ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) - New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez killed his friend at an industrial park a mile from Hernandez's house several days after the two feuded during a trip to a nightclub, authorities said in announcing a murder charge against the Pro Bowler.
Hernandez was taken from his home in handcuffs Wednesday morning, more than a week after Boston semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd's body was found. Less than two hours after his arrest, the Patriots announced they had cut Hernandez from the team.
Lloyd was a 27-year-old semi-pro football player for the Boston Bandits. His relatives said he was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee, that the two men were friends and that the men were out together on the last night of Lloyd's life. He was shot multiple times in the back and chest, authorities said.
In court, prosecutors described a killing borne out of a trip to a Boston nightclub on the night of June 14.
Hernandez and two friends picked up Lloyd at home at 2:30 a.m. on June 17, prosecutors said. Surveillance footage from Hernandez's home shows him leaving earlier with a gun. He also told someone in the house that he was upset and couldn't trust anyone anymore, prosecutors said.
After picking up Lloyd, Hernandez said he was upset with Lloyd because Lloyd had spoken with people Hernandez had trouble with during their outing to the nightclub, prosecutors said.
After that conversation, Lloyd texted his sister, "Did you see who I am with," prosecutors said. When his asked who, he answered at 3:22 a.m., "NFL," then, a minute later, "Just so you know," prosecutors said.
Between 3:23 a.m. and 3:27 a.m., people working the overnight shift at the industrial park reported hearing gunshots, authorities said.
It's not clear who investigators believe fired the shots.
Hernandez's attorney, Michael Fee, asked for bail, saying Hernandez is not a flight risk, is a homeowner and lives with his fiancee and an 8-month-old baby. He also said Hernandez had never been accused of a violent crime.
"It is at bottom a circumstantial case. It is not a strong case," Fee said.
The judge ordered Hernandez held without bail pending further proceedings.
Hernandez was wearing a white V-neck T-shirt, with his arms inside the shirt and behind his back as he was led from his North Attleborough before 9 a.m. Wednesday. He casually spit into some bushes on his way to a police cruiser.
Hernandez was taken from the North Attleborough police station to his court hearing Wednesday afternoon. About two dozen supporters cheered, some yelling "We love you Aaron," as the car carrying him left the police station.
At about 10:20 a.m., the Patriots announced they had released Hernandez and expressed sympathy to Lloyd's family and friends.
"Words cannot express the disappointment we feel knowing that one of our players was arrested as a result of this investigation," the Patriots said in a statement. "We realize that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing. We support their efforts and respect the process. At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do."
Lloyd's mother, Ursula Ward, declined to comment at her Boston home Wednesday morning.
"Nothing to say, please. Thank you," she said, before shutting the door.
State police have searched in and around Hernandez's sprawling home in North Attleborough several times. At least three search warrants have been issued in connection with the investigation.
The Patriots drafted Hernandez, who is originally from Bristol, Conn., out of the University of Florida in 2010. Last summer, the team gave him a five-year contract worth $40 million.
ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) -- Police have charged Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez with murder and weapons counts in connection with the slaying of a semi-pro football player whose body was found in an industrial park about a mile from Hernandez's home.
The charges were revealed Wednesday in Attleboro District Court after Hernandez was arrested at his sprawling North Attleborough home. Less than two hours after his arrest, the Patriots cut Hernandez from the team.
The investigation started more than a week ago after semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd was found slain in an industrial park.
Lloyd's family says he and Hernandez were friends and that Lloyd's girlfriend and Hernandez's fiancee are sisters.
Authorities say Lloyd was shot multiple times in the back and chest. They say Hernandez was upset with Lloyd after the two had a dispute at a nightclub a few days before.

Tomorrow is Connecticut's version of the Olympic trials — the state primary elections for Senate and House seats. Voters choose their party's standard-bearers in two of Connecticut's five congressional districts and in the Senate.
Why get up a bit earlier than usual tomorrow morning to vote in the primaries? Why take the time today to go to your local registrar's office before noon — if you're not registered as either a Democrat or Republican — and declare your party preference?
Because it's a thrill to take part in Election Day, in the democratic process. It's one of those rituals that might seem a burden beforehand, but it feels a benison after it's over.
It's also a citizen's duty, but busy Americans often skip this obligation, leaving primary elections to initiates, the hard-core party members — and then they complain about their choices when the general election rolls around in November.
Don't do it. Citizens who don't exercise their franchise should have no complaints about the outcome.
This primary day is particularly interesting because of the spirited battles in the Senate and 5th Congressional District. Voters are offered real, substantial choices. It's a chance to make history in seats that don't often come open and that rarely have such large, talented fields.
Get to the registrar if you're not registered yet, and set the alarm clock a half-hour earlier if you are. The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Our Choices
The following is a summary of recommendations from The Courant's editorial board for the primary races for Senate and House of Representatives. The names are in alphabetical order. The Courant's choices are indicated by a pointing finger. An asterisk marks the party's endorsed candidate.
The Courant is endorsing in these races not because we expect to influence voters in the primaries, but because we have spent time interviewing the candidates, following their campaigns and talking to election experts. (You can hear those interviews on http://www.courant.com/candidates. You can read the endorsements at http://www.courant.com/endorsements.) It is our duty to comment every day on the news, so we feel obliged to share the benefit of our research on and insights into the candidates.
The decisions on whom to endorse are made entirely locally by The Courant's editorial board.
Unlike news coverage, which should be impartial, election endorsements are opinions; they are unsigned because they reflect the institutional position of the newspaper, not of any one writer or columnist. We hope readers consider our endorsements as one of many resources to be used in forming your own opinions.

