Mysterious cameras that popped up around Palo Alto over the weekend are not part of a nefarious plan to spy on residents, but intended to measure bicycle and pedestrian volume on certain streets, a city official said Tuesday.
That explanation, however, came a little too late for one resident, who returned home from a five-day trip Saturday to find a camera affixed to a telephone pole in front of his Stanford Avenue home.
"I guess the thing that bothers me is that they're always talking about transparency and reaching out to the community," Paul Machado told The Daily News.
"They put a surveillance camera at the base of your driveway and it doesn't even enter their head that they should knock on your door and tell you. To me, that's the crux of the problem."
The cameras are being used together with traditional roadway tube counters to establish baseline bicycle, pedestrian and vehicle volumes on "bicycle boulevard program" streets, said Jaime Rodriguez, the city's chief transportation official. The city is in the midst of rolling out a $25 million bicycle and pedestrian plan that calls for improvements to such streets.
Tube counters aren't sensitive enough to capture bicycle and pedestrian activity, he added.
Rodriguez said the city traditionally hasn't publicized similar data collection efforts, but noted that cameras haven't been widely used before. The first time was last fall for the Matadero Avenue-Margarita Avenue project.
"The use of video-based counters is a new technology for Palo Alto and so we are taking the lessons learned to make residents more aware of future projects," he said, referring to an email Machado sent to the City Council.
However, traffic consultants hired by the city are overseeing the location and installation of the cameras, Rodriguez said. As a result, the city doesn't know where they are until they've been installed.
The data collection effort kicked off the last week of April and will continue through the end of next week, Rodriguez said. At any given time, 25 cameras will be posted around town.
Machado said he couldn't help but be troubled by the camera in front of his home. It appears to point at the entrance to his driveway. He also doubted whether it was catching activity on the sidewalk directly in front of his home.
"It doesn't make any sense to me," Machado said as bicyclist after bicyclist whizzed by his home.
In his email to the council, Machado said he was uneasy with the "Palo Alto Klandestine Gathering Bureaucrats, aka KGB, making a pictorial record of all my comings and goings."
"I request you remove this camera immediately and not wait until the end of the week," he wrote.
Rodriguez said the cameras are positioned to record bicycle and pedestrian activity from sidewalk to sidewalk and do not peer into any homes. None of the raw video will be turned over to the city; it will be discarded once the traffic consultants have measured the volume, he said.
City Manager James Keene also weighed in on the controversy at Monday's council meeting.
"I do think it's unfortunate that we did not get this news out in advance and I think we had a few surprising situations with folks -- sort of surprised by these cameras being put up," Keene told the council. "We'll probably be doing some more extensive outreach on that."

Privacy Concerns Nix Sale of Online Dating Site
A Canadian online dating site has pulled the plug on its offer to buy a bankrupt American rival after Texas's attorney general warned that the sale would expose millions of singles to privacy risks.
A Canadian-owned dating site called PlentyOfFish on Wednesday withdrew its $700,000 offer for True.com, a Plano-based dating site that still possesses a database of tens of millions of customers.
The decision came days after Attorney General Greg Abbott's office filed a petition to block True.com from selling its assets, which included its membership database and all information provided by True.com's customers.
The attorney general said True.com was violating its privacy policy by agreeing to transfer all the personal data — including criminal and divorce histories — without getting permission from its customers. Customers can still opt out, but they would have to make that request on their own.*
"At a time when privacy is an issue of grave concern to so many, we are taking legal action to prevent an online dating service from selling more than 2 million Texans' personal information without their consent," Mr. Abbott said in a statement last week.
Lawyers for True.com and PlentyOfFish didn't respond to requests for comment.
A spokesman for the attorney general told Law Blog that the handling of the data would have also violated "deceptive trade practices law in Texas."
A decade ago, True was a big player in the online dating world, known for conducting more expensive background checks of its users. But True Beginnings LLC, which owns True, sank into financial trouble and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year.
*Full disclosure: Law Blog has never tried Internet dating in pursuit of Mrs. Law Blog. Law Blog enjoys many hobbies, including law blogging.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The season's mountain biking is still in full swing with the Aspen trees changing color and the recent rains keeping the trail dust at bay.
On Sunday, Oct. 16, Incline Village resident Hans Keller tested a newly installed drive train from the Village Ski Loft by enjoying the Tahoe Rim Trail. This ride starts where the TRT crosses Highway 267 on the Tahoe side of Brockway summit in Kings Beach.
Follow the Tahoe Rim Trail signs east on the single-track trail about seven miles to the summit of Mt. Baldy. On the way up (and especially down) keep your eyes on the rocky trail even though it is hard not to get distracted by the beautiful autumn colors and crisp air reminding us that Mother Nature is sending us the snow soon.
I thought I'd share this picture with my Tahoe neighbors I took at Mt. Baldy's 9,271-foot summit. Even though our recent mild temperate days near the lake keep us wearing shorts, I'd like to remind fellow mountain bikers and Tahoe trail enthusiasts that the climate dramatically changes at about the 7,500 foot elevation in the mountains. So bring your Camelbak hydration pack filled with water, snacks, riding gloves, extra fleece pants and long-sleeve fleece shirts.
It felt like a walk-in freezer when I was on top of Mt. Baldy while capturing the picture of the clouds hovering over our gorgeous lake.
Unlike the section of the rim trail from the Tahoe Meadows at the top of Highway 431 to the top of the Tunnel Creek trail intersection where mountain bikers are only allowed on the trail on even days, the section of trail to Mt. Baldy is open every day for bikes.
Just remember that shortly past the Mt. Baldy summit heading east, mountain bikers are not allowed on the trail because the rim trail crosses through the Mt. Rose Wilderness area in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Enjoy the trails and please continue to be courteous to all the people sharing the trials, too.

