College Hockey:U.S. Tops Slovakia At WJC Thanks To Special Teams
Team USA used outstanding special-teams play and solid goaltending on the way to a 6-1 victory over Slovakia in preliminary-round play at the 31st annual International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship.
In a must-win game for the United States if it hoped to have a chance to move onto the medal round, Team USA came alive with three power-play goals and held Slovakia scoreless on its 10 man-advantage chances.
"We got an all-around team effort today," said U.S. head coach Ron Rolston. "I'm proud of our guys. We have to get some rest and be ready for Sweden tomorrow."
The United States held a 2-0 advantage after the opening period. Patrick Kane wristed a shot from the top of the right circle and past Slovakia netminder Jakub Macek with Team USA on the power play at 6:51 for a 1-0 edge. Captain Taylor Chorney and Jack Skille drew assists on the play.
Defenseman Jack Johnson made it 2-0 at 14:45 with a delayed penalty on Slovakia in effect. Peter Mueller found Johnson at the side of the left circle and his shot sailed over the glove of Macek. Nate Gerbe also assisted on the play.
Getting his first start of the 2007 IIHF World Junior Championship, U.S. netminder Jeff Frazee was strong in the opening stanza, including a solid stop off an opening-faceoff two-on-one rush. Frazee also made two big stops in less than a minute midway through the period, first on David Buc and then on Juraj Valach.
Team USA scored two more power-play goals in the second period to gain a 4-0 advantage after 40 minutes. Kane had one of the tournament's most spectacular goals at 4:15 as he came from the side wall, stick-handled through traffic and roofed one into the upper corner of the net on the near side from just outside the goal crease.
Then at 9:00, defenseman Erik Johnson wristed one from the center point that beat Macek and sent him to the bench in favor of Branislav Konrad.
The United States gained a 5-0 lead just 1: 36 into the third period as Konrad inadvertently tipped the puck up over his own shoulder and into his net off an Erik Johnson pass attempt to Mueller. Mueller got credit for the goal despite not touching the puck. Slovakia broke the shutout at 9:46 before James vanRiemsdyk finished the scoring at 16:07 when he put home the rebound of a Justin Abdelkader shot from in close. Blake Geoffrion started the play.
Frazee finished with 28 saves, while Macek and Konrad combined for 23 stops for Slovakia.

Southgate Cinema
1631 Gordon Highway,
2 people favorited this theater
Southgate Cinemas was located in Augusta, in Southgate Shopping Center. It was a nice single screen theatre with great seats, a large marquee, and a dual projection booth.
Any Southgate moviegoer will tell you that the screen and theatre were both fine, but the concession stand was the pits. In fact, as lobbies go, one of the worst ever. And the restrooms were very tiny.
It opened on Friday, December 18, 1970 with the classic "Love Story" starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal. This film played at Southgate Cinema for several months.
A story floated in movie theater world that Southgate was quickly built to keep Jerry Lewis Twin Theatres out of town. That's right, Jerry Lewis was actually in the theatre business during the late-1960's and early-1970's! Augusta was on the map for one of his theatres until Southgate was quickly built.
Southgate played a lot of United Artists movies — almost all the 007's played there along with the first X-rated movie to play in a suburban theatre, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". Southgate also played "Hello Dolly" and "Soylent Green" had a long run there.
The theater seated I guess close to 500 people, and it stayed open until the late-1990's when it was reduced to a dollar cinema. Today it's a church.
While playing golf in Augusta, Christopher Lee attended the 1st Augusta showing of "Man With A Golden Gun". He writes in his bio that he drove down I-20 from Atlanta to Augusta. Most stars fly into Augusta – Christopher Lee took a limo. I should've gotten down there but at the time I wasn't yet driving!
Southgate Theatre was a Georgia Theatre, and did switch to United Artists for awhile until Georgia Theatres (in reorganization) got back in the Augusta market. And like all Georgia Theatre Co. theatres, they never played late shows!
Ellen Carter managed Southgate Cinema for 19 years. She was there during the first run films, and sadly closed the theatre with "Supercop" – all seats one dollar.
I believe all projection equipment is still in the theatre, and I assume the screen is still up. However, Georgia Theatres has a history of butchering a theatre once they move out. So the screen could be gone since it's now a church. Guess I could drive over and check it out. I think there would be a market on that side of town for a theatre, but I also think the people that would attend would quickly tear it up.

Drove Southgate today, Funny the whole world is watching the MASTERS about 8 miles up the road from Southgate,What depressed part of Town, looks like CLARLY CHAPEL was on the marquee,from what i could make of it,looks like the church has even left Southgate.

March 20 1993 playing "NO WHERE TO RUN".
Dec 23 1994 has "JASON's LYRIC" showing.
Ok Mike…I have a question for you since you seem to remember so much about Southgate :) My mother was Ellen Carter and we were talking the other day about the theater and couldn't remember the exact day it closed. Do you remember?
She was playing "SUPERCOP" i have the picture from the paper,Can't recall the date, could archieve it from the Chroncile if you really wanted to know
I bet all the projection equipment was left there, it was one the few booths i never got to see inside of.SUe. IF she has pictures I would love to have copies..
i have a bunch of theatre pictures on my FACEBOOK,some of Ga.theatre Folks even thought i never worked for Ga.theatres..
Saw a 1988 reissue of "The Fox and the Hound" here with my dad as a kid. Twice. Used to work in this shopping center not long after the theater closed down.

I doubt that I'll miss anything unless it lasts over six months, I have enough food for three months and enough booze and wine for at least six months.
I cannot even imagine all the things that could change. I like my creature comforts and good food. I also enjoy going to bed at night and not worrying about the BGs.

Well, my barter goods stock up for the zombie Apocalypse was 22 LR ammo and toilet tissue.
If you had none: what would you give for some 2 ply tissue, would sure be missing it real quick. There are always alternatives but no real substitute. I'm pretty spoiled.
Down side is I will not need to buy tissue for a while. since the world didn't end on 12/21/12. Shot up the ammo a lot faster.

