Ringling Computer Animation Student Receives EA Scholarship
October 6, 2008 - Ringling Computer Animation senior Greg Hettinger has been awarded a $10,000 scholarship from Electronic Arts (EA) – the Randy Pausch Memorial Scholarship. Greg is one of only three interns this summer awarded a scholarship and was selected from over 100 interns nationwide who spent the summer working in EA studios around the country.
While at EA in Salt Lake this summer, Greg worked on various projects for Hasbro products that will appear on Nintendo Wii and DS games being released this fall. For these projects he had to model, texture, animate in-game characters, set up lighting, and composite final renders for cut scenes. He worked in a small group of animators whose main focus was the character animation in the game, as well as many other tasks.
When asked about his project and group experience at EA, Greg replied, "My biggest surprise was that the small group of animators all did more then just animate. EA Salt Lake is one of the smaller EA studios and that allows each person to be able to help out in multiple areas of production. The smaller studio size was really nice because it allowed me to meet most of the people that worked there."
Greg was assigned a mentor, who was also the lead animator, who showed him around the production pipeline and helped him with all of the projects he was given. There were large production meetings as well as smaller team meetings weekly to check on the status of each person's progress. By the end of the summer Greg was giving reports on what he did, just like the rest of the team. "Ringling really prepares you to be able to jump right into production and get to work. EA recognizes this and is really good about letting interns do work that has actual significance in their games. Knowing that others are depending on you and that gamers are going to see your work makes you work harder as an intern."
See EA's official press release at: http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS126979+21-Aug-2008+BW20080821.
About EA's Internship Program
EA's summer internship program is among the largest in the industry, hosting more than 200 students to work in studios around the world. The 12-week curriculum provides students with a broad overview of the game making process, as well as a solid foundation in specific functional areas like development and marketing.
Randy Pausch Memorial Scholarship
Randy Pausch is known for his development of the Alice software program - a free, open source object-oriented educational programming language. Alice uses a drag and drop interface to create computer animations using 3D models. Alice 3.0 is being underwritten by Electronic Arts.

(Apr 01, 2013) The major opposition party in Sri Lanka has criticized what it views as a flawed attempt by the government to amend the country's Electricity Act. (Sri Lanka Electricity Act, No. 20 of 2009, GAZETTE OF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF SRI LANKA (Apr. 8, 2009); Proposed Amendment to Electricity Act Will Leave Room for Corruption, Sri Lanka Oppostion Warns, COLOMBO PAGE (Mar. 14, 2013).)
According to the United National Party (UNP), the planned amendment will change procedures for government procurement in such a way that corrupt practices may more easily occur. Dr. Harsha de Silva, an economist and a member of Parliament from the UNP, noted that the proposal as it amends section 43 of the Act would eliminate the competitive tender procedure applicable to bids from foreign countries. In addition, he has raised the issue of the lack of transparency in the potential new procedure. (Proposed Amendment to Electricity Act Will Leave Room for Corruption, Sri Lanka Oppostion Warns, supra.)
Section 43 specifies that when a new electricity generating plant is planned or an existing plant is expanded, a call for tenders must be issued. Then the business licensed to run the plant should, with the consent of the relevant government commission, select the applicant offering to do the work for the lower cost, from among applications that are technically acceptable. (Sri Lanka Electricity Act, sec. 43, paras. 2-3.)
According to the Parliamentary Calendar, the proposal was discussed by the Consultative Committee on Power and Energy on March 19. (Parliament Calendar, The Parliament of Sri Lanka website (last visited Mar. 25, 2013).)

These particular Bach Mega Tone mouthpieces are gold-plated versions of the Bach Mega Tone Series. Gold plating provides a very comfortable and flexible feel, cannot tarnish or corrode and warms up faster than a silver plate.
Insist on a Genuine Bach Mouthpiece
Bach mouthpieces are designed to meet every conceivable playing need and have for nearly three quarters of a century. A Bach mouthpiece will make a poor instrument play well, a good instrument play better. Volume and excellent intonation, ease of response in the high and low register, rich, uniform timbre throughout the range, and resistance calculated to increase the player's endurance-these characteristics explain why professional artists choose Bach.

