A video mixer/scalar is able to analyze and convert signals in any format into one standard output format.
The benefits of mixers/scalars should be obvious: any source of video can be called up on the fly and mixed into a live production.
Of all the tools available to those who design large-screen electronic presentations, video/computer mixer/scalars may be the most unique. These devices allow the seamless blending of interlaced and progressive-scan images from virtually any source, regardless of its signal format and scan rate.
Thinking about using big electronic images in your next production? Perhaps you've been put off by the idea of trying to blend signals from such disparate sources as a personal computer, DVD player, or hard-drive video recorder. Based on outward appearances, none of these sources of "video" appear to have anything in common.
The connectors couldn't be more different — what we think of as a traditional "video" connector is often a piece of coaxial cable with a small RCA or BNC plug on it. How does that have anything in common with the 15-pin, knuckle-busting "HD"-style plug on a computer monitor?
The fact is, "video" can come in many flavors. All that's required to produce an electronic image is some sort of luminance signal (how bright the image should be), signals that determine the levels of red, green, and blue in the image, and signals that synchronize each frame of the image.
In a broadcast video signal, all of this information travels on one wire. The same thing applies to a consumer video camera or VCR — the luminance, chrominance (color), and synch information is carried on that black cable with the yellow RCA plugs on either end. This is known as a composite video system — the separation of all signals is done in the TV set or monitor.
We can get more sophisticated with video signals. To improve picture quality, the luminance/synchh signals (Y) and chrominance (C) can travel on two separate wires. This component signal format is known as S-video, or S-VHS. If you've purchased a DVD player, you may notice three RCA jacks on its rear panel colored green, blue, and red. This component signal format goes S-video one better by dividing the chrominance information into two channels (R-Y and B-Y).
So we can deliver "video" in three different formats — a single wire, two-wire, or three-wire. Computer video displays aren't all that different, except that they only use component signal formats. Depending on the format, three color channels (red, green, and blue) travel on their own wires, while horizontal and vertical picture synch are carried together (composite synch) or separately (component synch). These two formats are known as RGBS and RGBHV, respectively.
A video mixer/scalar is able to analyze and convert signals in any of these formats to one standard output format. While the luminance and chrominance information may arrive in very different ways, the mixer/scalar is able to translate rapidly between formats and convert everything to one output format that you choose. Typically, it will be RGBHV, which is the same format used by computer monitors and flat-matrix front projectors.
By converting everything to the same format, a mixer lets us dissolve, cut, and wipe between each of these disparate video sources as easily as we can with a conventional broadcast video mixer/switcher. In addition, the mixer converts interlaced scan video sources (composite, S-video, and component video) to progressive scan, matching the progressive-scan format used by computer monitors. But there's another important part to the process.
Each incoming signal has a specific image resolution, which can be measured as either the total number of electronic scanning lines, or the number of horizontal and vertical pixels. You've probably guessed that video images will have less resolution than images from a graphics workstation computer, or even a notebook computer. How can two images of different sizes and resolutions possibly blend together?
The answer is in the video scalar. This is a series of custom-integrated circuits that performs some pretty sophisticated mathematical calculations on all incoming signals, and re-sizes them to match the output resolution you've chosen previously. If your mixer/scalar is set up to output a RGBHV signal with a specified resolution of 1,024 × 768 pixels (known as XGA), then all signals connected to the mixer/scalar will be converted to that resolution.
This means that lower-resolution video signals may not appear as crisp when enlarged (that's because the pixels are blown up in size). A better approach is to have the mixer/scalar create additional duplicate pixels from the original material, interpolating what these pixels should look like based on the original signal. That takes a ton of microprocessing power, and isn't easy to pull off.
Higher-resolution signals require a similar juggling act. They will have more pixels than the specified output resolution, so the scalar must throw away data, a process known as "decimation," to shrink the image down to the desired size. This process can work quite well if implemented correctly.
To the end-user — you — the process is largely transparent. Setting up a mixer/scalar will require you to specify an output resolution, typically one that matches common computer display resolutions. These can include VGA (640 × 480 pixels), SVGA (800 × 600 pixels), XGA (1,024 × 768 pixels), and SXGA (either 1,365 × 1,024 pixels or 1,280 × 1,024 pixels).
Most mixer/scalars are intelligent enough to detect the incoming signal sources and automatically perform the conversions. You'll have to connect the cables from your video sources to specific input jacks, but that's about it. Onboard menus will show you what sources you have connected and how you've set up the output signal.
What's in It for Me?
Why use a mixer/scalar? Because flat-matrix displays (LCD, DLP, LCoS, plasma) all have a specific pixel resolution, also known as their "native" resolution. For your mixed images to look as sharp and crisp as possible, you'll want to match that "native" resolution exactly. The number of times each frame of video is refreshed each second is also important — for flat-matrix projectors, you may want to use 60Hz, 70Hz, 72Hz, or some other refresh rate. The mixer/scalar lets you do just that.