Women's golf tees it up at the Xavier Intercollegiate
Coming off a second place finish at the Sea Trail Intercollegiate, the JU women's golf team looks to be in contention again this weekend as they participate in the Xavier Intercollegiate.
The event will take place on the par-72 Legends Course at LPGA International. Last season, Jacksonville finished 11th in the 15-team event.
"I know the team is fired up to get back out there after playing well last week," said JU assistant coach Jen Poth. "We got a lot of work done in practice this week and I think it's going to pay some dividends this weekend."
For three Dolphins, it's a chance to return to their home course. Kristen Boettcher, Melissa Magdor and Meghan Hughes know the Legends Course well from their two seasons at Daytona State.
In between the two events, Hughes won the qualifying tournament and is rounding into the form that made her one of the regulars in the lineup last season. Hughes had the best finish for JU last season, tying for 22nd.
"Meghan's game has made a big turnaround in the last few weeks," Poth said. "She's hitting the ball well and is playing with a lot of confidence, which is so important in this game."
Boettcher has taken her game to a new level this season, leading the team in stroke average (75.0) and has posted two top 10s in two events.
"This past summer I worked really hard on my game," Boettcher said. "I've really worked hard on my putting more than anything. This is my senior year and I want to go out with a bang."
Magdor is coming off a 17th place finish at Sea Trail, where she fired a four-over par 76 in the final round, her best score of the season thus far.
Joining that trio for the event will be Jessica Williams and Morgan Jackson.
Jackson is coming off the best finish of her career, taking home second place at Sea Trail after firing an even-par 72 in the final round. She's second on the team in stroke average (77.25) entering the tournament.
"Morgan's game is really taking flight now," Poth said. "She's much more comfortable on the course and she's managing her game well, not getting too high or too low out there."
In her final season at JU, Williams is third on the team in stroke average and is playing by far the best golf of her career. She tied for 14th at Sea Trail and carded a season-best two-over par 74 in the final round.
"Jessica always wants to get better and she's continuing to work every day, which is all you can ask for out of a student-athlete," Poth said. "She's seeing the value of that work now and knows that there are some great things around the corner for her game."
The Dolphins will open the 54-hole event with first round on Friday, followed by the second round on Saturday and the final round on Sunday.

David Murphy #7 of the Texas Rangers is congratulated by Mitch Moreland #18 after Murphy hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning against the Oakland Athletics at O.co Coliseum on September 2, 2013 in Oakland, California. Moreland scored in front of Murphy on the home run. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)
Knowing Ron Washington like we do, we would never expect him to throw one of his players under the bus or even as much as question him publicly. That's why players love playing for him.
Include Mitch Moreland in that group now, as the Rangers manager defended Moreland and said his time as the Rangers' everyday first baseman isn't necessarily over after another disappointing season in 2013.
While speaking to Norm Hitzges on KTCK The Ticket on Wednesday, Washington said the club isn't ready to give up on Moreland as its first baseman.
"We had a lot of confidence in Mitch Moreland, and yes, he hit 23 home runs, and things didn't work out the way he wanted it to work out," Washington said. "When you play this game long enough, sometimes you have those kinds of years, but right now today we have a lot of confidence in Mitch Moreland, and as we move to the winter, we'll certainly continue to send positive thoughts his way and look for a rebound."
Moreland got hot for one long stretch before hitting the disabled list with a hamstring pull in June. When he returned he was ice cold and actually heated up again in September, but not for nearly as long of a time. The options for first base aren't abundant, and the Rangers missed out on Cuban defector Jose Abreu, who signed with the White Sox.
There's been talk about the Rangers moving Ian Kinsler to first base, but that might not be a realistic move. Moreland is a plus defender at first and has shown good spurts at the plate before, but he definitely needs to be more consistent.

Rail collision prevention priorities Consider alternatives to Suraksha Kavach first
Prevention is always better than cure. To ensure that senseless collisions such as the one at Samlaya do not happen again, existing systems need to be implemented strictly through rigorous training and conducting intensive random checks. Vital inputs to replace old tracks, rolling stock, signalling gear and upgrading repair procedures to eliminate human error in all areas of maintenance and operation need much higher priority. Sinking crores of rupees into the unproven technology is hardly the w ay to improve the Railway's safety record. More

