DENR to reforest Corregidor
MANILA, Philippines—Some 200 hectares of land on the historic Corregidor island will be planted with trees endemic to the area to boost its biological diversity and promote the tourist spot as a bird-watching sanctuary, officials said.
Manuel Escasura, acting regional technical director for ecosystems research and development service of the Department of Environment and Resources' office in Region IV-A, said a mix of forest tree species and fruit-bearing trees would be used to reforest the island and make it more attractive to birds.
"We will plant fruit-bearing trees which will serve as food for the birds. The regional executive director (Reynulfo Juan), during his previous visit to the island last year, saw the need of introducing fruit and forest tree species that are more attractive to birds," he said in a news release.
Juan said the goal was to promote Corregidor in Cavite province not only as a historic battlefield but as an ecological tourism destination.
"Not just to be remembered as 'battlefield' and national shrine noted for the gallantry of the Filipino soldier, Corregidor will be an eco-tourism destination for bird-watching. Yes, Corregidor Island will become a bird sanctuary," he said.
Juan pursued the idea after a visit to Corregidor last year with forestry experts to assess the situation and plan rehabilitation efforts on the island as part of President Aquino's National Greening Program, which aims to plant 1.5 billion trees by 2016.
He said the team of forestry experts from the Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon) would comprehensively survey, plan and map out the forest rehabilitation and tree growing activity on the island.
Initial discussions have been done with concerned agencies including the tourism business establishments in the area, he said.
On Sunday, the DENR signed a memorandum of agreement with Corregidor Foundation, Inc. and the Department of Agriculture for the reforestation effort.
In a ceremony, 50 forest and fruit-tree seedlings such as bignay (Antidesma bunius), lipote (Syzigium curanii), kalumpit (Terminalia edulis), aratiles (Muntingia calabura) and duhat (Syzigium cumini) were planted by the signatories, their staff and children of World War II veterans and war heroes.
"Initially, 50 trees will be planted in the selected area. The plantation area is preselected in consideration of its proximity to the tourism establishments and which will be tasked to take care of and nurture the planted trees," said William Palaypayon, DENR Calabarzon regional technical director for forest management service.
But he said it was not yet the right time to plant as it was still the peak of summer. "We are still in the stage of 'production and hardening' of seedlings and 'plantation site preparation.' Actual planting will commence at the onset of rain in June and July," he said.

About Body Armour
Cycling Body armour is a wise investment for both downhill and trials riding where falls and impacts into immovable objects are always a possibility. Body armour is light, unrestrictive and inexpensive when compared to the alternatives of not wearing it. Some riders even claim that Body armour can increase your confidence levels, which may make you ride faster. Wiggle stocks a large range of body armour which can cover the knees and shin, elbows, shoulders and chest. A lot of manufacturers, such as Dainese, Sixsixone and Thor produce all-in-one armoured jackets to cover the entire upper body for extreme descents. The most common advice with body armour is to buy it 'before' you 'need' it, rather than 'after' you 'needed' it.

SCEA trademarks Until Dawn – competition for Left 4 Dead?
Sony has been teasing a new zombie game which is apparently in development. The game is said to be a serious title and not a humorous bite sized game. Many speculate the game to be a contender to Left 4 Dead, which has not been released for the PS3.
Eagle-eyed Superannuation discovered a new trademark filing by Sony for a new game titled Until Dawn. The description for the title seems to indicate some sort of potential persistent world. The description states: "Providing a real-time computer game for others that may be accessed over global and local area computer networks by network users.â€
Left 4 Dead has always been about you and a few mates battling it out against hordes of zombies. Could Sony be planning a title that falls into that genre? Its too early to say, but I'm sure Sony will have some more info next month at E3.

I began taking pictures thinking maybe some Micechatters would enjoy them (especially those who can't be here). There were 14 wreaths in all but they would not allow us to get close enough for the final one because of the fireworks. Hopefully I can add it in the next few days.

Indian Issues:
Improvements Needed in Tribal Recognition Process
GAO-02-49: Published: Nov 2, 2001. Publicly Released: Nov 2, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-9775
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Indian gambling industry has flourished since the enactment of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act in 1988. Nearly 200 tribes generated about $10 billion in annual revenues in 1999 from their gambling operations. Because of weaknesses in the federal recognition process, the basis for tribal recognition decisions by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is not always clear and the length of time involved can be substantial. Despite an increasing workload, the number of BIA staff assigned to evaluate the petitions has fallen by about 35 percent since 1993. Just as important, the process lacks effective procedures for promptly addressing the increased workload. In particular, the process does not impose effective deadlines that create a sense of urgency, and procedures for providing information to interested third parties are ineffective. GAO summarized this report in testimony before Congress; see: Indian Issues: More Consistent and Timely Tribal Recognition Process Needed, by Barry T. Hill, Director for Natural Resources and Environment, before the Subcommittee on Energy Policy, Natural Resources and Regulatory Affairs, House Committee on Government Reform. GAO-01-415T, Feb. 7 (nine pages).
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In its comments on GAO's November 2001 report, the Department of the Interior agreed with the recommendation and outlined corrective actions to address the recommendation. Interior noted that the precedents set in prior recognition decisions should be made more readily available. To assure consistency and improve the public's understanding of recognition decisions, Interior agreed to develop a plan to make the precedents more accessible and to provide clearer guidelines to the regulations. The Strategic Plan to improve the tribal recognition process was issued by the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs on September 30, 2002. In accordance with the plan, Interior developed a CD-ROM compilation of prior decisions and related documents that is a valuable tool for petitions and practitioners involved in the tribal recognition process. In addition, on March 31, 2005, Interior published in the Federal Register a notice revising and clarifying certain internal procedures for managing the tribal recognition process.
Recommendation: To ensure more predictable and timely tribal recognition decisions, the Secretary of the Interior should direct BIA to provide a clearer understanding of the basis used in recognition decisions by developing and using transparent guidelines that help interpret key aspects of the criteria and supporting evidence used in federal recognition decisions.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In its comments on the report, the Department of the Interior agreed with the recommendation and outlined corrective actions to address the recommendation. On September 12, 2002, the Department of the Interior's Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs approved the strategic plan developed in response to GAO's recommendation. The strategic plan included a complete analysis of the workload and needs assessment for the tribal recognition process.
Recommendation: To ensure more predictable and timely tribal recognition decisions, the Secretary of the Interior should direct BIA to develop a strategy that identifies how to improve the responsiveness of the process for federal recognition. This strategy should include a systematic assessment of the resources available and needed that leads to development of a budget commensurate with workload.

