Haier swings ibiza touch, mini players in US
Haier tonight added two more players to the Rhapsody ibiza line that both share direct parallels to Apple players. The ibiza Touch (pictured above) appears a higher-end counterpart to the ibiza Theatre that adds a sharper, 2.8-inch 400x240 touchscreen and Wi-Fi, which lets it browse the web, download podcasts and Real Rhapsody subscriptions, and tune Internet radio. It shares the Theatre's Bluetooth for pairing wireless headphones. Battery life drops accordingly and sees the Touch run for just 15 hours of AAC, Audible, MP3, Rhapsody or WMA audio but a relatively long 6 hours of DivX, H.264, MPEG-4, VC-1 or WMA video.

Lu will direct the software giant's online search and advertising projects relating to Windows Live.
'Bring Back Steve Jobs' flyers frustrate Apple
The man behind "Bring Back Steve Jobs" flyers at last week's Macworld Expo says the stunt was not meant as a slam against Apple. Gleb Budman and his colleagues were told by Apple representatives to stop handing out flyers to Expo attendees lined up for Apple's keynote on Tuesday morning. Budman says the message was meant as a "compliment" to Steve Jobs -- and a plea for Apple to reverse its decision to abandon the Expo after this year.
Apple looking to merge calendar, maps on iPhone?
Apple may be looking to merge the mapping and calendar functions of iPhones, a newly-published patent application suggests. At present, iPhone owners looking to find their way to an event marked in their calendar must memorize any addresses and look them up manually within Google Maps. Under the proposed scheme, any addresses associated within an event could be viewable from a quickly-referenced map.
Seagate Barracuda drives failing en masse?
A chronic firmware problem is triggering failures in Seagate's current-generation Barracuda 7200.11 hard drives, according to owners in the company's forums, NewEgg buyers and elsewhere. The disk series, particularly the 1TB model, reportedly suffers from a bug triggered on boot that incorrectly locks up the drive as a protective measure and prevents the system from recognizing the storage from then onwards. The problem appears tied to firmware from drives issued in Thailand but isn't exclusive to models from those factories.
New York court throws out Amazon lawsuit on tax law
Amazon's lawsuit against a state of New York law that has online retailers having to collect taxes from residents of a state despite not having a physical office or base in the state has been thrown out of court by a judge on Monday. The law, passed in April and called the Commission-Agent Provision, names any affiliate linking to Amazon or any other online retailer that is responsible for more than $10,000 in sales as a part of Amazon or any online retailer in question and thereby entitles the state to collect taxes on the sales. Now, short of a successful trial in the Court of Appeals, Amazon and other online retailers will be forced to collect and pay taxes from every sale to a New York resident, which could set a likely damaging precedent to online sales.
Gateway's LT1004U netbook available at Office Depot
The Gateway LT1004U netbook is now available at certain Office Depot locations in the US, without any sort of announcement from the PC maker itself, according to a Tuesday Engadget report.

AWS-ready Motorola handset shows up at FCC
Recently discovered FCC filings suggest a new Motorola handset will soon be shipping. The FCC documents reveal the unnamed clamshell will be offered in both a dual-band CDMA version as well as a tri-band CDMA handset with support for the 1,700MHz AWS band used by carriers MetroPCS and Cricket.
AFP rendering Mac servers unusable
Problems with Mac OS X Server are causing some corporate networks to come to a crawl, complaints from network administrators indicate. The problem is believed to stem specifically from Apple File Protocol, as used by Mac OS X Leopard Server; whereas Leopard typically consumes only a portion of the CPU power on an Xserve, some administrators have noticed quad- and eight-core Xserves becoming non-functional due to AFP activity. CPU burden can become as bad as 800 percent, according to one complaint.
Slacker Radio app offers free stations on iPhone
Slacker has released the latest version of its Slacker Radio service as an app for the iPhone and iPod touch.

WD to launch 2TB hard drive this week
Western Digital is on the verge of launching a record-setting hard drive, according to a tip sent to Fudzilla. Corroborated by a store listing, the leak hints at a Caviar Green model, the WD20EADS, that should top 2TB using and double the capacity of the drive maker's current line. The Green label will be earned through a power-efficient design that winds down to 5,400RPM from the normal 7,200RPM under lower demand.
LEGO to offer digital camera, MP3 player, more
Kids will soon be able to play with LEGO-branded electronics, as the European blocks toymaker has recently entered into a licensing agreement with Digital Blue, which already makes Disney- and Batman-branded electronics.