text: I'm very, very disappointed !Personally, I did not want to trade up ! I didn't really care how highly other teams think of Austin because I just don't see the value having a 5'8 receiver at pick 8.. Last years draft I felt good about the whole way but this one i feel disappointed about right now.. but here's what really makes me angry.. Alec Ogletree ! This is one of the picks we discussed which would make you throw your remote at the screen well for me it was. The tape never lies, and on film Alec Ogletree looks like a soft linebacker that can't get off blocks, the only thing he really has is his athletic ability going for him. But what just made my head explode was that we passed on MATT ELAM, my top safety in the draft and one of our biggest needs ! I would've pulled the trigger on Elam immediately or traded out of the first completely ! Now look who's available in the second round, Robert Woods, Keenan Allen, Larry Warford, Lacy ? most notably, and now with no second round pick we're going to miss out on them all ! smh and there might be a quarterback run so all of these guys could be available to us ! My dream scenario was for us to stay pat, or trade down both picks lower into the first ! But I won't complain as long as Ogletree learns how to get off a block once the season starts, and as long as Austin stays off the ir. What were all you guys opinions ?

One of three people shot at the Clackamas Town Center mall has been identified as Steve Forsyth, a father of two from West Linn.Forsyth, along with a Portland woman, died after being shot in the mall's food court Tuesday around 3:30 p.m. A third shooting victim, Kristina Shevchenko, survived.A statement from family described Forsyth as "a loving husband, father of two children, son, brother, uncle, youth sports coach and friend to the many people who had the privilege to meet him.""Steve was one of the most passionate people with a true entrepreneurial spirit that drove him to start his business, Coastoms. He had a great sense of humor and a zest for life. He had vision and a belief in others that brought great joy and value to many lives," the statement said.Forsyth owned a marketing agency in Portland, and formerly worked for Entercom Communications, which owns radio stations in the city, before starting the Coastoms business.A number of tweets shared early Wednesday expressed sympathy for Forsyth's children."He will be sorely missed by all who knew him," the family's statement said.
Jacob Roberts, the gunman who deputies said killed Forsyth, shot and killed himself outside JC Penney's after the shooting rampage.

Letting the enthusiast down is one thing AMD, disappointing a major partner is another
Subject: General Tech | January 6, 2012 - 01:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, cray, interlagos
Many consumers have been annoyed with AMD this year, from the enthusiast on the bleeding edge trying to track down the elusive HD6990 to the bargain conscious market looking for a Llano based system. It certainly hurt AMDs bottom line to have product shortages and it has alienated customers to the point where they may not consider AMD parts in the future. The shortages also ensured that AMD will miss an entire generation of laptops and pre-built PCs since assemblers like Dell and HP needed a guaranteed solid supply of chips before they would consider selling a product line based on those chips.
The Register reported on even worse news for AMD this morning, it seems that Cray will miss their targeted revenue for Q4 2011 and it seems to be AMDs fault. The delay of the Interlagos based APUs which Cray was basing its new line of high powered clusters on. This is not the first time that this has happened, Cray has been burned by Opteron delays before. In response Cray is designing a new cluster architecture that will be able to interconnect Intel and AMD chips over PCIe 3.0 lanes.
These Cray machines that are being delayed have another problem as well. Not only do they depend on the delayed Opterons they are also planned to incorporate NVIDIA's Kepler HPC cards which are suffering from a serious case of the delays as well. Seems like it is a bad quarter to be Cray.
"Cray is going to miss its revenue targets for the fourth quarter, the company warned Wall Street this morning before the markets opened, and it has pointed its finger (without naming names) directly at its main processor supplier, Advanced Micro Devices, as the cause of the miss."

Tagged: ROG, overclocking, LN2, HD 7970, asus, amd
ASUS' Republic of Gamers is off to an incredible start this year with the release of the HD7970, though there are always those who cannot leave their GPUs at reference speeds. For instance Shamino, who is not just a ranger in the Ultima series, but is also now the ultimate champion of extreme GPU overclocking. Taking a brand new HD 7970, removing the stock cooling and replacing it with LN2 cooling has netted him the record for single GPU performance. He scored 15,063 on 3DMark11 and 54,725 on 3DMark Vantage with an 84% overclock, the GPU was running at 1700MHz when he hit the record.
It can certainly be hard to get into a game when you need to constantly replace the evapourating LN2 cooling the GPU but for overclocking purposes you simply cannot beat the cooling ability of LN2. His record may not stand for long, they never do in OCing competiton, but for now he is king of the ring and is looking to move onto bigger and better things ... in this case a quad-CrossFire system which he intends to use to take the grand title of fastest graphics performance on the planet.
Does AMD have a 2304 stream processor GPU in waiting?

