"Cute but needs some updates"
This is a cute product and I can see a large variety of uses for it in both personal and business use.
This is a cute product, however might I suggest a few updates.
1) Let the user access just a particular portion of the screen, not just the 2 selections.
2)Provide a selection of line width.
3) Let it select the Prt Sc button for capture.

Black Diamond Storm Headlamp

Matt Skibert
My go to head lamp
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have quite a few head lamps, but this one is the best. At first it seemed to be a bit confusing to use and get the settings but after working with it for a few minutes I got it down to a science.
The beams are clean, the light can be bright, and I've used this alot, from night and morning climbs and hikes, to around the camp and for military use. It's very light weight, can't even tell. Strap is nice, batteries don't drain as much as others. Everything you can want.
No need to say anything else, hands down the best!
Andrew Brook
Great Headlamp!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this head lamp!
The last time a bought a head lamp was over 6 years ago. I thought this year might be the year to upgrade.
I mainly use this for early morning tours although it has proved useful under the car as well.
The strap is very comfortable. The different modes are great. The beam is focused and I love that it can run at either 75% or 100%. I hardly use the 100% beam. I wish the button was slightly larger though as it can be hard to find with ski gloves on.
James Pramick
Finicky Controls but Still Awesome!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
It's a little heavier than my previous headlamps, and the controls aren't super intuitive. But I don't mind geeking out with it for awhile and actually reading instructions, so that didn't bother me too much. And I do really like what those controls do. So give it a chance to get used to it. Its a great light!
Love it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Its a great headlamp that I have used on several hikes and backpacking trips. I have used it in rain and no leaks. It is a little heavy and carrying the extra batteries adds up but I have not regrets. The red light option is great since it attracts less bugs.
Josh Hirschmann
Absolutely Love It
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
At first I was somewhat hesitant about spending $50 on a headlamp, but after using the Storm for a little while I'm stoked on the purchase and feel it was worth the price.
1. Bright Light! With a max output of 160 lumens the Storm is powerful. While I wouldn't say you can see clearly out to the listed max distance of 70 meters you can see eyes light up at least 70 meters out, maybe up to 100 meters.
2. Dimming/Powertap. Hold the button to dim the light. Whatever dim level you leave the light at will be set for the Powertap function. A tap of your fingertip on the side of the headlamp will switch between full power and your selected dim level, super convenient.
3. A double click of the button will switch to SinglePower (also dimmable), great for reading or not blinding your friends around the campsite.
4. Waterproof/Durable. Big selling point for me. If you get stuck in the elements at night or start your skin up the mountain early morning on a snowy day you can rely on the Storm to still light your way.
5. Lock Mode. Just hold the top button for a few seconds and the battery indicator light (which is a useful feature in itself) on the side will flash blue to indicate that the headlamp is locked. No more worries about the lamp turning on in your pack and draining the batteries.
6. The adjustment clip on the headstrap doubles as a key to open the battery compartment, a nice bit of attention to detail.
1. It's not the lightest headlamp out there but at 3.9 oz I'm fine with it.
2. There are a quite a few functions operated by just one button. Hold the button with light off and before it locks it will switch to red, hold with light off to switch back to normal light, double click for SinglePower light, triple click for strobe... it takes a moment to get used to but I think it's intuitive.
3. Again, at $50 it's not cheap.
Overall I highly recommend this product, it has every function you could want in a headlamp in a simple and rugged package.

Well thought out design
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used this for night hiking, trips, finding junk in my car, and most recently mountain biking at Betasso in Boulder. It worked well enough as a night light for a 1.5 hour ride, and I can't remember when I last changed the batteries. Luckily, there is a nifty little LED that tell you battery life.
I think it takes people a while to figure out how to get through all the modes with one button, but I don't find it a problem to pick it up after 3 months of not using it and still get through all the functions. Albeit, I use spot for riding, flood for camping/cooking, and red if I night gaze. Flash I just don't use. The dimming capability is okay - I use high or low most.
It is a bit heavy. And takes a fleet (4) of AAAs. If you wanted to run with this, it feels heavy - like it might fall - but I haven't really had it fall down or angle down from bouncing.
Also, I leave the batteries in a lot (sin!) but find it hasn't caused corrosion or dead batteries so far. Certainly convenient!
Ooo, and the little thumb-screw that holds the back on is nice. No fussing around with a bad seal or damaged plastic from coin opening.

Love it!
I now own two Black Diamond headlamps, the Cosmo and the Storm. I had two minor complaints about the Cosmo - the proximity lighting beam was too focused, and the light would occasionally turn on while I was carrying it in my pack. Neither of those complaints is an issue with the Storm. The proximity beam is very diffuse, which makes it useful for close up tasks such as reading. The lockout mode basically eliminates any chance of the light coming on while in my pack.
I'm amazed that Black Diamond could pack so much functionality into a compact, single-button headlamp. The fact that it is all controlled with a single button makes it a little confusing at the start, but after a minute or two of using it the controls became intuitive for me.
Best headlamp
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've had several headlamps and this one compares to some of the more expensive ones I've used. The several settings and ability to dim, the super bright full powered setting and red light, all combine to make it fully functional and versatile. I also love that it locks so when I throw it in my bag I don't have to worry about it turning on and burning through the battery.
Ben Rabinowitz
Best in its class
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love all the features you get with this headlamp: spot, flood, dimming, flashing, red light, lockout. It's great! Cycling through the different modes is a breeze and I find myself utilizing pretty much all of the features. (Except for the flashing because I luckily haven't been in an emergency situation *fingers crossed*)
I've used this for camping, hiking, climbing, reading in bed at night, changing a car tire, searching through my trunk, and just about everything in between. I've probably also used this around my house when I was too lazy to turn lights on. (I should probably re-evaluate my life). It's always performed perfectly and flawlessly.
For its class of headlamp (integrated batteries and non-reactive) I think this is the BEST headlamp you can buy. The only competitor are the new reactive headlamps from PETZL, but they are about twice the price.
Just remember to use the lockout feature (when off, hold down power for 7 seconds) to make sure it doesn't turn on in your bag!

