Compact, good user interface, BBC iPlayer support, AccuWeather now supports the UK (and all countries, the internet radio sources are intelligent and good, the ability to sync voice up to +2/-2 seconds is SO useful, YouTube works well, FaceBook access is good.
The Accuweather tile is intelligent (like Win 8) and alternates between the immediate forecast and the next 5 days.
Built in "n" WiFi is excellent.
I like it!
The one and only USB port is on the side so the USB to my hard drive sticks out sideways and looks really messy, whereas when it is on the back, it is hidden.
The disk stays powered up and spinning when the device is on standby - not green and not good for the drive.
Fix the above two issues and I would rate it higher still.

Awesome piece of kit and roughly the size of an Apple TV makes this a neat little addition to your living room.
Menu's are really easy to navigate and the optional smartphone remote control option, means you can tuck this away without having it on show.
Only downside is that it does not support DTS decoding, however it does support DTS Pass-through for both HDMI and Optical. Really good buy, just be aware of the DTS restriction if you don't have a suitable decoder.

OK for playing content from home PCs and Storage, but the online 'apps' are very limited, and (despite the product description) there is no way to add more. For example, Flixter doesn't let me access movies in my Flixter account. Facebook doesn't show any pictures. If you are into US College Sports you are well catered for though! It really should have ITV Player along with 4OD and Demand 5. Useful for streaming music and films stored locally, but limited as a web application.....

The documentation stated it supports a wide range of formats including .mts files. This just happens to be the majority of my video files and why I chose this product. However, when I try to play these files, via either the USB or network connection, I get the error message "Unable to play the selected file. Please see the User Manual for a list of supported file formats.". There's nothing wrong with the files, they play perfectly on my PC, immediately loading in Windows Media Player, and also if I play them back through the USB on my HD Digital TV Receiver. This WD TV Play product therefore appears to have been a complete waste of my time and money.

vec2web 220.127.116.11-1, latest source package available from www (although windows binary is 188.8.131.52), compiled with Qt 3.3.7 under GNU/Linux.
Problem: all texts that exist in dxf file disappear after conversion. Tried both .png and .ps outputs - all lines are there, but no text, empty places instead.
Export from QCad (File -> Export) to .png works properly, all texts are present in the output, as expected. Unfortunatelly there's no .ps output available here, and I need .ps files for inclusion into LATEX.
What's wrong with texts in vec2web ?

