NEW YORK — Private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management is planning to sell its stake in Freedom Group, maker of the Bushmaster rifle, following the Newtown, Conn., school shootings.
On Friday, 26 people were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S history. The gunman, Adam Lanza, used a .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle during the shootings.
Cerberus said in a statement Tuesday that it was deeply saddened by Friday's events. The firm said that it will hire a financial adviser to help with the process of selling its Freedom Group interests.
Cerberus said that money made from the stake sale will be returned to its investors.

The butcher said, "Yes."
The man replies, "I'll bet you $50 that you can't reach up and touch that meat hanging on the hooks up there."
The butcher said, "I'm not betting on that."
"But I thought you were a gambling man?" the man retorts.
"I am," said the butcher, "but the steaks are too high."
That joke made me wonder how many people consider if the stakes might be too high to start gambling or keep gambling, especially since gambling has some major setbacks. In the introduction to his book, "The Free Drink: The Gambling Addiction Epidemic," author Michael G. Borresen wrote, "The gambling industry has given birth to millions of sick addicted compulsive or pathological gamblers who are caught up in the fantasy of the gambling addiction disease epidemic worldwide. This disease of the mind has reached epidemic proportions and is growing at a fast rate."
Borresen, a former gambling addict himself, added, "The gambling disease is a hidden disease because the illness is an addiction of the mind that is a mental, psychological, and a behavioral addiction. Powerful gambling addiction is a clinical disease that is progressive in nature. Gambling addiction can start out as recreational gambling and then turn into problem gambling and then to compulsive gambling and finally into a full blown pathological gambling disorder."
The Mega Millions Jackpot that reached some $640 million, becoming the largest jackpot in U.S. history, had people coming out to gamble who had never bought a ticket before. Using the theme, "You can't win if you don't play," millions took the bait and ultimately gave away their hard-earned money in a sluggish economy.
In his book "Gambling in America," Baylor University professor Earl Grinols estimates that addicted gamblers cost the United States between $32.4 billion and $53.8 billion a year. In addition to causing untold financial problems for countless people, it also produces fractured relationships and a form of frustration that can slowly affect one's mental and physical health.
Dr. Timothy Fong, a co-director of the gambling studies program and an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of California, said, "We think of gambling addiction as a silent killer."
Even if you are not in the small percentage of people who are diagnosed with the psychiatric disorder of gambling addiction, there is an even greater danger for Christians who wish to live by Bible principles.
At Luke 12:15, Jesus said, "Watch out! Guard yourself against all kinds of greed. After all, one's life isn't determined by one's possessions, even when someone is very wealthy." — Common English Bible.
On his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus also stated, "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be loyal to the one and have contempt for the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." — Common English Bible."
It is not difficult to find lotto winners who lost themselves, their families, their happiness and their money — wishing they had never won — all because they did not guard themselves against all kinds of greed. Some have even lost their lives due to stress and murder plots to possess what they have.
It reminds us of the words at 1Timothy 6:9-10, which says, "People who want to be rich fall into all sorts of temptations and traps. They are caught by foolish and harmful desires that drag them down and destroy them. The love of money causes all kinds of trouble. Some people want money so much that they have given up their faith and caused themselves a lot of pain." — Contemporary English Version.
Have you seen this sort of self-destructive behavior by those who are determined to be rich and risk what they have by gambling? As a child, I saw first-hand the destructive nature of gambling and its impact on my family. Millions are aware of its snares but decide to reach out for something they crave without prayerfully considering that "the stakes are too high."
1Corinthians 6:10 says, "the greedy" will not inherit the kingdom of God. — New International Version. Greed can be more costly than we might imagine. Would risking your family, your mental, physical and spiritual health, make the stakes too high for you?
Millions have decided to heed Jesus' advice at Matthew 6:19-21, "Stop storing up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal. Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." — New World Translation.
Is it better to share what we have than risk it on the odds of getting rich? You decide. But the odds are always in our favor when we trust in God for success and do not bet on gambling.

