On June 30 at the Cattaraugus County Campus in Olean, JCC broke ground on a new Manufacturing Technology Institute. The 20,000 square foot facility will cost around $6 million to construct. The building is expected to be complete in March 2016 and will be able to house classes starting with the summer 2016 semester. It will offer both credit and non-credit programs, as well as maker space. The Alumni Relations Office is thrilled to see this new development at our Cattaraugus County Campus. JCC, like the region's other academic institutions, is an economic powerhouse and we're at the forefront of making sure our region's employers have a qualified workforce pool. We can't wait to welcome alumni of this new facility to the JCC alumni network!

Community colleges meet their students where they are and provide them with a wide array of resources they need to succeed -- something alumna Jennifer Morgan-Burt, Class of 2011, knows first-hand.
Jennifer overcame long odds to progress to her career in social work. She dropped out of high school at the age of 17 and earned her GED when she was 20 and pregnant. Twelve years later, at 32, Jennifer came to JCC and excelled in our developmental studies program. She graduated with high honors and distinguished herself by earning induction to Phi Theta Kappa. She then went on to earn a degree from Empire State College with high honors. In the workforce, Jennifer found her calling as a homeless intervention specialist at Cattaraugus Community Action and then became a program manager for a single room occupancy facility. She went on to pursue a Master's in Social Work at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
Jennifer was featured in a report by the New York Community College Association of Presidents, the City University of New York, and the State University of New York, entitled "New York's Community Colleges: Springboard to Success."
The report says community colleges like JCC are the driving force behind strengthening the economic power & educational readiness of New York State. This provides a significant return on investment, not only to students, but also to taxpayers, employers & local communities. The report details how community colleges collectively added $809 billion in income to the US economy. In New York, SUNY and CUNY community colleges serve among the largest populations of public higher education, with nearly 240,000 students enrolled at the 30 SUNY community colleges, in addition to more than 98,000 students at seven CUNY institutions.

Troy Bouckhuyt, Class of 2004
Troy Bouckhuyt, Class of 2004, was recently featured in a series on local students who have received support from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.
Troy, who graduated from Southwestern Central High School and earned a degree in criminal justice from JCC, graduated from the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Academy and is now a deputy sheriff with the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office. In 2008, he attended the FBI's Hazardous Devices School in Alabama and received his bomb technician certification, becoming one of approximately 2,900 bomb technicians in America. As a member of the Chautauqua County Bomb Squad and SWAT Team, Troy and his unit are responsible for responding to calls involving IEDs, suspicious materials, and explosive substances in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties. This is in addition to their primary roles as patrolmen and investigators.
In addition to relevant coursework, students at the Sheriff's Academy also participate in hands-on field training in which they have the opportunity to ride along with current members of the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office. Here, Troy is shown working with a bomb-diffusing robot during a robotics training event with the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office.

As we blogged earlier this week, Rick Santorum was a bit spooked by the stormy reception he received during his Monday visit to Washington. At events in Olympia and Tacoma, the social conservative encountered chanting gay activists and Occupy Wall Street protesters -- which prompted Santorum to ponder asking for Secret Service protection. This brings us to the Comment of the Day:
Hopefully, the Secret Service can protect poor Rick from all of that freedom of speech out there. Words make him scared!

Wolves to WWE
When Davey Richards took to social media to let promoters know that he and Eddie Edwards were not available to accept bookings after May 1, it sparked a ton of rumors about what the Wolves were going to be doing. While some believe that they might have restructured their contract with TNA, others believe that they have finally made up with WWE and will be joining the NXT brand in the very near future.

Eddie Edwards gets married
When Angelina Love showed a photo on social media of herself and her boyfriend Davey Richards at a wedding last weekend in Austin, the assumption was that Eddie Edwards was the groom. Angelina only provided the first name of the guy that invited them. It has now been confirmed that the TNA star is indeed the one that got married to his longtime girlfriend. A handful of wrestlers from ROH were in attendance at the event.

