Site: Evanston, Ill. (Welsh-Ryan Arena)
Event: Big Ten Championships (Day 2 of 2)
U-M Standing: 5th Place of 11 Teams (86.5 points)
Next U-M Event: Thu-Sat., March 17-19 -- at NCAA Championships (Philadelphia, Pa.), 10 a.m.
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Senior/junior captain Kellen Russell (High Bridge, N.J./Blair Academy) captured the third Big Ten 141-pound title of his career, leading the No. 11-ranked University of Michigan wrestling team to fifth place (86.5 points) at the Big Ten Conference Championships on Saturday (March 6) at Welsh-Ryan Arena. In the closest team race in years, Penn State captured the team title with 139 points, while Iowa took second with 138.
Russell earned his largest winning margin in his third Big Ten finals appearance, using an early takedown and a late five-point move to cruise past Minnesota's third-seeded Mike Thorn, 8-4. The top-seeded Russell took advantage of Thorn's offense to gain control, scrambling out of an immediate single-leg shot to score on the edge just 12 seconds into the bout. The wrestlers traded a few flurries in the middle period, before the Wolverine captain blew the match open early in the third, rolling to reverse Thorn to his back for a three-point near fall. Russell could not get the pin and gave up a late reversal out of an ensuing scramble but settled for the decision to improve his perfect season record to 33-0.
Sophomore/freshman Eric Grajales (Brandon, Fla./Brandon HS) dropped a narrow 3-0 decision to Penn State's top-seeded Frank Molinaro in the 149-pound final. The Nittany Lion wrestler scored on a single leg midway through the first period and earned an escape midway through the second -- after Grajales ran off his riding time -- to control the match throughout.
Sophomore Sean Boyle (High Bridge, N.J./Blair Academy) split his day-two matches to claim fourth place at 125 pounds, earning his NCAA Championships automatic qualification bid with his morning victory -- a 6-3 decision over Purdue's Camden Eppert in the consolation semifinals. The Wolverine wrestler, seeded fifth, controlled throughout, scoring on single legs in the first and second periods and riding most of the third period to accumulate 2:23 in time advantage.
Boyle lost to Minnesota's third-seeded Zach Sanders, 12-4, in the third-place match behind five Gopher takedowns -- three of which came off of Boyle's shots. Sanders surged ahead in the final period, finishing on three takedowns to earn the major decision after riding time. Boyle's fourth-place finish is his best two career appearances at the Big Ten event; he did not place last season as a true freshman.
Junior Zac Stevens (Monroe, Mich./Monroe HS) also posted his best ever Big Ten finish, claiming fifth place at 133 pounds after accepting a forfeit victory over Ohio State's Ian Paddock in the placing bout. Stevens, seeded seventh, dropped an 11-5 decision against Illinois' fourth-seeded B.J. Futrell in the consolation semifinal. Despite a late surge on a third-period takedown, Stevens could not overcome Futrell's five-point first-period move -- a double leg that took the Wolverine wrestler straight to his back. Stevens is now a three-time Big Ten placewinner, earning previous finishes of seventh and eighth.
Sophomore/freshman Dan Yates (Hesperia, Mich./Hesperia HS) punched his ticket to the NCAA Championships in dramatic fashion, using a pin from the neutral position to defeat Illinois' Conrad Polz in the 165-pound fifth-place match and earn the weight's final automatic-qualifying bid. After failing to convert on a deep single leg in the first, Yates, seeded sixth, made good on his next attempt, wrapping up Polz on a high crotch and came up with it to drag Polz down his back. Yates twice rocked the Illini wrestler back on his shoulders, earning the pin call on the latter to end the bout at 3:22.
The Wolverine rookie dropped a close 3-1 decision in the consolation semifinals as Iowa's fourth-seeded Aaron Janssen converted on the winning single leg in the last 20 seconds of regulation. Yates had dictated the early pace but failed to finish on a couple of early opportunities.
Junior/sophomore Ben Apland (Woodridge, Ill./Downers Grove South HS) dropped both of his day-two matches to claim sixth place at heavyweight with a 3-3 record. Squaring off against Penn State's top-seeded Cameron Wade in the fifth-place match, Apland could not overcome an early and sizable deficit as Wade used a first-period single leg and three-point tilt and a counter takedown in the third to win 9-0.
Apland lost a heartbreaker against Michigan State's seventh-seeded Joe Rizqallah in the morning consolation semifinals, tying the match on a last-second takedown only to fall 8-5 in the tiebreaker. Rizqallah scored on two counter takedowns -- one apiece in the first and third periods -- to carry a narrow lead and riding time late in the match. Apland pressed the action, converting out of a flurry on the edge with just one tick left on the regulation clock. After a scoreless sudden-victory frame, the Spartan wrestler secured a quick escape in the first tiebreaker and caught Apland in a roll in the second to add two back points to his winning score.
Senior/junior Justin Zeerip (Fremont, Mich./Hesperia HS) dropped a 6-5 decision to Michigan State's eighth-seeded Curran Jacobs on a tiebreaker ride out in the 174-pound seventh-place match. Jacobs secured a quick escape in the first 30-second go, and despite getting to his feet in the second, Zeerip could not do the same.
The Wolverines will take a two-week break to prepare for the NCAA Championships, scheduled for March 17-19 in Philadelphia, Pa. Michigan will send at least seven wrestlers to the national event and have an opportunity to add another one or two when wild cards are announced on Wednesday (March 9).