We asked and asked, but a die shot was never given to us for our review - a very non-standard practice for new launches. That started us wondering - was there something AMD was hiding from reviewers about the architecture? Were there some disabled CUs on the 28nm GPU that they had disabled for business, yield or clock speed reasons? Think of what Intel has done with Sandy Bridge-E or what NVIDIA did originally with the GTX 480 GPU.
AMD assured us that was not the case - Tahiti is the full die enabled, 32 CUs and 2048 SPs. And, based on some of our own internal information, that seems to be 100% the case.
But, an interesting image started floating around last week:
This image from the site ChipHell.com appears to show the development sheets for Sapphire's upcoming Radeon HD 7000 series products and their internal codenames. There are some really noteworthy things to look at though starting with the Atomic lineup.
While the Flex 6G is a 6GB card with 6 mini-DP ports on it running at the same clock speeds as our reference designs did initially, the Atomic RX card has a clock speed of 1335 MHz running on 2048 SPs and a pretty good memory overclock as well. If that is accurate, the performance difference between the Atomic RX and "Da Original" (likely the reference card) would be tremendous!
Here is what is more interesting - another card listed above the HD 7970s that seems to include 2304 SPs, or 36 CUs. Running at a reference speed of 1000 MHz, this card would have a noticeable advantage over the current HD 7970 cards. What's more...?
The Toxic ZX, if it exists, would run with 2304 stream processors at 1225 MHz! The performance of this card could easily beat out the Radeon HD 7970 3GB card by 35-45% with the shader and clock speed differences.
So, what does this all mean? Probably nothing, but it is fun to speculate on a few things. It seems possible that AMD either HAD or HAS another GPU waiting in the wings based on Southern Islands to compete with NVIDIA's Kepler when it finally gets released. Even though these documents seem to indicate that, I kind of find it hard to believe that AMD would have been able to keep this secret from the media and the competition for this long. It is also equally unlikely that AMD was able to quickly tape out another chip that we are unaware of as even a somewhat moderate change like adding in four very modular CUs takes many months.
And of course, we have to take in the possibility that these are all fake, or a decoy or were written up 18 months ago and plans have changed. Those are much less fun though.

If somehow you ended up feeling that Ryan missed something about the HD 7970 that was important to you, we offer a long enough list of HD 7970 reviews that you will find it somewhere. Come next week when these cards hit the market at about $800 apiece (the MSRP is $550USD so hope that number is inflated), you might want to know just how well the cards scale, assuming you are able to spend the better part of $2000 just on your graphics subsystem. The Guru of 3D has answered your Croesus-like desires by running two HD 7970's in CrossFire. The power usage turned out to be quite interesting, the total power used by two HD 7970s is comparable to that of a single HD 6970, which will at least help you save a bit on your PSU and electricity build. More important to most is the performance scaling, which Guru3D tested exhaustively and are happy to report scaling between 1.6 to 2 times the performance. Keep in mind you need huge resolutions to make this worth your investment, it takes a lot of money to play Battlefield 3 @ 2560x1600.
"We review the AMD Radeon HD 7970 in Crossfire. With two reference cards in-house, we figured well, you might be interested in some multi-GPU lovin from AMD.
Let's take it to the next level -- multi-GPU gaming in 2-way Crossfire mode."

AMD Radeon HD 7700-series Details Leak - $149, 896 SPs, 128-bit
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 30, 2011 - 10:23 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: southern islands, radeon, hd 7770, hd 7750, cape verde, amd
According to a story posted over at Fudzilla, there are new details leaking out about the February release of the AMD Radeon HD 7700-series of graphics cards. Based on the 28nm Cape Verde chip we first heard about last month at the AMD GPU Tech Day in Austin, this is the smallest die based on the new Southern Islands architecture. If you haven't read about all the changes that SI brings to the table (and there are many) then you should check out our Radeon HD 7970 review while you're here.
The specifications of the Radeon HD 7700 (Cape Verde XT) according to the leak are 896 stream processors (14 CUs), 56 texture units and 16 ROPs with a clock speed of 900 MHz. The memory system will be based around 1GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit memory bus at a 1375 MHz clock rate for a total bandwidth of 88 GB/s. The Radeon HD 7750 (Cape Verde Pro) steps down to 832 stream processors (13 CUs), 52 texture units and 16 ROPs with a 900 MHz clock speed. The memory system will still be 128-bit with slightly slower memory for a total of 80 GB/s of bandwidth.
Compared to the Radeon HD 7970, these specs are pretty meager. The Tahiti GPU has 2048 stream processors and a 384-bit memory bus which would likely make a dramatic difference in performance, as expected Still, for the estimated $149 price tag AMD could have a winner on its hands.
Our estimation of the Cape Verde GPU based on the rumored specifications. It is also possible that AMD would remove the dual geometry engines at the top and go with a single.
Finally, there is less information about the 7800-series (Pitcairn): it could include a 256-bit memory bus and will obviously include more compute units for its $299 and $249 price tags. If those leaked prices are legit, that is a HUGE gap in price between the HD 7870 and the HD 7970 currently set to be sold at $549!

Introduction and Design
Back in June of 2011, we reviewed AMD's new Llano mobile processor line by taking a look at a testbed system. The overall review was favorable, but it was also based on the best AMD had to offer, a quad-core A8-3500M processor running alongside a separate Radeon discrete GPU.
If you take a tour through your local electronics retailer, you'll find that this is not the most common combination of parts on store shelves. The less expensive and less powerful A4 and A6 processors are more common. In our original Llano laptop review, I theorized that these would remain competitive at their respective price points, but we didn't have the opportunity to test a laptop equipped with the less expensive hard.
Now, via the ASUS K53T, we finally have a chance to thoroughly examine a mid-range Llano laptop.