Jeev next plays
in the BMW
Asian Open
He hopes to work his way back into the world's top 50
Augusta: A resolute Jeev Milkha Singh fought back from a disastrous start for his best Major finish at a creditable tied 25th in the U.S. Masters but his failure to sign off among the top-16 has denied him a return ticket to the prestigious event.
The Indian shot a final-round three-over 75 on a chilly windswept day to end his campaign with a total of four-over 292, 12 strokes off the pace of winner Trevor Immelman.
Jeev was six-over after the first 10 holes at Augusta National Golf Club before showing steely resolve to hit four birdies over a five-hole stretch to salvage his round on a day when only four players broke par.
Rises in ranking
The Asian Tour number one in 2006 bettered his previous best finish at a Major, tied 36th in the U.S. Open last year. The performance has helped him climb three places to 80th in the official world rankings.
However, the Chandigarh pro was disappointed with his effort and said he could have finished higher up the leaderboard but messed up his chances by trying too hard.
"I am really disappointed. I came back pretty strongly on the back nine and left a few out there. I tried but I made too many mistakes on the front nine."
Jeev converted a 15-foot birdie on the 16th hole and trickled in his fifth birdie of the round from 12 feet on the 17th, only to hit a bogey on the last after a blocked drive clipped a tree, missing a six foot par save.
"After 10, I said I had nothing to lose. That was the attitude and I came back strongly. The last hole left a sour taste in the mouth. But the 14th was fantastic, it was a great feeling. That hole has always got me and I got it today," said Jeev.
Taking a break
The Indian, who has two runner-up finishes on the Asian Tour this season, will take the next week off before heading to Shanghai for the BMW Asian Open.
He will also play an event in Japan before returning to Europe with the aim of working his way back into the world's top-50. "You learn a lot every time you play here. I'm mentally tired. Every hole takes a lot out of you. I'm taking the week off, refresh myself and start all over again," said Jeev.
"I will go back to Asia before returning to Europe . I want to try to move back into the top-50 in the world and try to get back here for the U.S. Open (in June)," he added. — PTI

Chevy Chase, MDA study to be published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM) shows consumption of a Mediterranean diet enriched with olive oil for two years is associated with increased serum osteocalcin concentrations, suggesting a protective effect on bone.
Age-related bone mass loss and decreased bone strength affects women and men alike are an important determinant of osteoporosis and fracture risk. Studies have shown that the incidence of osteoporosis in Europe is lower in the Mediterranean basin. The traditional Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, with a high intake of olives and olive oil could be one of the environmental factors underlying this difference.
"The intake of olive oil has been related to the prevention of osteoporosis in experimental and in vitro models," said Jos Manuel Fernndez-Real, MD, PhD, of Hospital Dr. Josep Trueta in Girona, Spain and lead author of the study. "This is the first randomized study which demonstrates that olive oil preserves bone, at least as inferred by circulating bone markers, in humans."
The participants in this study were 127 community-dwelling men aged 55 to 80 years randomly selected from one of the Prevencion con Dieta Mediterranea (PREDIMED) study centers who had at least two years of follow-up. The PREDIMED study is a large, parallel group, randomized, controlled trial aimed to assess the effect of the Mediterranean diet on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
For this study, subjects were elderly without prior cardiovascular disease but having a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes or harboring at least three cardiovascular risk factors, namely hypertension, dyslipidemia, or a family history of premature cardiovascular disease. Participants were randomly assigned to three intervention groups: Mediterranean diet with mixed nuts, Mediterranean diet with virgin olive oil, and a low-fat diet.

2. yes, change latency from 43 to 40 !
3. Most of my MSI bios mods were set for 3D of 485 or less because their owners found this speed best ?? Your choice of 500, was your choice ?? Before considering a set value for the bios, it is most important that you either find out what stable speed your card can do, or, research what other people found with their MSI5900XT cards ??
I did a 500MHz bios flash......that was too much for my card......so I changed back to 450MHz, although 485MHz is rock stable.
4. Your memory will survive 71C ! By the way, how are you measuring it with any accuracy, since there are no memory temp sensors ??
I'm using Vantec NEXUX NXP.101 CPU/HDD/Case Temp. Sensor with LCD.
Also, with your card, and if I were you, I would be thinking about fitting some sort of heatsinking to memory chips ? Some people have just fitted simple ram sinks and then placed a fan to blow air over them ??
Warranty will be voided if I attach ramsinks.....so I can't.
5. for set speeds, start at 300/450/820 and increase core in 10MHz steps till you reach 490 and test stability/performance ?
My card is stable at 485/850. Though I want to set it to 450MHz as a precaution.
It will be fine to just run Aquamark03 as it doesn't take long ! But to stress your card, it is necessary to set the driver manually to 8xAA and 8xAF for all testing !
I did check with 3DMark03. I'll check with AquaMark 3 & inform you.
Also, use coolbits for overclocking as it wont be necessary to reboot everytime you raise the core by 10MHz. Don't use rivatuner as overclocking with it prematurely triggers the throttling function, for which you will need to reboot everytime before making any performance tests !
I'm using Coolbits. Rivatuner is better to see pipeline configuration but coolbits is best for NVIDIA cards to overclock.
I'm wondering why memory is heated more than Core (C: 65C / M: 71C)???
So, you think 850MHz is safe for Hynix 2.5ns? I thought it is 50MHz more than official rating.
My card is rock stable at 485MHz, If i set my clock at 450/475MHz, do you think i need to set a lower throttling speed??
Thanks a lot, Jimmor.

