Ugly Sears loss makes it a salvage operation, not a turnaround playMichael Santoli at Hot Stock Minute20 hrs ago
Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD), parent of the struggling Sears and Kmart chains, is not a retail turnaround story. It's not even really a retail story.
Sears reported another wretched quarter, losing $574 million, or $5.39 a share, on a steep 9.7% decline in sales. Though almost 40% of that sales decline is from the loss of transactions recorded by Lands' End Inc. (LE), which Sears spun off in April, the retail business continues to lose market share due to its aging store base.
While Sears extolls the 73% of eligible sales occurring through its Shop Your Way customer-loyalty program, the company is discounting heavily to draw that business and margins have dropped precipitously. Sure, online sales keep growing as a percentage of the whole, and same-store sales at core Sears domestic stores stabilized the past two quarters. But Kmart remains a mess, with few apparent options for fixing itself.
Hertz heading for management shakeup?Kathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute21 hrs ago
Hertz (HTZ) is getting plenty of attention from big investors these days. Billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn disclosed yesterday in a regulatory filing that he owns an 8.5% stake, or 38.8 million shares in the company.
"The life of management is going to be made more miserable by the presence of Icahn," said Yahoo Finance Senior Columnist Michael Santoli.
Icahn plans to pressure Hertz on accounting issues, operational failures and his lack of confidence in management. Also, i n typical Icahn fashion, he expressed interest in gaining a seat on Hertz's board. Hertz adopted a so-called "poison pill" last year, an action used to prevent any one shareholder from taking control of the company.
Hertz shares tumbled on Wednesday after the company said it expects its earnings for the year to be well below its previous guidance. The company cited operational challenges, including record-level vehicle recall activity and costs related to restating its financial statements for the last three years.
Santoli said Icahn is not alone in expressing his dissatisfaction with how the company has been mismanaged.
Sears slides; Family Dollar rejects Dollar General bid; Hungry for HormelKathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute23 hrs ago
Here is a look at some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.
Sears (SHLD) shares tumbled in early trading. The owner of Sears department stores and Kmart stores reported its ninth-straight quarterly loss. Adjusted earnings missed analysts' expectations by $0.24. Revenue, which fell almost 10%, also missed the mark.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is also on investors' watchlist this morning. A 12% jump in sales of personal computers helped HP post its first year-over-year sales increase in three years. Sales rose more than 1% from a year earlier, beating analysts' estimates. However, earnings matched expectations as the company undergoes a massive restructuring.
Family Dollar rejects Dollar General takeover bid; BofA in record settlement with DOJ; Weekly jobless claims fallDean Arrindell at Hot Stock Minute1 day ago
Family Dollar (FDO) formally rejected a takeover bid from Dollar General (DG) this morning. Family Dollar said a merger with Dollar General wouldn't likely be completed because of anti-trust concerns. Family Dollar also affirmed its support to merge with Dollar Tree (DLTR) in a deal worth about $8.5 billion.
The Justice Department announced a settlement with Bank of America (BAC) for the bank to pay $16.65 billion for its role in mortgage-backed securities sold in the run-up to the financial crisis. BofA will pay a penalty of $9.65 billion. An additional $7 billion in aid will go to homeowners and communities. The settlement is the largest in history between a company and the federal government.
Apple's record stock priceDean Arrindell at Hot Stock Minute1 day ago
Amid the anticipation of the iPhone 6 launch, excitement surrounding Apple (AAPL) has been focused on its stock price. Shares of the company closed Tuesday at a split-adjusted record high of $100.53. The company continues to break records today as it traded in record territory.
Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Aaron Task said that calling Apple stock a great investment would be an understatement. He cited a Wall Street Journal article that said a $10,000 investment in Apple 10 years ago would be worth more than $456,000 today. "This is why people own individual stocks as opposed to mutual fund or ETF of indexes. Because you just don't get that kind of performance from the broad market," said Task. "It just doesn't happen."
After "being left-for-dead" by some, Task said that Apple turned itself around and revolutionized a couple of different industries. "It's just a phenomenal performance."
Back to school won't save some retailersKathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute1 day ago
Kids across the country may be cringing at the thought that it's time hit the books again, but retailers are hoping the key back-to-school shopping season could give them boost they need after a ho-hum second quarter earnings season.
Target (TGT) which is still feeling the aftershocks of last year's massive data breach reported earnings fell 62% last quarter, missing analysts' estimates. The company also lowered its full year outlook.
However, the retailer said it does see signs that sales trends improved in recent weeks. "While results from the quarter didn't meet our expectations, we are seeing some early signs of progress as we work to improve results in the U.S. and Canada," Chief Financial Officer John Mulligan said in a news release. "In the U.S., traffic trends continue to recover and monthly sales are improving. Better U.S. sales have continued into August, driven by early back-to-school results."
Target misses the mark; Lowe's lowers sales outlook; Hertz hurtingKathy Cherpelis at Hot Stock Minute1 day ago
Here is a look at some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.
Retailers are dominating the headlines this morning. Target (TGT) shares were lower in the premarket after the big-box retailer lowered its outlook for the year as it struggles to win back consumers after last year's massive data breach. Target also reported earnings that missed estimates by a penny, but revenue beat by about $30 million.
Staples (SPLS) shares were higher in early trading. The office supplies retailer posted second quarter earnings of $0.12 a share beating analysts' estimates by a penny. Revenue also came in slightly better than expected, but was down nearly 2% compared to a year earlier. The company warned that sales could fall in the current quarter as it continues to struggle with competition from big box and online retailers. Staples is also going ahead with plans to shut-down underperforming stores. It said it will close about 140 stores in North America this year.
Investors cautious ahead of Fed minutes; Pay-to-play at the Super Bowl halftime show? Can back-to-school season boost retailers?Dean Arrindell at Hot Stock Minute2 days ago
The minutes of last month's Federal Reserve meeting will be released later today. Investors will be keeping a close eye on what the Fed has to say about the labor market. The release comes ahead of Fed Chair Janet Yellen's speech at the Kansas City Fed's Jackson Hole conference on Friday. The Fed minutes will be released at 2p.m. Eastern today.
A couple of retailers reported earnings indicating they are struggling. Staples (SPLS) beat on both earnings and revenue, but the latter was down nearly 2% compared to a year earlier. The company said sales could fall in the current quarter as it continues to struggle with competition from big box and online retailers. Meanwhile, Target (TGT) lowered its outlook for the year as it reported that it missed earnings estimates by a penny, but beat on revenue by about $30 million.
Google's IPO AnniversaryDean Arrindell at Hot Stock Minute2 days ago
Ten years ago today, Google (GOOGL) went public, and what a difference a decade makes.
Since its IPO, the company has moved beyond being a search engine. Gmail had just launched the previous April. It bought YouTube in 2006. In Q2 of this year, Google's Android operating system had about 85% of the smartphone operating system market share according to IDC. This year it bought a drone company and debuted a driverless car prototype.