this here Mongul was done for the "Green Lanterns: Rise of the Manhunters" game... I don't know if he came out in it (anyone out there know? but he was pretty damn fun to design... most of these 'brutes' usually are... as a designer, you don't have to worry about 'pretty', just make the bastard look menacing and cool.
It's a little much.
Niiiiiiice i love the design on this!
Dude!! Your drawings are AWESOME!!! Added to my favourites.
Awesome take on Mongul here
your imagination is so freaking vivid!
That's pretty goddamn amazing.
As always Chuckdee, You are a God!
I could totally see a Supes game similar to God Of War 3 (like how kratos took on those HUGE titans) and especially with such a massive scale of such powerful enemies like Mongul,LOBO!,brainiac,Darksied,and so many more iconic and awesome baddies...i think paul dini should totally give this project the green light!!!! (we need an EPIC SUPERMAN GAME!!!!) btw LOOOOOOOVEE your concept art! SUPERMAN FTW!!
I like this version of the character . It reminds me of your work for arkham asylum and arkham city your art always looked so menacing and tough . I hope the hire you again if they ever do a superman game .
Dude this is awesome. Just beautiful work. I love seeing the simple flats but love seeing the rendered front view! WOW!
man, you made a pretty bland Big guy GL villain and made him pretty boss! I think the scars on his face really adds to his character
I just want to know where you get your ideas for their attire. lol thrift store?
hahaha... nice mix of too much sugar and alien movies as a kid, a ton of reference books, monster and mechanical fetishism, and believe it or not, a newly found respect for fashion designers!
Fashion designers are weird...they can take a simple sketch and make this notoriously designed item out of thin air and in the real world too.
they more like sculptors... they deal with materials and what those material do with gravity, but the principles of 'clear and interesting silhouettes', color scheme, positive/negative space, where to put the detail for the sake of focus etc etc... all those things apply across the board in most arts.
great work really
As much as I don't want to recollect that game (no offense), I'm positive Mongul was not in Rise of the Manhunters.
I take that back. I didn't find the game all that bad, all things considered. I'd even call it God of War for kids.
Where did he get those scars?
this Dude's a warrior, so I figured it'd be nice to mess him up some and five him something to remember him by!
The more he gets - the harder he falls. It needs more than fancy enhancements to take down superhero.
Astounding (re)design, as always. Nothing left untouched but still very recognizable.
Astounding (re)design, as always. Nothing left untouched but still very recognizable.
great design...pain to draw...lol
He's UGLY....perfect.
I never liked mongul... he always seemed to me like "Darkseid: The less badass and moar purple"
hahahaha, I see what you mean! kinda hard to look tough when your colors are purple pink and yellow... maybe that's why he's so mad???
He's still not as pointy as Doomsday. He'll never beat Superman.
nice man, he looks sweet!

"When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse."
- Osama bin Laden in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
Justice has been served. On Sunday, May 1, news broke and President Obama confirmed that the United States killed Osama bin Laden in a mansion in Pakistan. The death of the al-Qaeda leader and world's most wanted terrorist is a great victory for the United States and a terrific accomplishment by the U.S. intelligence community and American military forces.
Unbeknown to Americans and the international community, the operation to kill Osama bin Laden under President Obama commenced nearly two years ago. On June 2, 2009, the president signed a memo to CIA Director Leon Panetta ordering "a detailed operation plan for locating and bringing to justice Osama bin Laden." It took over one year for any significant lead to come in, but in August 2010, the CIA located the residence of one of bin Laden's trusted couriers. With a compound so large and guarded, intelligence officials believed that a top al-Qaeda member, if not bin Laden himself, was living in the house. After analyzing the area, by September 2010, the CIA had decided that there was a "strong possibility" that bin Laden was hiding there.
By February 2011, after months of intelligence gathering, officials on the case decided to pursue their target. President Obama convened a series of high-level meetings over the next two months with top national security leaders to develop a course of action. Events began to unfold, and quickly, as soon as Obama authorized the operation at 8:20 a.m. on Friday, April 29. By Sunday, a "small team" of special forces was in Pakistan and ready for the raid. At 2 p.m., Obama met with his national security team to review final preparations and at at 7:01, the president was told there was a "high probability" that bin Laden was killed.
The actual operation took place at 3:30 p.m. ET, carried out by U.S. Navy Seal commandos. After raiding the compound, there was 40 minutes of fighting, within which bin Laden, two couriers, and one of bin Laden's adult sons were killed. A woman used as a shield by one of the male members of al-Qaeda was also killed. The U.S. used "multiple methods," including DNA testing, to identify bin Laden's remains before burying his body at sea.
The New York Times reported that the information on bin Laden's courier that led to his compound and the al-Qaeda leader's death was derived from interrogating Guantanamo Bay detainees. According to Marc Thiessen of the American Enterprise Institute, those detainees were Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) and his successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi, and the courier's name was disclosed after using enhanced interrogation techniques - techniques the Obama administration banned the CIA from using. If Thiessen's statement proves true, not only would bin Laden's death be a feather in Obama's cap, but former President Bush's as well for instituting those techniques.
At his time of capture yesterday, bin Laden was living in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad, an affluent area approximately 40 miles outside of Pakistan's capital of Islamabad. His compound, worth an estimated $1 million and built in 2005, was highly suspicious to U.S. intelligence officials. According to one, the house was "custom built to hide someone of significance." Indeed, it was surrounded by walls as high as 18 feet and topped with barbed wire; a third-floor terrace was shielded by a 7-foot privacy wall. The only entrance into the grounds was guarded by two security gates, and the property was not connected to phone lines or the Internet. Furthermore, the residents burned their garbage rather than put it out for collection.
With a population of 120,000, the town is home to the prestigious Kakul military academy, largely considered the West Point of Pakistan. Kakul produces the country's top military commanders, and is a popular retirement place for officers in the Pakistani army. Literally, Osama bin Laden was hiding in plain sight and under the Pakistani military's nose.
Bin Laden's location in this town, however, raises the question of whether the Pakistani military or intelligence service was aware of, if not aiding, the terrorist mastermind. It has long been the suspicion that Pakistan's intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), aids the Taliban and other insurgents in Afghanistan fighting the United States and the Coalition, perhaps even al-Qaeda itself. In addition, while Islamabad has been generally cooperative in assisting the U.S. in combating terrorists, the Pakistani army has also been accused of sympathizing with the Taliban.
Tellingly, countless al-Qaeda operatives have been arrested or killed while hiding in Pakistan: 9/11 co-conspirator Ramzi Bin al Shibh in 2002; 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in 2003; key al-Qaeda operative Majid Khan in 2003; KSM's nephew and top aid, Abd al Aziz Ali, in 2003; Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, connected to the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa, in 2004; KSM's successor, Abu Faraj al Libbi, in 2005; jihadist lecturer and ideological mentor Abu Musab al-Suri in 2005; and Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, al-Qaeda's number 3 leader, killed in 2010, among many others. Washington did not notify Pakistan prior to conducting Sunday's operation against bin Laden.
The problem with Pakistan should come as little surprise. Pakistan has acted as the epicenter of global terrorism since 9/11. According to Paul Cruickshank of the New York University's Center on Law and Security, "In a majority of the serious terrorist plots against the homelands of Western countries since 2004, plotters were either directed or trained by established jihadist groups in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region." Cruickshank estimates that eight major plots have been directed from Pakistan and 11 involved militants who received training there.
What Osama bin Laden's death means to the United States, the families of 9/11 victims, and much of the free world cannot be underestimated. It closes a painful chapter and helps to heal the wounds created by the most vicious terrorist attack against the U.S. in American history. But Islamic terrorism is not just about a person - it is the result of a murderous ideology. Al-Qaeda today is not the al-Qaeda of 2001. Bin Laden went from being the head of one of many terrorist groups to being the ideological leader of a jihadist movement that spawned many new groups that operated without his direction. Al-Qaeda's affiliates include its North African and Persian Gulf franchise, AQIM and AQAP, the Kashmiri separatist groups Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Muhammad, Abu Sayyad in the Philippines, and Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiyah. As American Foreign Policy Council expert, Ilan Berman, points out, the networks inspired by bin Laden will not disappear with his death; they will continue to pose a threat to American interests and those of its allies.
The United States has devoted remarkably few assets to winning the war of ideas against radical Islam and this needs to change because the struggle is about ideas, not personalities. The Global War on Terror must continue - whether or not it is named as such - and the U.S. needs to redouble its efforts and devise new forward-leaning strategies to combat radical Islam.