? Five Wolverine wrestlers matched or surpassed their seeds.
U-M Senior/Junior Kellen Russell
On his finals match against Minnesota's Mike Thorn ... "He got in deep right away, but I was able to get into a scramble position with him and come out on top pretty easily. When I picked bottom in the third period, I knew he was going to throw a leg in and I was ready for it. I hit a roll right to his back. Late in the match, I got a little choked out but was able to hold him off, keep hand fighting and circling and wrestle the match I wanted to."
On winning three Big Ten titles... "It was good. I'm happy I was able to come out here and wrestle as well as I did. I also got to wrestle two of the toughest guys in the country, so that's great experience as I continue to prepare for NCAAs. I'm glad to have won three. There have been a lot of great wrestlers who haven't been able to do that. But I'm really just concentrating on winning my first national title rather than resting on my Big Ten performances. That's my goal."
U-M Sophomore/Freshman Eric Grajales
On his finals match against Penn State's Frank Molinaro ... "It was a tough match. I wrestled pretty well for about 99 percent of the match, but I just gave up one takedown in the first period; I relaxed for a split second and gave up two points. I didn't put any points on the board, but I was right there. So, it didn't go the way I wanted, but it really showed me that with a few small changes, I could have won that match."
On his weekend performance ... "I knew what I was capable of going into the tournament, but I knew that I'd have to wrestle my best. I just went out there and did what I've been practicing all season. I had a rematch with [Andrew] Nadhir, who was the second seed, and that was a close one. I knew that if I stuck to my game plan and stuck to my style, I could beat any one of those guys. It helps me a lot. I wrestled three top-10-ranked guys this weekend and beat two of them. If I can keep working hard and prepare right over the next two weeks, I'll be right there for the NCAA Tournament."
U-M Sophomore/Freshman Dan Yates
On qualifying for NCAAs in his last match ... "My coaches have always told me that you just need to get into the big show. Once you're in there, anything can happen. I knew I had to go out there and get a win. In my earlier matches, I was thinking way too much. So, in that last match, I went out and just tried to let everything flow. I had better defense and better offense."
On his first Big Ten Championships ... "It was tough, a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Coming in, I knew there were a bunch of tough kids at my weight, but I didn't expect every match to be such a battle. They want to go to nationals, so they were giving it everything they have."
On the team performance ... "I think we did well this weekend as far as guys wrestling above their seeds and just wrestling hard the whole time. We weren't giving up too much; even in the matches we lost, they were close matches. So, I think we're pretty happy with the team effort."

Japan has signed new air services agreements with the Philippines and Canada that will allow carriers from those countries access to Tokyo's Haneda airport.
Japan and the Philippines have signed an open skies agreement, under which carriers can operate unlimited number of flights to either country, and onto a third point. Restrictions on codesharing have also been removed, says an official from Japan's ministry of land, infrastructure, transport and tourism.
Airlines can also launch one daily daytime service from Tokyo Haneda to points in the Philippines.
Under the agreement with Canada, carriers from either country will be able to launch a daily daytime service from Tokyo Haneda to any point in Canada from 31 March 2014.
Flightglobal's FlightMaps Analytics shows that there are no carriers flying from Tokyo Haneda to either Canada or the Philippines.

