I have had a variety of headphones, Skull Candy, Sony, Bose, etc... these are by far the best headphones I have ever owned. Now I know 200 bucks is steep for headphones (I know, I said the same thing) until I put these on. I was like, "Oh, where have you been all my life?!". I will admit you have to play around with the adjustment a little or it will hurt your ears after a while, but that's just due to inappropriate fit. Once these things are dialed in its like Candy for your ears!!! …

Buy studios
The cords both lasted longer than the headphones themselves. Buy the studios they are better quality. Lasted only about 10 months.

Beats Headphones had been all over the place one or two years ago. I'd tried a pair in one of the Apple Retail Stores and I though t this is the right pair of headphones for me. However, after prolonged use, I need to admit that this is one of the worst decision of my life.
First and foremost, this pair of headphones focus too much on the bass. Yes, when I purchased these headphones, I was fond of this kind of music. However, after a few months, I found out that the headphones couldn't handle the high and mids very well. The bass often dominates, even on occasions that the high or mids should be emphasised. The headphones can handle high, mids and bass SEPARATELY in my opinion, but when all the 3 are combined together, expect the bass to stand out.
Next on the list is comfort. Solo HD has leather ear cups, which I highly appreciate. However, maybe because I have large ears, but it seems to me that the headphones are kind of small. I can't use these headphones for more than one hour because my ears will hurt.
Lastly it's the quality itself. After half a year I started to notice that the right side of my headphones had some sort of buzzing sounds when I turn the volume up. I got myself a replacement shortly after I discovered the problem. However, my current pair had the same problem on the left side after half a year again.
199.95 USD is way too high for this pair of headphones with such quality. The reason I'm still giving 2-stars is because the design of the headphones is one of the best on the market, and the bass, well, is not bad at all. Consider these only if you're up to bass music, or else your music will be horribly distorted. …- Written by Eddie T from 香港

Don't believe the hype!
Super bass heavy! Buy them only if you're a serious bass head. Some tracks sound ok, but if you listen to more than hip hop or dub step move on because they sound REALLY bad on everything else. They look cool, but are starting to become a cliche and a bit cheesy. I personally was surprised at how bad they sounded considering they are so popular. …

Any thoughts from VT fans on your new OC?
Word on Reddit is that he is meh
Not excited
Wanted PEP
Would have loved Pep but the NFL came calling. He would be gone within 2 years regardless.
This guy, eh, lets see. He isn't Stiney or O'Cain and should have a real system in place as opposed to the borg offense of 10 years wihch just throws in elements of every offense ever with no real plan.
The hotter the heat, the harder the steel, no pressure no diamonds, we compete, we win
We are the next decade of the Washington Redskins
The knock on the new guy from what ive read, is that he doesnt seem to have a full blown system either. Auburns offense finished 115th in total yards last year, but I think he'll be more successful with LT running his plays.
What made VT fans think they could get a coach from Stanford to take a lateral position?
The important thing is that Stinespring is gone
The concern is that Mr 115th Offense is taking over
I don't expect improvement until I see it on the field. I don't see any reason to be positive
No idea, but based on the Stanford WR coach making a lateral move to VT, something clearly was there.
As for Auburn's offense last year, well apparently Auburn was a complete basket case in general the last year. He did have success at Temple, so who knows.
I am very wait and see on this.

The media spun Te'o tragedy into a storyline as word came out that Te'o lost his grandmother and girlfriend in less than 48 hours
Turns out the GF never existed
But there is no SSA record there of the death of Lennay Marie Kekua, that day or any other. Her passing, recounted so many times in the national media, produces no obituary or funeral announcement in Nexis, and no mention in the Stanford student newspaper.
Nor is there any report of a severe auto accident involving a Lennay Kekua. Background checks turn up nothing. The Stanford registrar's office has no record that a Lennay Kekua ever enrolled. There is no record of her birth in the news. Outside of a few Twitter and Instagram accounts, there's no online evidence that Lennay Kekua ever existed.
The photographs identified as Kekua—in online tributes and on TV news reports—are pictures from the social-media accounts of a 22-year-old California woman who is not named Lennay Kekua. She is not a Stanford graduate; she has not been in a severe car accident; and she does not have leukemia. And she has never met Manti Te'o.

