Today, Yahoo! is expected to release an online broadband service, called Games on Demand. This service is geared to provide subscribers with options for up to 10 games for 30 days. Like playing Grand Theft Auto 2, Hitman, or Tomb Raider? Plans range from US$4.95, to $14.95. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't mind this simple Try-Before-You-Buy approach.
After a one-time download of the Game Launcher, which allows games to be streamed to the desktop, players can choose how they rent the titles, either multi-game, monthly subscriptions or single, three-day rentals. "The play experience is the same as if you bought the CD-ROM off the shelf in the store," said Daniel Hart, senior director of Yahoo! Games and Entertainment.Check out the article at MSNBC.com!

WESTFIELD TWP. — Mansfield Madison senior Kobi Johnson will never forget his moment in the sun.
The Cloverleaf boys basketball team won't, either, for all the wrong reasons.
Johnson hit a driving layup as time expired Saturday, capping an epic comeback that gave the Rams a 53-51 non-league win.
The 6-foot-2 guard's heroics higlighted a 12-1 run by Madison (2-17) over the final 2½ minutes.
There are few more memorable ways to snap a 15-game losing streak.
"It hurts a lot," Cloverleaf coach Marty Ryan said. "It hurts a lot."
The Colts (4-15) led 50-41 after Adam Podolak (13 points) hit a 3-pointer in the corner. At that moment, there was no way they could have envisioned the impending collapse.
Cloverleaf's final seven possessions were as followed: ill-advised missed 3-pointer, clanked front end of a 1-and-1, turnover, charging foul, bricked front end of a 1-and-1, made 1-of-2 free throws and stepped out of bounds.
The final miscue allowed the Rams to steal victory from the jaws of defeat. A pick was set for Johnson, who caught the ball at the 3-point arc. With a defender riding his non-shooting hip, he drove almost virtually unopposed toward the hoop, avoided a steal attempt by Robby Buckwald and laid in the rock at the buzzer.
Mob celebration, commence.
"I just knew I wasn't going to stop," Johnson said with a broad smile after one of his teammates yelled, "Kobi Johnson for president."
A three-point play by Madison's Cody Harris made it 50-44. Johnson then canned four free throws over back-to-back possessions to make it 50-48 with 29.9 seconds — one pair came after he was fouled underneath the opposite basket — until Podolak split a 1-and-1 at 15.9 seconds.
Madison moved the ball to its end and called timeout. Coy Vantilburg grabbed the inbounds pass with his back to the basket and faked a handoff to Johnson.
Vantilburg then turned, stepped back and drilled a 3-pointer to tie the game with 8 seconds left.
The Colts inbounded quickly before Ryan called timeout. Podolak then curled and caught the ball, but stepped on the sideline with 3.8 ticks remaining to set up Johnson's heroics.
"We didn't finish," Ryan said.
It was a meltdown that was hard to fathom considering Cloverleaf's efficiency for the first 29½ minutes.
The Colts finished 16-of-30 (.533) from the floor, including 11-of-19 in the middle quarters, when they made 12-of-15 free throws. They also had 13 assists, with Buckwald, Buckholz, Brandon Johnson and Cliff Collyer each having two or more.
Buckwald finished with 14 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four blocks. Fellow senior Brandt Buckholz had seven points, seven boards and four steals, while junior backup Ryan O'Callaghan added a career-high 11 points.
Unfortunately for Cloverleaf, 29½ minutes of excellence were completely negated in just 2½.
"We were in position to win the ballgame," Ryan said. "We just didn't make the right choices."
Colts senior J.D. Schleich got the start in a token of appreciation on senior night. Buckholz won the tipoff and the referees stopped play so Schleich could receive an ovation as he walked off the court. Schleich, a two-year starter, has played in only one other game this season due to a shoulder injury.
Dillon Mullins had 22 points as Cloverleaf's junior varsity lost 61-53.

Harrington police are still searching for a second suspect involved in an assault on July 17 after arresting a 21-year-old Lewes resident in connection with the incident.
Nizsa S. Daisey was arrested after officers responded to an assault complaint on Cozy Wood Circle off of Corn Crib Road. Officers contacted a woman who reported that she was assaulted by Daisey and another suspect, according to Harrington Police Department spokesman Lt. Earl Brode.
Brode said Daisey allegedly hit the woman in the face several times, causing minor injuries.
Police obtained a warrant for Daisey, who later turned herself in to the Harrington Police Department.
Daisey is charged with offensive touching, disorderly conduct and third-degree conspiracy. She was arraigned and released on a $1,500 unsecured bond.

Root Beer Float Cookies RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon root beer concentrate
- 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1-1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon root beer concentrate
- In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and root beer concentrate. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
- Shape dough into 3/4-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, beat the filling ingredients until smooth. Spread on the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
Reviews for Root Beer Float Cookies
"I rolled the dough out to make cutouts. I found a cookie cutter in the shape of a Soda Glass which worked out just great. I put the frosting on top to look like foam from the Root Beer. They were an absolute with kids as well as adults. Taste like you were having a Root Beer Float!"
"Silkiepearls, I bought mine recently at Walmart. It is Watkins brand and it is in the same section with the vanilla extract, etc."
"where do you find root beer concentrate or extract?"
"I've made a number of Taste of Home recipes. I've wanted to try this one for a long time. Today, I finally did. I really like them.One thing I do not quite understand is the photo shows the filling as white. My filling was brown. I used Zatarain's root beer concentrate. Are there root beer concentrates that are lighter in colour?BTW - I made 22 cookie sandwiches with the recipe.."
"I agree with nanadean1 about the filling. The cookie has a great root beer flavor but there is no "float" to it. A vanilla filling would provide it. The cookie must be very small to get 30 portions. I only got 14 cookies that measured 2 1/2 inches which is a nice cookie size. Overall great flavor and texture. Thank you."

We like that the Marbella Floral Two Tone Sundress ($245) has a little bit of a bohemian vibe without going full-blown dreadlocks and bare feet. (Which is cool, we guess, if that's your thing. We're just not fond of dirty feet). This cute floral sundress is feminine and flirty. Plus, it has both shoulder ties and an elastic bodice--perfect for getting just the right fit. Now, we're off to book some outdoor summer concerts since we've found the perfect frock to wear!