The human interfaces on scalars are very similar to those of broadcast switchers — large, backlit buttons that can contain custom labels for inputs and outputs. There are generally two banks of buttons to allow dissolves, cuts, and wipes, plus a joystick or T-bar to execute the effect. Mixer/scalars also have a second output channel for previewing the signal you are going to "take," in addition to the "main" program output channel.
The benefits of mixer/scalars should be immediately obvious: any source of video can be called up on the fly and mixed into a live production. Those sources could include image magnification (IMAG), computer graphics (.JPEG, .TIF, and Powerpoint images), clips from hard-drive servers or DVD, video rolls from broadcast formats like Betacam SP and DV/DVCAM/DVCPRO, and even video clips from Internet sources.
In short, you are not constrained by the source material. As long as you can interface your source to a mixer/scalar (and the source picture scan rates are supported), you're in business. These products will work with different aspect ratios, too — most computer display resolutions work out to a 4 × 3 or 5 × 4 aspect ratio. But at least one manufacturer is now supporting widescreen (16 × 9) aspect ratios.
Who Makes Them
Video mixer/scalars are comparatively new products, but several manufacturers have jumped on the mixing/scaling bandwagon in the past few years.
Folsom Research of Rancho Cordova, CA, was the first manufacturer to successfully market a video mixer/scalar to the rental and staging markets. Their Variable Format Converter (VFC-2200) was able to seamlessly scale and blend a variety of component video signal sources at resolutions up to 1,280 × 1,024 pixels. A preview output and custom video switcher interface rounded out the package.
Folsom's ScreenPro product takes the concept to a new level, adding support for composite and S-video sources and providing auto-setup of all inputs. A new interface that included a built-in matrix of input and output pushbuttons as well as pushbuttons for executing cuts, dissolves, and wipes was added. A small LCD display provides all setup and operating information to the user.
The ScreenPro can also "key" one image on top of another, which is useful for superimposing text. It features eight separate inputs for component and composite video sources, up to a maximum resolution of 1,600 × 1,200 pixels (UXGA). The ScreenPro outputs standard computer display rates and is capable of storing up to 64 pre-programmed transitions in memory.
While Folsom's VFC-2200 mixer/scalar was the first such product to be widely adopted, a French company — Analog Way of Paris — has the distinction of rolling out the first full-integrated mixer/scalar with a built-in switcher. The company's newest version, the Graphic Switcher II, has large backlit buttons for each input and output, "preview" and "program" outputs, and individual pushbuttons for taking each selected effect.
Early models could only support progressive-scan video, requiring an external line doubler. The GSW II supports both interlaced and progressive-scan signals in any form — composite or component. Depending on configuration, it has eight RGB inputs (including component DTV signals), eight composite video, or four S-video inputs. The GSW II will also mix and output signals at HDTV rates, such as 480p, 720p, and 1,080p.
FSR, Inc. of West Paterson, NJ, also offers a fully integrated, eight-input, dual-output mixer/scalar. The Omni Navigator presents the usual video switcher interface for selecting inputs and outputs, plus auto-configuration on any input signal. Three pushbuttons select programmable wipes, cuts, or dissolves between sources, and an external video switcher can be interfaced for studio-type operation. Input sources to 1,600 × 1,200 are supported, and output signals are fed as standard computer resolutions to 1,280 × 1,024.
Extron Electronics of Anaheim, CA (best known for its broad line of video/computer interface products), has a full-featured mixer/scalar. Their SGS 408 product has eight high-resolution inputs that will take anything from composite video to 1,600 × 1,200 workstation images and blend them at standard computer resolutions. Both "preview" and "program" outputs are standard. Accessory control panels include a pushbutton panel (RCP 1000) and production switcher (ECP 1000) with T-bar.
RGB Spectrum of Alameda, CA, has a simpler configuration in its SynchroMaster 450. It's not as fully featured as the preceding models, but it allows seamless scaling and blending of four RGB signals or two RGB and two video signals (depending on configuration). The SynchroMaster 450 accepts input signals up to 1,280 × 1,024 resolution, and there's also an option to output serial digital video (DVI) to projectors and monitors so equipped.
Odds and Ends
Each of the products mentioned is a fully featured mixer/scalar. This means you have total control over all signal adjustment parameters (provided you know how to tweak them; otherwise, let the scalar do the calculating), and each product can also be controlled remotely, via an RS-232C interface.
Video effects (cuts, fades, and dissolves) can be remotely triggered independently or in conjunction with other lighting and stage effects. As IP-type control protocols are adopted by the professional AV industry, you can expect mixer/scalars to adopt IP addressing for placement on custom LANs. Expect direct digital signal connections to follow shortly.
Want to check them out? There are several trade shows that provide excellent opportunities to see mixer/scalars in operation, such as NAB 2001 in late April, and InfoComm 2001 in June. Some manufacturers will periodically take their mixer/scalars on the road for demonstrations and training — check with your local staging/rental house or professional AV dealer to see if such a demo is headed your way.

