It is a descent into darkness for commuters walking through an unlit footbridge over the Long Island Rail Road in Rego Park.
"When it's a dark night, you cannot see a thing on this bridge. It is complete blackness," says resident Joe Austin.
Pedestrians say the lights on the bridge have been out for almost a month.
There are three lights above the footbridge and they are all out. If that doesn't make it dark enough, the street lamp coming right off the footbridge is out as well.
"Bottom line, it's a public safety issue. You have elderly, you have children coming through here, you also have guys whizzing in and out [on bicycles] who are delivering food and those guys can't see the people coming and vice versa. So it's kind of chaos," says resident Mark Redlefsen.
"People holding on, falling over each other, it's just very dangerous," says resident Lili Friedman.
"This is extremely dangerous. I thought by now it would have been fixed," says resident Ann Morales.
Residents say they have called 311 repeatedly to no effect. After they contacted NY1 For You, the station called the Department of Transportation.
After looking into the matter, a spokeswoman said DOT and Consolidated Edison are currently working together to resolve the issue.
NY1 For You will follow up to see when some light is shed on the situation.
If you'd like "NY1 For You" to look into a problem, call our 24-hour helpline at 212-379-3599 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

We've all experienced it haven't we?
We jump off the plane full of excitement, spend two...
The Adventure Company offers over 250 activity holidays to many destinations spanning every continent. We have many perfect destinations for your adventure travel, whatever your needs
Fancy one of our fantastic adventures but only want to travel with people you know? Do it your way as a private group. We make private group trips for everyone, from big families to scouts and cadets.
We've developed a range of dedicated solo holidays & solo travel packages; exclusively for people booking on their own. Around 40% of all our passengers are solo travellers.
Transport - Minibus,gulet, 4WD, on foot, boat.
Accommodation - Cottages/farmhouse – possible multi-share (2nts), hotels (3nts), gulet (2nts).
Meals - 7 breakfasts, 4 lunches & 2 dinners.
You meet your group leader at Dalaman Airport and then transfer to Karaagac – a journey of approximately two hours – to your accommodation for the next 2 nights.You will receive full details of exactly where to meet your Group Leader on the Joining Instructions which will be sent to you 2-3 weeks before your trip starts. For information on when the trip ends please refer to the itinerary as described on your final day.
The Farmhouse accommodation is basic, but clean and comfortable, reflecting typical Turkish country living. It is on a certified Eco farm, growing a variety of fruits and vegetables within the grounds. There is an outdoor pool and walking trails around the area to enjoy.
Pastoral Valley Farmhouse (A) - possible multi-share - 2 nights - Swimming Pool (B)
Turkey's south-west coastline has long been famous for its extensive stretches of beaches, dotted with timeless villages where local residents still tend their crops and animals. Nestled in the foothills of Mt Babadag, Karaagac is one such place, and is the perfect setting for families! Overlooking the beaches below, your accommodation is situated at 1000m and hidden away amid pine trees and limestone plateaus – great territory for inquisitive kids to explore.
There's a free day here so you can get to know the area better. A wander through the countryside, along countless trails is a great way both to relax and to discover the local flora and fauna. You may also be able to try a craft activity, such as pottery and the area surrounding the farm is great for treasure hunts and other games. All activities are optional, allowing you to see and do as much or as little as you choose. (B)
Transferring by bus to Kas – a journey of about three hours – you arrive in this charming port in time for a boat excursion to Kekova Island, a few kilometres to the east of Kas. Off its northern shore, the fascinating remains of an ancient settlement - known locally as Batik Sehir (the Sunken City) - lie submerged in a few metres of turquoise water. It was destroyed centuries ago by earthquakes and today one can still see the ruined walls and stairs of houses, and the outline of its jetty.
In one of the coves the remains of a Byzantine apse and the ruins of an ancient village can be seen. As the boat cruises past, half-submerged ruins are visible along the edge, part on land, part underwater, which shows the upheaval wrought by the earthquakes. As this is a protected archaeological site, swimming and snorkelling are not permitted; however it remains very atmospheric and makes for an enjoyable day out for kids and adults alike.
Ekici Hotel (AA) - 2 nights - Swimming Pool (BL)
Today you have an exciting 4WD safari into the hills above Kas, in a vehicle specially designed to travel over the rough tracks and steep terrain. The route winds into the back-country through undiscovered villages - the kinds of places package tourists never even dream about, let alone reach. A stony track climbs high to emerge on the shoulder of Cukurbagh hill, giving fabulous views over the Greek Island of Kastellorizo and the entire Kas peninsula.
Heading up toward the yayla (highland plateau), you may well meet nomadic shepherds who leave their lowland villages to bring their goats and sheep up to graze. The views are stunning as you descend to a pretty mountain village for a lunch of traditional Turkish home-cooked food in a village house. After lunch you continue your mountain journey, finally descending to the scenic coastal road for the drive back to Kas. (BL)
This morning you'll step aboard your gulet, for two days of idyllic relaxation. There's no firm plan – much depends on the tides and local conditions. Your days are usually spent cruising between the little coves and islands that dot this beautiful part of south-west Turkey. Naturally there are plenty of opportunities to take a dip in the inviting waters of the Aegean. Parents can sit back, relax and watch the world go by while the kids can emulate their favourite sea-faring heroes.
This is an example of the route you may take on the gulet, although this may vary due to sailing conditions:
Leaving Kas you will first visit the unspoiled Ufakdere Bay where you'll have lunch and no doubt take the opportunity to swim or snorkel in the beautiful blue waters. Yet more swimming is in order as you sail on to Yaglica Bay, before mooring in a picturesque bay near to Kekova for your first night sea-borne. Awakening to the seemingly infinite crystal clear waters, you can take an early morning dip near to the excitingly named Pirate Cave. The intended course then takes you on to Tersane (Shipyard) Bay, where you'll go ashore for lunch to explore medieval castles, continuing to Inonu Bay for your second night on board the gulet. Please note: The route may vary depending on conditions and is at the captain's discretion. For logistical reasons your 2 nights on the gulet may take place later during your trip.
Gulet - Shared cabin - 2 nights (Bx2 Lx2 Dx2)
This morning you'll make the short journey across to the mainland, where you'll disembark your gulet in Fethiye, saying farewell to your captain and crew. Waiting transport then drives you north west along the coast to Dalyan. Dalyan is a relatively small and lazy place to look around; its many bars line the river which runs alongside the city's core. Named after the wooden traps placed across the river to ensnare fish, Dalyan was once an agricultural centre and today retains a lot of that Turkish charm.
Upon arrival there should be free time to relax and, if you want, take a river cruise in one of the brightly coloured boats which line the shores. It's also fun to visit the mud baths near to the centre, or for those with a hunger for historic sites a visit to the old Lycian tombs that shadow the town may be in order.
Mandalinn Hotel (AA) - 1 night - Swimming Pool (B)
Today your tour ends today, and after bidding farewell to new friends you transfer to Dalaman airport where the trip finishes. (B)