Choprock Canyon - Escalante, UT 8-31-201
This canyon (and the recommendation of my friend) is the reason I bought the BD Storm headlamp. My Petzl Zipka is not waterproof so I ended up having to use the surrounding light from my friends headlamps and eventually using my iPhone light in a Lifeproof case for around 2 hours in a slot canyon. The dark area starts at 5:16 if you don't want to watch the whole video (even though it is an awesome canyoneering video!)
Jeff Guest
Not very intuitive...
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this headlamp for canyoneering in wet canyons. Normally I keep a Petzl Zipka in my dry bag for those times when we need to hike out of a slot canyon in the dark (which has happened a few times). Sadly while the Zipka is really lightwight and small, it is not waterproof. I recently had an experience in Choprock Canyon where we were still in the canyon for 2 hours in the dark before we got to the last rappel. It was a very wet canyon with lots of splashing and very possible full submersing while dropping into a pool of water so I didn't want to risk getting my Zipka wet. My other friend had the BD Storm headlamp and had no worries at all. I ended up purchasing the Storm when we got back from our trip so I can be prepared for the next time I need a headlamp while still in the water.
I was disappointed on how non-intuative the button controls are. the main button on the top middle turns it on and off (half press does nothing). Holding down the middle button while on will dim the brightness from high to low to high. While holding down the middle button while off will will change to the red LED's. Holding the middle button while on will dim the brightness like mentioned above. Holding again while off will change back to white LED's. Touching the sensor button on the side will either alternate between dimming or brightening the white or red LED's. I much prefer the one button operation of cycling through brighnesses and red lights and holding down to turn off.
Overall This is the best light I've found for my intended purpose of a waterproof headlamp, but will definitely not be my regularly used go-to light for anything other than potential dark/wet slot canyon light. See my video review for the video where I did not have a waterproof headlamp and I ended up having to use my iPhone light in a Lifeproof case and the surrounding lights of my friends waterproof headlamps.
My friend had an older version of this light and said it was much more intuitive.
Ryan Roeber
Awesome Headlamp!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bright, light, and super powerful. This headlamp does it all. Love the red LED features, because of the ability to switch it on without having to cycle through the other settings. Great idea for early alpine starts where you don't want to wake up everyone in the hut.
Scott Scooter Sowle
I Can See Clearly Now The STORM Is On!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
What can I say, this is the fourth Storm I've owned and I love it, of course a couple of friends loved them also and kept them. I did leave one on top of a peak for some lucky person. The reason I keep coming back is their great durability. I hammer on gear and this Storm keeps on giving me an awesome return when night hiking, mountaineering and even as a second lamp for cycling. I've used this in the Pacific Northwest's rainy days and never had a problem of it shorting out. (I think Brandon Outen's review earlier "Great for Night Swimming" is a great testimony of it's waterproofness) A time and battery saving feature is the battery lock so you no longer need to take out a battery or turn one upside down while in transit.
Gunnar Johnson
Best Headlamp I've Used
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used this guy a ton and it never fails to impress. You'll find lighter headlamps but i'm willing to trade a few ounces for features. If you do any hiking, fishing, skiing, etc., in bad weather you won't be disappointed!
Simply the best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Have only positive experience during two years of hard use in mountains.
Jacob Wilbanks
Bright and SOLID!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm pretty impressed with this lamp so far. It is much brighter than the old one I used to own and I really enjoy the versatility of options for lighting and being able to dim the light, all with the use of only a single button. It feels super sturdy, and though I haven't gotten it wet yet, I imagine it will hold up well. The lock feature is also a nice safety from battery drainage even though I feel it would be pretty hard for the light to get turned on by accident. Overall, very pleased with my first couple uses of this headlamp.