AMD Radeon HD 7990 Dual-GPU Card Coming Q1 2012
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 26, 2011 - 12:05 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: tahiti, southern islands, radeon, amd, 7990, 7970
The big talk during the holiday break was AMD's release of the Radeon HD 7970 3GB graphics card - the new single-GPU performance leader. I gave the card our Editor's Choice award for simply impressing the hell out of us, all while keeping power consumption in check thanks to the TSMC 28nm process technology it is built on. Being the first card to support the upcoming DX11.1 and PCI Express 3.0 are just a bit of icing on the fruitcake.
During our talks with AMD they teased a dual-GPU version of Southern Islands they were calling "New Zealand". According to a report from Softpedia that card might be available sooner than we thought - sometime in the first quarter of 2012. Because the new Tahiti GPU is actually more power efficient than Cayman, seeing the pending Radeon HD 7990 with two full powered GPUs isn't out the question though we would expect to see slightly lower clock speeds.
Because of the ZeroCore Technology implemented this generation of GPU from AMD, the HD 7990 will be able to run at basically the same power levels as the Radeon HD 7970 at idle and at the Windows desktop.
The most interesting part? This would give the HD 7990 a 6GB frame buffer, 3GB per GPU as we see today on the HD 7970. Chances are this would give the graphics card more memory than many of our readers primary computer...
If you are interested in this type of card, start saving your pennies now. When the Radeon HD 6990 launched (the Cayman-based dual-GPU card) it was priced at $699 and never went any lower. With the price of a single Southern Islands GPU curently at $549, expect to see even higher numbers than the HD 6990 has. I hope we don't see the same availability issues with the pending HD 7990 release but you can't be sure.

Club Retro: A new all-ages concert venue
Club Retro, a new all-ages venue in town will open its door next Friday.
Club Retro is actually the second in what owners hope will be a chain of alcohol-free, all-ages concert venues.
The original Club Retro opened six years ago in Sacramento. The Fresno location at 4450 N Brawley Ave., near Shaw and Brawley, and will hold 350 people for shows.
From talking to the club's founder Matthew Oliver, it sounds like Club Retro will be a lot like Kuppajoe, although not directly affiliated with a church. Shows will be slow at first, Oliver says — one or two per month. But eventually he hopes the Fresno location to be booked more like the Sacramento club, which has three or four shows per week.
Club Retro fills a need in Fresno, as popular all-ages venue The Exit closed its doors earlier this year and Sanger spot The Venue will be closing at the end of the month. It joins Kuppajoe, Starline and Chinatown Youth Center as Fresno's all-ages venues.
Expect lots of rock — hardcore, screamo, etc — on the lineup. The first show has A Current Affair, Hello Astronaut and Greener By Color. Scheduled touring bands coming up: Arsonists Get All the Girls (Oct. 3), Mozart Season (Oct. 16) and Bidwell (Oct. 30).
Below is a flier for next Friday's show. Check out next Friday's issue of 7 for a feature story on Club Retro.

An updated approach to reference frame analysis of electric machines and drive systems
Since the first edition of Analysis of Electric Machinery was published, the reference frame theory that was detailed in the book has become the universally accepted approach for the analysis of both electric machines and electric drive systems. Now in its second edition, Analysis of Electric Machinery and Drive Systems presents, in one resource, the application of this theory to the analysis, simulation, and design of the complete drive system including the machine, converter, and control.
Supplemented with more than 325 figures, this book also covers:
- Analysis of converters used in electric drive systems, as well as DC, induction, and brushless DC motor drives
- Detailed treatment of supervisory down to switch level converter controls
- Nonlinear average value modeling of converters and drive systems
- Operational impedances and reduced-order modeling
- Guidelines for computer simulation of machines and drive systems

I have found an wiki example to embed system camera in application. But that is far old. I want an example for 3rd and 5th edition. New example should be simpler. While the camera will take the snapshot is it possible to track, where the user is saving the image ?
Another thing is if I have to use Uid of camera process, it will vary from device to device. So my application to run on any device i get to know the Uid dynamically either on runtime or while it is being installed. Any suggestion for this application would be helpful.
Thank you.

