MCLB-ALBANY -- Child abuse is a problem seen in every community.
Recognizing that the military community is not an exception to this, Albany's military installation is taking a stand against it.
Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany and local community officials observed National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month with a proclamation signing ceremony on the installation Thursday morning.
"The base is part of the local community," said Brenda Ray, health and prevention coordinator for Marine and Family Services on the base, of the significance of the Marine Corps being involved in the cause. "If you have cases in the community, you will likely have issues on the base.
"Along with other things, (those aboard MCLB-Albany) are dealing with the stress of being Marines, being parents, being away from families ... the list goes on and on. We have the same kind of issues here that the rest of the country has. Child abuse does touch the Marine Corps."
The ceremony, taking place in front of the base's Marine and Family Services Building, began with a fun run by MCLB-Albany and Marine Corps Logistics Command Marines.
The guest speaker for this year's observance was Albany Mayor Dorothy Hubbard.
"I am here because I believe it still takes a village to raise a child," the grandmother of six said. "We need to know what is happening to our children.
"No matter what the circumstances, it is wrong to mistreat any human being, especially children, because of how powerless they are."
The Georgia Department of Human Services gives definitions of child abuse and neglect. Physical abuse is considered "injury to a child under age 18 by a parent or caretaker, which results in bruises, welts, fractures, burns, cuts or internal injuries." Neglect is defined as "the failure of the parent or caretaker to see that the child is adequately supervised, fed, clothed, housed or provided medical care."
Sexual abuse is defined as "when a parent or other adult uses a child under age 18 for sexual stimulation." The department's website also notes that there is a subset of people mandated to report child abuse, a list that includes educators, therapists and school counselors, medical personnel as well as anyone else working in child welfare services.
"Historically, child abuse was not defined or recognized," Hubbard said. "....We have come a long way, and we hear of child abuses cases almost every day. Lawyers, judges (and others) are working full-time on child abuse these days.
"Child abuse is something we should not hide, and we should not be a party to it. It is a problem that will not go away; we must take some action to make sure it is stopped."
Hubbard also went on to say how actively preventing child abuse is part of one's obligation to society.
"We have a debt to society, and the more you pay, the more you owe," she said. "You can be an example for children and leave a legacy to follow. I am challenging to you to think of how you can impact our childrens' lives.
"Child abuse knows no racial boundaries or economic status. I am challenging you to use your knowledge as parents to recognize the signs of child abuse, host educational seminars and be a part of a community that fosters healthy children."
At the ceremony, there was a reading and signing of a proclamation as well as musical selections by the MCLB-Albany Child Development Center's pre-kindergarten class.
The theme for this year is "Preventing Child Maltreatment and Promoting Well-Being: A Network of Action." Thursday's event kicked off a month of educational activities aboard the base to promote child abuse awareness and prevention.
Statistics from the Georgia Court Appointed Special Advocates website shows that there are 207 child abuse and neglect incidents reported in the state daily. Seventy-seven Georgia children died from abuse and neglect in 2010.
Data from the same website also gives statistics on a national level, which show that the economic cost of child abuse is estimated to be $103 billion a year.
T_Paine 3 years, 7 months ago
Thank you to the Marine Base for holding this event. Child abuse is a very serious issue, and while there are 207 events that are reported daily, those numbers only account for the ones who get reported. Please treat your children with the love and care they deserve.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Ohio's Democratic incumbent and his GOP challenger focused much of their final U.S. Senate debate Thursday night on their differences on issues from abortion to the auto industry bailout, finally toning things down at the very end of their often-heated exchanges.
Sen. Sherrod Brown described himself as a fighter for the middle class and steadfast supporter of women's choice on abortion, while Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel said he would help economic growth with lower taxes and seek "common ground" on abortion. Both said the other had extreme positions on abortion, an issue drawing added attention this week nationally and in Ohio.
"Unlike Josh Mandel, I trust Ohio women to make their own decisions on their health care," said Brown, a first-term Democrat who said Mandel takes extreme positions such as opposing abortion without making exceptions for rape and incest.
Mandel said he would allow an abortion only to save a woman's life, and is strongly against any taxpayer dollars being used in abortion funding.
"Sherrod Brown is an extremist on this issue," said Mandel, who said he would focus on areas for "common ground" such as making the legal process for adoption easier.
President Barack Obama, seeking to fortify his support among women voters, spoke out on abortion this week after the Republican Senate candidate in neighboring Indiana drew fire by saying if a woman becomes pregnant from a rape, it is "something God intended." Romney has disavowed Richard Mourdock's comments, while not repudiating his candidacy.
Mourdock didn't come up in the hour-long debate carried by NBC affiliates across the state, but Mandel was criticized by an abortion rights group, NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, for offering support for Mourdock earlier in the day by calling him "a gentleman" and a "class act" who had apologized for comments Mandel said he disagreed with.
Their exchanges Thursday night weren't as vitriolic as their second debate last week, although peppered with sarcasm. Mandel gave a somewhat conciliatory closing, praising Brown's wife, journalist Connie Schultz, and his own wife, Ilana. Brown thanked him and said he had heard good things about Mandel's wife.
"There's not going to be any punches thrown," Mandel assured viewers, saying it was part of America's strength that the two could debate passionately and then shake hands at the end without someone being "thrown into a pit" or jail. He cited his Marine experience in two tours of Iraq and pledged he would be the best fighter in Washington for Ohioans.
Brown said he had kept his 2006 promise to champion the middle class as senator.
"I renew the promise that I will continue to fight for the middle class," Brown said, touting repeatedly the auto industry bailout that he supported - another issue Obama has highlighted this week, especially when campaigning in Ohio. Brown said the help saved many thousands of Ohio jobs in its auto-making plants and for workers that make auto components around the state.
He said because of the help for auto-makers, families around Ohio were able to keep their homes and send their children to college.
Mandel said a private sector approach would have worked, without causing some workers in Ohio to have their pensions cut.
"I don't think we should be using your tax dollars to bail out Wall Street banks and large corporations," he said.
Mandel again repeatedly accused Brown of "Washingtonspeak" as he called the 59-year-old incumbent a career politician and part of a Washington that "is broken." Brown repeatedly said Mandel dodged taking positions while relying on "poll-tested talking points." He told Mandel he would have to vote "yes or no" in Washington, while adding: "Not that your chances of going to the Senate are that high, Josh."
Brown has depicted Mandel, 35, as an opportunist more focused on his next job then doing the one he has.
In Columbus last week, Mandel looked into the camera and flatly called Brown "a liar," responding to a Brown campaign theme that Mandel can't be trusted. Brown said that was "a pretty remarkable thing" for Mandel to say, calling the Republican the winner of "pants on fire" ratings in the fact-checking column of The Plain Dealer newspaper.
Republicans identified Brown, who unseated Mike DeWine in the 2006 election, as an early target in their bid to win control of the Senate, but polls have indicated Brown has been able to hang onto the lead in their race. It has drawn heavy outside ad spending on top of the some $30 million in spending by the two campaigns combined.
There were hundreds of raucous supporters holding up signs and chanting outside the TV studio in Cincinnati. NBC News' Chuck Todd moderated the debate, also sponsored by AARP.
Mandel was a Cleveland-area city councilman and state legislator before being elected state treasurer two years ago. Brown is a former Ohio secretary of state and state legislator elected to the U.S. House in 1992.
Brown has championed the Obama health care overhaul, which Mandel calls "government-run health care" that he opposes. Brown supports abortion rights and gay marriage, both also opposed by Mandel.