Bowers and Wilkins 685 S2
Editors' note, April 16, 2008 The rating on this review has been lowered from 7.7 to 7.5 due to changes in the competitive marketplace.
Sony's entry-level SXRD-based front projector, the VPL-VW60, is the successor to last year's price-busting VPL-VW50. Also as a 1080p resolution projector with the same $4,999 list price, it faces stiffer competition these days with more 1080p projectors available for lower prices. Based on my findings with the company's flagship VPL-VW200, I had high hopes that the VPL-VW60 would exhibit the same kind of greatly improved color fidelity. I presumed wrong however, as primary and secondary colors unfortunately remain inaccurate. The good news is that Sony has improved its black level performance significantly and added a couple of useful features that help improve overall picture quality over the previous model. Despite a couple of performance issues, it is difficult to argue against the Sony VPL-VW60's value, as it still outperforms just about everything in its price range.
I found the VPL-VW60 stylish and elegant, especially for the price, with a sleek and sexy design. Its rounded edges and curves suggest the shape of an eye, a look first introduced by Sony with the $30,000 Qualia 004 several years ago. Finished in a glossy gunmetal gray, the VPL-VW60 is more attractive than any of its competition. It has a compact design and is light in weight, measuring 15.5 inches wide by 6.8 inches tall by 18.6 inches deep and weighing 24.3 pounds. All of the connections, as well as the Menu, Power, Lens, and four-way rocker keys, are located on one side of the chassis.
Sony's remote control is a simple, easy-to-use design. It is fully backlit with the push of the Light button on the upper left of the unit. It is slender and fits well in the hand, and the menu, rocker, and Enter buttons are all within easy thumb's reach. The internal menu system is identical to last year's VPL-VW50, and I found it intuitive and easy to navigate.
The VPL-VW60 has a large number of features, most of which are designed to help fine-tune the picture. Zoom, Focus, and Lens shift features are all electronic, which is a pleasant surprise given the price of the projector--I don't know of another projector in this price range that has those electronic adjustments. However, I do wish there was a bit more range on the vertical lens shift.
The Cinema Black Pro menu contains the settings for the Iris: Auto 1, Auto 2, Manual, and Off. I don't recommend ever using either of the Auto modes, as they shift blacks up and down depending on whether the content in the picture is bright or dark. I used the Manual mode and dropped the value down to 45 for slightly darker blacks. Settings below that dropped the light output down too low on my 80-inch wide Stewart Grayhawk RS screen.
As expected, Sony includes the usual picture modes and color temperature presets. Modes include Dynamic, Standard, Cinema, User 1, User 2, and User 3. Color temperature selections include: High, Middle, Low, Custom 1, Custom 2, and Custom 3. I used Custom 3 as it came closest to the broadcast standard color temperature of 6,500K.

We found this cute Latina out and about on the main strip. She was sitting by herself, which to us is an open invitation. We got to know her a little bit and felt the vibe that she wanted some of my friend Wesley and his pipes. It didn't take long for her to put his cock in her mouth. Wesley pounded her phat ass nice and proper. He then laid his main pipe on her tits and blasted her face.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] EU/UK - Eurosceptics up ante for Britain's Cameron ahead of EU vote

(BRUSSELS) - Britain's hardline eurosceptic party on Sunday upped the ante
for Prime Minister David Cameron, offering a tactical election ploy ahead
of a divisive parliamentary vote on an EU membership referendum.
As Cameron joined European Union leaders at a crisis summit on the
eurozone, arch-eurosceptic rivals the UK Independence Party (UKIP) said
they could step aside for candidates from Cameron's Conservative party run
in a future election if they vote on Monday to hold the referendum.
"In the past, I have made sure we didn't stand (in elections) against
candidates who vote on conscience and for their country," UKIP Euro MP
Nigel Farage told AFP on the sidelines of the summit.
"All I'm saying is we will give serious consideration to similar
decisions," he said, holding out an invitation to rebels tempted to break
Cameron's Conservative whip.
The leading eurosceptic figure in the European Parliament, Farage's party
chalked up a million votes at the last general election in Britain that
handed Cameron office in a coalition with euro-friendly Liberal Democrats.
Foreign Secretary William Hague warned on Saturday that the proposed
referendum on EU membership would hurt Britain's economy.
Hague said he would like to see some powers returned from Brussels to
London, a possible concession ahead of the referendum vote.
Monday's vote in the House of Commons is non-binding but politically
significant with up to 85 Tory lawmakers tipped to defy Cameron's order to
them to toe the party line.
A parliamentary committee ordered the vote after more than 100,000 Britons
signed a petition asking for a choice on the country's EU membership.

I like Spain. The people range from muy freaky to muy gentil and it is always a joy talking to them. Additionally they have rather my height than the ones from the Teutonian tribe, which makes it much easier to integrate for me, too. And the country has some exceptional beautiful spots offside the normal touristic routes - off the record. Quite a while ago I have been to Tossa de Mar, which lays a one and a half hour cardrive away from Barcelona. I was there in January and I couldn´t believe that sun has already such energy to shine at the fullest until the evening. It is not extraordinary hot, but anyway, it´s the light that makes the magic of happiness. And not only, of couse your camera apreciates this little extra of light, too. I would recommend going there in the off-season, hence the hotels, menus and everything connected is quite a bit cheaper. Also you will have a lot of space on the beach and in the tapas-bars for yourself - I mean, there is always the option to take a boat to mallorca or Ibiza, if you are keen on company - there you are definitely not alone - at no time. In Tossa you have a little castello and quite a few ancient streets. Nonetheless, the prime Highlights are certainly the silence of the sea and of course the beach, which gave the city the name. There are three beaches, which are attached straight to the road, but that doesn´t disturb you, because traffic is minor in this area. And for me everything was centered around the rescue-ring at the beach, almost like the core of this place. http://www.tossademar.com/

Police union calls for 12% pay hike, $3,000 stipend to live in city
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com February 7, 2013 5:18AM
Chicago Police officers are demanding a 12 percent pay raise over two years, a reduction in health care contributions and a $3,000-a-year residency stipend. | Dan Luedert~Sun-Times Media

