Top running back candidates for Sooners this season
Here's a look at the top candidates to carry the ball this season for the Sooners.
No more complaining about Roy Finch and how he doesn't get the ball enough.
He's gone.
Also gone is Brennan Clay, a consistent performer the past four seasons and Damien Williams, the team's most-explosive runner.
In their place? Well, that's to be determined.
OU has it's quarterback in place, but the running back position is still a question mark.
Wednesday, we took a look at some under the radar offensive players. It's here.
Thursday, we took a look at some of the under the radar defensive players. It's here.
Today, here's a look at the top candidates to carry the ball this season for the Sooners.
Keith Ford, So.
Ford seemed to be on a rapid ascent to the top of the running back chart last season, but was undone by fumbles. Ford also was hurt in the second half of the season.
He fumbled against Texas and again against Kansas and then didn't touch the ball until the Sugar Bowl. If Sooner coaches are convinced Ford can hold on to the ball, he'll likely be the No. 1 running back this season.
Ford had 23 carries for 134 yards and averaged more than 5 yards per carry. The 5-foot-11, 206-pound running back is the kind of runner who looks for contact. In that regard, OU hasn't had a runner like Ford since Adrian Peterson.
Alex Ross, So.
Like Ford, Ross also suffered from a lack of trust from the coaching staff. He picked up a personal foul penalty in the first game of the season and had just two carries the rest of the year. This season, things could be a lot different for the 6-1, 221-pounder from Jenks, Okla.
Ross is big and is fast and the best thing going for him is there is no one established in front of him on the roster.

Joe Mixon, Fr.
No better time for Mixon to show up than this year. The 5-star recruit will have an immediate chance to show what he's got.
After an extensive recruiting process, Mixon chose OU and has been tweeting about it ever since. Mixon is not lacking for confidence.
Mixon ran for 1,704 yards and 23 touchdowns last season in high school and had 1,443 yards the before that as a junior.
Samaje Perine, Fr.
Lots of hype for Mixon, but Perine, 5-11, 238 is more like a fullback in looks. He's aggressive and can run between the tackles like Ford and has speed to get outside as well.
If Mixon plays this season, Perine will, too. Don't be surprised to see both in the mix.

Pests: Why an annual contract?
TweetTime and time again I receive questions regarding the relevance of an annual agreement for pest control services.

Two years ago city officials considered closing the Pioneer Park Aviary as a way to trim the city budget.
But the idea was dismissed by the City Council Finance Committee as soon as it was brought up. The Aviary -- like Pioneer Park -- is generally considered one of the jewels of the city.
Yes, money was tight in 2008 but city officials felt it would be better to fund the Aviary ($50,000 a year) and then look into finding a citizens' group to partner with to raise funds specifically for the Aviary.
Today the Aviary is once again on the chopping block and the financial situation for city government is far worse. The city is looking at a revenue shortfall of $1.3 million, which means there simply isn't enough cash coming in to fund all the city's wants and even some of its needs. Serious, painful cuts are going to be made.
But it's shortsighted to do away with the Aviary. Eliminating the Aviary is a permanent solution to the temporary budget problem. If the Aviary is shut down, it's never coming back. It would be nearly impossible -- and very expensive -- to rebuild an aviary to the current level.
If the Aviary is closed the birds would have to be sent elsewhere.
And what would be done with the Aviary area? Would it be left to deteriorate into a mess? Or would the city dismantle the bird sanctuary and revamp it for another use?
Leaving to it deteriorate would be unacceptable and revamping it would eliminate any savings. Neither alternative is good.
The most reasonable approach is the one taken two years ago. Fund the Aviary and continue looking for a partner.
Perhaps this time a partner organization can be found as it's clear the situation is growing more and more troubling.
At some point, particularly if the economy doesn't begin to show steady improvement, city officials might have no choice but to close the Aviary. This is especially true if citizens don't rally to the cause. Silence would be interpretted as acceptance.
This budget cycle will likely see serious reductions to the library budget, the parks budget and maybe even the fire and police budgets. Everything will be -- and should be -- looked at and discussed.
Eliminating the Aviary is not a prudent step. In time, tax collections will pick up and the city will once again have steady, reliable revenue to operate.
Nevertheless, it would be best if a club or organization could take over funding of the Aviary to ensure long-term stability.