The number one topic on every Predator fan's mind now is likely the potential for a trade deadline move. At the top of the list sits Columbus captain Rick Nash, this season's Holy Grail of deadline moves.
Since the story broke that Nashville has put an offer down to acquire Captain Columbus, (Colin Wilson, Ryan Ellis, Teemu Laakso and the 2012 1st-round selection is rumored) let's examine the merits of making (or not making) a move that could put the Preds at the top of the heap as a Cup contender.
Pro: It's Rick Nash, and he is the top-six forward the Preds have coveted for so long. Not only does provide immediate scoring help, but he will ease the pressure on the rest of the lineup, one that has already caused problems for teams because of the balance of goals across the board.
Con: The price. This deal, in all likelihood, won't get done without giving up current roster players, potentially upsetting the locker room chemistry. Columbus' biggest need is between the pipes, as Steve Mason is no longer the answer. He simply hasn't come close to repeating the Calder Trophy-winning season he had a few years ago (the same one that kept Pekka Rinne from claiming that hardware). Considering this, does David Poile consider including Anders Lindback? If he does, then an injury to Rinne could be catastrophic.
Pro: Nash will go to a team where he doesn't have to worry about wearing a letter. He can simply focus on playing the game and making his teammates better. It would be a refreshing change and a heavy burden off his chest (pun may or may not have been intended).
Con: The cap hit. Not talking about "real money" here, because if Poile is putting an offer in for him, it's not an issue. Instead, look to next season, where nobody knows what the cap ceiling will be and what the Collective Bargaining Agreement will do to that cap. The new CBA is the wild card. Also, can the Preds fit Nash in under the cap if both Shea Weber and Ryan Suter do re-sign, without shaking up the roster too much? It might not be a problem at the moment, but it would become one in the offseason.
Pro: More physicality up front for a seven-game series. Think back to both San Jose series. That's what the Preds will have this time around. The Preds already have the League's No. 1 power play unit. Nash will help them improve in 5-on-5 play as well as puck possession, a key attribute the Preds need to get better at to go deep.
Con: Will it appease Suter? If acquiring the biggest name available doesn't convince Suter to sign an extension, then he needs to walk.
Nashville's already in the mix even without Rick Nash. He would arguably make this team one of the biggest threats to win the Cup. Nash is in a bad situation in Columbus and wants out. Forget the fact that it's a deal inside the division. Columbus needs help and the current deal on the table gives both sides what they need. If Scott Howson doesn't take the best offer because he's trying to avoid a division deal, then he's not dealing in the best interest of the team and should be pink-slipped immediately.
Verdict: In my opinion, Columbus needs this deal worse than Nashville does. The Preds can compete for the Stanley Cup without Rick Nash. Sure, Nash could go to Toronto or the New York Rangers or San Jose, but until another team ups the ante, Columbus is looking at the best offer on the table. The Blue Jackets need to start over, now. This deal helps them do it. Will we miss Wilson and Ellis if they get dealt? Absolutely. But if this deal is indeed made and this team is playing hockey in June, then it will be worth it.

I bought this Everest mummy bag saecube I thought it would be a lot warmer than my other sleeping bags. Apparently, it is not. My husband went tent camping in the snow with my son. They doubled up their sleeping bags, placing one bag inside another. My son stayed nice and warm. My husband said he was so cold, he couldn\'t get any sleep. I took the sleeping bag cabin camping. It was warm in the cabin, so warm we had to open windows. I thought I\'d be too hot in the sleeping bag. Not at all. It was just right. This is a light duty sleeping bag. I wouldn\'t recommend it for anyplace cold. Also, it is not at all as compact as a down sleeping bag. It rolls up into a big ball that we stuff into a bag. If I were backpacking, I\'d want something much smaller.

The Canary Islands have, for a long time, been one of the world's best known and favorite holiday destinations. Situated in Europe, the islands provide a taste of the exotic for those keen to book a short-term trip filled with sun, sand and sea.
While the islands themselves have by no means lost their charm, you may find yourself keen to move away from the well-known resorts, particularly if you're travelling during the season's peak.
Here, we take a quick look at several Canary Island resorts that you might not have considered.
The island of Fuerteventura is slightly less well known than the other major islands of the Canaries, but it still proves to be an extremely popular destination with tourists. The island offers everything that one might expect from a visit to the Canary Islands – a warm climate, convenient location and friendly locals, but the island is unique in one main respect – the warm breeze.
Fuerteventura is a popular destination with those seeking a holiday packed full of activities. While it's quite possible to find a beach with a decent breeze back in the UK, the island of Fuerteventura offers one that is warm and enjoyable. If you're keen to try your hand at some sailing or kite surfing – or if you're a seasoned pro looking for somewhere to practice – Fuerteventura holidays are ideal.
Europe may be home to more than a handful of the world's premier holiday destinations, but so many of them are so alike. The Canary Island of Lanzarote is a rare treat; the landscape really puts it in a world of its own. Where many island destinations in Europe have worked hard to establish a local buzz and a variety of interesting towns, it all comes naturally to the island of Lanzarote.
The volcanic landscape makes the island a great one to explore and the beaches are among the very best on the continent. If you're looking for something a little different, head to the black sand beaches or journey inland to get a better look at the beautiful volcanic landscape.
While the island is not as exposed to wind as the neighbouring Fuerteventura, visitors can expect a wide range of water sports and activities to be on offer at most of the larger beaches. There are of course plenty of smaller beaches for those looking for something a bit more relaxing – bliss!

First off, can everyone introduce themselves and tell us what you do for the company?
NATE: We all wear different hats, but basically there are three partners that oversee specific duties alongside sharing A&R duties: Nate Nelson (me)-operations, licensing, digital; Jamie Strong-marketing, sales; and Hanni El Khatib-art, branding.
Who started the label and what made you decide to do so?
NATE: I started it in 2010 when I was at Stones Throw Records as a creative outlet to release vinyl singles of bands/groups I was interested in at the time and who weren't on Stones Throw. It evolved when I brought on Jamie, who I was working with at the time at Stones Throw, and Hanni as partners in 2011 to put out recordings that all three members were into (including Hanni's recordings).
What's your vision for the future of the brand?
JAMIE: To put out music that we enjoy and work with bands/artists/groups that we think have strong aesthetic attributes.
What's a typical day like for you guys?
NATE: I can speak for myself that I wake up at six or seven a.m. and start answering emails through most of my day.
JAMIE: No two days are alike with the exception of emails morning, noon and night. When dealing with artists, it's anything but 'typical' which is also the beauty of what we do.
HANNI: It's always different for me. It really just depends if I'm on the road touring or if I'm home for a break in L.A. Some days are filled with music and art, while other days I'm buried in emails and phone calls. You never know what you're gonna get with this industry.
One of the bands on your label is Rhye. When you signed them, did you expect them to blow up the way they did? Their album got a ton of hype!
NATE: We were really into the first demo we heard and both of the members' previous projects. There's always a financial and time risk when you sign and invest money into an act. We were fortunate that the two members took what we gave them and made an incredible album. And that we had smart marketing and art people supporting the group to make the project react like it did.
JAMIE: Being big fans of Milosh's solo work and Robin's work on various projects, we knew we had something incredibly special, but to what extent we had no idea. It was the perfect storm from the onset: incredible music paired with a great visual aesthetic.
What's the music scene like out in L.A.?
NATE: Amazing and ever expanding.
Have you found that the role of the internet has helped or hindered your growing business? Do you think it'd be easier to start up a record label in, say, 1970, or would it be even harder?
NATE: The sales market isn't what it once was. I think that's a force of the internet. But there are different promo and marketing tools that the web provides and different revenue streams that it opens up. It's not easier or harder opening a label in the 20Teens, just different.
What music are you all currently listening to?
NATE: Gene Clark "Two Sides To Every Story" has been on my turntable for the last few weeks. I can't stop listening to it, it's so good.
JAMIE: El Ten Eleven "S/T". Casual Math Rock Vibes from 2005. Weirdly becoming my soundtrack for the summer.
HANNI: I've got this 45 of a song called "For Goodness Sake" by Tommy Vann & The Professionals that has been on constant repeat since I got it.
Do you guys think cassettes are coming back? It seems like cassettes are kind of coming back.
NATE: Ha. I think the kids are already over cassettes now and CDs are making a comeback.
HANNI: I want laser discs to come back.
If you're in the car and your radio is stuck on a top 40 pop station, what song do you hope comes on? We all have our guilty pleasures.
NATE: I told my wife that I actually like that new Miley Cyrus song that's blowing up right now. Shit-I liked her other song too; it's always a "Party in The U.S.A." with Miley.
JAMIE: That Lumineers track. I'm waiting for someone to sample that and flip it into a dope trap beat or something with Busta Rhymes rapping on it.
HANNI: Drake "Started From the Bottom." This song just makes me want to toss money in the sky.