Top Teachers: Philip Riddle
Brookland M.S., sixth grade
As a child, Philip Riddle noticed that many of the adults he knew spoke of work as if it were a burden.
At the same time, he noticed that many of his teachers relished their jobs – radiating joy in the way that they interacted with students, presented subject matter and provided extra help to those who needed it.
"I just could not imagine waking up every day to go to a job that I did not find joy in," Riddle recalled. "I knew that if I was going to devote a career to something, it had to be something I was passionate about.
"And I learned very early on that it was easy to be passionate about teaching."
Today, parents at Brookland Middle School have noticed that Riddle radiates that same joy with his sixth-graders. They cited his contagious, "extremely happy, pleasant-to-have-around" nature, the "can-do" spirit he encourages in his students and the fairness and integrity he models in the classroom.
One student was so taken by Riddle's fresh, open style that he came home from his first day of school and announced his plans to become a history professor.
But parents add that career choices are not all that Riddle has inspired. He challenges students to become lifelong learners and to make a difference in the world through leadership and service to the community.
Knowing that most of his students will not go on to careers in social studies, Riddle works hard to present the curriculum in a way that engages every student – whether by having the students read together and pose questions, or by sharing stories and interactive sites that will intrigue them.
"A certain percentage of students just love social studies and would look forward to my class even if I just stood up and lectured every day," Riddle acknowledged.
"But all students deserve a better experience than that. Lessons that are engaging challenge students to think critically . . . [and help them] draw connections between what has happened in the past and what is taking place in their world."
As rewarding as classroom teaching may be, however, Riddle said that the most meaningful parts of his day are moments in which he can talk to students one on one. Not only, he said, do these times allow for individualized feedback and instruction, but they also give students a chance to talk about concerns outside of the classroom.
"Students need to know that your priority is them," said Riddle. "And I cannot confine that concern only to what happens in the classroom."
Unfortunately, busy school-day schedules make it difficult to provide enough valuable one-on-one time, and even the best, most passionate teachers can't do it all themselves. A supportive community is crucial to a good school system, believes Riddle, who noted that citizens who volunteer their time and resources are always welcome.
After all, he said, "A world class education for all students provides benefits for everyone – not just the children who attend our schools."

But, seriously, which would make you feel more at ease
by Steven Haninger - 4/2/13 10:33 AM
when your children, grandchildren, teacher friends or relatives, etc. were at school?
NRA school protection recommendations]
Would you feel better knowing that certain firearms and accessories for them would be more tightly controlled or would you feel better if there was a physical presence of trained security persons or school staff there?
For those who don't like anything about the NRA, I'd hope that the name of the recommending organization doesn't distract from their message. Personally I'm saddened that such discussions need to happen and contingencies put into place but I think it's time for a reality check. We have plenty of loonies out there and people who consider laws to be just a nuisance that slows them down rather than prevents them from carrying out evil acts.

Netscape Navigator will die on February 1, 2008. AOL, which acquired Netscape in November 1998 for $4.2 billion, has announced today that they will discontinue development of the browser.
Actually this is not a surprise for us, since the Netscape browser is now based in Firefox. So one has to really wonder why AOL did not in the first place ell heir customers to use Firefox instead.
Must have been one of those smart business moves. RIP Netscape. You have been our first web browser.

Lately, when a company says a new product will be released in the first half of the year, I assume it'll be delayed at least until August. So I was surprised to hear that Dell's new mini photo printer, Wasabi, which was announced at CES, is already on sale on Dell's website. You can check it out in the video below, taken at Dell's CES press conference (the Wasabi announcement is in the first 20 seconds of the video). And Dell has also released an instructional video. Dell is charging $99 for the printer after a $50 instant rebate. Electronics are like cars these days ... only suckers pay full price.

Asahi intros strong glass for devices, won't name customers
updated 08:00 am EST, Thu January 20, 2011
Asahi Dragontrail to rival Gorilla Glass
Asahi Glass unveiled a new form of ultra-strong glass meant to take on Corning's Gorilla Glass for use in mobile devices. Dragontrail has the same near-scratchproof surface as its American rival, will survive most common drops and can take 16kg (35lbs) of concerted pressure that could bend the display without breaking. The survivability lets hardware manufacturers use thinner glass as well and can result in both slimmer and thinner devices.
It's not known how well Dragontrail compares to Gorilla Glass, though both usually exhibit the same properties. Asahi showed both small and large panes and expected Dragontrail to be used in phones, tablets and TVs.
The Japanese company already has deals for use of its glass but couldn't say who any of its first customers are. Dell, LG, Motorola and Samsung are some of Corning's customers. Apple has been rumored as a Corning customer but has never said which company makes the toughened front glass on the iPhone 4. [via AP]

