Salvaging an old Avid Xpress DV Project
I have an old project, a feature length film shot in '03, which was cut in Avid DV Xpress on a PPC G5. The G5 is still running, running Tiger and works, but is extremely slow and there is clearly something wrong with the graphics card.
There were several disasters associated with this project including two huge LaCie drive failures which destroyed months and months of work. I have what remains of the .omf and .aiff project files that were able to be salvaged from the drive failures as well as a couple of extremely compressed .m2v mixdowns of the project and a good chunk of the corrected audio files. I, also, have access to the original DV tapes, assuming they haven't degraded to a non-usable state.
What I would like to do is create a better copy of the full project. Final Cut won't let me import the raw project files I do have, there is no complete This Is An Avid Project folder with files left after the drive melts and my memory is that .m2v was the best option for exportation from that version of Avid anyway. I have been able to look at some of the raw project files using Handbrake, of all things, and it seems to me that I do have at least most of the files comprising the rough edit, pre-mixdown and credits.
Do I have any options for making a few tweaks to this thing from the existing pre-mixdown files and exporting a better quality mixdown from my Mt. Lion Mac Mini Server? Is there any software (aside from Avid and Handbrake) which can work with these .OMF files? Is my best bet to try to get Avid Xpress DV up and running again despite the G5's issues? What about running it in a virtual machine on the Mini? Is there any way to just reencode the existing .m2v mixdowns so they look better? What would you do?
|Aug 6, 2014, 09:41 AM
Wow, that's a bummer.
The .omf files will most likely only work in AVID. Using handbreak, or any other application which converts the media will make it unable to be recognized by AVID without re-editing it into the project. You've already done the heavy lifting, you don't need to re-do all that work.
You can download a 30 day trial of AVID on a Newer computer and copy the the old project to the new machine. It should update the project from XPress Pro to AVID MC 8.0...
Then, you can batch import files which you've salvaged, and also batch digitize the DV tapes. The media should populate the sequence as it existed previously.... (10 year old DV tapes should still be good, provided they were stored properly.)
That's what I'd try first... it's simple and cheap. Playing with the files on the old computer and trying to get the AVID XPress Pro to work might in some way, corrupt the .bin files or the project file.
Hopefully some of this helps. Good luck!
|Aug 6, 2014, 12:01 PM
Yes. The above is the way to go. But. make a backup of EVERYTHING on the old computer. Make two copies and put one of them in some far away place on some other building. Make at least two backup copies before you start this project.
You said your project was damaged by drive failures. That should NEVER happen. Your project should be able to survive a house fire or theft of al the equipment. Even AFTER the fire there should still be two copies of your work.
|Aug 6, 2014, 01:10 PM
|Aug 6, 2014, 01:23 PM
Thank you. I'll give it a go.
Yeah, I can't even fathom going back in and recutting the whole thing (for a third time); we wound up with about 110 hours of raw footage.
But so much work went into this thing that it seems insane that I don't even have my own copy of the thing on disc. I gave away the ones I made.
And there are definitely spots that could use some color correction and a little audio sweetening. By the time I finally finished it, after the melts and a bunch of life altering personal **** that happened nearly simultaneously, I was just so over it and ready to move on to anything else that it didn't get the polish it deserved.

|Tuesday, October 9, 2012
From Wilson Post Staff Reports
A fire at Rutland Elementary School Thursday morning did not damage the school and was quickly extinguished according to Wilson County Director of Schools Mike Davis.
"It was a fire in the tool box of the contractor on the roof," Davis said.
The fire was reported around 6:30 a.m. and Wilson County Emergency Management Agency firefighters quickly extinguished the flames.
Davis said for the past few weeks, the system has had a contractor repairing a section of the roof that was damaged by hail. Davis said that repair is almost finished.

Fear of leaving my job.
fear of airline turbulence, homelessness.
I have found that overcoming fear of embarrassment and failure has gotten me far. I'd never have become a cartoonist and writer if I'd remained afraid of what people would think of me. On the other hand, all my other fears are rational, and I totally respect them.
Facebook? You have your own website right here, Brian.
Hi Brian,
I'm curious to know how people with power use fear for their own ends. Also, when people in power become fearful, how do they lash out at those perceived threats?

