There was a national story that was overlooked earlier in the week, which -- when added to the Bandits' announcement about a new general manager -- should teach me not to take a day off.
There will be indoor lacrosse in 2013.
The National Lacrosse League and the Professional Lacrosse Players Association reached a collective bargaining agreement for the 2013 season. The league had opted out of the previous deal, which had two years to run.
Interestingly, the terms were worked out on July 12 here in Buffalo. How did all of those lacrosse negotiators sneak into town without telling anyone about it?
The players weren't in a great bargaining position. The number of teams is down to nine, and that means some good players aren't playing anywhere in the winter and spring. An adjustment to the CBA for the time being probably was in order. A schedule for 2013 will be announced in September.
From here, the league hopes to negotiate a long-term deal with the players. Some sort of stability in that area is probably necessary in order for the NLL to even consider taking in new teams. You probably can come up with your own list of expansion cities that would be considered under new rules. Vancouver is considered the obvious choice, and you'd think Montreal and/or Ottawa would pop up.
The one city that seems like a natural to me is Uniondale, Long Island. The Islanders have been trying to get a new arena built for a while, and a team that would give a few more dates to a new facility strikes me as a good idea. Besides, Long Island has plenty of lacrosse interest. It seems like a good idea for the Islanders to go into the indoor lacrosse business, following the business model that has worked well in Buffalo, Colorado, etc.
In the meantime, the new deal was a necessary first step toward looking ahead. This was no time for a suicidal labor dispute, and it looks like both sides realized that. Nice job.

1996 Tahoe irratic misfire at idle, runs fine off idle and cruise
I am pulling my hair out. I have been having this issue on and off for about 3 years. It did not start until I was in small town and put Kroger's gas in it. It would usually clear up for months after a can of Seafoam ran through the tank. This time it came back and I put in the seafoam and it kept doing it. Then I ran some seafoam through the brake booster hose and fogged it. This only made it worse, I could feel it misfiring on the highway. I had my father-in-law drive it, he is an old school wrench and racer, he thought it might be a vacuum leak. I checked it over with propane and could not find anything. I decided to create a vacuum leak and pulled the pcv hose. The engine picked up a couple hundred rpm and smoothed right out. Hmmm, must be rich. I pulled the plugs and found bank 1 was black while bank 2 was a nice toasty brown. I verified the gap, cleaned them and put them back in on the opposite bank. They are OE AC double platinums. Then I cleaned my K&N filter, the throttle body and replaced the pcv valve. This all seemed cut it down by about 70% but it was still there. So based on all of this I gave it my best guess and replaced the CPI with the updated MFI figuring the poppets or tubes were leaking or clogged. This was last Friday. Friday night it acted up and again Saturday morning so I swapped the 02's to see if the O2 was causing it and then it was fine until coming home from work yesterday. Through all of this I have been driving around with my scanner hooked up and the only thing I see is the fuel trim getting turned up to the max on bank 1 and the O2 going lean. Bank 2 never shows an issue even after I switched them. I cannot locate any vacuum or exhaust leaks. I have checked the distributor and do not feel any play. The cap, rotor and wires do seem to be an issue. I even hosed it down and there was no reaction. The lower intake gasket was replaced a couple of months before the problem originally started. I see other's with the same issue on the net but there are no answers.
P.S. I have not changed the fuel filter but it is next on the list. It is currently soaking up some PB Blaster because I could not break the lines loose. However, I would think if it was a fuel supply issue it would affect both banks.

SO EASY! I used Pilsbury Classic Yellow cake mix (w/ pudding in the mix) and they were delicious! The cookies were even better the next day. Be careful not to over cook them. I took mine out the second I saw a very light golden color around the sides. I let them continue cooking on the baking sheet until they were cool enough to sample- then off the the cooling rack. Betty Crocker Extra Moist cake mix has worked well for me too. :)
It might not be the BEST cookie you've ever had but it probably will be the easiest you've ever made. It also works well with a chocolate cake mix, which my family prefers. ---- I no longer own an electric beater and found that this recipe can be done with a big spoon. Just cut the butter in with a knife and fork first.
I was extremely surprised how great these turned out. Very rich and delicious. You won't believe how much quicker this is. Thanks for a great recipe for a busy mom!!!

