Mac mini as a media center? Advice?
Out of nowhere today I had the brilliant idea that instead of putting movies on my USB drive and plugging it into my ps3, I could buy a mac mini and attach a nice 3tb HDD and store a massive collection of movies and shows. Since airdrop, it would be easy to manipulate and populate my media library. I would connect it to my 60 inch TV with HDMI and probably download software like XMBC. Anyone with any experience? ideas? setups? I would really appreciate any kind of criticism and feedback. I don't know if it will get used enough to justify the 800 or so dollars i would probably spend on gear but it would be awesome to sit down and have a huge collection of movies on call. Another issue i worry about is fan noise from the mac mini and hard drive. Post away.

yeah i run that setup.
mini with a external drive, for back ups and media.
Use apple tv, well a couple of apple tv's.
works well and i need to get into it i just screen share from my rmpb.

I use Plex on my mini and stream the stored media to my iPad using the Plex iPad app. Works across the house or the country (if you have the bandwidth). No need to buy a new mini as just about any mini made in the last few years will do HD with ease. Fan noise is not an issue unless you are constantly encoding videos... and even then its not an issue.
|Oct 20, 2012, 09:31 PM
Any mini model since 2010 has HDMI.

Using the Mini as media centre is overkill. It is like putting a sexy blonde in a monastery. A new mini is a friggin PRO workstation!
Please grab a 50$ mediaplayer.....

You mention using AirDrop to put content onto the Mac mini... why not just Screen Share to use the Mac mini as the downloader?
I'm waiting on a refresh because I'm looking at setting up a media center/home server Mac mini. My plan is to set up my Mac mini with PLEX or XBMC and either use mouse/keyboard or remote login to download content. Depending on the source of my stuff, I can also set up auto-downloads. If things are automated, not only does it save time of transferring media but I could also stream it to the Apple TV and Roku that I have in the house.
Air Drop would probably be slower than using USB and plugging it into your PS3.

I bought a Mac Mini back in 2007? I think, just to be an iTunes music server. We use the included remote to choose songs while having drinks. I have it hooked up to a Yamaha Adventage receiver and it sounds great.
For movies, I have an Oppo Blu-Ray player that streams from Vudu, Netflix, etc.

The HTPC I have runs on an AMD Fusion platform. It cost me about £200 to put it together. It has enough oomph to playback any media I have thrown at it. It does make a little bit too much noise for my liking though. And that is only because it has a cheap PSU. You could probably get something as quiet as the Mac Mini now and as powerful for about £250. The Zotac Zbox is something to look at. Avoid any based on Celeron, Atom or VIA CPUs.
My main desktop PC is an iMac. I can manage everything from there. XBMC is more flexible when it comes to organising media. Plex is simpler to setup but for me gives less control.
I use my HTPC a LOT. It really is fantastic. I think the Mac Mini is great for this use but something like the ZBox will cost half as much and do the job just as well.
1. Buy a Mac Mini and stick Plex on it for something that looks great. Is effectively silent and really easy to setup.
2. Buy a ZBox or similar and stick XBMC on it for something that will playback everything you can think of. Is also effectively silent and incredibly customisable. It will take a little bit more tinkering to get it setup exactly how you like. Still really easy though.
Using either will be far more flexible than using any sort of media streamer. Media streamers can be slow. Play less media. Are less customisable. I have used them and wouldn't use one as long as I could afford a proper HTPC.

And I have too many videos to want to want to go through all the XBMC or Plex stuff. I like to have the Mac desktop so I can see all the drives and go right to the file I want to play. It may not be as "pretty" user interface wise, but it's a lot faster finding files.
But, for now I use my iMac to watch videos anyway. I haven't had a TV in close to 8 years. I may buy a big screen TV this year. If I do I'll buy a Mac-Mini to feed it video.
As always, YMMV.