In the mid-11th century Ṣāʿid, a qāḍī of Toledo, composed a noteworthy handbook of the history of science that contained much information on technical subjects. Mathematical sciences received little attention, though Maslama al-Majrīṭī (died 1008), who probably took part in the translation of Ptolemy's Planispherium and made some contributions to pure mathematics, is particularly noteworthy. During the heyday of Granada, ʿAlī al-Qalaṣādī, commentator on Ibn al-Bannāʾ, did important work on fractions. Despite their lack of interest in the physical sciences, the Andalusians excelled in both theoretical and practical astronomy. A number of these scholars sought to simplify the astrolabe, and finally al-Zarqālī (Azarquiel; died 1100) achieved success by inventing the apparatus called the azafea (Arabic: al-ṣaf̣īḥa), which was widely used by navigators until the 16th century. Al-Zarqālī also anticipated Johannes Kepler by suggesting that the orbits of the planets are not circular but ovoid. The Arab mathematician Jābir ibn Aflaḥ (12th century) was also notable for his criticism of the Ptolemaic system.
Astrology was popular in Muslim Spain, and after 788 the Umayyad rulers retained an official astrologer in their courts. The most widely used astrological treatises were those of the Tunisian ʿAlī ibn Abi al-Rijāl and another, anonymous scientist, who made a translation from Vulgar Latin into Arabic in the 8th century. This book was translated from Arabic into Spanish during the era of Alfonso the Learned under the title of Libro de las Cruces ("Book of the Crosses").
The treatises on esoteric or occult subjects attribute to Maslama al-Majrītī two works on natural science that are not properly his but may be ascribed to one of his pupils. They are Ghāyat al-ḥakīm ("The Goals of the Scholar"; also known as Picatrix) and Rutbat al-ḥakīm ("The Step of the Scholar"). Greater interest is merited by the Materia medica, a revision of the Eastern Arabic text of the 1st-century Greek physician Pedanius Dioscorides ordered by al-Naṣir, on which Jews, Arabs, and Christians collaborated. Gradually the Andalusian Arabs kept adding new medicinal "simples"—which described the properties of various medicinal plants—to those described by Dioscorides, and the last eminent essayist on the subject, Ibn al-Bayṭār (died 1248), describes more than 1,400 of these. The Andalusians were familiar with the texts of the great Latin classics relating to natural science, and Ibn Wāfid, Ibn Baṣṣāl, and Ibn al-ʿAwwām (11th and 12th centuries) quote Varro, Virgil, and others. The most notable geographers in Muslim Spain were Abū ʿUbayd al-Bakrī (died 1094), who wrote the Kitāb al-masālik wa'l-mamālik ("Book of Highways and of Kingdoms"), and al-Idrīsī (died 1166), who was in the service of Roger II of Sicily and is the author of the leading universal geography composed by the Arabs. Somewhat later (1323) there appeared the first Arabic nautical map, possibly of Granadan origin. In technology, Muslim Spain was noted for its windmills and for its manufacture of paper. The Jews who lived in Muslim Spain had become culturally Arabized. They also pursued their own religious studies; the works of Moses Maimonides (1135–1204) are a good example of the cultural brilliance of the Andalusian Jews.
United Spain under the Catholic Monarchs
The union of Aragon and Castile
When Ferdinand II (1479–1516; also known as Ferdinand V of Castile from 1474) succeeded to the Crown of Aragon in 1479, the union of Aragon (roughly eastern Spain) and Castile (roughly western Spain) was finally achieved, and the Trastámara became the second most powerful monarchs in Europe, after the Valois of France. The different royal houses of the Iberian Peninsula had long sought a union of their crowns and had practiced intermarriage for generations. Nevertheless, the union of the Crowns of Castile and Aragon was far from inevitable in the last quarter of the 15th century. A union between Castile and Portugal was equally feasible, and it has been argued that it would have made more sense, for it would have allowed the two western Hispanic kingdoms to concentrate on overseas exploration and expansion, and it would not have involved Castile in Aragon's traditional rivalry with France. The reasons that led John II of Aragon to arrange the marriage of his son and heir, Ferdinand, with Isabella of Castile in 1469 were essentially tactical: he needed Castilian support against French aggression in the Pyrenees. In Castile an influential party of magnates, led by Alfonso Carillo, archbishop of Toledo (who later reversed himself), and opposed to King Henry IV, supported the succession claims of the princess Isabella, the king's half sister, against those of his daughter, Joan. They were anxious for the help and leadership of the Aragonese prince and content with the alliance of a country in which the magnates had such far-reaching privileges as the Aragonese nobility. It needed a forged papal dispensation for the marriage, the blackmailing of Henry IV into (wrongly) denying the paternity of his daughter (Joan), and, finally, several years of bitter civil war before Ferdinand and Isabella defeated Joan's Castilian supporters and her husband, Afonso V of Portugal.