Is is sad that that was the main thing I got out of this video the first time I saw it?
The Nexus 10 dock looked generic to me? It doesn't look that stable.
Did I see them use the Q there?
You can do this now with the Netgear PTV3000 as long as you get the beta firmware. It also works on the Actiontec Screen....something with the latest firmware. This guy has videos of both working, not entirely lag free but pretty damn close.

|Patent application number
|ADAPTIVE HEAD AND NECK RESTRAINT SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE OCCUPANT - Head and neck restraint apparatus for an occupant of a vehicle comprises a stiff yoke shaped to engage the upper torso and shoulders of the occupant. The yoke is generally U-shaped, with a base and upwardly extending limbs, and has a frontal portion shaped to extend over the chest of the occupant which corresponds to the base of the U. An intermediate portion of the yoke is shaped to fit over the shoulders of the occupant, and an upper portion of the yoke, corresponding to the upper ends of the limbs, extends beyond the intermediate portion to constrain movement of a helmet worn by the occupant. A set of first guides on the yoke are arranged to engage harness members of a safety harness worn by the occupant. Each guide is shaped to engage a respective harness strap or buckle and responds to longitudinal movement of the harness strap or buckle. Tensioning members connected between the respective guides and the helmet apply a tensioning force to the helmet when movement of the occupant causes displacement of the harness relative to the yoke. A set of second guides that respond to lateral movement of the harness is also provided.

This review is for an older version of this product
This is great and worth the money. It does take up quite a bit of room in a small freezer as it has to be stored flat but it is worth juggling the food for. It is really easy to use and freezes the mixture very quickly so great if you need to make a few batches. I had purchased the Zoku model first but this one is far superior. I would definitely recommend this and it's great for a single person who wants a naughty treat without buying a whole tub of ice cream. If I had a bigger freezer, I would be tempted to have another to ensure a constant supply of frozen delights.