The company claims that the housing can withstand fire temperatures up to 1550 degrees Fahrenheit and flood protection down to a 10 foot depth for three days. Along with the drive, customers will also receive up to $1000 toward third-party forensic drive data recovery services that can be used if the devices sustain enough damage to prevent direct access to information by standard means.
Cisco readying 320Mbps cable modem with VoIP
Network hardware producer Cisco hopes to up-end the home Internet business with word that the company is developing a 320Mbps cable modem. The DPC3212 is one of the first cable modems using the DOCSIS 3.0 standard to crack the 300Mbps mark and does so through a new Broadcom chip that bonds eight cable channels together instead of four to reach the peak speed.
Citi lowers price target on Apple stock
Citi's research arm has adopted a more pessimistic view on Apple's prospects, the Associated Press reports. A key analyst at Citi, Richard Gardner, has lowered his price target for Apple stock from $153 to $132, and also reduced earnings predictions for 2009, 2010 and 2011. Gardner is further pessimistic about iPhone shipments for the fourth quarter of 2008, which he suggests will slip below 4 million. By contrast, the third quarter produced 6.9 million in shipments.
iPhone apps: Zephyr, ShiveringKittens, Light
Zephyr ($1) allows users to express thoughts by writing or drawing on a snow covered screen. The application senses each touch and tilt to supplement each message with a wind sound. Gentle writing might be accompanied by the sound of a lightly blowing breeze while more quickly drawn designs might generate the sound of blustery winds.
LG VX8360 tips up on Verizon
Verizon on Tuesday held a quiet introduction for the LG VX8360. The flip phone sits in the carrier's lineup as an entry- to mid-range music phone and has music controls on its outer face for pausing and skipping tracks; it also comes with microSDHC support for cards up to 8GB and stereo speakers to play its AAC or MP3 music. Verizon expectedly gives the phone support for V CAST music downloads that include Rhapsody subscriptions.
Olidata launches MacBook Air-like notebooks
Italian PC and TV maker Olidata has introduced a new line of ultra-thin notebooks at CES meant as an alternative to the MacBook Air. The U-Leader Design brand includes two notebooks, both of which were designed in partnership with Intel, and shares many design cues and hardware specs with the thin Apple notebook. The Olidata Conte weighs about 3.5lbs and measures less than 0.9 inches at its thickest point. Both versions of the new notebook will sport the same Intel Core 2 Duo S chip as the MacBook Air, though it's not clear whether the 1.6GHz, the 1.86GHz or both will be offered.
Seagate readies high-end Cheetah hard drives
Storage builder Seagate has announced two new hard drives, the Cheetah 15K.7 and NS.2. The drives are intended explicitly for enterprise storage, but come in the more conventional 3.5-inch format instead of the 2.5-inch size used by many corporations. The 15K.7 is claimed to be the fastest 3.5-inch enterprise drive, rated at 15,000rpm with a seek time of 3.4ms. The drive can also be connectied through 6Gbps SAS 2.0 or 4Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces.
Internal touchscreen for 24" LED Apple Cinema Display
California developer Troll Touch has announced the availability of its internally integrated touchscreen system for Apple�s recently released 24-inch LED Cinema display. Already available for Apple's 20- and 30-inch Cinema displays, the product joins the company�s lineup of high-resolution, analog resistive touchscreen systems which support user input via fingertip, gloved hand or stylus. Powered via an internal USB connection, Troll Touch says that its custom touchscreen overlay design and innovative component integration technique does not alter the machine�s form factor in any way. To the casual observer, the system does not appear to have been modified.
Lenovo rolls quad-core and Atom-based IdeaCentres
Lenovo on Tuesday introduced three new desktops, including its first-ever nettop. At the high end, the IdeaCentre K220 and K230 are both upgrades to the older K210 and add options for faster Core 2 Quad chips as well more storage headroom (up to 1TB), Blu-ray and GeForce 9300M GE integrated video capable of full HD decoding. The PC builder makes each model a trade-off with the K220 having an optional webcam with face recognition but a maximum 4GB of memory; the K230 drops the webcam choice but handles up to 8GB of memory.
Apple to hold 40 percent of smartphone market?
Apple may occupy an extremely large portion of the global smartphone market if current trends continue, says Generator Research. The firm claims that by 2013 Apple may hold as much as 40 percent of the market, a figure which would necessarily come at the expense of other cellphone makers like Nokia. Although currently one of the largest smartphone producers, it is thought that Nokia may suffer most, dropping from 40 to 20 percent.
Sprint intros pink Instinct, price drop to $100
Sprint on Tuesday announced the release of the Samsung Instinct in pink, accompanying it with a $30 price drop to $100 for both this and the original black model. The price drop is offered for a limited but unspecified time with a two-year contract and with a $100 mail-in rebate.
Next FCC head may be net neutrality advocate
The replacement for current FCC chairman Kevin Martin may be one of the most public advocates of net neutrality, according to separate tips sent to the Wall Street Journal as well as the Washington Post. Those near President-elect Obama's transition team and lawmakers in the US capital reportedly say Obama has chosen venture capitalist, former FCC worker and presidential campaign adviser Julius Genachowski to serve as chairman for the government regulator.
Adobe updates Flash Media Server to 3.5
Adobe has released v3.5 of its two main Flash server products, Flash Media Interactive Server and Flash Media Streaming Server. The pair function as a backbone for supplying Flash content to a wide audience; Interactive Server concentrates on tasks such as gaming and VoIP/webcam chat, while Streaming Server is intended simply for broadcasting live or pre-recorded Flash video. Both titles have been improved with dynamic streaming, which encodes video in variable bit rates to ensure smoother playback.
BlueAnt intros flagship Q1 Bluetooth headset
BlueAnt at CES introduced its newest Bluetooth headset, the Q1, or what it calls a mix between the existing Z9 and V1. This means users get dual microphones for noise reduction, and the company claims it can cancel out direct 10mph winds. Like the V1, users can control the headset with their voice using the BlueGenie Natural Voice Interface, capable of adjusting volume up and down just by saying "volume up" or "volume down."

