Hey Tim, I've been having a few issues with WMP+ on Windows 7 Pro x86 (Core Duo). When the option to display the track metadata in the window title is enabled, WMP's UI freezes sometimes when a new track that has been added to a Watch folder but not yet automatically detected and added by WMP is played. Since this happens a lot when I add new media to my home PC, I've disabled it there. The plugin works just fine on Vista Ultimate x64 though (Core 2 Duo).

Reeves doesn't want to be limited to the jazz box
Dianne Reeves fights a battle against what she calls "industry-speak" every time she performs.
That business vernacular puts music into categories, defines songs people sing, and makes performers put together tours built around themes or supporting an album.
"People get into it, and it makes them think a certain way," she says, with a bit of a sigh.
Reeves says her concert May 4 at the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild on the North Side won't be built around any musical business plan. It simply will be Reeves performing the range of material that has made her a four-time Grammy award-winner.
Reeves is a singer who has jazz technique mastered, but, at times, chooses not to use it because it does not fit a particular song. She can go from a classic jazz pieces such as "Afro Blue" to a disciplined, refined version of "Windmills of Your Mind." She also can take a pop hit such as "Just My Imagination" and give it a new dignity.
That ability keeps her on the road with a quartet featuring pianist Peter Martin, drummer Terreon Gully, bassist Reginald Veal and Brazilian guitarist Romero Lubambo.
Reeves, 56, was born in Detroit and is a cousin of keyboardist/composer George Duke. Early in her career, she toured with pianists Billy Childs, Sergio Mendes and singer Harry Belafonte before releasing her first solo album in 1982.
She lives in Denver, where she grew up.
Reeves says she is able to present the variety of music she does because she tries to be honest in her style. Rather that trying to force a song in an "industry speak" format that would "fit" Dianne Reeves, she tries to reach out to songs that she could realistically perform.
She says that method is what allows her to perform well-known material or, on her upcoming album, mostly original songs. That album, coming out in the fall, is produced by drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, and will feature co-stars such as pianist Robert Glasper and Lalah Hathaway, Reeves says.
"It will show where I am at this point in time," she says.
She seems proud of the variety in her work and says it is the reason her career has moved along so steadily.
"My audience is like my music," she says. "It is filled with different people."
The singer says social media has enabled her to stay in touch with that range of people, although she confesses to working only on Twitter — where her hashtag is #diannereeves1 — and avoiding Facebook.
"It is a good way to reach people," she says. "It is a good way of eliminating boundaries."

Since then, Sharp has gone on to become a core member of the Blackhawks, and his place in the lineup has been augmented by quite a few other key acquisitions from the trade and free-agent markets. But it all seems to have started with Sharp as the Blackhawks began to put together the pieces that would form a Stanley Cup championship team in 2010.
Marian Hossa, John Madden, Andrew Ladd, Brian Campbell and Tomas Kopecky also will have their names etched on the Cup after joining the Hawks in the years since Sharp came aboard.
"'Sharpy' has been a big part of our team," coach Joel Quenneville said. "Leadership, consistency in his game. He's been a top scorer for us. He plays in all situations, PP, PK, regular shifts, versatility, playing on the wing. Got him back at center. We felt we needed more depth in that area. He moved back in the middle for us this year. I thought that filled a big need for us and created top scoring line for us as well.
"He's been very successful and consistent in the playoffs. We just like his approach and the options he gives us as a coach as well."
Those assets developed because he was given the chance to play in Chicago.
"When I got traded to Chicago, they were a team that was developing in all areas and they gave me a great opportunity to play in different situations," Sharp said. "And leaving Philadelphia I kind of understood the situation here as well. They were a first-place team. They were pushing for a championship and it was tough to break into that lineup. And I was thankful for the Flyers to trade me to a good place and gave me a chance to play."
Hossa is known as the man who's appeared in three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals with three different teams, but the Blackhawks didn't sign him as a free agent on July 1, 2009, for that designation.
"You can ask a lot of guys and they'll all say getting to the Cup Final, whether you win or not, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, for the most part," captain Jonathan Toews said. "But it's not the case with Marian. I think what he can tell us or what he can bring to add an extra kick or desire to go out there and lay it all on the line.
"I think it's tough for him to have lost twice," Toews said prior to Game 6. "I'm sure he has it in his heart and he believes just like the rest of us that this is it. He's been great for us all playoffs and all season. On and off the ice we've been happy to have him. He's again been a big part of our success and the reason we've come this far."
Madden earned his third Stanley Cup in his first season in Chicago, delivering on what the Hawks wanted from him when he was signed as a free agent last July 1.
"Madden has been great," Sharp said. "Right from day one, he's -- I don't know if 'accepted' is the right word, because he stepped into the locker room and guys flock to him right away. He's someone that for a young team, we all kind of look to. He's been through the battle a few times. He's not the type of leader that stands up and barks in the room a whole lot. When he does say something, he's definitely got our attention."
Quenneville said Madden's contributions don't always show up on the scoresheet.
"I think he brings leadership and character," he said of Madden. "At the beginning of the season what we're looking for him to instill, was we wanted some improvement in our penalty killing. And we really enhanced that immediately with his presence. Be it key faceoffs or play in his own end, that leadership, particularly at this time, has really been noticeable."
The Hawks' third signing on July 1, 2009, was Kopecky from the Detroit Red Wings -- and like Hossa and Madden, he has been a contributor.
"They've both played great, the same thing with Tomas, I can't imagine how tough that is. Playing on a line with him and Marian last game, I think we did a lot of good things. Kopey was right in there in a lot of those offensive plays. We're happy for him."
"It's a dream come true to play in the Stanley Cup Final," Kopecky said. "Any other player can tell you it's something you play hockey for when you were growing up, when you were as a kid. That's what you were dreaming of. I had to work hard no matter what and to who much is given, much is expected."
"I liked 'Kopey' all year long," Quenneville said. "I think he was patient to get a better opportunity. I thought his game improved and enhanced the end of the season. Got some more quality ice time in certain rounds of these playoffs. He got quality ice time playing with Sharpy and Hoss.
"And all of a sudden he's -- you got a lot of options with Kopey. I think his patience with the puck, he's got a great shot, he's annoying to play against. He knows where the front of the net is. He's effective in a lot of ways."
Certainly two other players worth mentioning are defenseman Campbell, who signed as a free agent on July 1, 2008, and added the puck-moving defenseman the team needed. Campbell also proved his mettle this spring when he rushed back to the lineup from a broken collarbone to get into the first-round series with the Nashville Predators. That allowed Quenneville to move Dustin Byfuglien back to forward -- and added a valuable offensive component that helped the helped the Hawks to the Cup.
Ladd was picked up from Carolina for Tuomo Ruutu on Feb. 26, 2008. He brought not only a big body, but the experience of winning a Cup with the Hurricanes. Like Campbell, he rushed back to the lineup from injury to assist the Blackhawks in their Stanley Cup triumph.