The book is not about mistakes or learning from mistakes, but our favorite subject makes more than one appearance. Here's a short excerpt:
No matter how skilled people are, or how well designed and well executed the projects, problems and failures are inevitable in complex, creative work. We found that inner work life was much more positive when problems were faced squarely, analyzed, and met with plans to overcome or learn from them. Inner work life faltered when problems were ignored, punished, or handled haphazardly.
Learning from success mattered, too. Our participants' thoughts, feelings, and drives fared better when successes, even small ones, were celebrated and then analyzed for knowledge gained. They fared worse when success was ignored, or when its true value was questioned. [p 106]

Fanless MintBox PC Receives Price Cut, Makes It More-Competitive Intel NUC Alternative
Subject: Systems | February 3, 2013 - 02:32 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mintbox, mint, linux, fitpc3, compulab
The MintBox is a small form factor, fanless computer released in summer 2012. It was developed in collaboration between CompuLab and the Linux Mint project. At launch, the base model retailed for $476, but CompuLab has cut the price by almost $100 to kick off 2013.
The MintBox basic is powered by a dual core AMD G-T40N APU clocked at 1.0 GHz, 4GB of RAM, an APU-integrated Radeon G290 GPU, and 250GB hard drive. The system has a aluminum chassis that acts as a heatsink. It is essentially CompuLab's fitPC3 case with a few custom tweaks to add the Linux Mint logo. Further, it comes pre-loaded with the Linux Mint 13 operating system. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 radios are included as well as two mini-PCIe cards and one mSATA connector (for an SSD).
The front of the MintBox has four USB 2.0 ports surrounding the Mint logo. The rear of the MintBox includes the following connectivity options:
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x DisplayPort
- 1 x S/PDIF
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 2 x eSATA
- 1 x RS232 serial port
- 2 x external Wi-Fi antennas .
In many respects, the MintBox resembles a typical home wireless router, but it is actually a full PC. Before shipping and any applicatable taxes, the MintBox Basic is $379. Reportedly, 10% of the proceeds will go towards the Linux Mint project to assist with development of the open source operating system. While the hardware itself is not new, Mint and CompuLab are offering up a healthy discount which may bring it more in line with Intel's NUC systems. It may not be as fast, but it will cost less and is pre-configured unlike the DIY NUC.
Have you been looking to get a small form factor system? What do you think about a fanless box running Linux Mint for your next PC?
Recent gains in gaming on Linux
Subject: General Tech | January 28, 2013 - 05:42 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, Ivy Bridge, ubuntu 13.04
Phoronix has released a pair of reviews focusing on the graphical performance changes we have seen recently when gaming on a Linux system. The first looks at the last seven major kernel updates and how they changed the performance of Intel's HD4000 graphics core. The news is not great, in most cases the performance remained mostly unchanged and there are a few instances where the performance gain seen by kernel 3.4 have disappeared by 3.8 and in some cases it would make sense to wait until Mesa 9.1 arrives.
Their second article looks at the upcoming Ubuntu 13.04 release and the support the OS will have for AMD's GPUs straight out of the box with no customization. From there they move onto Intel's HD3000 graphics with good results to report. The new OS will not be out until April, but from what Phoronix has seen not only will this kernel handle discrete and integral GPUs well, the performance is the best they've seen yet.
"With the Intel Haswell product launch coming up soon, here's a look at how the Intel "Ivy Bridge" HD 4000 graphics support has matured on the seven most recent Linux kernel releases. This benchmarking shows how the performance of the Intel DRM driver has changed between the Linux 3.2 kernel and the Linux 3.8 kernel that's presently under development when using the integrated graphics found on the latest-generation Core i7 CPU."

CES 2013: Canonical Shows Off Ubuntu OS For Smartphones
Subject: Mobile | January 10, 2013 - 08:22 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ubuntu for phones, ubuntu, linux, ces 2013, CES, canonical
Earlier this month Canonical showed off a new version of its Ubuntu operating system intended for mobile phones. The Ubuntu for smartphones operating system is meant to extend the Ubuntu UI and UX to the smartphone screen. Canonical wants its OS to span from servers to phones and Ubuntu for phones is the latest step in that plan.
While there is no official hardware yet, the new operating system will be aimed at both low-end and high-end smartphones alike. It will support the standard array of smartphone functions–phone, sms, email, web browsing, and apps–along with the familiar Ubuntu user interface that is navigated by touch gestures. Ubuntu for phones will run on x86 and ARM hardware and is compatible with the Android Board Suppot Package. That means that users can actually run Ubuntu on many existing smartphones which are currently running Google's Android OS. Unlike Android, there is no Java VM, and the Ubuntu for phones operating system can run both HTML5 and native applications. At CES, Canonical demonstrated the OS using a Galaxy Nexus smartphone.
Ubuntu smartphones will feature a familiar Unity-like user interface with a number of tweaks to make it easier to navigate using a touchscreen. The OS will use a feature called Edge Magic, which includes swipe gestures inwards from each side of the phone to open applications, read notifications, change settings, and return to the home screen. Users can also use voice and text commands to control the smartphone. For example, users can swipe left to open the application launcher, drag from the left side to the right side of the screen to display all currently running apps, and drag up from the bottom to open application-specific settings. Swiping from the right acts as the 'back' function while dragging down from teh top opens the notifications and device-wide settings. There are no hardware buttons with Ubuntu for smartphones, and Canonical founder Mark Shuttlework has stated that keeping UI elements hidden until needed was a priority with Ubuntu for phones.
Ubuntu for phones is aimed at a wide range of smartphone hardware. On the low end, Ubuntu needs at least a dual-core ARM Cortex A9, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage. The budget smartphones will run native apps (ideally) faster than similar code on Android due to the apps being closer to the hardware. Multitouch will be supported but the destkop functionality when the phone is docked is not available. On the other hand, high end smartphones will be able to access a full Ubuntu desktop when the phone is docked along with a mouse and keyboard.
Additional features of Ubuntu for smartphones include global search of applications, content, and products, Deep Content Immersion, and personalized artwork on the welcome (lock) screen. Further, Ubuntu One cloud storage, enterprise management tool compatibility, and regular updates are also rolled into the operating system. Ubuntu does include scopes which are similar in function and aesthetics to desktop Ubuntu. The scopes include a list of applications, contacts, videos, and music (among others).
The following chart lists the recommended/referrence specifications for budget and premium smartphones running the Ubuntu mobile OS.
|Entry Level
|High End
|dual core Cortex A9
|quad core Cortex A9 or better
|1GB preferred
|minimum of 1GB
|4-8GB eMMC + SD card
|min 32GB eMMC + SD card
|Display Resolution