text: Not sure if there has been something similar to this on here (probably has) but I have been thinking a lot about how some of the current top prospects in baseball compare with what earlier prospects have done. would a 2011 Matt Moore be ranked ahead of a 2007 Homer Bailey? Would a 2006 Delmon Young be more hyped than Mike Trout is? I feel like prospecting has become more of a science even in the last 3-4 years than it was earlier in the decade. This could just be me but I feel like a lot more of the top prospects have actually panned out and I don't know if that is becasue we have simply had a wave of incredibly talented prospects in the last few years or because of better evaluation of young baseball talent. Like I said above there may already be a post discussing this, but I haven't been visiting the site as much in the last year and a half or so, so I apologize if I have just wasted anyone's time.

Jayson Werth looks old to me. He's 33 this year, and will be on the team with an albatross contract for 5 more seasons after this one. His contract won't run out until his age 38 season in 2017.
I'm okay with him in the corner OF in his age 34 and 35 seasons (2013 and 2014). Potentially in his age 36 season as well if he stays healthy. NOT in CF though as I've said in other threads.
But as Werth ages, the team should give serious consideration to moving him to first base. I expect that they're thinking this as well, having given him top dollar to play well into his late 30s. His legs won't stay healthy if he stays in the outfield.
This means that Michael Morse will have to either switch teams or stay in the corner OF long-term. Makes little sense to shift Morse to 1B for a couple of seasons to only switch him back to the OF when Werth gets too old to play there consistently. Morse is only 30 this year so it's feasible for him to stay in corner OF until Werth ages out of his contract, when Morse will be 35. Morse plays adequately there and has no injury problems at the moment, unlike Werth with his ankle issues. But Morse is another big man who is best suited for 1B. Morse's contract runs out after the 2013 season.
It also means Tyler Moore may need to lose weight and play in the corner OF, or be traded. If Moore drops 20 pounds, he will be an adequate corner OF. A little slow right now with the extra baggage.
The intrigue for the Nats in the coming years is clearly at the 1B and OF positions. Right now they have FOUR players (LaRoche, Morse, Werth, Moore) who are best suited, or who will be best suited, to play first base. They will have to either move some of these guys and replace them with true outfielders or work out some sort of 1B/OF platoon system to rest weary legs. The latter is unlikely since Morse, Werth, and Moore all bat right-handed. If they want to platoon at first, it makes sense to keep LaRoche around.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | emailDecember 16, 2008
ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The Kinchafoonee and Muckalee Creeks in Lee County are receding, much to the relief of people who live near them.
Water no longer covers Creekside Drive now that the Kinchafoonee is falling. It was impassible Monday. It will likely be another couple of days before yards dry out.
Some people had to use boats to get to their homes.
"We don't think we'll have to redo the driveway," Charlotte Swain. "We're probably going to build it up a little bit more and there will be a little bit of wash away and there will be some debris, but since the water wasn't actually rushing it just kind of rose slowly it will go back down the same way."
The Kinchafoonee Creek crested at 17.3 feet, four feet over the flood stage, leaving at least a dozen homes surrounded by water and several with damages.
The Muckalee Creek crested just shy of flood stage damaging two homes.

Kilty wins gold for Britain (From Burnley and Pendle Citizen)

Kilty wins gold for Britain
8:21pm Saturday 8th March 2014 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
Britain's Richard Kilty claimed a stunning victory in the 60 metres at the World Indoor Championships.
Minutes after Tiffany Porter had taken bronze in the 60m hurdles, Kilty produced the greatest performance of his career to snatch gold at the Ergo Arena in Sopot.
The 24-year-old from Stockton stormed to a personal best of 6.49 seconds, edging out Marvin Bracy of the United States by 0.02secs, with Femi Ogunode of Qatar taking bronze.
Dwain Chambers, who was seeking a fourth straight medal in the event, could only finish sixth in 6.53 as the eight finalists were separated by just 0.09s.
In the hurdles, Porter, who won silver two years ago, was hampered by a slow start but produced a strong finish to record a season's best of 7.86 seconds, just 0.01 secs behind Olympic champion Sally Pearson. Nia Ali of the United States took gold in a personal best time of 7.80s.
Luke Cutts had been tipped to win a first ever global medal by a British male athlete in the pole vault after setting a new national record of 5.83m earlier this year, but he could only finish eighth in the final.
Cutts needed three attempts to clear his first height of 5.40m and eventually bowed out of the competition after three failures at 5.75m.

There is a slight chance of showers and flurries in metro Atlanta Thursday evening thanks to a fast-moving weather system that will move across Georgia.
It is more likely that Atlanta will not see any precipitation. The latest models continue to show it mainly cloudy in Atlanta Thursday, with a 20% chance of precipitation.
The chance of showers and flurries will be between 4 p.m. - 10 p.m. Thursday evening.
If precipitation develops, it will start as showers with a mix of showers and flurries after sunset.
Snow amounts
Very little precipitation is expected due to dry air in the city. Accumulations would be very light through north Georgia into the mountains. In addition, temperatures will be above freezing during the precipitation, so no accumulations are expected in Metro Atlanta.
Black ice Thursday night
Any precipitation that does fall Thursday evening will freeze after 10 p.m. Thursday night. This will create patches of black ice Thursday night through Friday morning.