Good Points
Rapid satellite acquisition, large bright color screen, large memory for map storage, accurate, intuitive controls.
Bad Points
Better used for hiking, rather small screen (oriented vertically) not great for automobile use.
General Comments
I have been using the Garmin 60CS for a while now. I use it mostly while hunting in the wilderness. The interface is quite intuitive and the keys are large enough to use with gloves on. The unit is rugged, water resistant, and has rubberized gripping surfaces that work well even when wet. Satellite acquisition is quite rapid, far better than my Magellan model. Dropping way-points and backtracking are a snap. The display is large for a hand held, bright, and in color. I have mine loaded with topographical maps of the entire state of New Mexico, and one map deep into Arizona, Colorado, and Texas. The battery life is great, as long as you don't keep the screen at full brightness constantly. Great value for the money.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
The apartment is fully equipped with central a/c, cable TV and wireless Internet.
Our 2 bedroom apartment is located on Jobos Beach, Isabela just steps away from the ocean. Jobos Beach is an excellent family beach. The sandy beach is excellent for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance of the apartment. Nighttime entertainment is available at these locations.
This area is famous for surfing, scuba diving and windsurfing. Various beaches are excellent for beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels for all these activities. Horseback riding is nearby also.
Our 3 day stay made us wish we had stayed longer. We were 2 adults and 3 kids and we all left happy. The beach is beautiful. There are many beaches just a short drive away, just in case you are unsure of your swimming skills or do not plan to surf. There are eateries for all tastes within walking distance and loads more in the surrounding areas. There was some "night-life" noise Saturday but nothing to complain about. The back deck faces the ocean and is perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset. The hot water never ran out, even with all five of us showering back to back. The outdoor showers help keep sand to a minimum in the unit, although we did sweep it daily to walk around barefoot. The A/C works well. The appliances in the apartment for a quick meal, cup of coffee or just some snacks with out having to venture far. Very relaxing spot, in a good location. We plan to visit again.
Our stay at the apartment was the perfect get away from everyday life. The apartment was nice and quiet with our own place to watch the sun rise and sun set. Another nice thing about the apartment is the food trailer that parks by it and the people that run it. The food was awesome and the company was even better. I can't tell you all the great things about this apartment you will just have to find out for yourself. My family will only stay at this apartment when we go back to visit.
This is the perfect rental for surfers looking to get away yet still maintain the comforts of home. Location is perfect right on Playa Jobos, an easy walk to surf and local eats. The apartment has two bedrooms and has plenty of room for 2 couples to vacation comfortably. There is a full kitchen and a grocery store with everything you could need close by as well as many great restuarants. The property owners go above and beyond in hospitality as well! They live next door and were available for anything we could have needed, from restaurant recommendations to board ding repair.The apartment was clean and the bed comfortable. I have already recommended this rental to all of our friends thinking about visiting Puerto Rico. Next time we visit, this will definitely be the rental we inquire about first!
I've been taking tropical vacations for more than 20 years, and I had the best vacation ever here at jobos beach.
What can be better than easy going and accommodating hosts, with a happy family, along with a walk over the dune to a fabulous beach for walking bogey boarding and surfing.
The apartment had everything anyone needs on vacation.
We are planning on many many returns!
My husband, son(21) and I spent a great week at this apt. in Jan. We were to arrive earlier, but a snowstorm in Charlotte delayed us 3 days...Amber was very understanding...and lucky for us..noone else expected til the next week!
Place was very clean..enjoyed the grill (charcoal provided)..was just a very short 1-2 minute walk to the beach..up a little hill,then down, with the great deck in between!...can walk both ways on the beach for miles...Econo grocery store 10 minutes west is the grocery store we bought all our food at...and beer & rum!
Amber & Peggy and all of their family were very helpful, and answered lots of questions! My son was very happy here, as had cable (English) and could be on his computer! But mostly he loved the ocean!
First of all the place was perfect for our trip. The apartment was clean and all amenities listed were there. You have private parking with a gate. The owners were super nice and helpful. Theres a private path to the beach in the backyard which made it easy to check the surf. We'd love to spend another trip with them!
Jobos Beach is a scenic, sandy beach excellent for swimming, snorkling, and surfing. Excellent restaurants are within walking distance which also offer entertainment at night. Horseback riding is available at nearby stables for guided tours on the beach. Nice ride for both beginners and more advanced riders. Scuba shop nearby which can teach scuba. This area is excellent for scuba diving for all skill levels. Whale watching is a fun pastime in the winter months.
There is a beautiful golf course 10 minutes from the apartment. Also in the nearby area is a waterpark open during the summer months. Camuy Caverns located in Arecibo are well worth the visit as is the Arecibo Observatory.

