I'm working with a laser, the software for which can import DXF files for cutting. However, the cutting field of the laser is smaller than the size of the drawing.
I'd like to be able to break a large DXF up into smaller "tile" DXF files using a regular grid and then use those tiles to cut out the larger parts.
Can anyone tell me if something like this possible with dxflib (or QCAD)?

Polk only area team at home in first round
Published: Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 10:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 10:17 p.m.
The Western Highlands Conference had two of the best football teams in the area, Polk County and Hendersonville, and there's a chance that those two teams could meet again next Friday night.
Both are in first-round 2-A state playoff action tonight, with the conference champion Wolverines (8-3), who are the fifth seed, hosting No. 12 seed Madison (6-4), and 13th-seeded Hendersonville (5-6) traveling to fourth-seeded Reidsville (9-2).
Two other area teams, both from Transylvania County, will also be on the road tonight. In 2-A, No. 14 Brevard (5-6) will be at No. 3 seed North Wilkes (9-2), and in 1-A, it's a Smoky Mountain Conference showdown as No. 8 Rosman (3-8) goes to No. 1 Murphy (8-3).
For Polk, tonight is a rematch from Sept. 27, when it beat the Patriots 21-7. The Wolverines are powered by dual threat quarterback Reece Schlabach who 30 touchdowns (10 passing, 20 rushing) and is only 86 yards rushing shy of reaching 1,000 yards rushing, to go along with 1,482 yards passing.
Madison counters with quarterback Tyler Hoffman, who now has 5,020 career rushing yards, with 2,446 this season.
If Polk wins, it will take on the winner between Reidsville and Hendersonville in next week's second round.
The Bearcats have a tall order as they face a squad that has 18 state championships and is currently ranked sixth in the state. Hendersonville is led by quarterback Cole Cleary, who has a combined 26 touchdowns with 1,438 passing yards and 1,086 rushing.

EAGLE COUNTY - Beauty is in the eye of the grade card holder, and whether you love or loathe Eagle County's two congressmen depends on who's keeping score.
For example, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) loves Republican Scott Tipton and loathes Democrat Jared Polis.
If you're Conservation Colorado, Polis walks on the water he's helping purify (he gets a perfect 100 percent) and Tipton is covered in mud (he gets an 11), according to its National Environmental Scorecard. Americans for Prosperity gave Tipton a B and Polis a D-.
"The best that can be said about this session of the 112th Congress is that it's over," said League of Conservation Voters President Gene Karpinski.
The two organizations released their latest congressional scorecards for the 112th Congress.
Americans for Prosperity-Colorado calls itself "a free-market grassroots organization." The group says it values "smaller government and economic freedom."
Conservation Colorado says it's a statewide grassroots organization that "represents the next chapter in protecting Colorado's environment."
AFP gave senators Michael Bennet and Mark Udall a D and D-, respectively.
They're both Democrats, but that's not where their D's come from.
Conservation Colorado saw things through a different prism, giving Bennet 100 percent and Udall a 93 percent.
"Colorado constituents need to know how their representative or senator voted," said AFP-CO policy director Sean Paige. "The AFP Scorecard is the best way for our activists to keep a close eye on Washington, and confront them when they don't vote responsibly."
Conservation Colorado has a different perspective on who's being attacked and protected.
"In the face of unprecedented attacks from corporate polluters and their allies in Congress, environmental allies like Senators Bennet and Udall stood up for our values and put Coloradans first," said Conservation Colorado Executive Director Pete Maysmith.
Conservation Colorado's 2012 scorecard includes 14 Senate votes and 35 House votes on issues ranging from public health protections to clean energy to land and wildlife conservation.
Colorado Conservation gave the state's House delegation an average score, in 2012, of 45 percent. The two Democratic Senators averaged 97 percent.
Americans for Prosperity insists the 112th Congress scorecard must include votes on issues such as repealing Obamacare, pre-empting the EPA's purported authority to regulate greenhouse gases, passing Rep. Paul Ryan's budget, ending ethanol subsidies, several Congressional Review Act resolutions to overturn new regulations, and the fiscal year 2012 appropriations bills.

