Since I like to capture unpredicted situations whatsoever, I would like to see how fast the camera is. From starting up to actually having taken the shot.
I always have a compact with me for unprepared situations.
Also how big it is in comparison with eg a known object (hands can have many sizes) and what you need to carry it with you if it isn't pocketable.
Just posted: Hands-on video of the Samsung NX200
Just Posted: Samsung NX200 hands-on video. We've written a full preview of the NX200 but there are times when it's easier to show than tell. With that in mind, here's our first hands-on video, which we hope will add a new dimension to our coverage. These won't replace our written content but will, we hope, add something extra. Let us know what you think.

Since I like to capture unpredicted situations whatsoever, I would like to see how fast the camera is. From starting up to actually having taken the shot.
Frankly , i don't believe the video took you a great effort to accomplish it !!!
I agree with BG_CX3_DPREVIEW's comment! I think it would be more productive if you showed us how is the interactivity, the responsiveness of the camera, the time it takes to focus an action scene, the sound of it! Things that you can't get while reading a review/preview. But its a good idea! Looking forward to see what's to come.
was this an samsung advertisement or a preview advertisement? i like getting video reviews, the only useful thing here was the angle of the flash and way to scroll adjust settings;)
A great idea in theory, but it comes off more like marketing video than a test report. At that rate, maybe you should be using the manufacturer's video
nice addition, but the concept now show is not what you expect to see in a video, all tech things you can read in the datasheet, but how the screens work, how fast t gets from shooting to preview, have fast it saves raw etc, scroll thru the menu,s that what i woulike to see, you know, when you go into a photoshop, and pick up a camera, what do you do when you hold it in your hand? Read the specsheet, hell no, dial thru the menus.
Great job with the video review. Very well done. Just curious but what camera did you use to film it? Also could you fill the frame a little more with the subject. It would make it easy to see the dials and controls with tighter framing. Keep up the great work.
It needs Kai. :)
Seriously, take a look at Top Gear, then take a look at DigitalRev on Youtube. Then make it bit more serious than both of those and thats what you should do.
Review and hands on can be fun to watch and in same time it can give necessary information.
Not saying that this is wrong, but I can aswell read article, right?
I'm one of your readers who don't have English as first language. At least for me, video voice overlays are much harder to follow then written text.
I agree that videos are great for getting a picture of size, handling etc. But the best solution would simply be silent videos concentration on those features that benefits most from video, with just text overlays.
In my opinion this would actually give a more professional impression. I have a feeling one need to devout much work and resources to avoid getting that familiar "amateur-review-on-youtube" feeling creeping into reviews. :)
Just my opinions.
Well, photos at ISO 3200 look exactly like TL500 photos at 800 (blotchy), and worse than similar from DSLRs. Samsung has to improve their noise reduction software, that's for sure.
Why jumping on hater bandwagon so soon?
PICS are from "PRE" Production model just wait till they come out with real deal.
i think the speaker could use a little more entuisiasm :)
Gotta love these NE... I mean NX cameras.
Terrific. Video is so much better for showing the handling of the camera. That bit could be expanded for me.
A very nice supplement to the written review. The sound quality could be better.
Just me, but I never watch video reviews .
The voice is not good. It drops at the end of each sentence, giving a stilted feel. Some voice training required, or hire a professional.
Great idea of using a short video to show some of the basics!
I find the video preview a good idea - it conveys a better idea of what the camera is like to hold and use.
Only Samsung would put their logo on a place no-one will ever see when you use the camera. Makes me think they are not too confident about this one.
I think they answered quite a few question simply showing us how it works, a good job. Saves one having to go to YouTube as well.
low voice? my sound card problem?
No, not a problem with your sound card. But - after all - they say this is a video... so, I surmise, no Audio should be automatically expected, after all .... :-)
Wow!!! Really nice that DPreview ad videos...it is so nice that it feels too short lol
I think it would work better with less 'hands'. Currently it's just one take. For example at 0:24 and 0:48 you turn the camera around, or at 1:12 point at the mics. A simple cut to the new position or zoomed shot would work better. (Keep some hands though, as they're great for scale and menus.)
A turntable spin of the camera at the start would be good too.
I'm not a fan of your slightly 'trying too hard' intro with the jaunty angles and generic beat music. It looks dated already. But's that probably a more personal thing.
Man I sound negative! I really like the video in general - it just feels more amateur than the rest of the site.
Keep up the good work.
I like this. Very helpful. Making it longer and more detailed would help only to a point. I look forward to the usual, great, DPReview!
the clip is too short, please make clips with more details, everybody already does so.
All reviews I've seen omit one thing which is very important for me: available focusing magnification. NX100 had only 1x and 2x so precise focusing was a bit hard.
Ah.. that explains why you had a mic (in the pic you posted on facebook w/ the Olympus 35rc).
Videos seem to do a better job conveying size and handling than stills of a camera next to some other camera (that I likely hadn't handled before).
Kind of nice as a video preview. Lets a person have enough info to see if they want to read the full review (which would be much preferred by myself as an in depth analysis) But serves a good purpose to see what the handling, size, etc. is, as has been stated in some other comments, and to give just a general overview.
Personally, I'd always rather be able to read a review and I'm glad you state that this is not a replacement. It's much more immediate and self-paced to read than watch videos. I take your point about the usefulness of moving pictures when it comes to a menu control but the shots of the camera and the array of lenses at the end could easily be dealt with in text and still. But I suspect that the true purpose of these video reviews will be to appeal to those who just dont want to read long reviews.
Unlike poster 'itsastickup', above, I'd rather not have a 'bigged-up' presentation. Keep it human and low-key like you have – no need to start doing it in an overkill 'professional entertainment' style .
Great to have video review - really helps with appreciation of how it handles. It would be better if the camera was turned on and pointed at a scene and then a photo taken - to see and hear the actual operation of the machine. A long boring exploration of features would not be great, but an expose of the most innovative features and the most annoying would go a long way towards making a decision for the potential buyer/user.
I just want to ask Samsung to make possible to buy NX200 with pancake lens in France.
Good and promising video preview from dpreview. Hope to see in-depth review as soon as possible. I really like NX200 design and features, and I don't care about EVF absence, because I has a superb AMOLED screen, and it's very compact to fit my big pocket :)
It seemed fairly "matter-of-fact" to me, with the exception of the bit about the sensor being re-designed to maximize light capture. That bit did sound a little like a marketing tag-line, but overall I think the video preview was quite neutral, and was a very good at its intent to preview the camera. DP's in-depth review will tell the rest of the story.
This review feels too much like an advertisement. I wish the video "matter-of-fact" tone to it.
Well, I was wondering when you guys would start doing video reviews and I am happy to see that it is NOW! Great first effort and I look forward to many more as you review products. Hopefully, the videos will be as comprehensive as the regular full reviews. Love this site!!!
Great idea to have videos of preview and reviews - look forward to more of them.
However, could we kill the "construction music" at the beginning and the end?
Cool,I happened to come across the dpr via an accidental link and I am hooked for good and its getting better by the day,carry on and keep it up.All the best !
Indeed a good idea to add video to the (p)reviews)
In the future it might be a nice idea to add some kind of tips&tricks videos as well
Wonderful. Love the addition of video.
Saturday, September 3, 2011
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your video presentation. It is wonderful new tool that augments your service. I love what you're doing! Do more!
Nice and clear.
Seeing the way the UI works was informative.
I'd have liked to see the camera in hand with kit and pancake lenses attached to get an idea of scale
Also agree with the idea posted to show if it can fit a baggy pocket or a similar alternative for carrying.
If you add video to reviews I suggest showing how well the screen works in bright light because that will be clearer than in written content.
In general the way to decide content should be whether it can be better expressed in video than the written review. In this preview I think the UI demonstration did this but the rest was probably superfluous.
I hope you continue with these in the future as they've got obvious potential to help.
The video is fine, the voice is good.
Just one technical point, the audio is about 10 to 15 dB quieter for the voice than it is for the introductory and ending sounds. That makes the voice very hard to hear as it's so quiet, relatively speaking.
Very good, and the voice is perfect. You don't want the voice to be a distraction from the excellent video.
Only change I would suggest is to keep the hands away from the front of the camera at the start.
Nice and calm, informative for such a short length. These kind of movies suit me just fine.
Not calm, just a little depressing and expressionless, as sad as the London fog...
Come on! courage, more vitality to your age!
Video about tecnology with a little less (white) skin, please ...
zzzzz, the chap just put me to sleep.
Guys, you need to develop a decent presenter voice: lots of emphasis and verbal gesticulations. It takes practice and a lack of self-conciousness. The content was pretty dull too; not as engaging as the written previews.
Personally I'm a reader and usually avoid vids. But if I do watch a vid I'd prefer not to be put in to a coma.
For comparison see videos by Gordon Laing that complement his written camera reviews.
I find Godon's style of hands-on demonstration videos very helpful.
Great start, but where's the audio?
Great new feature. Short and to the point, great stuff.
I don't think it is feasable to have a full review in video, but maybe each main aspect in a review containing a short video illustrating the main points could be great.
The illustration of operations, like showing the menu and the aperture control is really a plus in a video like this. As tranced mentioned maybe even amplified sounds from the camera, such a s the clicks etc, to really convey the experience (like when using a rotating selector).
Smart meny - clip on flash.. hmm, where did the get that idea from.. OLYMPYS maybe!? :)
Nice to finally see videos on the site. Although this video is quite simple, I'm sure this is only the beginning and there are many great things to come. Kudos!