Chicago Police officers are demanding a 12 percent pay raise over two years, a reduction in health-care contributions and a $3,000-a-year residency stipend to compensate them for being forced to live and send their kids to school in the city.
The Fraternal Order of Police also wants to cut in half — from 20 percent to 10 percent — the share of promotions based on merit and change the name from "merit" — which, they claim, makes a political process sound apolitical — to "management" or "administrative" promotions.
To prevent the steady stream of retirements from further depleting the ranks, the union wants Supt. Garry McCarthy to establish "minimum staffing levels" and forward them to the union on a quarterly basis.
The Police Department equivalent of clunkers — squad cars and other vehicles with more than 90,000 miles on the odometer — would be mandatorily retired from patrol, under the union's proposal. The FOP proposal also states that the city "must provide adequate heating, hot water, air-conditioning and sanitary facilities."
Costly income supplements that Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been urged to eliminate would increase under the union's plan — to $3,620 a year in 2014 for duty availability pay and $2,100 for the annual uniform allowance.
In 2005, an arbitrator gave police a 15.5 percent pay raise over four years in exchange for a 33 percent increase in officers' contributions to health insurance.
The FOP now wants to reduce those contributions — from 1.29 percent to 1 percent of an officer's paycheck for single coverage and from 2.47 percent to 2 percent for families. But the union is offering an incentive plan to help the city reduce its sick pay costs.
Police officers who stay off the medical rolls would get a $1,500 bonus for two years without sick time not related to on-duty injuries, $4,000 for five straight years and $5,000 for 10 years without taking medical leave.
Union sources described the 12 percent pay raise demand as a way to make up for losses suffered by rank-and-file police officers in the last contract.
It happened after then-Mayor Richard M. Daley initially offered a 16.1 percent pay raise, then yanked it off the table after the economy tanked. That paved the way for an arbitrator to award rank-and-file police officers a 10 percent pay increase over five years.
In addition, the union wants officers to reach their maximum salary rate after 20 years, instead of waiting 25 years to achieve the top pay bracket.
Starting pay for Chicago Police officers currently stands at $43,104 a year, $61,530 after the first 12 months and $86,130 after 25 years of continuous service.
Under the union's plan, officers would also be allowed to "sell back" up to 200 hours of compensatory time in each calendar year as well as all unused vacation days at the end of the 13th police pay period.
Although the police contract expired on June 30, Emanuel has not made a financial offer.
A side-by-side comparison distributed to FOP unit reps and obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times includes several proposals that could be controversial with rank-and-file officers.
A generous sick leave policy that allows officers to take up to 365 days off every two years would be changed to include full pay and benefits for 12 months over a four-year period.
City Hall wants the right to order hair tests as well as urine tests. Supplementary employment would have to be cleared with the city in writing, capped at 20 hours a week and cut off within four hours of the start of an officer's tour of duty.
The city would be free to use disciplinary information in "not sustained" files alleging criminal conduct, excessive force or verbal abuse in future disciplinary proceedings against an officer for a period of seven years after the alleged incident.
Effective July 1, sustained files "shall be maintained for the duration of an officer's career and may be used against the officer for any appropriate purpose," the city's proposal states.
Four years ago, Daley's decision to rescind his 16.1 percent police pay raise offer prompted the FOP to stage a raucous protest — with thousands of officers marching around City Hall chanting "Daley sucks."
It was timed to embarrass the mayor during the final Chicago visit by the site-selection committee for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Rio de Janeiro won the Olympic sweepstakes after Chicago's embarrassing first-round flameout.
Chicago taxpayers subsequently dodged a fiscal bullet when an arbitrator awarded rank-and-file police officers a 10 percent pay increase over five years, their smallest increase in 30 years and a far cry from the FOP's initial demand for a 24 percent raise.
The city also won several key provisions aimed at improving police performance, including random alcohol testing for on-duty officers; mandatory drug and alcohol testing when officers discharge their weapons, and the addition of Ecstasy and anabolic steroids to drug testing.
More recently, the FOP has been engaged in a heated war of words with Emanuel about the union's demand for more police hiring to ease a severe manpower shortage.
Last week, Emanuel and McCarthy announced plans to shift 200 more officers from desk jobs to street duty. FOP President Mike Shields denounced the move as a political shell game.