Hold heart, don't beat so loud
For me keep your calm, as he walks out on you
No tears, don't you come out
If you blind me now I'm defeated
No lips, don't make a sound
Don't let him hear the break in your voice
Hand, let go of his with ease and grace
Don't let him bleed under your nails
Oh Lord, take off Thy crown
You're my King no more
With that verse in a man's hold
Hold heart, don't beat so loud
For me keep your calm, lest he walks out on you
No tears, don't you come out
If you blind me now I am defeated

On Monday a lawsuit was filed that challenges the ban on same sex marriage set out in the Alaska Constitution.
It's about time.
The tide is turning on same sex marriage. Not only in states that are designated a particular hue, but everywhere.
Laws and constitutional amendments banning same sex marriage are dropping like mosquitoes on a sunny Alaskan afternoon.
Last year the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a federal ban on same sex marriage was unconstitutional.
That decision has been tested in the courts around America and the overwhelming outcome is a change in the atmosphere for same sex marriage -- even in traditional Bible Belt states where you wouldn't expect this type of change to come so easily.
Arkansas Circuit Court Judge Chris Piazza wrote beautifully in the last paragraph of his decision striking down the same sex marriage ban in his state.
Speaking of the plaintiffs in Loving v. Virginia, which invalidated bans on interracial marriage, he said,
"The hatred and fears have long since vanished and she and her husband lived full lives together; so it will be for the same-sex couples. It is time to let that beacon of freedom shine brighter on all our brothers and sisters. We will be stronger for it."
Same sex couples in Arkansas are now rushing to get marriage licenses as the state plans to appeal the ruling.
What about Alaska?
Couldn't happen right? Alaska is a "red state". Public opinion here would never support such a ruling. In fact the ban on same sex marriage in Alaska exists because in 1998 voters overwhelmingly approved a Constitutional Amendment. So, yeah, this could never happen here.
Don't be so sure.
First of all, Alaska isn't a "red state". Alaska may have voted for the Republican in every Presidential election except for one outlier, however, Alaska doesn't act like a state that supports one particular party.
Our junior Senator is a Democrat - whom many refer to as the "deciding vote" on Obamacare. (Or the Affordable Care Act, if you're more into formalities) Polling suggests that Alaskans are in favor of the voter proposition that will legalize marijuana on the November ballot and we are still, by the way, an owner state that writes every resident a check every October. Even the conservatives who decry the socialist aspects of the PFD run out to spend their check before the weekend is over.
We just seem to have the pesky desire to protect individual rights - even when those rights interfere with the Republican Agenda.
You can refer to us as a "purple state" if you will or a conservative state with libertarian leanings - but it has been clear for quite a while that Alaska is certainly not a red state.
Also, things have changed since 1998, around the country, and here at home.
A Public Policy Polling survey conducted from Jan. 30 through Feb. 1st says that a plurality of Alaskans are in favor of same sex marriage 47 percent in favor with 46 percent opposed.
This is certainly a slim margin, however, according to Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling in the press release for the poll, "Public opinion in Alaska has moved 9 points in support of gay marriage over the last year."
Combine that with the overwhelming majority that voted to approve the same sex marriage ban in 1998 and you can clearly see a shift in thinking when it comes to same sex marriage.
Beyond the numbers though, the idea of welcoming our same sex neighbors into marriage just has an Alaskan feel to it. As Alaskans we are in favor of individual rights. We value our privacy and we live by the live and let live philosophy.
Many people came to Alaska in search of a more simple life. They came in search of a society where people aren't judging others by the vehicle they drive, the clothes they wear or the contents of their bank account.
We pride ourselves on living in a society where you can walk into the swankiest restaurant in town in jeans and not stand out at all.
The truth is that allowing same sex couples to marry the person they love will not destroy marriage or end society as we know it and - even more importantly - it will not affect heterosexual couples in any way.
It will simply allow people to marry the person they've chosen to spend their life with.
Alaskans are changing their minds on same sex marriage. We are ready to embrace our same sex partners and pop the cork on the champagne at their wedding and the courts should follow suit.
It's not just the right thing to do - it's the Alaskan thing to do.

Anyway, are siblings a gift? How so? Why not?

