Recently, FinCEN released two Administrative Rulings, FIN-2012-R003 and FIN-2012-R004, that provide guidance on the application of Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations to certain types of businesses. In the first ruling, FinCEN analyzed a prepaid access arrangement where a bank exercises primary control over the arrangement, while a bank vendor distributes and sells the prepaid access (via prepaid cards). FinCEN determined that the vendor would not be required to register as a prepaid access provider. Still, the vendor may be a seller of prepaid access—who would be required to register—in certain listed circumstances. In the second ruling, FinCEN advised that companies that offer daily money management services may be subject to FinCEN's regulations implementing the BSA. The company that requested the ruling facilitated the payment of monthly expenses for its customers and managed customers' day-to-day finances. FinCEN concluded that the company was a "money transmitter" under FinCEN regulations because (i) the company disbursed company checks on its customers' behalf, (ii) the company was not engaged in core debt management services, and (iii) the disbursements were not ancillary to some other good or service.

Jamie Rivera composes hymn for soon-to-be-saint Pedro Calungsod
More News from Josephine Darang
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
In connection with the canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod on Oct. 21 in Rome, a small chapel in Barangay Cebu in San Isidro, Isabela, was recently blessed and dedicated by Bishop Joseph Nacua, OFM-Cap, of Ilagan.
The chapel was dedicated to the soon-to-be saint. It was donated by Alfredo Viray and his family. Bishop Nacua said it might be the first chapel to be dedicated to the future saint.
After the Mass, a shared "agape" was also tendered by barangay residents led by the barangay captain. During this time, donation papers were submitted to the bishop who thanked the family and all who helped in making the celebration an affair to remember.
On hand as co-celebrant was the parish priest of San Isidro, Fr. Darwin Mamauag. Barangay Cebu took its name from the number of Zebu bulls and cows that used to roam the area when it was still unpopulated in former times.
Said Bishop Nacua: "It is our hope that Saint Pedro Calungsod will bless and guide the people of Barangay Cebu, most especially the youth to live up to their baptism and evangelize the area by clean living and joyful cooperation with the grace of a loving God.
Song for Calungsod
Pop star Jamie Rivera sang "Kuya Pedro" for the first time on Sept. 28, feast of San Lorenzo Ruiz, during the closing of the National Laity Week at the University of Santo Tomas.
Rivera herself composed the song. Noel Espidina did the musical arrangement. Rivera said the song, which is available on Youtube, is inspired by the fact that the young martyr was a catechist who taught about the faith and is now like a "big brother" to Filipinos.
According to Rivera, the song's stanzas revolve around the different aspects of Calungsod's persona—as a follower of God, a friend and a brother.
The Ars Cantica Ensemble did backup vocals for the recording.
Martha's Vineyard feeding program
Martha's Vineyard, an organization of women in the service of the poor, marked its 28th anniversary on Sept. 5 with a thanksgiving Mass celebrated by Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle at Manila Polo Club.
The celebration also saw the launch of Martha's Vineyard new ministry in partnership with Caritas Manila, headed by Fr. Anton Pascual.
Martha's Vineyard is feeding 300 undernourished children in its new program. Every week, the members go to Baseco to assist in weighing the children to check on the improvement of their health.
Archbishop Tagle gave his blessings for the feeding program.
"The Holy Spirit impels us to be men and women of service to those who are neglected," he said. "Our mission comes from the Holy Spirit."
To be spiritually formed in pursuing charity work, the archbishop suggested constant prayer, meditation and regular examination of conscience.
Then, he asked, "Are we using our gifts in a spiritual way, to remember God all the time?"
Soroptimist project
"Project Malibay," livelihood skills training for women, is a joint project of Soroptimist International of Makati, Barangay 172 of Malibay and Marcela Marcelo Elementary School in Pasay City.
It is a Soroptimist International of the Americas-funded project supervised by Soroptimist Makati president Mimi Casanova Noble and project chair Imelda Vibar.
Soroptimist International is a worldwide service organization whose mission is to improve the lives of women.

Arizona high court: Ballot measure complied with rule
PHOENIX -- The state Supreme Court said parts of a proposal to transform Arizona's primary election system fit together as one proposal and didn't have to be kept off the November ballot.
The high court on Monday issued an opinion explaining why it allowed the proposed constitutional amendment to appear on the general election ballot
A trial judge had ruled that the proposal violated a constitutional standardthat limits constitutional amendments to one subject.
However, the justices said the proposal's provisions were related and complied with the constitutional requirement.
Voters rejected the initiative proposal in November.
It would have allowed voters to cast ballots for any primary election candidate regardless of party. Also, the top two finishers in a race would advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation.

