Mission: CommSat Program
Program Goal(s): Set up geostationary array of communication satellites/probes for future missions, possible Kethane detection system.
Mission Objective: Prepare CommSat probes for launch
Mission Report: The CommSat construction is now underway. The first probe, CommSat1, has been mostly constructed and undergoing stress testing and operation tests, such as solar array function and antenna ability. Launch stages/tug stage still incomplete.
First of a series of perhaps 8 satellites! I'm hoping for at least two in polar orbit, so we'll see where this goes. Fingers crossed!

A Sacramento ex-convict who shot and killed a Rohnert Park man prosecutors believe was trying to rob a prostitute was sentenced Thursday to seven years in prison.
Berry Adams, 33, was found guilty of being a felon with a gun in the April 22, 2011, killing of Kevin "Ziggy" Craft, 20, at the Best Western Inn on Redwood Drive.
Early on, prosecutors ruled out bringing murder charges against Adams, a suspected pimp with a long criminal history. Evidence showed Adams acted in self-defense when Craft pulled a gun on him and the woman, said Bill Brockley, chief deputy district attorney.
Speaking before more than a dozen of Craft's friends and family members gathered for the sentencing, Adams said it came down to a choice of kill or be killed.
"If I didn't have possession of a firearm it would have been two dead bodies instead of one," said Adams, clad in a blue jail uniform.
Adams chafed at criticism from Craft's family members who suggested he acted cruelly by leaving Craft to bleed to death in the hotel parking lot.
"He's dead and I'm the bad person," Adams said.
Adams' comments followed emotional pleas from Craft's family. His sister, Camille Craft, told Adams her brother's "blood will always be on your hands." The father, Curtis Craft, called Adams a "sex trafficker."
Curtis Craft said he supported the charges because "25 percent of something is better than 100 percent of nothing."
In handing down his punishment, Judge Dana Simonds focused on Adams' past, which included five felony convictions and a two-year prison stint for a 2002 San Francisco burglary.

Luxurious Mashed Potatoes
You can make mashed potatoes up to 1 day ahead. Reheat at 350 degrees in a foil-covered baking dish for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- Yield: Serves 6
Source: Everyday Food, 2009
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- Coarse salt and ground pepper

Made this for Thanksgiving dinner this year and it's delicious. Simple and elegant. I can't wait to serve it. As far as the caloric load, honestly, who's eating this every day?
ssparrowk 9 Nov, 2013
This recipe is one of my favorites. I make it every year during the holidays. I use Jersey whole cream from the nearby dairy farm and farm churned butter.
john76b 18 Jan, 2013
Martha should be ashamed of herself for suggesting that people need to make mashed potatoes that have 53 grams of fat and 35 grams of saturated fat PER SERVING, which by the way is 68% and 175% of recommended Daily Values. One can make terrific, satisfying mashed potatos with a couple of pats of butter and low fat milk; I do it regularly. This over-indulgent recipe is why there is an epidemic of heart disease in our Western diet.
lauraf409 26 Nov, 2014
You should be ashamed for thinking people care about your superior preaching. It's a recipe. It's titled "luxurious" for a reason, dear. Perhaps you should focus on lightening your mood instead of your mashed potatoes recipe.

On a windswept promontory, this unusual late-Victorian property is one of Oregon's most remarkable bed-and-breakfasts, owned by the U.S. Forest Service and managed by two certified executive chefs. Steve Bursey and Michelle Korgan prepare a multicourse breakfast each morning, with seasonal offerings. Meals include herbs and produce from the Lightstation garden and highlight the best of Oregon: artisan cheeses, sausages, and house-made pastries. The nicest of the simply furnished rooms is the Mariner's, with a private bath and an awe-inspiring view. Filled with period detailing and antiques, the common areas are warm and inviting. If you're lucky, you may hear Rue, the resident ghost, in the night.

I hate scotch.
Somewhat surprised that the US out-drinks Mexico in tequila (though I guess Mexico out drinks-the US per person if I'm reading that right).
Actually, I've navigated both those streams for quite some years now.
Haha...I love both tea and bourbon. Just not together.

Alright i could only get a GeForce 9400GT 1GB. still battles seem to lag me on low quality...
heres my comp specs:AMD Athlod 7750 Dual Core 2.69GHz2GB RamGeforce 9400GT 1GB.
i think i should be able to run the game full graphics but i cant seem to do so for battles... any ideas why?
i'd suggest GTX250..mid-range card..which is a re-branded 9800GT 1gig ddr3.
Anyway, the best budget card would be the GTS220 or 240, the 220 runs at about 50 bucks and is a Very good budget card with good Overclocking capabilities, its also the card that is replacing the 9500 series cards.
The 240 is of course a step under the GTS250 so should also be a good choice.
Just make sure your powersupply can handle them.Also, keep in mind that TLR is more CPU bound then GPU, so a good mix of both will help greatly.
[Edited by DigitalIP, 12/16/2009 8:20:45 PM]And xDylan. the problem is your CPU, not the 9400.
[Edited by DigitalIP, 12/16/2009 8:23:02 PM]
Windows 7 64bit UltimateE7500 3.0ghz4GB RAM9800GT 1GB
running the game with maximum setting with 60+fps but i noticed the loading game is kind a slow it takes 7 to 16 seconds to load the fighting scene like when you encounter some enemies..but when i set to High others are low like shadow now the game takes 2 to 4 seconds
dude you were wrong there
Left 4 Dead and L4D 2Call of Duty Modern WarfareBioshockAssassins CreedBorderlandAlone in The Dark 5Dead SpaceRed Function GuerrillaGothic 3
are the games that runs on low end card like Geforce 7800 to max setting with decent FPS they require not much high end card
for Geforce 9800 / GTX / GTS 250 series you should compare it to these games here with Maximum Setting
Resident Evil 5 - 60+FPS on 9800GTRisen - 60+FPS on 9800GTFarCry 2 - 60+FPS on 9800GTFallout 3 - 60+FPS on 9800GTCRYSIS / Warhead - 30+FPS on 9800GTGTA4 - 30+FPS 9800GTThe Saboteur - 30+FPS on 9800GTBatman Arkham Asylum - runs great on 9800GT with PhYX on (Normal)
Agreed, the 240/250 If Possible is the way to go, either way though make sure your Powersupply can handle any card you get first.
The GT220 may work well also, its a great performer with good overclocking potential and doesnt require much power and is only about 50 bucks, its also the GPU thats replacing the 9500 series GPU. Remnant is also more CPU bound then GPU for the record.
[Edited by DigitalIP, 12/12/2009 7:49:08 AM]
u're right. GTS250 is the way to go. its a good mid-range card.

