CSCE Counsel
The United States Helsinki Commission conducted a hearing June 16, 2004 entitled "Government Actions to Combat Anti-Semitism in the OSCE Region." The hearing was held on the heels of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's Berlin Conference on Anti-Semitism and was an opportunity to examine compliance with commitments highlighted in the conference declaration and to gather suggestions on how to further reduce anti-Semitic activity within the participating States that comprise the OSCE.
The Berlin Conference was held in response to what Helsinki Commission Chairman Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ) described in his opening statement as "…a wave of anti-Semitic violence [that] swept through much of the OSCE region [in 2002]…unparalleled since the dark days of the Second World War."
The conference produced the Berlin Declaration, a document signifying the commitment of OSCE participating States to monitor and combat anti-Semitic crimes and hate crimes. Chairman Smith noted, "The historic Berlin meeting was a highlight to our ongoing efforts to fight anti-Semitism, but it must not be our high-water mark. Governmental and elected leaders must continue to speak out publicly when instances of anti-Semitism arise."
Helsinki Commission Ranking Member Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) addressed the current state of compliance with OSCE commitments stating, "We're disappointed that so many of the participating States have yet to make available to ODIHR…the statistical information they agreed to make available." Commissioner Cardin made clear such failure is unacceptable, focusing on the need for action, as governments must understand "it's not just attending a conference, but it is what you do after the conference [by] which you will be judged."
Commissioner Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) spoke of the importance of education in the fight against anti-Semitism. Citing the importance of Holocaust education as a tool that teaches "what happens when hatred and bigotry and violence are allowed any room in our world," Commissioner Clinton added, "The recent conference in Berlin...was a very positive step, but we cannot assume that a conference and a statement and a promise of follow-up is enough."
Commissioner Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-NC) stressed, "Anti-Semitism is a hateful crime – one that knows no boundaries. In order for us to prevent it from spreading to other areas of the world, it is imperative that we address it now. Therefore, I look forward to working with my colleagues on the U.S. Helsinki Commission on these and other issues during the Edinburgh OSCE Parliamentary Assembly."
Testifying before the Commission were: Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA), Ranking Member of the House International Relations Committee; Natan Sharansky, Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs; Betty Ehrenberg, Director of the Institute for Public Affairs at the Orthodox Union of Jewish Congregations; Paul Goldenberg, National Security Consultant to the American Jewish Committee; Jay Lefkowitz, Partner at Kirkland and Ellis, LLP; Fred Zeidman, Chairman of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council; Stacy Burdett, Government and National Affairs Associate Director at the Anti-Defamation League; Shai Franklin, Director of Governmental Relations for the National Conference on Soviet Jewry; Dan Mariaschin, Executive Vice President of B'nai B'rith International; James S. Tisch, Chairman of the Conference of Major American Jewish Organizations; and Mark Weitzman, Director of the Task Force Against Hate at the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
Rep. Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in the United States Congress, praised the achievements of the U.S. delegation to the OSCE conference for raising anti-Semitism and bringing about the Berlin Declaration. "The importance of this achievement cannot be overstated," Lantos said. He then discussed modern anti-Semitism, describing it as a "new strain." It is the "most virulent expression of hatred of Jews [to] emanate from Europe's radicalized Arab and Muslim communities and from the political elites…on the left who accept their characterization of the democratic State of Israel as a monstrous violator of human rights."
Minister Sharansky noted the distinctness of anti-Semitism, as it often takes the form of criticism against Israel. He highlighted the "3D test" to discern the difference between legitimate criticism of Israel and anti-Semitism – demonization, double standards and de-legitimization. "Today, [modern anti-Semites] are trying to deny the legitimacy of the Jewish State. While criticism of an Israeli policy may not be anti-Semitic, the denial of Israel's right to exist is always anti-Semitic." In concluding his testimony, Mr. Sharansky lauded the OSCE for its initiative on this issue but added, "For real progress to be made, the free world must be willing not only publicly and forcefully to condemn this anti-Semitism, but also to pursue a policy of linkage against states that support anti-Semitism." Mr. Sharansky also showed lowlights from a highly anti-Semitic television show produced by Al-Manar in Syria, which has been viewed via satellite around the world.
The testimonies of Rep. Lantos and Minister Sharansky were followed by two panels of witnesses, each highlighting important strategies for fighting anti-Semitism. Betty Ehrenberg called the Berlin Conference a "breakthrough," adding that it "represented a significant diplomatic victory" as "governments expressed a willingness to acknowledge the severity of anti-Semitism in their countries and to take actions to combat it." She also reminded participants that "anti-Semitism, if allowed to continue to spread, will affect the foundations of world democracies."
Paul Goldenberg testified to the importance of education, citing its relevance to law enforcement officials' understanding of anti-Semitic crimes and hate-crimes. Mr. Goldenberg referred to his personal experience in training law enforcement agents to effectively combat hate crimes. "I have personally seen seasoned and jaded law enforcement officers who were disdainful of the impact of hate-crime statutes, once well-trained not only understood the damage of these crimes and what they did to the fabric and social order, but became energized to find effective ways to combat hate crimes." To effectively educate law enforcement officials region-wide, Mr. Goldenberg suggested bringing together law enforcement professionals from around the globe that specialize in hate-crime investigation to train their counterparts in the OSCE region.
Jay Lefkowitz noted, when referring to the Berlin Conference, "The good news is that 55 nations agreed that anti-Semitism is a growing problem that needs to be tackled. The bad news is that the problem is growing more acute and many Jewish leaders from Europe reported to us that for the first time in more than half a century, Jews are afraid to wear symbols of their religion in public: yarmulkes, mezuzahs, the Star of David."
Mr. Lefkowitz pointed out the segment in the Berlin Declaration, which "declared unambiguously" that "international developments or political issues, including those in Israel or elsewhere in the Middle East, never justify anti-Semitism…. In an organization like the OSCE, where many countries have large Muslim populations, and any member country, if it chooses, can block action by the entire body; the reference to Israel in the declaration was a very significant and positive development."
Fred Zeidman underscored, "Educating new generations about the evils of anti-Semitism is essential." Quoting President George W. Bush after his visit to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Zeidman said, "Moral discernment, decency, and tolerance – these can never be assumed in any time or in any place. They must always be taught." To this end, Zeidman stressed the importance of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council's participation in teacher training and curriculum development and urged continued and increased support for such efforts by the OSCE and other organizations.
Monitoring anti-Semitic and hate crimes within the region was also addressed in the hearing. Stacy Burdette, Shai Franklin, Dan Mariaschin, James Tisch, and Mark Weitzman each underscored the vital importance of the collection of data to defeat anti-Semitism and that ODIHR needed adequate resources to do the job. Their full statements and testimony are available on the Helsinki Commission website.
An unofficial transcript of the hearing is available through the Helsinki Commission's website site at http://www.csce.gov.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives, and one official from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.

