open to everyone with a public comment period at the opening of meetings. I can be reached by phone or email for comments.
I'm a believer that through efficiency and renewable energy, we can cut the demand for base-load generation, but I'm not sure it will be enough to curtail more natural gas, coal and nuclear power plants.
Keep experience, knowledge and common sense on the SMPA board: Vote John Arnold for District 4 director when you receive your ballot this week.
– John Arnold

Santa Ana California Personal Injury Lawyers
With a population of more than 340,000, Santa Ana is the eleventh largest city in California, and the fourth-most densely populated city in the country, trailing only New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago. But Santa Ana is much more than just a large and active city. As the county seat, the city implements important administrative and judicial functions for Orange County. Santa Ana is also home to the John Wayne Airport, the only airstrip in Orange County that handles both commercial and passenger traffic. It is estimated that in 2008, the airport served over nine million passengers.
Accident Statistics
With all Santa Ana has to offer, the city, unfortunately, suffers from an undesirable side effect – fatalities and injuries from accidents. According to the State Office of Traffic Safety, in 2008 alone, at least 15 people were killed and 1,365 were injured in traffic accidents in Santa Ana. Among those injured were 123 pedestrians, 110 bicyclists, and 70 motorcycle riders.

HydroClean Fill Valve
Invented by a fourth generation plumber, the HydroClean HC660 saves water, cleans the tank, and detects leaks (20% of all toilets leak) using a distinctive sound.
The HydroClean can be calibrated to the exact volume of water needed. Most valves are made to fill the largest bowls, so after your toilet bowl is filled, there's a good chance that water is still flowing into the bowl needlessly. If you notice a ripple across the surface of the filled bowl after flushing, this means surplus water is flowing from the tank to the bowl. The water level won't continue to rise because this excess water drains over the 'trap' at the base of the bowl.
Cleans the tank by directing a flow of water along the base of the tank, removing slime and sediment that can cause flapper failure (and subsequent leaks). This will also extend the life of the other toilet components.
It detects leaks by making a whistling sound from a special nozzle on the unit.
Proven in independent studies to reduce water usage by 36%, the feature-rich HydroClean fits all standard toilets and installs easily without tools.
HydroForce Flapper
HydroForce Flapper HFL105 - Because faulty flappers are the most common cause of leaks, the HydroForce flapper is specifically designed to withstand harsh water conditions and provide a leak-resistant seal.
The HydroForce Flapper is engineered to fit more toilets than any other brand and easily adjusts to fit the toilet perfectly. This adjustability takes the guesswork out of choosing the proper flapper. This solves the problem found in a study done for the California urban water conservation council that showed that improper flapper replacement can waste as much as 4-Gallons of water per flush even in high efficiency toilets. The HydroForce is engineered for long life and to withstand extreme water conditions. The stainless steel chain and hook will not rust or break and it comes with an industry leading 5-year warranty.
MJSI, Inc., headquartered in Shorewood, IL is the manufacturer of the HydroWorks portfolio of products that are devoted to water conservation, earth preservation and sound environmental plumbing. Recognized as toilet efficiency experts, MJSI's innovation has expanded the plumbing market from repairs to green toilet improvement.

Customer Reviews
the best I have had the honor to install
By 3/27/11on
I have put in two entire toilets, and at least a half dozen fill valve, flapper and fill tubes (the entire flushing mechanism). This is the best one yet. The only thing they could of listed was the fact is does not have the fill tube kit included, that is the tube the water fills the tank with and the gasket that the entire tank sits on when connected to the toilet (thank goodness I didn't need those parts). This guy was easy to install, and adjust. I love the shut off inside the toilet if needed, as I have to shut off the main water if I ever have to fix anything inside. The low water use is amazing, and I hope I never have to use it, but knowing it monitors for leaks in a huge A+++ for me. I plan on replacing my other toilet with this same mechanism when the time comes, no need to fix what isn't broke, right! To my fellow ladies, you can even do this one (but I wouldn't if I didn't have too).