World-class research team presents latest macular degeneration findings
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that affects millions of Canadians, is the leading cause of visual loss and blindness in those over the age of 50 and those who suffer from this condition are at higher risk of depression, hip fracture and nursing home admission.
A panel consisting of world-renowned medical researchers and eye surgeons from Queen's University's Department of Ophthalmology plan to discuss a variety of topics pertaining to AMD ranging from the importance of nutrition for preventing the disease to new drugs that are being developed to treat this condition.
"While AMD is a difficult condition to have, things have certainly changed so much in the past decade," says Sanjay Sharma (Ophthalmology), a leading AMD researcher. "Where blindness was once inevitable, I now tell my patients that they have a 50 per cent chance of regaining significant vision. Our researcher team is actively involved in studying the safety of eye injections which is now the cornerstone of treatment for macular degeneration."
The presentation is especially timely considering the significant investment that Hotel Dieu is making in developing its new AMD Treatment Facility, located within the Ophthalmology clinic at Hotel Dieu, where the community can be assessed and treated in a world-class setting.
"We are delighted to soon open the doors to the new AMD facility," says Martin ten Hove (Ophthalmology). "Our doctors are some of the most experienced in the country in treating AMD and our research team is studying ways in which eye procedures can be as safe as possible. The new facility will allow us to take what we do to the next level."
The panel event is part of a national series of events known as Cafés Scientifiques, informal discussions held across Canada that bring together experts and community members. They are sponsored by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), whose mission is to create new scientific knowledge and turn that into improved health, more effective health services and products and a strengthened Canadian healthcare system.
The Kingston event runs June 19 at the University Club, 168 Stuart Street. The 7:30 pm session is free and open to the public.

Roxy (80953) is the Dog of the Day from the Oregon Humane Society.
Roxy is an eight year old German Shepherd / Labrador Retriever mix. She is a sensitive, yet loving girl who is looking to be the queen of her castle. She was adopted for a short time and returned due to her not getting along with the cat. Roxy would benefit from being the only fur-child in the home. Due to her sensitive nature and lack of self confidence, a home without children will be needed. A training consultation is included with her adoption.
Roxy's adoption fee is $85, which includes a collar, ID tag, microchip, free vet examination, one month of pet health insurance, and plenty of information. All pets at the Oregon Humane Society are spayed or neutered and subject to prior adoption. Visit Roxy at 1067 NE Columbia Blvd., or call 503-285-7722 for more information.

The Journal Express
---- — The Knoxville Hormel plant on Friday made a $500 donation to the eight-acre Welcome Home Soldier veterans' memorial in Monroe County.
Albia's Jim Keller and Max Cox, prior to accepting the donation, shared information about the project; one in which Keller has been working on for over eight years. Keller and Cox are veterans themselves. Inspiration for the memorial, and its name, came to Keller after traveling to Springfield, Ill., to meet the author of the book "Beyond Survival." Keller enjoyed the book and was eager to meet the man who penned it.
As Keller approached the author, the man said, "Welcome home, Soldier," to him. Keller, a Vietnam vet, had not heard that since returning from the war.
The memorial includes 31 pieces of granite, names, flags, white crosses which are lit each evening. Beyond honoring those who have served, Keller said the memorial should also be a learning tool.
"We want it to be a history lesson," Keller said. Much of the memorial has already been erected. Over $750,000 has been raised, but there is more work to do. Keller stressed that the memorial is not an Albia memorial, nor one for just Monroe County or Iowa, but for all veterans. He envisions the memorial, when completed, as a national monument to America's heroes.
Hormel Plant Manager Troy Hawkshead said the company has supported the memorial in various ways for years. He is proud of what his employees have done to serve their country and community. The memorial is a nice way to honor our veterans' selfless acts, he added.
The $500 donation, presented to Keller by Don Lindley, comes from the plant's discretionary fund. For more information on the memorial, visit www.monroecoia.us.

