Just finished up a rather standard "epic battle" type orchestration—my first one. I'm kinda new to this, so any input would be appreciated.https://soundcloud.com/auralaxiom/of-glory-and-darkness
Sounds good, seems on the way to being a really good track. I think the drum hits at 1.26 could be better. I think the section that starts at 1.40 could be improved. It stops in a jarring way at 2.09.
Sounds good, but…
at 0.30 – epic rising before and nothing epic after Think it would be rather good if at 0.31 put some kind of "boom" hit or simply move reversed cymbal sound to 0.31 (and it would be better if reversed cymbal will not have cutted tail).
Percussion section is thin a little. For example, adding of timpani's part (or something more epic and massive like a "Studio Armageddon Ens" from the "Heavyocity Damage") could fix this problem I think.
Part after 0.50 (to 1.40) is awesome.
Choir's staccato after 1.40 is too synthetic in my opinion.
But anyway, on the whole track sounds quite nice
Good ideas! As for the choir, not much I can do about that; it's just the patch (EW Symphonic Choirs—a bit dated).
I wasn't able to do much for the stops, which are fairly common in modern orchestration. I like them, and so does the client.
All the other suggestions were gtg I think. What's your thought on the…surprise I added at the end?

March 2015 Issue
Subsea Connectivity For Tidal Turbine Project
Sabella S.A.S. has ordered a complete MacArtney (Esbjerg, Denmark) connectivity solution for its new industrial-scale Sabella D10 tidal stream turbine project.
Over the past decade, Sabella has developed an original concept for a screen of tidal turbines positioned on the seafloor. Pre-orientated in the direction of natural tidal currents and empowered by symmetrical rotor blades, the turbines capture the energy generated by the shift between ebb and flow. The rotor is activated even by modest current motion and powers a generator to export the electricity produced to the land-based grid via a submarine cable anchored and embedded at its landfall.
After successfully installing and testing the Sabella D03 demonstrator turbine unit, Sabella has successfully secured the funds to install and test its full-scale Sabella D10 0.5-kilowatt-rated and 1-megawatt maximal output power turbine in the Fromveur Strait near South Ushant (Brittany, France). Future Sabella tidal farm sites could feature units with a capacity up to 2 megawatts.
For successfully transmitting the harnessed tidal power to the onshore grid, the Sabella D10 relies on a custom MacArtney subsea connectivity solution. Based on a GreenLink Inline Termination for connecting the turbine to the grid via the dynamic subsea export cable, the solution also comprises a couple of hang-off stress terminations, a custom-made flange with various medium- and low-voltage connectors for the turbine nacelle, a junction box jumper cable and various test cables.
Tidal Testing Management In Turners Falls
The Marine Renewable Energy Collaborative (MRECo) has entered into an agreement with the Conte Fish Research Center to manage tidal testing in its large flumes in Turners Falls, Massachusetts.
Tidal energy is capable of providing very reliable and predictable power to the electrical grid. While tidal, like most renewable energy sources, is not continuous, it is more predictable than wind or solar, and its generation devices sit below the water, out of sight.
There are many communities globally that are not grid connected, but 85 percent of the world's population lives within 50 miles of an ocean. Marine energy promises an almost limitless supply of energy, but the challenge of making the technology capable of withstanding ocean conditions must be met.
In addition to helping new companies commercialize their technologies, MRECo has partnered with the town of Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard to develop a tidal project in Muskeget Channel, between Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, Massachusetts.
Massachusetts Offshore Wind Auction Sells Two Leases
BOEM held the fourth competitive lease sale for renewable energy in U.S. federal waters offshore Massachusetts for potential wind energy development. The auction consisted of two rounds before determining RES America Developments, Inc. (Broomfield, Colorado) and Offshore MW LLC (Princeton, New Jersey) as the provisional winners of Lease Area OCS-A 0500 (187,523 acres) and OCS-A 0501 (166,886 acres), respectively. Winning bids totaled $448,171 in high bids. The total acreage of these two areas nearly doubles the amount of acreage leased for wind energy through competitive sales.
Lease OCS-A 0502 (248,015 acres) and Lease OCS-A 0503 (140,554 acres) did not receive bids.
If fully developed, the area leased could support approximately 2 gigawatts of commercial wind generation, enough electricity to power more than 700,000 homes.
BOEM has previously awarded five competitive wind energy leases off the Atlantic coast: two offshore Massachusetts-Rhode Island, two offshore Maryland and another offshore Virginia.
Including the Massachusetts offshore wind auction, competitive lease sales have generated more than $14.5 million in high bids for more than 700,000 acres in federal waters. BOEM expects to hold another competitive lease sale offshore New Jersey later this year.
The two leased areas are in the Massachusetts Wind Energy Area, which starts about 12 nautical miles offshore Massachusetts. Each lease will have a preliminary term of one year, during which the lessee will submit a site assessment plan to BOEM for approval.
ClassNK, WEIT Form Renewable Energy Alliance
ClassNK (Tokyo, Japan) has strengthened its renewable energy activities by agreeing to form a capital alliance with the Wind Energy Institute of Tokyo Inc. (WEIT). ClassNK will acquire around 30 percent of WEIT's shares through a third-party allotment, and a nonexecutive director will represent ClassNK on the Institute's Board of Directors.
Building on WEIT's analytical expertise and proven track record, ClassNK is strengthening its resources to meet the increasing demand for services, such as the independent third-party Marine Warranty Survey (MWS). This service evaluates potential operational risks in the design, transportation, and installation of renewable energy projects established offshore and aids in securing financing and insurance for new projects. The survey focuses on key factors, such as sea fastening and cable laying, and will be provided through ClassNK's Renewable Energy Department.
Final Certification for Haliade 150 Wind Turbine
The Alstom (Levallois-Perret, France) Haliade 150 6-megawatt offshore wind turbine installed on the Carnet site in France has secured its final certification from DNV GL (Høvik, Norway). This is a major step and prerequisite for commercial operation, demonstrating the wind turbine's overall efficiency.
The Haliade will be produced in the Saint-Nazaire plant. It has already been chosen for the Block Island project in the United States and by EDF-EN for three French projects representing a total of 1.5 gigawatts.
Another Haliade wind turbine has been installed off the coast of Belgium at the Belwind site to verify the procedures for wind turbine production, installation, commissioning and operation.