Chiefs Work Out Baylor's Phil Taylor
As the NFL Draft quickly approaches, the Kansas City Chiefs are making the rounds conducting private workouts. The latest, according to NFP was with Baylor NT Phil Taylor.
Taylor has six visits and five private workouts over the next few weeks.
Taylor is regarded as a rising prospect on draft boards, especially after the Senior Bowl where he shoved around blockers.
Taylor is a big, strong anchor at 6-foot-3, 334 pounds.
At the scouting combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 5.09 seconds and bench pressed 225 pounds 31 times.
Taylor recorded 62 tackles, seven for losses and two sacks last season and was named second-team All-Big 12.
We talked in depth about Taylor in recent weeks with the Chiefs still desperately in need for an anchor to their defensive line.
The more you hear about him, it doesn't seem that his past transgressions at Penn State are something that he brought with him to Baylor or would cause major concerns as a professional. As we know, Scott Pioli and Todd Haley hold character in high regard, so if Taylor is on the board when the Chiefs draft, it will be very curious to see if they feel he fits in Kansas City.

As deadline looms Derwent boss signs up to judge Small Projects
Simon Silver, heads of acquisitions, development and design at developer Derwent London, will judge this year's prestigious Small Projects Awards.
Silver, director at the influential developer since 1986, will sit alongside AJ deputy editor Rory Olcayto and another yet-to-be -revealed architect on the judging pane.
The deadline for this year's awards for the best under £250k scheme is tomorrow; so shake a leg and get those entries in (see box below for details).
Deadline this friday: AJ Small Projects Awards 2014
Send in your entry for this year's prestigious AJ Small Projects Awards by 13 December 2013
Tight budgets are no barrier to creative thinking, and the AJ Small Projects Awards are your chance to show the world what you can deliver with a contract budget of £250,000 or less.
All shortlisted entries will feature in two special February issues of the AJ and at a popular exhibition at The Building Centre. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to present their work at a top-level crit. All entries will be published in the AJ Buildings Library – valuable publicity for your practice.
We are pleased to have the support of Marley Eternit for the fourth year running. Paul Reed, sales and marketing director at Marley Eternit, said: 'The awards recognise that creativity is not necessarily associated with big budgets and give architects a platform to demonstrate the innovative and inspirational buildings they can design when working within shape, size or budgetary constraints.
'Year on year, we continue to be impressed by the creativity and originality of the designs and the ability of the architects to create smaller-budget buildings that truly stand out from the crowd.'
The AJ launched the Small Projects Awards in 1996 – originally for schemes with a budget of less than £150,000 – declaring: 'From home extensions to restaurants, offices to shops, architects all over the country are busy working on projects that may not make the headlines but nevertheless give a real indication of the design talent in Britain today.'
Philip Bintliff of Studio BAAD, who won the award 10 years ago and who was named among the 2013 finalists, said he again intended to enter. He said: 'Limited budgets demand invention and the shortlists are full of inspiration – often it is a first chance to be published for young practices. We were fortunate to win in 2003. That brought in enquiries for new work, raised our profile and helped with competitive pitches.'
Last year's winner, Laura Dewe Mathews, added: 'It is wonderful to have the professional recognition for work I'd invested so much in. As a consequence of winning the prize, the project has reached a significantly wider audience. There has been a lot of interest both in the project and in my work more generally, which has been really fantastic.'
How to enter
Projects should have a total contract value of less than £250,000 and have been completed between 1 January 2012 and 29 November 2013.
You will need to submit 150 words describing your project, along with at least eight photographs, five drawings and one working detail. Entry costs £60 + VAT. All entries must be made digitally via the AJBL. Email Tom Ravenscroft at firstname.lastname@example.com for a unique AJBL login.
DEADLINE: 13 December 2013

Workers remove the turf at M.M. Roberts Stadium last month. The turf was compromised after the EF4 tornado that hit the Pine Belt area on Feb. 10.

By mid-June, M.M. Roberts Stadium should boast the same playing surface put down at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and be ready well ahead of kickoff for the 2013 football season at Southern Miss.
"It's going to take us a little over a month, anywhere from four to six weeks to get it done," said Amy Champion, business development manager/southern territory for Hellas Sports Construction, Inc. "I think we're targeting June 14 or June 15 to get it complete."