Training camp is around the corner and I'm excited. Not much has changed as far as the guys we all depend on to win games. There is a new head coach running the sidelines (although we have seen him around these parts before) and possibly a changing of the guard at the point position (I am hopeful). Otherwise much is still the same in Hawksville. And that includes the Hawks' youth.
What was a symptom of the Hawks' past shortcomings is now a source of strength. Our frontline is arguably one of the best in the league and factually one of the youngest. Could you believe that Josh Smith, Al Horford, and Marvin Williams will all start the season as 24-year-olds? And if Jeff Teague is able to take the starting point guard duties away from Mike Bibby during training camp, the Hawks will have a 22-year-old floor general. And yet the Hawks are set to be Eastern Conference contenders. Now that's something to be excited about!
Also in the fold are Jordan Crawford and Pape Sy (both will be 22-years-old at the start of the season). And with the uncertainty of Jamal Crawford being in the Hawks lineup, JC2 may have a legit chance of having an impact in the Hawks line up this season. So there is a possibility that we could see a lineup on the floor featuring the "24 & Under Squad".

British Columbia Parliament Buildings - Victoria
The World > North America > Canada
The British Columbia Parliament Buildings are located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and are home to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. The Speaker and the Sergeant-At-Arms are amongst those responsible for the legislative precinct, which by statute include the Parliament Buildings and grounds. The Neo-baroque buildings face north on Belleville street facing the Inner Harbour and diagonally across from The Empress Hotel. A statue of Queen Victoria stands on the front lawn as well a statue of a soldier to commemorate the province's World War I, World War II and Korean War dead. Atop the central dome is a gold-covered statue of Captain George Vancouver. Free guided tours of the facility are offered year-round.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

I have tried to decode an audio conversation from me and a collegue of mine done with MSN messenger audio connection. Starting from pcap, i removed all the headers to have only the RTP payload. I would like to decode this file. From SIP messagging, it results that the RTP Payload Type is 111 (rtpmap: 111 SIREN/16000). I have tried to use the vivog723.acm codec but it doesn't work.
Someone can help me?
hey! i am facing the same problem... i have voice conversation through MSN in rtpDump... I tried using JMStudio... but in vain...
if someone can assist me with some suggestions... can email me on email@example.com
thnx in advance...
I also tried the same kind of exercice...
The difference is that the codec I see is rtpmap:114 x-msrtp
Anyone knows this codec ?
I use MSN 7.5.0324
True... so far in my ordeal i have encountered 4 codec....
SIREN, G722.1, RED(97) and X-mstra... not a clue about any of them nor how to retrieve sound from them...
RED stands for "Redundant Audio Data". It is used to send the actual and some former frames (timeslices) in one RTP packet. If packet loss is high, the encoder can send older frames as well, possibly with lower bitrate codec. Inside a RED packet, any codec can appear which is in the rtpmap.
RED is specified in RFC 2198:
It is quite easy to decode these packages.
True... how ever i have not been able to decode RED. Also i haven't come across anyone who has made a decoder for RED
I have a problem about x-msrta.what is it?
Anyone knows this codec ?
I use MSN 7.5 too!
please email me on email@example.com
I don't think you will be able to decode these media stream.
They are encoded in Microsoft proprietary algorithms.
I don't say it's impossible.
I just say it's not something you can decipher
using any lambda decoder.
Have fun
For Linux there is a tool named pcap2wav (a derivate project of xplico) able to decode RTP with msrta (x-msrta) codec.
I think it is open source: http://pcap2wav.xplico.org

Lilburn Woman's Club holds Southern Tea
LILBURN -- The Lilburn Woman's Club celebrated Mother's Day recently with a Mother-Daughter Southern Style Tea.
Every year Mothers and Daughters all over the South get dressed up complete with matching hats and corsages to enjoy each other's company in honor of Mother's Day.
This year, members of the GFWC Lilburn Woman's Club celebrated Mother's Day at the home of Sandy McGuire, where she hosted her 14th annual Mother-Daughter Southern Style Tea for family, friends and members of the community.
The event doubled as a fundraiser with this year's donations of $850 going to the Alzheimer's Research Foundation.
Even the children greeted the guests at the entrance with homemade lemonade joined in and donated all the proceeds from their tip jars to the cause.
Last year the event raised several hundred dollars in support of the Patti-Jo Shapiro Scholarships, which were awarded earlier in the month to two local high school seniors.
Tennis tourney raises money for Hemophilia
FLOWERY BRANCH -- More than 150 tennis players and spectators convened recently in Flowery Branch for Sterling on the Lake's Fifth Annual Member-Guest Tennis Tournament presented by Milton Martin Honda and Stage Environmental Solutions.
The tournament was open to all residents of Sterling on the Lake and a non-resident partner of their choice. The teams were divided into nine brackets with every level of tennis represented from beginners to seasoned pros.
Through sponsorships, entry fees and a silent auction, the three-day tournament once again raised money for Hemophilia of Georgia, a local organization that exists so that people in the state affected by bleeding disorders can live as normally and productively as possible.
This year's tournament raised a total of $9,000, on par with the last four years of fundraising.
G-Braves award grant to Special Olympics
LAWRENCEVILLE -- The Gwinnett Braves have awarded their $1,000 grant for the month of April to Gwinnett County Special Olympics. The "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" themed grant aimed at assisting organizations that promote youth athletics and activities. It will help fund Special Olympics sports program for youth with intellectual disabilities.
Gwinnett County Special Olympics supports more than 2,000 athletes of all ages including school-age children with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience the joy of sports participation.
Gwinnett Gab appears in the Thursday and Sunday editions of the Gwinnett Daily Post. To submit an item to Gwinnett Gab, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

WOONSOCKET ŌĆö A local man was charged with the theft of natural gas service after police located stolen National Grid equipment and tools at the apartment where he was staying on Saturday.
Timothy E. Ring, 34, was located in a bedroom in an apartment at 47 Paradis Ave. after police investigated a report of gas service tampering at the location at about 1 p.m. Saturday.
A National Grid employee called Patrolman Thomas Gormley III to the location after discovering that a stolen gas meter may have been attached to lines for a shutoff service at the property.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Municipal officials ŌĆō including Central Falls Receiver Robert Flanders ŌĆō argued to legislators Tuesday that pension reform cannot be considered comprehensive if it doesnŌĆÖt include independent city and town pension funds, called the non-MERS plans.
With cameras flashing, Jason Reilly wore a smile as he was the first to cross the finish line of the United HealthCare Half Marathon back on Oct. 16.
The former Cumberland High standout experienced the euphoria of winning and the satisfaction that his strategy paid off on the scenic Newport course.
For about 20 minutes.
NORTH SMITHFIELD ŌĆö When it gets to the end of the league season and the seedings are essentially assured for the playoff-bound teams, it's all about momentum for the postseason.
That's what neighboring Division II-North rivals North Smithfield and host Lincoln were playing for on Tuesday night at the Northmen's Athletic Field.
After 80 minutes of well-played soccer by both squads, the end result was a more-than-fair scoreless tie.
Dreamers can always dream big. ItŌĆÖs a birthright that canŌĆÖt be stripped away, regardless if this figment of oneŌĆÖs creative tanks comes off as either practical or far-fetched.
How do dreams take flight? Obviously we donŌĆÖt fit the description of a neuroscientist, yet weŌĆÖll let you in on the origin behind this particular thought process.
Go back to last week and the exhibition contest between Providence College and Assumption that was played at Alumni Hall. As the game progressed, the more serious we started lending support to this: What if the Friars played a handful of games on campus?