Our family has experienced 4 different schools between our kids (7th grader and alumni 9th grader) & WNS is by far the best. We've been here for 9 years & it's been a wonderful sanctuary - academically creatively socially & emotionally. It strikes the perfect balance between progressive & traditional Progressive because they stay on top of research re how children learn & implement those practices in the classroom; traditional because they realize that kids need structure & scaffolding in order to be successful. But that is secondary to the nurturing vibe that pervades. Our kids (girl/boy) are so different yet WNS has brought out the gifts in each while addressing weaknesses w/ encouragement & compassion. WNS classrooms encourage individual expression; a hallmark of its arts program. Art/music teachers are wonderful & Desi Friedman is a gifted performing arts instructor who is supportive authentic & hilarious. But the overarching focus of WNS is to teach kids to be good people & to work with others to create something larger than themselves. We are so grateful to Brad Zacuto for curating such an incredible school & feel blessed to be part of this warm real community.

CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) - Carlsbad Caverns National Park has adopted the ban on drones.
Officials say anyone caught using model airplanes, quadcopters or other types of drones within the park's boundaries could face fines and possible jail time.
National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis directed all parks in June to take steps to prohibit the use of the increasingly popular aircraft that are often used to take photos and videos.
Southwest national parks like Canyonlands, Arches, Grand Canyon and Zion have recently put bans in place.

Those figure studies are beautiful. I also like your still life studies, but I feel like you're rushing them or giving up on them too soon. There are some symmetry/construction problems that should become obvious if you flip the canvas horizontally, and you're leaving a lot of jagged edges that could easily be cleaned up with a little patience. (The kettle's my favorite btw. I love the reflection on the side; very well done.)

Thanks Diedra. I know I'm quick to throw things to the side sometimes. I get bored by life drawings sometimes but I'm doing these studies specifically to gain a better understanding of lighting, color and contrast. I think especially with the glass bottle you can see that the construction could be stronger though. I'm trying not to lost the form in my sketches when I render and polish a piece. Baby steps right?

You've got some nice stuff. I especially like the figure drawings. In your paintings the main issue I see right now is too much blurryness. Not every edge needs to be sharp but too much softness hinders the readability.
I want to give some crits on your last painting but first I would like to know what exactly you're trying to convey with the image so I'm not just giving your crits based on my taste. So could you tell me some more about the idea behind the character?
Keep up the hard work!

Strong figure drawings and still lifes. With regard to the digital painting, one tip from none other than Craig Mullins is to take a painting as far as you can with opaque brushes: try to block in all the correct shapes and values opaquely, and then polish them with transparent glazes or however you prefer afterwards. I think this is one secret to good rendering, too; you establish all your colors and values precisely from the outset, and then you can adjust the edges with much more control than you'd otherwise be able to.
Just a thought. Work is looking good; keep grinding!

The kids and I really had a great time during our 1 night stay.
The pool area was very nice and the rooms were clean.
The hotel staff were exceptionally wonderful!
We wished the pool opened earlier than noon.
The location was great. Check in easy. 12:00 check out time fantastic. Bed soft and comfy.
Hair in bed and bathroom. Got bit thru the night. Front desk staff seemed like it was a burden to bring me the remote missing from my room. Didn't like being around back on the 2nd floor as being a female traveling alone.
This is a convenient location for events at Ohio University when hotels in Athens are sold out. The staff is great, and the rooms are comfortable. We usually take advantage of the free breakfast but sometimes eat at the Cracker Barrel up the hill.
Only positive is wifi
Breakfast sucked and had cold coffee. The people avove us partied clear i to the early morning hours making sleep terrible even after calling front desk and complaining. I wit essed staff clraning trash out of rooms while smoking. I found finger nail clipings on the counter in the bathroom....they werent ours, a broken jacuzzi in a jacuzzi room and weak spots all over th floor. Terrible place to stay.
Comfort of bed.
Moldy coffe maker. Motel is beaten and needs updating painting etc. Paid more than twice as much as some much nicer places we've stayed.
We had a wonderful stay during Thanksgiving weekend while visiting my family in Parkersburg. Wonderful staff, a beautiful and specially decorated display of Christmas trees in the lobby, and amazing menu and wine list in the restaurant.
It was great
This is a great place to stay enroute because of the easy access. Better yet is the lack of highway noise because of the protected location. Everything is very fresh and new. We liked the crisp bedding, ensuite fridge and microwave, and helpful staff.
Super clean, great price to quality ratio, friendly staff, modern design.
Breakfast could use some meat.
Nothing,it was located in a bad neighbothood
Everthing, there were signs everywhere stating to lock everything up. Felt very unsafe. I ended up having to get a different hotel. There were people outside smoking crack or cocaine, drinking and very loud. Was not a safe place for two female travelers.
The hotel was close to where I needed to be on Sunday. I liked being on the first floor.
The staff was rude. The lady at the counter yelled at me when I told her I'd made a reservation and told me I did not. She was rude even after I gave her my confermation no. The carpet was nasty and stained. The bathtub was black with greasy soap scum.
Friendly staff at an average hotel. The room was clean.
My wife found a towel that had dust or dirt on it, but other than that, everything was OK. Nothing was outstanding, but nothing was bad.
The hotel was clean, staff helpful and nice to deal with.
It was affordable.
My significant other and I booked the room, and was booked elsewhere by a friend. We didn't even stay the night and wasn't given a refund!
Not that clean. Stains on blanket. Tv didnt work. No hair dryer or coffeemaker and no vending machines at all. Never would have staye
The atmosphere is terrific. There is the feeling of old world quality of life, an era gone by when people lived a more genteel and sophisticated life style. It is a beautiful hotel, great setting, wonderful staff. Overall we had a chance to experience the glory of a more elegant way of life.
We didn't mind the small size of the room, but the bathroom was too small for us as we are big people. The whole building did have a smell, that said, this is a very old building, but I believe that something could be done.
breakfast - good quality, lots of options
I needed hot tub for my arthritis - it was non functioning. Maid service never cleaned my room or made my bed. was stuck on 2nd floor with no elevator w/ my arthritis problem.
The pool was closed
easy access. room quiet
breakfast offering very so-so. don't like the first floor
This motel was very clean and had a very helpful and pleasant staff who were very accommodating in every way.
They did have kids running up and down the hallways that made it noisy for a couple of the rooms

