ODU Alum Anna Tunnicliffe Wins U.S. Olympic Sailing Team Qualifying Regatta
Former ODU All-American and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Anna Tunnicliffe '05 is heading back to the Olympics to defend her title at the 2012 London Summer Games after her team won the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team Qualifying Regatta May 7 at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy in the United Kingdom.
In a thrilling conclusion to four days of women's match racing, Tunnicliffe (Plantation, Fla.) and her Team Maclaren crew of Molly Vandemoer and fellow ODU alumna Debbie Capozzi '07 (Bayport, N.Y.) won the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Qualifying Regatta by defeating another ODU alumna, Sally Barkow '02 (Nashotah, Wis.) and her Team 7 Match Race crew.
Tunnicliffe defeated Barkow in the "first-to-six-wins" final match-up. With the win, Tunnicliffe, Vandemoer and Capozzi were selected for the 2012 US Olympic Team - Sailing, pending confirmation from the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Capozzi is a 2008 Olympian who sailed in the Women's Keelboat (Yngling) with Barkow.

Former law lord questions McKinnon ruling
Lord Lloyd of Berwick, a crossbench peer and former law lord, has questioned the Government's decision to intervene in the Gary McKinnon case.
He said:
If a suspect can be prosecuted in two or more countries the essential question is where he can best be prosecuted. That is where he is most likely to be convicted if guilty.
In almost every case that would depend on where the bulk of the evidence would be. That is a question best decided by the prosecuting authorities in the two countries involved and not by Parliament.

Attorney says he'll seek to declare accused hospital shooter Moretz incompetent for trial
COLLIER COUNTY - The lawyer for Jeffery Moretz, accused of shooting and killing his estranged wife in July, said Monday he likely will file a motion to declare his client incompetent to stand trial.
Defense lawyer Jerry Berry said he will "probably" file the motion before the end of the year. Jail staff members have indicated there are competency issues for Moretz, who is charged with second-degree murder, Berry said.
Moretz, 54, is accused of shooting his wife, Christine, 53, as she visited a friend at Physicians Regional — Pine Ridge. The couple had filed for divorce about three weeks before the shooting.
"There's psychiatric issues that need to be explored," Berry said during a case management conference Monday before Collier Circuit Judge Fred Hardt.
Moretz didn't speak during the hearing but walked into the courtroom, looking clean shaven. In past court appearances, he was in a wheelchair.
Sheriff's deputies said Moretz shot himself in the chin in a failed suicide attempt immediately after killing his estranged wife. He had a tracheotomy following the shooting.
"He's in remarkably good condition considering the circumstances," Berry said after the hearing.
Berry said he expects to file the motion but remained cryptic about the underlying issues.
"There's another level to all of this," Berry said.
Both sides agreed that a trial date is far off. No depositions have been completed, and they likely will be delayed until competency is determined. Another case management conference has been set for Jan. 3.
"We're a long way away from being ready for trial or a resolution in this case," Berry said.
Investigators have linked Christine Moretz to Christopher Serna, the North Naples man accused of killing and mutilating Suzanne Bishop three weeks after the hospital shooting.
Christine Moretz and Christopher Serna began an intimate relationship, those interviewed by police said. Family members and co-workers of Christine Moretz have previously said Jeffery Moretz became angry about the divorce and that he once confronted Serna about their relationship.

Redshirting freshmen – having them sit their first year in exchange for a fifth-year of eligibility – is often considered a sign of a healthy program. After all, you are in effect trading a player's worst season for their best one.
However, if no true freshmen play than a school probably isn't recruiting enough high-impact guys. What's the point of redshirting a guy who is going to head to the NFL before his fifth season?
Still, you'd rather redshirt more players than not, giving young guys a year in the weight room and to adjust to college life.
In Mike Leach's first season at Washington State the Cougars played nine true freshmen, and won three games. Last season they played just five first-year players and won six.
We won't know for sure how many freshmen will play this season until its conclusion, but let's take a look at the most likely candidates after the jump.
Is there anything worse than your Pop Tart breaking and half of it falling on the floor? Yes, there is. Read on.
College football may start in Cheney, but your Eastern links begin here. To start, here is my story on EWU practice, plus a preview from the EWU athletic site. … Gee, Sam Houston State has a preview as well, along with a retrospective on their 2004 playoff win over the Eagles. … A UW defensive end is grateful for a second chance to play, while the Husky safeties are still locked in competition for the two starting spots. … Montana State has settled on a starting quarterback.
Destiny Vaeao, Toni Pole and Xavier Cooper probably won't play as much for Washington State this season, and that's a good thing. Why it's a good thing is the subject for our story in today's paper.
More links after the jump.
*We'll be holding our weekly live WSU football chat today at 11 a.m.
"Intense and sloppy … kind of an exchange of big plays," were the words coach Mike Leach used to describe today's underclassmen scrimmage, which they're still calling Thursday Night Football.
He was absolutely right.
We'll describe those big plays and more, after the jump.