The best flash media camcorders come in the smaller pocketable and compact form factors. Flash Media is by far the most expensive storage solution as compared to Hard Disk Drive and Mini-DV storage formats. Consequently, Flash Media camcorders mostly store the high compression and low quality AVCHD format and typically range from around 8GB to about 64 GB in size. The biggest advantage of Flash Media camcorders is that due to the solid-state storage construction they are most resistant to rough handling - unlike the hard drive based camcorders which are more prone to storage failure from rough handling.

|Single dose extra-amniotic prostaglandin gel for midtrimester termination of pregnancy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 6932206 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The efficacy of a single dose of prostaglandin F2 alpha gel instilled into the extra-amniotic space to induce termination of pregnancy in the second trimester has been assessed and compared with intra-amniotic prostaglandin F2 alpha and with an extra-amniotic infusion of prostaglandin F2 alpha combined with intravenous oxytocin. There was no significant difference between the methods in time taken to abortion, incidence of retained placenta, need for blood transfusion, or rate of sepsis. Single dose extra-amniotic prostaglandin gel is recommended as a safe, effective, and convenient method of midtrimester termination of pregnancy.
The efficacy of giving single-dose (40 mg) prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2a) in viscous gel instilled extraamniotically for pregnancy termination was compared with the use of intraamniotic injection of PGF2a and with extraamniotic infusion of PGF2a combined with intravenous oxytocin. Pregnancy induction occurred in second trimester patients. The 3 patient groups had no significant differences in age, gestation, or parity. There were no statistical differences in parameters measured, including time to abortion and side effects. Although more cases had aborted by 24 hours in the extramniotic PGF2a gel group, this was not statistically significant. Side effects encountered, but still not enough times to draw significant associations, were retention of placenta, gastrointestinal effects, need for blood transfusion, and sepsis. Because PGE2 is not available in Australia, these authors advocate the use of a single extraamniotic dose of PGF2a for pregnancy termination in the second trimester.

This didn't work for me.
- The media buttons (F5-F8 while holding the Fn key) doesn't work globally
- They work when foobar is focused
- OS: Windows XP SP2
- I'm usingFoobar 0.9.4.2
- Keyboard: Logitech DiNovo Edge
- Drivers: SetPoint
I have done the WinID trick and added the line you posted (with the right ClassID) to the bottom of the [players] section of the players.ini.

Oh, nevermind, it works now. I just pointed the cursor at the wrong part of the foobar window when taking the snapshot.

Ah.. I have a twist to the problem here...
I'm running Windows XP Media Center Edition so the "Play/Pause" button doesn't execute Windows Media Player, but instead, it runs Media Center.
I've tried all the solutions you've given but they've all failed. Even when I change the file association to AppKey 16, it still runs Media Center. Heck, I've even tried replacing it with a ShellExecute key leading to fb2k. Still didn't work.
Does anybody have a clue as to how I could stop Media Center from executing and have fb2k run instead?

The program sharpkeys may help you. I've used this program to correct assignments for volume and media button keys on my non-microsoft keyboard. Sharpkeys makes a registry hack for you (you could do it by hand, but Sharpkeys knows most of the scancode assignments). You could possibly re-assign your media keys to send other scancodes. Then make the 'new' keys work with Foobar2000. This may be unnecessary if you can otherwise disable
Do you have MS IntelliType installed? I installed it despite having a third party keyboard. After maping my (non-standard mapped) media keys to 'standard' scancodes, IntelliType let me do all kinds of one-press macros, or keystrokes. I can also disable the extra keys. Mostly, I like that my volume keys work with an OSD displayall programs. Foobar2000 has separate volume control key assignments and a different OSD display that won't interfere with my muliti-media keys.
QUOTE ( ~ intellitype OSD example ~ )
I'm unfamiliar with Windows XP Media Center, so I don't know what other factors play into this. I have XP Pro.

Thanks for the suggestion Danny_8, but it doesn't seem SharpKeys will fix the problem. The keys are already correctly mapped.
As for MS Intellitype, it doesn't seem to work either.
It seems that the multimedia keys are dependent on the Toshiba hotkey.exe process.
However, the multimedia keys ("Play/Pause", "Stop", "Next", "Previous") cannot be configured.
The scenario here is:
No media player running:
"Play/Pause" Key, On press --> Starts up Media Center
foobar already running, w/o Media Center:
"Play/Pause" Key, On press --> Starts up Media Center
foobar AND Media Center already running:
"Play/Pause" Key, On press --> Plays/Pauses media in foobar.
So basically everytime I want to use the "Play/Pause" hotkey for foobar, I need to have Media Center running first. That's not really something I appreciate.

Ah, well.
Does it make sense to try and map them improperly?
Have you looked on thegreenbutton.com (WMC enthusiast web site) ?
I would also consider disabling the Toshiba process. It may not be necessary.
I'm curious if you like WMC otherwise. It looks neat to me but I haven't lived with it. If I had the moolah I cough up and buy myself a notebook with WMP pre-installed before Vista comes out. I like the Fujitsu models.

Does the control panel Set Program Access and Defaults have any effect?
It is part of the Add and Remove Programs control panel.
I'm grasping at straws here.

I used to have the media keys working on my real old Toshiba laptop while running its hotkey process (on my computer, it was called something like tfncky.exe...not too sure).
Anyway, my laptop's software included an applet in the Control Panel where I could select what my default media player, CD player, and DVD player were. If your computer's software is similar, then a simple registry edit is necessary to create an entry in that applet for foobar2000. Here's the registry file I used:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
"WindowName"="foobar2000 v0.9.4.2"
"WindowName"="foobar2000 v0.9.4.2"
There are instructions in the first post of this thread to find the correct "WindowClass" (classid) you'd need (I use ColumnsUI). Also, I'm pretty sure that you should change "Path" to be the complete path to foobar2000.exe. From what I remember, foobar2000 wouldn't start if I just pressed Play/Pause, but the buttons would work just fine otherwise. (It's been a while since I've used my laptop )

Ah, I guess I forgot to mention I'm on a Toshiba laptop.
If I disable the hotkey.exe process, all the multimedia hotkeys cease to function. So I would ASSUME that it's necessary until proven otherwise.
As for mapping the keys improperly intentionally, I'm not quite sure what else I'd map the keys to...
I actually have already created a similar thread on thegreenbutton.com, although I haven't gotten many replies yet.
I personally am not too fond of Windows Media Center, mainly because I don't hook up my computers to TVs. Another thing I don't really like about WMC is that I can't really customize it to look different or fit in with my desktop. It's awfully 'user-friendly' so theres barely anything you can really configure.
Well, it seems like my Toshiba laptop runs different software from yours. In fact, that registry directory doesn't exist in my computer and there was never an option to select the default media player, etc. It's really frustrating to not be able to find a solution to a problem like this. None of the existing resolutions seem to work for Windows XP MCe...

