The Elk County Catholic Crusaders advanced to tonight's Allegheny Mountain League championship game by defeating the DuBois Central Cardinals 49-42 in overtime Friday at the ECCHS gym.
The Crusaders will meet the Ridgway Elkers who defeated the Johnsonburg Rams 56-38 last night at Ridgway for the league title. The game is set for 8 p.m. at St. Marys Area High School.
DuBOIS - The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders jumped out to an early lead on Friday evening in the AML semifinal game against the DuBois Central Catholic Lady Cardinals and never looked back, as they won by a 40-29 score to advance to the championship game tonight at St. Marys Area.
The Elk Catholic girls were the No. 2 team out to the AML North and the DuBois Central Catholic girls were the No. 1 team out of the AML South.
RIDGWAY – Backed by a 23-point performance from senior Kayla Hoohuli, the visiting Lady Dutch (21-1) nearly doubled Ridgway's (1-21) output Friday night in a 70-37 victory over the Lady Elkers.
"I thought we ran the court pretty well and played man-to-man defense very well," said St. Marys head girls' varsity basketball coach Bob Swanson after capping off a 21-1 season. "We tried a couple zones but Ridgway shot the ball well [Friday night] and I think they're a much-improved ball club.

Hello, can anyone help me identify this font?
I already tried a few online font identification tools and didn't get the correct result.
Thank you!
Thanks Alex for the links!
I also found a few fonts that look similar but not the one that was used in the image
If you look at the letter "s" you'll notice a difference.

SIM card for use in Australia
by bastropdan - 10/25/13 5:23 AM
We are traveling to Australia next year and need to get a SIM card for calling back to the US occasionally to talk with my 90 year old mother and her caretaker. We have an unlocked GSM SIM card phone. My main concern is with companies who market the SIM cards with talk time. Which are reputable, and which are not so. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

Come volunteer for The Otter Project & Monterey Coastkeeper!
We are piloting some exciting new programs and we need volunteers to help make them possible! Please join us in protecting our beautiful coastline and the amazing wildlife that calls it home! This is a great opportunity to spend some time on the coast and work closely with The Otter Project staff to make these programs a reality—they wouldn't happen without community support!
We have opportunities around Ano Nuevo, the Monterey Peninsula, Big Sur, Piedras Blancas & Cambria.
Volunteering for The Otter Project is a great opportunity to get involved, meet new, interesting people, and to get connected to the wild things and places we are working to protect.
Volunteer Introductory Meeting: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 6:00 pm
First National Bank Community Room, 615 Abrego St. Monterey, CA 93940
Come meet The Otter Project & Monterey Coastkeeper staff, learn about volunteer opportunities and sign up for trainings.
RSVP is appreciated, but not necessary. You can RSVP by e-mailing Heather at heather at otterproject.org, visiting our facebook invitation, or just show up!
We welcome volunteers of all ages but ask that volunteers under the age of 18 have parental permission & supervision.
MPA Watch
Be part of a core group of volunteers to pilot MPA Watch! This is a NEW program, so you will get to help get it off the ground! This is an exciting opportunity that requires a sense of adventure and flexibility.
In 2007 the state of California adopted its first network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) right here at our doorstep—the Central Coast! MPAs are like underwater parks. They were created with scientific guidance to provide protection for valuable underwater resources. To protect wildlife and habitat, certain activities are prohibited in these underwater parks.
The Otter Project was a driving force in the effort to establish these protections—now it's essential that we make them work. MPA Watch will mobilize volunteers to monitor how people are using these valuable patches of ocean.
Activities will include spending time at monitoring sites, recording data, meeting with team-members to help develop monitoring protocols, and helping staff record and analyze data.
Scheduling is flexible, but shifts must be scheduled regularly. We are asking for a minimum commitment of 2 hours a week.
Read a full description of the MPA Watch volunteer position here.
Outreach and Events
Are your friends tired of hearing you talk about otters all the time? Mine too. Join The Otter Project's outreach team and share your knowledge where it's appreciated!
Outreach volunteers will help us spread the word at fairs, festivals and tabling events. Volunteers will have the opportunity to educate the public on the importance of sea otters and healthy local ecosystems, as well as help The Otter Project build and maintain vital community support.
Special Events
Help us host our Second Annual Sea Otter Awareness Week Art Show! Following the success of last years' celebration of sea otter awareness week, we've decided to do it again! We will need lots of help putting together a new sea otter inspired art show this year. Volunteers will help with artist outreach, transportation, fundraising, and organizing the event.