When it comes to things like this, there are just some things you cannot make up
You cannot make up a friend who "died", especially some girl who never existed. You cannot moan and cry about people who do not exist, to the national media. The nerve of him to make a story up and then perpetrate it around the MSM like it was news. If this is true, I have lost respect for him.
And I know, what does my respect mean, I'm just a nobody, I'm just pouting off on my soapbox again. But how can you lie about something like this? Why?
It just makes me extremely disappointed to hear this, if true. And it seems like it is true.

Bruno Spengle r entered the 2012 season of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters racing series with few expectations.
After all, the 2011 DTM runner-up had just left the Mercedes-Benz HWA Team to join the all-new Team Schnitzer, which is powered by BMW.
Spengler, who was born in Schiltigheim, France, but grew up near Saint-Hippolyte after moving here with his family at age 3, did not think he or his BMW team would be able to compete for the championship.
"We were a new team and we had a lot of things to learn and experience to gain compared to our opponents," he said, singling out teams like Audi and Mercedes.
"I knew we had a lot of things to catch up on," the 29-year-old said. "I thought we are probably going to win races and be on podiums, but I didn't know when."
It didn't take long for Spengler, who lives in Switzerland, to see results as he was able to win the second race of the season — the first of four races that would see him atop the podium in 2012. By mid-season, Spengler says the team was starting to believe a championship was possible.
He credited his team's hard work as one of the major factors behind his success.
"The mechanics, they started the season with a pit stop of four seconds, and they ended the year with pit stops of 2.9 seconds," Spengler said during a chat while seated in a BMW Z4 at the Montreal International Auto Show. "A pit stop … is pretty much 50 per cent of the race. If you lose a second in the pits, it will be very difficult to get it back on the track."
Last season marked the fifth straight season — out of his eight in DTM — that Spengler was in the running for the title. "So I think I am also not a bad driver," he said with a chuckle.
He won the final race of the season at the Hockenheimring to claim the drivers' title over Gary Paffett, a former teammate at HWA Team.
And one of Spengler's wins in 2012 came at the world-famous Nurburgring, where he posted a clean sweep of pole position, fastest lap and taking the checkered flag only four days before his birthday.
While Spengler says repeating as DTM champion would be great, he admits it will be a challenge.
"My goal this season is to win as many races as possible," he said. "I won't think about the championship. Now it's a new season, a new challenge and it's not because I defend the championship that I have to do something different."
Spengler, who admits to feeling nostalgic every time he returns to Montreal — "This is home and I miss this," he said — is preparing as best he can for the upcoming season.
"And just do the things I can do best, which is racing as best as I can and try and win races. That is my goal," he said.
The 10-race 2013 season kicks off May 5 and the DTM circuit will, for the first time, race in Russia with an event at the Moscow Raceway on Aug. 4.
When asked if he had a goal set of one day reaching the pinnacle of racing, Formula One, Spengler said he is comfortable where he is right now.
"Formula One is an amazing series, but I wouldn't go away from DTM for being in Formula One on a team that has no chance to win races," he said. "I am racing and I want to win.
"I would have to think a lot before leaving what I have."
He did admit, however, that if BMW were to return to F1, that is something he would be open to exploring.
"This is a different story, but I don't know if this is going to happen, to be honest. Our main focus is DTM at the moment."
A seat in F1 would allow Spengler, who started racing go karts competitively at age 10 in Canada and France, to return to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, where he has raced only once, in 2002 for a Fran Am race during the Champ Car weekend.
"I love this track," said Spengler, who attended the Sedberg school in Montebello while growing up. "It's an amazing track to drive on. I had so much fun driving here and I would love to race here in DTM. That would be amazing."