In the beginning I bought a USB converter cable so I was ripping to "bare" IDE ATA drives. Then I bought a couple NexStar dual drive USB units since all the 2 TB drives are sata. I have one 2 drive "box" with two 2 TB drives connected now but those are each drives I back up data from my iMac. I have data files going back to about 1988 and an old 1400C PowerBook (and an 8500 which runs OS 9 running OS 9 which I can open old OS 9 files with (I still can run MacWrite, MacPaint, SuperPaint, the old Claris programs and *lots* of old OS 9 programs including games and stuff) on and I have a lot of data on 2 TB drives double backed up so in reality I have a lot more than 24 TB of drive space when you include drives with data files.
I've been ripping DVDs for a lot of years. BTW I'm in my 60's and lived through the VHS era, so I copied all my old VHS tapes to video files and gave my old VHS tapes to friends some years back. I started copying/ripping DVDs to 300MB drives. Then when prices came down I switched to 1 TB drives which I copied the 300 MB drives to and "filed" the 300's in the closet. Then when prices came down I switched to 2 TB drives and copied the 1 TB drives to and "filed them in the closet and sold the 300 MB drives I had (18 at the time, if I remember correctly). I have a bunch of 2 TB drives (20 or so) in the closet. Then I bought three OWC Firewire 800 Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 "Enterprise" 12 TB drives and set them up for RAID 5 with parity (which leaves about 8 TB per enclosure) and copied all the 2 TB drives to them and put the old 2 TB drives in the closet. This way I have 3 Firewire 800 (the 3 Mercury drives) drives with media (and 3 other drives with data backups and a Firewire 800 which I dedicated to TimeMachine on my iMac) all connected to my iMac and since all my computers are on my home/office LAN I can get on any computer in the house and *all* my media is right there by logging into my "main" iMac.
If it's not a DVD (in which case the built-in DVD player program is fine for me) I use VLC because (among a few other reasons) I also have an old EyeTV (the last one before they went to HDMI so I can use to record via component video so no DRM issues). So - I've got .mpg files, .mov files, .mp4 files, .avi files, DIVX files, .flv files, etc. VLC plays anything and the remote on my iPhone and iPad work very well. My plan is to buy a Mac-Mini and a 55" TV (probably January 2013) after I buy a new iMac. I have Plex and XBMC on my iMac and have used them, but they're too slow and it's too hard (takes too much time) to navigate to the files I want. VLC is also nice because I can quick and easy drag files from different drives into a Playlist. I'm sure Plex and XBMC have their place, but just aren't what I want. As always, YMMV.
The 3 Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 drives I have now are all sorta set up like a library. I have directories for genres and such, and each drive has specific genres and such. I keep my files pretty well organized.
I'm just an old, retired Mac freak. These days I keep some internet web sites up so I have computer equipment everywhere (PC's and Macs). As you can see, I've been registered here for a while but rarely posted (i.e.: I'm not a "regular" here). I've been waiting for the new iMacs (I have a 2008) to come out so I've been hanging around here waiting for rumors prior to the 23rd. My fingers are crossed that they'll really announce new 27" iMacs.
I'd link to some pictures but I don't really know what the link policy is here so I won't (but you can Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo/whatever for my user name here - It's one of my web sites).
EDIT ADD: My GF likes VLC, too. She can watch videos on a PC I have set up in another room while I am working on my iMac or if I want to watch something different. She's hoping I get a new iMac soon so I can put the PC somewhere else and put my 2008 iMac there because she prefers Mac over PC and she can't play DVDs on the PC which are on my iMac drives. There may be a way that it can be done, but I haven't found a way (and aren't really worried about that). And like me she likes to browse the files in the finder rather than navigate through stuff using Plex or XBMC.

Elsmar - you would be amazed at how quick either Plex or XBMC are to get setup.
Plex particularly is incredibly quick to get setup.
I think you would be surprised as well at how quick they are to navigate. They will also track what you have watched. You can also search for movies in your collection by genre or actor. It can be handy for example after watching a film with one actor to search for something else they are in.

Now - If my GF wasn't "computer literate", or if I was younger and had a wife and/or kids, I fully agree Plex or XBMC would be the way to go.
If I get a Mac-Mini and a TV (I've been seriously thinking about doing that in January next year) I'm sure I'll put both Plex and XBMC on it, but my bet is I'll just grab the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse out and bring the desktop up on the TV and go from there.
I also might be "anti" Plex and XBMC because I'm on a 2008 iMac. Both the Mac-Mini and the iMac are going to be upgraded (or so the rumor goes, and is why I'm hanging out in this forum so much right now as I drool awaiting the 23rd) and will flame the 2008 with regard to speed. If so, some of my negative experiences with Plex and XBMC may be negated.

I copied all my movie collection (using Handbrake) to my mac mini. It's the server, and it's in my basement.
I have 3 apple tvs throughout the house which play this content. Nothing was bought through iTunes at all, although technically, these movies are inside iTunes.
When we rent movies through RedBox, I copy them to my mac mini server, and they are immediately available through my Apple TV. So much more convenient than using ths DVD and being forced to watch previews or FBI warnings and such. My wife actually won't watch a DVD anymore, and only wants to see it through Apple TV.
|Oct 21, 2012, 08:32 PM
I didn't know you could rip DVDs to Apple TV and play them. Thanks for the "heads up". I'll have to look more closely at Apple TV. Cheap but last time I really had a look it was pretty limited in what it could play.
|Oct 21, 2012, 08:34 PM
I know someone that uses a mini that way, works fine.

|Oct 21, 2012, 08:36 PM
What formats will the Apple TV play? Or is it that you use a Mac-Mini to "feed" the Apple TV box? And do you have to rip a CD and then transcode it into iTunes (mp4 I assume)?

|Oct 22, 2012, 12:21 AM
the main point is "do you want your Mini to running 24/7"
if not
get a NAS and use that as the main Media library, you can then access the NAS with whatever device you are using at that time.

