[EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last of a three-part series about songs that topped the English pop music charts but, even though released in the U.S., they were only minor hits. To read the first in a series, covering pre-British Invasion songs, click here. And to read the second article, spanning the years 1964 to 1966, click here.]
There's no doubt that the record-buying public in America had different musical tastes than their English counterparts before, during and after the so-called British Invasion in the mid-1960s.
For that reason, not unexpectedly, there were quite a few records that soared to the top of the pop music charts in the UK in the '50s and '60s, only to have far-lesser impact on the Billboard Magazine charts, despite being also released in the U.S.
Even during and after the Invasion, which began in full force in early 1964, there were a number of those songs, but of course, singles recorded by such artists as The Beatles, Petula Clark and The Rolling Stones almost always met with huge success in the America.
This column takes a look at 10 singles that went all the way to No. 1 in the UK in the late 1960s, but even in the aftermath of the Invasion, they never caught on significantly with the American public.
Each of the 10 listed tunes reached No. 1 on at least one of the following British charts: NME (New Music Express), The Record Mirror or The Record Retailer. Following are capsule summaries of those songs -- along with the highest Billboard Magazine U.S. pop chart listing -- and to hear any of them, simply click on the title.
- "SOMEBODY HELP ME" (Spencer Davis Group, 1966; U.S. No. 47): The group, formed in Birmingham, England, and featuring Spencer Davis on guitar and Steve Winwood on lead vocals, had this song reach the pinnacle of the UK charts in mid-April of 1966. However, it wasn't until after a pair of big U.S. hits in 1967 -- "Gimme Some Lovin'" (No. 7) and "I'm A Man" (No. 10) -- that this song was released and experienced modest success on this side of the Atlantic.
- "LET THE HEARTACHES BEGIN" (Long John Baldry, 1967; U.S. No. 88): The English blues vocalist, nicknamed Long John because of his 6-7 height, sang with many bands and with such superstars as Elton John and Rod Stewart. He enjoyed pop success in the UK, and this song was a chart-topper in the first week of December 1967. Also a voice actor, he moved to Canada in the late 1970s, and he lived there until his death in 2005 at age 64.
- "BABY COME BACK" (Equals, 1968; U.S. No. 32): Featuring Eddy Grant (of "Electric Avenue" fame) on guitar and Derv Gordon on lead vocals, this interracial British-Jamaican group was atop the English pop music charts for three consecutive weeks with this song, beginning on July 6, 1968. Even so, its U.S. release on the RCA label attained only minor success, peaking at No. 32 on Billboard.
- "CONGRATULATIONS" (Cliff Richard, 1968; U.S. No. 99): Even though this recording artist -- born Harry Rodger Webb in Lucknow, India, before moving to England in 1948 at age 7 -- became one of the top-selling singers in UK history, with more than 100 chart singles and 14 No. 1s, this was just one of many of his records that had little impact in America. This song was written by Bill Martin and Phil Coulter.
- "ALBATROSS" (Fleetwood Mac, 1968; U.S. No. 104): By the time Fleetwood Mac became familiar and popular with U.S. audiences in the mid-1970s, the original lineup had a string of successes in the UK after being formed as a British blues band in 1967. Group members until 1970 were guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bass John McVie. This instrumental, written by Green, topped the UK charts in December 1968, but it only Bubbled Under the Hot 100 at No. 104 in the U.S., and in 1973, it returned to the UK charts at No. 2.
- "CINDERELLA ROCKAFELLA" (Esther & Abi Ofarim, 1968; U.S. No. 68): This novelty single, written by Mason Williams and Nancy Ames, was recorded by a then-married Israeli couple in 1967, although it didn't become a hit until it spent four consecutive weeks atop the UK charts in early 1968. Esther began performing as a child, singing Hebrew and international folk songs, and Abi made his stage debut at age 15, and by age 18, he had his own dance studio and arranged his own choreography. Their recording career took off in Germany in 1966, and they played many live worldwide concerts, including venues in New York and London.
- "DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO" (Nina Simone, 1968; U.S. No. 83): Her only big-selling U.S. single was "I Loves You,Porgy" (No. 18 in 1959) from George Gershwin's 1935 Porgy and Bess. But the songstress, born Eunice Wayman in Tryon, S.C., fared much better in the UK. She attended the Julliard School of Music in New York City before launching her singing career, and she became a political activist in the 1970s.
- "WHERE DO YOU GO TO MY LOVELY" (Peter Sarstedt, 1969; U.S. No. 70): The song was written and performed by a recording artist born in Delhi, India, where his parents were civil servants under British jurisdiction before the family returned to England in 1954. The record was was produced by Ray Singer and engineered by John Mackswith, and it spent four consecutive weeks atop the UK pop singles charts, and it was also No. 1 in 13 other countries. Even though the vocalist had much success in Europe and elsewhere, this was his his only Billboard Hot 100 item in the U.S.
- "OH WELL" (Fleetwood Mac, 1969; U.S. No. 55): By 1975, after relocating to California and undergoing lineup changes -- including the addition of guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and vocalist Stevie Nicks -- the band finally caught on big-time in America. But still with the original lineup (see "Albatross" above), the band went to the top of the UK charts with this one, which was their first U.S. Billboard Hot 100 entry, though it only reached No. 55.
- "JE T'AIME ... MOI NON PLUS" (Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg, 1969; U.S. No. 58): The song -- with a title that means "I Love You … Me Neither" in French -- was written by Gainsbourg, who first composed it for and sung it with Brigitte Bardot in 1967, but that version wasn't released until 1986. This rendition, recorded with his lover, Jane Birkin, was released in 1969 and reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in Ireland, but it was banned in several nations because of its sexual content. For that reason, the single had a plain cover, with the words "Interdit aux moins de 21 ans" (translated: Forbidden to those under 21), and the recording was arranged and conducted by Arthur Greenslade.

On Monday May 12, Batman/Superman director, Zack Snyder, teased an image featuring the new batmobile covered underneath a tarp on his twitter page. He hinted "could be time to pull the tarp... Tomorrow?"
On Tuesday morning May 13, Snyder surprised the world by unveiling the batmobile, and Ben Affleck in the new Batsuit.
The Batsuit that will be featured in the Man of Steel sequel is, not surprisingly, inspired by Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns Batman: large Bat insignia, shorter ears, overall the most comic-accurate looking Batman to be featured on the big screen. (On a personal note, the mask and shorter ears remind me of Jim Lee's depiction Batman, maybe it is, or maybe it's a coincidence.)
In addition to the Batsuit, the new Batmobile looks like an amalgamation between the Bat-Tumbler (backside) from the Christopher Nolan movies and Tim Burton's 1989 Batmobile (front). Many fan reactions towards the new Batman related images have been positive. A good example would be long-time Batman fan, director, host of the popular podcast Fatman on Batman, and the first person to hint about Ben Affleck's new Batsuit, Kevin Smith. read his reactions here, his comments may be inappropriate for younger readers. Overall, fans can agree Ben Affleck as Batman and the new Batmobile look incredible. The current image is in black and white, there could still be more to come as the movie draws closer to it's May 2016 release date. Perhaps by Comic-Con we could see more Justice League members in full costume.

