Utah State Football Off And Running Following First Practice Friday
Aug. 3, 2012 LOGAN, Utah - Utah State's football team held its first official practice of the 2012 season Friday afternoon as 104 players participated in the two-hour work out on the USU practice fields. Among the group were 19 returning starters (8-offense; 6-defense; 5-special teams) and 45 returning lettermen (19-offense; 20-defense; 6-special teams), including 19 seniors. After the players worked out in helmets, practice jerseys and shorts, fourth-year Aggie head coach Gary Andersen was pleased with the team's energy and effort on the first day. "I thought it was a good start, a lot of energy, which you would expect," said Andersen. "We got to look at a lot of things and I'm excited to go inside and look at the film. I thought we competed, had a lot of energy and a lot of excitement, and again that is to be expected on the first day. As is the case with everyone in the country right now, we have a long ways to go, but we will evaluate today's practice, come out tomorrow and kind of do the same thing as we did today." Junior safety Cameron Sanders provided the opening day highlights with a pair of interceptions, while a pair of freshmen also caught Andersen's attention in wide receiver Bruce Natson and running back Kelvin Lee. Andersen also commented on the team's off-season conditioning program and the benefits he saw from that during the first practice. "The players appear to be in good shape, and it looks like they did a nice job in the summer of preparing their bodies. It looks like we are where we left off after spring ball from a conditioning standpoint, which is a huge positive, and some guys have gained some weight and gotten bigger and stronger," added Andersen.
Friday was the first of 29 practices for Utah State leading up to its season-opener at home against Southern Utah on Thursday, Aug. 30 at 6 p.m. As part of the NCAA's five-day "acclimatization period," the Aggies will again be in shorts and helmets Saturday and will add shoulder pads on Monday. USU's first practice in full pads will be on Wednesday, Aug. 8 and the first two-a-day is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 9. All practices next week will be held on the USU practice field leading up to its first scrimmage, which will be held on Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 11 at 10 a.m. For the first time since 1996, the Aggies will open a season with back-to-back home games, hosting a pair of in-state foes in Southern Utah on Thursday, Aug. 30 and Utah on Friday, Sept. 7. Both games are slated for 6 p.m. (MT) starts from Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium. The Aggies' game against Utah will be on ESPN2. Season tickets and two-game packages can be purchased in person at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum weekdays between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Fans can also buy tickets over the phone by calling 1-888-USTATE-1, or online at www.utahstateaggies.com/tickets.

Jock Reynolds: Next Move Is BiP's

Posted to: Arts & Culture, Visual Arts
(Updated Friday morning with Yale gallery response.) We'd love the money. But higher artistic principles are at stake.
That, in effect, is Artspace's response to an offer by the Yale University Art Gallery to donate a controversial new public-art piece by celebrated street artist Believe in Believe (BiP) for an annual fund-raising auction.
"We will honor your request and make it known to the Yale University Art Gallery that we cannot accept their proposal," Artspace Director Helen Kauder wrote to BiP Thursday.
"We are also moved and grateful to you for your very generous offer to make another work that could be included in our fundraiser, and we hope that its realization and its existence will continue the dialogue generated around the questions that your efforts raise—can art can exist independent of markets and commodification? Can the artists in a community—those that give birth to the community and bring life to the streets—be the ones to define and have a say in what public community—or what public art might look like in the first place?"
BiP responded late Thursday that he "support[s] the gallery and artspace for being willing to advance public art."
And Yale gallery chief Jock Reynolds weighed in Friday, saying the next move is BiP's.
The piece that sparked all this attention and debate is a faux historical bronze plaque that BiP affixed to a brick front wall of the Yale gallery on April 1—setting off one of New Haven's great cultural debates in the process.
The gallery removed the plaque right away. Then, as Independent readers voted in favor of preserving the piece, the gallery decided to save it from the trash. It mounted a one-day exhibit by the front door. And it announced that, unless BiP reclaims the sculpture, the gallery would donate it to Artspace, the downtown gallery and arts-promotion organization, for an annual auction. BiP stated that he doesn't want the piece back. He wants it exhibited at Yale.
BiP praised the gallery's actions and intentions while philosophically disagreeing with the decision. Art shouldn't be auctioned, he declared. He suggested the piece be exhibited at Yale or destroyed. (He also Tweeted, on April 4: "as much as this is my life's work, I feel sad arguing about art when a few blocks over from the plaque, 16 year old kids are being shot.")
That sparked much philosophical debate at Artspace, of course. Director Helen Kauder sent BiP a letter Thursday informing him that following all that debate, the organization concluded it should heed his wishes and not accept the piece for auction.
BiP responded Friday on Twitter by announcing he will make good on a promise to deliver a replica of the piece for the Artspace auction. "so proud of @artspacenh and @helenk today for showing backbone. keeping promise, giving their auction the only backup plaque i made," he wrote.
That said, she made the case for why the auction helps support local art. She invited him to follow through on an offer to donate another piece. She also invited him to donate materials associated with the controversy over the plaque and/or to participate in an upcoming show on "Vagaries of the Commons." The show, opening in late July, wrestles with just the kind of concerns that BiP has put in the public forefront these days, Kauder wrote: "the porous boundaries of what is deemed public and private space, and who criticize the policing and rapid privatization of the commons. The show looks specifically to New Haven to see how we can use the marginalized spaces within the public-private binary to claim common ground for public use and will examine the legal systems that deem what type of art is suitable for funding as public art."

Click here and here to read some of the reader debate generated by BiP's piece and Yale's reaction. Click here and here to read previous stories on the episode.
Reached Thursday through an intermediary, BiP insisted he would not take his plaque back from Yale.
"you know i'd never ever ever take that plaque back," he wrote in text-messages relayed to the Independent, "or accept anyone taking it back on my behalf."
"i can't say "no one can take this from the public domain" and "then turn around, take it back for myself and sell it, that's bullshit."
"let the plaque get destroyed by the gallery so we can finally be over all this," he wrote.
Meanwhile, Yale gallery chief Jock Reynolds has been communicating with BiP over next steps, much as Reynolds took a personal interest in another underrecognized New Haven artist, Winfred Rembert, back in 2000, offering him his first major exhibition on the way to eventual national acclaim.
Reynolds reported Friday:" I will now await BiP's decision as to whether he wishes to retrieve his plaque from YUAG himself, send a personal representative to do so, or have YUAG transfer the plaque to Artspace so that it can be further exhibited there this summer as he has been invited to do by its director and curators. YUAG will be happy to honor whichever course of action the artist now chooses."