Kembang Kuning Ocean View Bungalows
A great hideaway.
What we say:
One of the advantages of travelling with a four-year-old boy is he tends to leave a steady trail of toy matchbox cars on beaches here and there. On our recent travels through Flores in eastern Indonesia, the boy in question happened to leave a firetruck in the sand at Seraya Island. A day or so later, a couple of Canadian travellers we had met there stumbled upon it and dropped us an email a few days later saying they'd be in Bingin in south Bali and if we could face the drive over we were welcome to come visit to pick it up. What better excuse does one need to visit Bingin, one of the top surfing locations in Bali?
We've stayed at Bingin a couple of times over the years and we have a very soft spot for the cliff-face room at Temple Lodge, but at more than $100 a night, it's not something we do often — to be honest, we've only ever done it once, but we tell everyone to go there. We'd sent our Canadian friends there as well, but the Lodge was full and they pointed them next door, to the charming and very reasonably priced Kembang Kuning Ocean View Bungalows.
The name is a bit of a misnomer, but in a good way. The accommodation is most absolutely "Ocean View" but the bungalows, if they ever existed are long gone, replaced with a series of two-storey buildings with simple but very clean rooms upstairs and downstairs. While all offer an ocean view to some degree, definitely angle for an upstairs one if you can — the views are superb.
Facilities are simple. Bathrooms are clean but no frills and the beds are firm, but the bedding and decor a little dated. In the scheme of things this doesn't really matter as unless you're on your deathbed, chances are you'll spend precious little time inside your room. Why? Look outside.
The lawn grounds are pristinely kept, dotted with healthy frangipani and scattered with a bale here and there, and there's a cliffside, really cliffside, restaurant — peer over the side and Bingin is laid out directly below you.
At the far end of the frangipani green though, nestled behind the final bale, is the real reason for staying here — a crescent-shaped horizon pool that quite literally drops right over the edge and has views across Bingin (and down to the eyesore once known as Dreamland). This isn't the biggest pool on the block by far, and we'd imagine, when Kembang Kuning is full, it's probably noticeably small, but when we visited our Canadian mates were the only guests in residence and boy, that pool was just perfect.
Staff are friendly and obliging, and pointed out that they also own Susie's Guesthouse across the alley, which has backpacker-value rooms at 150,000 rupiah AND guests there get to use the pool here for free. Score.
It's not perfect though. There's no car parking (you'll need to use the Bingin "car parking lot" a 10-minute walk away), so don't bring a ton of luggage. There's also no WiFi, but Temple Lodge (about 12 metres away) has it, so just hit them up for lunch — their food is excellent. These are very minor points and if we hadn't been leaving the country two days later we'd have booked in, on the spot, just for the hell of it.
At 550,000 rupiah per night, Kembang Kuning Ocean View Bungalows isn't for those looking for mod cons, chilled air-con and arty decor, but if you've been travelling on a budget and want somewhere for a final splurge, somewhere that is spectacular in an old-school kind of way, we couldn't recommend this place highly enough.
Should you stay, we stashed the firetruck behind the last frangipani — feel free to invite us over to pick it up.

Tired of Zombies? Do you remember the evil toys of Sid in Toy Story the movie? We've assembled 21 evil toys ready to be maimed and shot with an arsenal of 13 guns and 2 armed vehicles. The game is a single player or 4 person FPS co-op game where you play as a toy and fight the invading toy armies of the unwanted and abused. The game has 2 modes of play, survival and objective/survival, depending on map. The game pits the "unwanted" toys of the world against the "wanted" in a real world perspective (e.g. everyday objects are huge). The environment is interactive, meaning game play varies and you can use it to your advantage in battle, e.g. shoot a basket off a hook and it will squash and kill friend or foe if it lands on them.
Here's the first image from the new Pond map and also read journalist Derek Wheatley's blog that includes a piece on Toy Wars after he attended the Game City Nights event.
Posted by YummyVegetables on May 9th, 2013
Derek makes mention of the 5th map currently under development, so I'd better show you where we are with it.
The Pond is now out of concept and has taken shape as this in game shot shows. The Garden Gnome's are also nearing completion so stay tuned as I'll soon be releasing new shots of these dudes.
Derek Wheatley's full article that reviewed the event can be read here or if you'd just like to know what he said about Toy Wars then read on :
"We had a whole new gang of people willing to show off their wares tonight, perhaps the most appreciated for his efforts alone was Neil Jones from Perth, Australia (claims he was "in the area") popped in to show us Toy Wars Invasion, or just Toy Wars, an FPS inspired by the "artwork" of bully Sid Phillips from the Toy Story movies. As a toy yourself you shoot your way through hordes of bitter and (literally) twisted toys with a variety of weaponry and driving vehicles to get to the enemy Toy Box. Seven maps will be available, such as the basement where you must charge your way through wave of insurgents or the beach where you must protect your construction workers from attack as they attempt to open up the enemy sand castle. At the perspective of a small toy you can expect these environments to be pretty grand in their scale. You can play single player or team up with a friend to show those rebel toys the true meaning of play time. A beta is close to being released with the completed seven maps (currently working on the fifth) in approximately a month on indiedb.com"

OCEANIA/PAPUA NEW GUINEA - Christians: a legislative action against polygamy is urgent
Goroka (Agenzia Fides) - Polygamy is not just an anti-Christian practice and against the moral law, but it is also a social threat. This is why a law to prevent it is urgent. With these arguments the Christian communities of Papua New Guinea, through their leaders, meetings, public speeches, are leading a campaign to outlaw polygamy in the nation. As reported to Fides by the local Church, recently a legislative action to ban polygamy was proposed by the governor of the province of Eastern Highlands, Julie Soso. Already in 1982, another political leader, Peter Peipul, demanded the banning of polygamy, calling it "disgusting" and "unconstitutional." Although in later years the reform of family law and the prohibition of polygamy was discussed, the practice remains legal.
"In areas where polygamy is still practiced, there are increasing cases of women accused of the murder of another of the wives of their husbands. Women's rights will always be trampled until polygamy remains in force. Every human being, male or female, has equal rights under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," explains in a note sent to Fides, Paul Harricknen, a Catholic lawyer and consultant to the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Papua. The Bishops, he remarks,want "the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women." "Usually polygamy is imposed on the first wives, who succumb due to their economic and social disadvantage, or simply choose to maintain their fidelity to marriage." And it is a practice that "causes chaos and abuse in society." For this reason, he concludes, "polygamy is no longer suitable for Papua New Guinea." (PA) (Agenzia Fides 21/12/2012)