Terry Kremin is an engaged Concord resident. He's twice been a candidate for City Council, he's a member of the historical society, and he stays abreast of local issues, as his frequent emails to my inbox attest.
So it hardly came as a surprise when he recently launched a petition to end the generous medical benefits available to council members. He prefaced his request for signatures with a slice of sarcasm, always appreciated in this corner:
Help wanted: Part time, flexible hours, lifetime health care after five years of employment! Sound too good to be true? It SHOULD, but this is exactly what the members of the Concord City Council award the members of the Concord City Council.
Council members are indeed afforded that benefit, City Manager Valerie Barone said. It's the same benefit available to all city employees age 50 or older with five years of service who retire, within 120 days of leaving their jobs.
You can credit (or blame) the city's participation in the California Public Employees Retirement System -- CalPERS, as it's known -- which administers the Public Employees Medical and Health Care Act. You may find the perk excessive -- I certainly do -- but it's hard to blame workers for accepting what's offered. That can be changed only through collective bargaining, which won't happen until the council leads by example.
But why are council members included? They aren't full-time employees -- they receive stipends, not salaries -- even if they invest 30 or more hours a week on their tasks. Plus, their biggest job is to watch the city's finances, and this perk flies in the face of that.
What makes this so peculiar is council members seem to agree. Councilmen Dan Helix and Edi Birsan and Vice Mayor Ron Leone say they want the perk to end, and Mayor Tim Grayson is leaning that way. I was unable to reach Laura Hoffmeister.
"When I ran in 2010 (and lost), part of my platform was in terminating this," Birsan said. "I ran on the same position in 2012 (when he won). I've brought this up at least six times since being elected."
The devil is in the details. Barone said CalPERS makes the determination that council members are full-time employees, and CalPERS requires that all full-timers are treated alike. "I wish it were a neat and clean issue," she said. "We've done lots of research in trying to find a way out of this."
Helix, who chairs the committee investigating this issue, said he discovered that Concord's benefits are more generous than neighboring cities. Far too generous, he thinks.
"It's unreasonable to expect taxpayers to support lifetime medical benefits for someone who serves a limited period of time on the council," he said.
Four retired elected officials are covered by Concord's plan, at cost of about $22,000 last year. The reason the expense wasn't greater is once a retiree reaches 65, Medicare becomes his or her primary carrier. The city provides supplemental coverage.
A sidebar to this issue is that Grayson and Leone, both first-termers running for re-election, can reach the five-year mark if they win in November, thereby qualifying for the very perk the council presumably is trying to end.
Helix, who is researching the legal obstacles to ending the benefit, thinks the council will vote to fix the problem, but that action may affect only new members. Those who were elected when the benefits were in place likely will retain them.
I doubt that will satisfy Kremin. I'll find out when he emails me today.

Feet usually have an arch on the inside portion of the foot. A flat foot is a foot that has lost or never developed this arch. It is often associated with the lower part of the legs being angled outwards
Most flat feet are flexible. This type rarely causes problems and usually do not require treatment. Rigid flat feet can cause problems and are best treated.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Infants and young children naturally have flat feet. The arch should develop over time. Sometimes, the arch does not develop. It is not always clear why this happens.
Flat feet may develop because of:
Factors that increase your chance of flat feet include:
Flat feet may not cause any symptoms at all. Rigid flat feet may cause:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and foot exam will be done. Flat feet can be diagnosed by appearance. To determine if the foot is rigid, you may be asked to do some simple tasks.
If the flat foot is rigid and causing problems, you will be referred to a foot specialist. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include the following:
Physical therapy may relieve discomfort. You may be given a specific stretching and strength program. You may also have treatment to help manage the discomfort.
Exercises can help with the strength of the surrounding muscles. It may relieve some of the pressure in the foot.
Orthotics are shoe inserts that support the foot. These inserts may help to reduce pain and disability in some people. In mild cases, a well-fitting pair of shoes with arch support may be all that is needed.
Flat feet caused by nerve or muscle disease may need special braces.
Feet that do not respond to the treatments above may need surgery. The surgery will help to create a supportive arch.
Well-fitted shoes with good arch support may help prevent flat feet.
Maintaining a healthy weight may also lower wear and tear on the arches.