I'm glad that Artspace is doing the right thing and honoring BiP's intentions of preserving public art. It is now YUAG's turn to follow suit—they should keep the plaque for the gallery, keep it so that people can literally see their right to public art preserved.

Super cool debate on public art going on here. Love that artspace is willing to critically engage with this issue. Would be even better if they held an auction, not for a replica, but for a new public work.
posted by: phatoey129 on April 10, 2014 3:53pm
Wait, seriously, why doesn't the Yale gallery just keep it?! I mean, its an ART GALLERY, so not like they have any interest AGAINST displaying pieces of art, especially if its local and means a lot to the community. Just keep it and display it proudly as a source of pride and homage to New Haven.
posted by: New Have on April 10, 2014 3:54pm
I am impressed by the dialogue surrounding this piece. It has brought together all these different forces in the arts sphere of New Haven for an interesting discussion. Artspace's response was right on. Fingers crossed YUAG will keep the piece.
posted by: NYCcroc on April 10, 2014 4:20pm
I would be happy to put that plaque in my mobile New Haven history museum that i am currently building. It belongs in the public view in the future simply for the dialog that it created. Whether i agree with bip, Yale or Artspace is irrelevant, its apart of our local history here in New Haven.

Kauder's letter is thought-provoking and gracious, well worth a read, and thanks NHI for linking to it. But just as the plaque wasn't intended to be sold, it wasn't made with the intent to end up in a collection either—isn't part of the purpose of such a work to engage with the public, without an institution or curators mediating? Does BiP even want it in YUAG's collection?
posted by: OrangeStreet on April 10, 2014 5:41pm
If Believe In People wants the piece to be either displayed or destroyed, then the Gallery should do one or the other. Believe In People is adding to New Haven in a way that is complicated, new, and unregulated. To leave his or her art "out in the open" as he or she does is a great risk, and the only protection this work has is whatever protection the community, including the Gallery, gives it. If display or destruction is the protection he or she is asking for for this work, the Gallery should give it.
posted by: MarkJacobsFKLM on April 10, 2014 6:11pm
A public art piece should remain as a public art piece or be destroyed. Moreover, the effect of bip's work has left a lasting impression on New Haven. It makes sense to keep it as part of an art collection.
posted by: robn on April 10, 2014 7:53pm
Great. So If I and others in town who may have artistic ambitions decide to start hanging my art on YUAG exterior walls, will we too then be included in this internationally renowned collection? IS BIP's blatant attention-whoring and buddy-spam actually gaining him a place in the Yale Art Gallery?
Please people. Artistic creativity is distinctive from marketing creativity in one very significant way. Great art isn't trying to sell you something (in this case, what's for sale is the image of BIP as a great artist; you buy it, he/she profits).
posted by: AndTheFuture on April 10, 2014 8:06pm
The beauty of art is it's ability to transcend boundaries. Whether those boundaries are cultural or legal, art is the one release society has for free expression. This is a fascinating predicament for YUAG. By no choice of the museum, they find themselves between a rock and a hard place, and their ultimate decision has the potential to unpredictably influence street art's place in the modern age. Very exciting!

I agree with Phatoey129, why doesn't the Yale gallery just keep it?! As an institute of higher education, I think it would also be a good opportunity for the museum to be inclusive and offer BiP a space to show more of his work. He has done a 3-story high piece for the Museum of Contemporary art in Taipei, Taiwan last year. BiP belongs to New Haven. We don't want BiP to leave.
posted by: 14chainz on April 11, 2014 12:10am
This piece sure has generated a lot of buzz and initiated a discussion on the current role of art that is much needed. I really hope they leave this piece as a free gift to the public, rather than selling it (even if it is for charity). Auctioning it off would go against the purpose that the artist installed it in the first place.

OrangeStreet (among others making largely the same point) wrote:
"If Believe In People wants the piece to be either displayed or destroyed, then the Gallery should do one or the other."
Personally, I think Ms. Kauder's response was fair and gracious given the outcry from BiP's friends posting on this forum and reiterating his expressed wishes. But I don't see how those wishes in any way impose an obligation on the Yale Art Gallery. I think they can be trusted to be the best judge of what they want to be in their collection. 'Display or destroy' is a no-win scenario; either be held hostage, as robn warns, or ride out what's sure to be a PR headache.
The plaque is a nice piece of work—well-crafted and convincing, and it's mildly amusing but the satirical faux historical marker is well-trod territory, not exactly avant-garde or groundbreaking. Neither is sneaking things into prestigious art collections. At least Banksy gets them all the way inside.
I like BiP's paintings and agree that he's "adding to New Haven in a way that's complicated" (if not particularly new). But he doesn't want to turn into that guest or relative who makes a 'gift' of some piece or art or tschotske that comes with onerous expectations of how it has to be handled or displayed.

Having seen a mind-mending exhibit in L.A. of graffiti a few years ago, it's not so easy to label what is in the museum "art" and outside it "not art".
If Duchamp could call a urinal "art - because I say so" - why such outrage Robn at BIP?
Warhol saw "art" as a commodity that could be mass produced and the zillions paid for all sorts of things (think Damien Hirst) has to make us step back and re-think our definitions.
Sometimes "art" discomforts. That YUAG is struggling to find the right gesture for BIP's piece does speak well of them. Of course selling it would get us right back to Warhol's cynical - and accurate view.
Let's enjoy the joke and lighten up.