I would miss the carefree life I can provide for my children. I can batten down the hatches and hold out for a year with my supplies of food/water/ammo.
Still a simple cut or diarrhea may kill you or a loved one in a true SHTF scenario. 6 out of 7 people shot with handguns survive with modern medical treatment and our EMS system. 6 out of 7 would die from a gunshot wound (even a .22lr) in a SHTF scenario.
I never want to fire my gun outside of a learning atmosphere but in a SHTF scenario we will all have to relearn new rules of survival and taking/giving gunfire will be a part of life.
It would depend on what type of poo and who threw it in the fan. If the wife and I can stay with the house not much really. Electric probably but can do without that indefinetly if we have too.
If we had to go mobile probably miss our house and land the most.

Updated: 10/13/2009 - It seems the holiday shopping season is starting earlier than ever! I found some evidence on Yahoo! today. An article names the 10 Hottest Toys for 2009.

Posted: 10/06/2009 -
Updated: 10/05/2009 - I made a call last week that's never fun for a reporter - no matter what the movies might have you think. It was to the family member of someone who'd lost their life. I spoke with the brother of a woman who had passed away a week earlier of complications from the H1N1 virus. Stephanie Alfrey was just 30-years old and had three young children at home. Her brother, Chris, says she went to the hospital not feeling well. Within days, it had progressed to double pneumonia. Seven days after entering the hospital, she was dead.

- Knowing it was coming, I had to watch.
How would David Letterman work in the story of an alleged extortion plot and, subsequently, admit that he had sex with several female staff members?
We turned it up in the newsroom after the show and listened. I had my "Tweet deck" fire up on the keyword search "Letterman." It instantly lit up and I think I have to agree with the most common word I saw to describe what unfolded: awkward.
First off, if you're unfamiliar with the story, go ahead and read about it: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/01/entertainment/main5357314.shtml
Updated: 10/05/2009
- September 29th may be my older brother's birthday but - and no offense here, big bro - I was more excited to see this is also National Coffee Day!
Through online searching, I've learned no one really knows how this day started. It seems coffee lovers picked a random day off the calendar and decided to celebrate. I'll raise a tall, skinny vanilla latte to that!
I was starting to get even more fired up when I saw several national chains were offering free coffee deals for people to show their java jubilation. I clicked on a few and noticed they were local articles. I went to the corporate web sites for those chains and didn't see it mentioned. Hmmm... So being the intrepid reporter I am, I picked up the phone and called our local locations. Alas, they had not heard of National Coffee Day. No deals here - though one manager did say she'd give me a cup of coffee I paid a visit.
Updated: 10/05/2009
- I had to laugh when a friend sent me a message today asking for my smoothie recipe.
Here it is - take whatever fruit you have lying around and put it in a blender with a splash of milk and a small scoop of frozen yogurt.
How much of each fruit? What's considered a splash? Could you define small scoop?
I have no idea. You see, most of what I cook has no recipe. Oh, I know baking has to be more scientific, so I'll follow directions for that. But for main courses, I tend to make things up as I go along.
Updated: 10/01/2009 - With so much focus this week on the squabbles between KU's football and basketball teams, it was refreshing to read the following article on Yahoo! today. If you liked the story about the softball players carrying the opposing player around the bases, this one will touch you, too. But it's more than just what the respectful gesture the student-athlete displayed, it's about what else the young man is going through. Sometimes, people make mistakes. The test of their character is in how they overcome them.
Updated: 09/25/2009 - And we thought technology was supposed to make our lives easier!!! As I write this, our newsroom computer program has decided to take a vacation. It's the system where we write our scripts, time our newscasts, auto-load our video and auto-enter the font information -- that's when you see the names and locations on the screen. There's nothing like a computer problem to make you realize the extent to which we depend on computers these days! For all those times you wonder why you need to learn the background on how something works, this is your reminder. Yes, a computer makes it easy to do, but you need to know how to physically do it for those times when the computer is not available to do it for you.
Updated: 09/25/2009 - It's still not clear whether a K-State student's brush with alcohol poisoning was outright hazing or an individual not knowing his limits. Whichever it was, it certainly adds to the debate over the use of alcohol by college students. Is binge drinking a problem among college students? It depends who you ask. Tales of alcohol-fueled fun have been around as long as perhaps anyone can remember. Old friends laugh over the memories. It's the stuff of classic movies like "Animal House." It's just harmless fun, after all - kids blowing off steam. But families of two KU students who lost their lives this past spring might tell you otherwise. Both deaths were ruled alcohol-related. For them, binge drinking was anything but harmless.
Updated: 09/25/2009 - We know we live in an age where everything may be on camera, but it seems like some people either forget or don't care. Take Chiefs Coach Todd Haley. Now, I know competition can get emotional and I know coaches have long been cussing out players, but I still have mixed emotions about the colorful sideline tirades I saw during Sunday's game. You didn't need audio to clearly make out the words Haley was using. Even my nephew, who's a high school freshman, commented on it. And that is what brings me to my mixed feelings. I am not so naive as to think kids don't know what these words are, but do we want the family to settle in for a Sunday afternoon, only to shield the kids' eyes and ears every time they show the sideline? The FCC has debated fining broadcasters for an expletive that's slipped out during an awards show. Does not being able to hear it make it okay?