Study: Early Equipment Retirements Not Needed to Avoid Severe Climate Change
If the world agrees to take action to avoid severe climate change, does that mean that you'll have to scrap your car or that your utility will need to shut down its new power plant? Not necessarily, according to a new study from the Carnegie Institution. The study examined the current sources of greenhouses gases throughout the world, and based on their expected lifetimes, calculated the total emissions expected from all the existing power plants, vehicles, buildings, industries, and other sources. That works out to about 500 billion tons of carbon dioxide.
Climate models predict such emission levels would result in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide stabilizing at less than 430 parts per million, resulting in a global temperature increase of 1.3°C (2.3°F) above pre-industrial levels. That's below the targets of 450 parts per million and 2°C that many consider the upper limit to avoid severe climate change impacts.
The authors note, however, that the world will soon need to shift to low-carbon energy sources to avoid future emissions. They also note that their study does not account for the impact of today's infrastructure on tomorrow's energy choices. For instance, the ready availability of gasoline fueling stations and the current lack of electric-vehicle recharging stations may make it more likely for future consumers to buy gasoline-fueled vehicles. The study also assumes that existing infrastructure will be retired at the end of its expected useful life, although many of today's coal-fired power plants have been kept running far past their original retirement dates. See the Carnegie Institution press release.

Today in History: February 29
Attack on Deerfield
Old Fray [sic] House, Deerfield, Mass., built in 1698, copyright 1904.
Touring Turn-of-the-Century America: Photographs from the Detroit Publishing Company, 1880-1920
On February 29, 1704, between 200 and 300 French soldiers and their Native American allies raided the tiny frontier settlement of Deerfield, Massachusetts. The assault was a tiny skirmish in Queen Anne's War—a broader conflict between France and England. As a precaution, the townsfolk had sheltered in the town's palisade but they were surprised by the mid-winter attack and Deerfield quickly fell to the invaders. Some fifty English men, women, and children were killed and over 100 residents began a forced march through heavy snows to Canada (New France).
Deerfield's minister, Reverend John Williams, his wife, and five children, were among the captives. Although approximately twenty prisoners died along the way, including Mrs. Williams, the minister survived the trip. Held for more than two years in captivity—first by the Abenaki Indians, next in French Catholic communities near Montreal, he and nearly sixty other colonists were ransomed by Massachusetts Governor Joseph Dudley, arriving by boat in Boston in November 1706. Williams memorialized his Canadian experience in The Redeemed Captive Returning to Zion. First printed in 1707, the book was reprinted again and again.
Several young Deerfield captives never returned to their families. Instead, they joined either Native American or French society. Four Williams children were released; one child, Eunice Williams, remained in Canada. Eunice took the Mohawk name A'ongote, which means "She (was) taken and placed (as a member of their tribe)." Eunice married a Mohawk man when she was sixteen; they had three children.
Captivity Narratives
The Captivity of Mrs. Rowlandson, Wood engraving [detail],
Illustration, Harper's Weekly, 1857.
Prints & Photographs Online Catalog
Reverend Williams' testimonial was neither the first nor the last popular account of a captivity experience. Captivity narratives were frequently bestsellers and were among the first American books published; the genre profoundly influenced the nation's literary imagination.
Mary White Rowlandson's widely read treatise The Soveraignty and Goodness of God, Together with the Faithfulness of His Promises Displayed: Being a Narrative of the Captivity and Restauration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson was published in Massachusetts and London in 1682. Held hostage by Native Americans for eleven weeks, she was ransomed for £20. Rowlandson's effort was followed by similar works depicting women as hapless victims of mysterious savages.
In 1823, James E. Seaver's A Narrative of the Life of Mrs. Mary Jemison challenged the traditional narrative. Seaver related the true story of Mary Jemison who, in 1758, was carried off by the raiding party of French soldiers and Shawnee who killed her parents. Adopted by a Seneca family, she refused to return to "civilization." Eventually, Jemison married a Seneca warrior and became one of the largest tribal landowners.
In 1713, Queen Anne's War ended when Great Britain, France, and Spain settled the War of the Spanish. England gained North American assets including Newfoundland and French Acadia (renamed Nova Scotia). France and England did not do battle in America again until the 1754 French and Indian War. All of these wars were colonial counterparts of widespread European conflicts.
Use American Memory to learn more about these topics:
- Read Captured by the Indians: Reminiscences of Pioneer Life in Minnesota by Minnie Buce Carrigan. On August 18, 1862, when Carrigan was only seven years old, her parents and two of her siblings were killed during a Sioux uprising. She was taken captive with a brother and sister and spent ten weeks among the Sioux before the U.S. army compelled the return of all captives. Several other survivors relate their experiences in a final section of the book. Carrigan's story is one of many first-person accounts of frontier life contained in Pioneering the Upper Midwest: Books from Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, ca. 1820-1910.
- Explore stories of captivity contained American Life Histories: Manuscripts from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1940. "The Navajos" mentions the kidnapping of a small Navajo girl by Americans in New Mexico. In "Harry Buffington Cody," Cody relates the story of his childhood adoption by Chief Red Cloud, his life as a roving cowboy, and his subsequent show business career with his famous cousin Buffalo Bill.
- Listen to two very different songs focusing on captivity. "The Fair Captive", a romantic Anglo-American ballad from California Gold: Northern California Folk Music from the Thirties, tells of a captive so assimilated to her tribe that returning to her birth family breaks her heart. "Na'gthewaan Song," a captive song from the collection Omaha Indian Music, expresses an Omaha warrior's feelings about war and death. In the Omaha traditional, captive songs, also referred to as death songs, were composed and sung by warriors about to face death as captives of their enemies. To hear both of these songs click below, or search the collections on captivity.

WATERLINE REMIX CONTEST (winners announced on pg 4)
Calling all producers, a "WATERLINE" REMIX CONTEST is happening right now. FULL DETAILS ARE AT
to download stems for the new remix contest of the Mark Isham & Sage Francis collaboration track "Waterline", featured in the film "Pride & Glory" and on Sage Francis' album "Human the Death Dance." We took the time to make many stems for the remix, including a hybrid of the album track, and the orchestral version included in the film! The contest ends July 23rd, so get to work! There's some great gnarly (and potentially an official release) for the winners and runners up. Mark and Sage will choose the winners, and a "Fan's Choice" will be chosen via poll after the contest ends. We can't wait to hear what you come up with! Oh, also, it is 90BPM.
For those entering the contest, HERE IS SOME ADVICE: Make sure you place my vocals on beat. The place where my words land within the rhythm actually matters. A lot of contestants have submitted remixes with the vocals placed improperly within beat. If you think this may be you, then please reference the original song and see where the rhymes land within the bar structure. Good luck to everyone involved. We already have over 300 people working on a remix! I'm really looking forward to hearing what you've done with our track.