Soot falling from sprayed basement ceiling
I had my basement ceiling (unfinished wood trusses, joists, etc.) sprayed flat black a month ago. We are still getting a fine layer of black soot on the surfaces after vacuuming and wiping down everything. Where is it coming from and how do I stop it.
People walking on the above floor might be loosening up the over spray dust. You might want to get a compressor and air spray it all down.

The more experiences a child has, the more connections its brain cells will make. Many glial cells support and maintain these circuits, which almost triple the size of the brain in the first three years of a baby's life. Children who don't play or are rarely cuddled have underdeveloped brains. These children have the same number of brain cells, but fewer connections between them.

What you need to know:
Forgetting for a moment how the
defense didn't wake up against Utah until it was too late, 2008
was a special season against the run and this season the
defensive front should be even better. Terrance Cody should be a
starting anchor in the NFL right now, while linebackers Rolando
McClain and Dont'a Hightower will soon be there. The front three
in the 3-4 is huge with tackle-sized players at each spot, and
that includes the backups, while the fantastic linebacking
corps, a major strength after being a concern going into last
year, will clean everything up. The secondary is functional and
will put up nice overall stats, but the better passing teams
should be able to move the ball considering the front seven
doesn't generate much pressure.
Tackles: Rolando McClain, 95
Sacks: Brandon Deaderick, 4
Interceptions: Justin Woodall, 4
Star of the defense: Senior DT Terrence Cody
Player who has to step up and become a star: Senior DE
Lorenzo Washington
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore S Robby Green
Best pro prospect: Cody
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Cody, 2) LB Rolando
McClain, 3) LB Dont'a Hightower
Strength of the defense: Run Defense, Young Prospects
Weakness of the defense: Pass Rush, Good Passing Teams
Projected Starters:
Senior Terrence Cody
should be in the NFL right now, and he could be a top 20 pick next year
if he gets in better shape. "Mount Cody" is on his way getting down from
380 pounds to around 365 and he should be a sure-thing All-America
performer if he can stay healthy. Last year's superstar JUCO transfer is
a rock of a tackle and is a true anchor on the nose, finishing his first
year with 34 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss. It's not about stats for
Cody; it's about being impossible to run around him. He's the main
reason the run defense is so strong.
Able to work on either the nose or on the
end will be Lorenzo Washington, who made 13
tackles as a key reserve and spot starter. At 6-5 and 275
pounds, he's a quick tackle and a strong end in the 3-4, but
he's not a pass rusher generating just one sack and 2.5 tackles
for loss. His job will be to hold up against the run from a spot
on the end.Working at the other end will once again be
Brandon Deaderick, a 6-4, 287-pound force who
came up with 36 tackles, four sacks, and 5.5 tackles for loss.
Surprisingly quick for his size, he's a big, tough pass rusher
with tremendous strength to matchup well with most tackles. He'd
be a good tackle in a 4-3, but he's perfect for the Bama system
and will be counted on to be the team's steadiest end. It has
taken three years, but now he might finally grow into a star.
Projected Top Reserves:
Sophomore Josh Chapman is one of
the team's biggest linemen at 6-1 and 305 pounds and able to
step in behind Cody on the nose and as a second tackle if the D
goes into a 4-3. He's ridiculously strong with enough experience
to step in and produce whenever needed after making 16 tackles
and four tackles for loss. 6-3, 299-pound junior
Luther Davis is an end working behind Deaderick after
making 12 tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss. A top recruit a few
years ago, he has yet to come close to live up to his hype and
potential, but he's been caught up a bit in the depth chart
traffic. He has the ability be a run stopper in the rotation,
but he's not a pass rusher. Marcell Dareus
is a 6-3, 280-pound emerging talent on the end coming
off a get-the-feet-wet true freshman season making four tackles.
Extremely quick for his size, he should eventually become a pass
rusher with more work. He's not a speed rusher by any means, but
he has a nice combination of skills working behind Washington.
Watch Out For ... Dareus. Small for this line, he
has a bit more quickness than the rest of the big tackles spread
across the front. He's not going to be a starter, but he could
be the type of situation pass rusher who can make a big play
happen here and there.
Strength: Size and run stuffing ability. Bama has