Webcast: TxDot Announces New Traffic Safety Campaigns
By: Ron Rosseau and Monica Tassoni
Updated: April 12, 2012
The first is the Talk, Text, Crash campaign, which aims to reduce the number of drivers who talk or send and receive telephone text messages.
April is National Distracted Driver Awareness month, and highway officials say distracted driving causes thousands of traffic accidents every year.
TxDot is also beginning a new motorcycle safety campaign as part of the continuing Share the Road program.
Transportation officials say it's important for drivers to double check for motorcycles before proceeding through intersections or changing lanes.

When Michael Hestir visited Alive in Christ Lutheran Church earlier this month, he wasn't there to worship. He was there to help churchgoers prepare for a possible emergency.
Hestir, a sergeant of the Columbia Police Department, has been going to churches around Boone County for the past five years to raise awareness on church violence and how to act.
In the past decade, America has seen an increase in people coming into church buildings and taking lives.
Jefferson City hospital is planning a $35 million expansion that will increase the space at its main building by about one-third.
The Missouri Legislature has adjourned for the year, but the work will go on for members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
A transportation advocacy site called Transportation For America has released an interactive map that shows where the structurally deficient bridges in your community are.
This is the latest installment of Harvest Public Media's Field Notes, in which reporters talk to newsmakers and experts about important issues related to food production.
Missouri motorcycle riders had several favorable bills sent to Gov. Jay Nixon during this year's legislative session, but a big priority still did not pass.
Lawmakers passed bills that would declare May motorcycle awareness month and would prevent police from setting up "motorcycle-only" checkpoints.
A low-flying military jet from a western Missouri Air Force base clipped several power lines, but officials said no injuries were reported.
The A-10 Thunderbolt military jet from Whiteman Air Force base hit several power lines that cross Stockton Lake, near Bona, about 30 miles northwest of Springfield. A-10 Thunderbolts are single-seat, twin-engine attack jets.
Crews have been working to mark the lake to keep boaters away from submerged power lines.
A Columbia lawyer says Boone County sheriff's deputies patrolling within city limits isn't following local ordinance that treats marijuana possession as a municipal violation.
In 2004, Columbia residents voted to amend a city ordinance and treat possession of up to 35 grams of marijuana as a misdemeanor. Violators are usually released with a summons to appear in court rather than placed under arrest.
But the Columbia-based Missouri Civil Liberties Association says the sheriff and the county prosecutor are disregarding the intent of city voters.
Consumers may soon know more about where their meat comes from because of a long-debated change made by the US Department of Agriculture on Thursday.
Updated 4:12 p.m. with quotes and graphics
The University of Missouri announced today that all employees working in MU's main administrative building, Jesse Hall, will be moved to a new location to allow for the installation of sprinkler systems, improvements to the heating and cooling systems, and an additional elevator. Nearby Swallow Hall which houses MU's Museum of Anthropology, will also undergo repairs including an increase in classroom, lab and office space totaling up to 5,000 square feet. The project, called "Renew Mizzou," will cost more than $22.8 million.

Honey's varying colors and flavors are derived from different sources of nectar. Manuka, a dark, rich creamed honey from the New Zealand tea tree ("ti"), is considered ideal for cooking. |
Honey is a rich, golden syrup naturally produced by bees from the nectar of flowers. With a high fructose content, it's even sweeter in taste than granulated sugar. Honey can be used as a spread, sweetener and glaze, as well as an age-old sore throat remedy when mixed with hot tea and lemon.
Honey was used to sweeten foods centuries before sugar became widely available. Prehistoric paintings depict early man gathering wild honey in much the same way it's done today. An Ancient Egyptian scroll listed more than 500 recipes with honey as an ingredient, and the Greeks and Romans used it to flavor almost everything, including wine.Varieties and Buying Tips
There are hundreds of different honeys around the world, and most are named for the flower from which they originate. The most common varieties at the supermarket are clover and orange blossom. Gourmet or natural food stores may also carry more limited varieties like buckwheat, heather, raspberry and tupelo, all naturally infused with their respective flower's unique flavor and scent.Honey is also sold in three different styles, or forms. Regular honey is pure liquid that has been extracted from the honeycomb. Most liquid honey is pasteurized to prevent crystallization. Chunk-style honey has pieces of honeycomb included in the jar, while comb honey is a single piece of honeycomb with the honey still inside. Both honey and comb are edible.
Storage Tips
Store tightly sealed liquid honey in a dark, dry place at room temperature for up to one year; chunk and comb honey for six months. Refrigerating honey will cause it to crystallize and turn grainy.Usage Tips
• Keep honey in a plastic squeeze bottle to easily dispense the amount you want.
• Before measuring, lightly coat your cup or spoon with cooking spray or vegetable oil. The syrup will easily slide out.
• Reliquefy crystallized honey by placing the opened jar in the microwave at high power for 15 to 60 seconds.
• After using, rinse honey jar caps with hot water and they'll be easier to open next time.
Substitution Tips
• When cooking, be aware of your honey's source—different varieties carry very different flavors. The very strong buckwheat honey would not be suitable in a recipe calling for orange blossom honey, which by contrast is very light and delicate.• Swap honey with other liquid sweeteners like corn syrup, maple syrup or molasses.