Sports enthusiasts can revel in the opening of Redline Athletics as they open their first location in Houston in June 2014 at Marucci Houston.
Marucci Houston, located at 2626 W. Sam Houston Pkwy N., has undergone recent renovations to become the region's ultimate baseball and softball training facility. The complex's 11 fields are manicured to meet the highest of standards of its Major League Baseball partners and athletes, all of whom have college and/or professional baseball experience.
RedLine Athletics has custom-designed training models which enable young athletes to further develop skills in their chosen sport ranging from football to volleyball to baseball and additional sports. Houston is the second franchise expansion for RedLine Athletics. They recently opened in Scottsdale, Arizona earlier this year with the original facility in San Juan Capistrano, California.
Athletes will have the opportunity to complete a training program that is totally their own, focused on core stability, speed improvement, running form, agility, acceleration, and strength training with RedLine Athletics.
Native Houstonian and former MLB pitcher, Mike Sirotka, has been named the general manager for RedLine Athletics at Marucci Houston, overseeing the day-to-day operations including all instruction, training and strength conditioning. Sirotka is a two-time NCAA National Champion with the LSU Tigers, who then went on to an 11 year professional baseball career.
"Houston has a great tradition of youth sports and we are excited to get started. We have already begun working with athletes before our grand opening on June 19, with RedLine Mobile and our Conditioning Camp," said Sirotka. "At RedLine Athletics, you train like a pro with the pros. We are committed to nurturing young people to each become the best athlete and person they can be."
In 2013, the complex formerly known as Baseball USA underwent major renovations, with native Houstonian and MLB power hitter, Adam Dunn, leading the charge. Bringing in additional MLB player partners, such as Lance Berkman and Carl Crawford, they teamed up with Marucci Sports, one of the most respected brands in baseball, with one goal in mind – to become the best training facility in the country.
Marucci Houston's general manager, Chris Schultea, said they're looking forward to opening their doors to RedLine Athletics and athletes from all sports. "We are committed to honoring the game by helping young athletes develop their skills, both on and off the field," he said.

College Hockey:Robert Morris Selects Head Coach
PITTSBURGH — Robert Morris University has officially announced its intention to add men's ice hockey in 2004-05, and named its first head coach, current Air Force assistant Derek Schooley.
It has been assumed Robert Morris will look for acceptance into Atlantic Hockey beginning in 2004-05. The conference, however, has yet to officially deliberate about expansion.
Last year, the school entered into negotiations to purchase the off-campus Island Sports Center, which includes a rink facility the team would play in. Last month, the school hired Vic Gregovits, former vice president of marketing and broadcasting for the Pittsburgh Pirates, to help complete the negotiations and serve as the facility's chief executive officer.
Schooley, 32, was a defenseman at Western Michigan until 1994. The St. Louis native was also a volunteer assistant at Cornell for a year, before heading to Air Force in 1998.
According to USHR.com, Robert Morris will offer 10 full scholarships, one short of the current Atlantic Hockey minimum.
The other finalists for the job, according to USHR, were former Iona head coach Frank Bretti and current Findlay assistant Pat Ford.

Transcript of the live chat session that took place Thursday, May 10, 2001. These sessions are normally scheduled for 12 noon-1 PM US Eastern Time on Thursdays (when we are on standard time that is GMT -5; on daylight savings time, that is GMT -4).
To connect to the chat room, go to www.samizdat.com/chat-intro.html
Since the chat itself happens at a rapid pace, it's often difficult to note interesting facts and URLs as they appear live. Here's a place to take a more leisurely look. I've rearranged some of the pieces to try to capture the various threads of discussion (which sometimes get lost in the rush of live chat).
Please send email with your follow-on questions and comments, and suggestions for topics we should focus on in future sessions. So long as the volume of email responses is manageable, I'll post the most pertinent ones here for all to see.
These sessions are hosted by Richard Seltzer. If you would like to receive email reminders of our chat sessions, simply send a blank email message to firstname.lastname@example.com or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/businessonthewebchats and sign up there.
This is one of the longest-running chat programs on the Web. (Please let us know if you know of ones that are older.) We've been doing this since June 1996.