three tackles playing across the front and no one will be able
to consistently run on this group. Not only are the starters
big, but there are big bodies all across the depth chart with
plenty of size to be infused to keep everyone fresh.
Weakness: Pass rushers. There isn't anyone who
can consistently get to the quarterback, meaning the outside
linebackers have to get into the backfield or else quarterbacks
will get plenty of free time to work.
Outlook: The 3-4 worked and it should be a brick
wall against the run again. There won't be much in the way of
pressure generated, but holding up against anyone with a ground
game won't be a problem. This is a big, physical line that
should beat up most offensive fronts. Outside of Cody, this
won't be a great group of talents, but it'll be tremendously
Rating: 8
Projected Starters:
A steadying force in the linebacking
corps in the beginning of last year, 6-4, 249-pound junior
Rolondo McClain turned out to be a special all-star
leading the team with 95 tackles with three sacks and 12 tackles
for loss in the middle. Very tough, very fast, and one of the
team's surest tacklers, he has started to live up to his immense
prep hype and now should be on the short list all All-America
linebackers. Not only is he tough against the run, and with
great range, but he's solid when the ball is in the air with
eight broken up passes.Dont'a Hightower
was a superstar recruit last year and he turned out to live up
to all the hype. At 6-4 and 250 pounds he has decent size, and
he was great at getting all over the field making 64 tackles
with 2.5 tackles for loss. A tremendous hitter who always seemed
to come up with the key stop, he should be an all-star for the
next few years working on the weakside. Now he needs to start
doing more in pass coverage and use his speed to get into the
backfield on a more regular basis.
Senior Cory
Reamer is a former safety who works at the strongside
position, doing a little of everything on the outside. With
excellent range, he can play either outside position and has
grown into a good defender after starting out his career as a
star special teamer. At 6-4 and 218 pounds he's not huge, but
he's a good tackler with 35 stops last year with a sack and six
tackles for loss.Senior Brandon Fanney
turned into a major playmaker as the team's third leading
tackler at the Jack position making 66 tackles with a sack and
nine tackles for loss. At 6-4 and 257 pounds, he has good size
and the burst to be a more dangerous pass rusher. Now he has to
get back into everyone's good graces after being suspended this
Projected Top Reserves: Sophomore Courtney
Upshaw had a nice true freshman season making 22
tackles as a special teams star and a strong backup linebacker.
Good at the Jack position, he'll combine with Eryk Anders and
Brandon Fanney in the rotation, but at 6-2 and 230 pounds he's
big enough to play anywhere in the corps. A monster hitter,
he'll make several highlight pops.6-2, 227-pound
Eryk Anders was mostly been a special teamer, but he
was a key reserve last season at the Jack position and has the
potential to be a dangerous pass rusher. The veteran made 24
tackles with 2.5 sacks with 4.5 tackles for loss with six
quarterback hurries, and now he'll be turned loose into the
backfield using his quickness and his experience to be a
reliable defender.6-3, 215-pound sophomore
Jerrell Harris was a star recruit last year, considered
to be one of the top five linebacker prospects in the nation,
and he saw a little time in his true freshman season making
three tackles on special teams. While he's built more like a
safety, he's a guided missile of a hitter who made 275 tackles
in his final two years of high school. Now he'll work behind
Reamer on the strongside.
Watch Out For ... Hightower to take another step
forward and become the star to build around for the next few
years. This is still going to be McClain's linebacking corps,
but Hightower has the upside and ability to be considered a
sure-thing next-level prospect after this year.
Strength: Tacklers. This is a good-sized corps
with athleticism and big hitting ability. McClain, Hightower and
Fanney don't miss stops, while Reamer is tough enough to hold
his own against any running game.
Weakness: Pass defense. This group wasn't asked to do
too much against the pass, but that doesn't mean it can't start
to do more. It's the job of the foursome to hold up against the
run and occasionally get into the backfield, but if Hightower
and Reamer can be stronger against the pass, the corps will be
Outlook: There was a big concern here going into
last year with off-the-field issues, suspensions, and
graduations, but it turned out to be great. Now the star
freshmen brought aboard last year appear to be ready to take on
bigger roles, while McClain is a special talent to work around.
This group is deep, big, and extremely talented.