OLEAN -- No. 11 Xavier tips off against St. Bonaventure in the Reilly Center in about half an hour. The Musketeers are 13-3 overall with losses at MIchigan State, Michigan and to No. 11 LSU. They're 3-0 in the Atlantic 10 and head-and-shoulders above the rest of the conference.
Xavier is led by Amber Harris (14.9 ppg, 8.9 rpg) and Ta'Shai Phillips (13.4 ppg, 9.3 rpg). Big and strong they dominate the low post but also shoot well from three-point range. For the Bonnies (14-5, 2-2) to have a chance at making a game of it they need to slow the pace of the game down to a near crawl, shoot well from outside and limit Xavier's offensive possessions.
Check back for updates throughout the game.
First half
15:14: Xavier leads, 7-5 on a three-pointer by April Phillips. Bona took a 5-2 lead and is moving the ball well on offense.
11:28: A three-pointer by Cara Gustafson puts Bona up, 8-7. The Bonnies are doing what they need -- running their offense for 30 seconds to limit Xavier's opportunities on the other end. The offense looks OK, but better shot selection late in the clock would be beneficial.
8:53: Bona calls a 30-second time out as Xavier goes up, 16-8. The Bonnies are missing their shots and Xavier's offense is starting to click with high-low passes and outside shots.
7:57: A jumper by Megan Van Tatenhove cuts the Xavier lead to 16-10.
3:36: Bona got as close as four, 20-16, after back-to-back three-pointers from Jessica Jenkins but Xavier again pushed the lead back to eight, 24-16.
Halftime: Xavier leads, 29-18. The Bonnies had an opportunity to keep it under double-digits but a steal and fastbreak layup by Special Jennings extended the lead to 11 for the break. Jennings leads all scorers with 10 points. Xavier has dominated the glass, 20-13, and the paint (20 points versus two for Bona) but the Bonnies have six steals have limited their own turnovers and hit 4-for-9 from three-point range to stay in the game. Jenkins leads Bona's offense with six points.
Second half
15:43: An 11-0 run by Bona has the team within two, 31-29. Andrea Doneth has eight points this half including two traditional three-point plays.
10:57: The Bonnies tied the game, 31-31 but Xavier went on a 12-0 run fueled by three straight three-pointers to take a 43-31 lead. The Bonnies are working the shot clock but failing to consistently get quality shots and Xavier is starting to run off misses catching the Bona defense unset.
7:47: Xavier leads, 45-38. The Bonnies aren't going away as they earn trips to the free throw line.
2:04: Xavier takes control of the game, 60-37, dominating the low post.
Final: Xavier wins, 62-53.

One India plan: BSNL gets 2.5 lakh users
Our Bureau
New Delhi , March 24
The Government's One India initiative seems to have caught the imagination of the subscribers. The state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has already got 2.5 lakh subscribers on the new scheme, which offers STD calls at Re 1 a minute. Private operators said that the numbers would be clearer only by the month-end. They said that response to the scheme has been good since the tariff plan was launched from March 1 onwards.
Operators said that One India plan, along with the lifetime validity pre-paid card offers, was set to take the subscriber growth in March to a higher level. Operators have been reporting additions of over four million new subscribers every month and this month, the numbers are expected to be close to five million.
The Department of Telecom has already said that the growth levels being witnessed by India in the mobile segment is unparalleled in the world.
Meanwhile, operators, including BSNL, said that consumers will get further rebates in tariffs and more value-added services. One India tariff plan had also brought down the ISD rates by over 60 per cent. Though the monthly rentals has been revised upwards in this plan, subscribers making a lot of long distance calls are lapping up the product. The plan was launched as a result of policy initiatives to bring down the cost of offering services, including relaxing the licence fee for long distance operators and also bringing down the subsidy burden on operators, through the access deficit charge by nearly Rs 2,000 crore.

We should never think that the question "Who has the power to make law?" is a dry, academic question. The Founding Fathers fought a war over it. And today, our freedoms are being taken from us principally because we've allowed various government agencies to violate the fundamental principle of self-government. On this week's edition of Home School Heartbeat, Michael Farris explains these violations and why we must fight to preserve this right.