Steve Eskrow emphasized that while there might be educational uses for this application (Telcopoint's free hosted version of HearMe), it really isn't ready for prime time. He suggested that this might be useful for counselling and intimacy, but not for larger groups, and not for real content-related course work
Bob Zwick noted the importance of protocols for getting the most out of voice chat. The rules you set and how well you enforce them determines how many people you can manage.
We were using PC Voice Chat from www.telcopoint.com "Telcopoint provides a turn key voice chat application, scalable from a two party private call to a site sponsering dozens of chat rooms with hundreds of users. Best of all you can start using these chat rooms right now, FOR FREE!" Implementation is easy. When you sign up, you indicate which pages (up to five) you are going to put voice chat links on. The link itself is the same in all cases. When someone connects, Telcopoint makes the match between the originating page and the particular chat room.
Voice possibilities:
roger wilco from www.audio-tips.com/chat.html (currently being used in distance ed for the blind)
other resources listed at www.netat.com/OS/cb/gooey.htm
others that used to be in this business but I can't reach today: firetalk, getgooey
Auditorium-style possibilities:
Keep in mind that you can pay for additional capabilities from Telcopoint. For a price, you could have the tools necessary for moderation, you could have some of your participants dial in by ordinary telephone, and you could handle more simultaneous users. We had about a dozen simultaneous users for our experiment, but the number of users did not appear to be the source of our most annoying problems -- voices breaking up and messages going unheard, randomly. Here are the marketing descriptions of the paid services, as they appear at the Telco site:
"Telcopoint has created a series of standard packages designed to grow as your web site grows. These packages, detailed below, are organized in incremental increases of number of users and number of chat rooms you can create. Also available is the ability for you to act as a "Chat Master" and let you moderate your rooms. If you have users that want to chat when they are away from their PC, no problem. Sign up for our phone in services; they can join the conversation via the 800 or 900 numbers you select, and best of all YOU MAKE MONEY!
"We are constantly coming up with innovative new products and services designed to enhance your site and your users' voice experience. Please check back here frequently and see what we have come up with. We would also love to hear your suggestions for new services, please send us your thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Adding Moderator capability to your chat service gives you the ability to act as the Chat Master.
"You will be able to: Kick Users, Ignore Users, Mute Users, Ban Users, Choose the active speaker(s).
"Moderator - Moderate all your chat rooms for $500 per month..."
"Increase Number of Rooms and Number of Users
"Telcopoint has created a number of Packages you can select to increase the number of chat rooms available to you and to increase the number of users* that can be on line at the same time.
"Simply select a Package, name your new rooms and you will be off and running.
"Package A - Includes 5 additional chat rooms, for a total of 10 rooms
and 100 users*
For $ 750 per month ($15 per user x 50 added users)
"Package B - Includes 10 additional chat rooms, for a total of 15 rooms
and 150 users*
For $1,300 per month ($13 per user x 100 added users)
"Package C - Includes 15 additional chat rooms, for a total of 20 rooms
and 200 users*
For $1,650 per month ($11 per user x 150 added users)
"Package T - Our ultimate chat pack, includes 20 additional chat rooms, for a total of 25 rooms and 250 users* plus Moderation (Chat Master) for all rooms a $3,000 value
"For $2,500 per month (10 per user x 200 added users) + Moderation (a $1,000 per month value)
"*= A user is defined as someone logged into the chat room, therefore the 100 user package means you can have 100 of your members using chat at the same time. There is no limit to how many users can download the client or use chat. You are only limited by total simultaneous user count.
"Your total number of simultaneous users can be spread out among all of your chat rooms or can all be in one room, as long as the total does not exceed the Package limit."
"Phone In Capability
"Telcopoint has created a Voice over IP network that will allow your users to call into your voice chat rooms when they are away from their PC and lets you make money. You can select 800 or 900 numbers for one or all of your chat rooms. Each individual chat room must have its own unique phone number.
"For 800 phone in service, Telcopoint will bill you, the Webmaster, $0.10 per minute. You will be billed to the credit card you provide at the conclusion of each call. What you bill your users is up to you! On the last day of each month, Telcopoint will provide you will a detailed accounting of all calls. These call detail records can then facilitate you billing your users.
"For 900 phone in service, Telcopoint through our Long Distance partner and the local phone company will bill your user directly. These charges will appear on your users' phone bill. At the end of each billing cycle Telcopoint will pay you, the Webmaster, 20% of what revenue was generated from your end user.
"For additional information on the above services,
please email us at email@example.com."
Jim K: I am a student of distance education am trying to figur out what is available for starting some projects in Latin America
Richard Seltzer: Welcome, Steve. Please introduce yourself and then open a second browser window and move to the voice chat.
Alan Selig: (old) grad student in Kansas. I'm interested in the potential of voice communication for Dist. Ed. I have no prior experience with it, so this is a brand new experience today for me.
Steve Eskow: one of my interests is learning whether a moderately literate
computer user like me can avoid confusion.
For example: how do I open a second browser window, or otherwise get to the voice chat room without losing this page?
Alan Selig: I'm like Steve, still not sure how to get to the voice chat.
Bob Zwick: Steve you need to open a NEW separate window and then goto the page.
mlyle: Hi Richard! My email is email@example.com. I am involved as a student with an internship program that is helping to research collaboration tools for the Universitiy's Distance Education program for next fall. Thanks. Would appreciate any information that you could give us about your program
Alan Wiener: Greetings... I'm Alan Wiener and have just joined you.
Alan Wiener: I am a mediator, and particularly interested in Online Dispute Resolution. I am here to see whether this tool might be useful in my work.
Anne: After making real voice contact with Richard Seltzer, we decided that I'd introduce myself this way! I am head teacher of distance ed at Language Services Interverbum in Stockholm, Sweden. I heard about this voice chat through DEOS, where I lurk regularly! We haven't used voice chat in our courses yet, which is why I am here today. We have however used Centra (both Symposium and Conference).
Asif Raza: My email is email@example.com I see that Anne is in Sweden, is there anyone else here outside of the USA?
Richard Seltzer: I've been asked to help evaluate real-time tools (mostly auditorium style) for an upcoming online course to be offered by the Kennedy School of Government. Recommendations welcome.
Bob Zwick: Consider looking at www.webtrain.com - very reasonably priced and feature full.
Richard Seltzer: Anne, can you tell me about Centra please? Is that an auditorium style text chat environment? Or what is it?
Anne: Centra is a real time communication platform with a graphical interface. www.centra.com
Richard Seltzer: Is Centra text-chat only? Or do they have voice as well? And for text chat do they do it auditorium style (for hundreds of participants) or peer-to-peer, like this?
Anne: Language Services is a company which provides language training,
translation, interpreting and localisation. We use Centra (ie the Web)
to connect students with teachers, who are native speakers. We talk to
each other, using mics (and pressing control) but there is also a text
chat option and a whiteboard, and the provision to share documents. It's
pretty good actually.
hibbs pc: steve, you should be able to open a new window, then click on the link to the telephony link telecopoint. I would suggest exiting the chat room and re entering from the original page, get the audio and then return to this room
Bob Zwick: I heard John without any breakup - seems like the quality varies for individuals depending in their bandwidth
hibbs pc: bob, i did all that but still dont get those damn buttons to show up. keep in mind i am on a cable modem. the more I experiment with telephony, the more I like telephone. I hear everything just fine
Chris: does this work on a Mac?
Bob Zwick: Chris - I believe the text chat qworks ok on a Mac - John Hibbs is using a Mac
hibbs pc: no, this does not work on a mac. or better said, it doesnt work as well as on a p.c...one can't adjust the screen to read the text above it
Bob Zwick: oops - I stand corrected :-)
Chris: sorry to hear that... I'll be heading out then... the text works OK, but since the whole idea is to experiment with voice chat, I'm not sure how much I'd get out of this..
hibbs pc: i am now typing fom a p.c. my mac which I love won't cooperate.
hibbs pc: I am rying to convince Richard we should hold these in multi city
Bob Zwick: MultiCity opens up language translation for text !!!!
Richard Seltzer: Chris -- can you connect to the voice chat room? just go to www.samizdat.com/chat-intro.html and click on the telcopoint link.
Chris: I'll try.. gimme a second... It doesn't work with IE5, but I'll try it now in Netscape 4.7... Yup, the plug-in is only for Win32 machines
hibbs pc: i am in the voice room in navigator and in this room in explorer... you can control the people who can talk, or at least you could... the moderator MUST conrol the speakers!! and I think you can control the function...
Bob Zwick: sometimes there is a delay in which voice comes through
hibbs pc: yes, the voice quality depends on traffic over the net as well
Anne: Richard! Can I ask two question in the voice chat, because I have to leave the office and I can't seem to get a word in!
Bob Zwick: Anne - can you type your question here and let Richard answer on voice
Richard Seltzer: Anne -- please go ahead and ask.
Anne: If everyone stops talking for 30 secs I think I'll be able to speak!
Bob Zwick: I think so too Anne - but it is too uncontrolled at this point
Anne: My questions/comments are:
Richard Seltzer: Thanks. I'll have to check Centra soon.
Jim K: I think it is good to have a moderator that gives the mic. We need to use the chat room to ask for the mic
hibbs pc: richard, if you will take charge of the phone and moderate the discussion
Anne: JimK, I agree, but the problem is that even when you "ask for the mic" the moderator can't "give" it to you if there are too many others trying to talk at the same time. the delay and the quality is much worse when there are more people online.
hibbs pc: where are you Anne? I did not hear that well??
Anne: John, I am in Sweden!
hibbs pc: whoops,now no sound at all?
hibbs pc: all makes for the regular telephone? though how many have two lines?
Anne: John Hibbs is asking me to continue speaking about 3 minutes after I spoke! I can only assume there's a longer dealy the more people there are in the voice chat room
Asif Raza -- I noticed that some of us have profiles and others don't.
hibbs pc: now, i got kicked out of the telephone room, and recnnecting.
Bob Zwick: In the TelcoPoint chat room all [typed] messages can be saved. You will automatically be promted to save them when you click the Hang Up button.
Alan Wiener: This is Alan Wiener. I have tried to chime in a couple times, but you don't seem able to hear me. Any suggestions?
Bob Zwick: Alan - you have to be persistant holding the CTRL key when others are not talking.
Alan Wiener: Thanks, Bob. I have been trying that, and will continue when there are pauses.
hibbs pc: the good thing about the telephone is that long distance charges can be cheap, we can evdn mconnect the telephony to the voice telephone room
Bob Zwick: Everyone - I think this session is exploratory. We are trying to determine the usefulness of audio and how and when to use it.
Anne: Actually, I suspect that holding down the control key causes these weird delays. It would work better if only 1 person could speak at a time (or if you limited the number of people participating.)
Bob Zwick: Yes Anne - there should be ONE speaker and the rest in the audio listening.
Jim K: The voice chat went dead and I can't get back on
Alan Wiener: Anne, I could hear you "trying to get in" loud and clear.
Bob Zwick: Audio like this can be usefull as a one on one consultation between teacher and student.
Alan Selig: Anne: I can hear you when you try to get in, and others try to respond, but you apparently are not hearing it.
Bob Zwick: The free version guarantess no specific #. Pay scaled versions guarantee 100 or 250 connections.
Alan Selig: I haven't been successful in getting a voice submission through. Listening to the general conversation, however, gives me one idea. I think the program would benefit from some kind of indicator for a person wanting to make a comment (similar to raising my hand in class.) That would avoid the problem with voices running over each other.
Jim K: Centra has the hand raising feature
Anne: Good bye everyone! I'll "meet" you all in DEOS again, and watch out for the next voice chat session.
HibbspcExplorer: i could not get into the telephony room
Bob Zwick: Did you get a too many participants in room ?
HibbspcExplorer: bob, did you get kicked out of the telephony room?
Jim K: When I try to get back in it says server no longer authorized or something like that. Did time run out?
Bob Zwick: No - if you did not click the Hang Up button you may be logged in too many times
Alan Wiener: I have held down the control key and trying to speak, but apparently no one can hear.
Jim K: It just went dead and I couldn't hang up
Bob Zwick: could be a software conflict in your system
Jim K: It worked fine for about 15 minutes
HibbspcExplorer: Jimk I am having the same experience
Jim K: I have to go but I would like to be informed of other experiments to try stuff. my email is email@example.com. Thanks everybody
Bob Zwick: Anyone interested in testing this Hearme chat one on one can contact me at http://www.cottagemicro.com/education/eschoolchat.htm schedule through firstname.lastname@example.com
Alan Selig: I've been listening carefully, since I can't seem to get a voice connection going at my end. Every once in a while the audio just cuts out. Then it comes back after a short pause. I'm wondering if that is because my computers buffer memory is filling up. I'm using a 700 MHZ system. Is there a minimum capacity for a system to be able to use this well?
Bob Zwick: Alan - the interuptions are probably not at your end. There are a lot of internet routing and bandwidth issues that cause them.
Alan Wiener: I've been listening also, but unable to get my voice in. As Steve Eskow indicates, this is discouraging.
Alan Selig: Signing off! It's been fun, in a frustrating/novice sort of way. My email is email@example.com. I'll be interested in further attempts of this sort.
mlyle: I would like to have a head's up about futher testing on collaboraion software for next week. Please let me know the time and place. firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks.
Some colleagues and i have developed some software that allows web pages
to accept input from people directly (or
moderated) and I thought that you might be interested. www.weborganic.com please don't be put off by the graphical and businessy look - that's just another attempt by us to get commercial when we're not yet or maybe ever.