|In the zone: drivers reminded of school safety tips
|Written by Darci Tomky
Holyoke educator Yesenia Bencomo, pictured at right, holds the slow/stop sign at the crosswalk in front of Holyoke Elementary School, alerting drivers that students are crossing the street. Students are pictured from left, Adison Goldenstein, Cooper Goldenstein, Laura Conde, Jackie Gonzalez and Yovanna Iniguez.
As school has gotten back into the swing of things this fall semester, it's a great time to remind drivers to be cautious of school buses on the road as well as children and teens arriving and leaving school.
According to the National Safety Council website, all 50 states have a law making it illegal to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children. That means both sides of traffic must stop when students are entering or exiting a school bus.
Robert Jacobs, director of transportation for Holyoke schools, explained the yellow flashing lights on the bus indicate it is getting ready to stop. When it is stopped and the door is open, red lights will be flashing, and an extended stop sign arm signals motorists to stop.
Jacobs said on a paved road, the bus will only stop if the speed limit is 45 mph or less. Otherwise the bus will pull into the student's driveway. On dirt roads, the bus could be stopped on the road, and drivers should be ready to stop.

Ethical Challenges in Schizophrenia ResearchAdvocate May/June '00
Research on schizophrenia using human subjects poses ethical challenges to researchers-and to advocacy organizations-even though we know it is vital to understanding the illness and developing better treatments. The crux of the challenge is the fact that this profoundly disabling disorder may impair a person's ability to understand the facts about the research and their implications and, therefore, to make well-reasoned judgments about participation. Particularly where the risk is more than minimal and there is no immediate direct benefit to the participant, the researcher must do whatever is needed to protect the people volunteering for the study and to ensure that they provide meaningful, informed consent throughout the trial.
The Maryland Psychiatric Research Center has paid close attention to these issues. In 1995, Dr. William T. Carpenter, Jr., the center's director, became aware of the ethical questions raised during psychiatric research at large and decided his program had to incorporate even more safeguards than those provided by the routine review of research by an institutional review board (IRB) and routine approaches to consent. He took his staff on a day-long retreat to develop new approaches for protecting consumers. The center's resulting program, recently reviewed by the federal Office of Protection from Research Risks, illustrates a number of ways to enhance ethical protections and informed consent.
Other research locations have developed other educational aids, have assigned specific staff to advocate for participants, or hold weekly meetings with consumers about their research program and specific research protocols to promote better understanding.
Unfortunately, these "best practices" are far from universal. NAMI must establish models for how research and researchers interact with us and our relatives and advocate actively until best practices become routine practices.

