Soon after upgrading to 2.20 my Playstation 3 will no longer output over HDMI and I have resorted back to using component cables. I like the output of HDMI over component.
However I got a warranty on my PS3 from Toys R Us. It's a one year warranty that will run out 11/17/2008. They no longer make the 60GB PS3's which is exactly what I want and in all honesty should recieve or I should be able to switch up to an 80GB model (maybe MGS4 edition ) since I spent $599 on the unit.
Anyone else have their PS3 suddenly stop outputting HDMI? What can be done about it?
Anyone else in my situation about having a faulty 60GB unit thats under warranty?

Wanna see more from big play WR
But I love any and all ISU victories. Happy to have one in the books to start the year.
Gotta get rid of all the stupid penalties and stupid decisions. Play smart!
Knott get the game ball (if they do something like that).
The cyclones have to be the most improved team in the nation next week against the Iowa Hawkeyes in order to have a chance to beat them.
Defense was better than I expected. Jake Knott is the new Jesse Smith. He is going to be great! I can't wait to get Sims back! Our DL has some improving to do, we need to get pressure on the QB!!
Our offense was great in the first half. We were moving the ball at will. AA cannot be throwing into triple coverage! WR's did great when they calmed down, especially Sed Johnson. Arob's 63 yard run was SWEET!!! Too bad he couldn't hit the century mark..
Special teams needs some work. We can't be missing field goals (i know it was the first of the season, but still) And our Punter needs to punt more than 18 yds...
Wayyyyy too many penalties!
Overall, we won!!!!!!!!! We are 1-0!!!
When Prepared, Fear No One.
Good to get a win. Now we have a few things to work on to get ready for the Squawks. Cut out the stupid penalties (illegal formation, punching opponents), make better decisions when throwing the ball, and keep up the good work moving the chains. Might have half a chance...
Can't have the D on the field an entire qtr next week...
Anyone know what song the team came out of the tunnel to?
"That's what I do. I drink, and I know things." - Tyrion Lannister
"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
We need to play mistake free next week. I will say this though the D played leaps and bounds better than they thought
Guys on Fox Sport just said that 7-8 wins could happen with AA and A-Rob on their games.

Lol, Stanzi? When did he play today? You think this kind of performance will hold up against the nonsense schedule we have this year? It's irresponsible to think that we played a flawless game today, because AA didn't, at all.

If Iowa loses their first game would you still say that? We have yet to see Iowa play this year so how can you compare? I'm not saying that Iowa will lose but it is foolishness to assume that ISU has to be the "most improved team in the nation" when no one really knows how Iowa is going to play this year.
It's a win and I'm happy. We looked pretty darn good in the first half but fell off for a while in the second half.
We need a four quarter great effort next week to have a shot. If we have stupid mistakes and penalties and are up and down, we'll be in trouble
ABC - Always Be Closing
Clones have to learn how to close......3rd qtr the D was on the field way to long.....can't do that next week...

|Kudos to school classified staff
|Written by Supt. Bret Miles, Holyoke School Dist. Re-1J
When people think of schools, two things immediately jump to mind: students and teachers. The core mission of our school district is to prepare students with the necessary skills to contribute to our democracy and to provide for themselves.
However, to make teaching and learning happen on a daily basis requires the efforts of many others. In fact, over 40 percent of the employees in our school district are not teachers. These hardworking individuals make up what we call our classified workforce.
The bus driver is the first interaction of the day for many of our students. This person is not only charged with getting our children to and from school safely, but also with setting a tone for the day. If the first interaction of the day is pleasant, welcoming and warm, we have drastically increased the likelihood that the student will be ready to learn an hour later when the first bell rings.
When students are hungry, they are not learning at their full potential. This research is very clear on this topic and was so compelling, that schools initiated breakfast programs. Our brains will not perform higher functions if basic needs are not being met.
Like the bus driver, the obligation for our cooks does not end there. They also get to contribute to the environment in which the students dine and have the opportunity to be yet another adult making sure our students get the message that we are glad they are in school today.
I don't think there is a teacher around who doesn't understand the impact good custodians make. When the room is clean there are fewer roadblocks to learning. The custodians take care of the flickering light bulb that is distracting, wipe the computer monitors clean, empty the trash and make sure the board is cleaned nightly and ready for teachers in the morning.
I know we all noticed the shiny floors, clean walls and sparkling building on back-to-school night.
There are also many classified employees who directly touch instruction. Commonly referred to as teacher aides, these individuals save teachers valuable time by making copies and cutting out shapes. But they do so much more.
Many of our classified staff members are teaching small reading groups and working one-on-one with students on all subjects. They are the critical link to lowering our teacher-to-student ratio, providing more opportunities for individualized attention.
Often, the first people parents get to know in our schools are the secretaries. They are the ones who check up on sick kids, get them off to the right place after school when plans change or even get our kids registered in the school. I know from personal experience that the warm reception of a secretary on the first encounter has a lasting impression on new students and their families.
There are many classified job categories and I won't try to highlight all of them. However, if the lawn gets mowed, computers stay connected, bills and people get paid, phone calls get returned, meetings get scheduled, papers get filed, water fountains get fixed and brakes get checked, then a classified staff member is to thank.
In recognition of their efforts, Holyoke School District Board of Education passed a resolution recognizing Oct. 11-17 as Classified Employees Appreciation Week.
Please join us in letting some of our classified employees know that you have noticed the work they do to make it possible for our students to learn each day.