It's early to start talking about this fight, but I think it's safe to say this is the fight to make at Welterweight.I know Mayweather wants a break and he deserves it, but now is the time to make these fights when he's still at peak level.If these two superstars fought it could unify the WBC,WBA & RING Titles which would be something neither man has done.Also, Mayweather wouldn't have to work with Golden Boy on this one either.He could get back at Arum for all the negative things he has said about Floyd.Personally, I think Floyd should take this fight in 2008.It would advance his Legacy even further and it's a fight he can win and look good.Cotto has improved, but so has Mayweather over the years.I think Mayweathers defense and skills would take him to a decision victory.Cotto can be hit often if the right gameplan is put in place.I believe Mayweather is still very quick and has the experience advantage over Cotto.This fight would sell and possibly be an instant classic.

I think Cotto could beat Mayweather 1, maybe 2 times out of 10.
Mayweather would simply outbox him like he did DLH. I see it being a clear 8-4 type fight.
Saturday's performance reminded us that Floyd has a fucking arsenal of plans and skills at his disposal...and power to boot.
Cotto is a beast, but Mayweather has the tranquilizer.

Frank Gehry's Twin Towers in Astana
Culture and History, Kazakhstan4 Comments
I wrote about this before on blogistan.asia, but I am still interested in the topic and therefore I will write here again.
Astana is something like a city of myth for many German newspapers and therefore often described as one of those unbelievable new cities built on oil and gas like Dubai and
Abu Dhabi. Last time I read some article like that, was in the German Kazakh newspaper DAZ in Almaty. On the first page of DAZ was a little teaser, which said something like that the Star architects Norman Foster and Frank Gehry are creating giant buildings in the Kazakh Steppe. I think everybody knows that, Norman Foster is doing a lot in Astana, but Frank Gehry? Interesting to see is that, if you "google" Frank Gehry and Astana you will get some results, which are mostly in German. Starting with this article of the big German newspaper Sueddeutsche, all these articles are saying something like: "Frank Gehry is building in Astana". Funny thing is that, you will never find information about Gehry and Astana somewhere else besides German newspapers. If you look closer at the article you will notice that there was an original article written by the German Press Agency (DPA). This article was published in Sueddeutsche newspaper and the big monthly Focus. With this article DPA sold some pictures by Stefan Voss, which are claiming that there are some
Twin Towers (see photo below) of Frank Gehry in Astana. This information is now so deep in the internet, that every time some German journalist writes something about Astana, you will find a quote like:" Star archtitects like Norman Foster and Frank Gehry…" I was even once hiking with a German geographer, who was teaching at German Kazakh University, who told me about Gehry' Twin Towers in Astana. When I am told him that I think he is wrong, he was shocked and reported me that he had a quote in his diploma thesis about Astana, which was like:" Star archtitects like Norman Foster and Frank Gehry".
Maybe I am wrong and there are Twin Towers by Frank O. Gehry in Astana, but then he is trying to hide the fact. If anybody has some information about this, please write a comment.

UNT offensive coordinator Mike Canales will interview for the head coaching job at Sam Houston State tomorrow.
Here's hoping that if Canales decides it's an opportunity he's interested in, he gets a shot.
Because let's be honest — the guy has done a heck of a lot at UNT, no matter how one slices it.
Canales has taken his fare share of criticism over his time at UNT, but let's look at the facts:
– Canales went 2-3 on an interim basis at the end of the 2010 season at UNT. Todd Dodge went 2-16 in the previous 18 games before Canales took over.
– Canales also navigated the tricky situation with having Riley Dodge on the team just after his father finally got canned.
– Even if one considers the great job UNT did on special teams and defense scoring points this year, UNT's offense improved dramatically.
Bottom line, Canales has done a lot with a host of teams he has worked with over the years. He deserves a chance to be a head coach.
There have been a host of guys handed the keys to major college football programs who had no business in that position (I won't name names). Canales has learned under some of the best over the years — guys who knew what they were doing and did it right, including Dan McCarney.
I for one would hate to see Canales go. He's just a good football coach and a better guy.
There is no telling if Canales will decide Sam Houston is the right fit and more importantly if the people at Sam Houston think he's the right fit. But if the people making the call take a long look at Canales, it's hard to imagine they won't be intrigued by what he has to offer, especially after what he has accomplished and the ties he has established in the state.
UNT has sent some guys on who appear as if they are going to turn into home run hires, including a certain former basketball coach in Baton Rouge.
I have little doubt Canales could be another one of those types of hires for Sam Houston.