By STEPHEN BLOCHSalt Lake City
In a recent letter to the editor, Bill Barrett Corporation spokesman Jim Felton argued that full field development of the remarkable public lands in the West Tavaputs Plateau and greater Nine Mile Canyon area is the 'right thing' to do, given today's high price of energy.
Mr. Felton's argument boils down to this - either you're with us, or you're against us. Either you're for massive development of natural gas - no matter how poorly planned and how great the accompanying environmental damage - or you're for forcing fixed income families to choose between heating their home and putting food on the table. It's not that simple.
In reality, Barrett's proposed gas development in the West Tavaputs Plateau will not change the cost of heating your home but it will damage "the world's longest art gallery" - Nine Mile Canyon - and destroy some of the most remote, scenic, wildlife-rich areas of the state.
At a time of record industry profits - Bill Barrett Corporation reported on May 6th that its first quarter 2008 earnings doubled over those from last year - it is particularly disturbing to see this company laying blame for high energy prices on a lack of access to public lands.
In Utah alone, industry has roughly five million acres of BLM lands under lease, yet just over one million of those leased lands are in production. What's more, as Mr. Felton must know, there is precious little connection between Barrett's ability to drill more wells in the West Tavaputs Plateau and the price of natural gas for Utahns. We have every right to be skeptical of such claims.
The public comment period recently closed on Barrett's West Tavaputs Plateau and Nine Mile Canyon full field development plan. A number of groups representing a variety of interests formally expressed concerns about the project, including the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, the Nine Mile Canyon Coalition, and the Utah Guides and Outfitters.
In addition, over 53,000 Americans from across the country wrote, faxed or e-mailed the BLM to express concern regarding Barrett's plans. Many of them asked BLM to make the company do better in its development plans. They told BLM to make sure that the unique cultural sites in and around Nine Mile Canyon would be protected before allowing Barrett to proceed. They want to be able to share their experiences in Nine Mile Canyon, Desolation Canyon, and the West Tavaputs Plateau with their children and grandchildren and are concerned that given the pace of development, that won't happen.
The BLM will ultimately decide whether and to what extent lands in this area should be leased and whether and to what extent Barrett will be allowed to proceed in developing its leases in this area. Given the Bush administration's consistent pattern of allowing development to trump all other uses of the public lands, we are not optimistic. That's unfortunate because it is a privilege for private companies like Barrett to operate on public lands. Americans have every right to expect and demand that Barrett will be held to the highest standards.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A winter storm expected to drop up to two feet of snow on parts of Maine has prompted Gov. Paul LePage to close all state offices.
PHOTO GALLERY: Storm photos from around Maine
The Republican governor says all state government offices are closed on Thursday, but are expected to open on schedule on Friday.
The National Weather Service says the highest totals should fall across the foothills and into central portions of Maine. South and east facing slopes of mountains should also see more than a foot.
Gusty winds are expected to result in drifting and possibly power outages, although neither Central Maine Power not Bangor Hydro Electric Co. was reporting outages early Thursday.
The Maine Turnpike Authority at the request of state police has reduced the speed limit along the entire length of the highway to 45 miles per hour.

Okay, let's test your ability to read headlines and determine content. Here is the headline: Bigelow to Build Inflatable Room for the ISS.
What comes to mind? Bigelow Tea? Kathryn Bigelow? Try Bigelow Aerospace:
SpaceX, Boeing, Blue Origin, Sierra Nevada—some of the biggest names in aerospace, newcomers or old guard, are competing to build new spacecraft and rockets to carry astronauts to the International Space Station now that NASA no long flies the space shuttle. But Bigelow Aerospace, founded in 1998, actually wants to add on to the station itself.
The company builds inflatable orbital habitats, more like balloons than the angular metal modules that make up the space station. For years Bigelow has floated the far-out possibility of combining multiple inflatables to create a hotel in space—lodging for space tourists who aren't content to simply see the great beyond from the cabin of a plane. NASA, however, has recently announced it plans to Bigelow's inflatable rooms as add-ons for the ISS.
A SpaceX rocket would carry the first Bigelow Expendable Activity Module (BEAM) to the station in 2015.
Kathryn Bigelow, of course, is the director of: Near Dark, Point Break, Strange Days, The Weight of Water, K-19: The Widowmaker, The Hurt Locker, and Zero Dark Thirty.