OCALA – A man has been sentenced to two concurrent life sentences for molesting a young girl on at least five occasions.
Carl Starkweather, 29, was found guilty Friday by a six-member jury during a one-day trial, according to Assistant State Attorney Bryon Aven.
Starkweather was charged with capital sexual battery on a victim under 12, lewd and lascivious molestation on a victim under 12 and lewd and lascivious exhibition.
Starkweather reportedly told Marion County Sheriff's Office Detective Frank Scala that he had sexual contact with the victim on five occasions between 2008 and 2009, but denied having sexual intercourse with her, according to sheriff's arrest reports.
The girl, however, told investigators that on one occasion Starkweather came into her room wearing a condom and had sex with her, reports states.
The girl told a woman about the incidents and the woman contacted authorities.
Officials said the molestation began when the victim was 5 years of age.

Suggestions for Orion Sirius Repair?
Posted 30 June 2009 - 09:14 PM
I called Orion on Monday, got put on hold for about fifteen or twenty minutes before being told (by the automatic answering machine) to leave my contact information. No one has called back or replied by e-mail, yet.
I also fired off an e-mail to OPT Corp, with similar results. I'll try calling both of them again, tomorrow. But, in the meantime, any other suggestions?

Without powering it up and slewing, can't be sure. Don't want to do more damage by risking that.

How long have you had it ?
Has it ever hads any funnies before ?
Crucially how much have you used it ?
The reason for the last question is that if the worm engagement is off a bit you may have just been lucky in using it before and never hit the bit of the worm gear thats maybe a bit 'off'
Worm engagement can be swinish to adjust, its not hard but time consuming. End float adjustment is simple enough.
Oh - one other question - does it make the noise in RA or the DEC. The DEC motion is a lot easier to adjust.
If its in warranty I'd send it back. If out of warranty then I guess its either DiY or find someone friendly who has experience of the mount. They arent that hard to take to bits and adjust so long as your patient and have a small amount tool handling skill.
Posted 02 July 2009 - 01:28 AM
No, the mount is not covered by warranty. I bought it used, and was surprised to discover I've had it since September 2007--doesn't seem like it's been that long. Usually makes it out of the house once or twice a month, so it's gotten some use.
I'm going to kick myself if it's just a power issue. It was the second night of observing, but I don't think the first night's observing was long enough to wear down my car-jump battery. It's a big one--17 amp/hours. Also, when I plugged the battery for recharge this afternoon, the little push-button indicator said it was putting out 12.5 volts, which means the battery was down a bit but not that much.
The noise hit me on both DEC (during a slew) and RA (during just tracking, after I stopped trying to use goto on account of the noise and the stop in DEC slewing). Because it happened during tracking, I'm less inclined to think it was a weak power supply, but we'll see.
Boxed it up and sent it to Orion this afternoon. When I hear back from them, I'll update you all.

With both axis playing up it does sound more like power.
Posted 03 July 2009 - 11:00 AM
I wish the Orion tech had suggested this, too. I told him the same stuff I've posted here. For all the time I spent on hold, I could have hoped for something more helpful than the shipping address.

I suppose this could be true for other manufacturers. If so, this would mean that unless the potential repairer can and wishes to manufacture their own replacement parts, repairing mounts is not an option.
On the one hand, I'm probably going to feel pretty foolish if it was (as seems to be the prevailing wisdom) just a matter of a weak power source. But this means the "repair" will be quick and cheap. Just a matter of opening it up, maybe cleaning up the mount a little, then testing and shipping it back. I'll chalk this up to inexperience and an unplanned bit of regular maintenance on my mount.
Thanks for all the comments.

KNOW ALL - these are the wisest of the wise and can identify any star in a scecond. GoTo pfffft!!! they can pick out a star and align the crustiest of telescopes faster than a gunslinger. They are also able to reduce almost any astro kit to its constituent atoms and reassamble it in the dark. They tend to smoke pipes.
KNOW NOTHING - These are the rest of us. This includes people like me who have a good grasp of some aspects but are pretty clueless when it comes to other things. This group includes peope who can identify any star in the heavens but who struggle to connect a 12v power supply or the ones like me who can take almost anything mechanical to pieces but struggle to identify the moon. They tend to have smoke coming out their ears
THIRD GROUP FROM THE HOBBY - These are the peope who buy scopes from WalMart or ebay. They arent around long enough to buy much so arent included. Life Jim but not as WE known it
The problem with doing mount repairs is twofold. You only have a smallish target market because the KNOW ALL group above and half of the KNOW NOTHING group wont ever use your services. The part of the market that will use your services will expect them to be either free or VERY cheap. This is aggravated because the KNOW ALL group and the wannabe KNOW ALLS (like me) will offer to fix peoples broken stuff via email or by writing tutorials in the spirit of proliferating a non profiteering speard of know how.
To take my HEQ5 to bits and reasamble with great care, relube and tune the mount to perfect was the best part of 8 hours work. To put that on a paying basis look at the numbers......
Lets assume that every week I had 5x HEQ5 mounts to repair. Each one could potentially take 8 hours. That would be 5 days work. Assuming all the mounts could be repaired with no spares because the mounts had simple lube or adjustkment problems they would still cost a minimum of $220 to look at each mount. Why so expensive ?
Well I would need to make $4,400 a month to pay my rent, buy food, support a lifestyle etc ( I am in the UK ). That wouldnt be a lavish lifestyle that would pay me the same as I earn as a secretary in a government office.
Soooooo that works out at $1,100 per week - divided by 5 mounts = $220
That takes no account of increased tax on earnings, overheads for the business like tools, spares etc. And it assumes that every mount is the same, the reality is you would have to handle all Synta mounts as a minimum. That wouldnt be a business on those terms it would be a hobby.
To make money and make it worthwhile you'd have to lift those prices by at least 60% to take into account spares, cashflow etc. so now you'd be looking for customers with $352 to spend each time PLUS the cost of shipment which for a big mount like an HEQ5 could cost (in the UK) around $25 so the customer now has to spend $400 to get his mount looked at and that assumes he doesnt have to have any spares and that the problem is easily diagnosed. What happends when its something obscure like guide port jitter on wet Thursdays when theres an 'R' in the month.
About the only way to get spares for these things is buy new ones and take them to bits. Thats an expensive sparing operation. Rather like car dealer having to buy a whole Toyota coupe because he needs a spare front wishbone.
I dont think the market would bear it myself. If I thought for a second it would AND it was sustainable I'd pack up work tomorrow