Hey all,
I'm currently starting to play with zimlets and I've run into an error deploying my test zimlet. I have read through the spec but perhaps I missed something. It appears that my test zimlet fails to be installed. It only ends up in the LDAP list disabled. For starters my zimlet only has two files, com_rs_marty.zml and config_template.xml. Here's the command and its output:
marty@zdemo:/opt/zimbra/bin$ ./zmzimletctl deploy /home/marty/com_rs_marty.zip
[] INFO: Deploying Zimlet com_rs_marty in LDAP.
[] INFO: Installing Zimlet com_rs_marty on this host.
Error: No such file or directory
Also, I have two other general questions about what zimlets can and can't do in Zimbra. First, can I add a menu item to the 'new' dropdown and have that trigger my zimlet? If so, can the modification of that dropdown be handled via the zimlet deployment or is that elsewhere in Zimbra that it would be configured? Second, can a zimlet's canvas output add content to the message body of an email? So the flow would be select, under the new dropdown choose 'marty message' that creates a blank email message and pops up my zimlet. I do some things in the zimlet and it outputs html/text into the message body of the empty email.

I'm not sure if anyone can help with this but I figured it was worth a shot. I have a user that has a Zimbra e-mail account and he uses MAPI to connect it his Outlook 2010. Everything was working fine up until a couple of weeks ago. Now, when he is on our network, he can no longer send attachments through his Zimbra e-mail account. The system just hangs and then comes up with a network error.
If he disconnects from our network and connects to any other network (verizon, cable,etc) attachments can be sent just fine.
The problem only occurs on this one particular network.
Any suggestions on what may be causing the problem or troubleshooting tests we can try to solve this? We have disabled his anti-virus and done all the routine checks but he is still unable to send attachments when connected out to this one particular network. Very puzzling!

DECATUR, Ga. -- Andrea Sneiderman has pleaded not guilty to charges related to her husband's death.
Sneiderman's attorneys entered the plea during an arraignment Monday morning.
The defense now has two months to file motions in the case.
During the arraignment, Judge Gregory Adams asked the defense if it wanted a speedy trial. Sneiderman's attorneys were adamant in saying they did not.
Prosecutors said they expect Sneiderman's entire trial, from jury selection to verdict, to take roughly the same amount of time as Hemy Neuman's trial earlier this year -- five weeks.
Sneiderman is accused of conspiring with Neuman, her former boss, to kill her husband, Russell "Rusty" Sneiderman, outside their son's Dunwoody daycare nearly two years ago.
During Monday's arraignment, the defense also referred to "wherever we try this case," which implies they may file for a change of venue. Sneiderman is currently scheduled to be tried in the same courtroom where Neuman was tried and sentenced.
Neuman was found guilty but mentally ill and sentenced to life in prison this past March.
Days of testimony at that trial focused on whether Andrea Sneiderman was involved in an affair with Neuman and whether she knew details of her husband's death suspiciously early.
Andrea Sneiderman has repeatedly denied both accusations.
(The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

Jorge L. Ortiz, USA TODAY Sports
SAN FRANCISCO - Suddenly, a Giants offense that look dead in the waters of both McCovey Cove and the Mississippi River is scoring at historic levels - well, at least for League Championship Series - beating up on the Cardinals' inspirational leader and pushing this NLCS toward a seventh game.
Oh, and the vaunted but at times tainted San Francisco pitching rotation is back in charge as the Giants charged out to a 5-0 lead in the first two innings of Game 6 on Sunday.
The Cardinals didn't get a hit off Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong until Daniel Descalso's single with two outs in the fifth and only had two hits as the game went into the sixth.
Meanwhile, the Giants had Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter on the verge of his second loss of the series thanks to a four-run second inning.
That was the fourth time in this series the Giants have scored four times in one inning, tying an NLCS record by five previous teams. That last one was last year's Cardinals in their six-game victory against Milwaukee.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely applied as a trouble-shooting and Quality by Design (QbD) tool for bioprocess from downstream, to upstream, to fill–finish. Part 1 of this article series provided an overview of the technology, and the model setup. Here in part 2, we provide a detailed review of the applications of CFD in cell culture and fermentation processes, including flow characterization, mixing, resuspension, scale-up, and cell damage.
Process development engineers frequently face biopharmaceutical performance problems such as cell damage, optimizing hardware configurations including sparger design and impeller choice, and system equivalency for technology transfer. CFD can address the critical operating parameters of mixing time, power consumption, particle size distribution, gas distribution, and the just-suspended agitation speed.
The flow field in an agitated bioreactor under turbulent flow conditions is quite complex, consisting of several time-dependent flow systems, including discharge flow originating from the impeller, blade wake, trailing vortex systems, impinging jets on the wall, boundary layers on the wall, baffle-bound vortex systems, and large recirculation zones. Primary flow patterns depend on the impeller geometry, impeller clearance, the presence of baffles, liquid height, and blade pitch. Because the tanks and impellers used in bioprocessing come in all sizes and shapes, flow characterization is difficult.
CFD has been widely used to investigate the flow dynamics in agitated and sparged tanks because it can provide detailed three-dimensional information about velocity and pressure. It can reproduce the key flow pattern—the radial flow generated by a Rushton impeller and the axial flow caused by a pitched-blade impeller. Moreover, it has been used successfully to capture and predict important flow characteristics, such as the large recirculation patterns, the trailing vortex structure in the vicinity of the impeller and cavity formation, and even three distinctly different stable flow patterns (parallel, merging and diverging) in a tank equipped with dual Rushton impellers.3–10
Recently, numerous studies have verified the existence of the macro-instability (MI), a large-scale low-frequency phenomenon occurring in a baffle-agitated tank.11–18 The MI, when it appears, scales with the rotational speed of the impeller, N. Its occurrence is dependent on both the impeller geometry and the location of the impeller relative to the tank walls. MIs can cause practical concerns, such as massive vibrations that lead to significant damage to the tank interior wall, impeller shaft, and impeller, and also may be responsible for some observed phenomena in agitated tanks, such as large dissolved oxygen (DO) fluctuations, which can lead to serious control problems.
Three frequencies have been discovered, with the lowest being 0.02 N, the highest around 0.2 N, and various intermediate frequencies in between. These MIs are associated with the mean velocity as determined over a short time interval, rather than with turbulent velocity fluctuations. The MI of the lowest frequency, only under specific conditions and primarily in a region in front of the baffle, is induced by a precessing vortex,17 whereas the MI of the highest frequency may be related to circulation and is present for a wide range of conditions and geometries across a significant part of the vessel volume.16 The existence of intermediate MIs indicates that there is some cross talk between the low- and high-frequency motions for a wide range of frequencies.13 One intermediate frequency MI, 0.06 N, appears between the turbine and the liquid surface, characterizing an organized modification of the flow pattern that creates a transient violent flow activity in the upper part of the vessel.14
CFD simulations have identified all three MI frequencies.6,11,12,16,19–24 A low-frequency precessional vortex motion in a vessel stirred by a Rushton turbine has MI frequency values nearly identical to the lowest reported frequency.23 Large-eddy simulation (LES) models have revealed unsteady asymmetric flow patterns with intermediate frequency MIs in a pitched-blade turbine (PBT) impeller stirred-tank that is consistent with reported digital particle image velocimetry data.19,13 Frequency analysis of CFD results has revealed an MI with a frequency of 0.186 N in a PBT tank with a Reynolds number >20,000, also matching experimental results from different scales of tank.16
These studies may provide valuable insights for interpreting many previously unexplained hydrodynamic phenomena observed in stirred-tanks, such as the time-dependent settling of solids in dilute suspensions, bi-modal and tri-model velocity histograms in laser-Doppler experiments, and large fluctuations of measured DO and pCO2.