Reel 209, Item 1
MCP: ...Tell me about when you were a little boy....
GC: ...My daddy told me when I was a small boy that if
I'd stay at home— him and my mother went to Broomfield,
she'd get me some marbles, you know. Well,
he did so. Well, I was a great marble player, and
the boys would come in there. Of course, it was
thinly settled, a mile was about the closest anyone
was to us. And on Sundays that was our game.
We'd play marbles. Well, the girls wore hoops at
that time, great big old things. And, of course,
we was playing marbles, a game up there, and I
shot at a fellow with my marble, and it rolled under
this girl's hoops dress. Well, I was shamefaced,
you see, kid-like. So-and-so he said,
"Shoot, shoot." And I says, "I can't." And he
s a y s,--"What's a matter?" And I says, "I can't get
my marble." And this girl— they was jumping rope—
all right there together, playing. And she happened
to look around and discovered my predicament,
and she moved on, and I got my marble.
MCP: Did you ever see grown men shoot marbles?
GC: Yes, mom, and play base and play cat....
MCP: What was cat?
GC: Well, that waw I'd get here and you'd get behind me.
And there was one down there and a fellow behind
him. Well, we'd be partners with the bat, you see,
and they'd throw this ball to my partner down there.
Well, if he struck it and knocked it and they
caught it, we was both out. They went to bat and we
had to throw the ball, you see.
MCP: An early kind of baseball, wasn't it?
Reel 209, Item 1, con't 1
GC:Yes, mom, baseball wasn't thought of then....Then
we called what was called a base. I don't know
whether you ever heard of that. They choose up.
There was five or six on each base, one up here
and one down there. We played base, grown men
played that with us, yes, they played that.
MCP: Did you ever go to any play parties?
GC: Yes, mom, quiltings....
MCP: And after they got through quilting you played
GC: Yes, mom, they played "Polly Lost The Thimble"....
Let's see, was that it? Well, anyhow, they *
played with what was called a thimble. Well, the
boys would set around down here and they'd have
a thimble. And they was one in the center, and
she'd go around and we had our hands down this-away.
She'd rub her hands between ours and go to
the next one, and she'd go clear around. And then
they'd say, "Polly, who's got the thimble?" Well,
the thimble, he got up, he or she— it was generally
a woman, a girl'd have a boy. Well, there, she'd
start after— he'd start after to kiss her. He'd
run her, and she'd run around that circle now—
we was all standing in a circle— and if she could
go clear on around without him a-catching her to
her own place, he didn't get to kiss her....
MCP: You had other kinds of kissing games, too, didn't
GC: Yes, mom. Then there was "Drop The Handkerchief."
Yes, all kinds of games. And then the dancing got
into the...
MCP: Did you go to the dancing?
GC: First dance I ever danced, I recollect a girl, she
was a neighbor. I used to delight in dancing....
Margaret Harper. Yes, square dancing. She's dead,
died before she ever married.
Reel 209, Item 1, con't. 2
MCP: Who'd play for your square dances?
GC: Well, we'd all chip in, but the fiddler sometimes
wouldn't cost us anything, you know. There was
plenty of just old hoe-down fiddlers, you know...
tunes, to make a little fuss. Well, we'd go to
MCP: If you couldn't get a fiddler, you could just
GC: Yes, they didn't sing much, that they didn't do.
But the funniest thing in school was back when
they'd form a big row, maybe it'd be ten or fif-teen.
They called it "Popping The Whip." Well,
they'd make a circle around this way and then come
back in thataway...the front ones, it didn't hurt
them, they was the ones that was doing that. But
the one on the end— the first thing you know he'd
go a-tumbling....
MCP: That sounds like a rough game.
GC: Yes, it was, the teachers stopped that...it was
too rough. They was afraid they'd break their
arm or something. They'd get a green one on
there. They couldn't get one, once they'd
played it once, you see. But they'd get a new
one, come into school or something, and get him
on it.
MCP: After you were bigger, did you ever take anybody
snipe hunting?
GC: No, mom, no, I never did....I know of two that's
taken it, personal friends. George Magnus, from
this place, taken it down at Newport, old Jackson-port.
He was a bookkeeper down there. The boys
got him up one night t o hold a sack....George—
they left him out there, you know, no, they commenced
a-shooting— they told him it was against
the law to shoot snipes on that man's place. So
Reel 209, Item 1, con't. 3
the rest of them said they'd go out and hold the
sacks different places. But anyhow, then directly,
they come a-shooting right here close to George,
and he couldn't stand it. So he lit out back to
town, and he run on that bluff bank, that creek
bank, Jack's Creek....He liked to killed himself.
The next morning he was going to kill the boys.
Yes, oh, he got awful mad about it....I never was
into none of them kinds of scrapes.
MCP: I bet you liked to read when you were a child.
Was there much to read around?
GC: Yes, we'd get these story papers, taken a paper
that continued stories. My cousin and I, we read,
he'd read to me, he was the best reader. Two years
older, and he had a good education. He graduated
before I did. Well, we didn't call graduation,
it was a diploma, we got a diploma.
MCP: Would you have a big to-do at the school house?
GC: Oh, law, we'd have a big time....Now, I can tell
you how they'd go in, they'd class you all. You
and I and Dutton and him, we'd all be in the same
class, we'd say, take arithmetic. They'd examine,
anyhow, the whole outfit, and they'd put us in a
class. Well, every month now, they'd examine us.
And if I fell back and didn't come up with my end
of the rope, you may say, why, I still stayed back.
But if you got ahead, learned faster, why, they'd
push you on, see. That'd get you farther ahead.
That'd encourage us fellows...so that we'd get a
promotion, you might say. And, of course, every
month you got it, and them that was old deadheads
like some of them, why, they'd still stay down
there in the same class, you see. But they'd have
higher classes— one, two, and three. The third
class was the highest in all these studies. And
when one got to that third class, he was all
right....I just went sixteen months, all. I went
for six months and then come back and made the
crop, went and stayed ten months at school. That's
all the high school, but I made good use of it.
Reel 209, Item 1, con't. 4
MCP: I bet you did, if you taught twenty-five or twenty-six
GC: Had these old great lamps, just say bowls, something
like that and a spout laying out here. Well, they'd
twist them a long wick and they'd put it in that
grease there and let that grease extend out and light
it, and it'd give pretty good light. Not as good as
a candle though. And that's the kind of the first
lights that we first had now. it was the old grease
light. And the next one that come along was the candle...
next, a little brass lamp with a linger hold
around the edge; you could carry it around, you
MCP: I'd like to see some of those old grease lamps.
Do you know anybody who has one?
GC: No'm, I don't know of anyone that's got one. Just
a little round bowl with a little pitcher of a spout,
you see. Lay that wick in there, make the wick
sometimes a foot long, and just coil it around in
there. And when it burned awhile, they had clippers,
scissors, and they just clipped the cinders
off the end and that'd make it burn better....
MCP: What did people do in the winter time around the
fire to amuse themselves?
GC: Well...they'd set there and sometimes they'd
have some peanuts and they'd eat some of them.
And they never set up very long...be up before day,
before four o'clock, you know.
MCP: Did you have a church near you?
GC: Yes, mom, no. Anderson's School, used it for a
church house...it was a Methodist. Circuit rider
used to come to my uncle's. That was his headquarters.
He'd come in there— he'd make that onct a
month, he'd come in there. Then there was some
local preachers in there, a fellow Chasteen, he was
a Methodist, no, he was a Baptist...'course, Tribble
was our own Methodist, I can recollect of it. He
Reel 209, Item 1, con't. 5
preached there maybe a couple of three years....
Now that was that onct a month they'd have that
church....There was Chasteen, and old man Horton—
old man Horton was a Methodist, but Chasteen
was a Baptist— they was kind of what you'd call
the exalters. Chasteen was a regular preacher,
but old Uncle Horton, Billy, he'd get up and
talk, you know. They'd call them exalters.
They wouldn't take no sermon, no text, you know.
MCP: And exalt people to come up to the mourners'
GC: Mourners' bench, they'd come to the mourners'
bench. Maybe there'd be three or four or five
down at one time, you know. And they'd shout...
and the first thing you'd know they'd have one
turning loose over there. And one'd shout and
then another. And then the camp meeting, we had
one camp meeting, I can just recollect one camp
meeting. That was at my uncle's. Yes, that was
all the denominations come in there.
MCP: How long did it last, a week?
GC: Week, yes.
MCP: And people'd go and carry enough food for a week?
GC: Yes, and some of them cooked....I was about fifteen
then, sixteen....Preachers from all denominations
come and one of them would preach today, you
know, and another'n, and they would go off in kind
of bunches. 'Course us boys didn't know nothing
about what they was after. It was church members,
grown people. And the women would go off in one
and have a time, and then the men. They'd both maybe
go out at the same time and they'd go off and after
while come back and go to preaching. It was of
a morning they'd generally do that. Some of them
said they went off to prayer and pray to get ready
for church, or organize. I don't know about that.
Reel 209, Item 1, con't. 6
MCP: Now what would the young people your age be doing
while they were doing that?
GC: We was just there setting around, we was in the
woods....We wasn't doing nothing, just like young
fellows, only maybe some of us sparking, you know.
They wouldn't be under no control until the preachers
come back. When they commenced, then everything
ceased then.
MCP: Was it just the brush arbor they had services
GC: They had a lot of brush arbors, but this camp
meeting didn't have it. We used the school house...
MCP: Did you sleep in wagons or on the ground?
GC: Under the wagons and around about. Some of us slept
in the house...Yeah, the families would go there
and take their bedding and such as that. And some
of them cooked on the ground. 'Course we'd just stay
there part of the time. Us boys went home and went
to work. But the oldest class was there all the
time. On Saturdays and Sundays when they wound up,
why, we was all there.
MCP: Do you remember how people used to tell time before
they had clocks?
GC: ....My uncle got a clock.
MCP: Where'd he get it...do you know?
GC: No, but I recollect the first sewing machine they
got. It was a Howell.
MCP: ...What were some of the signs you went by to tell
what the weather was going to be?
GC: Well, they'd go by Easter, they'd call that Easter
flood. And whip-poor-will, that was a storm. You
could plant your corn then, and there was no danger
of frost or anything like that. After a whip-poor-
will's storm, when you first hear the whip-
Reel 209, Item 1, con't. 7
poor-wills a-hollering, you don't hear none, or I
don't, now. They'd holler of a night, and you'd
hear one of them hollering. And they say then
the men didn't have to get in no more of the wood,
the women got in all the wood... And I played off
on my first wife up here at Cord. One evening I
was carrying a little wood in, stove wood, and I
heard the whip-poor-will a-hollering. I just
dropped the wood right there...She says, "Where's
your wood?" I says, "Out there." Then I told her
why I did it, you know. I told her when the whip-poor-
will hollered, why, then, the women got in
the wood.
MCP: Do you know any more signs like that?
GC: I know the seven stars. That was the sign of a
night, you know. You could tell what time it was.
Then the evening and morning stars, you know. And
the White Way, Milky Way. And Job's Coffin. And
the Dipper. 'Course that's kept up, I guess, yet,
I don't know....
MCP: Well, did you have any signs about fishing and
GC: Yes...when the dogwood blooms, then you could go
fishing. Catfishing, they claim the catfish bite
when the dogwoods bloom....When I was about five
years old, or six, George was a little older than
I, and there was a lady, Bett Allen, she had two
brothers, Benton and Breck. Well, they kept house.
She was delighted in children. When sermon time
come— she was a great, big, two-hundred pounder,
about 16, 17, 18— 20, probably, I don't know. She
got the people around there to let us boys and girls
to go in swimming. They had two swimming holes,
one was Tom McDowell's and the other was Smith's
swimming hole. So she learned me to swim. By
holding her hands under me, you know...Us boys and
girls all went in that creek there together. It
was Lick Creek, it was about as wide as from here
to across the street there. Fine place. She
learned me to swim.
Reel 209, Item 1, con't. 8
MCP: Did you wear your clothes in swimming?
GC: No, mom, just like we come into the world....
Nobody knew what she done. 'Course she just taken
us down there and stripped us and we went in and we
had a time. But the second time, why, a fellow by
the name of Harper--we was all in there swimming,
that was on a Sunday. She'd been a-going through
the week, but we went on Sunday. I didn't go but
about three or four times, two or three. That was
in my mother's lifetime. So he was out a-hunting,
he wasn't a mean man, but he was a devilish sort
of fellow. And he come up and got our clothes.
Yeah, he said he was going to keep them. And he
give all the kids--said, Now you kids can have
your clothes. But said, Bett ain't a-going to get
hers. 'Course she ducked down in the water, sat
down, the water was along about here to her, before
it was waist deep. That was the first time I ever
heard a woman cuss. Yeah, she cussed him. He set
there and laughed a while, and so he got up and
pulled out. And that broke up our...
MCP: And did he take her clothes?
GC: No, mom, no, mom, he didn't, he was just teasing
her. Well acquainted with her, you know. Breck
and Lacey live right there close to him, you
know...I guess he done it a purpose to have some
fun. And that broke up our swimming....
Mrs. Crosser: Tell them about the snakes.
GC: There was a lot of snakes there. We lived in the
forks about a mile from Lick Creek. My father's
farm run down to Lick Creek. And then a wise on the
north about a mile and a half. We was sort of in
the forks. But the hazel thickets, the hazel nuts,
was thick. And we get out there Sunday, girls and
boys, and get hazel nuts. Play Hull Gull, and
such as that. They would, the big ones. All us
little ones, little fellows, would, too, occasionally.
Well, my brother John, he was eight years, eleven
years, older than me. My father had married twice,
Reel 209, Item 1, con't 9
and we was just half-brothers. And, of course, he
didn't want to be bothered with me, a little old
tad, you know, following around after him, and the
big fellows would come up. Well, one Sunday...
they was going to the creek, and they tried to get
shut of me, you know, still tackled around, you
know, and stay around with them. But finally they
got off someway. And after I found out they was
gone, well, there was a road around my father's
farm to the creek. Then there was a narrow way to
go across a little field and a path went down to
the swimming hole. So we always went thataway
afoot. It was about a half mile down there, I
guess. And I got over the fence, it was just a
path in the hazel thicket....Anyhow, I was a-going
truckling on down that path, you know, I'd been
there a thousand times almost. I was truckling
on down that path and run right up and a big old
rattlesnake was laying across the path, had
crawled in there after they had left, you see. I
was a-run down there, I seed him, I jumped back.
And he commenced singing, and I commenced hollering.
Well, I started back, and I run up pert near to the
fence there before I got up there...and this'n had
called the other and he got in behind me, you see.
And there I was between them two snakes, a-hollering.
But John he heard me. He was down the creek.
They was a-making a lot of noise, but he heard me,
and here he come. And he like to run over that
first snake...I was just a-dashing from one to the
other, you know. I looked and here come another
one, right in the center, right towards me. There
I was now. Why, them snakes would of bit me, I
didn't have no better sense than to. I just thought
the woods was full of them. And now that was my
snake story, and John he killed all three of them.
MCP: Shot them?
GC: No, mom, with his club, stick....
MCP: I bet you're still scared of snakes.
GC: Ever time that they would talk about going anywhere
Reel 209, Item 1, con't. 10
they didn't want me to go, they'd name snakes to
me....Now that there looks like one anyone wouldn't
hardly believe, now that's an honest fact if I ever
told it. Oh, there was a lot of snakes, it was
snaky country.
MCP: Did you ever hear of many people getting snake-bit?
GC: Yes, my father got snake-bit...he was a-cutting
wheat, right in the calf of the leg. They used to
take whiskey to the field for them. When they cut
wheat, they cut with an old cradle. The rattlesnake
bit him in the calf of the leg there. I
seen the scar. Ever summer it'd break out about
that time, and then it'd heal up again....
MCP: You say they took whiskey...
GC: ...in the field. They gave him whiskey. He
drank about a quart. Now, I don't know, they told
me, you know, before it had any effect on him.
See, they had no doctor, didn't know what else to
do, and that's all they used. They tied his
galluses, he had a gallus and they tied it around
his leg and then he drank this whiskey. But he was
drunk for two or three days, they said....But it
killed the poison....