PBA import blows it all
IT TOOK some amount of fasting, abstinence and deep meditation this holy week before I realized fully that Jamelle Cornley and the import a popular online writer/TV host had told me about were one and the same.
Weeks ago this writer called me to ask if I wanted to write about model/actress Juliana Palermo who had just broken up with her PBA import boyfriend.
The couple were actually engaged to be married, the writer informed me, but Juliana decided to call off the wedding after she found out something unspeakable about her fiancé, who obviously had a predilection for women like the three Cornley had picked up somewhere in Timog Avenue recently.
The writer-TV host mentioned the name of the import, but I wasn't paying much attention because I had no plans to write about matters that I found a bit too offensive.
I suggested he write about it himself, but he said men don't write about those stuff.
* * *
I had completely forgotten about that call until the Cornley scandal broke out some days ago. After the contemplative period, I called the online writer to ask if Cornley was the import who had been linked to Juliana.
He said yes. Cornley, he said, had liked it so much here in the Philippines, he stayed behind long after the season was over last year. Cornley had led his team, the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, to their first-ever PBA championship and even won the Best Import of the Conference award.
"Cornley has made the Philippines his second home. He has even brought his mother here last year to visit," the writer said.
* * *
According to the online scribe, Cornley was scheduled to leave for the United States today then return before the third conference in August.
A PBA insider said that Cornley and his mother had negotiated for the American's return in the third and last conference.
"I'm not sure if his ball club is subsidizing his stay here, but that's very possible because he's still undergoing rehab for a knee injury," said the insider, who said it is highly unlikely that he would be able to leave the country today as per original schedule.
"I think he's still in jail. I don't think bail can be posted because of the long holiday. If ever, bukas pa siya makakalabas," said the PBA official.
Cornley was arrested and detained at Camp Caringal in Quezon City after he went into a violent rage upon finding out that the three women he had checked in with at the Sir Williams Hotel had stolen his wallet with $1,400 in it. He also punched one of the arresting officers.
Whether he would still be able to play for the Elasto Painters in August remains to be seen.
I was trying to get in touch with RoS coach Yeng Guiao and team owner Raymond Yu but didn't have any luck.
"If the allegations and charges in this incident are proven to be true, I see Mr. Cornley as having zero chance of playing again, at least not under my watch," PBA commissioner Chito Salud had said.

WEST HAVEN - It's only been a little over a month since the Champlain Valley Racing Association agreed to a sanctioning agreement with NASCAR for the 2011 season, and the positive effects are already being felt, according to officials of Devil's Bowl Speedway in West Haven, Vt.
CVRA officials have announced that the winners of the NASCAR Modified division features at both Albany-Saratoga and Devil's Bowl will now be guaranteed $1,000. In addition, the winners of the Division II level pro late models are guaranteed a payout of $500.
"This has all come about because of the overwhelming response of sponsors since we announced our sanction with NASCAR," said Albany-Saratoga Speedway promoter Bruce Richards. "We had previously announced a sliding scale for the purses, based on the number of cars, but because of the sponsorship that's coming in, we can now guarantee $1,000 to the NASCAR Modified feature winner, $500 for the pro late model winner, $200 for the renegade winner, and $150 for the bomber warrior winner."
Purses for all classes have been adjusted and will be posted on the Web.
It was also announced that the pro late models will be running a complete schedule at both Albany-Saratoga and Devil's Bowl in 2011.
"As part of the regular Friday night line-up at Albany-Saratoga last year and in limited engagements at the Bowl, this class consistently put on a great show. With the availability of the NASCAR point fund, we wanted to offer the pro late models the same opportunity at the Bowl this year to run weekly on Sunday," said Devil's Bowl promoter Jerry Richards.
In addition to the guaranteed winner's share, drivers will also be competing for a share of the NASCAR point fund, which will award a combined total of $33,000 to the top 10 competitors in four divisions at both tracks.

Says Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's statement is an attempt to appease the majority
State government trying its best to cover up violence: Archbishop
"No conversion is valid unless it is free"
Bhubaneswar: "Simply out of control," is how Raphael Cheenath, Archbishop of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar, described the situation in Kandhamal, the district in central Orissa that has seen sustained violence against Christians by Sangh Parivar groups since December 2007.
"I see an attempt to appease the majority, because of the coming elections, in the statement given by the Chief Minister, Mr. Naveen Patnaik, when he went to Phulbani [the district headquarters of Kandhamal] yesterday [on Saturday]," he told The Hindu in an interview in Bhubaneswar at the Archbishop's House. "There was not one word in his statement about the 40,000 persons displaced and in relief camps, not one word about the 4,200 homes destroyed, and not one word about the 45 persons — including a pastor who was cut to pieces just a few days ago in front of his wife — who have been murdered. Why did he go?"
A tired and anguished Archbishop severely indicted the State and Central governments of insensitivity and inaction in respect of the violence and injustice perpetrated against the Dalit Christians of Kandhamal.
"My impression is that the State government is trying its best to cover up the violence by giving the impression that the normalcy has been restored, and that there is no need for further action." The Supreme Court, he said, in response to a petition filed before it on September 8 seeking protection from the relentless violence against Christians, had given the State government four weeks to respond. The Archbishop said the Sangh Parivar had used this period to "systematically destroy one village after another."
"Excuse unacceptable"
The excuse of the State government that marauding mobs often outnumbered the police force present at the spot, he said, was unacceptable. "Why did they allow the numbers to swell in the first place?" "We know that in cases of attack and even rape the police just stood by and took no action. What is left to destroy now?"
The Archbishop said he had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh three times, President Pratibha Patel twice, Home Minister Shivraj Patil twice and Congress president Sonia Gandhi once over the situation in Kandhamal. The Prime Minister, he said, called it a "national shame" and promised help, but there had not been any real change in the situation as Dalits continue to live in relief camps and were too frightened to return to their villages.
According to the Archbishop, the Sangh Parivar has "issued a fatwa" that by September 30, residents must return to their villages to be re-converted to Hinduism. "I am issuing a letter that will be distributed to Christians telling them not to worry and to be firm. No conversion is valid unless it is free. A document signed under duress is not valid under law."
He is also planning to call a meeting of Bishops and heads of religious groups to organise a rally in Bhubaneswar protesting the grave violence and injustice against Christians in Kandhamal.