6. | Dimitri | ||
A sweet guy who is confused about love. He is usually tall with a rock'n' body and dark hair. You can consider him a class clown. He is a fun person to be around. BUT Sometimes can be an asshole who plays with girls hearts. He goes back and forth between girls. Usually has a good girl standing in front of his eye but chooses to drift away from her although he knows she will be there in the end. Unfortunately, although Dimitri knows she will be there in the end he wont be able to have her as he once did. By then all she will want is to just be friends.

We stayed here for a few nights in the winter. It was very comfortable, great bedrooms and nice lounge. Also had laundry which was a plus.

No one, not even the enemies of Jesus, ever accused him of being a coward or being full of doubts. He was always persistent and knew where he was going. In every situation, he was the master of himself. He had perfect poise and confidence. Jesus spent a lot of his time trying to instill within people this faith that sends them out into the dark night, trusting in God.
Whatever else we may say about Jesus, we must conclude that he had gigantic faith in God's goodness and wisdom. His illustrations were taken from the common experiences of life.
Therefore, we can assume that Jesus did not mean that it is unnecessary to make reasonable plans for the future. Once, Jesus talked about building a tower. First, he said, a man who intends to build a tower will sit down and count the cost. He will want to determine whether he has enough material to finish it.
Jesus planned for the future. He gathered around him 12 disciples and taught them how to live. He made every effort to prepare them for the experience of the cross upon which he would die. He tried to explain to them that he would be despised and rejected. During these three years of his public ministry, He was laying the foundation stone of the Christian Church.
Worry is useless energy, expended with no positive results. Have you ever solved a problem through worry? It will result in ulcers and poor health. I decided a long time ago never to worry about something I could not change. If I find something which is beyond my control, I commit it to God and leave it there.
Sir William Ostler, one of the famous physicians who founded the Johns Hopkins University, tells us about a time when he was worried sick. He worried about an examination that was scheduled the following day, and, in general, worried about the future. He was reading and came across this line: "Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand." This sentence probably saved this great man from defeat.
When Dr. Ostler went back to his native England to be knighted by the King, he said, "... more than anything else, I owe whatever success I have had to the power of settling down to the day's work, and trying to do it to the best of my ability, and letting the future take care of itself."
This is the philosophy of living one day at a time. Blessed is the man who waits until tomorrow to do the work tomorrow demands. This is what Jesus was saying to us. Don't confuse today's work with what you need to do tomorrow. Jesus said, "One day's trouble is enough for one day."
Remember, the troubles of today will pass away. Isn't it marvelous to know that God provides a way for the wounds of sorrow to heal. The things that hurt us yesterday may leave a scar, but God takes away the pain.
The master was reminding us that today is ours. We may not have a tomorrow, but we have this day. Let us live it to the fullest.
Robert V. Ozment is a retired United Methodist minister.

Where did the Mars Hill Network get its name?
In the King James version of the Bible, Mars Hill is the site of the public forum outside of Athens where the Stoic and Epicurean philosophers asked the apostle Paul to explain what he was teaching (Acts 17:22). Other translations use Areopagus.
Who owns the Mars Hill Network?
There is no single owner. As with perhaps most not-for-profit organizations, the owners of the Mars Hill Network are, in a way, its members and donors. The Mars Hill Broadcasting Company Inc. is a not-for-profit organization governed by an elected board of directors which is legally responsible for the network. More background on the Mars Hill Network is available on pages listed in menu under "About Us".
How do members and donors know where their money is going?
The Mars Hill Network is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). All ECFA members are required to adhere to its financial management and reporting standards. Instructions for obtaining the Mars Hill Network's financial disclosure documents are available through our office.
Is the Mars Hill Network affiliated with a specific church denomination?
No, there is no specific denominational affiliation. However, the network board and staff do subscribe to an evangelical Statement of Faith
Where could I find details on employment at the Mars Hill Network?
Just visit our employment page.
Why don't you play more contemporary, up-beat music?
Why don't you play less contemporary, up-beat music?
First there was gunpowder. Later there was TNT. Still somewhere beyond that is the explosive nature of what qualifies as acceptable Christian music. Our format could be described as "traditional-inspirational"--that is, we air traditional hymns and anthems and also include selections of a more contemporary nature. Each song you hear on the Mars Hill Network has been carefully chosen by a music committee of three. More on our music policy can be found on our Format page.
I really enjoyed today's edition of _____________. How do I obtain a copy of this program?
For programs produced by the Mars Hill Network, we can provide a CD copy for a small fee. Broadcasters of syndicated programs also often provide copies of their programming for a modest fee. Please let us (or them, in the case of syndicated programming) know the date of the broadcast and the topic. This will help to track down the program that you want. Some broadcasters offer copies of their programs at the close of each broadcast and give the ordering information for the edition of that particular day. To help you contact various programmers, a directory of broadcasters can be found on our Directory of Broadcasters page. Please let them know you heard the broadcast on the Mars Hill Network.
There was a song that I liked so much that I jumped into the car to go get the CD. However, the music stores don't seem to have heard of it. What do I do now?
Some of the songs you hear on the Mars Hill Network are by artists whose recordings are found on the labels of smaller companies. They are still available, but sometimes have to be ordered by your local music store, or even by yourself. More information on specific songs can be obtained by giving us a telephone call (315-469-5051 or 800-677-1881) or by emailing our Music Director. Please also see the next question.
Both Mars Hill and the music stores tell me that the album I'm looking for has been out of print for twenty years. Isn't there anything I can do?
Finding a song from an album that has been out of print for years can be difficult. If the song is by a well-known artist, there is always the chance that it has been re-released on a "best of" collection, or other similar compilation. If it's still available, the song should surface in a computer search at your local music store. If the song was never re-released, finding it is akin to searching for an out-of-print book or an antique. Online auctions and search engines are a good way in which to begin one's search. There are a number of dealers on the internet that specialize in out-of-print Christian music.
I produce a program and wonder if Mars Hill may wish to air it. How would one go about submitting a program for consideration for broadcast?
Please visit our page, Submitting Programs for Broadcast Consideration
What can I do to improve my reception of Mars Hill signals?
Please go to our Reception Tips page for detailed information.
We live some distance away from the nearest Mars Hill station. Why is it I can hear your signals quite well in the car, but not in my house?
There are many variables involved in why a particular station can be heard (or not heard) at a particular location. However, in this instance, it is probably
a) Your car radio is designed to pick up weaker FM signals while the radio in your house is not, or
b) Your car is out in the open, giving radio signals a clearer path to your car radio antenna, or
c) A combination of both.
How can we bring Mars Hill Network signals to our area?
Please visit our Translator Information Page. You may also receive the Network live over the Internet through a link on the Mars Hill Radio Canada web site.
Do you have a question that you don't see above? Just email us.