Tuesday News, November 27
Fire Destroys Le Mars Apartment Complex
(Le Mars) -- Twelve people are now without a home as a fire destroyed a victorian style home converted to apartments. Fire broke out at about 12:40 p.m. Monday afternoon with smoke
that could be seen for several blocks. The structure is located at 335 3rd Avenue S.E. and sits across the street from the Franklin Elementary School. Le Mars and Merrill Fire Departments responded to the blaze with additional support from Orange City aerial truck. It was four hours before fire officials were able to control the blaze. Le Mars Fire Chief Dave Schipper says the fire forced fire officials to take a "defensive" move to contain the fire.
Listen to
The building was listed as a total loss with damages expected to exceed $100,000. Schipper says all the tenants were able to escape the blaze and there were no injuries. Schipper says he had concerns about neighboring homes and he made the decision to battle the blaze from the top - down.
Listen to
Fire officials were able to rescue a cat from the burning structure. The cause of the fire is uncertain and is under investigation. Assisting with the fire was the Merrill and Orange City Fire Departments, Plymouth County Sheriff's office, Le Mars Police, Le Mars Water Department, Le Mars Ambulance, Iowa State Patrol, and the City of Le Mars Street Department.
County Supervisors Expected To Approve County Employee Bargaining Agreements
(Le Mars) -- Plymouth County Board of Supervisors are expected to approve the County's secondary road employee bargaining agreement, as well as the Sheriff's employee bargaining unit during today's weekly scheduled meeting. Both agreements are for a three year term.
School Board Approves Student-Teacher Program With USD
(Le Mars) -- During last evening's Le Mars Community School Board meeting, the board approved an agreement with the University of South Dakota for a student teacher program. The agreement will go from July 1, 2013 until June 30, 2017. The school board also heard a report from the school district's activities directors as they reported to the board how effective the new administrative structure was performing. The activities directors were assigned new responsibilities three years ago due to budget cuts.
Proposal Calls For Additional Schools For Blind and Deaf
JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) - A committee has decided to recommend Iowa provide education services for blind and deaf students at existing campuses in Vinton and Council Bluffs and three new sites in a
regional system.
The proposal will be forwarded to the Iowa Board of Regents. A board vote isn't expected
until February.
The proposal will cost $3.2 million more than current spending to serve the deaf and blind students. But School for the Deaf Superintendent Patrick Clancy says the extra cost would be shared
by various entities, including local school districts.
The regents charged the committee to review the effectiveness and efficiency of the services.
The state serves about 500 students who are blind or visually impaired. It serves about 1,500 students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Des Moines Set For Bullying Seminar
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Department of Education says nearly 1,200 students, educators and parents are expected to attend a daylong anti-bullying summit.
The Governor's Bullying Prevention Summit will begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines.
Speakers include Paul Gausman, superintendent of Sioux City schools, and author Rosalind Wiseman.
The event is sold out but the summit will be streamed live over the Internet at https://educateiowa.eduvision.tv.
Iowa Tops The Nation With Graduation Rate
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The U.S. Department of Education says Iowa had the nation's top graduation rate in the 2010 school year, with about 88 percent of students graduating.
The Des Moines Register reports the figure narrowly beat Wisconsin's 87 percent rate.
Nevada had the lowest rate, with 62 percent graduation, just ahead of New Mexico's 63 percent rate.
The 2010-2011 academic year was the first time all states used uniform standards to measure the number of students who graduated.
Iowa Department of Education Director Jason Glass commended educators for the high graduation rate but noted in a statement Monday that low income students, non-native English speakers and
those with special needs performed at a lower level than other students.
Des Moines School Board Considering Hiring A Lobbyist
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Des Moines school board has scheduled a vote on whether to hire its own lobbyist and raise the district's influence in the state Capitol hallways and meeting rooms.
The Des Moines Register says (http://dmreg.co/113KF0V ) the board is expected to vote on the proposal Tuesday. The district would be the first in the state to have its own lobbyist, if the measure were to pass.
The Des Moines district is a founding member of the Urban Education Network and would continue to be active with its lobbying efforts.
District spokesman Phil Roeder says having a lobbyist of its own would let the board focus the lobbyist's efforts on issues the board considers to be the most important.
A lobbying firm likely will cost between $15,000 and $30,000 a year.