Born in Poughkeepsie, she was the daughter of William and Edith (Decker) Prince.
Hazel lived in Bellingham, MA for twenty plus years before moving to Chepachet, RI where she lived for the past thirteen years. She was known simply as Red to most of her close friends and colleagues working as a waitress in restaurants throughout Rhode Island.
Pauline Ida Lessard
WOONSOCKET- Pauline Ida (Brouillard) Lessard, 90, of Bradford Street, died Saturday, October 29, 2011, at the Oakland Grove Health Care Center, Woonsocket. She was the wife of the late George C. Lessard.

BURILLVILLE ŌĆö For students at Burrillville Middle School, ŌĆ£being mean stinks.ŌĆØ
Hundreds of students in Grades 7-8 have been taking part in Bullying Prevention Month activities this month as part of a local school campaign to spread the word about bullying prevention.
Led by school counselor Pamela Connors, each of the students have taken the anti-bullying promise in which they pledge to wipe out bullying. ŌĆ£Bullying is cruel. Bullying hurts. Bullying will not be tolerated,ŌĆØ the pledge says in part.
ŌĆ£These activities have really united our school,ŌĆØ says Connors.
Just because the Red Sox declined to pick up Dan WheelerŌĆÖs $3 million option for the 2012 season doesnŌĆÖt automatically spell the end of the partnership between the team and relief pitcher.
As Wheeler explained when reached Monday afternoon, the opportunity to return to Boston remains on the table. ItŌĆÖs just that the process in doing so has completely changed.
The Division I playoff seeding race has changed shape several times over the past week.
A fortnight ago, it appeared as though La Salle Academy and Shea High would finish 1-2 in the overall points race. Now, thanks to a strong finish by Central Falls, the Warriors will be the No. 2 seed in the eight-team playoff field that begins action on Friday.