Pair the engineering of a former F1 aerodynamicist with some of the most advanced power training technology available, and you receive a package that's nearly impossible to beat. Yes, we're talking about CycleOps' new G3 SES 6.7 Clincher/Joule GPS Wheelset that incorporates wind tunnel-developed front/rear specific wheels, accurate power data-collecting rear hub technology, and a GPS computer head unit, all wrapped into one seamless system.
The rims of this wheelset are identical to those found on the Enve Smart System 6.7 carbon clinchers, developed as a collaboration between Simon Smart and Enve Composites. Enve used its most sophisticated technology and engineering techniques to create this fast, stiff, and aerodynamic wheelset. The 6.7's aerodynamic design starts with the size differential of the wheels. Enve accounted for the different behaviors of front and rear wheels and designed the 6.7s with a front wheel that's 60mm deep and 26mm wide, while the rear wheel is 70mm deep and 24mm wide. Accordingly, the front wheel's shallow profile and wide stance decrease drag and improve stability in windy conditions. On the other hand, the rear wheel's depth decreases drag because stability is less affected at the aft position of the bike. But, the SES 6.7 clincher is not only aerodynamic, but it's also lightweight, stiff, and strong. The Enve SES series boasts the highest strength-to-weight ratio on the market, and this is due in part to Enve's patented process of molding in spoke holes, nipple seats, and valve stem holes. This means that when you combine the hand-built Enve carbon clincher hoops with the CycleOps PowerTap G3 Wireless Hub and a sub-100 gram CycleOps Front Hub, it adds up to one of the lightest and stiffest carbon PowerTap clincher wheelsets ever produced.
On CycleOps' end, it completely overhauled the design of previous PowerTap models, while also improving upon multiple aspects ranging from rigidity to functionality. The new PowerTap G3 Rear Hub is a power meter on a diet. An 80-gram weight reduction from the popular SL+ makes the G3 rear hub the lightest power meter in the world. CycleOps improved on the rigidity of previous models for the G3 by shrinking the hub profile and widening the flanges, ending the days of heavy, paint bucket-sized rear hubs. With the distractions of weight and stealth design out of the way, CycleOps improved the functionality and accuracy of data gathering. For one, CycleOps moved the orientation of the electronics that transmit user data to the end cap of the freehub body. With the new positioning, it's now possible to remove the electronics for service without swapping out the entire wheel, equating to more time in the saddle and fewer headaches. The new G3 is also equipped with an ANT+ wireless transmitter that sends power, torque, speed, and virtual cadence data to your CycleOps Joule GPS. The G3 is capable of storing up to 15 hours of data in one-second gathering intervals, and up to 30 hours of data in two-second gathering intervals. The G3 design still has a 'torque tube' with eight strain gauges, yielding measurements accurate within +/- 1.5% between 40 and 130 rpm.
In addition to the PowerTap G3 Hub and Enve's SES 6.7 Clincher hoops, you also receive CycleOps' latest innovation in power training -- the Joule GPS. This new GPS Computer provides a seamless relationship with PowerTap, and it incorporates GPS capabilities for a full route view in order to ensure that you don't get lost ever again.
The Joule GPS Computer displays 18 metrics at a time, like watt/kg, peak power, power zones, heart rate zones, temperature, surge count, altitude gained/lost, grade percentage, and much more. You still have access to Report Mode, which holds your historical averages stored in increments of one week, two weeks, four weeks, eight weeks, six months, and 12 months. This mode is not only useful for post-ride analysis of how your training is progressing, but it also allows reports to be accessed on-the-fly during a ride. The Joule GPS also allows analysis of historical data to be compared with your current ride data, as well. Altogether, there are 58 metrics available for history reports that include power detail, work, peak power, and climbing. The Joule Computer is able to be mounted on the front of the handlebars or on the stem, and comes with the mounts for each of these options. Its battery life is around 20 hours, and uses a rechargeable battery. And when your training is done for the day, you're able to upload your data from the CPU to your home computer.
Each G3 SES 6.7 Clincher Wheelset is hand-built in the USA with DT Swiss Aerolite Spokes, and it features the 99-gram CycleOps front hub. The new front hub design features a beefed up 10mm axle, an aluminum hub shell, and 6901 aluminum sealed bearing cartridges. CycleOps also claims that the complete wheelset only tips the scales at 1660 grams, and given that the Enve SES 6.7 wheelset weighs 1573 grams, we're inclined to believe them.
The CycleOps G3 SES 6.7 Clincher/Joule GPS Wheelset is available with either a Shimano or Campagnolo compatible freehub body. Please note that the Shimano body is compatible with 11-speed Dura-Ace cassettes. Additionally, each wheelset includes brake pads and quick-release skewers.

see, Pac 12 is a new channel and any contract they've signed with whomever, is fresh ink. Its not likely something you'd have to worry a few months down the line on expiring..With the Viacom channels yeah deals were already in place, the channels been around a VERY long time at other providers. So yeah switching isn't any good since a dispute can arise to whomever you're switching to per whatever month they signed their deals..With Pac-12 any providers contract likely began on August 15th the day of their launch..or shortly thereafter.
with Pac 12...There's fresh ink on the contracts they have with whomever. So if you love your college football, choice is yours..
Switching providers wont deja vu you.. shouldn't sting ya..