Defensive Backs
Projected Starters:
It's asking too much of anyone
to step in and replace the production and the huge plays from
Rashad Johnson at safety. Sophomore Robby Green,
however, has looked good enough to come close. The 6-0,
175-pound former cornerback saw time as a true freshman in
nickel packages and on special teams making six tackles. He's
going to make some mistakes here and there, but he's smart, has
great range, and he should be one of the team's leaders in
interceptions.Returning at the other safety spot will be
Justin Woodall after making 47 tackles with
four interceptions at strong safety. Great against the run, the
6-2, 220-pound senior is built more like a small linebacker and
has the speed to be all over the field against the pass. While
he's a good enough baseball player to get a look from the New
York Mets, he's a football player who should shine in his senior
year now that he knows what he's doing.Senior
Javier Arenas is a great cornerback, making 63 tackles
with two sacks and an interception, but he's a better return man
who has a future at the next level as both a kick and punt
returner. As a corner, he's a peerless tackler who plays bigger
than his 5-9, 198-pound size with phenomenal quickness. He could
stand to make more big plays against the pass, but he won't get
pushed around by the bigger receivers and he has few problems
staying with the speedy ones. He can be left on an island
without a problem.Junior Kareem Jackson
is back at the other corner spot with a ton of experience and
the ability to lock down on any
receiver. At 5-11 and 192 pounds he has decent size to go along
with good speed. An excellent tackler, he made 44 stops last
year and was second on the team with ten broken up passes. While
he's not an all-star and he's not going to get the publicity of
Arenas, he's a sound defender who won't get tested all that
Projected Top Reserves:
It's not a stretch to call Dre
Kirkpatrick the team's best defensive back before he
sets foot on the field. The superstar recruit is 6-3,
185-pounds, and isn't afraid to provide a big pop on his
tackles. He's also fast ... next-level, combine-star fast. While
he has the size to play either safety spot, he's most likely
going to start out in nickel and dime packages before moving to
corner.Sophomore Mark Barron will be in
the hunt to take over Rashad Johnson's vacated safety spot, but
he'll more likely end up working behind Woodall. A good special
teamer, Barron got a little time in the secondary finishing with
18 tackles on the year. At 6-2 and 215 pounds he has good size
and the potential to grow into an all-star over the next few
Senior Marquis Johnson was
terrific on pure passing downs stepping in as a fifth defensive
back finishing with 49 tackles with two interceptions and five
broken up passes. He'll be the team's third corner in the
rotation working behind Jackson, but he'll be on the field
enough to come up with another productive season. He has bulked
up to get to 5-11 and 192 pounds but hasn't lost any quickness.
Former running back Ali Sharrief will be in
the safety rotation after combing up with good year making 31
tackles with five broken up passes. The 5-9, 205-pound senior is
able to get into the backfield and shines in dime packages where
he can use his speed and range in the open. He's one of the
team's fastest players.
Watch Out For ... Kirkpatrick. While he's making
sure he's ready to go in the classroom with some offseason work,
he should be ready to go on the field this fall. He's going to
be fantastic from the start and the coaching staff will use him
in a variety of ways if he doesn't take over a starting corner
Strength: Experience and options. Johnson might
be gone, but the Tide is loaded with veterans and enough good
reserves to form a good rotation. Finding the right combination
of players shouldn't be a problem for nickel and dime packages.
Weakness: Teams that can throw the ball. This has been
the issues for the last few years. The numbers look great, but
it's not like the SEC West was the Big 12 South when it came to
pitching it around. Matthew Stafford and Georgia threw well in
the second half comeback mode on the secondary, while Brian
Johnson and Utah picked the Tide secondary clean. The DBs had
the Florida receivers covered, but Tim Tebow made plays. This is
a good secondary, but it could be exposed from time to time.
Outlook: For the second year in a row, the numbers
will be better than the secondary. Kirkpatrick is a phenomenal
talent, but he's a true freshman. Overall, though, this is a
slightly-better-than-serviceable collection of defensive backs
that will miss Johnson's big play ability. However, if
Kirkpatrick is the real deal from day one, and if Green is as
good as he was this offseason, the secondary will have some
great building blocks to work around for the next few years.

Special Teams
Projected Starters:
Senior Leigh Tiffin followed up
a nice sophomore season by hitting 20-of-29 field goals including two of
his three attempts from beyond 50 yards. He has missed a few too many
makeable kicks over the last two years, and was inconsistent from beyond
40 yards, but he's good enough to be used on any attempt 55 yards and
in. The punting game was more than fine with senior P.J.
Fitzgerald improving after struggling two years ago. After
averaging 38.2 yards per kick in 2007, he averaged 41.1 yards per try
putting 15 inside the 20 and forcing 16 fair catches. He's not an elite
kicker, but he's good enough to not be a concern.CB
Javier Arenas is one of the nation's elite all-around kick
returners. He averaged an impressive 15.9 yards per try on punt returns,
with three touchdowns, and averaged 22.9 yards per kickoff return.
Everyone will do whatever possible to stay away from him.
Watch Out For ... Arenas to have a hard time
getting his hands on the ball for punt returns. SEC coaches aren't dumb.
They'll take their hits by punting out of bounds more often than not
rather than give Arenas many chances to get his hands on the ball as a
punt returner.
Strength: Arenas. He's a weapon who can score
whenever he has the ball. If nothing else, he'll help the field position
battle in a big way.
Weakness: Kickoff returns. Arenas is fantastic, but he
was bottled up, for the most part, last year averaging "only" 22.9 yards
per try. No one else stepped up when he didn't get the ball as Bama
averaged 19.6 yards per return.
Outlook: The special teams are solid with all the
key parts coming back. The kickers need to be more consistent, but
they're good and they're experienced, while Arenas is going to be