Borderlands 2: Headhunter 4 - Wedding Day Massacre (MAC)
Third party DRM: SteamThis game requires a free Steam account to play.
Customer notes
Requires Borderlands 2 (base game) to use this DLC
Love is a battlefield at Mad Moxxi's request in the Wedding Day Massacre. Help bring two star-crossed lovers together in the hopes of unifying the rival Zaford and Hodunk clans, and find yourself running into some luck (not to mention new heads and skins) along the way in this new Headhunter add-on.
Customer reviews
Runs odd on mac fine on pcBrownninja97 | May 6, 2015 | See all Brownninja97's reviews »
Not sure what it was about this dlc but it was running very bad on mac, the rest of the game runs fine maxed out apart from physx. This is sort of an afterstory of the clans wars between Hodunk and Zaford which was hilarious and it still is, they keep going too far, its nice but i cant recommend it on MAC due to the performance issues.
Another short but nice addonmahon | June 11, 2014 | See all mahon's reviews »
The fourth Headhunter pack - Wedding Day Massacre - adds another short story to Borderlands 2. Just like other Headhunter packs, here you can expect a new mission and a new boss to fight. This time the story revolves about assuring that goliaths from two feuding families you should already know get married without any unexpected problems. A love potion can do the job, so the players need to collect ingrediends to make one. And if they do well, there are new heads for the players to customize their characters. Don't expect a big storyline addon, but if you are familiar with other Headhunter packs, you won't be disappointed. After all the price is pretty low, and what you get for it makes it a really good value DLC.

The Veiled Stars is a single player mod for Mount&Blade: Warband. It is set during the War of the Ring.
Nice, although I think the color scheme seems a bit more Arnorian than Gondorian.
Maybe Arnor will be present? It would be nice to play out the Battle of the Last Alliance...
Though, it is Third Age...
maybe it could be in custom battles?
Arnor will not be featured in the mod, though there may be a sub-mod for it. And because of the addition of diplomacy, you can forge your own Arnor ;)
I sure hope Eriador will be added to the map then (after the main mod is finished ofcourse). I would love the idea of being able to rebuild and repopulate Anuminas and Fornost (although that's probably way beyond the scope of this mod :) ).
walks like a boss
Yeah! i always wanted to reforge Arnor, the dunedain are my favorite people in lotr. May the glory of Numenor be carried on with Arnor and Gondor forever!!!
Nice armour GIVE IT TO ME! ITS MINE MY PRECIOUS HEHEHEHEHE well when its released I'm getting this armour as soon as possible

Does SenshiStock expire? I'm not sure! But here are some old poses that don't have any use comments on them yet. Is there anything here that you can use before it goes stale?!
Looking back at all that old stock has made me nostalgic! (Some of these are so grainy, ; A ; I should retake them!)
I hope you find something in here that you can use still!
Part 2 coming soon!
Note: I'm not deleting anything (sorry to scare you xD) but I might pack some of these old images up into ZIP files. By 'go stale' I was just kind of making a joke ^___^;
Unused SenshiStock: PART 1 by SenshiStockWatch
©2012-2016 SenshiStock
Were you just setting up with this batch of photos? I notice that the photos go from that bluish cast to a more natural lighting as time went on. The first photos look like outdoor photos taken with indoor film, but of course these are indoor photos. Never mind how I know what such photos would look like...
Quite a few I coudl use. In fact I'm looking at one right now....
I'm right now trying to prove my anatomy, some of these have good angles that I'd like to work on. So I'll be using some!
Your poses never go stale! Never know when someone will need something. :3
woo! I hope they don't get too crunchy at least ;D
I can combine a few into a fanart right?
=^._.^= Challenge accepted! Working on a pic using Sailor Sitting 16! ^-^
It is funny that some of these haven't been used/commented because so many look like they could be used easily. (I have even thought of using some of them before haha)
I think I have used some of them, but I don't comment on my own stock xD
I used one of the gun ones! Thanks for reminding me to show you
I think all of them are useful
honestly...Your poses are great references for people learning the figure...you should set up like a paypal or something...alot of people can learn different poses by studying your photos...you do some good work
Keep it up!!!
Keep it up!!!
Thanks!! I do take donations for the stock and I sell USB drives with all the stock on them for convenience
I love your stock because if I am ever in need of some help for poses I come to you! I actually use your photos as drawing references for anthro, your high heals are very helpful for that (for the leg).
(sorry random reply comment)
I find her high heels to be very helpful when trying to draw anthro
(sorry random reply comment)
I find her high heels to be very helpful when trying to draw anthro
Ah that's cool!
I could definetly use quite a few of these! Zip files might make sense though... but it's nice to browse!
Nuuh, those are amazing! I had plans for some of them, but then RL took all my time. May still do something with them.
zips would be cool. any plans yet on another thumbdrive run?
*trips into action*
not just yet... me needs your stock desperately! T_T;
not just yet... me needs your stock desperately! T_T;
I've actually used a few of these for sketch practice, just not as anything that ended up as a deviation.
I'm not really a big fan of people packing stuff into zips. A lot of times I'll just use the search in your gallery with some keywords, and look for what I need there. It doesn't matter how old the pictures are, but if they are in zips it always holds me back. Normally I just keep the stock page open on my secondary screen while drawing
I never comment on them unless I actually finish and upload the drawing. Lately all of the drawings I make stop in lineart stage because I get bored of it

puh, I really thought you will put that images from your page. Some of them had been in the choice for a pose very often, although I always chose some other. but they are quite good and I would hate it remembering one of them for an image and then it is away!

