Auburn, AL (SportsNetwork.com) - Jordan Clarkson netted a team-high 20 points, as No. 21 Missouri earned a hard-fought 70-68 victory over Auburn on Saturday at Auburn Arena.
Earnest Ross supplied 16 points and seven rebounds, while Jabari Brown added 15 points for Missouri (13-2, 1-1 SEC), which bounced back from an overtime loss to Georgia in its conference opener.
"We showed great toughness," Missouri head coach Frank Haith said. "We played together through some adversity and foul trouble. I thought our guys really held their composure and made some big plays. "
KT Harrell led all scorers with 27 points, while Tahj Shamsid-Deen donated 13 points and six assists for Auburn (8-5, 0-2), which has dropped two straight on the heels of a four-game win streak.
With Auburn trailing 66-63 and just under 3 1/2 minutes left, Harrell finished a layup before Chris Denson followed a missed 3-pointer from Brown with a bucket inside to put the home team on top by one with 1:51 to play.
Ross hit two free throws on Missouri's next trip to put his team back on top before blocking a Harrell shot at the other end.
After the team's exchanged empty possessions, Ross added two more from the charity stripe to extend Missouri's lead, but Denson drew a foul at the other end to keep Auburn alive with five seconds left.
Denson drained the first free throw and purposely missed the second, but Missouri's Torren Jones corralled the defensive rebound.
However, Jones' foot touched the baseline after he secured the board, giving the ball back to Auburn with 2.9 seconds left.
The opportunity went to waste, though, as Shamsid-Deen's inbounds pass was tipped away, allowing Missouri to escape with the win.
"When it matters the most, in those key moments, your execution has got be at its highest, and in those key moments, those last three or four possessions, our execution was at its lowest in this game," Auburn head coach Tony Barbee admitted.
A back-and-forth first half found Auburn clinging to a 30-25 edge late in the frame before Missouri closed the stanza on an 8-0 surge, capped by Brown's 3- pointer, to take a 33-30 lead into the break.
The teams exchanged buckets from there until Missouri used a 7-0 sprint, capped by Harrell's triple, to grab a 46-44 lead with 12:40 to play.
Missouri's margin was 51-48 just over two minutes later before Auburn ripped off eight straight points to grab a five-point lead with 8:13 left.
Alex Thompson's trey with 5:21 remaining brought the home team within 64-63.
Auburn dropped to 8-2 at home this season ... Denson scored 11 points for
Auburn ... Jones finished with 11 rebounds and four points ... Auburn shot
53.8 percent (14-of-26) from the free throw line ... Missouri won the
rebounding battle, 44-28.

Recording A/V from youtube
I'm having problems recording quality audio from youtube feeds using an iMac with QuickTime. The video can be recorded with reasonable quality using QuickTime v10 "screen recording" function. The audio however has to be looped from the headset output into the audio input jacks and the headset output does not impedance match the line input with the resulting audio distortion.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
TubeTV....free download...grabs youtube videos completely, even converts them to iPod, iPhone, and Apple TV formats, and will even put them directly into a playlist in iTunes.
Thanks for the tip.
Open up Safari, then navigate to the YouTube video you want to download. Click on Window>Activity and look for the part of the page that is the largest (usually like 15-20MB) and double-click it. It should start to download.

Doctoral Candidate in Anthropology & History
1029 Tisch Hall, Ann Arbor MI 48109-1003
My dissertation explores the transformations of popular political culture in the Cuban region of Oriente throughout the long nineteenth century. Through this regional study, I examine the formation of inter-Caribbean and Afro-disaporic political, economic, and kinship networks in the wake of the Haitian Revolution. Drawing on political correspondence, notarial records, and judicial cases from twenty archival repositories, located in Cuba, Spain, and the U.S., I argue that the arrival of refugees from St.-Domingue to Santiago in 1803, and their back-and-forths between Cuba, New Orleans, and Haiti lay the foundation for highly cosmopolitan popular political culture strands, some of which were overtly anti-slavery and some of which sought to promote the rights of free people of color, while still others sought to do both. I suggest that memories of the Haitian Revolution played a key role in these political culture strands well into the late nineteenth century and informed the diplomatic ties that some of the pro-independence insurgents from Santiago established with Haitian political and intellectual figures during the Ten Years' War. My research also traces the continuities and disjunctures between the intellectual and military visions of pan-Caribbeanism that emerged during the Cuban War of Independence and the popular political culture of the city of Santiago de Cuba and its surrounding plantations.