The rain didn't dampen the spirit of Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who donned a green sweater and joined mom, dad and the kids in putting his "Irish" foot forward for the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in Bay Ridge.
Merrymakers kicked off the line of march in front of St. Patrick's Church, 95th Street and Fourth Avenue, jubilantly striding alongside a cornucopia of strolling minstrels, marching bands, and area youth and veteran groups in celebration of the national day of pride.
Dance troupes kept the hordes entertained as they executed fancy footwork while Emerald Society bands from the Police, Sanitation and Fire departments joined pipes and drums corps from across the city to provide a sweet serenade.
Grand Marshal Michael Connors, of Connors and Sullivan law firm, led the festive flock north along Fourth Avenue to Fifth Avenue and onto 59th Street for concluding rites at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church.
This year's jaunt was dedicated to late neighborhood stalwart Bridget McCready, who worked at such establishments as Peggy O'Neill's and Bally Bunion, and who succumbed to cancer in the past year.

Mississippi sent insurance plan to feds
Topics : Mississippi insurance exchange plan Mike Chaney
Despite being discouraged not to, Mississippi insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney sent the state's plan for an insurance exchange to the federal government as required by the Affordable Health Care Act, or Obamacare. Chaney has steadily worked to create the plan of an online marketplace for people to buy insurance despite pressure from Governor Phil Bryant to abandon it. States face a deadline of Friday to submit their plan or the federal government would set up the exchange for them. Louisiana sent a letter to the feds on Wednesday saying it will not set up an insurance exchange.

I love the smell of Lemon Pledge.
I love the smell of the acrylic when I am getting my nails done. And gasoline, perms and skunk.

We would be driving by some nasty skunk roadkill that you could smell a mile before you get there and Grandma would be like " stick your head out the window and breathe deep, it'll clear your sinuses"..no!!!
I have a super sniffer. That is the technical term for my sense of smell. I saw it on TDC. I always wondered why I like strong smells. If there is a gas leak or smoke I am the first one to smell it. I also have a super sense of taste which is why I am picky about what I eat. I also have great vision. If I could fly I would be a super hero.
thats awesome Dee i have a good sense of smell and there are some smells i cannot stand. like Lysol. i dont know why but the smell of Lysol makes me want to puke.
and i like the way gas smells, and this body wash i use.

Thank ya I had bllackened alligator not to long ago and it was so good!
I hit a skunk with ym car once.....that may have been one of the worst experiences of my life. The smell was sooo damn overpowering when I first hit it. My eyes were watering and I was gagging from how strong it was. Imagine 100 strong freshly cut onions in your car mixed with bad BO, and thats the effect it had.
I had my whole car detailed inside and out 2 times. Even with the undercarriage scrubbed and everything and it still stunk for a month plus! Ugh!

I have been looking into making my own synthetic quilt but have not found any information on how the edges of the insulation are sewn into the fabric. How are both sides of the quilt joined with the fabric to make a clean sewn edge?
just put the shell & liner right sides together with the insulation on top (not between fabric) sew 3 edges, then turn it inside out and sew the other.
Tim's got it, but you might want to trim the excess insulation from the outside edge of the seam before you turn the three pieces (2 shells and insulation) right-side-out. Also, hem the top edges of what will become the top of the quilt (thr head end) and form the drawstring casing as your first step - not the last. Also, you might want to sew around the 3 edges that form the sides and bottom, and part of the way around the fourth edge (the top with the casing), leaving an opening maybe 2 feet wide. That way, after you turn the quilt, it will be ready for the final stitches to close the opening through which it was turned right-side-out.

What is Gastritis?
Inflammation of the lining of the stomach wall gives rise to the burning pain in the upper mid abdomen area which we commonly call gastritis.
"I am feeling terrible, there is a pain in my lower chest, or I need to burp frequently" are these words familiar to you? How many of us would be saying I'm having gastritis today?
So, what exactly is gastritis? Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining in the stomach wall. When there is an inflammation going on obviously the abdominal wall lining will be irritated. This gives rise to the symptoms we call gastritis.
Initially you may just feel a discomfort in your upper mid abdominal region which is known as the epigastric area. Later on it will become burning in type. Sometimes you may feel a tightening feeling as well.
Associated with this will be nausea and vomiting.
Abdominal distention, belching, a feeling of being bloated-symptoms known as dyspepsia will also be noticed.
acute irritation of the stomach will also cause diarrhoea at times.
Commonest cause of chronic gastritis is stress. stress induces increased secretion of hydrochloric acid into our stomach which will slowly burn the lining.
Alcohol and drugs especially pain and inflammation reduction NSAIDS like Diclofenac sodium or Ibuprofen cause gastritis.
Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria which lives in our gut normally, when thee is inflammation of the gut taking place this bacteria can cause infections. This is also a cause of gastritis.
Other causes include diseases like chronic bile reflux and pernicious anaemia.
In acute gastritis symptoms develop suddenly. This may take place after alcohol or drugs.
In chronic gastritis there will be persistent low grade symptoms.
sometimes on top of low grade symptoms there may be severe attacks prompting you towards seeking medical attention
when gastritis persists for a long time the lining of the stomach wall becomes eroded and ulcers may develop. When erosion starts taking place one may notice passing of black tarry coloured stools which signifies bleeding or, may vomit blood. Medical attention should be sought immediately if this occurs.
Chronic gastritis will lead to ulcers and sometimes may even provoke malignant changes in the stomach.
Gastritis is confirmed by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Supporting evidence will be by demonstrating anaemia in the full blood count, occult blood in stools. and isolating H.pylori in the stools.
Simple gastritis can be treated with antacid preparations in the form of tablets or syrup brought over the counter.If the symptoms are persistent the nest line of treatment would be H2 receptor blockers like Famoticine or Ranintidine. Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, Rabeprazole offer more effective treatment. If H. pylori has been isolated antibiotic should be added to the treatment. along with drugs to control the acid secretion another drug is also prescribed to increase gut motility and reduce abdominal distension.
Prevention is better than cure. Prevent gastritis by minimizing stress in your life. Make time for relaxation daily.
Avoid spicy and oily food. Food containing yeast, like bread should also be avoided if you have gastritis. alcohol and NSAID drugs should never be taken. If you are aware that a certain drugs gives you gastritis, tell your doctor the nest time you see him for any other illness, so that he will not prescribe that antibiotic. Milk should be taken with care , as it can cause a rebound effect of symptoms though it may offer relief in the early stages.