The Nolitan Hotel
30 Kenmare Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Nolita
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
There's some disagreement among real-estate types as to precisely what neighborhood this is. But while the ink has yet to dry on that argument, Nolita now has its first boutique hotel. And a sharp one it is. There's more than a whiff of classic, elegant Manhattan modernism about the place, along with an appropriately deep vein of downtown funk, which makes sense, as the architects are the same partnership responsible for the Hotel on Rivington.
Very few New York hotel rooms can count sheer acreage among their strengths. The Nolitan's rooms make the most of their space with simple floor plans, including wide-open bathrooms. It's a crisp, clean look, with a focused palette and a bit of hardwood and raw concrete for some textural contrast, furnished with mid-century desk chairs and high-end contemporary pieces.
Cantine Parisienne is The Nolitan's social nexus, where the guests meet the locals and vice versa, over a slightly counter-intuitive French-American cuisine. Even for diehard Italophiles, however, there's little danger of going hungry, located as you are at what's more or less the confluence of SoHo, the East Village and the Lower East Side, not to mention Nolita itself, which, for the benefit of our out-of-town readers, happens to stand for "north of Little Italy." Getting around town is easy enough, especially given the Nolitan's fleet of loaner bikes (and loaner skateboards, surely if not a first then a rare amenity at least).

Easy, inexpensive remedy for dark underarms
I used to get tons of mail from readers who had dark underarms. I wasn't much help to them because I, too, suffered from the condition. I had skin discoloration, and the dermatologist said it was because I was allergic to shaving.
When I started laser treatment, my underarm became of the same color as the rest of my skin. Unfortunately, when I got pregnant it darkened again, and it took awhile before it got back to its original color.
I do know how embarrassing it is to have dark underarms. I am sure most of the women who have it shave their armpits. Laser hair removal can really be costly.
So I was excited when I saw Belo's underarm whitening cream. Although I haven't tried it, since I don't need it anymore, I know Belo won't be putting out a product that doesn't work. I use the Belo toner when I feel my skin is a bit oily, and I love it!
So, for every woman who has to think twice before using a sleeveless blouse, this is the product you have to buy now! I'm sure it will take a while before you see the effect, but soon enough, that discoloration will be a thing of the past.
Regenerating night cream
My hair has been so dry from all the coloring I've made it go through. Just a week ago, I had my hair treated, but I'm still not happy with the texture. Luckily, I was sent Phyto Intense Hydration Regenerating Night Cream. I tried it, and guess what? I woke up with the softest hair.

This latest entry in Pekar's American Splendor series, moves from Malice's Bensonhurst childhood to his stint as a Cato Institute intern to a series of tech-related temp jobs. Blessedor cursedwith a 160 IQ, Malice loves crushing lesser beings with his superior intellect; failing this, he simply rats them out to their superiors. In grade school he could have been labeled a tattletale; all grown up, he's just a jerk. Malice is Dostoyevsky's Underground Man reborn as bilious temp, bad digestion and all.
As contemptible as Malice sounds, the bookand, at least in Pekar's version, Malice's lifeis a lot of fun. Not so much the face of evil as the face of jackassery, Pekar's portrait is mesmerizing, the action only stuttering when the hero steps offstage, as during interludes about a long-forgotten country band. His is the fantasy of a life unbridled by pesky thoughts about the feelings of others. For an unabashed misanthrope, few things could be more exhilarating.

I am a little surprised by how tight this top is. It is my 1st tankini and I did go by the size chart. So next time I will probably go with a size bigger. Nothing worse than your skin bulging over. Yuk.