Transfer Credit
(See Primary Writing Requirement, Intercollegiate Registration, Inactive Status, Study Abroad, Summer School Courses, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, A-Level Examinations.)
Note that a Transfer Credit Manual containing detailed procedures and information is available in the Center for Advising Services.
Related Resource: MCC Transferable List
Students should be advised to follow the instructions outlined below in order to ensure that courses will transfer back to the College.
- Request a catalog or summer bulletin from the other school or go online. (No approvals are needed for UR summer courses.) Summer bulletins are generally available in mid-March or April.
- Pick up a Course Approval Form from the Academic Services Counter outside Lattimore 312.
- Pick out the courses. The general faculty policy is that courses that are similar in content to courses offered by UR will transfer. Students cannot earn credit for a similar course already successfully completed here. Transfer credit may be awarded for on-line courses assuming the course content is similar to courses offered at UR. Courses for a major or minor must be approved by the authorized faculty member in the appropriate department (see below). In some cases, a department may determine that an on-line course is not comparable in content to a course offered at UR.
- List the courses on the Course Approval Form, attach the course descriptions, and seek approval as follows:
- Elective courses can usually be approved by any adviser in the College Center for Advising Services (or the Hajim School's Dean's Office). In the case of an ambiguous description, or when a department has requested it, the adviser may refer the student to a department for approval. Note: courses may not be transferred into clusters.
- Courses for the major or minor must be approved by the authorized faculty member in the appropriate department. A list of faculty who approve transfer credit on behalf of their departments is posted at the Academic Services Counter and is available at http://www.rochester.edu/college/CCAS/students/curriculum/authsign.html
- Courses to be used toward a certificate first require approval as noted above. Students in Actuarial Studies, Asian Studies, and Mathematical Modeling request the written approval of the chair of their Certificate Committee and return the Course Approval Form to the attention of the Multidisciplinary Studies Center. Students in Polish and Central European Studies request the written approval of their PCE adviser and likewise return the form to the Multidisciplinary Studies Center.
- Credit is not given for CLEP exams.
- Submit the approved Course Approval Form to Lattimore 312.
- Upon completion of the course(s), ask the Registrar at the other school to send an official transcript to the College Center for Advising Services.
Send hardcopy transcripts to:
Center for Advising Services
Lattimore 312
PO Box 270402
University of Rochester
Rochester, NY 14627-0402
Send electronic transcripts to: firstname.lastname@example.com
A maximum of 64 credit hours is transferable to the UR degree from two-year schools. Other than the maximum of 64 credits that can be transferred from a two-year school, there is no specified limit to the amount of credit that can be earned through on-line courses. Approved courses that are completed with a grade of C or better will transfer. Please note: Only the credit will transfer. The grades do not transfer and will not affect the GPA, therefore the grades cannot replace grades earned at UR. A Transfer Credit Evaluation will be emailed to the student. The number of transfer credit hours to be granted is determined by comparison of total hours required for graduation; for example, a student who had earned 15 credits at a school requiring 120 credits for the degree would be awarded 16 credits here, based on our degree requirement of 128 hours.
Courses taken while a student was in high school which were sponsored by a college but were taught in the high school are not approved for transfer credit. However, students enrolled in college coursework on a college campus are eligible to receive transfer credit assuming the courses are completed with a grade of C or better and are approved. Students who believe their situations warrant an exception should always speak with a CCAS adviser. A special petition form is available for coursework taught in the high school. It requires a comprehensive letter of support from the appropriate faculty member. The final decision then is made by the Dean of the College.
Students who have taken credit-bearing courses at the University of Rochester while in high school, through the Taste of College program or otherwise, should be aware of the following. Grades for these courses will be factored into the cumulative grade point average and credit will count toward undergraduate degree requirements. Students have the option of requesting that these courses be treated as if they were transfer courses, in which case the grade will be removed from the average, and credit will be counted toward degree requirements as long as the grade was a "C" or better. Petitions should be submitted to the College Center for Advising Services.
Freshmen who defer their enrollment are permitted to transfer a maximum of eight credits from another college or university.
Transcripts and score reports from other institutions kept in the sudent's academic file in the Office of Records are the property of the University of Rochester and, as such, are under federal policy. A student has the right to view the documents in his or her file. However, per College policy, the College is not required to provide (or allow the making of) copies of these documents. Transcripts submitted to the University of Rochester for admission or credit transfer become the property of the University of Rochester and cannot be returned to the student or forwarded to other institutions.

I want to use the tooltip in my zimlet to show some details. In the content of the tooltip is a link, that can be clicked. However, moving away from the matched text closes the tooltip.
I read something about a sticky tooltip, configured that in my zimlet definition file, but it doesn't work somehow. Perhaps, because I fill the tooltip during runtime, not by an actionUrl.
Can somebody tell me how to develop such a tooltip or point me to examples?
Kind regards

Until it's sorted out, everyone is "winging it", but you're suggesting a top to bottom rebuilt for what can be "one bad receiver".
The no packets problem I think is due to the router and ip addresses. There is an error code that pops up on the dvr but if it's intermittent they may not be using the dvr when that happens.
Again it's not as likely but given all of the smaller items getting everything to spec would remove possibilities that could exist.
I don't disagree with your line of thought on the whole issue but I also don't want to ignore other possibilities that are easily, and should have, been resolved by now.
I hate "shotgunning" to try to fix things, but sometimes that's all you've got left.
Since the DVR has recordings that don't want to be lost, setting it aside, installed another DVR and testing it in service to see if everything is fine or not, might be another option.
If there still are problems, then it wasn't the DVR. If they've gone, well it more than likely was.
If a DVR is not recording the right channel, then it has nothing to do with the router.
If it's not having recording problems, but playback issues, but only with the CCK connected, well it's the router.
Following a logical troubleshooting path to isolate the cause(s) should be followed "IMO" before you rip out the whole system, because one tuner isn't active and the customer doesn't care.
"But hey" that's me.

