As a photographer, I have always thought of Epson printers as being top of the line. That is until I purchased their pro model 4900 wide bodied printer. On paper it had everything a photographer could ask for. High dynamic range inks, wide body and of course Epson's reputation. From almost the day I got it, I started having problems with the print head clogging. When you pay almost $3000 for the hardware and over $1000 for a set of ink cartridges, you certainly do not expect these kind of…Continue

All of the big announcements in one place
Very few people would argue that this E3 was one of the best that Nintendo has had in recent memory. Starting with the Digital Event and the amiibos, new games, and the announcement of Mii Fighters being included in Super Smash Bros.
Then, Nintendo stole the night with the Super Smash Bros. Invitational, as 16 of the best Smash Bros. players from around the world duked it out for Smash supremacy. For the rest of the week, Nintendo gave unprecedented coverage and live gameplay of its games through the Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3 2014. All of these made E3 2014 an event that no Nintendo fan will forget any time soon.
One of the biggest announcements of E3 was that Nintendo will soon be releasing figurines for the Wii U which use the NFC capabilities of the GamePad to interact with at least 5 games: Super Smash Bros. 4, Mario Kart 8, Yoshi's Wooly World, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, and Mario Party 10. While we do not have release dates for most of these games, we do know that they should be released this Holiday season.
The main competition for amiibo will be Skylanders and Disney Infinity, but the fact that amiibo are usable across multiple games, combined with a similar price point, will make them a much better value than their competition.
The beginning of the Nintendo Digital Event set the tone for the entirety of E3 with Reggie and Mr. Iwata brawling it out. The announcement of the Mii Fighter in three different styles (brawler, swordsman, and gunner) is a very welcome addition to the Super Smash Bros. line-up. The customizable move set will add even more hours of replay value. These characters will not be available in online multiplayer, which is definitely a good idea to help avoid the cyber bullying that runs rampant in many online gaming communities.
Along with the Mii Fighters, Nintendo revealed two more characters: Palutena, from Kid Icarus, and Namco Bandai's Pac-Man. Palutena's introduction trailer also hints at an appearance by Dark Pit in the game. Pac-Man was introduced during the Media Roundtable led by Mr. Sakurai to an uproar of applause. Pac-Man's trailer also announced that Mr. Game and Watch will be returning.
In a genre dominated by blood, gore, and graphics, Nintendo has found a way to get people excited about a family-friendly third-person shooter: Splatoon. The game plays similarly to paintball, but with the purpose of covering a majority of the arena in your team's color of ink before the time limit is reached. The strangest, and most interesting, aspect of the game is the ability for players to switch between squids and people. When playing as a squid, one can move quickly through your team's ink, while refilling your ink reservoir. Then, the ink collected is used while you are a person to cover the arena or send your opponent's back to their home base.
Only a few different weapon types were on display at E3, but multiple strategies have already been developed. Some teams kept a player in the back whose job it was to cover everything behind the front line in ink, thereby increasing the team's overall coverage. Other teams liked to leave a player or two lying in wait, submerged beneath the ink as a squid, waiting to spring a trap on any opposing player who wandered into their territory. It will be amazing to see all the strategies people will come up with after the game is released.
Nintendo had many exciting release announcements, including an entirely new IP: Code Name S.T.E.A.M.. Code Name S.T.E.A.M. is a Real Time Strategy game that is new to the 3DS. The game will be based in a steampunk fantasy version of London and will star an elite unit of steam-powered soldiers assembled by Abraham Lincoln. The game also incorporates elements of a third-person shooter, as seen in the video above.
Other exciting games that were announced by Nintendo were Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and Yoshi's Wooly World. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is based off of the minigames in Super Mario 3D World, where the player controlled Captain Toad through maze-like levels while attempting to find items. The game will again utilize the GamePad's gyroscopic abilities to allow the player to look around. Yoshi's Wooly World looks to be similar to recent Yoshi games with a new, wooly design. There are still a ton of secrets to be found in each level, and while the levels are relatively straight forward, players will still have a hard time finding everything there is to find.
One of the biggest questions from Nintendo fans about the long-teased release of Bayonetta 2 on Wii U has been will Bayonetta be released on Wii U as well to allow players who never had the chance to play it before to catch up on the series. Nintendo answered during the Digital Event and announced that Bayonetta will come free with a copy of Bayonetta 2. This announcement is another excellent example of Nintendo listening to their fan base and trying to provide value to the customer.
The most anticipated Nintendo game, or, arguably, most anticipated game, period, of E3 was The Legend of Zelda for Wii U. Fans have been waiting a long time for a Zelda game in HD, and the recent success of the open world model in A Link Between Worlds has left many people very excited for what might be coming - a Wii U release using a similar model. There was only a cut scene and no release date (or year). This lack of a release year may be disconcerting to some, but Zelda games are always worth the wait.
In a truly landmark event, Nintendo hosted a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament the night after its Digital Event. This tournament included 16 of the best Super Smash Bros. players from around the world, along with 4 media and 4 celebrity guests. Viewers at E3 and at home were treated to an excellent demonstration of what the new Super Smash Bros. games will be capable. Hopefully the success of this event will inspire Nintendo to host more tournaments and maybe even give the initial spark needed to start the process of creating truly competitive online play.
What are you most excited about from E3? Was there anything you wanted to see there that we did not get? Let us know in the comments below and don't forget to follow on Twitter @WiisWorld and @dozemaster5000!