Biology - Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Major Guide for 2009-2010
What is Biology - Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) concentration of the Biological Sciences major is designed for students interested in pursuing careers that require a better understanding of our natural world. Through formal classes and research experiences, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology provides students with first-hand knowledge of modern science in our field -- from conservation biology, to animal behavior, to ecological genetics, to systematics, to evolutionary development, to computational biology, to community, ecosystem and climate change ecology. Because of the breadth of this discipline, EEB provides its majors examples of specific tracts or emphases that they might follow (e.g., pre med, aquatic ecology, animal behavior and computational biology) at our web page.
The faculty associated with this concentration is a mix of nationally and internationally known senior professors who are very active in research, and a new cadre of energetic junior faculty who are at the cutting edges of their fields. Our interests range from mathematical ecology through evolutionary genetics to field studies of behavior and ecology. Our faculty members are eager to involve our majors in research so that they can get first-hand knowledge of modern science in our various sub-disciplines. These experiences might lead our students to choose a career in ecology and evolutionary biology; it will definitely provide them with valuable credentials for so many other career goals. We have a special fund in the department to provide financial support for supplies and travel to undergraduate students who are pursuing independent study projects in our diverse labs. Our students may also complete an honors program in this concentration. Check out our web site and list of faculty to see all of the diverse options available for research with our faculty: http://eeb.bio.utk.edu/. If you would like to discuss this concentration of the Biological Sciences major with a faculty member, please contact Dr. Riechert, EEB Undergraduate Committee Chair or Dr. McCracken, EEB Department Head, who will be glad to talk with you about options.
Career Opportunities in Biology - Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
The goal of the EEB concentration is to provide students with the necessary intellectual and technological tools to access and succeed in a wide variety of careers. Students who major in EEB have career opportunities that include fields such as conservation, teaching, working for state and national parks and forests, or pursuing advanced training in a medical profession. Career options also include working in environmental consulting and non-profits, in zoos and natural history museums. The EEB graduate may go on to become an applied animal behaviorist, to graduate school for the MS, PhD, or a degree in environmental law and policy.

Chris Pronger was not sent to the hospital after an eye injury was delivered via the stick of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski, so that's the good news on the condition of the Philadelphia Flyers defenseman.
The bad news? According to Bob McKenzie of TSN, the swelling around his eye is so bad that an eye specialist cannot yet take a look at the injury. More time will be required for a diagnosis.
The Flyers have yet to release an official statement on Pronger's condition, other than the obvious news that he wouldn't return to the Monday night game against the Leafs. General manager Paul Holmgren could give an update after the game, but as of yet we do not have an official confirmation of the injury.
Pronger immediately ran off to the locker room after taking the stick to the face from Grabovski. He was clutching his face and bending over the entire way off the ice and down the tunnel. Blood wasn't visible on the ice but could be seen on his face on replay as he skated away.
For more on Pronger's condition, stick with SB Nation NHL and our Flyers blog Broad Street Hockey.

Rated 1 out of 5 by LovesFlipflops Quality Tory Burch has change the top of the flip flop and made it slimmer using less material resulting in a fit that feels less secure on the foot. Cost of flip flop has increased from $ 45.00 to $ 50.00. Change it back, please. July 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Shebadiva Poor quality. They look great but are already showing serious signs of wear and tear and I have only worn them a couple of times.