Obama to repeat oath Monday to begin 2nd term
More News from Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Barack Obama on Monday will repeat for hundreds of thousands of people an oath to "protect and defend" the US Constitution, a day after officially affirming the duties of president in a private White House ceremony.
The day of festivities, parades and fancy dress balls will mark the beginning of Obama's second four-year term as America's first black president. The politician who rose improbably from a history as a community organizer in Chicago and a professor of constitutional law to the pinnacle of power faces a nation riven by partisan disunity, a still-weak economy and an array of challenges abroad.
Obama on Monday will take the oath again before the crowd and is expected to follow the recent tradition of walking at least part of the way back to the White House, surrounded by cheers.
In the briefest of ceremonies Sunday, with family gathered in the White House, Obama took the oath of office shortly before noon, as required by law. With his left hand on a family bible held by first lady Michelle Obama, the 44th president raised his right hand and repeated the time-honored words read out by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
The intimate swearing-in met the legal requirement that presidents officially take office on Jan. 20. Because that date fell on a Sunday this year, the traditional public ceremonies surrounding the start of a president's term were put off to Monday, which coincides this year with the birthday of revered civil rights leader Martin Luther King.
Obama made no special remarks at Sunday's ceremony. "I did it," he said quietly to his youngest daughter, Sasha, before wrapping her in a hug. The oath went smoothly, unlike four years ago, when Roberts made mistakes while trying to recite the oath from memory and had to do it again with Obama later.
Monday's events are expected to have less of the effervescence of four years ago, when the 1.8 million people packed into central Washington knew they were witnessing history. Obama is now older, grayer and more entrenched in the politics he once tried rise above. Officials are expecting 500,000 to 700,000 people to turn out Monday.
As he enters his second term, Americans increasingly see Obama as a strong leader, someone who stands up for his beliefs and is able to get things done, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. The survey shows him with a 52 percent job approval rating, among the highest rankings since early in his presidency. His personal favorability, 59 percent, has rebounded from a low of 50 percent in the 2012 campaign against Republican Mitt Romney.
When the partying is done on Monday, it's back to business for a president who is leading a nation that is, perhaps, as divided as at any time since the Civil War 150 years ago. That conflict put down a rebellion by southern states and ended slavery.
In light of the nation's troubled racial history, Obama's election to the White House in 2008 as the first black president was seen by many as a turning point. In his first inaugural address, Obama vowed to moderate the partisan anger engulfing the country, but the nation is only more divided four years on.
While Obama convincingly won a second term, the jubilation that surrounded him four years ago is subdued this time around — a reality for second-term presidents. He guided the country through many crushing challenges after taking office in 2009: ending the Iraq war, putting the Afghan war on a course toward US withdrawal and saving the collapsing economy. He won approval for a sweeping health care overhaul. Yet onerous problems remain, and his success in resolving them will define his place in history.
Obama's Democrats and opposition Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, are at political war about gun control and managing the nation's finances
Shortly before Obama took the oath privately on Sunday, a top White House adviser made the rounds of nationally televised talk shows, saying he was confident Congress would pass comprehensive immigration reform this year, but he sounded less sure about prospects for toughening the nation's gun laws.
Immigration reform should be easier as Republicans realize their stance on that issue led to an overwhelming Hispanic vote in favor of Obama last year.
On gun control, Plouffe mixed statements of optimism with an acknowledgement of political realities. Republicans in the House and even some Democrats in the Senate have been extremely cautious in addressing the issue. "It's going to be very, very hard," Plouffe said on CBS.
Obama also faces bitter confrontation with Republicans over avoiding a default on the nation's debts, cutting the spiraling federal deficit and preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon.
Obama may have to decide whether to launch a strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, something he is loath to do. Washington and its allies believe Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. Iran says its program is intended for producing electricity. Obama has vowed to keep Iran from crossing the line to nuclear-armed status, but insists there is still time for diplomacy. But Israel is pressuring him to take military action sooner rather than later.
Obama will also have to deal with the civil war in Syria, Israel-Palestinian tensions, a chill in relations with Russia and a series of maritime disputes in Asia. The administration has long talked of making a "pivot" toward Asia after the US has directed much of its energy to the Middle East in the past decade.

Trees at Toomer's Corner poisoned
Updated: February 17, 2011, 10:37 AM ETESPN.com news services
AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn University says someone deliberately poisoned trees at Toomer's Corner, where fans have long celebrated big wins and hundreds gathered after the Tigers won the football national championship on Jan. 10.
The university said in a statement Wednesday that a herbicide commonly used to kill trees was applied "in lethal amounts" to the soil around the two trees, and that they likely can't be saved.
Auburn discovered the poisoning after taking soil samples on ...

Three area residents facing drunk-driving related charges
Three area residents will be in Huntsville court next month to face drunk-driving related charges.
The first incident happened last Thursday when Huntsville OPP officers were called to the Bickley Drive area to check on the licence status of a driver.
According to police, the driver exhibited signs that he had been drinking and the officers requested the driver provide a breath sample.
Subsequently, a 67-year-old Stisted man was charged with failing to provide a breath sample. He will appear in court on Dec. 12.
On Sunday at around 3 a.m., officers stopped a vehicle on Duncan Street to check on a possible impaired driver.
As a result of the investigation, police charged a 26-year-old Huntsville man with impaired driving and operating a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol level exceeding the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
The driver will appear in Huntsville court on Dec.5.
On that same day just before 5 p.m. Huntsville OPP received a complaint of someone driving erratically on Highway 60.
Police were able to locate the vehicle and charged a 50-year-old South River man with operating a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol level exceeding the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood and driving without a licence.
The accused will appear in Huntsville court on Dec. 19.
Police asking the public to be careful in accidentally calling 911
In the past few days, Huntsville Ontario Provincial Police officers have responded to 911 hang up calls 13 times.
In the 13 calls to 911 that were hang-ups, there was one legitimate call and one trouble with the line.
Police are required to respond to all 911 calls. The remainder 11 calls to the provincial communications centre require time spent by the call takers and the officers to check and ascertain the wellbeing of the callers.
Huntsville OPP would like to remind cell phone owners to take the extra time to lock their screens on their phones, and also remind parents to have their home phones and cell phones in a place where children are unable to easily reach.
Each 911 hang up call takes approximately 15 minutes per call from the time the call taker is able to determine where the call is from to the time the officer is dispatched. This ties up the 911 operator's time and the officer's time.