Trail Running At Night = So Awesome!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After scouring many gear review sites and trail running sites, the Storm was always highly spoken of. At first, I really only wanted to spend about half of what the Storm goes for... but after many convincing reviews, I pulled the trigger.
I've had my Storm for about 2 years now and still freakin' love the thing like the day I got it. I've logged around 500+ miles of crazy, scary trail runs at night with the thing on.
Running at night, in the rain and mud, can get pretty nutty, but dang, it's fun as all get out. Just make sure you've got some killer traction on your shoes!
Sorry to the many, many runners I've freaked out with just the red LED's on!!
I've also used the heck outta the Storm for camping and early morning hiking too.
Matthew Pizza
Best headlamp so far.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the best headlamp I have every owned, I've had the Spot and the Gizmo also by Black Diamond as well as the Petzl Tikka Plus 2. Very well made and durable. The spot light on this headlamp is extremely bright and reaches a hell of a long ways. Probably farther than you need to see. It is nice to have to spot pairs of eyes flanking you on the trail. The LED lights on the sides of the spotlight get more use, good for digging through your backpack looking for your bottle opener and whatnot. It also has a strobe effect for emergency situations or impromptu dance parties.
My two favorite features are the red LED lights for reading and whatnot and the lock feature. You can depress the button for 6 seconds and lock the headlamp so that it doesn't accidentally get turned on in your pack and drain your battery. Another great feature is the mechanism to open the battery compartment. It is a little thumb screw that you undo instead of dealing with the frustrating friction buttons that so many headlamps have.
I've dropped this in the river a few times and it has definitely taken a beating from sand and rocks but it is still working like new.
Anyone have issue with this lamp dying...
Anyone have issue with this lamp dying BECAUSE of 'LOCK' mode?
I love everything about this lamp (I LOVE LAMP!) but found it dead when I really needed it. Sorry for the TL:DR, but wanted to see if anyone else had similar symptoms. I now know of myself, my climbing partner, and one other friend who have had same dead Storm at the base of a climb. Don't know if I missed something in instructions, or if a design flaw of some sort...
I bought this lamp 4 days prior to a Mt Adams climb. I opened the box, installed included batteries, ran through the functions for about 5 minutes at home to make sure I had them figured out, then put it 'LOCK' mode and into the brain of my pack so I wouldn't forget it.
Flash forward to camp at the base of Mt. Adams, the night before we are supposed to be walking onto the north glacier. BOTH my climbing partner and I turned on our Storms and BOTH refused to turn on. Both lamps had fresh batteries, both were in 'LOCK' in our packs for a few days prior...Got back to town and replaced batts for Rainier climb but only the LED battery indicator light would work - GREEN for on, flashing BLUE in 'LOCK' - none of the main lights (spot, sides, or reds) would turn on.
Backcountry.com is (of course) completely RAD and after one quick phone call, I will be able to return hassle-free. The only hassle was having to go to REI and pick up another lamp for remainder of trip, as we were leaving for Rainier the following day.
James Howard
Honestly, it sounds as though you got a lemon. So you're saying that it won't come out of "Lock" mode? For instance, you operated it and it worked, you put it in Lock mode, and then when you held down the "On" button for a number of seconds to bring it out of Lock mode to turn it on, it wouldn't turn on? The flashing blue should be there for five or six seconds before it comes out of Lock mode to turn on, but if all it is doing is flashing blue even when you're holding it down for over ten or fifteen seconds, maybe you got at a lemon. Very bizarre.
James, sorry not sure how to reply directly to your answer, so trying it here...
I think I did get a lemon, but it's not stuck in "Lock" mode. I can hold the button and unlock it but the lamp(s) still won't turn on. The only reason I know it's out of lock mode is the battery indicator light (can get it to switch from flashing blue to solid green which I assume SHOULD mean the lamp is on)...some sort of disconnect between the power and the lamp itself I guess.
James Howard
From that description, it sounds as though the wiring connections are probably loose or, more likely, disconnected. You are correct in assuming that the lamp SHOULD be on once you've made it switch on the indicator light from a flashing blue (Lock) to solid green (On, with high battery level). As you stated before, and as I know from experience, BC has a fantastic return policy, so I would just send it back their way and request an exchange.
I am having the exact same issue with my Storm headlamp. The green light comes on, to indicate it's not locked, but the light does not turn on. No combination of button pushing will make it work. I have used this lamp for less than 5 minutes total, not even outside the house yet. It seemed like exactly what I wanted when it did work though.
I purchased through Steep and Cheap more than 30 days ago and thus, will have to go through BD for a warranty claim.
Hi there,
I have also a problem with my Spot lock mode but a different one. After about a year of use, the headlamp is stuck in lock mode. When I press the button for over 6 seconds to unlock it, all the lights are flashing (strobe) and then turn off again and the headlamp is still in lock mode. I don't know what to do to get out of this lock mode anymore.
Exceeded expectations, love it!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Got one of these originally as a gift, then got another for my girlfriend at the time because I liked it so much. Now she's my wife. Just saying. One had an issue with battery corrosion after two years, BD replaced it quickly for free, no hassle.
It's durable, quality, very bright, has a bunch of well-designed features (dimming is nice, red light for inside the tent so you don't have to disturb anyone). Haven't had any problems with the lock feature.
According to the description, it's brighter than the ReVolt, $10 cheaper, and it's waterproof. I can live without the recharging feature because the batteries last forever, and honestly, I generally hate rechargeable batteries.
In addition to camping, I use this for biking rather than a handlebar mounted headlight. It's nice to have the light move where ever your head is trying to look rather than be fixed to one spot in front of the road. I can quickly "flash" drivers at night with a nod of the head to make sure they see me, and I don't have to worry about it getting stolen off my bike.
Overall, I couldn't recommend this higher. High quality, you won't be disappointed.
Edit: The BD warranty for headlamps is 3yrs (description says 1yr)

Marriage is certainly not in trouble for the privileged and powerful. Forget Kim Kardashian, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Tiger Woods.