In the transmitter of a data communication system using QAM, a plurality of trellis coders with delay units are used for forward error correction. The output of each encoder is modulated using QAM to generate sequential baud signal elements. The redundant data bits generated are distributed among several non-consecutive bauds. At the receiver a distributed convolutional decoder individually addressed having sectioned memory elements is utilized to decode the received signal element. The distributed trellis decoder is self-synchronizing.
1. A receiver for receiving trellis encoded signals with baud periods, bits corresponding to a first baud period being interleaved with bits corresponding to subsequent k baud periods, k being larger than 2, comprising:
a. demodulating means for converting the received signals into demodulated signals, said received signals having been generated by a circuit comprising a plurality of trellis encoders, each trellis encoder having an input for receiving a certain number of plain text bits in a single baud period, each trellis encoder having means for delaying at least some of said plain text bits so that they can be outputted and combined with bits outputted from one or more other trellis encoders during single baus periods;
b. decoder means for decoding said demodulated signals into binary signals; and
c. a trellis decoder for decoding said binary signals including:
( 1) a branch decoder for generating a set of possible points based on a group of said binary signals;
(2) a temporary memory for storing said set of possible points;
(3) path metric and path pointer memory means for storing constants;
(4) a trace back memory to trace a trellis path;
(5) a final decoder for generating plain text bits based on said set of points, said constant and said trellis path; and
(6) said temporary, path metric, and path data pointer memories being partitioned into k memory sections, each corresponding memory section being activated simultaneously.
2. The decoder of claim 4 further comprising a switch and index address circuit for sequentially addressing the corresponding sections of said memories.
3. The decoder of claim 2 further comprising a ring counter means for enabling said switch and index address circuit in accordance with the baud period of said received signals.
The subject matter of this application is related to U.S. applications Ser. No. 707,084 entitled Distributed Trellis Encoder, and Ser. No. 707,085 entitled Self-Synchronizing Interleaver for Viterbi Decoder Used in Wireline Modems, filed on even date herewith and incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of Invention
This invention pertains to an apparatus and method of encoding binary bits and more particularly to a method and apparatus for making use of a forward error correction scheme for a reduced number of errors at a given signal-to-noise ratio.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Communication networks using high speed data rates require high signal-to-noise ratios for proper data transmission. Numerous schemes and combinations thereof have been proposed to reduce the number of errors at these given signal-to-noise ratios. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,077,021 to Csajka et al a forward error correcting scheme is described making use of the so-called Viterbi algorithm. In a further development described by the CCITT study group XVII, Contribution No. D180, in October, 1983, entitled TRELLIS-CODED MODULATION SCHEME WITH 8-STATE SYSTEMATIC ENCODER AND 90 SYMMETRY FOR USE IN DATA MODEMS TRANSMITTING 3-7 BITS PER MODULATION INTERVAL a two-dimensional trellis for a quadrature amplitude modulation scheme is disclosed having 90� symmetry which results in a 4 db gain in the signal-to-noise ratio. Typically, in forward error coding, redundant bits are added systematically to the data bits so that normally only predetermined transitions from one sequential group of bits (corresponding to bauds) to another are allowed. There is an inherent correlation between these redundant bits over consecutive bauds. At the receiver each baud is tentatively decoded and then analyzed based on past history, and the decoded bits are corrected if necessary. However, it was found that certain types of relatively long error signals, such as for example, low frequency phase jitter, cause a constant phase error in the signal constellation for extended (consecutive baud) periods of time. This type of error prevents or inhibits the correction of the received bits using the schemes described above.
A principal objective of the present invention is to provide a device and method for data communication in which the effects of long bursts of error signals such as low frequency phase jitter are minimized.
A further objective is to provide a method of adapting a standard modem to perform the subject method and to provide a method that is self-synchronizing.
Other objectives and advantages of the invention shall become apparent from the following description of the invention.
In the present invention the correlation of the redundant bits of different baud signals is distributed in time prior to encoding at the transmitter. A distributed trellis encoding scheme is used to obtain the redundant bits. At the receiver the received bauds are decoded using a plurality of distributed decoders which extract samples from multiple bauds for trellis decoding. The result is similar to that achieved by interleaving but avoids synchronization problems associated with the conventional complex interleaving processes.
FIG. 1 shows the elements of a data transmitter constructed in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 shows the elements of a receiver for receiving data from the transmitter of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 shows the elements of a distributed trellis decoder.
As shown in FIG. 1, a transmitter according to this invention comprises a randomizer 10 which receives serially a stream of data bits from DTE 12. The randomizer scrambles the bits in a preselected pattern and generates randomized bits on parallel output lines 14 identified as X1, X2, X3 and X4.
These output lines are fed by an electronic switching circuit 16 to a plurality of identical trellis encoders 18, 20, 22 and 24.
The electronic switching circuit 16 switches the signals from the randomizer 10 to one of the trellis encoders 18, 20, 22 and 24, in accordance with a baud clock signal generated by baud clock generator 26. In other words, for each baud period all the randomizer outputs X1, X2, X3 and X4 are fed to one of the encoders. Details of the trellis encoders 18, 20, 22 and 24 are shown in FIG. 2.
Each encoder comprises three delay units 28, 30 and 32 which are adapted to generate a delay of one baud period. The encoder further comprises three gates 34, 36 and 38. These gates may be for example XOR (exclusive -OR) gates.
The trellis encoder shown in FIG. 2 is well known in the art and need not be described any further. Preferably all the elements of the encoder are digital elements which are enabled by appropriate clocking signals from timing signal generator 40. The timing signal generator is enabled only when it receives an appropriate signal from switching circuit 16. Thus each encoder is active only when it is addressed by switching circuit 16. At all other times, the trellis encoders are idle.
Outputs Y0, Y1, X2, X3 and X4 are fed from the respective trellis encoders by a second electronic switching circuit 42 to QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) encoder 44. Switching circuit 42 is also enabled by baud clock generator 26 so that it operates simultaneously with switching circuit 16. QAM encoder 44 selects a point of a preselected signal constellation corresponding to the inputs from circuit 42 and generates an in-phase and a quadrature output signal corresponding to said point. These output signals are fed to a QAM modulator 46 which generates corresponding analog QAM signals having a baud period equal to the period of the signals generated by signal generator 26. The signals from modulator 46 are transmitted over a common data communication channel to a receiver.
In effect the bits of several consecutive signals are spaced out over several bauds by the distributed trellis encoders.
At the receiver, illustrated in FIG. 3, the incoming analog signals are demodulated by a QAM demodulator 48 which generates an in-phase and a quadrature signal which are fed to a QAM decoder 50. The QAM decoder 50 selects a point on the signal constellation closest to the actual point corresponding to the signals received from QAM demodulator 48. The bits corresponding to said point are sent to a trellis decoder 52.
As in most trellis decoders, the signals from the QAM decoder are fed into an error computer circuit 64 which generates an error signal based on previously received signals. This error signal is fed to a branch decoder 66. The branch decoder uses the trellis branch rules (predetermined in accordance with the Viterbi algorithm) to generate a set of possible points corresponding to the received point. These sets of points are stored in temporary memory 68. The decoder then searches through the points of the set to calculate the point with the smallest errors in accordance with appropriate constants stored in the path metric memory 70 and path pointer memory 72. The smallest error is used by trace back memory 74 to track back the last 4-16 bauds (in accordance with a preselected well-known scheme) to generate the final received point. The final received point of the set of points in memory 68 is fed to final decoder 76 as the received point.
However, in the present system, the bits from the receiver of FIG. 1 are distributed over k bauds. In order to compensate for this effect, the temporary memory 68, path metric memory 70 and path data pointer memory 72 are partitioned into k sections. Furthermore, a ring counter 54 is provided which effectively counts from 1 to k, each count period being equal to the baud period of signals received by QAM demodulator 48. The count from counter 54 is provided to a switch and address index circuit 82, which in response enables one of the sections of memories 68, 70 and 72 by generating an appropriate address signal and sequentially transmits the contents of the appropriate sections of the path metric memory 70 and path data pointer memory 72 to temporary memory 68 as required. As a result, trellis decoder 52 consequently decodes and de-interleaves the data bits. In effect, by sequentially enabling the different sections of memory elements 68, 70 and 72, the decoder takes the place of separate trellis decoders.
It can be seen from the above description that switching circuits 16 and 42 act as multiplexers while decoder 52 acts as a demultiplexer. The effect of this switching is to interleave the data bits at the transmitter across four bauds, and deinterleave these bits at the receiver. Obviously the trellis encoders are self-synchronized so that no synchronizing signals are needed between the transmitter and receiver
In the above description consecutive bits are interleaved across four bauds by using four distributed trellis encoders and the decoder. Obviously if more encoders and decoders are used k is increased to the number of bauds over which interleaving occurs increases.
It should be appreciated that the invention makes use of standard QAM encoders, modulators, decoders, demodulators and standard trellis encoders and decoders which are well known in the art. Furthermore, while baud clock generator is described as a separate element, in practice it can be incorporated in the QAM modulator. All the circuits of FIGS. 1 and 2 may be implemented by using a digital microprocessor.
Obviously, numerous modifications to the subject application may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