Apparently, my big jump start battery does not hold a charge for as long as I thought it did.
Best new is, they're shipping it back to me, no charge. Thanks, Orion! And thanks to you Cloudy Nights folks for your insights (even if they did make me feel like a fool!).
Posted 10 July 2009 - 08:10 PM
Just got off the phone with the folks from Orion. The tech reports he took it apart, looked around, put it back together, ran it through some practice slews and could not replicate the problem. So it looks like the simplest explanation was correct--power. Oy!

That's good service from Orion. By comparison, I sent my CG5-ASGT mount to Celestron for them to correct a goto pointing error - under warranty. They received it June 1. I called today and they still haven't repaired it, but indicated I was "at the top of the list." So I've waited 6 weeks and still haven't received service, yet you've received service after just a week or so.
I'm strongly disinclined to buy any Celestron-branded product in the future. In the event there is a Synta product I want to buy then I will go with Orion over Celestron.
Posted 10 July 2009 - 09:51 PM
Assuming he got it off in the afternoon UPS (or FedEx--Don't know who they use) shipment, I'll probably get it within two weeks of when I sent it. With any luck, I won't even have missed a new moon weekend!
[I'm heading to a dark sky location next Saturday, and was pretty much figuring it would be just the lxd55 and the 8" SCT. The call from Orion kinda caught me off-guard--pleasant surprise, though!].

Item # SHI0152
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Cassettes in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano Dura-Ace CS-7900 Cassette $0.00
The Shimano Dura-Ace CS-7900 cassette provides you with a wealth of gearing options unlike any previous generation of Dura-Ace. You get an unprecedented 8 different ratios to choose from -- 11-21, 11-23, 11-25, 11-27, 11-28, 12-23, 12-25, and 12-27. The low 6 cogs are steel, and the high 4 cogs are made from titanium. Compared to the CS-7800 cassette, you get a weight savings of 10g (e.g. the 11-23 weighs 166g).
The backbone of the Dura-Ace CS-7900 cassette is its new aluminum carrier unit. Not only is it lighter than the CS-7800's, but it offers a measurable increase in rigidity for improved power transfer when you're putting the hammer down. In addition, Shimano did some re-engineering to the cog teeth profiles. They're fine-tuned to mate to the Dura-Ace CN-7900 chain -- giving you superior shifting on both up-shifts and down-shifts. You'll also experience added drivetrain efficiency since the inner plates of the CN-7900 precisely fit the cog teeth of the CS-7900 cassette. Lighter, stiffer, crisper -- you get improvements all around.
The Shimano Dura-Ace CS-7900 Cassette is compatible with the Dura-Ace RD-7900 rear derailleur and the RD-7800 rear derailleur except for 11-27 and 11-28 . The RD-7800 rear derailleur does not have ample chain wrap capacity to handle the CS-7900 in 11-27 and 11-28. These cassettes must be used with the RD-7900. The CS-7900 is optimized for the Dura-Ace CN-7900 chain, but it is compatible with the Dura-Ace CN-7801 chain.
Two brand-new ratios for Shimano with the Dura-Ace CS-7900 cassette are 11-25 and 11-28.
The 11-21 includes - 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21
The 11-23 includes - 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23
The 11-25 includes - 11,12,13,14,15,17,19,21,23,25
The 11-27 includes - 11,12,13,14,15,17,19,21,24,27
The 11-28 includes - 11,12,13,14,15,17,19,21,24,28
The 12-23 includes - 12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,23
The 12-25 includes - 12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,25
The 12-27 includes - 12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,24,27

What is the difference in the ratios for...
What is the difference in the ratios for the dura ace speed cassettes? What is the difference between the 11-25 vs 12-28? How do you know which one is right for you? I live in Florida which is primarily flat with some small hills and I compete in triathlons. I have purchased a set of Profile Design Altair 80 wheels and I want to put on a new cassette. All my components on my Scott Plasma 10 TT bike are Dura ace and I need a recommendation for the cassette.
11-27 is a good range
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have the 11-27 on my bike and it gives me a pretty good range for climbing using a compact crank. It is also amazing how light the cassette is. I have about 4000 km on it and it still looks good and is holding up well.