Great work on this emulator.. all it needs is filters and it will be complete!
Great work on this emulator.. all it needs is filters and it will be complete!
We will probably not use filters but shaders that will do pretty much the same thing. No ETA on that yet - that's pretty much Halsafar's specialty.
BTW guys - the next release (4.4.0) will have cheats support - I promise. It will use the same onscreen keyboard dialog utility that is now being used for setting the RSound Server IP Address.
pal games support please. (50Hz) issue..
Roms are really small already just download the NTSC version. It's already been stated they are superior and don't give problems. There is also an option to force pal roms to NTSC I believe.
1. Yes... but I come from german, and I play german games if possible.
2. Many pal games have region protection, and don't start with 60Hz.
3. PS3-SNES9X emu is verry good full fps (yoshies island) Super FX chip emulation.
We will have to sort this out eventually.
It's strange though - FCEU doesn't seem to suffer from the same ghosting effect - so I'd say it's SNES9x or perhaps the configuration of PALTimeframe or whatever that is at issue here.
If anyone wanted to try the new networked audio feature in latest SNES9x, Themaister posted a small tutorial video for Windows.
Do note that RSound is fully supported in Linux/BSD as well.
It works great BTW - I'm running RSound through JACK and then RSound goes to JAMIN.
I'm not complaining or anything as I love all the features of snes9x but what exactly is the point of Rsound when you can just play the sound through your TV? is it for recording game audio on PC or something?
Well, for one thing, I don't run my PS3 primarily on an HDTV - I run it on a PC monitor/LCD screen through HDMI, but it doesn't have speakers attached. So previously I had to plug in basic composite cables, connect it to the receiver, and then connect a Line-in cable from my receiver to a laptop.
Then, that laptop would start up JACK, I would set up the routing so that JACK would route everything from line-in to playback, and then PS3 sound would be outputted through my laptop.
Then I would listen to it through headphones.
Now, with RSound, I can reserve my line-in port for other stuff - such as another laptop that I have that runs Foobar2000.
The nice thing about RSound is that it now has JACK support - so I can route RSound to JAMIN (a JACK equalizer) and be able to fiddle around with the audio.
But yeah, another significant feature - this will allow you to record sound - as JACK has a couple of standard recording options.
But perhaps even more significantly is that this validates that we can make use of the PS3's networking facilities just fine - I didn't have any Xruns or sound drops with RSound.
I will eventually want to have Netplay in SNES9x - so that will be one of the next steps.
Are there any plans to integrate the PS's SaveGame feature into SNES9x? A config save file, then on new ROM lauch create savedata with 10 savestates + srm + screencapture? That way it is simple to bring my "Yoshi's Island" success with me to friend's PS3 easily.

Lastly, I wanted to deliver significant value to our investor base. Since going public the company has delivered very strong result and from the guidance we are providing today, you can see that we expect those results to continue. I am very proud of these accomplishments and have enjoyed the past six years tremendously. Since we are about to begin next year's budgeting cycle, I thought that allowing Theresa and Neill to lead that process it was important. I am confident that this leadership transition is another step, another right step in continuing to execute on our well defined strategy of growing our boutique base, driving same store sales, and improving our infrastructure to support that growth.Before I turn to the second quarter, Neill would like to comment on the transition as well.