I got the 8 figuring it would be too big and, lucky me, it is perfect! I take a 34 swim suit, so I guess that's actually an 8 in Speedo sizes anyway. I really am happy with this purchase so far, I didn't give it 5 stars b/c I haven't gotten to the pool yet, but I LOVE the way this suit fits and feels and looks. I'm beginning to be more conscious of showing my derriere after two babies, and this covers pretty much my whole rear end. It is modest and attractive both. I bought two, figuring I'd give one to my 80 year old aquatics-enthusiast mother. Now I wish I'd gotten four so we could have two each! Can't wait to teach my water fitness classes in this -- and bring it on beach vacation this spring!!
I use this for water aerobics. It is a comfortable fit for water exercise and swimming. The price was exceptional as I was able to purchase at the clearance price.
I got this as a give away because of the price. I have had a couple of Friends try it on and eventhough they are smalls they have not been able to get it over their sholders. I will try one of my nieces.
I was looking for a tankini. What first caught my attention was the price - Unbelievable. I liked style/print, and they had my size. I loved it when I tried it on. Went to Maui last week and my friends were very impressed! It fit well, looked good and was really comfortable.
Very Good product with comfortable cups inside
I wear for fun and for water aerobics. Fits very well, true to size. Attractive.
I bought this top to use with my daughter in the therapy pool and was pleasantly surprised with the support it offers. I have to carry and transfer my 70 lb daughter and this suit is secure.

Simple question...what are they called again ingame?..i cant find out cos the forum got wiped and looking at the console vendor i cant see one that seem to suggest it does that.
EPS consoles or something like that. Nore sure on the full name (never saw it myself). But you can find lots of cruiser info on this archived thread:

In September 2011, the U.S. Department of Labor announced a joint initiative with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and 11 states1 to share information and "coordinate law enforcement" for the purpose of ending "the practice of misclassifying employees in order to avoid providing employment protections." The joint enforcement program was almost immediately followed by the announcement by the IRS of its Voluntary Classification Settlement Program ("VCSP"). VCSP is a program that allows companies the IRS accepts for participation to reclassify workers as employees for employment tax purposes prospectively and to receive 90 percent amnesty on past due employment taxes, with no interest or penalties. We reported and commented on these developments in an Alert in October 2011. What has been the effect of the implementation of these programs over the last nine months?
Since September 2011, the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division ("DOL") has stepped up the pressure on corporations to reclassify workers as employees, rather than independent contractors. Between December 2011 and February 2012, the DOL announced cooperation agreements with three more states: California, Colorado, and Louisiana.2 These states each have entered into a three year Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the DOL which specifies that broad categories of information, such as unemployment compensation information, identities and/or confidential "statements" of persons and internal opinions and recommendations by either the DOL or one of the state agencies, can be exchanged for purposes of enforcing laws within the purview of each agency.3 Both the DOL and these states also agreed to insert hyperlinks to the websites of the other agency on their own sites and to exchange statistical information on violations in specific industries and geographic areas. This expansion of state cooperation obviously increases the scope of the information available to the DOL to initiate investigations and pursue enforcement, particularly with the added cooperation of California.

Three Unusual Variables
in Cygnus
pdf ps
Karen Meech
Maria Mitchell Observatory,
Nantucket, MA 02554
Three suspected variables
in Cygnus were examined on the plates of the Maria Mitchell Observatory. All
three prove to be of an unusual type: S4802 is apparently semiregular with
cycles on the order of 80 days; S4831 is probably RV Tauri type with half cycle
lengths ranging from 120 to 160 days; S4846 is an unusual star with long-period
semiregular cycles interrupted by intervals of relative quiescence. A beat
phenomenon may be present. Details of these stars are published in the
Information Bulletin on Variable Stars of the International Astronomical Union.

Re: Would a world sailing TV show really make good TV
It's just not exciting enough for the masses that are required to tune in to keep a show running and make a network happy. I could see it end up on a small small small network, like a fuel TV type of thing, but if it's a show that you have to see episodes in chronological succession in order for it to make sense (and this would be) then the viewers would be out of the loop if they miss an airing.
I think the clear winning formula - and it's unfortunate it probably still wouldn't work - is to throw a handful of dysfunctional d-list celebrities on a boat (provided by a luxury company with plugs throughout the show) to draw attention to themselves and stir up, basically make it a survivor / celebrity edition / road rules challenge / amazing race B.S. combination. Oh and spotlight foreign charity issues before every commercial break, use one of the crazy incapable celebrities as a spokes-person. Meanwhile Producers need to ****** problems, send them out in bad weather windows for drama, there'll be a "chase" ship (not boat) with catered food and directors and editors alongside all the time to catch footage that's better quality than go-pro's and self-shot handhelds.
Sorry, I'd like to see it work, because I spend hours reading blogs of the same content, but...
This idea just isn't sustainable.

Asmara — Eritrean Embassies in various countries and a number of Eritrean community members abroad are conveying messages of condolence in connection with the passing away of Maj. General Gebregziabher Andemariam (Wuchu).
Among those who sent messages are the office of the Eritrean Embassy and nationals in the UK, the Eritrean Embassy in Kuwait, PFDJ and NUEW members as well as citizens in North America, and the Eritrean community members in South Sudan.
In their respective messages, the Embassies and nationals pointed out that the late Maj. General Gebregziabher served his people and country for more than 40 years with an exemplary sense of dedication, and that his tribute would be cherished in the hearts of the citizenry. They further voiced resolve to step up input in the nation-building process as a token of their honor of trust of the fallen heroes.
The late Maj. General Gebregziabher Andemariam who has been receiving medical treatment inside the country and abroad passed away yesterday in Asmara at the age of 64.