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Ideal only for the junior-high classroom, Holly Mosher's dull-as-dishwater doc fudges the line between socially progressive message-spreading and suspicious hagiography in its celebration of Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus, winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. Working to alleviate poverty, the septuagenarian Yunus and his pioneering work for Grameen Bank established the idea of modern "micro-credit," or small loans for impoverished borrowers (usually women) with little credit history or collateral. Boasting an unbelievable rate of return in the high 90th percentile, Grameen empowers budding entrepreneurs and lends to one out of every thousand people on the planet, which ain't no thrill ride in cinematic form. Framing the slices-of-life moments between the rural lender and his thankful new debtors are Yunus's talking-head pontifications and on-screen quotes—along with Mosher's superfluous commentary, as earnest as a Sally Struthers infomercial. Mosher egregiously buries her lead by quickly referencing in the final five minutes that the 2010 Danish film Caught in Micro Debt accused Yunus of bloodsucking and that the Bangladeshi finance minister has since pushed Yunus out of his own bank. Not only would further addressing this controversy have made a stronger, more relevant case, but the film also wouldn't be so painfully inert.

Harbor Bridge work waits on new study
Painting job to resume sometime this summer
CORPUS CHRISTI - A recent state inspection of the Harbor Bridge found no structural problems, but engineers are taking a second look at the 50-year-old bridge before the painting job that started five years ago will resume.
The new study will identify any spots where reinforcements could be added.
Whatever projects the study recommends will be done at the same time as the painting.
The Texas Department of Transportation expects painting to start in late summer instead of March now that it added the second study.
The first engineering study of the bridge began in 2008 to make sure no new problems developed since the last repairs in 2004. It found there weren't major problems.
But transportation officials want to make sure there's no more they need to do to fortify the bridge, transportation department spokesman Cliff Bost said. If there's a place on the bridge that needs reinforcement, it's easier to do it while also completing the paint job, Bost said.
"If we could improve this by adding a piece of steel, we want to," he said. "We just want to see if there's something we could be doing and add that onto the painting contract."
Bost said he didn't know how much it will cost to paint the bridge. It was billed at $2.3 million four years ago, but costs could have changed.
The painting job is the last piece of a 2004 project where workers replaced steel and 79,000 rivets and painted the bridge's underbelly.
That job ended before painting of the bridge's main span.
As workers removed the rust and paint from other parts of the bridge, the steel underneath was rougher than anticipated and workers needed more paint than expected. They ran out of supplies before getting to the main portion.
"It was going to cost everyone more to keep going (with the project)," Bost said. "We mutually agreed that we'd end the contract and start over."
The job then was postponed.
The rust spreading on the main span doesn't affect its structural integrity, Bost said.
The Harbor Bridge has a safety rating of 67 on a 100-point scale. A rating below 50 means that a bridge needs immediate repairs. A rating above 70 means a bridge is safe.
The bridge lost rating points mainly because of its low clearance, steep grade and lack of emergency lanes, Bost said.
"Is it going to fall down? No," Bost said. "It looks a whole lot worse than it is. We have already done a bunch of repairs. This is the last step."
Repair work on the bridge takes longer than other projects because the transportation department has to hire consultants to help plan work on steel bridges, Bost said. Almost all the engineers who are familiar with steel bridges are retired, he said.
The Harbor Bridge, opened in 1959, is set for eventual replacement. Planning for a new bridge stopped during a round of state budget cuts and the project wasn't picked up again, so planning for a new bridge is at a standstill.