#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!
Cigar Box Nation is sponsored by C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply, your one-stop-shop for Cigar Box Guitar parts and accessories!
For you cats getting up on stage, what is your setup and music style? I'm especially interested in amps and such.
i busk more than play gigs, so batteries are the way forward for me. i run a couple of pedals into a Vox mini 3 and sometimes run that into a Xion tailgator portable PA for more noise. anyone else?
I'm leaning towards a VHT Special 6 Ultra combo, seems highly rated and easy to destroy with mods. Anyone with experience with these? Again, it'll be mic'ed, so I just need stage volume.
Ordered the S6U combo, along with a Danelectro Spring King reverb pedal and Artec delay. Lots of mods possible for everything, to keep my bank account dry! Man, my JuJu pup and Old Lowe stuff's gotta get here- the wife's going away so I can build the new git and jam! I'll be using my Crate GT15R combo for low-fi voice and the stomper. Should be a good mic'able stage setup. I think I'll have to actually record something, maybe a Fang cover...
Actually, I think the distortion on the Ultra may be a bit much for the CBG, I almost went for the much simpler standard Special 6 head/cab, but the effects loop looks handy.
good call, many more possibiliies.
love my spring king, id never appreciated before how much of a massive difference to the sound of any guitar the tone knob would have. I havnet done any mods to it yet though.
The distoriting may be a little much for a cbg, but wheres the fun if you cant make a dirty racket? Besides, you could always use some form of preamp to get the output of the cbg into the realm of regular guitar pickups and get some clarity from the amp
The amp looks to be pretty adjustable in the gain department, and probly the only mod off the bat will be a channel footswitch (it's advertised as 1 channel, but it has 2, you just have to pull yer plug and put it in the other hole). I also wonder about the eq section, but I'll play with it first. I'll be running a JuJu single coil, not a piezo, though I may use one of my gits with a rod piezo, also. Anyways, coming from hardcore/punk/metal, I have no fear of distortion. As for tubes, I'm no cork sniffer, and have noticed that my broken in stock Valve King head and Crate 4X12 beat the poopy out of most boutique amps that I share the stage with, mostly because I take time to do a proper setup and EQ, so I'll probly leave them alone as long as they last, then swap 'em for easy to get and cheap JJ's.
I found a neat mod for the Spring King to adjust the delay and feedback. Let me know if it interests you.
Personally i find any small watt all tube amps are the best for CBG's in a live situation (don't forget to use a nice noise suppressor like the BOSS or MXR smart gate!!!
happy holidays and peace
I've been playing a Fender Acoustisonic 150 for the past several months and I've come to like it a lot. (I sold off all but one of my Fender tube amps.)
It's lightweight, plenty loud and has two channels. One is a "clean" channel that just amplifies your instrument. It's good for acoustic guitar sound, and has a few digital effects you can add in. The other has more effects and the same clean output, but adds three modeled tube amps (Fender Blackface, Fender Tweed and Marshall). Those get progressively louder and more distorted, so you can change your volume and tone easily by twisting a knob. It also has tilt-back legs, which I've grown fond of.
I also auditioned the Fishman Loudbox amps and they're quite nice for acoustics, but the dual channels and modeled amps made me go for the Fender.
every cbg i got takes a different approach to amping hands down the best swiss army knife amp i got is my micro cube any thing from acoustic sounds to distorted to hi gain clean. i got a peeve blues classic that sounds great clean or dirty with magnetic pickups but my piezo cbgs sound to raspy in it same with my fender princeton. but they all love the micro cube. not much to carry stick a mic in front of it or plug it into a PA..i also have a bugera v5 that sounds good on the magnetics. the big question is how loud are you if its for a band with a drummer you need more amp .thats why i got the 50 WATT Peeve. but i love the little cube in my duo upright bass' canned drums and CBG. small lots of different tones useable effects. maybe a step up to a bigger cube heres a clip of my recorded with the computers built in mic the cube is clean with reverb i think its on fender mod http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/cigarbox-guitar-im-a-blues heres a piezo acoustic pickup thru the cube with a little chores http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/cigar-box-guitar-peaceful-eazy one more dirty distorted sounds http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/free-ride-by-dan-hartmanedger im sure the VHT are great amps this one is $!20 US. i got the bass one to we gig with them plugged direct into a PA. best to try them out with your guitar to find the best match for your CBG and you and how your gonna use it. there are lots of great amps out there freind this is what works for me
I have to agree as far as the cube for most cgb's i've been playing. I have a small music store and carry a cool dude (Katfish Karash) handmade cbg's and since this thread started I've tried a few different amps - at first i thought the all tube small watt type amp was the BEST - but turns out it was the best ONLY on that ONE particular cbg - when i started changing cbg's i noticed one of the best sounding amps for ALL cbg's was the Roland Cube - any Roland Cube was just as good - any watt