Dell said nearing smartphone launch
Dell is getting closer to releasing its long-rumored first smartphone, according to a research note by Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu. Investigations within Dell's supply chain point reportedly indicate that a Dell smartphone is "closer to reality" after roughly two years of discussions with those companies that might offer parts for the device. No specific launch window has been set.
Safari RSS vulnerability affects Mac, Windows users
A vulnerability in both the Mac and Windows versions of Safari may present serious privacy concerns, says coder Brian Mastenbrook. The problem, said to have been confirmed by Apple, is specifically related to the application's built-in RSS reader, which may be exploitable to read the contents of a person's hard drive. The exploit is triggerable by visiting a malicious website, and could in theory allow access to items like e-mail and passwords.
DisplayPort 1.2 to carry 3D, mini port
Display standards group VESA has revealed early details of DisplayPort 1.2, the next generation of its interface for computer screens. The technology doubles the amount of available bandwidth and lets the format produce images better than either the current 1.1 standard or dual-link DVI. At a minimum, the technology would allow a near-4K resolution of 3840x2160 at 60 frames per second and more advanced 30-bit color; the current specification is limited to 2560x1600 at the same quality.
REALbasic plug-ins expand for version 9.0
Monkeybread has released an update to its REALbasic plug-ins, which have finally reached v9.0. The plug-ins expand the basic functionality of the development platform with new classes and functions; v9.0 ads the PNGWriterMBS and PNGReaderMBS classes, for instance, and the CURLMBS.LoadLibraryData function. Other items new to the update -- which concentrates on graphics -- include CIImageMBS.RenderNSImage, more PictureMBS methods, and TiffPictureMBS.ReadRGB.
Sony set to post first loss in 14 years?
Sony may be on the verge of recording its first practical loss in 14 years, sources for CNN say. The company is believed to be recording an annual loss equal to about $1.1 billion attributed directly to the poor world economy and its effect on the Japanese Yen, which has strengthened at the expense of Sony's primarily international business. As sales have dropped, the company and others have been pushed to discount electronics and thus reduced Sony's practical income.
Supply leak suggests iPhone nano in June
Taiwan-area newspaper Economic Daily News today claims that Apple is lining up chip suppliers for its heavily rumored iPhone nano. The report believes that both the well-known chip contracting firm Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company as well as United Microelectronics Corporation are "likely" to get the nod for manufacturing unspecified chips for the cellphone in March with the aim of an actual product launch in June or later.

Google Paris HQ raided by investigators
Google's Paris headquarters has been raided by dozens of French police. The Tuesday raid was part of an ongoing investigation into possible tax-avoidance practices, stoked by widespread dissatisfaction with the way multinationals like Google are structuring their business operations. Although trading in many countries around the globe, Google reports its international sales only in tax-friendly Ireland, similar to a practice adopted by Apple. According to French law, if it completes any of its sales contracts in France and not Ireland alone, it could be in breach of its laws. Google, for its part, denies any wrongdoing, and said that it is fully compliant with French law. http://reut.rs/1Udk2T9
Apple TV extends universal search to NBC

It's a video.
I just felt like making this video, OKAY
Vi has some very creative video with her notebook and lead pencil.
"This isn't the epic video I've been working on for months, I just couldn't sleep last night and had been reading too much Borges so this fell out."
Vi shares with us a mathematical look at music box, backwards Bach, orbifolds and wooden bowl.
Folding and cutting spheres.
Unusual variations on the paper snowflake.
Vihart completes her Mathematically inspired Thanksgiving feast.
Turkey, stuffed with two ducks, each stuffed with two chickens, each stuffed with two quail (close enough). So what's your favourite naming scheme: breadth-first, depth-first, or inordered binary tree traversal?
Borromean Onion Rings, the perfect way to top your Green Bean Matherole! Borromean onion rings were invented by special guest Marc ten Bosch (http://marctenbosch.com).
Also shown are gelatinous cranberry cylinder, bread spheres and butter prism, mathed potatoes, apple pie, and pumpkin tau.
Yet another very important mathematical food for Thanksgiving.
Happy October, Month of the Hexaflexagon! Oct. 21st is the annual Celebration of Mind, in honor of Martin Gardner. Maybe you'd like to host or attend a flexagon party sometime around then, or learn about other awesome Martin Gardnery things. Here's the official celebration website: http://www.puzzles.com/hexaflexagon/
This video is based on a true story. Arthur H. Stone invented the Hexaflexagon and started a flexagon committee with his friends Tuckerman, Feynman, and Tukey (who all later became well-known in their respective fields). Tuckerman invented the Tuckerman Traverse, and Feynman invented Feynman Diagrams (not to be confused with Feynman Diagrams in physics, which is probably why flexagon diagrams are usually not called Feynman Diagrams anymore).
Hooraaaay flexagons!
Anti-parabola propoganda, plus musing on math class, cardioids, connect the dots, envelopes of lines, even a bit of origami.
Extra points to a certain Andrea whose line-enveloped Hilbert curve inspired me to finish this video.
Vi Hart's father George Hart gives a Seussish ode to geometry.
This is dedicated to Vihart - she may be the only person who can solve this.
Vihart, Vihart,
You won, my heart
With a spirally spiralling video
And now I@m writing this to let you know that
I can't, I can't
Solve this inequality
I was wondering if you would kindly
Please help me?
Vihart, Vihart,
Your videos are works of art,
The one on wau plus the one on tau
Gives me the courage to ask this now
For I shan't, I shan't,
Sleep till I've seen proof
Don't obscure what you say at risk of getting further from the truth
I imagine that the "i" must be
One of the roots of minus one, but I can't see
How the characters proceeding it
Are, mathematically speaking, supposed to fit
Vihart is it true
Is "i" less than 3u?
Less than 3, less than 3
I see it all the time, what does it mean?
Calculators cannot help,
After all they're just machines
I'm troubled too, by the u
Is it meant to be a constant value?
The only possiblity
Is that u must be imaginary
I've worked out that the "i" must be
One of the roots of minus one, but still I can't see
I'm plotting it on an Argand Diagram
Still I'm struggling to understand
Vihart is it true
Is "i" less than 3u?
I could accept that i must be
Forever apart from u, destined never to meet
Unless there's something I have missed
Some kind of clever mathematical trick
Vihart I know that you'll come through
The problem must not be above you
As by now you've realised that I...
All music, lyrics and low-quality drawings by "me."
Pythagoras had a problem with beans and irrationality. What really happened? I don't know! The square root of two is irrational, and beans are delicious.