SANTA CLARA — Patrick Willis is a fan of Ray Lewis' enthusiasm, passion and, last but not least, his jersey No. 52.
When Willis got drafted in 2007 as the 11th overall pick, the 49ers called to ask him which number he preferred.
"They had a 51, a 52, a 50, a 57," Willis recalled Wednesday. "I love even numbers, and it was the best number out of the numbers they gave me."
That was only part of the No. 52 equation for Willis, who thought: "It'd be a great number to ply up to, and great guys have worn it, and one is Ray Lewis."
Lewis will play the final game of his 17-year career when his Baltimore Ravens face the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 in New Orleans.
Even though they both are linebackers and share No. 52, Willis wasn't planning to become The Next Ray Lewis.
"I didn't know that six years later, people would compare myself to him," Willis added. "I wanted to be the best football player I could."
While meeting up on multiple Pro Bowl trips in Hawaii, a friendship developed between the two. On Jan. 13, Lewis called Willis and they used their phones' FaceTime application to watch a television broadcast of the Atlanta Falcons' divisional playoff win over the Seattle Seahawks.
"Ray's one guy that loves to give wisdom and knowledge," Willis said. "I'm a guy that loves to listen."

SONOMA -- Kurt Busch turned the fastest lap in the first practice session for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Friday at Sonoma Raceway, giving the veteran driver and his young team continued hope they can turn around their season.
Busch, who has three straight top-five finishes in Sonoma and is in his first season with Stewart-Haas Racing, enters this weekend 26th in points. He has three top-three results -- including a victory at Martinsville in March -- but also nine finishes outside the top 20.
But things seem to be getting better for Busch and rookie crew chief Daniel Knost. Busch finished third at Pocono two weeks ago and was 13th in Michigan last Sunday, as they try to learn from the mistakes they made earlier in the season.
"We've been hot or ice cold. We hit it hot at Martinsville, when we won, and we had a top five and had a chance to win in Fontana," said Busch, who had a lap time of 75.039 seconds in the first practice session Friday. "That's what happens when you have a new group. We've had to go through the process of growing, and the growing pains have been tough at times."
Busch probably had the best car in last year's race in Sonoma but was penalized for speeding twice on pit lane and finished fourth for Furniture Row Racing. He was third in 2012 with Phoenix Racing and won the race in 2011 in his last season with Penske Racing.
Both years he qualified 11th or better, and a victory Sunday would all but assure that Busch makes the Chase for the Cup for the fourth time in five years. Qualifying is Saturday morning.
"Where we're at right now, we're in a position that if you go out here and win, it locks us in to the Chase," said Bowyer, who is 14th in the standings. "The only thing I can do that I can't afford to do here is get wiped out, crash myself, run off the track, divebomb somebody and make a mistake where it really takes you out of contention for a good finish."
Points leader Jeff Gordon, who started full time with Hendrick in 1993, offered a slight retort Friday.
"I definitely saw some cars at Michigan last week that were not Hendrick cars that didn't need to be complaining about their engines," Gordon said. "They were getting down the straightaway plenty good. We were really beating them in the corner, though.
"All I know is over the years when other teams are complaining about us that is usually when things are going really well for us."