I did NOT see that coming. Based off of my Open Thread many of you can probably see that I share the same dejected feelings that all of you do when it comes to the Dubs. And last night being yet another loss means that it was certainly no reason to start popping bottles of champagne.
But Ellis dropping 30 and 6 dimes, Tolliver dropping 25 and 12, and Reggie blasting off with a career high 29? The Warriors hanging in with one of the big bad Western powerhouses, all the way until the bitter end? Shoot. I'll at least open a bottle of Martinelli's to that.
"That's right. We only roll Gold Medal in this club, son."
Boxscore | Open Thread (1100+ Comments) | Game Day Links
Jump it up and let's take a quick look at the rare treat of Warrior madness we saw last night!
"I wish we could've gotten the win but we didn't," Williams said. "The Suns' head coach talked to me and to be recognized helps me with my confidence and lets me know I'm getting my foot in the door and kind of making an impact."
Really dude? You have Nash, Stoudemire, J-Rich, AND Hill and you still want to poach one of our D-Leaguers on his career night? That's just greedy man. Let us at least have this man. WE HAVE 19 WINS MAN. NINETEEN!
..Sorry about that. Got a little carried away. But all props to Reggie for coming off of the bench like that. All indications are that he will be a powerful addition to our D-League empire for many games to come. Wonder Twin Powers Activate! Form of.... bulletpoints!
- Devean George makes me want to play an NBA2K game, turn on injuries, and keep playing until his virtual self turns his ankle. Then I feel a little better.
- Holy Monta, Batman! Buzzer beater threes, 6 dimes, 3 jacks, 30 points; Ellis is now averaging over 31 points over his last 4 games.
- Stoudemire over Tolliver.... that rim is still rattling.
- Chris Hunter made me think that we will one day have a big man. One day. One day....
- Tolliver got it done on all sides of the floor. Cleaning the glass, swatting the ball, and of course, a solid offensive showing. D-LEAGUE! *clap clap*!
- Amare is a BEAST. Can we trade our cheerleaders for him or something? I take that back. No wait, I don't.
Well, okay, a loss is a loss is a loss. It's unfortunate that with performances like we saw from so many of our guys tonight we still couldn't muster a W, but it is important to keep in mind this wasn't a match up against a team that would should have been able to dispatch of. Y'know like New Jersey. And... maybe Minnesota. Oh, and that YMCA team of 6 year olds I saw playing in the park yesterday.
Our squad would have WASTED those fools. High five! Anyone? Anyone?
...is this mic on?...
I'm giving it to Tolliver. While we saw some great stuff from so many of our guys (serious hat tip to Reggie for his career night), Anthony was getting it done on all parts of the floor. Next time Phoenix comes to town, they're definitely going to have the fear in their eyes.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Full forecast and current conditions are always available on your mobile device.

If you work in downtown Toledo, you may have joined the mobile food truck craze. They're popping up during the lunch hour. We learned the city might be stepping in. The mayor says there are so many food trucks that he wants several restrictions put in place. This is so existing restaurants aren't run out of downtown.
During weekdays, you can find many food trucks downtown. This is especially the case on North Saint Clair Street. The Wanderlust Sandwich Truck is run by the Ottawa Tavern. Grumpy's has a mobile truck, too, that was in Perrysburg Wednesday.
"I love that it gives variety. I love the taste of the food. It's actually good compared to some other restaurant that I've even been too," said Rachel Ranville.
"We're bringing down lamb chops and lobster mac and cheese, and my wife's special cheese buns stuffed with pepperoni," said Phil Barone from Rosie's Italian Grille.
Mayor Collins has proposed new rules that would limit the areas the mobile food trucks could operate in downtown. It would also limit the days of the week and the amount of time each day the food truck can operate in those locations. The trucks would not be allowed to be within 100 feet of an existing restaurant entrance. They also couldn't use city power outlets unless it is authorized.
City councilwoman Sandy Spang says some restrictions could work.
"We want to be fair to both the food trucks and to the brick and mortar restaurants that exist in our city. So there is always a way you can find that correct middle ground," said Spang.
Barone co-owns Rosie's rolling chef truck. He says he's okay with restrictions, to a point.
"I'm all for restrictions where it helps everybody and it's not favoring one person over another. I understand that part. It could (hurt business) down the road. Sure it could," said Barone.
City council is having a committee hearing Tuesday July 1 at 1 p.m. You can sign up to give your two cents on the mobile food trucks.

regulations here. (Mobile users: Copy and paste this link http://bit.ly/1nFEJpf)

She can't communicate without the stolen device, says mother of disabled woman
The mother of a woman suffering from cerebral palsy who has been left without her voice after thieves stole a communication aid, says her daughter is heartbroken.
The thieves broke into their Leicestershire home and stole the device, which is worth around £9,000.
Despite the cost to buy it, Natalie Wood says it's worthless to anybody who doesn't need it.
Thieves also stole a handful of euros and a games console. In the process they trashed the bedrooms and trampled over the beds.