I'm working on a midi foot controller for rakarrack using arduino as platform. My idea/request is if rakarrack can have an extra midi out? this midi out will communicate to the controller the state of rakarrack (FX on/off, midi On/Off, tap tempo, etc). So, every time rakarrack change his state, the lights of the controller and other stuffs will keep updated.
Other idea is the "phantom" module… je This "FX" don't' process any signal. Is only a mask for outside FX like amp distortions or any analog pedal. With this future is possible to have all the sound chain organized from rakarrack.
Ok, thats all i think. Sorry for my terrible English. Thanks all the people that makes rakarrack, a super FX processor!
Josep Andreu
Interesting ….the thing is …. what do you need exactly? … we can define a System exclusive messages … or maybe do you want more simple data …. tell me … :-)
I think SysEx are good idea. I'm sure you have more idea of how define this for rakarrack.
The very important thing that rakarrack must tell to the controller are:
- The FXs that are loaded in the preset. (the controller have 10 buttons like raka for On/Off).
- If the FXs are On or OFF in the moment that are loaded.
- Update the parameters in the controller that for some reason have been changed from the computer. This is very important with the parameters that have visual reference in the controller (Tempo, FXs On/Off,etc).
The "Phantom" module or mask FX, is for the FXs outside rakarrack. This future come up for my amp (lanney tf300). This amp have a beautiful Overdrive/Distortion that is part of my chain of sound. I think that use the FootSwitch of the amp and the controller is too difficult for live performance. Is better if all is configured in the preset of rakarrack y driven by the controller. This special module could be for reverb, flanger, delay or any FX. Of course that others FX maybe need some special improvements in the hardware controller for manipulate the parameters, but that is another history. For now FX On/Off will be great.
May be you or any one have some other ideas for the controller? I well be happy with new ideas.
Cheers!!! And thanks!!!
I'm not sure what spare digital communications pins you will have, but you may also add some LCD's at each button to indicate the FX loaded in that slot. Rakarrack could give you that information in a numerical format over MIDI (some sort of SysEX message), then internal to the arduino board you can have a table to match names to numbers and display to the LCD.
Of course, that is more complicated, and you would need LCD's. Probably Rakarrack on the computer gives you all of that feedback, but Rakarrack can be run headless… then the LCD might be a useful feature on the controller.
Just an idea.
The analog inputs can be used with real pots so you can adjust things with a knob. Unfortunately you can't change the knobs without a servo if something is changed on the computer…. I think I am dreaming too big for the arduino. It doesn't have enough pins for much more than on/off.
One thing that is realistic for an analog output pin (does it have that? You can use PWM on a digital output if there is no DAC):
VU meters. We could certainly send a VU level over MIDI, normalized to 127. Then you can either install a VU bar, or an analog meter, or even just a single LED (like clip/limit indicators).
Anyway those are ideas that come to mind right now.
wow, this is really cool. I think you're dreaming too high only in terms of how many ports the arduino has, because otherwise every single thing you said is doable on an arduino. I think it does have some analog outs, but ATM I'm not sure either… otherwise, yeah, you can do it with PWM also
We could even do a project for an "official" rakarrack pedal board, built with arduino!
O ts
it would be great !
really !
can you hurry because i need it for march 2011 ;o)
Hi everyone!
It makes me very happy you like the midi controller project for rakarrack. I propose "Rakaduino" jajajaja.
I believe that all ideas are possible. Some more complicated than others.
Although ATMEGA chips used in the arduino platform do not have too many ports of exit and entry, there are many techniques for scaling. One is the use of shift registers. Or use the analog inputs to sense different buttons through voltage dividers. That is, with some extra circuits can take advantage of the good enough arduino.
The idea of the VU bar is more than tempting. With a PWM port, resistors and diodes do the trick. (I saw some schemes on the Internet)
The LCD's would be fantastic, but too expensive and difficult to obtain, at least for me. On the other hand should be those which already have integrated serial communication, otherwise, would run out of ports. I'm not sure how many shift registers can be used together. I will use only two and that's enough for me to all the leds and stuff.
To update the status of certain values, these should be handled by encoders rather than potentiometers. But again, it escapes me now;)
If you want, I can send to those who want the schemes that I have made so far. I clarify that I am only a fan of electronics, can and must be many mistakes. Feel free to fix them, jejejej
Well, thank you very much for the ideas and interest.
Why use arduino?
"For the philosophy of free software and hardware and all that that entails.
"Because it's fun.
I would be curious to see how efficiently arduino uses the hardware compared to writing everything from the ground up in C or ASM. In college I programmed the motorola HC12 processor in assembly, then spent some time on the Microchip PIC microcontrollers. When you take a look at the vast quantity of free ASM and C for these, you will see that Arduino is not particularly unique by being "open source" or "free". Much of the code I have seen for these uC's is more free than GPL because it has no licensing restriction on it whatsoever…. it's like what Stephen M. Bernsee used to "license" his pitch shifter code : Wide Open License… where basically it's keep the authorship on it so I, the author, doesn't get sued for distributing my own code freely.
Anyway, what Arduino brings to the open source world is a quick development platform that is free & open source… sort of like the open source equivalent of parallax's "Spin" language for the propeller chip, including all kinds of useful libraries.
The thing I don't like about encoders is they are not position dependent (if you use the continuous +1/-1 type). Pots with servos bring a fluid analog feel back through the hardware interface. At the same time, given cost constraints, the cheap digital encoders certainly are attractive.
For LCD's : If you could get something that was able to share the same line as the next (like an RS-422 type network), and each could have it's own address, then you could drive them from one pin, single-ended serial communications. I haven't done my research to see who does this, but I agree the cost will add up rapidly.
As for the VU meter, you probably don't even need diodes because the LED's serve that function. Make several resistor dividers - one for each LED - and set the voltage on the far end to ~1.5V less than the voltage you want to have turn it on. It's even better if you put the VU meter network on a 12V supply voltage, then drive a transistor with the digital output pin using PWM to amplify the nominal 5V to 12V range. That allows you to put more separation between each voltage level so you have a better defined on or off state on each LED. Of course, put a capacitor on the collector of the transistor to average out the PWM signal. There's a 1-pin-per channel solution.
Hi everyone!
I'm finishing the first prototype of Rakaduino.
At this point I just need the system exclusive messages (midi) from rakarrack in order to continue programming the micro controller … :)
Thank you very much to all who work to make rakarrack how good it is.
Greetings and Happy New Year!
Josep Andreu
Really good … can you please send us a complete list of the data that you need? … I need almost a guide of what you need .. then I will send the MIDI expected data you will need to receive in each case … when we have this list ready I will code the necesary functions to send.
Hello Josep!
Rakarrack must report the name or ID and status (on / off) of each of the 10 FX as well as its parameters. Also the various modules (tuner, MIDI, tap tempo, etc.).
I think the best way to rackarrack know when and how to send information is through a SysEx sent from the controller. Perhaps the "SysEx" can tell you that information needed by the controller, so there is no need to send all the information each time. For example, a requesting state sysex of the parameters of an FX or asking the status of certain parameters of certain FX, etc. Or one to send partial information of all FX and modules, for example if they are on or off (very common when you need to update the status of the LEDs representing each of the FX in the controller). Surely you have better idea of how to implement this.
I hope not to be too unspecific and that these paragraphs help.
did this go anywhere? Would it be possible to parse the preset name vis SysEx. I have a python script to drive a usb led matrix display...