My Latest Rescue Fosters

Posted 25 November 2012 - 09:38 PM
I do volunteer work for a rescue group here. As well as fostering the littlies when I can I also do the rescue work which involves picking up the chosen dogs from the pound,taking them to the room for their flea wash etc incl a vet check,I also do photography of the dogs on my rostered day.
These little guys I was given when they were just roughly nearly 2 wks old,they hadn't opened their eyes so of course I was having to bottle feed them all. I had seen the mum when I went to pick the pups up and she looked a very slim girl,up to say my knee if a bit shorter. She had the colourings/markings of a red heeler with possibly jack russell looks.
Well,I can see the Heeler in the pups mainly with the leg colourings but as for the rest who knows..
One is def what I call the odd one out-Chalky the black one as he is larger and has longer legs. These are some pics I have on them not too long after they all had their eyes open. Will post some up to date ones later on when I can sort them out.
Oh,and will say now my all time pick of the litter is Maggie, such a gentle sweet little thing AND so very active & bouncy compared to her siblings. Close behind is Nucky, I think he is learning a few " How to be cute" tips from Maggie as he is becoming a little similar to her. Angie has a home waiting for her & I'm pretty sure Maggie has too. Just haven't had confirmation yet.

Bahahah love the TMX weighing. Cute!
Posted 26 November 2012 - 08:38 PM
Aaaw, the cute liddle puppies.
Posted 26 November 2012 - 11:31 PM
They are sweet, and I laughed at the improvised TMX weigh-in too
Any staying with you ? I vote for Maggie if that's the case......
Posted 28 November 2012 - 10:46 PM
Lol,def cute lil puppies..
Mewsings,if I could one of them would def stay with me but I have 3 dogs of my own already and aint allowed any more. Of course Maggie would be my pick. She ticks all the boxes! Sorry will add updated pics soon its just I been a little slack..
They went into the vets today for their checkup and first vaccination. Chalky,the black one weighed in at 2.5kg whilst the other 3 were all 2kg.
Spikey,something I want to ask you & I want your opinion. Chalky has been showing some terrible shyness when people & kids have been here. He runs and hides.His face is also a very worried look too.The first lady & child that came through he actually hid under the computer desk & even growled.With his litter siblings he is very much the top pup. Can you give me any suggestions on what we can do to try & get him a little more confident around people?
Posted 29 November 2012 - 06:12 AM
I will do - am off to work in a moment, but will post some suggestions tonight. I'm sure Casime and the others who are breeders/trainers can also make some suggestions too.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 01:05 PM
They are very cute
Posted 29 November 2012 - 01:07 PM
Are they named after Boardwalk Empire characters?
Posted 01 December 2012 - 05:49 AM
I love the pics, as for the weighing scales
Posted 01 December 2012 - 07:34 AM
I haven't forgotten you!
Posted 01 December 2012 - 12:59 PM
Lol,Spikey..Its more like I keep forgetting here.
Yes,Steppy,all named after Boardwalk Empire they are. We have a habit of naming our fosters after characters in tv programmes. I've had a few True Blood pups too.
A pic I just took minutes ago whilst they were sleeping.
Now an update of the problem child Chalky.
Yesterday evening we had a young female come through wanting to check the fella's out. She came in,sat her self down on the floor and of course our social butterfly Miss Maggie was the first to greet her and want all the attention. Chalky came up tail waggling and sniffed her knee. She was able to pat him & even picked him up for a little cuddle then popped him down. Then he decided to go all shy again. He didn't run & hide though just hung around. The female was very softly spoken too which I thought may have been a bonus for him plus the fact she sat down at his level & wasn't over towering him? She studied him while he was playing with the others too.
Now before this lady we had a male friend over with his kids. This male has a very loud voice & doesn't know how to interact around dogs as he has never been brought up with any(sad imo)). Chalky again wasn't very keen & ran off. Even when the male tried to catch him with his hands around his back end Chalky squealed & and tried to run off which he did when I asked the male to let him go.