Eagle police helped Eagle County Sheriff's deputies with a traffic stop of a female driver who was suspected of drunken driving on Oct. 27.
The woman smelled of alcohol and said she had two glasses of wine earlier. An Eagle police officer asked her to step out of the car and noted she was unsteady on her feet. The woman was asked to perform voluntary roadside sobriety tests and she eventually agreed. She failed the tests and was arrested for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol.
When given a choice between a blood or a breath test, she refused. She was warned several times that refusing a chemical test would result in her license being automatically revoked for a year. The woman said she had lots of lawyers in her family and wasn't going to submit to a chemical test.
She was booked into the county jail for DUI.
An Eagle Police officer investigated a minor car accident in the City Market parking lot Oct. 31.
A truck had driven slowly into the front bumper of a parked car that had a passenger inside. The passenger was recovering from recent neck surgery and was concerned the accident caused whiplash. Her husband was inside shopping and didn't witness the impact.
The driver of the truck and his passenger said the impact was very minimal. The driver of the car confirmed there was no physical damage to his car.
The woman declined medical attention.
An Eagle Police officer stopped a car on U.S. Highway 6 in unincorporated Eagle County after the car flashed its brights at the officer in the oncoming car.
The officer smelled alcohol and noticed open beer bottles in the car when he spoke with the 19-year-old driver. The three passengers in the car were 19 and 17 years old. All four teens eventually admitted to drinking.
The driver agreed to perform voluntary roadside sobriety tests and failed. He was arrested for further investigation of DUI. At that time it was discovered he had a warrant out of Lake County for failing to comply on another alcohol case and his license had been revoked.
The driver elected a breath test at the jail. His breath alcohol content registered .089, which is over the legal limit of .08. He was booked into jail for the warrant and cited for the remaining charges.
The passengers were cited for underage drinking. The other 19-year-old passenger also had a warrant for his arrest and was taken to jail. The car was towed.
A teacher returned to Eagle Valley Middle School Oct. 31 and discovered that 19 of 22 magnets in his desk had gone missing during his absence.
A student who had been alone in the room for a few minutes was questioned and he admitted to taking the magnets. The student said he apparently just doesn't think before doing things. He was cited for theft.
A resident on Fourth of July Road asked police to deal with a goat that wandered into her yard Nov. 1. Officers captured the goat and called an animal protection officer. A temporary place was found for the goat to stay until its owner came forward.
A man reported that he lost his wallet in Eagle on Oct. 20. He was instructed to cancel his debit and credit cards, and pull a credit report for the next year to make sure he wasn't a victim of identity theft.