Blogging v1.0— the history
When I first started blogging, I went on ranting about my daily activities as an internet-savvy 12-year old. Back then, I could type anything I want without worrying if I made sense or used proper punctuation— remember when 3 periods after each phrase made everything sound so much cooler? I was one of those kids, the ones who lived and breathed the internet at 12. *laughs*
As I grew older, my blogging skills progressed. From daily activities, I went to expressing myself more with emo-ish write-ups about young love and how I perceived it. I was starting to get into a circle of internet friends, Myspace was so in back then, and got hooked into writing and amateur photography. Upon graduating from high school, I made sure I made a little more sense with my ranting and crooked philosophies. I started leaning into art, fashion, and drama— these 3 when mixed together make a really good fictional book character.
I was all set at 16. I knew I wanted to take my writing more seriously. I applied in school publications and got in each time, garnering good feedback from each boss. I liked writing, especially features writing where I learned most of what I know now. This helped me a lot in forming a fashion blog, one which I chose to call Fashion Firewoman.
Fashion Firewoman is my baby. I try to redesign it as often as I can without losing its signature colors but not once did I change its name. And now, I have it in its simplest form— no sidebars, no excessive photos, no advertisements. I'll tell you more about this in a different entry.
Fashion Firewoman started as an ordinary Tumblr site where I reblogged the cool finds from the people I followed. It started out slow and child-like until I realized I could do so much with it. It received following and good feedback especially because in 2008, there weren't too many eager bloggers. People were scared to voice out their daily rambles, people weren't too fond of the idea that the whole world could be relying on his or her fashion perceptions. Nowadays, everyone can and wants to blog. People are more open to the world. Some people want to be heard while others just want to be seen. This is what's different from the bloggers before and the bloggers now.
Before, bloggers wanted to write to express. They wanted to document their daily looks and write about why they bought their top, how they inherited a vintage purse— it's so much different nowadays. Now, bloggers write to impress. Blog posts end with courtesy of, lots of thank you for my this and that. I must admit, I did give in to this petty thing and tried monetizing my blog. I also accepted sponsored posts and enjoyed writing about their items. I've hosted giveaways, featured brands— the works. It was fun, really, I can't complain about getting pairs of shoes in the mail. I've made lots of friends both from my blog readers and shop owners and the best thing I've learned is that you have to screen your friends thoroughly.
Hmm. This is a pretty angsty comeback piece. I guess I reached the point wherein I got tired of blogging, but not of writing.

The show was awesome! They played a really long set which I was happy about. The only thing keeping the experience from perfect was all the stupid crowd surfers going right over me! It made it harder to give my undivided attention. But even though I was sweating like a dog and I woke up this morning bruised all over, I would still say it was worth it to fly out from Colorado to this concert!

Lights, Binoculars, Action!
Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson (above, from left) chat about portraying birders hell-bent on tallying the most species in their new film The Big Year, which hits theaters in October.
Black: I knew there was going to be a test at some point in this interview that I would fail. Can I recognize any birds by hearing them? Yes, but only if I have my iPhone with the app available at my fingertips. I've got a great app.
Martin: Jack, you had to learn to make some sounds, I remember that.
Black: Let me see. Peep-peep-peep-peep-peep-peep-peep. That's the Abert's towhee.
Wilson: I heard that.
Black: Thank you. Okay, that's the app. I did listen to a lot of birds, but it kind of went in one ear and out the other. I would be able to re-create and recognize only for the length of time that it took to shoot one take. Then all of that information and knowledge was like dust in the wind.
Martin: You realize the publicists are going crazy right now.
Q: After making the film, do you have a greater awareness of birds in general?
Wilson: Yes.
Black: Yes.
Martin: I know I definitely do. The other day I was in Sicily and I saw a bird that was red.
Wilson: That was a cardinal!
Q: If you could have any kind of big year, focusing on one thing or experience, what would it be?
Martin: For me, I think I did that in college, and her name was . . .
Wilson: I guess maybe something like going to sporting events around the world. Going to all the Major League Baseball parks and continuing it on to the World Cup and so on. Something like that where you're going around the world.
Martin: I might make mine to see, for example, every painting by a certain artist who had a low output. There's a Russian artist, Malevich, who did maybe 60 paintings. You could probably see every one of them because they're all in museums; there are very few in private hands. And it might take you to Moscow and St. Petersburg and New York and here and there, and it might take you a year to do, or less.
Black: I might go around the world in search of music that I hadn't heard before and
hear it live. Like a modern-day Paul Simon, searching the world for new jams and tunes.
Q: You finished filming the movie last year. Thinking back, what has stayed with you most?
Martin: A lot of my memories come from the camaraderie--I think we had a good time on the movie. But also what sticks with me was the beautiful, beautiful landscape that we found ourselves in, especially in the Yukon. We had not quite the midnight sun, but I remember one day we finished shooting around 11 p.m. and then we had to take a helicopter back to the little town we were staying in. It was midnight, and Owen went to play golf.
Wilson: That's right. It was called the Top of the World Golf Course, a little nine-hole golf course. And on the third hole we could hear wolves howling in the distance. It was really unbelievable.