After looking at everything we went out and looked at the dish. First thing he says is that baby is six years old or more (it was).
He calls and gets me approved for the new slimline with swm. Pulls one out of the truck and installs it.
I have an AT9 "side car" dish. It sounds like it will be replaced with a SWiMline dish. Too bad, the 5 LNB dishes has access to more channels than the SL3 dishes.
I have an HR20 and an R15 and also want to upgrade to the "Genie" I'm going to upgrade the 27" Sony (R15) to a 39" HDTV. I also have another SD set that is not connected in a guest bedroom. That set has component inputs and can use the 10 pin output.
I've been off contract for 5 years. From the sounds of it, I'll still need to jump through some hoops to get a deal. I have Cox, Dish, and soon CenturyLink (Prism TV), making offers on a monthly basis. I have no plan on leaving for Cox or Dish. CL will have to offer me a smoking 40/20 triple-play deal to drop DirecTV

South Side sinkhole: 'It went fast. Boom'
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO AND FRAN SPIELMAN Staff Reporters April 18, 2013 7:16AM
Article Extras
Updated: May 20, 2013 7:41PM
All Olaide Giwa could do was watch helplessly as her new 2013 Dodge Charger plopped into the sinkhole.
The 57-year-old nurse was heading to work in Glenview and had just walked out of her son's home in the 9600 block of South Houston about 5:20 a.m. Thursday when she saw a silver truck whose driver appeared to be having trouble steering.
And then she saw the truck sink into the road, swallowed by a sinkhole that had grown to a 30-foot diameter by early morning.
"I see the car going inside. I say, 'Wait a minute. What's going on?'" she said.
Soon after, the sinkhole swallowed her brother's car, too.
Frantic, Giwa wanted to move her Charger, now on the edge of the sinkhole, but firefighters wouldn't let her.
"I wanted to back up my own car. They say, 'You can't do that. The third one is going in at any time,'" she said.
"Then it went fast. Boom."
Pete Krivokuca, the driver of the silver truck, was taken to Northwestern Hospital with minor injuries, according to his father, Mirko Krivokuca.
"He called me. He's all right. He don't break nothing."
The sinkhole continued to grow throughout the morning, and at 8 a.m. a knock on the door woke Fidel Hernandez, 25, and he learned police were preparing for a tow truck to move his 2005 Oldsmobile Bravado, at the sinkhole's edge.
"A back tire was sinking slowly. It was unbelievable. Once they hooked it in, it was sinking little by little."
The car, on which Hernandez only has liability insurance, suffered only minor damage. "I'm already struggling as it is," he said. "I really didn't need that."
Water Management spokesman Tom LaPorte said late Thursday morning that the sinkhole was caused by a broken water main that's nearly a century old.
It's one of many targeted for replacement as part of the massive rebuilding program that Mayor Rahm Emanuel chose to bankroll with a near doubling of water rates over a four-year period.
LaPorte said the old water main "broke in half" and breached the sewer, washing out all of the sandy soil and undermining the street.
"There was no visible sign above the street. That's why it broke and why nobody had a warning of it," LaPorte said.
"All of the water pumping out of the broken main was not going up. Instead, it was going down into the sewer."
Before cars swallowed up by the sinkhole can be safely removed, Water Management needs to place "shoring equipment in the hole," he said. Only then can crews examine the break in the water main and "see if it can be fixed with a clamp or whether the pipe needs to be replaced."
Water Management Commissioner Tom Powers likened the massive sink hole to a similar problem at Foster and Elston in August, 2011.
In both cases, there was "no visible warning" before the pavement gave way because the water main broke in half and breached the sewer, allowing water to flow down into the sewer, instead of up into the street.
"What happened at both locations was a nearly 100-year-old water main broke and water in that water main continues to run. It's under pressure. At the same time the water main broke . . . washed out the street, washed out all the soil and the pavement couldn't even handle its own weight anymore, let alone the three cars sitting on top of it," Powers said.
"At Foster and Elston, it was actually two cars passing over it when the pavement collapsed. So, they're very similar in nature and they're indicative of an old infrastructure. . ."
Until there's a fix, water service in the immediate area will remain shut down in the 96th and Houston area.
Water Management crews also have barricaded a depression in the street at 92nd and Bennett for fear that a sinkhole may be developing there, a City Hall source said. Crews are checking to determine whether the sinkhole at 96th and Houston and the depression at 92nd and Bennett are related.

Vertex painting with modulation texture fills
Posted 17 March 2012 - 06:18 AM
Thanks too AbnRanger inspiration I imported some of my photoshop brush files for the first time to further enhance the textural feel.
All in all I've found the experience of painting in 3DCoat highly rewarding and great fun. It feels like painting in 3D.
Sculpted ,painted and rendered in 3DCoat with two lights in one evening - 10 minutes post work and jpeg prep photoshop.
I call this little fella "Pod Dweller"
Here's my other most recent piece called "Sitting Pretty"
This piece too was realized in one evening. I'm a busy Father and prefer to spend time with my family :-) . I follow the work smart , not dumb principle - fueled by tea , biscuits and heavenly music.
I did this prior to working with modulation fills as a textural resource.

Until vertex painting I had never really explored the painting room of 3DCoat only it's uv capabilities for export - using it has felt very natural and comfortable I must say.
My nocturnal love affair deepens methinks - what a splendid tool it is.
I find myself increasingly dreaming of never using polygons again.
To set a bigger stage , to have further options for moveable lights and pre-render voxel proxy on scene objects and instances that allows for real time scene rendering for more complex scenes would be amazing.