Stepping Out: The Expanding Role of Catalogers in Academic Libraries and Academic Institutions

Banush, David
The stereotype of the cataloger as an isolated, back-room practitioner has persisted among many in the profession, despite years of evidence to the contrary. This paper examines some roles that catalog librarians have long played within their institutions and outside of technical services. The example of the various roles catalogers have assumed at Cornell University Library is used to illustrate some of the possible ways catalogers contribute to the research and teaching missions of the institution that extend beyond their traditional roles. The paper also touches briefly on possible future opportunities for catalogers to participate in the intellectual community of the university

+1 ^^^ You will not
+1 ^^^ You will not
I had a Magic Shine headlight and it was junk, it lasted 4 months, I tried to get it replaced under warranty and sent it back and they returned the item and I had a UPS code to prove it was delivered, they never bothered to return my dozens of e-mails, nor return any of my dozens of calls. So after about 3 months of frustration I gave up.
I noticed the original poster wanted a cheaper tail light, Dinotte is not cheap at over $150. However the BlackBurn Mars 4 is the brightest AAA or AA battery light on the market tied with Radbot 1000 for brightness, Both the Mars 4 and the Radbot 1000 use the same 1 watt LED bulb but the Mars 4 adds two 1/2 watt leds (one on each side) for side illumination making it far brighter from the side then the Radbot which is nearly impossible to see from the side. But be forewarned, the Mars 4 batteries do not last anywhere near as long as the Blackburn claims, they use 2 aaa bats and they will last about 7 to 8 hours on steady and about 15 to 18 on flashing. Thus you should invest in rechargeable AAA's and carry a spare set in your saddle bag. The Radbot AA bats will last far longer (at least twice as long) due to AA bats and only one led to power. The Mars 4 sells for about $22 and the Radbot 1000 for $25...not much of a difference in price.
[SIZE=1][B]What I like about Texas[/B]
Set F1re To The Ra1n ( NY Night Rain Ride)
Yeah - this is another "big deal" about lighting - whether or not you can afford to operate two or at least "own" two lights -so as to assure emergency replacement.That said, the MS light is still silly bright and if the comparison would be for "best-bang-for-buck" it would win hands down. I was so satisfied with the MS that I've bought a couple more since then.
If someone says Dinotte is a lot brighter - then - I want them to come and see what happens when I run two MS lights in "pulse mode." I guarantee they attract more attention then any single light.
Over 200,000 miles lifetime. Six quad-centuries, over fifteen triple-centuries, over 100 double-centuries, over 100 sub-five-hour centuries.
I ended up ordering the Magicshine MJ-818 bike light set from dealextreme. I'll report back later.
2012 Motobecane LeChampion Titanium
I hope you are satisfied after trying it out. And you should know -you can add another light for as little as $40 by buying just the light head.I ended up ordering the Magicshine MJ-818 bike light set from dealextreme. I'll report back later.
I run two light heads in blink mode using 6xAA battery pack. It is true that some of the other lights are "just about" as good. But only a Dinotte - or some other big battery-powered light is going to provide the kind of flash of an MS tail light. You can't get that kind of power from most 3xAAA or 2xAA lights.
Over 200,000 miles lifetime. Six quad-centuries, over fifteen triple-centuries, over 100 double-centuries, over 100 sub-five-hour centuries.
It seems like a really bright light, my question is, based on my experience with the headlight from the same folks, is it's reliability. I think I'll wait before I get suckered into another to see if any complaints come up over time.
Planet Bike Super Blinky.. good visibility day or night
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I will never know.....Groucho Marx
I rarely use my diNotte rear light anymore because my riding partners refused to ride behind me. It was just too bright. I now use the PBSF.
Two wheels good. Four wheels bad.
I've ridden behind a Dinotte, and it's not that bad. I think the worst is the Mars on flash, drives me nuts.
However I doubt I will ever purchase the Blackburn light as, unlike your experience with the Super Blinky, my 2 Super Blinkys have been nothing short of superb in the area of reliability and that would include excellent weatherproofing qualities as they have endured the monsoons of Seattle where I cycle with no problemo since purchasing them over 5 years ago. They are the ultimate in low maintenance with long intervals of dependable, highly visible performance between battery charges. As far as fragile goes....of course they wouldn't survive being run over by a 16 wheeler. ( my helmet mounted Photon Freedom Fusion headlight might)
I am also wondering about price here.
Certainly, if the Blackburn is lower priced than a Super Blinky and is superior as you say perhaps I should be looking into it.
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I will never know.....Groucho Marx
Here's a You Tube example of 3 different ones included is the Light & motion vis180, Mars 4, and Blackburn Flee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpCAXJKz1p8
Here's another of the Mars 4 vs the Smart Super Flash which is the same as the Blinky I believe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2ReR0j3fHE
I saw an interesting upcoming light from Cygolite at one of our distributors' sites:
Cygolite Hotshot
2 watt emitter, USB-rechargeable, ~50hr runtime, US$40 MSRP if you buy it with just a USB cable (as opposed to a charger). That's encroaching on the territory of a DiNotte 140, in a self-contained light. I have no idea what the mounting options are like, but I'll have to get one and check it out in person. The distributor estimates it'll be available on 8-8: http://www.jbimporters.com/web/check...t_number=97427
Also worth noting: the listing mentions OSP, which is Cygolight-speak for user-programmability. I don't know if that means changing the flash rate/pattern, or the brightness on steady-burn.
Merlin Titanium Classic / Campagnolo Record 10 Speed
Surly Pacer 2007/Shimano Ultegra
Raleigh One Way 2007 (Sturmey-Archer 3 speed conversion)
Bianchi Volpe 2006
Leave it to Cygolite to make a better light and at a reasonable cost. I wonder what the cost will be for the new tail light?
Mine is arriving Tuesday, and I'll try to post some preliminary info Tuesday night.
I got mine for $32 from modernbike.com. The shipping was $7 unless you chose some items for which shipping was free. So I got something I needed anyway for $7 & the order came up to the same $40 with free shipping. It'll arrive on Tuesday. I mean, for that price, there is not much one can lose....