Area briefs: Dambaugh starts strong at Women's Am
Clemson, USC continue football practice
Published: Monday, August 5, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at 12:57 a.m.
USC's Katelyn Dambaugh fired a 3-over 74 to tie for 27th after Monday's opening round of the U.S. Women's Amateur at Country Club of Charleston. Spartanburg/Wofford product Katy Funk is tied for 147th with a 13-over 84. A trio helping comprise Clemson's new program starting in the fall are also competing with Ashlan Ramsey (tied for 54th at 76), McKenzie Talbert (tied 94th at 79) and Sloan Shanahan (tied 127th at 81). The top 64 will advance after Round 2 to comprise match play. Hawaiian Allisen Corpuz leads after carding the day's lone under-par round at 69.
CLEMSON: The Tigers football team worked for two-and-a-half hours in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts on Monday. It was the third day of practice for Dabo Swinney's Tigers, who are preparing for the season opener against fifth ranked Georgia on Aug. 31.
The Tigers will work in the same gear Tuesday, then put on full pads on Wednesday.
... Head Coach Robbie Tenenbaum announced the hiring of former Tiger coxswain Katie Bruggeling as an assistant coach on Monday. Bruggeling was a member of the Clemson rowing team from 2010-2013 and will join the staff for her first season as a coach.
SOUTH CAROLINA: In Columbia, the Gamecocks football squad held its fourth practice of the fall camp on a beautiful Monday evening in Columbia. The squad worked out for over two hours in helmets and shoulder pads at the Bluff Road practice fields.
Junior All-America defensive end Jadeveon Clowney returned to practice after sitting out much of Sunday's practice. He tweaked his knee during Saturday's practice.
Sophomore linebacker Cedrick Cooper dislocated his left elbow during Monday's practice. He is expected to be sidelined a few days.
Clowney has been named to the preseason watch list for the 12th edition of the Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award.
Clowney, a 6-6, 274-pounder from Rock Hill, is the defending Hendricks Award winner.
... The Gamecocks added two staff members to the baseball program as announced by head coach Chad Holbrook on Monday. Tyson Lusk was hired as the new director of baseball operations, and former Gamecock infielder Adrian Morales will return to Columbia to serve as student assistant coach for the 2013-14 season.
... Cocky, the cheerleaders, Sir Big Spur and the fall sports student-athletes from football, men's soccer, volleyball and cross country highlight the annual Colonial Life Fan Appreciation Day.
The free event is set for Sunday, Aug. 11, at Colonial Life Arena from 1-3 p.m. Parking is available for free in the Colonial Life Arena lots. Doors will open at 1 p.m. and the football team is expected to be on hand from 1:15-2:45 p.m.

The first indication Loren Gewerth had cancer was when he went to the Red Cross Bloodmobile to donate blood.It was 1982, and Gewerth, then 24, was working at the Ford garage."I was going to give blood, but was rejected because of low iron. For a 24 year old to have low hemoglobin was very unusual," he said last week.Further investigation showed Gewerth had Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer that can spread through the body via the blood stream."It was through my abdomen," Gewerth said. "They had to remove one kidney, and four and a half pounds of cancer."During the surgery, Gewerth needed eight units of blood, and additional units of blood plasma.Three years later, Gewerth was back in surgery to repair an after effect of the cancer — a perforated bowel, which required more blood.Although he has been cancer-free for nearly 30 years, Gewerth is on the "permanently deferred" list for donating blood."Although I would if I could," he added.