The details of Liverpool's first Lesbian Gay Bisexual & Transgender Pride festival have been announced, and kick-started by a "Pride March" through the city on Saturday 7th August.
People of all genders and persuasions are invited to join what is set to be a brightly-coloured festival of unity, and marchers are urged to bring banners, flags, posters, glittering costumes, and most importantly friends and family, to St Georges Plateau for 11.30am and soak up the pre-march atmosphere with other Pride goers.
The march will set off at 12.30pm on a route through Liverpool city centre, which will take in Roe St, Hood St, Whitechapel, Lord St and Castle St before coming to an end at 1.30pm on the main festival site; Dale St at Exchange Street East.
The end of the march will be marked with a speech from the main stage, before we strike up the live acts on the three stages and the Rainbow Circus themed celebrations begin throughout the Dale St area.
Before 2010, Liverpool was the largest city in the country that hasn't had its own official pride festival. The city, and the region have had a number of high profile homophobic and transphobic attacks in recent years.
At the launch of the LGB&T Network the public voted for a pride festival to engage, empower and involve the LGB&T communities within the city and this was fully endorsed by Liverpool City Council in January 2009. Liverpool Pride 2010 will celebrate the diverse community of one of Europe's leading cultural cities.
Council leader Joe Anderson said: "Liverpool is famed for its diversity and a Pride festival is a welcome addition to our wide range of cultural events. It is vital that we take every opportunity to celebrate and showcase every community and that is why I am delighted that the city council is supporting this festival. It will attract people from far and wide to Liverpool, promoting tolerance and providing an economic boost to the city."
Before attending the march; individuals, groups and organisations wishing to take part are asked to register at www.liverpoolpride.co.uk/get-involved so that festival organisers can gain an estimate of how many people will be coming along.
The Pride team will be organising special banner making workshops over the next couple of weeks if you're interested in making your own gorgeous banner to march with, for more information go to liverpoolpride.co.uk.

So I submitted my first template and got rejected.
General run around: -Not unique enough -Not enough features
Link: http://www.themichaelgarcia.com/agencia/
My thoughts: I know it's not the most original design, but I figure it's the type of design that sells on themeforest. Also, I added most features that are available from templates of high quality.
So my questions: What do you think I could change? What features can I add? Should I really even bother submitting another version?
And yes it has 7 color schemes. Anywho thanks for helping out!
It's true that it's the type of design that sells well here but it's too much inspired by some top selling templates. That's just my feeling.
Keliah, thanks for the response and the honesty. I have been brainstorming on what changes I could make. Latest news could use a facelift and the about page can be changed to display more features along with a better layout.
Anybody else know what I can do to try and get this theme accepted? Do you think I need big design changes or just small features?
You are not too far. Fine tune padding, text colors (bottom part is tooooo bright). Change the default color to something more generic. Add skins. Use custom fonts with cufon, etc. Even if you are not using custom font, just using your default font with cufon it'll look much smoother. Something about the menu is odd. Text align. Text block / article separation. Below the tagline the gradient is too washed out.
Okay, I made tons of small updates however overall design still needs more "uniqueness". Note: I am using a custom font and I have 7 color schemes.
-About page – Features listed and many added in a more readable layout
-Contact page – Added google map in html instead of as an image
-Home page – Fixed gradient background under the tagline so it is more defined.
-Adjusted padding/margins on footer and other various sections
Does anybody have any ideas on popular features I'm missing? Or any ideas on how my template can be made more unique?
Thanks again!
It's better, but the font 'Colaborate-RegularRegular': you are not using it with cufón, so it displays as Arial for everyone! Except those who have it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Add more padding around the submenu items text, and center the text below the 3 picture containers on the main page.
I'd add mouse hover and optionally active CSS border and bg changes to the input fields on the contact page.
I'm using a font pack from Font Squirrel. Should be displaying properly regardless of who has the font. Just checked it and it works fine on my iphone. Personally, I don't like the way cufon displays and selects.
Will add some padding to submenu items and hover effects on the contact page. Thanks for the help!

MI Chief Justice warns of dangers of cutting funding
By Laura Weber, Michigan Public Radio Network
LANSING, MI – The chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court told lawmakers Thursday that budget cuts are threatening the effectiveness of the judicial system.
Chief Justice Marilyn Kelly says budget cuts are already compromising some of the duties of the courts.
"The less money that's available, the harder it is to meet the mandates," she says. "The mandates stay the same but the money shrinks, so naturally it puts us in a terrible pinch."
Kelly says there are not enough foreign language interpreters in trial courts, and the Foster Care Review Board has cut in half the number of children it can monitor. She also told lawmakers drug treatment courts are in jeopardy.
Kelly asked lawmakers to reject cuts to courts that were proposed by Governor Granholm.