Women's basketball wins:
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -This time, California did all the little things and coach Joanne Boyle had few complaints.
Ashley Walker scored 27 points to surpass the 1,500 mark for her career and also grabbed 17 rebounds, leading No. 9 Cal past Nevada 67-53 on Sunday in its final tuneup before a showdown with fifth-ranked Rutgers on Friday.
Despite a cold performance on offense, the Golden Bears bounced back two days after Boyle publicly criticized her players and challenged them to do more on the heels of a subpar 24-point season-opening victory against Albany.
"We had talked about the things missing from the game - a lack of passion, a lack of energy, no cheering on the bench," Boyle said Sunday. "Part of our identity was missing. The kids came out and really focused."
Walker scored seven straight points for her team during one second-half stretch and hit 9 of 13 free throws, not to mention her two assists, two steals and two blocked shots. Alexis Gray-Lawson added 15 points, freshman Casey Morris came off the bench to score 12 and Lauren Greif had eight points, eight rebounds and four steals for Cal.
Cal came out with more energy, established its transition game, pressured the ball to get steals and hit the boards to limit Nevada's chances on offense. But the scrappy Wolf Pack kept pushing until the end, briefly pulling back within 10 on Megan Cherry's baseline 3-pointer with 4:04 left. Cal shot 34 percent and went 1-for-14 on 3-pointers.
Water polo beats Irvine:
Fourth-ranked California built a four-goal lead after three quarters and held off No. 9 UC Irvine, 8-6, in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation game at Anteater Pool Sunday afternoon. Cory Nasoff and Brian Dudley led the Golden Bears (17-6, 3-3 MPSF) with two goals each.
Griffin Lerman and Greg Enloe scored two goals apiece for the Anteaters (10-12, 1-6), who were playing their final home game of the season.
Lerman scored both of his goals in the first quarter as the teams were tied at 2-2 after one period.
Frank Reynolds (4:04) and Nasoff (1:06) scored the only goals in the second quarter to give Cal a 4-2 halftime lead.
The Bears' Ivan Rackov scored an extra-man goal with 6:58 left in the third for a 5-2 margin, followed by goals from Dudley (6:30) and Luka Saponjic (4:45), extending the lead to 7-2. UCI's Brandon Johnson notched his 59th goal of the season at 4:17 on a power play and Thomas Kruip followed with an extra-man goal of his own at the 1:45 mark to cut the deficit to 7-4 before Dudley scored with 15 seconds left in the third for an 8-4 lead.
UCI scored a pair of extra-man goals in the fourth quarter at the 5:13 and 1:00 marks for the final margin.
UCI goalie Matt Johnson had 11 saves while Jacob McIntosh had five for Cal.
XC takes 4th:
The No. 20 California men's cross country team finished fourth with 116 points Saturday at the NCAA Regional Championships, held at the Stanford Golf Course in Stanford, Calif. Senior Yosef Ghebray led the Golden Bears and finished in seventh overall. The Cal women finished seventh with 269 points.
Top-ranked Oregon won the men's 10K team crown with 38 points. Following the Ducks was No. 2 Stanford in second with 72 points. Portland finished third with 85 points, and Washington finished with 122 points to round out the top 5.
Ghebray paced the Bears, placing seventh at 28:53. The other top Cal runners were senior Mark Matusak and junior Michael Coe. Coe took 17th, touring the course in 29:34, while Matusak finished close behind in 18th at 29:37. Sophomore Kari Karlsson finished 30th with 29:57, senior Matt Miller finished 44th with a mark of 30:27, and sophomore Steve Sodaro finished 66th at 31:06 to round out the Cal lineup.
Galen Rupp and Shadrack Kiptoo-Bidwott from Oregon finished first and second, respectively, in 27:41 and 28:32.
For the women, top-ranked Washington won the women's 6K title with 25 points, while No. 2 Oregon was second with 62 points and No. 11 Stanford was third with 91 points.
Men's soccer beats Stanford!
BERKELEY - Jacob Wilson scored a second-half goal to give 10th-ranked California a 1-0 victory over Pac-10 Conference rival Stanford on Saturday afternoon at Edwards Stadium. The Golden Bears' record improved to 10-3-5 (5-2-3 Pac-10), while Stanford fell to 4-11-3 (2-6-2). Cal now awaits the announcement of the NCAA College Cup field on Monday.
Prior to the match, Cal honored its senior players who were playing in their final regular-season home game at Edwards Stadium. Cal's seniors are midfielder Michael Nieraeth, midfielder Pat Marion, defender Chris Deal, defender Tyler Barry and midfielder Ian Ebert. Four of the five, not including the injured Barry, started today.
"It was a great day for all five seniors to be able to come out and contribute to today's win," Cal head coach Kevin Grimes said. "Stanford is a very difficult opponent for any team, and today they proved why we have to have the best out of all of our players, including our seniors, in order to get the win. I think all our guys performed admirably. We're happy with today's performance, and we're just going to take it one day at a time from here on out."
The Bears and Cardinal battled to a 0-0 halftime score, with Cal outshooting Stanford, 6-3, in the first half. Cal also outshot Stanford 6-3 in the second half for a 12-6 overall advantage.
Men's Water Polo beats Long Beach State:
The No. 4 ranked Cal men's water polo team (16-6, 2-3), behind a goal from sophomore Brian Dudley in sudden death overtime, defeated No. 10 Long Beach State, 11-10, in a MPSF Conference men's collegiate water polo game in Long Beach on Saturday afternoon.
Long Beach State started things off with a floating lob goal, but the Bears quickly answered with a 6-on-5 goal. Half a minute later, the 49ers earned a 5-meter shot and were able to convert, to take a 2-1 lead. The Bears took control of the rest of the period, scoring two more goals, and the first period ended with a California 3-2 lead.
The 49ers started the second period off with two goals and held lead 4-3, until the Bears were able to tie the game again with 1:52 left in the half. With the game tied 4-4 the squads headed into halftime.
The third period went the way of Long Beach State as they scored the first three goals of the period to take a 7-4 lead. Cal scored the final goal of the period to trail 7-5 entering the fourth period. The 49ers seemed to be on a roll when Kevin vanHaaster scored first in the fourth period, but the momentum quickly shifted to the Bears, who found themselves trailing 8-5. With two California goals in a row, Long Beach State's lead was down to one. A 49er ejection with under a minute left to play put the Bears in a 6-on-5 advantage, and they took the opportunity, scoring with only 0:39 seconds left in the game.
Men's diver does very well:
SAN JOSE, Calif. - California sophomore diver Tom Henninger posted NCAA zone qualifying scores on both the one-meter and three-meter springboards at a competition on Friday at San Jose State. Henninger collected a score of 328.80 at one meter and 336.00 at three meters for the Golden Bears.
Cal freshmen Bobby Sullivan and Joe Quattrocchi also competed, with Sullivan taking second at one meter with a score of 285.00 and Quattrocchi placing second with a score of 308.25 at three meters.
V-Ball loses to Stanford:
BERKELEY - The No. 7-ranked California volleyball team (20-5, 10-4 Pac-10) fell in three sets (25-23, 25-16, 25-20) to No. 2 Stanford (22-3, 13-1 Pac-10) today at Haas Pavilion before a record crowd of 3,979 fans. The Golden Bears surrendered a .319 attack rate (46k, 10e, 113att) to the Cardinal, who assumes full control of the Pacific-10 conference race. Cal was led by junior middle hitter Mindi Wiley, who registered 10 kills (2e, 15att, .533) while Stanford senior outside hitter Cynthia Barboza attacked at a .419 rate as she logged 13 kills without an error on 31 attempts and took home a double-double by adding 18 digs on the night.
The Cardinal directed their attack to sophomore setter Carli Lloyd, who put up 10 digs with 32 assists to record her ninth double-double match of the season. The Bears were plagued by poor passing and managed just a .167 attack percentage with 41 kills (20e, 126att), their second lowest output of the season. Stanford stuffed the Cal offense by putting up 11.0 total team blocks. Junior libero Kristen Kathan led the Bears with 18 digs while senior outside hitter Am'ra Solomon (4e, 33att, .152) and junior outside hitter Hana Cutura (7e, 35att) each put up nine kills apiece. Stanford senior middle blocker Foluke Akinradewo upheld her Pac-10 player of week honors by posting 12 kills (1e, 18att, .611) while logging eight digs and six kills.
Womens soccer loses to Florida:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The California women's soccer team lost, 2-1, to No. 7 Florida in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday evening at UF's James G. Pressly Stadium. The Golden Bears outshot the Gators, 14-8, and earned seven corner kicks to Florida's three. Cal's only goal came from redshirt freshman forward Natasha Richardson in the fourth minute. With the loss, Cal drops to 10-9-1 overall while Florida now stands at 18-3-1.
"I have to give credit to Florida, and I wish them well in the rest of the tournament," Cal head coach Neil McGuire said. "This is not the first time this year that we've out cornered and outshot a team. I think we almost doubled Florida on those. We haven't had success in front of the goal and we've given up goals at critical moments."
Cal got on the board first with a goal from Richardson at 3:34. Richardson put it past Florida goalkeeper Katie Fraine after intercepting a Gator through ball. The score was Richardson's first as a Golden Bear and the shot was the Petaluma, Calif., native's ninth shot of the season. Cal had shot attempts in the sixth minute from redshirt sophomore forward Lisa Kevorkian and sophomore defender/midfielder Megan Jesolva, all of which were blocked by Florida defenders.
Some b-ball notes on the Pacific game:
A couple quick notes on Cal's 68-56 opening-night victory over Pacific:
– Coach Mike Montgomery said center Jordan Wilkes suffered only cramps, nothing more serious, when he had to come out of the game a couple times in the second half. Wilkes finished with six points and six rebounds and his understudy, redshirt freshman Max Zhang, contributed five points and three rebounds. In other words: Cal got 11 points, 9 rebounds from its center position. Not bad.
– Forward Harper Kamp did not practice at all in the nine days between the Bears' Nov. 6 exhibition against Seattle Pacific and Saturday's game, according to Montgomery. Kamp played 24 minutes against the Tigers, more than expected because starter Jamal Boykin got into early foul trouble. Kamp did not score, but had six rebounds.
Notes on Golden Bears not playing for Cal:
Meanwhile, Ryan Anderson scored an NBA career-high for the second straight night, notching 17 points as the New Jersey Nets beat the Atlanta Hawks again. The star of Cal's 2007-08 squad had 15 points Friday night against the Hawks.
So, go and check out a Big Game event. Root on the Bears all this week. It's been a rough few weeks. Let's get the ship righted again. GO BEARS!

For those of you who don't already know, a Nintendo Direct has been announced for tomorrow (https://twitter NULL.com/NintendoAmerica/status/433691999204827136). The broadcast will begin at 2 PM Pacific Time (5 PM Eastern Time) for North America—much later than their usual time slot of 7 AM PT/10 AM ET. North America's not the only one, of course—the broadcast for our friends in Europe (https://twitter NULL.com/NintendoUK/status/433692196790079490/photo/1) begins at 10 PM CET (9 PM UTC) in the United Kingdom. Could these later times mean bigger announcements are coming that they want everyone ready to absorb/cover?
Soraya Saga retweeted the Direct announcement in Japan (https://twitter NULL.com/sorayasaga), so I think so. Remember when it happened before? Twice? "X" news has always followed her nods toward the Direct without fail so far. That's more and more reason to get hyped for tomorrow evening, I suppose.
There's more where that came from. Next Level Games, the developer behind Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, has also teased tomorrow's Direct (https://twitter NULL.com/GameplayDev). Could we be seeing more from them tomorrow? Who knows what could happen? Even if tomorrow's Direct is filled with information we already know, I think we can expect a surprise twist or two.
oprainfall will be here, as always, to cover the Direct. What are you all hoping for? Any predictions to make right now? Be sure to let us know!
Don't forget—the NISA Press Event is tomorrow at 6 PM PT (9 PM ET), as well. We're going to be busy 'round here. Be sure to stick with us for the deluge of news coming your way tomorrow evening!