Tip Off Dinner Set
The 25th Annual Tip-Off Dinner is set for Mon., Nov. 7, at the New Exhibit Hall at the Fresno Convention Center. There will be a no-host social with live jazz, a silent auction and an autograph area for the players at 5:30 p.m. With dinner served at 7:00 p.m., there will be a live auction to follow.

Bulldog Sports Network (BSN), which is a production of Bulldog Sports Properties, is making its debut this year with nine televised basketball games on KFRE. The BSN telecast will showcase new special effects, graphics and special student-athlete biographies throughout the season. Fresno State will have a national audience on ESPN's "Big Monday" on Feb. 27, 2006 when the Bulldogs host Western Athletic Conference opponent Boise State. In addition, Fresno State will be shown regionally on SportsWest for two games on KFRE when the `Dogs entertain WAC nemesis Nevada on Jan. 18, 2006 before traveling to Boise State on Feb. 4. Still further, the 2006 WAC Men's Basketball Championship Tournament, which will be held in Reno, Nev., will be broadcast as well. SportsWest will televise the quarterfinals and semifinals while the title game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
WAC Preseason Polls Has `Dogs Among Top Five
The Western Athletic Conference announced its men's basketball preseason polls on Wed., Oct. 12, and Fresno State was picked to finish among the top five in both the coaches' and media preseason polls. In the coaches' poll, the Bulldogs were tabbed fifth and received 38 points. Nevada was picked to win the WAC as the Wolf Pack received eight first place votes for 64 total points. UN posted a 25-7 overall record and went 16-2 in league play as the Wolf Pack advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Hawai'i, which received the other first-place vote, and WAC newcomer Utah State, which advanced to the NCAA's a year ago, tied for second with 50 points. Louisiana Tech received 45 points to finish fourth. Rounding out the WAC coaches' preseason poll was Boise State (6th, 30 pts.), San Jose State (7th, 18 pts.), New Mexico State (8th, 17 pts.) and Idaho (9th, 12 pts.). In the media poll, the Bulldogs were picked third as they received 139 points. Nevada was the unanimous selection as it received all 22 first-place votes for 198 points. Utah State was next with 161 points. Rounding out the media poll was Hawai'i (4th, 136 pts.), Louisiana Tech (5th, 132 pts.), Boise State (6th, 87 pts.), New Mexico State (7th, 61 pts.), Idaho (8th, 40 pts.) and San Jose State (9th, 36 pts.).
Coleman Named to Preseason All-WAC Teams
After being named to the 2005 WAC All-Newcomer team, junior Ja'Vance Coleman (Fresno, Calif.) gets his first preseason All-WAC nod when he was selected to both the coaches and media preseason All-WAC Teams. On the coaches' preseason 10-member team, Coleman was a first team pick and one of four guards selected overall. On the media's preseason team, he was one of five players named. Nevada's Nick Fazekas, a junior forward, was the player of the year choice by both the coaches and media.
Cleveland Named New Head Coach
On April 9, Steve Cleveland became the 17th head coach of the Fresno State men's basketball program. Taking over for Ray Lopes, Cleveland came from BYU where he built the Cougar program into a Mountain West Conference power. In his eight years, Cleveland guided BYU to a 138-108 record, five consecutive postseason appearances (three NCAA, two NIT) and four 20-win seasons. The Fresno, Calif. native was the 2003 MWC Coach of the Year as he guided BYU to three MWC championship titles (two regular-season and one tournament). Cleveland, who has no seniors on this year's squad as 2005-06 marks the 83rd season of Fresno State basketball, is 12 victories shy of collecting his 150th career win on the Division I level.
Bulldogs Top Draw in the WAC and Among Top 25 in Nation
Fresno State ranked as the WAC's top attendance leader and 23rd nationally in 2004-05. The Bulldogs averaged 11,835 as they also led the conference in total attendance (189,368) and posted a WAC-best single-date attendance mark of 13,250 versus then No. 25 Nevada on Feb. 26, 2005. The home finale against the Wolf Pack saw the first nationally-ranked team to play at the Save Mart Center.
In the Final 2004-05 NCAA Statistics
In the final 2004-05 NCAA statistical rankings, Fresno State finished among the top 100 schools in four different categories: field goal percentage (68th, 41.5), three-pointers per game (76th, 7.2), assists (82nd, 14.9) and blocks (83rd, 4.0). Individually, Coleman finished 50th in the nation for three-pointers per game (2.7).
Coleman and Morris in the School Annals
After one year of play, Coleman and sophomore guard Donovan Morris (San Bernardino, Calif.) already rank in Fresno State's single-season annals. Coleman is fourth in three-point attempts (246) and ninth in three-pointers made (82). Morris ranks seventh in three-point field goal percentage after hitting 42.5 percent last season (62-146).
Who's Back
Fresno State returns five letterwinners, including two starters from 16-14 squad that finished fourth in the league standings and advanced to the 2005 WAC semifinals. In addition to Coleman, sophomore guard Kevin Bell (Los Angeles, Calif.) is back as he started 17 games in a row for the Bulldogs. In the WAC he finished fifth in assist/turnover ratio (2.8) per game. Also back for the `Dogs is sophomore forward Hector Hernandez (Chihuahua, Mexico) and sophomore guards Morris and Dwight O'Neil (Fresno, Calif.). Hernandez, who played in all 30 games last year, came off the bench and scored in double-figures twice while shooting 31.9 percent beyond the arc. Morris, who started 24 of the 29 games played, returns as one of the league's best outside shooters. Scoring in double figures in his last eight games, he made 42.5 percent of his three-pointers overall and 45.8 in league games. O'Neil, who also played in all 30 games with seven starts, played a key role down the stretch for the Bulldogs. Starting four of the last eight games, he played at least 15 minutes in the final 10 games and made 35.0 percent of his three-point attempts as a freshman.
Two Bulldogs Sitting Out as Division I Transfers
Junior guard Justin Loewe (Caldwell, Texas) and junior guard/forward Dominic McGuire (San Diego, Calif.) will not suit up in 2005-06 as both are Division I transfers. Loewe, who is 6-4 and 190 pounds, transferred from Texas A&M where he played in 19 games and averaged 2.8 minutes per game last year for the Aggies who went 21-10 and advanced to the NIT quarterfinals. McGuire, who is 6-8 and 210 pounds, is a transfer from California. Playing two years for the Golden Bears, he started 23 games out of 28 played last season. McGuire averaged 7.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and shared team-high honors in blocks per game (1.1). Averaging 24.6 minutes of play, he totaled 11 double-figure games for a team that went 13-6 overall. As a freshman, he played in 26 games and averaged 4.3 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.
New York, New York
For the second time in Bulldogs' basketball history, Fresno State boasts an East-West connection with not one but two New Yorkers playing on the same team in the same season in freshman James Tchana (Long Island) and junior college transfer Quinton Hosley (Harlem). The first time that two New Yorkers played together at the same time was the 1997-98 season (Larry Abney from Nyack and Rafer Alston from Queens) and the `Dogs went 21-13 and advanced to the NIT Semifinals. Both Tchana and Hosley are the seventh and eighth New Yorkers to play at Fresno State.