ClassicsOnline Home » BEETHOVEN: Piano Concertos Nos. 4 and 5
By youmike
I came across Arthur Schoonderwoerd by chance and I now have his fortepiano recordings of all the Beethoven cooncertos. The way in which all of them throw light on the way in which the composer might have heard his masterpieces is to say the least thought-provoking. I've got other modern performances of these works and it was only after hearing these that I started thinking about how modern piano builders have subtly changed what we expect to hear. It's not just the piano builders - we've been conditioned to expect performances by large orchestras.
Schoonderwoerd's Cristofori is a small group playing modern copies of period instruments. Apart from this set of Beethoven recordings, Schoonderwoerd has recorded popular Mozart concertos. Of course, one must bear in mind that there must be uncertaintity about what Beethoven, Mozart and other composers really wanted, but I think what makes such recordings so important is that they make the listener think and ask questions. Add to that technically excellent recordings and you have something to treasuremore....

Legendary Elonian Hero
I wanted to get Guardian done before Sunspear skills hit, and in case there's a heinous nerf that significantly changes the way the character plays. I don't think I'll try to max anything else out on him. Sort of like the idea of having a Paragon that totally mastered Elona, but nothing else.

Server Technology Introduces New PDU Power Pivot(TM) for Rackmount Data Centers
RENO, Nev., Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Server Technology, experts in producing the highest quality rackmount power distribution units and power monitoring solutions, announced today the PDU Power Pivot(TM), a patent-pending new data center PDU feature with a 90 degree rotatable power cord.
) "This is a huge leap forward in data center PDU innovation," said Brandon Ewing, president of Server Technology. "The PDU Power Pivot feature is a game changer for the data center industry. The flexibility that this innovation brings to the PDU market is remarkable - for installation and mounting options and for multiple racks and multiple facilities. We see data centers standardizing on the PDU Power Pivot feature going forward simply because of the flexibility and cost savings. This is a PDU that can adapt as a company grows or changes its data center," said Ewing.
The PDU Power Pivot is the latest in an almost 30-year history of power distribution innovation for Server Technology, a company well known as the inventor of the intelligent PDU. The PDU Power Pivot is unique in that instead of having a static power cord, it has a 90 degree rotatable cord that can be positioned in a variety of ways. "Whether your data center has a raised floor or an overhead busway or any other way to bring power to the rack, the PDU Power Pivot can rotate for optimal configuration. Plus it can install easily to support racks from multiple vendors," said Steve Hammond, product manager at Server Technology.
Secondary innovation in the PDU Power Pivot The PDU Power Pivot also has an LED screen with an "auto-flip" display that actually inverts depending on the position of the PDU. "The auto-flip display works just like your Smartphone so the customer doesn't have to tilt their head to read what's on the PDU," said Hammond. "When you combine the auto-flip display with the PDU Power Pivot, you really have a data center PDU that you can use anywhere," added Hammond.
The PDU Power Pivot will be offered initially in four new products: three new 30-outlet PDUs in the basic, metered and smart PDU categories and one 24-outlet switched PDU, offering on, off and reboot capabilities.

Madison Southern running back Damien Harris, the nation's No. 1 running back in the 2015 recruiting class, tweeted Monday that he'll announce a top five Aug. 1 and then make his college choice Dec. 13 with plans to enroll at the school he picks in January.
Alabama and Ohio State seem to be the projected leaders for Harris with Kentucky, Michigan and Oregon other potential top five schools.
Harris just called off recruiting trips to Ohio State for its Friday Night Lights and to Michigan for its big BBQ Weekend because of conflicts with his team's practice schedule.
Kentucky could get a boost with Harris if Cincinnati offensive tackle George Brown picks the Cats over Florida Friday as recent UK commit Kei Beckham of Ohio thinks he will.
Young honored: Lafayette junior offensive lineman Landon Young has been named the Gatorade Kentucky Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year.
The 6-7, 265-pound Young, a four-star prospect, won the Class AAA shot put with a throw of 55 feet, 3.5 inches and threw the discus 169-5 to also take the state championship.
He was the 2013 USATF National Junior Olympics Track & Field Championships runner-up in both the shot and the discus
Young is such a versatile athlete that he also finished fourth at this year's state wrestling meet in the 285-pound class.
Young shine off the field as well as he is a Future Farmers of America chapter officer and belongs to the Beta Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He also has volunteered as an assistant to an autistic child at his church.
Tryouts: Thirty-three players, including several that are Kentucky targets, are scheduled to take the court Thursday in Colorado Springs to vie for a roster spot on the USA Men's Under 17 World Championship Team. Finalists for the team are expected to be announced on Saturday and the 12-member squad will be named prior to Aug. 1.
The World Championship, hosted Aug. 8-16 by Dubai, United Arab Emirates, will feature 16 national teams that qualified through their FIBA zone tournaments.