No. 8 Boilers Sweep USF to Start 2014 Season
August 30, 2014HOOSIER SPORTS 365
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The No. 8 Purdue volleyball team opened its 2014 campaign and the 24th-annual Mortar Board Premier with a 3-0 sweep of USF Friday morning. The Boilermakers won the match 25-17, 25-22, 25-23.
Eleven Boilers saw court time in the match, including four making their Purdue debut - redshirt freshman Ashley Evans and true freshmen Lydia Dimke, Azariah Stahl and Danielle Cuttino- and all contributed to the winning effort.
Redshirt sophomore Faye Adelaja and junior Annie Drews posted nine kills apiece to lead the Boilermaker hitters, while senior KiKi Jonesadded six and Evans and Stahl each chipped in four. Adelaja also posted a team-high four blocks in the match, while Evans served up four aces.
Defensively, 10 players registered at least one dig led by eight apiece by senior Val Nichol and Evans. Junior Amanda Neill added seven and Drews managed six saves.
The Boilermakers won all of the major statistical categories, including blocks (6-5), hitting percentage (.245-.185) and aces (7-2).
Purdue jumped ahead 7-1 in Set , including two aces by Evans and two kills by Drews, and allowed USF no closer than three points the rest of the way en route to a 25-17 win. The Bulls rallied to cut the margin to 14-11 forcing a Purdue timeout, but the Boilers responded with an 11-6 run to wrap up the set. A stuff by Drews and Adelaja put the Boilermakers up 24-17 and another ace by Evans clinched it.
Jones and Adelaja turned in five kills apiece as the Boilers edged USF 25-22 in Set 2. Purdue led 5-2 early, but the Bulls tied it at five all and eventually went on to a 12-9 advantage of their own. A kill and an ace by Jones started a 7-1 Boilermaker rally. USF countered again, earning a one-point edge twice, last at 18-17 before Purdue rallied to put them away. Jones racked up three kills as the Boilers went up 22-20. A kill by Drews and a solo stuff by Evans gave the team its first chance at the set and a USF service error two plays later put Purdue up 2-0 at the break.
Stahl and Cuttino made their Boilermaker debuts in Set 3 and accounted for six of the team's 14 kills. USF miscues and an ace by Evans put Purdue up 6-2 in the early going. The Bulls cut the lead to just one on four occasions, but the Boilers held on as the freshmen duo put down kills to help the team to a 15-11 edge. Ahead by just two at 17-15, the Boilermakers got two putaways from Nichol and help from a few USF errors to stretch the advantage to 21-15. Despite trailing 23-20, the Bulls did not go away quietly, instead thwarting two Purdue match point chances and forcing a timeout before a Drews putaway finally sealed the sweep.

WITH A WHEELBARROW AS ITS BASE, Martin Puryear's sculpture C.F.A.O. appears to be an object on the move. The scaffold-like pine element, a visual treat in its own right, also seems to stabilize a mold for a large face.
Viewers are pointed to West Africa by the work's title, an abbreviation of Compagnie Francaise de l'Afrique Occidentale (The French Company of West Africa), and by the source of the simplified facial shape, a ceremonial mask made by the Fang people of West Africa.
In time C.F.A.O. unsettles me. The implication that the mask form is a copy reminds me of the market for objects from other cultures. I need not distinguish between the items collected from a specific society, crafted solely for tourists, or simply reproduced (anywhere in the world) since they are sold simply for decorative purposes. My unease recognizes that cultures "foreign" to me are more than their portable artifacts.
How little I know about others--their lives, their dreams, and even their goods. What appears curiously exotic to me is another's familiar home.

My vote goes for Herschelle Gibbs because Tony Greig at least loved the game of cricket.

And a cockle-doodle-doo to you, too.
This is the last weekend for the Kentucky State Fair. A rundown of what's yet to come.
"Queens" is plural, right?
Follow up to Friday's Kentucky State Fair piece on Fried food, MC Hammer, and vomiting.
Friday proved to be a day for the kids, with hundreds of elementary schools sending students to spend a day at the fair.
With so many things to see and do at the Kentucky State Fair, I still can't help but to miss all of that while I'm getting drunk, eating fried food, and people watching.
With so many great elements to check out at the Kentucky State Fair I'd suggest doing it under non-sober circumstances while eating mounds of fried food, but be sure to know where the emergency exits and the port-o-potties are.

A Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) was sent to notify the public of an Amber Alert triggered by a missing teen outside of Rochester, but as some already know, it's not just Amber Alerts that the government is using your phone to broadcast.
"What we've done for many, many years is we've sent out certain types of warnings," said David Zaff of the National Weather Service. "That might be a severe thunderstorm warning, or a tornado warning or a flash flood warning. What FEMA is doing, is they partnered with a number of cell phone companies to re-disseminate that information in a very short text for certain new cell phones."
The result is a WEA message, nearly identical to the one sent out on the Amber Alert, that warns people of immediate weather emergencies.
|GREECE, N.Y. (AP) - An upstate New York teenage girl whose disappearance sparked an Amber Alert has been arrested.
Police in the Rochester suburb of Greece say 16-year-old Cassidy Geffert was arrested on a charge of fourth-degree grand larceny.
Geffert was found unharmed Monday in the Brockport area about 15 miles west of her home after an Amber Alert was earlier in the afternoon by New York State Police. It said the girl was taken from a Greece residence around 10 a.m. Monday.
"The important part of it is we want to alert the public for the most critical, life-threatening situations, and a flash flood and a tornado are clearly up there. We could issue one for blizzard warnings, but that's a longer lived event and we don't want to over-warn the public."
The types of alerts you receive could easily change though.
The alerts spread using local cell towers, meaning that even if your number is a 716, if you're in another part of the country you will only receive an alert if severe weather is in your current location. "You could be traveling to Tennessee for example, and if the Tennessee office issued a flash flood warning and you're in that location, you're going to get alerted, which is good because that's a life-saving property."