NEW ORLEANS—There are only three ways you can come down on the issue.
1. You believe Oklahoma State deserved to play LSU for the national title because it had a better season than Alabama.
2. You don't care about the Cowboys, you just can't stand the thought of the Tide playing for it all after they didn't even win their own division, let alone their conference. Besides, didn't they get their crack at the Tigers already?
3. Monday's title matchup is exactly as it should be.
Take a guess which position the Tide took on Thursday.
"We're very appreciative," All-American tackle Barrett Jones said. "At the same time, we feel like we deserve to be here."
SI: Old bowl system was imperfect, but it would be better than BCS mess
They're not apologizing—quite the opposite. That old chip-on-the-shoulder thing is in full effect.
"This is the most motivated (we've been) because a lot of people voted us out, didn't want us in this ballgame," star running back Trent Richardson said. "Monday night, we're going to show them why we should have been in this ballgame."
An emotional guy
If you're looking for a sign that Alabama is ready to play on Monday, keep an eye on AJ McCarron's arms. That's arms, not arm.
Asked what he could've done better in the first game vs. LSU, McCarron said, "I felt like I should have played the game with a little more emotion."
And that's where his arms come in. "He just kind of waves his arms around wildly" when he celebrates, Jones said. "There's no pattern."
The truth hurts
The Tide learned the hard way on Nov. 5 that they could be beaten. And beaten up. Not that LSU wasn't knocked around just as much in that 9-6 overtime slugfest.
"That's the most physical game I ever played in," wideout Marquis Maze said. "I was sore. Hurt. And hurt because we lost."
Not what you'd think
Coach Nick Saban wasn't too hard on his team after the LSU loss. If anything, he kept his attitude with his players mostly positive lest their morale slip.
"We were proud of them as a staff," offensive coordinator Jim McElwain said.
Two weeks later, not so much. That's when the Tide played listlessly in a 45-21 win vs. an FCS opponent, Georgia Southern. After which Saban absolutely lit into his players.
"He said some things I can't repeat," Maze said.
Quote of the day
"It was different. I mean, we have a strip (in Tuscaloosa), but we don't have a strip like that. Being in that environment is crazy because you see stuff that you've never seen before—and the people are partying on that street all day and all night." —Richardson's take on Bourbon Street, where dozens of players from both teams could be found late (but not crazy late) on Wednesday night.
— SI.com: Why the BCS is really despised
— On verge of greatness, LSU still detects disrespect
— Oddsmakers not taking LSU's win seriously, and neither is Bama