I have been struggling with audio out of sync problems for some time now. I think the problem is the same for all formats.
I was just about to give up on PS3 media server, but decided to try a few old versions.
Everything is working fine for me until version 1.60. From that moment on audio is clearly out of sync for al formats.
Am I the only one experiencing these problems?
I am happy to be able to keep on using PMS( version 1.54), but in my case its clearly version 1.60 and newer that is not working for me. Any ideas anyone?

Local officials react to Mingo sheriff's fatal shooting
April 4, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Law enforcement officials in the Mid-Ohio Valley reacted to the news of the killing Wednesday of Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum....
I hate it when a law enforcement officer gets killed. I am scared for our own officers. I know some of them, and I would hate it if any of them were injured in any way.
We all need to be aware of our surroundings at all times. It worries me to see our officers sitting in their cars working on a report, their attention diverted. I thought it was a stupid idea when it first came about, and I still think it is a stupid idea. Anything that takes your attention away from your surroundings can turn out bad.

My view of police officers have changed alot because of what happen to Dorner here in CA
He is getting very popular each day because of what these public servants do to these citizens
Some bad cops make a lot of good ones look bad But I do not trust none of them

Very good Remington. When questioned by police, you first reaction should be, sorry, I want my lawyer and if they want to search your things you should always say, sure, once you get a warrant.
5 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Thanks for the tip Judge. We started to write down badge numbers as well as car numbers to report these public servants for breaking crimes, like speeding, talking on the phone while driving and yelling at people
Here in Irvine, they will get fired

Did to dorner? The guy killed 3 peoria with no affiliation to the LAPD. He was a murderer and should have died a much slower death. Secondly it's pretty disrespectful to talk about not liking cops on a story about a good sheriff getting murdered.

The lot scene was really laid back(especially compared to Omaha the following year.) I met Amy walking around checking for copyright infringement issues. We parked on the top floor of an adjacent parking garage. It was a self contained ho-down in itself. Lots of energy in the air as it was Saturday and The Cornhuskers were playing nearby as well. The scene hadn't quite blown up yet and this show had a real casual/comfortable feel to it.
Complete opposite of 11/16/96... Wow! Bad vibes! Bad juju! Great show! Weird how that worked out.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � A group is launching an effort to save a downtown Portland plaza and almost three dozen other city spaces from being sold and developed.
The Portland Press Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1aU0DCs ) that the Friends of Congress Square Park filed an affidavit for a citizen's initiative on Friday. It would add Congress Square Plaza and several other city properties to the Portland's land bank.
The group is trying to change the city's land bank ordinance to require eight City Council votes or six votes and a citywide referendum to sell a property in the city's land bank.
The council is scheduled to vote on Monday on whether to sell two-thirds of the plaza to Rockbridge Capital for $524,000.
The group must collect 1,500 signatures for a referendum.

Fiber Profile:
It's a camel! It's an ostrich! What is that odd-looking animal, anyway?
It's an Alpaca!
When they first started appearing in the U.S. 20 years ago, alpacas were often used as "novelty" animals in petting zoos. If they were poked, pinched, or prodded one too many times, the animals resorted to a defense mechanism they are now known for: spitting.
Don't be mislead, however. If left to their own devices, alpacas are mellow, gentle animals that spend their days grazing and taking in the fresh air. Spend the afternoon watching these animals and you'll be convinced -- as am I -- that they're truly remarkable creatures, deserving all of the attention they're getting.
South American Beginnings
While Merino sheep and angora goats have their roots in the Middle East and Europe, the alpaca is distinctively South American. The Incas prized alpaca fiber, used it for clothing, and included the animal in many of their religious ceremonies.
When the Spanish conquistadors arrived, they were too enamored with Merino to see any value in alpacas, so they remained undiscovered by Europeans for many more years.
Europeans Catch On
In the mid-1880s, Sir Titus Salt of Yorkshire, England, began exploring the properties of alpaca fleece. He produced textiles from alpaca fiber and introduced them across Europe.
Despite Salt's efforts, however, the alpaca textile industry never left South America because of strict animal exportation regulations imposed by various South American governments.
Today, the alpaca industry is centered in Arequipa, Peru. Almost 99% of the world's alpaca population (some three million animals) is still found in Peru, Chile, and Bolivia.
Why Alpaca?
Alpacas make great economical and environmental sense. While wool continues to decline in value, alpaca earns a high premium. The animals need very little land on which to graze; they're generally healthy and trouble-free; they have pleasant temperaments; and they produce a fiber that's softer than cashmere.
When we first published this article, there was no commercial spinnery in the United States equipped to process alpaca for large-scale commercial yarn companies, so many breeders pooled their fleeces into collective orders and sent them to South America to be processed. Fortunately, this has changed in recent days. Still, in the case of larger manufacturers, almost all of them get their fiber straight from South America.
As the number of animals and commercial alpaca spinneries in the United States increase, the price of alpaca fiber is sure to drop. For now, it remains at a premium.

"I would like add an alpaca comment. There is a mill in the US that handles large quantities of alpaca. The New England Fiber Pool has fiber spun and products made each year in the USA. See their website. I love reading the Review each week especially the poll. I love my alpaca and thanks for the link at the end of the article!" Nancy, NEWAIM Farm, 9/5/03
"I wasn't familiar with alpaca until I attended the Wool Market in Estes Park. I'm hooked. It's a beautiful, rich fiber. So soft. And the animals are wonderful. I'm not able to wear wool. It just bothers me. I purchased some alpaca at the show from the Alpaca Fiber Cooperative of N. America. I've been knitting with it and the finished product is great. VERY warm. No one in my area (Missouri) knows about alpaca, so now everyone wants me to knit them alpaca sweaters. It's my fiber of choice for winter items. It makes me want to start spinning, since there are not too many places to buy the yarn from." wjmlh, 9/10/2001
"Thanks for re-running your article on Alpaca. I live near several Alpaca farms in Colorado. My favorite is Serendipity Fiber Arts center; their web site is www.fiberartscenter.com, I believe. The farm is owned by Ron and Marie Hinds, and they offer alpaca yarn at VERY good prices, as well as fiber for handspinners. There are also some other alpaca breeder's associations they can inform you of. I know the acronym for one is ARBA, but I don't know what that stands for exactly." Joy, 9/7/2001
"I work at Ohio Valley Natural Fibers. I process tons of Alpaca. We do spin Alpaca/wool yarn. The Alpaca fiber itself is to long to make a 100% yarn. I think it would be to hot by itself. We process most Alpaca into rovings for Handspinners, also felting batts. I myself am a handspinner and I have spun some 100% Alpaca. Alpaca is a beautiful fiber, so many gorgeous colors. Such cute animals!"