=ting copy of mormon
Copy Sent Aug: 27 1841
J. L. Minor
July 19th (Free, crossed out)
Chester Co. Pa
To His Excellency
The Governor of
Without any previous introduction I take the
liberty of addressing a letter to you on a subject
which from the accounts in the papers must be
of some importance to your State. The Mormons
have been preaching through the State of
order to join their Standard, men who from their want
of education are capable of any act however bad. Those
individuals thus proselyted are taught that the State
guilty of an unpardonable sin & is their lawful
prey if they had strength to accomplish the object.
A tide of immigration of the worst characters out of every
State through their means is thus [ ] flowing into
proximity to you which judging from the trouble
you have already had with them will give you
yet greater unless something be done to check it.
The most effectual mode for preventing this gathering
of Mormons in my opinion would be an expose
of their conduct in every community in which they
make their appearance. And as they charge the
public press with falsehoods in relation to their
recent conduct the Statements thus made have done
little good. As they are doing all they can in this
neighborhood. And as I feel it a duty I owe my
fellow citizens to forward, their further progress. I
have thus taken the liberty of requesting a short account
of their Conduct from Your excellency, which will
do more in supporting this than all the newspaper
Statements that could be made. Should you think
it not beneath to you to Send any information in
relation to them, you will have the goodness to address
Dr. A.V.B. Orr.
I remain Sir, Your

National Instruments Introduces Industrial Touch Panel Computers Based on Intel® Atom(TM) Processor
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced a line of touch panel computers with an extended operating temperature range based on the 1.33 GHz Intel Atom processor. With Intel Atom processors, engineers can build high-performance human machine interfaces (HMIs) with a low-power, fanless device. The NI TPC-2206 and TPC-2212 feature a -20 to 60 degrees C operating temperature range for harsh industrial applications, 4 GB solid state drives for reliable operation in extended vibration environments and Windows Embedded OS for long-term deployment and support. They also feature 1 GB of RAM, two gigabit Ethernet ports and LED backlight technology to maintain screen brightness across the range of temperatures.
"The touch panel computers releasing today, combined with NI LabVIEW software, provide a rugged high-performance interface for monitoring and control applications," said Eric Starkloff, NI vice president of marketing for test and embedded.
The use of Intel Atom processors as the basis for these new touch panel computers facilitates not only their extended temperature range, but also their improved application performance.
"The new Intel Atom processors bring more intelligence than ever before to embedded connected devices such as touch panel HMI computers," said Staci Palmer, senior director of marketing for the Intel Low Power Embedded Processor Division. "Devices that integrate smart, connected services to monitor, sense, serve and control applications intelligently and interactively help our world operate more efficiently."
The new industrial touch panel computers work with a variety of hardware including NI CompactRIO, PXI, NI Smart Cameras, NI Embedded Vision Systems and other third-party industrial devices. Engineers can develop advanced and intuitive HMI applications with the LabVIEW graphical development environment, which they use to communicate with their hardware through standard communication methods such as TCP, OPC, USB, Modbus, Ethernet/IP and many more. LabVIEW provides easy network deployment, prebuilt template applications and navigation controls for building complex multiscreen interfaces. Engineers also gain programmatic control of advanced OS features such as Enhanced Write Filters and Hibernate Once/Resume Many (HORM).
Readers can learn more about the new touch panel computers by visiting www.ni.com/inteltouchpanel.

Major Problems
The undo command does not work properly. If you change a font and suddenly your whole document looks horrible and hit the undo command it removes the last thing you typed rather than undoes the font change.
There does not appear to be any manual for this program and the online help is remarkably useless. For example: I wanted to do a table of contents so I typled "Table of Contents" into the help search field. The help function then showed me where "Table of Contents" is listed in the "Insert" menu. But "Table of Contents" is grayed out and the help function gives no explaination why it is grayed out, how get it so it is not grayed out, or what will happen if it is not grayed out and you select it. Similarly there seems to be a way to list figures but there is no entry at all for "Figures" in the help function.