I've actually already tried that earlier. Disabled everything media center related. Still no luck. Media Center still launches.

I would disable hotkey.exe and experiment a bit. You can always re-enable it later. Are you using startup.cpl or some other startup-managing software?
The media keys may 'cease to function' but I believe they'll still continue to send scan-codes. See if they do. If they do, you can use whichever driver software you wish (within reason). Assuming hotkey doesn't perform some other critical function like temperature monitoring, you could jettison it.
Some folks were ripping Intellitype earlier in this thread but I think it's better than all third-party keyboard drivers I've ever installed, and I've messed with quite a few. Definitely don't try to layer several keyboard drivers, however. Choose one.
I didn't scrutinize the solution proposed at the thread start, but it seems more complicated than necessary. I'm going to read it carefully to be sure.
Anyway, good luck whatever you try!

I guarantee you hotkey.exe is a necessary process. In fact, even my function key fails to operate once I terminate it. Disabling the function key isn't exactly a good idea on a laptop.
Also, the next and previous keys still work on foobar, and it does so without launching Media Center. But once I terminate hotkey.exe, they too fail to function.
How do I check if a key sends scan-codes btw?

Yep, I did realize you were running a Toshiba notebook from the outset.
In fact, even my function key failsI guess you're talking about the modifier key that allows you to emulate the numeric keypad while pressed. Your F1 thru F12 still work, I hope. That would suck! I see your reluctance to disable hotkey.exe and I don't fault you for it.
You said you didn't know what other key you'd assign if 'improper' assignment was attempted. The idea was to make some other assignmentthere are many unused scan-codes. But really, you want to use one that MS uses in one of their products. Something like 'copy' or 'paste'. Then, you'd use Intellitype to assign a function to that key. With a little luck, media player wouldn't launch, but your action would.
I know of several programs that will help reveal when keys are pressed. Sharpkeys will, of course. I would disable hotkey.exe, experiment with sharpkeys, and take some notes. Possibly the Fn issue (assuming I ID-ed that correctly) could be worked around. One might enable hotkey,
The other one (scan code revealer) that comes to mind is TweakUIXP, which is excellent for other reasons. TweakUI won't show you actual codes but if a 'mystery' key is the same as one of the Microsoft keyboard keys, it will scroll to that function. In fact TweakUIXP can be used to make assignments to a limited degree.
QUOTE ( ~ tweakui is limited but sometimes works ~)
Hope this helps. I had a similar issue with my Chicony keyboard driver always launching IE when I didn't want it to.
I worked through it (two years on and off) only after I found sharpkeys.

I said check the scan code for Fn. I think I mean check the scan codes for all the numeric keys while Fn is depressed. It really helps to make some notes on paper while you do this.
You should be able to do what you desire (get your media keys to behave) but you may have to re-map a dozen or more keys (media keys and possibly numeric keypad keys) to make it happen. Possible fly in the ointment: will the brightness and ancillary functions require hotkey.exe? It'd be real nice if they didn't. Don't give up!
Oh yeah, I hate the fact that my USB keyboard won't power-on my system, but my (relatively crappy) PS/2 keyboard will! I use the PS/2 'cause I really need that feature to work. I mean, my CPU's like three feet away!

This is very strange. After using SharpKeys to help detect scancodes, I realized that my multimedia keys are recognized differently when pressed with/without the function modifier key.
On press -
"Media: Play/Pause" only:
SharpKeys can't detect.
"Media: Play/Pause" with Fn modifier:
SharpKeys recognizes scancode as "Media: Play/Pause"
I get similar results with all the other multimedia keys on this laptop. The Launch Media player button, which is configured to launch the calculator, launches Windows Media Player when pressed with the Fn modifier down.
SharpKeys can't seem to detect most of the Fn key features and when hotkey.exe is terminated, most of the Fn keys fail to work. Brightness +/- happens to be an exception though.
Supposedly though, if I can figure out the scancode for the "Play/Pause" key without the Fn modifier, then I could remap it to "Media: Play/Pause".
Now, you might be wondering why I have a launch media player button and not have it configured to launch foobar but the issue here is that I can't seem to use the "Play/Pause" button without first launching Media Center. Also, under ideal conditions, the "Media:Play/Pause" button should be able to launch an instance of foobar (NOT Media Center) when one does not already exist.
Thanks for all the help danny_8.
Maybe I should try something outrageous like installing foobar into the Media Center folder and then replacing the media center exe with the foobar one.

Seems that when I have foobar associated to .cda, I can use the "App: Media Player" key to launch foobar. However, the computer will only recognize it as the "App: Media Player" key when the Fn key is depressed. When it isn't, it's an unknown key that SharpKey can't seem to find the Scancode for.
The same goes for the "Play/Pause" key. The computer will recognize the "Media: Play/Pause" key is being depressed only when the Fn key is also depressed. Otherwise, it'll just launch Media Center like it always does.
So basically, the hotkeys work, but I have hold down the Fn modifier key first everytime I want to have the "Play/Pause" key work the way its supposed to.
Still can't launch foobar with the "Play/Pause" key like my other computer can though.

After using SharpKeys just now help detect scancodes, I realized my multimedia keys are recognized differently when pressed with/without the function modifier key.Yeah, that makes sense. I noticed that sharpkeys cannot detect my media keypresses once Intellitype is running.
It's been quite a few months since I re-aligned my keyboard, but one thing I do remember is a lot of head-scratching. I believe I had to uninstall my (3rd party) keyboard driver (and Intellitype was not yet installed) before I could make sense of my keyboard. Sharpkeys is imperfect but still useful. If you look around the web, you see lots of folks have similar or identical issues to what you're experiencing. Hardware manufacturers are not especially concerned once they get their product out the door and as long as it doesn't crash. Margins are slim so they don't justify the programmer effort. The worst thing is when they farm out their software requirements to a lame-brain third party.
I think MS ought to provide a universal keyboard macro/customizer that works will all hardware. That would benefit more users than Aero. Same goes with mouse drivers. I have a logitech trackball I love except for the d@mn driver software that comes with it. The driver hangs my computer when I awaken from sleep/standby mode (not often used). Logitech spams me but won't respond to tech inquiries or fix their driver. My wrist problem got better so I went back to my MS mouse.