Pépé le Moko [DVD]
Director : Julien Duvivier
Screenplay : Julien Duvivier and Détective Ashelbé (based on the novel by Détective Ashelbé, adaptation by Jacques Constant, dialogue by Henri Jeanson)
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1937
Stars : Jean Gabin (Pépé le Moko), Mireille Balin (Gaby Gould), Gabriel Gabrio (Carlos), Lucas Gridoux (Inspector Slimane), Gilbert-Gil (Pierrot), Line Noro (Inès, Saturnin Fabre (Grandfather), Fernard Charpin (Régis)
Pépé le Moko is the film that made consummate French actor Jean Gabin a star. It was hardly his first role—he had already played in a dozen movies since 1930, and he would eventually star (that is, play the lead role) in dozens and dozens of films over his multi-decade career. Deviously handsome in an unconventional way, Gabin excelled at conveying confidence and authority, even when trapped in a fatalistic plot that would ensure his romantic demise by the film's final frames. Film theorist Andre Bazin referred to him quite rightly as "the tragic hero of contemporary cinema."
It was in Pépé le Moko that he fully solidified that persona, starring as the titular French criminal who is hiding out in the Casbah section of French Algiers. Sought after by police in both Paris and Algiers, Pépé remains in complete control of his life, living in the wild, narrow, multiethnic streets of the Casbah like a lord, casually going about his business knowing that the police cannot take down a king in his own palace. Initially based on the gangsters of early American crime films like Scarface (1932), Pépé is nonetheless a unique screen character, although his uniqueness has been somewhat lost in the myriad copycats who have emulated his style and assurance over the years.
In a suitably melodramatic twist, Pépé finds himself falling in love with Gaby Gould (Mireille Balin), a wealthy Parisian woman on holiday in Algiers. As long as he stays in the Casbah, Pépé is safe, but his love for Gaby re-ignites his yearning to return to his native Paris, the streets of which he can still name by heart. While Pépé is at first drawn to Gaby's jewels (the scene in which he hungrily eyes her diamond bracelet and pearl necklace is a delicious bit of eroticized subjective filmmaking), he soon finds that he is literally enraptured by her and what she stands for (in this way, Gaby and Paris are inextricably linked, Pépé's love for one inseparable from his love for the other). A man in love is often a fool, and it is Pépé's passion of Gaby that sets the gears in motion for his undoing.
Despite the worldwide acclaim of Pépé le Moko, U.S. audiences did not get to see it for many years because director John Cromwell remade the film a year later as Algiers. Despite featuring American actors who resembled their French counterparts and many scenes that were copied literally shot for shot, Algiers still comes up short where Pépé le Moko soars because it failed to replicate the original's effective style, which would later be recognized as a forerunner of American film noir.
At the time, Pépé le Moko was described as "poetic realism," a term used for the films of such French directors as Jean Renoir, and Marcel Carné, who used realistic settings that were evocatively stylized to enhance the mood and atmosphere. In that vein, Pépé le Moko director Julien Duvivier used the Casbah itself to visualize the film's fatalistic themes. Built up a hill and composed of narrow, winding streets, dead ends, and an overcrowded multiethnic assortment of people from all over the world, the Casbah was a mysterious maze few could penetrate, hence why it was such a perfect hideout for the elusive Pépé. Its status as part of colonial France made it familiar, but exotic at the same time. Yet, even though it fits Pépé's needs, the Casbah is also depicted as a dark place, filled with shadows and danger, the inverse of Paris's broad avenues and modern architecture, the place for which Pépé truly longs.
Interestingly, Duvivier has often been written off as a talented hack, a director who appropriated whatever style fit his needs at any given time, thus lacking a true authorial voice. Yet, anyone who has seen Pépé le Moko will recognize immediately the breadth of his skill. Duvivier is able to choreograph moments of intense emotional longing, as well as moments of striking violence, such as when Pépé aids his dying young friend Pierrot (Gilbert-Gil) kill the man who ratted him out to the police. He employs lighting and contrast in consistently innovative ways, evoking the narrative's mystery in decidedly visual means. It is not surprising that Jean Gabin first gained notice in one of Duvivier's earlier films, 1934's The Naked Heart, which highlighted the director's range in its impressionistic and subjective narration. Yet, even though they both went on to extensive and successful careers extending many decades, it will always be Pépé le Moko for which they are both most clearly remembered.

1.33:1 (Academy Aspect Ratio) This is one of the best black-and-white DVD releases I've seen in some time. Criterion has done an absolutely superb job of transferring Pépé le Moko so that it looks its absolute best without losing the original filmlike appearance. The transfer was taken from a 35mm fine-grain master positive that had been struck from the original 35mm nitrate negative and other restored film elements (the film was given a limited theatrical re-release with newly restored prints last year). The image was further cleaned up using the MTI Digital Restoration System, and the result is simply marvelous. The blacks are deep and rich with excellent shadow detail, while the whites shine and the fine gradations of gray in-between allow for a finely detailed image that is almost completely free of any damage or scratches. | |
French Dolby Digital 1.0 Monaural The Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack has also been digitally restored. The soundtrack is pleasant and generally clean, with only slight traces of ambient hiss in the quietest moments. | |
L'origine de Pépé This text-based section is composed largely of excerpts from film scholar Ginette Vincendeau's entry in the BFI Film Classics series on Pépé le Moko. Vincendeau offers invaluable historical context on French colonialism and the popularity of the crime genre in France (in both print and on screen) in the early 1930s. This section also includes excerpts from a program for a 1941 U.S. screening of the film. Presented in 1.33:1.