Pao de Acucar Declines as Controller Spat Spurs Rating Cut
June 1 (Bloomberg) -- Cia. Brasileira de Distribuicao Grupo Pao de Acucar, Brazil's biggest retailer, posted the steepest two-day drop in four months as a dispute between its controllers spurred Raymond James & Associates Inc. to cut its rating.
The stock fell 1.4 percent in Sao Paulo to 62.30 reais at the 4:15 p.m. New York time close. The two-session decline of 5.7 percent is the largest since Jan. 27.
Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA said yesterday it filed for international arbitration against the Diniz Group to make its partner meet the obligations of a November 2006 accord governing control of Pao de Acucar. The statement, which didn't elaborate, came after Casino learned that Pao de Acucar Chairman Abilio Diniz held talks with Carrefour SA on a possible deal, according to two people with knowledge of the talks, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private.
"As with any long-term relationship, when one party wants to materially change the arrangement, it can become an awkward situation and bring instability," Daniela Bretthauer, an analyst at Raymond James in Sao Paulo, wrote in a note to clients today. She cut Pao de Acucar to "outperform" from "strong buy."
Pao de Acucar should disclose any talks for a transaction with Carrefour, said Wagner Salaverry, who oversees 6.3 billion reais ($4 billion) including Pao de Acucar shares as partner at Geracao Futuro Corretora de Valores SA in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
"As it is now, it looks like a big shareholder, with a controlling stake, knows something about the company that nobody else does," Salaverry said in a telephone interview. "If Casino filed a request for arbitration, it's because they probably know that something's going on."
Diniz Statements
Pao de Acucar said yesterday it doesn't have any knowledge of talks with Carrefour. Diniz said in a separate statement that he didn't break the shareholders' agreement.
Today, Diniz asked the company's management to maintain "serenity" during "difficult" days. "I'm doing everything within my reach to protect you and the company from any attack," he said in a letter sent to Pao de Acucar's management and e-mailed to Bloomberg by the company.
Carrefour hired Lazard Ltd. to study a merger between its Brazilian unit and Pao de Acucar, Journal du Dimanche reported last month, without saying where it got the information. The Diniz family could take a stake in the French retailer as part of the operation, according to the newspaper.
Joint Control
Casino, which says it owns 33.7 percent of Pao de Acucar, has had joint control with the Diniz family since July 2005. Starting next year, Casino will have the right to appoint the chairman of Wilkes, the holding company for Pao de Acucar, and gain control of the retailer, according to Casino's 2010 registration document.
The Diniz family agreed in 2005 not to sell its shares in Wilkes until 2014. All major management decisions must be unanimously agreed upon, and Casino and Diniz each have the right of first refusal should the other wish to sell their shares after the lockup period, according to the pact.
Disagreements among the controlling shareholders are "bad news" for the company, Ricardo Boiati and Alan Cardoso, analysts at Banco Bradesco SA, wrote in a note to clients yesterday.
"This distress raises uncertainties regarding the company's outlook and could also impact operations if management is somehow affected and gets distracted," they said.

SACHEM Introduces Reveal Etch, Co-Authors Paper with SSEC on Advancements in TSV Silicon Etching at ECTC 2014
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 26 May 2014 Release date- 23052014 - SACHEM is announcing the release of Reveal Etch, a wet chemistry designed to enable a single-step silicon etch / TSV reveal process.
SACHEM and Solid State Equipment, LLC developed the process for this chemistry and optimized its use in a single-wafer processor.
SACHEM Associates Dr. Yongqiang Lu, Sian Collins, Dr. Kevin McLaughlin, and Dr. Craig Allen, in conjunction with SSEC Associates Laura B. Mauer, John Taddei, and Ramey Youssef, jointly issued a technical paper on a new wet process alternative to the polish / plasma etch TSV reveal process.
SSEC and SACHEM have worked on this new chemistry since early 2013. In February of 2014, the two companies produced a technical paper and are presenting their findings at IEEE Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC 2014) on Thursday, May 29th at 4:45 p.m.
SSEC set out to further optimize its process chemistries by working with SACHEM to develop a proprietary aqueous chemistry that contains no potassium and is residue free. Not only does this new chemistry address many issues limiting wet processing usage, but there are significant cost savings with the elimination of the extensive KOH residues clean step.
'The SACHEM Reveal Etch chemistry is a key component to our TSV Revealer configuration on the latest SSEC platform called WaferEtch,' stated Erwan Le Roy, Marketing Vice President of SSEC. 'After years of dedicated R&D for this 2.5D/3D application, we enabled the lowest cost-of-ownership equipment by integrating all the key components in one single tool-silicon thickness metrology for accurate end pointing determination, wet etch with a spin-etch chemistry to avoid using separate CMP equipment, a final etch with the Reveal Etch chemistry to uniformly expose the TSVs and wet cleaning.' 'SACHEM's developmental reveal etch chemistry combines our core capability in formulation, extensive knowledge of silicon etching and our high-purity expertise. Our solution optimizes etch rate and surface roughness,' stated Kevin McLaughlin, Global Electronic Materials Market Manager at SACHEM, Inc. 'We have taken a significant step forward in enabling the TSV process by combining our expertise with that of SSEC,' says McLaughlin.
The Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC) is the premier international event that brings together the best in packaging, components and microelectronic systems science, technology, and education in an environment of cooperation and technical exchange. ECTC is sponsored by the Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology (CPMT) Society of the IEEE.

"Through this program, we are supporting manufacturers in meeting rigorous international standards," said Dr. Patrick Lukulay, vice president of global health impact programs at USP and director of the PQM program. "The availability of quality-assured medicines has long been a challenge. For multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, which is a growing threat to public health, a critical need exists and we hope to help fill this gap."
The PQM program is interested in partnering with more manufacturers on this technical assistance. Through a series of workshops held in conjunction with WHO and GDF, PQM has been reaching out to manufacturers in regions of the world with a high burden of tuberculosis or where manufacturers are working to improve their manufacturing practices. Upcoming workshops will be held in Brazil, China, Ghana and Indonesia.