I'm a big fan of the integrated pad/bag solution, which BA popularized and a few others are now doing too (thermarest, nemo, feathered friends). IMO it's a small weight and medium price penalty for a huge gain in comfort.I'm 6'0" and about 215 lbs. I could probably squeeze into a smaller bag, but why be uncomfortable? This bag with the right pad (e.g., neoair or q core) is a luxury bed for car camping while still being light enough and compressible enough to take backpacking (at least for me, I'm not a SUL guy).My two critiques are (1) BA hasn't updated the Park series in years. They have such good tech now, and I'd love to see it introduced to the bigger bags. Imagine how light and pack-able an 850 fill water-resistant down version of this would be. (2) I would lose the "pillow sleeve." It just never hits me at the right spot.
I love my BA Lost Dog Primaloft bag(discontinued), but like the width of this bag. To me, Primaloft is more down-like than Quallofil. I'm 5'10" 260 & have plenty of room in BA Park-series bags (I can almost stick my knee out at a 90 degree angle). This bag is light & compressible (BA doesn't use insulation in the bag's bottom). They have been doing this for years and other companies are just now catching on & copy-catting. Your pad provides the insulation on the bottom. This is good because you can reduce the weight of the bag & you can customize the warmth of the bag by using pads with different R-values. If you are fat, live in Alaska, use a R-7 pad, you would probably be comfortable at 30 deg in this bag. If you live in Phoenix, weigh 90 pounds, and use a R-0 pad, this bag would be comfortable at 70 deg. For me, its good for 60-70 deg with R-0 pad (great for summer nights in the south), or 50-60 degrees with an R-5 pad (late spring,early fall). Works as overbag too.
I have always been an avid camper. For the past ten years I have been camping with my Scout Troop in the middle of the Arcadia Woods. Having reliable equipment is a must. I am considered a large person and this product down not make me feel cramped. I highly recommend this product.
I bought this for a roomier summer bag, with the potential to use as an overbag for cooler camping. I have been very pleased with the comfort rating and have not had any chilling nights sleep in weather down to the low 30's. For it's price, and material; I am very surprised with it's weight and how much it compresses. The little bit rougher inside doesn't seem to bother me, but someone used to only sleeping on luxury cotton might find them a little rough. Another thing that is awesome about Big Agnes is when I first took this bag out on a 5 day Boundary Water's Canoe trip the zipper was busted. Once I got home I contacted Big Agnes customer service and they sent me a new bag and let me keep the defected one. I spent $20 at an upholstery shop and they fixed the zipper so I have a bag that cost $20 bucks and 5 nights camping without a zipper.
This bag is very nice for 3 season camping. There's plenty of room for us larger people. The bag is reasonably lightweight and easily fits the sleeping bag compartment in my backpack, in it's stuff sack. The pad sleeve is nice for keeping your pad(s) secure, and has a slit in the foot so you can reach inside and pull your pad into place. The zipper works smoothly but is low on the side and takes some getting used to. As a winter overbag, my -25 oversized synthetic fits easily. Attached pillow sleeve is nice and can be stuffed with extra clothes instead of a pillow. Interior material is a little "crisp", but I use a silk bag liner.