Video:Fix a Loose Kitchen Cabinet Doorwith Ami Young
Learn some simple hinge adjustment techniques to fix loose kitchen or bathroom cabinet doors.See Transcript
Transcript:Fix a Loose Kitchen Cabinet DoorHi! I'm Ami Young for About.com Home.
Today I'm going to show you how to fix those loose and jiggly cupboard doors on your kitchen or bathroom cabinets.
Tools NeededFor this repair, you're going to need a flat head or phillips head screwdriver. Now, the type of screwdriver you're going to need is really dependent on the type of screw you have holding your cabinet door to your cabinet. Today, we're going to use a phillips head screwdriver because, as you can see here, the top of our screw head is shaped like that of a crosshair. If it were shaped like one long groove in a straight line, then we'd need our flathead screwdriver.
Identifying the Looks HingeSo, the first thing we're going to do is swing our loose cabinet door open so we can see the inside brackets holding everything together. Then, I'm just going to give the door a little jiggle so I can see which hinge or hinges are loose.
Cabinet Hinge AlignmentNow, you can see here, the part of the bracket holding the door and cabinet together is a metal piece that slides underneath the screw head. This slider bracket is useful so when the screw is loosened, we can slide the cabinet door closer or further way from the cabinet to get the correct alignment for the door. Now, Im just going to slide the door up until it looks squared up with the rest of the cabinet.
Tightening Cabinet Door ScrewNow that I've got the door in place, I'm just going to go ahead and tighten the screw down with my screw driver. Remember the rule of thumb is Right for Tight, Left for Loose.
Alright, now that I have my screws tightened up and secured in place, I'm just going to close this door and make sure that it closes easily and hangs straight. Perfect!
Now, if your cabinet door still doesn't quite close correctly or isn't hanging straight, go ahead and loosen the screw and repeat these steps again until your cupboard door closes easily and looks like it's aligned correctly.
Thank you for watching! For more information, visit us on the Web at HomeGarden.About.com.

KOB Eyewitness 4's Chris Ramirez talked to an Albuquerque woman Monday who said contractors took $90,000 from her after she hired them to fix a house she owned, and Wednesday, he was on a mission to confront some of those contractors.
Marji Prefontaine bought the Northeast Heights home with plans to renovate and flip the house.
"We hired a guy who we thought was a licensed general contractor," Prefontaine said.
Last week, she wrote checks to start the work and handed them over to David Childers, who she thought was a licensed general contractor.
Prefontaine soon discovered Childers isn't licensed and demanded her money back.
She made the $60,000 check to Silverline Construction, and even though she demanded the money be returned, she has yet to see a dime.
A woman who answered the door at the residential address where Silverline Construction is registered said her son owns the company. When confronted by Ramirez, she said that "people were paid money to buy materials and stuff, and [Prefontaine] still won't talk to nobody."
When asked if her son planned on giving the money back, the woman dodged the question.
"I'm sure; I don't know. Don't be asking me questions because it's none of my business," the woman said. She went on to say KOB could not contact her son.
Marji also wrote a $25,000 check to DB Plumbing and Heating, which KOB called because it couldn't step onto the company's private property.
A man who answered the phone at the company said he was "in the middle of something" and asked KOB to call back. When pressed further, he failed to speak and hung up.
The Attorney General's office is now involved. Investigators there can file criminal charges if the money isn't returned.

NOLA Brew is on the rise!!!
I think the Saints did a good job so far in all the deals. Getting Vilma back was the biggest move they could of made. As far as Moore, yeah the guy is good, but think about it... Drew can make any average receiver look good. If he is an average WR that can run precise routes, Brees will make him shine!
Run to set up the pass = Wins!!!
You are so wrong, The Saints will win out!
There is nothing wrong with what Jeff is doing, you think you're the only person in NOLA who has had family there at one time?
It's great to see what they're doing with The Mortuary!

Roll Tulane Green Wave!!!
My brother in-law was coming in from a fishing trip, when they started to pull the boat up to the launch, another boat pulled up and the front was all beat up. One of the guys asked them to call the police because they just killed two guys.
From what they told my brother in law, It was there first time out in a boat and they took a turn and missed judged another boat that was coming the opposite way around the turn.
Very sad & tragic occurrence - My heart goes out to the families.
May they Rest In Peace!
I too was a long time childhood friend of Spence.
I have known him & his brother since we were little kids. We did so much growing up together and had many great times! He was a really great guy who just made a very bad choice at a time in grief.
I'm proud to say that I have many memories that I will cherish forever.
Thanks to all the people on here that made positive comments.