Note: Even though I mention some Epson projectors specifically, this method can be applied just as effectively to all projectors. In fact, this calibration philosophy is applicable to all display devices.
Stereomandan's Calibration Method for Epson 1080 (partial), 1080UB, 6100, 6500UB, 7500UB, 8500UB, 8700UB...
From my discussions with folks here, I've discovered that the CMS (Color Management System) behaves the almost the same on all the projectors listed above (except the 1080 which doesn't have brightness control in the CMS, so a Epson 1080 owner will only get partial benefit) This means that my method listed below will perform roughly the same with any of these projectors. (Personally, I own the 1080UB the early brother to the 6500UB, 7500UB, 8700UB...)
As a side note. I have not had a chance to fool around with the THX mode on the newer models. I believe this mode is closer to the correct REC.709 standard than other presets on older models, but still can benefit from this method.
While performing detailed calibration of my 1080UB, I discovered that I could achieve what most would seem almost a perfect result. My primary and secondary color and brightness lined up perfectly with the REC.709 reference points, my gamma tracked dead-on 2.22, and my grayscale was fantastic at 6500K with a dE of less than 2 from 20% to 100% stimulus. Here is an example of my calibration, which I was extremely happy to achieve. Doesn't get much better than that huh? Well, read on.
The problem:
I noticed that areas of scenes looked washed out(gray), and as if color had been reduced. The picture was better than the "out of the box" settings though. While the picture looked good, it lost a lot of that colorful POP wow factor. It was most noticeable in mildly lit scenes. When colors were subtle, they looked washed out. The problem was particularly noticeable with skin tones, which are critical. Faces looked too gray, and the picture just looked flat. Outdoor, well lit scenes didn't seem to suffer as much.
What did I do?:
I tried to understand why colors looked washed out. This led me to the Color Saturation Windows in the downloadable AVSHD REC.709 disk found here:
I had been using this disk for my calibration, but had simply been using the 75% or 100% Brightness Color windows for calibration. This is what is commonly used, and the standard method for calibrating. See the top two arrows in the picture below:
For more background information, look here at Kurt's Dummies Guide for calibration, a fantastic source of information.
Important Information before you read on:
Color terminology. I will be discussing Color Brightness Windows, and Color Saturation Windows. They are NOT the same. When most people talk about using 75% or 100% color windows for calibration, they are talking about the Color Brightness windows. The saturation does not change between these 75% or 100% color windows. (the x, y locations remain the same.)
Using my calibration method, you will use the 75% Saturation windows (which are at 100% Color Brightness). I'll explain why later, and where you can find the patterns.
In order to understand what I mean, let's take a look at the color gamut triangle. Shown below is the color gamut from above, but with some explanations. Take the green primary for example (at the standard REC.709 reference point.) Let's say you were to pull up a 100% brightness color window for green. If you measure the Green location to be outside the REC.709 triangle, then it is oversaturated. If you were to measure the green primary and it was inside the REC.709 triangle, then it is undersaturated. Adjusting Hue spins the measured point around the D6500 reference white point, as shown. The goal is to get the measured value of green to match the reference point of the test pattern. This chart does not show the brightness of green, another critical measure. You can have green perfectly saturated and the correct hue, but it can still be to too light, or too dark. This is why there is a x, y location for all colors, but also a Y (Brightness) value. All three have to be set correctly to have an accurate color.
O.k., with that said; let's say you want to find out how accurately your projector displays more subtle colors of green, closer to the center 6500K white point in the color gamut. Are there test patterns for this? Yes, but the only ones I'm aware of are on the AVSHD REC.709 disk. They are listed in the Color menu, under saturation windows, as shown below.(the bottom arrow) Here are where the 75% Saturation windows are located (as well as 0%, 25%, 50%, 75 and 100% color saturation windows for all primaries and secondaries.) All of these patterns use 100% brightness (Y) as their reference. The patterns also assume your display gamma is 2.22. (By the way, the 6500K white point, shown in the photo above, is where all of the grayscale measurements are located, from black all the way on up the grayscale to white. This gray, "middle area", of the triangle is where there should be no noticeable color.)
This is where all of these saturation windows are located on a color gamut chart:
Don't confuse these with the standard 75% and 100% Color Window patterns shown below. These are the color windows found on most calibration disks. These color windows are only at the outer edge of the color gamut triangle, but the brightness (Y) is either 100%, or 75%. Here are where they are located on the AVSHD REC.709 disk.