I read your announcement re HearMe on DEOS-L with interest. If
you don't know about the work we've been doing with voice over IP for the
last few years, you might like to look at some of the papers at:
The audiographics client decribed is also being used elsewhere in the university.

That was quick! Unfortunately, the audiographics client isn't commercially available as it's a product developed in-house here, but we did start off by using VoxChat which was. Sadly, that is now defunct. However, we do have quite a lot of experience now in using voice over IP and my colleagues have been gaining substantial experience in using this sort of application to work with distance learners.
I'll try to login for the chat, but I'm doing 3 hours or so of online training this evening, so am trying not to spend too long at the keyboard this afternoon.
If you have any questions about our experience/the content of the articles, do, please, feel free to contact me.
Best wishes,

I'm sorry I didn't manage to get online for the chat last night. I would have loved to have taken part. Unfortunately, I had to do some online training, as I mentioned and time rather ran away with me!

Atlanta is booming with big business everywhere. However when it comes to the fashion industry, what's in, isn't necessarily "big." So, the best places to shop here in Atlanta, for all your wardrobe and accessory needs are as follows:
Atlantic Station: Just barely making the cut, for the midtown district range, this mega fashion-retail-business district, is perfect for the casual shopper, the serious shopper, and shopaholic! Filled with many household fashion names, such as GAP, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Nine West, Express and major department store Dillard's. All of these stores feature the hats, scarves, socks, and jewelry that we all know, need and love.However if you are looking for unique items outside of the "crewcut" box, here are a few suggestions:
K-La, features up and coming designers Collective Clothing, Lu Luvia and Bailey 24, in addition to it's wide assortment of designer denim, which includes Citizens of Humanity, Hudson, Rock and Republic. K-La has now expanded to include, a Phipps Plaza location, that is much smaller in inventory and square footage, but places a bigger focus on accessories, sunglasses, handbags, scarves, sunglasses and jewelry. Currently there is a 30-70% off sale on all winter inventory! Definitely take advantage of this sale, items become sparse as the weeks go by, so get it before it's gone.
Also Taste, the couture, "cool kid" boutique owned and operated by none other than Ohio's young rapper Bow Wow's mom Teresa Caldwell. This boutique features an array of couture, ranging from Christian Audigier tees and caps, as well as newcomer Signorelli by OmniPeace. The ladies jewelry selection is great, featuring earrings, bracelets, necklaces, cuffs, studded belts, which by the way is the "new waist jewelry" and so much more.
White House/Black Market: Michelle Obama gave this store a very necessary third quarter boost in sales last year, when she chose to wear and $80 dress from it's fall line. White House/Black Market is a unique store, in which nearly all of the items in the store are black or white. Even the silk scarves, which are lovely, and are appropriate for every single season. The jewelry is designed according the current seasons themes, whether is be mod-squad rectangular silver hoops, or the most glamorous, bejeweled cocktail rings in Atlanta. It's here at White House/Black Market.
As always, shop uniquely. Shop defensively.