GNOME Control Center 3.22 to Update the Keyboard Settings, Improve Networking
The upcoming GNOME 3.22 desktop environment is still in the works, and a first Beta build was seeded to public beta testers last week, bringing multiple enhancements and new features to most of its core components and apps. While GNOME 3.22 Beta was announced on August 22, it appears that the maintainers of certain core packages needed a little more time to work on various improvements and polish their applications before they were suitable for public testing. And this is the case of GNOME Control Center, which was recently updated to version 3.21.90, which means 3.22 Beta.

News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Classes aren't the only new thing for students in Richmond and Columbia counties.
This school year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is requiring schools to revamp their lunch menus. The new menus are a part of the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010.
Haylee Seigler is getting her first taste of the fourth grade at Garrett Elementary, and along with new classes and teachers, she is also getting a taste of Richmond County's new lunch menu.
Good thing she's not a very picky eater.
When asked about what she would eat, she said, "Almost anything good over there."
In line with new USDA guidelines, you'll see more words like kiwi, chilled apples and fresh fruit on the school lunch menus this school year.
"We have always been nutritious," said Josephine Mack, the nutrition director with the Richmond County School Board.
She says they'll have bigger portions of healthier items.
"Cookies will be going away, the dessert items will be going away," Mack said.
It's a welcomed change for parents as our region tries to battle a growing obesity problem.
"I'm really concerned because I have become overweight. I don't want my children to become overweight, too. It's really hard to get the weight off once it's on," said Crystal Seigler, Haylee's mother.
Haylee doesn't think she'll have a hard time adjusting her taste buds.
"The fruits I like are apples, oranges, and tangerines," she said. "Almost about any fruit I can name."
Her list of favorite vegetables is a little harder to come up with.
"Then vegetables, I like carrots, broccoli ..." she said.
"We'll do taste testing and talking and educating getting them to try more vegetables," Mack added.
Not every food item kids go crazy for will disappear.
"Like the pizzas and stuff like that, yeah, that's high in calories," said Haylee's mother.
With a few adjustments, Mack said, "Pizza is good because you have the whole grain crust and you have low-fat cheese."
It's still a favorite food Haylee will enjoy at lunchtime.
"'Cause they are healthy for you and they are delicious," she said.
Students will have to pick three of five components. The components include the main entree, milk, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. One of those components will have to be a fruit or vegetable.
More fruits and vegetables on the lunch money are also resulting in slightly higher lunch prices. This is the first time in 30 years the USDA has made significant changes to the school lunch program.

hi there,
I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 12 LTS on my machine that previously was running 10.04 LTS. I am using GNOME classic and previously running PMS.sh would open up the GUI for the app and show it in the panel at the top of the screen. Now when I run it, it loads the PMS application but the GUI doesn't display and neither does the icon in the panel.
Does anyone else has this issue in 12 LTS or know how I could rectify it? PMS is running and I am able to stream, but there is no GUI indicator that it's actually running.

9. Story about pipes for CS161 : 17:23
Although stymied, McIlroy didn't drop the idea. "And over a period from 1970 to 1972, I'd from time to time say, 'How about making something like this?', and I'd put up another proposal, another proposal, another proposal. And one day I came up with a syntax for the shell that went along with the piping, and Ken said, 'I'm going to do it!'"
"He was tired of hearing this stuff," McIlroy explained. "He didn't do exactly what I had proposed for the pipe system call. He invented a slightly better one that finally got changed once more to what we have today. He did use my clumsy syntax."
"Thompson saw that file arguments weren't going to fit with this scheme of things and he went in and changed all those programs in the same night. I don't know how...and the next morning we had this orgy of one-liners." mcIlroy "He put pipes into UNIX, he put this notation into shell, all in one night," McElroy said in wonder.
8. Story ideas for CS161 : 17:23
- "And so, Ken Thompson started mailing magnetic tapes with the Unix source code and utilities to his friends, labeling them simply "Love, ken". And so, in the early 1970's, a culture of Unix hackers sprang up, working with the Bell Labs source code."
- "Around the mid 1970s, a professor by the name of John Lions at the University of New South Wales in Australia decided to use Unix to teach operating system architecture."
- "If you had taken Lions' class at the time, you would have bought two books (one red and one orange), they were the Source Code and Commentary on UNIX Level 6. The class became quite popular, and soon Bell Labs took notice. " Most photocopied books in computer history.
"Because we couldn't legally discuss the book in the University's operating systems class, several of us would meet at night in an empty classroom to discuss the book. It was the only time in my life that I was an active member of an underground." --Peter B. Reintjes, on the back of the 1996 reprinting of Lions' Commentary

7. History from Dennis Ritchie for CS161 : 16:51
What we wanted to preserve was not just a good environment in which to do programming, but a system around which a fellowship could form. We knew from experience that the essence of communal computing, as supplied by remote-access, time-shared machines, is not just to type programs into a terminal instead of a keypunch, but to encourage close communication.— Dennis Ritchie
So it really did begin with Space Travel... then a file system (which had been previously designed with chalk), then user-level utilities (because a filesystem is wasted if you don't have stuff to do with it), then a shell, then an assembler.
How the old shell worked:
- The shell closed all its open files, then opened the terminal special file for standard input and output (file descriptors 0 and 1). - It read a command line from the terminal. - It linked to the file specifying the command, opened the file, and removed the link. Then it copied a small bootstrap program to the top of memory and jumped to it; this bootstrap program read in the file over the shell code, then jumped to the first location of the command (in effect an exec). - The command did its work, then terminated by calling exit. The exit call caused the system to read in a fresh copy of the shell over the terminated command, then to jump to its start (and thus in effect to go to step 1).