Interestingly, users of the Galaxy Nexus smartphone will be able to test drive Ubuntu for smartphones later this year by flashing their device with the new OS. As far as retail hardware with Ubuntu pre-installed, Canonical is reportedly working on developing partnerships with handset makers. Canonical hopes to being shipping devices begining in Q4'13 or Q1'14.
From the various video demonstrations of the Ubuntu for smartphones operating system, it appears extremely slick and user friendly. Curiously, Canoncial was not willing to let CES attendees go hands-on with the reference phone, which may mean that the operating system is not quite ready for prime time. Despite that hesitation, I do think that Ubuntu for smartphones shows a lot of promise as a mobile, touchscreen-controlled operating system.
It is certainly a project that I will be following closely. With the untimely hardware failure of my Nokia N900, I am in need of a new power user-friendly smartphone. And an Ubuntu-powered mobile sounds like the perfect upgrade for me!
What do you think about Canonical's latest venture?

SolidRun Launches CuBox Pro Miniature Desktop Computer
Subject: Systems | January 9, 2013 - 03:36 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ubuntu, solidrun, linux, desktop, cubox pro, cubox, computer
Israeli-startup SolidRun is launching an updated model of its CuBox mini PC called the CuBox Pro. The small desktop computer measures 2 x 2 x 2-inches and weighs a mere 91 grams. The CuBox Pro is not only small in size, it also sips a mere 3 watts at full load. It comes pre-loaded with Ubuntu Linux, but the CuBox Pro can be loaded with alternative operating systems by way of a microSD card. The hardware is nothing spectacular on the performance front, but it is capable of 1080p HD video playback. Interestingly, Youtube user rabeeh3000 reported that the CuBox Pro draws less than 2.5 Watts while playing a HD movie in XBMC.
Speaking of hardware, the CuBox Pro is powered by a Marvell ARMADA 510 SoC clocked at 800 MHz. It is supported by 2GB of DDR3 memory, and internal storage is handled by a microSD card slot.
Rear IO on the CuBox Pro includes two USB 2.0 ports, one HDMI video output, one eSATA connector, one Gigabit Ethernet port, DC power jack, and a single S/PDIF audio output on the side of the case. Further, the CuBox Pro has an infrared receiver, which will enable remotes to be used with media center software.
The CuBox Pro is slated to be available sometime in January for $159. Alternatively, the original CuBox with 1GB of DDR3 is available for $139. Admittedly, it is a bit pricey considering there are cheaper options like the Raspberry Pi but you are getting a complete OEM system (whereas you would have to add an SD card, USB infrared receiver, and case to the price of the Pi).
You can find more information abou the CuBox computer on the SolidRun website.
Valve Opens Steam for Linux Beta to General Public
Subject: General Tech | December 28, 2012 - 08:32 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: valve, ubuntu, steam, opengl, linux, gaming
Gamers were given an early holiday present last Friday when Valve announced it would be opening up its Steam for Linux beta to everyone. For the past few months the company has been testing out a version of its Steam client software intended to run on Ubuntu 12.04 Linux. Valve initially performed internal testing, and then proceeded to invite users to a closed beta. And now (finally), it seems that the company is comfortable enough with the applications stability that it can release it to the general public. While it is still very much beta software, it is actively being developed and improved.
Along with the move to a public beta, Valve is transitioning to GitHub to track changes and bug reports. Further, an apt repository is in the works, which should make installing and updating the Steam beta client easier, especially on non-Ubuntu distros (like Ubuntu forks). From the documentation available on the Steam website, it seems that apt-get install gdebi-coreand gdebi steam.debis still the preferred command line installation proceedure, however.
Further, Valve has fixed several issues in the latest Steam for Linux client. (Users that were in the closed beta will need to update). The company has improved the back navigation arrow placement and added discount timers and other UI tweaks to Big Picture Mode, for example. Valve has also fixed a bug concerning high CPU usage when playing Team Fortress 2 and an issue with the Steam overlay crashing while playing Cubemen.
Right now, the game selection is very limited, but the client itself is fairly stable. The traditional and Big Picture Mode UI are identical to the Windows version that many gamers are familiar with, which is good. Installation on Ubuntu was really easy, but I had trouble getting it to work with the latest version of Linux Mint. In the end, I was not able to use the CLI method, but the GUI instructions that Valve provides ended up working. At the moment Valve is only officially supporting the beta on Ubuntu, but it is likely to be expanded to other Debian forks as well as used in Valve's Steam Box console.
The full announcement can be found on the Steam Community site, and the repository files are located here. Another useful resource is the getting started thread on the Steam forums, where you can find help getting the client installed (especially useful if you are trying to install it on an alternative distro).
Have you used the Steam for Linux client yet? I'm excited to see more games and engines support the Linux OS, as that will be what will make or break it.
Could Dell finally awaken the Penguin with Linux powered XPS machines?
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | December 4, 2012 - 06:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: XPS 13, ultrabook, ubuntu 12.04, ubuntu, sputnik, linux, dell
Dell's XPS 13 Developer Edition is branded as an Ultrabook but it has two significant differences; a custom built Ubuntu distro and a price $250 higher than Dell's other Ultrabook offering. Those two points are somewhat interrelated as Dell will be offering support equivalent to Windows powered machines which means new training, procedures and staffing which can be expensive to set up. There is another reason the price is so high which is the hardware as, even the base model comes with a 256GB SSD; the rest of the hardware is pretty standard, an i7-3517U, 8GB DDR3 and no discrete video card. It is hard to say if sticking the Developer Edition moniker on the machine will encourage people to purchase this ultrabook, if you are curious check out more at The Inquirer.
"TIN BOX FLOGGER Dell's decision to put arguably its best laptop on sale preloaded with Ubuntu Linux shows not only how far desktop Linux has come but how far Microsoft has fallen.
Dell announced its Project Sputnik earlier this year to a warm if not ecstatic reception. The firm had preloaded Linux onto its consumer machines before but they were hard to find and on forgettable machines. However with the XPS 13 the firm is not only loading Linux on its most high profile laptop but showing that Microsoft's operating system isn't the only choice in town for OEMs and consumers alike."