The Salem boys basketball team stayed unbeaten at the Lanier High School Shootout in Sugar Hill. The Seminoles, who got 31 points from Dedrick Turner in a season-opening win over Henry County, followed it with a pair of wins Monday.
First, the Seminoles rolled past Lumpkin County, 87-46, as four players reached double figures in scoring. Marques McKoy led the way with 15 points, while Jaquan Davis and Zach Bailey added 12 each as the Seminoles ran out to a 23-2 lead to start the game and cruised from there.
"Once we got out it was no looking back," said Salem coach Darren Wilkins. "We want a lot faster tempo, that allows to use our bench more, allows us to keep fresh legs, we've been able to wear teams down that didn't have much depth."
The Seminoles followed that win by going down 17-6 after one quarter to host Lanier, but rallying for a 59-52 victory. Starting guards Turner and Caneshe Green led Salem with 16 points each.
"We struggled moving the ball early in the first quarter, got off to a really cold start," Wilkins said. "Our defense kicked in."
Salem finished the tournament with a game against Northview on Tuesday that ended too late for this edition.

Based on research conducted at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, it appears that adding soy to one's diet may result in a reduced risk of developing diabetes and in improved insulin sensitivity.
The work of nutrition scientists at UMA led to the discovery of a molecular pathway that allows foods rich in isoflavones—bioactive compounds found in soy—to lower diabetes risk and to reduce blood sugar and improve glucose tolerance in individuals with the disease.
Study author Young-Cheul Kim says soy compounds do that by "targeting fat cell-specific transcription factors and the downstream signaling molecules that are important for glucose uptake and thus insulin sensitivity."
"These new findings help fill a critical gap between epidemiological observations and clinical studies on the anti-diabetic benefits of dietary soy," adds Kim.
Other studies have suggested soy may lower the risk of breast and prostate cancer and help manage the symptoms of menopause.
In addition to isoflavones, soy products also contain amino acids, proteins, complex carbohydrates, omega-3 fatty acids as well as vitamins and minerals such as calcium, folate and iron, according to Soynutrition.com.
Popular soy foods include tofu, edamame, soy milk, meat alternatives, miso and soy protein powders.

Eagles' Rachel Roeder named volleyball player of the year
February 22, 2011
By Laura Geggel
Standing tall at 6-foot-1, Issaquah High School's Rachel Roeder is a formidable foe on the volleyball court.
The outside hitter has a recorded 469 kills, 252 digs, 67 service aces and 28 blocks this past season while posting a kill percentage of .449; enough to attract the attention of Gatorade in its search for Washington Volleyball Player of the Year.
Gatorade has honored high school athletes since 1985, and announced Roeder's award in collaboration with ESPN RISE.
The award recognizes Roeder for her outstanding athletic excellence, high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the court.
At Issaquah High School, Roeder has earned a B average and volunteers as a youth coach, and as an assistant with the Issaquah High School Sports Medicine Program. In her free time, she volunteers at Rotary First Harvest, a food bank in Kent.
The ace player began playing volleyball in seventh grade.
"I was just one of those kids who played every sport," Roeder said.
As for volleyball, "it just stuck with me," she said.
With volleyball, she could play with a team yet play different positions, including serving or playing defense. For her, the Issaquah High varsity volleyball team is family. Six of its players, including Roeder, stayed on the team all four years. Roeder personally accepts new varsity players into the fold.
"She just motivates me so much and she pushes me to my limits so I do better every day," sophomore Nina Moore said. "That's my goal. I hope I can be like her when I'm an upperclassman."
Every year since Roeder's freshman year, the Issaquah High volleyball team has made it further in the state competition. Freshman year, the team was one away from state; sophomore year, they made it to state but didn't place; junior year, the girls placed fifth in state and this year they placed second in the Class 4A state final, with Roeder earning the titles of KingCo Class 4A Most Valuable Player and making The Seattle Times Star-Times Team.
She is Issaquah's career leader with 1,127 kills, second with 263 service aces and third with 1,068 digs.
With each season, "we always say it's been like a journey," Roeder said.
Roeder's grandmother, Carol Anne Weaver, has cheered at her granddaughter's games from the bleachers.
"It's exhausting, it's exciting," she said. "Especially how she has handled adversity in the last four years because you don't win them all."
Roeder plans to attend Western Washington University this fall, where she will play volleyball.
The Gatorade Player of the Year Program recognizes students in all 50 states and the District of Columbia that sanction the following sports: high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field. Gatorade awards one National Player of the Year in each sport.