I love Helen Kauder.
BiP is a child. A very talented child, but a child. You don't just get to demand that a world renowned art gallery display your work. And why destroy the thing when it could benefit a local gallery that supports local artists and provides free access to art, much of it locally produced? I'm as capable of academic navel gazing as the next college town resident with too many letters after my name but this really takes the cake. Kudos to Helen Kauder to being sensitive and politic about this but really, BiP, this is silly.
posted by: robn on April 11, 2014 10:13am
The question is NOT, "is this art?" The question is, "can anyone exhibit their art anywhere they want?" If your answer to the latter is "yes" then you remove both popular and scholarly judgment from the equation and the notion of disciplined hard work and exceptional talent get thrown out the window.
Even if the piece itself is weak, the boundary test is clever (amplified by partisans participating in the performance). However, its not so clever that it merits admittance to an internationally renown museum. If I were Jock I'd take the piece back outdoors, lean it against a wall, and let the public have it.

Oh "Land that I love" and the people in it!!
Just to think how an ingenius piece of April Fools art work can cause so much communication and problem solving amongst us is comforting and makes me proud to be an American.
BIP, maybe this was not what you set out to do, but Thank you for this (maybe not so new found), but a little neglected spirit!

Go Artspace!
I've never seen a satirical plaque before, and I went to RISD, where we had people doing pretty much everything under the sun. Read: smearing pudding on their genitals and dragging them across paper. Story for another time I guess.
Whether the museum hangs on to this is irrelevant, what BIP did was rather genius. Seems like his coming-of-age as an artist. Not a fan of the paintings, which seem a little Banksy-esque, sorry :(
posted by: robn on April 11, 2014 1:39pm
RISD students should get out more.
posted by: JudyLove on April 11, 2014 2:30pm
From your own links, here are pictures of those "plaques", which turn out to be stamps and signs. No plaques?
You also double-posted one of the stories that had *no pictures* but called the objects, "signs", indicating that the last link is probably also not a plaque, at least in the mind of the person who wrote the article.
RISD students get out plenty, thank you very much. :)
I'm sure you didn't do it intentionally, but that's misleading, and you need to be more careful. I think we all understand your general point. It's good to have a critical eye, and we can at least agree that this art is very controversial.
posted by: robn on April 11, 2014 10:39pm
We certainly do NOT agree that this art is controversial. I would define it more as ill-crafted crass self promotion.
For more examples of precedent try Situationism or more close to home and more recent (if you call the 80s more recent) try Craig Baldwin. Appropriation and transgression can be meaningful when motivated by art and not marketing.

A bizarre petition to the White House disclaims responsibility for the ferry disaster off Korea's southwest coast by a religious sect led by the ferry operator's owner and demands an end to "attacks" against the church.
The petition was posted on the "We the People" section of the White House website on April 25 by a person identifying themselves as E.C. of Bedford Hills, New York.
It apparently objects to the focus of the ongoing investigation on the Salvationist sect known as Guwonpa and the owner of the ferry company, who set it up.
"While the direct responsibility goes to the crew and the operating company, the media is abnormally focusing on the associated church organization who has no direct involvement in the day-to-day operations, while distorting it as a cult," E.C. writes.
"Government authorities launched an unprecedented investigation, including a complete church raid, directing the public anger away from the naval police, the national disaster control and government authorities."
The petition has garnered some 2,400 signatures. Their full names were not disclosed, but most appear to be members of the sect from outside the U.S.
The White House is obliged to respond if a petition gets 100,000 signatures.
A significant portion of the staff of ferry operator Chongjaehin Marine are members of the born-again sect.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Baltimore, Maryland
BALTIMORE -- The Kansas City Royals finally have a winning streak, thanks to a couple home runs and a 45-foot single.
Mark Teahen led off the 11th inning by reaching on a dribbler down the line, stole second and scored on a single by John Buck, giving Kansas City a 4-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.By taking two straight from Baltimore to open a four-game series, the Royals have their first winning streak since a three-game run on July 4-6. Billy Butler hit a two-run homer and Willie Bloomquist added a solo shot for Kansas City."That's called two in a row. We like it," manager Trey Hillman said. "It means a lot to me. I think these guys still have a lot of pride. ... It's not too late to start a positive streak the same way we had a negative streak getting started out of the All-Star break."Teahen opened the 11th by topping a ball down the first-base line. Rookie catcher Matt Wieters and pitcher Danys Baez (4-4) watched and hoped the ball would roll foul, but it stopped on the chalk halfway down the line."It was tough to see that ground ball," Baez said.Two outs later, Buck delivered a two-out liner to right."You just have to run to the base and hope it stays fair," Teahen said. "It did and it worked out. We were due for a little break here and there."Jamey Wright (1-3) pitched two perfect innings and Joakim Soria got three outs for his 17th save.Wieters had a career-high four hits and Adam Jones homered for the Orioles, who have lost nine of 11 since the All-Star break. Baltimore outhit the Royals 11-10 but went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position."We certainly had a lot of guys up in situations when we could have broken through, but it didn't happen," manager Dave Trembley lamented.Jones said, "We had 10 hits or 11 hits, so I wouldn't say the hits were hard to come by. I'd just say the big hit was terribly hard to come by."Orioles starter Jason Berken gave up six hits in six innings and left with a 3-2 lead, which put him in position to earn his first win in 12 starts since his major-league debut on May 26."Berken did what he had to do. He left the game with a lead and pitched well enough to win," Trembley said.But Bloomquist tied it in the eighth with a solo homer off reliever Jim Johnson.Baltimore scored a run in the sixth to snap a tie that had held since the first inning. Nolan Reimold led off with a single and averted a force play by taking off for second before Melvin Mora hit a one-out grounder to third. Wieters then lost his bat after making contact on a soft liner that barely cleared the glove of leaping second baseman Alberto Callaspo, and Reimold scored easily.Royals starter Brian Bannister, who gave up three runs in six innings, remained winless on the road since May 24.Butler hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and Jones countered with a two-run shot in the bottom half. It was Jones' 16th home run of the season and fourth in 11 games since the All-Star break.Baltimore loaded the bases in the fifth, but Aubrey Huff hit into a force play at the plate and Nick Markakis grounded out on a 3-2 pitch.Game notes
Reimold went 2-for-4, his fifth consecutive multihit game. ... Bannister has gone five straight starts on the road without a win. ... Baltimore DH Luke Scott went 0-for-5 and is 2-for-32 since the All-Star break.