Commission Approves Initial IMS Upgrades
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Motorsports Commission approved preliminary plans by Hulman & Company to invest state funds on infrastructure upgrades at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, targeted at improvements that enhance the quality of motorsport events and the fan experience at the facility.
The commission approved a resolution to adopt the IMS improvement plan, including creation of a new Motorsports Investment District for IMS, a step toward issuing bonds to fund improvements at the facility.
"We're grateful for the support we've received from Hoosiers, the Indiana General Assembly and Governor Mike Pence to assist us with needed capital improvements," said Jeff Belskus, Hulman & Company president and chief administrative officer. "We have a plan for IMS that assures the best return for taxpayers and enhances our role as an economic engine for the state."
IMS has an annual economic impact of more than $500 million in Indiana, and the motorsports industry in Indiana supports more than 6,200 Indiana jobs that pay an average wage of $63,000, according to an Indiana University Public Policy Institute report released earlier this year.
The plan submitted to the IMC used these criteria to broadly identify the types of improvements to fund with bond proceeds over the next several years:
Focus on necessary track modifications, including:
- The addition of an apron in the four turns of the IMS oval to be used in NASCAR events, enhancing competition
- Repaving and reconfiguration of the IMS road course, a project completed in November 2013
- Refurbishing of catch fencing
Focus on the fan experience, including:
- Seating improvements to improve comfort, better grandstand access with more elevators and suite renovations
- New video screens and Scoring Pylon
- Modernized restroom facilities
- Increasing concession choices, expanding fan zones and providing more entertainment
- Need for improved access, traffic flow and parking
Focus on technology, including:
- Availability of wireless access throughout the facility
- State-of-the-art data, video and audio availability
Some components of the plan already have been implemented. Improvements to the IMS road course were pivotal to the creation of the Grand Prix of Indianapolis IndyCar Series race on May 8-10, 2014 and the retention of the Red Bull Indianapolis GP MotoGP World Championship race Aug. 8-10, 2014 – two events with significant economic impact for Indiana.
"We'll complete our master plan next spring, but the first upgrades, which complement our new Month of May, are already underway," Belskus said. "We just completed paving the newly modified road course that will host the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis on May 10 and be used by MotoGP competitors in August. Our fans also will see a new Scoring Pylon and new video screens next spring. And that's just the beginning."
Additional plans for IMS development and enhancement beyond the funding managed by the Indiana Motorsports Commission also will be included in the master plan to be released in spring 2014.
"We started with ideas for improvements that totaled hundreds of millions of dollars, and we've reduced our list to a list of potential projects with total spending of about $140 million," Belskus said. "Now we have some difficult decisions ahead to pare the list further before we ask the commission for its approval."
The plan does not include installing lights on the famed, 2.5-mile IMS oval for night races. Economic studies showed this $20-million investment did not provide the best return for taxpayers.
Instead, capital improvements in fan experience and track modifications will make IMS a more attractive venue with higher quality racing events. IMS will continue to put a top priority on investments that grow ticket sales and protect revenue from existing events.
"Improving the quality of racing will grow ticket sales," Belskus said. "For example, adding an apron to the track would improve the passing opportunities during the Kroger Super Weekend at the Brickyard."
The apron only will be used for NASCAR racing and will cost less than $1 million. The estimated cost for lights is $20 million.
Speedway officials, working with a planning team led by Michael Browning, of Browning Investments, and including such partners as CSO Architects, Shrewsberry & Associates, Browning Day Mullins Dierdorff and Populous, are working on a master planning process and have identified nearly $140 million in potential capital improvements.
The bond issue authorized by House Enrolled Act 1544 and signed into law earlier this year will generate about $90 million to fund improvements at IMS. The bonds will be repaid through credits equal to incremental state sales and income taxes from the Motorsports Investment District and proceeds from a new admissions tax. IMS also will fund at least $2 million annually toward lease payments and debt service.

3.48/5 rDev -0.9%
Appearance Amber? This beer is dark brownish-orange and cloudy. It looks more like a pale ale with a giant malt balance. It looks good, just not very amber. The head came up moderately.
Smell Big, toasty, sugary malts dominate this nose. I can also pick up some leafy characteristics, but its mostly brown sugar and liquid malt.
Taste I get a bit more of the leafy flavors at the taste. The malts and sugars are huge though.
Mouthfeel Medium-bodied with some noticeable leafy bitterness throughout.
Drinkability This is a good beer, just not an amber ale. It tasted more like a Scotch Ale, really.

4.35/5 rDev +23.9%
This was available on-tap and in 22 oz bombers.
Appearance: clear dark copper color with a 1" head that stays in place for a while. Thick lacing forms on the glass.
Smell: caramel candy and brown sugar.
Taste: caramel, lite bread texture, ripe red fruits, brown sugar sweetness, and a decent bitterness create a nicely balanced beer.
Mouthfeel: crisp at the start and finish. Medium bodied. The finish has some of the sweetness lingering on the tongue for while.
Drinkability: doesn't get any better than this. A solid amber that is tasty, not overly malty, and is what I define a session beer to be. Great beer here.

3.41/5 rDev -2.8%
Handsome coppery amber in the Ciney tulip with a renewing veil of foam. Sprightly on the tongue. Slight aromas of light grain.
They call this a Stock Ale. Interesting woody and musty sort of taste. Fruity English hop flavor. Something like brandied walnuts with a hint of pecans and some nutshell bitterness. Rather malty and a little sweet with caramel taste, but the bitterness creeps boldly into the mid-taste and stays to the end. How about bitter cookie dough?
This is not one of my favorites from Big Time, which makes plenty of decent brews. If it was less strong and more of a quaffable English style, it would be more useful. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at the brewpub in Seattle.

3.9/5 rDev +11.1%
Had a pint of this on tap at the Alehouse.
Appearance: hazy amber red hue with a finger of frothy ivory foam. Quite decent.
Smell: nice crystal malt aroma with some citrusy hops. Decent but rather mild and not very complex.
Taste: nutty and malty, rich with crystal malt character. Basic, but well crafted and quite tasty.
Mouthfeel: medium light body with a solid carbonation and a good creaminess for the style. I like it.
Overall: not exactly perfect but an eminently drinkable amber that I like more than most American ambers.

A deep garnet ale with a retained beige head and silken, cask-conditioned texture. The light malt-fruit flavor is restrained, though what's there works well, especially towards the finish where a nice play of spiced hop flavor emerges. A modest, yet agreeable ale with a light touch of caramel.

VIDEO REPORT: Smaller homes only available for one per cent of 'bedroom tax' victims
It's been revealed that thousands of tenants in the south-east are being forced to pay the so-called 'bedroom tax' - and yet it's virtually impossible for them to move into smaller homes.
A Freedom of Information request has revealed an extreme scarcity of one-bedroom social housing across the region.
It means that in Medway, for example, smaller homes are available for only one per cent of people paying the penalty for having a spare room. In Thurrock, the situation is little better. John Ryall reports.

If you have decided that you want to partake in the exhilarating sport of wakeboarding, obviously you will need to pick up some equipment. It could be a bit discouraging to see the large number of manufacturers out there today that offer wakeboards.