Vincent Van Gogh is more than his "Starry Night" or his severed ear. That's what Denver Art Museum curator Timothy Standring is out to illustrate with Becoming van Gogh, an exhibit of 70 van Gogh works (and 20 pieces by van Gogh's contemporaries) on display at the museum through Jan. 20, 2013. After that date, the show will be dismantled, never to be seen together again. "We have to change how we look at van Gogh," Standring said. "We counter former studies of van Gogh that dwelled on his biographical, somewhat mentally deranged state, and we focus on his artistic and conscious decisions."The exhibit, which Standring calls a "slow food exhibit" to savor, shows van Gogh's unconventional path to becoming one of the world's most recognizable artists. The show looks at van Gogh's studio practice and his artistic journey, which started late, when van Gogh was 27 years old. "He failed at four other careers," Standring said. "This was his fifth."One of those failed careers was as a pastor. After being told he lacked some necessary skills to preach, likely of the social variety, Van Gogh turned his attention to art. He committed to mastering the techniques so he could paint visual sermons.
Other interesting tidbits about van Gogh? He read and wrote in four languages. He studied Latin and Greek and read Charles Dickens. Over the course of his career - only 10 short years - he produced 1,000 drawings and 800 paintings."He was extremely smart and keenly obsessed with the downtrodden," Standring said. After spending seven years putting together this exhibit, it's not surprising that Standring is a venerable expert on van Gogh. He worked with 60 different lending entities - museums and private partners - to put together this world premier exhibit, which meant emailing, Skyping and "making telephone calls until they refused to take them," Standring said with a grin. He flew around the world, showing up on people's doorsteps to convince them to loan a van Gogh masterpiece for the show. And considering the Denver Art Museum has no van Gogh works in its permanent collection, and that Denver is the only city to host Becoming van Gogh, this exhibit is quite the accomplishment, and certainly one of the biggest feathers in the DAM's 120-year-old hat. "People need to start planning to get down here," Standring said.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
When the Crime Syndicate of Earth-3 invaded and seemingly conquered Earth-New 52 in Forever Evil #1, claiming to have killed the members of the Justice Leagues, the home-Earth villains took over DC comics, scrawling their names over the logos of their foes and initiating other evil acts like using decimal points in their issue numbers and putting the wrong stories in the wrong titles. (A Dial H epilogue and a Lobo one-shot in Justice League comics? A Batgirl story in a Batman comic?). But, most nefariously of all, the villains of DC Comics raised the price of each issue by a dollar and launched one of the biggest gimmick covers schemes in the modern history of direct market super-comics: heavy, plastic, 3D lenticular covers primed to be collected more so than read, and sparking insidious speculation, goosed my unpredictable shortages to many retailers. The monsters.
But while most attention has been focused on the covers, there are, in fact, stories beneath them, and so for the past three weeks we've been not judging the books by their covers, but by their contents. (Here's Week One, Week Two and Week Three, if you missed 'em.) As in the previous months, I've been ranking the books on their overall quality, on a scale of one to 10: Not Very Good, Somewhat Disobedient, Naughty, Morally Deficient, Without Scruples, Iniquitous, Wicked, Maleficent, Evil and Absolute Evil (although, as none received a perfect 10, you might want to adjust your reception of my ratings up by one).
Also, and perhaps more importantly, I've been noting how connected each is to the Forever Evil event that ostensibly led to this state of affairs at DC, so, if you're only interested in these things for their narrative import rather than their creators or characters, you'll know which are worth your attention. So let's take one last wallow in the evil of (almost) every issue of this week's Villains Month, and hope for the swift and triumphant return of our heroes starting next month.

Knitter's Review
September 27, 2012
I've just spent a mind-blowing week on a faraway island dotted with special sheep and with people in colorful handknits. I caught sheep and had my ear nibbled by a goat, I saw a double-rainbow, a falcon perched on a fence post, and three white swans in what seemed like the middle of nowhere. I touched centuries-old handknits and gathered with local knitters in a church for their beloved monthly knit-in.
And I have pictures. Escape to Iceland with me.

MARIETTA - No one was injured, but a family pet died in a Sunday afternoon fire that destroyed an Oak Grove home.
Four area fire departments responded to the blaze that broke out at 107 1/2 Hanson Drive shortly after 1 p.m.
"It's a total loss. We think the fire may have started in the kitchen area in the attic or on the main floor, but that hasn't been determined," Lt. Josh Stewart, with the Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department, said Sunday.