1 year after RI floods, recovery still under way
WEST WARWICK, R.I. Jim Crosby had just reopened his restaurant, the Gentleman Farmer in West Warwick, when the second big storm hit. Sewage backup brought on by heavy rainfall two weeks earlier had already cost him $17,000 in repairs and lost business. To make matters worse, it had driven him, his wife and his teenage son from their first-floor condominium across the street.
Now, the rain was back.
"That's when the big one came," Crosby said. "I never anticipated anything of that magnitude."
Record rainfall in March 2010 pushed Rhode Island rivers above their banks, wreaking an estimated $200 million in damages and prompting President Obama to declare the entire state a disaster area. At least 25,000 homes and 3,400 businesses were reported affected, though state officials say many others never registered damages.
The worst of the flooding came after three days of rain that began March 29 deluged the state. Floodwaters shut down businesses and forced people from their homes across Rhode Island, from Woonsocket in the north to Westerly in the south. Interstate-95 was flooded and closed. Streets in Providence became rivers.
A year later, federal agencies have given nearly $100 million in aid and low-interest loans to over 16,000 affected Rhode Island residents, 174 businesses and state and local governments.
In addition, Gov. Lincoln Chafee's office expects that federal grants totaling tens of millions of dollars will be awarded later this year to help with long-term flood relief.
Despite the money, the recovery for some is far from complete.
Crosby's family evacuated their condo during the first storm without realizing its severity, taking only their son's pet rabbit and a change of clothes. They have been able to salvage only pictures hung above water level. Crosby's condo is partially below ground level, which the National Flood Insurance Program designates as a basement, so it wasn't covered by federal flood insurance. The family now lives in a rented town house.
Across the street, the Gentleman Farmer's basement filled with 16 feet of water, ruining the subfloor of its 50-seat dining room. The building's owner wasn't required to take out flood insurance and never did. Crosby said the owner refused to help pay for an estimated $72,000 in repairs, and Crosby didn't want to take out federal loans to fix a building he didn't own.
Crosby estimates his losses at about $225,000 for damage to his home and restaurant.
Others in Crosby's neighborhood, among the worst hit in the state, have fared better.
A chapel attached to Sacred Heart church and the church's basement filled with seven feet of rain water during the flood, just days before Easter. But the Rev. Richard Bucci called the flooding a blessing in disguise. Repairs were covered by insurance, and workers, while redoing the basement, discovered a severe termite infestation.
Next door, a salon and a photography studio owned by Dianna Solimeo and her husband were overrun with water. The couple ran their photography business out of their living room for seven weeks while spending "thousands and thousands" of dollars to renovate the studio and salon, which were not insured for flooding, Solimeo said.

Bono Throws Red AIDS Lifeline to Africa
Africast, January 30, 2006
DAVOS, Switzerland, January 30 -- Rock star and activist Bono has launched a new push to fight HIV/Aids in Africa, unveiling a partnership with American Express and other companies to offer products under a brand called "Red", proceeds of which will be funnelled to the cause.
"So, here we are, fat cats in the snow, and I say that as one," said the denim-jacketed U2 frontman, who was flanked by Italian fashion tycoon Giorgio Armani and corporate executives who joined him for the announcement on Thursday at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.
The project, called "Red", will market red-themed products from Converse footwear, Gap clothing and Giorgio Armani, as well as a red American Express card to be offered initially only in Britain, as of next month.
Products branded "Red" will include sports shoes, T-shirts and sunglasses -- some produced in Africa, some with African materials.
A slice of the revenue -- numbers vary by company and product -- will go to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
"We sought out iconic companies who make iconic products," said Bobby Shriver, who runs an organisation called Debt, Aids and Trade in Africa and has been working with Bono for several years.
Bono -- sporting his trademark wraparound sunglasses -- seemed a trifle amused beside his suited, polished partners. But he quickly turned serious, his voice cracking slightly as he recounted the story of an HIV-positive young African who chose to take his single dosage of anti-retrovirals himself, denying the critical drug to his girlfriend and possibly condemning her to death.
He said each day brings 6 500 HIV-related deaths in Africa -- and 9 000 new infections.
"We're losing in the battle ... Maybe it's an Irish macho thing, but I really don't like losing," the Irish native said. "I'm calling it conscious commerce for people who are awake, people who think about their spending power and say, 'I've got two jeans I can buy. One I know is made in Africa and is going to make a difference and the other isn't. What am I going to buy?'"
American Express marketing chief John Hayes said the new American Express card -- whose back side proclaims the goal of "eliminating" HIV in Africa -- will transfer 1% of all purchases made with it to the project.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Bono alluded to the potential discomfort with his new alliances.
"Some people will be very upset," he said. "We're working with big business, we're working with big companies ... [But] the problem just has to be sorted and we can't do it just with governments alone.
"We're fighting a fire. The house is burning down. Let's get the water. You end up beside somebody who lives up the road who you don't really like. Do you really care if he's polishing up his image [by] putting the fire out?"
Richard Feachem, executive director of the Global Fund, said that to date, "a very small proportion" of the fund's current
$4,7-billion comes from corporations or individuals, but that he has concluded that depending on governments is not enough.
The Global Fund was created to finance a dramatic turn-around in the fight against Aids, tuberculosis and malaria. To date, the fund has committed $4,4-billion in 128 countries to fight the three diseases.
"We've announced today a launch with four companies [but] we need 400," he said, adding that success will also depend on whether American Express extends the Red card line to the United States as well.
He said he hopes Red will generate "tens of millions of dollars soon, hundreds of millions of dollars a little further downstream. Significant money."
"If we succeed," Bono interjected. "But we could fail. If people are jaded or cynical ... or genuinely not interested, then we fail.
But we've tried. I think we've come up with a sexy, smart, savvy idea that will save people's lives." - AP

Taito has released the first screens of the PlayStation version of RayCrisis. The 2.5D (2D gameplay, but with 3D backgrounds) shooter was previously released in Japanese arcades, and it is the sequel to the popular game RayStorm.
RayCrisis will feature five stages of shooting action, taking place in such areas as the desert, the city, the clouds, and more. As with many shooters, RayCrisis lets you select the order in which you play these levels.
Japanese gamers can look forward to the PlayStation incarnation of RayCrisis in February of this year. A US version should follow later in the year.