ROB ZOMBIE/MARILYN MANSON, USANA AMPHITHEATRE, Monday, Oct. 1, $39-$59
The so-called "Twins of Evil" tour is a bit of a quandary for this rock and roll fan. On the one hand you have Rob Zombie, an endlessly entertaining fellow with a deep catalog of tasty tunes ("Dragula," "Living Dead Girl," "More Human Than Human," among others) that pair up perfectly with his over-the-top stage theatrics. You watch a Zombie show, you get impressive pyro, clever film clips and giant robots roaming the stage, as well as ace guitar man John 5 blowing your mind at every turn. On the other hand, you have Marilyn Manson, who I've never paid much mind to, who hasn't produced any memorable music in at least a decade (if ever), and who hardly counts as an equal to Zombie, at least in my mind. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised by Manson's half of the show--at worst, you'll find me in the beer line waiting for the always good, every time Zombie live show. Korn's Jonathan Davis was originally going to open the show, spinning tunes DJ-style, but he's been replaced by a dude from Slipknot spinning tunes. Suffice to say, you'll find me in the parking lot throwing down some beers during that portion of the show. Join me!

The McRib sandwich from McDonald's has a very curious cult following, as you might know. It only shows up every once in a while, but there is a McRib Locater website where you can track sightings. I'm not kidding.
The patty is some sort of meat product formed into a pseuo-rib shape, given beautiful fake grill marks and slathered in sauce. Grab extra napkins because you'll be swimming. Onions and pickles top the whole mess.
I am shamed to admit that I do indulge in a McRib every now and again, when it's available. Hey, I'm not alone. Molly blogged about her initiation into the Club of Rib.
So I hope you could forgive me for being extremely excited about a new incarnation of the sandwich available in Austria that brings it to a whole different level. The deep-fried McRib, or McRibster.
It's breaded, fried and topped with lettuce, pepper Jack cheese, red onion, honey-mustard sauce and a "spicy sweet chili sauce." Oh, and bacon. The company says the patty consists of "juicy pork." Sure.
Unfortunately, though, the McRibster was only available in Austria and until late last week. Dang.
Would you try the McRibster? Are you a fan of the original?

"The most identifying trait of humanity is our ability to be inhumane to one another."
– DEAN KOONTZ, Odd Thomas
Dean Koontz. How I love this teller of tales. He's not the greatest in many ways, but I love his books. I love the words he chooses, his perspectives on life. They resonate with me. There are descriptions from his novels I remember to this day and I read a lot of books. His wordsmithing is unbelievable. I also appreciate his endings. No matter how dark the subject, how intense the tale, the ending is always good. He never leaves you with the eviscerated feeling Steven King does. For some of you, this makes you love King more. I understand. King has a way of ripping you open and leaving you bare to the world. He leaves you feeling sick, dark, and grim, which is all well and good, but easy to overdose on. I can only read so many King books before I have to go find rainbows and silver lining.
With Koontz, I get both my gore, grim evil, and scary villains along with my love story, happy ending, good winning over evil in a way which lets me face my day without wanting to hide under the blankets.
Now, Odd Thomas. Odd Thomas is more about Odd than anything else. I honestly found the main villains a little too contrived and easy. I found them to be a little too predictable. I never once felt my gut clench or shivered over the vile destruction they waged. In fact, the villains felt like cardboard cutouts, while Odd's parents presented a far more frightful visage of the damage one human can bring upon another. They are the true villains in Odd's life.
I did like Odd Thomas. For him, I continued to read the book and enjoy it. Koontz's dialogue is fun, clever and sarcastic. His heroes are weighed down with the difficulties their powers bring in their lives, but not broken. Odd's friends keep him going, his love makes him strong, and his powers are used to help others.
The magic of this story came when Koontz made you forget Odd's unique power just when you needed to remember it the most. Pure magic!
I plan on finding time to read the other Odd Thomas books along with anything else Koontz writes. I would describe him as one of my biggest literary influences in my own writing. (Though my brother tells me he likes my serial killers better. )
Just a few thoughts…how did you like the book?

The Spirit of Revival (Part 4)
from R.C. Sproul May 17, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulThe Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God by Jonathan Edwards is one of the great classics of revival literature. A key figure of the Great Awakening, Edwards wrote this important discourse in 1741 just after the revival had reached its peak. In 2000, R.C. Sproul wrote an Introduction to a version of this classic work that had been edited and modernized by Archie Parrish. This Introduction effectively compares Edwards's nineteenth century to our society and explains the importance of Edwards' treatise. In the fourth part, Dr. Sproul provides an overview of Edwards' negative marks of a work of the Spirit of God (which is to say what are not necessarily evidences of a true work of God). Keep Reading
Probing the Remote Purpose
from R.C. Sproul May 16, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul"Why did God allow it to happen?" This question seeks to probe the remote or ultimate purpose. The question assumes something crucial to our understanding of God. It assumes that God could have prevented the thing that happened. If we deny this verity, we deny the very character of God. If God could not have prevented it, He would no longer be God. By asking why, we also assume something else that is vital. We assume there is an answer to the question. We assume that God had a reason or a purpose for the thing that occurred. Keep Reading

The even more remote goal is to win the game. The ultimate goal is to win a championship. Keep Reading
Why a Reformed Bible College at Ligonier?: To Uphold Our Doctrinal and Spiritual Commitments
from R. Fowler White May 14, 2010 Category: Ligonier AcademyWhen it comes to Christian education, Bible colleges have become fairly commonplace.

Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies is committed to the historic Reformed faith as expressed in the solas of the Reformation and in the consensus of the confessional standards: the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms, the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of the Synod of Dordt and the London Baptist Confession.

REGIONALREPORT CharlotteCharlotte airport wants its place in the sun
Things have been cloudy at Charlotte Douglas International Airport lately, with state and city officials fighting over its control (cover story, September 2013). That's not preventing Charlotte leaders from preparing for sunnier times. In November, the city unveiled plans that could make the airport one of the largest sites of solar-power generation in the state. A private developer would lease parts of the airport from the city and build solar arrays at designated sites, such as between runways and on rooftops and canopies constructed over parking lots. Robert Phocas, the city's Energy and Sustainability Manager, told the Charlotte Observer that the airport might use some of the power, but most of it will be sold to Queen City-based Duke Energy Corp. Charlotte, which would have an option to buy the farm on the sixth, 10th and 15th anniversaries of the lease agreement, has outlined as many as eight sites that could be developed for a maximum output of 53 megawatts — equal to nearly 20% of North Carolina's installed capacity as of 2012, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
KANNAPOLIS — DataChambers broke ground on a 50,000-square-foot data center at North Carolina Research Campus to serve businesses in the region. Construction will be completed by midyear, and the company will hire 20 to 30 workers. The information-technology company also operates data centers in Raleigh at its headquarters in Winston-Salem.
LINCOLNTON — Actavis will close its plant here, idling 310 workers by mid-2015, as a result of its $5 billion acquisition of Dublin-based pharmaceutical company Warner Chilcott in October. Actavis, which moved its headquarters to Dublin from Parsippany, N.J., makes prescription creams and ointments and over-the-counter medications.
CHARLOTTE — Bank of America will pay Freddie Mac $404 million to resolve all outstanding requests to buy back defective mortgages that it sold Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between Jan. 1, 2000, and Dec. 31, 2009. The payments will be covered by existing reserves.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Two NASA spacecraft have wrapped up their mission by intentionally crashing into the moon.
Engineers on Monday commanded the spacecraft to fire their engines and burn their remaining fuel. The first slammed into a mountain near the moon's north pole. Its twin followed seconds later and aimed for the same target.
Since the impact site was in darkness, NASA had said the crash wouldn't be visible from Earth.
The spacecraft named Ebb and Flow circled the moon for nearly a year, mapping the lunar gravity field. To do their job, they had to fly at low altitudes above the surface, which consumes a lot of fuel.
NASA decided to execute a controlled crash and bring the spacecraft down far away from any historical site on the moon.

Hair care is often a matter of daily routine maintenance. Keeping up with shampooing, conditioning and styling can do wonders at providing the basis for healthy, lively hair. There are times, though, when you need Ojon Treatments. When your hair has become damaged beyond what a routine regimen can handle, it is time to bring in the special treatments. If your hair has become dry lifeless, dull, brittle, frizzy, filled with flyaways or otherwise unmanageable, call upon Ojon Treatments to come to the rescue.
There is nothing routine about damaged hair. When you hair becomes so wrecked that you can't even work with it any more, it is an emergency! Don't panic, though; Ojon Treatments are there to help. With special ojon oil, purified from the ripe nuts of the tropical American palm tree (Elaeis oleifera), the Ojon Treatments allow you to apply a concentrated, directed program to address and overcome unmanageable hair. The ojon oil is able to penetrate the hair structure and to moisturize, repair and rejuvenate hair to its proper soft, silky and glowing place. Restore your hair with Ojon Treatments.
Over time, hair can take a beating. Too much sun, chemical treatments, heat styling or even just the day to day stress of exposure to environmental pollution can take a toll on your tresses. After a while, hair just lies down and feels exhausted. When you're faced with tired, lifeless and unruly hair, it's time for some serious treatment: Ojon Treatments. These include the wonderful ingredient ojon oil, extracted from the ripe nuts of the tropical American palm tree by Taiga tribespeople of the Miskito Indians in Central America. The Tawira, whose name can be translated as "People of the Beautiful Hair," have been processing and using ojon oil for hundreds of years in their villages along the Caribbean coast. The oil is so effective at keeping their hair healthy and resplendent that they have a saying: Ojon ba Dawan yamnika kum sa, which means, "Ojon is a blessing from God."
The process of repairing and reviving damaged, dry, lifeless hair requires a concentrated, specially formulated treatment system. The rich, velvety balm in Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Hair Treatment uses the healing properties of ojon oil to carefully return fullness, shine and strength to hair that has been subjected to too much stress and too many challenges for too long a period. Used once a week, this treatment rebuilds and refreshes exhausted hair back to health. Simply warm the balm between your hands and smooth onto your hair and scalp. Let it begin its work and you will soon see a beautiful improvement.