There were so many images I was drawn to when Erik sent me this wedding…the organic florals, the way his suit goes so well with that boutonniere, even the tiny carrot display! It was all very well put together…if I had to put a name on it, I would call it organically modern.

"Passengers" (2008)
"Passengers" Synopsis: After a plane crash, a young therapist, Claire (Anne Hathaway), is assigned by her mentor (Andre Braugher) to counsel the flight's five survivors. When they share their recollections of the incident - which some say include an explosion that the airline claims never happened - Claire is intrigued by Eric (Patrick Wilson), the most secretive of the passengers. Just as Claire's professional relationship with Eric, despite her better judgment, blossoms into a romance, the survivors begin to disappear mysteriously, one by one. Claire suspects that Eric may hold all the answers and becomes determined to uncover the truth, no matter the consequences.

Another key Brotherhood symbol is the pyramid or the pyramid with the capstone (jesus) missing. The street plan of Dealey Plaza where Kennedy was killed is shaped like a pyramid with the capstone missing. The pyramid with the capstone missing, or thcapse pyramid and all seeing eye, is most famously depicted on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States and the dollar bill. The all seeing eye is the eye of Horus, Lucifer, Satan, whatever name you want to use, and also relates to the socalled 'third eye', the chakra vortex in the centre of the forehead through which we connect with our psychic sight.
|David Icke
You will see this ancient sun symbol, the cross on the circle. The circle in the middle is the sun. The son that died on the cross of the zodiac between North, East, West, and South. That spells news. Anything that happens in the world is news. Even the Nazis had the sun cross. When you talk about God's son being the light of the world, you better look at it, because there's something else going on here. When the sun came up in the morning, Horus took 12 steps across heaven. That's why we got a 12 step program for alcoholics, a 12th grade program when you go to school, there's 12 hours in the morning. The sun brought light into the word. Light in Latin is Lucifer. We say the same thing the ancient Egyptians say, when someone dies, we say that they passed. In the Egyptian, they said they left from one world to another world, that you passed over because the sun crossed over the equator and they called it the passover. The passover is part of sun worship which happens on the first week of spring. This is a jewish celebration, so Christians go out on the first day of easter (ishtar), and have an Easter sunrise service. Because that's all it is, you're worshiping the sun on a sunrise service because the son has passed over. Jews calls it passover, Christians calls it resurrection. It's just sun worship.
|Jordan Maxwell
War, terrible war. Brother turned on brother until nothing remained. People rose up from its ashes, and a new era was born.

This tragedy will be a catalyst for good, for change. Out of the ashes humanity will find a common goal, a united sense of hope - couched in a united sense of fear.

|Buttons don't work?
Firstly try hitting the refresh button on your browser (or the f5 key on the keyboard which does the same job in Windows). On slower connections this will frequently work.
No luck - try clicking, in fact clicking twice, on one of the navigation buttons in the left hand panel e.g. the Country Squads button.
On slow connections it is possible that the menus will sometimes appear and sometimes not. This happens with my home connection with Sky and is rather frustrating. A more recent connection with Virgin media does not exhibit this problem. It seems that the larger the page is to load (e.g. the picture page/slide shows) then the more likely it is the menu will not always appear. On occasion it does! There may be another reason for this but if so I have been unable to work it out. Some browsers (I sometimes use 'Opera') seem to suffer when Internet Explorer works fine.
However ... the navigation buttons on this site were written in a language known as Java. For many years this could be read by Internet Explorer and most other Internet Browsers. However around 2006 versions of Internet Explorer and updates that are often automatically made to your existing version may no longer have support for this language. It is my understanding this may be due to a copyright dispute.
I am changing as quickly as I am able to CSS menus, a system which essentially relies on the same coding as the web page itself which should clear the problem. If you are aware of any buttons that persistently do not work, I would appreciate your letting me know.

text: You guys are hoping the Colts lose the last game for the #1 pick!!!!!! Even if they don't draft Luck, that spot could be worth so much more. They probably could get a king's ransom to move down a few spots and still possibly get RGIII if he decides to come out. He could either sit for a year behind Peyton or he could be the starter from day 1. Or, just keep the pick, take Luck and hand him the keys to the car!!!!!! I will say it.....Colts need to lose this last game!!!!!!!!

to the draft
i'm not yet ready to throw the towel in on this year, but if they
dont win it all. or even if they do. they'll most likely be picking in the 26-30 pick range... with the contracts ending AFTER the draft, is there a possible draft day deal?? one deal maybe two. the past two drafts havent been productive. hudson, walker, jr havent seen anything more then garbage min.. is house/ta/davis packaged to a team for there pick. teams like the suns, spurs havent been to shy to trade out of there picks. the heat, cavs, knicks, bulls want to be in the wade lebron draft not this one. memphis, oklahoma have ALOT of young talent, would a vet help more? warriors would like ray now, draft pick and a lesser talent be enough if they're up and turner (ohio state wing player) is available.