Hornbeek honored as top senior gymnast in the nation
TUCSON, Ariz. Arizona senior Heidi Hornbeek was named the winner of the AAI American Award, honoring the top senior gymnast in the nation for excellence in academics and athletics. The American Award, sponsored by American Athletic Incorporated, is voted on by gymnastics coaches throughout the nation, and Hornbeek's honor marks the first time an Arizona gymnast has won the award.
"This honor is extremely significant for Heidi (Hornbeek) and our program," said Arizona head coach Bill Ryden. "She is the epitome of the ultimate student-athlete. She has gone above and beyond the call of duty in athletics and academics for the last five years, and I am proud to have coached the most-highly decorated gymnast in Arizona history."
Hornbeek posted 32 top-five finishes and won nine event titles during her final season, and she holds Arizona's top individual season scores on vault (9.950) and bars (9.925). She competed in the all-around in seven out of the last eight meets and scored over the 39.000 mark in six of the competitions. Hornbeek, a six-time All-America and seven-time All-Pac-10 selection, was restricted to the uneven bars for the first four weeks of the season due to a nagging ankle injury. She was named to both the Pacific-10 Conference's All-Academic (first) team (2000, 1999, 1997) and the GTE Academic All-District VIII team (2000, 1999, 1997), receiving both accolades for the third time in her Wildcat career.
Hornbeek, a 5-2 fifth-year senior from Glendale, Ariz., has earned a permanent place in the Arizona record books. Her career-high marks of 39.700 in the all-around, a 10.000 on vault, a 9.950 on beam and a 10.000 on floor are the top individual event scores in Arizona history, while her career-high 9.950 on bars ranks as the third-best UA gymnastics score.
Also, in other gymnastics news, sophomore Randi Liljenquist earned second-team All-America honors at the NCAA Championships last weekend for her performance in the all-around. Liljenquist tied for 18th overall in the all-around finals April 13 with a score of 39.075. Liljenquist, who entered the finals as the No. 4 at-large seed in the all-around, made her first trip to the national championships and was the only Arizona gymnast to qualify for NCAAs.
Liljenquist, a 5-2 sophomore from Tucson, Ariz., tied for 26th on both vault (9.750) and bars (9.725), and she tied for 13th in the beam (9.775) and floor (9.825) events at the NCAA Championships. Liljenquist's all-around score of 39.075 ties her seventh-best all-around score this season. She competed in the all-around in every meet this year, and she scored over the 39.000 mark in 10 out of 14 competitions.
"Randi (Liljenquist) did a really good job at NCAAs, and she just had a fantastic year," said Arizona head coach Bill Ryden. "Her performance in the NCAA meet is just another example of what she has done all year. She was incredibly consistent every week of competition, and she went out on the floor at the national championships and gave it her best shot. Randi had a phenomenal sophomore season, and she represented the program extremely well."
Liljenquist, a two-time All-Pac-10 selection, earned all-conference honors for the first time in her career as a result of her performances on beam and in the all-around this season. She posted 40 top-five finishes and won 17 first-place titles, including six career all-around titles, in only her first season as an all-around competitor. Liljenquist holds Arizona's top individual scores for the year on bars (9.925), beam (9.925), floor (10.000) and in the all-around (39.525). She became only the fifth gymnast in school history to score a perfect 10.000 following her career-high floor performance March 3 in the Michigan meet.
After only two years in the program, Liljenquist's career-high marks in
all four events and in the all-around have earned her a place in the
Arizona record books. Her career-high 39.525 in the all-around tied the No.
2 score in school history, and her career-high 10.000 on floor tied senior
Heidi Hornbeek for the school record in the event. Liljenquist's
career-high 9.925 on beam placed her in a tie for the third-best beam
score, her career-high 9.925 on bars tied the fifth-highest Arizona score,
and her career-high 9.850 on vault has moved her into a tie for the
eighth-best Wildcat vault score.

[MEXT] LISP as a solution for some part of the DMM requirement
Charles E. Perkins <charles.perkins <at> earthlink.net>
Hello folks, At IETF 81, LISP for mobile devices was presented. While I am not yet convinced about the specific solution presented, I started to look at LISP as a possible component of an overall DMM solution. LISP has a website: http://www.lisp4.net For people who are unfamiliar, this issue of IPJ has a tutorial article about LISP: http://www.lisp4.net/docs/ipj_11-1.pdf The LISP draft for mobile nodes is accessible here: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-meyer-lisp-mn/ Comments? I think that LISP should be added to the comparison matrix in my draft with Dapeng Liu. Would that be helpful? Regards, Charlie P.

Dr. Oz revealed the hidden dangers of food ingredients that could be putting you at risk for cancer on the Jan. 24 episode of the Dr. Oz Show.
"I'm going to tell you what food manufacturers don't want you to know," said Dr. Oz.
Dr. Oz said the chemical 4-MEI is a caramel coloring used in some of your favorite foods, including soda, bread, gravies, sauces and pancake syrup.
Caramel Coloring Is a Carcinogen
4-MEI is so commonly used to color foods, but Consumer Reports said the caramel coloring is a potential carcinogen that can cause cancer.
Dr. Urvashi Rangan of Consumer Reports said the consumer magazine is pressuring the FDA to set limits for 4-MEI use in foods, and to prohibit food manufacturers from labeling products containing caramel coloring as "all-natural."
Today, there are many foods in stores that claim to be "all-natural" with "no artificial ingredients" when, in fact, they contain caramel coloring. Dr. Oz is outraged that people are unknowingly consuming carcinogens and exposing themselves to cancer.
Triclosan in Antibacterial Soap Disrupts Hormones
Dr. Oz said another dangerous ingredient is a chemical called triclosan, which is found in antibacterial soap.
Heather White of the Environmental Working Group told Dr. Oz that triclosan (which is also used in pesticides) disrupts hormone function by wreaking havoc on your endocrine system. When your hormones get out of whack, you gain weight and experience chronic fatigue.
Ironically, triclosan (commonly used in antibacterial soaps) weakens your resistance to bacteria, making it easier for you to get sick. Dr. said the following products contain triclosan:
- Antibacterial soap
- Deodorants
- Toothpaste
- Mouthwash
- Food cutting boards
- Antibacterial hand sanitizers.
Epsom Salt Baths and Foam Rollers Relieve Back Pain
Dr. Oz said almost everyone experiences back pain at some point. He said you can relieve back pain by doing the following:
Epsom salt bath. Take a 15-minute bath in epsom salt twice a week to relax your back muscles. On a previous episode, Dr. Oz said an epsom salt bath also helps your body release toxins and promotes weight loss (you can take an inch off your thighs and stomach with one bath).
Foam roller stretches. Dr. Oz said you can ease back pain and increase your flexibility by using a foam roller to stretch out your body. Foam-rolling also increases blood flow to your muscles, skin and tendons, de-stresses you, and prevents injury.
Chia Seeds Block Fat Absorption and Enhance Sleep
Dr. Oz said chia seeds have many health benefits, including aiding weight loss, making your hair strong and shiny, and aiding sleep.
Dr. Oz said chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health and relieves depression. They're also high in fiber, and contain magnesium, amino acids, and protein, so they suppress appetite and aid digestion.