By Vladimir S. at ringside: International Boxing Federation (IBF) middleweight champion Arthur Abraham (30-0, 24 KOs) had a tougher than expected time against number #11 rated IBF contender Mahir Oral (25-2, 10 KOs) on Saturday night, stopping him in the 10th round at the Max Schmeling Halle, in Berlin, Germany. Abraham, 29, used a very economical approach to the fight giving away many of the rounds to the much busier Oral and making the fight tougher than it might have been had Abraham fought all out in one of the earlier rounds.
Oral, 29, was knocked down five times in total, including three times in the 10th when he took a knee several times to escape punishment. Ultimately, Orals corner threw in the towel after the third knockdown in the 10th, as it was clear that Oral was a beaten fighter and couldnt continue on.
Oral controlled the action in the first three rounds, throwing short combinations and nice jabs and easily outworking Abraham. Oral stood straight up and showed very little power in his shots. However, he didnt need to because he was much busier Abraham and was able to catch Abraham when he would attempt to throw punches. During this part of the fight, Abraham looked slow and sluggish compared to his best years at middleweight two years ago.
In the 4th round, Oral continued to dominate the action with his short combinations and better work rate until near the end of the round when Abraham suddenly dropped to the canvas after getting hit with a series of hard hooks from Abraham. Had Oral been aware of Abrahams tendency to try and steal the rounds by throwing a flurry in the last thirty seconds of every round, Oral might have been able to avoid getting hurt. However, he stood directly in front of Abraham and made it easy for him. Abraham then teed off on the hurt Oral in the remaining seconds of the round, hitting him with some monstrous shots as the round came to a close.
Abraham looked like the fighter of old in the 5th round, fighting hard the entire round and landing a huge number of power shots. Oral slipped to the canvas early in the round after getting hit by a right hand. However, the referee ruled that it was caused by a slip and not a knockdown. The crowd thought otherwise, as did I. Oral seemed to have problems taking hard shots from Abraham.
In the 6th round, Abraham flattened Oral again, this time knocking him down with a big right hand to the head. Oral got back up and gamely tried to fight back but took an enormous amount of punishment in the remainder of the round.
Abraham appeared to take the round off in the 7th, throwing few punches and letting Oral land his quick combinations and jabs. Oral, when hes allowed to throw his shots, he looks quite good for a fighter ranked number #11. He showed some good technical ability.
Unfortunately, his power was almost nonexistent. In the latter part of the round, Abraham came on and landed some hard shots. However, I had Oral winning the round based on his better work in the first two minutes of the round. In the 8th and 9th rounds, Abraham got the better of Oral with his big power shots. He kept a lot of pressure on Oral and fired back counter shots in retaliation when hit by Orals weak combinations.
In the 10th round, Oral looked beaten and ready to go at the start of the round. His body language seemed to indicate a fighter that had taken too many blows and was looking for a way out. Early in the round after getting hit with several left hands from Abraham, Oral dropped down and took a knee on the canvas.
Moments later, Oral took another knee after getting hit with several shots from Abraham. The punches looked nothing special, but Oral just seemed to be finished mentally and appeared to be at the end of his rope. His corner should have stepped in and stopped the fight at this point because he had nothing left.
Abraham then finished matters by hitting Oral with a three shot combination that sent Oral down for the third and final time in the round. Orals corner then threw in the towel and the fight was mercifully stopped at 1:23 of the 10th by referee Earl Brown.
In other action on the card, unbeaten cruiserweight prospect Alexander Frenkel (18-0, 14 KOs) defeated Rodolfo De Dominicis (15-2, 11 KOs) by a 3rd round stoppage in a fight that was very sloppy and hard to watch. Dominicis, 36, appeared to be a step backwards for Frenkel in terms of quality, and made the fight a nightmare to watch because of his wild charging attacks. Dominicis was knocked down twice in the 2nd round, although the referee appeared to blow the call on the first knockdown because Dominicis fell down without getting hit.
The second knockdown came from a right hand to the back of Dominicis head. In the 3rd round, Frenkel opened up with a sustained power attack in which he hammered Dominicis with a number of tremendous uppercuts that caused the referee to step in and halt the fight as Dominicis corner decided to throw in the towel.
It was a hard fight for Frenkel to look good against because of Dominicis unorthodox style of fighting. For a fighter with a 15-1 record going into Saturday nights fight, Dominicis looked very average. He did, however, serve the purpose of getting Frenkel ready for opponents that will try and rush him later in his career, but thats about the extent of it. Frenkel would have been better served had he been put in with someone with a lot better skills than a fighter like Dominicis.