Lombok Travel guide
Lombok : Michelin's recommendations
The "chilli pepper" Sunda island is wilder, more intense and, in a word, spicier than its famous sisters, Java and Bali. It's sure to delight travellers in search of authenticity.
Located beyond the "Wallace line", a gigantic geological fault and biogeographical border between the two large Indo-Malay and Australasian ecozones, this little insular territory also has another side, its southern sphere. And it is more contrasted, as there is little in common between the crops grown in the rainy central plains and the southern hills blanketed with savannahs and arid scrubland.
Try climbing up Rinjani, a divinity of ash and stone to which Lombok owes its fertility as well as its torment. From the summit you can see one of the most magnificent panoramas in the Indonesian archipelago. Take a stroll through its rice paddies, giant stairs sculpted on the slopes of the volcano. Their distinctively-shaped rice granaries have become one of the emblems of this island.
Then you can trade in your hiking boots for a pair of flippers, as the Gili archipelago opens up its fabulous underwater aquarium to you against a picture postcard backdrop. Whereas climbing up Rinjani probably gave you quite a thrill, here you can just sit back and enjoy a little rest and relaxation.
The Asian-style moderate Islam practised here is imbued with Hinduism and animism. Gamelans are played together with tembang sasak, the island's sung poetry. And don't hold back the smiles - they'll be returned a hundredfold along with a cheery "Hello Misterrr!".