Rising prices could force district to reconsider cleaner fuel
Staff Writer
OCEANSIDE -- Rising natural gas prices could force Oceanside school bus officials to choose between a bus fuel that's friendly to the environment and one that's friendlier to the district's pocketbook.
The Oceanside Unified School District began fueling some buses in 1996 with compressed natural gas -- a liquid form of the gas used for heating and cooking in homes -- as a cleaner fuel for school buses, which traditionally run on diesel fuel.
But natural gas prices have more than doubled in less than a year, and district administrators -- who this week approved spending an extra $100,000 to keep the district's 23 natural gas buses running -- are starting to wonder if they should continue to buy buses that burn the more expensive fuel.
"At some point we'll have to make a decision about whether to go forward and buy more natural gas-burning buses," said district transportation chief John Farr. The district ordered three new natural gas-burning buses several months ago, but administrators said high gas prices may prevent them from ordering any more.
Natural gas is the latest fuel source to be hit by skyrocketing prices, following steady increases in electricity and gasoline prices in the past year.
In July, natural gas cost the district $0.77 per unit. This winter, that price jumped to $1.60 per unit. One unit of natural gas -- called a therm -- provides about as much power as a gallon of diesel fuel, Farr said.
Diesel fuel, which powers the rest of the district's 82 buses, costs about $1.15 per gallon.
"Last summer, natural gas was a cheap, clean alternative to diesel, but not anymore," Farr said. "It's still cleaner, but it's not inexpensive anymore."
The school district -- along with most California consumers -- has been at the mercy of a shaky market for fuel like electricity, gasoline and natural gas for several months. The district has been forced to add more than $400,000 to its power budget this year, bringing the total set-aside for natural gas and electricity to more than $3 million.
Even so, schools should not let rapidly rising natural gas prices force a knee-jerk reaction that could put the district a step in the wrong environmental direction, said Superintendent Ken Noonan.
"I don't want to react so quickly that we damage our efforts to go to cleaner fuel," Noonan said. "I know we can't sit the fence on this too long, but if and when the market stabilizes, we should take a good hard look at whether it's still feasible to keep buying natural gas buses.
"Until then, I think we should continue along with natural gas as it's appropriate."
Natural gas prices rise and fall each season, and prices could drop considerably in the next few months as temperatures rise and the demand for gas tapers off.
Traditional diesel exhaust contains more smog-causing carbon monoxide gas and dirt particles than natural gas, Farr said. Diesel companies are developing cleaner-burning bus fuel, but the district still uses the dirtier diesel, he said.

Feasibility Study for World's Fair Park Pedestrian Bridge
The Knoxville Museum of Art (KMA) consulted with Sasaki Associates in 2009 to create a vision plan that looked at new uses for the spaces around the museum and its connectivity to the neighborhood and adjacent City facilities. The goal of the feasibility study was to determine the viability of a proposed pedestrian connection from World's Fair Park to the Fort Sanders Neighborhood at 11th Street. This proposed connection includes several grade obstacles including a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks, with ADA accessibility to the park below, and a 15-foot elevation difference through the parking lot between KMA and 11th Street.
City officials and consultants presented a study of a possible World's Fair Park pedestrian bridge, and provide an opportunity for public comment and questions at a July 16th public meeting held at the L&N STEM Academy.
The consultant team included CDM Smith, CRJA and Sanders Pace Architecture.