Traveller-AR is an iPhone RPG first, and an MMO second…
We let you get deep into character… actually FEEL like you are in Space. And become immersed in the Millions of pages of content developed for Traveller the Classic Pen & Paper RPG.
Playable Characters at Launch
The scout is by nature a curious and inquisitive type, always wondering what is around the next corner. For the Scout, life is about the journey, not the destination. They tend to be solitary types, taking on passengers and crew only as needed. The Imperial Scout Service (ISS) offers training for such types and a ship upon mustering out. Membership in the ISS is for a lifetime and they may be called back into service in times of need for special missions. As a benefit, the scout may get free fuel and basic repairs at any scout base and they are welcomed there to rest, recuperate and socialize (as much as scouts do) with their peers. A scout makes his primary living by surveying parsecs, getting paid to keep the star maps accurate, and marking areas of unrest or dangerous conditions to warn fellow Travellers. They are well training in piloting and the skill of Astrogating which is the careful planning of interstellar jumps. They also tend to pick up pretty good combat skills in their training and travels.
These gregarious types are "hail fellow, well met" kind of guys (or girls). They know how to talk a spaceport merchant out of his goods for less than the going rate. They are most conformable when wheeling and dealing in a Starport's trade center. Space is just what's between them and the next deal. While they don't get special privileges at any of the bases, they can generally cut a better deal than anyone else, giving them the profits to pay for whatever luxuries they want.
Spacer (Navy)
These gung ho types see themselves as the protector of the Imperium and a champion for justice. Even after leaving Imperial Navy service, they can act as "consultants", being paid on piece work for every bandit or pirate destroyed. Their ships reflect this singular purpose, designed to hunt down enemies of the Imperium and deliver justice, spacer style. Their training is big on combat mostly ship-based and light on the academics. They are quick with a laser turret, fast to pull the trigger and a lot of fun in the spaceport bar. Their veteran status allows them to dock at any Naval stations for a quick fill up and hull patch. Long live the Emperor!
Characters (and new play-styles) we'll be adding after launch:
Spacer (Civil)
These navy trained characters are just as skilled as their spacer brethren, but prefer the peaceful life over that of combat. They've learned to make a living off of their skills, transporting people from star system to star system for profit. But in a pinch, they can fly the pants off of most other untrained pilots and know how to defend themselves when called on. It's not as boring as it sounds, with some of the passengers and getting them to their destinations can get quite interesting. But generally they avoid trouble, as losing passengers is not the way to riches as a civil star pilot.
Merchant Marine
A graduate of the planet- based Army and Marine forces, these pugilistic types never back down from a good fight and are skilled in the combat arts. Though they've moved into more respectable mercantile work, they are subject to recall at a moment's notice for military reserve work and their ships can be commandeered when needed in a larger conflict.
Not used to being in polite society, the Belters tend to lack social graces and come from less privileged backgrounds. But what they lack in charisma, they make up for in sheer industriousness, able to fix star drives, cob together robots and generally make repairs themselves and avoid the high cost of Starports. Handy with tools and an astro-welder, Belters do not seek the comforts and amenities of the Starport until it's time to unload their cargo holds of ore.
These characters could care less about trade routes or number of kills; they are all about data. The more they collect the more they get paid. And the more scientists on their ships, the more data they can collect. Research stations are both where they get paid and safe havens, where ship refueling and repairs come free. While simple planetary orbit and study can earn them a decent wage, more complicated (and dangerous) research missions are available sometimes for the more adventurous nerdy types.
These characters of high social standing are typically outfitted with the flashiest ships and clothes, befitting their noble station. Their ships may not be the best in a fight or carry a lot of cargo, but they sure do look good. They strive to climb the social and political ladder in the Imperium by doing tasks and performing missions for various political entities. Delivering a diplomatic dispatch or accompanying a high ranking politician on a trade mission is all means to an end for these ambitious blue bloods. Their ultimate goal is becoming Duke or Duchess of a whole sector, with all the status and trappings that brings. Beyond that, one can only aspire one step higher, though thoughts such as those are best kept to yourself.
We'll be adding more classes than even these in the future! In addition, right out of the gate: you will NOT be limited to just one play-style. All characters may advance in ANY class… Want to be a Spacer-Trader… no problem! Multiclassing is a major part of the Traveller AR iPhone RPG franchise. You will never be bored, even though it is possible that you will get lost in space.