The law school will receive a lump-sum cash payment in 2020. The entire gift will go to the law school's scholarship endowment fund.
"I'm paying back a debt," says Rogers. "I came to SMU Law School unannounced, and without the scholarship, I wouldn't have made it. This gift is to help other people in need do what I was able to do."
Tog Rogers was born in Tyler. His father was an independent oilman, and their family moved several times when Tog was a boy. He attended the fourth grade in a one-room schoolhouse in Western Kentucky. But along the way, he became enamored with the law. He says he has so many memories about his time at SMU.
"In 1961, a group of us were meeting at the Lawyers Inn and we met Bobby Kennedy," he says. "We asked him if he would ever lie to a judge. He said, 'Of course I would, if it would help my mother.' We thought that was great."
Rogers clerked for Texas Supreme Court Justices Clyde Smith and Joe Greenhill. Rogers then spent several years as a lawyer at the law firm that is now known as Gardere.
"I was the 13th lawyer at the firm," he says. "I always thought I was pretty damn smart, but the lawyers I worked with there were very smart."
Rogers was in the firm's litigation practice, and he represented a handful of major celebrities. For example, he represented Mickey Mantle in a bankruptcy-related case in which a New Jersey bowling alley went belly up. Mantle was a part owner. For some reason, the bowling alley's lawyers put Mantle's naming rights in the deal, which the bankruptcy trustee saw as having great value.
"Mickey got me great seats to the game and I got to visit the dugout," Rogers recalls. "Those were great experiences."
In 1967, Rogers moved to Houston to become general counsel at Ridgway Blueprinting, a small, publicly traded company.
"Ridgway didn't trust me or anyone, and working for him was nearly impossible," he says. "The company was horribly managed. I told him during a meeting in New York one evening that I was quitting. The next morning, he made me president of the company."
A few years later, Rogers took Ridgway private and purchased the entire company. He sold it to ARC in 2000.
His education and training in law, Rogers says, helped him every step of the way as a business leader.
"Law school helps make you comfortable doing business and not having to worry that you are doing or saying the wrong thing," he says.

Actually the Detroit Lions will be picking Mr. Irrelevent. They have the last (255th) pick in the draft.

bdufrene, guess again. Ray Guy is not in the HOF.
Since he had admitted having a drink before returning to his house, shouldn't they have administered a breath test to see if he was driving under the influence from the restaurant to his house? Seems to me that would be illegal too.
spell check
longball you may want to check your stats. LA does not have the most players in the league. they are; California 198, Texas 173, Florida 169, Georgia 84, Ohio & Pennsylvania both have 65 and Louisiana 62. Also, Houston's population in the 2000 census was 1,953,631 not 7 million (Harris county was 3.9 million). As for the receiver with the most natural talent they have this guy named Colston. He put up alomst better numbers his rookie season than Henderson in his career. You talk about his potential, in the words of Jim Mora "potential means you haven't done it yet." This may be the year Saints cut him but it is yet to be seen.

Are the two of you talking about the apostrope following Saints when defense is mentioned? If you are it is being used to show plural possession. Saints being normally plural the apostrophe shows the possessio of said defense. While I don't think anyone would question if no apostrophe is used but the use is technically correct. BTW improper punctuation is not a typo.

saintfan - the last time the NFC South played the NFC North (2005) we had the Bears at home (Baton Rouge) that is why we are at Chicago this year. Still, did it have to be in December again?
brock - if you recall Anderson wasn't even their starting QB last year till week 2. Everyone was chalking up TB as 2 wins last year too. Two years ago everyone was chalking up the Saints as a "W" for their teams. IT has gotten hard to tell from year to year.
Based on last years records we have the 6th easiest schedule this year. Better than the last two years where we had the toughest.
Not only are they playing at Chicago again but it is in December again. What is it with the NFL schedule makers? Who you gotta pay to stop that madness?