Q. "It says mounting hardware isn't included. What kind of mounting hardware do I need for these products?"
A. The safety bars featured here should only be installed in areas where the mounting surface is structurally sound, and must be secured with fasteners appropriate to the structural material of the wall. Each fastener must have a retention force rating for the maximum weight capacity of the product you've chosen (see product specifications for this information). Inspect, or have inspected (and tighten if neccessary) the screws on a monthly basis. If you are not equipped to undertake the outlined work we recommend that you have your product installed by a qualified contractor.
Q. "I noticed there are assistance levels on these products, can you tell me which number means what, etc.?"
A.The levels are....
Assistance Level 1: Minimal - I can stand up or transfer on my own, but need some support for safety. I may use a cane and/or a walker on occasion.
Assistance Level 2: Moderate - I require firm or solid support to be able to complete standing or transfers. I may use a cane and/or a walker on occasion. I occasionally use a scooter on days where I'm feeling a bit tired.
Assistance Level 3: Maximum - I am not able to perform standing and transferring without assistance. I require leaning & resting support. I depend on my walkers / wheelchair to get around.
Assistance Level 4: Powered Assistance - I require the use of a mechanical lift or powered device to safely perform transfers. I will apply most, if not all, of my body weight on the transfer aide. I use a wheelchair / scooter to get around.
Q. "What causes mobility to become an issue?"
A. The causes of impaired mobility can range from body changes due to aging, to rehabilitation following an accident or stroke, to increased symptoms of conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Any sort of restricted movement can affect the activities of daily living, which may not only be frustrating, but can potentially make "normal" activities feel unsafe. The major goal of adding transfer bars and other assistive devices is to maintain functional ability, and ensure a safe environment, no matter the cause of the decreased mobility.

system for processing phonetic symbols in LaTeX
TIPA is a system for processing IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) symbols in LaTeX written by Fukui Rei. TIPA stands for either TeX IPA or Tokyo IPA and derived from the tsipa package, made in 1992 by Kobayashi Hajime, Fukui Rei and Shirakawa Shun.
Among many features of TIPA, the following are the new features as compared with tsipa or any other existing systems for processing IPA symbols:
* A new 256 character encoding for phonetic symbols (`T3'), which includes all the symbols and diacritics found in the recent versions of IPA and some non-IPA symbols. * Complete support of LaTeX2e. * Roman, slanted, bold, bold extended and sans serif font styles. * Easy input method in the IPA environment. * Extended macros for accents and diacritics. * A flexible system of macros for `tone letters'. * An optional package (vowel.sty) for drawing vowel diagrams. * A slightly modified set of fonts that go well when used with Times Roman and Helvetica fonts.
Type 1 fonts for TIPA are also included in this package (to make them available in X11 applications other than LaTeX, please install the xfonts-tipa package).

Robert L. Caret was elected the 26th President of the University of Massachusetts system on January 13, 2011. UMass was established in 1863 and consists of the flagship campus in Amherst, along with campuses in Boston, Dartmouth, Lowell and a Medical School in Worcester.The University also has a satellite in Springfield and a School of Law in Dartmouth. UMass is currently ranked as the No. 1 public university in New England and is among the world's top 100 universities, according to Times Higher Education World Rankings.
President Caret, a native New Englander, assumed the presidency of the University of Massachusetts after completing highly successful presidencies at San Jose State University and Towson University. President Caret presided over periods of significant growth at both universities and gained national acclaim for eliminating race-based graduation disparities at Towson.
From 2003 to 2011, President Caret was president of Towson University where he also served as a faculty member, dean, executive vice president and provost during his more than 25-year tenure. At Towson, President Caret created partnerships with regional business, non-profit and civic organizations, raised student graduation rates, and undertook a capital fundraising and building campaign to support campus infrastructure improvements and the construction of numerous academic and student life facilities. Between 1995 and 2003, Dr. Caret served as president of San Jose State University, where he championed a joint city/university effort to build the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in San Jose.
As president of the University of Massachusetts, Dr. Caret is the system's chief executive officer and is charged with advancing its mission of education, research and public service to the Commonwealth. In this role, President Caret has established himself as a major spokesperson on the pressing issues of college affordability and student debt, calling for Massachusetts and states across the nation to rededicate themselves to their public universities and provide appropriate levels of funding. In Massachusetts, President Caret successfully pursued a 50-50 funding formula for UMass, with the state and students contributing equally to the University's general education program. His success in securing additional state funding from the Legislature has allowed UMass to freeze tuition and mandatory fees for in-state undergraduate students for two consecutive years.
President Caret has also emphasized efficiency and transparency, rolling out a number of cost-saving initiatives as part of his focus on both administrative and academic efficiencies. In addition, President Caret created a new accountability report, UMass Performance: Accountable and on the Move, that lays out the University's goals as they relate to six focal areas: Student Experience & Success; Producing an Educated Workforce and Engaged Citizenry; World Class Research & Development Enterprise; Enhancing the Social Well Being; Good Stewards of Resources; and Telling and Selling the UMass Story. Future reports rate the University's performance in those areas.