Banks still aren't lending much, but there's a universe of alternative financing to discover.During the recession the refrain that banks weren't lending to small businesses was heard so often, it should have its own meme.Fortunately, entrepreneurs are an endlessly resourceful lot, and many discovered an entire world of lending alternatives to help keep them afloat. Once you start looking too, you'll realize alternative lenders have different standards than bank lenders do, and aren't necessarily looking for three years of perfect balance sheets.

In order to communicate emergency and other urgent messages to residents and community members within Pasadena, the City has implemented an emergency notification system.
The Pasadena Local Emergency Alert System, or PLEAS, uses both text and voice messages to keep residents and community members in Pasadena informed in case of emergencies that affect areas in which they live or work. With this information, residents and businesses can make arrangements to help ensure the safety of family members, employees, pets, and property in the event of fires, floods, earthquakes, or other types of disasters.
In the event of an emergency, residents and community members will receive a message with the latest information and safety instructions. PLEAS is programmed to know whether or not the message has been delivered to a person, recorded to voicemail, or was not delivered due to a telephone system error. The system will continue to attempt to deliver its message until the message is successfully delivered to a person, or until the message expires.
PLEAS helps you be a part of our community's safety by keeping you informed..
Things you can do to help:
All contact information registered with PLEAS is maintained in a secure manner and never sold or used except to provide emergency information or other urgent information you request.
Once you have registered with PLEAS, we also recommend you register with Los Angeles County's counterpart, Alert LA, by clicking here: http://alert.lacounty.gov. Pasadena residents and community members are encouraged to register with both systems because no technology is failure-proof.
Whether or not you receive a message from PLEAS, take any action you believe prudent to safeguard your life. While PLEAS is a great system, disasters and emergency are chaotic and unpredictable. So, you can't rely on any one system. Use a number of sources for emergency information, such as LA County's Alert LA and local television and radio, in addition to PLEAS. If you are directed to evacuate by emergency personnel, please follow their directions whether or not you've received a PLEAS notification.
PLEAS is intended only for the use of people who live, work or go to school within the City of Pasadena. People from other cities should contact their City and the county of Los Angeles.
How to answer a call from PLEAS:

This 40 foot, 1983 built Cape Dory Intrepid 40 is currently lying in Trinidad, West Indies.
"Mañana" is a Cape Dory Intrepid 40 center cockpit sloop that is a well-known and a highly respected offshore cruiser designed by Chuck Paine. She was custom built to very high standards by Intrepid Yachts, Inc. in Massachusetts for the original owners in 1983. This vessel was designed as a fast sailing, well-built yacht to provide maximum interior accommodations for her length. She was built as a long distance, live aboard cruiser and is equipped with many modern conveniences for easy sailing. She has had continual maintenance and upgrading by her current owners.
With a cut away forefoot keel, sloop rig, pedestal steering with auto pilot, and center cockpit she has proven to be a very comfortable and seaworthy vessel. The cockpit is large enough to seat six people comfortably. It offers high backs and seats long enough for a tall man to lie on and stretch out. It stays dry in heavy seas as it can be completed enclosed with side curtains for the dodger and Bimini.
The richly finished warm teak interior has 6 foot 4 inch head room throughout. The main salon is roomy with wide settees, large dining area, full sized forward facing navigation station, and sea-going galley. There is a walk thru to the aft cabin where the cushions are designed to use regular size bed sheets and can sleep a tall man with ease. There is an ample size forward V-berth and 2 heads with showers. She has a very practical comfortable interior arrangement.
This is an ocean going vessel that is ready to take you on your adventures and fulfill your dreams as she has ours. We recommend "Mañana" highly for the serious live aboard cruiser who wishes to find an exceptionally high quality yacht for a fair value.

MODESTO, Calif. (AP) — A 26-year-old Central California man facing trial for the November shooting deaths of a teenager and a young man has been found dead in his Stanislaus County Jail cell.
The Sheriff's Department says 26-year-old Ryan Neil Mazzariello was alone in the cell when he was found Thursday morning.
The Modesto Bee says there is no information on a possible cause of death.
Mazzariello was arrested at his Oakdale home after the Nov. 11 shooting deaths of 15-year-old Ruben Mora Jr. and 20-year-old Abel Calderon outside the Oakdale Market.
A motive hasn't been disclosed.
Mazzariello's car and a weapon were left at the crime scene.

We are our Stuff: Seeing from Above
In collaboration with Robert Prichard and working with a group of volunteers
and students from the community, Brewster utilizes donated and collected materials to create an installation that addresses the cyclical nature of energy and matter, from weather patterns to landfills to the "stuff"with which we fill our lives. In her dramatic, swirling installation, Brewster investigates the intellectual versus the phenomenological—information that emerges out of rational and organized thought as opposed to that gained through the senses and direct experience. She does this by including objects that represent the everyday and objects that signify the intellectual. However, objects take on multiple levels of meaning. For instance, the installation includes a large number of books, ranging from novels to encyclopedias. Books encompass both aspects of our minds, the gathering of knowledge and information as well as the metaphysical, the parts of us that are about dreams, aspirations, even the spiritual. Brewster sets all of these objects—clothing, books, tossed email correspondence—against a painted background that includes visually moving forms and floating clouds. Layering paint, papers, objects, and books, Brewster suggests the complex systems of the universe. Viewers stand in the midst of this microcosm contemplating their place in the world and the complexity of a life caught between mundane objects and the power and majesty of nature. Brewster sees her work as emerging out of the nineteenth-century American landscape tradition and the later Abstract Expressionist movement. She comments on this installation and the desire to link the microcosm with the macrocosm and derive meaning from our lives: "The screen [of our lives] becomes a mirror for all of this . . . the vastness and fluidity of consciousness . . . and the desire to create meaning from this storm."