My little brother asked me around 4 if he could go to a friends house (both my parents were asleep cause they work midnights). He said he had a ride there and back so I figured it was fine. He's still not home so I called to see when he would get back and he said "as soon as my friends parents get home they will drive me home".
I did not know this was unsupervised...

Credit cards and loans
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and Effective APR The difference between APR and effective APR
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Usually the most quoted number people give you when they're
- publicizing information about their credit cards is the APR.
- And I think you might guess, or you might already know,
- that it stands for annual percentage rate.
- What I want to do in this video is to understand a
- little bit more detail on what they actually mean by the
- annual percentage rate, and do a little bit of math to get
- the real, or the mathematically-- or the
- effective annual percentage rate.
- I was actually just browsing the web, and I saw some credit
- card that had an annual percentage rate of 22.9%
- annual percentage rate.
- But then right next to it they say that we have a 0.06274
- percent daily periodic rate.
- Which to me, this piece tells me that they compound the
- interest on your credit card balance on a daily basis.
- And this is the amount that they compound.
- So where do they get these numbers from?
- Well if you just take 0.06274 and multiply by 365 days in a
- year, you should get this 22.9.
- And let's see if we get that.
- And of course this is percentage.
- So this is a percentage here.
- And this is a percent here.
- Let me get out my trusty calculator, and see if that is
- what they get.
- So if I take 0.06274-- and remember this is a percent,
- but I'll just ignore the percent sign, so as a decimal
- I would actually add 2 more 0's here.
- But 0.06274 times 365 is equal to 22.9%.
- And you say, hey Sal, what's wrong with that?
- They're charging me 0.06274% per day.
- They're going to do that for 365 days a year, so
- that gives me 22.9%.
- And my reply to you is that they're
- compounding on a daily basis.
- So if you were to give them $100 and if you didn't have to
- pay some type of a minimum balance, and you just let that
- $100 ride for a year, you wouldn't just owe them $122.9.
- They're compounding this much every day.
- So if I were to write this is a decimal.
- So let me just write that as a decimal.
- So 0.06274% as a decimal this is the same thing as 5 These
- are the same thing.
- 1% is 0.01.
- So 0.06% is 0.0006 as a decimal.
- Now this is how much they're charging every day.
- And if you watch the compounding interest video,
- you know that if you want to figure out how much total
- interest you would be paying over a total year, you would
- take this number, add it to 1.
- So we have 1.0006274.
- So instead of just taking this and multiplying it by 365, you
- take this number and you take it to the 365th power.
- You multiply it by itself 365 times.
- That's because, if I have $1 in my balance, on day 2, I'm
- going to have to pay this much times one dollar $1.
- 1.0006274 times $1.
- On day 2, I'm going to have to pay this much, times this
- number again, times the $1.
- So let me write that down.
- On day 1 maybe I have $1 that I owe them.
- On day 2, it'll be $1 times this thing, 1.006274.
- On day 3, I'm going that have to pay 1.0006274 times this
- whole thing.
- So on day 3 it'll be $1 times 1.0006274.
- Then I'm going to have to pay that much interest on this
- whole thing again.
- I'm compounding, 1.0006274.
- So you can see we've kind of kept the balance for 2 days,
- and I'm raising this to the second power, if I'm
- multiplying it by itself, I'm squaring it.
- So if I keep that balance for 365 days, I have to raise it
- to the 365th power.
- And this isn't counting any kind of extra
- penalties or fees.
- This number, whatever it is, once I get this and I subtract
- 1 from it, that is the mathematically true-- that is
- the effective annual percentage rate.
- So let's figure out what that is.
- So if I take 1.0006274 and I raise it to the 365
- power, I get 1.257.
- So if I were to compound this much interest, 0.06% for 365
- days, at the end of a year I would owe 1.257 times my
- original principal balance.
- So this right here is equal to 1.257.
- So I would owe 1.257 times my original principal amount.
- Or the effective interest rate, APR, annual percent
- rate, or the mathematically correct annual percentage rate
- here, is 25.7%.
- And you might say, hey Sal, that's still not too far off
- from the reported APR, where they just take this number and
- multiply by 365 instead of taking this number and taking
- it to the 365 power.
- You're saying, hey this is roughly 23%
- this is roughly 26%.
- It's only a 3% difference.
- But if you look at that compounding interest video,
- even the most basic one that I put out there, you'll see that
- every percentage point really, really, really, really
- matters, especially if you're going to carry these balances
- for a long period of time.
- So be very careful.
- In general, you shouldn't carry any balances on your
- credit cards, because these are very high interest rates.
- And you'll end up just paying interest on purchases you made
- many, many years ago.
- And you a long ago lost all of the joy of that purchase.
- So I encourage you to not even keep balances.
- But if you do keep any balances, pay very close
- attention to this.
- A 22.9% APR is still probably not the full effective
- interest rate, which might be closer to 26% in this example.
- That's before they even count the penalties and the other
- types of fees that they might throw on top of everything.