Park comes from behind to win AJGA Junior Challenge Lee's birdie stretch gives her win at Oak Valley Golf Club
BEAUMONT, Calif. Luke Park of Fullerton, Calif., carded a 4-under-par 68 Thursday to win the AJGA Junior Challenge. In the Girls Division, Esther Lee fired a 5-under-par 67 for the second consecutive day to run away from the field at Oak Valley Golf Club
The AJGA Junior Challenge was a 54-hole stroke play event conducted by the American Junior Golf Association at Oak Valley Golf Club in Beaumont, Calif. The tournament field featured 102 boys and 42 girls from seven states and ten countries. The Boys Division played the par-72 course at 6,982 yards and the Girls Division played at 6,080 yards.
Park, who went 74-67-68 for a 7-under-par 209, began the day one stroke off the lead in a tie for fourth place, but birdied four of his final six holes to claim his first AJGA win.
After birdying Nos. 13 and 14, I knew I had figured out my swing and had a chance to win, Park said. It still hasn't hit me yet.
Shearn Chua of Beaumont, Calif., finished in second place, going 72-69-69 for a 6-under-par 210. Tied for third at 3-under-par 213 were John Lee of Los Alamitos, Calif., and Zecheng Dou of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. In fifth place were Lorens Chan of Honolulu, Sammy Cole of Aliso Viejo, Calif., and Andrew Namkoong of Villa Park, Calif., at 1-under-par 215.
Esther Lee began the day in a three-way tie for first place, but stood three shots back after seven holes. Lee went on to birdie Nos. 9 through 13 to separate herself from the field, finishing with an 8-under-par 208.
I've been working on my approach shots lately, said Lee after clinching her third AJGA win. Today I was able to get everything within 20 feet. It's a great way to end the summer.
Second-round leader Chieh Peng Shenzhen, China finished in second place, going 71-70-71 for a 4-under-par 212 tournament total.
First-round leader Raychelle Santos of La Quinta, Calif., finished in third place after shooting 69-74-71 for a 2-under-par 214.

This aerial photo shows part of the estimated 6 million pounds of smokeless explosive powder improperly stored at Explo Systems Inc., a munitions dismantling facility at Camp Minden at Doyline. (Photo courtesy of Louisiana state police)
Diego Reyes, 5, of Doyline, plays Dec. 1 outside a cabin at the Methodist Camp on Caney Lake in Minden. The ongoing transfer of an estimated 6 million pounds of improperly stored smokeless explosive powder at Explo Systems Inc. prompted a temporary and voluntary evacuation of nearby Doyline. (Jim Hudelson/The Times)
DOYLINE Annette Walker finally was able to put her Christmas tree up over the weekend, but there will be none of her family's usual outside lights and decorations.
That's because she, husband Roger and West Highland terrier Trixie spent the first week of December at Lake Bistineau State Park. They and hundreds of others were told to evacuate their Doyline homes while workers started moving about 6 million pounds of an explosive propellant powder improperly stored at Explo Systems Inc., a munitions dismantling facility at Camp Minden.
"Generally, we are all of the same state of mind," Walker said. "Those people need to go. They're not going to follow by the rules. They have not ever since they have been there, plus all of the things that have gone wrong. Something is wrong when they evacuate a town for a whole week."
Days after state police investigators discovered the powder, which was tightly stored in buildings and outdoors in cardboard containers, a class-action lawsuit was filed in Webster District Court in Minden.
Although Walker, 35, didn't attend a meeting Tuesday night at Doyline School pertaining to the petition, she said she plans to join in the filing.
"I think Explo needs to be held accountable," she said.
Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, the reservation's former tenant, "had incidents that happened, but none of it ever affected us," Walker said. "This company has been here 10 years, and this is the second time we've evacuated."
Explo Systems employees, under the supervision of state police, began moving the powder into bunkers Nov. 24. Thus far, authorities say, more than 3 million pounds have been stored in ATF-approved bunkers also known as magazines or igloos scattered throughout Camp Minden.
All the powder should fit into the bunkers, and none should have to be stored outdoors as some authorities previously thought, state police Troop G spokesman Matt Harris said. He estimated the materials transfer could take another two to three weeks.
Authorities have said it's unclear exactly what Explo Systems was planning to do with the improperly stored M6 propellant, although some experts say it can be used in the manufacturing of explosives in the mining industry.

|Associations of smoking and smoking cessation with CT-measured visceral obesity in 4,656 Korean men.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22728048 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVES: Although obesity is shown to be less common among current smokers than nonsmokers, the association between visceral obesity and smoking remains uncertain. METHODS: For this cross-sectional analysis, we recruited 4,656 Korean men of 19 to 79years who received a regular checkup at a health examination center between 2008 and 2010. Computed tomography was performed to measure the area of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT and SAT). We compared the mean VAT by multiple regression analysis across smoking status after adjusting for confounders. RESULTS: Both current and former smokers had more mean VAT than never smokers. Current smokers who consumed more than 20 cigarettes per day had 11% higher mean VAT than never smokers (p<0.01). Longer smoking duration, higher daily cigarette consumption before quitting, and shorter abstinence duration among ex-smokers were associated with increasing mean VAT (all p for trend<0.01). The mean VAT in former smokers was highest within 2years of abstinence. There was no significant difference of mean VAT between ex-smokers with>20years of abstinence duration and never smokers. CONCLUSION: Both current and former smoking is associated with increased VAT. The risk of visceral obesity is proportional to the degree of exposure to cigarette smoking.