Coming in 2013: There are so many new restaurants opening in 2013, we feel like kids in a candy shop -- or foodies in the Bay Area. Here are just a few to whet your appetite. Literally. Oakland's Uptown is already home to so many fantastic eateries. It's getting another one with Duende, a Spanish-Basque restaurant, bar, cafe and bodega from former Oliveto exec chef Paul Canales and restaurateur Rocco Somazzi. The restaurant won't officially open until the new year, but it's hosting a New Year's Eve fest to get the party started. Duende is a block from Flora and the Fox Theater at 468 19th St. Get details on the restaurant at http://duendeoakland.com; reserve a spot ($25) for the New Year's celebration at http://duendenye.eventbrite.com.
More to look forward to in 2013: Our old stomping grounds, the Tribune Tower -- as in Oakland Tribune -- soon will be home to the Tribune Tavern, one of Chop Bar co-owner Chris Pastena's new restaurant ventures, along with Lungomare, which will be opening in the old Miss Pearl's spot at Jack London Square.
Stylish chefs: Chefs in Playboy with their clothes ON? What is the world coming to?

Choir to perform its annual concert
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 2:22 p.m.
Carolina Concert Choir will present its annual Christmas concerts at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday in the neo-gothic splendor of St. James Episcopal Church in downtown Hendersonville.
The choir will sing Benjamin Britten's "A Ceremony of Carols" accompanied by harpist Judy Bailey.
The all-auditioned Carolina Concert Choir is in its 34th season of performances in Western North Carolina.
"We always look forward with great anticipation to the Christmas concerts," said Bradford Gee, artistic director and conductor. "St. James, with its natural reverberation, is a stunning room in which to sing. These concerts typically sell out, so we encourage our patrons to purchase tickets early."

Here's the scoop:
I have about 80-100 ISOs ripped from my retail DVDs sitting on my P4 3.0 Mhz. The ISOs are MOVIE only (ie. no menus, extras, etc.), however, they all have the subtitles (whenever available). Most ISOs have a DD 5.1 audio track, but a few also have a DTS 5.1/6.1 track.
I've been using PS3 Media Sever for a couple of weeks and find it awesome. However, I don't understand why it keeps transcoding the ISOs instead of just taking the MPEG2 file out of the ISO and streaming that to the PC. I want to stay away from transcoding files as much as possible due to the speed of my PC and the fact that it produces artifacts.
Is there a way to stream ISOs without transcoding either the video or audio?
Thanks for your help, Kage99.

Jim is a good opener but the vocals are really low in the mix and Fish and then Page are really loud. Good jam though. Foam is ok, but has a few rough spots in the middle before Page's solo. Sparkle is good. Trey sounds a little out of tune during a tight Reba. He seems to pull it together by the end. Maze is good again. A real stand out among the new material. ATR sounds a little off, especially Trey, since it's been a while for this one. A good ripping Chalkdust makes up for it nicely. Bouncing is good. Uncle Pen hangs in for a third show in a row. Which brings us to the first European Bowie including secret language signals. Almost sounds like there is an abandoned finger scrape signal in there. Bowie itself is good, not great.
Actual encores tonight with Fish being introduced as "The Master of the World" during IDK, complete with Trey on drums. GTBT is a nice wrap up song tonight.
Good set and good energy tonight with a few rough spots.

Multimedia consists of content with both video and audio information. While there has been no shortage of effort in analyzing the visual aspects of multimedia in all its forms, the question of what can be done with sound is beginning to gain momentum. Sensing, capture, and analysis of sound in its many forms are becoming important for a variety of applications.
Kodak is working on finding ways to take advantage of sound. If we capture sound at a quality on par with that of today's video-enabled digital cameras, many interesting and useful applications become possible. A capture device with appropriately arranged sensors (microphones) provides audio content that can be analyzed for speech-centric applications and audio classification. By analyzing the captured sound, we gain an understanding of the acoustic environment as well as information about sound sources in the environment, forming a basis from which semantic inferences can be made.
The work being done in this field should provide audio capture capabilities that will provide rich raw data. From this high-quality sound, advanced signal processing and statistical analysis techniques can be used to improve speech recognition, reduce noise, and automatically adjust sound or image capture parameters.
Through speech-to-text or natural language processing, semantic audio information can be captured to provide meaningful tags or captions of the associated image or video clip. Audio classification can also provide contextual information about the location or environment of the captured scene or event.

Many of my mp4 video files show up as type image/jpeg when I use the browser of the MediaHouse app on my Samsung Galaxy SII tablet. If I then try to play any of these movies, it fails, because it tries to open them as an image. On my HTC One X I use the app PlugPlayer. Although this app does not show explicitly the content type of a media file, it does not play exactly the videos that are incorrectly identified as images.
Some mp4 video files are identified correctly as video, and actually play perfectly on both renderer devices. Furthermore, if a first let the renderer get the info about the content type, and then put a misidentified file in the place of a correctly identified file, it plays perfectly fine, which suggests to me that the problem is indeed only in the initial identification of the content type.
I currently use
PMS 1.72.0, build d9fd0a44c
MacOs 10.6.8, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory
java version "1.6.0_33"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_33-b03-424-10M3720)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.8-b03-424, mixed mode)
I do not have this problem with PMS 1.5 in combination with exactly the same video files and renderer devices. All files are not transcoded, so that can not be the problem. I do not see any messages regarding the media type in the debug.log file, but will attach it anyway.
Anyone with an idea what has changed after PMS 1.5 that can cause this?


text:
As of r701, PMS supports a new command-line option, profiles. If supplied, PMS displays a file chooser at startup which can be used to select a profile file or directory to read from and/or write to (see here for the details).
This option makes it easy to run multiple different configurations of PMS simultaneously without fiddling with environment variables. A "PS3 Media Server (Select Profile)" shortcut, similar to Firefox's Profile Manager shortcut, has been added to the Start Menu in the Windows build, and Linux packagers might want to add something similar.