A firefighter douses flames shooting through the roof of a home at 107 1/2 Hanson Drive in Oak Grove near Marietta on Sunday afternoon.
Regina Jenks, 25, who lived in the single-story house, was working at Marietta Memorial Hospital when the fire broke out. Her husband, Jacob Jenks, 27, who owns the home, said the couple was separated and he had been living with his parents in the Waterford area.
"It was a starter home. I've been fixing the house up for about three years now," he said.
"The electrical wiring was pretty bad. It has to be completely re-done."
Jacob said the couple's dog, Riley, an Australian shepherd, had apparently died during the blaze.
Stewart later confirmed firefighters had found the pet's body lying just inside a sliding glass door at the front of the home.
Jerry Jenks, Jacob's father, said the house had originally been a mobile home and the rest of the structure had been built on over several years.
"Jake was fixing it up, and it was a lot of work," he said. "They lost a lot, but I told them to just be extremely thankful there was no one inside when it caught fire."
Vicki Ayers, who lives just across the street from the Jenks home, said another neighbor had notified 911 while she called Jacob at his parents' home.
"When I first saw the fire there was smoke coming out of the back of the house - I thought it was the home behind theirs," Ayers said. "Later I could see brown smoke and then flames coming from the back of the house."
Shirley Weckbacher and Don Lemon, both 73, live in the house immediately next door to the Jenks home.
"There was no smoke inside our house, that I know of," said Lemon. "We were concerned that the fire might spread to our garage, but (the fire companies) got here pretty fast - in about five minutes."
Stewart said firefighters hosed down the exterior of the garage to prevent the blaze from spreading. He said the fire didn't seem to be suspicious, but the state fire marshal would probably be notified.
In addition to Oak Grove, Lowell-Adams and Warren volunteer fire departments, and the Marietta Fire Department responded to the blaze.

Of course Set Two is the big money: Chalkdust bounces patiently along but never blows up, Caspian functions as a 2/26/03-style landing pad and transitional tune - check out Trey's detailed trip-o-let work in the Caspian jam - and Heavy Things flows in organically. Hell, even Alaska is good here! This is a spectacular start to the set.
Then we're into the second half, which is the headline material. The 2001 is good, certainly a lot of fun, but not great - it's an old-fashioned throwback to the teasing allusions that characterized the nerd-savant Phish shows of the early 90's. Despite its length it's not a particularly 'complex' version. This is OK! I'll take an 11-minute monkeyparty 2001 over any other brief, clanky post-Coventry version. But let's be frank: this is a messy Billie Jean 'jam' mostly characterized by Trey singing the melody wrong, Mike playing the bassline wrong(!!!!!!!!!), and Page presumably wondering why he's the only one actually performing the song they're nominally jamming on.
Aww, Page. You half-bald geek.
What follows is one of my favourite versions of Light yet played, and a climactic Possum - complete with Bowie-style trill madness from Trey, blues-leavened - to blast your brain clean out of your skull.
The 6/27/10 Maryland show is the highlight of the tour so far, I think, but this one's nearly on its level - a triumph of its own sort. None of my criticisms matter when you're laughing and pumping your fists at the rock'n'roll magic rainbowing out of your stereo. Go do that then!