Some of this was being posted as the Photo Engineering threads in Emulsion Making and Coating. Every time I start it kind of falters due to lack of interest. This is such specialized work that few are interested. So, someday the details will be gone, and just the basic formulas will be around such as I have posted or intend to include in the book. The actual details of the stuff you ask are so "way out there" that only a couple of people are interested.
When I started at EK, they gave us course after course in photochemistry, emulsion chemistry, system engineering and etc. to get to be good design engineers, and to give us a history of all of this stuff. The parts on B&W films were given in discussions with Dick Henn (Inventor of many of the developers and designer of some of the films) and Grant Haist who wrote his great 2 volume book. I've talked to and known Dick, Bill Lee (now both deceaased), Grant and many others who would be far better qualitifed to discuss things here but those still living chose to ignore APUG or merely lurk.
Thanks though.

Excelent Purchase!
I needed a new watch, but didn't need to spend a fortune. This was absolutely the best deal I could've hoped for. Have seen the same watch in stores for well over $$$, so first of all, the price paid was fantastic. The quality is what I'd expect from Wenger, as I've had one of their knives for maybe 30 years! Solid stainless steel case and back, very readable dial (even in the darkroom) and very comfortable REAL leather band. One curious thing I noticed was that the same watch w/ a Black band was priced somewhat higher. Go figure.Read More
Wengers Wear Well
As someone (I'm 60) who never had much luck with watches, I have to say the Wenger watch I've owned for the past fourteen years stood up admirably to my carelessness and the unintentional abuse it got! I only replaced my old Wenger recently (last month) to have larger numerals on the face. The crystal face never scratched or broke and other than replacing the battery and band occassionally, it ran perfectly all those years. I'm expecting the same good service from my new Wenger watch that happily looks nearly the same. I didn't want all the "extra" features that can be had so I chose a plain face with just the date feature. Also, I was pleased there were several models with leather straps from which to choose.Read More