Richard Linklater Explains His Secret Movie Boyhood
By Amy Nicholson
In every conceivable way, Somewhere represents a scaling back. Costuming was essentially a subplot in Marie Antoinette, and Milena Canonero's wardrobe design won a much-deserved Oscar accordingly. In Somewhere, Dorff has exactly three looks: a tuxedo in one scene, a post-shower towel in a couple of them, and a T-shirt and jeans through the rest of the film. And while the Chateau may be exclusive, it's hardly Versailles—Somewhere's production design aimed to present it with as little gloss as possible.
"When you make a movie, the attitude generally is just bring everything—every light, every stand, every tool, every lens—because that's just kind of the culture of movies: Have everything at hand, and then you won't be lacking for something," Roman Coppola says. "The vibe of Sofia's movie was one of being really intimate, and so we didn't want all that stuff, all the extra people and all the extra tools. If a guy had to ash his cigarette, he would just use the ashtray that was there, and if not, he would just use the glass from the kitchen cupboard, and if not, he'd just ash out the window. That was the attitude: naturalistic, authentic to that place."
But the biggest point of departure may be Somewhere's soundtrack. Marie Antoinette essentially plays out as a series of music videos set to period-imperfect source cues from Adam Ant and the Strokes. That sensibility—MTV-influenced but personal—has long been a Sofia Coppola trademark, dating back to the montages set to Heart singles in Virgin Suicides. Somewhere is short on both music and montage. It's her first film that prizes natural, diegetic sound—including music that's organically part of a scene, as in two sequences involving rent-a-strippers—over an artfully chosen, hipster-baiting soundtrack.
"I was getting kind of tired of movies that just have pop song after pop song as the score—I did that before," Coppola says. "I wanted to see how little we could use music." Some scenes are so quiet that sounds that otherwise would seem incidental almost boom on the soundtrack, as in a long take of Johnny in his hotel room, in which there's so little going on that the sound of his cigarette burning almost seems to echo.
"I found sitting there smoking a cigarette with nothing [to say] one of the most challenging things," Dorff says. "Because if I'm 'acting' for one second, the movie's done."
* * *
Somewhere is a film that asks us to pay non-withering attention to the ennui of the beautiful, rich and famous, made by a woman who is beautiful, rich and second-generation famous. That alone is enough to inspire knee-jerk negative reactions. When Somewhere won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival in September, where it was in competition against such formidable contenders as Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan and Kelly Reichardt's Meek's Cutoff, some journalists cried foul at the fact that the jury for the prize included Quentin Tarantino, whom Coppola dated briefly after divorcing Jonze and before taking up with Mars. (For her part, Sofia jokes that she would have assumed her past relationship with Tarantino would be a handicap, not a help.)
Some Somewhere critics complain that "nothing happens" in the movie; others suggest she should have gone further with the avant-garde inspirations, studio-subsidiary distributor be damned. Coppola also has been accused of treading familiar ground: the story of a man at a crisis point who has a relationship with a female 25 years his junior—in a luxury hotel? Again?
It's fair to point to Somewhere's resemblance to Lost In Translation, but the similarities between the films needn't be pejorative. Somewhere seems to systematically revisit certain scenes and elements of Translation, but it approaches them with added distance, wisdom and grace. A press-conference scene that existed to mock a brainless starlet in Translation has been refashioned in Somewhere to show sympathy for the celebrity. Both films deal with a very specific side effect of fame: the loneliness of being wanted by strangers, yet having no one to talk to. Translation leavens that loneliness with wry comedy and by offering its sad actor the hope of a quasi-romance. There's very little comedy in Somewhere, and in the world it describes, romantic relationships don't exist; women offer Johnny only easy sex and angry texts. If Johnny's complicated relationship with his preteen daughter is a temporary comfort, it's also a reminder of his inability to sustain a connection or make a commitment of any kind.
In both films, the big event is that the characters, self-obsessed and wound too tight, lose themselves in a moment that can't be sustained, but Translation and Somewhere milk ephemera for different emotional results. Lost In Translation's Rorschach-blot conclusion may be ambiguous, but it's undeniably exhilarating. At Somewhere's equally enigmatic end, Johnny makes a Big, Symbolic, Potentially Life-Changing Gesture that could lead to positive change—but for the moment, more than ever, he's rootless and utterly alone. The parallels between the two films point to their key difference: Coppola's increasingly mature point of view.

Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It
by Gary Taubes

Publisher: Anchor

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Building upon his critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Gary Taubes revisits the urgent question of what's making us fat—and how we can change.
He reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century—none more damaging or misguided than the "calories-in, calories-out" model of why we get fat—and the good science that has been ignored. He also answers the most persistent questions: Why are some people thin and others fat? What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods should we eat, and what foods should we avoid? Persuasive, straightforward, and practical, Why We Get Fat is an essential guide to nutrition and weight management.

He spent time in Brazil as a youngster and returned there as a member of the Society of Jesuits in 1641 alongside António Vieira and the son of the Marquis of Montalvão. Vasconcelos' history of the Jesuits in Brazil bears the distinction of being one of the most beautifully printed books of its time. It was also a subject of some controversy because Vasconcelos hypothesized that the earthly paradise was located in Brazil.

Report: State Prosecutors Have Divergent Views On Offender Sentencing Post-Realignment
Professor Robert Weisberg teams up with Professor David Ball of Santa Clara Law School to discuss the effects of realignment on sentencing length for The Daily Journal.
California prosecutors have divergent views on the sentencing of felony offenders who have been transferred to counties since the Legislature enacted a realignment of the criminal justice system, according to a Stanford report released this week.
Robert Weisberg, a professor at Stanford Law School and David Ball, a professor at Santa Clara Law School, surveyed 20 prosecutors' offices across the state and found that they often disagreed on the length of sentences for so-called "realigned" offenders. Realignment transferred responsibility for nonserious, nonviolent, nonsexual felons to counties in 2011.
Weisberg and Ball gave prosecutors hypotheticals of common "realigned" offenses and asked them what charge and sentence they would recommend.
The report also did not find any evidence that charging practices had changed since the enactment of realignment. The authors, however, lamented how difficult it was to get prosecutors to participate in the survey. Many, they said, refused to be involved. In one case, a prosecutors' office declined to be surveyed even after a high-ranking member of the office helped the authors refine the hypothetical scenarios given to prosecutors.
"This finding," they said, "underscores an important point: D.A.s undoubtedly have the most power and discretion in American criminal justice, and they have very little to gain from greater transparency."

The upcoming Ubisoft title Spartacus Legends has become the second game to receive an R18+ rating in Australia, following the introduction of the adult classification earlier this month.
Based on Starz Entertainment's original Spartacus television show, Spartacus Legends is a free-to-play title for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Its R18+ classification marks the first time a digital-only title has been given an adult rating in Australia, raising questions about the methodologies in place for policing distribution of age-appropriate digital content on home consoles.
Replying to a request for comment, a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCEA) said that both digital and disc-based games can be restricted by parental controls on the PlayStation 3.
"There are a number of parental controls in place," the spokesperson told GameSpot. "In terms of purchasing or playing online content on the PlayStation Network (PSN), at the time of account creation, you have to be over 18 to set up a PSN account. If a person is under 18, the requirement is that the parent sets up a Master Account for the PSN, and can then create a sub-account for the child. When setting up the sub-account, the sub-account holder will not be able to play any games online rated above their age."
Microsoft did not return a request for comment at the time of publication. However, the Xbox 360 does also feature parental controls.
According to Ubisoft, Spartacus Legends will let players experience the life of a gladiator, from practicing on training grounds to participating in battles in the arena. Players will be tasked with dismembering their foes, and will have thousands of weapon combinations and skill systems to use along the way.
Players will be able to fight as Spartacus, Crixus, or a user-created gladiator, and take part in fights with friends locally or via online multiplayer.
The Classification Board of Australia rated the game R18+ for "high-impact bloody violence". According to the classification listing, the game contains high-impact violence, moderate-impact themes, nudity, and language.
Spartacus Legends does not yet have a release date for Australia, but is due to be released in Q1 this year in the US.
UPDATE: Microsoft has responded to GameSpot's request for comment.
"Xbox Live can restrict content based on the user's account details," the publisher said. "Microsoft will do this for R18+ content."