Hi all,
I was just looking at this option thinking it would be handy for the laptops around the house, etc so I decided to add my home lan to the list. I entered 10.168.1.0/24 into the field and most clients seemed to work fine, however DLNA and my MediaLink (LG) TV stopped working and were unable to view any media (in DLNA mode) or see my Plex server on the TV.
Since I interrupted two family members viewing I quickly undid the change once I knew what was happening, but I'm wondering. Am I supposed to use cidr notation or do I need to fully write out the netmask for this to work correctly, and/or does Plex have a bug that I can help track down?

Bruins welcome Blackhawks back to TD Garden
|03.27.14 at 1:10 pm ET
The Blackhawks are back in Boston for the first time since winning the Stanley Cup last June 24.
As you can imagine, the Hawks found the visiting dressing room much cleaner than they'd left it, and they were happy to be back where they scored two goals in 17 seconds in Game 6 to win their second Cup in a three-year span.
"It was a great memory, it was a great night. Unpredictable, amazing ending," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said after his team's morning skate. "There's a lot of good memories, for sure. We expect a dangerous team on the other side. They're playing extremely well, so it will be a great test for us in that regard."
This will be Boston and Chicago's second meeting since the Cup finals, as the Blackhawks defeated the B's in a shootout at the United Center back on Jan. 19.
"I think playing in their rink first definitely took the edge off," Brad Marchand said Thursday morning. "This time, it's more about just playing our game and conning the way we have been.
"The first time we played them was the first time we played against each other since the Cup finals. It's always a big game for the crowd and for us. It was nice to get that one behind us, and now we can just worry about playing our game."
One storyline with these two teams — and it's one that has been overkilled like you read about (and then read about 10 more times — is the amount of respect the two teams have for one another. It's come up so often for good reason, however, as the teams both play strong two-way hockey.
Plus, as Claude Julien put it, the Blackhawks don't do things to get a rise out of the B's like some of Boston's other opponents do.
"I'm one of those guys that believes they play the game the right way," Julien said of the Blackhawks. "There's no embellishment, no crap, none of that stuff."
Tuukka Rask and Corey Crawford will be in net for their respective teams Thursday night.

For the first 50 years of computing, the input and output of a computer have been to different places. Mobile computing and the touch screen are quickly changing things though and the changes extend to the aircraft industry. At the 59th Annual Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Rockwell Collins has unveiled the first touch-control primary flight displays (PFD) for business jets and turboprop aircraft, which will be available on future applications of the company's Pro Line Fusion avionics system.

Augmented reality windows being developed for Toyota
By Ben Coxworth
July 25, 2011
As a child sitting in the back of the family car, did you ever use your finger to doodle in the condensation on the inside of the windows? Well, a group of engineers and designers from Toyota Motor Europe's Kansei1 Design Division and the consultancy arm of the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (CIID) have taken car-window-doodling into the 21st Century. They've created a prototype system that could turn the side windows of Toyotas into touchscreen augmented reality devices, allowing passengers to interface with the passing scenery. Read More
While most people prefer using physical keyboards and only tolerate virtual keyboards on their mobile devices for the sake of portability, onscreen keyboards do potentially offer a flexibility that can't be matched by physical keyboards. It's this flexibility that IBM is looking to take advantage of with the company recently filing a U.S. patent application for a morphing touchscreen keyboard interface that would automatically resize, reshape and reposition keys based on a user's typing style.

While the iPod touch 4G is known for its gaming capabilities, it doesn't support haptic feedback, which could enhance the mobile gaming experience.

LiquidText software designed for active reading
By Ben Coxworth
June 30, 2011
The more ways in which you can engage yourself with what you're reading, the more likely you are to understand and remember it. It's a practice known as active reading, and it can involve taking notes, highlighting passages, setting aside snippets of important information, or even reading text aloud. While some programs already exist that facilitate the active reading of digital documents, a team from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed what they believe is a better approach. It's called LiquidText, and it was developed around touchscreen technology. Read More

Review: HP TouchSmart 610-1030a desktop PC
May 24, 2011
While touch displays have become standard on mobile devices, touch displays for desktop PCs - ushered in by HP on its first TouchSmart back in 2007 - haven't really set the world on fire. So what do touchscreens bring to the desktop environment? HP had continued to build on its its TouchSmart line, so we decided to see if its latest offering, the TouchSmart 610-1030a, provides a compelling reason to ditch the traditional keyboard and mouse - at least for some users.

A few short weeks ago, I said what a shame it was that Minebea's gorgeous COOL LEAF touch keyboard didn't allow for different country-specific keyboard layouts. A shortlisted entry in designboom's 2011 Fujitsu Design Award competition has taken such personal configuration a stage further with a touchscreen keyboard on a full-size laptop which would allow users to arrange and configure their own layout choices.

Toshiba Mobile Display (TMD) has unveiled a 7-inch, 1024 x 600 pixel resolution touchscreen LCD panel where the capacitive multi-touch input functionality is integrated into the liquid crystal cell. The company says that this will allow the production of touch-enabled displays without having to add an additional touch panel to the LCD during the manufacturing process. The technology is initially headed for vehicle-mounted and industrial applications but could well lead to the development of more compact mobile products. Read More
Supercharging touchscreen interaction, with Ringbow
April 29, 2011
Without a doubt, touchscreen technology has brought a whole new level of interaction with our devices. Israel's Efrat Barit and Saar Shai, however, believe that the functionality of touch-enabled devices could be greatly enhanced with the development of their Ringbow concept. Worn on the index finger, the ring-like device can be programmed to add extra capabilities to existing actions, activate entirely new touch options, or liberate the user's hands from the surface of the display for Kinect-like, spatial control over touchscreen device operation.