Linux at Yorktown High School
Yorktown High School in Arlington, Virginia is composed of about 1500 students in grades 9-12. More than 80 of these students are enrolled in a computer science course, and all of them use Linux.
Until the 1997-98 school year began, these courses were taught using proprietary software from Microsoft, Borland and other vendors. Since then, Linux has grown steadily within the computer science department and throughout the rest of the school.
Computers are in every classroom at the school. The variety of machines ranges from Apple Macintoshes used by the newspaper, yearbook and English classes, to x86-class machines, a Sun workstation, and a PowerMac clone used by the computer science classes. Yorktown is connected to the Internet via a T1 line to the county Education Center. Internally, the school is networked via 10baseT Ethernet, with multiple drops (Ethernet ports) available in every room.
Three separate computer science classes are offered: Computer Science, Advanced Placement Computer Science and Advanced Topics.
Computer Science is taught by Jeff Elkner. This class uses Pentium-class machines, all running Linux Mandrake 6.1. Students are greeted with a graphical kdm login screen which allows them to click on their photo (taken with a digital camera at the beginning of the year) and enter their password to log in. Students may use any machine in the lab, because we have configured all the systems to use NIS and NFS. The machines are served by our shell server, named linus.
Until this year, students learned to program in C++ with the GNU C++ compiler (g++). This year, students begin with Python and move to C++ only after mastering the fundamentals of programming. This was partly inspired by the fact that Guido van Rossum, Python's creator, has agreed to visit the school and help these students as part of his Computer Programming for Everyone (CP4E) project.
AP Computer Science is also taught by Jeff Elkner. Students continue to learn C++, as well as take AP C++ classes provided by the College Board. This has been problem-free, with one small exception. Though the College Board's AP classes are platform-independent, they are not free software. Former student Paul Morie (email@example.com) and current student Jonah Cohen (firstname.lastname@example.com) collaborated to write a free replacement called pclasses. This software is available under the GPL and can be downloaded from the school's web site.
Advanced Topics students have no set course of study. At the beginning of each quarter, they outline a set of goals and must meet them before the beginning of the next term. Students usually work in small groups to accomplish their projects.
One project that has been very successful is the Python Resource Kit (http://yhslug.tux.org/python/). The kit is a downloadable ISO image, as it is meant for redistribution, but the school often burns copies for first-year students so that they can take them home and install Python on their Windows machines.
Another project that has made much progress so far is the Open Book Project (http://yhslug.tux.org/obp/). The project is an effort to create a freely redistributable textbook for computer science teachers. It is based on Allen Downey's How to Think Like a Computer Scientist book, and has been modified for Python and C++ instead of Java.
Because the county had difficulties in setting up an e-mail server to offer accounts to students and teachers, we have configured a mail server and given free e-mail accounts to students and teachers who have requested them. In addition to mail, Linux also powers the school's web server (http://yhspatriot.yorktown.arlington.k12.va.us/).
Another use of Linux at Yorktown is powering the Student Portfolio (http://yhslug.tux.org/~portfolio/cgi-bin/) database. Over the summer, Lex Bereznhy collaborated with me to write a Python-based database that allows students to plan their schedules, showcase their work and communicate with their teachers.
Another one of the school's successful projects is PyTicket (http://yhslug.tux.org/~pyticket/cgi-bin/). Teachers or anyone else in need of assistance can simply fill out a form and get a web-based "ticket". Students check these tickets every morning, and are dispatched to help teachers with their computer problems.
Using Linux has saved the county tens of thousands of dollars in software licenses, provided students with an opportunity to learn Linux/UNIX basics, and has given the school an opportunity to contribute to the free software community.
Finally, this article would not be complete without mention of the school's newest project. By the time you read this, the inaugural meeting of the Yorktown High School Linux Users Group (YHSLUG, http://yhslug.tux.org/) will have been held. Attendance of around 20 users is expected. Drop by if you are in the neighborhood!

Geekologie reader Logan Warren recently put a Starbucks gift card to good use by creating what might be the most expensive Starbucks drink ever at $23.60. The Trenta-sized drink contains a Java Chip Frappuccino, 16 shots of espresso, caramel flavoring, a shot of soy milk, banana and strawberry puree, protein powder, Matcha powder, vanilla beans, and drizzles of caramel and mocha.
The resulting drink, Warren said, was "tolerable, but not good." It contains a whopping 1400 mg of caffeine -- the amount contained in 7 to 14 regular cups of coffee. Would you ever try this bizarre Starbucks beverage?