Sources tell the Riverfront Times that if the Cardinals, picked by most to finish third in the National League's Central Division this year, aren't near the top of the standings at the All Star break, Tony La Russa's "Shadow Cardinals," as the Manhattan Project members have come to be known, will be brought in, the products of a revolutionary theory the Hall of Fame-bound manager has been tinkering with for eight years.
In the bowels of Busch Stadium before a game last summer, Tony La Russa could be found in his clubhouse office watching a Bonanza rerun on PAX, flanked by photos of Dwayne Murphy and Greg Luzinksi, former charges in Oakland and Chicago who developed a fondness for their shaggy-haired "genius" manager.
Ever since his arrival in St. Louis before the 1996 season, La Russa has exhibited a deep appreciation for old television shows and older players. And almost from the get-go, general manager Walt Jocketty and the Cardinals' front office have gone out of their way to indulge their field general, engaging in a series of trades of young talent for aging superstars aimed at bringing the proud franchise its first world title since 1982.
The transaction ledger speaks for itself: Eric Ludwick, T.J. Mathews and Blake Stein to the A's for Mark McGwire. Dmitri Young to the Reds for Jeff Brantley. Joe McEwing to the Reds for Jesse Orosco. Chris Richard and Mark Nussbeck to the Orioles for Mike Timlin. Luis Garcia and Coco Crisp to the Indians for Chuck Finley. Jared Blasdell and Jason Karnuth to the Cubs for Jeff Fassero. Justin Pope and Ben Julianel to the Yankees for Sterling Hitchcock. And, just ten days ago, Matt Duff to the Red Sox for Tony Womack.
In all cases, highly regarded young prospects were swapped for players past their prime. The result: The Cardinals now possess what may well be the most anemic minor-league system in all of baseball. And while the deal that sent J.D. Drew to the Braves during this off-season yielded two promising young arms in Jason Marquis and Adam Wainwright, the Birds' winter maneuvers did nothing to lower the organization's median age. Rather than invest in players in their prime, Jocketty served up big Benjamins to 36-year-old journeyman right fielder Reggie Sanders, tendered free agent offers to 33-year-old utility man John Mabry and oft-injured 32-year-old pitcher Alan Benes, traded for 34-year-old second baseman Womack and invited to camp 36-year-old Ray Lankford and 38-year-old strikeout king/slugger Greg Vaughn. The Cardinals are poised to open the season with Sanders (and perhaps Lankford) patrolling the outfield and the fragile Womack at second base.
"Their farm system is a running joke among rival scouts," says ESPN baseball analyst Rob Neyer. "It's just atrocious. That Hitchcock trade last summer really sealed it for me. Forking over two talented young pitchers for an aging, little-used, batting practice-caliber rent-a-pitcher -- and to the Yankees, no less? What the Cardinals seem to be trying to put together is a squad more equipped to win the old-timer's game in mid-July than the October Classic."
If that turns out to be the case round about Independence Day, enter the Shadow Cardinals.
After winning the NL's Central Division in La Russa's first year in St. Louis, the Cards sputtered to a fourth-place finish in 1997. It was then that the always-unconventional manager began noticing that his once cutting-edge tactics were being co-opted by his crafty rivals. Although La Russa persisted with his penchant for wrinkles (perhaps most famous among them his experiments with penciling his starting pitcher eighth in the batting order), clearly the playing field had leveled. In the wake of last season's disappointing third-place finish, Cardinals principal owner Bill DeWitt did not pick up the option on La Russa's contract for 2005 -- meaning the 2,009-game winner is technically a lame duck.
In the final year of his contract and approaching age 60, La Russa is taking the now-or-never approach to the extreme as he prepares to unveil a tremendously risky player-development theory that will ensure his status as one of the game's greatest revolutionaries -- or, if the gamble fails, as its most spectacular crackpot.
La Russa refined his methods over the years, picking the brains of stat hounds like Neyer. But as a source in the Cardinals front office tells the Riverfront Times, the manager's rejuvenation formula isn't solely a product of rotisserie-league chatter. Additionally, La Russa has become increasingly convinced of the cross-training benefits offered by Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. Two years ago, in fact, the manager made an off-season pilgrimage to Mysore, India, where he met extensively with legendary yoga master K. Pattabhi Jois, according to the front-office source.
"Jois told him that the older muscles get, the more dependable and open to maximum fortitude they become," the source relates. "But at the end of the day," he adds, "what you have is a Hall of Fame manager betting his legacy on some sunshine-daydream caprice. Tony's way out there with this idea. I know it's the last year of his contract and all, but come on."
Although Cardinals management is, to put it mildly, skeptical, La Russa's approach has earned at least one unlikely convert: Rob Neyer. While Neyer made his sports-columnist bones citing statistical chapter and verse to prove that the typical baseball player reaches his prime in his late twenties, the ESPN scribe is certain La Russa is on to something.