Remembering Roone Arledge
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
TERENCE SMITH: Hundreds of broadcasting colleagues, celebrities, and relatives filled St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan today to pay final tribute to a broadcasting pioneer, Roone Arledge.
A former president of ABC Sports and News, Arledge died last week from cancer. Arledge built ABC's Wide World of Sports into a powerhouse, and ushered in the era of prime- time sports with Monday Night Football. He was an innovator [in the use of] instant replay, slow motion, and hand-held cameras.
Moving on to the news division, Arledge attracted major talent to the network, and created a roster of shows, including Nightline, 20-20, and This Week.
Sportscaster Frank Gifford hosted Monday Night Football from its early days.
FRANK GIFFORD, Sportscaster: Roone would absolutely love this gathering. He really would. Look at the demographics here. It's a sellout. He would love that, too.
Mine was the first Super Bowl that ABC did, and Roone was actively producing it at the time as he did Monday Night Football, but he was in the truck, and just before the game was schedule to begin, he started the countdown, "Ten, nine, eight, there are 150 million people, Frank, be great, go!" That was my countdown. And I started to think that maybe that was part of the genius of Roone also, because he had a way of impacting on you. You were alert and ready, no matter what happened.
TERENCE SMITH: ABC News Nightline Anchor Ted Koppel:
TED KOPPEL, Anchor, Nightline: Roone was not a man to leave his talents under a bushel unspent. At times, there just wasn't enough of him to go around.
Still, there are so many of us here this morning who became so much more than we ever would have been without him.
TERENCE SMITH: 20/20 co-host Barbara Walters said the impact of Arledge will be felt for a long time to come.
BARBARA WALTERS, CO-Host, 20/20: Roone didn't just change ABC Sports and ABC News.
He changed each of us. When Roone was the head of ABC News, there was a phone in every control room only for calls from Roone, and it was called the "Roone Phone." And the greatest thrill for any of us was when that phone rang, and it was Roone saying, "Great job." And the biggest disappointment for any of us was when that phone range and Roone said, "Not such a good job." And now Roone is gone, and that phone will never ring again.
TERENCE SMITH: World News Tonight Anchor Peter Jennings:
PETER JENNINGS: He made life and work so exciting, and he made everything seem so possible. I was once quoted in an article accurately saying that he was a good boss, as in an okay boss, but a great leader.
And he sent me a note which said tersely that he would appreciate it if I never discussed him in public again. I hate doing so under these circumstances. He was impossible, but he was wonderful.
TERENCE SMITH: Roone Arledge was 71.

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
Duluth man who bounced checks for Wisconsin vehicles get 7 1/2 years
A federal judge in Madison doubled the guideline sentence for a Duluth man authorities say swindled Wisconsin residents out of their cars and took them to Minnesota.
Gale A. Rachuy, 61, pleaded guilty in November to interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle.
In sentencing Rachuy on Friday, U.S. District Judge William M. Conley said he was astounded at Rachuy's 28 previous convictions, and called him "the epitome of a white-collar career offender."
Rachuy has shown "no compunction about committing additional crimes," Conley said, and the stiff sentence "is necessary to protect the public from a financial predator."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Sinnott said Rachuy would find cars for sale on the street, or bulletin boards or Craigslist in the Duluth-Superior area, contact the sellers and buy the vehicles with a check written on a closed account.
But the time the checks bounced, Rachuy would have the vehicle and be gone, Sinnott said.
In all, he got seven vehicles worth about $135,000, from a $35,000 Chevy Silverado pickup to a $5,000 pontoon boat. The bogus sales took place in 2010, Sinnott said.
On the plus side, all seven vehicles were recovered and returned to their owners, Sinnott said.

Ali Baba's is a must for anyone visiting Ios. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had at a reasonable price. The owner greeted us as we arrived and the service continued to be excellent for the rest of our meal.

Paris - In-form Andy Murray made it 18 games unbeaten by beating Andy Roddick 6-2, 6-2 at Bercy Arena on Thursday to reach the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters.
Murray had spoken of the importance of "getting inside" Roddick's mighty serve and he broke the American in the opening game, before securing a second break with a stinging cross-court forehand to go 5-2 up.
A similar stroke brought him the set and Roddick wilted in the second set, smashing his racquet into the ground at one stage, as his opponent closed out a straightforward 62-minute victory.
Murray, the second seed, will face either Czech fifth seed Tomas Berdych or 11th-seeded Serbian Janko Tipsarevic for a place in the last four.
World number one and top seed Novak Djokovic meets Serbian compatriot Viktor Troicki later on Thursday, while third seed Roger Federer - who has never reached the final at this event - takes on France's Richard Gasquet.

Here's a ray of good news for downtowners bummed by the Biscayne Boulevard traffic mess: Three Chefs Chinese restaurant has opened, construction be darned. A bonus for the hungry and time pressed: The little newbie next to Bin. 18 delivers New York-style fast.
Prices are super affordable too, with both lunch and dinner specials. Take the pork egg foo young ($4.95 by day, $8.50 at night), for example. The takeout tray overflows with food (no skimping on meat), complete with fried rice at lunch plus an egg roll at dinner.
The mu shu pork, stir-fried with eggs and mushrooms, was another goodie. I'd forgotten how fun it is to stuff and roll those little pancakes and dip them in sweet plum sauce. Beef and broccoli came in a delicious brown sauce, vegetables perfectly al dente. Shrimp lo mein's noodles were slippery and fun, though the shellfish was a little chewy. General Tso's chicken was a good balance of sweet and spicy, teeming with nuggets of white meat plus red peppers, garlic and onions. I mopped up the extra sauce with fried dumplings -- a definite treat.
Craving a little breakfast? Opt for the egg foo young, a pancake-meets-omelet you don't see much on Chinese menus these days.