Latest Ash Borer Stories
1 in 5 five trees along the Colorado Front Range are ash trees and will eventually succumb to emerald ash borer if left unprotected.

The emerald ash borer (Agrilus plantipenis), a recent insect immigrant to North America carried in with the wooden packing material of imported goods, is projected to cause over a billion dollars in damages annually over the next decade.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb.
The emerald ash borer (EAB), a relatively new invasive insect pest, has killed tens of millions of ash trees throughout the eastern United States since it was first detected in 2002 in Michigan and Canada.
As the emerald ash borer ravages North American ash trees, threatening the trees' very survival, a team of entomologists and engineers may have found a way to prevent the spread of the pests.

PHOTO CAPTION: Synanthedon tipuliformis (Photo taken by Keith Edkins) The Sesiidae (clearwing moths) are a family of the Lepidoptera in which the wings are transparent. Their bodies are generally striped with yellow, sometimes very brightly, and they have simple antennae. The general appearance is sufficiently similar to a wasp or hornet to make it likely that the moths gain a reduction in predation by Batesian mimicry. This enables them to be active in daylight. There are also moths...

For over two decades suicide has been the third leading cause of death for youth in the United States. Suicide is no respecter of persons, and it affects people of all religions, races, ages, and economic circumstances. Sadly, families are faced with this harsh reality too often. Dr. Kimberly Hale's extensive research in suicidal behaviors of youth during her PhD program and the loss of a dear loved one to suicide has prompted her to partner with her brother, Isaac Swindle, in an effort to establish a nonprofit agency to provide supports to at-risk youth and opportunities to build community awareness and family supports.
Approximately one year ago, the Johns family suffered a great loss in losing a son, Gabe, to suicide. In his honor, they have worked diligently in sharing their story and raising money to help youth that are struggling. In order to support families of this community, the Johns family is donating the proceeds raised through the Gearin' Up for Gabe Memorial 5K Run to assist Dr. Hale and Isaac in establishing the nonprofit.
They all believe that through a combined effort, we can help the youth of our community see HOPE in tomorrow.

Looking back at SDSU's 2009 recruiting class
Jacob Driver LB La Costa Canyon
Then: 6-2 210 2-star
Now: 6-2 220 JR
Plays primarily on special teams. Driver, a former San Diego Union-Tribune defensive player of the year, has struggled to break into the two-deep at the MLB position.
Osmond Nicholas WR Oceanside
Then: 6-3 192 2-star
Now: 6-3 210 JR
Missed 2012 with a leg injury. Saw limited action in 2011, did not see action in 2010, and redshirted as a true freshman. We haven't seen much from Nicholas and this fall will be his last chance to leave his mark on the program.
For a variety of reasons, these guys never quite made it onto the stat sheet at SDSU
Aarein Booker CB San Bernardino
6-0 185 2-star
Booker never even made it past his first fall camp. He left the team in the summer of 2009.
Brandon Chambers WR Mira Mesa
6-1 185 2-star
For academic reasons, Chambers ended up at Grossmont College.
Marven Jones WR Kearny
6-4 205 2-star
Jones redshirted in 2009, was disciplined by Hoke in the summer of 2010 for an undisclosed violation of team rules, and hasn't been heard of since.
Preston King CB Rancho Santa Margarita Tesoro
5-10 175 2-star
King returned punts and moonlighted as the Aztecs' wildcat QB in 2009 but had to quit football after his freshman year when doctors found that he had a heart condition. Thereafter became a student assistant for SDSU and helped to coach the freshman and scout team wide receivers.
Anthony Miller RB Dallas Carter
6-0 220 3-star
This big back never quite lived up to his billing. Miller started at running back on opening day in 2009, but was moved to fullback in 2010. Rocky Long gave him the option of moving to linebacker for the following season, but Miller asked for, and was granted, his release instead.
Colton Morrison QB El Camino
6-5 197 2-star
Morrison originally grayshirted with the Aztecs but eventually transferred after he couldn't break into the depth chart. He play three games as a freshman at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College in 2012.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Ed BrockThe phrase "Click It or Ticket" brought a look of puzzlement to New York state transplant Laura Johnson. "I just moved here," said Johnson, now a resident of Riverdale. But most Georgians have become well acquainted with the Click It or Ticket campaign that aims at enforcing the state's mandatory seatbelt laws and other traffic laws. And now they have a new phrase to learn, "One Hundred Days of Summer HEAT," the HEAT being Atlanta's multi-jurisdictional Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic police unit. "I guess I'm prepared. I wear my seatbelt all the time," Johnson said after learning what was in store for her. This installation of "Click It or Ticket" began on May 24 and will continue until June 6. As usual, county and municipal departments will be participating, using television and radio advertising along with increased patrols and road checks to look for seatbelt violators, speeders and other criminals on the road. Last year the national "Click It or Ticket" campaign increased seat belt usage by four percentage points to 79 percent, Forest Park Police Capt. Chris Matson said. "The only proven way to get significant increases in belt use among young people and ultimately save lives is through high visibility enforcement, including targeted and intense advertising to alert people to the enforcement," Matson said in a statement. "Teens and young adults are killed at far higher rates in crashes because they are caught in a lethal intersection of inexperience, risk taking and low safety belt use." The "Summer Heat" program will follow roughly the same format as "Click It." "But this is for a full 100 days," said Clayton County police Capt. Tom Israel, commander of the HEAT unit that includes agencies around the Atlanta area including Clayton and Henry. "Our main goal is to reduce the speeds on state roads, interstates and county roads." Sponsored by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, the "Summer HEAT" program will run in conjunction with two other enforcement campaigns, "Operation Zero Tolerance" around Independence Day and "Hands Across the Border" on the Labor Day holiday weekend. "Operation Zero Tolerance" focuses on catching drunk drivers and "Hands Across the Border" is a partnership with state patrols in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North and South Carolina and Tennessee. "On average, every week, 29 people die in motor vehicle crashes in Georgia," said GOHS Director Bob Dallas. "We know car crashes are not a natural cause of death. The crashes that kill, maim and injure thousands of Georgians each year are preventable and that's the goal of ?Summer HEAT.'" Programs like "Summer HEAT" and "Click It" are working, Henry County Police Capt. Ken Turner said. "I think they've proven that through the statistics," Turner said, indicating that there's been a 5 percent increase in usage since the programs began. Darryl Lee of Morrow has already seen a "Click It" road check this year, but he didn't have to pass through it. "I think it's good. I think the whole purpose is for them to try to save lives and make sure children are safe," Lee said. On the flip side, Lee said some people think it's just a money-making operation by the state. Turner said that's not the case and in fact most of the fees collected, one way or another, go to cover the cost of enforcing the laws.