Shimano quality yet again. No issues here
The Dura Ace 7950 compact cranks are so...
The Dura Ace 7950 compact cranks are so expensive . . . anyone know if you can put the DA chainrings (50/34) on another crank (like a FSA carbon pro) that also has 110 BCD spacing?
I ask that because the rest of my gear train is all DA 7800
You could, but why? Save the trouble and money and go with ultegra.. or 105.. or any crankset that suits your needs.
I am getting ready to ride a very hilly...
I am getting ready to ride a very hilly century ride in northern Georgia called "the Six Gap". It has 11,000 feet of climb, just climbing over the six gaps, and doesn't count the mountains in between, which I am told adds another 6,000 feet of climbing.
I am riding a Sram Red compact, Dura Ace derailers(no spellcheck), and a Sram 12/28 cassette. Can I use a larger cassette like 12/30 with the components I have
yes, you shouldn't have a problem with going up to 30 tooth in the rear cassette with a Dura-Ace RD. With a compact crank you will have to be heading up some serious slope to really need it, unless you ride with Contador-style cadence on the climbs.
You should be good, no need to move up to 30. I rode with a 11/28 last year and did fine. The real climb starts at mile marker 3 on Hogpen Gap, which is mile 68 of the ride. See you out there...
Hi John, did the 30 tooth cassette fit your RD-7900? I have a 230km x 4200m ride with a long 15% pull at the 200km mark coming up shortly.
These cassettes have a great smooth feel to them just like the rest of the 7900 series drive train parts! Since they are so smooth together they are quite and seamless.
Is the Dura Ace CS 7900 or the Ultegra...
Is the Dura Ace CS 7900 or the Ultegra 6700 compatible with an 4 year old durace derrailer? No identifying marks on current derrailer, except the Dura Ace stamp.
You should be fine there, as long as it is 10 speed.
It is compatible if the derailleur is from before 2004 because before then Shimano was only making 9 speed.
Shimano not only improved by cutting down Ten grams, but also is the quietest cassette on the peloton
Got another question: What is a good...
Got another question: What is a good cassette gear size to use for a hilly type area? I live in Santa Barbara, CA; climbing and hills are a part of every ride. I'm 5'8" at 160 lbs.
That depends if you are using a compact crankset or a standard. If compact the 11-25 should be great, with a standard you may want to look at the 12-27.
Is the Dura-Ace cassette compatible with...
Is the Dura-Ace cassette compatible with the Shimano 105 gruppo?
Certainly is.
Really smooth cassette
I've been training and racing with the CS-7900 for two race seasons. I push all my equipment to the limit, and I did the same with this cassette. It's always smooth and precise, regardless the conditions or wear.
The best!
Great cassettes, the best you can buy. I think I've used a ten speed dura ace 11-23 cassette for 5 years on and off for training. Keep it clean and it will last for a long time, and still be lighter than what you had before.
Shimano Cassette
This cassette is light, Ive used this type of cassette on all my bikes for 5 years! I highly recommend it for anyone interested in using Shimano

When installing this on a Mavic 10 speed free hub, do you have to use the Mavic spacer AND the sapcer that comes with the cassette prior to putting the first cogs on the hub?
You may not have to use it but it doesn't hurt. I've been fine with using the just the Mavic spacer and no Shimano spacer on some Mavic wheels. Bottom line, if you install everything and get the lock-ring tightened up and the cogs don't have any side to side play, then you're good!

Does anyone know if the 11-27 and 11-28 are compatible with the SRAM Red rear derailleur?
The best answer you will get on this is "Probably" and until you see it don't believe it.
In reality they are several technical changes to the 7900 series so if you are running SRAM Red why wouldn't you just get the OG-1090 cassette in 11/28 size? It is just as light, lasts for more miles, and is cheaper than the CS-7900 cassette.

Hi,I'm building a 10-speed road bike for ALC8.And so far I've purchased the Ultegra Double Crank and Ultegra Shifters from you guys. Will this cassette be compatible? And What other parts should I get? Thanks in advance!
Yes this cassette is compatible, but it seems pricy for the mix of parts you are starting with. AN Ultegra would save you lots of $$.....which you could spend on lots of extra cleats for your pedals, or at least some cleat covers! As a 2 time mechanic for the ALC I've seen rides ruined by a lack of cleats. A couple spare tubes would be cool too.

Sperm passes from the testes to the penis in tubes called the vas deferens. A vasectomy is a surgery that blocks these tubes. This makes a man unable to make a woman pregnant.
The surgery is done to make you sterile. This means that you are unable to cause a pregnancy.
A vasectomy is done as permanent birth control. This option is for men who are sure they will not want to father a child in the future. There is a surgery to reverse a vasectomy. However, the reverse is not always successful.
If you are planning to have a vasectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications with you, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure. These include:
In the days leading up to your procedure:
Local anesthesia will be used. It will numb the area. You may also be given medication to help you relax.
There are three techniques for a vasectomy:
Conventional vasectomies take about 30 minutes. No-scalpel procedures take about 20 minutes.
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You can expect some soreness for a few days. Take pain medicines as directed by your doctor.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Most men feel fine to go back to work in a few days. They may also feel ready for sexual activity in about a week. Ejaculation may cause some discomfort in the groin and testicles until the tissues heal.
A vasectomy may not make you sterile right away. Tests will be done to look for any sperm in the semen. The tests may be done at your doctor's office or with a home test kit. These tests are done to make sure that the procedure was effective.
You will need to use another form of birth control until the tests show there is no sperm in your semen.
Although a vasectomy is very effective, it is not a 100% guarantee that you will never be able to make a woman pregnant.
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Near the eastern lunar limb during good librations, crater Hecataeaus (130 km) just beyond larger crater Humboldt (not in the sketch to the north) was the subject of this sketch. The few lunar features to the east from the earth were now in shadow as the Moon phase was beyond full and entering waning gibbous phase. The distant inner wall of the crater was showing terracing and craterlets while the floor was mostly hidden in shadow. To the west heavily lava flooded crater Balmer (116 km) with nearly half its walls run down and destroyed was bathing in full sunlight.