Who Will Regulate Robots?
By Ryan Calo on January 20, 2012 at 3:51 pm
As robots leave the factory and battlefield and enter our homes, hospitals, and skies, it is not clear who will come to regulate them. But we can begin to spot some interesting patterns. Students of this transformative technology should keep their eye on both the claims and disavowals of authority over robots by state and federal agencies. Each hold potential dangers for our civil liberties and for the future of robotics.
To Catch With A Predator
By Ryan Calo on December 12, 2011 at 1:27 pm
The Los Angeles Times quotes me over the weekend in its front page story about the use of a Predator B drone to catch a civilian suspect in North Dakota. In my comments, I allude to how the domestic use of drones may paradoxically help drag privacy law into the twenty-first century. Stanford Law Review Online just published my short article on this topic. You can find the full text here. Thoughts welcome.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Or: Why Weak AI Is Interesting Enough
By Ryan Calo on August 30, 2011 at 7:29 am
Not many people in the legal academy study artificial intelligence or robotics. One fellow enthusiast, Kenneth Anderson at American University, posed a provocative question over at Volokh Conspiracy yesterday: will the Nobel Prize for literature ever go to a software engineer who writes a program that writes a novel?
What I like about Ken's question is its basic plausibility. Software has already composed original music and helped invent a new type of toothbrush. It does the majority of stock trading. Software could one day write a book. A focus on the achievable is also what I find compelling about Larry Solum's exploration of whether AI might serve as an executor of a trust or Ian Kerr's discussion of the effects of software agents on commerce.
When a Robot Kills, Is It Murder or Product Liability?
I am a law professor who writes about robotics. I'm also a big Paolo Bacigalupi fan, particularly his breakout novel The Windup Girl involving an artificial girl. So for me, "Mika Model" was not entirely new territory. For all my familiarity with its themes, however, Bacigalupi's story revealed an important connection in robotics law that had never before occurred to me.
Robots in American Law
Tech companies may be our best hope for resisting government surveillance
Over the last year, the FBI has had harsh words for Apple, accusing the tech giant of endangering human lives and aiding criminals by turning on encryption by default on the iPhone. When Google announced it would add the feature to Android, meaning that smartphone users would need to unlock their phones for police to be able to go through them, government officials and law enforcement representatives similarly freaked out.
Privacy and Markets: A Love Story
Privacy law scholars tend to be skeptical of markets. Markets "unravel" privacy by penalizing consumers who prefer it, degrade privacy by treating it as just another commodity to be traded, and otherwise interfere with the values or processes that privacy exists to preserve.
Panelists use cross-disciplinary lens to examine current challenges on privacy and security
"Assistant Professor of law Ryan Calo developed his answer from a law and policy perspective. Currently, law could find inadequacies in security of household robots and cars, which enables federal agencies to sue or fine such crimes.
Animals vs. Drones: Should Close Encounters Be Banned?
""Right now they're focusing on how to protect people and airplanes," Ryan Calo, drone expert and law professor at the University of Washington, told NBC News. "They haven't even thought about privacy much, let alone animals."
Why Making People Register Their Drones May Just Create More Problems
"There are two possible lines for making the determination, Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington, suggested to The Huffington Post: weight and use.
"The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) makes a big deal about commercial use or use by law enforcement," he said. "I'm much more comfortable with the requirement that corporations or startups or police or fire fighters have to register them, so there's some accountability for using public airways for commercial or civic use."
Opinion: Why we all have a stake in encryption policy
"Which brings me to University of Washington School of Law assistant professor Ryan Calo's recent article. He argues that tech giants Apple and Google, who have implemented reasonably effortless versions of end-to-end encryption into some of their communication products, may be our best hope of resisting government surveillance.
This Week In Data Collection News, And The Privacy Paradox
""There's a bit of a disconnect between what people say and what they do," says Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington who has studied digital market manipulation. He says the paradox is complex and theories that explain it vary. "Maybe they don't really care? Maybe they just don't know?" Calo adds.

There are a million ways people might use drones in the future, from deliveries and police work to journalism.

Drones fly faster than the law can keep up with
August 13, 2015
""We don't need to get to this crazy world in which robots are trying to take over in order for there to be really difficult, interesting complex legal questions," says Ryan Calo, professor of law at the University of Washington, "That's happening right now."
Here's a sample:
"How do we make sure these drones are not recording things that they shouldn't," Calo says, "and those things aren't winding up .... on Amazon servers,or somehow getting out to the public or to law enforcement?"
Amazon's vision of a drone highway in the sky
July 29, 2015
"What will Amazon's drone highway in the sky look like?
Probably not a drone highway. Amazon unveiled a proposal where low-level air space would be carved out for drones: 200 to 400 feet would be reserved for high-speed transit drones. Below, there would be space for low -speed local drone traffic, and above would be a no-fly buffer zone to keep drones out of manned-vehicle air space, aka flight paths.
Robots run new Chinese factory
July 28, 2015
Robots have been used in factories around the world for decades, often carrying out dangerous or highly repetitive operations. However the city of Dongguan, China, has become home to the first fully automated factory - where the workforce is made of up entirely of robots. Changying Precision Technology will only employ a small number of human staff who will monitor operations of the machinery, but all processes are completed by robotic equipment.
Is this a sign of things to come? Newsday spoke to Ryan Calo, a professor with the University of Washington Tech Policy Lab.