So I'm very relieved to see that Chalky is improving slowly. Female has said she will be thinking over night which of the 2 she prefers & will get back to the co-ordinator of her decision. But in this job I have learnt not to hold my breath as people will say to me I will take a pup but never get back to the co-ordinator.
Maggie def still has a home to go too but sadly the person whom wanted Angie has not bothered to pay when she said so she is now back up for adoption. Maggie will be going to her new home on the 7th Dec.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 07:59 PM
They are just so cute!
Dogs have very different personalities, as you've discovered. A couple of the more timid and shy dogs I've had through school have had very dominant litter mates. They're more reserved because they're lower in the pecking order, and they get harassed if they usurp alpha privileges.
And some dogs just take a bit longer.
So what to do.
I'd suggest that he'd benefit from some non-litter time, where he gets the opportunity to be the only dog involved in the interactions with people. I'd also try to organise as many different interactions as you can. Lots of socialisation, and absolutely no soothing if he becomes frightened. We do not want to reinforce that he has something to worry about. If he show fear, he is ignored or put away.
The other thing I'd do is have people offer treats without him having to do anything for them. Not even approach them or acknowledge them. NO touching or acknowledgement from the people, just the treat. The result will be that he will begin to wonder if all people aren't sources of little food miracles, and he'll be keener on interacting with people he doesn't know. After a while, you replace the 'ignore' with some attention.
Basically, we're replacing the undesired behaviour with one we like, with a lot of positive reinforcement.
Hope that helps get you started!
Posted 05 December 2012 - 10:02 AM
Thanks for that excellent advice Spikey. I have been taking him out in my arms for about an hour each day where he has been seeing/meeting all kinds of people. The first outing he was pretty much a little worry wart & like a statue but on the second day he was showing some interest and his tail slightly wagged when people touched him.This happened without the treats . I will use treats now though & see how it goes. Just wish some people would come through to meet him in the view to adopt him but its been very quiet.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 03:27 AM
Just thought I would do an update here. My 2 most favourite foster pups have now gone to their new owners and I'm so happy cos I know they are the best owners for these 2. 2 very lucky puppies for sure.
This is Nucky he has gone to a couple with an older teen. I know the teen boy will look after him well. His parents had let him have a pup as an early Xmas present from them.
The next to go was Maggie,Lil Miss Princess as I called her often. She was a scene stealer and I could have sold her 4 times over. Everyone wanted her but I had to tell them shes already spoken for.
The teenage daughter and her young brother came to pick her up. Maggie will be adored in this family also. Both of the teenage girls were smitten with her.
That just leaves me with Angie and the problem child Chalky now. I'm sure Angie will be the next to leave sooner or later but as for Chalky I'm having a feeling he will take awhile due to his timid tendencies but I'm going to be working so very hard on that to boost his confidence.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 09:41 PM
I feel like Im talking to myself here but anyways if anyone is following Lil miss Angie has been rehomed to a lovely lady on a station in Wiluna. Such a very lucky girl I recon. She has another old rescue dog to keep her company plus sheep and cows. Im sure she is soon going to get used to cows up close..Lol! I have Chalky left with me now & I think he will be with me in the new year.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 11:10 PM
Been reading also. Gorgeous pups, and very lucky to find their forever homes.
Hoping Chalky finds a forever home soon.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 10:14 AM
Yea, I'm hoping someone special will come along for him.If not this year but next. Meanwhile I have brought him home another playmate, a little JR X of 12 wks old. Don't think he will be here long though. Man,but if this is what JR's are like I'm glad I don't own one. This guy is just so active it isn't funny! The moment he wakes up he is on the go every where. The only time he stops is when he is asleep..Lol!
He is parading around in his new dog t-shirt I received yesterday..