ORLEANS–The Orleans Country Country Club could not have asked for better conditions for this year's Arthur Mandros Memorial Member/Guest Golf Tournament.
"It turned out to be a great event," said
O.C.C. Club Pro Horace Archer with a smile.
"We had two days of great weather and we had people who enjoyed themselves, had dinners and played great with great sportsmanship. What else can I say."
After a fantastic Saturday of action and another great round Sunday morning, the eight teams were divided into two flights for the shoot-out to determine the winners of the tournament.
ORLEANS–Horace Archer, the golf pro at the Orleans Country Club, did not take the unusual path to becoming a golf pro.
For him, turning a hobby into a full-time occupation happened later in life than many of today's professionals who head into college knowing they want to be involved in the game as a career.
"I was brought up as an engineer and I worked for twenty-five years for IBM after which I decided I needed to continue to be doing something before I die. I decided I should go into golf."
DERBY–Some athletes slow up their pace in the off-season. Some join travel teams and play sporadically, maybe twice a month with a few practices thrown in to keep the players sharp.
Members of the North Country Wrestling Club (North Country Wrestling Team during the season, as the club got back its' varsity status last season) prefer to take a different approach.
Instead of less, they prefer more.
As in five days a week, and we are more than three months away from wrestling season and over a month away from the next tournament on the schedule.
ORLEANS–The Annual Ranger Give & Go Basketball Camp is in full swing at the Don Harter Memorial Gymnasium.
The camp is run by the Lady Rangers head coach Mark Tinker, and has been going steady for nearly a decade.
"I started the camp when I took over the Varsity program here because I felt we needed something for the feeder program and I up and started it."
The camp is open to both boys and girls, and is split into two age groups; Campers in grades 3 through 5 attend in the morning and 6 through 8 in the afternoon.
It has been a busy summer at Dunlavey's Black Belt Academy, owned and operated by 7th Don Master Rick Dunlavey – highest ranking Master in the Northeast Kingdom. More than 40 of his Tae Kwon Do students participated in the Derby 4th of July Parade. The float, provided and driven by Gosselin Water Wells, held a host of Dragons (mostly aged 3-6) while the Tigers, adult students and family members, marched alongside. The students wowed the crowd with Kibon One throughout the route. Later in July, the school moved to a new location at 292 Shattuck Hill Road in Derby.
Thought you were competing only in a Triathlon? Wrong. We had an open water swim going on and we had some very, very strong swimming going on in Lake Seymour.
We may not have had the wherewithal to recognize you at the Award Ceremony, (our woodal machine broke down and we didn't have the times available yesterday afternoon). But all of you Aqua and Ollie and Swim Only participants were also in a swim competition (whether you knew it or not), and we are proud to announce the winners of the 3.5 mile Seymour Swim AND the 1.75 mile Seymour Swim.
Wrongway Joe Kurtz finds his way to being the top Aquaman, Laurie Hugg Threepeats, Daniel Soucy and Michelle Patrick claim the Ollie, Johnny Appleseed a/k/a Speedy Petee and Kristen Skulte take the Sprint. The Fresh Corn by Lee and Crew, The Crazy Good Music by Reckless Breakfast, and the wonderful good spirit everywhere were OUTSTANDING. Making it all happen: The battle hardened, IROC Staff and Hearty Volunteers (including another return by Julie Gunn), The Seymour Flotilla, and Lake Salem Association, ADA Flaggers, and the many, many wonderful sponsors of The Kingdom Summer Games 2012
NEWPORT–The North Country Heat Invitational Baseball Tournament took place this weekend at Gardner Park and the home team did not disapoint, going 4-0 to win the event.
"The tournament went really well," said Heat Coach Mike LaCourse. "We got to see some new players that played with us that we may see next year at the high school. It was a good opportunity for the players to be in different roles and in a different environment."
The North Country 15-U Heat will be hosting two teams this weekend for their summer baseball invitational tournament. The team will be looking to rebound from last year's tourney in which they bowed out in the semi-finals.
All games will be played at Gardner Park starting at 10:00 on Saturday morning and going through until Sunday evening.
There will also be a home run derby Saturday evening at 7:00.
DERBY–The staff at IROC is getting ready for Saturday's 5th Annual Kingdom Triathlon and Seymour Swim.
"We are expecting around one-hundred and fifty people this year," said Sue Engel.
The event draws people from all over the United States and internationally as well.
Staff members spent Thursday gathering materials in preparation for Friday's jaunt around the NEK to set up for the event.
There will be an early registration and sign in at IROC Friday from 1:00-7:00 PM and the "Crazy Nuts Dinner" that evening from 6:00-9:00 PM at the Eastside Restaurant.