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
BAYLOR: The Bears (3-1) had the week off after falling the previous week at
West Virginia in a shootout, 70-63. They'll face TCU and Texas over the next
two weeks.
IOWA STATE: The Cyclones are 4-1 following Saturday's 37-23 upset win at 15th-
ranked TCU. Jared Barnett, making his first start since the Pinstripe Bowl
last season, threw for 183 yards and three touchdowns in the win. All three of
those TD passes went to Josh Lenz, who finished with a career-high 147
receiving yards and also threw for one. Midway through the fourth quarter,
David Irving tipped a pass, intercepted it and ran 21 yards for a touchdown to
stake Iowa State a 14-point cushion. The Cyclones were able to hang on to snap
the nation's longest win streak and beat a ranked team for the third straight
season for the first time in school history. They took advantage of five TCU
turnovers to win despite being out-gained, 455-350. ISU, which ranks 18th
nationally in scoring defense (15.8 ppg) hosts Kansas State this Saturday.
KANSAS: The bye week did not help the Jayhawks, who suffered a lopsided 56-16
setback at Kansas State over the weekend to fall to 1-4. Dayne Crist
connected on 16-of-27 passes for 189 yards with one touchdown and three
interceptions for the Jayhawks (1-4, 0-2), who have lost four in a row since
starting the season with a win over South Dakota State. James Sims rushed for
115 yards and a score on 28 carries. However, the defense allowed K-State to
put up eight touchdowns in only 30 plays as the Wildcats claimed the Sunflower
Showdown for the fourth straight season. After holding the ball for nearly 22
minutes in the first half and trailing 21-14 at the break, the Jayhawks turned
the ball over three times in the third quarter and KSU put 28 points on the
board. Through five contests, Kansas ranks 97th in the nation in total defense
(446.2 ypg) and are 109th in scoring offense (20.0 ppg). The Jayhawks will try
to right the ship when Oklahoma State comes to town this Saturday.
KANSAS STATE: The sixth-ranked Wildcats cruised to a 56-16 win over Kansas on
Saturday. John Hubert carried the ball 10 times for 101 yards and four
touchdowns. Collin Klein completed 7-of-14 passes for 129 yards and two
touchdowns for the Wildcats (5-0, 2-0 Big 12), who are unbeaten after five
games for the second straight season. Klein also carried the ball 10 times for
116 yards and two scores. Tyler Lockett and Travis Tannahill caught TD passes
for Kansas State, which scored 35 points in the second half. The Wildcats
racked up 346 yards on the ground and 475 yards overall. Despite the
comfortable final cushion, head coach Bill Snyder said after the game that he
was angry about the team's slow start. The defense gave up 175 rushing yards
in the game, the most surrendered by the Wildcats since allowing 215 yards on
the ground to Iowa State last season, whom they play this coming weekend.
Leading 21-14, K-State put the game away with a 28-point third quarter.
OKLAHOMA: The 13th-ranked Sooners rebounded from their first loss of the
season by notching a 41-20 win at Texas Tech on Saturday, handing the Red
Raiders their first loss of the season. The win also served as some revenge
for a home loss to TTU last season, which broke the Sooners' 39-game win
streak in Norman. Oklahoma is now 19-0 in games following a regular-season
loss dating back to 2004. It also marked the team's first win in Lubbock since
2003. Landry Jones completed 25-of-40 passes for 259 yards and threw
touchdowns to Justin Brown and Kenny Stills. Blake Bell scored on a pair of
one-yard runs as OU looked sharp coming off a bye week. Javon Harris put the
game away midway through the third quarter with a 46-yard interception return
for a touchdown, which gave OU a 38-13 lead. The Sooners look to stay in the
Big 12 title hunt when they face No. 15 Texas in the annual Red River Rivalry
game at the Cotton Bowl in Texas.
OKLAHOMA STATE: The Cowboys (2-2) were idle for the second time in a span of
three weeks. They suffered a 41-36 home loss to Texas their last time out and
will travel to Kansas this week.
TCU: It was a rough week for the Horned Frogs, who suffered their first loss
of the season as Iowa State came into Amon G. Carter Stadium and notched a
37-23 victory. Entering the game, the Horned Frogs had been one of the best
defensive teams in the country, ranking second in the FBS with just 7.3 points
per game allowed and seventh with 255.8 yards allowed. However, the defense
struggled on this day. For TCU (4-1, 1-1 Big 12), the loss puts an end to the
nation's longest active win streak, as the Horned Frogs had won 12 straight
dating back to last season. It also marks their first loss to a conference
opponent as a new member of the Big 12. The Horned Frogs had also won an NCAA-
best 25 straight conference games. The Horned Frogs were forced to face Iowa
State without junior starting quarterback Casey Pachall, who was arrested
Thursday morning on suspicion of DWI and suspended by head coach Gary
Patterson for at least a game, possibly more. Without Pachall, the Horned
Frogs turned to redshirt freshman Trevone Boykin, who responded with a tough
performance, going 23-of-40 for 270 yards and a touchdown. Boykin also threw
three interceptions, with two in the fourth quarter, taking TCU out of
TEXAS: The 15th-ranked Longhorns (4-1) suffered their first loss of the season
against now No. 5 West Virginia, 48-45. David Ash connected on 22-of-29
throws for 269 yards, including an 8-yard TD pass to Marquise Goodwin with 15
seconds remaining. However, West Virginia recovered the ensuing onside kick
and sent the Longhorns (4-1, 1-1) to their eighth straight loss when facing a
team ranked in the top-25. After the game, head coach Mack Brown said he's
having trouble with how many rushing yards the team is giving up. WVU, which
ranks second nationally in passing offense, gashed the Longhorns for 192 yards
on the ground. Texas is ranked ninth in the conference and 83rd nationally in
run defense, allowing 182.4 ypg on the ground. Joe Bergeron had four rushing
touchdowns for the Longhorns. His 4-yard scamper up the middle gave the
Longhorns a 38-34 edge in the final minute of the third quarter. However, the
Mountaineers reclaimed the lead in the fourth quarter and never looked back.
The Longhorns will try to tighten up the defense when they visit Oklahoma this
week for the latest installment of the Red River Rivalry.
TEXAS TECH: Texas Tech got roughed up at home by Oklahoma, 41-20. The Red
Raiders had their worst defensive performance this year, giving up 380 total
yards after coming in ranked No. 1 in the nation. Seth Doege led Texas Tech to
a victory over Oklahoma last season, but struggled on Saturday and was unable
to replicate the same result. Doege finished 22-of-36 for 203 yards and was
intercepted three times, with his third returned by Javon Harris for a score
that put the game out of reach for the Red Raiders (4-1, 1-1), who were denied
a 5-0 start for the second consecutive season. SaDale Foster and Kenny
Williams each ran for a score for Texas Tech, but were limited on the ground.
Foster ran for 44 yards on 11 carries while Williams rushed seven times for 24
yards. After the game, Red Raiders head coach Tommy Tuberville pointed to the
lack of a rushing game as a critical factor in the outcome. Texas Tech trailed
just 24-13 at halftime, but its first two possessions of the second half
stalled and led to Oklahoma touchdowns. The team will try to get that
corrected before fifth-ranked West Virginia comes to town this weekend.
WEST VIRGINIA: Geno Smith threw four touchdown passes and Andrew Buie ran for
207 yards and a pair of scores, including the game-sealing TD with under two
minutes left, as fifth-ranked West Virginia earned a wild 48-45 win over No.
15 Texas. Smith finished 25-of-35 for 268 yards for the Mountaineers (5-0,
2-0 Big 12), who got three TD receptions from Stedman Bailey. Tavon Austin
caught 10 passes for 102 yards and a score. It wasn't quite the record-setting
performance from last week, when Smith set school marks with eye-popping
totals of 656 passing yards and eight touchdown throws in a 70-63 win over
Baylor. However, Smith said the Mountaineers knew they were going to have to
run the ball against the Longhorns and their relentless pass rush. The plan
worked, although the Mountaineers still found plenty of success through the
air. Smith now has 24 TD passes this season without an interception. WVU
boasts college football's top receiving tandem at the moment, as Tavon Austin
(58 rec, 662 yds, 8 TD) and Stedman Bailey (49 rec, 710 yds, 13 TD) are among
the national leaders in every receiving category. WVU plays at Texas Tech this

Yes, I have THREE of these. After I bought one, I liked it so much someone gave me another as a gift, and then I bought a spare just in case. I have used all three in rotation. I'm a physician who works for an organization that, like the Boy Scouts, prides itself on being prepared, so I tend to carry a lot of things around with me when I go anywhere. I use this vest on an almost daily basis and put a lot of things into it, so I was very pleasantly surprised when I discovered how tough it was. After a couple of years of heavy use, only now is one of the vests wearing at a corner of one of the lower front pockets, the ones that get the most use, and I'll have to repair it before it rips out. Because the vests are so light and have large areas of mesh on the back and sides, they are cool and breezy in hot weather. You can carry so much with these vests, so that they are extremely versatile and can be used in all sorts of situations. I often wear one under a flannel shirt or heavier outerwear when it gets cool. I've taken it on extended trips, it folds up small and packs well in a backpack if need be, and it's the only way to carry all the stuff you need when you travel overseas. If you carry your stuff right in all of its pockets (like all of your change, your cameral, wallet, etc., all you have to do when you get to airport security is take it off with everything in it and put it into one of the trays for xraying -- no need to empty out your pants pockets and sportcoat if everything's in the vest. After a hot day you can rinse out the perspiration in the neckline with warm soap and water, squeeze it out, roll it in a towel and let it finish drying even as you are wearing it. The neckline is the only part that collects sweat! One hazard is that you can carry so much with it that it can get quite heavy and start putting a strain on your shoulders, but that's a problem you can control. There are a few very shallow open pockets on the inside that aren't much good for anything other than carrying around a few 20 gauge shotgun cartridges, and there doesn't seem to be a dedicated pocket for a pen or two, but these are minor idiosyncrasies. Overall, it might seem a bit much for such a lightweight (but tough!) garment, but I've seen no other quite like it in terms of usefulness and well thought-out design, so in a very real sense, you get what you pay for!