Hi guys I know this must have been covered in a hundred posts, but I can't get PS3 Media Server to connect with PS3.
I've checked various threads and have tried everything, i.e. ensuring Windows 7 firewall is allowing the program through (it is), I've tried running the wrapper.exe file (does not help) and also tried installing as a Windows service and opening the services page to start the service (doesn't work). I've tried putting in my PC's IP address and also the PS3's IP (which seems to change every time I restart the thing, one day it's 192.168.0.3, the next minute it's 192.168.0.6 - wondering if THIS is the problem and if I can get the PS3 to stay on the same IP address?). I have tried everything.
My PS3 finds my PC though so it's not a wireless connection issue; the Windows Media Player icon or whatever comes up on the PS3. So it MUST be a PS3MS issue.
I've recently bought and installed a new router, having trouble opening ports on it but never had to open/forward a port for PS3MS before and it worked fine on my old router.
Can someone please shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? Also with uninstalling and reinstalling PS3MS I know there are settings I need to delete somewhere after uninstalling it but can't find them.

Vice President Biden Unveils Home Retrofit Plan for Energy Efficiency
Vice President Biden released on October 19 the "Recovery Through Retrofit" report, which lays out a plan to help U.S. residents upgrade the energy efficiencies of their homes. The scheme aims to increase green jobs and save energy through residential retrofits. At the same time, DOE issued a solicitation that offers $454 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds—including $390 million for a "Retrofit Ramp-Up" program—to support energy efficiency efforts throughout the country.
At a Middle Class Task Force meeting earlier this year, the vice president asked the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to develop a proposal for federal action to lay the groundwork for a self-sustaining industry for home energy efficiency retrofits. Their response comes in the October 19 report and includes these federal recommendations: provide U.S. homeowners with home energy retrofit information, including an energy performance label for existing homes; get past cost barriers by making financing more accessible, including long-term municipal loans repaid through the owners' property tax bills, a concept known as Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE); and establish national workforce certifications and training standards, creating a uniform set of national standards to qualify workers for energy efficiency retrofits. See the Recovery Through Retrofit report (PDF 485 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
DOE's new solicitation will support the retrofit objectives with a series of "Retrofit Ramp-up" awards, ranging from $5 to $75 million, for states, local governments, and Indian tribes. DOE seeks innovative programs that are highly leveraged, are broadly replicable and scalable, can achieve cost savings when scaled up, and are likely to be self-sustaining beyond the funding period. The programs should achieve high-quality retrofits for a large fraction of the buildings within entire neighborhoods and communities, and they can include PACE programs and programs that employ Home Performance with Energy Star, a national program from DOE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. DOE also offered $64 million in energy efficiency grants for local governments and state-recognized Indian tribes that are not eligible for direct funding under DOE's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program. Applications are due on December 14. See the DOE press release, download the full solicitation (PDF 395 KB), and see the solicitation postings on grants.gov and FedConnect.

A Denver Post reporter spends nine months investigating a ski accident story that raises the ire of Summit County residents and sheriff.
Sheriff John Minor: "As the sheriff of Summit County, I read with interest the articles about skier injuries and fatalities...The ski patrollers we work with are dedicated, caring professionals...well trained and ultimately in the best position to respond to any on-mountain incident...The sheriff's office works very closely with the ski areas, and we are proud of the relationship we have developed..."
Thomas Ide: "... the only thing I'm angry with the sheriff about is he beat me to the punch on ripping the 'investigative report' run by SDN."
After reading Ms Crummy's Denver Post series, Sheriff Minor's opinion in SDN and the letters to the editor, I include the following quote from John Minor (Re: Sheriff calls new gun law 'unenforceable': Summit Daily News, March 21): "The way this bill is written, it cannot be enforced. This law was deliberately written to be unenforceable. It is a stepping stone to enact further restriction down the road. It is a game. Everyone is being played."
Run John Minor's insight up the proverbial flag pole as it concerns the enacting of an unenforceable gun law by the Colorado legislative management. What comes out is one can only go as far as the upper echelons of policy making and corporate liability allow. It's the way those in control stay in control. In other words, it is a game. Everyone is being played whether it's at ski resorts or enacting this Colorado law. Therefore, next time you buy a ski pass don't worry about the small print on the back side it's not there to inform you but to protect the industry.

This photo taken Thursday evening near Roosevelt Park shows five youngsters walking on the railroad tracks across the viaduct from east to west.
Although there are signs along the track that say "No Trespassing" this is of great concern to the Devils Lake community, especially in light of BNSF wanting to raise speed limits of trains through the city from 30 mph to 60 mph.
According to Devils Lake Police Chief Keith Schroeder getting caught trespassing on railroad property is a Class B Misdemeanor that carries a punishment of up to 30 days in jail, a maximum $1,500 fine or both.