Wiki > Main > SigmaTelSTMP3xxx (compare)
Difference: SigmaTelSTMP3xxx (r51 vs. r50)
SigmaTel STMP3xxx
The SigmaTel STMP3xxx series is a somewhat popular System-on-a-Chip solution for portable audio players. They include CPU, on chip RAM and ROM, I/O to external storage devices, display, and buttons, USB interface, ADC and DAC, headphone amplifier, and a battery management interface.
The major SigmaTel STMP3xxx series can be devided into the STMP34xx, STMP35xx, and STMP36xx series. The STMP35xx series is backward pin and firmware compatible with STMP3410. The STMP36xx series is based on a different CPU.
Data sheet
Motorola DSP56004
The STMP3400/500 specifications state that the embedded DSP chip is "DSP56004-compatible", however, it is unclear whether additional instructions have been introduced. Porting Rockbox to an architecture whose smallest addressable unit is 24 bits with inadequate compilers is going to be painful at best. Luckily, information on the chip series is very easy to come by -- more than enough to write or port a new compiler.
For more information, see MotorolaDSP56k.

Note: Sigmatel has been bought by Freescale in 2008 and SoCs older than STMP3700 are now discontinued.

Product Briefing (PDF)
SigmaTel is offering an SDK for these series of chips for $12,000. The SDK includes full source code to a reference implementation MP3 player. It is unclear how many MP3 player firmwares are directly based on this SDK, but there is evidence of similarity. For example, the SDK includes implementations of MP3 and WMV decoders, which most STMP3-powered players exclusively support. The document "Customizing Flash Players Using SigmaTel SDK 2.4xx" is available here. This document contains a brief outline of the SDK versioning.
STMP3400 - SDK v?
The firmware updater of the Philips Rush SA230 player includes an unencrypted/unsigned binary firmware image; additionally, the updater boots off of USB before writing any flash, making this a safe environment for hacking and testing on real hardware.
STMP3500 - SDK v2.4 - v3.2
Note: Much of the above info was taken from here.
The ROM of the STMP3500 contains code to recover the player if no valid firmware is installed on the device (this is also used to initially flash the products in manufacturing). In order to do this, the player must be restarted in recovery mode while connected through USB to a computer with the recovery driver installed (StMp3Rec.sys). The ROM will then connect to the driver and load the file usbmsc.sb off of the computer and onto the player. From there, the player will restart running only usbmsc.sb. The player will subsequently be recognized as a mass storage device, and all of the remaining firmware files (resource.bin, etc...) can be loaded using stupdaterapp.exe.
To make a long story short, it's impossible to brick your stmp35xx device unless you physically break it.
Note: To start player in recovery mode, press the reset button while holding the play button. Let go of reset, but continue holding play for at least 5 seconds. Your computer will then make that "something's been connected" sound, and if the recovery driver is installed, usbmsc.sb will automatically be loaded onto the player (provided it can be found in its respective directory on the computer).
STMP3600 - SDK v4.xx
Creative Zen Series
Creative used their own firmware format for the Zen series. All information about Creative Zen devices is available at CreativeZVMPort.

There seems to be a standardized recovery mode in these chips. The

All of us rejoice when a plant in our garden does well. But sometimes it does too well–who among us doesn't have a surfeit of one thing or another? Take wood anemone (Anemone nemerosa) at left. Now this is a lovely woodland plant, but it's a rambunctious one. A gardening friend passed some along to me a couple some years ago, and I've been yanking 'em out ever since. The plant has leaves very like that of masterwort (Astrantia major), which is another plant I grow, so it fools me into thinking it's the more polite plant. Until I see its pretty white flowers, which are a dead giveaway. I do like wood anemone, but it spreads like mad with running, underground roots that form new plants even if only the tiniest bits are left in the soil after you yank it out.
Like many of my other invasives, I've moved some wood anemone to the front garden where only the very toughest plants survive in the rootbound soil under the Norway maple. Survive? The darn thing is colonizing! Meanwhile, the area out back that I thought I'd thoroughly cleared last year has a fine new crop of plants. Sigh. You have to give it marks for perseverance.
A few weeks ago, I was volunteering at an advice clinic at Islington Nurseries in Toronto's west end–part of what I do as a Master Gardener. One man came in clutching a small fistful of leaves. "This noxious weed is everywhere in my lawn and in my flower beds," he fumed. "I don't know what it is and I want to know if there's anything I can put on it to kill it dead."
I took one look and saw that he was holding a handful of as-yet-unbloomed forget-me-nots. I was able to reassure him that these plants are self-seeding annuals, and if he didn't want any next year he could simply mow them down before they set seed. There was no need to spray them with anything.
Personally, I love forget-me-nots, which sow themselves merrily in my garden hither and yon. Once their bloom is past its best and the plants look almost mouldy and seedy, I simply pull them out and shake the seeds where I want them to come up next year. It's as simple as that.
Sweet woodruff is another plant I was delighted to welcome but now slightly less so. This is a pretty little groundcover that's at home in a woodland garden and covers itself with starry white flowers every spring (seen left, with a few forget-me-nots thrown in for good measure). It has a dainty, almost frothy appearance.
Unfortunately, it's also a rampager in my garden, though easier to keep under control than the wood anemone. I foolishly planted some in a little semicircle area where I wanted to create a patchwork of low groundcovers in different colours and textures, and the sweet woodruff is trying to muscle them all out, including the expensive clump of Canadian wild ginger (Asarum canadense). Naughty, naughty! I'll have to get out there next week and show it who's boss. (And yes, there's plenty growing in the front garden as well.)

WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. is preparing to send Syria $10 million in additional humanitarian assistance to help alleviate hunger in northern parts of the conflict-ravaged Arab country.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland says senior U.S. aid and refugee officials have been in Turkey visiting camps for uprooted Syrians and speaking with Turkish officials.
They head Saturday to Jordan, while the U.S. ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, will be traveling on to Paris to speak with the French government.
Nuland says one of the results of the trip will be $10 million in new U.S. aid.
She says the money is, quote, "primarily directed at getting flour into the north of Syria, into bakeries in Aleppo, where there's a real crying need."