Perhaps the best thing to happen to Indian cricket under Virat Kohli during the Asia Cup will be for the stand-in skipper to have full faith in his bowlers. The Indian bowlers, of late, have come in for some sharp criticism from the regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has been rested for the tournament beginning on Tuesday.
Recently, after the ODI series loss in New Zealand, Dhoni even called upon his bowlers to use their brains. Now, the focus will be on the young bowling unit to come up with something better.
It is here that Kohli's captaincy will be put to test. And he knows it and admitted upon arrival in Dhaka on Sunday, "It gives me a chance to test where I stand and how well I can lead a pack of very young and exciting cricketers, who are going to shape up the Indian cricket team. It's a test for me personally; it will tell me where I stand as an international captain."
It is not the first time that the 25-year-old will be donning the captain's role. He has done it before, stepping in for an injured Dhoni during the tri-series in the West Indies last July followed by a five-match ODI series in Zimbabwe, where he led the team to 5-0 win.
Former India batsman WV Raman, who coached India Colts led by Kohli on the tour of South Africa prior to the successful campaign in the 2008 ICC Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia, said that Kohli the skipper should understand the temperament of his bowlers.
"He should have faith in his bowlers and make it obvious to them. If they see him exhibit any bit of disappointment, it is going to play on the bowlers' mind.
"It is crucial for him to be a bowlers captain. Traditionally, bowlers have been at the receiving end because most of the skippers have been batsmen's captains. The bowlers need the captains' confidence. Sometimes, they need kid-glove treatment to be at their best."
Raman added that the Delhi batsman is capable of handling the responsibility well.
"It is human nature that you want to win and show the results. But this is not necessarily about results but how he handles things in the team. If he allows to be distracted by thinking too far ahead, he will not do justice to the faith the selectors have placed on him. He should not allow the pressures of captaincy get the better of him and do something that he will not do otherwise. That will be tricky balance that he has to achieve."
Former all-rounder Sanjay Bangar is of the view that for the captain-in-waiting Kohli "Asia Cup will be a test of his character purely because he has captained the country against the weaker oppositions like the West Indies and Zimbabwe. In Asia Cup, the sub-continental teams will come harsh on him."
Raman added that Kohli should not think too far ahead. "Dhoni will continue to lead in the ODIs when he is fit. The best thing for Virat is not to be too desperate or ambitious," the former left-handed batsman from Tamil Nadu said. "Asia Cup will be a sort of experience to get a hang of it and also give the selectors a right opportunity to assess him as a captain."
Two of Kohli's 18 ODI centuries have come as India captain. He has led the country to seven wins from eight matches as captain previously. But Asia Cup is a different ball game. Like Bangar put it, "It is one thing to be just a player and another thing to get into the hot seat and think about 10 others on the field."
The Dhaka trip will give an idea if Kohli is ready to take mantle from Dhoni, whenever it happens.