Did you really need one to see what would happened if these kids were returned to their parents? Despite warnings from pretty much everybody involved in this case, the judge returned the twins to the biological parents and then says he couldn't have possibly seen this coming. The deference the system gives to biological parents who abuse children is nothing short of scandalous.
That you figured out how to mate doesn't, in my mind, give you an automatic right to keep your children once you've illustrated to society you're not a capable parent. I believe the next step should be SOLID evidence you are now a capable parent; something this judge clearly did not have before him. And this case is far from isolated.

Comments On Apr 16, 2013:These are tricky.. Had problems peeling after i ironed them on. The paper wanted to stick to the Iron On. May have been something I did wrong. My biggest complaint is they were white letters going on a colored jersey and the color bled through. It worked but like I stated..for the begginer.

Comments On Jul 21, 2010:The numbers and letters went on easily and look good, EXCEPT for the only thing i didn't think would happen, the jersey designs under the white inner part of the numbers and letters are kind of transparent. The colors under didn't bleed thru, but are noticable up close, not a big issue. Overall a great product and seems to look better than the competitors that are only black in color and don't really stand out as much.

Kottayam, among the State's more mountainous districts, provides some of Kerala's finest natural scenes sandwiched between serene palm-fringed backwaters on the west and the Western ghats on the east. Much of this beauty is laid out in all its glory along the road which winds from Kottayam to the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary in Thekkady through plantations of rubber, tea, coffee and pepper.
Kottayam is an important commercial centre of Kerala, India, thanks to its strength as a producer of cash crops. Most of India's natural rubber originates from the acres of well-kept plantations of Kottayam, also home to the Rubber Board, One of the country's primary commodities board.
Kottayam came into limelight when it was declared the first fully literate municipal town of India, an event that triggered a mass movement to make Kerala the country's only state to achieve total literacy. Kottayam is also the birthplace of the state's publishing industry, and is home to a number of globally renowned newspapers and magazines including Malayala Manorama (India's largest circulated daily), The Week, Mathrubhumi, and Deepika
Accessing Kottayam
By Air: The nearest airport is at Cochin (Kochi) located 76 km from Kottayam. Another airport is at Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) 160 km away.
By Rail: Kottayam is well connected with the major towns in and outside Kerala by an extensive rail network. The railway station is situated just 2 km away from the central bus station. There are regular trains from Kottayam to Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam (165 km), and Ernakulam (65 km).
By Road: Kottayam is connected to major cities of South India by good motorable roads. There are two bus stations, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation bus station on T.B. Road and a private bus stand near the railway station. Buses to major centres operate from the KSRTC bus station.

Man arrested by Cumbria police on suspicion of murder
Last updated at 17:07, Monday, 12 November 2012
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body of a woman was found at a flat in Workington.
Demi Burns, aged 21, was discovered in her home at Newlands Gardens, Moorclose, just after 3.30pm yesterday.
Police say they are treating her death as "suspicious and unexplained".
A Home Office post mortem has been held and further tests are ongoing to establish the cause of death.
Officers arrested a local man, 28, on suspicion of murder and he was taken into police custody for questioning. He was today bailed until January, pending further inquiries.
Police spent yesterday afternoon and last night at the address, with officers standing guard outside.
Steve Bradley, 50, who lives nearby, said: "All I saw were police cars at about 4.30pm when I came back from practising with my band.
"I feel a bit unsettled. There is no such thing as community any more."
A local woman, who was visiting her family in the area, saw large numbers of police and a group of crime scene investigators wearing white overalls outside the flat at about 10.50pm yesterday.
She said: "It was eerie in the dark and like something off the television. You don't expect something like this in a residential area where there is a mixture of young and old people."
Another woman, who lives nearby, said the police and paramedics were there from about 3.30pm.
A police spokesman said: "We attended a property in Workington at 3.32pm yesterday after receiving a call about a sudden death.
"At this stage, the death is being treated as suspicious and unexplained. An investigation has been undertaken and officers will be working to formally identify the woman and inform her immediate family."
This morning there was one police car outside the flat, which is on a terrace of houses next to a car park.
Alyson Beck, 27, who also lives nearby, said: "I am quite scared now, I have got my little lad in my house and with me being on my own as well.
"Knowing something like this has happened on your own doorstep is little bit scary. I can't believe it," she added.