So, what happens when you calibrate our Epson projectors to the standard color windows? Take a look below. The 100% saturation points, at the outer edge of the triangle look great, but look at the 75%, 50%, and 25% saturation points for all the colors. Pretty surprising huh? Let's take green again for example. When green is supposed to be 75% saturated, it will really only be close to 50% saturated! The same holds true for other colors. This is why I noticed the colors looking gray and washed out! It was really happening, as the measurements show.
So what do we do? Well, after studying my calibration files, I noticed that the 0, 25, 50 and 75% saturations seemed to perform o.k. after some adjusting, but then all heck broke loose at 100% saturation and became oversaturated. So I thought, well, maybe I can at least get the 75% saturation gamut(and lesser saturations) to look great. This 75% gamut is outlined by the light gray triangle in the picture above. This makes up a LOT of the available colors to choose from. The 100% saturation points will be off, but maybe this is overall a better solution.
So here are the results:
The 0, 25, 50, and 75% saturation points line up fantastic, and the 100% points are oversaturated. How does the picture look in real life, on the screen? Fantastic! Skintones are spot on, and WOW, the colors look beautifully accurate and have good POP. I'll explain more below.
How do you do this? Open up the saturation windows and use the 75% saturation window patterns for calibrating, instead of the typical 100% saturation windows. Here is a walkthrough:
Calibration Walk-through
Colorometer (I used the Display One LT when performing calibrations for this guide, and have since upgraded to an i1pro. All of the suggestions in this method still apply)
Download the ColorHCFR software:
Laptop or PC close to the screen
Tripod (to hold meter)
Blu-Ray Source settings:
Turn off any picture enhancement modes (sharpness, contrast, dynamic…)
If you are going to use 24fps for viewing, turn this on
Projector Initial Settings:
Color mode: Natural (yes, this matters. Do not use the Theater Black Modes)
Turn off any Frame Interpolation.
Iris: Off (Can be turned back on after calibration is complete)
Choose either low or high lamp mode, but don't switch during calibration session. You will need a separate calibration for each mode if you are going to use both high and low lamp mode. (This only impacts the grayscale, so that's all you need to adjust for each mode)
Color = -10 (this gives a good starting point)
Tint = -4 (this gives a good starting point)
Color temp = 6500K, or 6000K
Skintone = 0
You can turn on 2-2 or 4-4 pull down if the Blu-Ray player is set output 24fps
HDMI expanded (Depends on Blu-Ray player setting for Blacker Than Black and Whiter Than White setting)
1) Brightness = Set by eye with AVSHD pattern
2) Contrast = Set by eye with AVSHD pattern (I typically bump my contrast down two to four notches from what the test pattern would suggest. I had problems with overdriving the bulb when adjusting to meet the test pattern. This does sacrifice some lumens though)
Greyscale Calibration
3) Adjust grayscale using the gray window patterns on AVSHD (I use the 90% and 30 or 40% gray windows) You typically don't mess with Green, unless you have to. Only adjust Blue and Red to match Green. Use Gains first with the 90% window, and get the red, green and blue levels equal. Then use the Offsets to adjust the 30 or 40% window, again making red green and blue equal. You may have to go back and forth a few times between the 90 and 30 window to get the correct setting. Remember, gains first on the bright windows, then offsets for the darker windows.
4) Recheck brightness and contrast, and adjust as necessary. Sometimes, adjusting the Gains and Offsets can impact the correct brightness and contrast setting, particularly brightness.
Gamma Calibration
5) Adjust gamma. Use the Custom Gamma. My spreadsheet below helps with setting custom gamma.
My Excel Download
For this, I recommend using my spreadsheet. Instructions on how to use the spreadsheet are in the first post of the thread in link to below. I've attached a copy of this file at the end of this post as well. This spreadsheet has been a HUGE help for me. I developed it because I was tired of constantly calculating the correct gamma brightness, and also the primary and secondary color locations, and brightness. To use the spreadsheet, you copy and paste data from HCFR into the excel spreadsheet. It provides charting, target locations for colors and brightness, dE calculations... For your initial calibation, you only need to use the "Calibration Aid" tab. Here is the link:
Go to the Calibration Aid tab. Enter the measured Y value of your 100% Gray window from HCFR. See the pictures below:
Then, using the custom gamma sliders in the EPSON, adjust your Gray windows brightness to match the target Y values (cells N14 thru N24). You will need to adjust the gamma sliders for the 10%, 20%...90% windows. I start with the 90% window, and adjust that, then go to the 80% window and so on until I finish with the 10% window. Some gamma sliders impact more than one brightness window(especially the sliders to the far right), some only impact one (sliders to the left). The sliders on the left affect the darker windows, while the sliders on the right adjust the bright windows. Don't touch the first or last slider! (they impact your 0% grey, and 100% grey, which is brightness and contrast which you've already set)
Alternatively, I've included a table that shows the %Y for each gray window, shown below. (this is more work than my spreadsheet, but the table is provided in case you don't have Excel) For instance, the 30% gray window should measure 6.91% of the 100% gray window. If your 100%Y reading is 20 cd/m2, then the 30% window should read 1.38 cd/m2. This needs to be repeated for the 10-90% windows. Do NOT adjust the 0% or 100% window. (the first and last gamma slider bar). I like my gamma to be 2.22 for all windows except the 10% window, which I like to have at 2.15 gamma to improve shadow detail and prevent black crush.
Gray Window\tRelative to 100% Y 0%\t 0 10%\t 0.60% 20%\t 2.81% 30%\t 6.91% 40%\t 13.08% 50%\t 21.46% 60%\t 32.17% 70%\t 45.30% 80%\t 60.93% 90%\t 79.14% 100%\t 100%
6) Adjust Color Gamut
I go in this order. Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta.
Example of 75% saturation Window
Here are the x, y locations and %Y for each color at 75% saturation.
\tx\ty\tRelative to 100% Y Red\t0.5582\t0.3298\t0.213 Green\t0.3032\t0.5323\t0.715 Blue\t0.1907\t0.1273\t0.072 Yellow\t0.3927\t0.4612\t0.928 Cyan\t0.2466\t0.3288\t0.787 Magenta\t0.3189\t0.1979\t0.285 White\t0.3127\t0.3290\t1.000
If you use my Excel spreadsheet, in the Calibration Aid tab, it will make it easier because the target brightness is also shown. When you adjust saturation on the Epson, the brightness will change. As you increase saturation, the brightness will go up and vice versa. Be aware of this. Your goal is to hit the x, y locations for the 75%, and the correct Y. For example, let's say your 100%Y reading is 25 cd/m2, then Red should hit 5.33 cd/m2 and Green should hit 17.88 cd/m2, and so on. You need to calculate the Y for each color. My spreadsheet does this for you automatically if you enter the 100% Y value.
Special Hint!
I have found a very easy way to hit the correct color locations. This takes away the headache of trying to hit x, y locations (as shown above) and how you adjust saturation and hue to get there. See the red, green, and blue bars in the HCFR picture above? (three pictures back) In the picture, the bars show 98%, 100%, 100% to the left of the ftL and cd/m2 readings. These are the bars I'm talking about. Here are the target %'s for the red, green, and blue bar for each 75% color saturation location. (They are also listed in my Excel spreadsheet on the "Calibration Aid" tab as shown a couple of pictures back).
\t Red Bar Green Bar Blue Bar Red Primary\t 378%\t24%\t24% Green Primary\t 15%\t133%\t15% Blue Primary\t 64%\t64%\t555% Yellow Secondary 106% 106% 17% Cyan Secondary\t 24%\t120%\t120% Magenta Secondary 247%\t41%\t247%
For example, lets say you want to calibrate red. To hit the correct saturation, all you have to do is increase or decrease the red saturation slider in the Epson RGBCMY menu until the red bar reads 378%, and the Green and Blue bar read 24%. If the green and blue bars are not equal, use hue to correct this. Hue is always used to balance colors. When calibrating blue for example, you want green and red to be equal. This creates the correct hue. When adjusting a secondary color, like yellow for example, you want an equal balance of green and red. (red and green will have a high %, while blue will be low.)
Keep in mind that you still need to set brightness (Y) for red, and all the colors The target value will be shown in the "Calibration Aid" spreadheet, or you can calculate it based on the 100% gray window. Remember, calibrate red, green, and blue before you calibrate the secondary colors.
That's it. You're done! Enjoy. You will notice that your 100% colors are oversaturated, but your brightness at these locations will also drop. (I'll write up some more on this later) This helps compensate for the oversaturation. I have found this method to look far superior to the standard method of using the 75% or 100% Brightness Color Windows. If the Epson CMS worked 100% accurately, we would not have to use my method. You could use the standard method.
O.k., so I mentioned that I would explain the brightness drop at 100% saturation, and why this is a good thing. The error in a color (Delta E, or dE) uses saturation, hue and brightness in it's calculation. This means that if a color is oversaturated, you can use a lower brightness to fool the eye into thinking the color is less saturated. This works, but there are limits.
As you can see from the results above, when you use my 75% saturation technique, the 100% locations are oversaturated. What does the brightness of each color do as you increase saturation from 0 to 100%? Look at the picture below. It stays well behaved up to 75%, but then drops at 100%. This drop in brightness helps compensate for the oversaturation. This is why the 75% method provides a picture superior to the standard calibration method even though the 100% points are oversaturated.