Deploying the artwork I got anyway series, Part 7 (In any case, you're talking to a card-carrying Alice in Wonderland fan)
ARMS © Minagawa Ryouji & Nanatsuki Kyouichi/Shogakukan (Serialized in Shonen Sunday)
Published in Indonesia by Elex Media/Level Comics
By Minagawa Ryouji and Nanatsuki Kyouichi
Original title: ARMS
Shogakukan, originally serialized in Shonen Sunday, shounen
Volume 16 first released in Japan 2001.03
Series re-released in 12 volumes from 2007.06 to 2008.05
Published in Indonesia 2010.01 by PT Elex Media Komputindo/Level Comics
Having penetrated Carillon Tower, the nerve center of the Egrigori organization bent on creating a cyborg-dominated future for humankind, the Arms race to lay waste to the center's facilities.
Hayato is suspicious of Bobby's eagerness to exterminate Ryou, when the enemy forces are focused on bringing down Knight. Apparently, Black had gotten to Bobby, promising him freedom in exchange for Ryou's life. Ryou only realizes this belatedly, but regret will have to wait, for Huey shows up. The NEXT Egrigori weapon surpasses previous combat cyborgs!
[With additions from Amazon's description of Project ARMS volume 16 (VIZ Media edition)]
This series was awarded the 1999 Shogakukan Manga Award for the shounen category, although it's still the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland influence that continues to intrigue me. As I babbled over on the Level 27 January manga post, one of these days, I'll actually get around to reading this thing, lurvin' Alice in Wonderland-inspired manga (yes, I'm talking about you, Heart no Kuni no Alice) like I do. The question is: will I get to read/catch up with this series before Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland premieres?

as of two weeks today, i've been taking alli to aid in my weight loss. now, i don't notice that the scale has budged at all, but i know for a fact that i'm finally eating the right foods and better portions of them. why? because i'm deathly afraid of the "treatment effects" striking at the wrong time and place.
the treatment effect, side effect in lamens terms, that is scaring me into healthy eating is a runny, oily, orange surprise in my pants. that's right friends, if i don't closely monitor my intake of fat grams with each and every meal, i will have explosive diarrhea. but sometimes it won't be explosive; it will just ooze out slowly, run down my leg, and embarrass the shiznitz out of me. NO–this HAS NOT happened!! but it could. i've been reading a few horror stories about it online. one man was just sitting at an outdoor cafe eating his lunch, which he admitted was over the allowable fat grams, and *boom* the treatment effects made their debut for ALL to see. oh, the horrors!! but, unlike side effects that can be the result of taking some drugs, these are 100% preventable. if i eat well, stick to 15 grams of fat or less per meal, it won't happen. i did test this to be sure–i believe i had close to 18 or so in one meal. albeit, it was just a meal of sushi, noodle soup and seven triscuits, but somehow, i must have gone over my limit. luckily, i was dining at home. shortly after the meal hit my tummy, like clockwork, there was a rumblin'. i won't go into the gory details, but yeah, um, the poo is no joke. and yes, the oil is orange. okay, okay, tmi.
i'm not just relying on alli to do all of the work; i know it's not a magic pill. i am working out on my treadmill for an hour each day and doing strength training with some tough resistance bands. but at least now, i'm very closely monitoring my calories and fats. i even keep a food diary to make sure i'm on track every day. it's amazing–all the times before when i thought i was eating well, i really wasn't. i was eating too much food. it was healthy food, but way too much of it. i'm controlling my portions and not even tempted to go for a second helping because i know how long i'll have to work on that treadmill to burn it off.
and i know that oily stool is sooooo not attractive.

With Friday comes a new round of movies into theatres across the nation. Although February is well-known for it's lack of important and meaningful movies in movie world, if you're interested in Nicholas Sparks romance stories, this weekend is for you.
Dear John is being released today and is a sufficient choice for anyone who wishes to embark on an emotional roller coaster ride, or anyone who has a girlfriend that has been bugging you to take her to a movie ever since you made her see that terrible horror movie that she had to close her eyes through. It is the story of two young people who meet, fall in love, and then life gets in the way separating them from each other in every way except through the letters they send each other.
For anybody not interested in sappy love stories but instead wants to see an intense and action-packed John Travolta movie should go and see From Paris with Love, the story of a low-ranked intelligence officer who just wants to advance up the government ladder and must assist in high-risk, high-action missions in order to get his foot in the door.
Crazy Heart has come to the Iowa City area. This award winning movie features Jeff Bridges, who plays a broken down country singer who seeks salvation in a journalist (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who helps him uncover his true emotions and shows him the man he can truly be. This indie drama has won many awards including Best Actor in a Drama, and is a critics choice for movie goers.
Another indie drama and critics choice that has come to the Iowa City area is An Education, starring Carey Mulligan and Peter Saarsgard. This film is about a 16 year old girl who has the world in front of her, bending to her will, when she meets a man 20-ish years her senior who takes an active interest in her life. This suitor shows her a new side to the world, the one of glitzy concerts and late, expensive dinners. Does Jenny succumb under this new life or continue with the one her family had planned for her?