Can you use 2 power adapters on this card?
I have a Seasonic S12 Energy+ 650 Watt, with 2, 6-pin PCI-E's and 52A total shared on 4, +12V rails.
IF i were to get the BFG GTX 280, could I get away with using both of those adapters; the 2, 6-pin PCI-E to 8-pin PCI-E, as well as the 2 molex to one PCI-E for the other connector? My total amps should be enough since I only have one HDD, 2x2GB DDR2, and a Q9450 on a P5Q motherboard. Too risky?
Re: Can you use 2 power adapters on this card?
It's possible yes... My BFG even had a single 6->8 pin, so I used that too, leaving one free 6-pin PCIe which I used on the card. I also tried 2 6-pin to 1 8pin and 2 4-pin to 1 6-pin, like you are trying to do. It starts up fine, though I had the overheating problem and had to return mine...
Re: Can you use 2 power adapters on this card?
I have that same PSU and I am planning on using it w/ the gtx280 (when the price comes down and/or my cash flow goes up and assuming nothing better shows up in the mean time). I bought a blank 8pin pcie conn from Performance PCs and I am planning on combining the wires (cut, splice, solder, repeat) from one of the 6-bin pcie with an un-used 4-pin MB conn to supply the 8 pin pcie. I will be, in the process, shortening both cables going to the vid card.
Your solution should work as well I would think. If possible, I would try to use molex conns from seperate PSU output bundles, not two from the same wires, just to limit the current per wire.
Re: Can you use 2 power adapters on this card?
Seems like I read somewhere that "nVidia" says these approaches are just not good long-term solutions. But I'm wondering, why not? If my power supply can get the power to the card, then what difference does it make? As long as i use molex's from separate rails, and I believe by design, my 2 PCI-E's are on separate rails, then there should be no problems.
I probably wouldn't want to bother if I can't do this long-term.
Re: Can you use 2 power adapters on this card?
a single 6-pin to 8-pin adapter is not a good idea, there is a reason why they put 8-pin on the card.
Re: Can you use 2 power adapters on this card?
But back on my question, I also can't see why my solution should cause any problems. If those adapters are designed to supply the right amount/sufficient power, then they should work long-term. I'm confident my Seasonic would be up to the task. The only issue is where the adapters would introduce problems themselves.
Re: Can you use 2 power adapters on this card?
I think the safest approach is 1x6 pin connector and use 2x6 pin to 8 pin adapter. So single GTX280 will require 3x6Pin or 1xPin + 1x8Pin.
Re: Can you use 2 power adapters on this card?
I'm just wondering why this is? I have 4, 12+V rails with 52A total. I can use 2 rails on one jack, and 2 rails on the other. Where's the problem if there is one?
Re: Can you use 2 power adapters on this card?
To be honest with you it all depends on PSU. My single 6pin cable can push 170W on my Rosewill 850W so i would be safe with 6 to 8 pin solution but since i will have extra 6 pin cables i will go with 1x6pin and 2x6pin to 8pin adapter to balance out the power.
My uncle got same PSU you have and he is running ATI 2900XT. It requires 1x6pin and 1x8pin cable and he has only 2x6pin cables. He runs one of 6pin cables through adapter to 8Pin. Heck he can even overclock that card and never had any stability issues.

Midwest governors group sets greenhouse gas goals
By AP
MINNEAPOLIS – MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - New recommendations by Midwestern governors for a carbon cap-and-trade system include aggressive reduction goals that could bring big changes to a region that relies heavily on coal and manufacturing.
The plan calls for a nearly 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade, and an 80 percent reduction by the middle of the century. That's from year 2005 levels.
The biggest polluters could get allowances to emit carbon and other greenhouse gases for a modest fee to help ease the cost of the transition to both industry and consumers.
The recommendations come after the governors of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin - along with the premier of Manitoba - agreed to establish reduction targets.