Written by Shirley D. Ratcliff
The Baron was the first fragrance my two twin sons used, I purchased it from a department store in Knoxville, TN, the store was Miller's Department Store and they are no longer in business. I think my sons were 14 years old when I purchased this for them and they always told me that the girls loved the fragrance. Even years later they would talk about the great fragrance of The Baron, so I went on line and found it after all of these years, my sons are now 52 and still haven't forgotten The Baron, so glad I found it again for them.

I can't believe I finally found this genuine Baron cologne again! I used to wear this back in the day and was it ever a hit with the women. I ordered it without telling my girlfriend fearing it might not be the same fragrance. I put it on before we started to go out Saturday night but when she smelled the fragrance on me we had a change of plans! She tore my clothes off of me just like she used to do ;) Needless to say I am one happy customer. If you ever plan to stop selling this or the company ever plans to stop making it, PLEASE let me know before so I can order a lifetime supply. Exausted and loving it!!!

Chennai, July 4 (PTI): Concerned over the lack of transparency in bank lending rates, Reserve Bank governor D. Subbarao today said the central bank had set up a working group to address the problem.
"One problem that has persisted even after the introduction of the base rate system relates to the lack of transparency in the customer-specific spread charged to a borrower over the base rate," Subbarao said at an Indian Overseas Bank function here today.
"There have been complaints that the spread charged to a customer has been revised upwards without any apparent change in his/her risk profile," he said.
Also, where floating rate loans are concerned, existing customers have been disadvantaged vis-�-vis new customers with similar credit ratings, resulting in complaints about discrimination.
In order to address this malady, Subbarao said the RBI had set up a working group under the chairmanship of deputy governor Anand Sinha to determine the principles that must govern proper, transparent and non-discriminatory pricing of credit.
The working group is expected to submit its report by next month.
To improve transparency in interest rate, the RBI introduced the base rate from July 1, 2010 in place of the benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR).
The base rate is the minimum lending rate below which a bank cannot lend. However, in the BPLR system, banks were allowed to lend below the benchmark rate.
BPLR was introduced by the RBI in 2003 to serve as a benchmark rate for lending.
Subbarao said, "Under the new system (base rate), each bank is mandated to determine a base rate of interest to include those cost elements which can be clearly identified and are common across all borrowers ' cost of deposits, cost of maintaining the statutory liquidity ratio and cash reserve ratio, cost of operations, and the profit margin."

Emmert: Stipend not a lean toward 'pay for play'
Thursday, November 3, 2011
HOUSTON (AP) -- NCAA President Mark Emmert says university leaders across the country are "adamant" about never allowing student-athletes to be paid for playing.
Emmert spoke Thursday to the Houston Economic Club, a week after the Division I Board of Directors approved a set of sweeping reforms. The move included an option to add $2,000 annually to scholarship offers.
Critics view the stipend as the first step toward eventually paying student-athletes to compete. Emmert said the money is simply meant to close the gap between a scholarship -- which only covers tuition, room and board and books -- and the "full cost of attendance," which include other expenses incurred by athletes during the season.

Mathematica looks a bit fuzzy on the retina screen, how can I increase the resolution?

Mathematica looks a bit fuzzy on the retina screen, how can I increase the resolution? Here another screenshot showing a direct comparison between the browser and Mathematica |
Another option is the free app Retinizer, which I used for a while with Mathematica 8. It cleaned up the text, but I found caused visual glitches with the documentation and added some instability throughout. That said, it made the text look beautiful which helped the eyes when reading a lot of code. You can turn it on and off, and it works on other applications. Worth a try, with the pros and cons in mind. |
This answer is complementary to Ian's. Retinizer appears to work very well with Mathematica 9. It increases even the resolution of To get a prettier view of a
Here's an example from the docs, processed like this: |
You can use one of the resolution setting utilities like switchResX to change the mode to 2880x1800. Then set the magnification in Mathematica to 200%. It works, but the menu bar is very small. Probably more trouble than it is worth. |
Here's how to do it for more recent versions of Mathematica (specifically, 9.0.1):
The situation as far as I can guess (that's the operative word) is this: In order to supports Retina's high dpi, one has to compile the application using the Cocoa framework which has for long been the default application framework on Mac OS X anyway. Unfortunately, I don't think Mathematica does that. It uses the legacy Carbon framework. So in order to support Retina, they will probably have to rewrite a whole lot of front-end code. By the way, this isn't just a display issue. The resolution of screen shots from Mathematica is also wrong. So if I paste a screen shot into |