High needs kids always represent a special challenge. Considerations must be taken with them that need not be taken with any other child—and any parent of a high-needs child knows that you have to carefully weigh your choices and your opportunities before deciding what you're going to do. Spring break is no exception.
Your high-needs child is likely used to a particular sort of routine. He rolls out of bed in the morning, eats breakfast, and gets started on his schoolwork. That's the way his day works. When breaks roll around, however, he doesn't have those touchstones. Maybe mom is sleeping a little bit later, so breakfast isn't waiting on him when he wakes up. Maybe his usual chores aren't an issue during spring break week. He certainly isn't expected to continue to do schoolwork—and while this may be a relief for him, just like any other kid, it's also a source of discomfort. What's he supposed to do with himself? What can he expect of this new schedule? Since it's temporary, he may not even have time to settle into a routine again before it's jerked out from under him. What's worse, he knows it!
If you want to help your high-needs kid cope with spring break with a minimum of meltdowns, there are a few things that you can do to help.
Keep to the routine as much as possible. Go ahead and get up close to your normal time. Fix breakfast, if that's something you normally do. Get chores done by the normal time before you play. The less you stray from his normal routine, the more likely he is to stay settled.
Let him know what's coming. Surprises are rarely a good thing with a high-needs kid. If you intend to go to the park, tell him. If you're planning a field trip, let him know. If you're up for a movie night, go ahead and tell him ahead of time what the movie is going to be so that he's not hoping for one thing and ending up disappointed. Make a rough plan of what you intend to do over the course of spring break so that he knows what to expect.
Don't make promises you can't keep. If you've said that you're going to the park, go to the park—even if you don't really feel like it. Promised a field trip? That means you're going, even if you wake up with a stuffy, foggy head and the last thing you want to do is go anywhere. Planning a peaceful day at home? Stick to it—don't just decide at the last minute that you want to go shopping. Try not to let time get away from you if that means that you aren't going to be able to complete a promised activity, and remember that an extra hour at the park may not be worth the loss of his computer time when he gets home.
Keep your rules consistent. If bedtime is always at eight, bedtime should continue to be at eight. Need a later night? Warn him ahead of time that it's coming—and be prepared for a meltdown. Do you allow a certain amount of "screen time" each day? Remember that even if you're out and about, he will likely still want his screen time.
Don't try to cram in too many chores. It's easy to look at a break week as time to catch up on all the things that you haven't been able to keep up with over the past few weeks. However, your high-needs kid is looking at this break as just that: a break. He doesn't need to be jumping to keep up with chore demands all day, every day—and if you force him to do so, you're likely asking for a meltdown.

The San Luis Obispo Police Department will conduct a Sobriety/Driver's License checkpoint on July 3, 2014, in the City of San Luis Obispo. In 2012, over 10,300 people were killed nationally in motor vehicle traffic crashes that involved at least one driver or motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent or higher. In California, this deadly crime led to 1362 deaths because someone failed to designate a sober driver.
Motorists approaching a checkpoint will see informational signs advising them that a Sobriety/Driver's License checkpoint is ahead. Once diverted into the lane, motorists will be detained only a few moments while an officer explains the purpose of the checkpoint. The Sobriety/Driver's License checkpoint will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines for checkpoint operations as outlined in the Supreme Court decision, Ingersoll vs. Palmer.
Traffic volume permitting, all vehicles will be checked. If volume becomes too heavy, vehicles to be checked will be selected by a pre-set standard to assure objectivity.
Placing checkpoints on roads with identified DUI problems and detaining drivers for a very limited time helps assure that the police department conforms to the guidelines. Sobriety checkpoints tend to reduce the number of impaired drivers on the road, even though arrest totals do not rise dramatically. A major value of checkpoints is their psychological influence. The news media is advised well in advance whenever a checkpoint is planned since extensive publicity is also viewed as a legal safeguard. The checkpoint will be operated from approximately 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. The San Luis Obispo Police Department will generate a media notification fax/email detailing the location of the checkpoint approximately two hours prior to the opening.

Milton Nascimento: San Vicente
San Vicente
Milton Nascimento (vocals, guitar)
MIltons (Columbia 45239)
Milton Nascimento (vocals, guitar), Herbie Hancock (piano), Nana Vasconcelos (percussion),
Robertinho Silva (drums).
Composed by Milton Nascimento and Fernando Brant.
Recorded: Rio de Janeiro, no date given (CD released in 1989)
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
This song, from the outstanding Miltons album, opens with Nascimento singing plaintively over a rubato guitar accompaniment, the music matching the dreamlike ambiance of the lyrics. Coração Americano, acordei de um sonho estranho. That gently tinkling piano in the background is Herbie Hancock. In the second chorus the tempo solidifies, and Hancock no longer accompanies but pushes the rhythm. Nascimento responds by raising the intensity of his vocal. At the 3-minute mark, the song seems to be coming to a gentle conclusion on one of those beautiful arcing vocals in the stratosphere that Nascimento delivers so well. But this is only an April-in-Paris fake-out. After a brief pause, the piano-guitar vamp returns, then the energy level kicks up into high, high, high gear. Hancock delivers one of the most spirited solos of his career, a real gem. There are so many aspects to this pianist that it's easy to forget at how good Herbie is at delivering an old-fashioned groove. Remember "Watermelon Man" and "Cantaloupe Island"? Well, this is similar, though less R&B-ish and more diatonic, but above all more Brazilian in feeling . . . yet still intoxicatingly intense. This sounds like a Herbie Hancock who grew up in Minas Gerais instead of Chicago. There is no reprise of the vocal, but that was a wise decision. After all, how could you top such a piano outing? This one will hit you like the third caipirinha on an empty stomach.

What is a betterment?
A betterment is a specific type of public improvement undertaken by the City of Boston Public Works Department. The laying out of and construction of new streets and upgrading of sidewalks are considered betterments. Repaving or replacing streets, sidewalks and sewers are NOT considered betterments.
Why am I being billed?
State law allows the City to assess the cost of a betterment to affected taxpayers. Usually, properties that abut the betterments are assessed. For each betterment, a lien that specifies the estimated amount of assessment for each affected property had been filed with the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds.
How are betterments determined?
Individual assessments are based on the overall cost of the betterment and parcel-specific factors such as length of frontage and the land area of the parcel.
The assessed owner had up to six months to petition the Public Improvements Commission for an abatement.
What are the payment options?
You may pay the bill within thirty days without penalty.
Payments should be made to the City of Boston and mailed ONLY to the following address:
City of Boston
Office of the Collector-Treasurer
P. O. Box 9711
Boston, MA 02114
After thirty days, interest will accrue on any unpaid balance at the rate of seven (7) percent per year. Beginning with the next fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) the unpaid balance will be added to your annual Third Quarter property tax bill (issued in late December) as a special assessment. The special assessment, plus interest, will be spread over a ten-year period. You have the option to spread out the payments over a longer period of time, up to twenty years. To do so, contact the City of Boston Assessing Department before November 1.
Do you have any additional questions?
For questions regarding abatement or how your tax bill was determined, contact the Public Improvement Commission:

Marmot Graphics
Multimedia graphics describes media, mainly, visual in character, typically saved, sent and displayed digitally for example computer produced images or motion graphics. Multimedia graphics may make reference to a wide compendium of media, for example digital art, photography, renderings of three dimensional models, both business office furniture is instantly as present in games in addition to pre-made images, effects simulations, computer produced movies, or electronically taken live action movies.
Usage and Application
Multimedia graphics has lots of programs, we come across it getting used in a number of industries, most of which I list below.
Entertainment Industry
The most conspicuous utilization of designer office chairs uk is incorporated in the entertainment industry. The majority of the movies created today, whether live action footage, or computer produced animation, are digital in character, and make extensive utilization of multimedia graphical tools for his or her production. Even just in live action movies, electronically produced graphics can be used to boost the visual experience using spectacular computer produced effects.
Another area we generally encounter digital multimedia graphics is advertising. Agencies use both print ads and motion graphics which are produced by digital artists, to advertise their product. Even print ads, despite standing on physical paper or advertisements, are produced using digital tools.
Newspapers use digital graphics, by means of photographs utilized in their articles, or electronically produced info-graphics. Using the creation of digital delivery of news and journals, newspapers use more interactive or animated digital graphics to provide news prepared to the visitors of their online models.
Multimedia graphics produced by utilization of Computer Assisted Design (CAD) tools, are utilized extensively within the engineering industry to visualise engineering models and structures in three dimensional, in addition to produce digital versions of 2D traditional engineering diagrams.
Scientific Research
Multimedia Graphics find extensive use within the study industry to visualise new concepts and sophisticated simulations. The current motion graphics simulations from the 'god-particle' coming from scientists at CERN really are a typical illustration of this kind of use of electronically produced multimedia graphics.
Creation of Multimedia Graphics
Generation of digital graphics, mainly, involves using digital software by digital artists. Highly specialized and industry specific content creation software are available for sale. In the largest level, multimedia graphics, could be classified into 2D graphics three dimensional graphics.
2D Graphics Tools
2D graphics tools, produce graphics that don't involve manipulation from the dimension of depth. Photo editing, abstract digital art, movie editing, are good examples of 2D graphics. 2D graphics may further be classified into raster and vector graphics.
Raster Graphics: By far probably the most ubiquitous form any multimedia graphic, raster graphics refers back to the representation of the image, also known as a bitmap, within the type of an oblong matrix or power grid of colored squares, or pixels. Most digital graphics are symbolized by doing this, whether it's a single image, or perhaps a assortment of fast paced images as with a film. Good examples of raster graphics tools are movie editing software like Adobe Premier and photo or image editing software for example Illustrator.
Vector Graphics: Vector graphics employ geometrical primitives for example points, lines, curves and polygons to represent 2D imagery. It is dependant on enter mathematical pathways, curves and strokes, through control points. By adjusting these control points and also the character from the lines or strokes hooking up them, intricate 2D imagery could be created. Engineering software like AutoCAD, and artistic tools for example CorelDraw are good examples of 2D vector graphics tools. Observe that once completed, vector graphics tools typically permit them to be 'rendered' or transformed into raster graphic images.
3D Graphics
3D graphics requires the additional dimension of depth, employed for engineering, scientific and architectural visualizations, three dimensional video games, and computer produced three dimensional animation movies. Solid modeling engineering tool ProE, architectural design tools like Google Sketchup, and three dimensional modeling and animation software 3DSMax, are good examples of probably the most generally used three dimensional graphics tools.