Rams topple Warriors for T-Day victory
Kyle Amico (#28) runs for tough yardage
Playoffs next
By Steev Riccardo; Patriot staff photos
FISKDALE – With a playoff showdown and rematch with Doherty High School looming, the Shepherd Hill Rams overcame a 20-6 half time deficit and scored 30 unanswered points to defeat the Tantasqua Warriors 36-20 in a battle of the two regional schools on Thanksgiving morning.
The Warriors came out of the box strong and scored a pair of touchdowns to take a quick 13-0 lead behind the strong arm of quarterback Randy Harrington.
Sophomore Drew Jean-Guillaume got the Rams on the board with a 5-yard run, before the Warriors added another score and took a commanding 20-6 to the locker room.
The Rams then put together an incredible half of football, not only outscoring the Warriors, but also holding their high-powered offense scoreless in the process.
Drew Ravenelle (1-yard run) and Tyler Simmons (2-yard run) each scored third quarter touchdowns, with junior Jake Gelb adding a 5- yard run and Ravenelle putting the icing on the cake with a 57-yard run to close out the impressive comeback victory.
"Down 20-6 at halftime, our players could have very easily been down and disappointed. However, they knew we were close and listened carefully to the coaches' half time adjustments in all three phases," said assistant coach Ryan Dugan. "This led to probably the most complete half of football we played all season. To outscore a team of Tantasqua's caliber 30-0 in a half is a tribute to the determination, focus and gutsiness of our players."
Drew Jean-Guillaume just misses a Drew Ravenelle pass
Dugan credited his battle tested seniors for leading the charge and one of those seniors, Ravenelle, and possibly the team's most valuable player this season, played his best football when it counted.
With the game tied at 20, Ravenelle completed a 26-yard pass to Drew Jean-Guillaume on 4th and 9 deep in Warrior territory, which ultimately led to Gelb's score that put the Rams ahead for good.
"These are the plays that Drew has been making his whole career and these are the plays we expected him to make today," said Dugan. "Drew is the unquestioned leader of this team and when it wasn't looking good at halftime he never panicked or got upset. He remained cool and calm and allowed the players to rally around him."
Ravenelle, who finished with 92 yards rushing and the two touchdowns, was given the Tony Vegnone award afterwards as the games Offensive MVP.
Dugan also singled out the play of sophomore Cam MacDonald, who got his first varsity start at linebacker due to injury.
"Cam stepped up big today. He got his first varsity start for an injured lineman and played very well. He is a very focused, determined kid and the performance we got out of him was far from unexpected."
Senior Kyle Amico also had a huge game for the Rams with 90-yards rushing while adding a pair of two-point conversions. Dugan said Amico is one of the most game football players that he has ever been around. "He has been a very steady performer in the secondary for three years, but filled in a vital role at running back today."
Chris Dutting, who has been a solid contributor all season, also had a great game for the Rams defensively with 12 tackles, an interception, and a sack. He also had a catch for a two-point conversion.
The Rams are now one win away (Doherty) from playing in the Division 2 super bowl at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