The Sermon On The Mount
Presented by Deacon Don Weigel
The Sermon on the Mount has been widely regarded as a "blueprint" for Christian life. What do the very familiar Beatitudes mean? What did Jesus mean by "turn the other cheek," to love one's enemies, to not take oaths or to not get angry? How are we to understand the Lord's Prayer, and teachings on fasting, dependence on God, judging others and the "Golden Rule" in the context of the entire Sermon? We will explore the meaning of these teachings and discuss what it means to live them today.

Perich pitches Peters Twp. into WPIAL semifinals
Latrobe catcher Jessica Tatone loses control of the softball as she attempts to make a tag at home plate on Peters Township's Hannah Berardino during the first inning of a WPIAL Class A quarterfinal playoff game Monday at California University's Lilley Field. Berardino was safe on the play, scoring the game's only run as PT held on for a 1-0 victory.

The Peters Township High School softball team surrounds Kellyn Perich after getting the final out in the Indians' 1-0 victory over Latrobe in the WPIAL Class AAAA quarterfinals Monday at California University's Lilley Field.
CALIFORNIA – Kellyn Perich ended the curse.
After playoff losses each of the past four seasons at California University's Lilley Field, the Peters Township softball team got a gem from Perich yesterday in the WPIAL Class AAAA quarterfinals, as the sophomore pitcher threw a complete-game shutout, complete with 11 strikeouts, to upset second-seeded Latrobe, 1-0.
"It opens up so many more opportunities," Perich said. "I think we're going to go far."
No. 7 Peters Township (18-4) advanced to the WPIAL semifinals and will play third-seeded North Allegheny, a 7-5 winner over McKeesport yesterday, Wednesday, site and time to be determined.
Latrobe (15-6) had runners on second and third in the bottom of the seventh inning – thanks, in part, to two of Perich's three walks – before she struck out pinch-hitter Amber Reeping swinging to end it.
"She was good," Latrobe coach Rick Shaheen said. "We chased a lot of high pitches. We chased pitches that we should not have gone after."
Perich has split time for much of this season with Carly Konopka, who hit a walk-off grand slam in a first-round victory over Pine-Richland.
In that game, Perich relieved Konopka in the circle and allowed no runs over the final three innings, giving her two wins and 16 strikeouts over her past 10 innings.
"I can't be more proud," Perich said. "We're a team. (Konopka) won us the game. I was just as happy as she was."
Konopka, like Perich a sophomore and part of Peters Township's young nucleus, didn't cede the entire spotlight and drove in the game's only run with a bloop single in the top of the first inning.
That turned out to be enough against Latrobe, which won WPIAL Class AAAA titles in 2007, '08 and '11.
"It feels amazing because, at the beginning of the season, people did underestimate us," Konopka said. "Losing seven starters and having a new coach – again … it feels great to exceed everyone's expectations."
Third baseman Hannah Berardino bunted the first pitch of the game and reached safely when the ball came to a stop on the white chalk along the first-base line. After two popouts, shortstop Lindsay McKnight walked and Konopka drove Berardino home.
The throw was a strong one, but as Berardino slid, Latrobe catcher Jessica Tatone bobbled the throw, enabling Peters Township to grab a 1-0 lead.
"She should have been out, in my opinion," Bowers said. "But she did a hook slide. I really wasn't sure whether the catcher dropped the ball or she just missed her with the tag. We got lucky with that run, and it held."
Perich reached on a one-out single to center in the third inning. McKnight bunted her over, and Perich went to third on a wild throw to second by Latrobe first baseman Shelby Noel. But Konopka bounced back to the pitcher to end the threat.
Indians catcher Abby Cunningham delivered a stomach-in-your-throat kind of moment in the bottom of the third, when she caught a ball – twice, actually – near the first-base dugout, keeping it from popping out of her glove as she tumbled to the ground.
Latrobe shortstop Kaity Finley ended Perich's no-hit bid by shooting a single to right in the next at-bat, but Perich made that a non-issue by recording her seventh strikeout in the first nine outs to end the inning.
Important, yes. Though Perich, rarely rattled, saved her best for last.
"Unlike most pitchers, the more pressure she has, the better she pitches," Peters Township coach Bob Bowers said. "She showed no emotion or stress. She was fully relaxed until the last pitch. In pressure situations, she can hang."
Olivia Gumbita struck out 10 for Latrobe. … Tori Weida and Viktoria Heiser added hits for Peters Township. … The Indians advanced to the WPIAL semifinals for a second consecutive season.