or you're convinced there aren't any others around. What do you do then?

alone on a weeknight or if you need an opinion about the tricky or

circle because you've hung around the same friends forever or you want to
meet others with similar interests?

It's an industry that's largely invisible to consumers, yet central to feeding the world's sweet tooth. Cocoa processing - the process of turning raw cocoa beans into powder, liquor and butter - is a major step in creating the candy bars and truffles that line store shelves. And thanks to a recent pair of recent business deals, it's an industry that may never be the same.
Big chocolate is about to get even bigger.
Earlier this month, Reuters reported that commodity behemoth Cargill plans to spend up to $2 billion to buy agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland's (ADM's) cocoa business. If the deal goes through, it'll be the second massive industry tie-up of the year: in July, Switzerland-based chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut scooped up the cocoa unit of Petra Foods for $860 million, becoming the world's largest cocoa processor.
Once fully completed, the two deals will bring more than 60 percent of the world market for cocoa processing under the control of two companies - the latest step in a slow consolidation of the industry that has been ongoing for decades.
While the big companies who buy from these processors - Hershey's, Mars - don't have much to fear, independent chocolatiers around the world are anxious that the deals could not only result in higher prices, but also sap diversity, as these new choco-superpowers no longer have to cater to the special taste and texture requests of smaller producers. But the deals have also got experts worried about the well-being of the people who sell the raw materials to companies like Cargill and Callebaut: cocoa bean farmers, often from the world's poorest countries, who now may face even lower prices for their products.
"It's quite a concentrated market already, and [this deal] may give the big players even more market power," says Laurent Pipitone, director of the economics and statistics division at International Cocoa Organization.
With its purchase, Cargill would end up with 35 percent of the global cocoa processing market, putting it ahead of Callebaut's 25 percent. Many experts say the market for cocoa processing was excessively consolidated even before the latest deals; if the Cargill deal goes through, it will mark the reduction of what was once more than 10 independent firms into two mega-players.
Cargill entered the business in 1987 by buying up General Cocoa Company and Gerkens Cocoa. It has since purchased Wilbur Chocolate Company, OCG Cacao, and Toshoku, as well as a couple of cocoa processing plants from Nestle. ADM snagged some sizable companies of its own before the sale: in 1997, it purchased the Grace Cocoa Company, and in 2009 bought up Schokinag, a prominent German producer. Barry Callebaut, meanwhile, was itself formed through a 1996 merger between Cacao Barry and Callebaut.
Chocolatiers say these mergers mean a further reduction in their sourcing options. Santi Falcone, owner of the independent Dante Confections in North Billerica, Mass., says he relies exclusively on Cargill and ADM for his chocolate. He currently has a six-month contract with Cargill but frequently relies on supplies from ADM if there's a sudden shortage or delay, as he experienced in late October when orders spiked and he had to buy additional cocoa for immediate delivery on short-notice. If the takeover goes through, he said, he'll have no alternative sources: Cargill also bought out his previous supplier, Peter's Chocolate.
"I don't know another company," he said. "There used to be a lot of companies in New York, New Jersey, but they all got gobbled up."
The biggest processors often have long-term partnerships with the biggest confectioners, said Christophe Van Riet, a Boston distributor for mid-sized Belgian chocolate companies. Barry Callebaut, for example, has a long-term contract with Hershey's, which means, Van Riet says, "they don't have to be responsive to the smaller Small and mid-size confectioners have traditionally been able to request specific blends and recipe mixtures from cocoa processors. But as the number of sellers has thinned, chocolatiers struggle to procure these specialties. "When it comes to Belgian chocolate, there is not that much variety anymore," says Van Riet. He explains that his customers "are very nervous" as the consolidation in the industry continues.