Fort Walton Weddings
Are you the type of couple that is dreaming of getting married outdoors on a beach at sunset? If so, you might want to check out Fort Walton weddings. This beach in northwest Florida can provide the intimate wedding destination you've been looking for. This area of the Sunshine State is called the Emerald Coast — a combination of sugary white sand and green water will be the perfect backdrop for your big day. Romance is a common occurance in Fort Walton Beach.
Timeless Atmosphere
Some couples wind up choosing a trendy location for their wedding and regretting it years later, but Fort Walton Beach weddings are timeless. Whether you envision a bare foot ceremony or something a little more formal, Fort Walton Beach at sunset is a place of timeless beauty that you will never regret having chosen for the location of your wedding. It is also easy to reach for your guests who might be traveling from across the country to see you exchange your vows.
Local Services
A destination wedding will only be as good as the local services. When it comes to Fort Walton weddings, part of the appeal is the quality of the local services. Not only are there wedding planners who can help you take care of all the small details, but local caterers, florists, photographers, and salons all have a great reputation. This means you won't have to sacrifice on the quality of your reception just to get married on the beach.
Wedding Venues
Another attractive feature of Fort Walton Beach weddings is the variety of choices for reception venues. After your ceremony on the beach (or a traditional church ceremony), there are several options for a reception. Couples can choose between ballrooms, oceanfront restaurants, poolside patios, and more. Whether you envision a wedding big or small, Fort Walton Beach will be able to bring your dream wedding to life.
Vacation Rentals
One of the hardest parts about planning destination weddings is accommodating your guests. When it comes to Fort Walton weddings, you won't have to worry about your friends and family for a moment. Choosing oceanfront Fort Walton rentals everyone will be steps away from the entertainment and relaxation of the beach. When it comes to your big day, vacation rentals will also be perfect for providing the extra room you need to get ready.
When you choose Fort Walton Beach weddings, your honeymoon can begin right at the conclusion of your reception!

United States National Radio Quiet Zone
The United States National Radio Quiet Zone is a large area of land centered between the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank, West Virginia and the Sugar Grove Research Facility at Sugar Grove, West Virginia. The Radio Quiet Zone is a rectangle of land approximately 13,000 square miles (34,000 km2) in size that straddles the border area of Virginia and West Virginia. It includes all land with latitudes between 37° 30′ 0.4″ N and 39° 15′ 0.4″ N and longitudes between 78° 29′ 59.0″ W and 80° 29′ 59.2″ W.[1]
The National Radio Quiet Zone protects the telescopes of the NRAO facility and the antennas and receivers of the U.S. Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) at Sugar Grove, West Virginia. The NIOC at Sugar Grove has long been the location of electronic intelligence-gathering systems, and is today said to be a key station in the ECHELON system operated by the National Security Agency (NSA).[2]
The Quiet Zone was created by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1958 to protect the radio telescopes at Green Bank and Sugar Grove from harmful interference. Restrictions on transmission are tightest within ten miles of these sites,[3] where most omnidirectional and high-power transmissions are prohibited.
Not all radio transmissions are prohibited in the Radio Quiet Zone. For example Citizen's Band radios, police and ambulance radios, and fire department radios are used there. However, large transmitter owners must typically coordinate their operations with representatives of the NRAO, which oversees the NRQZ in agreement with the Sugar Grove facility. The only broadcast radio stations in the inner core of the Quiet Zone are part of the Allegheny Mountain Radio network—with just one station in the AM band, and several low-power FM stations. Exceptions to the Radio Quiet Zone restrictions are usually determined on a case-by-case basis, with preference given to public safety concerns, such as remote alarm systems, repeaters for first responders, and NOAA Weather Radio. Due to the restrictions, the area has attracted people who believe they suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity.[4]
Most broadcast transmitters in the Quiet Zone are forced to operate at reduced power and use highly directional antennas. This makes cable and satellite all but essential for acceptable television in much of the region.
Chapter 37A of the West Virginia Code strictly regulates radio transmitters within 10 miles of the Green Bank NRAO facility.[3] Staff of the NRAO routinely patrol radio transmissions within a 20-mile radius of the Green Bank Telescope.[5]