So evidently the Miami Heat cried yesterday. It made big news. We're all talking about it today.
This morning, Erik Spoelstra met with the media following the Heat's practice and did what any damage control expert would tell him to do: Blame it on the media.
"I think you guys (the media) can probably take anything I say and turn it into a story," Spoelstra said. "I was shocked when [PR man Tim Donovan] told me about it this morning that it's actually making the news. I think you guys can be a little more creative than that. I will say one thing, the guys care. Nobody was whimpering in the locker room."
"It's a classic case of sensationalism [by the media]," Spoelstra continued. He then said he didn't regret it and even tried to joke it away by dubbing it "crygate." (I must admit, that's pretty clever.)
While saying it, Spoelstra had the look of a man that knew he has royally screwed the pooch but was trying to just laugh it off as no big deal. Couldn't believe it was actually making the news? And you didn't know until this morning? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah right.
Spoelstra kind of backtracked when asked if players were actually crying. He kind of said no, just saying heads were down and there was lots of noise.
It was an obvious plan of attack from the Heat as Spoelstra waited until he was asked about it and then played dumb, pulling the blame the media routine. It's one of the easiest ways to deflect criticism. It's not my fault. You guys are the ones making a big deal of it. I prefer people to stand up and tell it how it is. I think the general public (and media) respect that more than pointing fingers. It wouldn't have been hard for Spoelstra to say, "Yeah, a couple guys were upset. They cared about the game. We're not going to apologize for caring."
LeBron had his coach's back on the matter. "Spo is the captain... we stand behind anything he says."
I do think this is an example of us -- fans, media, general onlookers -- of kind of getting excited about a simple statement. So the Heat may or may not have cried a bit in the locker room. Just like most anything Heat related, it's turned into big news. We'll all move on here soon enough when they choke a crunch time play this week.

Erik Spoelstra, LeBron react to 'crygate'
My god, is Erik Spoelstra is a smacked ass or what? The most important attribute needed to be an effective head coach in the modern NBA is CREDIBILITY, and Spoelstra has NONE. He's never played in the NBA, so why should future HOFers like Wade and Lebron respect him? I'm not saying the Heat stars are blameless for the team's struggles, but I guarantee you that if this team had a stronger head coach, the Heat would have at least five more wins right now. Imagine if the Heat had Doug Collins as their head coach instead of Spoelstra. I know the Sixers signed him before last season was over, but just imagine. Just look at the 76ers, with essentially the same roster as last year, Collins has proven he can coach circles around the hapless Eddie Jordan. Why? He brought instant credibility as a former #1 pick and a top-notch TV analyst.
And now, on top of not knowing his ass from the hole in the rim, Spoelstra blames his careless comments on media portrayal. The guy is just all-around clueless. If the Heat don't win the NBA title this year, he should be fired during the press conference while addressing their final playoff loss. That is, if the Heat know whats good for them.

Erik Spoelstra, LeBron react to 'crygate'
I am confused. Was there crying? Whimpering? Heads hanging? Is the clearest thing that Spoelstra is near the end of his Heat coaching career? Look, USA Today includes a note each day about the Heat stats for that day or season. So whatever these clowns do is news. I'd prefer USA Today drop the stat box but they don't listen to me. James and Wade believe it is 'Heat against the world.' What they don't get is that much of our dislike for them is due to their cockiness, making a show of themselves to the exclusion of the rest of the team, James shoving the Cavaliers nose in it by his ESPN announcement, and an egotistical self-aggrandizing display that is not good for sports or the NBA. We don't hate them as individuals or as a team. We enjoy seeing the proud humbled, the financially wealthy look poor in spirit, and yes, we love to know the giggling, high-fiving, 'we have more money the god' jerks cry like girls in their locker room. Thanks to coach Spoelstra for giving us this victory and adding a little humiliation to the Heat "stars."

Oct 7 (Reuters) - Moody's Investors Service said on Mondaythe credit outlook forlocal governments in Maryland and Virginia close to Washington,D.C., is negative due to the federal furlough of some employeesduring the current budget shutdown.
Moody's said a prolonged shutdown will have a negativeimpact on income tax revenues of counties in Maryland, whilelocal governments in Virginia will feel the pinch of decliningsales taxes.
In addition, local governments in both states face the riskof reduced aid from their respective states and the possibilityof the region's economy slowing, the rating agency said in astatement.
The U.S. Congress has been deadlocked over passing a budgetfor the country, as Republicans balk at spending on thenational healthcare law commonly known as Obamacare. The federalgovernment shut down operations last week and sent 800,000workers home without pay.
No one knows how long the shutdown will last, but recentlythe House of Representatives approved a measure to pay allfurloughed employees retroactively once the government reopensand the Defense Department is recalling hundreds of thousands ofits employees.
In general, rating agencies have said that a short-termshutdown does not pose great risks to states and cities.
Last week, another credit agency, Fitch Ratings, said thesuspension of federal operations had no negative creditimplications for the District of Columbia.
Maryland and Virginia are home to many civilian, defense andcontract workers, who help bolster the states' income and salestax revenues.
According to Moody's, federal workers make up 12.6 percentof the Washington, D.C., area's total employment, versus 2.1percent nationally.
Maryland might lower state aid to counties and cities, butlocal governments have little dependence on direct federaltransfers, Moody's said.
Counties in the state, though, rely heavily on income taxrevenue, which could dip as workers go unpaid. The countiesclose to the nation's capitol - Montgomery, Frederick, Charles,Prince George's, and Calvert - derive more than a quarter oftheir general fund revenues from income taxes, according toMoody's.
Local governments in Virginia will probably feel slightlynegative effects from the shutdown, with revenues from salestaxes most affected. Still, sales taxes make up only a smallportion of Virginia local governments' revenues, Moody's said.
Virginia also might reduce state aid to local governments torelieve economic and financial strains caused by the shutdown,but, like Maryland, Virginia's cities also receive only a smallamount of revenues directly from the federal government.
Large tax bases, high wealth levels and solid reservesshould help the DC metro area withstand an extended governmentshutdown, the agency said.
"Despite the risks, most D.C. metro area local governmentshave strong credit fundamentals that will help them withstand aprolonged government shutdown," Moody's said.