In spirit of St. Patrick's Day on Saturday I wanted to Celebrate the Irish.
Ireland has a great deal of wonderful, beautiful treasures and I could post a book describing them all. So I hope you enjoy my selected few!
Blarney Stone: Located in County Cork Ireland the stone is said to be the deathbed pillow of St Columba on the island of Iona. Legend says it was then removed to mainland Scotland, where it served as the prophetic power of royal succession, the Stone of Destiny.
When Cormac MacCarthy, King of Munster, sent five thousand men to support Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn in 1314, a segment of the historic Stone was given in gratitude – and returned to Ireland.
Others claim the stone was brought from the Crusades. Whatever the truth of its origin, the prize one kisses the stone the gift of eloquence is granted.
Four leaf clovers (Shamrocks:) In Irish tradition the Shamrock or 3-leaf Clover represents the Holy Trinity: one leaf for the Father, one for the Son and one for the Holy Spirit. When a Shamrock is found with the fourth leaf, it represents God's Grace. The four-leaf clover is a universally accepted symbol of good luck.
Gaint's Causeway: Located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, this stretch of geological phenomenon is renowned for its columns of layered basalt. It mystified the ancients who believed it to be the work of giant Finn McCool.
NewGrange: Located in County Meath and older than the pyramids, the megalithic passage tomb covers around an acre and is surrounded by 97 kerbstones, some of which are decorated with megalithic art.
The passage and chamber are designed to light up for the summer and winter solstice.
The Wearing of Green: One wears green because the Catholic side of Ireland is identified with green, and St. Patrick is a Catholic Saint credited with converting the island to Christianity. Whereas the Protestants are identified with orange, and are often called "Orangemen", as in King William the Orange. The Irish flag, the white between the two colors representing unity. Wearing green is an American thing.

CASPER, Wyo. — A new law ending mandatory life sentences for juveniles convicted of murder won't affect eight people already serving time in prison for crimes committed when they were minors.
The law specifies that juveniles convicted of murder would be eligible for parole after serving 25 years in prison. Gov. Matt Mead signed the bill into law two weeks ago and it will go into effect July 1.
Deputy Attorney General Dave Delicath told the Casper Star-Tribune that it isn't retroactive. The law will bring Wyoming into line with a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibited mandatory life sentences for juvenile offenders.
That ruling led the Wyoming Supreme Court to overturn the life sentence for Wyatt Bear Cloud, who was convicted of killing Sheridan businessman Robert Ernst at 16.

State of the State Update: It's Worse Than We Thought
By Matt Mayer
President of The Buckeye Institute for Public Policy
With the March 2010 employment data, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revised its state employment data back to 1990 (www.bls.gov/eag/eag.oh.htm). As you may recall, our report, "State of the State: Two Decades of Weak Job Growth and Skyrocketing Government Costs Pose Daunting Challenges for Ohioans," highlighted several sobering pieces of BLS employment data (original data from the report in parens below). The new BLS data paints an even more troubling outlook for Ohio.
Specifically, from January 1990 to January 2000, Ohio's job market added 714,900 jobs (720,200), which was the 37th best in America. From January 2000 to January 2010, Ohio's job market lost 635,000 jobs (544,100), which was the 2nd worst in America. From January 1990 to January 2010, Ohio had the 3rd (6th) worst job market in America — Ohio added a net of 79,900 jobs (176,100) over 20 years, or less than 4,000 per year (9,000) for Ohio's 11.4 million people. This growth amounted to an increase in jobs of 1.9% (4%) from 20 years earlier. Only Rhode Island (-1.7%), Michigan (-2.2%), and Connecticut (-4.9%) had worse job markets.
As a point of comparison, in January 1990, Ohio had 714,800 (714,000) people working in government. As of January 2010, 781,900 (789,100) Ohioans worked in government. Thus, from January 1990 to January 2010, Ohio added 67,100 (75,100) government jobs. That means that for every 1.19 jobs created over those 20 years in the private sector, Ohio added 1 government job. This ratio is the 4th worst in America, exceeded only by New Jersey (.96), Connecticut (-1.93), and Michigan (-3.54).