Vicky Chen | February 11, 2009 | Comments
A major shift in racial and ethnic demographics provides an opportunity for behavioral marketing to play an increasingly important role in advertising.
"The Atlantic" published an interesting article, "The End of White America?" that stated: "The end of white America is a cultural and demographic inevitability...[The U.S. is] approaching a profound demographic tipping point."
The August 2008 report by the U.S. Census Bureau projects that groups currently categorized as racial minorities -- blacks, Hispanics, East Asians, and South Asians -- will account for a majority of the U.S. population by the year 2042. For Americans under the age of 18, this shift is projected to take place even earlier, by 2023.
Fascinating, no? These demographic statistics imply that the composition of the general market, as we currently understand it, is rapidly changing. As of right now, the general market and corresponding mainstream culture is still predominantly a white culture. As the U.S. Census Bureau report suggests, that won't be the case for long. Our nation's mainstream culture is in process of being remade in the image of America's multiethnic, multicolored composition (and if the recent election of President Barack Obama isn't a telling sign, I don't know what is). As a result of demographic shifts, we can expect to see changes in social attitudes and behaviors on- and offline that will provide opportunities for behavioral marketing to gain prominence.
Evidence of the Shift
In the article, Hua Hsu writes that on the most physical/visible level, there's an observable movement "within advertising, marketing, and communications firms to reimagine the profile of the typical American consumer." An active effort is being made right now to reduce the gap between the general market and the smaller ethnic markets as advertisers revise assumptions and strategies in anticipation of demographic shifts.
The article points to Apple's iPod campaigns as a perfect example of a strategy shift. Instead of using real human faces that can easily be labeled with racial or ethnic characteristics, Apple used dancing silhouettes, which showcased individuality and diversity without representing any particular demographic segment.
A Greater Need for Behavioral Targeting
Behavioral targeting can help bridge the gap between the general and more niche, ethnic markets since its emphasis is on tracking and identifying behavioral patterns of Web surfers regardless of racial or ethic backgrounds. This isn't to say that a consumer's racial or ethnic background should not be taken into consideration when targeting online; it absolutely should. However, race or ethnicity is rarely a standalone segmenting factor. Use of behavioral methodologies, then, makes it a more culturally adaptive tactic in the digital space. Think about fan groups and causes on social platforms such as Facebook and MySpace. People are uniting online in unprecedented ways and belonging to the same segment that marketers wouldn't have predicted in an offline situation. For members of groups and causes, it no longer matters who you are ethnically or age-wise. As long as you share the same interests and passions as other people in the group, you can collectively be viewed as one segment. As social structures change, race becomes just one of a seemingly infinite number of possible self-identifications. As one marketer insightfully told "The Atlantic," "You'll have crazy in-depth studies of the white consumer or the Latino consumer. But how do skaters feel? How do hip-hoppers feel?"
Behavioral marketing will help bridge the markets since there's more focus placed on targeting lifestyles and interests over basic racial and geographic demographics. This addresses the fact that the modern consumers have much more flexible identities that may or may not overlap with their racial identities.
Additional Opportunities for Behavioral
A shift in racial and ethnic demographics also means additional opportunities for behavioral marketing to play an increasingly important role in advertising. As cultures blend, new subcultures will be created. And that means the emergence of new verticals and more opportunities for niche marketing. Thus, the use of behavioral goes beyond helping drive more traffic to a particular site or providing Web surfers with the right message at the right time. There is great opportunity to employ behavioral targeting tactics to help brands identify and reach out to new niche markets based on consumer interests and their online behavioral patterns. Marketers who are able to identify new trends and cultures will have an advantage in recruiting new consumer segments. In today's competitive advertising space, the sooner you can find and cater to niche segments' needs, the more successful you will become. Early bird gets the worm, remember?
The U.S. consumer demographics landscape is changing. Behaviors and social attitudes are shifting along with it, and marketers must recognize such shifts to best grasp who their audience is and how to best communicate with them. As ClickZ Experts columnist Jason Burby points out, even the smallest changes in segmentation tactic and messaging can improve site conversions. As the racial demographics of consumers become more mixed and multicultural, there will be a greater need for behavioral marketing. Using behavioral targeting as opportunities to identify new niche markets shouldn't be overlooked.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
(License #114332) This large, contemporary studio apartment just south of the river is urban living at its best. This newly-constructed home away maintains an exterior old world flagstone charm, but with modern amenities. The property is canopied by 100-year-old Live Oak trees, native stone walkways and is surrounded by mature gardens. The vaulted ceiling and natural light lend a feeling of spaciousness to the studio. South-facing french doors lead down to a large private patio curtained by bamboo. The apartment is located on the NE corner of the charming Travis Heights neighborhood.
The kitchen with new appliances is stocked with utensils, cookware and coffee ware that would make any aficionado zippy. The apartment is well furnished with a rich mix of contemporary furniture and Chinese and Tibetan antiques. A beautiful 9x14 antique Persian rug makes every step feel warm. Only high-end natural fibers are provided for bedding and bath needs. The full bath and custom-shelved walk-in closet make this the perfect spot for any individual or couple who wants to wind down after a day of play or work in the city.
A 37' HDTV with plenty of HD cable channels and high-speed wireless Internet access are included to keep you connected.
This vacation rental is located behind the owner's home; it sits atop the detached garage at the back of the property. You will walk through a shared patio and garden to reach the rental. You may see us, but maintain your privacy. The entire property is gated and the apartment has its own alarm system if you choose to use it.
From the studio you can take a leisurely stroll through one of Austin's oldest neighborhoods to the shops, restaurants and people watching along South Congress, aka SoCo. Or you can easily hit the hike and bike trail, go downtown to the 2nd, 4th and 6th Street districts, the Austin Convention Center and other hot spots around town. All of these are about a mile from the apartment.
If you're coming to Austin for a short stay on your own or as a couple, this place is ideal for you. It's not big like many vrbos. It's affordable, beautiful, clean, cozy, convenient and comfortable. A $5 cab or $1.50 bus ride gets you downtown quickly. You're also less than a $20 cab ride and 15 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport if you don't feel like renting a car.
A guest of ours says, 'The Riverside Gem was a perfect retreat!' on his blog Good Beer Trips (goodbeertrips-com). Look for his summary under Austin Part 1 and read his tips on another reason why Austin is such a great city to visit.
Still not convinced it's the place for you? Call for more information. We're happy to help you figure out Austin.
Keywords: Studio Apartment
Hi! We're Amy and Todd. We know there are people that have been doing the vacation rental thing much longer than us. We've been hosts for a few years, but our first time as guests was in 1996 in San Francisco. Fast-forward a decade and Zam! we're building our own. Meeting all the Austin-destined travelers is one of the best aspects of doing this. Whether you stay with us or not, Austin is a great part of Texas and we're happy to help you make the most of it.
The Owner purchased this studio in 2000
Our house and the rental apartment could only be closer to downtown Austin if it were a condo. Our house in Travis Heights is one of the originals. It was built in the '30s. The original garage apartment was built in 1940. A few years ago we tore it down other than the stone wall foundation and started building this rental apartment. It's now complete and pretty darn cool.
Convenience to all of Austin's attractions makes this vacation or corporate rental worth looking into. There's a great private patio in the back. The apartment is ideal for one or two people. The couch does fold down if needed. Unlike many listings, our place was built and designed with short-term rentals in mind. A coffee maker and French press are available, as well as a choice of teas.
Amy and Todd were absolutely wonderful and their apartment was perfect! The location is great (easy access to I-35 and about a 30 minute walk to the South Congress area).
Amy and Todd were easy to work with throughout the reservation process, and they were extremely accommodating throughout the stay. The apartment was better than the pictures showed and the little touches were fantastic.
This is the only place that I would want to stay in Austin and I look forward to another stay in the future. Great job Amy and Todd!
This property has easy access to 35 without the interstate noise. It is tucked away and feels like home. Owners are very easy to work with and accommodating. We will re-book when in Austin.
We stayed here for a week while in town for the Ironman 70.3 event as well as just some general visiting of old friends. This place is great. The open layout makes it feel plenty big. The bed is extremely comfortable, the best we've encountered so far. You have easy access to the highways if you need. You can also easily walk to "SoCo" and check out all the amazing restaurants that are there now. The food at South Congress Cafe is great, just an FYI. Downtown and the hike and bike trail are within reach by foot as well. Fully stocked with anything you might need. The coffee maker was perfect for our early morning race day.
Highly recommended and we'll look for it on our next visit!
This airy & spacious Travis Heights guesthouse is a well provisioned, comfortable home away from home that is filled with natural light. Owners Amy & Todd are delightful, informative, and easy to work with. We stayed 5 days for ACL2012, and can't wait to return. We especially enjoyed the private back patio for morning coffee, or a glass of wine in the evening. This is our 5th home away in Austin, and by far the friendliest, most comfortable, and most convenient. Thanks!
We just loved it! It's beautifully designed and right in the coolest neighborhood. We would walk around at night just to look at the beautiful architechture.
The apartment was squeaky clean, comfortable, private, spacious, secure and well-supplied - I loved the excellent whole coffee beans! The family was warm and inviting and made us feel right at home even though we were only there for a short stay. It was interesting seeing the renovation photo book and hearing the story about how it was converted from an old decrepit garage into a modern garage apt. It is *exactly* centrally located and convenient to everything in Austin south, north, east or west, with very easy access to all the major roadways (and easy biking distance to the Town Lake / Zilker Park area). We were a little worried about the location being so close to I-35 (noise, traffic) but it was quiet and serene up there in our little apartment on the hill. We left to stay with old friends in Austin or we would've stayed longer at Riverside Gem! Also, Amy and Todd were great to deal with, friendly and accommodating and we learned a few things from them (we are fairly new VRBO owners).
Town Lake Trail for walking and running is just across the street. You can do a little or a lot. The full loop around Lady Bird Lake is about 10 miles.