.. Triumph, which has the strongest memory lane brand, is producing Bonnevilles that have only styling cues in common with the 60s models, and for that reason Ive not been all that tempted to buy one even though I understand they are perfectly nice and reliable....
As one who has ridden both 60s Triumphs and currently owns a 2001 Bonnie. The "new" Bonneville's share more than styling cues with the 60s models. Triumph did a great job in creating a bike that looks and feels like its predecessor.

I don't remember the price of the solo I tested, but it was over weight and underpowered.

|Old building to be sold; first MMH knee surgery performed
|Written by April Peregoy
Following a 35-minute executive session during their meeting Tuesday, April 7, members of the East Phillips County Hospital District Board approved the contract with High Plains Center for the Arts on the sale of the former Melissa Memorial Hospital property.
MMH administrator John Ayoub reported the Center for the Arts group's bid of $200,000 was chosen because it was the highest of the two that were submitted. It also came with $10,000 earnest money included in the contract.
He added the contract is contingent upon the removal of remaining equipment and records that are still in the building.
More exciting news was given to the board Tuesday night by Ayoub in his administrator's report. In March, Dr. Michael Hajek, an orthopedic surgeon who runs a specialty clinic at MMH, performed the hospital's first real knee surgery—a miniscus removal.
The surgery was done in the operating room and was arthroscopic (minimally invasive with the use of a camera and special tools for operating within the knee).
According to the administrator, the surgical department is also planning its first full knee replacement surgery. It will be done with a full team led by an orthopedic surgeon.
In order to perform the surgery, the hospital is taking steps to develop its surgical program. They include making sure all the equipment and tools necessary are in place, working with anesthesia to make sure they have everything they need, having providers visit with the surgeon and anesthetist to ensure the hospital can provide the follow-up care, training the surgical team and all of the accounting/billing and other logistical pieces that go along with a new service/surgery.
Another step was taken during March to get the new Electronic Medical Records system going as well. EMR cabling was installed throughout the clinic and hospital, putting the district one month ahead of its original schedule.
Ayoub noted the EMR system will be used and maintained in the clinic, but will allow a patient's medical chart to be pulled from anywhere in the hospital if needed.
Staff and web site updates
In staff news, EPCHD allowed an extension on the contract it has with interim CFO Jim Rush. Ayoub reported there is an applicant he has chosen for a second interview, but added he and the board agree they do not want to rush the process of finding and hiring the appropriate candidate.
MMH also continues to look for a new lab manager and is now looking for a physical therapy assistant as well.
Dr. Robert S. Pace, an allergy and immunology specialist, will no longer have a specialty clinic at MMH. Ayoub said Pace simply did not have enough patients in the area to justify his travels to Holyoke from Greeley every month.
Tim Johnson, director of the MMH radiology dept. and safety officer, will now wear two more hats in addition to his current titles: chemical safety officer and web master.
Ayoub was recently notified the new hospital building will undergo another state survey sometime in the near future, this one to be done by Colorado Dept. of Environmental Health. The survey will study how the hospital deals with hazardous waste disposal.
In response, Johnson was named the chemical safety officer. Ayoub said he is not at all worried about the survey as the hospital already takes great care in the disposal of hazardous waste, and he sees it as a good learning opportunity.
Apparently a man of many talents, Johnson will also act as the hospital district's web master. On Thursday, April 23, MMH will launch its new web site which will be more user-friendly and contain updated information.
The web site address will remain the same, www.melissamemorial.org. Ayoub said Johnson was chosen to maintain the site because he also happens to be very good with computers and technology.
Other business
In other business, EPCHD board members:
—held a 10-minute executive session for the purpose of discussing matters required to be kept confidential by Federal or State law, rules or regulations.
—heard comments from visitor Gib Becker about the possibility of creating a policy that would allow hospital employees a discount for healthcare as a benefit of their employment.
—received a report from Julie Vernon on the business offices.
—reviewed the Treatment of Patients policy report and a report on the policy saying people in the district should have the knowledge necessary for a healthy lifestyle. Both reports were written by Ayoub.
—approved a resolution authorizing UBS to provide the district with monthly statements on its money market account, rather than quarterly.
—heard a report and update from Dr. Dennis Jelden, chief of staff.
—are working with MMH Foundation to plan staff activities for Hospital and Healthcare Week, May 11-15. On the agenda already is a T-shirt design contest and a local massage therapist is coming in one day to offer massages at a discount to the staff. An appreciation night at the Peerless may also be an option.
—were given a report from the Quality Care Committee. It recently invited a patient to talk about his/her experience at MMH. Mostly the patient expressed gratitude for the care received, but a couple of suggestions were made.
Progress continues to be made on getting public opinions with the comment cards that are found in several places around the hospital building and clinic. Utilization of the comment cards is encouraged.
—were notified by the Community Linkage Committee that it still continues to work on contacting local organizations who would be interested in sponsoring medical education classes. Those interested are encouraged to contact Sheryl Farnsworth.
—received updates from the hospital and medical staff bylaws committees. The hospital bylaws are scheduled to be approved at the April 28 board meeting.
—will hold a special board meeting on Friday, April 24 at 12 noon to review the 2008 budget.