Just to ensure full disclosure I should have stated I continue to use my media keys for their 'normal' use to control WMP. I recently got into Foobar again (getting DSL renewed my appetite for internet radio) and I've been hanging out here trying to understand various plugins.
It occurred to me that I should try to map my media keys to Foobar similar to what you are trying. I had the same problem with WMP launching. I could disable Intellitype (don't really want to) and it would behave. My solution was to allow intellitype to run but disable the media keys. Now at least I got my system to work with Foobar 2K attached to my media keys. I do have to launch FB manually before the keys work. And I haven't lived with this arrangement, so there may be other issues. Hey, maybe I'll use this for a while! I hardly even use WMP except to watch the occasional *ahem* video.
One thing I dislike about Intellitype is you have to choose which MS keyboard you wish to emulate. What if you want to take a key from here ("copy" from Office keyboard) and a key from there (MM key from a different keyboard)? S-O-L!

Still can't launch foobar with the "Play/Pause" key like my other computer can though.One way to do this is to bind the desired key to a Windows shortcut using your keyboard driver. (Instead of binding that key to a Foobar function using Foobars preferences panel.) The shortcut would look something like this:
"c:\program files\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe" /play
"play or pause" is probably a better choice. Unsure of the exact syntax. My latest riff is trying to develop command scripts for Foobar to open radio stations. It's a challenge for me. Here is the command line reference page: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...mmandline_Guide
This is probably not worth the trouble but I thought I mention it. I'm sticking with the simple 'prefs page bind' for myself.

Its a standard wireless Dell keyboard, no software. My sound card is an EMU 1820M.
Did you get volume working? (Sorry for not replying for so long) You said the volume control modifies the wrong sound card - what other sound cards have you got and are you using them all? If not I'd advise disabling all but the one's you are using.
I have a wireless HP keyboard that came with the computer. There doesn't appear to be any software to configure keys.
The keys work when foobar is in focus, but without configuring it. No multimedia button presses are recognised by foobar in the shortcut configuration box.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, with foobar v0.9.4.2.
Danny_8 suggested something called sharpkeys, I guess you could give that a whirl:
The program sharpkeys may help you. I've used this program to correct assignments for volume and media button keys on my non-microsoft keyboard. Sharpkeys makes a registry hack for you (you could do it by hand, but Sharpkeys knows most of the scancode assignments). You could possibly re-assign your media keys to send other scancodes. Then make the 'new' keys work with Foobar2000.
Now, if you know the codes for volume +/-, and skipping tracks, that'd be really handy.
See post above this one.

Interesting SetPoint hacking
I've been using a Logitech keyboard with multimedia keys successfully for a while now, by not having SetPoint installed, but recently got myself a Logitech mouse too. Now I need to have SetPoint running, and it grabs hold of control of the keyboard too, ruining all the multimedia keys which used to work just fine.
I've been hacking about with SetPoint for some time, and come across the following. If you close SetPoint, then open your settings file in \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Logitech\SetPoint\user.xml, you should find a Device element with the DisplayName of your keyboard, and Class="KeyboardDevice". In it, there are a bunch of Button elements, with nice descriptive Names. Find the buttons you want to fix, and for each one, look inside the Trigger element for a Param element which has an attribute Silent="0". Change that to Silent="1". Once you've done that to all the media buttons you want to fix, save the file, and start SetPoint again. Those buttons with Silent="0" you can still set the behaviour for in SetPoint (which is handy for those buttons which don't have a standard behaviour), and those buttons with Silent="1" behave as if SetPoint was not running. Result!
Hope this is useful to others too,

Hi, I'm from Russia so, sorry for my mistakes. I've got some troubles with it:)
So, my keyboard is Defender Wireless Multimedia Keyboard. When I'm trying to make hotkey, there are no actions in the window (in menu I mean).
So me driver is standart (MK02014 Multimedia Keyboard Driver). When I push some multimedia keys it opens mediaplayer, and with medaiplayer it works...
But, I like foobar)
So, here is a photo of my stuff http://www.defender.ru/products/klaviatury...-nabory-/12002/ (sorry for russia)
Thanks a lot...

There is an alternative for the Logitech SetPoint settings:
In players.ini, add these lines
<other entries here>
<other entries here>
foobar2000=path,<path to the foobar dir>
<other entries here>
The difference to the other method is, that the keys are working no matter in which state foobar is (minimised, in background...), it shows up in the SetPoint key configuration and ... doesn't seem to work with ColumnsUI u.u (at least for me)

Wedge, I am not in disagreement with what you say at all. I think management could be doing a better job and I'm also wondering why we haven't heard anything about upcoming drilling. Wasn't HBM to spend x number of dollars on drilling this winter? When will we know how far the deposit extends is another question? I thought the installment of the ramp would allow further exploration of the deposit because I thought there was a possibility of it extending off in another direction? My facts may be jumbled because I'm talking from memory here now.
I'm still kicking myself for not selling in the .80's because I would have been up like $40,000. I thought with VMS' 100 percent owned properties, we would have several drills turning, and maybe we will, but I thought we'd hear by now. I don't see you as bashing as opposed to frustrated. I think many people have walked away from this company and are waiting on the sidelines. I am one of those people. I have faith that VMS will eventually get bought out but not until production starts. I'm involved in other venture stocks and it's been a rough ride for all of them for about 13 months. Once I get my money out of some of them (hopefully at a profit) I am diverting my money into safer stocks. I think the market will be volatile for several years while Europe, Japan, and the US figure their sheight out! Anyway, good luck and keep posting...it is your right afterall. Cheers