However, marriage is in trouble not only in poor communities but also increasingly in Middle America -- communities where most people have a high school degree but not a four-year college degree. For Americans without a college degree, divorce remains high, marital quality is falling, and nonmarital childbearing is surging. The problem with the growing marriage divide in America is that children -- and men -- often pay a big price.For instance, research indicates that boys who are reared outside of marriage are about twice as likely to end up in prison by the time they turn 30, compared with boys raised in an intact, married home. Similarly, studies show that girls raised in fatherless homes are at least twice as likely to end up pregnant, compared with girls raised in intact, married homes with their fathers. In general, children born and raised in a married household are more likely to graduate from college, find employment and enjoy stable marriages as adults.Likewise, married adults are happier and less depressed than their unmarried peers. And because they work harder, act more strategically and carefully after they tie the knot, men enjoy a wage premium that may exceed 10% compared with their single peers. Married men are also much less likely to abuse alcohol, drugs or run into trouble with the law, compared with their unmarried peers. In the words of Nobel Laureate George Akerlof, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, "Men settle down when they get married: If they fail to get married, they fail to settle down."Thus, the problem with the retreat from marriage in poor and working-class communities is that fewer children, not to mention adults (especially men), benefit from the meaning, direction and stability afforded by an intact, family life. Conversely, American adults and children hailing from more educated communities and affluence are more likely to be doubly blessed with high levels of income and education as well as strong and stable families. There are at least two ways to bridge the growing marriage divide. First, liberals correctly note that one reason marriage is disappearing is that men in poor and working-class communities are having greater difficulty finding stable, decent-paying jobs -- particularly as manufacturing jobs head overseas. Our government should aim to strengthen vocational education and job programs in these communities. Conservatives are also correct to point out that the cultural foundations of marriage have weakened in poor and working-class communities. For instance, since the 1970s, less-educated Americans have become more accommodating of divorce, whereas college-educated Americans have become more intolerant of divorce and are in fact, more likely to embrace what I call a marriage mind-set.Accordingly, policymakers should consider a public health campaign to educate people, especially those in poor and working-class communities, about the value of marriage and fatherhood, much like they have educated the public about the dangers of smoking and drunken driving. Such a campaign may seem quixotic, but the evidence suggests such campaigns can drive behavioral changes.Given the importance of a strong and stable family life in children's lives, our leaders should take actions that will strengthen the institution of marriage. The alternative is a future where children from some communities are consigned to increasingly unstable and unhappy homes. That is simply not acceptable.

Ann Coulter Hits Back
Posted By Kathy Shaidle On March 24, 2010 @ 12:00 am In FrontPage | 52 Comments
Visit Newsreal.
I could have told you this would happen if you ever got Ezra Levant and Ann Coulter in the same room together.
In response to that embarrassing, vaguely threatening message she got from that tax-teat sucking Canadian academic before she even set foot in the country, Ann Coulter announced recently that she is considering — you guessed it — filing a "Human Rights" Commission complaint against known Frenchman Francoise Houle (his real name).
At her first ever speech at a Canadian university (which I attended, of course), she told the sold-out crowd of (mostly) supporters, tongue firmly in cheek, that she was going to take her cue from all those other friviolous, professionally "offended" complainants who've made Canada the laughing stock of the world, and charge Houle with violating her "rights" as part of an "identifiable group."
Of course, the definition of "identifiable group" most assuredly does not include "white, Christian conservatives" — as white Christian conservatives have discovered when they've tried to file Human Rights complaints against anti-Catholic homosexual activists and so forth.
I think Coulter should claim "American" as her "identifiable group." After all, in Canada, Americans are the only people you are allowed, and encouraged, to viciously insult at will — even on, especially on, 9/11, with the encouragement of our tax-payer funded national broadcaster, no less.
Such a cause celebre might force my fellow citizens to confront this poisonous little habit of theirs once and for all.
And naturally, we all hope Coulter will hire Ezra Levant as her lawyer. He was more or less forced to become Canada's leading expert on our censorious, politically correct kangaroo courts, when he fought them — and (900 days and $100,000 later) won.

First-Year Summer Reading
The 2014 Summer Reading was Gary Younge'sThe Speech. The 2015 Summer Reading will be announced by May.
This summer we would like all first-year students to purchase and read The Speech: The Story Behind Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream by Gary Younge. It will provide the foundation for a year-long campus-wide discussion of emancipation as a goal of human activity, in the U.S. and around the globe, in the past, present, and future.
Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech from the steps of the Lincoln Monument on August 28, 1963. Half a century later, the speech endures as a defining moment in the civil rights movement and continues to be heralded as a beacon in the ongoing struggle for racial equality. In his book, Gary Younge explores both the history of the speech and its legacy today, as well as offering a critical modern analysis of why "I Have a Dream" remains America's favorite speech.