A $250 Dual Core Cortex A15 powered Chromebook from Samsung
Subject: Mobile | November 23, 2012 - 07:59 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ubuntu, Chromebook, cortex a15, Samsung, linux, exynos 5
At $250 this Samsung Chromebook costs less than most tablets or phones but can outperform previous A9 powered models and the Atom D525 as well. The processor is Samsung's Exynos 5, a dual core A15 chip running at 1.7GHz with ARM's Mali-T604 graphics and is accompanied by 2GB of DDR3 and a 16GB SSD. It can be loaded with Ubuntu 13.04 and offers a compelling and inexpensive alternative to Sleekbooks and Ultrabooks as it weighs 2.5lbs and is 11.4" x 8.09" x 0.69" and promises over 6 hours of battery life. Check out how it performs at Phoronix.
"Google recently launched the Samsung Chromebook that for $249 USD features an 11-inch display, a 16GB SSD, a promise of 6.5-hour battery life, and is backed by a Samsung Exynos 5 SoC. The Samsung Exynos 5 packs a 1.7GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 processor with ARM Mali-T604 graphics. With using this new ARM Cortex-A15 chip plus the Samsung Chromebook not being locked down so it can be loaded up with a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or openSUSE, it was a must-buy for carrying out some interesting Cortex-A15 Linux benchmarks. The Exynos 5 Dual in this affordable laptop packs an impressive performance punch."

Netflix (Finally) Playable On Linux Using Patched Version of WINE
Subject: General Tech | November 17, 2012 - 10:53 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: wine, windows, ubuntu, silverlight, Netflix, linux, firefox
One of the major hurdles preventing me from switching to Linux completely (despite my love for Mint) has been Netflix support. While there is a Silverlight-equivalent called Moonlight for the Linux operating system, it does not support the necessary DRM aspects to facilitate Netflix Instant Streaming. Aside from installing VirtualBox and booting an instance of Windows (which basically defeats the purpose of switching), Linux users have not been able to stream Netflix shows.
Thanks to a Linux developer by the name of Erich Hoover, there is a ray of hope for Linux users that want to take advantage of the streaming side of their Netflix subscriptions. Using a patched version of WINE (Wine Is Not An Emulator), Firefox, and an older version of Microsoft Silverlight, he was able to get Netflix streaming to work without breaking the DRM. That's good news as it means that even though it is not officially supported, Netflix is not likely to actively break or fight it.
Netflix Instant Streaming running on Ubuntu 12.10 (32-bit).
Currently, it has been tested on the 32-bit version of Ubuntu 12.10, but other distros are likely to work as well. Users will need to compile WINE from source, apply five patches, and then install Firefox 14.0.1 and Silverlight 4. Right now, there is no GUI or pre-compiled version, and at least the first few steps require the use of the terminal. Thankfully, I Heart Ubuntu has put together a step-by-step guide outlining exactly what you need to type into the terminal to get Netflix streaming up and running. The site notes that the WINE patching process could take a good chunk of time if you are on an older computer. Further, Silverlight 5 does not work, so using the older version is necessary.
This is great news for the Linux community, and along with the Steam for Linux beta things are definitely looking up and moving in a positive direction for the open source operating system. Obviously, this is far from native support, but it is a huge improvement over previous workarounds. A PPA is also reportedly in the works to make the installation of the patched WINE version even easier for those not comfortable with the terminal. Until then, check out the I Heart Ubuntu guide for the full setup details.
The developer asks that you donate to the WINE Development Fund if you find his Netflix support patches useful.

Limited Linux Steam Client Beta Begins With 26 Games and Big Picture Mode
Subject: General Tech | November 7, 2012 - 07:58 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: valve, ubuntu 12.04, ubuntu, steam, linux, gaming
The developers at Valve have been hammering away at a Linux version of its popular Steam client and software distribution service.While Windows is currently the dominant platform, CEO Gabe Newell has shown his displeasure at with Windows 8 and the Windows Store such that development has been expedited to support the alternative operating systems and port Valve's own titles to the platforms. Last month, Valve announced a limited public beta would start soon, and that it was taking applications.
That beta is now in effect, with a small subset of the total 60,000 applications the company received being invited to participate in the beta build. Intended for Ubuntu 12.04, the Linux for Steam beta includes the client itself, and several surprising additions (that were previously thought to not be included). Big Picture Mode and 26 games will be part of the Linux beta.
Big Picture Mode is Valve's 10-foot interface for the Steam client. It is designed to work well with remote or controller such that Steam functionality and games can be easily accessed from the couch with Steam on the living room TV. (I took a look at Big Picture Mode earlier this year if you are curious about what the interface looks like.)
The list of games includes:
- Amnesia: The Dark Descent
- And yet it Moves
- Aquaria
- The Book of Unwritten Tales
- Cogs
- Cubemen
- Darwina
- Dungeons of Dredmor
- Dynamite Jack
- eversion
- Frozen Synapse
- Galcon Fusion
- Serious Sam 3: BFE
- Solar 2
- SpaceChem
- Space Pirates and Zombies
- Steel Storm: Burning Retribution
- Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
- Team Fortress 2
- Trine 2
- Uplink
- Uplink/Darwinia Pack
- Unity of Command: Stalingrad Campaign
- Waveform
- World of Goo
- World of Goo Demo
Needless to say, there are a number of games more than the previously expected TF2, though Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 are noticeably absent (as are the rest of the Valve/Source collection). Space Pirates and Zombies is sure to suck some productivity out of Linux users' days, however!
Valve has stated that additional users will be added to the beta from the pool of applicants over time. The company is also looking at making the Linux client available to other Linux distributions as well (even HML?). If you want a chance at getting into the beta, Valve is still accepting new applications via this survey (you need to log in with your Steam credentials).