MORRISTOWN - It was a tale of two halves Wednesday night as boys' Division IV sectional tournament basketball action continued at Union Local High School.
The first half was a nip-and-tuck affair between small-school rivals Beallsville and Shadyside. Both teams entered with identical 11-11 records and were deadlocked at 22-22 when the halftime buzzer sounded.
However, the Tigers (12-11) broke the game wide open in the third quarter and coasted to a 59-39 victory.
''We took care of the ball better,'' Shadyside coach Ed Andes said of the difference between the first and second halves. ''In the first half we had a lot of unforced turnovers, and they had more the second half.''
The Tigers were charted with 12 first-half turnovers, but finished with 16.
Austin Dorris scored six quick points to start the third as Shadyside took the lead and never looked back.
The Blue Devils (11-12) got a 3-pointer from senior standout Teryn Jarrett to stop the run, but that would be the lone field goal the Monroe County squad cashed in the quarter, going 1-for-13 from the floor.
''I was wondering what we were,'' Beallsville coach Casey Tolzda said. ''I knew we only scored three points. The first half was kind of a draw and we told the kids at the half that we were playing good defense, but we needed to put the ball in the basket more. Then we come out and score three points.
Shadyside bumped the count to 36-25 after three and used its free-throw shooting in the fourth to carry it the rest of the way.
The second-seeded Tigers made 11 of 17 foul shots in the final eight minutes. Overall, they went 18 of 27. Beallsville, meanwhile, was 4 of 7.
Jarrett, who concluded a stellar four-year career, led all scorers with 20 points. He also pulled down a game-best eight rebounds. Logan Nippert contributed seven markers and Kyle Groves finished with six.
Adam Stupak paced Shadyside with 14 points, one more than Dorris. Both also grabbed six rebounds, as did Jared brooks, who scored eight points. Zach Frizzi added seven counters and eight boards in a reserve role.
Shadyside will now face Barnesville Saturday at 1 p.m. in a sectional semifinal.

primaries in Alabama and Mississippi, but he didn't gain any ground in the race for delegates against frontrunner Mitt Romney.
Romney wiped out Santorum's gains by winning caucuses in Hawaii and American Samoa Tuesday.
For the day, Romney picked up at least 40 delegates and Santorum got at least 34. Newt Gingrich got at least 24 delegates and Ron Paul got at least 1. Eleven delegates were still to be determined.
Even if Santorum got all the remaining delegates, the race between Romney and Santorum would remain essentially unchanged.
Romney leads the overall race for delegates with 494, followed by Santorum with 251 and Gingrich with 131. Paul trails with 48. It takes 1,144 delegates to win the GOP nomination for president.

About the Collection
In the early 1980s, Swapan Basu and wife Roma began a hand painted accessories business. Swapan focused on creating a special painting process for handbags, and Roma designed each of the paintings for the bags. Their son, Bhaskar became involved in the family business after college, and founded Basu Corporation in 2000. Utilizing the closely guarded painting technique, the first Anuschka® handbag was sold in September of 2000, and the company has continued to grow the business by focusing on handbags that blend art and function. Today the company has 30 artists, with designs sold around the globe.
Every Anuschka® handbag begins with carefully selected rich and supple leather crafted into fine handbags with practical features, precise handcrafted workmanship, signature lining, custom made hardware and branded zippers. The hand painted art on each of the Anuschka® bags is a feast for the eyes. The colors are a powerful element in each design, plus the wide range of abstracts, imaginary, and natural scenes depicted in muted colors of all shades and hues, transforms each handbag into an object of timeless art. The artwork is designed, and then translated one article at a time by expert craftsmen, creating one-of-a-kind works of art in every handbag.
Anuschka® bags are perfect for the woman who appreciates art, enjoys high quality handbags, fine leathers, and seeks to incorporate beauty with function.
About the Guest
Son of Swapan and Roma Basu, Bhaskar grew up watching his parents working hard to build their business in India. He spent summers working with them, watching his mother design and train artists, and watching his father select the leather and coordinate the process flow.
Bhaskar chose to go to college at an American university, where he received a degree in Business Administration. In 2000, he founded the Basu Corporation with his parents. As the business grew, Bhaskar got more involved in trend research and design.
Today, Roma and Bhaskar work as a team and have succeeded in bringing original designs, capturing the fashion of the season as well as the lifestyle of the people who wear Anuschka® bags.

Harvey Weinstein

Birth Place: Queens, New York, USA
Born: 03/19/1952
Birth Place: Queens, New York, USA
Born on March 19, 1952 in Queens, NY, Weinstein was raised with his brother and future business partner, Bob, by his father, Max, a diamond cutter who worked in New York City's famed diamond district, and his mother, Miriam, who occasionally worked as a secretary to help make ends meet. Weinstein had always been passionate about movies, having seen just about everything Hollywood had to offer - from James Bond to "The Ten Commandments" (1956). But it was his accidental viewing of Francois Truffaut's "The 400 Blows" (1959) - he thought he was seeing a porn movie - that sparked an unquenchable thirst for film. Every weekend, Weinstein and his brother walked two miles to the Mayfair Theatre, wh... Continue Bio >>

Cyclones Kick Off Track Season At Holiday Preview
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men's and women's track and field teams start their 2013-14 indoor seasons Friday by hosting the ISU Holiday Classic. The event will be held at the Lied Recreation Center.
The meet is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. CDT with the weight throw and the long jump. Running events will begin at 4 p.m., kicking off with women's 60-meter hurdles.
Iowa State director of track and field and cross country Martin Smith is excited to see where the athletes are in their training.
"The Holiday Preview will be the first step in evaluating where a lot of our track athletes are coming off the Fall," Smith said. "It's the first test to see if we are ahead or behind in fitness heading into winter break. The meet will also be a good opportunity to break up training experience and compete in a meet in environment."
The event will give Cyclone student-athletes an opportunity to shake of any leftover rust from the offseason and get back into the swing of competition.
Teams scheduled to compete include Western Illinois, Drake, Northern Iowa, Simpson, Central College, Missouri State, Lincoln (Mo.), the Speed City Track Club and the Iowa State Running Club.

Melissa's World Variety Produce of Vernon, California, recalled 150 packages of Melissa's Fresh Bay Leaves in three-fourths ounce packages.
A routine sampling by the Georgia Department of Agriculture revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially harmful organism.
The product was distributed to the Wal-Mart Opelika Distribution Center and was sent to Wal-Mart stores in Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi.
Listeria infections only cause short-term symptoms in healthy people, but can cause serious illness or death for young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.

sandy alderson is a sap , the giants saw him coming and gave the mets absolutely nothing of any value in return. ALDERSON should have and could have goten more for BELTRAN

Respectfully disagree. To get a top-50 prospect for a guy with two months left on his contract is a solid haul.

Whitehall group focuses on life story writing
By Stephanie Hacke
Published: Wednesday, October 31, 2012
The story could be one about the years spent fighting in World War II or an account of the holidays and family vacations.
Each person has a story to tell, and people across the region are gathering at libraries to record the stories to share with future generations through life story writing groups.
"It's fun to be able to review your life and review all of the important events in it and to leave a legacy for your family," said Debby Rampolla, Whitehall Public Library adult service coordinator.
The Whitehall library life story writing group, in existence for more than a year with about half a dozen members, is trying to expand, Rampolla said.
Sharon Lippincott, author of "The Heart and Craft of Lifestory Writing" and facilitator of the Monroeville Public Library life story writing group, will be at Whitehall Public Library, 100 Borough Park Drive, on Saturday at 10 a.m. to share techniques with participants.
Life story writing — not to be confused with memoirs or autobiographies — typically are short stories or "snapshots of life," that allow people to write in their own style about an event or time that interests them.
"There's no right way to do it," Lippincott said.

Wow! Is this an April's fool joke because I am really gullible? Do you have to have a certain broom? I tried it and it didn't work, but my broom bristles aren't exactly straight anymore.

LOL! I'm pretty gullible too... I can't get it to work with out using invisi-string.

hmmm... I'm not sure why I'm getting so many
comments about folks who can't get it to work.
It's easier with a straight broom than an angled one.
No, I don't think you can use a push broom.
No, it's not a prank.
I posted this on Facebook Yesterday and got a dozen responses from people who could get it to work,
one friend had to use her kid's broom instead but
DID get it to work.
Use a light touch and be patient.
No breezes, make sure your windows are closed.
Please let me know if you DO get it to work.

IT WORKED FOR ME! Not at first...I tried different places in my kitchen and I totally gasped and stepped back when it did work! It's still standing right now!

I think I remember something about this when I was younger. Well, I remember a time during the year when an egg will stand up on its own. It has something to do with the solstice or whatever is happening this time of year. (I know time change weekend is coming up.) Something to do with where the earth is in its revolution around the sun.

That is very cool! It took me about 2 minutes and trying different spots but my anngle broom has been standing for about 10 minutes. I think we're going to try seeing how long it will stand up.

This has the same charm as the "salt shaker standing on its edge" trick!

I can't wait to try this! I've got my fingers crossed that it will work... :)

My dad and I used to stand eggs on the small end during this crazy gravity time every year. It was a tradition. I love that you can do it with a broom too! Although, I honestly won't try it this year... I DO have a little one in the house. Perhaps next year. ;)

that's so funny because there is a shop keeper in Canada who was on the NEWS because her broom did that. Everyone thought there was something special and spooky about her shop. Now I see it is possible with other people as well!

Actually, you can stand a broom up on end or an egg or anything any day. You just have to find the center of gravity. It doesn't have to be on the equinox so go ahead and give it a try any day - just be patient. It's fun!

It worked for me! I even took a photo for proof. I found it was really dependent on the bristles being situated just so and then trying to balance the handle. Thanks for the fun trick!

It is neat, and just as Jennifer said, this will work anytime. There's no errant gravitational pulls nor magnetic fields, just simple balancing. :)

Born Nov. 6, 1978 in Tucson, AZ, Taryn Manning grew up immersed in singing, dancing and karate lessons that helped offset the more traumatic issues of her childhood, including her abusive father committing suicide. Demonstrating a charisma and verve well beyond her years, Manning and her mother moved to California so that the young girl could pursue an entertainment career. Making her debut in an episode of the children's comedy sketch show "All That" (Nickelodeon, 1994-2005), Manning went on to notch small roles in "Speedway Junky" (1999), "Come On, Get Happy: The Partridge Family Story" (ABC, 1999) and on "The Practice" (ABC, 1997-2004).

Love it!
one of the best this yr.
John Walters was right. I loved it.
It seems like it's made my apartment dustier, and there's a strange chill in the air now. Maybe it's just me.
That's on a short list of best ones ever done.

Looks like Christmas came early this week.
Probably the best one besides the Oklahoma one from last year. That may never be beaten.
That was downright fantastic! Love the shot of Sam grinning like a fool after he came out in the 4th.

Great one! I loved the Homecoming one this year and I don't think anything could beat the one after Oklahoma State last year, but this is one of the better ones. And speaking of Sam, it was pretty striking to watch him on Saturday. You could just tell that the kid was enjoying himself all night long.
that gave me chills
also, I noticed on that video that sam has quite a bit of zip on the ball when he wants to. He also has pretty good touch. I love it!!!
i loved that one still kinda hard to beat the homecoming one this year but it was still pretty awesome!
Top 5 for sure.
I wish theyd cool it with the stupid light effects when someone catches a ball. Theyve done it on several of the hit tapes. Looks cheezy as hell.