Terrible New Pamela Geller Ad Redux
Metro-North riders have probably had their fill at this point
Earlier this week I wrote about the terrible new ads by Pamela Geller's organization–the American Freedom Defense Initiative–which debuted on San Francisco buses last weekend.
Today, the greater New York area is getting its dose of highly charged agitprop with the debut of AFDI's new Metro-North ads. This time, the ads maintain the blanket racism of the San Francisco ads, but also now feature a statistic!:
"19,250 Deadly Islamic Attacks Since 9/11/01 and counting.
Not Islamophobia, It's Islamorealism."
The ADL has already spoken out against the ad:
"Pro-Israel doesn't mean anti-Muslim. It is possible to support Israel without engaging in bigoted anti-Muslim and anti-Arab stereotypes."
Here's a short history of how Metro-North train stops became the bizarre battleground for a war of ideas about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Last month, Scroll Editor Emeritus Marc Tracy wrote about pro-Palestinian ads, which made their way to Metro-North stations and featured a number of historical distortions. These ads were later countered with pro-Israel messages about Palestinian rejectionism.
With AFDI's addition, the battle for the hearts and minds of the elusive Westchester County demographic can now rage on.

PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Receiving the herpes zoster vaccine was associated with a 55 percent reduced risk of developing shingles, according to a Kaiser Permanente study of 300,000 people that appears in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
This retrospective study observed the outcomes of the effectiveness of the herpes zoster vaccine in a large, diverse population of men and women ages 60 years and older. Researchers found a significant reduced risk of shingles across all sub-groups -- those who are healthy as well as those with chronic conditions including diabetes or heart, lung or kidney diseases.
These study findings differ from the clinical trial of the vaccine, which observed its effectiveness on 38,000 participants 60 years of age and older and found it less effective for people older than 75. This new study found a 55 percent reduced risk of shingles among both adults 60 years and older, as well as adults 75 years and older who received the vaccine.
These findings support Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations to offer the vaccine to eligible patients of all ages, including those over 75. Researchers note that additional examination of the vaccine's effect in the oldest group should continue. The herpes zoster vaccine was licensed in 2006, but uptake in the United States remains low: about 10 percent in 2009 in adults 60 years and older.
"Our study shows the vaccine has the potential to prevent tens of thousands of cases of shingles, a painful, lingering disease," said study lead author Hung Fu Tseng, PhD, MPH, a research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Department of Research & Evaluation in Pasadena, Calif. "We suggest clinicians follow the CDC's recommendations to talk to their patients about the option of vaccination against this serious condition."
There are more than 1 million episodes of shingles every ye

No lessons seem to have been learnt post-Dantewada (March 12). It is evident that Operation "Green Hunt" is faltering and that merely pushing in more men and arms to tackle what is clearly an organised and motivated insurgency is destined to fail. Enough has been said about the sense of disgruntlement and the perceived lack of a redress mechanism among the local populace that aids and feeds the Naxalite movement. The brutality exhibited by naxals following such attacks is a blot on our conscience.
Navin Muralidharan,
Such attacks are bound to demoralise our paramilitary forces. The political class must honour their sacrifices by ensuring that a watertight counter-insurgency strategy is put in place, as the Ministry of Home Affairs says that prima facie there appeared to have been a violation of the standard operating procedure ahead of this incident.
Ketan Rautela,
This is a clear act aimed to destabilise the security apparatus in left-wing extremism affected Chhattisgarh. There can only be two possible solutions. The government should invite Maoists to the dialogue table, help LWE States reap the benefits of social, political and economic growth and take defensive and offensive action with the cooperation of Central and State forces. The choice should be based on security prospects rather than political factors.
Mahesh M. Bhakthan,
Adoor, Kerala
Red terror is exacerbated by three kinds of state failure. Abdication by the state and the absence of an effective civilian administration in several tribal areas. The state as a predator, as in many parts where the law and order machinery is considered a source of insecurity leading to more alienation and inviting greater repression in return. And, the state's failure to be impartial in policing and politics. A solution to the problem can be based on the "Tripura model", from a State that has almost overcome a three-decade long war by synergistically working with development and coming down hard on extremists.

The nomadic city is not the trail of a past left as a tracing on the ground, it is the present that occupies, again and again, those segments of territory on wich the journey take place, that part of the landscape walked, perceived and experienced in the "hic et nunc" of the transhumance.

Product description
Four women--four friends--share a determination to stop a killer who has been stalking newlyweds in San Francisco. Each one holds a piece of the puzzle: Lindsay Boxer is a homicide inspector in the San Francisco Police Department, Claire Washburn is a medical examiner, Jill Bernhardt is an assistant D.A., and Cindy Thomas just started working the crime desk of the San Francisco Chronicle. But the usual procedures aren't bringing them any closer to stopping the killings. So these women form a Women's Murder Club to collaborate outside the box and pursue the case by sidestepping their bosses and giving each other a hand. The four women develop intense bonds as they pursue a killer whose crimes have stunned an entire city. Working together, they track down the most terrifying and unexpected killer they have ever encountered--before a shocking conclusion in which everything they knew turns out to be devastatingly wrong. Full of the breathtaking drama and unforgettable emotions for which James Patterson is famous, 1st to Die is the start of a blazingly fast-paced and sensationally entertaining series of crime thrillers.