Tagged: servers, linux foundation, linux, hp, hardware
The Linux Foundation announced today that PC OEM Hewlett-Packard (HP) is upgrading its membership status to Platinum – highest level of membership. HP joins Fujitsu, IBM, Intel, NEC, Oracle, Qualcomm Innovation Center, and Samsung.
As a Platinum member, HP will have a seat on the Linux Foundation's Board of Directors and will be able to influence the future direction of the organization. Reportedly, the OEM is making Linux a priority and is looking to further integrate the open source software into its hardware offerings. For $500,000 a year, HP will also be given priority at events like LinuxCon. HP's branding will also be on the Linux Foundation site and as sponsors at any events.
According to Jim Zemlin, the executive director of The Linux Foundation:
"With one of the richest and most recognized stories in technology, HP has a history of innovation and market success. Because of this history and innate knowledge of software development, HP understands that Linux and collaborative development can benefit its business across its product portfolio. We're looking forward to the work we can accomplish with HP."
It is certainly an interesting move, and hopefully one that means HP wants to commit more to the direction of Linx and its adoption on HP hardware. You can find the full press release on the Linux Foundation's website.

'Life Without Principle' to Compete at Venice
Hong Kong's acclaimed film director Johnnie To is heading to Venice once again.
His latest movie, "Life Without Principle," will be screened as part of the Venice International Film Festival, which starts on Aug. 31, as one of the 22 films vying for awards in the competition.
This will be the fourth time Mr. To has shown at the Italian fest: "Mad Detective" and "Exiled" were screened in 2007 and 2006, respectively, and participated in the competition. In 2004, his film "Throw Down" was screened but did not compete.

- Review: Nick Cave Movie Biopic '20,000 Days on Earth'
- A Chinese Awards Show Gets a Hollywood Welcome
- Chinese Blogger Han Han Takes His Writing to the Big Screen
- To Film 'Wolf Totem,' French Director Raised Chinese Wolves
Mr. To, who is best known internationally for his action thrillers, is taking a less flashy route with his latest work. The movie, set in Hong Kong, touches on familiar themes of moral dilemmas that surface when money, friendships and family collide, set against the backdrop of the 2008 financial crisis.
"Life Without Principle" is about how a bag of 5 million Hong Kong dollars (US$640,000) unites three unlikely characters in need of money: a bank teller who is forced to sell high-risk securities to meet her sales target, a small-time thug who tries his hand with futures trading for easy money to bail out a friend in jail, and a policeman who is desperate for cash once he finds out his wife has put a down payment on an apartment that he can't afford.
Given the downturn in the markets and the economic uncertainty, as well as Hong Kong's rising property prices, this film could touch a nerve once it screens in his hometown. No date has been given yet for the movie's wide release.

Most stained, dirty underwear is discreetly tossed in the trash. But when it once belonged to the King, well, it gets people all shook up.
The BBC reports an unwashed pair of Elvis Presley's light-blue briefs, worn under one of his sassy white jumpsuits in 1977, is set to hit the auction block in Greater Manchester, England, next month, and it's expected to fetch £10,000—about $15,800. That's one big hunk o' burning love.
Presley's own Holy Bible, which includes handwritten notes and underlining, will also be up for auction, with sale-price estimates set at £25,000, or $39,500, according to the BBC.
A chance at winning the King's underwear and his Bible? We can't help falling in love with that idea.

If you are a District rate payer, your interests include receiving clean, reliable water and wastewater services at a reasonable cost from the Marina Coast Water District (MCWD). It's also in your interest to receive great customer service and easily accessible water conservation advice from the District. And it's in your interest to have a Board of Directors that is honest, trusted, courteous, respected and fiscally responsible.
Elect me on November 6th and I will promote your interests. I'll demand that Cal Am reimburse the District for the millions of your dollars the that were spent on the failed Regional Desalination Project. I'll work to restore courteous behavior on the Board and oppose the playing of petty political games. I'll vote to have Board meetings recorded and made available to you on AMP and on the Internet. I'll show respect for ratepayers, the public, District employees and board members. And I'll work to restore the great reputation that the District Board once enjoyed with other government agencies, the media and the public.
In the years that I previously served as a member of the District Board, I consistently supported your interests. I voted against the extraordinary employment contract for the District General Manager, which included among other things, a base salary higher that that of the Governor of California, four retirement plans and health care for life at District expense. I promoted water conservation and voted for information and control systems to ensure you get excellent service. I supported projects to detect and reduce the seawater threat to our groundwater and to ensure continued access to this low cost water source. I opposed giveaways of your money and worked for good relationships with surrounding cities and districts.
Your support, vote and contribution will be much appreciated in November!

Comments on the Resignation of Steve Collins from the Board of the Monterey County Water Resources Agency: Steve Collins, a member of the Board of Directors of the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, was forced to resign from that board due to an alleged financial conflict of interest involving him and a contractor that Marina Coast Water District was paying for work on the Regional Desalination Project. Allegations were made and appeared in the press that Marina Coast Water District was involved in making payments to the contractor that were for work performed by Mr. Collins. It is still unclear whether or not the Marina Coast Water District or any of its employees or board members have any legal liability related to the Steve Collins alleged conflict of interest issue. However, it does looks like either a serious ethical lapse or serious incompetence to pay invoices from a contractor that contained significant amounts of money ($180,000) to be paid to Mr. Collins while he served on the Board of the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, a partner in the Regional Desalination Project. The MCWD Board of Directors should have thoroughly investigated this issue when it first arose and should have taken appropriate corrective action. Unfortunately it appears that the District did too little, too late in this regard -- the conflict of interest issue was one reason for the failure of the Regional Desalination Project.
Sufficient Water Supply: Unlike the California-American Water Company service area on the Monterey Peninsula, Marina Coast Water District (MCWD), serving Marina and the Ord Community, have been blessed with access to water from the Salinas Valley Groundwater Basin. While this Basin currently faces a number of challenges, it presently serves us with a sufficient quantity of inexpensive water. Our District continues to help the Monterey County Water Resources Agency address the basin challenges that exist.
Growth is a Challenge: In the past, the land use jurisdictions in Monterey County enabled population growth at a rapid pace. This inevitably increased the demand for water from the Salinas Valley Groundwater Basin and from adjoining areas such as the Carmel River and Seaside water basin. These increased demands have led to some damage to these water sources. Local water agencies such as Marina Coast Water District (MCWD) have responded to these problems by increasing investments in conservation and looking to develop new sources of water. The Marina Coast Water District (MCWD) has been particularly proactive in this regard: it built the first publicly owned ocean water desalination plant on the Central Coast and one of the first tertiary wastewater treatment plants in the region. There is a certified EIR that covers a project to deliver desalinated and reclaimed water to the Ord Community. The District was also a partner in the Regional Desalination project that failed in the past year. Now MCWD ratepayers may be unable to recover millions of dollars already spent on this project and the California-American Water Company service area on the Monterey Peninsula could be in serious trouble in just a few years.
New Sources of Water: All the projects to develop new sources of water have two common characteristics:
- They are expensive.
- They are legally, technically, environmentally and politically complex.
When choosing your Board Directors for the Marina Coast Water District (MCWD), you should select candidates who will represent your interests while navigating these complex financial, legal, technical, environmental and political issues in a responsible, mature, collaborative way. You should also choose MCWD Board Directors who can develop good relations with other agencies and cities on the Monterey Peninsula.