text: A body of civil, moral, and religious enactments, found in the last four Books of the Pentateuch and ascribed to Moses by an unbroken Jewish and Christian tradition. The foundation of the whole Law is the Decalogue (Exodus 20), and the nucleus is the "Book of the Covenant" (Exodus 20-23). The Civil Laws are mostly found in Exodus 18-23, and Deuteronomy 16-26. The Moral Laws are found in the texts already mentioned (Exodus 20-23), supplemented by Leviticus, 11-20, and Deuteronomy 5. The Religious and Ceremonial Laws, referring to persons, places, days of worship, to sacrifices and holy things, are found in Exodus, 25-30, and especially in Leviticus, 1-27. The superiority of the Mosaic Legislation comes chiefly from its religious character, as it proclaims God as the sole fount and sanction of all laws, and from its moral prescriptions which are summed up in the love of God and of the neighbor. Since it was destined to pave the way for the coming of the Redeemer and of the New Law, its figurative character is very much in evidence (cf. Galatians 4; Hebrews 10).New Catholic Dictionary

Clemente's statistical impact still significant
August, 18, 2012
By ESPN Stats & Information | ESPN.com
MLB Photos via Getty Images/Louis RequenaRoberto Clemente was a do-it-all kind of player.
You may have seen a few features on ESPN's baseball coverage related to Clemente this week, and with that in mind, we thought we'd offer a brief statistical reminiscence of Clemente's career.
Hit Machine
Clemente had 3,000 career hits, all with the Pirates with the first one coming in 1955 and the last one coming in 1972. That's the second-most hits of anyone in that span, trailing only Hank Aaron's 3,260. Clemente's 166 triples were 48 more than the player with the next-most (Willie Mays).
Clemente's 1,877 hits were the most of any player during the decade of the 1960s.
He still has the most hits and highest batting average for players born in Puerto Rico 40 years after the end of his major league career.
The Arm
Clemente was known for having an amazing throwing arm. He had 266 outfield assists. Among players who debuted in the major leagues since the end of World War II in 1945, that's by fare the most outfield assists.
Clemente and Mays share the record for the most Gold Glove Awards by outfielders with 12 each.
Big-Game Player
Clemente's Pirates won both World Series in which he played, with the wins in 1960 and 1971 each coming in seven-game series'.
Clemente had at least one hit in 22 of the 26 postseason games in which he played. He has the most games played (14) of anyone who had a World Series hit in every game in which he played.
Clemente's 14-game World Series hitting streak ranks tied for third-best all-time with Derek Jeter, trailing only Hank Bauer (17) and Marquis Grissom (15).
His hits were important ones too. In Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, his eighth-inning infield single cut the Yankees lead to a run, just prior to a go-ahead home run by Hal Smith.
In Game 7 of the 1971 World Series, he opened the scoring of an eventual 2-1 Pirates win with a home run against Baltimore Orioles starter Mike Cuellar.
Overall Value
Clemente ranks in the top 20 in Wins Above Replacement since the end of World War II, ahead of all-time greats Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, and Johnny Bench amongst others.
His 89.8 Wins Above Replacement ranks 14th in major-league history among those who played at least half of their games in the outfield, better than Joe DiMaggio, Tony Gwynn, and Dave Winfield.
That WAR total ranks second in the history of the Pirates franchise, trailing only Honus Wagner.

My boss forwarded this article to me to share with my hubby.

There are some sculptures that are so unique and visionary, they're hard to forget. Los Angeles-based artist Mike Ross' Big Rig Jig is one of them. Built in 2007, "Big Rig Jig is constructed from two discarded tanker trucks. The work serves both as a sculpture and an architectural space: visitors may enter the lower truck, climb through the tankers, and emerge through a portal at the top. The rear axles of the upper tanker serve as a viewing platform, forty-two feet in the air." We got in touch with Mike to get the story behind the mind bender.
1. What inspired you to make Big Rig Jig?
I am fascinated by power in all its forms, both raw physical force and more abstract forms of political and economic power. And even more broadly, the basic power of humanity to make its own world. The transformed tanker…