i find out its different password for all computers. open keygen.exe up and shud have a box with 000000's under it. then open drmacro.exe and it shud say wrong password. it will then have lots of numbers below it
copy those into the keygen.exe box and the 000000's should change into numbers. then copy those into drmacro.exe and should work. double check though. once this is done you do not have to re enter password.
False. macros are not hacking at all. In no way do they alter any game's files.Originally Posted by kfckaykay
My logitech keyboard has 18 G keys all customizable...I can macro them to what ever they want.
If macros were a hack, why would a GAMING keyboard allow macros?
Now I realize, mine can only macro key combinations and the delays inbetween them and not do pixel searching and all that junk. but still, macroing is not hacking at all. They're two completely different things.
You really don't know what you're talking about at all obviously...hacking REQUIRES hacking programs, or the ability to change certain files in your game's folders. In the end, 90% of the time you NEED a program to RUN the hack(s) you made. Macroing is run off of a program that runs the set key combinations, mouse clicks, and a few other things (like pixel color searching). Macroing in no way alters any aspect of a game.
Not only does it seem like you're just talking out of your ass in hope that nobody notices you really have no idea, you also can't spell program worth a damn. Congrats =)

State senators meeting with St. Lawrence County legislators in Albany Thursday encouraged them to keep the dialog going with towns and villages on a distribution plan if the local sales tax is increased.
The discussion was both candid and informative, and included a description of the countys proposal to use its entire share of the sales tax increase to provide property tax relief for county residents, according to a statement from Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, on behalf of all those who attended the meeting. County leaders repeatedly assured the senators that the plan was realistic and workable, based on present assumptions.
Legislators want to increase the county sales tax from 3 to 4 percent, bringing the total - with the states 4 percent - to 8 percent. To convince state senators, the county produced a five-year plan showing how it could drop property taxes if it received the increase.
However, some of the countys towns and villages are unhappy with the 10 percent distribution the county has proposed they would receive from the increase.
The senators asked the legislators to continue the discussions to reach a consensus.
The county Board of Legislators will have a special meeting at 5:15 p.m. Monday to approve a resolution that it would use the additional sales tax for property tax relief if the assumptions within the five-year plan do not change. The resolution also requests home rule legislation from the state that would allow the county to raise its sales tax.

The Carbon High Boys Basketball team may have needed a quarter of play to get warmed up after the recent winter storm blew into the state on Tuesday.
After a slow start against Uintah, the Dinos finished fast scoring 44 points in the second half to get past Uintah 72-45.
The Dinos' offense was once again led by a team-high 21 points from senior Derek Young. Fellow senior Jordan Blanc added 19 points and a team-high 10 rebounds in the win.
Other notable performance from the game for the Dinos included:
Michael Peczuh who finished with 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals;
Wyatt Hansen had 8 points and 3 rebounds;
Dakota Cisneros had a game with plenty of numbers in the box score including 7 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 8 steals.
Another notable takeaway from the game was the Dinos' performance at the free throw line. The Dinos shot 24-of-28 (86 percent) from the line which helped keep the game in their favor.
The Dinos used a 22-6 scoring run in the third quarter to help get a 50-26 lead going into the fourth quarter.
With the win, Carbon (5-4) extended their winning streak to four games. After playing against strong opponents at the Bear River Classic Tournament in late November, the Dinos have been playing well as of late, scoring 65 points per game while allowing 52.7 points to opponents during the streak.
Carbon hosted Grand on Friday evening at home. Results from that game will be printed in Thursday's Sun Advocate.