As recently as last month, Lee Daniels' The Butler was looking like a box office mess.
The Weinstein Co., which owned the film rights, had just lost a legal battle with Warner Bros, which claimed that its 1916 short The Butler had title ownership. The courts agreed, forcing the studio to take down posters, its Facebook page, and change the title to add director Lee Daniels. On top of that, it would face a summer slate that included teen favorites: horror and fantasy films.
No matter. Butler fended off another raft of new films this weekend, taking its second consecutive box-office crown with $17 million this weekend, according to studio estimates from Hollywood.com.
The sophomore-week effort marks the latest hit for Hollywood's civil rights films - and may have pushed the Forest Whitaker drama into the Oscar race. Butler "made a pretty good case over the weekend that it belongs in the awards conversation," says Steve Pond, columnist for trade website TheWrap.com.
At a recent screening for academy members, Pond says, Butler received "the most enthusiastic reaction to any screening this year." He says the film could be a lock for "the people who voted for previous Weinstein winners like The King's Speech and The Artist."
The buzz is the latest arrow in Butler's box-office quiver, which analysts say has brimmed since the studio decided last month to release the movie nationwide instead of in a slow rollout. Among the factors boosting Butler:
Civil rights are hot in Hollywood: In addition to Butler, films that examine racism have flourished in 2013. Fruitvale Station, the $8 million story of a black man gunned down by police in Northern California, did $15 million. 42, the story of Jackie Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier, stunned analysts with $95 million.
An expanding base: In its opening weekend, about 76 percent of audiences was over 35 and 40% was African-American. This weekend, that number dropped to 63% over 35 and 33% African-American, indicating a widening demographic.
The Oprah factor: Though Oprah Winfrey, who co-stars in the film, doesn't have the clout she has with books, she remains a force among female moviegoers, who were ready to listen. "After a season filled with CGI spectacle geared at young males, there's a ton of pent-up demand among older women," says Ray Subers of Box Office Mojo.
Timing: While late August is a dumping ground for blockbuster wannabes, it can be fertile ground for fall-minded movies. The Help arrived in the same period in 2011 and did $170 million.
That left holdovers and weak newcomers to pick up Butler's scraps. Jennifer Aniston's comedy We're the Millers took second place in its third week with $13.5 million. Among the newcomers, the teen fantasy The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones took third with $9.3 million, followed by the comedy The World's End with 8.9 million. The Disney cartoon Planes rounded out the top five with $8.6 million.
The horror film You're Next, which some analysts predicted would win the weekend, fell well short of expectations with $7.1 million, good for seventh place. Final figures are due Monday.
Attendance is down about 3% from the same weekend last year, Hollywood.com says.

Can Curvy Girls Wear A Belt?
Q. I've got a bit of a style conundrum. Every style "guru" I've read recommends adding a belt to make a waist appear thinner or more shapely. How do I do that if I'm built like Jennifer Lopez? Without a full skirt, the belt just highlights the prominence of my bum, which is not something that I've ever wanted to do. I'm tired of always wearing a full top (babydolls, men's oxfords, tunics) with wide leg jeans or capris. I'd like to be cute once in a while. Any ideas?
A. Belts may be a huge trend this season, but that doesn't mean they are for everyone. Cinching your waist tends to accentuate your bust, hips and rear – something not all of us are interested in. Women that are thick in the middle or short-waisted may also have trouble finding a flattering way to wear a belt. There are a few tricks, however, to wear a belt without drawing too much attention to your JLo-esque assets:
- A thick belt draws more attention to your waist and anything above or below it (your bust and hips/rear); try wearing a skinny belt worn at your natural waist instead. (#4 below)
- Look for a belt that is a similar color to your clothing (#2 below)
- Look for a top that provides balance to your bum: a blousy shirt with a wide open collar, a boat neck top, etc. Try belting the top and letting it drape over your hips instead of tucking in the top and belting your pants. (#1 and #2 below)
- Wear a slim-fitting top with a belted full skirt to camouflage your rear (#6 below)
- Look for drapey dresses belted slightly higher than your natural waist (#3 below)
- Try wearing your belt hip-slung (#5 below)

One of the coolest ideas for a Christmas present I've seen this year is the Parrot AR.Drone Quadricoptor. As a sucker for tech gadgets and toys, learning about a machine whose mobility can be remotely controlled by a phone definitely piqued my interest (and conjured up some memories of James Bond gadget-lust).
The quadricoptor (quad referring to its four rotors) was dubbed a hit at the Consumer Electronics Show in January by many reviewers. The machine has two live-streaming video cameras (one down-facing and one front-facing) and can be controlled over Wi-Fi through an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, using a free application from Apple's app store. Tilting the phone (or iPod or iPad) forward, backward or side to side moves the Drone in that direction. The phone's screen shows a live view of what the Drone sees at that moment, allowing the user to control the Drone when it's out of view.
What's more – the 'AR' in AR.Drone stands for augmented reality, which basically involves running games on the iPhone/Pod/Pad that overlay onto the Drone's camera view. With two Drones, you can hold in-air battles, lining up and blasting opponents on-screen. This feature is super-enticing for me, though it's unlikely that multiple Drone owners will come together, given the Apple-only platform and high price tag ($299).
Software that allows Android control of the Drone is in the making, and when that is released, I'll have to decide if I'm willing to shell out the money for this pricey, albeit, appealing toy.

Police: Phoenix man dies after being stabbed by wife during altercation with wife's adult son
PHOENIX - Police said a Phoenix woman fatally stabbed her husband after an altercation broke out between him and her adult son at their home Thursday night.
According to reports, responding officers went to the couple's residence near 19th Avenue and Thomas Road around 7:30 p.m. after a female caller told police that she had stabbed her 43-year-old husband.
The couple had been recently married, but the 49-year-old woman had a 28-year-old son from a previous marriage.
The son, who is said to be mentally impaired, was visiting his mother when a verbal fight broke out between him and the woman's husband.
The verbal altercation then turned physical and the wife reportedly stabbed her husband.
The man was taken to a hospital after officers arrived at the home, but he later died from his injuries.
Phoenix police investigators questioned the woman about possible self defense or defense of her son. She was later released pending the conclusion of the investigation, police say.
No other information about the victim has been released as his family has not yet been found or notified as of Friday.