Distant cousin arrested in connection with killing of 16-year-old Aransas Pass girl
ARANSAS PASS - Aransas Pass police arrested an 18-year-old man Saturday on a warrant issued in connection with the homicide of Jenna Hernandez, 16.
Hernandez was found dead about 9 a.m. Thursday on the water's edge in the bayside community.
Police obtained an arrest warrant late Friday for Lawrence A. Mireles, according to the department's website. No other information about the warrant was available.
Mireles had not been booked into San Patricio County jail Saturday, jail officials said, so specific charges and bail amount were not available.
Police Chief Eric Blanchard did not return calls Saturday.
An autopsy was done Friday, but police have not disclosed how Hernandez died.
Family members have said she had been texting with someone before leaving to meet the person.
Mireles is a distant cousin, said Donna Hernandez, the teen's aunt.
"There's a lot of speculation going around," Hernandez said. "We believe he's the one Jenna was texting."
The family is a bit relieved that Mireles was in police custody, she said.
The family is hosting a candlelight vigil at 8:30 tonight at Conn Brown Harbor in Aransas Pass.
Funeral services for Jenna Hernandez are planned with Charlie Marshall Funeral Home.
Visitation begins at 3 p.m. Monday. Rosary will be recited at 7 p.m. followed by a celebration of life. Services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

For those who have lived in Hampton Roads a long time, another tropical storm may not seem like a big deal. After all, most likely, you've been through a few without any major issues.
So what if you knew that the majority of those who die in floods perish while trying to drive through floodwater, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
But this doesn't have to happen if you remember a few simple rules.
What to remember when driving during heavy rain
First of all, hang up the mobile phone. Driving in poor weather conditions demands your undivided attention and both hands on the steering wheel.
Be sure to turn on your headlights so that other drivers can see you.
If a street is barricaded, do not drive around the barricade it's there for a reason. Find another route.
Do not drive through standing water or water containing downed power lines. A mere foot of moving water has enough force to sweep away a car according to Progressive Insurance. It also can cause your engine to stall and expose your car's many electrical systems to flood damage. Given that the average new car contains more than two-dozen CPUs, and some luxury cars have twice that number, exposing them to water can bring your car to a standstill even if your engine is running.
If you're forced to drive through water, drive slowly. If your vehicle stalls, you can try restarting the engine, but this could ruin it.
If you pass through water safely, test your brakes; wet brakes have reduced stopping ability.
If your car stalls and becomes submerged in water
First, don't panic, but understand that you don't have long to react. If the water is very deep, the car will continue to float for as long as 60 seconds. This is long enough for you to escape.
Instantly unlock the doors and roll down the windows. According to AAA, your car's electrical system should continue working for about a minute.
Once the window is open, unbuckle your seat belt and climb through the open window and swim with the current to safety.
If the windows won't open, you'll want to break one to exit the car. You might want to carry a hammer in the glove box for such an emergency. Most likely, you will not be able to open the car door until the water pressure is equal both inside and outside the car.
If your car has been flooded: what to do after the storm
Should your car become submerged, here's what to do, and not do, once the water recedes.
First, do not start the car. There's water in the engine. Starting the car at this point could permanently damage the engine.
Next, remove any water still inside the vehicle as quickly as possible. While drying the interior will help, you might have to replace carpets or other soft-trim pieces that became wet to prevent mold from spreading quickly.
Then, look for a high water line on the car. It's possible that vulnerable parts were untouched. If you're not sure, open the hood and check the oil dipstick or air cleaner for signs of water. Late model cars have sealed fuel systems, so they are unlikely to have water in them. However, other parts of the car's driveline could have been infiltrated by water. Also, it's not unusual for some electrical components to be located low in a vehicle, so some of them could be damaged.
Check the electrical system by turning on the headlights, or using other accessories such as the audio system or power door locks.
Remember to note the type of water in the flood, as fresh water causes less damage than salt water.
Most of all, if in doubt as to your vehicle's health, have it towed to a trusted mechanic. This is especially true if you drive a hybrid, as their complex electrical systems and extensive wiring make them more vulnerable to flood damage.
Finally, call your insurance company. But you knew that, right?

PHOENIX — Phoenix police say a suicidal person is hospitalized in stable condition after being shot by a police officer.
Sgt. Trent Crump says police responding to a 911 call Monday night from the person's family were told the person was despondent and was damaging items and hurting himself.
Crump says officers encountered the person, who was armed with a knife, and that an officer used a stun gun to no effect.
According to Crump, another officer then shot the person once, wounding him in the torso.
The age of the person was not released, and no additional information was immediately available.

Through SC REACH for Success, a statewide network of Public Computer Centers (PCCs) has been established. For Piedmont Tech, this initiative means that computer labs at all seven campuses have been updated and are ready for public use.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for people in all seven counties we serve," said Jennifer Wilbanks, dean of county campuses. "These PCCs will help us provide computer access to many people who otherwise would not have it."
The diversified agriculture and horticulture programs at Piedmont Technical College continue to garner accolades from across the State.
Students at Piedmont Technical College recently headed back to class. Interested students still have time to enroll for Late Term, which begins September 26.
Piedmont Technical College has named Tara Harris the college's dean of Nursing. Harris replaces Rosalie Stevenson who retired in July after 32 years of service to PTC.
Recent graduates of Piedmont Technical College's nursing program at the Greenwood campus were recognized in a pinning ceremony in August.
The ADN students and their hometowns are, front from left, Cynthia Bryan, Edgefield; Jennifer Dorn, Newberry; and Elizabeth Morris, Saluda. Back, Jessica Prince, Whitmire; Janice Sliter, Johnston; and Cyndel Wilson, Ridge Spring.
At Piedmont Technical College's recent summer commencement exercises, outstanding students from each of the college's seven supporting counties were honored for academic achievement.
Piedmont Technical College president Dr. Ray Brooks, back center, honored six college associates with the Presidential Medallion, the institution's most prestigious award, at PTC's recent commencement exercises. Instituted in 1991 during the college's silver anniversary celebration, the medallions recognize individuals who have made significant contributions toward excellence in education.
Piedmont Technical College President Dr. Ray Brooks has named Dr. Donna Foster the college's Associate Vice President of Institutional Assessment and Compliance.
Foster joined the college in 1992 as the developmental mathematics coordinator and a member of the math faculty. Most recently, she served as dean of arts and sciences.
Representatives from Piedmont Technical College, readySC and the ZFGroup took advantage of the Open House festivities at the new Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CAM) in Laurens to solidify the agreement between the three entities concerning all training for the company.
"This agreement that confirms our commitment to work collaboratively to provide the training for ZF employees," said Susan Heath, area director for readySC.
The Multipurpose building at Piedmont Technical College was the setting for the culmination of many dreams for the more than 300 Piedmont Technical College graduates who took center stage in two commencement ceremonies.
Dr. Ray Brooks, president, welcomed graduates, family and guests to celebrate the accomplishments of the graduates.
"We have student speakers because that is the focus of this college – our students," Brooks said. "We are here tonight to celebrate learning and achievement."