Are there any nice THX receivers with AC-3 input that at least have component in and out? I want to get one to run my laserdisc player with. It seems as thought the stand along decoders cost almost as much as the older receivers I have found. I can't seem to find a receiver that decodes THX and AC-3. I would prefer a Pioneer Elite since most of my equipment is Pioneer but I am open to other good makes and models. One more thing what is a good projector to use with watching laserdiscs on? Thanks again! Paul Kepner

I originally ignored this thread, but...so did everybody else. You realize your "wants" are 15 years behind the times. Does your LD player not have digital output? If your doesn't, it has to be an extremely early one. Buy another one that does have digital output. If you REALLY want an analog input you will have to buy a holdover AVR from 2011 as "analog 6 channel" disappeared in 2012. Also what is your display? If you have an HD set, you probably don't even need the component out. If you have DVI, ignore the component output and buy an AVR with HDMI upconversion. More information on "what else you have" will go a long way in getting help. But just asking to accomodate a LD player that is(maybe???) Pre-digital is a bit much.

Thanks for replying schan. My laserdisc player is a LD/DVD combo. It has coax digital out, optical out, and AX-3 RF ourput. I already have all the nice modern updated equipment. I have a higher end Pioneer a/v receiver with plenty of HDMI inputs for all I have an more. I have a LG bluray player, Pioneer elite DVD player, xbox 360 a Mitsubishi diamond series 64" hdtv. My laserdisc player and discs are a hobby of mine. The reason I was asking about a receiver is because a nice AC-3 demodulator is around the same price as an older but still nice receiver. I know the Pioneer elite SC-09 has THX, HDMI and AC-3 input but it is a pain trying to find one so i was trying to find something that might be similar. Any help or advice would be awesome. Thanks, Paul Kepner

Since your LD/DVD player has, your choice even, digital output...an AC3 demodulator is a moot point. You don't need one. Send the 5.1 via the digital. As for component, since you already have a "lofty budget" (based on considering the SC09)...HDMI upconversion is a given. You are overthinking what you need. A modern AVR with its on-board DSP will accomplish everything an outboard modulator would.

By the way, all AC3 means is you have "stero surround"...meaning 5 channel. All the AC3 demodulator is for is for those people out there still holding onto their 15+ year old analog gear. You don't have 15 year old analog gear.

I'm also being "presumptive" here. Most "what hasn't made it to DVD yet" is all DTS encoded LD. AC3 Demod won't do anything for DTS anyway. Add to that the magic that DPLii does to the stereo track of LD to begin with... It is usually less expensive to replace your AC3 LD with the DVD than it is to buy the demodulator.

Paul, welcome to the forum. I was in the same boat you were a couple of years back. I had a ton of old criterion LDs that hadn't made it to DVD yet. It ended up being a pain always having to order equipment from Japan or Korea to keep up with everything. I eventually sold the LD combo player to a collector in South Korea, and off loaded the LDs to a local buyer; and have never looked back.

Project 24.2 Initial Review: Ritchey WCS Carbon Matrix C260 stem
See all of our Project 24.2 posts here!
For the most part, it's hard to get too excited about stems. If they do their job well (and most do), they're essentially unnoticeable. Of course, if they don't they're ugly, flexy, or (if they do their job especially poorly) fail catastrophically. That said, when we posted early word of Ritchey's new C260 line of stems this fall, people got pretty excited.
Owing to its 260 degree clamp and gently curved 3-bolt steerer clamp, Ritchey's WCS C260 stem tests 3-4x stronger in its aluminum form than any previous Ritchey stem- while being 30% stiffer than the preceding 4Axis design. Throw a unidirectional carbon wrap over the same basic design and weight goes up by ~15g (to an actual 110g in our 90mm size) and stiffness by an additional 16%. Oh, and it's prettier, too. After a couple of months on my Project 1.1 single speed and Project 24.2 race bike, has the C260 lived up to its light/strong/sexy billing? Hit the jump to find out…