San Francisco: no famine in sight
Eighteen hours, one night in a Super 8, and four score switchbacks from Seattle, we found San Francisco, all hills and fog and farmers' markets and no famine in sight.* It's a city I've long loved, but with the proper partner, I went from smitten to very, very serious. Acme Bread to Zuni Café, we ate it up.
And thank goodness there were two of us, because sharing was a necessity if we were to have room for it all, from Aladdin Market and Deli (thank you, Hillel) to Berkeley Bowl, Blue Bottle Coffee Company, Breads of India, Boulangerie, Café Fanny, Ferry Plaza, Las Camelias, La Taqueria, and XOX Truffles; and from pain au levain to sheep's milk ricotta gnocchi, falafel, Okinawan purple sweet potatoes, coffee from Yemen, naan with shredded coconut and fresh dill, cannelés, Belgian sugar tarts, fresh morels and French macarons, agave margaritas, tacos filled with shredded chicken in a tomato and chile sauce, and the tiniest, most sigh-inducing chocolate truffles to ever cross these lips. We flitted here and there in search of this and that, meeting with such success that I believe I might have actually uttered the words, "I'm tired of eating." But only once or twice.
No amount of food fatigue, however, could keep us from Tartine, a bakery worth a thousand miles. Perched on a street corner in the Mission District, Tartine's walls are bulging at all hours with an eager cult following of customers lined up for morning pastries or hot, crusty country bread at four in the afternoon, or haggling for tables on the sidewalk outside. Its offerings straddle old-fashioned Americana and French country-chic, from coconut cream tarts to a cake aux olives, each perfectly messy or neat, as the case requires. Brandon flew into a frenzy the moment we stepped up to the counter, overwhelmed by the sight of an open-face croque monsieur with melting slices of summer tomato and a lemon meringue cake the size and shape of a shoebox, covered with burnished spikes. Clearly, one visit would not suffice. There was too much to taste—and to photograph. There were meringues studded with Scharffen Berger nibs, each little mountain-shaped cookie craggy and light, its sweetness delicately balanced by the light bitterness of roasted cacao beans.
And there was the lemon cream tart, a pool of puckery lemon curd in a sweet, crunchy shortbread shell,
and its frumpy stepsister, the the banana cream tart, an über-flaky crust coated with caramel and dark chocolate and filled with vanilla pastry cream and sliced bananas, the whole topped with barely sweetened whipped cream and thick chocolate curls.
We ogled the shortbread, tight-crumbed and buttery 1"-by-4"s,
and the morning buns, knots of flaky dough perfumed with cinnamon and orange. And when it came time to turn the car around, I took a bag of muesli for breakfast on the road and Brandon seared his thighs with a lapful of straight-from-the-oven country bread, possibly the best use of flour I've tasted anywhere: thick-crusted, with a moist, chewy crumb full of dime-sized air holes.
The hours fly by when you're well-fed—whether in a city on the coast or in a car, or later, at a keyboard in Seattle, a crumb-filled plate at your elbow.
*There was also no consistently available Internet connection, so I appreciate your patience, gentle reader.

Trial: Aggravated murder suspect blames blood-soaked clothes on dead dog
VANCOUVER, Wash. – Broken and bent knives were found inside his home.
Dennis Wolter was covered in blood, from his boots to his baseball cap.
Yet the Vancouver man maintained to a police officer who stopped his speeding car May 26, 2011, that he wasn't a murder suspect – that the blood on his clothes came from his dead dog.
Those were the details that police detectives recounted to a Clark County Superior Court jury of six men and six women Thursday in the second day of Wolter's trial.
Wolter is charged with first-degree aggravated murder in the death of his girlfriend Kori Fredericksen.
A conviction of aggravated murder carries the potential for the death penalty in Washington. However, prosecutors announced last year that they did not plan to pursue capital punishment, but instead, life in prison without the possibility of release.
Opening statements were heard Wednesday afternoon and prosecutors began calling their witnesses to the stand Thursday.
Officers who testified described the hard evidence against Wolter – and his unlikely story. The suspect told a police officer that his dog had been hit and killed while playing fetch and he had taken it to a veterinarian.
"It didn't seem to come together that that much blood would be on an individual," said Vancouver police Detective John Ringo.
Meanwhile, while detectives were interrogating Wolter, other officers found Fredericksen's body down a steep embankment off Old Evergreen Highway.
During the interview, Wolter continued to maintain his ruse about his dead dog. He also complained about his girlfriend, calling her jealous and possessive.
"She blew my phone up with 230 phone calls in a six-hour period," Wolter said in a recorded interview with police the day of the homicide.
In the interview, the detective asked him how many calls that day: "Today, I've gotten about 73," he said.
Following an earlier domestic violence allegation, a no-contact order had been imposed against Wolter, barring him from contacting Fredericksen.
Wolter is being charged with aggravated murder because he violated the no-contact order in the alleged commission of the crime, prosecutors said.
In opening statements, the defense indicated its plan to pursue a defense of diminished capacity, meaning Wolter could not form intent to kill because of a traumatic brain injury and fetal alcohol syndrome.
The trial is expected to last three weeks.

The famed Spanish tenor will perform at London's Roundhouse on Tuesday, Sept. 30 — the last act of a month-long, starry line-up, festival organizers announced.
Deadmau5 kicks off the concerts on Monday night, followed by headline sets from pop names like Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, Calvin Harris, The Script and Ed Sheeran.

Cooper signs new Wallabies contractComment on this story
Sydney – Australia flyhalf Quade Cooper, who had threatened to walk away from rugby in a row about his new contract, signed a new two-year deal with the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) on Friday.
The 24-year-old Queensland Reds back had baulked at a revised offer tabled in late October after he was fined A$40,000 ($42,000) for describing the Wallabies camp as a "toxic environment" he felt was "destroying" him.
Media reports suggested it was the sort of pay-as-you-play deal that would usually be offered to those outside the top echelons of the national set-up.
After his threat to walk away, and the announcement of his boxing debut in a charity bout, a new contract was put forward which proved more acceptable.
"It's no secret that I have a strong passion and desire to represent Queensland and Australia. I love playing for the Reds and the Wallabies," Cooper, who has been sidelined by a knee injury, said in a news release.
"It's a great feeling to know that things are sorted and now I can continue to improve as a player and as a member of the Queensland Reds and the Wallabies.
"I'm confident I'll front for round one in peak physical condition and primed to play the best rugby in my career."
The fine had completed a miserable 12 months for Cooper, which started when he limped out of the World Cup with a seriously damaged knee after being labelled 'public enemy number one' in the land of his birth.
In the preceding three years, however, Cooper's incisive passing and quick feet had established him as the top flyhalf in Australia and one of the most exciting talents in rugby.
Despite his problems with the ARU, Cooper has enjoyed good relations with Queensland and had already committed to stay with the Reds until 2015 in a deal contingent on a Wallabies top-up.
Cooper will now be available when Australia host the British and Irish Lions next year.
"Agreeing to terms for a further two years provides Quade with an opportunity to take on one of the world's most iconic rugby teams," said ARU chief Matt Carroll.
"It is an opportunity I am sure he is looking forward to as a Reds player and potentially as a Wallaby." – Reuters