Chicago Bears Stun Dallas Cowboys with 27-20 Win
Posted on 19 Sep 2010 by Debbie Baratz.
With Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler's three touchdown passes today, the Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys 27-20 at Cowboy Stadium. I'm wondering who was more surprised by the win: Bears Nation or Dallas? The Bears are now 2-0 and the Cowboys, well, they're 0-2. This is the first time since 2006 since the Bears have been 2-0 and nine years since it's been a 0-2 start for Dallas. Is it...

Flacco disappoints as Ravens fall to Bengals
Posted on 19 Sep 2010 by Ian Anderson.
This was a frustrating game to watch if you are a Ravens fan. Joe Flacco couldn't settle down in the pocket and as a result threw 4 interceptions this afternoon en route to a 15-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Flacco did throw for one touchdown which is more than we can say for Bengals QB Carson Palmer, but it was Palmer who threw for more yards and got his team the win. Bengal's ...

Oregon's high powered offense had another big day at Autzen Stadium putting up 69 Points against the Vikings of Portland State. The Ducks knew going into this game that it wasn't going to be much of a challenge but they did know they still had to stay focused, and that's exactly what they did. Lamichael James had a career day rushing for 227 yards on only 14 carries and 2 Touchdowns. James's fi...

Better Late Than Never: Syracuse Pulls it Together and Beats Maine

Ryan Nassib passed for a record five touchdowns and Syracuse overcame a slow start to defeat Maine 38-14 in its home opener. Head coach Doug Marrone said SU would not fall into "the trap" and play poorly against its Division I-AA opponent, but early on, it seemed that was exactly what the Orange was doing. Plan and simple, SU played terrible football in the first half and especially in the ...

Advice about Sciences at BHS
|Questions & Advice
|More Advice
I'd like some advice from you parents whose high schoolers have gone through the progression of science classes at BHS. My son is a sophomore in BIHS and will be choosing his classes for next year very soon.
Currently he is enrolled in AP Chemistry. He chose that class largely because that was what his friends were choosing; however, he is interested in the sciences and is enjoying the class. He studies with a tutor weekly and got a C grade at the end of the first semester. My take on his grade is that the course material is challenging, but he could have put more time into studying. He does OK in math. His grade at the end of the semester was a B.
He has an interest in anatomy and was thinking about taking the anatomy and physiology class (it is an honors class in IB) next year. However, many of his friends want to take AP Biology next year as juniors, and then take honors Anatomy/Physiology in their senior year, so again, he is also considering doing what his friends are doing.
Do you think this is a good science progression, to take AP Bio before Anatomy/Physiology, or should he take Anatomy/Physiology first, if he is interested in it?
Also, my high school science progression (back in the mid-80s) was biology-chemistry-physics-AP level bio/chem/physics (I took AP Bio). It seems that BHS doesn't require physics. How important do you think it is for one to take a physics class before graduating from high school?
Thanks. BHS parent

Italy's Aviointeriors unveiled its "Ultralight28" economy class seat yesterday, a simplified derivative of its existing "Ultralight R" (reclining) short-haul product line.
The figure 28 stands for the minimum seat pitch (28in/71cm), which the design has been optimised for. Weight has been slashed by around 10% from 10kg (22lb) to 8.9kg per passenger by thinning out the seat padding, removing the recline mechanism and reducing the number of parts.
Kevlar panels have been employed to support the seat cushion and padded backrest, but the fundamental aluminium structure remains identical to the base model. The main structure has been brought forward to form the visible part on the side of the aisle seat. No plastic panels are employed to hide the construction, only two narrow rubber lines have been added that cover a number of screw heads.
However, the company is working to replace the complete aluminium structure with a carbon fibre construction. The target is to have this ready by the end of this year and cut the seat weight per passenger to somewhere between 5-6kg.

Out of necessity, cash strapped schools have for years been asking parents to cover some of the most basic classroom needs: craft supplies, a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird, an Algebra book.
But it turns out that is illegal and California school districts have until Friday to draw up procedures for parents to complain if they feel their school is charging them for educational activities.
The guidelines should provide parents and students a modified uniform complaint process so concerns can be resolved at the local level, without costly litigation.
The deadline was established in Assembly bill 1575 signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown last fall.

Philips SHO9560 cable
I've got Philips SHO9560 headphones. Unfortunately I'd lost my cable for them. In Support page there is question What should I do if I lose the connecting cable? The answer is to contact Support. In Russian support the answer was to buy a new headphones. Should I do it or could I get a new cable for my headphones?
Thank you. Olga.

Dear Olisska,
The FAQ is correct that it suggests you to go to local customer service. The reason is that the way we handle this may differ from country to country.
For your case, I'd like to know if your headphones are still under warranty. If this is out of warranty, then you may have to buy a new one through customer service; if this is within the warranty, then you should be able to get a replacement (for most of the countries).
Please advise and then I can check with the consumer care in Russia. Thank you.
Kind regards,