[♪ music ♪] [Adobe Creative Cloud - Photoshop CC]
>>Hello, my name is Russell Preston Brown from Adobe Systems,
and these are some of my favorite new features found in Adobe Photoshop CC.
Let's start with this great new feature found in the Filter menu.
It's called Camera Raw Filter.
Camera Raw Filter will allow you to target any layer within a document
and control that layer with many of the great features found in Adobe Camera Raw.
Check this out. I've targeted the layer here to the right, and this layer has a layer mask.
This is really unique and new.
So I can target a layer with a layer mask.
Going to the Filter menu, I'm going to convert this layer for Smart Filters right here
to maintain the nondestructive nature of this new feature,
then go back to the Filter menu and select Camera Raw Filter.
It will then open up this layer with the layer mask applied
and allow me to make adjustments.
The one particular adjustment I want to show is right here,
and it's the new Spot Removal feature.
Selecting Spot Removal, then going down here and selecting Visualize Spots,
it will then go right into the image and clearly visualize the areas that have spots in them.
I can adjust the slider until exactly the point where I can clearly see these.
Adjusting my brush size down, I can then of course go in
and simply click on those spots to remove them.
Really great new feature. It's that easy. Then click OK.
It then applies that, and of course it's nondestructive, as you can see here,
because I've prepared this for my Smart Filters.
Of course there is more, though.
In this second image you see here, I've created a panorama from 3 different images,
as you can see here.
When you're done with a panorama, you want to be able to select all of those,
group them back together as a Smart Object,
and then once again make adjustments with the Camera Raw features.
Again using this same feature, I can then go in and make adjustments.
Let's check out a great new feature found in Camera Raw called Radial Filter.
In this case, I'm selecting Radial Filter, clicking within the image,
and I can create a vignette within my image.
I can control this vignette by adjusting the outside of that vignette or the inside.
I want to adjust the outside and make it slightly darker
with my exposure setting you can see here.
Of course you can vignette an image within Adobe Camera Raw,
but in this case this new feature allows you to readjust its position
to any location within your image,
and, on top of that, you can add multiple radial filters across your image.
I'm going to click OK and finish that project.
So there you've seen one of my favorite new features here inside of Adobe Photoshop CC
combined with some of the great new features found in Adobe Camera Raw.
This next new feature found in Photoshop CC is something that I've always wanted,
and it's all about working with HDR images and high bit depth images.
As you can see here in Adobe Bridge, I'm selecting 3 different exposures.
I'll go up to my Tools menu and down to Photoshop and over to Merge to HDR Pro.
This all seems normal, but it's not until we get to the merged HDR Pro dialog,
as you can see here, that you'll see this great new feature.
Right up here I'm going to select under the Mode setting to shift this to 32 bit.
Watch carefully.
When I do this, a new button appears down in the right-hand corner called Tone in ACR.
This is fantastic.
So by clicking this button, I can automatically go right into the Adobe Camera Raw controls
for adjusting this image.
Let's go ahead and open up the shadow detail here with the Shadows slider,
maybe adjust the clarity slightly like this.
But there's one really important thing I want to demonstrate,
and it's right under my Lens Corrections right here.
It's a great new feature called Upright.
With Upright I can adjust the balance of perspective across my image—
in this case by selecting the letter A for the auto feature
or by going through and selecting any of these other 3 detail features
which will allow me to level the horizon or the verticals or to balance all of them together.
I'm going to select the letter A because it gives me my best results.
I'm going to click OK.
Because this is of course a Smart Object,
I can turn these nondestructive features on and off, as you see here.
There's one other thing I want to demonstrate
right over here with this second image.
This particular image is a 32-bit image.
What I want to do is convert this to an 8-bit image.
Here inside of Photoshop CC you can see here under the Preferences
found here under File Handling that you can now use Adobe Camera Raw
to convert documents from 32-bit to 16- and 8-bit images. Check this out.
If I now go up to the Image menu, down to Mode, and convert this to an 8-bit image
just like this, it will then automatically take this image right into Adobe Camera Raw.
Of course I can make all of my adjustments here within Adobe Camera Raw,
but there is one thing I definitely want to demonstrate,
and that has to do with the Spot Removal tool.
I'm going to zoom in on this area right over here.
I want to get rid of these power lines here in this image.
I'm going to reduce the size of my brush down
and show you a great capability.
In the past, you could only make a circular correction, as you see here.
But you can now go in and make an irregular shaped correction
by simply painting and adjusting the shape of your correction, as you see here.
But what's more is that I can click once here on my image,
hold down my Shift key and click again,
and it will draw a straight line between those 2 points,
allowing me to make simple corrections, like getting rid of these power lines,
a very quick and easy task.
And I'm all done. I now click OK and I now have updated my image.
So you've seen 2 great new ways to work with HDR images
here inside of Photoshop CC as well as converting existing 32-bit images
into 8-bit or 16-bit.
Here is another great new feature found in Photoshop CC.
This feature is for both the professional and the amateur.
Since I'm a qualified professional amateur, it's really, really great for me.
In this first image I'm going to remove some of the blur
caused by my moving cell phone camera.
This blur is also known as camera shake.
In this second project I'm going to get rid of a little bit of the camera shake
from this professional photograph I took in Monument Valley,
but I didn't use a tripod.
Let's give this first cell phone image a try.
Targeting this image that of course is a Smart Object,
I can then go up here to my Filter menu
and over to this new feature called Shake Reduction.
Shake Reduction of course is designed to get rid of shake within your images,
but it will not take an out of focus image and bring it into sharp focus.
It's strictly designed for camera shake.
I'm going to select it, and it will automatically analyze this image
and then process the image.
I love the automatic capabilities.
It always seems to target in on the exact position within the image
to give me my best results. Look at that.
It's sharpened up the image and gotten rid of the camera shake.
And over here to the right if I click right here,
you can see it's estimating the amount of camera shake and movement,
as you can see here in this preview.
I can also go in and select the letter Q here on my keyboard
and zoom in on a particular area within the image
and see before and then after.
Wow! Amazing results here from a camera phone image.
I'm going to click OK to process this image.
And of course since this is a Smart Object, it's nondestructive.
And because it has a mask related to it, I can go in with my Brush tool
and correct any artifacting that might appear with this process.
Next let's take a look at my professional photograph that I took with my SLR camera.
In this particular case, if I zoom in,
you can see that because I wasn't using a tripod,
it's slightly soft because I didn't have that tripod.
Now once again up to my Filter menu and down here to Sharpen,
let's try the Shake Reduction on this high quality photograph taken with my SLR.
Once again it targets in on the appropriate location.
We can select the Q key from our keyboard, zoom in,
and we can see before and then after.
It gives it a really nice sharp quality.
Of course I can go in and make adjustments to this,
but I really love the automatic capabilities.
Clicking OK to process my image.
So there you've just seen a great new feature found here in Photoshop CC
that allows you to get rid of camera shake.
In this next of my favorite new features inside of Photoshop CC
I'm pleased to announce that 3D is now built directly into Photoshop CC,
and there's no longer a separate extended version.
Everybody gets to work with 3D now.
And I'd also like to demonstrate the great new and improved painting engine.
If I bring up a second image, as you see here,
then select my Clone Stamp tool, I can go in, target this image,
bring it over to my 3D object, and with this new painting engine
I now have the ability to paint much, much faster and smoother
over my 3D surfaces.
Check this out. I can paint in these eyes just like this.
I can adjust the opacity of my brush simply and easily
and start to blend the 2 images together, as you see here.
When I'm all done, selecting my tools I can go into any of the surfaces of my 3D object
and immediately pick up that surface and start to rotate it, as you see here,
or selecting the base in this case to lift my image up.
And check out the shadow.
I can of course cast a shadow from any of my objects
here inside of Adobe Photoshop CC with these great new 3D features
that now everybody gets with a membership to the Adobe Creative Cloud.
The final set of features from all of my favorite new features in Photoshop CC
has to be the Adobe Exchange panel, as you see here.
You can access the panel from the Window menu, down to Extensions,
and over to Adobe Exchange.
Adobe Exchange is a valuable resource of paid and free utilities
that you can install into Adobe Photoshop.
The one I want to point out is something called Adobe Paper Texture Pro right here.
With Paper Texture Pro I can add textures quickly and easily.
All I have to do is click on the texture and it's applied to my image.
But the greatest thing has to be down here at the bottom
where you can randomize your selections by selecting the Randomizer button.
It will randomly go through all of the available textures here in the window.
You can also from the flyout menu access different libraries of textures,
and, in fact, you can load your own textures.
But to finish this all off, let's demonstrate how you can share your finished results
from Photoshop with your account on Behance.
Now inside of Photoshop CC from the File menu
you can go down to Share on Behance right here.
So when you're done with a project, just simply select this.
It will then prepare the image for you and display it here.
Let's go ahead and tag this with a Photoshop tag
and put in a comment like, "This is cool."
Then select Continue.
I can choose a special icon for display, as you see here,
crop and publish.
So now it will immediately go directly into my Behance account
so I can share it with my friends and clients.
There you have it. Those are my favorite new features found in Adobe Photoshop CC.
Give them a try.