Real Arcade Controls for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade
Posted 06 October 2006 - 04:09 AM
Posted 06 October 2006 - 04:07 AM
Why ? So I can actually use my custom arcade cabinet with the 360 without having to re-do the whole soldering/gamepad wires/buttons crap again... and still be able to use it with what it works with now... xbox and ps2
just don't feel like ripping it all apart when a damn adapter would be so much simpler... hell, there has got to be a way to do it.. I been waiting but it looks like it is never gonna happen
If I am wrong and anyone has seen an adapter like that please post so I know where to get em

Anyway, I'm still unsure if we will continue to make these. I might do a run of 5 or 10 and see how well they sell. As I have mentioned to many in emails, the price is probably going to be in the 200 dollar range. I know it's steep, which is why I have be reluctant to offer them at all.
A lot of the cost is labor. As you might have seen, these controllers are not our main business. As the holidays pick up, our labor time gets more valuable as we build our Jamma and Arcade boxes for customers. I hope you don't mind my honesty, but that's just how it is .
I did the prototype to get a feel for the market, and I see that there is room for something like this. I encourage anyone that wants to do it themselves and sell them, to go for it. I think you can do pretty well. I'll mention a few of the short comings if you do attempt to make a business out of this.
1. There is a security chip on 360 controllers. Only Microsoft and select 3rd party manufacturers can make controllers for the 360 because of this. This is why we hack a gamepad. Don't expect anything from Ultimarc or X-Arcade anytime soon.
2. The official live headset that comes with the 360 is a pain in the butt. It will be very difficult to get it working on an arcade stick. The best option I have found is to use a non official headset.
3. Make sure you wire up a guide button so you can connect the controller to the 360. I don't believe the 360 auto detects a controller plugged it, but you need to hold down the guide button to get it connected (I could be wrong on this). But, it also means you can swap games and shutoff the console from the arcade stick, and it's a nice selling feature .
I'd be more than happy to answer any questions in here or via email.

|Using measured photography to obtain optimal results from CCD Color Scanners
|Milburn, David L.
|With the advent of desktop color scanners in the electronic prepress production environment, quality in color separations from transmissive originals has become erratic. The cause of this fluctuation is, in part, due to the transition from PMT to CCD-based scanning technology. Whereas, PMT scanners tend to have a broad dynamic range, that of CCD scanners is more limited. This characteristic adversely affects the quality of color separations by causing additional tone compression. An original transparency typically has a shadow density of 3.00 and a diffused highlight density of 0.30 for an overall density range of 2.70. On a four-color heatset web press with coated stock, the maximum reproducible tonal range corresponds to a density of 1.80. The difference in density of 0.90 between the original and the press sheet is unable to fit through the printing window unless it undergoes considerable tone compression. This project was based on two hypotheses. The first was that the lower the tonal range of a transmissive original the more readily lower-midtone-to-shadow tonality could be retained in the separations produced by a CCD scanner and related equipment. The second was that exposure latitude in the separations would decrease with increasing tonal range. The first stage of production was to produce twelve test transparencies by photograph ing a still life set to four tonal ranges: 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 f/stops. Within each range, three images were selected to represent normal exposure, 1/2 f/stop overexposure, and 1/2 f/stop underexposure. Comparison of halftone proofs, made from separations of the normallyexposed transparencies, were later used for the first hypothesis. Proofs from the 1/2 f/stop over- and 1/2 f/stop underexposures were compared with the normal exposures to test the second hypothesis. vm The twelve test transparencies were first scanned on the Dainippon Screen SG-608 to produce a set of best-of-kind reference separations and halftone proofs. Next, the trans parencies were scanned on two midrange 12-bit CCD scanners, one a Pixelcraft CIS 4520RS, the other an Agfa Horizon. Separations for both were produced with Color Access 1.3.3 software on a Macintosh Quadra 700 computer, linked to an Agfa SelectSet 5000 image-setter via an Agfa 5000PS Star Plus RIP. The image files were placed in an 8 1/2" X 11" QuarkXPress page with a 20% gray surround prior to output. Halftone proofs were produced with the Fuji Color Art proofing system, then viewed under 5000 Kelvin lighting. Three methods were used for comparison: visual evaluation by the author, densitometric measurement, and evaluation by 32 independent judges. Only proofs from the two CCD scanners were shown to the judges. Proofs from the SG-608, of noticeably higher quality, were used for reference. The four proofs from separations produced by normally-exposed originals were used to examine the first hypothesis. Two groups of proofs, one for each scanner, were ranked by the judges according to best-to-worst rendition of lower-midtone-to-shadow detail. The rank ings for both groups placed the 3.5 f/stop tonal ranges first, 4.5 f/stop second, 5.5 f/stop third, and 6.5 f/stop fourth. Visual evaluation by the author ranked the proofs in the same order, establishing a 100% correlation. Increases in density range were also expected to follow the 3.5 to 6.5 f/stop ranking. But actual measurements showed increases in density to 4.5 f/stops, then a pronounced drop of 0.25 or greater for the 5.5 and 6.5 f/stop ranges. This demonstated that the higher tonal ranges exceeded the capacity of the CCDs to make a full response, indicating that limited dynamic range was causing abrupt increases in tone compression. To determine the validity of the second hypothesis, the judges examined two groups of twelve proofs each, corresponding to the separations for normal, 1/2 f/stop over- and 1/2 f/stop underexposed originals within each of the four tonal ranges. For the Agfa Horizon, the rankings were 3.5 f/stop tonal range first, 4.5 f/stop second, 5.5 f/stop third, and 6.5 f/stop fourth. With the Pixelcraft CIS 4520RS, the rankings were 3.5 f/stop first, 6.5 f/stop second, 5.5 f/stop third, and 6.5 f/stop fourth. The misranking of the 6.5 f/stop range in second place indicated the difficulty the judges experienced in distinguishing between higher tonal ranges due to the increasing effects of tone compression. Again, densitometric measurements did not support the rank ings of the judges or the author because the densitometer could not distinguish between small tonal range differences due to good exposure latitude and those differences due to blocked shadow tonality resulting from tone compression. A procedure was devised for mathematical assessment of tonal range differences. Using the change in density between adjacent tonal ranges, a value was derived which could be expressed as a fraction of the inital 1 f/stop difference between ranges ( 1 f/stop = 0.30 den sity units). For example, the 3.5 f/stop normal exposure for the Agfa Horizon had a tonal range of 1.73 and the 4.5 f/stop normal exposure had a tonal range of 2.02. The change from 3.5 to 4.5 f/stops is +0.29. Expressed as a percentage, 0.29 -0.30 = 97%. This value showed that the scanner made a nearly complete response in translating tonal range differences in the original transparency to tonal range differences in the separations. Further refinement of these calculations is needed to reflect differences in gamma and tone compression between the original transparencies and the halftone proofs. The findings of this study demonstrate that optimal results from a CCD or PMT scan ner can only be obtained if the tonal range of the original scene is less than 4.5 f/stops. When the 4.5 f/stop range was exceeded, the CCD scanners responded with an immediate deterioration of lower-midtone-to-shadow tonality. In comparison, PMT scanner displayed a more gradual degradation of lower-midtone-to-shadow tonality, in keeping with its greater dynamic range.