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Ś A flawless race gave Jimmie Johnson a perfect year at Daytona International Speedway and put him on another exclusive list.
Johnson became the first driver in 31 years to sweep Daytona International Speedway, accomplishing the feat with a dominating run Saturday night for his fourth win of the season. The Daytona 500 winner is the first driver since Bobby Allison in 1982, and the fifth overall, to win both races in a season at Daytona.
ōI donÆt think I made a bad move tonight. IÆm pretty proud of that,ö Johnson said. ōGosh, growing up in Southern California and watching Bobby Allison ... to do anything Bobby has done is pretty special.ö
The five-time NASCAR champion was the leader on the restart for a two-lap sprint to the finish in overtime Saturday night. He held off Kevin Harvick on the restart, and then pulled out front to a sizeable lead. Tony Stewart moved into second and may have been timing his attempt to make a pass for the lead when a caution in the middle of the pack froze the field.
ōWe knew it was coming,ö Johnson said of the late accident. ōGetting down to the end of these things, we knew it was going to get exciting.ö
Stewart was second, followed by Kevin Harvick in a Chevrolet sweep. Both thought JohnsonÆs fast car, once able to get out front, was untouchable. He led 94 of the 161 laps.
ōThese things are such a crapshoot ... all 43 guys have a shot at winning the race,ö Stewart said. ōThey definitely had a fast car. I mean, they had a fast car at the 500, they had a fast car here, so it makes sense.ö
Harvick thought the outcome would have been different if anyone had been able to get a push past Johnson.
ōI think we could have done the same thing in clean air,ö Harvick said. ōI think the front car is in a lot better control.ö
Clint Bowyer was fourth and team co-owner Michael Waltrip fifth in a pair of Toyotas. Then came Kurt Busch, Jamie McMurray and Dale Earnhardt Jr. as Chevrolets took six of the top eight spots and seven of the top 10.
Casey Mears was ninth in a Ford, followed by Ryan Newman. But NASCAR was reviewing the finishing order long after the race ended.
The race was stopped for almost nine minutes for a six-car accident with 11 laps remaining that included yet another vicious hit for Denny Hamlin.
HamlinÆs car inexplicably turned right and spun hard into the frontstretch wall. It then turned back into traffic and Hamlin was tagged hard by AJ Allmendinger in a hit that caused his car to lift off the ground.
Both he and Allmendinger had to collect themselves after climbing from their wrecked cars, but both were evaluated and released from the infield care center. Hamlin missed four races earlier this season with a compression fracture in a vertebra in his lower back, and took a hard hit last Sunday at Kentucky.
He tested Monday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but had to be evaluated by a doctor on site before he got in the car. And his race-ending accident came after he had climbed back from a lap down from an earlier incident involving fellow Toyota driver Martin Truex Jr.
Also involved in the late accident with Hamlin and Allmendinger were Matt Kenseth, HamlinÆs Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, and Jeff Gordon.
ōI saw the wreck and tried to slow down and miss it, but just not much I could do,ö Kenseth said.
The race resumed with seven laps remaining and Johnson leading teammate Kasey Kahne. Johnson then made a strange move to the high line to block Marcos Ambrose and it might have cost him the race as it put Kahne out front in the bottom lane of traffic.
But as the two Hendrick drivers drag-raced around Daytona, Ambrose clipped the side of Johnson as he attempted a sudden lane change. He slammed into the side of Kahne, causing Kahne to spin and hit an inside retaining wall for another caution with five laps remaining.
ōJimmie got a little loose or he just didnÆt see my move coming, and I split him coming off of (turn) two,ö Ambrose said. ōHe came down to check the spot and I was already there and he just bounced us straight into (Kahne).ö
Kahne angrily tossed his head-and-neck restraint into his car after climbing from the wreckage.
The race resumed in overtime with Johnson leading Harvick, Bowyer, Stewart and McMurray. He wasnÆt challenged as neither Stewart nor Harvick could make a move before the race-ending caution.
ōJimmie just was good,ö Stewart said. ōJimmie was just really, really good. We were just a little bit off of him.ö
Added Harvick: ōI really thought we were in the right spot. ... Our line just never developed. IÆm a little disappointed because I really thought we were in the right spot.ö