Last week there was a report that Oklahoma offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson had interviewed for the head coaching vacancy at Indiana. It was a report that Bob Stoops made sure to say was wrong. Though, before he was done denying the report, Stoops did say that he hoped Wilson would get the chance to interview for the position.
Well, according to a report in the Tulsa World, that's what is about to happen. A source at Indiana told the paper that Wilson was will interview for the position on Monday night.
If Wilson does end up getting the Indiana job, it would be nice hire for the school. Wilson has been at Oklahoma working for Stoops since 2002 and became the offensive coordinator in 2006 after Chuck Long left for his ill-fated job at San Diego State. Wilson had been the co-offensive coordinator before that.
Obviously, he's been pretty successful in the postion and he won the Broyles Award in 2008 as the top assistant coach in the country when he ran a very prolific Oklahoma offense that got Sam Bradford a Heisman Trophy in 2008. This season's offense was fourth in the nation in passing yards with 336.8 yards a game, and ranked 17th with 36.4 points per game. Of course, there's a slight difference between the talent at Oklahoma and the talent at Indiana.

What is Business Ethics?
Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2010

Hanson was a pioneer in the business ethics field. He holds the John Courtney Murray S.J. University Professorship of Social Ethics at SCU and is the co-editor of a four-volume series, The Accountable Corporation.

.............. I drew my knees up and looked out of the window as the flight blew through the lower clouds bringing us out in the clear blue the book rested on my lap my fingers drumming absently on its cover.
"Mind if I sit down?" I looked up at Page "Kerion is trying to beat Alfie with Angry birds" I smiled at her as she sat down
"You wait till you see the rock band battles" I sighed "It's chaos"
"You look sad?"
"I'm not… not really" I waved the book "even being a Marine you must have heard I'm supposed to be the Character in here" she nodded "Well thanks to my darling mother everyone has this impression of me that's unfair and to an extent untrue"
"Will you be mad if I said I've read them?"
"No… hell my own sister-in-law has them" I shook my head "This is the new one" I handed it to her as her eyes took in the title
"Ouch" she pulled a face "I take it your Momma has something against you?"
"My Mom is a woman that's in her own world and took my diary to make my life and Stephanie's intertwine" I took the book back, "she tried to have a movie made of Rock Baby and wanted Kellan to play Abel"
"He was the guy that beat Stephanie right"
"Yep, modeled on the guy that used to beat me" I sighed before smiling at the Steward as he handed me a beer and offered one to Page She took it "Can I ask you something?"
"Did you and Kellan really… I mean we're you both… you don't have to tell me" She chewed her lip
"Yes we hooked up" I nodded
'And you dumped him!?" I started laughing "I mean no offence"
"None taken and no I didn't dump him and he didn't dump me we… well we we're better off as friends he wanted his girl to be with him and wake up with her and I was 3 weeks into a world tour with Nickelback… and we've been best friends ever since"
'Wow… I know I read stories about you and him and then seen those ads but then the next thing there was stories about you and Chad Kroeger, I just thought it was strange"
"I guess looking at it from the outside it is a little strange but Chad's" I chewed my lip "I told him more things about my life in the space of a month than I'd told friends I'd had for years, he's pretty amazing"
"Will I get to meet him?"
"Meet him, you'll be eating, living and touring with all of us for the next three weeks" I laughed and took a drink "Kerions a good guy you know" she looked over to where he and Alfie were head to head planning on their phones "He's sweet and he's a goof ball but I love him like a brother" she looked at me
"He told me you'd probably have a don't hurt him talk" she smiled
"He was right, I have to live with him when you're not around and I swear to you Marine or not I won't let my friends be hurt" I looked at her.
"I understand and to tell you the truth I was head over heels in love with him before I saw him yesterday, he's written and e-mailed five, six times a week. I was shocked as all hell when I found out he was a Rock Star, but even at dinner last night he was still the same sexy sweet guy that got in touch with me on the computer" I nodded "When I'm not around will you watch over him for me?"
"What you mean like tip his ass into bed when he gets drunk" I laughed "Because we have Danny and Corey for that"
"You have us for what?" Danny walked down the aisle
"Tipping our drunk ass into bed" I looked at him
"Yep" he laughed "and fighting off the groupies that good stuff, Keeping her from hitting people she shouldn't" he pointed at me
'Hey that was Kerion that stopped me beating her ass" I pouted "as long as you won't step in if I come face to face with my Mother"
"You might be stopping me Honey" he got up "Chad know yet" he looked at the book I shook my head "He's going to be pissed"
"I know" He walked away
"Protective bunch aren't they" Page chewed her lip
'If they like you hell yes if not run and don't look back" I dropped the book into my bag "My Mother is on the top of their Shit list right now"
"Not yours?"
"Oh I have others topping that list" I leant back in the seat "Oh and if you're worried, Kerion's not a take the groupie back to the hotel kinda guy I promise you that" she blushed "You'll see stuff that'll make your blood boil but don't let it get to you okay"
'Like what?' She frowned
"Girls asking to get their boobs signed" Suzanne lent on the seat in front
'He out cold?" I asked peering over at Pete
'Yup" she nodded
'Girls actually do that?" Page screwed up her nose
"Oh that and a whole lot more" I nodded "You'll find numbers in his pockets don't worry about it they push all sorts of numbers and pictures at you"
"Do you get it as well?"
"Yep" I nodded "not to the degree of guys wanting certain things signed but oh yeah I get it"
"Wow I know what I'm like if someone comes on to him I'll want my sidearm and shoot them" Page pushed her hand through her hair
"Well join our Marines as his body guard" I laughed
"I'm a nurse" she grinned
"A tough assed one" Danny laughed as he walked back down the cabin "Hell I wouldn't mess with a Marine Corps Nurse they can hurt your ass in more ways than we were ever taught"
"You've dealt with a few of us then?' Page laughed
"Oh Yeah I broke my arm falling out of a Humvee in Kuwait and damn I thought that hurt till it was re-set"
"Pain is weakness leaving the body" Page lifted her beer to him
"OOH RAH" he nodded
"Are you too having a moment?" Kerion looked up from his phone
"A Marine Moment" Page grinned
"You know the guys are going to want to know if you've got the nurses outfit?" Alfie leant forward "Well we all want to know that actually"
"Hey that's my girlfriend" Kerion looked at him
"Sorry But you grew up with mine you're seriously not going to want to see her in a nurse outfit when we all saw her underwear when she was six on the monkey bars in school"
"Do I have to call Heidi?" I groaned
"No" Alfie got wide eyed
"She fell off and got concussion" Kerion laughed "Oh hell I'm so giving her crap about that"
"What are they talking about?" Page whispered to me
"Pete, Kerion and Alfie have grown up together since kindergarten" I explained "Alfie's girlfriend Heidi did as well"
"It's crazy when you see them all start arguing like these guys aren't rock stars" Suzanne grinned "I just sat there open mouthed when Miranda Gibbs slapped Pete for something… I mean you think rock star no one would dare"
"We're still the same people that we were especially with our friends that new us before this insanity all started" I shrugged, the conversation flowed easily as the flight seemed to drag on all of us relaxing and kicking back before craziness began to rain again…………..