Carlisle: NBA lockout leaves barren TV landscape
These are precarious days for Los Angeles pro sports — and for the TV networks that show them.
Fox Sports West and Prime Ticket haven't had a lot of live sports to show the past couple of weeks. Thank goodness for the start of the hockey season. Otherwise, between Sunday and Wednesday, the two channels would have virtually nothing live.
The dilemma, of course, is caused by the NBA lockout, which has wiped out the entire preseason schedule and the first two weeks of the regular season. There are no Lakers or Clippers games to show.
In a week where UCLA has a bye in football and USC played Thursday night on ESPN, the only live local sports that FS West had to show were Kings games on Thursday and Saturday and an Orange Lutheran-Servite high school football game tonight. It was even worse on Prime Ticket, with only Ducks games tonight and Sunday.
The two local networks do have a few national telecasts they can add to their schedules, but this week even those are pretty slim. FS West has Florida State-Duke college football on Saturday; Prime Ticket had a high school football game from Texas on Thursday, Central Florida-SMU and Kansas State-Texas Tech college football on Saturday and Florida-Alabama women's volleyball on Sunday. Also scattered throughout the week is horse racing from far-off places like Belmont Park and Keeneland.
Now, it should be noted this usually isn't a big month for L.A. sports anyway, and that situation became even more exacerbated when neither the Dodgers nor the Angels made the playoffs. USC's football team is sanctioned, UCLA's is flirting only with the .500 mark, so there isn't a whole lot out there other than the NHL and Major League Soccer.
But consider not only the present, but the future as well. This was going to be the last season for the Lakers to be on FS West anyway. The Lakers, in a move announced last February and which is still stunning to contemplate, said they will break their long ties with FS West and KCAL (Channel 9) and put their games on two new channels being developed by Time Warner Cable — one in English, the other in Spanish.
If the Lakers ever do play basketball this season, they will have two new play-by-play announcers: Bill Macdonald on TV and John Ireland on radio. But they've each signed just one-year contracts. Imagine getting the job of your dreams — as these jobs likely are for Macdonald and Ireland — and then experiencing the nightmare of having no games to call.
National broadcasters, such as ESPN/ABC and TNT, have a lot of other programming to fall back on — TNT could always just show another episode of "Bones" — but FS West and Prime Ticket don't have nearly as much to draw from. It's ironic to recall that when Fox started a second L.A. channel (then known as Fox Sports West 2), an executive told me it had been done because of an "embarrassment of riches" in L.A. sports.
Prime Ticket's top attraction then and now was the Dodgers. But now Fox is embroiled in legal action against Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, who wants to sell the club's TV rights to help get the team out of bankruptcy. Fox has threatened not to air Dodgers games during the final two years remaining on its contract.
Indeed, the courtroom is one of the few places where there's much action going on these days. Maybe Prime Ticket should start televising that.

text: Description: From Flore des serres et des Jardins de l'Europe, L. van Houtte, C. Lemaire, M. Scheidweiler, 1845-1883.Louis Benoit van Houtte (1810-1876) was a Belgian horticulturist who was with the Jardin Botanique de Brussels between 1836 and 1838 and is best-known for the journal Flore des serres et des Jardins de l'Europe, an extensive work boasting more than 2000 colored plates in 23 volumes published between 1845 and 1883. Van Houtte founded L'Horticulteur Belge (1833–1838), a monthly magazine, in November 1832. He also started a shop selling seeds and garden tools. Botany continued to hold his interest, and the tropical plants flooding into Europe provided a wealth of material for study. At the height of European orchid mania in 1845 he despatched plant collectors to the Americas to search for orchids and other exotic plants. Van Houtte produced plants for European conservatories and cultivated the first Victoria Lily on the Continent. By the 1870s van Houtte's nursery was flourishing, covering 14 hectares and comprising 50 greenhouses. The business was carried on by van Houtte's son, when he died in 1876.These lithographs are strikingly lush depictions of a subject matter obviously very close to the artist's heart. Many include small delicately drawn morphological details. Contains material from the Wikipedia article Louis van Houtte