By bulking up, Barry Callebaut and Cargill are positioning themselves for a booming market. Retail chocolate prices in the United States have risen by 7 percent over the last year, while wholesale prices have increased by 45 percent since 2007. Euromonitor International estimates chocolate sales will rise 6 percent next year, and cocoa traders say that wholesale prices could reach a record high by the holidays.
Cocoa bean prices have soared partly due to bad weather in West Africa and growing demand from Western Europe, Latin America and Asia. Speculative investors have also poured money into cocoa contracts, boosting futures prices. On Friday, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission reported that money managers held 99,871 of these bullish bets, the largest amount since 2006.
For years, development experts have urged poor nations to climb their way out of poverty by selling their goods in open markets. But even before the recent mergers, a U.N. report from 2008 noted "oligopsonistic structures in cocoa purchasing" that deprived cocoa growers of bargaining power and made collusive behavior among the big companies more likely. The report also observed that growers in three of the major cocoa-producing countries in Africa - Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Nigeria - saw the prices they received for their beans fall relative to world cocoa prices between 1985 and 2005, a period over which processing companies and exporters consolidated and increased their buyer power.
The cocoa production industry has been under scrutiny since a series of articles in the early 2000s documented widespread abuse of child labor and trafficking on West African cocoa farms, where 70 percent of the world's cocoa is produced. Since then, governments and industry have brokered international agreements and donated millions of dollars to ending such exploitation, and last year Cargill outlined its commitment to improving farmers' well-being, and ensuring a sustainable cocoa chain through the "Cargill Cocoa Promise," including running agricultural training programs for growers.
But so far, no independent studies have documented whether such efforts to ensure corporate social responsibility counterbalance the effects of diminished competition. It remains to be seen whether even less pricing power for African growers could lead to a return to past forms of labor exploitation, as tight margins grow even tighter.
Analysts believe regulators may attempt to restrain big chocolate's growth. When the European Commission approved the July deal between Barry Callebaut and Petra, regulators said they were assured that competition from ADM and Cargill would provide sufficient alternatives. The European Commission might, for instance, only permit Cargill to buy up only some of ADM's operations, or require that it divest some existing operations before it proceeds. Analysts predict regulators are especially likely to scrutinize overlapping facilities in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium, and possibly in Brazil.
But these decisions will be made at E.U. headquarters, not by consumers or producers. Will the voices of West African farmers be heard all the way in Brussels? Will your favorite chocolate bar never be the same? With the rise of Big Chocolate, it may be the little guy who pays the biggest price.

Why do wolves howl?
Of all the myths that dog the wolf, none is more widely accepted than the idea that wolves howl at the moon. Images of wolves with their heads upturned, singing at the night sky, are as unquestioned as a goldfish's three-second memory or a dog's color-blindness (both also myths).

Private/Alternative Loan:
The private/alternative loans are commercial educational loans that may be used to close the gap between your financial aid and cost of attendance. Interest rates will vary from lender to lender. We have listed the lenders that our students have used over the past three years. You are not limited to these lenders. Personal research is up to each individual, as Millikin cannot advise on these products.
Refunds may be used for other educational expenses such as housing, meals, books, supplies, etc. If your financial aid creates a credit on your student account, a refund will be issued to you. Please complete and return a Refund Authorization Form.
Refunds are processed once a week. You will be notified through your Millikin email address if a refund has been processed for you. If you have any questions about your account, please contact the Student Service Center at 217.424.6317 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