A health plan that includes benefits for city employees' domestic partners and a full-scale renovation and addition to the first floor of city hall won the approval of the Columbia City Council on Monday night.
Amendments to the city health plan included several benefit changes, the most significant of which calls for making domestic partners — including those in same-sex relationships — eligible for benefits. The move makes Columbia one of four local governments in the state that offer coverage to same-sex domestic partners.
Margrace Buckler, the city's director of Human Resources, said the domestic partner benefits will go into effect Feb. 1, giving time for a period of enrollment and informational meetings "to educate them on the plan and tax implications."
"It's very important that we attract and retain good employees and anything that can be done to address the needs of the modern work force is probably a good idea," said Jim Windsor, chairman of the Employee Benefits Committee.
During the council discussion, Fifth Ward Councilwoman Laura Nauser talked about the importance of "fairness and respect at work." Nauser and Sixth Ward Councilwoman Barbara Hoppe voiced concern about the possibility of the benefit policy being misused.
The city's domestic partner contract for employees is modeled after the one used by BJC HealthCare for same-sex partners, Buckler said. Buckler said the contract outlines the consequences of falsifying the document, which include the possibility of losing your job.
Other changes in the medical care plan include an increase from $25 to $30 in the copay for specialist office visits and an increase from $25 to $35 in the copay for urgent care. Both copays are among changes that will save the city about $51,000.
The council also discussed updates to the Daniel Boone City Building, including the first-floor city hall project, which is the first of three phases of a $22 million renovation and expansion project. It will cost an estimated $869,603 and will include demolition of the city-owned Gates-Rader Building on Eighth Street. The city will begin soliciting bids for the project in January.
The first floor of the Boone Building will be home to the Utilities Customer Services and Treasury Management divisions of the Finance Department. The back of the building will have two drive-through payment lanes and a cashier window for walk-up utility customers.
The council also approved a design concept for a forged-steel sculpture and four paintings at the Wabash Station bus depot. Don Asbee is creating the sculpture in the outline of a Wabash Class F-7 808 locomotive, to be outside on the building's east side.
David Spear is creating four paintings — two depicting the city's old train station and two depicting the present-day bus depot — that will be hung over the ticket window. The art will illustrate Wabash Station's 96-year history.