1. How will the proposed Regional Desalination Project affect the citizens of Marina and the Ord Community? While this project, as proposed (as a three-way contract between the MCWD, California American Water and the Monterey County Water Resources Agency), appears to be dead, it still is likely to affect ratepayers in the Ord Community and possibly Central Marina too. The MCWD fronted millions of dollars trying to make this project work and it's unclear how much of that money MCWD will get back. MCWD has submitted claims against Cal Am and the County for the return of this money, but this is just the first step in what is likely to be a long and costly series of lawsuits. When the dust finally settles in court several years from now, MCWD may unfortunately still be out several million dollars.
If the project had been built as envisioned, it would have a small net benefit for ratepayers in Central Marina and the Ord Community. The main benefit for all MCWD ratepayers would have been that some overhead costs would have been shared over a larger group of customers. For example, a portion of the cost of owning and maintaining MCWD's main administrative building (which is used for nearly all meetings, including some meetings concerning the proposed desalination project) could legitimately be included in the cost of desalinated water. This cost sharing feature would also benefit the Ord Community ratepayers. In addition, the Ord Community would eventually benefit by having access to more than 1,000 acre-feet of water per year from the desalination plant. The Ord Community will need this desalinated water once its groundwater allocation of 6,600 AFY is used up at some time in the next 30-40 years.
The Cal-Am ratepayers would have benefited by having access to water to replace the water that the state has ordered them to stop taking from the Carmel River. While this project would have significantly increased their water bills, all other alternatives are even more expensive. Furthermore, it appears that none of the alternative can be completed in time to avoid very significant mandated cutback in water use on the Monterey Peninsula south of the former Fort Ord. This could seriously damage the tourist industry that the Monterey Peninsula depends upon so much.
2. I live on the former Fort Ord - why am I not allowed to vote for members of the board of directors of the Marina Coast Water District? The Marina Coast Water District (MCWD) was formed before the City of Marina existed, but during the time when Fort Ord was an active Army base. The legal boundaries of the Marina Coast Water District (MCWD) stop at the northern boundary of the Army base. When the Marina Coast Water District (MCWD) took over responsibility for the water and wastewater systems on the closed Fort Ord Army base, it first did so under an operation and maintenance contract with the Army and later under a contract with the Fort Ord Reuse Authority. From a legal standpoint, the Fort Ord Reuse Authority represents your interests in water and wastewater issues through its control of the contract with the Marina Coast Water District (MCWD).
In order for you to be able to vote for members of the MCWD board of directors, the legal boundaries of the Marina Coast Water District would have to be expanded to encompass your residence. This is a process called annexation and it ultimately requires the approval of the Monterey County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). In conjunction with the land use jurisdictions on the Ord Community, the MCWD board of directors has been studying this annexation issue for the past two years . Since this involves a change in MCWD's political boundaries that will affect eight different political bodies, it is no surprise that the process is moving slowly. However, progress is being made and LAFCO intends to take a preliminary look at the issue some time in the winter of 2011. Furthermore, there is a real legal deadline involved -- if the Fort Ord Reuse Authority sunsets as scheduled in 2014, then something will have to takes it's place in granting MCWD the legal authority to continue to provide service to the Ord Community. Annexation can be that "something," although there are other, perhaps less palatable, options.
3. Why are the water rates different in central Marina and the Ord Community? When the Marina Coast Water District (MCWD) and the Fort Ord Reuse Authority (FORA) made the agreement under which MCWD provides service to the Ord Community, FORA wanted to be sure that revenues generated by Ord Community ratepayers would remain in the Ord Community. Similarly, MCWD wanted to be sure that revenues generated by central Marina ratepayers would remain in central Marina. Thus the agreement calls for the revenues and costs of the Ord Community to be kept separate from the revenues and costs of central Marina. We refer to this as maintaining separate cost centers, although it really means that both revenues and costs for each area are kept in separate accounts. Please note that both the Ord Community and central Marina save money by splitting certain overhead costs. For instance, we have one General Manager, one laboratory, one finance officer, one Board Secretary, etc. The costs of these employees, buildings, equipment, etc. are split between the Ord Community and central Marina, saving money for both areas.
4. Why are the sewer rates so high in the Ord Community? When the Marina Coast Water District took over the wastewater collection system on the former Fort Ord, much of the underground piping and pump stations were already old and had not been very much used since 1991 when the base was closed by the Army. Wastewater collection systems that are made from metal piping and are only lightly used for long periods of time tend to corrode much more rapidly than normal. So the District inherited 70+ miles of old, corroding wastewater collection piping and other sewer related facilities. Much of this infrastructure has had to be replaced, moved and/or re-built. In addition, the new development taking place in the Ord Community is scattered around the former Army base. So while the developers are paying for the new wastewater infrastructure within their respective development footprints, the rest of the Ord Community has, so far, had to bear the cost of upgrading and maintaining the connections between these scattered developments.
5. I've heard that the developers on the former Fort Ord don't have to pay any capacity fees to the MCWD to build there. Is this true? No. A capacity fee is a charge to allow someone to buy into a water service that already exists. This fee consists of two parts:
a buy-in to the existing system to "catch them up" with the contributions that existing customers have made to the capital cost of the system; and
a fee that is calculated based on any expansion of the system that is caused by the building of the new development.
A capacity fee is the usual way that water districts throughout the United States obtain the funds necessary to pay for system expansion and ensure equity between new customers and existing customers. The current capacity fee for new homes built in Central Marina this year is $9,400 per home.
When the MCWD first began providing service to the Ord Community under it's contract with FORA, they would not let MCWD establish developer paid capacity fees. FORA was so concerned about the costs associated with removing old Army buildings and cleaning up the redevelopment sites that they insisted that MCWD have no developer paid capacity fees. However, a few years ago, the MCWD finally convinced FORA to approve some developer paid capacity charges for new homes built in the Ord Community. This charges stand today at $7,900 per equivalent dwelling unit (essentially a single family home). However, financial consultants to MCWD tell us that this amount is only a partial capacity charge and that the real such charge should be more than $10,000. This is the reason that new ratepayers on the former Fort Ord will also have to pay a $25 per month surcharge on their MCWD bill that existing Ord Community ratepayers do not have to pay. Finally, it should be noted that the downturn in the economy has had and may continue to have a significant affect on the redevelopment of the Ord Community. The pace and location of future development on the former Fort Ord will certainly have some sort of effect upon developer paid capacity fees there.
If you are interested in obtaining electronic copies of MCWD agendas, complete Board packets and/or minutes of past meetings you can find them here.