More national laws needed to stop gun violence
Being a resident of New Jersey and a firearms owner, I am well aware of tough gun laws. New Jersey has some of the most onerous gun laws in the nation.
Possession of so-called assault rifles is prohibited. In order to legally purchase any type of long gun, a New Jersey resident must possess a firearms ID card. These are obtained from your local police department and require fingerprinting for a fee, a background check and the signature of your local police chief.
If you purchase a rifle or a shotgun from a dealer, you are subject to another background check through the State Police, again for a fee, even with the ID card.
If you want to purchase a handgun, you must go back to the police department and file an application for a permit, , again with fingerprinting and a background check for a fee.
The handgun permit must also be signed by your local police chief, and if he/she is of the belief that private citizens should not own guns, even though state law says you must receive your permit within 30 days, he can hold it up for months. Possession of an unregistered handgun in New Jersey, even if you are not a convicted felon, is automatic jail time.
There are other states where all a resident needs to purchase any kind of firearm from a dealer, including assault rifles, is a driver's license and a federal instant background check.
We don't need more laws on the books, at least not in New Jersey. We need to pass a set of sensible national laws governing the possession of firearms that allow law-abiding citizens to exercise their rights under the Second Amendment but do what they can to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.

Stoogemania at Homeland Security
Harry Reid sabotaged the filibuster, and now the Democrats are running wild in Washington. Thanks to Reid's crony-coddling rule change, unqualified stooges will manage the Obama administration's Department of Homeland Security.
Last week, the Senate voted to end debate on the nomination of Jeh Johnson to head DHS. Johnson went on to win his appointment by a 78-16 margin.
Johnson, who will lead a department that employs 240,000 people and boasts a $40 billion budget, has never actually held an executive position governing a state or managing a complex organization. Let me summarize his relevant experience in border security, port security, airport security and immigration enforcement: Zero. Zip. Nada.
He's a lifelong beneficiary of the government/law firm revolving door, dating back to the Clinton years.
Johnson counts among the "big breaks" in his life a fateful meeting with Barack Obama in 2006. He went on to shovel gobs of money into Obama's campaigns and Democrat coffers. In 2008, this top campaign finance bundler served on the Team Obama transition team. Next, Johnson found himself appointed to the position of general counsel at the Defense Department. He was "involved" in ending the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and reportedly "oversaw" the use of unmanned drone strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
White House aides claim that Johnson is a "respected national security leader." But respected by whom (other than Democrat fundraisers) the administration will not say.
Perhaps we might comfort ourselves if the No. 2 in charge at DHS had strong qualifications and a record on national security to compensate for Johnson's deficiencies. Sorry. Reid exploited the nuked filibuster threshold to ram through Alejandro Mayorkas' nomination as deputy DHS secretary. Mayorkas remains under investigation for a partisan cash-for-foreign-investor-visas scandal by the DHS inspector general's office, which itself remains under investigation for fraud and ethics violations that endanger national security.
At DHS, adjudicators remain under pressure to rubber-stamp visa applications. Open-border ideologues continue to push for administrative amnesty programs behind closed doors and in circumvention of congressional oversight. And whistleblowers are an endangered species.
The elevation of Obama's stooge donors to the two highest civilian Homeland Security posts in the country comes as both vote-seeking Democrats and big-business Republicans prepare for another illegal-alien-amnesty push next year.
As Dan Stein of the immigration-enforcement group FAIR noted this week: "There is no mistaking the signals the president has sent to the American people. ... President Obama has called on the House to pass 'comprehensive' immigration reform, yet nominated an individual to head DHS who has zero immigration experience. Thus, it is clear the president wants the amnesty portion of such a bill, but has little or no intention of prioritizing any enforcement measures that might be contained in it."
Homeland security threats and ciphers are running Homeland Security. God help us all.