Child prostitution: Raids rescue 105 young people
Irizarry said a multi-agency, cross-country effort was necessary because local police departments do not always have the resources to investigate tips about child sex trafficking.
Last year, five members of the Underground Gangster Crips contacted teens at school or through Facebook, DateHookUp.com or other online social networking sites, enticing the girls to use their looks to earn money through prostitution.
As for websites, Liz McDougall, the general counsel for Backpage.com, said that if that site were shut down to the advertisements in question, the information that can lead to the rescues would be lost to law enforcement because the ads would be pushed to "offshore uncooperative websites."
"We feel very strongly that we're doing the right thing, and we're going to continue to do the right thing and we congratulate the FBI and everybody with the task forces involved in the program," said McDougall.
In earlier sweeps, child prostitution victims have been recovered at major sporting events - including the NCAA Final Four and Super Bowl, Hosko said.
In the 1990s, gangs took control of street prostitution across America; that forced pimps to move girls into sporting events where security existed, said Dr. Lois Lee, founder and president of Children of the Night, a nonprofit group that has rescued 10,000 children from prostitution since 1979.
Hosko said the plight of the young people often goes unreported to authorities because the children in many instances are alienated from their families and are no longer in touch.
In Oakland, Calif., police Lt. Kevin Wiley said authorities are "always afraid" for the girls.
"They usually get into this because they are running away from something else," said Wiley. "You're trying to find out what brought them into this lifestyle in the first place. It goes way beyond law enforcement to solve this epidemic."
Pimps operate wherever vulnerable potential victims can be found. Some are being recruited right out of foster care facilities, Hosko said.
For the past decade, the FBI has been attacking the problem in partnership with a private group, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
John Ryan, the head of the center, called the problem "an escalating threat against America's children."
The Justice Department has estimated that nearly 450,000 children run away from home each year and that one-third of teens living on the street will be lured toward prostitution within 48 hours of leaving home.
Congress has introduced legislation that would require state law enforcement, foster care and child welfare programs to identify children lured into sex trafficking as victims of abuse and neglect eligible for protections and services.
"In much of the country today, if a girl is found in the custody of a so-called pimp she is not considered to be a victim of abuse, and that's just wrong and defies common sense," Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said during a Senate Finance Committee hearing last month. Wyden co-sponsored the legislation with Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.

Mkvs vs. mp4 from plex to roku
Posted 28 August 2012 - 02:25 AM
Posted 28 August 2012 - 03:13 AM
I was using a variety of formats originally for my viewing. After a lot of testing with these I decided that mp4 worked best for me.
I am in the process of converting my videos to mp4 and all new ones I encode to mp4.
They seem to work best with little or no hiccups.
I have had absolutely no major and very few minor problems with PLEX since about two months ago.
It just works.
Posted 28 August 2012 - 03:20 AM
I set up plex on a Zotac ad10 system below. I also set it up on my iMac with a core 2 duo. I have noted that the zotac cannot handle mkv files. It just freezes with the retrieving bar. The iMac handles it but for a few movies it does pause every few mins to load. Both seem to do better with mp4s. I am curious if mkvstake more processing power which is why I have this issue? Not sure if it matters but I have the roku xs.
I'm not the expert on this, but here are a few thoughts...
I'm going to be brutally honest. Your CPU is probably severely underpowered. GPU doesn't come into play on Linux. You can look at Passmark's site for relative comparisons of CPU performance. (Your Zotac's CPU = E-350.)
If your MKVs are using video and audio codecs that Roku likes for streaming, you should be getting a simple rewrapper operation which shouldn't burn a whole lot of CPU.
If you have subtitles and they aren't a format Roku likes, you're getting some degree of transcoding to play the STs. One of the experts will have to tell you how much.
My own experience with an Athlon 64 server (CPU gets low 600s at Passmark vs. E-350's low 700s) was that it did okay with SD video (usually Xvid in AVI wrappers). 720p (H264/AAC in MKV with SSA/ASS subtitles) were less stable, but watchable. 1080p (even without transcode) was better not attempted. After upgrading to an i5 (low 6700s at Passmark) I now have no burps even with my largest (very large) 1080p files or files that require subtitle transcoding (but they're H264 and AAC, so those should just rewrapper). I also dropped a wired network connection to the Roku instead of using Wifi, so don't ignore the possibility that your network performance may be part of your issue.
As always, your mileage may vary.
Again, not "the answer," but maybe some directions to look. Hope that helps.