Heading to a concert at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park?
Then make a day of it with these cool spots in the village.
17420 S. 67th Court, (708) 309-4371, tinleyparkdistrict.org
Housed in an 1882 structure that was the home of Tinley Park's first mayor, Henry Vogt, the gallery offers a look at history. "People should stop by here because we are really a hidden treasure," said gallery director Julie Dekker, who is also a citizen journalist columnist for Chicago Sun-Times' sister newspaper the SouthtownStar. "We house a lot of wonderful artwork that people don't realize is in this area. We feature local and regional artists every month. People don't realize it's right in their midst. Some people think art sounds boring, but our exhibits are so interesting." "Abstracts, Jewelry and Pottery" by Patricia Moore, Beverly Szaton and Joyce Riley is the July show. August's show will be "Reflections: Four Artists' Look at Life." Admission is free.
Oak Park Avenue between 165th and 183rd streets, (708) 444-5000, tinleypark.org
Themed Fairy Tale Festival, Benches on the Avenue features 20 pieces on display through Oct. 1. "It's art at its finest," said Don Zak, co-artist with Marty Rose of the 3-D "Beware of the Sugar-Sweet Lair," a "Hansel and Gretel"-based bench. Oak Park Avenue not only features the 10th annual public art project, but the thoroughfare is the main street in downtown Tinley Park. One can have a meal or drinks at restaurants and bars like Durbin's, 17265 S. Oak Park Ave., (708) 429-1000, durbinspub.com; Ed & Joe's Restaurant & Pizzeria, 17332 S. Oak Park Ave., (708) 532-3051, ednjoes.com; or Isabella Italian Cafe and Catering, 17211 S. Oak Park Ave., (708) 444-8555, isabellacafe.com. Go to downtowntinley.com for more information on dining, events, shopping and services.
19111 Oak Park Ave., (708) 429-3800, odysseyfunworld.com
This family fun center offers indoor redemption games and outdoor activities such as speed boats, which are billed as one of the only attractions of their kind in the United States. The next-door Odyssey Sweet Spot sports bar (odysseysweetspot.com) along with US99.5 hosts a Country Concert Pregame Party Series before select shows at the nearby First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre. "Our big thing is to come out and have a good time before the concert and get a couple of cheap drinks," Odyssey marketing director Ryan Jacobs said. "We've got the live band just to get them in the mood to hear some good music." Upcoming parties ($5 cover) include Aug. 3 for Blake Shelton, Aug. 17 for Rascal Flatts and Sept. 7 for Miranda Lambert.