Here are the upcoming feature length animations that will be hoping to work their way into our hearts, in 2014. From Disney to Pixar and new work from Hayao Miyazki, it's a big year for our imaginations.
Animation films
2014 round up
Every year, we are treated to a series of heart warming and tear jerking moral tales, told through the actions of the cutest and most endearing animated characters.
I decided to take a look into the not so distant future, to see what we can expect from animation in 2014. Here's a round up of the best, so far.
Disney Pixar – The Good Dinosaur
Set in a world where an asteroid never hit earth, the dinosaurs continue to roam the planet, making life a little troublesome for the humans that share the space. While the storyline has been kept under wraps, the title is a good indication of what else we could be in store for, indicating that there are dinosaurs that are good… meaning that there are most certainly those that are bad. We also know that it focuses on Arlo, a 70-foot-tall teenage Apatosaur who becomes friends with an unlikely character, a young human boy called spot. Together they attempt to restore peace in Arlo's once tranquil community. It features the voices of Judy Greer, Neil Patrick Harris and Bill Hader.
Release date – Late May / Early June 2014
Toei Animation – Harlock: Space Pirate
The year is 2977 and a mighty battle between the exiled human race and the Gaia Coalition, which governs the human race across the different galaxies but things are about to change. In steps Captain Harlock and the crew of the Arcadia battle cruiser, who know the secrets of the Gaia that will change things for good. With the Coalition demanding Harlock's death and a plan to infiltrate the Arcadia, Harlock must make decisions that not only put his life in danger, but also the fate of the human race… YES PLEASE! Directed by Shinji Aramaki, this film is set to be shown at the 70th Film Festival in the Out Of Competition category.
Release date – January 2014
Warner Bros – Lego: The Movie
The title kind of says it all but just so we are all on the same page, this wonderful looking film is about ordinary guy Emmet, who is mistaken as being a Master Builder and the one who can save the universe. Along with a wise old mystic and Batman, Emmet goes head to head with the evil Lord Business, who was to destroy the universe by gluing it together. What an evil plot, indeed. It features the voices of Chris Pratt, Morgan Freeman, Will Arnett and Elizabeth Banks.
Release date – Early February 2014
The Boxtrolls
One that is going to be a big hit next year is the inventive and hopelessly cute looking The Boxtrolls, which is based on the children's novel 'Here Be Monsters' by Alan Snow. An orphaned boy is raised by an odd bunch of underground cave-dwelling trash collectors called Boxtrolls. When the ugly but kind Boxtrolls are targeted by an exterminator called Archibald Snatcher, the young boy, called Eggs, has to save his friends from his evil plans. Starring the voices of Simon Pegg, Elle Fanning, Ben Kingsley and Toni Collette, you can be sure that this is going to be one for all the family.
Release date – September 2014
Dreamworks Animation – Me and My Shadow
Combining both 3D computer and traditional animation, Me and My Shadow tells the story of Stanley Grubb and his shadow. While Stanley is achingly boring, his shadow is a lively, fun and big thinking chap that is dying to have a bit more fun than what his owner allows him to. But, he takes things into his own hands, breaking the rules of Shadow World and taking control of Stanley. Naughty naughty. If you're wondering how the animation will be split, the human world will be crafted in 3D computer animation and the shadow world in traditional. Very nice indeed. Voiced by Josh Gad, Bill Hader and Kate Hudson, this will be storming this cinemas in early Spring.
Release Date – March 2014
Disney – Big Hero 6
Ready to hear the fans complaining about the upcoming Disney Marvel animation film adaptation of Big Hero 6? Well, you had better be. With the title lacking the familiar Disney ring, director Don Hall feels the obscurity of Marvel's Big Hero 6 has allowed those making the film be more creative than they have for a long time. Based around Hiro Hamada, a teenage robotics genius, who transforms his robot best friend into a badass superhero, leading them to join a team of crime fighters that are on a mission to save the city. How are Disney going to cope with melding Marvel's fanbase with their instantly likeable character creations? Only time will tell. The above clip is only a very first look at the world that the characters will be living in. Things are looking exciting.
Release date – November 2014
Studio Ghibli – The Wind Rises
The much loved Japanese animation directors Hayao Miyazaki is gearing up to win the world over with his upcoming tale of Jiro Horikoshi, the man who deisnged Japanese fighter planes during World War II. It has already bowled over audiences in Japan and those at the Toronto Film Festival and The Wind Rises is set to continue its success when it screens at the Venice Film Festival Saturday 31. Let's see how it fairs in the official competition.
Release Date – TBC