And for what is is worth, I've had incredible success direct playing MP4 files on my Roku 2 XS. I can force direct play on files well above the "documented" specs for the Roku and they play perfectly.
Posted 28 August 2012 - 01:30 PM
Posted 31 August 2012 - 04:31 PM
Thank you in advance.
Posted 27 February 2013 - 08:18 AM
I think MP4 is better. It is the common video format for almost devices.
If you have some MKV files, you need convert MKV to MP4 with video converter.
Posted 24 October 2013 - 02:00 AM
I also have problems streaming MKVs. My PMS is a 3.0 GHz P4 with hyperthreading (yes I know it is quite old). It is reading MKVs off a NAS (both running @ 1GB). My clients are a Roku wireless G and two XBoxes (both hardwired at 100 MB). If I play the MKVs on any of these three clients I get VERY choppy response. If I convert them to a lower quality file I can get them to play fine. My question is where is the bottle neck? Is the PMS decoding the MKVs and sending them to the clients or does the clients decode the file?
Thank you in advance.
I have the same chip for mine, running Ubuntu 12.04 with 1gb of ram, seems to be ok, I run it headless and it seems to handle the MKV files ok but from what I am reading, sounds like mp4 is the best route.
Posted 24 October 2013 - 11:46 AM
If you are running an updated version of the Roku firmware and Plex channel, MKV or MP4 containers should not matter. They are both supported now officially from Roku. If you are having an issue with one container over another, it is most likely the contained audio/video/subtitles causing the issue and not container related at all.
Primary PMS: Ubuntu 12.04, AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5Ghz, 8GB ram
Storage: 3TB WD
Mobile Client: 1 x Samsung Galaxy S4, 1 x HTC One, 1 x ASUS TF101
Other Client: Roku 3
Posted 24 October 2013 - 05:16 PM
A couple of things; the Roku XS is pretty underpowered. The Roku 3 is a vastly superior box. One very important feature of the Roku 3 which is not on any of the other Rokus is dual-band wireless, which SHOULD be enough to consistently stream most 720p content without buffering. Any other Roku will likely need a wired connection if you try to watch any high bitrate content. I'm not sure about the current firmware of the XS, but the Roku 3 supports MKV via direct-play. I don't have any older Roku units to figure out if they have enabled direct play of mkv files via firmware update, but this is a pretty recent feature. There is one benefit to using MKV over mp4, and that is support for DTS audio passthrough. MP4 does not support DTS audio, so the best you can do in an MP4 file is AC3 5.1.
Posted 24 October 2013 - 05:33 PM

Please note that this thread is very old and in the information contained within it is no longer up to date. Roku added native MKV streaming in its last firmware update. That means MKV is just as good as MP4 for the newer Roku models.
Posted 25 October 2013 - 02:14 AM
I should point out that the Sky Now TV Box (a rebranded Roku LT) uses a customized v4 firmware which does not support native MKV streaming so if anyone uses one of these boxes like myself then you'll be better off remuxing MKV videos into an MP4 container. XMediaRecode will do this easily.

Pianist/vocalist Hamish Napier (Back of The Moon, Man's Ruin) and fiddler Adam Sutherland (Treacherous Orchestra, Session A9, Croft No. 5) have joined forces in a duo that explores material from traditional songs and tunes, to contemporary numbers, to their own compositions and improvisation. The duo's raw creativity and their outstanding musical intuition shines in this set up and performances display a kind of electricity and excitement inspired by the off-the-cuff nature of their arrangements, allowing them to highlight every nuance. Each performance is unique and demonstrates the incredible talent of two of Scotland's foremost musicians.
The musical partnership between Alasdair Fraser, long regarded as Scotland's premier fiddle ambassador, and the sizzlingly-talented young California cellist Natalie Haas is the fulfillment of a long-standing musical dream for Fraser, whose cutting-edge musical explorations took him full circle to find a cellist who could help him return the instrument to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music. The duo has toured together for over 15 years now and released four albums, performing frequently in Europe, and throughout the US and Canada. This is the second time the duo has performed at Celtic Colours.