Processors and Other Upgrades
Our Car Stereo Proving Ground, Round 3
What do you get at each step of building a car audio system?
Jeff, Crutchfield's Senior Car Merchandiser, devised a plan: to test the sound of an aftermarket system one component at a time in order to prove how much better it sounds than factory. He wanted to test each configuration for sound quality and loudness, then evaluate the soundstage. We started with the factory system of Jeff's '04 Ford F-150, then upgraded to an Alpine receiver and a set of Polk speakers. We ran tests after installing each component to note improvements in the sound. Now it's time to upgrade the speakers, run 12-gauge wire, and install a processor to act as the brains of the system.
Catch up with part 1 of our test series and read more about our testing methodology.
Part 2 gives you an in-depth look at adding amps, subs, and upgrading the speakers.
Watch our Part 3 video to see Jeff in action.
Part 3: Making it sound perfect
So now Jeff's got a nice head unit, amps, subs, and a new set of speakers in place. Time to do some serious fine-tuning, as well as upgrade as much as possible in order to achieve the ultimate goal: a perfect soundstage. Here's what's on tap for this round:
- upgrading the speakers to high-end components
- upgrading from 16-gauge wire to 12-gauge
- bi-amping the component speakers
- adding a processor to run the show and fine-tune
Jeff cut a custom-sized piece of plastic to fill the oval factory speaker opening. You can download his template if you'd like to add a 6-3/4" round speaker to your F-150. |
Time to separate the woofer and tweeter with components
It's time to make the leap from a coaxial design, with the woofer and tweeter together, to a component system. The soundstage will benefit from raising the tweeter closer to ear level, and to say that Jeff loves the way the Focal speakers sound is the ultimate understatement.
In fact, he calls the Focal Utopia Be 165W-RC component speakers "the best-sounding pair of speakers I've heard for the dollar." He's heard a few in his day, so that's high praise. Only trouble is, they feature 6¾" round woofers, which had to fit in the F-150's 5"x7" opening. So Jeff made a template and cut a piece of ABS plastic to fit, then screwed the round speakers to it. He cut little notches on the top and bottom of the opening to accommodate the round speaker, and Jeff had the speakers he wanted.
Focal Utopia Be® 165W-RC component speakersJeff knew he needed speakers capable of reproducing the subtle details he wanted his finely tuned audio system to play, so he went straight to the Focal Utopia line and its legendary beryllium tweeter. This tweeter plays so naturally, it's as if the vocalist is right there in the car with you. |
Higher-quality speaker wire: maximizing signal flow from the amplifiers
Up to this point, Jeff had been using the 16-gauge, factory-installed speaker wire. He upgraded to larger 12-gauge wire in order to send more signal to his speakers. He also wanted the better aftermarket wire in there — to a car manufacturer, speaker wire is one of thousands of decisions made to hold costs down, whereas aftermarket companies make the best wire they can. With larger, better-designed, better-insulated wire going from his amps to his subs, Jeff expected a stronger, cleaner signal to eventually reach his ears.
Bi-amping lets Jeff effectively double the power he sends to the front speakers by sending two channels of power to the woofers and the other two to the tweeters. |
Bi-amping the front speakers
Jeff bypassed the component speakers' crossover system and bi-amped them — sending two channels of power to the tweeters, and two to the midrange drivers. This effectively doubled the power sent to the speakers, and increased the headroom in Jeff's system.
A component system's crossovers contain protection circuitry for the mids and tweeters, which makes bi-amping tricky business if they're not specifically designed with the extra inputs to accommodate it. Here, Jeff's taken the crossovers out, but he has a processor strictly controlling the range and intensity of frequencies that are being sent to the tweeters (as shown in the diagram). While some crossovers allow for bi-amping, Jeff cautions that if you bi-amp without a processor, you run a greater risk of damaging your tweeters.
The processor: fine-tuning to perfection
Alpine's PXA-H800 gave Jeff the complete tuning tool he wanted to really home in on the great sound he's after. He tuned his system by adjusting the processor's 31-band EQ for each individual channel, and by applying time correction. He used the remote to address each frequency and meticulously dialed in the levels until the sound curve smoothed out. But it's not just about achieving a perfect curve — it's also about how the system sounds and makes him feel. Jeff can set up his system in different ways, store the settings as presets, and recall them instantly to hear which one suits him best.
Alpine digital processor and controllerThe PXA-H800 processor takes the output from Jeff's receiver, cleans it up, and sends it to his amplifiers. It also gives him a full suite of digital features to fine-tune his system. Putting all the processing power within reach is the RUX-C800 controller, which Jeff mounted in his dash. He left enough cable so he can pull it out of its installed location and access settings easily. |
Checking the sound curve: without the processor
Below, we're using the 7-band parametric EQ in the Alpine receiver, plus the Focal crossover network, to tweak the sound. Remember, the RTA is merely a snapshot of what's going on, so you shouldn't read too deeply into the individual peaks and valleys here. The overall curve is tracking pretty closely with Jeff's ideal.
With the processor
A picture's worth a thousand words. As you can see below, the RTA snapshot looks a lot like Jeff's ideal now. He's leaving a tiny bit of bass on the table, a compromise because he didn't want to give up any seating to add extra subs. After all, he wants to save room for passengers so they can hear how great his truck sounds.
The Soundstage
Jeff's choice of bi-amping the component speakers, combined with the tweaking power and time correction of the PXA-H800 processor, has the soundstage just where he wants it. Now Jeff can picture the band playing out on the hood, right at ear level. The time correction makes sure the image shifts enough to put him front and center.
The soundstage is the most important thing in the whole system buildup — it's what Jeff actually hears, how he experiences what he's worked so hard on. He says it best: "I feel like I'm really listening to music. All the instruments have their own space."
What did we learn during this round of testing?
First of all, the Focal Utopia speakers totally rock. They sound incredible, especially the amazing beryllium tweeter. Every snare hit, tambourine, and other high detail comes in crystal-clear.
Bi-amping, while probably overkill for most of us, was a key to Jeff's plan. It gave him a ton more headroom to work with. Alpine's PXA-H800 processor did the rest, letting Jeff "EQ the heck out of it" and giving him pinpoint control over every channel. Bottom line: his system sounds crazy good. Jeff's fond of saying that he likes to remove the electronics from the equation — meaning all that's left is music, as pristine as it was recorded. And he's definitely accomplished that in his truck.
What's up next?
We'll address the various vibrations and rattles in Jeff's truck with Dynamat sound damping material. We'll test incrementally to note any changes in SPL and the sound curve, including while driving at different speeds over different surfaces. Normally you'd do this while you're doing everything else, but we want to quantify the gains Dynamat gives you.

That's one possibility. Another is that XBMC is ported from Windows by people who don't understand or don't care about linux.
XBMC comes to Android

XBMC is ported from ... the Xbox and the loop was designed in that way. The term 'game-loop' isn't far off.
They do want to change that, but it would require a major rewrite. I think while XBMC is amazing and it will grow to be more amazing too, it will require a full on rewrite to be more portable and less demanding on resources. Event driven and all that.