Been to Taranaki? You can add photos, facts, attractions, places to eat and tips by visiting the destination pages of towns you have visited in Taranaki.
A lovely park, and well kept. Ponds, fountains and good walks. There is a good wee cafe which also rents out mobility scooters to get around.
People thought this was the best attractionthought this was great!
Looking for a fast fun day out then check out the local go-cart joint - Maki Nitro! Located just out of town this place is great with a couple of friends or with a large group. You can just race each other or have teams with real-time lap times to see who really is the fastest!

To find a fantastic little place in a small township doesn't happen too often. The service was that of fine dining found in a big city. The food when it arrived smelt as good as it looked and tasted even better.
People thought this was a great place to eat. Did you?thought this was great!
If you like Southern Indian food you won't be disappointed!
Great food, fast, friendly service and the staff are happy to recommend a dish if you're not familiar with something on the menu.
People thought this was a great place to eat. Did you?thought this was great!
Great place to get a feed in the center of town with amazing views out to the wind wand and foreshore. Open for breakfast lunch and dinner including some really amazing pizza dishes! Once you've finished your meal you can take a tour around the Puke Araki museum in which Arborio is located.

New Plymouth is a great place to visit and live. Each season brings the best part of it with hot (not too hot!) summers and cold winters. However, if you're visiting during autumn or spring then you best pack for any season. With Mt Egmont being a stone's throw away it really messes up the weather - it's often said that you can bike in a complete circle and you'll get a head wind the entire way! So dress warm but bring your shorts and jandles just in case.
Each year, Pukekura Park is transformed into a wonderland of light displays, musical festivities, and more! It's a highlight of the year for residents of New Plymouth and visitors alike. The festival typically runs from mid-December to late January. If you're in town, do not miss a magical night at the park!

Democrat Tammy Baldwin is ahead of her rival Republican Tommy Thompson in fundraising in a close race for the U.S. Senate, while Thompson has dipped into his personal fortune to augment his finances.
With three weeks to go before the election, Baldwin has raised more money since the last reporting period, and she has more cash on hand.
But while their own coffers are important, the funding lags far behind the spending of independent groups, which have been flooding the airwaves for weeks with attack ads on Baldwin, a congresswoman, and Thompson, the former governor.
The Baldwin campaign says it has raised $3.58 million since the Aug. 14 primary, compared with $2.2 million that the Thompson camp says it has raised.
As for cash, Baldwin's campaign says it had nearly $3.5 million on Sept. 30. Thompson's campaign said it had nearly $2 million to spend between now and the November election.
Financial statements were to be filed Monday. The filings were unavailable, but the campaigns provided summaries.
The race between the two is close, with a poll last week by Quinnipiac University, The New York Times and CBS News showing Baldwin leading 48% to 46%.
A new Marquette University Law School Poll will be released Wednesday.
All told, Baldwin has raised about $11.3 million for the race, according to the campaign and figures from the Federal Election Commission.
The picture is less clear with Thompson, because the campaign did not provide corresponding figures for comparison. Thompson, however, is clearly lagging behind Baldwin at raising money.
Federal election records show that Thompson has contributed $632,500 to his campaign and made a $100,000 loan as well.
Thompson told the Journal Sentinel in August that he would not put millions of dollars of his own money into the race, the way Republican challenger Eric Hovde did during the primary.
"I don't think it's right," he said. "I don't think that people should buy an election with their own wealth." A spokesman for Thompson's office was not available to discuss Thompson's contributions.
"It's pretty interesting," said Joe Heim, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. "Tammy has been extremely successful at fundraising and Tommy has been the most experienced and adept at it, but he has not been able to match her."
Thompson's financial situation is different from Baldwin's, Heim noted, because he had to spend money on a four-way primary.
As for Thompson's inability to match Baldwin, Heim offered two possibilities:
Thompson hasn't generated the enthusiasm from the donor base that he expected.
Many donors might be tapped out from this year's gubernatorial recall and the Nov. 6 presidential election.
Thompson's campaign has said it never believed it needed to raise as much as Baldwin because of the name recognition of the former governor.
"Relatively speaking, it's still a young race because the primary was competitive and the real race started late," said Jennifer Duffy of the Cook Political Report. "We have been looking at primaries that have been going on for 18 months."
She ranks the race as a tossup.
Duffy said it costs $132,000 to buy a 30-second TV spot in the Milwaukee market that will be seen 10 times by the average TV viewer.
This year, spending by outside groups has played a more critical factor than the 2010 election between Ron Johnson and Russ Feingold. Johnson, the GOP candidate, defeated Feingold, the incumbent.
Outside spending
As of Monday, independent groups have spent $23.2 million on the Wisconsin Senate race, according to the Federal Election Commission. The Wisconsin Senate race ranked second behind Virginia in outside spending.
The Johnson-Feingold race attracted about $3 million in outside money.
The Center for Responsive Politics uses Federal Election Commission data to analyze the spending of outside groups, which included the GOP primary and other spending on behalf of candidates. Its latest analysis shows that $9.2 million has been spent against Thompson and $5.4 million has been spent against Baldwin.
Several key groups supporting Thompson and Baldwin said last week they planned to keep spending on television advertising.
"It tells you that outside forces believe that this is one of the key races to invest in," Heim said.

I love any poster with Kimbo. I hope JT knocks him out though.
I love how they left that other chick out of the poster.
Kimbo sucks and looks like a damn hairy ape.
haha thats true. the other chick must be pretty ugly because she is the only one left out of the poster. looks like a good card though.
james thompson has some of the best staredowns, but we all know he has a glass jaw. he got starched by fedor's brother, brett rogers, neil grove, butterbean… just to name a few.
Yeah, Thompson looks mean and has that crooked eye staredown. But he seems to fall like a ton of bricks whenever someone lands a clean shot.