"South Park" battle over Scientology heats up
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Actor Tom Cruise threatened to
boycott promotion of his upcoming Paramount Pictures film
unless a sister cable TV network pulled a "South Park" rerun
lampooning the Church of Scientology, industry sources said on
Representatives for Paramount and Cruise, a prominent
Scientologist, denied he made any such threats or had anything
to do with the Comedy Central network canceling plans to air a
repeat of the "South Park" episode titled "Trapped in the
Closet," on Wednesday.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the crudely
animated cartoon hit, issued a quirky statement, filled with
references to Scientology and the science-fiction writings of
church founder L. Ron Hubbard, suggesting Scientology was
behind the scheduling change.
"So, Scientology, you have won THIS battle, but the
million-year war for Earth has just begun," the pair wrote.
"Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from
keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies.
Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your
feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"
Instead of the Tom Cruise episode, the network aired reruns
of two "South Park" episodes featuring the character Chef,
voiced by veteran soul singer Isaac Hayes, also a
Scientologist, who quit the show earlier this week.
Comedy Central, which like Paramount is owned by Viacom
Inc., declined comment on the rerun switch, other than to say:
"In light of the events of earlier this week, we wanted to give
Chef an appropriate tribute by airing two episodes he is most
known for."
Two industry sources familiar with the situation told
Reuters Comedy Central pulled the "Trapped in the Closet"
episode from its "South Park" rerun rotation after Cruise
threatened to cease promotion of his upcoming Paramount film,
"Mission: Impossible III."
Cruise spokesman Paul Bloch said neither the actor nor his
representatives "had anything to do" with the scheduling of
"South Park" reruns and that Cruise had never said to anyone he
would refuse to promote his film. Paramount spokeswoman Janet
Hill denied any knowledge of such a threat.
"South Park," heading into its 10th season next week as one
of Comedy Central's biggest hits, centers on the antics of four
foul-mouthed fourth-graders in a small Colorado town.
Outlandish religious satire has been a mainstay of the show
since its debut in 1997, poking fun at Catholics, Jews,
Mormons, Buddhists and Muslims. One early episode featured a
martial-arts duel between Jesus and Santa Claus over the true
meaning of Christmas.
While Hayes cited the show's ridicule of religion generally
as his reason for leaving the series, Stone said in a statement
on Monday the soul singer was specifically upset about the
"Trapped in the Closet" episode, which first aired last fall.
In it, the character named Stan scores so high on a
Scientology test that church followers think he is the next L.
Ron Hubbard. Cruise is depicted locking himself in Stan's
closet and then refusing repeated requests by various
characters to "come out of the closet," including John
Travolta, who eventually joins Cruise in the closet.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Sweet 75
Sweet 75
IN THE AGE of alternative, we've gotten used to bands doing everything up BIG: BIG productions, BIG concepts, BIG hits, BIG hype. The only thing that's not enormous is the inspiration. A welcome contrast is the self-titled debut by Krist Novoselic's new band, Sweet 75--a small album, humble in its goals but big in chutzpah, the way that albums by underground rock bands used to be in the mid- to late-'80s, before Novoselic's old band Nirvana helped refashion the universe.
Unlike Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters, Novoselic doesn't grab the spotlight on his first post-Nirvana album. In fact, you'd never know he was there if it wasn't certain to be mentioned in every review, this one included. The star of the show is Yva Las Vegas, a former Venezuelan street singer turned Seattle busker with a gutsy voice that brings to mind a South American Joan Jett. She plays bass, Novoselic backs her on electric 12-string, a hired drummer drums, and the focus stays on a pretty solid collection of songs instead of an ultra-sellable sound. (Sorry kids, no grunge or electronica here.)
Stylistically, the band veers from straightforward rock ("Fetch," "Six Years") to pseudo-lounge ("Dogs" and "La Vida," featuring guest trumpet by Herb Alpert), and from the Monkees-play-country ("Ode to Dolly") to traditional Venezuelan folk music ("Cantos de Pilon," which has Peter Buck on mandolin and Novoselic on accordion). As you might expect from a group that takes its name from a Theodore Roethke anecdote and works to incorporate bits of world music in its mix, the lyrics are like those poems they used to run as filler in the Utne Reader ("Even the monkeys fall from the trees/I'm always watching so they won't fall on me," Yva sings in "Japan Trees").
None of this is embarrassing, and none of it is life-changing either. It's charming, pleasant, and made for college radio (if there is such a thing anymore). It's small, but cool, like an old Volkswagen Beetle. Modern-rock radio, MTV, and the glossy rock mags will hate it, and those are three more reasons to dig it.

text: Camille and I have long shared the desire to explore more, always searching for new places to visit. We've meant to visit this place for so long now, (along with a LOT of other coffee shops nearby) and we finally did. It was actually the perfect timing when we got there. It was past 5 PM, almost to the golden hour and it wasn't too hot to walk in Maginhawa, just the right amount of sunlight and rays hitting the pavement. Luckily, when we arrived, there were only two people inside because the cafe is actually pretty small compared to photos. It's housed in an studio-type apartment unit which fits only about 6-8 people at a time. The coffee and ambiance was okay, not what I'd expected though; might come back but not too soon.

WHILE sewage is not something you can set your watch by, it'll certainly tell you when the weekend has arrived.
Last year Yves Levi and colleagues at the University of Paris-South found that Parisian waste water was awash with cocaine and its metabolites on Friday and Saturday nights (Forensic Science International, DOI: 10.1016/j.forsciint.2010.04.007). MDMA, the active compound in ecstasy pills, was also present, though at much lower levels.
But things are different down under. This week the same journal has published the results of a similar study by a team led by Chang Chen at the University of Adelaide. They report a quintupling of MDMA levels and a 30 per cent rise in methamphetamine use in Adelaide at the weekend compared with midweek levels (DOI: 10.1016/j.forsciint.2011.01.037). Cocaine maintained third place all week.
A UN report published in 2009 did not find such a big geographical disparity in cocaine use, Chen says. The report estimated that levels of cocaine use were similar in Europe and Australia, but Chen says the waste-water analysis suggests the drug is 30 times more prevalent in Europe.
Both teams hope their studies will inform campaigns against drug abuse.