Our country is headed toward a real cliff beyond the so-called "fiscal cliff" that approaches on January 1 as automatic deep cuts in government spending and increased taxes kick in and drag the whole economy down, unless an agreement is made before or shortly after that date. A quick fix to avoid the fiscal cliff would not solve the problem because still looming would be unsustainable budget deficits and debt which has increased more than a trillion dollars ($1,000 billion) per year or 51 percent in the last four years from $10.7 trillion to $16.2 trillion or about $150,000 per family. Under George W. Bush, it increased 88 percent from $5.7 trillion in his eight years. ObamaCare, as now formulated, won't help the deficit or the economy because of the expansion of Medicaid for the poor. So both parties are at fault.
This year's budget deficit is about $1.1 trillion (one-third of the total budget of $3.5 trillion which is a very high 22.4 percent of gross domestic product = total value of all goods & services produced in a year = total national income of $15.6 trillion). The interest alone on the federal debt is $258 billion per year, making up 10.8 percent of federal revenues. It will be much higher once interest rates go up again. We owe two-thirds of the debt to American holders of treasury securities including the Federal Reserve Bank and one0-third of it or $5.4 trillion to foreign creditors, especially Communist China ($1.2 trillion = 7.1 percent), Japan ($1.1 trillion = 6.8 percent), and the oil exporting countries ($262 billion = 1.6 percent).
We just can't keep borrowing one-third of the federal budget indefinitely. It's impossible! Something has got to give. Yes, the U.S. Treasury can borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank by selling it bonds (IOUs) in exchange for printing up more money so to speak (also IOUs – "Federal Reserve Note" is written on every dollar bill). So the Federal Reserve Bank's Balance Sheet has Treasury bonds (IOUs) as assets backing up our currency as liabilities (Federal Reserve Notes … IOUs). But more money chasing after the same amount of goods is a formula for eventual inflation, i.e., higher prices. We've already done too much of that which increases the money supply … creating money out of nothing as the dollar bill buys less and less.
Sooner or later, the credit of the U.S. Government will disappear. Our creditors will lend the Government less and less money and won't renew their treasury securities that mature. After all, they know that the dollar will go down in value because of increased inflation and it will be worth less and less on the international markets. Can any family survive by rolling up credit card debt equal to a third of its income year after year, borrowing from one credit card to pay off the other? Of course, the family has to cut back drastically and do without things they are accustomed to having.
At this rate we are headed toward financial collapse which would mean runaway inflation and an almost worthless dollar that will be brutal toward everyone with savings and fixed income through pensions and annuities. It happened to Germany twice in its history. To stabilize such an economy severe austerity measures (a big shock) would be necessary, leading to much higher taxes and deep cuts in government spending … much less in defense, government programs, entitlements and health care for the poor, etc., low investment, business bankruptcies, and a deep recession if not a depression with massive unemployment and perhaps social chaos. Italy, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and especially Greece are hurting. Austerity programs in the latter, for example, have caused riots.
The current fiscal cliff pales in comparison to the big cliff. To avoid the latter, it is crucial that we formulate a long-range strategy, such as gradually increasing austerity or a long series of mini-shocks so that the economy can adjust. A quick fix band aid won't cut it. It only postpones the day of reckoning and kicks the can of worms down the road to the next generation. In that way we'll create bigger problems in the long run more difficult to solve … perhaps a monster incapable of solution.
Cooperation. There's no way that the people of the United States will ever be able to pay back the debt, but balancing the budget with a small surplus for the debt would stabilize the economy. It's a huge task in our entitlement society to balance the budget, let alone have money left over to pay off the debt. To prevent our country from going over the precipice, the victors and the vanquished in this election must reach out to each other, compromise, and work together for the common good. If the ship of state sinks, Democrats and Republicans, all of us will go down with it.
To prevent the worst, everyone — conservatives and liberals — must work together wherever possible for the good of the country. As they should, liberals care about the poor, but expect Big Government to do it all. Responsible conservatives also care about the poor, but through the churches and faith-based charities, community organizations, state and local governments, individual and business social responsibility.
There's still time to right the ship. Republicans and Democrats in Congress must stop the rigid gridlock and be objective and flexible. To solve our debt problem, a lot of sacrifice will be required. We'll have to drastically cut spending and social programs. There are agonizing choices as to where to make cuts … damned if we do; damned if we don't. People with different interests will scream: "not my benefits; not my program; not my tax deductions (as for charitable donations); not my tax credits". There's a limit to how much spending can be cut (i.e., discretionary spending); most is fixed (interest on the debt, Social Security, Medicare, pension payments, etc.). So, let's face it … the T word. We'll have to pay more taxes. Both sides must yield to compromise.
With cut government programs for the poor, we can't leave the needy hanging out to dry. We'll have to do much more as individuals and businesses with our time, talent and treasure. We'll have to give more of our time to the church and community in volunteer work. We'll have to be more generous in donating to charities. Churches will have to do more. Community organizations will have to do more. Businesses will have to be more involved than ever with the community and give back more of their resources. After all, the citizens of the community are the life blood, support, and sustenance of every business as employees, customers, lenders through their bank savings, and as investors. Yes, it's all about sacrifice for the common good … all of us.
We can alleviate the debt crisis if we as individuals and as a nation make sacrifices now. The longer we wait, the worse it will get. Austerity when a financial collapse is imminent would be much, much worse.
Pray for the good of the country that these fears are not realized. We must right the ship of state before it goes over the falls. He won; we lost, but we can help him to become a successful president for the common good of the country. It's not important who gets the credit.