The AVID Ascend featuring T-speed rated sizes is Yokohama´s first mass-produced Standard Touring All-Season tire line in the United States using Yokohama´s Orange Oil technology and branded with their BluEarth eco-friendly identification. Developed for the drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans and crossover vehicles, the AVID Ascend is designed to blend long tread wear, low rolling resistance and all-season traction, even in light snow. Yokohama BluEarth branding is used to identify an ecologically friendly series of tires that are designed to deliver environmentally, human and socially friendly solutions for drivers and their vehicles. Orange Oil technology uses oil extracted from renewable orange peels to improve the molecular bond between natural and synthetic rubber to enhance tire tread life, vehicle fuel efficiency and traction in all seasons.
The AVID Ascend features a mildly asymmetric tread design consisting of three ride zones that focus on dry grip, water evacuation and wintertime traction.Large outboard shoulder blocks are connected by tread block bridges to maintain tire contact with the road that helps enhance dry response and cornering stability.The continuous center rib provides constant rubber-to-road contact to enhance straight-line tracking while its tapered outboard edge promotes more-even wear.Cross grooves and four circumferential grooves help evacuate water from under the tread to increase hydroplaning resistance and promote wet traction.Yokohama´s 3D Adaptive Sipes provide more tread block rigidity for longer wear, while their biting edges increase wet and wintertime traction.Inboard tread blocks feature higher density 3D Adaptive Sipes to provide additional biting edges that increase winter traction in light snow.The tire´s internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon on top of polyester body plies.
The ware out to fast and slide very easy with little rain.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Richard Kim, the owner of Town Square Market in Northwest Washington D.C., will face an ABRA (Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration) hearing/trial on July 25th, reports 9News Now's Andrea McCarren. We learned that Kim and ANC couldn't reach resolution.
In May, a D.C. Superior Court judge found Richard Kim guilty of selling alcohol to a minor. Judge Elizabeth Wingo said Kim "should have known this was an underage person" and should not have sold beer and vodka to the teenager in February.
A 17-year-old high school junior from McLean, Virginia testified that on February 18th, he bought 30 containers of beer and a bottle of blueberry vodka at Town Square Market. The teen said he used an expired Pennsylvania driver's license belonging to a 22-year-old acquaintance whose photo was on the ID. Minutes later, police arrested the teenager along with store owner Kim.
Andrea McCarren will have more information on the ABRA hearing tonight at 5 p.m.

Yesterday, GamePolitics reported that an unemployed immigrant mother of two was ordered by a British court to pay £16,086 (roughly $30,000) to Topware Interactive for uploading its pinball game to a file-sharing network.
Things are about to get much worse.
Today's Times Online reports that Topware's case against Isabella Barwinska may only have been the tip of the iceberg. According to the Times, a quintet of U.K. publishers are targeting those who share PC games. Calling the action an "unprecedented assault on illegal downloads," the Times names Topware, Atari, Reality Pump, Techland and Codemasters as the firms involved. The report says the companies plan to notify 25,000 U.K. consumers that they must pay £300 to settle file-sharing accusations. Otherwise, they risk a ruinous court judgment of the type lodged against Barwinska.
From the Times:
It is estimated that as many as six million people in Britain share games illegally over the internet. The aggressive action marks a dramatic change in the approach to copyright on the internet. The British music industry, hit hard by illegal file-sharing, has taken action against just 150 people in ten years…
The move has provoked strong criticism within the games industry. A source close to the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association said that most publishers would be reluctant to bring legal actions against their "core market" and would be likely to look for other ways to minimise losses due to piracy.
A lawyer for the five publishers commented:
Our clients were incensed by the level of illegal downloading. In the first 14 days since Topware Interactive released Dream Pinball 3D it sold 800 legitimate copies but was illegally downloaded 12,000 times. Hopefully people will think twice if they risk being taken to court.

No. 14 Iowa State Defeats Boise State, 70-66
More from Cyclones.tv
The Cyclones did not lead or have a tie during the entire first half and finally got in front at the 13:45 mark of the second half on a Melvin Ejim put back. Despite never having a lead of more than six points, Iowa State was able to hold on to the lead for the rest of the game via some clutch baskets from DeAndre Kane and free throws with Boise State fouling to get back into the game.
Keys to the Game
Iowa State, down seven at the half, got on a 5-0 run to immediately put the pressure on Boise State. The Broncos were able to resist for a little bit before turning it over on a carry. Iowa State went down the court and saw DeAndre Kane drain a 14-foot jumper and get fouled to reduce BSU's lead to one point. Looking for ISU's first tie since it was 0-0, Kane missed the free throw, but Melvin Ejim was on the double to get the rebound and the put back and give Iowa State its first lead of the game at 44-43 with 13:45 to go in the game.
The Cyclones held onto the lead, but through the next eight minutes of game play, Iowa State was only able to get a lead as large as four points before Georges Niang went to the line and converted a pair of free throws to give the Cyclones their first five-point lead of the game at 58-53.
The Broncos would not go away as they rode the efforts of Derrick Marks, who scored his 20th point of the game with a 3-pointer to tie the game at 60-60 with 4:11 left. Dustin Hogue made a free throw to restore Iowa State's lead at 61-60, which was followed by a Boise State turnover. Iowa State added to its lead as Kane put away a free throw to give ISU a two-point advantage. Boise was unable to tie or re-take the lead which opened the door for Kane to hit a big 3-pointer, his fourth of the game, to put Iowa State ahead 65-60.
Boise State needed to foul get back into the game, but Iowa State showed its mental toughness at the free throw line by converting 13 of its final 16 free throw attempts.

Cyclone Game Ball Goes to…
DeAndre Kane. When Iowa State has struggled in the first half this season, there has always been someone who stood out and helped keep the Cyclones in contact while the rest of his teammates found his way into the game.
Today that role was played by Kane, who recorded 10 points in the first half. With ISU struggling from 3-point range it was Kane, who had only made multiple 3-pointers in a game once this season, which broke the slump by making two 3-pointers late in the first half.
Kane made the big shot of the game with Iowa State up 62-60 as he hit a deep 3-pointer to give ISU a 65-60 advantage.
The senior finished the game with a season-high 23 points on 8-of-14 shooting, 4-of-6 from 3-point range. Kane also contributed five rebounds and two assists.

text: By Christy SheetsSports Writer On Tuesday night, Dec. 18 the Lady Cats played host to the Medicine Valley Raiders. In the first quarter it was clear that the Ladies were ready to battle, but Med. Valley, possibly wanting revenge for a late season volleyball loss, outscored the Lady Cats by seven in the first quarter, 9 to 16. The second quarter was a battle of the defenses, neither team scored many points, and both teams were plagued by turnovers. As the Lady Cats headed into the locker room at the half, they trailed 12 to 21. The third quarter saw the Wildcats with determination, but the Raiders were relentless. As the buzzer sounded at the end of the third quarter, the Raiders were ahead 22 to 33. In the fourth quarter the Wildcats tried to build some momentum, and were within four points late in the fourth quarter. The Lady Cats outscored the Raiders by four, but time and possession was their enemy. The game ended with the Wildcats falling short 40 to 47. Offensively, senior Chelsea Sowle led the Cats with 15 points (one free throw), followed by sophomore Christina Daniels with 12 points (one free throw and one from the field). Junior Sara Hubbard had eight points, junior Alexandria Lundvall had three points (one from the field), and senior Katelyn Melton had two points. Leading the team with offensive rebounds were Sowle (three), Lundvall (two), and Melton (one).

Defensively, Hubbard led the Cats with two rebounds and five steals, followed by Melton with four rebounds and two steals.

Welker gone. Amendola in.
If this were the END of free agency...well, I'd be very unhappy. But it isn't. It's the beginning.
I assume the Pats will spend to the cap, as they often do. That being said...maybe Talib comes back. Maybe Jennings gets added. Perhaps someone like Abraham.
Immediately...I'm not one bit happy Welker is gone for incrementally more money than they gave a far less proven wr. Then I remember, Welker was once Amendola...maybe Amendola stays healthy, and he'll be a decent replacement. More importantly, maybe Gronk and Hernandez actually stay healthy, together, for a whole season.
It hard to accept as the "sexy" free agents go fast and furious...but let's give it a little time.
We won't really know the impact of all of this until january anyway.

Newark, DE (Sports Network) - The University of Delaware named Rutgers
offensive coordinator Dave Brock as its new head football coach during an on-
campus news conference Friday.
It is the 45-year-old Brock's first time as a collegiate head coach. He
replaces K.C. Keeler, who was fired on Jan. 7 following his 11th season with
the Blue Hens.
Unlike Keeler and his predecessor, legendary Delaware coach Tubby Raymond
(1966-2001), Brock is not a former Blue Hens player or assistant coach. He
coached against the Blue Hens as a member of their former conference rival,
Hofstra, in 1995 and from 1997-2001.
The native of Moorestown, N.J., has spent 11 years on the FBS level, including
stints at Temple, North Carolina, Kansas State and Boston College before his
one season at Rutgers last year, when the Scarlet Knights finished 9-4.
Brock, who played collegiately at Ferrum (Va.) College and graduated from
Salisbury (Md.), was on the Boston College staff from 2009-11 while new
Delaware athletic director Eric Ziady was an assistant athletic director.
Keeler compiled an 88-52 record at Delaware, including 5-6 in his final season.
He led the Blue Hens to the 2003 FCS (then NCAA Division I-AA) national title
as well as appearances in the 2007 and 2010 national championship games.