ClassicGaming.com's MuseumColecoVision - 1982-1984
(Also known as the Personal Arcade, DINA)
System History
In August 1982, Coleco released the ColecoVision, a new $175 videogame system with graphics and sound superior to both the Atari 2600 and the Intellivision. What really "made" the ColecoVision, however, was its pack-in game: the mega-popular Donkey Kong. In any event, Coleco's console went on to become one of the most popular game machines among 1980s players, as well as among today's classic gamers.
Coleco (a contraction of COnneticut LEather COmpany) was founded in 1932 and originally sold leather supplies to shoemakers. They eventually got into leather craft kits (since Davy Crockett and Howdy Doody were popular back then), and they sold pretty well. Later, Coleco got into plastics and started manufacturing kiddie pools. By 1960, pool sales had reached over one million dollars a year. In 1962 the leather goods division was sold, and Coleco went public. Coleco continued expanding its swimming pool business and by the late 1960s it was the world's largest manufacturer of above-ground swimming pools. Since swimming pools were obviously seasonal, the company looked into other areas to invest. Some things worked (doll carriages and table top hockey games), others (snowmobiles and dirt bikes) didn't. Earnings throughout the '70s were unstable and the company almost went under in 1978.
Coleco got into the videogame business with the Telstar (which was basically a Pong clone) in 1976. Ralph Baer, the engineer who designed the first-ever home videogame system, helped get Telstar off the ground. The full story is available here. Telstar started out strong, but production problems, a dock strike, and the move towards more flexible systems caused Coleco to eventually lose $22.3 million. This was somewhat offset by sales of hand-held videogames, of which Coleco sold about $20 million worth.
In 1982, while Atari and Mattel were busy trashing each other's products, Coleco released the superior ColecoVision with Donkey Kong as the pack-in. It was an immediate success. After untangling itself from a few legal snags (Coleco and Nintendo were threatened with lawsuits from Universal Studios who claimed Donkey Kong was an infringement on King Kong), Coleco sold out its first one million systems almost immediately. By 1983 the ColecoVision was beating out both Atari and Mattel in sales.
The ColecoVision not only had better graphics and sound than its competitors, but it also had more expandability. Accessories included a steering wheel (with gas pedal) and a 2600 adapter that let you play Atari 2600 games on your ColecoVision. Atari sued Coleco over the adapter, but Coleco won (later, Coleco sold its own standalone 2600 clone, the Gemini). Most Coleco games were solid arcade ports, usually almost indistinguishable from the real thing, and ColecoVision quickly became the hardcore videogamers' system of choice.
ColecoVisions were marketed in Europe by CBS Electronics and sold under the CBS name.
Even though the ColecoVision was very popular in the early 1980s, home computers were starting to overtake game consoles simply because they were more "respectable" in the eyes of parents. So in June 1983, Coleco jumped into the home computer business with the ADAM. It was a very pricey system that included a tape recorder, keyboard, printer, and the ability to play ColecoVision games, supporting both cartridges and cassettes. Unfortunately, the system was very buggy (an alarming number of systems had to be sent back for repairs right out of the box) and Coleco lost over $80 million on the machine. After almost bankrupting itself, Coleco halted production on all video game systems in late 1984, getting out of the videogame business just as the entire industry crashed down around them.
Luckily, Coleco's Cabbage Patch Doll division kept the company alive. However, Coleco handled Cabbage Patch production poorly, resulting in massive shortages, but the company still ended up with record sales of $600 million in 1985. Then, Coleco got stupid again and began a massive expansion. In retrospect, this was obviously a bad move since the consumer frenzy over Cabbage Patch Dolls proved to be a short-lived fad. In 1986, sales of Cabbage Patch Dolls fell to $250 million and the company lost $111 million. In 1987, the company lost another $105 million. In 1988, Coleco filed for bankruptcy. Coleco planned to stay in business (it also was the distributor of Scrabble and Parcheesi, two of the most popular board games ever), but Hasbro bought the company out in June 1989 and Coleco faded into history. Ironically, Mattel (the maker of the Intellivision) now owns the rights to Cabbage Patch Dolls.
By the time Coleco stopped videogame production in 1984, the company had sold more than six million ColecoVisions in just three years. This was amazing, especially considering 1984 was the year of the great videogame "crash." Some experts believe that if the crash hadn't happened, the ColecoVision could have gone through the '80s as the system of choice, especially if its proposed Super Game Module was released. Coleco was clearly beating out Atari and Mattel, but even so it couldn't survive the crash. The ADAM debacle certainly didn't help the company either.
The ColecoVision introduced two new concepts to the home videogame industry: the ability to expand the hardware system, and the ability to play the games of another videogame system. The ColecoVision, combined with its "Expansion Module #1" which plays Atari 2600 cartridges, has more playable games than any other system ever made. This was a major selling point for the ColecoVision and makes it an attractive system for today's classic console player.
Telegames eventually acquired the rights to the ColecoVision and bought most of Coleco's stock, much of which is still available through their Web site. The Britain-based company also released a few titles of its own. In 1988, Telegames began manufacturing and distributing the Bit Corporation-designed Dina 2-in-1 ColecoVision clone. Telegames renamed the console the Telegames Personal Arcade, and has continued selling them to this day. It's much smaller than the original ColecoVision and uses joypads instead of the awkward ColecoVision stick. The pads have no numeric keypad, which is instead built into the unit. There is only one keypad, however, so two-player games requiring the keypad won't work on the Personal Arcade. The Personal Arcade also has an expansion port, but its physical configuration makes it incompatible with Coleco's expansion units. In addition, there have been a number of claims that some Personal Arcade machines have a defect where the screen RAM chips are fed too much voltage. As a result, these machines can become permanently damaged after even short periods of play. The Personal Arcade console comes with its own built-in game, Meteoric Shower.
Telegames recently released Personal Arcade Volume One (not to be confused with its console), a collection of ten emulated ColecoVision games for Windows 95.
ECOLECO (formerly Coleco Adam's House) is another company that acquired substantial amounts of ColecoVision and ADAM inventory (they describe it as "some 50,000+ pounds of components, systems, hardware, software, cartridge games, etc."). Vintage games and accessories, as well as copies of some previously unreleased games, are availalble on their Web site and through their sister site.
The ColecoVision had quite a few great games; its game library was primarily a collection of overlooked (but fun) coin-op ports. Coleco's software approach was to go after licensed arcade games that Atari had missed and to make cartridges for the 2600 and Intellivision in addition to its own system. Realizing that Atari had firm support from Namco (creators of Pac-Man and many other hits), Coleco involved itself with companies like Sega, Konami, and Universal. The ColecoVision had enough power to produce nearly perfect arcade-quality ports, which boosted its popularity quite a bit. Industry magazines like Electronic Games were unanimous in their enthusiasm over Coleco's marvelous machine.
Some of the more popular games included Donkey Kong (the pack-in), Donkey Kong Junior, Carnival, Lady Bug, Mouse Trap, Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle, and Zaxxon. The system's translation of Spy Hunter may be the best version of the game short of arcade emulation. The ColecoVision didn't really have many revolutionary new games, since most of its popular titles were arcade ports. Still, there are a few notable original titles like War Room, Illusions, and Fortune Builder, an early milestone in the style of Sim City.
All Coleco cartridges and most third-party titles had a twelve second delay before the game select screen showed up. One reason for this that is commonly cited (and apparently mentioned in a magazine at the time) is that before the ColecoVision reached the marketplace, Coleco invested heavily in advertising for the system, building up significant demand. The problem was software support. Few programmers knew the ColecoVision's quirky assembly language, and there wasn't time to train them. So the engineers at Coleco designed an emulator that allowed programmers to code in a far more common and well known language, Pascal. Coleco then hired programmers familiar with Pascal to design software for the ColecoVision, and thus were able to provide software to meet the demand. The only problem with the scheme was a twelve second delay the emulator caused while starting up. This story, while entertaining, is not true. The real reason behind the twelve second delay is a loop in the ColecoVision BIOS, so the delay was purely intentional. Some companies like Parker Brothers, Activision, and Micro Fun avoided the delay by simply bypassing the loop in the BIOS.
Coleco was infamous for not putting out the cartridges it advertised. In most cases, it isn't certain if games that never came out were advertised using actual screenshots of a game or artist renditions designed to look like a completed game. Nevertheless, over fifty ColecoVision games were advertised in catalogs or on boxes, but never released. To this day, ColecoVision owners lament their inability to play announced games like Dracula and Tunnels and Trolls.
In 1997, ColecoVision was given its first "homebrew" game, the Tetris clone Kevtris by Kevin Horton. Since then, homebrew designer extraordinaire John Dondzila has released three new ColecoVision games, Space Invasion, Star Fortress, and Purple Dino Demo. See his website for more details. Also be sure to check out Daniel Bienvenu's DacMan.
The ColecoVision was well known for its expansion modules: Expansion Module #1 was the Atari 2600 adapter, which allowed almost every 2600 game to be played on the ColecoVision (it also accepted 2600 joysticks). This adapter caused a flurry of lawsuits between Atari and Coleco, but Coleco eventually won. Expansion Module #2 was a driving controller with a steering wheel and gas pedal which came with Sega's Turbo. Expansion Module #3 was originally intended to be the Super Game Module. The SGM was supposed to add 30K of RAM and use 128K "microwafers" shaped like microcassettes. It promised games with intermissions, high-score lists, and extra levels. At first Coleco said the SGM would come packaged with Super Donkey Kong, but later they changed it to Super Buck Rogers and Super Gorf. Later rumors indicated that the Super Game Module would utilize Capacitance Electronic Disks (CEDs), a storage medium similar to vinyl records that had been developed by RCA as a cheap alternative to laserdiscs. A former Coleco employee recently confirmed that prototype Super Game Modules were test-marketed, but in the end, Coleco shelved the SGM and developed the ADAM computer instead. ADAM became the new Expansion Module #3.
Besides the customary third-party joysticks and controllers, there was also Coleco's own Roller Controller (a trackball) and Super Action Controllers, as well as Personal Peripherals' Super Sketch Pad, which allowed video artists to draw on-screen images. Such add-ons were welcome, especially since the standard Coleco controllers were cases of arthritis waiting to happen.
Coleco had plans for an Intellivision adapter, and even produced working prototypes, but never released it. Other planned accessories included a modem (there was a major AT&T tie-in planned), and the Sensory Grip Controller, which would of been very much like today's force feedback controllers had it made it into production.
There are quite a few good ColecoVision emulators, which you can find in our ColecoVision emulators section.
Interesting footnote: Coleco paid $250,000 for the rights to Donkey Kong. Atari paid an estimated $21 million to license the rights to E.T. videogames. Who do you think got the better deal?