Oxford soccer star Gina Manzi will attend pharmacy school
Text and photos by Steev Riccardo
OXFORD – Oxford High School senior Gina Manzi just finished her best season on the girls soccer team which will certainly get her some all-star attention, but it's her academics that have driven her to a top five ranking in her class and a step closer to her goal to attend college to become a pharmacist.
As co-captain of the Pirates team, Manzi completed her four-year career with a stellar campaign, helping the Pirates to their best record in recent years with her solid defensive play.
Along with fellow seniors and co-captains Emily Dawidczyk (who is Manzi's first cousin), and Dominique Lesieur, the Lady Pirates were 5-10-2 but played much better than their record indicated losing several close games.
"I feel like our record didn't reflect the talent on our team, I feel like the girls put a lot of effort into every game," said Manzi "and there were unlucky things and different scenarios that we couldn't help".
Still the Pirates were better than they were in their three previous seasons and tied Shepherd Hill 6-6 in one of the season's most exciting games.
Manzi also was a part of Dawidczyk's record-breaking season in which her cousin became the school's all-time leading scorer and also led Central Mass in scoring.
Dawidczyk and Manzi have played soccer together since they were both 10 years old and have been teammates not only in high school but on club teams as well.
"She had an awesome season and she is so versatile that it just helped out a ton," said Dawidczyk about Manzi. "Any gap that was there, Gina would definitely fill it. We were an inexperienced team so with her switching and playing every position she really helped us without hearing her ever complain. She helped and taught the younger girls a lot."
As for not being around or playing with 'best friend' Dawidczyk, Manzi said, "It will be weird not being with her and not playing with her especially next year-- I can't picture it yet."
"Knowing that my soccer career is over, it still hasn't hit me yet. I'm slowly realizing that I am never going to go on the soccer field again. I'm never going to put on an Oxford uniform again. I learned a lot here, but I know its time to move on. I am ready to branch out and see everything".
Manzi, who is a member of the National Honor Society, is also the secretary of the Student Council, and has spent four years in the "Best Buddies Club" which she calls "the best club ever," will also play Indoor Track in the winter and Outdoor Track in the Spring before graduation.
As a long distance and relay runner on the track team, Manzi was not always so sure that she could put all the extra time into playing sports, since her real passion was doing well in school and excelling in her academics.
"I have had a real love-hate relationships with my athletics," she said smiling, "because academics is always first, it has been a tough struggle at times-- but now that I am realizing that this is my last chance to play these sports."
Manzi plans to follow in the footsteps of several of her family members and attend the Mass College Of Pharmacy in Boston, but is also applying to Rutgers University and the University of Rhode Island to keep her options open. She does know that, wherever she goes to school,she will be looking at six years and hard of work to reach her goal.
For someone like Gina Manzi, who gives it all in everything she does, it should be a piece of cake.

Sorry! My lingo when it comes to comics is also pretty bad!
Thanks so much! I actually struggle a lot with finding a reasonable angle for the panel! As you've probably noticed I don't draw backgrounds as much as I should so I try and make up for that with different anlges and stuff!
God! Just by looking at the banner for your comic I can tell you're an amazing artist so what you said about my panels being interesting makes me really happy!! XDD
I'll try and get better but it will take time like you said!
I'm glad the recent pages have been good! Although I have most of the story already planned out I still find myself doubting what I just drew on a page O_O;
and yeah my tablet is shiny but the thing I miss most is being able to rotate the paper beneath my pencil TT_TT, I just realized how crookedly I draw!
But anyway! Thanks so much for the comments and I hope you'll continue to support my comic and give me feedback if there's anything that seems weird!
I'll make sure to keep improving in both story and art so as to make it worth your while!

A San Pedro man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of robbing a victim of his expensive skateboard last spring at a Rancho Palos Verdes park, sheriff's deputies said.
Steven Nocon, 20, is suspected of approaching the victim at Deane Dana Friendship Park at 1850 W. Ninth St. with two other men and threatening to hurt him if he did not hand over his skateboard, deputies said.
In fear for his life, the victim complied.
The men fled in a gray Honda Civic.
Nocon was booked at the Lomita sheriff's station on suspicion of robbery and held on $50,000 bail.
The crime occurred on May 30 at the park, which is on the Rancho Palos Verdes border with San Pedro.