Bill Emmott, a former editor of the Economist magazine, has written that George W. Bush's "bold initiative" to strengthen U.S. relations with India "may eventually be judged by historians as a move of great strategic importance and imagination." It "may turn out to be the most significant foreign policy achievement of the Bush administration," says historian Sugata Bose, an India expert at Harvard. Bilateral ties had improved toward the end of the Clinton administration, thanks largely to the efforts of Strobe Talbott, then serving as deputy secretary of state, and Jaswant Singh, then serving as Indian foreign minister. But "the big jump in relations came under President Bush," says Columbia economist Arvind Panagariya, author of the 2008 book India: The Emerging Giant.
By far the most controversial element of Bush's India policy was the U.S.-India civilian nuclear cooperation agreement, which Congress approved this past fall.
By far the most controversial element of Bush's India policy was the U.S.-India civilian nuclear cooperation agreement, which Congress approved this past fall. It was announced in 2005 but then delayed for years by opposition from Democrats in Washington, left-wing parties in New Delhi, and an Indian nuclear establishment that was skeptical of U.S. intentions. "The determination of the White House was very important," says Panagariya, who believes the Bush administration played a "crucial" role in convincing the Indian government to fight for the deal.
Critics of the nuclear pact "really exaggerated the risks to the non-proliferation regime," says Stephen Cohen, an India expert at the Brookings Institution. As part of the accord, India has accepted new international safeguards on its nuclear program. In turn, the United States has lifted a longstanding ban on U.S.-India civilian nuclear trade. Cohen predicts that the deal will help New Delhi pursue a more sensible arms control policy.
Beyond the nuclear pact, the United States and India have also upgraded their broader strategic cooperation. After the 2004 Asian tsunami, they launched a joint relief mission with Japan and Australia. In June 2005, they signed a new defense framework which enhanced bilateral military ties and stated that "the United States and India agree on the vital importance of political and economic freedom, democratic institutions, the rule of law, security, and opportunity around the world. The leaders of our two countries are building a U.S.-India strategic partnership in pursuit of these principles and interests." In September 2007, India hosted and participated in multilateral naval exercises that included ships from the United States, Japan, Australia, and Singapore.
To appreciate where U.S.-India relations are today, recall how frosty they were during much of the latter half of the 20th century. The first prime minister of independent India, Jawaharlal Nehru, who served from 1947 to 1964, was an avowed socialist and champion of the Non-Aligned Movement. Throughout the Cold War, Indian scholar Ramachandra Guha writes in his 2007 book, India After Gandhi, the United States "tilted markedly toward" Pakistan while India "tilted somewhat toward" the Soviet Union. (During the 1971 India-Pakistan war, Richard Nixon groused to Henry Kissinger that "the Indians are no goddamn good.") It was not until the late 1990s, notes Guha, "that the United States moved toward a position of equidistance between India and Pakistan."
Today, the U.S.-India partnership seems to make perfect strategic sense: Both countries are English-speaking democracies; both are wary of a rising China; both are fighting against Islamic terrorism; and both have an interest in promoting bilateral economic cooperation. India wants to secure a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, and it needs America's support. Economic links between the two countries are now "so strong that they stabilize the overall relationship," says Cohen.
Then there is the cultural dimension of the relationship. Panagariya points out that most people in India have a relative, friend, or neighbor who is a member of the Indian diaspora. "They see so many Indians being successful in the U.S.," he says. India is a youthful country, and its younger generation has no serious connection to the anti-Americanism of the Cold War era. In a 2008 Pew Global Attitudes Project survey, 66 percent of Indians expressed a favorable view of the United States.
To be sure, the U.S. and Indian governments will not always be in harmony. Bose says that India probably took a more "strident" position than necessary in the Doha round of global trade talks, which collapsed in late July after a fierce debate over agricultural policy. He adds that Indian officials are worried about Barack Obama's commitment to free trade, given his repeated criticism of "companies that ship jobs overseas." American officials, meanwhile, are concerned about India's relatively warm relations with Iran. But Panagariya says the Iran issue will not prove a major hindrance to U.S.-India collaboration. After all, India is very friendly with Israel. "You don't hear a peep out of the Israelis about India's Iran policy," says Cohen.
As for Pakistan, it has always bedeviled U.S.-India relations. Now the war in Afghanistan is complicating things even more. In the aftermath of the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, "India and the United States are likely to come closer," says Bose, provided the Americans use their leverage with Pakistan and pressure Islamabad to reform its army, clean up its intelligence services, and clamp down on militant groups. Despite all the saber-rattling, Bose expects that New Delhi will stay focused on its international ambitions and act prudently.
"India wants to play a role on the global stage," he says. Right now, however, with a national election due by May, the South Asian giant is experiencing severe economic turmoil. The worldwide downturn has taken a harsh toll on India and disrupted its lengthy run of 9 percent annual GDP growth. World Bank economist Sadiq Ahmed reckons that the Indian growth rate will dip below 7 percent in the 2008-2009 fiscal year and below 6 percent in the 2009-2010 fiscal year. "Job losses are going to be enormous due to the global slowdown," Indian commerce ministry spokesman Rajiv Jain recently told Bloomberg News. Meanwhile, the Indian financial industry has been rocked by news of a massive fraud scandal at outsourcing giant Satyam.
Painful as they are, India's economic troubles should not be overblown. "It's not a disaster scenario by any means," says Ahmed, who thinks that Indian policymakers have thus far done "a very good job" in responding to the slump. He notes that inflation has fallen sharply, interest rates have returned to normal levels, and the domestic liquidity situation has stabilized. India is benefiting from its high savings rate. "We are not expecting a prolonged downturn," says Ahmed.
Whatever its current woes, India has remarkable potential. Its middle class is still dwarfed by that of China, but it will balloon over the next few decades. A May 2007 McKinsey Global Institute study estimated that between 2005 and 2025, average real household disposable income in India will nearly triple, the Indian middle class will swell from roughly 50 million people to around 583 million, and the country's consumer market will grow from the 12th largest in the world to the fifth largest.