Erotic, brutal, mysterious and moving, The Zero Train takes place at a lonely Soviet railway settlement run by the secret police.

The denoument leads to madness and murder. The Zero Train is also a dense web of symbols examining the nature of life lived in the service of an ideal neither known or understood -- a study of the ordinary individual under Stalinism.

SINGAPORE, Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- While the Asia-Pacific is still the preferred off-shore destination for contact centers, keen focus on quality customer service has attracted business from domestic enterprises across the region. Organizations have begun to leverage customer service as a key differentiator to stand out in an intensely competitive environment. This higher interest in customer services has triggered investments in the advanced contact center features and capabilities.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.contactcenter.frost.com), Asia-Pacific Contact Center Applications Market, 2011, finds that in 2011, the market registered more than 13 percent annual growth. To meet the rising customer demand, the region recorded a 9.7 percent growth in contact center agent seats to reach 2.5 million, increasing the investment in contact center applications.
The market will sustain double digit growth in 2012 despite the overall economic slowdown due to the continued deregulation of markets and growth in verticals such as online retail, telecom, government and education. Among countries, Japan, Australia, Korea, the Philippines and India were the key growth markets in 2011. By 2018, India and China are likely to account for over 30 percent of the total market revenue.
Multi-channel conversation and social media integration has gained extreme mind share across markets and is expected to grow rapidly across Asia-Pacific markets. Contact center applications such as multimedia and speech found high uptake, particularly in Australia, due to the growing importance of self service and social media. Even high-growth markets like India, China and the Philippines are investing in self-service applications and optimization tools. BFSI and Telco continue to be the leading verticals in terms of investment and are expected to drive the growth of the contact center applications market, during the forecast period..
"Cost is a vital purchase factor for contact center operations in the Asia-Pacific," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Manager Krishna Baidya. "Therefore, several contact centers are looking ways to optimize their operations, generating strong demand for workforce Optimization (WFO) and analytical tools."
Across the region, many organizations are shying away from setting up in-house contact centers and instead, are seeking the services of small-sized contact centers offering customer contact services. Despite end users being at varying stages of growth, contact center spending has increased across the board.
"Meanwhile, the rising popularity of cloud computing has encouraged the growth of alternative models such as hosted contact center service with its pay-per-use model," noted Baidya. "This is an attractive option in the Asia-Pacific, as it lowers upfront investments and prompts higher investments in contact center services."

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API.

This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

Ben Nelson to oppose OLC nominee Johnsen because of her 'outspoken pro-choice views.'
"Ben Nelson to oppose OLC nominee Johnsen because of her 'outspoken pro-choice views.'"
Greg Sargent reports that centrist Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson (NE) — who voted to confirm both Sam Alito and John Roberts — will oppose Dawn Johnsen's nomination to lead the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. Nelson says he opposes Johnsen, a noted legal scholar and outspoken critic of the Bush administration's torture program, because of her pro-choice views:
Senator Nelson is very concerned about the nomination of Dawn Johnson, based on her previous position as Counsel for NARAL. He believes that the Office of Legal Counsel is a position in which personal views can have an impact and is concerned about her outspoken pro-choice views on abortion.
Nelson is buying into the right-wing's war against Johnsen. Outspoken anti-choice Republican Rep. Chris Smith (NJ) said Johnsen has a "a prejudice against motherhood, the family and a fundamental respect for all human life." The National Review's Andy McCarthy claimed she would be a "culture-war agitator." Republicans have threatened a filibuster against her.