This year Hanukkah and Thanksgiving overlap, the first time in nearly 100 years that this has occurred (and it won't happen again until 2070!). Bring the two holidays together with these tasty sweet potato butternut squash latkes. In our home, latkes fly off the plate faster than we can make them, so we recommend doubling up on this recipe.

Hugh Wright
Hugh Raymond Wright (born 24 August 1938) is an English schoolmaster and educationalist who was chairman of the Headmasters' Conference for 1995–1996.
Early life[edit]
The son of the Rev. Raymond Blayney Wright and his wife Alice Mary Hawksworth, Wright was educated at Kingswood School, Bath, from 1949 to 1957[1] and The Queen's College, Oxford, where he was a Bible Clerk and graduated BA and later MA in Literae Humaniores.[2]
His first post was as an assistant master at Brentwood School, from 1961 to 1964. From 1964 to 1979, he taught at Cheltenham College, where he was Head of Classics from 1967 to 1972 and housemaster of Boyne House, 1971 to 1979. His first appointment as a headmaster came at Stockport Grammar School, from 1979, and in 1985 he became head of Gresham's School, Holt, remaining there until 1991. Finally he was Chief Master of King Edward's School, Birmingham, from 1991 to 1998.[2][3]
He was elected Chairman of the Headmasters' Conference in 1995, a year before it became the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference, having previously chaired its North West District from 1983 and its Community Service Sub-Committee from 1985 to 1990.[2]
In Birmingham in the mid-1990s, Wright worked with Tim Brighouse, the city's chief education officer, to develop a partnership between King Edward's and the state sector of education, commenting "We are looking at a new era of public-private co-operation reinforcing the community base. We are talking about one-off initiatives, not grandiose schemes". He chaired a group called the 'Children's University', providing Saturday schools, and a summer literacy scheme for eleven-year-olds was held at King Edward's in 1997.[2][4]
Other appointments[edit]
- Admiralty Interview Board Panel, 1982–95[2]
- Church of England Advisory Board of Ministry (formerly Advisory Council for the Church's Ministry), 1982–[2]
- Chairman of National Steering Committee for Children's University, 1995–2001[2]
- Member of Bloxham Project Committee, 1993–1998, and Trustee, 1998–2006[2]
- Chairman of Governors, Kingswood School, Bath, 1998–2006 (and governor, 1995–1998)[2][3]
- Member of Governing Bodies Association Committee, 2000–03[2]
- Member of Chaplaincy Team, Shepton Mallet Prison, 2001–[2]
- The Origins of Christianity and the Medieval Church (1980)[2]
- Auden and Gresham's in Conference Common Room, Vol. 44, No. 2, Summer 2007[5]
Private life[edit]
In 1962, Wright married Jillian Mary McIldowie Meiklejohn, and they have three sons.[2]
He is a member of the East India Club and gives his recreations in Who's Who as "music, theatre, hill walking, wildfowl, gardening, Rugby football".[2]