With the above tweet the Washington State football program made official the financial aid agreement signed today by prep quarterback Tyler Hilinski. The NCAA allows student athletes that are able to graduate high school early to sign with schools well before national signing day in February, and to enroll in time for spring football.
Last spring Calvin Green and Sean Krepsz took advantage of this rule and participated in spring football after finishing up their high school careers ahead of schedule.
More on Hilinski after the jump.
Want to see what Seattle's professional basketball future could have looked like? Just watch Steve Ballmer's introduction to the Los Angeles Clippers fans yesterday. Read on.
How experienced is Washington State's linebacking corps? Even the backups have starts under their belt. The Cougars' deep linebacking corps is the subject of our story in today's paper.
More links after the jump.
Most people around these parts had a better night than the Spokane Indians. Yes, the Indians pounded out 17 hits and scored 12 runs against the Tri-City Dust Devils on Monday night. But the Dust Devils played their blackjack hand by collecting 19 hits and scoring 21 runs in a Northwest League game that played havoc with pitchers' earned-run averages. Read story
Washington State's coaches agreed that yesterday's practice left a lot to be desired. They were similarly unanimous (among the ones we asked) that today's was a lot crisper.
Our practice report is after the jump.
The WCC released its 2014-15 schedule — yes, GU plays conference games in late December again — and it looks nothing like last year's slate. The Zags open with three straight road games, including a WCC lid-lifter at BYU, followed by dates with San Diego and Portland. GU plays five of its first seven on the road.
Last year, Gonzaga opened the WCC with four consecutive home games.
BYU is picked second behind Gonzaga in most preseason polls (I'm picking Saint Mary's at No. 2). San Diego and Portland are contenders to finish in the top five. The Zags' home opener will be against USF, which shared second place with BYU last season, on Jan. 8. Gonzaga takes on Saint Mary's on Jan. 22 in Spokane and visits Moraga on Feb. 21.
The Bulldogs close the WCC schedule against BYU at the McCarthey Athletic Center on Feb. 28.
GU's non-conference and television schedule will be released at a later date.
More on Gonzaga's WCC schedule here and here's a link to the entire WCC schedule.
It's Monday. The workweek begins. But there is hope. After it ends Friday, there is college football Saturday. Read on.
The dorms in Pullman are open again and students are trickling back onto campus. School doesn't start for another week at Washington State but the football team's young defensive backs are studying hard for their first big test. That's the subject of our third WSU position preview.
Follow the jump for more links.
The Spokane Indians had little trouble against the Tri-City Dust Devils during the first half of the Northwest League season. The Indians outscored Tri-City 49-17 in winning five of six games. But the second half of the season has a different feel, as the North Division first-half champion Indians are discovering. Tri-City routed Spokane 7-0 on Sunday, outhitting the Indians 16-6. The Dust Devils are 3-2 against the Indians during the last five days and are tied with Vancouver for the division's second-half lead with 14 games left in the regular season. Spokane leads the season series 7-4 heading in to Monday's regular-season finale between the teams at Avista Stadium. It may be the end of regular-season play between Spokane and Tri-City, but the Dust Devils have put themselves in position to win the second half and set up a Sept. 2 divisional playoff opener in Pasco. Read story
There was a lot going on at practice today. The Pac-12 Networks were in town filming and Rick Neuheisel took a keen interest in what the Cougars were doing, observing the drills closely, particularly the ones involving quarterbacks.
The Cougars also made use of the scout teams against the first string for the first time, which always creates some confusion. After practice coach Mike Leach had a bucket of water dumped on him for a good cause, which you can watch here.
The coaches acknowledged that there are always a few dud practices at this time of the year. But that doesn't mean they're happy about it.
"I didn't think it was a very good practice. I thought we started out pretty good, didn't do a good job of finishing practice," Leacj said. "Today was the first day we traded scouts so sometimes, a lot of times that has an impact. It shouldn't, it shouldn't but yeah I thought both sides were soft in the team period. Prior to that I thought we were doing some good things but we have to be better than that tomorrow."
More after the jump.
After practice Mike Leach cooled off before speaking to reporters by taking part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The video is below and the highlights of Leach's interview with reporters are transcribed after the jump.
You know what yesterday was, don't you? Yep, the final Saturday of 2014 without a college football game. Really. Read on.
Good morning, everyone. I hope you were able to sleep in today or had an otherwise productive morning. If not you can make up for it by reading our Pac-12 links and catching up on all the conference happenings, after the jump.
Several years ago the Spokane Indians' scorekeeper, an affable man with a wry sense of humor, announced that he had one big wish in his job: to witness a 1-0 Northwest League game. He never got his wish, but maybe he noticed what happened the last two nights between the Indians and Tri-City Dust Devils. Tri-City blanked Spokane 1-0 on Friday and the Indians turned the tables Saturday with a 1-0 shutout at Avista Stadium. Read story