Virgin Australia has partnered with Boeing and Australia's University of Queensland to conduct a lifecycle analysis of locally grown biofuel feedstocks algae, pongamia, and sugar as part of its intention to invest in a local bio-derived jet fuel project.
While Virgin has made the leap to tentatively commit to a single conversion process capable of producing biofuel from a range of feedstocks, it is now tackling the vexing question of which feedstocks to use from a sustainability and economic perspective.
"The issue with biofuels is economics. We need to get a better idea of what the economics of these fuels are. The price point is going to be important. So with this particular project they're looking at the whole cycle, from growing it to transporting it to aircraft, and how much it will cost," said David White, the sustainability and climate change manager for Virgin Australia.
He cautioned the analysis "doesn't mean we'll necessarily use the feedstocks but it will help us guide our decision".
The life cycle reports, which are due by the end of next year, will evaluate the feedstocks against a sustainability standard in development for the region. White said the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels' international standard "takes into account all of the relevant criteria but also things like child labour, which aren't necessarily relevant to Australia."
Local airlines, including Virgin Australia, will be able to give input to the committee developing the standard, which the Biofuels Association of Australia is heading up with representatives from all parts of the supply chain.
"People say a biofuel is sustainable. But do we really know it is? That's why we need this criteria," White said.
Of particular concern to White is the sustainability of sugar. While the aviation industry has called for biofuel feedstocks not to interfere with the food chain, Australia produces an excess amount of sugar crop. "Sugar is something that needs to pass the sustainability test. That's critical," he said.
Under the University of Queensland's study, sugar will be used to grow yeast yielding not alcohol but isoprenes, which can be "easily cracked into jet fuel", said Queensland Professor Peter Gresshoff.
Virgin and Boeing did not release funding figures but White said the Queensland government was providing funding "to a tune of a few million dollars". A report released last week on the potential for aviation biofuels in Australia found Queensland one of the most suitable regions to grow feedstocks. Queensland-based Mackay Sugar Limited is involved with the study, as is a local refiner.
This is another lifecycle analysis partnership for Boeing, who last month released a report with Yale University analysing jatropha's lifecycle in Brazil. Virgin Australia and Boeing are members of the Sustainable Aviation Fuels User Group.

Maya Moore leaving mark on Chinese basketball
It didn't take long for Moore to endear herself to her new team. Moore, the first woman basketball player to be signed by the Jordan brand, gave a pair of yellow and red sneakers to each of her teammates.
Then she started playing and the team only has lost once since. Moore introduced herself to the Chinese fans almost immediately with a 60-point performance in her third game, which just happened to be nationally televised.
"The game was against one of the army teams," Moore said. "They don't have a foreigner and they are very prideful. The first quarter I was in a zone feeling good. I hit seven 3's in the first quarter. It gave me a jump start on the 60."
Moore was hard-pressed to remember ever scoring close to that before. She had 48 in high school and 48 was her college best.
Connecticut and Olympic coach Geno Auriemma wasn't surprised by his former star's success.
"Maya is Maya," he said. "Her scoring that many points isn't a real shock. She can really do whatever she wants."
Basketball has been the easy part for Moore since coming over to China. Communicating with teammates has taken a little more work with up to four languages being spoken in team huddles.
"It's pretty comical," Moore said laughing. "I speak English, one of my teammates is Korean. That's two languages. Two of our coaches are Spanish - one is the Spanish national team head coach. The first couple days I was there my head was spinning."
On the court, there don't seem to be many communication issues. The team uses hand signals, numbers, and Moore said she learned some basic words to get through.
"I'm getting better, I know about 10 words so far, I'm learning new ones every day," she said.
Moore also has a personal assistant assigned by the team to help her with basics like grocery shopping and getting around.
"I think the success to your playing overseas really relies heavily on your translator and how well the team is able to help you adjust to them and being in a foreign country," said Catchings, who also has spent time playing in Korea. "It's definitely an adjustment. Your team and the organization becomes your family while you are over here."
Moore, who played in Spain last winter, also has had the benefit of having her mom with her. She came over in October and has spent most of the first two months in China, including Thanksgiving. The two have been put up in a "western-style" hotel for the four-month season.
"It's really been great having her around and she'll be here for Christmas," Moore said. "She's experiencing China herself."
Among the things Moore has learned to appreciate while being in China are some of the freedom she has in the U.S.
"It's kind of hard not having unrestricted Internet," she said. "There's certain things you can't view. Certain liberties you don't have. YouTube, Twitter, things like that. There are certain social medial sites. You're so used to having access to whatever we need. It's different that way."