Wakeboarding does require some skill and if you are on a poorly designed board or the wrong wakeboard all together, your performance will suffer and you will not have that much fun. Liquid Force wakeboards come in a wide variety of sizes, styles and types ranging from boards for beginners which are wide, short and stable to high advanced boards for pro wakeboarders which require a lot of skill to use.
The same holds true for CWB wakeboards. Wave riders who are crazy about wakeboarding choose CWB wakeboards due to the superior performance these boards offer. Novice wakeboarders often choose CWB wakeboards because CWB Boards offers some top choices in beginner's boards which helps novices to quickly learn to balance so that they can gradually improve their riding.

Mischa Barton walked the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of her new flick, 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark,' held at the Landmark Theater in California yesterday.
The actress, who has had a range of fashion highs and lows, didn't dress to impress as much as I would have preferred this time out. She wore a rather tight, fit-and-flair Erdem black skirt in the label's signature garden-floral print, paired with a too-sheer black tank top and nondescript black peep-toe heels.
Casual, barely-styled tresses and rosy-nude makeup tones didn't add much punch either.
Was this statement lacking star power, in your opinion?

- Did you think that we were done this week because it was "game day"? Heck no we're not done. We'll have this post chock full of links, then later this morning, an exclusive Q&A with myself and SARR . . . AND an exclusive Q&A with the SFA bell ringer. You can thank SARR the last bit. This is why VTM is the best. Make sure and check back multiple times today. I should also mention that SARR will be manning the VTM twitter handle for tonight's game.
- This is, of course, for recreational purposes only, but OddsShark, which compiles quite a bit of information on the various betting sites, notes that the line opened up with TCU favored by 6 and now that number is down to 3 at some of the sports books.
- The LAJ has a ton of stuff as well, so make sure and check it out. I'll give you the highlights. The LAJ has a bit about Texas Tech's home field advantage, or lack thereof the past three years, and DT Jackson Richards talks about the fans:
"I hope they get as rowdy as possible," Richards said. "That's what we're known for in Lubbock is the rowdy crowd, so I hope they don't hold anything back. I want to see as many painted faces as I can see. That's pretty fun."
The LAJ also has a bit about the special teams and Trey Haverty knows things aren't great:
"It's all right," Haverty said of the coverage aspect. "We haven't had anything that's hurt us big-time yet, but there's things we have to get fixed, stuff we see on film that not everybody sees. There's definitely a lot of room for improvement."
- The DMN's Chuck Carlton writes about how Texas Tech fans are anxious to see how their team does against TCU. The DMN also has a prediction post.
- FWST has a Q&A with LAJ's Don Williams and they also have an article on QB Trevone Boykin returning to quarterback.
- Our friends at the DT preview tonight's game and DT Kerry Hyder discuss knows that both teams are ready:
"Those guys at TCU, I'm sure they're getting ready too, but you've got to be mentally focused and get your mind right for this game because it's two days earlier than usual," he said. "But you also have to get in the cold tub and get your body right for this game."

I love seeing my younger kids get a chance to be the big kids. Jonathan even had an "opportunity" to practice his diaper changing skilz.
Both boys got a ton of attention.
On Saturday Becca went to a friend's wedding and we took the boys to Tilden Park in Berkeley.
They rode the carousel.
Drew didn't like it.
Wes did.We took a little break and let them play in the grass, er dirt? Well, we tried to convince them of the pleasures of grass but they kept heading for the dirt.
Admit it! I have the cutest nephews in the world (insert evil laugh)! I wish I was a better photographer though.
Then we went to the "Little Farm," where they have BIG cows to feed.
Wes slept through most of the farm visit,
but Drew was a pro at feeding the animals by the time we left.
Yes, he fed the heck out of those sheep!
Then we were done.
Except the part where Marc and I took copious amounts of photos of the farm and the terracing saying to ourselves, "We should totally do this in our backyard," because, sure, we know how to farm and keep livestock and whatnot. How hard can it be anyway? We'll get a book. Farming for Dummies."
Do you think we could make our two acres of weeds look like that? Dream.

Relief Society Newsletter: (JPG Picture Files)
- Each week the Relief Society Newsletter is a bit different as past events/birthdays/lessons are removed and new ones are added.
- When I have a lot of announcements, thanks you's, and sympathy notes then I use less graphics, but when I have more room I add more pictures and quotes to fill up any dead space.
- I print the newsletter in black and white, and then copy it onto colored paper, since we make a lot of copies each week.
- Enough copies of the Relief Society Newsletter are included with the roll for each sister in Young Women and Primary, this is a great way to keep them notified of what's happening in Relief Society and to not feel so left out.

Internet Privacy Laws determine how your online information is protected
The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) has received a lot of attention due to Internet pioneer (Reddit, co-founder) and activist Aaron Swartz's suicide earlier this year. Aaron was found guilty to allegations that he stole millions of scholarly articles and documents from a subscription-based service at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Swartz said his intentions were to make the information freely available but under CFAA was subjected to a 35-year jail sentence and a $1 million fine.
There has been much debate around the way the case was handled. The prosecutor's office has been under a microscope since a complaint was filed from Aaron's lawyers. According to an Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) article, "We hope that the Department of Justice stops its knee-jerk defense of the prosecutors here and instead takes a hard look at what happened in response to the Complaint and takes the necessary steps for internal reform. Clearly, this has also resonated with the American public, as two White House petitions criticizing the prosecution have garnered over 100,000 signatures."
Law reform seekers have started referring to the CFAA as "Aaron's Law" and believe that the law is too restrictive in banning information sharing. The CFAA makes it a federal crime to access protected information or a protected computer and plays an important role in helping deter computer crime, however many feel a reform is crucial. Organizations like the EFF have been trying for years to get reforms made to CFAA. Specifically reforms to the penalty provisions.
To read about how the EFF would fix the CFAA and/or to get involved and tell Congress now is the time, visit Computer Fraud and Abuse Act Reform.

Well, the Canucks season couldn't have ended any worse than that. A questionable penalty call in overtime on Daniel Sedin resulted in Patrick Marleau's game-winner and a series sweep for San Jose.
The way the extra frame was playing out, this game very well could have gone to double-overtime. Instead, Daniel Sedin was called for boarding when he shouldered Tommy Wingels into the boards awkwardly while trying to battle for the puck.
At any rate, that gave the Sharks a grand opportunity to win the game. And they did just that.
Just like that, the Sharks bec-oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt the celebration.
Anyways, the Sharks swept the Canucks and became the first team to advance to the conference semifinals.
Now celebrate your little hearts out.
Can Roberto Luongo play as well as he did as a backup in Game 3?
He got to watch the game from the bench. Cory Schneider started Game 4 and played spectacularly overall. He faced 47 shots and stopped all but four of them. Unfortunately the final goal was entirely his fault.
Will Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski keep leading the Sharks offensively?
Pavelski and Couture played just as effectively as they have all series. Pavelski scored twice and Couture notched two assists. But it was oft-maligned Patrick Marleau that sent San Jose to the next round.
Is Antii Niemi going to keep playing this well?
He wasn't perfect, but he came up huge when his team needed it. Niemi gave up three goals on 35 shots.