The SSD Anthology: Understanding SSDs and New Drives from OCZby Anand Lal Shimpi on March 18, 2009 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- Storage
The Anatomy of an SSD
Let's meet Mr. N-channel MOSFET again:
Say Hello
This is the building block of NAND-flash; one transistor is required per cell. A single NAND-flash cell can either store one or two bits of data. If it stores one, then it's called a Single Level Cell (SLC) flash and if it stores two then it's a Multi Level Cell (MLC) flash. Both are physically made the same way; in fact there's nothing that separates MLC from SLC flash, it's just a matter of how the data is stored in and read from the cell.
SLC flash (left) vs. MLC flash (right)
Flash is read from and written to in a guess-and-test fashion. You apply a voltage to the cell and check to see how it responds. You keep increasing the voltage until you get a result.
|SLC NAND flash
|MLC NAND flash
|Random Read
|25 µs
|50 µs
|2ms per block
|2ms per block
|250 µs
|900 µs
With four voltage levels to check, MLC flash takes around 3x longer to write to as SLC. On the flip side you get twice the capacity at the same cost. Because of this distinction, and the fact that even MLC flash is more than fast enough for a SSD, you'll only see MLC used for desktop SSDs while SLC is used for enterprise level server SSDs.
Cells are strung together in arrays as depicted in the image to the right
So a single cell stores either one or two bits of data, but where do we go from there? Groups of cells are organized into pages, the smallest structure that's readable/writable in a SSD. Today 4KB pages are standard on SSDs.
Pages are grouped together into blocks; today it's common to have 128 pages in a block (512KB in a block). A block is the smallest structure that can be erased in a NAND-flash device. So while you can read from and write to a page, you can only erase a block (128 pages at a time). This is where many of the SSD's problems stem from, I'll repeat this again later because it's one of the most important parts of understanding SSDs.
Arrays of cells are grouped into a page, arrays of pages are grouped into blocks
Blocks are then grouped into planes, and you'll find multiple planes on a single NAND-flash die.
The combining doesn't stop there; you can usually find either one, two or four die per package. While you'll see a single NAND-flash IC, there may actually be two or four die in that package. You can also stack multiple ICs on top of each other to minimize board real estate usage.

bsoft16384 - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - linkYou know, the JMicron SSDs really aren't so bad. Yes, you'd have to be crazy to spend $400 on one when there are better options like the X25-M (or the new Vertex series for that matter).
But I paid $65 for my 30GiB OCZ "Core" SSD. Yeah, random writes are piss slow. I knew this. The drive replaced the 5400.5 that came with my EEE PC.
I'm not going to be doing any 'extensive multitasking' on my EEE. I'm not running a file server, I certainly don't have antivirus in the background, and I don't spend all day installing new apps.
I'm running 7. Compared with the 5400.5, the system boots faster, Chrome loads faster, but Windows updates take longer. That's a trade-off I'm willing to deal with, considering that I get less noise and more battery life in return.
I can tell you this - the JMicron SSDs beat the pants off of the PCIe MLC SSDs that ship with many netbooks.
So, yeah, I guess this is a product that's "unfit for market". But it's perfect for some of us. If I wanted a boot drive for a Linux media/backup server (along with HDDs for storage), I could see choosing a $50 SSD over a $50 HDD.
It's all about your needs. No one is pretending that JMicron SSDs are fast, at least not at writing. But if your usage is mostly read-centric (or "nothing-centric", as is frequently the case on netbooks), and your chief criteria are low power and low price, the JMicron SSDs do quite well. Reply
petersterncan - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - linkAnand,
That was an awesome article... and good for you to give OCZ to do the right thing... and they did!
Kudos also to OCZ for actually listening to feedback and doing something about it.
Adul - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - linkGood work Anand :) Reply
SSDMaster - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - linkThe stuttering problem with SSD's can be fixed with diskpart. Go do some research before you post an article this massive and convoluted. Reply
goinginstyle - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - linkNo it does not, it will help if the partition is properly aligned but it is not a cure, neither is the rest of the voodoo magic being spouted on the OCZ forums. They help, but do not cure the stuttering problem with the JMicron based drives. I just love the fact that OCZ wants to sell you a drive (Core series) that does not work properly, have you purchase third party software, and then hack the OS in order to improve the performance of the product. Glad to see it fixed with the Vertex and Summit drives though, but it will take a long time before I even think about using an OCZ product again. I was hoping to see the new ADATA and SuperTalent drives in this article, maybe those are coming in the next segment he mentioned. Reply
SSDMaster - Friday, March 20, 2009 - linkYes, it does.
I have a Core series 60GB OCZ drive. I bought it right before Newegg increased the price on the drives. The stuttering was horrible, and worthless even as a secondary drive if it was formatted with XP. Also, after using Diskpart and aligning the drive I could not install XP on the drive and have it bootable.. Which sucked.
But there's ways around that, and guess what, I have a stutter free flash drive for cheap that gets very good performance numbers, and boots Server 2008 in under 10 seconds. Reply
bsoft16384 - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - linkOCZ's product works fine. You may not like the performance, but it's certainly not unusable.
The $65 I paid for my 30GiB OCZ "Solid" SSD is about what you'd pay for a USB flash drive. The disk I have has a USB interface, which is very convenient, plus it's plenty fast enough for my EEE PC.
I'm glad that Anand has done these reviews. People need to understand what they're getting into when they by a JMicron SSD. If you don't expect much, you won't be disappointed.
Arguably for a normal notebook/desktop you should buy a normal hard drive if your budget is under $100. But the JMicron SSDs do a good job in netbooks (which, again, aren't too fast to begin with) at a very low price.
I have aligned my partitions and disabled swap on my Windows 7 install (on my EEE). I also have 2GB of memory in my EEE. I haven't done any fancy tweaking on the OS.
Compared with the EEE 900A that I had briefly (PCIe SSD), my EEE 900HA is dramatically faster. You can't run XP or Vista on PCIe SSDs unless you have a lot of patience. You *can* run it on a JMicron SSD.
I honestly don't notice any stuttering. I don't run antivirus and I don't multitask much on this machine. If I demanded from my EEE what I demand from my desktop (Q9300 + 8GB + WD6400AAKS), I know that the SSD would choke up. But I'm not going to do that on a 1.6GHz single-core Atom anyway.
So, yeah, OK. I guess I think that trashing JMicron SSDs is a little like trashing USB flash drives for being slow. Paying $300 for a UFD would be stupid, as is paying $300 for a JMicron SSD. But in the sub-$100 category, you don't expect much.
When better SSDs drop below $100, maybe I'll upgrade. Until then, I'm enjoying 5 hours of battery life on my 900HA. Reply
tomoyo - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - linkWell I think it's unusable for my needs if I'm running it as an operating system drive. I place a giant important on the latency of the drive at that point and it certainly includes random writes. Which is why I would never ever buy an ssd that's majorly below the Intel write performance. It's not worth the price premium or loss of storage size compared to the standard hard drive. Reply
Bikerskummm - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - linkFantastic article Anand!
Just a few thoughts:
I have had some trouble replicating some of the Samsung SLC results...
Despite filling the drive up and emulating a well used drive as described in the article I cannot get my Sammy drive's performance to degrade as much as you managed to especially regarding random write performance...
Now my system used for testing is a socket 775 (qx9650) and I was testing on ICH9R and WINXP (SP3) but still I would expect to see similar figures ...
I do not have an X58 system to test on at the moment but I would be very interested if The Sammy SLC drives were shown to degrade faster / perform worse with a X58 / ICH10R / Vista x64 (SP1?) setup...
siberx - Thursday, March 19, 2009 - linkThis is, very likely, the best article I have ever read, period. Online, in magazines, about any subject... this was an absolutely fantastic read. Suddenly, all smoke surrounding SSDs has cleared and the truth shines through in editorial brilliance. It's great to see that at least some computer news sites out there can still cut through the crap and get to the heart of the issue. My already high opinion of AnandTech has risen even further.
Thank you for taking the immense time it must have taken to compile and assemble all this information - this article is now a must-read for *anybody* considering purchasing an SSD, and it's just about all the background you could need in one place.
In addition to all the extremely useful general SSD information contained within, the detailing of the issues with the JMicron controllers as well as OCZ's efforts to address the concerns to produce the best product possible (despite the reduced marketability to the uninformed) is reassuring and comforting in a world where tech companies seem more concerned with how much they can deceive their customers instead of producing quality products.
In short, the article is a win on all fronts, thank you greatly for posting it. When I purchase my first SSD (which I'm considering doing reasonably soon) this article, its information and suggestions, and OCZs actions to resolve the issues with its drives will definitely be at the forefront of my mind.