Suit pits Mardi Gras group against liquor seller
Published: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 11:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 11:50 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — A New Orleans Mardi Gras organization has filed suit against a California liquor distributor over alleged trademark infringement.
The Rex Organization, which stages one of the city's premier Mardi Gras parades, says businessman Sal Ortiz of Rex Spirits Inc. is unlawfully combining the Rex name with Mardi Gras images to market products under the name "King REX Spirits." The lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court claims the images violate trademarks of the Rex Organization.
It asks the court to block the manufacture, sale and advertising of the products and seeks an undetermined amount of monetary damages.
An email request for comment was left with the company Friday.
The Rex parade is a signature event on Mardi Gras, which this year is Feb. 12. The organization was founded in 1872.

Is Heidi Klum going to be the fourth judge on America's Got Talent? Sure seems like it.
In a photo from the set of Monday's New Orleans auditions obtained by TMZ, Klum's first name is on the judges' table, which also includes the names of Howie Mandel, Mel B. and Howard Stern.
Awards season: Which gown was best?
NBC has yet to confirm Klum's casting.
Last month, former Spice Girls singer Mel B. joined the NBC competition show, replacing Sharon Osbourne, who quit the show in September over the network's treatment of her son Jack.
Klum currently hosts Project Runway on Lifetime and Germany's Next Top Model.

- Jan 14:
- 49ers ready for road to Seattle, NFC Championship game
- Injured 49ers Carlos Rogers, Will Tukuafu hope to play Sunday
- Jim Harbaugh's wife Sarah tells husband to change his pants
- Superstitious Jim Harbaugh doesn't tweak 49ers' travel schedule
- Thompson: Kaepernick needs chip on shoulder
- 49ers' Fangio has all the right moves
SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers are about as healthy as can be hoped for as they prepare for the NFC Championship game despite three straight high-stakes games in which they expended untold emotion and energy.
On Tuesday, cornerback Carlos Rogers and fullback Will Tukuafu sounded optimistic about returning from recent injuries in time for Sunday's NFC title game against the Seattle Seahawks.
"I think I'm going (to play)," Rogers said during media access Tuesday. "It depends how practice goes and if there's no setbacks."
Rogers suffered a hamstring injury in the 49ers' regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals and missed the 49ers' first two playoff games.
The first hurdle for Rogers is showing that his hamstring has healed enough so that he can practice. His first shot comes Wednesday, when the 49ers go through their first full-blown practice.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said last week that Rogers needs to practice at some point during the run-up to a game if he's going to be cleared to play in that week's game.
Rogers has not practiced the past two weeks. However, he said that he is running more now than he did since his injury.
Tukuafu suffered a left knee injury early in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Tukuafu underwent an MRI on Monday, though the team has not revealed the results.
"I'm here walking around and getting ready for the game," Tukuafu said Tuesday. "It's day-to-day."
Tukuafu seemed to be moving without any lingering effects from the injury he suffered while being tackled after a short reception. He refused to confirm whether the injury is a medial collateral sprain, as reported.
Beyond that, the 49ers figure to be at or near full strength for the Seahawks game, with a berth in the Super Bowl at stake.
That qualifies as impressive, given the 49ers played three road games during a two-week span against the Cardinals, the Green Bay Packers and Panthers, and they weren't in position to rest anyone because of the must-win nature associated with those games.
Dawson is 6 for 6 on field-goal attempts so far in the playoffs and 38 of 42 overall this season, his first with the 49ers. Dawson, 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, is in his 15th NFL season.
Dawson credited, in part, playing offensive tackle in high school for his success as a kicker in college and the pros.
"Being severely outmanned physically, I had to learn attention to detail just to survive," Dawson said. "That discipline paid off because I now play a position that requires that same attribute."
In that game, Smith notched two of his 8½ sacks for the season and a season-high nine tackles.

Healing/Prayer for Uncle Who Has Cancer,
February 17, 2012
I am asking for prayer for my uncle, Roosevelt Sallis. He is battling cancer for a few months and is not expected to live past this month. I know that God is a healer and that he will heal my uncle's body and he will make a full recovery. I ask that you pray for my uncle's family for God to give them strength as they deal with the situation too. My uncle is in desperate need of prayers. Prayers from people who genuinely know how to pray. Thanks so much.