Junior Member
Dear Riots and my fellow LOL players,
I'll list my opinions about alternatives here :
Senior Member
Last I heard, Riot is adjusting the way scoring is done in SR. I'm sure these changes will influence how Elo will fluctuate.
I agree complete with what you say. I constantly run about 10/2-4 as kennen but i also will have someone who is going 0/6-7. Its impossible to win with that.
I usually play a champion that can change the outcome of the lane phase or in other words and jungle. I usually play udyr and can finish the jungle in about 3 30 and start ganking at 4 00, because of this even if some of my team sucks, a good jungle can still change the outcome of a game. Your feeding twitch with a janna bot lane getting raped and the twitch is already 0-2-0 can still be changed. They most likely will be pushed to their turret. What does this mean? You go gank bottom and get 2 kills for twitch or you. What im trying to say is, BABY SIT THE NOOBS and play a jungler until you get to around 1400-1500. Then you can start playing what the team needs but until then play op champs and junglers. Karth is not the greatest of picks, Kat can be shut down REAL easy. Champs that if they get fed even if their team is feeding can still prevail: Udyr, Anivia, Annie, Stun Champions, Champions that can stay way back and still rape kids.
Totally agree. It seems there are at least 1-2 players who have really no idea how the game is played at higher levels who suddenly start to join SR games. People who do not understand how to counter pick will just pick who they want play regardless if you already have a role that is filled. One thing i will never understand is people deciding who they are going to play before the banns/picks even start. They should be punished but i guess you cant punish stupidity. I only hope they manage to lose more games than me, which is more difficult than is sounds since they will be put on my team consistently. I think they should have stricter requirements for joining ranked ques i.e. Owning more heroes, having more regular wins, having multiple tier 3 rune pages.
maybe try to play someone like a mord although he is not as strong if they have a fed ad carry all you need is to get your team to kill one person and you can kill there whole team
Thanks for supporting so far, guys.
agree. i think the fairest way would be to keep the system the way it is, but to add modifiers based on kills/deaths/assists or gold, maybe with extra bonuses for exceeding a certain score in a given amount of time. Maybe it doesn't even have to be that much, maybe if you do well enough in a game it simply negates the elo drop you'd take from a loss? Like, "sorry dude, but you still did well... here's this."
The Noob Who Sux
+1. But this also means ill never be able to play ranked. My needs are second to the community's needs.

Blended Learning | News
Continuing its mission to turn around Los Angeles' lowest performing schools, the non-profit organization Partnership for LA Schools will receive additional funding for its blended learning initiative, which supports science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in the Los Angeles Unified School District through online learning programs.
DirecTV is investing $200,000 in the initiative to provide district-wide implementation of an online math learning program and a multi-tiered math incentive program.
Nearly 3,000 students will have access to ST Math, an online program Developed by Mind Research Institute that provides self-paced, mastery-based objectives that integrate with core instruction.
An incentive program designed to promote interest in math among elementary and middle school students will also be implemented. The system will reward teachers and parents whose students demonstrate the greatest math achievement using ST Math, and will include iPad Minis and free DirecTV service for a year. A grand prize at the end of the year will be awarded to one middle school and one elementary school student with the highest ST Math usage.
"Los Angeles students have no better partner than DirecTV," said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, in a prepared statement. "Mike White and everyone at DIRECTV have been with the Partnership for LA Schools from the beginning, generously contributing both resources and time. Today, they continue that commitment with this generous donation bringing the latest in math learning technology to nearly 3,000 Partnership students."
Founded by Villaraigosa in 2007 to improve education in Los Angeles, the non-profit Partnership for Los Angeles Schools serves nearly 15,000 students across 22 schools in some of the city's poorest communities, and has raised more than $3.6 million to purchase hardware, software, and teacher training to expand the program.
In its second year of operation, the Partnership's blended learning program uses online learning programs such as ST Math to improve student scores in math, English, and the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE).
"DirecTV's investment in our blended learning initiative is a testament to our talented students and teachers who have made it a success," said Partnership for LA Schools CEO Marshall Tuck, in a prepared statement. "We applaud DirecTV for their ongoing commitment and support of the Partnership and our landmark blended learning initiative, which we launched last year and today is one of the largest efforts at scale among inner-city public schools in the country."

Costeff Syndrome, which is caused by mutations in the OPTIC ATROPHY 3 (OPA3) gene, is an early-onset syndrome characterized by urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid (MGC), optic atrophy and movement disorders, including ataxia and extrapyramidal dysfunction. The OPA3 protein is enriched in the inner mitochondrial membrane and has mitochondrial targeting signals, but a requirement for mitochondrial localization has not been demonstrated. We find zebrafish opa3 mRNA to be expressed in the optic nerve and retinal layers, the counterparts of which in humans have high mitochondrial activity. Transcripts of zebrafish opa3 are also expressed in the embryonic brain, inner ear, heart, liver, intestine and swim bladder. We isolated a zebrafish opa3 null allele for which homozygous mutants display increased MGC levels, optic nerve deficits, ataxia and an extrapyramidal movement disorder. This correspondence of metabolic, ophthalmologic and movement abnormalities between humans and zebrafish demonstrates a phylogenetic conservation of OPA3 function. We also find that delivery of exogenous Opa3 can reduce increased MGC levels in opa3 mutants, and this reduction requires the mitochondrial localization signals of Opa3. By manipulating MGC precursor availability, we infer that elevated MGC in opa3 mutants derives from extra-mitochondrial HMG-CoA through a non-canonical pathway. The opa3 mutants have normal mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation profiles, but are nonetheless sensitive to inhibitors of the electron transport chain, which supports clinical recommendations that individuals with Costeff Syndrome avoid mitochondria-damaging agents. In summary, this paper introduces a faithful Costeff Syndrome model and demonstrates a requirement for mitochondrial OPA3 to limit HMG-CoA-derived MGC and protect the electron transport chain against inhibitory compounds.