The stars are out for these new releases! From Henry Fonda to Lucille Ball and beyond, Hollywood icons take center stage this week. Check out these DVD and Blu-ray releases and catch up on the latest and greatest titles that are now available.
Powerful drama from John Ford which afforded Henry Fonda one of the greatest roles of his career. He plays a priest on the run in an anti-clerical Central American country who must confront a gangster, the country's strong-arm tactics, and his own honor. Based on Graham Greene's "The Power and the Glory"; co-stars Dolores Del Rio, J. Carrol Naish, Pedro Armendariz, Leo Carrillo.
A young farmhand (Henry Fonda), already weary of working his father's spread, gets hooked on the adrenaline when he watches a high-tension power line repair crew in action. He convinces the hard-boiled foreman (Pat O'Brien) to take him on as an apprentice. The topkick is soon impressed with the youngster's moxie, but winds up unprepared for the sparks when he introduces the protege to his girlfriend (Margaret Lindsay). Jane Wyman, Stuart Erwin co-star.
Swashbuckling action saga is set during the War of 1812, as General Andrew Jackson (Charlton Heston) enlists the aid of pirate Jean Lafitte (Yul Brynner) in stopping the British navy. With Claire Bloom, Charles Boyer, Inger Stevens. Anthony Quinn stepped in for ailing father-in-law Cecil B. DeMille to direct this remake of DeMille's 1930s historical drama.
Jane Fonda's screen debut finds her playing a man-seeking coed who woos college basketball phenom Anthony Perkins. Complications arise when the basketball team goes against a Russian squad, and gamblers want to get in on the action. High-spirited farce also stars Ray Walston, Anne Jackson, and Van Williams.
The strained bonds between a restless teenager (James MacArthur) and his film producer father (James Daly) get tested further when a minor incident in a theater escalates into the youth's being hauled into a police station on assault charges. John Frankenheimer's big-screen directorial debut co-stars Kim Hunter, James Gregory, Whit Bissell.
Martin Scorsese directed this whimsical adaptation of Brian Selznick's novel "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." In 1931, Parisian orphan Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) attempts to complete the repairs on a clockwork automaton his late father (Jude Law) had begun. With help from a young girl (Chloe Grace Moretz), Hugo finds his quest leading to an unexpected encounter with legendary filmmaker Georges Melies (Ben Kingsley), who has lost his passion for the cinema. With Sacha Baron Cohen, Christopher Lee.
Ely (Dennis Quaid) was a football champion in high school–but perhaps he should have been named "most likely to succeed"…at being a homicidal maniac! Now, the jock-turned-mortician is married and runs a funeral home that is rumored to be haunted. Will a group of teenagers expose him to the world as a monster to be feared? Or, will they meet the same fate as his previous victims? Tony Oller, Aimee Teegarden also star.
"American Experience" examines the life and times of Bill Clinton in this mesmerizing account of the 42nd U.S. president. From his Arkansas upbringing to his tenure as governor of that state and highly controversial two terms in the Oval Office, the program revisits such explosive subjects as the characterization of Clinton as a draft dodger, his battles with a Republican Congress, and the scandalous indiscretion that nearly saw him expelled from office. Includes interviews with administration members, friends, and journalists. Narrated by Campbell Scott.
All 11 episodes from the debut season–including the "Pilot," "South Bend Suarez," "Communication Breakdown," "Fool in the Rain," and "When the Levee Breaks"–are featured in a three-disc set.
"The Fast and the Furious" franchise's turbocharged fifth entry follows ex-convict Dominic (Vin Diesel) as he partners with former cop Brian (Paul Walker) and beauty Mia (Jordana Brewster). As they all try to evade federal agents who want them in jail, they travel to Rio de Janeiro and plan on pulling off one last job that could ensure their freedom. Along the way, they must deal with hard-nosed fed Luke (Dwayne Johnson) and a ruthless drug lord. With Tyrese Gibson.
Matt Damon reteamed with "The Bourne Ultimatum" director Paul Greengrass for this action-packed thriller set against the backdrop of the United States' liberation of Iraq in 2003. Tasked with finding Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, Army chief warrant officer Damon finds evidence of a cover-up and embarks on a dangerous crusade to uncover the truth–encountering mysterious CIA agents and a determined journalist along the way. Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, Brendan Gleeson co-star.
Here Come the Brides: The Complete Second Season
All 26 episodes from the series's second season–including "Far Cry from Yesterday," "The Legend of Big Foot," "Lorenzo Bush," "To the Victor," and "Two Women"–are featured in a six-disc set.
Friends since college, four middle-aged men (Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven, and Christian McKay) get together for their 25th annual reunion and decide to mark the occasion by embarking upon a hedonistic odyssey of travel, drink, and drugs–and the fulfillment of an old pact. When their activities take a darkly unexpected turn, the men are forced to confront their worst insecurities and inner demons. With Carla Gugino, Arielle Kebbel.
A middle-aged publisher (Peter Finch), struggling with the unhappiness of his trauma-scarred wife (Angela Lansbury), tries to intercede in the similarly rocky union of a younger colleague (Arthur Hill) and his chafing spouse (Jane Fonda), only to fall into an affair with the young woman on a whirlwind visit to Greece. Steamy sudser co-stars Constance Cummings, Alexander Knox,Nigel Davenport.
Accidentally electrocuted during a failed attempt to resuscitate a stabbing victim, ER nurse Kaitlyn finds herself experiencing flashbacks that may well be those of the dead woman. When the police refuse to believe her story, Kaitlyn begins her own quest into the crime, but will her unwanted memories make her the killer's next target? Natalie Zea, Sean Patrick Flanery, Adam Baldwin, and Christopher Lloyd star in this offbeat thriller.

Lubbock health inspectors surprised 55 local restaurants this past week and nine made the Food For Thought list, but not all are at the top.
The first stop at the bottom of the list is Chinese Kitchen at 5302 Slide Road. Inspectors cited them for seven critical violations.
- Raw shrimp and tofu were stored above the safe cold temperature of 41 degrees.
- Fried pork was more than 20 degrees below the required temperature.
- Hot water had been turned off at a hand sink.
- There were no paper towels.
- An employee put gloves on without washing their hands first.
- Cleaning items were not labeled.
- Knives were in a dirty container. The owner told inspectors they were not used. Inspector advised management if items are not used then they shouldn't be stored in the kitchen.
According to the report, the violations were corrected while the inspector was at the restaurant.
The next low performer on the list is Linda's Cafe at 6201 West 19th Street. Inspectors found eight critical violations.
- Beans were not cooling properly, which creates potential for bacteria to grow.
- A hand sink was being used for purposes other than hand washing.
- Employees were observed washing their hands in a sink not designated for hand washing.
- Inspectors found expired cans of mushrooms.
- Raw eggs were stored over vegetables, which poses a risk for cross contamination.
- The dishwasher was not sanitizing so employees were instructed to wash by hand.
- Inspectors found evidence of rodent droppings in an outdoor storage shed.
- The report shows there was rodent bait in the shed, but not the kind approved to use around food.
Inspectors told management that an exterminator must come and treat the shed. The report shows the critical violations were addressed during the inspection, and over the phone the owner says the violations have been fixed.
Now to the top of the list, all 7 top performers know what it is like to be at the top.
Sonic at 1609 Martin Luther King Jr., Blvd skated to the top of the list with zero critical violations.
You can spice up your life with a little Cajun cuisine from repeat top performer Jazz, a Louisiana Kitchen at 3703 19th Street.

As much as I love the C's I don't see them winning their 18th banner this year for the reason of not improving the team at its most vulnerable position and that is the center position. Without question they are a playoff bound team but they are weak at the center spot and who do they have to back up Kendrick Perkins, Leon Powe and Patrick O'Bryant that tandem is insufficient against the likes of Shack, Yao Ming, Dwight Howard, Jermain Oneil Greg Oden and the list goes on. While I like the effort of Powe to get position and take charged, he fouls much too much. I do recognize he's playing out of position and should probably be playing the power forward position. O'Bryant isn't physical enough for my liking to play like a force at the center spot and this is his 3rd year in the league ! O'Bryant is a 7 footer and has next to no inside game and a suspect outside shot and on to of those insufficiencies he's a weak defender and average rebounder ! No one talks about his passing skills because there isn't much to say about it. So we have Kendrick Perkins as the starting center, and we all know of the history of Perks shoulder. Besides the fact that Perkins has a troubled shoulder he is still too foul prone after being in the league 4 years and I'm referring to some very very silly petty fouls. Perk has no outside shot to considered a threat from out of the perimeter. his offensive attack to the rim is methodical and slow, his passing to cutters is below average and too often results in turnovers ! So that brings us to Glen Davis, all I will say is that he tries and is the quicker of all the centers that i just spoke of, but Big Baby is not an adequate center for the NBA, he stands a generous 6'7.
So there you have it the achilles heel of the Celtics that good teams and good center will exploit ! I was hoping that Patrick O'Bryant would be a great pick up fo the C's but from what I saw thus far in preseason games he doesn't have the heart of a lion so I'm hoping he can meow very loudly against the opposition

Boston suspect's uncle arrives to arrange burial rites
The uncle of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect killed in shootout with police has arrived in Massachusetts to arrange for his burial, the Associated Press reported
Ruslan Tsarni, who lives in Maryland, arrived at a Worcester funeral home and met with funeral director Peter Stefan.
The funeral director said three men who accompanied Mr Tsarni plan to wash and perform Muslim burial rites on the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Mr Stefan said he still hasn't found a cemetery that is willing to bury Tsarnaev. He plans to ask the city of Cambridge - where Tsarnaev lived - to provide a burial plot.
If Cambridge turns him down, Mr Stefan plans to seek help from state officials.
Mr Tsarni has denounced the acts Tamerlan and his brother, Dzhokhar, are accused of. He said they had "put shame" on his family and the Chechen community.

Boise being replaced on football schedule by SMU
SMU is a significant downgrade from Boise State as a road game, but they should be a better team than Memphis. How exactly did SMU lose to Tulane and then beat Fresno State though? For those wondering, Louisville gets Memphis instead of SMU, while another presumed preseason contender in Cincinnati has it easiest of all in missing UCF.

CFB Compu-Picks Ratings, Week Eight
... 5) It's interesting to note that Oregon has closed the gap between them and the top by about a third, which is pretty remarkable since it was one of the Pac-10's weakest teams, UCLA, that they blew out (and it was at home). If (and it's a big if) they can keep this up in the tougher games, especially on the road, they can absolutely close the rest of the gap before the end of the regular season. Ditto for Nebraska and Missouri (both jumped a bit from last week to this, and if one team wins their week 9 matchup handily they'll make a solid move upwards).

Bill Gates' Paperless Office
I admit I'm not the biggest fan of Bill Gates, while I worship at the altar of Steve Jobs. This little article from Fortune Magazine intrigues me though. Granted, Bill Gates is using all Microsoft products to work digitally, but aren't most of us? I can't really ding him for encouraging use of his products, as most of them are the standard.
Like me, Gates uses a tablet PC. I think it's safe to say he uses his much more effectively than I do, but I'm still learning.
Paper is no longer a big part of my day. I get 90% of my news online,
and when I go to a meeting and want to jot things down, I bring my
Tablet PC. It's fully synchronized with my office machine so I have all
the files I need. It also has a note-taking piece of software called
OneNote, so all my notes are in digital form.
The one low-tech piece of equipment still in my office is my
whiteboard. I always have nice color pens, and it's great for
brainstorming when I'm with other people, and even sometimes by myself.
The whiteboards in some Microsoft offices have the ability to capture
an image and send it up to the computer, almost like a huge Tablet PC.
I don't have that right now, but probably I'll get a digital whiteboard
in the next year. Today, if there's something up there that's
brilliant, I just get out my pen and my Tablet PC and recreate it.