Renowned imaging and printing solutions provider
Lexmark International Inc.
) recently purchased Luxembourg-based software company BDGB
Enterprise, along with its U.S. subsidiary Brainware Inc. Lexmark
loosened up approximately $148.0 million to pay for the acquisition
in cash.
Lexmark did not say much about the post-acquisition position of
parent company BDGB Enterprise, but asserted that the company's
subsidiary, Brainware will form part of its Perceptive Software
business segment. Brainware's data capture and enterprise search
solutions are expected to add value to the business process and
content management software solutions offered by Perceptive
Software. Lexmark's May 2010 acquisition of Perceptive Software was
a step into the enterprise content management market.
Brainware's flagship solution 'Brainware Distiller' has gained
traction as an intelligent data capture platform and has been
installed by many Global 2000 companies (list of leading public
companies selected by Forbes magazine). The newly acquired unit
will not only strengthen Lexmark's offerings, but also offer access
to big customers such as
Anadarko Petroleum Corp.
BB&T Corp.
British American Tobacco plc
Halliburton Co.
) and
Philip Morris International Inc.
Lexmark made a similar acquisition in October 2011. The company
took over Netherlands-based Pallas Athena for $50.2 million in cash
and paired the unit with Perceptive Software. Pallas Athena's
capabilities were expected to enrich the business process
management solutions offered by Perceptive Software. Moreover,
Lexmark would be able to capture the opportunities in the EMEA
region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa).
The Perceptive Software acquisition continued to play a material
role in Lexmark's recently-concluded fourth quarter. While the
company saw its revenue decline on account of lackluster demand for
its legacy consumer products, this was mostly evident in the 5.0%
revenue decline in the Imaging Solutions segment. Perceptive
Software revenue on the other hand grew a whopping 41.0%.
The success from Perceptive Software is forcing Lexmark to
invest heavily in the segment, which led to a significant increase
in operating expenses during the quarter. The above two
acquisitions, which are expected to enrich Perceptive's portfolio,
is reflective of this continuous investments.
We see good growth prospects for Lexmark in the software sector.
However, the company is also trying its luck in new hardware
solutions. But the overall macro uncertainty could wash out its
product demand ramps. Stiff competition from
Hewlett-Packard Co.
) in the Managed Print Services area is also a concern.
Currently, Lexmark has a Zacks #3 Rank, implying a short-term
Hold rating.

C-fibers, nerve cells found in the skin of the hairy portion of mice legs, conduct pleasurable sensory input, not pain, according to research from the California Institute of Technology. It's possible the cells evolved in response to mammals grooming for external parasites, and their existence may explain why many mammals experience pleasure when the head or arm is stroked.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
Or how about Warlock? From Germany and fronted by blond-tressed, leather-clad fantasy goddess Doro Pesch, Warlock scored an MTV hit circa '88 with "All We Are." The video featured lots of fire, people standing on cars, and something very deep: cleavage! Be still yon throbbing boner.
Absent from U.S. shelves for 10 years, Doro marks her return with Calling the Wild. Biggest question is, will she sound the same, thereby appeasing old fans whose posters have long since curled at the edges, half-covered in thick dobbets of wrist-dispatched doob? Or will she have embraced the changes the last decade hath wrought upon the genre formerly known as heavy metal?
The album's opening chords suggest the latter. All down-tuned, grunged-up, guttural doom-murkthe kind of guitar tones that nobody bloody likes but that are essential for showing an understanding of mankind's weathered, kicked-in-the-teeth-by-whatever-nevermind condition. That is, the kind of crud that Creed (and boy do they suck) peddle. Which doesn't bode well for anyone wanting to rock'n'roll all night with Doro.
Life is wrestled back with track five, "Kiss Me Like a Cobra," in which Doro demonstrates her vocal prowess, slithering through octaves like a snake through, um, a grass lawn strewn with wood chips and cow poo. And not touching the poo! The title's relation to Motörhead's "Love Me Like a Reptile" is no coincidence, either: Next song on the album is a Motörhead cover, with Master of the Universe Lemmy himself adding guest vocals and warts.
Covering "White Wedding," the greatest moment in Billy Idol's idling career (OK, maybe the second greatest, after the chick on his floor in "Rebel Yell"), was another great idea. Though those down-tuned guitars do spoil the honeymoon, loitering as they do like an ex-lover in the hallway, demanding to be noticed when you wish they'd piss off.
"Fuel" sorta echoes Warlock's '80s robustness of hook, and Doro sings, "I like exceptional inflammable stuff," evoking flashbacks to 1988's flaming streets and heaving bosoms. But otherwise, weighted toward the heavy end of "modern rock" rather than timeless metal, this isn't the album love-you-long-time fans would've wanted. Still, it's progress just to have Doro's loin-stirring voice back. May she soar like an eagle through clouds of, erm, condensed particles of water that collectively sometimes look like Snoopy. (Bonus boner for guitar geeks: Al "Who am I?" Pitrelli and Slash guest.)