CD Assistant
Full user review
"Could be great, but wasn't as simple as it could be"
It is very easy to add discs ( just a few mouse clicks), and the process is very fast. CD info is quite accurate - it found quite a few of my more obscure discs, and usually differentiated between "disc 1" and "disc 2" (etc) of multi-disc albums.
Buttons & tabs were not very intuitive for me; various redundant buttons; newly added discs would not always show up immediately (I had to switch to a different tab/sort to find them). Clicking "help" was useless - the file was too minimal.
This could have been a fantastic, simple freeware program; I've compared it to 3 trial versions of paid software and found it to be simpler and quicker to add discs, as well as providing more accurate CD info & finding quite a few discs not found by the paid programs. Unfortunately, there were a few glitches, and the non-intuitive sort tabs & buttons had me more frustrated than pleased.
Based on this freeware, I would be highly unlikely to purchase MusiFind Pro (the "premier," paid product from the same publisher, Author Direct) for $39. A free trial version of it is available, but after using this freeware for about a week I had no interest in trying any other Author Direct products for a while!

Well, I Was Wrong
I wrote this post not long after I finished recording this week's episode of The Delivery when the election returns were pouring in like a flow from a backed-up sewer. I admit right up front it's not carefully-edited and I didn't plan any of it out. I simply wrote and hit the "Publish" button. That's the way blogging goes sometimes.
Tonight was, by any measure, a disaster for the Republican Party. Not only did its hand-picked candidate, Mitt Romney, lost to arguably the weakest incumbent President in my lifetime but the party got destroyed in a number of Senate elections that should have been wins. The party is weaker now in Washington than it was after the historic Tea Party election of 2010.
I did not think it would turn out this way. I freely admit, I looked at the enthusiasm of the activists around me, saw the hard work of everyday people who have full-time jobs and families yet spent countless hours working to turn out the vote for a candidate they clearly did not want all that much and I thought…yeah. I thought this was an election the party hierarchy couldn't louse up. I thought we could drag the dead Romney campaign horse over the finish line.
I forgot something important, though. I forgot that when you're dragging a dead horse, you're, well, dragging a dead horse. It's not a bouquet of flowers or a wheelbarrow full of bacon. It's a stinking, bloated carcass that anyone with any good sense would have left where it was. Only in politics are we expected to put our sanity aside to the point where we'll willingly latch onto said carcass and heave it forward inch by nauseating inch while trying to convince our friends and family that it doesn't stink quite as badly as that other fetid corpse over there.
I was wrong.
Several months ago, on The Delivery, I said there were several candidates who could beat President Obama but none of them would because none of them would put up the sort of fight winning required. Obviously, I reconsidered that opinion, but it turns out I shouldn't have. I was wrong to go back on my first impression.
Early on, I believed that voting for someone was a far more powerful thing than voting against someone. I didn't see where any of the candidates had made anything like a compelling case for them. Goodness knows, Mitt Romney did nothing of the sort during the election. He attacked his opponents with a fury he didn't even unleash on President Obama. Even the candidates I liked seemed to shy away from pushing themselves over pushing against the others. I had hoped those pundits and professional Republicans who said you could win an election by not attacking the President's weaknesses were right. After all, they're paid the big bucks to get these things right and I am Just A Blogger.
I was wrong.
As the general campaign wore on, I figured Team Romney and the GOP knew what they were doing. Sure, they were holding back huge sums of cash instead of forcing Democrats to fight against good candidates in mostly blue states but that was only smart politics. Pragmatic politics. They didn't build a ground game, preferring to let others do the heavy-lifting, but I was told that was smart politics, too. I believed it. And I convinced other people to believe it, too. I figured Team Romney and the GOP had a plan when they mostly stayed silent as the story of Benghazi grew so large that even the hesitant national media had to cover it in depth. I figured they had something in store as the President crushed our candidate over and over and over again on his economic plan even though he never bothered to put one out of his own. I truly believed they were worthy of trust and I put my own credibility on the table with theirs when I asked you all to help me.
I was wrong.
So now here we are, folks. Losers. In deep trouble as individuals and a country, with a broken economy, a megalomaniac for President, a foreign policy in something worse than tatters, and slim prospect for improvement for at least the next four years, if not the next decade.
I helped bring that about. I knew better. I promise you I did, but I didn't say all the things I ought to have said, didn't push the the things I believed were right. I got meek and I was wrong. I'm sorry.

5 Toxic Stocks to Sell Now
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Over the last few months, I've made it no secret that I like stocks. From both a technical and a fundamental standpoint, the evidence is mounting for a sustained bullish move in the market -- and the rally that we've been in since June is just the first act. But that's exactly why you need to shed the toxic stocks from your portfolio in October.
Toxic stocks are the names that haven't participated in the rally so far, sending an ominous message to investors. After all, you don't want to own the names that can't catch a bid when the market's moving 15% higher. To take full advantage of a bullish move in stocks, knowing which stocks to avoid is more than half the battle.
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
That's why, today, we're taking a technical look at five names that could be toxic for your portfolio this fall.
To be fair, the companies I'm talking about today aren't exactly "junk." I mean, they're not next up in line at bankruptcy court -- and, in fact, I even like a couple of this week's names fundamentally. But that's frankly irrelevant; from a technical analysis standpoint, they're some of the worst positioned names out there right now. For that reason, fundamental investors need to decide how long they're willing to take the pain if they want to hold onto these firms this Fall. And for investors looking to buy one of these positions, it makes sense to wait for more favorable technical conditions (and a lower share price) before piling in. >>5 Stocks Hedge Funds Love -- and So Should You For the unfamiliar, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution.