Women's Tennis Falls at Milwaukee, 4-3
April 5, 2014
MILWAUKEE - The UIC women's tennis team (5-10, 2-1 HL) dropped its first Horizon League match of the season Saturday with a 4-3 defeat at Milwaukee (10-7, 4-0 HL). The Flames won three singles matches but lost the doubles point at North Shore Elite Sports Club.
UIC, which has won the Horizon League Tournament 17-straight seasons, lost for just the second time in Horizon League play over the last 18 years. The Flames are now 120-2 in conference play in that span.
Natalia Kuvakina and Mariana Palacios easily won at the first singles spot by a score of 8-2. The pair picked up its second win at No. 1 this season. Jana Knoppe and Ann-Sophie Hahn fell by a score of 8-5 to Hayley Marshall and Alysa Straub at the second singles position while Keti Mebuke and Veronica Lacerda were defeated at the third spot by Christina Colarossi and Kristin Kurer, 8-3.
Following a tight first set, Kuvakina fell to Diana Tokar in straight sets (7-5, 6-2) at the No. 1 position. Palacios (6-1, 6-3), Knoppe (6-0, 6-2) and Mebuke (6-2, 6-1) all won in straight sets at the No. 2, 3 and 4 positions. Knoppe has won 11 consecutive matches while Palacios (4) and Mebuke (3) also own win streaks in singles play.
Hahn fell at the No. 5 position in straight sets (6-1, 6-0) before the decisive matchup between Lacerda and Kurer at the sixth spot. Lacerda won the long first set, 7-5, before dropping the final two sets by scores of 6-4, 6-4.
The Flames conclude the Wisconsin road trip against Green Bay at 2 p.m. on Sunday. UIC picked up a 7-0 victory during last season's meeting at home.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Partners Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer failed to win FDA approval for use of the oral Factor Xa inhibitor Eliquis® (apixaban) in the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. The agency's Complete Response Letter (CRL) requested additional information on data management and verification from the Phase III Aristotle trial, but hasn't asked for the completion of any new studies.
The firms say they will work with the drug regulator to define the next steps toward achieving approval. In the meantime Eliquis is under review in the EU and Japan for the stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation indication, backed by data from 24,000 patients in the pivotal Aristotle and Averroes studies.
Eliquis was approved in Europe in May 2010 for use in the prevention of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in adults undergoing elective hip or knee replacement surgery. The clinical program for the anticoagulant is projected to include some 60,000 patients across multiple indications, and includes nine completed or ongoing Phase III studies.
BMS and Pfizer teamed up in 2007 to develop Eliquis, which was originally discovered by BMS. Under terms of the initial development plan, Pfizer funds 60% of all development costs, and the firms jointly develop the clinical and marketing strategy, and share commercialization expenses and profits equally on a global basis. BMS manufactures the product.

Summit County Attorney David Brickey estimates that if all seven of the current drug court participants succeed in graduating, the county will save $70,000 a year.
"That's the cost of a full-time prosecutor," Brickey said. "If they complete the program successfully, they are not a drain on the system. We are not having to rebook them and house them if someone stays out of our jail system."
Utah calls these experimental programs "Problem-Solving Courts," and gives counties one to two years to "prove themselves," he said.
"You have to be certified by the state, and they give you a time period you can perform as a Problem-Solving Court," he said. "At the end of that problem solving period, if you don't have funding in place, mechanisms to show it will be self-sufficient, they won't certify you."
Everyone involved during the 11 months Summit County's drug court program has been in place has been serving pro bono, including the attorneys, judge and Valley Mental Health.
The Summit County Attorney's Office is looking for ways the drug court can be more self-sufficient, such as applying for a 501c3 tax exemption status so people can donate money.
"It's a way to partner with the community in a way that shows immediate returns for investing in this," Brickey said. "Urinalyses alone are about $15 each. I would have a hard time coming up with $45 a week myself, so it can be challenging.
Brickey said all the Wasatch Front counties have drug courts, including Wasatch County. But Summit County does not.
"And we need to fix that," he said.
Brickey said the program has been working. Since it has been in operation, two of the participants have graduated to a higher level within the program.
"We're curtailing their daily appearance in court because they have been doing well," Brickey said. "If you told me a year ago this is where these two individuals would be, I would not have thought it possible."
Both individuals were drug users, and one had a severe alcohol addiction as well.
In October 2010, Cassie White, 24, Park City, launched her car off the corner of Highland Drive and landed in a house.
She was charged with third-degree felony jail damage, two counts of class A misdemeanor assault on a health care provider, class A misdemeanor reckless endangerment, class B misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, class B misdemeanor interference with arresting officers and class C misdemeanor speeding.
"Today, Cassie's got a job," Brickey said. "She's been sober for several months, and she's actually very pleasant when she comes to court. Previously she was very dour, frustrated and angry when she'd come to court. Today, she looks wonderful."
Brent Ryberg, 23, Park City, was charged last November with second-degree felony burglary, second-degree felony possession of a controlled substance within a correctional facility and class B misdemeanor theft.
"He was fighting with his family and was told not to come around his parent's home, and he had a twin bother that wouldn't speak to him," Brickey said. "Now, he has a job and is trying to figure out how to get back in school. On Monday, he was in court telling everyone he was looking forward to having Thanksgiving with his family."