From National Geographic:Thank you for sharing your comments. We regret that one vest was received with a defective zipper. Our records show that we received two orders from you a day apart. Customer service will be in touch shortly to discuss a solution that works best for you.
Perfect for my purposes
By Dog Walker
from San Jose, CA
I engage in a lot of activities with my dogs. My former perfect vest used for carrying treats, balls, fetch bumpers, water bottle, etc. finally got too worn to wear in public. It took a long time for me to find the perfect replacement, which this vest is. I will also say it is better looking than my former, now-retired vest. Pockets are deep, easy to access, and many. I've gotten lots of compliments on it from my dog training friends. I can carry all of the supplies I need for a nice long dog trek in those wonderful pockets.

THE LOW DOWN: Former tennis pro reveals sexual abuse by doubles Hall of Famer
Now, here's a sad story that began circulating around the Internet yesterday.
Heather Crowe Conner, a former tennis pro who, according to a story in the Newburyport News, "played numerous times at Wimbledon and the US Open" broke her silence last week about a secret she had been keeping for the last 35 years: She had been molested and raped by her tennis coach for 15 years.
This tennis coach was not just any old pro at her local club or park, though. Conner reveals he was "a Hall of Fame tennis star widely considered 'the best doubles player in the world' and someone who had won 'many Grand Slam tournaments.'" The tennis pro, who was married at the time, became her traveling coach in 1975 when she was 14-years old. She recalls the abuse beginning shortly after they began working together and continued into her adult years. Although she managed to have a successful tennis career for several years she believed it was "directly linked to her 'special' relationship with this man."
Last year, she took an extended medical leave of absence from her teaching position to undergo intensive therapy to deal with the abuse and its effects on her life. Conner made attempts to file criminal charges but the statute of limitations on the alleged abuse had expired and her abuser would need to be extradited from South Africa where he currently resides. Nevertheless, she has continued to work on healing herself and according to the article believes "speaking publicly about her experience is a step in her healing process." Let's hope, though the road to recovery will be long no doubt.
So, let's face the elephant in the room: Who's the person Conner has accused of the abuse? She doesn't say, of course, but there are enough clues in the article to go on including 36, his age in 1975 when they first met - he'd be either 71 or 72 now; he's a Hall of Famer and multiple Grand Slam winner in doubles; he was married at the time and now resides in South Africa.
Here's a list of Hall of Famers from the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum website. I think if you do some quick research you could probably figure it out.

4 comments:
I don't want to accuse anyone, but based on the information Ms. Crowe gave, Bob Hewitt fits. He is the correct age (born January 1940, making him 35 in 1975), a GS doubles champ, Hall of Famer and currently lives in South Africa.ReplyDelete
Hewitt's longtime doubles partner Frew McMillan, though also a South African and Hall of Fame member, is too young by several years to fit the description. I would guess Crowe specified the perpetrator's age to make clear it wasn't McMillan.)
(Hewitt was originally from Australia, but married a South African woman, settled there and played for their Davis Cup team.)
As I alluded to in the post, it won't take much research to figure out the likely person she alleges committed the abuse.ReplyDelete
For some reason I feel she dropped all of the clues so people would figure it out. She probably can't say the name since she couldn't prosecute or try to extradite him from S. Africa. I'm not a lawyer so this is all speculation and could be way off.
It's her way of getting some justice for what, again, allegedly happened - let the public know in not so many words.
- AnonymousSeptember 26, 2011 at 4:38 PM
I just watched Heather Crowe Connor with Emily Rooney WGBH Boston,Sept.26,'11, and it's clear this monster of a world class tennis player/perverted coach, safely tucked away in S. Africa, is THE perpetrator of her abuse so many yrs ago. Being a survivor myself, it takes years to admit the shame & guilt caused, and the effects on a marriage. Heather, we honor you for the courage to hold him accountable. Healing takes time and guts--HE only had temporary amnesia, and Heather tactfully burst that wide open. He can't hide anymore. You went from Victim to VicTOR. I anonymously called my perp over 20 yrs ago, in my 30's, and when he answered, I asked him if he was still abusing young girls. His response? "You've been after me a long time, haven't you?" My nightmares finally subsided, knowing I cornered HIM this time. I even warned his kids to keep the grandchildren away from him.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 27, 2011 at 7:17 AM
With power and fame, comes the feeling that nobody can say no to you. In fact, the offer of free coaching lessons is like a quid pro quo that made Mr Hewitt think - look how lucky she is to be with me.ReplyDelete

Dear Budget-Conscious:
The Creative Group recently released its 2012 Salary Guide, which features average starting salary ranges for more than 100 design and production, interactive, advertising and marketing, and public-relations positions. The information is based on a range of sources, including actual placements of creative professionals in 2011 by our staffing teams across North America, and an analysis of current and future hiring trends.
Overall, the numbers paint a fairly promising picture. Average starting salaries for creative professionals in Toronto are projected to increase 4 percent over 2011 levels. In the United States, salaries are expected to rise 3.5 percent. Graphic designers can expect to see even bigger increases this year, our research shows. Those with one to three years of experience can expect to make $45,000 to $58,000, a 4 percent increase over 2011 levels. Graphic designers with three to five years of experience should see a 4 percent starting salary increase as well, to a range of $55,000 to $74,000. And a graphic designer with more than five years of experience can expect to see a starting salary range of $70,000 to $92,500, a 4.8 percent increase.
Keep in mind that these salary ranges do not factor in bonuses, incentives and other forms of compensation, such as benefits and retirement packages, which can be difficult to measure. Also note that designers with interactive skills are faring even better given the strong demand for professionals who can help with online initiatives.