Education: Employee Profiles
Annual Report - 2006-2007
Science Lessons
By Mary Jane Schier
Robin Fuchs-Young, Ph.D., contends "scientists are not born in graduate school" so young people must be inspired to consider careers in biomedical sciences as early as possible.
"Our future scientists are in the K-12 classrooms now, and we need to expose them to the importance of science and the many opportunities they have for rewarding careers," observes Fuchs-Young, associate professor in the Department of Carcinogenesis and director of the Community Outreach and Education Program (COEP) at M. D. Anderson's Virginia Harris Cockrell Cancer Research Center in Smithville, Texas.
Fuchs-Young is the first M. D. Anderson faculty member to receive a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to support comprehensive scientific education initiatives. She predicts the five-year, $750,000 grant awarded in 2007 will help "touch thousands of students, teachers and Smithville citizens for years to come."
The grant funds the Community Education Networks to Integrate Prevention of Environmental Disease that is tailoring health and science educational programs to the needs of rural students and teachers.
Fuchs-Young says the project is among many activities of M. D. Anderson's Community Outreach and Education Core, a component of the National Institutes of Health-funded Center for Research on Environmental Disease, which investigates environmental factors linked to human diseases and aims to develop methods to detect and prevent them.
"Although not all students participating in our programs will decide to pursue careers in science or medicine, they'll still benefit from gaining a greater understanding of scientific principles and concepts, which should allow them to make better decisions for themselves, their families and their communities," she says.
The new project will provide on-site field trips, hands-on classroom activities, mentoring opportunities and educational programs for Smithville-area residents. Some high school students can work as interns in the lab, while teachers can attend workshops and obtain assistance with science lessons.
In addition to the Howard Hughes grant, Fuchs-Young and the COEP also received a Short Term Educational Experiences for Research grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to support the summer undergraduate research program for college students.
Fuchs-Young joined M. D. Anderson in 1996 after four years at Eli Lilly and Company, where she helped develop raloxifene, an oral selective estrogen receptor modulator used to prevent osteoporosis and to reduce breast cancer incidence in women at high risk for the disease. Becoming COEP director in 1999 allowed her to combine her passion for teaching with research focused on the hormonal control of breast cancer.
The Art and Science of MentoringBy Mary Jane Schier
It has been more than two decades since Dean G. Tang, M.D., Ph.D., met the man who motivated him to become a scientist.
"I had a wonderful mentor while working on my master's degree in oncologic pathology at Wuhan University School of Medicine in China," Tang recalls. "Not only did he encourage me to pursue a scientific career, but he also made me realize the importance of mentoring."
Now an associate professor in the Department of Carcinogenesis at M. D. Anderson's Virginia Harris Cockrell Cancer Research Center in Smithville, Texas, Tang received the 2007 Robert M. Chamberlain Distinguished Mentor Award for teaching excellence. The award was created to honor Robert M. Chamberlain, Ph.D., professor and deputy chair of the Department of Epidemiology, and director of the National Cancer Institute-funded Cancer Prevention Education and Teaching Program.
Tang was chosen from 24 faculty members nominated by postdoctoral fellows. Tracy Costello, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Health Disparities Research and chair of M. D. Anderson's Postdoctoral Association, says Tang exemplifies the fundamental traits of good mentorship and epitomizes the award's "teach, coach, sponsor" motto.
After earning his medical degree at Tongji Medical University in China, Tang obtained his Ph.D. in cancer biology at Wayne State University Medical School in Detroit and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology at University College in London. Since joining M. D. Anderson in 2000, he has directly supervised 11 graduate students and 17 postdocs and trained three clinical fellows.
What are his secrets to being a good mentor?
"First and foremost, I try to set the example by being knowledgeable, working hard and demonstrating passion about my research. I also strive to be accessible to the students and postdocs, and I give them credit for helping solve scientific problems," explains Tang, who is proud to be an honorary professor at Wuhan University School of Medicine, the place where he learned the combined value of science and mentoring.
Tang's research involves identifying molecular markers that can be used to identify and target tumorigenic prostate cancer stem cells. His laboratory has developed several tissue-specific animal models to address stem cell-related issues.
When Difficult Concepts Become Clear
By Eileen A. Ellig
Erika Thompson was shocked to learn she had been named Staff Educator of the Year, but her students weren't surprised at all.
"We love working with Erika," say M. D. Anderson School of Health Sciences students Prince Otchere, Juma Kabanja and Jun Li of their mentor and teacher.
As manager of the DNA Analysis Facility, Thompson supervises the day-to-day operations of the core lab and assists principal investigators with their research projects, helping them carry out sophisticated DNA sequencing, genotyping and quantitative gene expression studies.
When Thompson's not sharing her expertise with investigators, she's sharing her knowledge with future allied health professionals interested in cytogenetics and molecular genetics.
One of the best things about working in her lab, her students say, is they get to do everything themselves.
"She walks you through the steps, but then everything from there you get to experience firsthand," says Otchere, who, along with Kabanja and Li, is pursuing a degree in molecular genetics technology, one of eight allied health programs offered at M. D. Anderson.
Another plus for these students is they get their own samples, which allows them to start a project from scratch and to generate their own results. Thompson says it's exciting "to see when they get a result for the first time and realize that what they did worked."
Thompson's interest in science goes way back to elementary school. Growing up in a "science household," she never really considered anything else, except becoming a doctor.
"I thought that's what I wanted to do, then I took some lab courses in college and realized I was happy in the lab and that's where I wanted to be," says Thompson, who taught clinical chemistry and clinical instrumentation while pursuing her master's degree at Florida International University.
Her students are glad she chose the lab, too, and happy to have the opportunity to work with Thompson.
Simply put, they say, "She's great."

Three die in Cape Flats shootingsComment on this story
Cape Town - Three people were shot dead in two incidents on the Cape Flats on Monday night.
The first incident occurred in Beacon Valley, Mitchells Plain, at about 6.30pm, when two men aged 18 and 24 were shot in a field near Hengelaar Street.
Their bodies were discovered by police, each with multiple gunshot wounds.
The men had not been identified by the time of publication.
"It is alleged that two suspects got out of an unidentified vehicle, approached the victims and fired several shots at them, fatally wounding them. Both were declared dead on the scene," said police spokesman Colonel Tembinkosi Kinana.
"The motive for the murders is still unknown and they are being investigated. No one has been arrested as yet."
Kinana asked anyone who witnessed the incident, or who had information about the whereabouts of the suspects, to contact Detective Constable Wesley Lombaard on 082 777 8076 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
Moegamat Hartly, a Beacon Valley resident for 33 years, said shooting, gangsterism, muggings and drug abuse in the area had got "out of control" in recent years.
"The last month or so, the shootings happen just about every day. And every week there are more dead bodies.
"It used to be a nice place to live. Now, we cannot go outside.
"I can't walk to the taxi rank without fearing for my life. Then, there are the neighbourhood children who play outside, and my wife who needs to go shopping. It is a constant fear for me."
In the second incident, Delft police attended a murder scene at around 7.10pm in Vlaeberg Close, where 36-year-old Eddie Adams was found lying in the street with several gunshot wounds to his body.
Kinana could not confirm whether the shootings were gang-related.