Samaritan Medical Center has purchased the Magnetic Imaging Center building, 629 Washington St., for $825,000 to accommodate the revival of its neurosurgery practice.
Hospital spokeswoman Krista A. Kittle said the purchase, which was recorded Dec. 27 in the Jefferson County clerks office, is a wise investment considering the property will house the neurosurgery practice and be a source of income for Samaritan.
Magnetic Imaging Center will be leasing space from us, and upstairs will be dedicated to our neurosurgeons, Ms. Kittle said. We felt it was a wise decision not to lease space.
The 7,000-square-foot building is at Washington Street and Flower Avenue East, and was purchased from Washington Realty, Watertown. It is about one block from the main hospital, 830 Washington St.
The proximity to the hospital was attractive to physicians, Ms. Kittle said. Its important for those surgeons to be close to the hospital for surgery or emergency cases that come in.
She said she did not have lease agreement details to know how much the Magnetic Imaging Center would pay Samaritan to lease the first floor, where its current operations are.
The second floor previously was occupied by the practice of neurosurgeons Dr. John Krawchenko and Dr. Michael P. Owen. Since the practice closed more than a year ago, the hospital has searched for ways to fill the void it left behind. In November, the hospital contracted with five neurosurgeons from a practice associated with Upstate Medical University, Syracuse. Drs. David A. Carter, Lawrence S. Chin, Walter A. Hall, Fassil B. Mesfin and Craig T. Montgomery will fill in holes in the on-call rotations when the hospital hires permanent neurosurgeons.
Samaritan has identified two permanent neurosurgeon candidates and is in discussions with both to bring them here. The two full-timers will be based in Watertown, but also will be employed by the same practice as the five other contracted neurosurgeons.
Ms. Kittle said the first permanent recruit is expected to arrive here in April.
Since the building is in great condition, she said, only minor work such as painting needs to be done before the new practice opens.

Depression's not just in your head. The condition is characterized by periods of weeks at a time of a persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" mood, feelings of hopelessness, pessimism, guilt, worthlessness, and helplessness. Depressed people may find that they no longer get pleasure from or are interested in hobbies and activities that they once enjoyed. Over 20 million people in the United States are said to suffer from depression. In this segment, we'll talk about what the condition is and what can be done about it. Conventional therapies for depression involve medications and talk therapy, often used in combination. But is that approach the only way out of depression?

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) - Taking care of your health during the holiday season is often the last thing on the To Do list. Here's why even healthy people need to watch out for Holiday Heart Syndrome.
December can really throw our schedule off, you're not getting enough sleep so you drink caffeine to keep you going which dehydrates you, and you may be drinking more alcohol than usual.
Holiday Heart Syndrome is an irregular heartbeat lasting anywhere from an hour to 24 hours. It can make you think you're having a heart attack with symptoms like palpitations, nausea and sweating.
Dr. Darryl Elmouchi, an Electrophysiologist with Spectrum Health's Meijer Heart Center, stresses that too much alcohol is usually the trigger, "We all think of alcohol as being toxic to the liver and otherwise relatively benign, but it can be very toxic to the heart muscle and that's probably one of the things that leads to these fast heart rates."
Dr. Elmouchi says if this happens to you and it lasts longer than 24 hours you should seek emergency medical care.
Are you looking for some heart healthy gifts?
Here are some ideas for you:
For children, think about how to keep them active. Gifts like baseballs and bicycles, even a new sled can give them the exercise they need and help establish healthy habits for life.
For adults, why not some winter walking gear? Cardiologist Dr. Gina Lundberg says it will help to encourage them to stay active even in the cold months, "Not everybody's ready for an exercise program. Some people just need to start with walking. A great way to log how many steps you take a day is a pedometer. Ten-thousand steps a day is ideal, but you could start with a much lower number."
And if you've got someone who is really stressed out on your list, maybe some candles or a gift certificate for a massage or mani/pedi will really help them relax.