JU Reaffirms Commitment to Division I Athletics
March 1, 2004
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville University today reaffirmed its commitment to remain a full-fledged Division I athletics program. Acting President Dr. Catherine Morgan presented the recommendations to members of the Board of Trustees Executive Committee following a study of possible alternatives as part of the University's ongoing financial and organizational restructuring efforts.
Morgan also met last week with the commissioner of the Atlantic Sun Conference, Bill Bibb, and has reassured the commissioner that Division I athletics is a vital part of Jacksonville University today and into the future.
"This is a decision that makes sense for the University from a strategic and financial standpoint," Morgan said. "But it is more about the 400-plus student-athletes who study here at Jacksonville University and the role they play in our campus community. We've looked at this decision from many angles and decided that this is what is best for our students and our university's future."
The University's commitment to Division I athletics comes on the heels the Department of Athletics being realigned under the University's Division of Student Life two weeks ago as part of a campus-wide financial restructuring plan. Under the new organization, all coaches and staff of the Athletics Department now report to Vice President for Student Life Dr. John Balog. The position of athletics director was eliminated.
JU has been competing at the Division I level since 1965 after competing as a junior college (1948-57) and four-year NAIA (1957-65) institution. The Dolphins were a charter member of the Sun Belt Conference in 1976 and then joined the Atlantic Sun Conference in 1998.
JU fields competitive NCAA Division I teams in 18 varsity sports and competes in the Atlantic Sun Conference. The football program is I-AA non-scholarship and competes in the Pioneer Football League. More than one-third of all JU's undergraduate students participate in intercollegiate athletics.

Basements in new Palo Alto houses
Original post made by Citizen on May 14, 2007
Thanks in advance for all responses.
on May 15, 2007 at 6:41 am
The basements, from what I understand, have a "steel cage" as its framing. This is for earthquakes .. its very expensive to put in a basement; though once you eat up the initial cost, the area is "free". So in a two storey house, you get the area of almost one storey free.
The basement will not be taken into account for appraisals, but its definitely not going to prevent from hiking the price. Someone that I know put in a bowling alley, other games in the basement. Their teenagers loved to hang out there instead of other public places. Now, if I had the money and I was in the market to buy a house, I would most certainly look for a house in PA with a basement !
on May 15, 2007 at 8:27 am
With the proper engineering houses built over a basement will hold up fine in an earthquake. If you are worried about basements, focus on City Hall and 525 University. The both have three story basements called parking lots.
on May 15, 2007 at 8:40 am
It would be very unwise, and I don't think you would get a permit, to put a basement in the flood plain, so check out where you are in relation to the flood plain first.

Elkhart County's RV industry has been slammed with layoffs over the past year. Hundreds more were announced on Monday.
In this economic climate, job loss is the reality for the county since nearly half of its jobs are in manufacturing. The unemployment rate in Elkhart County is nearing 20 percent, and county Leaders says diversity is what could get them out of the hole.
"We are optimistic at some point, we are going to get new jobs," says Mike Yoder, Elkhart County Commissioner.
The question is how and what type of new jobs are we talking about?
"We are particularly interested in non- RV jobs and that's already been coming," says Yoder.
He says while he's not totally giving up on the RV industry, it's time to refocus their efforts on new business, like more technology, science and health care based industries.
Yoder says they're proposing a tax phase in for an already existing business looking to expand.
If approved, it could bring at close to 70 to 100 new jobs into Elkhart County almost immediately.
Elkhart Mayor Dick Moore says the desire to buy RV's didn't go away, the money to buy them did.
He's focusing his efforts on bringing more money to Elkhart, through Barack Obama's Stimulus Package.
"I believe if we can put spending money back in people's pockets and get the cost of fuel down, I believe it will all come back," says Moore.
He says in the meantime, he is open to attracting other types of businesses.
Economic Development Corporation in Elkhart County says it's important to keep in mind who your workers are.
"We have a lot of skills related to manufacturing, so when we look to diversity the market we are looking at what other comparable or like industries or businesses hold that skill base," says Dorinda Heiden-Guss

Car flips over on M27 motorway
11:15am Wednesday 25th June 2014 in News By Rebecca Pearson, Reporter
A MAN was rushed to hospital after his car flipped onto its roof on a motorway.
Emergency crews were called to the incident between junction five and seven of the M27 at 7.40pm last night.
The 61-year-old had been driving alone on the eastbound carriageway when his black BMW flipped multiple times.
He was taken to Southampton General Hospital with minor injuries while his car was recovered.
No other vehicles were involved. It is unclear what made him lose control of his car.
Police, paramedics and fire crews had all left the scene by 9pm, having cleared the road.