So here's the scoop: There was a meltdown last week in Gloversville, where rival ice cream truck operators got into a turf tiff. It seems Sno Cone Joe tried to chase Mr. Ding-A-Ling out of town, and two "Joe" operators ended up being charged with harassment and stalking after several heated confrontations.
Is this what it's come to?
It's certainly good reason why communities need to have firm laws in place to control roving sales. While banning the ice cream guy, as some communities have done, destroys a special part of summer that kids enjoy, controlling pugnacious peddlers is paramount.
One thing's for sure: It gives new meaning to the chant: "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream."

Posted by Praz on Nov 8th, 2010
We are gearing up to release some new footage of ORION: Prelude. We premiered a technology demonstration at this year's EuroGamer 2010 event that took place in London. When we first set out to build this we had been on an extremely tight schedule and we didn't have the time we would have hoped for to take on a task as large as this.
In those 30 days we were tasked with:
-Storyboarding and mood art for the cinematic.
-Creation of the environment.
-Creating all particle effects.
-Creating all props and materials.
-Hand crafting all animations for the players & dinosaurs.
-Outlining camera movement.
-Setting up the cameras.
-Capturing the footage.
-Editing the footage and compressing the footage.
-Creating the sound effects and soundtrack.
So we have taken it upon ourselves to give you the trailer that we wanted to premiere. This will be a remastered version of the NVIDIA / EuroGamer 2010 Trailer. It will have complete special effects, particle effects, brand new camera movements and plenty more.
Get ready for the EuroGamer 2010 Director's Cut. Coming Friday, November 12th, 2010. See you guys on Friday!

'Who is Fantomas' (23:30) in English
I feel a bit cheeky putting this review out when I have not yet completed my viewing - BUT I can say that I am enjoying every minute of Feuillade's fantasy miracle so far (I'm about 3/4's through). I will continue to report here on my impressions when I have completed.
In regards to the image it looks exceptionally good considering the age of the production (over 90 years ago!). Perhaps even superior to both my Region 1 issues of Les Vampires and Judex. There are, of course, damage marks and the upper portion of the frame displays a occasionally visible line (see first 2 large captures). Title cards and text frames have been redone - there is an explanation of a missing scene - musical accompaniment audio may only be 2 channel but it sounds fabulous. I see fine trailing in some scenes but I can only surmise that it is due to the frame rate adjustment. The intertitle (an incidental) translations are optional - so you can really get in the mood by removing them totally. I am very high on this DVD release and am recommending quite strongly to any who are keen. For silent or serial fans it is essential viewing.

Announced by the Port of Seattle:
The Port of Seattle has started work to clean-up Terminal 117 (T-117), a former industrial property and Superfund site along the Duwamish River, located in the South Park neighborhood. Since acquiring the property in 2000, the port has worked with the public, local organizations, and environmental partners to study and design a clean-up plan that will serve the community for decades to come. This project, in conjunction with the other Early Action cleanups, will reduce PCB contamination by half in the Duwamish.
"This adds to our ongoing efforts at clean-up on the Duwamish," said Tom Albro, Port of Seattle Commission President. "It is another example of how we are leading by example to make our port the greenest in the nation while promoting a healthy maritime industry that supports family wage jobs."
Community engagement is a cornerstone of cleaning up the Duwamish River. An office opened today in South Park to coordinate T-117 efforts and to maintain a neighborhood presence. Clean-up of the upland portions of the site has commenced, in-water work will begin in December, when the work will be less impactful to fish as well as tribal fishing.
The T-117 site, located on the west bank of the Lower Duwamish Waterway in South Park, is a joint cleanup project by the Port of Seattle and City of Seattle. This site was identified for cleanup because the upland property, river bank and sediments, and parts of the adjacent yards and streets have high concentrations of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), dioxin/furans and other contaminants. For more information, please visit the T-117 project website at: t117.com
Adjacent to the Port of Seattle T-117 project, The Boeing Company is actively removing sediment, restoring wildlife habitat, and creating intertidal wetlands at the historic Boeing Plant 2 site on the Duwamish. For more information, please visit:

California's growing green economy is the subject of yet another study. The University of California, Berkeley released a report last week that examined the state of green jobs throughout California. The report, which was mandated by the California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan, projects $11.2 billion in public and private investments in energy efficiency in the state by 2020. These investments could lead to the creation of 211,000 new jobs.
While the prospect of adding hundreds of thousands of new jobs in the state sounds ideal, the team at UC Berkeley are concerned about the quality of the energy efficiency upgrades being performed. The lack of a focus on quality work could actually derail job growth in the state.
The research team "warned that unless building codes and other regulations are enforced, quality standards are placed on contractors, skill certifications are required, and workers are rewarded for acquiring skills with higher wages, these quality problems will undermine efforts to achieve energy efficiency goals and to create good jobs for Californians. Job training is necessary, but not sufficient to improve quality." Source: UC Berkeley
In order to improve quality and support green job growth in the state, the research team made several recommendations including the need to define clear certification requirements, focus on making traditional trade occupations more green instead of creating new niche positions and supporting state-certified apprenticeships.
To learn more about the recommendations, download the report: California Workforce Education & Training Needs Assessment.