Strawberry Shortcuts
Some movies are more difficult than others; Wild Strawberries -- as well as just about any Ingmar Bergman flick -- definitely qualifies. And though this complex film, in which an elderly widower re-evaluates his life through a series of hitchhiker encounters, ends well, it's also a kind of unfolding psychoanalysis that's obviously deeper than its plot. It's no wonder that people sometimes need a little help understanding it. That's the point of the Boedecker Theater's How to Watch a Film series, which combines screenings with facilitated talk-backs to help you figure out what you might have initially missed. In a time when the ability to stream movies is constantly at our finger-tips, this is a rare opportunity.
"We have to offer our audiences something that gives more depth to the film experience," Boedecker manager Glenn Webb says. "People enjoy a chance to interact with the films, so instead of organizing another series around one director or actor in the new year, we thought we'd give people a basic starter course in film literacy."
Tonight, see Wild Strawberries as you've never seen it before at the Boe, located at the Dairy Center for the Arts, 2590 Walnut Street in Boulder; film historian and media consultant Cynthia Stevens will offer the insights. Films slated to get the treatment later in January include Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married next Sunday and Werner Herzog's Into the Abyss on January 29; all presentations are at 7 p.m. Admission ranges from $7 to $10; for more information, visit http://thedairy.org or call 303-440-7826.
Wed., Jan. 4, 7 p.m.; Sundays, 7 p.m. Starts: Jan. 4. Continues through Jan. 29, 2012

Life beyond gaming
By Echelon730 1 Comments
For a person to blog on a gaming website about stuff than gaming is a little odd but I think that something in this world should be noted beyond what happens on consoles
Lets start off with some good news.
Outside of a random shooting at the olympics, they seem to be going pretty damn good. China is bring the countries rich culture to the world and showing off that is now world power in just about everything. While most americans are a little scared of the fact that china is getting so much power in such a short amount of time I think that this is the ego threat that this country need to motivate us into strive to keep out economic status. The Olympics are more than just a commercial event or evening a sporting event. It an event that allows viewers to get a deeper insight into other cultures. I think that it is important to a degree to keep an eye on the events surrounding the olympics for that reason alone.
Now for the bad news.
It might come as shock that there is a full on war in the world. No I am not talking about the shit that is going on in Iraq because that is not officially a war. I am talking about millions of innocent people in Georgia and Russia that in the line of fire between their waring militaries. While I am going to admit I haven't been keeping up on this event I think that its important to note because Russia is a country that isn't the most stable, but has a large stable of nuclear arms. Should this war grow something that world has never seen before come to life. This is the first official war (to my knowledge) that has happened between to standing militaries since the Korean War back in the 1950's. We are living in an age where human creativity mixes with human stupidity, and the end result could be worse than anyone could imagine.
With all this happening I would encourage gamers of all type to put down the controller for a little bit and learn about the world. Sure we all know that gaming is great and is a great form of escapism, but that fact means that we are escaping for serious issues that can have long standing impacts on the world. Since most gamers are in their teens to twenties, it is important to let your voice be known, since we are the generation in line to control the world. Its up to us to make sure that no shit hits the fan under our watch

Gamers rejoice! Cerebral Gardens, a software development studio specializing in iOS and Mac apps, is launching the "first game for Apple TV" through the App Store. It's called Party Doodles, and it's a multiplayer, interactive party drawing and guessing game game you'll certainly be busting out at your next gathering. Dave Wood, the founder and president of Cerebral Gardens, calls Party Doodles the first game ever designed specifically for the Apple TV, and it's certainly about time. And when integrated with AirPlay, it really represents the next generation of gaming.
Fans of Apple TV have long loved how the hardware integrates with the Apple iOS and all of their additional audio/visual accessories. But Apple has never been known to rest on their laurels. On the heels of the upcoming iOS 6 release, Apple TV will give users new and improved ways to integrate wireless speaker systems.
That's right, folks! No longer do we have to stream Netflix movies or mirror our Angry Birds from the iPhone to our Apple TV in that ridiculous 2D! It is time to go 3D! What's that, you hate 3D glasses? That's okay. With Stream TV we are going glasses-free 3D! According to a story from the great team at Macworld, Stream TV Networks, who develop glasses-free 3D technology for TV sets, announced that they are enabling Apple TV users to beam Apple TV content or the content from our other iOS devices to the 3D TVs using the company's Ultra-D autostereoscopic technology.
Windows version of AirParrot, an app that streams your computer's screen to your Apple TV 2 or Apple TV 3 over AirPlay, has been released a few weeks ago but if you haven't grabbed your own copy yet, here is a chance to get it for free.
"The mythical Apple television set that everyone talks about is already here," said Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Brightcove, in an interview with The Verge. Brightcove, a provider of cloud content services, has just unveiled the App Cloud Dual-Screen Solution for Apple TV. The new solution enables media publishers to develop apps for the iPhone and iPad that simultaneously control content, data and information presented on an HDTV while displaying synchronized content on the iPad or iPhone.
Great news for all Remote HD fans – the plugin is back on the Apple TV 2. Remote HD has been updated for 5.0.x compatibility and it's now available in the Manage Extras menu via aTV Flash (black). For those who don't have aTV Flash (black) installed, the plugin should be soon available to download from Remote HD website. Before the installation, you may want to check FireCore forums, as users report that there are some issues with the updated Remote HD plugin.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The following stocks go ex-dividend Tuesday, meaning an investor must purchase the shares Monday to qualify for the next dividend payment: Adtran (ADTN - Get Report), Aptargroup (ATR - Get Report), H.B. Fuller (FUL - Get Report) and Government Properties Income Trust (GOV - Get Report).
Each of the stocks received a buy rating from TheStreet Ratings.
The networking equipment maker reported on April 10 first-quarter earnings of $13 million, or 20 cents a share, down from year-earlier earnings of $34.3 million, or 52 cents."We view ADTN as an indirect play on global network traffic on wired and wireless networks," ThinkEquity analysts wrote in an April 16 report. "Our $31 price target is based on 15.1x our updated FY13 EPS estimate of $2.05. We find the stock fairly valued in the low-to-mid $30s and would see support in the high $20s or 10x our new CY13E plus $8.00 in net cash." Forward Annual Dividend Yield: 1.2% Rated "B (Buy)" by TheStreet Ratings: The company's first-quarter gross profit margin decreased from the previous year. Adtran is very liquid. Its Quick Ratio is 3.93, which shows the company can meet its short-term cash needs. In the first quarter, stockholders' net worth increased 11.15% from the prior year. TheStreet Ratings' price target is $35.40.