Holiday Tradition Continues at WHMS
For the last 15 years, a holiday tradition has been established at Wisconsin Hills Middle School that integrates academic curriculum (mental math of fractions, percentages and decimals) and a charitable spirit of giving to the less fortunate of our community. It is the annual 7th Grade Gift Giving Field Trip.
After weeks of classroom instruction and preparation, the culminating activity is for six busloads of students, teachers and parents to meet at the mall to use their mental math skills to shop for needy families. After a morning of comparison shopping and math skills, each group has lunch, then sets out to shop for the person whose wish will come true. The students decide which store has the best value for their money and purchase the gifts. Boston Store, J.C. Penney and Sears all discount merchandise, so gifts are more affordable. The gift is later wrapped and tagged for distribution to the individual. Smiles and feelings of good will are abundant when students get their picture taken with their gift at the end of the field trip.
Where does this money come from each year, you might ask? Every student is given a bank and each family saves their change for weeks to help purchase these presents, so the motto "a little change makes a lot of cents" becomes true. The students, parents and staff of Wisconsin Hills Middle School collaborate their time and energy to make this a memorable event each year.
Winter Concert — "Dress Your Best"
Dec. 20th is "dress your best" day as 4th and 5th grade students entertain the Brookfield Elementary community with a Winter Concert. The band, orchestra and chorus will be showcasing their musical talent.