- USB 2.0 vs. USB 3.0 SATA Dock Performance
LED Behavior
There is a single green LED on the front dock which will stay green as long as the device is powered and in active standby.
During data transfer, the LED will blink rapidly. The green LED should turn off to indicate that the dock has powered down after a drive is ejected by the OS, however some USB hubs will cause the drive to stay in powered mode and the light to remain green with the drive powered even though the OS has safely disconnected the volume.
A slightly slower blink indicates a sleeping drive. The same slower blink also indicates a faulty power supply- if your dock continues to blink green after waking the PC, turning the power switch on the back off and then back on again should resolve the issue. If you continue to observe a blinking green light after power cycling the dock, email email@example.com or post to our forums.
The LED is not turning on when I have a drive inserted and AC power connected, but it does come on when I connect a USB cable. Is something wrong with my dock or power adapter?
The power LED will only come on when all three of the following conditions are met:
- AC power is connected
- A hard drive/SSD is present
- There is a USB cable connecting the dock to a host PC
My drive isn't spinning up, even though the green power LED is on and I can see the docking station in device manager/system information.
The SATA connector at the bottom of the dock likely isn't lined up for the pins to connect: since the dock has a little "breathing room" it is possible to insert a drive where it seems to be fully seated but is in fact only sitting in the dock, and not really plugged in. Taking special care to line up the SATA connectors when inserting the disk can help avoid this.
My drive gets very hot to the touch during use.
Many customers are not aware that hard drives will run very warm during use, as these are typically inaccessible and in a PC or laptop's fan-cooled environment. Having a drive run hot to the touch is normal, especially during heavy use such as during initial system backups or when cloning a disk. For further technical details, Google has published a detailed white paper that concludes:
Failures do not increase when the average temperature increases. In fact, there is a clear trend showing that lower temperatures are associated with higher failure rates. Only at very high temperatures is there a slight reversal of this trend…
If you find that your drives are dismounting or disconnecting during use, or are not seeing drives sleep when your system sleeps, a firmware update should help. For details and instructions to apply this update, read our blog post on the USB3-SATA-U3 (ASMedia 1051e) Firmware Update.
My drive is spinning, and detected in disk manager/disk utility, however I get an error about needing to initialize the volume- even though there is already data on my drive.
A firmware update adding the following features is now available:
- Improved support for 512e "Advanced Format" drives.
- Spin down disks after 10 minutes of inactivity, resume on access.
- Spin down disks on system sleep, resume on system wake.
For details and instructions to apply this update, read our blog post on the USB3-SATA-U3 (ASMedia 1051e) Firmware Update.
What does my PC need for the USB 3.0 SATA dock to work?
To get USB 3.0 speeds, you must have a USB 3.0 controller in your laptop or desktop, with available ports. The USB 3.0 standard specifies that port connectors will be blue, so it's easy to distinguish from USB 2.0 ports.
The product, however, is backward compatible with USB 2.0 so you can use or move the docking station to any USB-capable computer, and have it work at full function, just with lower transfer speeds. To connect via USB 2.0, use any standard full-sized USB 2.0 A to B cable (one USB 2.0 cable included in the package).
What size of SATA drives are supported?
The latest firmware adds support for GPT format to allow compatibility with larger storage devices. We have tested with drives up to 4TB.
Note that particular operating systems may have their own lower limits. For example, Windows XP limits drive size to 2TB per partition.
Will the USB 3.0/2.0 SATA Hard Drive Docking Station work with USB 3.0 Hubs?
With Windows PCs most hubs should not be a problem. The ASMedia 1051E chipset is great for performance, and one of the major benefits over the older LucidPort model is more resistance to noise generated by extra connections, cables, etc. Which allows for more reliable compatibility with a wider range of devices.
When using with the latest 2012/2013 Macs, we recommend connecting the SATA Docking Station directly to a USB 3.0 port on your computer. Compatibility of USB 3.0 hubs on the latest 2012/2013 Macs is still evolving, and problematic hubs may cause disconnect issues.
How should I insert drives?
Slide drives gently into the top of docking station bay, with SATA connectors aligned. Do not exert force. Drives will attach and rest on the SATA connector with the drive centered in the dock, cradled with space for airflow on all sides, so no fan is required. Drives are easily removed and reinserted with no cables or connectors to attach.
There's no disk in the package – do I need to install any software?
There is no software to install. For both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, the Plugable USB3-SATA-U3 is able to use the standard USB Mass Storage class drivers provided by Windows XP and later, and all recent versions of Mac and Linux.
Does the power supply switch for different regions or is it tied to US voltage and frequency?
The switching power adapter with our Plugable USB 3.0/2.0 SATA Hard Drive Docking Station does indeed support international standard inputs of 100-240V ~ 50/60 Hz 0.8A. Output is 12V/2A and comes with a US standard plug. You will not need a power converter as long as the input is within the given ranges. You might need a plug adapter for different regions which is not included.
How do I power the drive down when my computer is turned off or sleeping?
The Plugable USB3-SATA-U3 has a power switch that is used to power down the drive when not in use.
What's included in the package?
- Main SATA Docking Station Unit
- USB 3.0 Cable
- USB 2.0 Cable
- 12V/2A AC Power Adapter

This is a pencil drawing I've been working on over the past couple of weeks just because I could. I also wanted to test out some new pencils I bought while I was in college, but never opened them. So here you are! I guess this is as close to a Christmas image as you're gonna get from me this year. There's snow on the mountains, so that counts, right?
Lol, anyway, this was initially supposed to be a quicker drawing, but it got much more complex when I started to really like how it looked. And yes, I did fade it around the edges like that in real life.
Derwent pencils, H, HB, 2B, 4B, and little bit of 6B. My own refs and a combination of WetCanvas RIL images used.

Cesare Prandelli admits that his Italy side are 'not sharp enough yet' as they prepare to face England on Saturday.
Warm-up matches have failed to provide the kind of preparation the Azzurri were hoping for, with an inability to generate positive results piling pressure on a squad that reached the final of Euro 2012.
Prandelli concedes that there is plenty of room for improvement within his ranks ahead of a World Cup opener in Manaus.
He is, however, convinced that Italy will be ready and that everyone is prepared to give their all for the good of the collective cause.
Prandelli said: "We are not sharp enough yet. We have done the physical work, trained hard and are in good shape.
"But we know we must improve before we start the tournament against England. We can improve and we will improve.
"Character-wise, the team will not disappoint and we will fight for the shirt and for every ball."
Prandelli has been warned by one of his predecessors, Giovanni Trapattoni, that 'the coach of the Italian national team is like a condemned man who doesn't know the date of his own execution'.
He continues to ignore the critics, though, with each passing tournament seeing Italy written off before they have kicked a ball in ager.
Prandelli added: "At the start of every tournament there is always pessimism in Italy – that's how we are.
"Maybe psychologically we need this feeling of insecurity and criticism.
"I am calm as we have worked well. Now we will work on our speed and pace."

Some people say, a 10 Bolt with DR's is automatic destruction, others say they're stronger than people say they are. Should i invest all that money, or not? I'm leaning towards doing it, and not worrying about 10 Bolt anymore. What should I do?

Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) |
The Cardigan Welsh corgi /ˈkɔrɡi/ is one of two separate dog breeds known as Welsh corgis that originated in Wales, the other being the Pembroke Welsh corgi. It is one of the oldest herding breeds.[citation needed]
Cardigan Welsh corgis can be extremely loyal family dogs.[1] They are able to live in a variety of settings, from apartments to farms. For their size, however, they need a surprising amount of daily physical and mental stimulation. Cardigans are a very versatile breed and a wonderful family companion.
Pembrokes and Cardigans first appeared together in dog shows in 1925 when they were shown under the rules of The Kennel Club in Britain.[2] The Corgi Club was founded in December, 1925 in Carmarthen in South Wales.[2] It is reported that the local members favored the Pembroke breed, so a club for Cardigan enthusiasts was founded a year later (1926).[2] Both groups have worked hard to ensure the appearance and type of breed are standardized through careful selective breeding.[2] Pembrokes and Cardigans were officially recognized by the Kennel Club in 1928 and were lumped together under the heading Welsh Corgis.[2] In 1934, the two breeds were recognized individually and shown separately.
Cardigans are said to originate from the Teckel family of dogs, which also produced Dachshunds.[3] They are among the oldest of all herding breeds, believed to have been in existence in Wales for over 3,000 years.[citation needed]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2012) |
There is an old folktale that says that Queen Victoria was traveling down a country road one day until her carriage came up on a fallen tree branch. While wondering how she would get across, a fairy came out of nowhere and, in order to assist the queen, produced two corgis out of thin air. One was the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the other the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. The two Corgis moved the tree for the queen, and they say that is why the breed is currently prized by the Queen of England.
Another old folktale features a Cardigan Welsh Corgi battling an ancient dragon.
Cardigans have never had the same popularity as Pembrokes, probably due to the influence of the Royal family. However they have found their own place in many parts of the world. Cardigan Welsh corgis can compete in dog sports also known as dog agility trials, obedience, showmanship, flyball, tracking, and herding events.
The phrase "cor gi" is sometimes translated as "dwarf dog" in Welsh.[citation needed] The breed was often called "yard-long dogs" in older times.[citation needed] Today's name comes from their area of origin: Ceredigion in Wales.
Originally used only as a farm guardian, they eventually took on the traits of a cattle drover, herder, and many more.[4] They are still highly valued for their herding, working, and guarding skills, as well as their companionship.
The Cardigan is a long, low dog with upright ears and a fox brush tail.[6] The old American Kennel Club standard called it an "Alsatian on short legs".[citation needed] The Cardigan's tail is long (unlike the Pembroke Welsh corgi, whose tail may be long,[7] naturally bobbed or docked[8]). Cardigans come in a variety of colors including any shade of red, sable, or brindle, as well as black, with or without tan, brindle or blue merle, with or without tan or brindle points. Other unofficial colors can occur, such as red merle, but these colors are not considered acceptable per the Cardigan standard. They usually have white on the neck, chest, legs, muzzle, underneath, tip of the tail and as a blaze on the head, known as the "Irish pattern."[citation needed] Other markings include ticking on the legs and muzzle, smutty muzzles and monk's hoods, especially on sables (a pattern of darker tipped hairs over a basic red coat color.[citation needed]. An average Cardigan is around 10.5 to 13 inches (260 to 315 mm) tall at the withers and weighs from 30 to 38 lb. (13.6 to 17.2 kg) for the male and 25 to 34 lb. (11.3 to 15.4 kg) for the female.[citation needed]
Herding instincts and trainability can be measured at noncompetitive herding tests. Corgis exhibiting basic herding instincts can be trained to compete in herding trials.[9]
Cardigan Welsh corgis can compete in dog sports also known as dog agility trials, obedience, showmanship, flyball, tracking, and herding events.
UK Kennel Club survey puts the average life span of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi at 11.7 years.[citation needed] The most common causes of death for the breed were cancer (28.3%), old age (24.6%), and neurological disorders (15.2%).[10]

Man appeals conviction for Anthony rest area murder
POSTED: Monday, April 8, 2013 - 9:41pm
UPDATED: Monday, April 8, 2013 - 9:44pm
Santa Fe, NM (KTSM) — A man convicted of murder for shooting a man outside a rest area in Anthony, New Mexico isn't done pleading his case.
19 year-old Irvin Ramirez is now appealing his conviction of life in prison before the New Mexico Supreme Court. Ramirez was just 16 when he shot and killed 20 year-old Adam Espinosa. Espinosa had pulled into the rest stop along the border to try and get some sleep. Ramirez and another man then approached and tried to rob Espinosa, but he refused to comply and Ramirez shot him.
Ramirez's lawyers claim the judge improperly instructed the jury on the murder charge.

Chokwe Lumumba Makes Bid for Mayor of Jackson
Human rights lawyer and former Republic of New Afrika official Chokwe Lumumba has his sights set on the top job in Mississippi's biggest city. "It give us an opportunity to demonstrate that we are great in terms of administration of human rights – something that would Martin Luther King proud," said Lumumba, who is a city councilman. Jackson, the state capital, is 80 percent Black. Back in 1971, when the Republic of New Afrika came to town, "there was only one Black on the police force, and he could only arrest other Black people," said Lumumba.
Rally for Temple University African American Studies
"There has never been an educational institution in America that truly wanted to educate Black people properly," said Dr. Molefi Asante, speaking to a student rally in support of Temple University's beleaguered African American Studies program. Asante is credited with establishing Temple's doctoral program in African American studies, in 1988. Since then, "every successive administration has sought to destroy the program," he said.
Blacks Saddled with Obama for Eternity
President Obama's "Kill List" and preventive detention legislation "have created conditions for people of color in this country that makes our survival very tenuous, indeed," said Dhoruba bin Wahad, a former leader in the Black Panther Party and co-founder of the Black Liberation Army who spent 19 years in prison for his political activities. Speaking at a rally for political prisoners. bin Wahad said: "The sad part is, we're going to be saddled with Obama for the rest of our lives, as the senior, elder statesman of Black politics in America."
Double-Barreled Protest Against NAACP
Demonstrators will gather at the Washington offices and Baltimore headquarters of the NAACP, on April 3 and 4, respectively. Organizer Rev.

"The people on the top are being paid, and yet they don't do anything" for the membership or the masses of Black people, said Pinkney.

Mutulu's Call: Securing the Release of Our Captured Fighters

How does a fractured movement fight for release of activists facing false charges, while simultaneously defending the rights of other imprisoned freedom fighters to resist oppression by any means necessary? "Standard leftist language would have us defend our freedom fighters merely as unjustly treated individuals, not as righteous insurgents." But what about our inherent right to self-determination?

Black Ministers Form "Occupy The Dream" in "Lock-Stop" with OWS
"The Black church cannot afford to sit on the sidelines, but must be on the front lines of this fight for justice," said Rev. Jamal Bryant, of the newly-formed Occupy the Dream movement. Bryant, who was joined at a Washington press conference by former NAACP executive director Dr. Benjamin Chavis and Occupy Wall Street activist David DeGraw, said African American clergy will demand an immediate moratorium on housing foreclosures, strengthening of rights to Pell Grants for college education, and $100 billion from Wall Street for economic development. "These companies owe a debt to the citizens that made them the wealthy entities that they are," said Rev. Bryant, calling the sum a "drop in the bucket." Occupy the Dream will target Federal Reserve sites in various cities on January 16, Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday, depositing crutches, walkers and wheelchairs at the scene to symbolize how the economy has been crippled by the quasi-public agency's policies.
"We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the African American community in this campaign for economic fairness and justice, said David DeGraw, reading a statement written by "about 30" Occupy Wall Street organizers." Rev. Chavis, now a co-chair, along with media mogul Russell Simmons, of the Hip Hop Summit Action Network, said, "It is in our interest to build coalitions beyond ourselves." Black people must "participate in our own resurrection, our own empowerment."
Black Church Not the "Lynchpin" of Rights Fight
"Black American thinkers running the gamut from liberal, progressive to radical espoused secular humanist views on white supremacy, economic capitalist exploitation, women's rights, on imperialism, all of the issues that affect contemporary African Americans," said activist and scholar Sikivu Hutchinson, author of Moral Combat: Black Atheists, Gender Politics, and the Values Wars. Even Dr. Martin Luther King and his Southern Christian Leadership Conference "were actively disavowed and demonized by the mainstream Black church organizations for their radicalism, particularly Dr. King during the latter part of his life," said Hutchinson. "This idea that Black theological traditions are the lynchpin of Black human rights thought and civil rights resistance and political organizing, is extremely egregious."
People's Organization for Progress to Rally for Voting Rights, Economic Justice
"The issues that P.O.P. is fighting about are issues of working people," said Adrienne Taylor, an activist with the Communications Workers of America, Local 1040, in Newark, New Jersey. P.O.P marks day 176 of its planned 381-day marathon of daily demonstrations for jobs, education, housing, justice and peace, with a major rally for economic justice and voting rights set for January 15. Protesters will be on the streets of Newark on Christmas and New Years, said P.O.P. president Larry Hamm.
Congress Doesn't Care if DC Residents "Live or Die"
Government-funded abortions and free needle programs have once again been made illegal in Washington, DC. The U.S. Congress, which under the Constitution has exclusive control over the nation's capital, "is riding our backs into the grave," said Anise Jenkins, of the Stand Up for Democracy in DC Coalition. "They don't care if we live or die." President Obama "was willing, as he was in April, to sell us out," despite having gotten "over 90 percent of our vote" in the 2008 election, said Jenkins. "Does he expect us to continue to vote for him, because he thinks we have no alternative?" She urged support for legislation that would make Washington, DC, a state. "We're the only jurisdiction in the country that has to suffer this oppression" of rule by Congress.
Most Blacks, and Nearly Half of Americans, Are Economically Insecure
A study shows 62 percent of African American households and 45 percent of all American families live with economic insecurity. Donna Addkison, president of Wider Opportunities for Women, which commissioned the study, found that 80 percent of single Black mothers "working the equivalent of full time still are not earning enough to get" beyond economic insecurity. "We're talking about a baseline, we're not talking about even cable television or cell phones," but the costs of housing, food, transportation, health care and child care, "basic needs," said Addkison. "Economic issues are women's issues."
Political Prisoners Central to Black Movement
Movement-building "must deeply involve the plight of political prisoners," said Dr. Jared Ball, editor and columnist for Black Agenda Report and professor of communications at Morgan State University, in Baltimore. Political prisoners should be valued for their experience, their analysis, "and the standard they set for the rest of us," said Ball. The movement "wouldn't do half bad by replacing some of the Dysons, Simmons and Sharptons with folks like Ashanti Alston, Mutulu Shakur and Russell 'Maroon' Shoats."
Buju Banton Appeals 10-Year Sentence
Lawyers for Jamaican Reggae and Dance Hall artist Buju Banton have appealed his ten-year conviction on cocaine charges in a trap set by the Drug Enforcement Agency. "Buju Banton has a voice that many in conservative positions and in power would rather see silenced," said Aula Sumbry, of the Buju Banton Defense Support Committee. The singer is currently incarcerated in a prison near Miami.
Congolese Election A Fraud
"The results of the elections are clearly showing that there was fraud, a staged kind of fraud," said Bahati Jacques, of the African Faith and Justice Network. Jacques, a native of the Democratic Republic of Congo, suggests a negotiated solution that would impose a runoff election between President Joseph Kabila and the official second-place candidate, Etienne Tshisekedi. Or, Tshisekedi could be proclaimed president, on the basis that the party that engaged "in fraud deserves no trust at all."

What Really Separates the Tea Party from The Black Panther Party
by Crystal Hayes
TheRoot.com, the online site targeted at Blacks but owned by the huge Washington Post corporation, recently ran an idiotic piece comparing the Tea Party to the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense – an insult to history and a painful affront to the author, the daughter of a Panther political prisoner. "When our history is so carelessly blurred, we do not know the right questions to ask or the right steps to take to rectify the societal ills that plague us today."

KettleHouse Brewing
The Little Brewery That Cans
From Newwest.net, 11-10-08 of published article, Microbrew Montana: KettleHouse Brewing: The Little Brewery That Cans, Bill Schneider. This article is presented in agreement with Newwest.net. All rights reserved, Copyright (© 2008)
The new Orange Street location and owner Tim O'Leary.