Welcome to the blog! Make yourselves at home and stay for awhile.
We are Nate and Andrea – recently married and living in Northern California. This is an extremely arty photo of us that is probably going to drive Nate a little nuts that I posted. That's too bad because I love it. And let's be honest, this blog is really my version of our story.
I'm Andrea. I work as a designer and webmaster by day. I love creating new and beautiful things. In 2009, I took on my biggest project to date, a 1952 cinder-block house in need of repair. Growing up with weekend warrior parents, I have always dreamed of buying a house that I could put my own spin on. When the dream finally became reality, I wanted to make sure and record the process step by step with this blog.
Recently, I have shifted focus a little to incorporate not only projects about the house, but projects in it as well. I feel this is a better representation on who I am and how I want to remember this chapter of my life years from now.
Along for the adventure is my husband Nate. Nate was new to the do-it-yourself world when we moved in, but luckily grew to love it as much as I do.
He keeps me in check, cleans up my chaos in the kitchen and loves our cats like none other. I think he's pretty rad.
And speaking of cats. This is Loki and Pixel. We adopted them the same summer we bought our home. We love these two furballs a lot. Every Friday, I feature a photo I've taken of them on the blog. You can view the archive of shots on our Life & Cats page.
We were fortunate enough to receive a bath makeover by Bath Crashers in 2010. It was a once in a lifetime experience. (Read all about it and the finished project.) The episode is not available online, but our episode is titled Urban Bamboo Bath (DBCR-213H).
In June 2013 after dating eleven years, we got married in my parents' backyard. You can read about all the projects we took on (many with the help of our loved ones) leading to the big day here.
This June, we are expecting our first little bundle of joy. I am documenting my pregnancy through regular video blogs (or vlogs) about my symptoms, events and overall feelings during this period in my life. You can watch the whole playlist here or check out the corresponding posts here. I haven't decided what I will post about baby here on OCH, but more than likely I will be doing something like monthly updates. Stay tuned!
When we are not working on the house, you can often find us watching football, throwing a BBQ in our backyard or at a music festival.
I hope you like our little adventures. Feel free to send us a email or post a comment and tell us what you think!

David Sanborn (with Eric Clapton): I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town
I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town
David Sanborn (alto sax)
Here and Gone (Decca 00168)
David Sanborn (alto sax), Eric Clapton (guitar, vocals), Christian McBride (bass), Steve Gadd (drums), Gil Goldstein (organ), Howard Johnson (baritone sax), Charles Pillow (bass clarinet),
Mike Davis (tenor trombone), Lou Marini (tenor sax).
Composed by Roy Jordan and William Weldon.
Recorded: CD released in 2008
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
You don't often find Eric Clapton guesting on a jazz CD, but the heavy blues emphasis on this new David Sanborn release makes the former Cream guitarist a perfect addition to the proceedings. Clapton handles vocals and contributes a few choice licks on guitar, while Sanborn demonstrates his mastery of gut-bucket sax stylings. I can almost picture him walking the bar while he wails on the horn. If you don't pay close attention, you could easily miss the contributions of bassist Christian McBride and drummer Steve Gadd -- but make no mistake about it, their presence is essential in creating the comfortable ambling pace to this winning performance.

Farrah Fawcett and HPV?
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I was watching the story of Farrah Fawcett on E! today, and couldn't help but wonder if she had HPV. I have searched up and down on the web to see if this wonderful star had HPV, but no where specifically indicates whether she did or didnt. Since it is one of the rarest forms of cancer, and i have read that having HPV puts you at a higher risk to get it. It really scared me and i cant stop thinking about it.

HPV is definitely connected to anal cancer (the kind that Farrah had). Just like cervical cancer, dysplasia can form in the anal canal through HPV. However, it is extremely rare and very treatable in the early stages. The problem is that the symptoms can mimic other things like hemmoroids so it's important to get anything checked that seems abnormal like bleeding from the anal area. Also, women under the age of 50 are much less likely to get it while men under 50 are more at risk. Obviously, the more anal sex you have with various partners will put you at risk for catching the virus and, as always, smoking increases your risk of getting cancer.
I do believe that Farrah was a smoker and it was never revealed that she had HPV. However, I also think that her cancer was missed early on and when she was originally diagnosed, it had already spread. Again, it is rare, but it is something to be aware of.