Embedded Malware Could Threaten US Cybersecurity
The United States needs to be more cautious of computers and other electronics imports that could be tainted with malicious software, said Representative Jim Langevin on Monday after speaking at a cyber security event in Rhode Island.
Cyber criminals are installing bad codes into components at overseas manufacturing plants, with the intent of using these tools to help them launch cyber attacks against the U.S., Langevin told Reuters after the event.
The problem affects both consumer electronics and corporate technology systems, which can hold classified corporate and government data, he said.
"Corrupting hardware and software is embedded in the supply chain," said Langevin, who co-founded the Congressional Cybersecurity Caucus.
"We have a real challenge on our hands to better secure the supply chain."
Corrupted supply chain components are a growing threat to the nation, particularly in military operations, said cyber security expert Doug White, Director of the Forensics Applied Networking and Security Center at Roger Williams University.
"It's not something that a lot of people have thought about in the past. They should have thought about it," said White during an interview with Reuters.
"What if you went on a battlefield and hit a button and everything stopped working? It's pretty scary stuff," he said.
Langevin and White spoke at a news conference in Providence about a new state program to battle cyber threats — the Rhode Island Cyber Disruption team.
Langevin, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives committees on Armed Services and Intelligence, is sponsor of the Executive Cyberspace Coordination Act of 2011, which addresses issues such as providing federal government assistance to utilities and other companies that manage critical U.S. infrastructure projects.

Vienna's Schonbrunn Zoo and Giant Ferris Wheel
The Baroque Architecture of Schonebrunn Zoo dates back to the days of Empress Maria Theresia and her husband Franz Stephan von Lothringen. The breakfast pavilion is situated in the center and emulates the historical beginnings of the zoo. Even today you can still enjoy an "Imperial Breakfast".
The Giant Ferris Wheel, trademark of Austria's capital city and a symbol of Vienna's world-famous Prater, creates a very special point of reference for every visitor with its unmistakable silhouette, clearly visible even from great distances. Its unique views of the city of Vienna can be enjoyed by visitors throughout the day.
- Visit Vienna's Schonbrunn Zoo and ride the Giant Ferris Wheel
- See more than 4,000 animals at the Schonbrunn Zoo
- See the zoo's giant pandas, the only giant pandas in Europe outside of Berlin
- Enjoy magnificent views of Vienna from the Giant Ferris Wheel
What You Can Expect
Apart from Berlin, The Schonbrunn Zoo in Vienna is the only place in Europe where you can see Giant Pandas. The two Giant pandas, Yang Yang and Long Hui who arrived in the Schonbrunn Zoo 2003, are on loan to the Republic of Austria by the People's Republic of China for a period of 10 years. According to the latest estimates, only one thousand Giant Pandas currently live in the wild.
Other top attraction include orangutans, jaguars, koalas, the first elephant born in Europe using artificial insemination techniques, Children's playground and petting zoo and a rainforest house modeled after the ecosystems of Borneo.
A circular trip on the Giant Ferris Wheel, one of the most significant and fascinating structures in the world, and the unique view of the city of Vienna, is an absolute cultural and architectural must for every visitor to Austria's capital.

Letters to the Editor: 08.23.05
We have been following the controversy concerning the Coliseum ice center, and both sides hold mer-it, sentimentality vs. practicality.
There might just be another option to consider: What if it were possible to remove the walls and the outbuildings in order to create an outdoor shaded area with gardens, fountains, sky lights, public restrooms and maybe a small stage?
The next time you are downtown, picture the nicely curved beams and roof, then look through the gardens at the uninterrupted view of the bay.
Mark and Esther Weatherbee
In response to an article about the death of a two-year-old boy, which the Nueces County Medical Examiner's Office ruled accidental: Mr. Reed, CPS spokesman for the South Texas region, was quoted as saying, "This is just something we do when a child dies from other than normal causes. . . . we are required by law to look into it." And, "People should not draw any conclusions either way."
"Just" go into a family's home armed with a notepad in my days, a laptop these days, and ask the family questions to determine if the police and the Medical Examiner's Office missed the possibility that they murdered their child? Not draw any conclusions either way?
During my 22-month stint with CPS 10 years ago, I had the "duty," once a month, to be on call for 24 hours, responding to any report of abuse, anonymous or otherwise.
Very late at night, I went to a home on downtown Leopard Street to investigate the death of an infant; no police report of foul play. I met a room full of grieving family members, mourning their loss. I gently did my job, and, of course, there was no need for further investigation.
Can you imagine how a family feels when they have lost their child and after the police, detectives, the medical examiner all clear them of any wrongdoing? They must, by law, submit to questioning by a CPS worker? CPS might be better used to do background checks. Nail the bad guys, leave the rest alone.

Japan's remorse
I spent two weeks reading about the tragic deaths caused by the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Together, the deaths from the two cities equaled about 180,000 people. Thousands of others later died from radiation poisoning and burns.
What I don't hear is details of the thousands of civilians killed by Imperial Japanese forces during their conquests of the Far East. The rape of Nanking, China, alone caused over 300,000 Chinese deaths. Civilians were killed, raped and butchered by the Japanese as an example of what awaited any who resisted them.
I don't hear apologies or see memorials for the thousands of Americans and Filipinos who were tortured and butchered by the Imperial Japanese Army after the fall of the Philippines. However, when it comes to innocent Japanese civilians being killed by bombs that helped end the war quicker and with less loss of life than an invasion would have entailed, they cry foul and complain about how unfair it was for us to drop the bombs.
Yes, it is sad that we had to kill so many people with two bombs, but they are just as guilty of killing thousands of people because of their imperial ambitions. So please ask them not to be hypocritical about who's to blame for these deaths.
Andrew Tamez
Poor schools
It seems that quality education is not the issue. What divides us is high property taxes and how to replace the reduced property tax.
Rather than reduce the property tax rate for our schools, why not increase the exemption? Then a 1 percent in-crease in sales tax doesn't hit lower and middle income people more than higher income people. Home ownership is encouraged, and our state Legislature can get off dead center. Nothing wrong with increasing the "sin" taxes: smoking, drinking, and gambling.
Education gets lost in the process. Hardly anyone writes cursive anymore. Many, if not most, middle school children cannot write an English paragraph. Mediocrity is the rule.
But don't get me wrong; the only thing wrong in public education is the taxes.