|You voted us the best online quilt shop for 2013. Learn about what makes our fabrics so great below.
Connecting Threads offers quality cotton fabric, designed specifically for quilters. Connecting Threads is an online and catalog retailer selling quilting fabrics from some of the industry's most popular manufacturers like RJR Fabrics, Cotton + Steel, and more. Connecting Threads also sells our own exclusive fabrics, with limited-edition designs that you won't see anywhere else. Each of our exclusive fabrics are created according to our exacting standards and finished with our top-secret formula to create a flawless and amazingly soft finish.
We are proud to offer our exclusive fabrics at a price that fits within most budgets without sacrificing quality one iota. How do we manage this? We go directly to the mill, taking the middleman out of the equation. By sourcing and selling our fabrics directly, we are able to offer our customers wholesale prices on fabrics that won't be found anywhere else. We believe that convenience shouldn't cost extra, so we never charge for cutting. This means that our charms, strips and other precut fabric bundles have the same per-yard cost as our normal yardage cuts. Because affordability is one of the core values at Connecting Threads, we also do our best to offer fabrics from outside manufacturers at the lowest prices possible.
Quilting Cottons We pride ourselves on the quality of all of the fabrics we carry. When washed and dried, you can expect quilting cottons to shrink 3-5%. In wash tests, we found our fabrics to be color fast, however, we do recommend doing your own wash-test with dark, intense red and blue colors. We sell quilting cottons in three ways: exclusive collection prints, collection prints from outside manufacturers, and exclusive everyday basic fabrics. Collection prints from Connecting Threads or outside manufacturers are purchased in small quantities and are only available for a limited time. Everyday Quilter's Candy Basic Fabrics include solids, mottled mirage, and basic prints, and are available year-round.
Batik Fabrics Our 100% quilting cotton batik fabrics are hand-dyed by skilled artisans in Java, Indonesia, a country that has been producing stunning batiks for thousands of years. Each yard of this fabric is gorgeous and unique, and the colors vary slightly. The hand feel is very soft, though can be slightly less silky than our regular quilting cottons due to the wax printing process for some of the designs. Our Batik Paradise fabrics are available in three ways: seasonal novelties, limited-edition prints, and batik basics that are available year-round. Seasonal novelties and limited-edition prints are purchased in small quantities and their availability is limited to stock on hand.
Cotton Flannel We love our flannel - it is the softest we've ever felt! Our 100% cotton flannel is cozy, plush and luxurious. The flannel is produced by taking a thick canvas-like cotton fabric and brushing or "peaching" the surface to make it nice and fluffy. Our flannel shrinks 1-3% with machine washing and drying, and did not pill at all in our wash tests (using warm water and a delicate cycle). As with our batiks and collection prints, we sell our cotton flannel in two ways. Our Everyday Quilter's Candy Flannel Basics are simple prints and mottled fabrics that we carry year-round. We also offer our flannels in limited-edition collections. Each of our limited- edition flannels are designed to coordinate perfectly with our Everyday Quilter's Candy Basic Flannels so that you don't ever have to struggle to find matching fabrics. Our Flannel Basics and Flannel Collections are both made using the same materials and high-quality manufacturing processes, and are both available for $7.96/yard.
A note about computers: Your computer monitor may display colors differently than they actually are. In an effort to help you coordinate your selections, all fabrics with the same color name (i.e. Aqua) will match each other, regardless of screen color display.

I like this reasoning, especially since Native Americans were basically cheated out of everything they ever had. Why not give them some permanent recognition? My problem with just using Fox in the name is that it sounds like you're referring to the animal. Not only that, their was a culmination of two tribes, the Fox and the Sauk, which is why I think if you're going to use tribal names, you should include both. Another area to explore is the fact that these tribes were led by Blackhawk, the warrior chief.Sprague wrote: Milan's motto is Respecting the Past - looking to the Future - that's why I've liked names with Fox in it to respect the Fox Tribes that inhabited this land.

Fish All Day
The 290 CC has features to make fishing with the family enjoyable as well as fishing for a tournament easy.
Nice Features
This throne has powder-coated side rails for safety grips, headrests and well cushioned seats.
Space Saving Design
To port is a slide out Igloo cooler with another prep box on the top of the stern.
Standard Sink
The sink on the starboard side is well placed to rinse off after cutting bait on the cutting top to the left.
Pop-Up Cleats
Gunwales are nice and wide with pop-up cleats to keep the lines from getting snagged when a fish drives down the sides.
A Solid Investment
By Capt. Bob Smith
Bow Layout and Features
Up front you have a huge area to relax and to fish. Even though the bow has benches with cushions, you can put them away and use the benches for a great casting surface. Interior gunwale heights are high enough to keep the little ones inside, and the gunwale tops have aggressive grip surfaces. Gunwales are nice and wide with pop-up cleats to keep the lines from getting snagged when a fish drives down the sides.
Speaking of the forward benches, the seat bottoms create huge spaces for gear and the seat backs are hinged to reveal rod racks inside. A very good idea to keep the gear out of site and well organized. In the floor is a large 129-gallon fish locker with pump-out system. The best seat in the house, outside of driving, is the forward signature Everglades seat on the front of the console. This throne has powder coated side rails for safety grips, headrests and well cushioned seats.
Creature Comforts
The head is inside the center console and is fully finished. At six feet and over 200 lbs., I found it easy to get into this space and move around. Mom and the kids will really appreciate that! The head does offer some storage, a toilet, sink and easy access behind panels to the electronics connections.
Console Features
The helm itself was really laid out well. We had the comfort of Honda digital information gauges to tell us how the engines performed. The console offers lots of room for flush mount electronics, and the power-assisted hydraulic steering came in handy in the heavy traffic and rough chop we ran into.
Our test boat had the T-top which offered a lot of protection from the elements, more electronics gear space, but did cut down on forward visibility somewhat, due to the cross bracing requirements across the windshield. Not a bad trade for the benefits, though.
Fishing Amenities
Everglades' Command Leaning Post Station will keep the driver and the one in charge of the bait very happy. The bench seat has two comfortable positions, with a flip-down footrest just below when you do choose to sit, and it easily moves out of the way for standard stand up driving. The fire extinguisher is prominently placed right behind the driver's left leg in a pocket. I really appreciate that as most get placed where they can't be found in a hurry. Everglades does pay close attention to safety aboard. The sides of the leaning post have Plano tackle boxes organized behind a door for easy access and good order. Behind the seat is the workstation for the bait person, with two tool/knife organizers to help keep the tips and blades out of the way.
The sink on the starboard side is well placed to rinse off after cutting bait on the cutting top to the left. Live bait is kept fresh in the center baitwell, which has a rounded interior with blue lighting to calm the bait before they become a big fish's dinner. The clear lid lets you keep an eye on them, and there's also a magnetic catch to hold it open while you chase them with the dip net. Pump and baitwell controls are located on the rear port corner, out of the way and within easy access.
Good-Size Cockpit
The rear cockpit offers the prime casting space on board. If you need seating underway, Everglades' ingenious flip out bench seat is easily deployed. To service the batteries, the seat stows and another handle allows you to simply lift the stern wall up to reveal the batteries arranged in a row on a tray that is well out of the bilge. Once again, they have done it right with placement and secure tie downs. In the floor, when you don't use the auxiliary fuel tank option, this space is a 66-gallon fish box. To port is a slide out Igloo cooler with another prep box on the top of the stern.
The 295 registers 28'7" length overall and rides on a stable wide beam of 9'9". Her draft with the outboards trimmed up is only 20" so getting into the shallows doesn't mean you have to have an outfielder's cast to reach the fish. She can carry up to 14 people, but comfortably can carry around ten. Her fuel tank holds 200 gallons and you have an option to add an auxiliary tank for another 70 gallons, but you forfeit the rear fish box to do it.
Performance and Ride
As I mentioned, the water was pretty choppy when we tested. Mixed 1-3 foot chop was not uncommon. We waited for smoother water to get the speed numbers done, but even with the chop, proved she was a dry ride and would not break your back when coming down off the big waves. The 295CC pushed through them with ease. She achieved a top speed of 49.8 mph, and was cruising at 21.6 mph for a range of 401 miles.
Everglades seems to be building a solid boat with a great offshore ride. They have features to make fishing with the family enjoyable as well as fishing for a tournament easy. These boats seemed to be solid performers, and the fit and finish was good. I believe the 295CC is a solid investment that will deliver many years of fishing and family cruising fun.