Goldman Sachs reckons that India could have a larger economy than the United States by 2050. As Goldman economists Jim O'Neill and Tushar Poddar observed in a June 2008 paper, the United Nations has projected that India's population will increase by around 310 million between 2000 and 2020. "India will in effect create the equivalent of another U.S.," wrote O'Neill and Poddar, "and for those of working age between 2000 and 2020, India will create the equivalent of the combined working population of France, Germany, Italy, and the U.K. We estimate another 140 million people will migrate to Indian cities by 2020."
India's long-term progress is stunning. The 2007 McKinsey study pointed out that, "in effect, there are 431 million fewer poor people in India today than there would have been if poverty had remained at its 1985 rate." There is no question that "India's economic reforms, and the increased growth that has resulted, have been the most successful anti-poverty program in the country's history."
Long a bastion of socialism, India flirted with economic liberalization during the 1980s, under the leadership of Rajiv Gandhi, who served as prime minister from 1984 to 1989 (and was assassinated in 1991). But the reform process didn't begin for real until 1991, when India was facing an economic crisis. As Robyn Meredith of Forbes magazine writes in her 2007 book, The Elephant and the Dragon, some 110 million Indians "had been thrown into poverty in just the preceding two years," and "330 million people, or two of every five Indians, lived below the poverty line." Inflation had surged to 17 percent, and the country "was flat broke."
In response, the Indian finance minister, Manmohan Singh, embraced a bold agenda of deregulation, privatization, tariff reductions, and tax cuts. Singh devalued the rupee, removed obstacles to foreign investment, and expanded trade. "Early steps were also taken to open telecommunications and domestic civil aviation to the private sector," writes Panagariya. "These measures yielded the handsome growth rate of 7.1 percent between 1993-94 and 1996-97, and also placed the economy on a long-term growth trajectory of 6 percent."
The reform process stalled in the late 1990s but regained momentum during the third term of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, which began in 1999. As Panagariya writes, "the Vajpayee government systematically moved to open the economy to foreign and domestic competition and to build the country's infrastructure." Singh's Congress Party took power in 2004 as the leading coalition member of the United Progressive Alliance, and Singh became prime minister. Economic reformers had high hopes for the government, especially given Singh's record as finance minister, but they have been disappointed, as the reform process has stagnated.
Moving forward, further economic reforms will be critical. The United Nations Population Fund says that India will eclipse China as the world's most populous country by 2050. Will India's population explosion produce a "demographic dividend," or a demographic disaster? "That's the million-dollar question," says Bose. Indeed, a rising population does not guarantee that India will fulfill its potential. It will need to create millions of new jobs and also ensure that its workers are properly equipped to do those jobs. In their recent paper, O'Neill and Poddar outlined ten steps that India must take "to achieve its 2050 potential." These include strengthening its education system, containing inflation, liberalizing its financial markets, boosting trade with its neighbors, and improving its infrastructure.
India's biggest weaknesses are education and infrastructure. As Emmott writes in his 2008 book, Rivals, "The country's large, young population will not be an economic advantage unless it can be educated to the standards required by manufacturers and service companies." The current Indian education system "is grossly inadequate for that task, and putting that right will be costly." Consider these numbers: "Only 28 percent of India's schools had electricity in 2005; only half had more than two teachers or two classrooms." India has a significantly lower literacy rate than countries such as China, Vietnam, and Malaysia, Emmott notes.
As for the infrastructure problem, it remains a huge drag on Indian economic growth. According to the World Bank, more than half of India's state highways are in "poor condition." In its latest survey of global competitiveness, the World Economic Forum found that Indian business executives consider "inadequate supply of infrastructure" to be "the most problematic factor for doing business" in their country. The next four "most problematic factors" were (in order) "inefficient government bureaucracy," "corruption," "restrictive labor regulations," and "tax regulations."
Though India has come a long way since the 1991 crisis, its business sector remains heavily shackled. The latest World Bank report on "the ease of doing business" around the world ranks India a lowly 122nd out of 181 economies. By comparison, China ranks 83rd. Meanwhile, the most recent Index of Economic Freedom, compiled by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal, ranks India 123rd out of 179 economies, barely ahead of Rwanda.
"Indians joke that India is like a drunk walking home: it takes one step forward, then two steps sideways, but eventually makes it home," writes Meredith. "Indian reforms, hampered especially by local politics, tend to lurch ahead, then jolt to a stop, only to hurl forward again." Besides local politics, Indian reforms have also been hampered by persistent social tensions, ethnic conflicts, and domestic security threats. As Meredith observes, "The advances of the glittering New India mask stubborn problems, such as high child-mortality rates, violence against women, caste-based discrimination, and religious strife."
The 2008 Mumbai massacre offered a grisly reminder that India has long been plagued by Islamic terrorism. (In December 2001, jihadists attacked the Indian parliament building.) It has also spent several decades battling Maoist rebels known as "Naxalites." Then there is the longstanding dispute over Kashmir and plenty of other spats with India's nuclear-armed neighbor, Pakistan. Tensions with Islamabad have been high in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks. Though many Indians wish they could just disregard Pakistan, that is not a viable option. "When you have a neighbor whose house is falling down, you simply can't ignore it," says Cohen.
Barack Obama will inherit a dangerous situation in Pakistan, but he will also inherit a U.S.-India partnership that is stronger than ever. Over the coming decades, as global power continues shifting to Asia, the importance of that partnership will only increase. Embracing India may indeed prove to be a significant part of President Bush's legacy. As Bose puts it, Bush elevated the relationship "to a completely new level."