I've been transfecting some cells with LacZ expressing constructs, fixing them and then staining with X-Gal using Ferri and Ferrocyanide to make them blue and see where my reporter is expressed. This protocol works really well but I only get a few stained cells because the transfection isn't very efficient and my construct is low expression.
My supervisor suggested that I try using NBT instead of the cyanides, because it is apparently more sensitive therefore more cells will show up. The protocol that she has given me from an old paper said to dissolve the NBT powder in 100% ethanol at 100mg/ml and use 4ul of this per mL of staining solution.
I tried this and straight away I could see there was a problem - the powder was no where near dissolved. I did some research and found that apparently NBT is only soluble in ethanol at 5mg/ml, so I diluted the solution down to 5mg/ml in 100% ethanol and used 80ul/ml.
The powder was 99.9% dissolved so I added it to a solution of PBS and 5mg/ml of X-Gal (dissolved in Dimethyl Formamide). I added it to my fixed cells and put them in the dark to incubate at 37 degrees C for a few hours, like I normally would with the X-Gal and cyanides.
After 2 hours I checked to see if the stain was coming up - all I could see was a cloudy yellow solution with precipitate and cells floating around in it. None of my cells stained purple like they were meant to. They all looked really unhappy.
Do anyone have any ideas of how I could fix the staining protocol? Is it just that my ratios of X-gal to NBT are off, or is it because I dissolved the NBT in ethanol and not DMSO/DMF, which I know is how most people do it (to do this I would have to order more NBT powder, which I don't want to do unless I have to). Would the DMSO/DMF do anything to my cells? Could it be that I made the stain in PBS and not something else like water?
Any help is appreciated!

Ethanol, DMF and DMSO are all toxic to the cells - ethanol will probably be tolerated to the highest level but you had about 8% in your final concentration - this is toxic for many yeasts, let alone eukaryotic cells.

Emily Boone, Samuel Smith earn diving titles
Emily Boone and Samuel Smith may have each enjoyed their first Knoxville-area Interscholastic Swim League diving championships Friday night, but they do have some differences.
For starters, Boone is a senior at Catholic, while Smith is a home-schooled freshman from Blount County.
Smith has also qualified for the Olympic Trials in the 10-meter platform and platform synchronized, while Boone has focused more on local competition.
One link they have, however, is Sean Letsinger. The former Catholic and Tennessee diver is Boone's coach at Catholic, while Smith's 531.10 points over 11 dives at UT's Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center fell only about 40 points short of Letsinger's meet record.
Boone was quick to credit Letsinger as a key to her success.
"He's a good coach because he has good experience and he knows what to do. In between dives he tells us what to work on," said Boone.
Boone's score of 396 put her ahead of runner-up Erica Lewis of Hardin Valley (353.60), unattached diver Phoebe Stark (345.40), Lisa Keller of Hardin Valley (329.60), Anna Buckman of Farragut (320.05) and Caylyn Reed of Catholic (315.45).
Smith, meanwhile, appeared to emulate Letsinger's outstanding high school career with his dives, including his nearly flawless reverse dive pike.
"It was the first time I've ever gotten 10s," he said.
Finishing behind Smith were Douglas Rogerson of Farragut (398.70), P.J. Donovan of Maryville (375.55), Forrest Blais of Hardin Valley (343.05), Cory Anderson of Hardin Valley (308.60) and Galen Erickson of Webb (295.60).
Jacob Siler and Cody Sims also finished among the top divers, but they were classified as exhibition divers because they are not yet in ninth grade.
While Smith's high scores brought excitement to onlookers, he managed to take the local meet with more of a low-key reaction.
After all, he has already done well in national meets.
"It's more of just a have-fun meet, but the state will be a different story," he said.
Boone, meanwhile, had finished third in the girls division the last two years behind state champion Lisa Bogosian, so she was overjoyed and a little surprised with her victory. She had a close battle with Stark in a recent practice meet and was expecting possibly the same results again.
"I knew it was going to be pretty tough to compete with her again, but I knew if I stayed consistent with my dives, I could do it," Boone said.
Swimming events start today with finals beginning at 6 p.m.