'Intolerant' Christians Are More Militant than Muslims, Says Equality Chief
June 23, 2011 by TMO
By Daniel Martin
Christians are more militant than Muslims in complaining about discrimination, the head of Britain's equality watchdog has claimed.
Trevor Phillips said Muslims are better at integrating into society, while Christians often complain about bias for cynical political gains.
Mr Phillips, the head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, blamed the increasing influence on mainstream churches of African and Caribbean immigrants with 'intolerant' views.
In contrast, he said Muslims 'are doing their damnedest' to develop 'an idea of Islam that is compatible with living in a modern liberal democracy'.
He added: 'I think there's an awful lot of noise about the Church being persecuted but there is a more real issue that the conventional churches face – that the people who are really driving their revival and success believe in an old-time religion which, in my view, is incompatible with a modern, multi-ethnic, multicultural society.
'Muslim communities in this country are doing their damnedest to come to terms with their neighbours to try to integrate and they're doing their best to try to develop an idea of Islam that is compatible with living in a modern liberal democracy.
'The most likely victim of actual religious discrimination in British society is a Muslim, but the person who is most likely to feel slighted because of their religion is an evangelical Christian.'
Senior churchmen, such as former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, have attacked equality laws for stifling Christianity.
However, Mr Phillips said many of the legal cases brought by Christians over homosexuality were motivated by an attempt to gain political influence. He told the Sunday Telegraph: 'I think for a lot of Christian activists, they want to have a fight and they choose sexual orientation as the ground to fight it on. I think the argument isn't about the rights of Christians. It's about politics.
Religious differences: Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey has in the past attacked equality laws for stifling Christianity
'There are a lot of Christian activist voices who appear bent on stressing the kind of persecution that I don't really think exists in this country.'
But Mr Phillips, who was brought up in a Salvation Army background, said he could 'understand why a lot of people in faith groups feel a bit under siege'. 'There's no question that there is more anti-religion noise in Britain,' he said.
He also said equality laws should not apply to the internal organisation of religious groups.
'It's perfectly fair that you can't be a Roman Catholic priest unless you're a man,' he continued. 'It seems right that the reach of anti-discriminatory law should stop at the door of the church or mosque.'
Tory MP Philip Davies suggested Mr Phillips was attempting to 'take the spotlight off his domestic difficulties' at the beleaguered body. Home Secretary Theresa May has vowed to reform the organisation after a report branded it a costly failure.

Brain injury - concussion - discharge; Traumatic brain injury - concussion - discharge; Closed head injury - concussion - discharge
Healing or recovering from a concussion takes time. It may take days to weeks, or even months. You may be irritable, have trouble concentrating, be unable to remember things, have headaches, dizziness, and blurry vision. These problems will probably recover slowly. You may want to get help from family or friends for making important decisions.
You may use acetaminophen (Tylenol) for a headache. Do NOT use aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil), naproxen, or other similar drugs unless your doctor told you to.
Eat a light diet. Light activity around the home is okay. You do not need to stay in bed. However, avoid exercise, lifting weights, or other heavy activity.
Have an adult stay with you for the first 12 - 24 hours after you are home from an emergency room.
Do not drink alcohol until you have recovered all the way. Alcohol may slow down how quickly you recover, increase your risk for another injury, and make it harder than it already is to make decisions.
As long as symptoms are present, avoid sports activities, operating machines, being overly active, and hard labor. Ask your doctor when you can return to your activities.
Make sure friends, people you work with, and family members are aware of your recent injury.
Talk to your employer about the timing of important projects. Consider having others check your work. You should not perform work activities that may place others in danger until all symptoms are gone.
Family, workmates, and friends should understand that you may be more tired, withdrawn, easily upset or confused, may have a hard time with tasks that require remembering or concentrating, and may have mild headaches and less tolerance for noise.
Consider asking for more breaks when you return to work.
Talk with your employer about:
A doctor should tell you when you can:
If symptoms do not go away or are not improving a lot after 2 or 3 weeks, talk to your doctor.
Call the doctor if you have:
