As convenient as it is to stream Netflix on our smartphones, tablets and PCs, nothing beats watching on the big screen for the ultimate in movie and TV show enjoyment. To do it, we recommend a streaming set-top box or streaming stick, and there are plenty to choose from now, each with its own pros and cons, and some with quirks you'll want to know about ahead of time.
Sure, you can expect popular streaming services like Netflix and Hulu to come standard, but not every device is going to allow you to remotely access your iTunes library or stream photos and video straight from your smartphone. As such, we've picked out the best of the bunch and laid out their essential and unique features to help you get the absolute most entertainment for your money.
The Best
Roku 3 ($100)
The third incarnation of the Saratoga-based company's flagship streamer is the most comprehensive to date, sporting more than 2,000 channels, an intuitive cross-platform search utility, and an excellent user interface. The puck-sized offering is attractive and subtle, and equipped with nonskid rubber and enough weight to prevent it from getting shuffled around in your entertainment center. The remote is simple, but allows snappy navigation of Roku's extremely intuitive channel-based interface, and, best of all, features a built-in headphone jack for wireless listening when turning up the TV volume is a no-go. Wi-Fi is built in, but an Ethernet port is available if a faster connection is needed. A microSD slot for additional app and game storage is a feature unique to the Roku (others tend to us USB for storage). Read more here.
Buy it now from:
The Rest
Roku Streaming Stick ($40)
The compact and super-portable Roku Streaming Stick comes with nearly every notable feature present in the flagship Roku 3, but at half the price. The included remote skips the headphone jack found on the Roku 3, but it's lined with shortcut buttons for easy access to apps like Netflix and Amazon. The Stick's slick, thumb drive-like design fits discretely into any HDMI-equipped television, and though it is much smaller, still delivers 1080P HD streams and snappy navigation . With access to more than 2,000 sports, movies, news, and music channels, the Roku Stick makes it easy to cut the cord and never look back. Read more here.

Amazon Fire TV ($100)
Amazon's first go at a streaming set-top box instantly became a hit among members of the company's Prime service, which delivers tons of free streaming movies and TV shows and a handy voice-search feature to get at them more easily. But the super-slim and speedy box will appeal to anyone with subscriptions to other services like Netflix and Hulu. Amazon also made the device compatible with a dedicated video game controller (sold separately at $40), which is designed to work with a wide array of mobile games such as Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto III. As the devices on this list go, the Fire TV is the most versatile and well-supported. Read our full review here.
Buy it now from:
Apple TV ($70)
Admittedly, the Apple TV is getting a little long in the tooth — we'd hoped to hear of a new one earlier this year, but no dice. Still, the Apple TV remains one of the best offerings on our roundup — especially if you're already heavily-invested in any of Apples other devices or services — and the price has come down, to boot. While most essential services are supported (sorry, no Amazon Prime!) it is Apple Airplay and apps like iOS Remote that makes the Apple TV's user experience unique. You can easily beam any content you've previously purchased or rented through the iTunes Store to you TV straight from the cloud, freeing your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad up to do other things. Sharing personal photos and videos from iOS devices is also easiest with the Apple TV. It may be a little old, but the Apple TV is still going strong. Read more here.
Buy it now from:
Google Nexus Player ($70)
After canning its first attempt at a streaming media player, Google returned to the set-top box field in the fall of 2014 with the Asus-made Nexus Player. It offers similar capabilities to Amazon's Fire TV, allowing for voice-activated searching and personalized recommendations, along with integrated gaming if you decide to opt for an optional gamig controller. The Android-powered and Google-backed device has been slowly but surely adding apps, and Chromecast-style "casting" ability makes it easy for friends and family to share content from their smartphones and tablets. The only downside is no Ethernet port, which seems like an odd omission for a set-top box. Read our full review here.
Buy it now from:
Google Chromecast ($38)
At $35, the Chromecast wins the affordability award on this list. The HDMI dongle doesn't have a user interface per se, but instead allows you to initiate streams using your smart phone, tablet or PC. Once commanded to do so, the Chromecast pulls the content down from the cloud, leaving your device's resources alone, thus saving its battery. The device revels in simplicity, which explains why it's been such a hit.
Buy it now from:
Amazon Fire TV Stick ($39)
Don't let the size of Amazon's Fire TV Stick fool you. The device packs nearly the same punch as its larger cousin, essentially functioning as Amazon's answer to the Roku Stick and Google's Chromecast. Perfect for the budget-minded cord cutter, the Fire TV Stick streams stunning 1080p HD video and provides rich Dolby Digital Plus surround sound in the process. As sleek as it is inconspicuous, the black-matte Fire TV Stick also discretely plugs into any HDMI port without becoming an eyesore. You do give up on the voice-search feature here, but it can still be activated using a Fire Phone or Kindle Fire tablet, all of which act as remotes on their own. Amazon's Advanced Streaming and Prediction technology (ASAP),learns your viewing habits and allows you to skirt buffering sessions on Amazon-hosted content. Read our full review here.

Video Game Consoles (varies)
Even before Microsoft's Xbox One received an Emmy for its "industry-leading television-on-demand and media center capabilities," video game consoles ranked as the most popular devices for streaming content to your TV. Other top choices include the Xbox 360, and both the PS4 and PS3. The systems have quickly become jack-of-all-trades media centers, conveniently giving you access to scores of programming from the likes of HBO Go, NFL Network, Netflix, and Hulu. Several other devices on our list provide gaming, but as you might expect, the next-gen consoles blow all mobile games out of the water in terms of graphics resolution and playability. The downside? Even most last-gen consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3) still cost upwards of $150 if you buy them new.
Recommended consoles:
Playstation 4 Xbox One PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 Nintendo Wii U

General comments
126.96.36.199.7 I find it odd that this instruction now refers to itself (it's the last named instruction in the introductory paragraph). Should this be broken into two sentences, one listing the more specific instructions, and then one naming this one?
- Glennan, PCC 8/25/12
MLA is very glad to see the retention of the term "Selections."
MLA also sees the logic in consistently considering "Selections" to be a work attribute, since excerpts constitute part of a work, rather than a version of a work.
From a more practical standpoint, MLA members raised concerns about the consequences for existing access points for expressions of reordering the elements of access points. There are many access points in music that end in "Selections," and now "Selections" will have to be moved to an earlier spot in the order of elements, preceding expression level access points such as "English." The proposed new ordering of the elements is a significant change from AACR2. Several MLA members are optimistic that this legacy data in the national authority file and associated bibs can be manipulated by machine easily, although manipulation in local catalogs will be more difficult since there are access points of this type that are not under full authority control.

Testimony :: Hon. Benjamin L. Cardin
Chairman - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Today's hearing focuses on the countries of the Western Balkans: Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.
We are focusing on these countries, because they are important. From a Helsinki Commission viewpoint, they are not the worst human rights violators among the OSCE States, nor are they the least democratic. In fact, 15 years after the Dayton Agreement ending the Bosnian conflict, just over ten years from the Kosovo conflict and a decade since Milosevic was ousted in Belgrade, the region has made enormous progress. We nevertheless want to maintain our focus on them, because the United States, the EU and the international community as a whole has invested so much time, attention and resources to achieving this progress. We must make sure the job is complete, and we cannot afford to see backtracking.
In addition, to varying degrees these countries are all on the path of Euro-Atlantic and European integration, and they are about as attentive to the opinions of Washington and Brussels as counties will likely ever get. As a result, while U.S. foreign policy priorities may be elsewhere and the European Union grapples with its internal developments, a little time and attention - along with some reasonable and effectively used resources - can go a long way in promoting positive change.
We are focusing on these countries today, because events particularly in the second half of 2010 give us some reason for optimism about the future. The International Court of Justice's opinion regarding the legality of Kosovo's independence paved the way for starting new, talks between Belgrade and Pristina on a range of technical issues.
Bosnia held regularly scheduled elections that could end the deadlock in deciding on the constitutional reforms that will enable the country to become more functional as it moves closer to the European Union. Of direct benefit to the people, the European Union has extended visa liberalization to most countries of the region. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Clinton paid an important visit to the region to demonstrate continued U.S. engagement, and she took the time to directly engage young people during her visit knowing that they are the future.
If the international community hopes to capitalize on these and perhaps other positive developments in the region in 2011, or to overcome the stagnation that still exists, I think that clarity needs to be a key characteristic of U.S. and EU policies. These countries need a concrete sense of direction. For example, will the apprehension of Ratko Mladic and other at-large indictee for war crimes be a high priority for full integration. For me, who wants to see good relations with Serbia and progress on European integration as much as any Senator, it should be the clearly stated that Belgrade actually needs to get the job done.
While the U.S. position regarding the territorial integrity of Bosnia and independence of Kosovo seems firm, what exactly is the position of our EU partners, with whom we must coordinate a common approach? We hear mixed signals, and the ambiguities are obviously used by politicians in the Western Balkans to their own advantage.
I certainly look forward to working with the new House co-chair in 2011, but today I want to acknowledge Alcee Hastings' achievements in the past four years and to encourage him to remain active in the next Congress. While he is known for increasing the Commission's focus on Mediterranean affairs, Mr. Hastings has also been active on Balkan issues. I believe he already has visited every country in the region. Here in Washington, he chaired briefings on Serbia and Albania, and met with countless visiting officials from the Balkans.

So that first deer with the big head to horns ratio.....approximately what would that thing score? I have an incredibly difficult time figuring out how large a deer really is when they are smaller bodied animals compared to what I'm used to seeing.
I'd say closer to 150.

One day early last fall, Kevin Steidly was in the Rifle City Market when a boy entered the store in a panic, yelling that there was a dog stuck in nearby Rifle Creek.
Steidly pulled out his phone and called the Rifle Police Department's animal control, then grabbed a blanket off the shelf and rushed outside. He scrambled down a 10-foot embankment into the creek, where 12-year-old Tootsie, a blue heeler/Rottweiler mix owned by Linda Sanchez, 52, of Rifle, was struggling to breathe.
"The dog's head kept dropping down into the water," said Steidly, recalling the incident, "even though the water was only up to my knees."
By the time Steidly had pulled Tootsie out of the water and wrapped her in a blanket, former Animal Control Officer Brittany Coley was on the scene, and the pair hustled Tootsie into Coley's van, then to a veterinarian in Silt.
Sadly, Tootsie died on the way to the vet's office that day. Sanchez said drinking from the creek was a daily routine for her dog , but she was already weak, and in the last stages of cancer.
Despite that outcome, though, Steidly was recognized for his efforts with a Citizen Recognition Award from Rifle Police Chief John Dyer, presented at the Jan. 16 City Council meeting.
Coley nominated Steidly for the new award, which Dyer created to recognize people for good deeds performed in the community.
"I think it's important to recognize people when they are doing things well," said Dyer, who started as police chief last fall. "It's to let the community know what we value. In any police department it's important that we have a community partnership."
The award criteria reads: "The nominee must have performed an outstanding act, achievement or exceptional service to the community of Rifle which is relative to the ideals of law enforcement and overall public safety."
Steidly, 33, has a soft spot for animals: He works as the dog trainer at the Rifle Animal Shelter. On the morning he rescued the dog, he said, he could have simply called it in to animal control and left the scene, but he chose to stay.
"I'm grateful that the young man was there to help with the situation," said Sanchez, who emerged from her house that morning to find Steidly and Coley carrying Tootsie up from the creek.
"I don't know what I would have done if I would have seen her in the creek myself."

The 2011 AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge, Part 2Written by on February 13, 2012 Contributors: Randy Bolig Budget Big-Block Bonanza
When most of us imagine our favorite Mopar street engine, we generally tend to think of stroker big-blocks, small-blocks, or Hemis as being the best choice for big power. And while huge displacement and big torque numbers make for impressive dyno sheets and imposing burnouts, there are also disadvantages to building a huge engine for the street. Fist, the parts for a large-displacement V-8 engine are expensive so the cost per cubic inch can grow exponentially as displacement rises. Second, the big torque produced by large-displacement engines is often way more than the car's drivetrain, suspension, and traction can stand, resulting in tire spin and broken parts while being outrun from a stoplight by a 318 Duster. And third, as we've shown in the 2011 AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge, when it comes to horsepower per cubic inch, smaller engines seem to have an advantage.
Each year of our annual dyno contest, we challenge engine builders from around the country to build powerful Mopar engines that can run on Rockett Brand 93 octane unleaded gasoline, while staying within the rules of our competition. This year, we featured the big-block Chrysler, and engine builders had to remain within a parts budget of $5,500 to avoid a stiff penalty of ten horsepower per every $100 over the budget. The winner of the 2011 contest will be determined by the engine making the highest horsepower per cubic inch, while remaining within our allotted budget and the official rules, which are outlined on our website, www.moparmusclemagazine.com. We were impressed with the creativity of this year's competitors, resulting in a wide variety of parts used by the engine builders to create their big-blocks.
In last month's issue, we gave you the details about the dyno pulls of the four engines that were run on Monday and Tuesday during our week of competition, and this month we'll highlight the engines that ran on Wednesday and Thursday. And while this year's contest wasn't without incident, causing the LaRoy Engines entry to be run out of the pre-determined sequence, all of the engines featured in this month's issue made their dyno pulls thanks to the help and generosity of the other competitors and the staff at Comp Cams.
HP Engines
Norwood, North Carolina
We try to feature a variety of professional engine shops in our annual dyno contest, and were impressed by the engine entered by H P Engines of Norwood, North Carolina. As a foundation for his big-block, engine builder Hollis Page chose a factory Chrysler 400 block and a stock 383 forged crankshaft for a displacement of 406 cubic inches. Using Eagle connecting rods and Icon forged, flat-top pistons, the necessary machine work was performed in-house by Brett Gibson and Hollis himself, then the engine was assembled by engine builder David Kluttz using Edelbrock heads, an Edelbrock intake, a Bullet flat-tappet camshaft and Harland Sharp rocker arms. Appearing to have stayed within budget, this is a solid big-block built with quality parts.
On Comp's Superflow engine dyno, the H P Engines entry fired immediately and sounded crisp during its warm up period. Needing to make three qualifying dyno pulls during a 45-minute qualifying session, engine builders Hollis Page and David Kluttz set the timing at 36 degrees total advance and made their qualifying pulls back to back before checking valve lash and increasing the jet size in their Holley 950 HP carburetor. During their judged session, the 406-inch big-block was revved to 7,300 rpm and jet size was again increased. On their second scored pull, the H P Engines entry made its best power of 608 horsepower at 7,300 rpm, for a factor of 1.50 horsepower per cubic inch. With time left in their session, the H P Engines team performed an intake swap to a tunnel-ram, but the engine actually lost a little power, a testament to the team's initial combination.
Prism Racing
Conyers, Georgia
Located in Conyers, Georgia, Prism Racing is a full-service performance shop and offers a variety of services including fuel injection installation, a chassis dyno, and E-85 conversions, and specializes in modifying Mopar race and street cars. Utilizing the same theory as several of our competitors, engine builder Darren Tedder chose a factory 400 block and forged 383 crankshaft, combined with Ross forged pistons and Eagle rods, to form a tough short block. Topped with fully ported 440 Source "Stealth" cylinder heads, this engine utilized a variety of stock and economical aftermarket parts, saving Prism Racing enough budget to utilize a Comp Cams solid-roller camshaft and lifters.
Making their first pull of the qualifying session to the 7,000 rpm required by our rules, Prism's 406-inch big-block made over 605 horsepower right at the end of the pull, indicating to us that it had more potential. After jetting the carburetor up then back down, Darren and the crew from Prism Racing cooled their engine and removed the air-hat from the carb, ready to make their minimum of three scored pulls. Before the first scored pull, engine builder Darren Tedder instructed Comp's dyno operator to "pull the engine to 8,100" like it was no big deal. We're sure many in the room were doubtful of the outcome, but the big-block made a strong pull at nearly 641 horsepower. Quickly calculating the power he'd need to beat the current leader, T & B'z Race Engines, Darren added two degrees of ignition timing and made his second pull to 8,200 rpm. Making a peak of 647 horsepower at the top of the rpm band, Prism Racing ended up with a factor of 1.593 horsepower per cubic inch, which was enough to take the lead.
Knowing the rules required a minimum of three dyno pulls from 3,000 to 7,000 rpm during the judged session, Prism made another quick pull to 7,000 rpm to take the contest lead. With that goal accomplished, another pull was made on the engine to attempt an even better horsepower number, but unfortunately a rocker arm issue caused a power loss, and couldn't be repaired in the allotted time. Even so, we congratulate Prism Racing on their impressive performance as they look to be a contender so long as their big-block is under budget.
LaRoy Engines
Challis, Idaho
The LaRoy entry was supposed to run after HP Performance, but an unfortunate accident caused an issue with the engine and it had to be run out of sequence. During LaRoy's first attempted dyno session a dyno water valve was inadvertently left in the off position, causing the engine to run without water. Though brief, the heat did its damage and caused several exhaust valve guides to migrate in the cylinder head, bending several push rods as well. Fortunately, with the help of the staff at Comp, the team of T&B'z, and even the Mopar Muscle crew, the LaRoy's got the engine disassembled and made field repairs, enabling them to make their required dyno pulls. Although power was undoubtedly compromised due to the problem and subsequent repair method, we were glad to see the team of LaRoy Engines not only make their pulls, but make contest-leading power as well.
It's no secret that making power requires the proper combination of parts, and that cylinder-head flow is critical to that combination. The LaRoy family understands that concept well, and their business, LaRoy Engines, specializes in Mopar cylinder heads. For their entry in this year's contest, engine builder Jim LaRoy chose a factory 440 block, combined with a 440 Source 4.150-inch stroke forged crankshaft, 440 Source 6.76 length connecting rods, and Ross forged pistons, netting a displacement of some 500 cubic inches. Jim's son Cody ported a set of 906 factory cylinder heads to flow a claimed 340 cfm on the intake side, and they were fitted with Manley stainless steel valves and Manley springs. An Erson solid roller camshaft and Comp lifters were utilized, and an Indy single-plane intake and Demon carburetor handled induction.
With the LaRoy engine bolted to Comp's dyno for the second time, the engine fired up and sounded healthy during the initial warm up period. Setting the ignition timing at a conservative 32 degrees, the LaRoys systematically completed four pulls during their qualifying session, netting additional power with each pull by changing the ignition timing and carburetor jetting. During their judged dyno pulls, the LaRoys increased jet sizes again before installing colder spark plugs and advancing the ignition timing to 40 degrees total advance. The 500-inch big-block made its highest power number of 730 horsepower on its fifth pull, for a rating of 1.46 horsepower per cubic inch. Considering the circumstances, this is an awesome power number for an engine fed through "cooked" factory cast-iron 906 cylinder heads and running on 93 octane gasoline. We know plenty of race engines with aftermarket heads that would like to achieve numbers like these, and congratulate the LaRoys for making the highest horsepower and torque of the 2011 AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge.

The H P Engines big-block sounded great on the dyno, and engine builders Hollis Page and David Kluttz got busy tuning their 406-inch entry to make its qualifying pulls. Knowing these pulls wouldn't affect their score, rpm was kept at 7,000, which was below the engine's peak.With time left after their third required scored pull, a tunnel-ram intake was installed on the engine. Power was down slightly, and this big-block made its best numbers with the Holley 950 mounted on an Edelbrock single-plane intake. At 608 horsepower on 93 octane fuel this is a stout big-block, and we congratulate H P Engines for their 1.50 horsepower per cubic inch score.Keeping careful track of their dyno pulls and tuning, the H P Engines team checked and adjusted their valve lash, then increased jet size for the scored session.During Prism's three qualifying dyno pulls, they made minor jet changes to their vacuum secondary Holley carb and ran the engine to the required 7,000 rpm. This engine sounded healthy idling as well as during its pulls, and engine builder Darren Tedder admitted some 13:1 compression. Even though the high compression of this engine was somewhat offset by a very large roller camshaft, it is still a testament to Rockett Brand's specially blended 93 octane gasoline. We certainly wouldn't recommend this kind of compression on the pump gas found at the corner station.In an attempt to gain an even greater lead, Prism made an additional pull after the required pulls were complete, but it resulted in a loss of power. Further investigation revealed a rocker arm issue, likely due to fasteners coming loose. Not necessarily caused by failure of a part or engine building technique, this problem likely initiated due to the harmonics and stresses of high rpm.As with all the engines in our competition, the Prism Racing entry was torn down for technical inspection. The final results of the 2011 AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge will be posted in an upcoming issue, and be sure to log onto www.moparmusclemagazine.com to see videos of the engines running on the dyno.Back in business, the LaRoy crew made five scored dyno pulls with their big-block, eventually jetting their Demon carburetor with 97s up front and 105 jets in the rear. Ignition timing was set at 40-degrees total advance for this engine's best scored pull of 730 horsepower and a rating of 1.46 horsepower per cubic inch.After a brief warm up, the LaRoy entry misfired badly and had to be shut down. Unfortunately, by the time anyone realized that a dyno cell valve had shut water off to the engine, several exhaust guides had migrated in the cylinder heads, causing the valves to stick open. Since the problem was an unfortunate accident and not the fault of the LaRoy Engines team, we thought the only option was to let the LaRoys repair the engine and re-run it.After successfully completing their dyno pulls and scoring the highest horsepower and torque numbers of the 2011 contest, Cody and Tay LaRoy didn't mind tearing their engine down a second time not for repair, but for technical inspection. We congratulate the LaRoys for their ability to make big power with factory cylinder heads, which is only surpassed by their positive attitude and willingness to overcome adversity.

Package Deal Part VWritten by on July 18, 2005 Sacramento Vintage Ford's Mail-order F-100, Fitting Our 351 and AODE & Installing the Fuel Cell
ager to get the worlds first 100-percent aftermarket classic truck into paint, there were a couple things we had to keep reminding ourselves, like "drill all the holes in the cab BEFORE we paint it" and "DO all of our welding on the frame BEFORE it goes to powdercoating." These don't seem like things that we're likely to forget, but deadlines along with the thought of the finished product definitely makes you want to move on to the more rewarding aspects of the build.
For this month's installment we're temporarily bolting up the Smeding Performance 351 crate engine and TCI transmission, and building a rack to house the 14-gallon Polyethylene fuel tank that will be located under the bed floor--and boy are we glad we did. As it turned out, when we set the engine and trans assembly down on the mounts and attempted to get a level reading, we encountered a few problems. First, our rear-sump oil pan made contact with the crossmember on the Walton chassis. This happens from time to time, and most crossmembers are built extra-rigid with this in mind. Jason Scudellari got busy with the plasma cutter and welder and built in a notch to remedy the situation. Jason also made spacers to allow the transmission mount about an inch lower, making the carburetor base on the Edelbrock manifold sit perfectly level. The last issue was the transmission's interference with the reinforced cab floor. A relief hole had to be cut and a new cover for that area will be fabricated later. The fuel cell is a good fit for the rear of the chassis, but Jason had to make provisions for it to sit in place. He fabricated a cradle out of 1x2-inch steel and used the straps that came with the fuel cell to lock it into place.
As with every installment of our '56 buildup, unless we tell you different, each and every component, part, or kit you see is available directly from Sacramento Vintage Ford and is ready to ship. Give them a call or log on to the Web site for more information. And stay tuned for next month when we install the Lokar pedals and accelerator cable, along with the ididit steering column and VDO gauges.

The first order of business was to get the engine and trans out of their crates and bolted together. We will get more in depth with both of these items during the final build. For now, we just want to make sure they fit.Unfortunately, the only motor mounts we could find were stockers from the parts store. They're not the best looking but they'll definitely do the job.The crossmember had to be notched to accommodate the rear-sump oil pan. Jason cut the area out square so he could use the piece he cut to weld back into the area later. Then he cut some small squares out of plate steel to fill the ends of the notch. Now there was plenty clearance for the oil pan.On to the next issue. The trans needed to sit lower for the engine to be level, so Jason made four spacers from some heavy-wall tubing that did the trick.
Next on the agenda was installing this 14-gallon Polyethylene fuel tank that will be located under the bed floor. It comes with the neck and cap, sending unit, and the mounting straps.The threaded plate is split so it will feed into the tank. The cork gasket sits on top of the plastic.
Some spare wood was used to determine the height of the tank so Jason could begin building the cradle to hold it in place.At the back of the tank, the bars could angle up and meet the existing rear crossmember. Jason welded these pieces first.There will need to be a crossmember in front of the tank so the brackets have something to hang from.
Then the rear brackets were tacked up. Once everything was checked to be square, all was welded solid.

Kristen Stewart, eh, Ana Ivanovic unveiled the redesign of her website which now looks like some kind of disco wonderland. There's even a new section called "Club Ana" where you can send in questions for the Serb to answer, get downloads and participate in the forum. No beats at 140 bpm as of yet, though.
So, I guess if you can't have the world at your fingertip (read: going 0-3 in FED CUP this past weekend) then a disco ball might do, right K-Stew?
She also announced a new lifetime deal with sponsor adidas that includes wearing their products for the rest of her career and becoming an ambassador for the brand upon retirement from competitive tennis.
"I'm very proud to wear adidas for the rest of my career. adidas has helped me immensely over the last few years by providing me with great products and unique services off the court including the adidas Player Development Program," she said in a statement. "Therefore, this long-term contract extension means a lot to me and was a logical decision. I feel thrilled to be a member of the adidas family and I am very much looking forward to working with adidas on many projects in the future."
It's pretty impressive - or foolhardy - to see a brand like adidas make a lifetime commitment on a lady baller whose career is heading anywhere but up. They must really believe in the "Ana Brand" and her ability to turn her results around. But if Nike can back up Maria Sharapova with $70 million over what's likely the remainder of her career even though she's in a rut then I don't see why adidas can't do the same with NaturAna.
UPDATE: I think the post-tennis adidas option should help with the big fam she's hoping to have... (thanks Djangoo!)

MCMECHEN - With four returning offensive linemen and standout running back Jordan Bonar returning, Bishop Donahue is looking poised to make a third straight trip to the playoffs.
Bonar rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and scored 15 touchdowns as Bishop Donahue advanced into the quarterfinals of the West Virginia Class A playoffs before losing to East Hardy.
''The expectations don't change,'' Bishop Donahue coach John Durdines said. ''We expect to come out every night and work hard and get right back to the playoffs. Once you've tasted the playoffs and you've been there, we keep wanting more and want to go further.
''Every team starting out has to be thinking that. The biggest thing is to keep playing up to its expectations and up to its level. We can't take anything for granted. We know we are going to have to outwork teams because teams are getting better and we have a tough schedule again this year.''
Bonar, a second team all-stater and first team All-Valley selection, will be the lead horse this year after splitting carries with the graduated Ollie Parker.
Saquan Hill was the third-string back last year and figures to get more carries, along with sophomores Andrew Cunningham and Brett Moore.
Matt Vucelik and Alex Riedel are ''1A and 1B'' at fullback.
The offensive line features the returns of center Chris Vani, guard Gino Aquilino, and tackles Nick Fallova and Jacob Zombek.
The other guard spot is a four-man race between Chase Padlow, Billy Bauerle, C.J. Huff and Lane LeMasters. Freshmen Bo Campbell and Dylan Druschel are also in the mix for playing time along the line.
With Bonar returning along with an experienced line, that should make things easier for the winner of the quarterback job between junior Hunter Kaschke and sophomore Jesse Padlow, who are looking to replace Cody Ballard.
''It's up for grabs and it has been all through June and two-a-days,'' Durdines said. ''Padlow and Kaschke have been neck-and-neck. They are both athletic enough to where if they don't get the quarterback job, they will be able to play other positions. Right now, we are letting scrimmages dictate and it's really 50-50.
''They both run the ball exceptionally well and have their reads down both pre- and post-snap. Whenever you return someone like Jordan Bonar, he is going to be your focal point but balance is going to be our strength. We are going to be able to throw the ball and not just be a running attack or a passing attack.''
Whomever wins the job will have a good set of receivers to throw to in Lavonte Hampton, Josh Miller, and David Beazel.
In with them are senior Logan Herrick, junior Austin Cunningham, sophomore Dalton Lantz, and freshmen Will Robinson and Cole Berletch.
The defense will be led by Hill at inside linebacker, who led the Bishops with 126 tackles in his junior season.
''He will be the leader,'' Durdines said. ''He is very smart and will be making all the calls. Matt Vucelik is one of the smarter players, too, and he is a great complement to have next

WASHINGTON (AP/WUSA) - President Barack Obama carried the District easily on Election Day, picking up 3 electoral votes from Washington. Democrats outnumber Republicans 11 to 1 in the nation's capital, and the Democratic candidate has carried the district in every presidential election since 1964, the first year the city's residents voted for president.
District voters have chosen D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson to continue serving out the term of former chairman Kwame Brown, who had pleaded guilty to bank fraud and resigned. The Democrat Mendelson won a special election Tuesday, defeating frequent candidate Calvin Gurley.
Marion Barry will continue to represent the District of Columbia's poorest ward on the D.C. Council. The former four-term mayor easily defeated independent Jauhar Abraham Tuesday. In the April Democratic primary, Barry beat four challengers with 72 percent of the vote.
David Grosso has defeated D.C. Councilmember Michael A. Brown, becoming the first challenger to unseat a sitting councilmember since 2004. Grosso ran as a reform-minded candidate and hammered Brown over his personal financial problems. Democratic incumbent Vincent Orange held onto the other at-large council seat being contested Tuesday.

LIPA and National Grid prepare for storm
As many as 100,000 outages possible
1 2 3 Next page >
In preparation of the snow storm that is going to hit Long Island, LIPA is getting ready for thousands of potential outages.
In a press release, LIPA said that the storm has the potential to cause 100,000 outages. National Grid, which has taken over communications for LIPA during the storm, said it has taken steps to prepare for the worst. It has secured hundreds of extra line crews, tree trimmers and support personnel to support the 500 linemen and 150 tree trimmers already waiting to go out and restore power.
"If you look back at Hurricane Sandy and the lessons learned, one of the big issues was communication and that we might not have provided residents with timely information," said Mike Taunton, LIPA's chief operating officer. "So one of the things we wanted to do in preparation for this storm was, one, make sure there was one voice being heard and that whoever was speaking to the public and was delivering the same message."
LIPA executives said they learned the lessons from Sandy and are preparing for this storm better. LIPA has preemptively brought in extra line men and tree trimmers — something that didn't happen until after Sandy hit. Also, in an effort to coordinate information more effectively, National Grid will be communicating regularly with the press and public. There are more than 5,000 people working to prepare and respond to the storm.

Intruder, eh? To hide among us you'll need to fit in. I know: pick a likely style and fire up a tutorial. ;-). No better way to get helpful input than to post a WIP (work in progress) thread as you go through a tutorial, or as you experiment on your own.
So. What kind of story? That'll lead to what kind of map. Do the two of you have scads of ideas already afoot, or are you looking for an infusion of geography to kick start the imagination?
Well even intruders are welcome, unless they're spammers, spammers we tar and feather. You have come to the right place to learn about map making though. Have a stroll through the tutorials section and you'll find plenty of walk through's to keep you occupied.

The Bath Design Process
Live Through The Remodel
Throughout your bathroom remodeling project, you'll have family, a team of professionals, and guests come and go through your home. Relax; there are steps you can take to make sure your home doesn't look like it's under construction.
- Create a clean work area. Save your professionals time by cleaning out the old bathroom vanity and cabinets and the pathway to and around the work area before the project begins. Relocate or pack away any items in this space that could be accidentally damaged.
- Seal off your rooms. Ask your cabinetry installer to block off the construction zone and vents in the room with plastic sheets. Since dust will filter throughout the home, cover carpeting with plastic sheets and protect large pieces of furniture with sheets or blankets.
Identify the installer's work zone. At the beginning of the project, decide which rooms the installer will be working in and how much access they will
have to the rest of the house. For example:
- What room do you prefer they use as a preparation/staging area for cabinetry installation? This will most likely be the room where your new KraftMaid cabinets and fixtures are stored.
- Is there space in the garage for the installer to set up tools and cutting materials? This may minimize dust filtering through the home.
- Will you provide the installer with a house key?
- Is there an alternate bathroom the installation team should use?
- Identify the rooms that will be accessible throughout the installation. Determine how you and your family will get around your house. If the room being renovated is near a major access point, you will need to create a detour through nearby rooms during work hours.
- Keep your feet covered. Your house may become a mini construction site filled with tools and nails during the installation. To avoid injuries, wear a pair shoes indoors during the bath remodel.
- Keep the receipts together in one file. Whether it's your KraftMaid cabinets, new fixtures, lighting or paint - keep all of your receipts together.
- Create a photo journal. Track the progress of your installation with photos and notes. This will be a great keepsake to show guests after the bathroom renovation is complete.
Keep reading for tips on how to create a project plan for a successful installation.

Happy Holidays from Mr. Peanut
If you're like me, you think it's way too early to start thinking about the holidays. However, since we've never heard the Planters spokesman spokespeanut speak in 94 years, I'm willing to make an exception. Robert Downey Jr. is the voice of Mr. Peanut in two new holiday-themed commercials. The first spot, called "My Remarkable Holiday Party," was unveiled a few days ago on Mr. Peanut's Facebook page:
The second spot is called "Mr. Peanut Greeting Card":
Both commercials will air on CBS Wednesday night during Criminal Minds.
What do you think of the new spots – is Mr. Peanut a more likeable figure now that he has a voice?

Starting in 1910, an age when it was rare for women to wear make-up much less run their own businesses, Elizabeth Arden opened her first spa on Fifth Avenue and began to build one of the world's first global beauty brands. During WWII she developed cosmetics for the women who served in the military. And in 1946 she became one of the first women to ever be featured on the cover of Time Magazine. As an entrepreneur, a women's advocate, and a champion for holistic beauty, Elizabeth Arden was in many ways a 21st century woman, whose beliefs seem more relevant today than ever before. Continue the Elizabeth Arden tradition by discovering the skin care, cosmetics and fragrance collections.

Recognizing the importance of quality skin care for women during a time when men were at the forefront of everything, Elizabeth Arden captured the world's attention with the creation of one of the first luxury collections of beauty formulas. Taking a holistic approach to the concept of beautiful skin, she incorporated her belief that a healthy body encourages younger looking skin into her beauty care formulas. She promoted a lifestyle for all women that encouraged good practices regarding sun exposure and hydration, while also recommending relaxation for the mind through daily yoga sessions.
Today, her skincare, cosmetics, and fragrance collections are used worldwide and with good reason. Each innovative formula has delivered inspiration for other companies, a testament to the beneficial capabilities found in each one. Along with basic solutions such as cleansing, toning, and moisturizing products, this brand provides advanced formulations that work hard to help redefine the beauty of your skin, no matter how long it has gone without proper care.
The products deliver good results as they pamper the skin with unique combinations of ingredients that take care of daily responsibilities such as cleansing facial skin as well as addressing the unpleasant presence of creases and fine lines. From all day sun protection to all night hydration, this brand offers a solution for nearly every skincare concern and skin type. In addition to basic and advanced skincare solutions, Elizabeth Arden produces cosmetics and fragrances that are enjoyed by women all around the world.

|Continual changes and regulations on the minds of PC Telcom staff
|Written by Chris Lee
Despite a year where PC Telcom experienced an operating loss, board members and staff are excited for what the future has to offer. Members of PC Telcom met Thursday, April 12 for the annual meeting at HHS.
PC Telcom CEO/General Manager Vince Kropp painted the picture of what may shake out depending on Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules in the coming future.
PC Telcom continued the ongoing replacement of outdated copper cable with fiber optic cable. Approximately 100 miles of fiber optic cable and electronics at an approximate cost of $1.3 million were installed.
"Depending on where the proposed Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules shake out, we may be forced to alter our current plan of delivering a fiber optic connection to all members within our Holyoke exchange," Kropp said.
The upgrades that are being made provide PC Telcom additional capacity where the copper plant has outlived its useful life. Fiber optic cable provides much more capacity, which allows PC Telcom to offer much higher internet speeds.
The FCC has mandated broadband speeds of at least four Mbps of download speed upon reasonable request. Four Mbps download speeds are very difficult to attain beyond about one mile over most copper cable.
In addition to providing much more capacity, fiber optics cost less to install, less to maintain and are less susceptible to environmental problems such as radio frequency interference and the damage caused by moisture intrusion in copper cables.
PC Telcom circulated a resolution during last Thursday's meeting hoping members would provide their signatures.
The resolution, which PC Telcom will send to federal legislators, recognizes the vital importance that broadband will play in the lives of the customers. The resolution also recognizes that while four Mbps download is considered sufficient today, regulators and legislators must recognize that broadband is expected to follow a trajectory similar to computing power.
"We sometimes also hear that wireless technology will replace land line facilities, and while wireless has improved over the last several years, I believe that we are many years away from wireless technologies having sufficient capacity to handle current and future broadband needs," Kropp said.
The FCC's broadband plan identifies the entry level for sufficient broadband at four Mbps down and one Mbps up. Current wireless deployments in the area are something less than one Mbps down, Kropp said.
"Last year we increased our base internet speeds from 1.0 Mbps to 2.0 Mbps. We currently provide speeds to 15 Mbps," Kropp noted.
PC Telcom plans to install approximately 45 miles of fiber optic cable in 2012. They also plan to improve and expand their fixed wireless broadband facilities.
Another new service they hope to be deploy is PCTV+, which will be a video product that is delivered over a hi-speed or internet connection.
Kropp also noted they anticipate rate adjustments to coincide with the FCC's recent order.
The FCC and Colorado Public Utilities Commission are not only advocating residential benchmark rates of approximately $17 per month, but essentially requiring benchmark rates within a certain time frame or PC Telcom foregoes equal dollars from other mechanisms.
"The estimated $17 benchmark is about $4 higher than our current average residential rate," Kropp said.
Since PC Telcom is regulated by the FCC and the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, they do not have the luxury of reviewing their rates internally and adjusting them on a periodic basis as necessary outside of the ratemaking process.
Kropp outlined the federal resolution that was distributed and noted they also have a state resolution that will be used in the advocacy of Colorado Senate Bill 157, which seeks to modernize telecom laws in Colorado and to level the playing field for access to the Colorado High Cost Support Mechanism that was designed to deliver advanced telecommunications services to rural Colorado at affordable prices.
PC Telcom has undertaken a formal strategic planning process annually for approximately the last 10 years, board president Rick Krueger said. Board members meet with an outside firm that works in the telecom industry to discuss past goals, come up with new ones, view regulatory changes and project their financial future.
Krueger outlined seven goals that came from this year's planning session. They are as follows:
—Establish and communicate a clear direction for the company.
—Increase management and team effectiveness through team development efforts.
—Aggressively expand the education and training of board members, employees and customers.
—Maximize efforts to understand the desires and needs of customers and to address to meet them.
—Continue to pursue the latest technology and application.
—Develop and utilize partnerships to create products and services.
—Strong financial performances for the company.
Financial report given
PC Telcom accountant Jessica Cumming walked members through the financial report for 2011.
Total current assets increased from $1,865,885 in 2010 to $1,944,218 in 2011. Non-current assets dropped from $148,830 in 2010 to $118,782 in 2011. PC Telcom saw a net loss of $94,749 in 2011.
"These expenses were anticipated as part of our plant investment and the return on these investments is projected to increase in the coming years," Cumming said.
"This loss was anticipated due to the plant investments which were planned and implemented in 2011," Krueger said. He noted the investments totaled in excess of $2 million.
Krueger said the net income will continue to improve as a result of the increased use of the assets.
Total liabilities and members' equity increased about $1.3 million to $14,665,415 in 2011.
Being involved in a cooperative such as PC Telcom means the members own the company. As a result, they share in the profits that are made through a capital credit allocation.
Customers/members of PC Telcom in 2000 and/or 2008 will soon receive a capital credit refund check from the company. The check reflects $50,000 of the remainder of 2000 and $50,000 of the year 2008 patronage assigned to accounts.
Brandt, Martin re-elected to board
PC Telcom members re-elected incumbents Jerry Brandt and Randy Martin to the board of directors. Brandt fills an urban chair while Martin was re-elected to a rural seat.
Others on the board include Krueger as president, Gary Sperber and John Schneider.
Kropp also acknowledged Lonnie Krueger who has been with Phillips County Telephone Company for 35 years this month. "It's amazing to think that one of Lonnie's first jobs was converting members from open wire, party lines to now converting members from copper lines to fiber optic lines capable of 15 Mbps and beyond," Kropp said.
The Dial Tones provided the entertainment for the evening with a witty sketch which was filled with wonderful music. Members of the quartet include Bryan Kroeger, Mark Phillips, Mark Erin Phillips and Gary Koch.
Prior to the business meeting, members enjoyed a catered meal by Bill and Kristi Pelle. Members also had the chance to win a variety of door prizes given away in a drawings throughout the meeting.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (WUSA9) -- A former ATF agent was murdered while walking his dog on Wednesday night in Woodbridge, police said.
Gregory Holley Sr., 55, of Woodbridge, was shot while he was walking his dog at just before 9:40 p.m. on the 3700 block of Wertz Drive. That's when police got a call for shots fired in the area.
Police say when they got to the scene, they found Holley wounded on the ground and witnesses who say they saw the suspect running away from the scene.
That suspect, Aric Alexander Smith, 25, of Woodbridge, was caught nearby, with the weapon used in the crime, police said.
"... The accused shot the victim and took property belonging to the victim before fleeing the area. The accused was found to have some personal property belonging to the victim on his person at the time of the arrest," police said in a news release.
Smith is being charged with first degree murder, armed robbery, and using a firearm in commission of a felony, police said.
His court date set for June 19, and he's being held without bond.

...... 3.25 vs 3.5 is probably not enough of a difference to matter terribly much.
Tire sizes aren't tire sizes anyway. Some manufactures have posted actual dimensions and there are some surprises. K70 3.25 have very close to the same outside diameter as the 3.5 and you're talkin' less than a cm width difference. The Avon AM26 3.25-19 are really close to the 100/90-19 in width but the 3.25 have a much greater o.d. than the 100/90. Go figure!

A number of people in FYWP have been or will be teaching June Jordan's essay from Reading Culture to their WR101 classes, so I thought this essay from the Los Angeles Review of Books might provide a useful complement:
FOR FIVE HOURS, Rachel Jeantel, a childhood friend of Trayvon Martin, sat on the stand and tried to recount the last conversation they had before he was murdered. They had known each other since they were in elementary school. Rachel Jeantel was still a high school student when she not only tragically lost her friend but also became the lead witness for the prosecution in the highly publicized murder case that polarized America. It was a trial that would decide if George Zimmerman, the man who murdered Trayvon, would face justice. That she was just 19 years old, a teenager, shell-shocked and in mourning, were a few of the least-discussed qualities of Ms. Jeantel. Instead her size, her color, and her speech thrust her into the headlines. Jeantel is a heavyset young woman with brown skin. In the aftermath, even smart publications could not resist drawing comparisons between Ms. Jeantel and director Lee Danielss unconfident, abused, broken bird Precious. It was a comparison that told us almost nothing about Rachel Jeantel and much more about people's expectations of women who look like Rachel Jeantel: primarily, that if you are heavy and have dark skin in America you shouldn't dare exist in real life. It was pretty inconvenient then, that on the stand, Ms. Jeantel — sotto voce too — refused to be anyone but herself.

HU Student Murder Rattles Nearby Campus Neighborhood
The death of Omar Sykes, a 22-year-old Howard University student who was the victim of an apparent robbery July 4, has rekindled safety concerns among residents of neighborhoods surrounding the sprawling inner city campus.
"We all want to live in a peaceful and safe community," said one unidentified resident of the 700 block of Fairmont Street N.W., where Sykes was murdered less than two blocks from the campus on Georgia Avenue, N.W.
Police said Sykes and a friend were approached by two unknown suspects in what police believe was a robbery attempt around 11:30 p.m. He was shot multiple times within a block of where he lived, D.C. police said.
His friend was taken to a local hospital after being pistol whipped where he was treated and released.
The school has labeled the shooting an off-campus eventl.
"Unfortunately, senseless acts of violence are too commonplace in communities around the nation and we must do more to ensure that promising young men and women have the opportunity to reach their full potential," wrote Howard University President Sidney A. Ribeau in a letter to the campus community.
Rapper and actor Common, helped bring national attention to the loss by taking to Twitter.
"If you're in DC, come remember the life of a good young brother Omar Sykes who's life was taken by senseless violence. @projectgiveback @fuzethemc #wemustprotectourbabies" tweeted the Chicago native.
Metropolitan Police Lt. Deborah Pearce, who attended a community meeting to hear what the residents of the area had to say about crime in the area and to also try to create solutions to stop this violence.
A $25,000 reward has been offered for any information to help find the suspects.
"Some people have come forward, but we always need more," said Pearce.

|Another Perspective
|Written by Lori Pankonin
He lives within my heart . . .
I spotted the ice cold sugar-free caffeine-free A&W root beer in the cooler and knew Austin, my grandson, would enjoy the treat. Although restrictions aren't as stringent as they were when he first started a medical diet to stop seizures, this root beer was one his mom gave the go-ahead on from the beginning (in limited quantities). Root beer sounded good to me as well for something different, so I took two to the cash register then anticipated Austin's excitement as I popped the cap and enjoyed the fizz myself.
Upon returning to town, we went to the Lutz home. As usual, Austin and his sister came running with hugs and exclamations to welcome us, creating that rush of excitement that warms my heart like none other.
Tayvin was excited about the licorice and I showed Austin what I had for him. "Thank you, Grandma!" was his initial reaction after which he hesitated and gave it back to me.
"I'm fasting from pop for church," he said rather seriously. "But you can save it and I'll have it later."
Oh my gosh. Was this really a 5-year-old who took a committed sacrifice to heart? He was among those in his Sunday school class and church who fasted from something for 10 days. He doesn't drink all that much pop anyway, but wouldn't you know that I'd show up. And he very admirably resisted.
Often times, people give up something for Lent from Ash Wednesday to Easter, typically something that you struggle to do without. Some are very committed and fight temptation no matter how difficult it might be. It seems others fall in to the New Year's resolution pattern when the good intention doesn't last long or is followed just when convenient.
Some faiths avoid having meat on Fridays during Lent. I recall my growing-up years when we typically had fish sticks or macaroni and cheese on Fridays at the school cafeteria. As a Methodist, we didn't follow those restrictions, but it wouldn't have been a real sacrifice for me as I've always loved macaroni and cheese.
We have a friend who works hard among numerous volunteers frying fish and serving beer at their church the seven Fridays prior to Easter. They serve lots and lots of beer. Churches are a bit more conservative in this area and somehow I surmise that the combination of church and beer might raise some eyebrows. But they make a tremendous amount of money to support their Christian school and it's a popular happening following tradition.
I recall the dinner party I planned once. It wasn't until everything was smelling pretty good and guests would be arriving when I realized that the chicken would be off limits for a majority of the people who were coming. It was Lent. Now what?
How rude to dangle a carrot in front of them as I didn't have another meat choice prepared. Oh well. It's not really a sacrifice if you don't have to fight temptation.
I didn't give up anything this season but attempted to make a conscious effort to take better care of myself. Okay, I slipped a few times. Some weeks were certainly better than others.
Despite anyone's commitment to sacrifice, there's still no comparison for the sacrifice Jesus made in order that our sins might be forgiven. What a gift. Christ withstood whippings and torture as people yelled in hatred. Did he yell back? No. He kindly asked that they be forgiven.
I was 4 when my Grandma Johnson died. I only vaguely remember her, but my Dad often referred to Easter being her favorite holiday. She was a church organist and I've been told she was quite the debater, be it Bible-related issues, political or whatever. Easter touched her heart as much or more than Christmas. It became a favorite of my dad as well, although his positive character found him making the best of whatever day he was experiencing.
It seemed appropriate that we celebrated his life at his funeral service on Maundy Thursday seven years ago. Friends and family came together to share communion, a part of the historical events of Holy Week.
And Easter Sunday becomes complete when we sing that familiar tune with energy.
"He lives. He lives. Christ Jesus lives today. He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way. He lives. He lives. Salvation to impart. You ask me how I know he lives, He lives within my heart."
Hallelujah! Happy Easter.