Initial LLVM/clang patch
Joerg Sonnenberger <joerg <at> britannica.bec.de>
Hi all, attached patch + tarball contain enough magic to get a working clang for AMD64. I could like to get this into the tree to make it simpler to test and integrated the changes required for doing a (almost) full world build. Things like support for !x86 targets in clang etc can be provided incrementally as well. At the moment, I do not plan to import the upstream LLVM or clang sources. src/external/llvm/Makefile has a checkout target using svn to get the "proven" revision as specified in Makefile.inc. This avoids having to deal with regular imports and repo churn associated. Status is that with a bunch of other patches and some smaller hacks, the AMD64 release build finishes almost. The GCC libraries and bootxx are the primary issues. Joerg

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are set to work together on the upcoming edition of Two and a Half Men and a sneak peek from the show offers a look at the two accomplished stars. The latest clip has fans excited to see how Mila Kunis might look on the show and get a feeling for her character. According to Gossip Cop on Sunday, the full episode appears later this week on CBS.
The sneak peek does showcase the chemistry the two stars have on set. Looking relaxed and comfortable, Mila and Ashton slip into character and talk about Hollywood dating. Throwing shade towards celebrities and their dating life, they reflect on why most of the things seen in the tabloids are so uninteresting.
The first look of this episode offers up a look at who Ashton's character might date in the future. The episode is called Lan Mao Shi Zai Wuding Shang. Walden reconnects with Kate and is sure she's "The One." Well, that is, until he meets Vivian (played by Mila Kunis) and becomes convinced she's "The One." Meanwhile, Alan and Gretchen grow closer, and the romance might be starting to unravel.
Two and a Half Men is aired on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET. Check out the sneak peek here!

A 10 a.m. Start, Then Some Tense Waiting
Don't expect the justices to announce the health-care ruling as soon as they take the bench at 10 a.m. The court has three cases left to decide and it will very likely announce the other two decisions first.
In one of those cases, the court will decide whether Congress violated the First Amendment when it made it a crime to lie about receiving a military medal.
The other case involves title-insurance referrals and First American Financial Corp. The case has been pending for an unusually long time – the justices heard arguments last November. The issues are a bit technical, but the court's ruling could have important implications for consumers' access to the court system.
It usually takes several minutes for a justice to announce his or her opinion for the court. The process can take even longer if a dissenting justice chooses to read part of his or her dissent from the bench. So we may have to wait 10 to 15 minutes to learn the fate of the Affordable Care Act.
Most court watchers expect Chief Justice John Roberts to be writing the court's health-care opinion. It's at least possible, however, that the court could issue more than one majority opinion on the health care law. The court has been considering the constitutionality of both the law's insurance mandate and its expansion of Medicaid. Those two issues involve separate legal questions and could be resolved in separate decisions from the court. That's not the most likely scenario, but it is a plausible one.
After Thursday's final session of the current Supreme Court term, the justices aren't scheduled to take the bench again until October.

College Hockey:Denver Ends Winless Streak With Shutout
AMHERST, Mass. — Sophomore Peter Mannino stopped 27 shots for his sixth career shutout, and four different players scored in No. 13 Denver's 4-0 win over UMass in nonconference action at Mullins Center. Gabe Gauthier, Matt Carle, Ryan Helgason, and Adrian Veideman each scored goals as the Pioneers ended their five-game winless streak. DU improves to 6-6-2 overall, while UMass falls to 4-8-0.
"We had a great start after taking a tough 1-0 loss last night," head coach George Gwozdecky said. "We buried our chances early, and Peter played a good game for the shutout. Our team was really determined to end the winless streak tonight."
DU jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first 20 minutes. Gauthier, Carle and Helgason scored consecutive goals for Denver, which was shutout last night 1-0. Gauthier banged in a rebound on the power play, Carle wristed in a shot from the left circle, and Helgason launched a laser from the slot for DU's first three-goal first period of the season. Mannino looked sharp in net with nine saves.
UMass outshot the Pioneers 14-13 in the second period, but Mannino denied every attempt. DU used a Veideman goal to take a commanding 4-0 lead at 16:16. Veideman's second goal of the season from the right circle trickled past UMass goaltender Jon Quick (33 saves).
Mannino stopped four shots in the scoreless final period to secure his first shutout since the 2005 WCHA Final Five championship game against Colorado College on March 19.
The Pioneers outshot UMass 37-27 and produced a 1-for-6 effort on the power play. DU held UMass scoreless on the man advantage in three attempts. Veideman added two assists for his first career three-point game, while Carle and Gauthier each finished with one goal and one assist. Helgason's goal was his third in the last four games.
DU plays a home-and-home series against in-state rival Colorado College on Dec. 2-3. UMass will take on Merrimack Tuesday.

|Vandals prep for Utah State
Thanksgiving week always has a unique feel on a college campus. There aren't any classes; most of the students have headed home for the break. That atmosphere creates even more of a family feel among a football team preparing for its final game of the season.
Interim head coach Jason Gesser and his staff have spent the week trying to find the perfect practice mix for the Idaho Vandals are they prepare to head to Logan, Utah, and their season finale against Utah State.
"We're trying to find that fine balance," said Gesser, who is appearing as head coach for the fourth time, "keeping it fun but keeping it focused."
Gesser said he sensed a different attitude in the 2012 Vandals as compared to the 2011 team, which scored just a field goal in its season finale at Nevada a year ago.
"They were locked and loaded in practice today," said Gesser, who made it a point to mention the 2011 Nevada game in meetings this week. "Nobody wants that to happen again. We're going to prepare and keep going this week."
To avert a repeat, the Vandals have to slow one of the hottest teams going. The Aggies are 9-2 and fresh off a victory at then-No. 20 Louisiana Tech. It's no secret, Gesser says, that Utah State – winner of five straight, is on a roll. He also said, it won't be up to just Idaho's defense to put the brakes on the Aggies.
"We've got to be able to manage the game," Gesser said. "We have to make our plays count. We have to make our plays successful. We have to be able to move those chains and help our defense out."
This is the final game in an Idaho uniform for 19 players. Gesser said that, too, has been on the minds of the Vandals.
"It's the last time this entire team will be together," he said. "This might be the last time we coach these guys.
"It's a whole different feel."
Tipoff at Romney Stadium is at noon PT/1 p.m. MT. The game is live on ESPNU.

We bought an "off the shelf" application a lonnng time ago that is capable of storing files as a blob within SQL Server. We've noticed that the database has more than doubled in size within the past six months due to more frequent usage of this blob field by one department. As a result, the application has become painfully slow.
I've been tasked with removing the blob field from the database and saving the file onto the actual file system. Unfortunately, the application does not store what the file type is within the database. Although I can read the file as it exists in the database, I don't know what extension to save the file as. The application's support desk no longer supports this version of the software and will not talk to us about extracting the data. Unfortunately, we do not have access to their source code.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