The family of a Yale University student murdered by a co-worker in a campus research facility two years ago filed a wrongful death lawsuit on Tuesday against the university, accusing Yale of failing to protect women and tolerating aggressive male behavior.
The 10-page lawsuit, filed at Superior Court in New Haven by the administrator of the estate of slain student Annie Le, says: "Yale had long taken inadequate steps to ensure the safety and security of women on its campus."

Yale University, 500 College St, New Haven, CT 06511-8962, USA
The lawsuit alleges that "sexual attacks on and harassment of women at Yale had been a well-documented and long-standing problem, and there was a widespread belief that Yale repeatedly failed to impose meaningful discipline on offenders."
The lawsuit also accuses Yale of being slow to respond to concerns that Le was missing.
Although Yale was aware that Le did not return home on the night of Sept. 8, 2009, the university "did not investigate her absence in earnest until the following morning," the lawsuit states.
A Superior Court judge in June sentenced Raymond Clark III to 44 years in prison for the slaying of Le, a third-year doctoral student in pharmacology and bride-to-be from Placerville, Calif. She was reported missing Sept. 8, 2009, shortly before her wedding.
At first, some speculated that Le might have been a runaway bride. For days, local and state investigators and the FBI searched the basement of the Yale Animal Research Center, a research building at the Yale School of Medicine complex where Le was last seen alive. Clark worked as a lab technician at the center, and Le did research there.
Police found Le's body stuffed inside the wall of the lab on Sept. 13, the day that Le, 24, was to be married. The state medical examiner said that Le was strangled and her body was badly beaten. Many of her bones were broken in the attack.
Yale University and the Yale School of Medicine are named in the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified compensatory damages.
Attorneys Paul Slager of Stamford and Joseph Tacopina of New York, who represent Le's family, said in a statement that Yale had "long taken inadequate steps to ensure the safety and security of women on its campus. Yale's persistent tolerance of sexual harassment and sexual assaults on campus caused students to file a Title IX Complaint against Yale University. And, just five days before she was to be married, Annie Le was a victim of that environment."
The lawsuit says that Yale knew or should have known that Clark posed a potential threat to the safety of Le, claiming that Clark "previously demonstrated aggressive behavior and a violent propensity towards women."
The lawsuit does not elaborate on the incident involving Clark's alleged behavior and Yale's alleged knowledge of it.
The lawsuit cites a fire alarm that went off in the building the afternoon of Sept. 8, saying that Yale should have known that Le did not leave the building as the others did once the alarm sounded.
"Based on Yale's negligence in, among other things, hiring, retaining and supervising Clark, and providing a safe and secure environment for Annie Le, Ms. Le endured a brutal physical and sexual attack, resulting in significant conscious suffering before her death, for which Yale is liable," the attorneys said in their statement.
In a statement that Yale released Tuesday afternoon, the university said "there is no basis" for the civil suit.
"Yale had no information indicating that Raymond Clark was capable of committing this terrible crime, and no reasonable security measures could have prevented his unforeseeable act," the statement said. "Annie Le's murder shocked and deeply saddened the entire Yale community. As a community we united to support and comfort her family and loved ones, and create a lasting memorial to her life. This lawsuit serves neither justice nor Annie's memory, and the University will defend against it as appropriate."
At his sentencing in June, Clark apologized for killing Le, lying about the crime and devastating family members on both sides.
"Annie was and will always be a wonderful person, by far a better person than I will ever be in my life," Clark told the judge.
The 44-year prison sentence was part of a plea agreement worked out by prosecutors and defense attorneys. Clark pleaded guilty to charges of murder and criminal attempt to commit sexual assault. The plea to the latter charge was entered under the Alford doctrine, meaning that Clark did not admit guilt but conceded that there probably was enough evidence to convict him at trial. Clark previously faced charges of murder and felony murder.
Clark, 26, of Middletown, could get out of prison in 2053. He is not eligible for parole.

Damn the Man!
We all hate the long lines, bureaucratic nonsense, and lack of personality the DMV offers up like they're doing us a favor, however, Ashton Kutcher and his television production company, Katalyst Media, is going a step further by suing the California Department of Motor Vehicles for $1.44 million for backing out of a deal to participate in a reality show centered on the daily life at the DMV. He's claiming the state agency breached a signed contract that would have allowed his company access to the DMV to make a half-hour reality show.
The lawsuit claims "just six weeks after signing its Agreement, DMV abruptly and without justification, changed course. In a five-sentence letter to Katalyst producer Jason Goldberg, [Deputy Director] Mirando simply declared the DMV no longer considered the Series to be in it's 'best interests' and would therefore 'not be moving forward on such a project.'"
Typical DMV arrogance versus Hollywood contract muscle. We'll see who wins.

That's right comedy lovers, Jim Carrey is saying no to a Dumb and Dumber sequel. Sources told ETOnline that the funnyman wasn't feeling the love from studio executives at New Line and Warner Bros. The actor feels the studios "showed a lack of enthusiasm" for the reunion to the 1994 hit, which supposedly was due to be titled Dumb and Dumber To.
It's disappointing for everyone since the Farrelly brothers apparently worked for years to bring the original cast, including Jeff Daniels, back together. But with his exit, it's no doubt the sequel's future becomes uncertain.

I have a problem now after trying to go back from LeJOS to original LEGO Firmware.
I was on batteries while doing the operation and when i started updating the FW the screen got black and the update process hanged.
Now i have a brick, with a blank screen when i put batteries in and a tick sound. I have been searching on other forums and i've seen people with the same problem so i thought this could be useful to someone else.
I have tried the different tricks that i found like resetting the brick holding the button on the back of the brick for 4-5 seconds and more but the brick is just no longer found by either by nxj bins nor the Mindstorm program that came with the box.
I am using Mac OS X Lion.
Any hints, ideas or solutions are welcome!