Walworth County mom might face prison after child deaths
ELKHORN, Wis. (AP) -- A Walworth County woman who was sentenced to probation after her twin children drowned in a bathtub in 2011 might now face prison time.
A Janesville Gazette report says 28-year-old Melody N. Butt is accused of violating the terms of her probation. The East Troy woman faces four misdemeanor charges including possession of marijuana.
The state Department of Corrections says it's reviewing the case to decide whether Butt should be sent to prison.
She was convicted of child neglect resulting in death, after she fell asleep while the 11-month-old boy and girl were in the tub. A 10-year prison sentence was stayed, meaning she'd only serve the time if she violated probation.
The voicemail for her previous defense attorney, Joshua Klaff, was full Sunday and wouldn't accept a message.

Wow. If you could find an even swap, your 5D Mark III for a 1D Mark IV, I would do it in a heartbeat, assuming the 1D Mark IV is in excellent shape.Couldn't agree more, provided the strengths of the 1D4 vs the strengths of the 5D3 are what you require. I own both and they're a good complimentary pair. On most jobs I'll have the 70-200 on the 1D4 and 16-35II or 24-70II on the 5D3. But if it came to a toss-up, one or the other, it would be the 1D4 every single time. The 5D3 is called on when the project requires maximum IQ (short of renting MF) or complete FF wide-angle delivery.
1-Series bodies are expensive to buy new, but heavy users working in demanding situations know 100% that you get what you pay for. BTW, one sometimes overlooked advantage of the 1D4 is the 1/300 flash sync speed vs 1/200 on the 5D3.

The Rockets are worth more than the Jazz:
Yup. And here's the proof. According to Forbes, right now the Houston Rockets are considered the 5th most valuable NBA franchise!
And none of the 4 teams ahead of them on the list are from Utah.
I'm sure that hearing this fact should make a lot of people on this site very happy, considering the level of hatred reserved for the Jazz around here...

This sunday was the deadline for players to be playoff eligible if they signed with a new team. For that reason, Joe Smith and Drew Gooden were waived by their teams.
There are rumors that Joe Smith will sign with the Cavaleirs while Gooden is more likely to end up with the Spurs or Mavs. We dont have a lot of money to throw to one of these guys, but the fact that the Spurs seem to be serious contenders this year could make for a ring chasing contract. The Cavs are probably in better shape, but they wont sign both Smith and Gooden. So that leaves the Spurs and the Mavs fighitng for the remaining guy. We are second in the west, the mavs are fighting with the suns to just be in the playoffs.
What do you say PTR? Shall we get Joe Smith or Drew Gooden? Are Kurt Thomas and Oberto playing good enough lately? I think we should go at it. To me it seems like a very low risk-high reward possibilty. Lets face it, we are one piece away from the 'ship, but not a big piece.

If the pH of an acid solution is plotted against the amount of base added during a titration, the shape of the graph is called a titration curve. All acid titration curves follow the same basic shapes.
At the beginning, the solution has a low pH and climbs as the strong base is added. As the solution nears the point where all of the H+ are neutralized, the pH rises sharply and then levels out again as the solution becomes more basic as more OH- ions are added.
The first curve shows a strong acid being titrated by a strong base. There is the initial slow rise in pH until the reaction nears the point where just enough base is added to neutralize all the initial acid. This point is called the equivalence point. For a strong acid/base reaction, this occurs at pH = 7. As the solution passes the equivalence point, the pH slows its increase where the solution approaches the pH of the titration solution.

Purdue will host South Dakota State on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA women's tournament.
The 13th-ranked Boilermakers, seeded fourth, won the Big Ten tournament with a 74-70 double overtime win over Nebraska. The Boilermakers (24-8) enter the NCAA tournament on a five-game win streak.
Purdue's top scorer is Brittany Rayburn. She averaged 14.9 points per game this season and was the most outstanding player of the conference tournament. KK Houser, the team's No. 3 scorer, had 19 points in the Big Ten final.
South Dakota State (24-8) won the Summit League regular season and tournament titles. The 13th-seeded Jackrabbits defeated Missouri-Kansas City 78-77 to earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
The Purdue-South Dakota State winner will play the South Carolina-Eastern Michigan winner on Monday.