With over twelve million game plays, the original GemCraft became a massive success. The difference between GemCraft 2 and other tower defense games is the ability to mix and match your own gems. The gems are your work force and will stop the evil monsters from penetrating your own fortress. When killing monsters you gain mana which is needed to create new gems and upgrade old ones, which is highly needed when the over monsters become many and overpowered.
When you've managed to take down all the monsters on the field you have become victorious, and you will see your total score. The total score will become a motivation throughout the game as you level up once you've gotten a certain amount of points. When you level up you will be able to choose new skills from the skills list, and when you've done something extraordinary in GemCraft 2 you will receive amulets that proves your heroicness. As well as gaining skill points and amulets you will also unlock new levels as you play along. New levels means more waves of monsters, and which again equals to more cash, skill points and amulets.
Quick tip: Having few and overpowered gems in GemCraft 2 might be more useful and handy rather than having many weak ones that will costs half the price and do half the work.

I have a command that keeps executing randomly. What do I do? (self.linuxquestions)
submitted 1 year ago by JoeyBananaz
As it stands, when I type "top" I consistently see a command that seems to be running and then after about 5 seconds it disappears. It's eating up quite a bit of the CPU and I have no idea how to block this from happening. Anyone have any ideas?
[–]0x2a 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
Well it's either called from cron or by some other program. You can run pstree to see the parent process. If it's run by cron, remove it from the crontab of the user. If it's called by another script, go fix that.
[–]JoeyBananaz[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
So I used pstree to see what it's parent process is and I saw it listed as:
Where customCall is the command we created. I then did "crontab -l" to see all of the crontabs there were active and only saw one that called run.sh (run.sh calls customCall). However then I did "crontab -r" and now hwen I do crontab -l it says "no crontab for candidate" and the above tree is still the same when I call pstree.
Any ideas?
[–]0x2a 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Sounds like it's still in the crontab of another user, crontab -l only shows your own tab (unless you use -u).
crontab -l
Either use ps or top to see which user still calls run.sh, or just grep the files in /var/spool/cron/crontabs.
500 31704 0.0 0.0 1856 320 ? S 16:22 0:00 /usr/local/bin/customCall --silent --ntasks 2 --ttime 4
500 31705 5.0 0.0 1856 140 ? RN 16:22 0:00 /usr/local/bin/customCall --silent --ntasks 2 --ttime 4
500 31706 5.0 0.0 1856 140 ? RN 16:22 0:00 /usr/local/bin/customCall --silent --ntasks 2 --ttime 4
500 31708 0.0 0.1 5496 732 pts/0 S+ 16:22 0:00 grep customCall
That is what I get when I use ps aux | grep customCall. I have no idea which user it is specifying right now. I'm really confused.
The first column shows the numeric userid 500. Apparently it's the same user that runs the grep, i.e. you.
That the numeric uid is not resolved can have multiple causes, e.g. some funky LDAP setup with problems in the NSS layer or maybe the user was deleted from /etc/passwd since the process was started. Looks like this whole system is a bit messed up :)
So back to the problem, looks like it's still your user calling the script. It's probably an old run.sh that was started before you removed the cron entry. Use ps -ef instead, the output will have the PPID (parent process id) in the third column. Look at what it is and kill it.
ps -ef
[–]JoeyBananaz[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
That was it :) thank you!!!
[–]Endomandioviza 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Does it have a different process id each time?
Yeah, every time it comes back with a different process ID. I don't know how much this may help.
If you view the process with ps in tree mode it may give hints as to what's launching it.
cron is the standard scheduling daemon.
What command is it?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Which command?
It's one that a friend of mine created, clearly he messed something up for it to be running constantly like this though.
[–]jones_supa 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Can you consult your friend to fix it? He probably knows best what it does and how it is configured.
Here's the thing, he had someone help him who is not responding to us whatsoever.