National Bureau of Water Use Efficiency will focus on irrigation, drinking water supply
The Centre will establish a National Bureau of Water Use Efficiency as an "authority" for "promotion, regulation and control of efficient use of water in irrigation, municipal and industrial uses."
This was decided in the first meeting of the Advisory Board of the National Water Mission that was established as part of the National Action Plan on Climate Change.
It was also decided that for improving "water use efficiency" by 20 per cent, the Mission will review the National and State Water Policies and prepare Sate-specific Action Plans for water sector "through consultation process". Fifteen "prospective consultants" have already been short-listed for preparing State-specific plans for the sector.
During the first meeting here on Thursday the members were informed that, "The National Bureau of Water Use Efficiency, will have the responsibility of improving water use efficiency across various sectors namely irrigation, drinking water supply, power generation and industry." Harish Rawat, Water Resources Minister, chaired the meeting.
The Bureau will take up five benchmarking irrigation projects in parts of the country to demonstrate water use efficiency through water supply on volumetric basis, empowering Water Users Associations to price water and collect water charges and demonstrating state-of-the-art technologies.
States will have to establish Water Regulatory Authorities for overseeing water pricing and mandatory water audits. Several States have in the past expressed reservations on such a move.
The Mission will issue guidelines to States for basin-wise uses of water for irrigation, drinking and industrial use. At the centre of the plan is the strategy to open up the water sector and incentivise States that reform based on the principle that "incentivising is more effective in bringing out reforms."
Simultaneously, studies will be undertaken on impact of climate change, if any, on water resources.
"We want to raise the water use efficiency by 20 per cent in two years," Mr. Rawat told journalists.
The inter-departmental meeting was attended among others by State Irrigation and Water Resources Ministers from Arunachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh who are members on the Board.
During 2013-14, water use efficiency is targeted to be raised by five per cent.
With funding and technical assistance from the Asian Development Bank, the Ministry will initiate a National Water Use Efficiency Improvement Support Programme to identify "priority actions".
The Central Water Commission has identified 138 major and 73 medium irrigation projects for baseline study of water use efficiency in two years.
Towards this purpose, Secretary, Water Resources S.K. Sarkar, in the ministry's annual meeting with Principle and Irrigation Secretaries on Saturday asked States to adopt an integrated water resources planning approach at the basin level for water conservation, recharge and management of aquifers and improvement of water use efficiency.
Keywords: National Bureau of Water Use Efficiency, water usage, drinking water, irrigation, water audit, Harish Rawat, water resources

Academic > Lower School (Shells)
Lower School (Shells)
The specific aims of the Shell curriculum are to give pupils an academic introduction to a large number of subjects, together with their associate skills, and to help them acquire the personal proficiency needed for a successful career at the King's School and beyond.
This is, therefore, a preparatory year prior to the public examination years in which pupils begin to find their own levels of achievement at a higher level than hitherto reached. They also begin to discern their academic preferences and towards the end of the year, they are asked to make choices for GCSE.
Shell pupils take a large number of individual subjects. However, we are keen to help them to understand that these subjects do not exist in isolation. Thus, the Shells will be introduced to some cross-curricular themes. There will be days or longer periods when the majority of the subjects (both curricular and co-curricular) will be working towards a common goal on a common theme. For example, in the Autumn term, all Shells will travel to Ypres, with introductory and follow-up activities across the curriculum. The post-examination period in the Summer term also provides opportunities for cross-curricular work and here we aim specifically to tie it in with the co-curricular as well. Expeditions and days out are arranged to develop particular themes across more than one subject area.
The Shell Guide and Handbook 2014-15 provides full details of the subjects studied within the timetable, but it is important to point out that we regard the co-curricular as an integral and essential part of our educational provision.
Heads of Lower School: Mr Richard Cook firstname.lastname@example.com and Mrs Kate Newsholme firstname.lastname@example.com

The haematopoietic protein tyrosine phosphatase (HePTP) is a negative regulator of the MAP kinases Erk1, Erk2 and p38. HePTP binds to these kinases through a kinase-interaction motif (KIM) in its non-catalytic amino terminus and inactivates them by dephosphorylating the critical phosphorylated tyrosine residue in their activation loop. Here we show that cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) phosphorylates serine residue 23 in the KIM of HePTP in vitro and in intact cells. This modification reduces binding of MAP kinases to the KIM, an effect that is prevented by mutation of serine 23 to alanine. The PKA-mediated release of MAP kinase from HePTP is sufficient to activate the kinase and to induce transcription from the c-fos promoter. Expression of a HePTP serine-23-to-alanine mutant inhibits MAP-kinase dissociation and activation and induction of transcription from the c-fos promoter. We conclude that HePTP not only controls the activity of MAP kinases, but also mediates crosstalk between the cAMP system and the MAP-kinase cascade.