TEDxEPS 2015: Year 5 Videos Are Posted!
TEDxEastsidePrep 2015 was held on Friday, March 20th. Thank you to all who attended and helped make our 5th TEDx the best yet.
Our Theme: Emergent Properties
Emergent Properties is a term that comes primarily from Biology to describe the sum being greater than its parts. For example, a collection of just the right chemicals can lead to self-replicating cells which have properties that are not obvious based on the component parts. Ecosystems similarly have properties that are not defined by the organisms living in them.
For us, the idea extends well into all disciplines. Culture emerges out of any group of people that gets together regularly. Emotions emerge out of words on a page or paint on a canvas. Collections of mathematical equations can fit together beautifully even if none of the equations themselves has any inherent beauty. And so on.

With every new year comes a new trend in the world of fashion. And if you want to look chic and stylish, you can't do without keeping up with these changes. The most noticeable change you can see in the fashion market for this year is the shift from bright colors to much softer hues. While bright colors were extremely popular in the last fashion season, now is the time to revamp your wardrobe by adding some soft colors to it.
If this grabbed your attention, here are the three colors you need to stock up on this season.
Pastel colors are big this season, regardless of whether you are talking about dresses, accessories, shoes or makeup. Among the many pastel shades making the fashion rounds in this season, the exquisite warm peachy nude is the most favorite. Moving forward from the previous year, the peachy nude shade has become a soft neutral that is easy to wear in different settings. From flowing silk to warm wool, everything looks elegant and smart in the warm casts of this color. If you want a different pastel though, go for the dusty rose shade, which is another popular color in this season.
Right between soft and bright are the many hues of toffee. Whether it's a silk dress in the softest tones of camel or a knitted jumper with golden-brown undertones, everything that lies within the scale of toffee is cool this year. In fact, starting from Jason Wu to Victoria Beckham, every designer has displayed this versatile and solid color as a base this season since it looks unusual but in a wonderfully good way.
The popularity of orange isn't new to fashion circles, which is why this unique color and its hues have been featured on fashion ramps for quite some years. However, this year the preference has changed from the soft, mellow orange shades to much bolder, bright ones. The most popular orange creations for this year are in blood orange shade and have red undertones. The color is used for a complete head-to-toe look or in contrast with pure black accessories. Whichever you choose, rest assured that you'll be looking wonderfully delicious.
So, if you want to be up to date with current fashion trends, pick up a dress in these trending hues for your next big event and be the cool chic!