International Flair
Junior college transfer Renato Cesar (Arizona Western College) is a native of São Bernardo, Brazil. He is the second Brazilian and 12th international Bulldog to play for Fresno State. Tchana was born in Cameroon, Africa, but emigrated to the United States as a sophomore in high school.
Hurricane Katrina Hits Home
Former Bulldogs Kendric Brooks (1996-97) and Charlie Williams (1987-88) are from New Orleans as Hurricane Katrina leashed its fury this past summer. Donations can be made through the Red Cross at 1-800-HELP NOW or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish) or visiting www.redcross.org.
WAC Announces TV Schedule
The WAC has a multi-year contract with ESPN for coverage of WAC football and basketball. SportsWest also will carry several games this season. Twelve games plus the Bracket Buster and WAC Tournament are scheduled as part of the WAC packages for 2005-06, with others still under consideration.
In the Preseason Basketball Polls
In two preseason publications, the WAC was broken down on how schools will do this season. Nevada and Utah State were picked to finish 1-2, respectively, by both Athlon and Lindy's. Fresno State was picked sixth by Athlon and fifth by Lindy's. In addition, both publications selected its preseason teams and Coleman was honored by both magazines. In addition, ESPN.com showcased its preseason writer's poll last week and the Bulldogs have two Top 25 preseason teams on their slate in No. 22 Iowa State and No. 24 Nevada.
Fresno State to Make Fourth Straight Bracket Buster Appearance
For the fourth year in a row, the WAC has partnered with ESPN and several other top college basketball conferences for Bracket Buster Saturday, a one-day men's basketball event matching potential NCAA tournament hopefuls against each other. All nine WAC teams will be involved in this year's event to be held on Feb. 18, 2006. The match-ups will be determined by ESPN in conjunction with the conferences on Sun., Jan. 29. For the fourth straight year the Bracket Buster field has expanded after originally starting out as an 18-team field in 2003 before growing to 46 and then to 64 last year. Bracket Buster Saturday is currently set up to showcase 11 nationally televised games, including five on ESPNU. ESPN and ESPN2 will combine to televised the remaining six contests. All teams playing home games will play a "return" game at the home facility of their opponent in November or December of the following season. The 2006 field boasts teams that have made a combined 31 appearances in the NCAA Tournament the last two years, including a pair of Sweet 16 programs in Wisconsin-Milwaukee (2005) and Nevada (2004). In the 2005 NCAA Tournament, 18 schools earned a berth, which was the most since 2001 when Fresno State was one of 17 programs that played in the postseason. Fresno State is making its fourth consecutive appearance and will be on the road this season. The Bulldogs will look to break a three-game losing streak in Bracket Buster play. Fresno State has dropped its first three contests: at No. 17 Creighton (67-66, 2003), East Tennessee State (66-62, 2004), and Buffalo (52-49, 2005).
2005-06 Schedule Overview
With seven schools advancing to postseason play, including four that qualified for the NCAA Tournament, Fresno State has 28 games on the docket for the 2005-06 season. While 14 home games are on tap, adding to the attraction of the home schedule will be Fresno State's appearance on ESPN's "Big Monday" versus Boise State on Feb. 27. The Bulldogs' notable non-conference slate includes 2005 NCAA Tournament participants Iowa State (Dec. 3) and Pacific (Dec. 17). Both programs advanced to the NCAA Second Round and the Tigers earned a final No. 22 ranking in the AP Poll.
The `Dogs open their home schedule against Oregon State on Nov. 26. Fresno State then travels to Buffalo four days later before hosting San Francisco nearly a month later -- all three teams participated in the 2005 National Invitation Tournament. Rounding out its non-conference ledger will be contests against CS Northridge (Dec. 7), University of San Diego (Dec. 10), Norfolk State (Dec. 19), UC Santa Barbara (Dec. 23), Iona (Jan. 3) and a Bracket Buster game on Feb. 18.
The WAC season gets underway in early January. Playing two of their first four conference games at the Save Mart Center, the Bulldogs open league play against 2005 NCAA participants Utah State (Jan. 7) and Nevada (Jan. 18).
In addition, nine of the Bulldogs' home games will take place from mid-December until the end of January. In this 12-game stretch, Fresno State will entertain Norfolk State, UC Santa Barbara, San Francisco (Dec. 29), Iona (Jan. 3), Utah State, Nevada, New Mexico State (Jan. 26), Louisiana Tech (Jan. 28) and Idaho (Jan. 30). In Fresno State's basketball history, the Bulldogs will be playing Iona for the first time as well as playing three of its five oldest opponents in Pacific, San Jose State and UC Santa Barbara.
The `Dogs also begin the year by playing six of their first seven games away from home. The Bulldogs have two exhibition games at the Save Mart Center with Masters College (Nov. 9) and Fresno Pacific (Nov. 15). The Bulldogs' regular-season tips off at Cal Poly, making it the second time in three years that Fresno State opens on the road.
Former Bulldog Selected to NBA Development League
Recently signed by the NBA Development League, former Bulldog stand out Mustafa Al-Sayyad (Khartoum, Sudan) will look to be drafted next month. Al-Sayyad wrapped up his Bulldog career by being a Second Team All-WAC selection and leading the WAC in blocked shots (2.36) in his final season. In the school record books, he ranks second in blocks (140), fifth in field goal percentage (292-510, .572) and 48th in career points (745). Al-Sayyad owns Fresno State's and the Save Mart Center's single-game record for rejections with 11 (vs. Buffalo, Feb. 19, 2005). In a season he had the sixth-best field goal percentage (.578, 130-225) and the seventh-most blocks (70) his senior year.
Three Former Bulldogs Active in the NBA
Former Bulldogs Rafer Alston (Houston), Melvin Ely (Charlotte) and Hiram Fuller (Washington) are the three current active players in the NBA for Fresno State. Alston was a second round draft pick by Milwaukee in 1998. Ely was the Bulldogs's highest draft selection as he was chosen 12th by the Los Angeles Clippers in 2002. After playing for Atlanta last year, Fuller is in his NBA season. In the front office, former Bulldog All-American Rod Higgins is in his second year as general manager of the Golden State Warriors. On the side lines, former Bulldog assistant coach Ron Adams is in his second season as an assistant with the Chicago Bulls.
Fresno State Wraps Up 2004-05 Season at WAC Tournament
Fresno State entered the 2005 WAC Basketball Tournament as the No. 4 seed with a 15-13 overall record after going 9-9 in league play. The Bulldogs captured their first WAC tournament win since 2002 when they defeated No. 5 seed Louisiana Tech, 84-81 (OT), in the quarterfinal round. Ironically, the victory over Louisiana Tech at the WAC tournament was Fresno State's last WAC tournament win. The victory also propelled Fresno State in the WAC semifinals for the first time since 2002. The `Dogs, however, dropped an 86-85 decision to No. 8 seed Boise State as the Broncos made the game-winning free throws with 8.7 second left on the clock. The win by Boise State made it the first time in WAC Tournament history that a No. 8 seed advanced to the championship game. The `Dogs finished the year at 16-14 and are 7-11 all-time in the WAC Tourney.