What to Consider in Buying Cookware
Are you looking for castamel cookware? You probably have seen once and get enthusiastic for having a set. It is a brand of cookware made in Spain. You may want to go there for shopping the cookware. But it seems a bad idea too because you surely never want to load cooking utensils in your baggage. Why do not you look for online and find the local retailer that offers this cookware brand?
Choosing which cookware items to invest in is not easy. It is regardless whether you are an existing or new couple. There is always possibility to get confused with many options available. It gets tougher too when the budget is tight. In fact, you always know what you need because the chosen cookware is aimed to be the long lasting investment in the kitchen. There is no exception when you directly choose to look for castamel cookware. Just make sure you consider the following things:
Heat conducitivty
There are many materials used to make cookware. Some are metals which perform better as heat conductors than others. The food will be able to be cooked evenly too. The most favorite and recommendation option for this factor is copper. It is a good heat conductor and has quick reaction to temperature change.
Maintenance always becomes essential matter to pay attention to. Though some materials are trusted for the durability, you should consider how to maintain them too.
Some metals have unexpected reactions to foods. Therefore, you must put much care on what item to choose.
The better quality of cookware you buy, the more money you spend. It is very logical fact to accept. Always pick up options you afford to buy.
There is no need to go to Spain for shopping castamel cookware. You can go online and visit sites where this branded cooking utensils available at special deals.

Camden County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) deputies and officers from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and the Kingsland Police Department (KPD) executed a search warrant at approximately 7:30 this morning at 110 Cottonwood Grove in Kingsland where the believed an active methamphetamine manufacturing lab was operating. Inside they found and arrested Emily Marie Rankin, 22, Rhonda Rene Catoe, 54, and Joey Allen Pierantonis, 34. All three suspects are charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine and sale of methamphetamine. Additional charges are pending.
The lab was located in a subdivision off Wildcat Drive near Camden County High School. Investigators will determine if the lab was operating within 1,000 ft. of the school. If so, the three suspects will also be charged for that violation.
The arrests highlight the growing problem of meth labs in our communities and is the second lab to be shut down this month. Members of the CCSO Drug Task Force were recently certified in identifying and clearing the hazardous labs.

Patrick Padilla doesn't have to travel far to find the vegetables he sells at the stand alongside Patuxent Road in Odenton.
He can just turn around and pick them from the field behind him.
Padilla has been operating Home Grown Produce for most of the summer, offering locally grown vegetables, including corn, cucumbers, peppers, plus a big crop of tomatoes and herbs.
Soon, he'll be selling pumpkins, squash and some other fall goods.
"It's been going really good," Padilla said. "Every day we're getting more people to slow down and stop in. The word is getting out, and a lot of our customers are happy about what we have."
The farm is owned by Robert Pumphrey, the uncle of Padilla's girlfriend. The farm once sold vegetables under a previous owner, and Pumprhrey decided to bring back the practice. He put Padilla to work farming 27 of the 33 acres.
At first, the pair began selling vegetables from a table, trusting customers to pay using the honor system. While sales were good, it also made them susceptible to theft. They build a full stand and Padilla has manned it every day since.
"After the first month, we were like 'woah, we're on to something," Padilla said.
Home Grown Produce is located at 1248 Patuxent Road. It is open everyday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., but could close earlier as the days become shorter. It will close on Nov. 4 and re-open in June.
Yoy can follow Home Grown Produce on Facebook.

[Note by Matt Watson, 11/16/10 5:03 PM EST: I almost deleted this post and sent a private note, but I'll just say it here: this is a worthless FanPost. The die-hards are all here, unlike some people who hurl insults and check back two weeks later to see what's up. If you have something intelligent to say, join any of the conversations happening daily on this site, don't create a FanPost with generic observations and complaints. Not only is it boring, it makes everyone else dumber for reading it. Consider this strike two.]
Just checking to see how many of the die-hards are still hanging around.I realize it's not fun following a losing team,that will probably suffer though it's worst season in 30+ years,but i still like to watch the progress of guys.I'm starting to notice the younger guys getting frustrated on the bench.Wondering why they play 4 minutes a night.When the guy starting in front of him is going 3-14 from the floor with 3 rebounds in 37 minutes.Night after night.Detroit needs to play the youngsters,get some chemistry,and see if these guys can gel into a decent team.Yes i know we have too many SG/SF and could use an offensive Center,Monroe could get 12 pts ,7 rbs and 3 ast a night .(and actually make some free-throws.) Sad when u lose by 3 pts and you hit 14 of 26 free throws.
What sucks the most is Pistons will have a top 3 pick (if the ball bounces right-yeah right it's all fixed anyways-why does the guy hide behind a curtain to draw the balls?) Next years draft will be one of the weakest drafts in years.So getting a John Wall,LeBron or a ShaQ won't happen.
Thx for the A.Iverson for Billups trade Joe D. you ruined a great franchise over night

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Georgia baseball coach David Perno has resigned after a 12-year tenure that included three trips to the College World Series but fell on hard times in recent seasons.
The resignation was announced Monday by athletic director Greg McGarity, who praised Perno for his long contribution to the school as a player, assistant coach, and head coach.
Under Perno, Georgia won two Southeastern Conference titles, made six appearances in the NCAA Regionals, and advanced to the College World Series in 2004, 2006 and 2008. But the Bulldogs had losing SEC records 3 of the last four years, including a last-place finish (7-20) this season.
Overall, Perno had a record of 390-335-1.

Economy Shrank in 4q, Govt. Says
...three year growth streak ends
The U.S. economy shrank 0.1% in the 4q of 2012, the government says, a major surprise to economists who were expecting growth of 1.0%. Although GDP figures will be revised two more times in coming months, for now it looks like the economy's growth streak that began in the summer of 2009 has come to an end.
What happened? Why did the economy shrink? Big declines in government spending, which fell 15.0%, on an annualzed basis. Defense cuts weighed particularly heavily. Also contributing to the slowdown: companies spent less on inventory - after a big buildup in 3q. (WWR mentioned this 3 months ago).
As a driver of ecomomic activity, government spending plays a big role; but coming spending cuts - the so-called "sequester" could, experts fear, push the economy into recession. So could a decline in consumer spending - two-thirds of economic activity - which could occur now that a two-year payroll tax cut of 2% has expired. A recession is officially considered to occur when the economy shows negative growth for two quarters in a row. It appears we're halfway there.

Nikon D800 Video
Check out this short film by Sandro, shot entirely on the D800.
Joy Ride from Sandro on Vimeo.
On the topic of the D800, I'm wondering what the Nikon shooters here think of it. Personally, I think that an affordable-ish landscape/studio camera from Nikon was long overdue. What do you guys think though? Would you have preferred something D4-esque, or are you happy that there is finally something that might push the resolution limits of the 14-24 2.8G?

|Proposal to amend NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment (EP&A) Regulation on exhibition
|In the News - New South Wales
THE NSW Government last week unveiled an updated Regulation that it says will streamline development application processing and save applicants hundreds of millions of dollars a year and speed up decision times by up to six weeks.
Planning Minister, Tony Kelly, said the draft updated Environmental Planning and Assessment (EP&A) Regulation had been placed on public exhibition until November 5 for public comment.
"The entire regulation is being reviewed, in line with State law, and carry important improvements to the Part 4 assessment system predominantly used by local councils to process 85,000 development applications a year," Mr Kelly said.
The draft Regulation proposes a number of changes, including:
Mr Kelly said an independent analysis of the proposed changes has shown that they will reduce processing times for the majority of applications by up to 36 days and cut $316 million a year from landowner holding costs.
More information on the draft Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2010 is available from the Department of Planning website at <http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/>.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine that showcases our most anticipated upcoming releases.
There are two that I am patiently waiting on this week.
Reaper by L.S. Murphy
Expected publication: January 7th 2013 by J. Taylor Publshing
She's supposed to enjoy her sophomore year, not learn about some freaky future Destiny says she has no choice but to fulfill.
It doesn't take long for Quincy to realize the only way out of the game is to play along especially since Death can find her anyway, anywhere, anytime. And does.
Like when she's reassuring her friends she wants nothing to do with former best friend Ben Moorland, who's returned from god-knows-where, and fails. Miserably.
Instead of maintaining her coveted popularity status, Quincy's goes down like the Titanic.
Maybe … just maybe … that's okay.
It seems, perhaps, becoming a grim reaper isn't just about the dead but more about a much needed shift in Quincy's priorities—from who she thinks she wants to be to who she really is.
Revel by Maurissa Guibord
Expected publication: February 12th 2013 by Delacorte Books for Young Readers
Shrouded in mist and protected by a deadly reef, Trespass Island is home to a community of people who guard the island and its secrets from outsiders. Seventeen-year-old Delia grew up in Kansas, but has come here in search of her family and answers to her questions: Why didn't her mother ever talk about Trespass Island? Why did she fear the open water? But Delia's not welcome and soon finds herself enmeshed in a frightening and supernatural world where ancient Greek symbols adorn the buildings and secret ceremonies take place on the beach at night.
Sean Gunn, a handsome young lobsterman, befriends Delia and seems willing to risk his life to protect her. But it's Jax, the coldly elusive young man she meets at the water's edge, who finally makes Delia understand the real dangers of life on the island. Delia is going to have to fight to survive. Because there are monsters here. And no one ever leaves Trespass alive.
Why am I excited for these? Reapers, and ghosts, what's not to love about that? Revel seems mysterious and I can't wait to unravel the mystery of Trespass Island. Isn't the cover beautiful too?.?.
What are you waiting on?
Happy Reading…

When B.J. Crombeen saw his name was listed on the starting lineup, along with Pierre-Cedric Labrie, the message was clear that there was a message to deliver.
"It's easy to get pushed out of buildings, and that's not going to happen with this team this year,'' Crombeen said.
So almost immediate as the puck was dropped to open Monday's game, Crombeen dropped the gloves to square off against New York's Matt Martin while Labrie did the same against Islanders D Joe Finley. Once those players were all settled in the penalty box, as the teams were lined up for the faceoff again, Ryan Malone and Colin McDonald began to exchange a few shoves, resulting in matching unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
The result was 24 minutes in penalties handed out with one second elapsed on the clock, but there was also a desired result from the opening faceoff incidents.
"We definitely haven't had a start like that, which I thought was great, it showed a lot,'' Malone said. "This year, we have a lot more size and grit to us, and that's nice to have.''
Given some of the road performances the Lightning have had in recent seasons, Lightning coach Guy Boucher wanted to ensure there was spark at the beginning of the game.
"We didn't want to look horrible the way we have the last few years here, because some of our worst games ever were here,'' Boucher said. "And we looked just so bad that we wanted to bring some emotion to the start.''
Already in the past
C Vinny Lecavalier appeared in his 1,000th career game, but it certainly did not end the way he would have liked, on the losing side of a 4-3 result to the Islanders.
"For me, it's a number and I'm proud of it, but I've already moved on,'' said Lecavalier, who played 17 minutes, 18 seconds while registering one shot and finishing minus-2.
The Lightning captain became the 49th player to appear in 1,000 games with the same franchise and the 280th player in league history to reach the milestone. He also ranks fifth all-time for games played by a first overall pick for the team that drafted him.
Lecavalier will be honored before Tampa Bay's game at home on Friday against Ottawa. As part of the celebration, Reebok has purchased 1,000 tickets to the game for fans to win by visiting the Lightning's official Facebook page.
Shutdown D
Tampa Bay's top pick in the 2012 draft, D Slater Koekkoek, has been shut down for the season and will require a second shoulder surgery that will keep him out four to six months. Koekkoek had the same surgery on the same shoulder last season, limiting him to 26 games. He appeared in 40 games for Peterborough this season, scoring six goals and 28 points, before being traded to Windsor, where he appeared in only two games before being shut down.
Koekkoek was in Tampa over the weekend to be looked at by Lightning team doctors.
"The first procedure he had, it failed, so he needs to have it redone,'' Tampa Bay general manager Steve Yzerman said.
Minor move
Tampa Bay acquired F Jean-Francois Jacques from the Florida Panthers on Monday for future considerations. Jacques is expected to report to Syracuse, the Lightning's affiliate in the American Hockey League.
Jacques, who played for Syracuse last year as a member of Anaheim's organization, was a second-round pick of Edmonton in 2003. The 6-foot-3, 231-pound winger appeared in 166 career NHL games with Edmonton and Anaheim, registering nine goals, 17 points and 197 penalty minutes.
Nuts and Bolts
RW Teddy Purcell played only 14 minutes, 32 seconds. … Rookie LW Cory Conacher had his second-consecutive multi-point game to start his NHL career after picking up a pair of assists Monday. … Islanders coach Jack Capuano was behind the bench despite undergoing surgery for kidney stones on Saturday that forced him to miss the season opener.

Top quarterback prospects from the Midwest and around the country will converge on Ohio State's campus for Saturday's Elite 11 QB Camp competition. SB Nation will have full insider access to the event, as well as the NFTC on Sunday. The event is a super regional and the top performers will earn an invite to the Elite 11 finals at Nike's The Opening in Oregon later this summer. Here are some of the top committed prospects. Click on the player name for more information, including a scouting report, if available.
Drew Barker, Conner (Ky.) High School: Barker is a big, pro-style passer who chose Kentucky over South Carolina recently.
J.J. Cosentino, Pittsburgh (Pa.) Central Catholic: Cosentino is a Florida State commitment who recently added an offer from Penn State.
Darius Wade, Middletown (Del.) High School: A Boston College commitment, I'm anxious to see him throw and wonder what improvements he has made since the Virginia Elite 11 event.
Caleb Henderson, Lake Braddock (Va.) High School: Henderson is a big, strong QB recruit committed to North Carolina.
Reggie Bonnafon, Louisville (Ky.) Trinity High School: Bonnafon is committed to Louisville. It will be my first time seeing him throw, and I am excited to see the QB who could be the heir apparent to Teddy Bridgewater.
Peyton Bender, Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) Cardinal Gibbons: I've seen Bender many times throughout his high school career, and am excited to see him again. He is committed to Washington State.
Jalan McClendon, Charlotte (N.C.) Mecklenburg West High School: McClendon is committed to N.C. State and its new spread offense.
Clayton Thorson, Wheaton (Il.) North: Thorson is a Northwestern commitment, and one of the stars of its surprising class.
Grayson Muehlstein, Decatur (Tx.) High School: Muehlstein is a TCU commitment with excellent size and mobility.
Chris Durkin, Youngstown (Oh.) Ursuline High School: Durkin is a huge athlete at the QB position. The Michigan State commitment is raw, but has a lot of tools with which to work.
DeShone Kizer, Toledo (Oh.) Central Catholic: Kizer is uncommitted, but claims offers from several major SEC schools.
Chase Litton, Wharton (Fla.) High School: Litton has many tools, including a big arm, but can be quite erratic. Will he improve his footwork and accuracy the second time around? If he does, he can be the best QB on the field.
Brandon Dawkins, Thousand Oaks (Calif.) Oaks Christian School: Dawkins is athletic, but raw. He claims offers from Notre Dame, among others.
Trace McSorley, Briar Woods (Va.) High School: McSorley claims an offer from Virginia Tech.
A.J. Long, Lebanon (Tn.) Friendship Christian: The athletic Syracuse commitment will again try to earn a Golden Ticket to The Opening.
Chandler Kincade, Beaver Falls (Pa.) Blackhawk HS: Kincade holds offers from Pitt and Rutgers, and has good size at 6'5 and 215 pounds.
Anthony Ratliff, Butler (N.C.): Ratliff holds several BCS offers. This will be my first time seeing him throw in person.
Sean White, Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) University School: White has several offers and has a strong arm with good touch.
David Morrison, Ft. Wayne (In.) Concordia High School: Morrison is a Ball State commitment.
Joey Duckworth, Louisville (Oh.) High School: Duckworth is committed to Ohio.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WDRB) – Kentucky moved closer to completing its financing for the Ohio River Bridges Project on Thursday after a state transportation agency agreed to sell $753 million in bonds by the end of the year.
At a special meeting, the Kentucky Public Transportation Infrastructure Authority approved issuing bonds that will require $2.1 billion in tolls from drivers to pay back over the next four decades.
The bonds' interest rates and other details are expected to be finalized next month, and finance officials anticipate the deal will close Dec. 20.
Few members of the largely governor-appointed panel asked questions about a slew of documents they approved, but the board was able to review the information starting last Friday, members and transportation officials said.
Kentucky Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock, the authority chairman, told members that the deal was crafted with care.
"We have documents that are very worthy of approval," he said.
Indiana already has secured its financing for an upriver bridge linking Utica, Ind., and Prospect, Ky., but Kentucky hasn't yet raised all of its money for a downtown span next to the Kennedy Bridge and a reconfigured Spaghetti Junction interchange.
The two states will evenly split toll revenue. Kentucky will use its money to pay off debt and stock a fund for operating and maintaining the new roadways.
There's no requirement that Kentucky contribute to debt payments if toll revenues fall short, placing some risk on investors considering buying the bonds. However, the Transportation Cabinet must seek a loan from the state road fund if toll money is inadequate to keep the maintenance account filled.
Those accounts require deposits of more than $15 million a year for much of the project's debt repayment, which will last until 2054, according to financing documents released Thursday.
The bonds still must receive ratings from Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, which determine the risk of the securities. Kentucky officials expect ratings one notch above speculative, or non-investment grade, status.
"Investment grade is considered a high probability of repayment," said David Miller, managing director of Orlando, Fla.-based PFM Group, the infrastructure authority's consultant. He said the anticipated ratings aren't "unusual or unexpected" when compared with other new toll roads.
"There's an advantage in not being higher," said David Talley, deputy executive director of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's office of budget and financial management. "We could pull the rating up by putting the road fund behind the debt service, but here the bond holders are taking the majority of the traffic and revenue risk."
Miller and the state officials hesitated to give reporters the anticipated interest rates for the bond issue because it involves differently structured series of debt. But, for instance, Miller said the average interest rate of the $301 million in toll-backed bonds is 6.96 percent.
Ryan Barrow, executive director of the Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet's office of financial management, called that rate "well within normal" for the 40-year payment period.
The Frankfort meeting was mostly attended by government officials, bankers, public relations executives and media. Tyler Allen, a Louisville businessman and co-founder of the 8664.org movement to build only one bridge, was the only person who attended as a citizen.
Allen said he wanted to hear firsthand the financing details of the project.
"The state does not appear to be on the hook for debt service. They are on the hook for maintenance, which will be expensive on this big new road system," Allen said after the meeting.
An annual project budget will include a review of toll revenues, Miller said. If those revenues aren't meeting debt service and maintenance needs, he said, the agency is required to have independent consultants recommend ways to cut costs or increase toll revenues.
The authority is then "bound to implement the recommendations of those consultants," he said.
Allen said his fear is that one way to meet debt payments will be to raise toll rates, which are projected to be $1 to $12 per crossing and expected to increase 2.5 percent a year.
"I've always believed the big risk is what they'll do to toll rates, and it can be that much more expensive for the citizens of our region," he said.
Kentucky already has secured $516 million for the project. That includes:
The financing plan approved Thursday includes:
The bond-anticipation notes would be used to help pay for construction but would eventually be replaced, starting in 2017, by a federal transportation loan Kentucky is pursuing, officials said.
The toll bridges – the two new spans and the existing Kennedy Bridge – are to be tolled starting in 2016.