Listen to what this Frenchtown investor says
Re: "Feeling kind of blue over delays in Frenchtown" (Byron Dobson, July 12).
It was a great headline: Whoever wrote that is an obvious jazz fan, perhaps even a Miles Davis fan (no insult implied). Which is beside the point. It's the content that matters. Here's no surprise - at least for me: Geraldine Seay wrote a searing indictment of the city's efforts in Frenchtown.
But she's that rare person with the credibility and force to bring the discussion back to reality, or to some purpose. She owns, along with her husband, one of the few businesses in Frenchtown.
B-Sharp's, a jazz club, has risen, failed for a time, and has risen again. She's put her purse on the line for the old-school notion that, since jazz began as a black folk art and is organic in all its function, it belongs where there once was a thriving black district.
That's a kind of nostalgia, I confess. But it is a faith in the unpretentious and the possible, nonetheless.
Add to that her knowledge and can-do personality, and the city's leaders should welcome her to take part in any discussion - present and future - on Frenchtown.
Southerland needs to act on immigration
A majority of Americans are convinced that immigration reform done the right way will help our country.
Last month, a bipartisan group of senators worked together, came up with a common-sense solution, and passed a bill that isn't perfect but is a step toward real immigration reform. So we're nearly there, right?
But where is Rep. Steve Southerland? Speaker Boehner has said the House won't take up the Senate bill but hasn't offered a reasonable alternative.
Southerland needs to listen to his constituents and tell House leadership to get on board with the majority of Americans.
We cannot let immigration reform stagnate. Now is the time for real reform on a bipartisan basis.
In order to tell Rep. Southerland and other House representatives obstructing a pathway of freedom for 11 million people that 74 percent of the state of Florida stands behind, I, with many other advocates, will rally on the steps of the historic Florida Capitol on Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m.

It's never too soon for your child to play with a tablet, and if you think they're ready for a tablet of their own, here are some of my favorites available today. LeapFrog's LeapPad 2 costs less than a hundred bucks and works with all cartridge apps and games from the first LeapPad, giving you access to a massive catalog. LeapFrog also makes the LeapPad Ultra, which is a little more expensive but worth it for older kids, because the Ultra feels like more of a "real tablet" thanks to media apps and other features. The Tabeo e2 from Toys R Us is a great Android device designed for kids ages 6 to 11. The e2 features parental controls and educational applications to make sure you know exactly what your kids are doing with the device. You can manage which apps are installed and limit usage by time or day. All of these tablets are great – and if you match the features and benefits to the intended user, you can't go wrong.

CHAIRMAN TOM WHEELERRe:
Revision of Part 15 of the Commission's Rules to Permit Unlicensed National Information
Infrastructure (U-NII) Devices in the 5 GHz Band
Today's item to greatly increase the utility of 100 megahertz in the 5 GHz band is a big deal. Our
action today will create new opportunities for entrepreneurs and innovators, and much-needed relief to the
growing problem of congestion on Wi-Fi networks.
At the same time, it moves us another step closer to ending the analog-era debate of licensed vs.
unlicensed spectrum.
In 2014, licensed and unlicensed spectrum are more complimentary than competitive. They are
less oil & vinegar and more peanut butter & jelly. Today, virtually every smartphone has two unlicensed
technologies, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with a third – near field communications – beginning to be added for
mobile transactions. And wireless carriers are using Wi-Fi to offload more than 45% of smartphone traffic
to fixed networks.
But Wi-Fi has become a victim of its own popularity, and now faces congestion issues of its own.
That's why the Commission is hard at work providing spectrum for both licensed and unlicensed
use. Both are critically important to our mobile ecosystem.
In this order, the Commission is taking 100 MHz of unlicensed spectrum at 5 GHz that was
barely usable – and not usable at all outdoors – and transforming it into spectrum that is fully usable for
To put this 100 MHz number into perspective, that's more usable spectrum than the 2.4 GHz
band that gave birth to Wi-Fi in the first place.
This is a big win for consumers who will be able to enjoy faster connections and less congestion,
as more spectrum will be available to handle Wi-Fi traffic. It will make it easier to get online wirelessly in
public places like airports and convention centers, as well as in your living room.
This is also a big win for American innovators. The changes we are making will provide fertile
ground for the growth of "Gigabit Wi-Fi" – the latest generation of ultra-high-speed, high-capacity Wi-Fi
that can provide data speeds in excess of 1 Gigabit per second.
We are not stopping here when it comes to unlicensed spectrum. We are committed to making
more spectrum available for unlicensed use in our incentive auction proceeding and our 3.5 GHz
proceeding, and will continue to carefully study technical analyses that could further expand access to
spectrum in up to 195 additional megahertz of spectrum in two other portions of the 5 GHz band.
Thank you also to OET for your hard and creative work on this item.

An American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine Consensus Conference was held in Northbrook in August 1991 with the goal of agreeing on a set of definitions that could be applied to patients with sepsis and its sequelae. New definitions were offered for some terms, while others were discarded. Broad definitions of sepsis and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome were proposed, along with detailed physiologic parameters by which a patient may be categorized. Definitions for severe sepsis, septic shock, hypotension, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome were also offered. The use of severity scoring methods when dealing with septic patients was recommended as an adjunctive tool to assess mortality. Appropriate methods and applications for the use and testing of new therapies were recommended. The use of these terms and techniques should assist clinicians and researchers who deal with sepsis and its sequelae.