When you go into the KettleHouse original taproom, which is tucked away on a hard-to-find side street in mid-town Missoula, you find something you see at most Montana microbreweries--
- a crowd of local folks enjoying good beer and good conversation in their adopted neighborhood pub where it's always "Hoppy Hour." But when you peak into the back room or decide to buy some tasty KettleHouse brew at the grocery store, you see something you don't see at or from any other Montana microbrewery, beer cans.
Because KettleHouse is the little Montana brewery that cans
I confess to emptying a few cans of beer in my life, but never a can of great tasting microbrew--until KettleHouse Brewing made it possible. Not just an ordinary 12-ounce can, but a pounder, 16 ounces of microbrew in environmentally sensitive aluminum with a glasslike, taste-preserving coating--and in sharp contrast with the 24-can suitcases pushed by the Bigs, it's sold only in singles or four-packs.
Even though I already knew the answer, I still asked owner Tim O'Leary what made KettleHouse different from other Montana microbreweries. "It's our attitude," he replied. "We're not afraid to try something new. The canning thing is a symptom of what makes us different."
In the not-so-different department: "We're passionate about what we do, and it shows in our beer."
And in the cans. "We can because aluminum is recyclable, opaque, and easily transportable," O'Leary writes on his website. "A food grade lining protects the beer flavor and our cans are made with approximately 80% recycled aluminum."
O'Leary started out thinking bottles and even bought a used bottling machine, but then changed his mind and decided to become the only Montana brewery to can beer. Most microbrewers shun cans because, image-wise, cans are associated with inferior product, he explained, and also, unlined cans used by megabrewers give beer a "tinny taste."
Cans are even better than glass bottles in some respects, contends O'Leary. No sunlight shines through glass to create a "skunky" aroma, and they're lighter, energy-efficient, and cool faster.
O'Leary, an avid paddler and former river guide, also thinks cans are better suited for river trips and hopes outfitters and guides will start buying his canned beer in bulk.
But less expensive? Well, perhaps not. Single pounders go for $1.79 and four-packs for $6.79. You do the math.
KettleHouse is one of the oldest breweries in Montana, started in 1995 before Montana law allowed taproom sales, "It was tough at first," O'Leary said, remembering the struggles of the early years. "We probably shouldn't be here. The taproom bill really helped."
O'Leary was one of the main instigators behind that 1999 law, and if you want to hear the long story of a grand compromise with tavern owners that made it possible, he's a good one to tell it. He was there at the bill-signing ceremony in Helena. As the ink was drying, he was on the phone to his staff in Missoula telling them to go ahead and sell what he believes could have been the first pint sold by any Montana brewery.
KettleHouse was also among the first breweries in the state to sell beer in growlers, years before the taproom law. "If it wasn't for growlers, we probably wouldn't be in business today."
Now, he's on track, to say the least. In his original location on Myrtle Street, KettleHouse probably has the most crammed, maxed-out production facility in the state, but O'Leary and his 13 employees still managed to crank out and sell about 4,000 barrels of craft brew annually out of it. Demand continued to far outstrips this production capability, so O'Leary made the big move.
In early 2009, he opened a second production facility open, called KettleHouse Northside, and now production has jumped up to 8,500 barrels annually, most of it brewed in the new northside location. As hard as the Myrtle Street taproom is to find, the new facility, perched right on top of the Orange Street Underpass, is among the most visible, easy-to-find locations in Missoula.
The KettleHouse was the first microbrewery in the state to can.

Currently, O'Leary is working extra long hours trying to get his second production facility open, which probably won't happen until next March or April. As hard as the Myrtle Street taproom is to find, the new facility, perched right on top of the Orange Street Underpass, will be among the most visible, easy-to-find locations in Missoula.
A signature beer? Not at the KettleHouse. "We let our customers decide what our flagship beers are. Right now, Cold Smoke (Scotch Ale) is what people seem to want."
He likes all his beers, "but I really like the high IBUs, which stands for Ideal Bitterness Units, such as Double Haul IPA, partly because it's taken me a while to do a double haul with my fly rod, and also a while accept and go with the strong IPAs."He calls this the "Brewmaaster Effect"--beer fans starting out with the lighter, less hoppy beers and working up to the IPAs, usually the strongest and hoppiest of them all. And much different than what he calls ICMPDs, which is his beer-speak for Ice Cold Mass Produced Domestics, turned out by the big brewers.
Although not so different than other microbreweries, KettleHouse is run by outdoor people for outdoor people. You see and hear it everywhere--from the beer names to the classic bicycles hanging from the ceiling or parked outside, a keen interest in environmental and outdoor issues projected from the owners and embraced by the customers. O'Leary even devotes part of his website to warning about global warming and encourages us all to "search for cooler times."
Which we can find every afternoon at the KettleHouse taproom.

City council looking to borrow $9 million for construction projectsBy: Matt Durnan | Posted: Thursday, Jan 30, 2014 01:13 pm Airdrie City council voted unanimously in favour of first reading of a pair of debenture bylaws that would see the City borrow more than $9 million, on Jan. 20. The money will be used to fund two separate construction projects, the reconstruction of 40th Avenue and the construction of a west Airdrie reservoir pumphouse. Total project cost for 40th Avenue is slated at $6.6 million and the cost associated with the reservoir pumphouse is set at $12.6 million, both construction projects were approved in the 2014 budget by council on Dec. 16. Council approved first reading on bylaws that would allow the City to debenture $6.2 million for the reservoir pumphouse and $3.2 million for 40th Avenue. Mayor Peter Brown explained that the need for borrowing was to stay out in front of the development needs of the community. �We�re looking ahead to what the community needs and the development levies that we have collected have not covered the costs of these projects,� said Brown. �These debentures will be paid off in full from the interest collected from development levies.� Construction of 40th Avenue is expected to commence this spring and the roadway will be a two-lane connecting route between the neighbourhoods of Cooper�s Crossing and Hillcrest. The bylaw will come back to council at a later date to allow for advertising and a petition period. The petition period closes Feb. 15. Comments