Microsoft cuts price of Surface Pro 2 before Surface Pro 3 ships
updated 07:40 am EDT, Wed June 18, 2014
Discounts of $100, $200 on Surface Pro 2 through Microsoft Store
Microsoft has cut the price of the Surface Pro 2 tablet in the United States, before the latest incarnation of the device, the Surface Pro 3, starts shipping. Echoing a similar discounting scheme in the United Kingdom, the lower cost of previous-generation Surface Pro tablets comes at the same time as news that there could be some delays in Surface Pro 3 shipments.
Microsoft Surface Pro 2
The new Surface Pro 2 pricing, spotted by WPCentral, removes between $100 and $200 off the cost of the device through the Microsoft Store. The 64GB and 128GB models have reduced down by $100 each to $799 and $899 respectively, while the 256GB version has been cut from $1,299 to $1,099, and the 512GB model is being sold for $1,599 instead of $1,799.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3
Originally, pre-orders for only the Core i5 128GB and 256GB versions were going to ship on June 20th, though Ubergizmo reports the Core i5 128GB model will instead ship by June 30th. Shipments of the 64GB Core i3, as well as both the 256GB and 512GB variants of the Core i7 model, are not due until August.

Goodell on CBA: 'There will be an agreement'
After receiving an honorary doctorate with his brothers on behalf of their late father and addressing the nearly 2,400 graduates of UMass-Lowell's Class of 2010, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell held a press conference with Patriots owner Robert Kraft and the two were asked a wide variety of questions.
There were, of course, several that were league-related and handled by Goodell:
On the status of talks for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement and the prospect of the 2011 season being impacted:
"There's really no specific update on the negotiations at this time. We do have meetings scheduled in the next few weeks and we do have work to do. But there's still a lot of football to be played, so we're going to be playing this season with absolutely no interruption and it's not unusual that we are where we are. I don't think any of us are surprised. We need to get to work, but there will be an agreement."
On whether "joint practices" during training camp will become more prevalent if/when the league goes to an 18-game regular season:
"It's a very good question. What we're trying to evaluate, not just as part of the enhanced season, is how do we get prepared for a season, including the offseason? How do we get our athletes ready to play? How do we evaluate younger players, and make sure that we put the best quality product on the field? That's the goal. And it's clear that the quality of the preseason is not up to snuff, in large part because the players aren't playing. The other part is they are meaningless games. Fans, in this kind of [economic] environment, want quality, and it's our job to figure out how to deliver that. So I think as we look at the enhanced season and how we want to change the offseason, very much the scrimmages will probably play a part of that. The large part of it though will be evaulating the talent and making sure we develop the talent -- those are two key issues, making sure we evaluate and develop the talent.
On when the new overtime rules for the postseason will also be applied in the regular season:
"We tabled the issue for this year [at the owners' meeting last week] because we want to do this incrementally. We have what I think is a very innovative idea and we'll see if we have any experience with it in this year's playoffs and then we'll have an opportunity to discuss it, through whatever normal competition committee process, including with our players and business partners and make the right kind of decision next year."
We'll have more shortly...

When I purchased my Avanti Solo 2012 model it had Kenda KARVS 700/25 tyres on it and I was thinking of replacing the tyres on Harrier with them when my coastie rear wheel arrives from coasties.com. Trouble is I can't seem to find any for sale locally. The reason I would like them is because I like the look of the tyre and they are wearing really well on the Solo. If not the KARVS something that looks similar would do I just don't like the look of the others.
Off for a lunch time ride.

Melinda Woods Carpenter, an 8th grade science teacher at Summersville Middle School in Summersville and Sarah Mullins, an 8th grader at Ritchie County Middle School, have been selected as National Teacher and Student Argonauts and will participate in a two-year internship with The JASON Project, a nonprofit subsidiary of the National Geographic Society.
Carpenter is one of the one-hundred and ten West Virginia teachers who have received JASON training at Glenville State College, and Mullins is one of over four-thousand students that have been exposed to JASON curriculum by these teachers. Mullin's Ritchie County Middle School Science teacher, Katrina Andrews, also has received JASON training through Glenville State College.
JASON's science curriculum and professional development training was implemented beginning in the summer of 2009 at Glenville State College's Hidden Promise Consortium. The partnership between the Consortium, Glenville State College and JASON has been made possible by special funding secured by U.S. Rep. Alan Mollohan (WV). JASON connects students with 'great explorers and great events' to inspire and motivate them to pursue science and related careers.
"I am extremely proud to have Melinda and Sarah selected to represent 5th-8th grade science teachers and students from our Hidden Promise Consortium counties," said Dr. Peter B. Barr, President of Glenville State College. "Their accomplishments are extraordinary and now everyone in their schools and in Nicholas and Ritchie counties as well as the entire Consortium, will be able to follow their progress on this exciting adventure."
Among the nine students and four teachers selected through an international competition, Carpenter and Mullins will take part in field expeditions led by top scientists from NOAA, NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy, National Geographic and other organizations. Their work will be featured in JASON's upcoming curriculum units in Space, Climate, and Forces and Motion, scheduled for release in 2011.
"Melinda and Sarah are already role models, but now they will have even greater reach and impact by joining the expeditions and becoming part of a science curriculum used around the world," said Caleb M. Schutz, President of The JASON Project. "They will be in a position to share their passion for science with students and teachers everywhere, and we are delighted to have them join us."
To prepare for their fieldwork, Carpenter, Mullins and their fellow Argonauts, named for the crew that sailed aboard Argo with Jason, the mythological Greek explorer, will attend 'boot camp' July 11-22 in Washington, D.C. and other locations, where they will study the science content and learn protocols for scientific investigation. Subsequently, they will venture into the field with scientists and a video production crew to capture footage for JASON's multimedia curriculum units.
After the expedition, Carpenter and Mullins will work with JASON staff to help develop, review, and eventually launch new curriculum units.
"I am thrilled with the opportunity to become part of the JASON team. As a teacher, I can see the impact JASON is having and I look forward to sharing my experience with others," said Carpenter.
"This is a dream come true, and I just can't wait to get started," said Mullins.
JASON's new curriculum line, designed for students in grades 5-8 and used throughout K-12 for differentiated instruction, reaches an estimated 2 million students annually. All units are aligned to state and national science standards and have garnered multiple national education and technology awards.
More than 11 million students and teachers have used JASON curriculum since its founding in 1989 by Dr. Robert Ballard, the National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence who is best known for discovering RMS Titanic and who today serves as Chairman and Chief Scientist.
Last month, Dr. Robert Ballard visited Glenville State College to recount his discovery of RMS Titanic and other underwater exploits to over 1,000 Consortium students and teachers. He also joined U.S. Rep. Mollohan and other distinguished visitors in recognizing student and teacher Argonaut applicants, and the dozens of teachers and students who showcased examples of their work with JASON curriculum.
Glenville State College will be offering summer professional development for teachers who have not completed JASON training, and sessions for those who wish to be trained in additional units are scheduled for June 21-25 and August 9-13. For more information about these sessions or the JASON Project, contact Ed Toman, GSC JASON Project Director, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (304) 462-7361 ext. 6023.

If you'll recall, Sony already pulled the plug on the 60 gigger here in the US, and now it seems that it will face a similar fate across the pond. According to Nick Sharples, director of corporate communications for Sony in Europe, "anyone who wants to buy a 60GB PS3 for Christmas is not going to have a problem," so those desperately needing an extra bit of HDD space (and / or backwards compatibility for PS2 titles) should be alright through the end of the year.