Endurance ride proves little test for '29 Indian
|Jeff Alperin pulls into the parking lot at the Motorcyclepedia museum in Newburgh, N.Y. He rode his 1929 Indian 101 Scout in the Motorcycle Cannonball endurance run. Bud Wilkinson / Republican-American
The 1929 Indian 101 Scout — dubbed "The Beast" because of its rugged exterior — successfully completed the Motorcycle Cannonball endurance run last weekend without once breaking down or stranding its rider.
"Absolute perfection," declared Yarocki, reporting that all that the vintage bike required was routine maintenance, such as adding oil, putting air in the tires and checking the valves. "I was worried sick. Anything can go wrong. I was hoping for the best. We prepared for the best. Then it's the luck of the draw," he said.
While the official results showed that Alperin came in fourth place out of the 69 pre-1930 bikes that left the Motorcyclepedia museum in Newburgh on Sept. 7, all headed for the Golden Gate Bridge, "The Beast" was one of the 19 motorcycles that successfully covered every mile of the prescribed route. The winner was Brad Wilmarth of Virginia, who claimed victory by simply having the oldest motorcycle among the 19 full-mileage biles - a 1913 Excelsior.
"When I started, my only goal was to make all the miles but, frankly, I didn't think it was going to happen," said Alperin, a longtime Connecticut resident who now makes his home in Florida. "After the second day, which was bitterly cold and rainy, I began to wonder if it might actually be possible. A couple more good days and I became convinced it really was possible."
As detailed in RIDE-CT earlier this month, Alperin bought the 101 Scout in 2001 from Yarocki, who is arguably the world's leading expert on the Indian model. Joined by Englishman Raindle, a protégé of Yarocki's, they formed the Torrington-based team that prepared "The Beast" for the rigors of the Motorcycle Cannonball that took riders cross country in two-plus weeks with only a one-day rest stop in Sturgis. S.D.
"We did the very, very best we could. All the knowledge we've ever gained about the 101 Scout went into this motorcycle. Any little thing could have ruined the whole experience," said the 85-year-old Yarocki, whose wife, Millie, stayed home and cheered the team from their home on Riverside Avenue.
What astounded Yarocki the most was "the collective energy of the group. It's unbelievable that you could get this many people ... to get these old motorcycles across America," he said. "Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge was the moment that stood out."
Alperin pointed to the teamwork that was required to succeed.. He noted the contributions of Yarocki and Raindle, and downplayed any discomfort he may have felt riding an 83-year-old machine. "It doesn't matter whether you're comfortable or not or whether the roads are good or bad, just do it. They kept the motorcycle viable, so essentially my job was to wake up the morning, get on the damn thing and not fall off."
Other participants were not so lucky. Three riders had accidents and many suffered breakdowns. "Every night people were out literally rebuilding the engines in parking lots. We didn't do that. That's purely because of George Yarocki," Alperin said. "Our bike may have been the only one that didn't get some kind of significant repair during the event."
The flawless performance of "The Beast" enabled Raindle to loan out his mechanical skills to other riders of 101 Scouts, notably Josh Wilson of Virginia, who finished fifth after having only purchased his unproven bike shortly before the event. "I've seen a lot of hotel car parks; mostly by torch light," said Raindle, using the English terminology for parking lots and flash lights. "I had an absolutely superb time fixing bikes; an awful lot of emergency repairs that you wouldn't consider in a shop. That was really enjoyable - like stepping back 70, 80 years."
"The Beast" was one of three bikes in the Motorcycle Cannonball with Connecticut connections. Dan Emerson of Woodstock rode a 1925 Henderson Deluxe, completed 3,950 miles and finished 21st. Buzz Kanter, the publisher of Stamford-based "American Iron" and "RoadBike" magazines, covered 3,687 miles on a 1929 Harley-davidson JDH and finished 31st.
Just because Alperin's 101 Scout ran smoothly didn't mean he didn't have concerns along the way. "There were many moments during the run when I wasn't worried the engine, I was worried some bolt would fall off the damn motorcycle, something idiotic would happen," he said. "For me, crossing the line and having it actually over was a phenomenal relief."
THUNDER FRIDAY in torrington
With the forecasters predicting rain for yesterday, a decision was made Thursday morning to postpone to the planned Torrington Thunder Bike Nite in downtown Torrington on Friday night. It will now be held between 5 and 9 p.m. this coming Friday.