You say "I can compile glibc-..., but when I try to make the package..." - compiling and making are pretty much the same thing. Do you mean you completed it successfully in chapter 5, but now can't build it in chapter 6 ? If there is any output from autoconf above what you've quoted, it might be useful. Alternatively, if you are still in chapter 5 then I think you need to fully install autoconf on your host distro. As far as I can see, you never said which distro you're using.

High school juniors being offered free ACT, SAT tests
April 13, 2010 at 10:03 p.m.
Updated April 12, 2010 at 11:13 p.m.
Students who are currently juniors in Victoria school district should contact their school counselor for information on the free test and the registration process.
Registration deadlines for both the ACT and SAT are approaching.
Public high school juniors now have the opportunity to take a college entrance exam at no charge.
The juniors may now take their choice of the ACT or SAT at the one-time expense to the State of Texas.
The funding for the one-time test fee came from the Texas Legislature and can equate to a savings for college-bound students of about $45 to $50.
Memorial High School Senior Campus Leader Counselor Alice Shimek said the school's counselors have vouchers and code numbers that will allow juniors to register at no charge for either the ACT or the SAT. Registration is open for the June administration of the college entrance exams.
Shimek noted that typically about half the students take a college entrance exam. "We are hoping this will encourage more students to take the test," she said. She added that some students may already qualify for a fee waiver based on the family's economic status.
Superintendent Bob Moore echoed Shimek's comments saying, "We've been trying to talk to students for years about the opportunities that college brings to them."
"We have so many students, however, who think they can't afford college," Moore said. "With financial aide and scholarships, college can be a reality for many more of our students and not having to pay for the admissions testing helps to take some of the bite out of the costs of getting into college."

Alastair Cross
COMPANY: Blue-Zoo Animation.
FAVOURITE MOVIE ONE LINER: Ooh tough one…maybe "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle" from Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
PROJECTS : One of the first jobs I did as a freelancer was some work on a corporate experience for BP as part of their Olympics showcase. They wanted a mixture of live action and CG projected and aligned onto 3 walls and the floor, of a specially built room. It was a baptism of fire but really rewarding to see it all come together in the actual space!
WHY VFX? I've always loved computer graphics. Games initially caught my interest but I became more and more interested in the effects used in films. I love the blend of artistic creativity and technical prowess that's needed to make it all come to life on the big screen. I honestly wouldn't want to work in any other field.
ABOUT? I did a degree in Information & Communications Technology at Trinity College, Dublin and worked for IBM for several years after that. I did well there and learned a huge amount, but didn't find it stimulating in any way. So I began to wonder how well I would do working in a field that really interested me. After some research and recommendations, I packed it all in, moved to London and did a VFX course at Escape. It's been tough, but hugely rewarding.
ADVICE: Be prepared for some stiff, (but healthy!) competition. One of the nice things about this industry is that everyone puts in 110%, which can be exhausting, but there's a real camaraderie about it, and it never seems as bad when you're all in it together. It has to be something you really want to do.

Arizona Cardinals
Whisenhunt: There's a 'chance' Hoyer could be active
It's safe to say the Arizona Cardinals are still looking for their quarterback of the future.
John Skelton, Kevin Kolb and Ryan Lindley have all started games for the Cards this season, and the results have been underwhelming at the very least.
Last week, a fourth quarterback was added to the fold when the team made a waiver claim on veteran Brian Hoyer, who had been cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers. With all hope of a playoff berth gone and the season winding down to its final two games, Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt says Hoyer could be active for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
"There's a chance," Whisenhunt said Thursday. "We've got so many guys right now that are up in the air because of the injury situation. That's the thing that takes priority -- making sure that we have enough depth at positions. If we have the opportunity, we'll certainly look at that."
Whisenhunt says it's hard to judge what the Cardinals have in Hoyer without seeing him take some snaps in a live game situation -- something he hasn't done since 2011.
"Brian's looked good, but you need to see him in game action, too," he said. "I like what we've seen from him on the practice field, he's adapted very quickly and made some good throws out here."
Whisenhunt hasn't named a starter at quarterback for the Chicago game but the smart money is on rookie Ryan Lindley, who earned his first NFL win last Sunday in the Cardinals' 38-10 triumph over the Detroit Lions.
Lindley was far from spectacular in the game, completing 14-of-21 passes for 104 yards and an interception, but didn't cripple the Cardinals with costly mistakes.
"The interception early in the game wasn't good but he bounced back from that and I think he handled himself well," Whisenhunt said. "The one thing that I liked about it was some of his throws down the boundary. He made a good throw to Michael (Floyd) early, he made another good throw to Larry (Fitzgerald) later where they got the interference penalty.
"And if you're going to get pressure, like he got in that game, like you anticipate getting against Chicago, in some of those outside matchups, you've got to be able to make an accurate throw and get it down the field, and that's where some of the things we've seen from Ryan really excited us."
The Cardinals host Chicago Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium in what will be the 73rd consecutive sellout since the venue opened in 2006.

I was slightly hesitant about booking because of the so-so reviews, but this place was awesome! Great location close to the hip part of town as well as the central old town, friendly staff, decent free breakfast, and the facilities were above average. We stayed in a private double and it did the trick. Definitely recommend.

Cleanliness and facilities need attention, mildew on shower curtains, soap empty in all showers. There was obvious daily cleaning but equally obvious that it was a lick and a promise cleaning, would see dirt or mess in some locations for all four days we were there.