Fairfax, VA (Sports Network) - Sherrod Wright scored a game-high 29 points as
the George Mason Patriots defeated the Houston Cougars in overtime, 88-84,
in the College Basketball Invitational at the Patriot Center.
Patrick Holloway and Jonathan Arledge both added 11 points for the Patriots,
(20-14), the latter capturing nine rebounds, while Bryon Allen filled out his
stat line with 10 points, nine assists and eight boards for the hosts as well.
The Cougars (20-13) were paced by TaShawn Thomas who recorded a huge double-
double with 24 points and a game-high 17 rebounds, followed by Joseph Young
and Danuel House with 21 and 13 points, respectively.
George Mason opened the meeting on a 17-0 run and appeared poised to blow out
the Cougars, yet even with Houston shooting only 1-of-8 behind the 3-point
line in the first half, the visitors trailed by just seven points at the
break, 43-36.
In the second half the Cougars continued their comeback bid by shooting 50
percent from the floor, but still the squad needed a dunk by Thomas with just
10 seconds remaining in regulation to knot the score at 77-77 and send the
meeting into overtime.
In the extra session, the Patriot began with a 7-2 scoring run and used that
to slip by with the four-point decision.
A major difference in the game took place on the perimeter where Houston shot
only 4-of-17, compared to the Patriots who made good on 11-of-22 attempts
behind the 3-point line.
With the victory George Mason now heads to the semifinals of the tournament on
Wednesday against an opponent to be determined.
Making news off the court on Monday as well, the Patriots announced that they
have set a July 1, 2013 date for when they will be leaving the Colonial
Athletic Association and joining the Atlantic 10.

Re: myFICO vs. Lender Pulled Scores

Some lenders will buy a certain scoring model from fico. The ones that myfico gives us is their general CC model. But there are mortgage/auto enhanced fico scores. There are newer and older scoring models. FICO has many products for their lender customers. So yes your score could change dependant on the scoring model purchased by the lender.
Actually, the scores here are (or have been) the mortgage scores, not the CC versions.
The Equifax score is 99% likely the EQ score your lender will pull. The industry name for it is Beacon 5.0.
Thanks for the schooling. Always thought they were the CC scores.