Green Committee 2
Closing Reception
26 March 2001
Assembly Hall,
Green Committee 2
Opening Remarks
CERES, Green Committee 2
Thank you for attending todays final meeting of the Green-2 Committee, at which, we will be handing to Dr. Warren Vander Hill our Final Report. We have placed, at the front of the room, a number of illustrations from that document, including a listing of the Talloires Declaration tenets, samples of the Action Item Matrices, the Action Item Categories and the Action Item Tear Sheets collectively developed by the Green-2 Committee membership.
With that as a brief overview and with
the reports in hand, it is now my privilege to ask Dr. Vander Hill to step
to the podium so that we may formally present the final recommendations
from Green-2.
On behalf of the members of the Green-2 Committee, I am pleased to provide you with this summary report itemizing the good work of the 94 members you appointed to this mission. We feel confident that if the University can take action on these recommendations, Ball State can continue to move forward with supporting and indeed modeling environmental stewardship.return to top
Provost's Remarks
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
Our agenda today is to provide time and appropriate ceremony to the formal acceptance of your final Green-2 Committee report. I recognize from the interactions and conversations that I have had with the Committee leadership that each of you has contributed a great deal of time to this adventure. Today I want to thank you, individually and collectively, for your service to the mission of this University-wide Committee. And, of course, this is a chance for me also to share my initial response to the many recommendations contained in your report.
I can assure you that as a University, we will remain committed to the concerns embedded in the charge given to your committee, and want to support the follow-through on this splendid work.
To begin, Id like to thank the Committee Co-Chairs, the Resource Persons, the Subcommittee Chairs -- in short, the full Steering Committee for their leadership; it has been invaluable. You have succeeded in this task far beyond my wildest green dreams. Indeed, you should know, if your ears have been ringing, that I have used bits and pieces about your work as I have heard about it over the last few months as personal talking points with our trustees, President Brownell, external reviewers of our departments and programs, and fellow provosts and academic VPs.
Equally important to this work, of course, has been the full Subcommittee membership. In securing broad University and Muncie community representation, your ranks grew to a count of 94. Your Final Report clearly reflects that breadth of input. To each of you, thank you for serving as a member of Green-2. As an aside and as a small token of appreciation, I agreed to a recommendation that we produce a series of coffee cups with the Green-2 logo. Each of you will receive one of these; it will not only be a reminder of your hard work, but of my appreciation for the time you have taken in service to this Committee.
Now, let me provide a few specific comments. In a university setting, all members of the academic community -- faculty, staff and students -- have a role to play in Greening of the Campus, as does the institution itself in its operations, practices and day-to-day stewardship of resources, not the least of which is its human resource. Clearly, for the institution to advance sustainability, it must encourage multiple points of involvement (in entrepreneurial fashion).
In this spirit I am accepting many of your recommendations, and I have decided to take the following actions:
1. Provide incentives for University-wide participation.More specifically:
1. It is clear that members of the University community must continue to move forward individually and collaboratively -- colleague to colleague, within department and collegiate families, and among branches of the administrative vice president reportages.
To enable the entrepreneurial spirit within
these units to flourish, summer stipends will be made available to enable
interested members of the Green-2 Committee and/or other faculty to step
forward and advance their particular initiatives.
2. We will also establish the Ball State
University Council on the Environment: A University-Wide Clearinghouse
for Sustainability Initiatives. It will use the acronym BSU/COTE.
Membership in the Council will comprise representation from each of the
academic colleges and vice presidential areas. The Council will include
student and Muncie community representation. This will provide an
institutionalized body to continue the work of Green-2. The Council
will be staffed with an appointed Chair who will report to me and will
oversee the staff persons charged with supporting activities for and disseminating
information from the Council. I am pleased to announce that Bob Koester
has accepted this appointment and will be able to provide the needed continuity
as the Greening of the Campus work moves forward. This representational
structure will provide a single point-of-access for information regarding
activities campus-wide.
3. In support of this group, I am asking
the Center for Energy Research/Education/ Service staff to serve as the
operational Secretariat for administrative support. This will meet
the action called for in Tenet #10 of the Talloires Declaration.
Staffing of the Secretariat through an existing University unit will enable
immediate follow-through on the administrative and operational needs of
the Council membership once it is appointed.
In addition to this support, I also want to act on several of your other recommendations:
First, I shall provide funding for the appointment of a Green Development Specialist who will be positioned in the Office of Academic Research and Sponsored Programs to work with each and every one of you and others across campus as we proceed to develop outside funding requests and program development initiatives flowing out of the recommendations of Green-2. Jim Flowers from the department of Industry and Technology has accepted an appointment to this post.
Second, I shall support the appointment of a Green Initiatives Coordinator. This person will initially help facilitate the implementation of the items of immediate emphasis recommended in the Report. I am pleased to note that John Vann of the Department of Marketing has accepted appointment to this position.
This summer I intend to convene a briefing with other vice presidents within the University as well as President Brownell (who I must note, has been apprised of the Committees work as it has progressed) in order to more fully review your report with my colleagues in the University administration.
This fall, of course, we have built into the Greening of the Campus IV Conference presentation opportunities to share the work of your Committee with those that will attend this international gathering. In fact, we have extended the largest number of paper acceptances in the history of these conferences, and anticipate a successful meeting.
As opportunity permits, I will give further consideration to other recommendations you have made, but for now, these initiatives will help move your work forward and establish the next phase of implementation in our Greening of the Campus.
G2 Exemplar Presentation
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
In closing, I thought it appropriate for the University, through Green-2, to extend its appreciation to a member of the larger Muncie community for his tireless efforts in securing the health of our White River watershed for current generations and those yet to come. As indicated in Tenet #5 of the Talloires Declaration, which states Set an example of environmental responsibility by establishing institutional ecology policies and practices of resource conservation, recycling, waste reduction, and environmentally sound operations, he truly is an Exemplar. If John Craddock would step forward at this time, we have a brief presentation.
On behalf of Ball State University and the Green-2 Committee, we have prepared the first ever Green-2 Exemplar Certificate of Recognition. You will note that it is signed by our University President, Provost (thats me) and members of the G-2 Steering Committee -- the Planning Group and Subcommittee Chairs. Let me read the inscription:
In recognition of your pioneering work and lifetime commitment to protecting the WhiteJohn, thank you for your work -- especially for serving this academic year as a member of Green-2.
It is now my pleasure to ask one of our colleagues, Barb Stedman, to help close our session today with a brief reading from the work of Rachel Carson.
English, Green Committee 2
The Students - Subcommittee Chair
Your generation must come to terms with the environment. Your generation must face realities instead of taking refuge in ignorance and evasion of truth. Yours is a grave and a sobering responsibility, but it is also a shining opportunity. You go out into a world where mankind is challenged, as it has never been challenged before, to prove its maturity and its masterynot of nature, but of itself. Therein lies our hope and our destiny. In today already walks tomorrow.
- Rachel Carson, in her commencement address to Scripps College in 1962
The Future of G2
Marketing, Green Committee 2
Planning Committee
Given the positive response by Dr. Vander Hill to the recommendations of the Green-2 Committee, the future looks bright. With the creation of the Council on the Environment: A Clearinghouse for University-wide Sustainability Initiatives, the designation of an Administrative Secretariat in CERES, the appointment of a Green Funding Specialist and a Green Initiatives Coordinator, and the provision of Grant Writing Stipends, much can be accomplished.
We are very pleased with this commitment by the administration to support the recommendations of the Green-2 Committee and the continuing opportunity for members of both the University and Muncie communities to participate in that emerging work.
We would ask at this time that you turn
your attention to the signup sheets for declaring that continuing interest.
We also have provided evaluation forms that you can use to provide feedback
on the organization and operations of Green-2.
Personal Interest Form (involve.pdf

Thank you again for attending todays ceremonial
closure to the work of the Green-2 Committee and the launching of the Implementation
of the Talloires Declaration at Ball State University.