In 2000, the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) created the Conservation Training Project, (CTP) to focus on mentorship and skills development of future conservationists. The project aims to prepare young conservation students with necessary sector skill requirements and experiences to take up positions within the sector. An agreement in 2008 lead to the use of the De Beers Nature Reserve, Telperion, being used to conduct conservation mentorship and skills development activities. Soil conservation, alien plants, fire, natural resource management, law enforcement, vegetation survey techniques, specie identification as well as communication activities, totaling 1399 hours, was made available to 66 students. 2014-10-29T00:00:00Z Does competition and facilitation within ungulate communities affect species at the population level?

Louw, C.J.; Marshall, J.P. Basic feeding morphology dictate that grazing ungulates be divided into tall grass grazers and short grass grazers respectively (Murray & Brown, 1993). Short grass grazers such as blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) often numerically dominate other ungulate species in grassland ecosystems and combined with zebra are able to modify ecosystems at the expense of tall grass grazers such as red hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus). Grazing lawns became established on old fields in Ezemvelo –Telperion Game Reserve, resulting in habitat utilization being heterogeneous on spatial as well as temporal scales. Two distinct hartebeest populations, separated by the Wilge River bisecting the reserve were differentially effected by the presence of wildebeest and zebra respectively. 2014-10-29T00:00:00Z Taking stock: Seven years of Conservation Skills Development and Training on Telperion, Mpumalanga Wilson, Graeme A.

The essence of WIL, is that it provides the opportunity for students to acquire and apply knowledge in workplace contexts, with the idea that they are work ready and more employable upon graduation. The greatest challenge in providing this workplace context is the lack of willing and qualified industry mentors to supply the need and demand of this WIL component. In an effort to address this, between seven and ten, one-week long excursions; funded by Ernest Oppenheimer & Son (EOS) and hosted by Unisa; are held per year on Telperion. Each focuses on a WIL curricula learning outcome and always incorporates various aspects of the critical cross field outcomes. There has been a constant and steady growth in the number of students positively affected by the partnership between EOS and Unisa, through this formalized WIL excursion programme, with up to 44% of the 2014 graduates having come through this programme. 2014-10-22T00:00:00Z Evaluating the effectiveness of guided versus non-guided interpretation in the Kruger National Park, South Africa Roberts, Mark Mearns, Kevin Edwards, Victoria http://hdl.handle.net/10500/14205 2014-10-25T22:00:31Z 2014-06-24T00:00:00Z Evaluating the effectiveness of guided versus non-guided interpretation in the Kruger National Park, South Africa Roberts, Mark; Mearns, Kevin; Edwards, Victoria In the face of growing pressure placed on the natural environment, the study on which this article is based considered the effectiveness of interpretive provision in mitigating the harmful effects of tourism on the environment. The aim of this research was to determine whether guided or non-guided interpretation is most effective in reaching the stated goals of interpretation. The four key goals of interpretation, namely visitor satisfaction, knowledge gain, attitude change and modification of behaviour intent, were used in the assessment of the relative effectiveness of guided and non-guided interpretation in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Through comparing responses to questionnaires from post-visit samples and observing both guided and non-guided interpretation, the research found that guided interpretation was only marginally more effective in reaching the four key goals of interpretation than the non-guided interpretive media. Guided interpretation was found to be more effective in terms of visitor satisfaction, whilst guided and non-guided interpretation had only marginal differences in effectiveness in relation to knowledge gain, attitude change and intent to modify behaviour. Conservation implications: The necessity of implementing an appropriate interpretation programme within protected areas cannot be overemphasised. The interpretation programme should be designed to include elements of both guided and non-guided interpretation in order to achieve a predetermined goal. The effectiveness of the programme should be evaluated periodically and amended where appropriate. 2014-06-24T00:00:00Z

Its just that those scores are not factored into the final score. However it reports those scores. If the user does not look at them then thats THEIR fault. Combine the two and you get a nice overall system indicator.
Besides furture mark is about FUTURE games not todays games. They look at:
Gun Metal = Which is a joke to be called a DX9 benchmark. It has one Vertex Shader 2 element (which should be able to run on the CPU?) but supports on PS1.1 Pixel shaders which is DX8. Doh
Unreal Tournament 2003 = Which is a DX7 game with few DX8 features sprinkeled on top.
Jedi Knight II = Horribly CPU limited game (all of the geo processing runs in software)
Comanche 4 = Probably the closes thing to a truly DX8 game test we have.
and NeverWinter Nights. Excuse me but arent these all current/old games? If you want to find out how your card does in todays games use TODAYs games. Futuremark is about games that are not out yet.