The Cavaliers won 66 games this year, there is no reason they shouldn't be able to perform in the playoffs if they were truly to win a ring this year. They stomped on the Pistons and the Hawks and everyone was saying they were the team to beat in the playoffs with their dominating performances. Even in Game 1 against the Magic , I found myself reeling when I saw the Magic down 16 at the half, I was like oh crap is it really going to happen again, are the Cavaliers about to rickroll another team in the playoffs, then it all changed. The whole team choked (this includes LeBron James as he does play for the Cavs right?), they slowly gave up the lead and this is where the leaders of the team failed, the Cavaliers were invincible to this point and then they begin to bleed. They bleed and bleed, but no one steps up to stop the bleeding. This is what happens when you create a monster that is bigger than itself, when it falls it knows not of how to recover. Their season went out the window when they were no longer humble in their victories, and I could smell the arrogance blowing out of the eastern winds of Ohio.
This team thought their ticket to the Promise Land had already been processed, and I laugh at their lack of preperation. Playing H-O-R-S-E all day while waiting for the Celtics against the Magic to end is not what makes champions, especially when I see so many flaws in Lebron's game that should be worked on during those extra days of rest. Why not be like Dwight Howard and improve your free throw shooting, it's definitely not at the level that it needs to be when you are the superstar. Maybe develop some better footwork when you are moving in a direction other than forward because he handles the ball as well as he handles sportsmanship. Maybe a post game, where with his height and sheer strength he could out-jump any player in the league with a fadeaway, and in the post he would be able to better draw the double team and get his teammates some better looks at the basket. Oh no, not Lebron James he is the King, he doesn't need to work on any aspect of his game because he is already the best, he is content with scoring 40-8-8 off of spot up shooting and driving it into the paint. Many of you may not have noticed, but the Magic dared Lebron to play with his back to the basket, yet he showed that he did not know how. Yes the Cavaliers as a team weren't talented enough to make it out of the Eastern Conference Finals, let alone win a ring, but if Lebron had a more developed basketball game rather than relying on his strength and athleticism, maybe he could have given his teammates some better looks at the basket.
People say that Dwight Howard has limited basketball ability, doesn't that sound like someone familiar to you? Any casual basketball player should be able to see the weaknesses in Lebron's game, I mean he puts up 28-8-8 in the regular season off of only a pull up three and dunks off of penetration or the fast break, imagine how good he could actually be if he had any other skills. That is why I can not call him the best basketball player in the league for the forseeable future, that statement is based off of his regular season averages and not his actual basketball ability. For the present, I shall continue to call him the best athlete in basketball, and nothing more.
I believe the Cavaliers could have gotten to the Finals with the squad that they had, why shouldn't I, they were the best team in the league this year remember? In the playoffs you are under the magnifying glass of the world, and only at that point, do the benefits of your skills really get displayed on the court. In Lebron's entire career, I have only seen him as a two-dimensional offensive player. Take it to the hole, or spot up and shoot. I'll tell you right now, I don't care what team is built around him, if he doesn't further develop his game or learn any new skills, he is set up for many more failures in the future. If he hasn't yet displayed a desire to get better as a basketball player, I hope this season is a wake up call for him. In fact, he should go watch the two games he played against the Lakers and Kobe Bryant this year, Kobe outsmarted and outplayed the self-proclaimed, King.
I believe the proper saying goes, Brains over 'bron.

Gateway teachers, district to meet Monday
While negotiations between Gateway School District teachers and officials are to continue next week, school director Chad Stubenbort asked both sides this week to consider teachers' current salaries.
"People have told me rumors are flying around as to how teachers are underpaid," Stubenbort said at Tuesday's school board meeting.
"I would just like to state some facts so that everyone can draw their own conclusion."
Gateway teachers were the third-highest paid in Allegheny County in the 2012-13 school year, with an average salary of about $78,300, according to Pennsylvania Department of Education records.
The countywide average last school year was $65,300.
Representatives from both sides said negotiations have centered on the amount of money the more than 300 teachers in the bargaining unit make and the district's contribution to health care benefits.
Neither district officials nor teachers would offer details about the most recent offer presented to teachers.
The two sides are to meet Monday, officials said.
Mike Krestar, president of the Gateway teachers union, said the union doesn't agree with how district officials have spent money.
School officials responded that maintenance projects are necessary for students' safety and educational environment.
"We have a few maintenance issues that are big-ticket issues that we need to account for," school director Neal Nola said Tuesday.
"We want to keep all the programs we have now and all the teachers we have now."
The teachers union rejected multiple contract proposals prior to October, when negotiations broke down, Nola said.
Teachers have been working under the terms of a contract that expired in August.
That contract called for a 2-percent pay increase for 2012-13, but teachers accepted a 1-percent increase that school year in exchange for a freeze on teacher furloughs.
In the meantime, yard signs that show support for Gateway teachers have started to appear in front of Monroeville and Pitcairn homes.
Krestar said Tuesday the Gateway Education Association "appreciates the community support that we are receiving during continued negotiations with the district …"
The yard signs, which read, "Friend of Gateway Teachers," were distributed by a group of Gateway teachers.
Stubenbort said signs are fitting, given the district's average teacher salary.
"I guess we're all friends of the Gateway teachers."

I suffer severe digestive upset with every meal I have, as to an on going laxative use. I had stripped my gut and intestines and colon from all good enzymes, biotics and flora. The intensity of my symptoms were extreme- 20- 60 minutes after eating anything- all symptoms includes severe gas, bloating, pain, distention and heartburn. I took my first two capsules of Essential Enzymes, about 8 minutes before my first meal .....an hour passed- no symptoms....another hour passed... IT WORKED WONDERS! My tummy is calm and serene. I use these along with Super Sup's Raw Probiotic 50 & Wiser. The combination is riveting! The Dr's never cured me with their ideas and medications, or should I say-- "Lack" of solutions. I am very happy with this product!