A Vancouver gang member pleaded guilty Monday to gunning down a teenager Aug. 13 in the Hough neighborhood.
Jeremy S. Piña, 21, of the Norteño gang is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 9 for shooting 18-year-old Nicholas Moline at least six times. Moline survived his injuries.
In exchange for Piña's guilty plea, prosecutors reduced his charge from first-degree attempted murder to first-degree assault, substantially reducing his potential sentence. Prosecutors and Piña's court-appointed attorney, Jeff Barrar, plan to jointly recommend a sentence of nine years, Clark County Superior Court Judge Robert Lewis said.
According to court documents, the shooting followed an ongoing dispute between Piña and Moline, which involved Piña making a threat. Court documents don't reveal the nature of the dispute.
The shooting occurred just after midnight in the roadway in the 2200 block of Lincoln Avenue. After paramedics responded, Moline told them that Piña — who had allegedly fled on a bicycle — was the shooter.
A nearby home sustained damage from a gunshot, according to court documents.
Piña was apprehended later that morning at his home at 2008 Markle Ave., just down the street from the shooting scene.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Archived Story
The Rev. Dan Puckett: When will we seek the living God of heaven?Published 11:05pm Wednesday, July 6, 2011
There is an account of a troubled city in the Old Testament book of 2 Kings that draws our thoughts to the United States.
The men of the city of Jericho came to Elisha who was the man of God (2 Kings 2:19). The men said, "This town is well-situated, as you can see, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive." One would have to conclude that since Jericho was established in its location, there was a time when things were going well. Something had happened. The situation had changed to the point that the people might have to abandon the city and move on.
The term "well-situated" leads us to believe that the city was well conceived, strategically located and built well.
The United States of America as a nation was well-conceived, firmly established and built on principles of freedom and personal responsibility. The early years of this nation truly epitomized people who were not asking what their country could do for them, but asking and seeking what they could do for their country. The nation grew and prospered. The roots were deep in godly principles. America became a great country.
Then slowly and almost imperceptibly, things began to change. Human nature and selfish interests were put ahead of the common good, and the great nation that was "well-situated" began to decline and become "unproductive."
Let's look again at Elisha. The man of God did not hesitate, and knew that only the mighty power of God could save the city. He said, in 2 Kings 2:20, "Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it." Those were desperate times; normal means could not save the city. It had to be a new bowl, a new way of thinking, a new course of action. But, in this new bowl, they were to put salt.
Salt has the power to purge and salt has the power to preserve.
This salt that the man of God called for is a symbol of the ways and means of God. God has always called for people to repent of their ways and go God's way, from self-seeking to seeking God, and from committee meetings to prayer meetings.
The "new bowl" may signify the need for a new approach. In the three great spiritual awakenings that occurred in these United States from 1730 to 1858, the spiritual movement and radical changes bypassed the established church. God called and used men who did not fit into the "system." But revival came, the nation changed, and God was glorified.
Maybe today, rather than waiting and hoping that somebody will "get it right," people whose heart God is burdening with the state of our nation need to fall on their knees and ask God to lead them to others who have a similar heart. For then, I believe we would have a grassroots revival and see God pour out His Spirit on this land that once was "well-situated," but now is on the brink of mediocrity and possibly destruction.
It must be the living God of heaven we seek. He is the salt. The new bowl is the willingness for God's people to be radical in their seeking after God, his holiness and his glory.
Elisha took the salt in the new bowl, poured it into the water spring, and healed the land (2 Kings 2:21). The land returned to productivity (2 Kings 2:22).
When will we seek the living God of heaven for the healing of our nation?

AbstractWhen completed, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) will produce the world¿s most concentrated beams of pulsed X-rays, providing materials researchers with a powerful tool that could revolutionize our understanding of the dynamics of matter. However, to effectively probe ultra-fast dynamic phenomena, a method must be developed to temporally shape incoming X-ray pulses into two pulses with arbitrary relative intensity and time delay. This project will develop a novel, energy-tunable X-ray delay device that employs a precisely-aligned train of crystalline beam splitters and reflectors. These splitters and reflectors will divide an incoming beam, direct the two resultant beams through paths of different lengths, and then recombine the beams in such a way that their respective pulse trains are slightly out of phase. The device¿s innovative design will allow it to be automatically reconfigured for compatibility with the LCLS¿s full spectrum of available X-ray energies. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee:A fully realized X-ray beam splitter would provide a key enabling technology to researchers at the LCLS. In addition, the device¿s highly precise, in-vacuum opto-mechanical systems could be applied to the high-resolution, hard X-ray optical devices required on existing and upcoming 3rd generation storage rings. Other applications include very high resolution monochromators, which are required for the study of inelastic scattering, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and nuclear forward scattering

Egypt to tender Eastern Desert goldmine concessions
The Egyptian government will soon issue gold mining tenders for the Eastern Desert region, reported AFP. Several undisclosed international groups had reportedly already expressed interest in bidding for concessions to extract gold in Hurghada and Marsa Alam, on the Red Sea. Large quantities of gold discovered in Egypt's eastern desert in mid-2001 could potentially make Egypt the world's fourth-largest gold producer.
Eight years ago, Australian mining company Centamin along with its local subsidiary Pharaoh Gold Mines (PGM) was given rights to excavate a 5,000-square-kilometer area the Eastern Desert. Centamin is obliged to bear all extraction costs, but must provide the state with three percent of all revenues and—if it strikes commercially viable gold deposits—50 percent of profits. The company is currently focusing on developing the Sukari goldmine—one of 15 mines that PGM secured in its concession.
US-based Cresset Precious Metals Incorporated is also engaged in gold development and production in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. Such endeavors began in 1999, when the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Cresset International entered into an exclusive concession agreement with the government of Egypt and the Egyptian Geological Survey and Mining Authority for the exploration and production of gold and associated minerals in various locations in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. — (menareport.com)