According to a recent article in the Press-Register by Dan Murtaugh, Mobile County plans to hold a special election to fill a vacancy on the Mobile County Commission. That vacancy is expected in the event current District 2 commissioner Steve Nodine is convicted at his impeachment trial scheduled for June 8th. But, is a special election to fill that vacancy constitutional?
The paper reported Monday, "Mobile County Probate Court Judge Don Davis and a spokesman for Gov. Bob Riley both said that the seat would remain vacant until the winner of the special election takes office. No one would be appointed in the interim." State law it seems provides the vacancy be filled by a special election held 60 to 90 days after the presumed removal and or resignation of Commissioner Nodine.
The law cited in the article is Act 2006-342 and it was signed by Gov. Riley in April of 2006. The new law was born out of the legal wrangling that ensued over Riley's appointment in 2005 of Juan Chastang to the Mobile County Commission. The appointment was illegal in the minds of least three members of Mobile County's legislative delegation, Yvonne Kennedy, James Buskey and William Clark. The three legislators filed suit, the ultimate aim of which was to invalidate Chastang's appointment and force a special election.
The case became know as Riley v Kennedy and it went all the way to the Alabama Supreme Court, which ruled in Riley's favor. That decision was appealed to Federal District Court which ruled in favor of Kennedy. Another appeal and the case came before the United States Supreme Court. In it's decision Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsberg writing for the 7-2 majority effectively affirmed the governors authority under state law as it then existed to appoint a replacement to any vacancy that arose on the Mobile County Commission.
While Riley v Kennedy was going through the courts however, legislation was passed and signed by the Governor that repealed the law which provided for an appointment in the event of a vacancy and replaced it with Act 2006-342, which proscribed a special election instead. According to Alabama Attorney General Troy King the new law essentially reinstated a 1985 law that had also provided for a special election. The 1985 law was Act No. 85-237. Under it current Mobile Mayor Sam Jones was elected to his first term on the Commission in 1987, representing District-3.
A fellow named Willie Stokes sued to invalidate Jones' election. Stokes contended that a special election in Mobile County violated §§ 104(29) and 105 of the Constitution of Alabama because it was a local law pertaining to elections, which is prohibited and, because a general law already existed laying out the process for filling a vacancy. In 1988 Alabama's Supreme Court sided with Stokes ruling Jones' election unconstitutional because it violated the section of the constitution that prohibits special laws that conflict with the general law. In other words state law said the governor is to appoint a replacement in the case of a vacancy on the Mobile County Commission and Mobile County could not have it's own law to the contrary.
The Supreme Court however, did not address Stokes's contention that the 1987 special election violated § 104(29) of the Alabama Constitution which prohibits special, private, or local law for the conduct of elections, period. In 2006 the legislature passed and the governor signed a law specifically for Mobile County which seems to have done just that. Also, the law Governor Riley signed, 2006-342, is essentially the same law the state's Supreme Court struck down in 1988. Ultimately, to settle the controversy over Sam Jones' election and subsequent removal, then Governor Guy Hunt appointed Jones to the District 3 seat. The question all this raises is, in the absence of an amendment to the state's constitution, sections 104 & 105, how can a special law such as the one passed in 2006 be any more constitutional than the one the state's high court struck down in 1988?

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Former Oregon All-American Jessica Moore and current sophomore Cheridan Hawkins led the USA Softball Women's National Team to a round robin victory over Cuba in the Mayor's Cup Thursday evening. Moore and Hawkins combined to allow just five hits and one earned run in a 4-1 victory against Cuba.
USA will face Cuba again for the second time in as many days today at 10 a.m. (PT) for the Gold Medal Game. Due to the weather delays, the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds Canada and Puerto Rico will face off for third place, while the No. 1 and No. 2 seeded USA and Cuba move to the Championship Game.
Moore, Oregon's best pitcher in program history, earned the start in the circle and pitched into the fourth inning in a winning effort. The Sutter, Calif., native tallied one strikeout and allowed just one earned run on four hits before being relieved by her teammate with one out remaining in the fourth frame.
Hawkins earned the save in dominate fashion. She allowed just one hit and got the final 10 outs of the game with eight strikeouts to slam the door shut on Cuba.
Team USA scored a single run in the first three innings and another in the sixth to advance to the gold medal game.

Announce: Blip, a bytecode compiler for Python 3 (implemented in Haskell)
Bernie Pope <florbitous <at> gmail.com>
I'm pleased to announce Blip version 0.1.0, a bytecode compiler for Python 3.
Blip compiles Python 3 source files to bytecode. The output bytecode is compatible with the CPython interpreter (the "standard" Python implementation).
For example, given a Python 3 source file called foo.py, the command:
blip foo.py
produces a bytecode file called foo.pyc. The bytecode can be executed by passing it as an argument to a CPython interpreter:
python3 foo.pyc
This is an early development release of Blip, so it is not ready for serious use, however it supports most of the Python 3 language already.
It has been tested on OS X 10.7.5 with GHC 7.4.2. The output has been tested with Python 3.3.0.
Currently implemented features:
Features not yet implemented (but are on the way):

The topic was goalies, and Paul Maurice has coached a lot of them in parts of 14 seasons as an NHL head coach.
"I played Arturs Irbe 72 games one year — and didn't get committed," Maurice joked.
Actually, Maurice gave Irbe 75 starts in 1999-00, and 76 the next season, then reached a Stanley Cup Final with Irbe and Tom Barrasso a year after that.
How he intends to use Ondrej Pavelec and Al Montoya is all that matters to Jets fans.
Giving Pavelec the start in his first game behind the bench would suggest Maurice's No. 1 is the same as former coach Claude Noel's No. 1.
Noel would go out of his way to say that Pavelec was his starter, even as the Czech went on a losing streak and Montoya got on a roll this season.
"There is no hard and fast truth," Maurice said. "We need a guy to step up. Don't care who it is. But I also know the guy who isn't getting the net, I believe in him, too. I've seen them both play well."
Maurice's recent history, too, suggests he rides the starter, hard: in four of his last five seasons as a bench boss in Carolina and Toronto, the more frequently used goalie had at least 64 starts.
Their names: Cam Ward (74 and 68 starts), Vesa Toskala (64) and Andrew Raycroft (71).
"You get a guy that's going, you can run with him," Maurice said. "But you can't leave the other guy sit for too long."
Like Noel, the Jets' new boss would like to tighten his team up, defensively, to alleviate some of the pressure on whomever's between the pipes.
"I'd like them not to have to play so well to win games," Maurice said. "Coaches and goaltenders are the same: we both need to be good. If I can't put the structure in front of him, he can't win. And if he doesn't stop the puck, I can't win. So we're entwined."