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- State Farm is pulling its ads from Penn State football telecasts, General Motors is reconsidering its sponsorship deal, and Wall Street is threatening to downgrade the school's credit rating, suggesting the price of the sexual abuse scandal could go well beyond the $60-million fine and other penalties imposed by the NCAA.
Bloomington, Ill.-based State Farm said it had been reviewing its connection to Penn State since the arrest of retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky last November. The insurance company said it will pull ads from broadcasts of the Nittany Lions' home games but continue to advertise during Penn State's away contests. "We will not directly support Penn State football this year," State Farm spokesman Dave Phillips said Tuesday. "We just feel it was the best decision."
The NCAA imposed unprecedented sanctions against Penn State on Monday, including the fine, a four-year bowl ban and a sharp reduction in the number of football scholarships it may offer.
The governing body also erased 14 years of victories, wiping out 111 of the late coach Joe Paterno's wins and stripping him of his standing as the most successful coach in the history of big-time college football.
NCAA president Mark Emmert said he relied on a report by former FBI director Louis Freeh, who found that Paterno and three top officials concealed child sexual abuse allegations against Sandusky more than a decade ago to protect the school and its powerful football program.
With Penn State's once-sterling reputation in tatters, the university could face an exodus of sponsors unwilling to have their brands linked to scandal.
GM spokesman Pat Morrissey said the automaker is reviewing its sponsorship but has not made a decision.
Other sponsors said they plan to stick with Penn State, including Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo Inc., Pittsburgh-based PNC bank and Pennsylvania's largest health insurer, Highmark Inc.
Moody's Investors Service said it might cut the school's Aa1 rating. The scandal and the NCAA sanctions could hurt enrollment and fund-raising, and the school is still under state and federal investigation, the rating agency said. A downgrade could make it more expensive for Penn State to borrow money for expansion or other projects.
Coach speaks: First-year coach Bill O'Brien said no current members of the Penn State team have indicated they will transfer following the NCAA sanctions. The penalties allow current players to transfer immediately without restrictions.
Penn State also has a four-year postseason ban, but O'Brien equated home contests at 106,500-seat Beaver Stadium to playing in bowl games six or seven times a year. O'Brien said it helps that Penn State will remain on TV. He said he felt good about his team and called his players "a bunch of standup, tough and smart Penn State kids."
"Life is full of adversity. The way you travel through life is how you handle adversity," O'Brien said in relaying what he told players during team meetings the last two days. "I told the guys to think about the guys they're sitting next to in that room."

"An unforgettable trip..." Lisbon by NatassaPL
Lisbon Travel Guide: 5,256 reviews and 13,125 photos
July - 1- 2004... i was in Athens for one day business trip and that day was the semi final between Greece - Czech Rep., we won, and i got the decission not to go back in Crete but to go to Portugal. I can t describe the feelings, the joy.... anyway it was Thursday, i didnt have enough clothes, i didnt have my passport , but fortunately my husband said Yes! and he came in athens (with all staff..) and we left for Lisboa on Sunday the 4th July 2004. My sister and brother in law was already there with the tickets of the final game in their hands!
We forgot our camera but we took the pictures from my sisters camera and here we are!
Nice place.... i forgot to tell you, that it was the second time in Portugal.
First time was many years ago, but always portugal and portugese give the best impressions. So warm people you cant find anywhere in Europe, they are very kind and nice people.
- Pros:A very nice country with very warm people
- Cons:Slow - slow - slow......
- In a nutshell:Hellas ole-ole den stamato na tragoudo pote oee...Hellas ole-ole....

I have been to Portugal a few times but never to Lisbon.Looks like you really enjoyed your trip, I was In Greece for the Final and it was great
We loved Lisbon as well - truly a great city to visit!!
I remember that game! Must have been fantastic for you when Greece won.
Seems you really enjoyed flying in for the game! My wife and I were in Portugal for 2 weeks just before Euro2004 started and I watched the Greece-Portugal game when I got home. Nice aerial view of the Belem waterfront!!
Buffalo and pork sounds interesting
Why has that Greek guy at the football match (Intro page) got a Finland flag painted on his face ;-))))

I just wrapped up my developing bonanza. It seems that 64asa in 1:1:100 @20c for around 10 mins seems like the best approach. However, I honestly do not think Im getting the same shadow detail as I have before with rodinal and ID-11. Granted, I am no professor in the field, but I do know how to use the zone system, and how to meter. I can honestly say that I know that I should have gotten SOMETHING where I have NOTHING. In one two instances, I metered a shadow - not a deep shadow by any means - and placed it in zone III. Therefore, I should have texture. However, in three different photos, I have almost absolutely clear negative. This is @ 64asa mind you. In one shot, I gave it an extra stop of exposure, and I just *started* to get detail in the same spot.
Hopefully someone who really knows what they are doing will test this combo out properly and report back to correct my findings. Perhaps these two were just never meant to live together ?

Each year, students express appreciation for the way Orientation helps them settle into life and studies at Regent.
Attendance at Orientation is expected of all new students—it plays an important role in creating common ground for students converging from around the world. We will introduce you to the history, mission, and values of the College. You will receive information on academic policies and procedures, and tips on how best to navigate your program. You will also meet faculty and staff, and get to know the other students who will share this part of your journey. For those from outside Canada, we'll discuss culture and life in this foreign country. And for Canadians, hearing what really makes them different can be a useful revelation!
If you're married, please bring your spouse, as he/she is in transition too! We also provide childcare.

This includes our first Chapel, student-panel forums, the Regent Fall Retreat (Fall term only), new student lunches, and social events. Find more information on our Worship and Community page in the Current Students section.