Fusion Salon and Spa with Mica Popovich
Having returned to the mainland from Hawaii, stylist Mica Popovich didn't travel light. His head was—and still is—brimming with techniques and ideas instilled from his professional training. Like many of the team members at Fusion Salon and Spa, he learned his craft under masters at places such as Vidal Sassoon and Bumble and bumble, practicing the creation of both classic and innovative cuts.
Fusion channels his and others' talents into highly personalized services. Trims, blow-dries, and conditioning treatments refresh 'dos, whereas color and highlights enliven locks with new shades. To fashion straighter hair, the staff administers Brazilian blowouts and Japanese permanent straightening procedures, which flatten frizz more practically than strictly avoiding the use of all electricity. Airbrush tanning, skincare, and mani-pedis complete comprehensive makeovers. Unlike the vibe at many high-end salons, Fusion's atmosphere is hardly competitive. Instead, it's welcoming, thanks to the supportive artists, all of whom encourage one another to develop lasting relationships with their clients.
94% of 16 customers recommend
"Very friendly salon and Mica gave me a great hair cut and style."

Quality sample management is a well-known challenge for life science investigators. As the pharmaceutical industry and forensics industry demand an ever-growing number of usable, well-maintained biospecimen collections, so increases the need for completely automated biobanks to store these samples properly.
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) program, which ended in 2009, experienced one of the most notable examples of genetic sample degradation associated with poor storage standards. This $50 million study suffered a major setback in the early phases when nearly 99% of the samples it received from various biobanks were substandard. This led to major reforms in quality standards for biobanking organizations, led by the Office of Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research (OBBR), which published its first sample storage guidelines in 2006.1
Constantly freezing and thawing samples can adversely affect quality: A door held open on a manual freezer for even a short period can result in a significant temperature increase. Data gathered by Hamilton Storage Technologies (Franklin, MA) showed that the temperature of samples kept in 300 μL REMP™ tubes (Brooks Life Science Systems, Manchester, U.K.) with 40 μL Fisher 10× TBS pH 7.4 buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), when taken from –80°C storage to ambient conditions, increases by an average of up to 21.5 °C/min.
Freezer doors are sometimes held open for more than a minute, and this can occur countless times over the lifetime of a sample stored and retrieved manually. Accumulated temperature elevations above this level are believed to damage the integrity of many biospecimen types.2
One result of the new OBBR guidelines was the emergence of automated biobanks. These systems are designed to minimize manual handling and keep internal temperatures constant by using robotic handling equipment to receive and retrieve samples.
Many biobanks store hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of samples for extended periods of time. The Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI), for example, must maintain crime scene samples for up to 80 years. To achieve this level of storage stability, Hamilton designed the BiOS system, which is the only biobanking solution to keep samples in –80 °C environments throughout the entire storage and picking process (see Figures 1 and 2).
Thousands of precious research samples have been lost over the years after thawing due to system and human error. Having storage system software that provides a full audit trail for each sample is as important to sample quality as temperature controls.
Biobanking system software can record who handles the sample and for how long, and any temperature changes the sample may experience while in the system. In addition, these automated systems must have sophisticated backup capabilities in case of failures.
Given the high level of care required for adequate sample storage, it is not surprising that an increasing number of studies are inaccurate or greatly compromised by poor sample quality. Automated storage systems and integrated robotics help ensure sample integrity and speed progress in genetics analysis.
Facilities making upgrade choices need to consider the current security and safeguards of their sample procurement process. If sample quality is lost, so may be hundreds of thousands of dollars of precious study information.
Martin Frey, Ph.D., is head of the Storage Technology Market Segment at Hamilton Bonaduz. Dr. Frey has been with Hamilton Company since 2009 and is currently the acting product manager for the BiOS automated sample storage system; www.hamiltoncompany.com.