Officials say they are considering scrapping plan to stagger tolls, aim for full tolling in fall 2016.

What are Corrective Exercises Correcting?May 24, 2012 in Mike Young's Blog
Over the past couple years I've run in to a handful of advocates of corrective exercises. This is a little bit of a generalization, but most seemed pre-occupied by correcting something rather than training the qualities really necessary to perform.... View This Article →

Aside from being one of the biggest names in pop music, the wife of Jay Z and mother to Blue Ivy; Beyoncé has something else going for her, Queen Bey can keep a secret. Midnight on Friday a surprising release from Mrs. Carter appeared online.
With no warning, not a single piece of promotion and absolutely no leaks, Beyoncé released what she has referred to as a "visual album". Not only did she release 14 new songs, but each song has a unique video.
With multiple collaborators and all that goes along with recording the songs and making the videos, not a single person let it slip about the release. The album features artists like Drake, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, as well as Bey's family; Jay Z and Blue Ivy.
The album is terrific and nothing less than to be expected from the super star. While the industry becomes more and more focused on singles, releasing her entire album without promotion was an interesting move, but if anyone in the world can pull off the move it would have to be Beyoncé.
Beyoncé released a video explaining her choice to release the "visual album". You can hear what she had to say about it, including her inspiration from Michael Jackson's "Thriller", in the video below.
If you are worried about the success of the self titled album, fear not; word spread like wildfire after its release and it is already topping the charts for downloaded music.

Well, Bama v Ark was a hellava game. Mallett is something special. But so is Ingram. The difference was Bama's D.
5 TDs for UF's backup/wildcat QB-Trey Burton, 4 rushing and 1 receiving. I don't know why UK hasn't figured out that if the QB is wearing 8 rather than 12, it is a QB keeper.
Both Auburn and South Carolina are very good teams. Gene Chizik and Gus Malzahn with Cam Newton could surprise in the SEC West...Auburn almost beat Alabama last season. This year, Alabama isn't quite as good and Auburn is a little better. Should be a good game.

The film isn't out for another year, but we've already got a viral marketing campaign going, and now, a teaser trailer, which appears in front of prints of Green Lantern, in theaters this weekend. This is a bootleg version, so you know how that goes... or it could very well be a fake (h/t The Playlist):

Good on that dude for doing some detective work.

Looks like SOMEBODY thinks his crappy fake trailer is going to get him attention.
VichusSmith | June 17, 2011 10:44 AM
I hear it's not real, and a lot of people I know went to see Green Lantern, and mentioned NOTHING about it.
I think another point that might make it fake is that there's no audio snippet from the film in it and I think that for the 3rd film, they wouldn't go with such a similar gimmick like they did for The Dark Knight.

The Departed
During the scene where Billy and Frank are talking, Jack Nicholson felt that he wasn't "intimidating" enough. Director Martin Scorsese reveals that the next day, Nicholson shocked everyone on set by deviating from the script and pulling out a weapon to frighten his co-star and provoke a genuine reaction. Scorsese says, "He pulled a gun on him. He didn't tell me he had a gun. It was great… Leo's reaction is real-time. I still get chills… It's so real to me." Of the incident, Dicaprio says, "It was one of the most memorable moments of my life, as far as being an actor is concerned."

Jack Nicholson and Michelangelo Antonioni.
Jack Nicholson
The original, unaltered period photo into which actor Jack Nicholson was composited to create the iconic photograph seen in the final shots of The Shining.
These images were found in a book entitled The Complete Airbrush and Photo-Retouching Manual, which was originally published in 1985. The author of the book was the retouching artist responsible for creating the composited image.
The original photographs of Jack Nicholson are located in the Stanley Kubrick Archive in London, and inspection of them reveals that only Nicholson's head, collar, and bowtie were used; the rest of the figure is the anonymous man in the original 1923 photograph.
Interestingly, close examination of images from the film reveals that two different photo-composites were used: one for the long tracking shot which pushes down the hall towards the photo, and a different one for the extreme close-up. Nicholson's composited head rotates from one photo to the next, and his shoulder shifts, partially obscuring the woman holding the cigarette behind him.
The Shining
At the end of The Shining, the character of Jack Torrance appears in a 1921 photograph. Actor Jack Nicholson was composited into an existing vintage photograph, his head, collar and bow tie replacing that of an anonymous man.
Of the two images seen here, the blurrier one is from the very end of the long tracking shot which glides down the hall toward the framed photo. The second, sharper image is from the subsequent close-up to which Kubrick dissolves.
Nicholson's head was composited into photographic prints enlarged to different sizes. This presumably afforded Kubrick the ability to film an extreme close-up of the photo from a much larger print than the framed image, thus ensuring maximum sharpness with minimum film grain
This animation reveals the fact that two different photographs were used: Nicholson's head rotates counter-clockwise from one image to the other, and his screen-right shoulder has had much more retouching done in one photo than in the other, partially obscuring the woman's hand holding the cigarette.
Pantry set of The Shining
Camera Operator Kelvin Pike prepares to shoot a shot in the Pantry set of The Shining. He's about to film the low angle shot of Jack toying with Wendy at the door. The lightbulb fixture on his chest was used to provide a fill light under Jack Nicholson's face.