Literary Challenge #36 : The Haunting of Deck 13

"Deck 13." Bryan muttered to himself angrily as the turbolift gently slid through its shaft to the only deck on the ship people tried to avoid. "Always deck 13. Probably just some lowly crewmen who thinks he's funny by scaring everyone."
The doors quietly slid open, revealing the empty, though brightly lit, corridors of deck 13.
"Athena, scan the corridor," Bryan called.
"Nothing unusual to report, sir." the AI reponded.
Bryan let out an exasperated sigh. "All right. Tell Ibalei-" A shadow suddenly flashed out of the corner of his eye.
"Sir?" Athena said questioningly.
Bryan paused. "Tell her I'll be back up in a few minutes."
With that, Bryan followed where he had seen the shadow. As he strode through the halls, he began to hear faint whispers.
"Athena, scan local decibel levels. Exclude ambient ship noise. and our voices" Bryan called.
"I've got nothing sir." She responded.
"Very well."
Bryan continued walking. It was then that he came upon a room that almost no one had ever entered. It was nothing special, just another multipurpose room, capable of being converted into civilian housing, diplomat's quarters, or any other number of possible uses, but this one had only been used once, during a funeral for Ensign Miziogh, a Bolian science officer who had served as the communications and sensors until her death during an engagement with the Borg, a role that was filled by Ensign Aara when she defected. The door to the room slid quietly shut behind Bryan when he stepped in, but Bryan didn't notice, as he was paying more attention to what he saw in the constantly changing shadowy figures: the faces of everyone who had been killed under his command. Bryan just stood there, watching their face flash by. Normally very calm and collected, Bryan finally broke, realizing he had been forcing himself to ignore the stress all of the losses had been causing him by forcing himself into as much duty as possible. But now, standing before all of their faces, he couldn't help but realize what he had been doing.
Later, his first officer, Ibalei Zera, finally found him leaning in a corner, tears streaking down his face.
"Are you all right Bryan?" She asked.
"No. I'm really not." he responded, his voice cracking a little.
"So, your past finally caught up with you? She said consolingly.
Bryan wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket. "Yea. I guess forcing your problems down isn't going to make it go away, huh?"
"Nope. It only makes them worse." Ibalei responded.
The two stood there for a brief moment. Bryan looked into Ibalei's grey eyes, and she stared into his. After what seemed like an eternity, the two finally, for the first time in the six years they had known each other, kissed. Out of the corner of his eye, Bryan saw the faces of his former crewmen smile just before they disappeared.

why rebuilding indexes? If doing this on schedule, maybe consider this first: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:6601312252730 - tbone
Dropping and recreating indexes won't do that (and might make things worse, see tbone's link); unless you're talking about dropping, loading and then recreating. Gathering statistics will only help if the problem is that the existing statistics are stale or inaccurate and the explain plan(s) indicate it's not working as expected. You need to explain what you're doing and what problem you're seeing - Alex Poole

Yup, it seems about that time. Let's hope Sony learned their painful, multi-billion dollar lesson from the PS3 and refrains from releasing yet another overpriced supercomputer. Of course, given the Vita, that seems unlikely.
"Painful Multi-billion dollar lesson?"
I think you may have overstated things a little here. Global marketshare between the Xbox 360 and PS3 are more or less equal with several analyst predicting the PS3 to pull ahead in 2013. Considering that the 360 had a year head start and at least $50-100 cheaper than the PS3, I'd call that quite impressive.
While Sony has had a tough time financially over the last few years, the Playstation division is the division bringing Sony out of the cellar.
If Sony should take anything away from $599-gate, I hope that it is that in addition to putting out the Caddilac of game consoles, you'll also need a more sensible entry level model to maintain marketshare. The launch 360 was pretty much barebones and didn't do half the things the launch PS3 could do without being nickeled and dimed to death with peripherals. The PS3 was wi-fi ready out the box, rechargeable controllers, Bluetooth and Blu-ray compatible, large hard drive and free online service. Comparing Microsofts initial offering side by side, $599 didn't sound nearly as absurd in 2006. This is why I choose to get the PS3 first.
One feature I'd like to see on the PS4 is a DVR of some sorts with a quick connection to You Tube, Twitter and Facebook. I'd love to record my gameplay footage and quickly share my experiences.
I'd also like to see more TV services like HBOGo and more make its way to PSN. I know XBox has it, but why would I pay Microsoft $60/year just to pay HBO another $20/month when I could just flip inputs and watch it on cable?
Any more predictions/wishes for PS4?