WISE COUNTY There are new concerns about whether gas well drilling is contaminating drinking water in North Texas.
Tests reportedly show benzene in one family's well water in Wise County and they're not the only ones worried.
Larry Bisidas, a water well driller with 40 years' experience in Wise County, said his own water went bad when gas wells went in nearby. He thinks he knows why.
I had good water for 31 years, and when they set this thing in there, it messed up my well, two wells for me, my neighbor's well, Bisidas said.
Bisidas has a gas well outside his front door near Decatur, and a waste water injection well just down the road. He believes one or both fouled his well water, making it too salty to drink.
He wonders what else might be coming out of his taps. Every time they go put those chemicals down that well, my water goes to stinking so bad you can't stay in the house with it, Bisidas said.
Several miles north, near the town of Alvord, tests reportedly showed benzene in water wells not far from two gas wells.
Not only is that a possible health hazard for people and animals, but residents fear their property values will sink like a stone if they can no longer obtain safe water.
So Bisidas who drills wells for a living must now have a supply trucked in. Yeah, that's pretty bad for a well man, ain't it?
The Texas Railroad Commission says there haven't been a lot of water complaints, and very few confirmed cases where gas well drilling was to blame.

by Libby AnneAnd then I left for college. College had always been one of my parents' expectation for me, and I've never seen them as proud as they were at my homeschool graduation. With my parents' approval, I chose a secular college because I wanted to witness to others and make a difference in the world. I had been taught that I was to be a culture changer, shouldn't I start now? My parents approved of this choice because they believed I was ready.Of course, I believed my role was to be a wife and mother, but no one had appeared to seek my hand and my parents, both college educated themselves, had never shaken the idea that a college degree is important. I would graduate from college, … [Read more...]

Funding your retirement with investment income has traditionally been thought of as a very conservative way to manage savings. Unfortunately, today's low-interest-rate environment may make the goal of paying for retirement out of income alone unattainable for many people, and in any case it may not be as safe an approach as people think.
Circumstances today call for a more flexible approach to funding retirement. Here are five things you should know about trying to live off investment income.
1. Living off income is not as stable as it sounds
The notion is that if you only spend the income your savings and investments produce, you'll never tap into principal and thus you won't draw down your portfolio. Also, since it is the principal value that is subject to market fluctuations, relying on income from year to year should shelter you from the effects of those fluctuations. That's true, but the income component of a portfolio can be every bit as variable as the principal.
Consider this example: At the beginning of 1980, six-month CD rates were producing over $13,000 in annual income on a $100,000 investment. By the beginning of 2000, this was down to just over $6,000. Today, it would be less than $400. That's a drastic change in financial circumstances, without any fluctuation in principal.

A Temple basketball standout was one of 28 people arrested and charged as part of a 2-day Atlantic City prostitution sting conducted by the city's special investigation unit on Pacific Avenue.
Owls star Khalif Wyatt, who was celebrating his 21st birthday according to his Twitter feed, was arrested and charged with engaging in prostitution and resisting arrest. Wyatt, who turned 21 on Sunday and will be a senior this coming school year, is from Norristown.
Wyatt has a court date set for Friday in Atlantic City municipal court.
"We have just become aware of the charges and are still gathering information at this point," Larry Dougherty, Temple's senior associate athletic director, said in a statement Monday afternoon.

Perfect getaway!
Slice of Heaven!
Wonderful place to get a away and relax
Rick's Comfort Cabin did not disappoint in any way! What an experience driving up the hill to get to the cabin! The moment we opened the gate and drove in we fell in love with the 'concept' of the property. It is evident that this property has been a labor of love for Rick and his wife. The grounds and cabin are meticulously kept.
Rick is environmentally conscious and generous and easy to deal with, the view is terrific, and the seclusion unbeatable.
The second "bedroom" is a loft that's a little difficult to access but I don't know why you would need or want a second bedroom because the place is perfect for two and you wouldn't want anybody else with you. This is definitely a place we would recommend and would come back to.
Extreme peace
Far from Stress....Close to Comfort
All you have to do is show up and enjoy. Rick has provided every convenience.. in the kitchen (i.e. Pots, pans, dishwashing liquid, trash bags, glasses, plates & silverware, etc.) to shampoo & soap in the bathroom. And a BBQ grill on the patio.
Went visited Hill Country Pottery in Comfort and several wineries in the area this visit. Explored Fredericksburg & Luckenbach, only 20-30 minutes away. In the evening, we sat by the fire pit on the patio, stargazing and enjoying a bottle of wine from our wine trail excursion. Rick provides plenty of wood for the fire pit.
We are so glad to have found this perfect getaway. Thanks Rick for your hospitality and sharing your wonderful place!