Monday, Dec. 19 • 7 p.m. CT
JQH Arena (11,000) • Springfield, Mo.
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
LIVE STATS: MissouriStateBears.com LIVE AUDIO: GoIslanders.com
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team continues the Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic on Monday night when it travels to Springfield, Mo., for a matchup with Missouri State. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. at JQH Arena between the Islanders and Bears. This will be the final on-campus game of the exempt tournament, with the final two games for A&M - Corpus Christi to be played in Las Vegas on Thursday and Friday.
The Islanders are coming off an 84-64 loss to West Virginia on Saturday afternoon. Chris Hawkins-Mast scored a career-best 22 points and Terence Jones added 20 in a losing effort. The Mountaineers used 24 second-half points in the paint to pull away in the 20-point victory.
Missouri State sits at 6-3 after knocking off Kennesaw State 78-55 on Saturday. Kyle Weems went for 22 points, eight boards, four assists and two blocks in the victory for the Bears, who shot nearly 60 percent from the field. The Bears are 3-1 at home, the only loss to Oklahoma State on Dec. 7.
• The Islanders are 0-1 against the Bears all-time, the only meeting in Springfield in 2005.
• This is the third game in five days for Texas A&M - Corpus Christi and the middle contest of five games in eight days.
• Chris Hawkins-Mast scored a career-high 22 points last game and went 8-for-10 from the free-throw line.
• Terence Jones has caught fire from the field over the last four games, shooting 60.9 percent from beyond the arc and averaging 18.8 points per game.
• Johnathan Jordan has rapidly climbed the rankings in the Southland in assists, as he leads the league with 4.3 per game.
Chris Hawkins-Mast had a career-high 22 points and Terence Jones added 20, but West Virginia's inside game lifted it to an 84-64 victory on Saturday at the WVU Coliseum. Kevin Jones scored 22 and Deniz Kilicli added 13 for the Mountaineers, who improved to 7-2 on the year.
Myron Dempsey added eight points and eight boards for the Islanders (1-7), while Johnathan Jordan matched his career-high with six assists in the contest. The Islanders shot 50 percent (7-of-14) from the outside in the game.
Missouri State sits at 6-3 on the season and is on a two-game winning streak. The Bears started 4-0 and then suffered three straight losses before the current string. MSU plays West Virginia and Saint Mary's in Las Vegas.
Kyle Weems leads the Bears with 15.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game on the year. Michael Bizoukas has been the primary distributor for the team with his 58 assists over nine games. Paul Lusk is in his first season as the head coach of Missouri State.
This will be the second time that the Islanders have taken on the Bears in Springfield. The last trip was when Texas A&M - Corpus Christi headed to the Missouri State Price Cutter Classic in 2005. At the event, the Islanders went 1-1, defeating USF 59-47, but falling to the host Bears, 95-75. This will be the first time the team has played in JQH Arena, as the facility opened in 2008.
Against the Missouri Valley Conference, the Islanders are 1-2, with the aforementioned game against the Bears and a 1-1 record against Drake. A&M - Corpus Christi defeated Drake at the Islanders Classic in 2003, but lost the return trip to Des Moines in 2005.
This will be the second straight season that the Islanders take part in a Las Vegas-based exempt tournament, as they took part in the Las Vegas Invitational last season. A year ago, the Islanders fell at Ohio and Kansas before splitting affairs in Vegas with Bethune-Cookman and Valparaiso.
This year, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi takes part in the Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic, which sees them travel to West Virginia, Missouri State and play two games in the City of Lights.
Over the upcoming trip, the Islanders will log over 5,000 air miles. Including Thursday's game against USA, the Islanders will play five games in a span of eight days.
Junior Terence Jones is the team's leading returning scorer from last season, but had struggled to heat up in the offensive end over the first four games of the season. That all changed on Dec. 1 against Texas Tech, as the Baltimore native went off for a career-high 26 points on 9-of-19 shooting.
It was the most points for an Islanders player since Justin Reynolds scored 26 against UT-Arlington on March 2, 2011, and it started the junior on a hot streak.
Jones followed up the Tech game with another solid effort, going 5-for-9 from the field and hitting both treys he shot for 12 points at Houston. In the South Alabama affair, Jones upped the ante from the outside, burying his first four threes en route to 17 more points. At West Virginia, he went 4-for-5 from beyond the arc and tallied his second 20-point game of the season.
Over the last four contests, the Baltimore native has averaged 18.3 points and shot 60.9 percent from beyond the arc. He has gone 25-for-48 from the field overall. He is only three triples away from 100 in his career.
After being a role player in his first season for the Islanders, senior Chris Hawkins-Mast has emerged as one of the team's go-to guys on the offensive end. Hawkins-Mast is second on the team with his 11.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per contest.
After strong performances in the exhibition and first game of the year, he had gone cold for a couple games before re-emerging with 16 points and nine boards against Texas Tech. Then on Saturday against WVU, he delivered a career-best 22 points on 6-of-12 shooting and an 8-of-10 performance at the line.
The native of Washington, D.C., attended a pair of junior colleges before landing at the Island University prior to the 2010-11 season. He went by the name "Chris Mast" a year ago, but chose to use his full legal name to honor his mother, whose maiden name is Hawkins.
The Islanders point guard may be one of the smallest players in the Southland Conference, but what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in athletic ability. Houston native Johnathan Jordan stands just 5-foot-10, but his extreme athleticism and basketball IQ are the aspects of his makeup that are far more important to the Islanders.
He has been impressive leading the Islanders offense with his 34 assists and leads the conference with 4.3 per game. His 1.6 assist-to-turnover ratio is currently sixth in the league.
In the Houston game, he filled the stat sheet, scoring eight points and leading the team with seven rebounds, five assists and three steals. He also had a career-best six dimes against Texas Tech.
Over the last six games, Jordan has had at least four assists in every contest. He is averaging 4.8 assists per contest over that span and has committed an average of just 2.8 turnovers.

Congress Returns
Congress returned from a six-week recess on September 14, but the legislative calendar remains somewhat murky, particularly in the Senate. With crucial midterm elections looming, and many successful challenges to incumbents already in the record books, it is uncertain how long the House and Senate will stay in Washington, DC. They are currently scheduled to work until October 8, but rumors abound that timeline will be shortened as the days tick away.

House and Senate Support More Money for DOD Buffer Program
Legislation seeking an increase in the amount of money proposed by the Obama Administration for the Department of Defense Readiness and Environment Protection Initiative (REPI) has passed the House and has been approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee. The House version of the Defense Authorization for FY 2011, passed by the House on May 28, includes a $10 million increase over the spending level included in the President's budget, while the Senate-committee-approved version includes an increase of $25 million.

AGO Listening Sessions Have Come to An End
The Administration's America's Great Outdoors (AGO) initiative to develop a conservation agenda for the 21st century has wrapped up its summer season of listening sessions across the country. The Obama Administration hosted nearly two dozen events nationwide to gather ideas on how to preserve the outdoors and get more Americans outside.

NOAA's CELCP Program Posts FY2011 Priority List
The Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CELCP) provides state and local governments with matching grant funds to purchase conservation easements and fee acquisitions of important coastal and estuarine lands. Each year, coastal conservation projects applying for grant funding through CELCP are evaluated and ranked by an independent, competitive, merit-based panel. A priority list generated by the panel serves as a guide in selecting projects for funding once Congress completes its annual appropriations process.

FLTFA Extension Update
Just before Congress left Washington for its annual August Recess, it passed legislation that included a one-year extension of the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act. The Act expired on July 25 and the one-year extension went into effect when the law was signed on July 29. This gap of only a few days had an unfortunate consequence. While it was good news that FLTFA received a one-year extension, the funding that had been in the program's accounts reverted to the Treasury under the terms of the original legislation.

Public Lands Bills of Interest
The 111th Congress has worked on dozens of public lands bills that still await further action before becoming enacted into law. These various bills may be addressed in an omnibus lands package, but given the complexities of the congressional calendar, it is uncertain when further action will be taken.

New Baucus Tax Legislation Includes Conservation Tax Incentive
On September 16, Senator Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, introduced the "Job Creation and Tax Cut Act of 2010." This bill extends a variety of tax provisions that would otherwise expire. Among these is the conservation tax incentive, which encourages the donation of conservation easements. The Baucus bill would extend the provision through 2010.