text:
There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and government policy continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion.
The generally amicable relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom.
The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom issues with the Government in the context of its overall dialog and policy of promoting human rights.
Section I. Religious Demography
The country has a total area of 19,652 square miles, and its population is approximately 4 million.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Religion, 72 percent of the population is Catholic, with 40 percent of that figure actively practicing Catholicism. A November 2001 Demoscopia, Inc. poll found that an estimated 19 percent belong to other Christian, non-Catholic churches. Approximately 1 percent of the population practiced non-Christian faiths and 10 percent practiced no religion at all. The non-Catholic Christian population is divided among the mainstream Protestant denominations, such as the Methodist, Baptist, and Episcopalian churches, and also among the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Jehovah's Witnesses, and Seventh-day Adventists. A Mormon temple in San Jose serves as a regional worship center for Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Jehovah's Witnesses have a strong presence on the Caribbean coast and represent less than 1 percent of the population. Seventh-day Adventists operate a university, attracting students from throughout the Caribbean basin. Non-Christian religions, including Judaism, Islam, Taoism, Hare Krishna, Scientology, and the Baha'i Faith, claim membership throughout the country with the majority of worshippers residing in the country's Central Valley.
The country's tradition of tolerance and professed pacifism has attracted many religious groups. The Jewish population constitutes less than 1 percent of the country's total; many of its members found refuge before and during the Second World War. The mountain community of Monteverde, a popular tourist destination, was founded during the Korean War by a group of Quakers from the United States, acting on their convictions as conscientious objectors. The country welcomed this community, as well as those of Mennonites, Beechy Amish, and other pacifist religious groups.
Section II. Status of Religious Freedom
Legal/Policy Framework
The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice.
The Constitution establishes Roman Catholicism as the state religion and requires that the State contribute to its maintenance; however, it also prohibits the State from impeding the free exercise of other religions that do not impugn universal morality or proper behavior. Members of all denominations freely practice their religion without government interference. In the event of a violation of religious freedom, the victim's remedy is to file a lawsuit with the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court, which may order the defendant to pay a fine, serve jail time, or compensate the plaintiff for such discrimination.
There is no general tax exoneration for the Catholic Church or any other church; there is an exoneration only for real estate that is used directly for worship by any religious organization. The blanket exoneration previously enjoyed by the Catholic Church was amended in 1992. The law allows for the Government to provide land to the Catholic Church. In some cases, the Government retains ownership of the land but grants the Church free use. In other situations, property simply is donated to the Church. This second method commonly is used to provide land for the construction of local churches. These methods do not meet all needs of the Church, which also buys some land outright. Government-to-Church land transfers are not covered under any blanket legislation. Instead, they are handled by specific legislative action once or twice per year.
The Government does not inhibit the establishment of churches through taxes or special licensing for religious organizations. However, churches must incorporate to have legal standing, like any other organization, and must have a minimum of twelve members.
Various traditionally Catholic religious holidays are considered national holidays. However, if an individual wishes to observe another religious holiday, the Labor Code provides the necessary flexibility for that observance, upon the employer's approval.
Although not mandatory, Catholic religious instruction is provided in the public schools. Students may obtain exemptions from this instruction with the permission of their parents. The school director, the student's parents, and the student's teacher must agree on an alternative course of instruction for the exempted student during the time of the Catholic instruction. The exempted student is encouraged to remain on school grounds during this time. Religious education teachers in public schools must be certified by the Roman Catholic Church Conference, which does not certify teachers from other denominations or faiths. This certification is not required of public school educators who teach subjects other than religion. Denominational and nondenominational private schools are free to offer any religious instruction they choose.
Only officials of the Catholic Church can officiate marriages that are automatically recognized by the state. In addition, the government traditionally affords the Catholic Church an opportunity to participate in social, economic and political events. The Catholic Church has been actively involved in negotiations to end two recently concluded labor strikes, one by public school teachers and one by electrical/telecom (ICE) workers. The Archbishop of San Jose served as a witness to an earlier agreement between the Government and the ICE unions, which was concluded in February. The Archbishop also recently signed a manifesto against child labor during a ceremony that was attended by President Abel Pacheco and leading members of the media.
The Government does not restrict the establishment of churches. All applications for the establishment of places of worship are submitted to the local municipality, and must comply with safety and noise regulations. New churches, primarily evangelical Protestant churches that are located in residential neighborhoods, occasionally have conflicts with local governments due to neighbors' complaints about noise and traffic. Some churches reportedly have been closed by municipalities, health departments, or police as a result of such conflicts. In contrast, established Catholic Churches often were built around a municipal square and rarely present such problems.
Despite the official status of the Catholic Church, the Constitution places strict limits on the involvement in politics of any clergy or layman motivated by religion.
Foreign missionaries and clergy of all denominations work and proselytize freely.
Restrictions on Religious Freedoms
Government policy and practice contributed to the generally free practice of religion.
Catholic instruction is provided in all public schools. Parents have the option of sending their children to private schools, which may offer alternative religious instruction. Parents do not have the option of home schooling their children.
The majority of state-run hospitals in the country have Catholic priests on staff who console sick and dying patients. However, Protestants and other non-Catholics have voiced concern that their clergy must follow routine administrative procedures for the general public to gain entrance into most hospitals. These routine administrative procedures can be strict and cumbersome. Some Protestant ministers have administrative agreements with hospitals that permit their uninhibited entrance; however, the hospital director may revoke these agreements at any time. At the end of the period covered by this report, a Protestant minister in the Legislative Assembly who represents the Renovation Party was seeking passage of a bill that would sanction in law the rights of non-Catholic clergy to enter and work in hospitals to console sick and dying patients. The law also would provide a legal framework for the establishment and operation of non-Catholic churches, including the accreditation of their officials.
While the required oath for government service includes the phrase "before God and country," an alternate oath is available to those who choose to use it.
There were no reports of religious prisoners or detainees.
Forced Religious Conversion
There were no reports of forced religious conversion, including of minor U.S. citizens who had been abducted or illegally removed from the United States, or of the refusal to allow such citizens to be returned to the United States.
Section III. Societal Attitudes
Amicable relations exist among members of the country's different religions, including religious minorities. The country has a history of tolerance.
Section IV. U.S. Government Policy
The U.S. Embassy discusses religious freedom issues with the Government in the context of its overall dialog and policy of promoting human rights. Embassy officials have met with the Archbishop of San Jose to discuss economic, social and labor issues. The Embassy also has contact with the Protestant minister who holds a seat in the Legislative Assembly and has an interest in children's issues. Finally, the Embassy coordinates with the Ministry of Foreign Relations' Director of Religion regarding multilateral efforts to ban all forms of human cloning.

GEORGETOWN -- Sussex County Council wants more time for analysis and discussion before possibly unleashing an authoritative ordinance designed to muzzle "excessive" barking dogs.
The proposed draft ordinance, as presented by Deputy Administrator Hal Godwin at council's July 16 meeting, identifies violations as any dog that barks continuously for 30 minutes or more anytime of the day, or any canine that habitually engages in howling, crying, whining, or barking between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.
County constables would enforce the county code ordinance, mediation the preferred initial phase. Fines would range from $25 to $300, depending on the number of offenses.
Council members, after Mr. Godwin's presentation, chimed in with thoughts and concerns -- and their decision was to put on hold for several weeks any action on introduction of an ordinance to adopt Chapter 97 regarding excessive dog barking into Sussex County Code.
"It seems a little confusing," said Councilman George Cole, R-Ocean View. "Constables, are they on duty 24 hours a day? This will add a different aspect to how we have constables available. Would designate a certain constable each night or each day that would be available to respond to this complaint?"
"Say our constable is called out at 2 o'clock in the morning … a barking dog. Does he (constable) have to sit there for a half hour?" said Councilman Sam Wilson, R-Georgetown, adding that the complaint could be a matter of a neighborly feud. "Maybe (it's) one neighbor against another. This is getting to be a hassle if you really want to look at it."
"If you're going to hear a dog barking you have got to be there," added Mr. Wilson. "If you don't hear it, that's hearsay."
"Well, likely there are witnesses if we have complaints," said Councilwoman Joan Deaver, D-Lewes.
"One of the things you have to remember, law enforcement rarely witnesses a crime," said County Attorney Everett Moore. "State police all of the time go out and question witnesses. I would anticipate the same with our constable. The constable doesn't actually have to hear it."
Under the current proposal, a barking dog that is provoked -- be it human or animal -- or is intentionally teased would be exempt from the code per incident.
Mr. Godwin noted that both Kent and New Castle counties have such waiver exemptions in their animal noise ordinances. He added that many people have dogs that serve as watch-dogs.
"We may have them chained or they may be near the front of the home, and if someone approaches we want the dog to sound," said Mr. Godwin. "Or if in my own case I know that we have a lot of deer. The deer walk by the dog 's house, wakes the dog up, he's going to bark for a few minutes."
Mr. Godwin said that the experience in Kent County is that often barking dog problems are solved neighborly through mediation.
"I would think that possibly the first step would be to take the complaint to whoever complained, take it to the complainer, and find out what the details are," said Mr. Godwin. "If it's the next door neighbor's dog, go talk to the next door neighbor next. As the lady explained to us from Kent County, they have a lot of mediation where they just go talk to folks and often the problem goes away."