While the décor suggests the islands, the food is mainly mainland, emphasizing the shish kebabs called souvlaki rather than the whole fish of Astorian Greeks. The "GTM mixed grill" ($28.95) is a spectacular deal; easily enough to feed three or four: a meat mesa thrusting upward in jumbled shades of gray and brown, composed of ground-beef bifteki, rubbery lamb gyro with mellow hints of sage, and lamb and pork souvlaki. Sometimes there are chicken tidbits too. If you want to cherry-pick the best, order the pork souvlaki separately (platter $13.95 platter, pita sandwich $6.50). Among appetizers, the meatballs called keftedes are engagingly light and herby, virtually indistinguishable from the buoyant zucchini balls called kolo-kithokeftedes ($5.95), a specialty of Crete.
The menu's memorable oddities come from the eastern mainland region of Thessaly, on the Aegean Sea, and reflect the region's Turkish culinary influence. Imam baldi is a legendary Anatolian recipe, a braise of eggplant slices surmounted by garlic, tomatoes, and a luxurious quantity of olive oil, the exorbitant cost of which supposedly led to the name, which translates as "the imam fainted." (Another story suggests he swooned from pleasure upon tasting it.) Here the dish has been repurposed as a domed casserole ($10.95), swimming in plain tomato sauce and sided with boxcars of feta.

Until recently, my favorite thing on the menu was another Turkish-leaning specialtypeinirli, a name derived from the Turkish word peynir, meaning cheese. The capacious dough canoe floated in, filled with molten kasseri cheese. "Is there cheese in the crust too?" Scooter asked, channeling Domino's. Back in Thessaly, peinirli often comes stuffed with french fries in addition to cheese, but the best version at I.G.T.M. featured a couple of runny fried eggs dumped on top of the cheese, making a miraculous gut bomb. Alas, by my second visit, all four peinirlis had been expunged from the menu. Pray to the oracles that they be brought back.
The garlic-laced potato dip skordalia also disappeared from the menu during the same era, which is OK, because it was way too bland. Better appetizing choices include a garlicky beetroot salad ($5.95), and wonderful fried calamari ($9.95), accompanied by an Italian-leaning tomato dipping sauce. Phyllo-bearing Greek desserts, with their intravenous drip of sticky honey, are eminently skippable as far as I'm concerned, but the homemade yogurt topped with walnuts and deluged with wildflower honey is one of the menu's must-haves ($4.95). I was still licking it off my lips as I exited the restaurant around 10 one evening, nodded to the street people and drug dealers outside, and sprinted up Newark Avenue toward Journal Square.

Djokovic Credits Federer Tactics
Dubai, U.A.E.
by ATP Staff|
Novak Djokovic credited Roger Federer's aggression and mental strength after surrendering a one-set lead in his semi-final defeat to the Swiss on Friday at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
After hitting 10 winners to claim the first set, Djokovic had appeared on course to level his FedEx ATP Head2Head series with Federer at 16-16, but was thwarted by the Swiss, who fought back for a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 win.
"He deserved to win," said Djokovic. "He played better in the second part of the match and was more aggressive and played all around the court really well. I dropped the opening game of the third set; it was quite a bad service game for me. I started making a lot of unforced errors in the second part of the second set and just wasn't managing to move as well. He felt that this is his opportunity, and he used it. That's why he's a big champion.
"It's like any other match against Roger," continued the Serb. "It's always tense. It always goes down the wire. Even though I was the better player and I felt I was in control for the first hour or so, it appears that it wasn't enough, because a few points can really decide the winner. That's what happened. He mentally felt more comfortable, was coming to the net. On the other side, I backed up, and that resulted with the loss."
Watch Match Highlights
Djokovic was playing just his second tournament of the year, following a quarter-final loss at the Australian Open last month (l. to Wawrinka). It is the first time since 2006 that he has been title-less on the ATP World Tour going into March.
"I didn't have many matches this year, and you could see that on the court," said Djokovic. "I still lack that consistency in my movement in the matches. Look, I lost to Roger. That's not a bad loss. I know I'm not fully satisfied with my game. I'm going to work on it and try to get better for the next one.
"I haven't repeated the success I have had in previous years. But look, it's normal in sport. You can't always expect to do well in certain tournaments. When you lose against a better player, you shake hands and that's it. You move on and try to take the best out of it."