Baby Liam Burke is just learning to crawl. But he was conceived when Bill Clinton was president, the World Trade Center stood tall and home computers had the newfound ability to dial into something called the World Wide Web.
Suspended 19 years in deep freeze, Liam is the beloved new son of Kelly Burke -- and one of the oldest embryos ever thawed and restored to life.
"He is the most awesome baby there is," said Burke, 45. "He is a happy, healthy baby, a little bundle of joy, smart and interactive."
What's more intriguing, Liam is adopted. An Oregon couple who had twins two decades ago through San Ramon's Reproductive Science Center kept his embryo frozen for years, keeping open the option of expanding their own family. Ultimately, they decided to donate the embryo to Burke for her own pregnancy -- a profound example of technology's extension of life.
Like Liam, about 10,000 embryos a year are thawed and join families, thanks to advances in the field of cryopreservation. Others linger, sometimes for a decade or more, raising medical and ethical dilemmas never imaginable a generation ago.
Infertile couples create embryos using in vitro fertilization, which joins eggs and sperm in a Petri dish. They typically create as many as possible to maximize their chances for parenting -- but if the first attempt results in a baby, other embryos are left over.
In 1985, there were 285 frozen embryos in the entire nation. Now an estimated 400,000 to 600,000 human embryos live as souls on ice, carefully held in liquid nitrogen tanks.
Of these, about half will eventually be implanted into their mothers, according to ReproTech, a company that specializes in long-term storage of embryos for $400 a year in its facilities in Nevada, Minnesota, Texas and Florida.
Most of the rest are discarded or donated to research.
A lucky few -- 1.5 percent -- are, like Liam, gifted to women like Burke.
The research scientist at NASA in Hampton, Va., has five university degrees -- two bachelors, two masters and a doctorate. Education deferred her dream of motherhood, then her own attempts at in vitro fertilization ended in two heartbreaking miscarriages.
But she's a big believer in the power of science to solve problems, and she held out hope.
"Technology is my world," she said.
Locating Liam proved much harder. For emotional reasons, doctors say, few couples are willing to surrender their embryos.
Burke was pursuing adoption when her attorney discovered the Oregon couple -- with college-age twins -- finally had decided not to use their saved embryos. The couple are not named to protect their confidentiality.
"They decided they wanted to give those embryos a chance at life," Burke said.
She began an application process, assembling a portfolio -- describing herself and her struggle to create a family -- that she hoped would make her stand out among the many applicants. Then, over the next four months, by email and phone, she answered tough questions about politics, spirituality and her views on education. They agreed to an open adoption, which means Liam will get to know the couple who gave him life and his siblings.
Last year, Burke flew from Virginia to San Ramon for the procedure.
It ended in joy: Liam, born last November in a natural birth, weighed a robust 8 pounds, 5 ounces.
"I was so grateful," she said. "One of the reasons I've gone public is to give people hope. I hope to help people consider the option of donation."
Freezing embryos has gained popularity because of its many advantages, said Seattle Reproductive Medicine lab director David Ball, a spokesman for the American Society of Reproductive Medicine.
Rather than subjecting women to surgery each time they need to get an egg, doctors now retrieve a dozen or more eggs at once. They can be implanted in the womb one or two at a time -- or saved indefinitely. The San Ramon center has one embryo it estimates is 27 years old.
What transformed the practice is a flash-freezing innovation called vitrification, which cools the embryos so quickly that their water molecules don't have time to form ice crystals, which could slice delicate cells like a knife, said Burke's physician, Dr. Deborah Wachs, a reproductive endocrinologist.
Scientists also have discovered the optimal age for freezing: five days after fertilization, when the embryo has grown to 150 to 200 cells.
The embryos are transferred into thin straws that are suspended in liquid nitrogen freezers and preserved at minus 196 degrees Fahrenheit, Wachs said. At this temperature, growth literally freezes to a halt.
"It's not generating, it's not degrading, it is suspended in time," Wachs said. When thawed, "it becomes big and plump."
Scientists can also cull the weak from the strong, selecting those embryos whose cells are most tightly packed -- boosting the odds that it will survive the long nine months to birth.
Extensive paperwork is completed before the fertilization, to answer tough questions: If a couple divorces, should the embryos be divided up, like silverware? What if a couple die, move away or declare bankruptcy?
Embryo abandonment is a problem every clinic faces. As long as the freezer bill is paid, the embryo is safe -- for years, decades, maybe generations.
That growing longevity on ice raises an ethical issue. "Imagine in a thousand years someone doing IVF with a long-frozen embryo just to see what a 21st century -- or, in this case, 20th century -- human being was like," said Hank Greely, director of Stanford University's Center for Law and the Biosciences. "Just keeping them frozen -- kicking the can down the road a little farther -- seems wrong to me. Use them, destroy them, donate them for research, or donate them for adoption. But make a decision. If you keep putting it off by keeping the embryos in liquid nitrogen limbo, who knows how they may eventually be used?"
Someday, Liam will be told about his fortunate journey, "when he's old enough to understand," Burke said.
He'll meet his siblings, 19 years his senior. And perhaps one day he'll meet a younger sibling or two. Two of the couple's leftover embryos remain frozen in San Ramon, preserved for an unknown future.

You've probably seen ads and articles that suggest you can fly privately for prices that rival first-class airline fares and even coach prices. Last year, for example, Forbes headlined a story "How to Fly Private Jets at Airline Prices," while The New York Times ran "Try a Private Jet, at Public Prices."

Thinking about taking a cruise? Choosing the right line can be a dizzying task. There are at least 26 major cruise lines plying the seas and a staggering 7,500 itineraries to consider, from Dublin to Dubai. Each line has its own signature offerings, but options differ dramatically–even within the same fleet. Cruise ships, like people, have distinct personalities and no two are alike.

In the late 1960s–long before speedsters such as the Hawker Beechcraft Premier I, SyberJet SJ30 and Cessna Citation X were a glimmer in some engineer's eye–Dassault gave the world a flying bullet: the Falcon 10.

The HondaJet grew out of a research project that began in 1986. The all-composite MH02 featured an above-wing engine mount and a forward-swept wing. It first flew in 1993. With that research in hand, Honda went back to the drawing board and 10 years later the first HondaJet prototype took to the skies.

The used jet market has had to contend with more than its fair share of obstacles over the past few years and 2012 didn't offer any relief. They say that when the stock market moves up it climbs a wall of worry and that's probably not much different from how jet buyers view the aircraft market. That said, there may be a bit less to worry about than there was last year at this time.

I am so relieved that the U.S. presidential election is finally over. The past year–and especially recent months–have been marked by an undercurrent of anxiety, with otherwise-loving families having cocktail-soaked dinner wars and old friends severing Facebook ties over national policy issues. Perhaps now we can all stop bickering and get down to business.

It's not every day you get to share sushi and spring rolls with one of the world's most iconic actors, and I have dined out on the story ever since. Though John Travolta and I were hunched over a low table and the wasabi dip was making my eyes stream, I felt entirely at ease thanks to his friendly, down-to-earth manner–which perhaps explains some of his phenomenal success.
"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem. "

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|Irving's case on damages >
Relevant considerations
3.1Where the publication of defamatory words is proved and no substantive defence has been established, English law presumes that damage will have been done to the reputation of the person defamed. The amount of the damages recoverable by a particular claimant, if successful on liability, will depend on a variety of factors including the nature and gravity of the libel; the extent of its dissemination; the standing of the claimant; the injury to his or her feelings; the extent of any additional injury inflicted by the conduct of the defendants; and so on. It is possible to claim pecuniary loss but no such claim arises here. Damages maybe reduced, perhaps even to vanishing point, to the extent that the defendants succeed in partially justifying the defamatory imputations complained of.25