This is almost completely unrelated to the Bears as a whole, so I'll be relegating this to the home of quality posts, otherwise known as the sidebar. I hope you guys don't mind me cluttering up your good stuff with my mindless ramblings. So, I think I've created a little Bears fan.
For Christmas, what did he want? Presents. What kind of presents? Orange presents, and blue presents.
He turns three in a few days, and what kind of cake does he want? An orange cake with blue icing.
Is there a sports event on TV? That means the Bears are playing. Even when it isn't football, it's still the Bears.
Should the Bears be mentioned in casual conversation, an exclamation of GOOOO BEARS is likely to follow, sometimes accompanied by the throwing of the touchdown hand signals.
I'm a super proud Daddy, and apparently a Papa Bear as well. Although, I did cede rights of baseball teams to his mom, I wouldn't wish a lifetime of Cubs fandom on anyone. :D

The only problem is that the celebration seems to be taking place two years past its designated time.
In 1860, the first two ships carrying Indian indentured labour from Madras and Calcutta reached South African shores in what is today known as the KwaZulu Natal province. Which makes 2010 as the 150th year of their arrival. That's the dominant view there although another school of thought believes the first Indians actually came in 1849.
In fact, in 2010, an Indian-South African by the name of Ray Bisnath even launched a limited edition of gold medallions to mark 150 years of Indians coming to South Africa.
The medallions featured an engraving of the ships Truro and Belvedere, which are today of historical importance to Indians there. The event was widely written about and discussed in South Africa in 2010.
Hindi film actors Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapur had performed in Durban in Jan 2011 to commemorate the same event. A T20 international had been played between the two countries then on Jan 9 which India had won by 21 runs.
Cricket South Africa executive consultant Michael Owen-Smith says that Friday's match is only an extension of the earlier celebrations. And that we might even see more of them in the future.
"We have decided to make it an annual event. The T20 matches may happen one year in India and the other in South Africa. We are looking at something like that," he told TOI over the phone from South Africa.
The announcement of the match was made as recently as March 5. It was one of the last decisions taken by Gerald Majola before he was suspended as CSA chief executive following a judicial report on undeclared bonuses paid to him.

11th Massachusetts Monument Update
Contact: Katie Lawhon, (717) 334-1124, ext. 3251
Gettysburg National Military Park has received the finished carved granite arm for the 11thMassachusetts Infantry monument from Granite Industries of Vermont. This is nearly the final step required before full repairs to the monument that was vandalized seven years ago this month. Final work will entail the installation of the sword and hand guard at the park's monument shop.
Last winter, using a large collection of photos to ensure the correct size and shape, park preservation worker Brian Griffin sculpted the arm out of clay, then made a mold and created a plaster model that was shipped to Vermont for replication in stone.
No specific timeline has been set for returning the feature to the monument on the battlefield but it will be completed this year before Memorial Day. The 4thNew York Artillery (Smith's Battery), the 114thPennsylvania Infantry, and the 11thMassachusetts Infantry monuments were vandalized overnight on February 15-16, 2006. The park has repaired both the 4th NY and the 114th Pennsylvania monuments.
Despite a $30,000 reward for information, no arrests or convictions for the vandalism have been made. The investigation is on going and information or tips regarding this crime can be reported to Gettysburg National Military Park law enforcement at (717) 334-0909.
Did You Know?
The statue of General Robert E. Lee atop the Virginia Monument at Gettysburg National Military Park was sculpted by F. William Sievers. A similar equestrian statue of Lee is located on Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia.