Freeciv binaries for (Open)Solaris
By Frederic Pariente-Oracle on May 17, 2009
Civilization® is one of these mythical and addictive strategy video games that many of us in IT have played, well into the night. The original Sid Meier's Civilization game, now in it fourth version, runs on Windows only. If you are running any flavor of Unix --Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris-- instead, you have the alternative of playing Freeciv, an open-source strategy game based on the gameplay of Civilization II.
Since Solaris 10, which comes blunded with the GNU developer stack --read gcc, g++, gmake-- and Gnome 2 --read lib glib and gtk+ 2.0--, Freeciv --read, the default GTK+ 2.0 client-- compiles out-of-the-box on Solaris. The Solaris 2.5 recommendation to built a Xaw client and notes about the Xpm library, that you can find in the
INSTALL file of the Freeciv distribution, are now obsolete.
You can access my Solaris build for the latest 2.1.9 version at http://opensolaris.free.fr/. It has tested to work --well, to start, I have not actually played it-- on Solaris 10 Update 7 and OpenSolaris 2008.11 --both running under VirtualBox 2.2.2 by the way-- as you can see from the snapshots below. Instructions are pretty simple:
- download the zip archive
- as root,
- run

S/T Demo
April 2007
Released: 2006, Self-released
Rating: 3.0/5
Reviewer: Luxi Lahtinen
When it comes to metal of all kinds, Mexico has always been a great country for introducing metal bands for many decades. Unfortunately, some Mexican bands have been left relatively unknown, and never made any breakthroughs for a bigger audience for some reason or another.
Hopefully, that will not be the destiny for this young Mexican five piece named Tormentor. The band combines Thrash Metal with traditional Heavy Metal, which they do pretty well actually. The band was formed around middle of 2005, so these guys have had enough time to shape their guns for their first, full scale strike, which they also managed to do pretty convincingly with their fire power for some catchy and well-churned out metal.
The first thing a listener will direct his/her attention to on this demo, is Omar´s vocals because his melodic signing style has some elements that brings to mind ex-Iced Earth´s vocalist Matt Barlow. The man obviously has skills for signing even if he is no match for Matt´s voice as far as his overall vocal range is concerned. The second thing that everybody surely pays attention to is the band's ability to meld bits from both Thrash - and traditional Heavy Metal together pretty effortlessly and painlessly. Muscular Thrash -riffs combined with melodies of Heavy Metal create a sort of winner´s recipe on this 4-song demo that many should undoubtedly find pretty appealing for themselves. Sure, many other bands do that very well these days, too, but I guess this is the first time for me to hear a band from Mexico to do it so well, nailing down all those bites and bits into their sound in such a nice and pleasing way. "Night of the Living Dead", the last song on the demo, proves it loud and clear that Tormentor are nearly pro-masters of this ´mixing-Thrash-with-HM´ game which should prove good for them with their next release(-s).
I guess it can already be proclaimed with an open mind that we will hear from them much more in the future - not probably today or tomorrow, neither next week nor next month, but certainly sometime in the future. ;o)

materiality assessment
In 2010 we completed a business wide process to reassess the key material issues that will increasingly impact business performance and influence decisions within our organisation. This assessment identified the most material issues which formed the basis for our 12 sustainability commitments.
We engaged outside consultants who facilitated the process and incorporated the views of over 300 Rexam employees across the business. In addition, we included a comprehensive review of Rexam's top customers and competitors' published sustainability information to establish common themes and their publicly stated issues of significant concern. We also interviewed a small selection of stakeholders, representing investors, customers, suppliers, retailers and NGOs.
A two day workshop was held at the end of 2010 to discuss and agree the material sustainability issues facing Rexam and to begin the discussion on appropriate actions, mitigations and targets to the extent possible. An important part of the workshop was a 'futures briefing' which outlined the various environmental, economic and social mega trends looking 20+ years ahead.
materiality workshop outputs
We created 'materiality matrices', split into four quadrants (based on high or low impact on Rexam and of greater or lesser concern to stakeholders), for Rexam globally, and by business unit.
Whilst all these issues are seen to be important to Rexam this analysis helped us to identity the ones which were most material to our business:
- NGO/policymaker pressure
- eco design communication
- material usage
- energy efficiency
- resource use
- customer expectations
- product and process innovation
- emerging markets
- employee engagement
- talent management
- recycling and eco design
- corporate citizenship
We added safety, waste to landfill and our Code of Conduct because our senior management considered these to be additional critical areas for our long term future.
We grouped these issues into three topic themes (products, operations, people) which developed into our 12 commitments and are covered in detail in this report. We continue to monitor and discuss future scenarios to review and verify that these 12 commitments remain relevant and significant to the business.
stakeholder perspective:
Article 13
"Article 13 helps companies to identify their material issues; these are then integrated into business strategy. The culture change required to create behaviour change is of particular interest to us.
We worked with Rexam in 2010 to support and challenge them to analyse and review their materiality issues with the objective for the Rexam team to create an innovative and fit for purpose strategy that is linked into their business priorities.
The Rexam team impressed us with their commitment and deliberation during the process and taking the time to encourage and elicit a broad representation from both internal and external stakeholders. Rexam actively encouraged the inclusion of commercial stakeholders which is less usual and excellent practice. The resulting sustainability strategy is a reflection of this work."