Rockville Centre letters to the editor
(Page 2 of 3)
On a recent trip to a local mall, I was upset to see yet another puppy store.
It is very important that people stop buying puppies from pet stores. According to the ASPCA and the Humane Society, almost all puppies that are sold over the Internet or in pet stores come from puppy mills. This particular store claims that its puppies come from "certified USDA licensed dealers," but I recently discovered that the USDA has about 70 inspectors to deal with thousands of breeding facilities, the regulations are lax and when fines are imposed, they're often negotiated down and don't make any impact.
A puppy from a USDA-licensed facility just gives the customer a false sense that the puppy is from a "good place," when in reality, most of these places would break your heart. I also learned that the American Kennel Club emblem that pet stores display is meaningless. It simply shows that the AKC is aware that these dogs exist.
I encourage anyone looking for a dog to consider adopting from a local shelter, such as the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, Rescue Ink in Long Beach, the North Shore Animal League or one of the many others in our area. If you're looking for a particular breed, check out www.petfinder.org.
Another option is to contact a breed-specific rescue organization. A relative of mine got a great wheaten terrier from a rescue group a few years ago. It was fully trained and turned into an amazing family pet.
For personal reasons, our family opted to deal with a breeder a few years ago. We got a beautiful, healthy, black cocker spaniel. We paid less than we would have at a pet store. We got to meet the breeder, our pup's little siblings and, most important, her healthy, well-cared-for parents. The breeder wanted to meet us. We were interviewed by the breeder and were told that if we ever needed to give our pup up, she would take her back.

Ocean shipping: Global Port Tracker shows growth but at a lower rate
August 04, 2011
Stalled economic momentum in Europe, coupled with a slowdown in Asian exports, were the main theme of the monthly Port Tracker report from Hackett Associates and the Bremen Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics.
Ports surveyed in this report include the six major container reports in North Europe: le Havre, Antwerp, Zeebrugge, Rotterdam, Bremen/Bremerhaven, and Hamburg.
According to the Global Port Tracker Report, there were 1.99 million TEU (Twenty-foot equivalent units) imports and 1.44 million TEU exports from Europe for 1.5 percent and 1.9 percent gains, respectively in May from April. And total container volumes across the surveyed ports in May are estimated to have increased by 5.6 percent from April to 3.48 million TEU for a 9.2 percent annual increase.
Looking ahead to the third and fourth quarters, the report is calling for increases of 2.4 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively for incoming volumes, with outgoing volumes being pegged to increase 1.6 percent and 0.1 percent, respectively. And for all six ports, imports and exports are projected to increase more than 9 percent in 2011, which is down from the 12.6 percent uptick in 2010.
Incoming and outgoing volumes are both expected to post annual gains in the next four quarters.
While growth is still modestly occurring, the report explained that import and export deep sea container volumes across Europe are down from a March 2011 high.
The reasons for this vary, but troubled economies in Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland that are forcing these nations to adjust their fiscal policies, as well as diminished consumer confidence, are playing large roles.
"The weakness in imports and exports is going to lead to sharply reduced growth in the second half of the year," said Ben Hackett, president of Hackett Associates. "We will still see positive numbers, though, but not in line with what we expected three months ago. Most of that is due to the total collapse of consumer confidence, with the Euro crisis and unemployment."
Mismanagement of federal fiscal affairs in Europe is a major concern for consumers, said Hackett, and is leading the Global Port Tracker Report to reduce future projections, said Hackett.
Part of that is due to lower export numbers coming out of Asia which will lead to lower TEU numbers in Europe in the subsequent months.
This sluggish growth is likely to lead to a more "muted" Peak Season, too, according to Hackett. He added that this will also be reflected through a sharp decline in freight rates in conjunction with lower volumes.

May 30, 2016
Two lawmakers want Mississippi to block some current and future federal laws.
Mississippi state representatives Gary Chism and Jeff Smith have filed a bill to form the Joint Legislative Committee on the Neutralization of Federal Laws.
Chism said Thursday that the measure is a response to President Barack Obama's federal health care overhaul and his proposals to curb gun violence.
A House chairman says the bill could get debate.
But Mississippi College constitutional law professor Matt Steffey says the bill's a waste of time because federal law always trumps state law.
Gov. Phil Bryant last week asked legislators to block enforcement of "any unconstitutional order" from Obama about guns.