I would like to realise a monitor window that reports the user about ongoing computations. To do so I wrote a little class. But as I would like to use it accross different modules in an easy fashion I thought to implement it with classmethods. This allows to use it in the following way without instances:
from MonitorModule import Monitor
Also, if I use it in an other module, the output of Monitor.write() within other_module.py will be displayed in the same window.
This I can import in each module to redirect specific outputs to the same monitor. I got it to work except one little thing that I don't understand. I can't close the Monitor-window with the specific handler that I wrote. I could do it with the non-classmethod-way but not with the handler as a classmethod.
Look at the code:
import Tkinter
class Monitor_non_classmothod_way(object):
def __init__(self):
self.mw = Tkinter.Tk()
self.mw.title("Messages by NeuronSimulation")
self.text = Tkinter.Text(self.mw, width = 80, height = 30)
self.mw.protocol(name="WM_DELETE_WINDOW", func=self.handler)
self.is_mw = True
def write(self, s):
if self.is_mw:
self.text.insert(Tkinter.END, str(s) + "\n")
print str(s)
def handler(self):
self.is_mw = False
class Monitor(object):
def write(cls, s):
if cls.is_mw:
cls.text.insert(Tkinter.END, str(s) + "\n")
print str(s)
def handler(cls):
cls.is_mw = False
mw = Tkinter.Tk()
mw.title("Messages by NeuronSimulation")
text = Tkinter.Text(mw, width = 80, height = 30)
mw.protocol(name="WM_DELETE_WINDOW", func=handler)
close = handler
is_mw = True
a = Monitor_non_classmothod_way()
a.write("Hello Monitor one!")
# click the close button: it works
b = Monitor()
Monitor.write("Hello Monitor two!")
# click the close button: it DOESN'T work, BUT:
# >>> Monitor.close()
# works...
So, the classmethod seems to work and also seems to be accessible in the right way! Any idea, what went wrong, that it doesn't work with the button?
Cheers, Philipp

Kentucky estimated payments may be made by EFT for Corporation Income Tax only. Should you have any questions, contact the Department of Revenue at (502) 564-6020.
The Department of Revenue joined with the Internal Revenue Service to offer electronic filing of federal and state business income tax returns. This program is an effort to provide "one-stop shopping" for all tax preparation and filing.
Kentucky accepts Forms 720, 720-S, 765, 765-GP, 720-SL and the supporting forms and schedules for the Fed/State electronic filing program for tax year 2015. Electronic filing will begin on January 25, 2016. Check with your software provider to see what forms are supported through the software for electronic filing.
Click on the Business bar to the left for up-to-date information regarding corporate income tax.
The tax year 2015 begins on January 19, 2016. The Form 740, Form 740-NP, Form 40A102, Form EPAY and supporting forms/schedules are accepted electronically through the Federal/State Modernized eFile (MeF) program.
A Form 40A102,Extension of Time to File Individual Income Tax Returns for Kentucky, may be electronically filed through the return due date to request an extension of time to file.
Electronic filing of the Form 740, Form 740-NP and Form 40A102 enables the taxpayer to take advantage of debiting the tax due amount from their financial institution at the time of filing the return. Taxpayers may also schedule payment of estimate tax at the time of filing their Form 740 and Form 740-NP.
Beginning in tax year 2015, electronic filing of the Form EPAY allows the taxpayer to make electronic payments of tax due or estimate payments at times other than when filing their individual income tax return or Form 40A102.
Check with your software company to determine what forms are supported by the software.
Payments by check/money order, other than for prior year or amended returns, should be accompanied with the Form 740-V, Kentucky Payment Voucher. Do not staple the Form 740-V to the payment. If you are filing your return electronically and making a payment by check/money order, a copy of the electronically filed return should not be included with the Form 740-V and payment.
Fraud Prevention and Detection
This filing season the Kentucky Department of Revenue, along with the IRS and many other state tax agencies, is requesting additional information for electronically filed tax returns. This is an additional effort to combat stolen-identity tax fraud and protect taxpayers and their tax refunds.
Driver license or state-issued identification card information will be requested when completing an electronic tax return. Providing this information is voluntary and will not cause the tax return to be rejected if it is not provided. However, providing the information may help to process the return more quickly.

Submission of Wage and Tax information must be filed on or before January 31.
Department of Revenue will assign a personal identification number (PIN) when the employer declares an intention to send annual wage and tax reports to Department of Revenue via the Web. To register, use the Authorization to Submit Employees Annual Wage Statements Via DOR Web Site - Form 42A808.

According to Star magazine, Megan Fox is pregnant! According to the report, Megan and her husband Brian Austin Green are very excited about the pregnancy. "They just found out and are incredibly excited." A source close to the couple told the magazine, noting that the pregnancy was a surprise.
Megan already has a little bit of practice in this area because she has been a step mom to Green's 10-year-old son, who he had with ex Vanessa Marcil. "Megan has become a great step mom, and Brain knows she'll be wonderful with the baby." the source said. Don't expect Fox to break the news anytime soon, though. "It's still early, so they are only telling close friends and family members" the source continued.
Noooooo! No! No! What about her beautiful body? What will happen to it? It's never going to be same; she was the last "perfect" hottie left! Jessica Alba has already ruined everything by having kids, sure she still looks hot…but it's just not the same. Something happens when a hot chick has a baby, something terrible happens. A little bit of hotness dies in us all! Hotness is becoming endangered…thanks to faulty condoms and Mcdonalds.
What does Mcdonalds have to with it? We're not sure, but it just feels right blaming them for everything.

Campers may be tired when they get here and enter our office, but they'll be smiling when they leave!
But it won't take you long to see that this unique KOA Kampground has much more to offer than just great access to miles and miles of sand dunes along the beautiful Oregon coast.
"Campers may be tired when they get here and enter our office," said Kathy Gross, "But they will be smiling when they leave."
Owning a KOA campground was a retirement dream for the Gross family. But after spending more than 1,000 hours on heavy equipment moving sand when they built the campground in 1995, it fast became apparent that this would be a full-time "hobby."
"We're still building," said Kathy. "We sure aren't done yet!"
You'll likely see a lot of familiar faces on your return visits to this KOA, since it has one of the highest rates of return campers in the KOA system.
When they do find time for other interests, you'll find Fritz tinkering with old tractors and military vehicles, while Kathy will likely be riding her Arabian horse or working in her glass studio.