ALAMEDA -- Khalil Mack took the culture shock in stride at his first visit to the Raiders' facility Friday.
At age 23 and joined by his parents for an introductory press conference, the University of Buffalo linebacker had plenty of support and was still getting his bearings after going No. 5 in the NFL draft Thursday to the Raiders.
It was Mack's first trip to California -- he'd never been farther west than Texas -- but it didn't approach his move five years earlier from Fort Pierce, Florida, to Buffalo, New York.
"I think it was October and it was 50 degrees and I saw people walking around in shorts and tank tops and I was confused," Mack said. "I had on the thickest jacket I could have and everyone was looking at me like I was crazy.
"It was a transition, but I got used to it. After awhile I was walking around in tank tops and shorts in 50 degree weather. Now I'm on the West Coast."
After a redshirt season, Mack set NCAA records for forced fumbles (16) and tackles for losses (78) to go along with a school-record 28.5 sacks. One of the appeals for general manager Reggie McKenzie was Mack's experience level during a time when so many players are leaving after their junior year.
Mack exuded confidence and resolve Friday in an approximately 15-minute session with the media.
"Coming to the professional level, guys are going to be just as talented if not more talented than I am," Mack said. "There are certain things you have to do to make sure you play fundamentally sound, use the right technique, and do it right every time."
He said he considered coming out after his junior year but was talked out of it by his mother Yolanda, who was sitting in an auditorium seat proudly wearing a Raiders cap. Mack said he wanted to be a top tier prospect and realized he needed to be a force in the Mid-American Conference.
"I knew I had to go out and show my dominance as a man and now that I'm talking to you I feel that I've done that, and now it's over and I have to go out and do it again," he said.
McKenzie said he expected Mack to have some special teams responsibilities but would leave his use on defense to the coaches. Mack, when asked about what uniform number he would wear, said he was thinking about "52 ... if that's not too soon."
Said McKenzie: "It can't come soon enough."
Mack said his sideline-to-sideline zeal and competitive nature comes from his father.
"He's a prideful and competitive guy and he doesn't like to lose and I don't like to lose so you'll rarely see me get beat up in any sense of the game because I don't like to lose," Mack said. "If I get beat once, you won't beat me again."
Sandy Mack said Khail was given no breaks just because he was the youngest.
"I taught my boys to be competitive," Sandy Mack said. "We like to win. We didn't have no pity in our house. I've got three boys, and we were kind of rough around the edges. The only girl in the house was mom."
Mack's interview with the Raiders at the NFL scouting combine got off to a rocky start when he mentioned the club's one-sided loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl. He was also confused when talking to McKenzie, believing the G.M. had been personally scouting his practices at Buffalo.
The Raiders' regional scout in the northwest, Raleigh McKenzie, is Reggie's twin brother. The Raiders didn't bring Mack in for a pre-draft visit to the facility, so he wasn't sure what to think.
"I thought, 'I didn't get an invite or nothing?' " Mack said. "It just shows you how this process is, and I'm glad to be here."

TAHOE, Calif. - Started by a small group of women at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church who enjoyed knitting and crocheting, the Knitters Guild of Incline Village celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Originally, these women met on an informal basis and visited with each other, sharing patterns and ideas.
Soon the group evolved into one that found pleasure in making warm clothing and blankets for families who needed them in Incline Village and the North Tahoe area.
"The Knitters Guild of Incline Village was formed and became an important part of the Outreach Program of the church," explains Peggy Harrison, leader and one of the group founders. "It's a win-win situation when a member takes pleasure in using her skills to help others. Anyone with basic knitting and crocheting ability is welcome to join the Guild, and if those skills need refreshing, we can help. Patterns, yarn and needles are always available."
Most of the members live in Incline Village, and some women from Tahoe City and Truckee have also joined the Guild, which meets every Wednesday from 1-3 p.m. in the library of St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, 341 Village Blvd., Incline Village.
Several hundred items are handmade and donated to numerous organizations each year.
Tahoe Forest Hospital in Truckee receives layettes for newborns and blankets for long-term care patients; hats, sweaters, scarves and mittens. Other warm items are taken to the North Tahoe Family Resource Center in Kings Beach.
The American Cancer Society in Reno is grateful for chemo caps, made of very soft yarn for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
The Holiday Giving Program in Incline Village supports the Guild with an annual monetary donation that helps supplement the donated yarns, patterns and needles, and receives a broad variety of warm things for families in the community.
The Senior Center in Truckee is always pleased to receive blankets, slippers, lap robes, and such, and warm hats are supplied to the Incline Elementary School counselors for children who need them.
Guild members are also part of the Incline Village After-School Program as they teach knitting and crocheting at Incline Elementary School every Monday from 3-4 p.m. The students are willing and enthusiastic learners and the Knitting Club is a very popular after-school activity for both girls and boys!

Pleasanton's newly-elected mayor, Jerry Thorne, said he will long remember one afternoon during the recent campaign when he knocked on a door and a "very sweet and cute young girl around 10 or 11 years old" came to the door.
As Thorne told her who he was, she put her hands over her mouth and said she could not believe that the man who has his name on all those signs was actually standing at her front door.
"She was excited and called her parents to the door," said Thorne. "She made me feel like a rock star."
Councilmember Cheryl Cook-Kallio had a similar experience when walking precincts. A resident opened his door and said, "Oh my gosh. It is you! It's really you!" The man proceeded to call his wife to the door and was so impressed that Cook-Kallio had come to his home that he gave her a hug.
Newly-elected councilmember Karla Brown enjoyed Saturday mornings during the campaign with her team in front of Tully's Coffee across from the Farmers Market.
"We asked hundreds of people if they were Pleasanton voters," said Brown, who learned that either the Farmer's Market is frequented by many out-of-town shoppers or "maybe people just weren't ready to talk politics first thing in the morning," she said with a smile.
Some local shoppers were more than happy to chat, however, and Brown said she misses her regular Saturday morning visits with Dr. Ford Roberts, Emil Oxsen and Daryl Thomas.
Brown also said pushing metal sign posts with her distinctive bright red signs into hundreds of front yards throughout town taught her that her yard isn't the only one full of hard clay under the grass.
For newly-elected council member Jerry Pentin, a memorable moment during his campaign occurred when candidates attended an evening forum at a senior housing facility. Each candidate took turns walking up to a microphone to give a statement.
Pentin said when it came his turn, he took a step toward the microphone and felt the sole of his expensive dress shoe flap away from the shoe.
"I couldn't just stop and tell everyone my shoe had broken," he said, "so I scooted my shoe across the floor as best I could as I stepped up to speak."
Pentin's shoe has since been repaired thanks to council candidate Erlene DeMarcus who handed Pentin a business card at the candidate forum from Pleasanton shoe repair business, Maselli Bros.
MISSING TRIKE: Pleasanton's Becky Moulthrop needs our help. She walked over to our newspaper office to report that her bicycle, a three-wheeled adult tricycle that she relies on to get around town because she doesn't drive, has been stolen.
Becky said she and her neighbor lock their bikes under their apartment's stairs, but someone stole the two bikes earlier this month.
The theft has been reported to police, but she is hopeful we can help her spot the $250 trike around town. If you have information, call the police at 925-931-5100.
Let's help Becky.