It seems like the 8-bit and 16-bit retro video games are as hot as ever, spiking demand not only for the cartridge game hits of yesterday but for the consoles to play them on as well.
Among them is the Super Retro Trio console, coming to us from Retro-Bit. This triple console plays games available for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super NES) and Sega Genesis.
Right out of the box, the Super Retro Trio is light but seems sturdy, and is quick to hook up using an s-video and RCA cable connection which is included. The power adapter included is small and light, taking up little room in your power outlet or surge protector.
The controller design is based on the Super NES "dogbone" style controller and does a decent job replicating the feel of the original. The buttons are responsive, but sadly the directional pad on the controller is lacking in accuracy. Attempts to move an on-screen character down all-too-often led to the character moving to the left or right, showing that these controller may present a bit of a problem. Luckily, the Super Retro Trio also allows for players to hook up and use their original NES, Super NES and Genesis controllers, which can be found fairly easily if the gamer doesn't happen to have them around.
The NES port doesn't come without some issues. The top loading slot could be done slightly better, as it allows for a little 'wiggle room' that can cause an NES game to fail to make a proper connection the first time out. Removal of NES games also sometimes requires a pretty good tug, calling the long-term durability of the connector into question.
All of the 14 NES titles tested worked, though some of the games played with slightly altered sound effects. Most notable during testing was the sound of the bonus timer on the original Super Mario Bros. and the crowd roar in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! All tested games, however, played true to the originals.
A minor inconvience with the switch that determines which of the three consoles the Super Retro Trio is set to is that the NES option is the furthest away from the OFF portion of the switch. Given that the NES slot proved problematic, this became a minor yet notable annoyance during testing when trying to get games to boot.
The Super NES slot contained far less trouble. Every game inserted into the slot worked perfectly right out of the gate and stayed in the console quite firmly. Testing of 11 different Super NES titles showed proper gameplay and sound effects, but the colors of each game appeared a little washed out compared to an original Super NES. This was especially noticable on games such as Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country and WWF Royal Rumble, all of which should have far richer color than what the Super Retro Trio displayed.
The Sega Genesis slot is where the console shines the most. All eight of the games used to test the console attached firmly in the slot, worked right away and played so close to accurate that only the deepest of Sega die-hard would notice anything different.
The Super Retro Trio retails for $69.99, which is a decent value in an era where the original consoles can each fetch that kind of price to the right buyers. There is an optional $45 add-on that add the ability to play Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games on the console that was not included with the provided review copy and therefore not part of this review.
The product brings good design to the modern retro gaming console market, with only a few minor annoyances that detract from the overall experience.
All-in-all, the Super Retro Trio is a good product for the more casual consumers who wish to re-live their younger video gaming days or for children who might have an interest in retro game titles. The more die-hard fans of the games of yesterday will likely still prefer the original consoles for some of the other multi-console products on the market.

You can't be surprised when shooting after shooting in the schools they fail to take measures to deal with the situation the next time it happens. I've seen Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants with inch+ thick bullet proof (I assume) glass that looked like a high security bank- downtown Baltimore of course.

Good response by the LEO, and internal lockdown proceedures seemed to have helped.
Saw it earlier on Fox news. I wonder when the mainstream media libtards are going to start claiming he was using an "assault" shotgun. FOX just said he used a shotgun. That surely won't be headline grabbing enough for the libtards at MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS!

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Stolen Guitars Recovered

The rock act's vintage gear was stolen from the Culver Studios last week.

It was a heartbreaker for Tom Petty and the band when someone stole five of their precious guitars from a soundstage, but it was music to their ears when police in Southern California announced Tuesday that the instruments had been recovered.
One person was arrested in connection with the theft, police Lt. Ron Iizuka said. He declined to provide other details pending an afternoon press conference.
A message seeking comment from the band's publicist, Jim Merlis, was not immediately returned.
The instruments were reported stolen last Thursday from The Culver Studios, a sprawling complex of soundstages west of downtown Los Angeles where Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers had been rehearsing for an upcoming tour.
The instruments were Petty's blond 1967 maple 12-string Rickenbacker and his Gibson SGTVJunior, Mike Campbell's blue Dusenberg, Ron Blair's Fender Broadcaster and Scott Thurston's 1967 Epiphone Sheridan.
On its website, the band offered a "no questions asked" $7,500 reward for information leading to the return of the instruments.
Their return comes as the band prepared to kick off their tour Wednesday in Broomfield, Colo.
The band is known for a string of hit singles, including "American Girl", "Don't Do Me Like That" and "Breakdown."

Of the 150 "watch-standers" at Charleston, South Carolina's Nuclear Power Training unit, at least two dozen sailors are being looked at by the Navy's Criminal Investigative Service for cheating on tests "designed to qualify them as instructors."
Allegations arose Monday after a senior enlisted officer at the Goose Creek facility, northeast of Charleston, "refused to compromise his integrity" and reported the systemic cheating he'd observed on written exams.
Navy officials took immediate action to investigate the allegations.
While the Navy insists the nuclear propulsion test scandal has not compromised "the trigger" on the nation's nuclear weapons, the nuclear power plant operators who are under suspicion have had their access revoked.
Officials on base have indicated that all personnel involved in the investigation will be re-tested to "validate their knowledge."
The training reactors where shut down immediately when Navy authorities became aware of the incident.
Identification is required to enter the main facility of the Naval Weapons Station and "high clearance" is needed to enter the nuclear training area on base.
This N.C.I.S. investigation comes hot-on-the-heels of a recent Air Force cheating scandal and allegations of drug possession by Air Force officers.
Examiner's Note: It's beginning to look like the United States military has become a training ground for bad behavior and poor ethics. Sex scandals involving officers are a dime a dozen. This week a private defense contractor pleaded guilty to being the "Godfather of Camp Pendleton" in his dealings with military personnel on base. Yesterday, the National Guard was accused of recruiting scandals including kickbacks and bribes. Read more here.

Update on St. Lucia
Here's what has been reported about St. Lucia by the Sun Sentinel's wire services in the past 24 hours:
Tomas struck St. Lucia as a category-1 hurricane Sunday, CNN reported Wednesday, and caused major damage by the time winds subsided Monday night.
Tomas killed at least 14 people and left seven missing in St. Lucia, where it caused more than $37 million in damage, The Associated Press reported Wednesday. In nearby St. Vincent, the storm wrecked more than 1,200 homes and caused nearly $24 million in damage to crops, especially bananas — one of St. Vincent's top commodities.
Tomas also wiped out the banana crop in St. Lucia, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday.