|School grading policy changes are reviewed
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Several proposed changes for 2013-14 to the Holyoke School District grading policy and Academic Opportunity Center were reviewed at the May 21 meeting of the Board of Education.
Two years ago a pilot program was created that required students to correct all assignments and to stay each day until they were complete. The Academic Opportunity Center was created for a support system for students who didn't meet the expectation on work the first time.
For the 2012-13 school year, the pilot program became policy, and the grading scale was adjusted to A, B, C and Incomplete.
For 2013-14, the primary proposed change notes that unit assessments will be given only one time at the JR/SR High. Students will not have the opportunity to correct tests.
There are some slight changes to eligibility for grades 7-12. These are part of the student handbook and will be communicated with students and families through the handbook.
Currently, the grading policy is for grades 4-12, but starting next school year, it will include third-graders. Due to the departmentalization of the elementary school, the third-grade classes will be using the A, B, C, I grading format rather than the standards-based report card in order to be consistent among the teachers who teach both grades.
Board members voiced support for the proposed grading policy changes, which will be on the June 11 meeting agenda for approval.
Elementary Principal Kyle Stump explained the departmentalization that is planned in grades 3-6 for next year. All eight teachers for those grades will teach reading, then each will become a core teacher for one subject.
In the third- and fourth-grade departmentalization, John Baumgartner will teach math; Lynn Schneider, writing; Nicole Churchwell, science, spelling and handwriting; and Kimberlee Bennett, social studies and grammar.
In the fifth and sixth grades, Andrea Kammer will teach math to all students; Crystal Rigel, writing; Theresa Tharp, social studies, language and spelling; and Natalie Krogmeier, science.
Stumpf shared the advantages he sees in having staff members handling instruction in areas where their strengths lie.
2 new teachers hired
Josh Rahe was hired for the JR/SR High English position for 2013-14 and Cynthia Bahler for a kindergarten position.
Rahe, an HHS graduate, has 13 years experience teaching language arts, mostly at the junior high level. He taught most recently in Calhan and Byers and also has coaching experience in football and girls' basketball.
Bahler had six years teaching experience in the first grade before spending the last 13 years with the educational service unit as a behavior impaired classroom teacher, behavior consultant and a language resource teacher/speech language pathologist. She lives in Imperial, Neb., with her husband and children.
Preliminary budget details explained
Superintendent Bret Miles explained the preliminary budget draft, which was based on budget parameters adopted earlier in May.
He said the 2013-14 budget is recommended to be built using a student count of 575.8, with a decrease of 10 pupils from the 2012-13 budget.
After detailed discussion, board members expressed support for using $200,000 out of the reserve. However, they did ask Miles to prepare an additional scenario that reduces the amount of fund balance used as revenue by also reducing the capital projects.
This can be considered due to the large amount of work being done through the construction fund and the mill levy override money.
The preliminary budget includes additional kindergarten, first- and second-grade teachers to go to three sections in each grade level. It also brings back a second elementary special education teacher.
Also considered for addition are another ESL teacher, summer school, after-school reading program and mentoring program.
Transportation needs found Miles recommending the purchase of a 12-passenger van.
Miles' budget presentation included three strategic advantages of the district as identified by the standard of excellence team.
They include the best technology in northeast Colorado, the best place in northeast Colorado to learn English and the wide variety of opportunities for students.
Teacher evaluation instrument finalized
Miles presented the final draft of the teacher evaluation instrument recommended by the leadership team and endorsed by the district accountability committee.
The 24-page instrument is the state model evaluation system for teachers. It contains five teacher standards with a total of 27 elements. Elements are the specific descriptions of what is expected of teachers in the district.
The evaluation instrument will be weighted by element, making each element approximately 3.7 percent of the instrument.
All staff will receive an email with the draft policy exhibits in the coming weeks and will go through a full training in August.
Students present class project
Sophomores Jack Gorwitz and Destiny Lohman gave a presentation on their big buddies project for Karen Pieper's 21st Century Skills class.
The program met the requirements of postsecondary workforce readiness, which was a focus of the class.
Gorwitz and Lohman detailed their involvement with first- and second-grade students, highlighting activities they coordinated for a big buddy program.
Their information was detailed and clear, and they received high marks for both the project, as well as their presentation to the board.
Other business
In other business at the May 21 meeting, the Re-1J board:
—rescheduled the next board meeting for Tuesday, June 11 at 8 p.m. instead of Tuesday, June 4.
—increased meal prices by 10 cents for the 2013-14 school year, as required to continue participation with the federal lunch program.
Breakfast prices for 2013-14 will be $1.45; elementary lunch, $1.95; and middle school and high school lunch, $2.20.
—aproved a $250 donation to Safe2Tell.
—held a 40-minute executive session at the close of the meeting for an informal superintendent evaluation conference.

New "CD" release today.
it's nasty as hell
Self proclaimed 2012 CF Newcomer of the Year
I have no idea what that means.
haha it's very good, i like it more than Sigh No More
The Video to "I Will Wait" on YouTube is pretty cool as it was recorded at RedRocks.
Excited to hear it. These guys are the real deal, but the lead singer should lose the Chester Molester mustache he was rocking on SNL.
Absolutely awesome album. They can do no wrong.
Saw them in KC, awesome show.
Awesome CD. Glad their sound stayed much the same as on Sigh No More. The new Avett Brothers CD was highly disappointing.
So is it not a CD release? I'm confused.
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.

Got to see them live about a month ago and they were amazing. I gave the new CD a listen today and it's good, but I don't think its as good as Sigh No More.
I'm liking "Below My Feet" more than "I Will Wait". I bet that's the second single.
I haven't listened to it yet, but is it worth buying? I don't have Sigh No More.

I have been given a reasonable amount of compliments on my photo-realistic style and decided to write a tutorial on how to execute it. As I begin brainstorming and developping the idea the more I realized roofing is very detailed and a lot more comprehensive then I first knew. Therefore, I'm expanding it to more then simple roof shapes since in an overhead view of a building can indicate much more about the internal shape and use. I'm going to make a comprehensive guide to over head view of buildings and open the floor to debate as I progress. This will be a long project so have patience with the progress. I'm still in the R&D stage and with further ado the first of what I've written up.
Making photo-realistic overhead buildings in GIMP
Tutorial created by Julien Johnson for the Cartographer's Guild (http://www.cartographersguild.com)
This tutorial has for purpose to create photo-realistic buildings and houses to be used in encounter styled maps and small scaled towns. Following these steps exactly will create buildings appropriate for use in 100 px = 1 inch = 5 feet square grid maps per my style. Of course through use of different textures and scaling the steps appropriately you can accommodate any scale of map. The following tutorial heavily makes use of bump mapping, layer modes and layer masking. If you encounter issues with these functions refer to the GIMP manual sections linked hereafter. (Bump Mapping, Layer Modes and Layer Masking) For demonstration purposes, I will be using images with a resolution of 100ppi which already have base textures added. Additionally, the textures used within this tutorial will be available to download within the thread containing this tutorial and linked as the project is completed.
Note: This tutorial is a WIP (Work In Progress) status, will be worked on over time and will be reassembled in PDF upon completion and posted in the tutorial section with editing appropriate to a final product.