Seven new cases of the West Nile virus have been confirmed Friday.
There are now a total of 41 cases in Mississippi, including one death in Hinds County.
Still, the best protection is to not get bitten by a mosquito.
There are some sprays and chemicals you can use to get rid of them.
"It is no short term cure," said Kenneth Butler of Butler's Pest Service. "Everything will be long term."
As of now, the only confirmed West Nile cases in east Mississippi have been two dead birds found in Newton and Jasper Counties.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team will host the final home series of the season starting Friday, when McNeese State travels to Chapman Field for a three-game Southland Conference home series on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The Islanders are 19-24 overall, 10-14 in the Southland, and will host the Cowboys as they look to get back into contention for a spot in the upcoming Southland Conference Tournament. They are currently tied for ninth in the league, with the top eight earning a spot in the event. MSU is 18-25 on the season, with a 12-12 mark in league games.
The weekend will also mark the final home series of their Islanders career for 11 seniors, including Jeramie Marek, Phillip Garcia, Weston Montgomery, Bobby Buckner, Santiago Ruiz, Drew Vest, Omar Garcia, Michael Boyle, Marc Damon, Dan Sciantarelli and Alex Jack. The group will be honored before the game on Sunday in what will be their final game at Chapman Field.
Vest will lead an offensive attack that has come on as of late, as he is hitting .265, highest among the seniors. Jordan Lee is tops overall with a .293 average, while Jonathan Gonzales is right behind at .290 on the year. Gonzales also leads the team in home runs (8) and RBI (25), while Brad Porras hit his first two home runs of the season last weekend against Sam Houston State.
Adam Hoelscher will get the start for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi on Friday night, as he moves back into the Friday night role that he started the season in. Daniel Minor will get his first start this year in the middle game of a series when he goes on Saturday, while Trevor Foss will round out the weekend with the Sunday start.
For McNeese, Blake Ware will get the Friday start, and Tyler McDonald will start Saturday, while the third spot in the lineup is up for grabs after an injury to their Sunday starter last week.
Offensively, Seth Granger leads the team with a .331 batting average, and is tied for the team lead of three home runs.

Deputies seek money thieves
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 7:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 10:09 a.m.
The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office is asking the public to help find two men who stole money Wednesday morning at Michael's Arts and Crafts store in Houma.
The men walked into the store and made a small purchase, sheriff's Capt. Dawn Foret said.
One man began to haggle with the cashier about the amount of change he received and asked for different bills before he walked out of the store with more money than he gave, "essentially confusing the cashier and scamming the business," she said.
Both men are of medium builds, Foret said. One was last seen wearing a red collared shirt, a matching red baseball hat, dark jeans and white shoes. The other man wore a green shirt, dark jeans and dark shoes.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 876-2500 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-743-7433.

Flower Homage, Thailand
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
Photographer Catherine Karnow shares tips on how to create successful photographs in a variety of light situations, highlighting her own experiences with this gallery of photos taken while traveling or on assignment.
Often, the key to shooting at night is really to shoot at dusk. For this photograph, shooting at dusk yielded both a magical blue sky and a lovely glow from the candles nestled among the marigolds.
I love dusk more than any other time of day for shooting. It's that dreamy in-between time that is neither day nor night, that magic moment suspended in time. Dusk is the most romantic time of day. By shooting at dusk, you can preserve that moment of romance.
The length of the dusk can vary according to location and season—long dusks during summer in Scandinavia, short dusks at the Equator. The key to shooting at dusk is to set up early, because you never know exactly when the magic time will be. It could be just as it's starting to get dark, when there's still a glow in the sky from the setting sun. Or it could be well after it seems too dark, when your LCD screen may reveal that the sky is still a deep royal blue. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: When shooting at dusk, set up ahead of time and shoot until it's actually night—you never know when the best time will be for the situation you're capturing.

Midday Light: Cities
I shoot a lot of cities for National Geographic Traveler, and unlike in landscape photography, which can be tricky under a noonday sun, there's a lot to shoot in a city when the sun is high. For example, when shooting a city I look for the sun bouncing off of glass and steel buildings. This kind of light can only be captured in the middle of the day—early and late the streets are like canyons. Whenever I see those blinding spots of sun shining off of windows, I look across the street. When in Hong Kong, I was thrilled to see that the historic Central Police Station was lit with crazy patterns of light bouncing off the skyscraper opposite. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: When shooting in cities, look for the sun hitting steel and glass buildings and look across the street; the light can often be alive with interesting patterns.
Outdoor Yoga, Santa Monica
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
Midday Light: People
In my yoga class one morning, I heard that the Third Street Promenade—a pedestrian thoroughfare in Santa Monica, California—would be filled with yoga devotees. What a great way to capture yoga fever in its mecca! The only problem was the time of day; it would happen under a noonday sun, which is harsh and unforgiving in the Los Angeles area, where there's often not a cloud in the sky.
But I have many solutions for shooting in the middle of the day, when the light is "bad." When shooting people at this time, the key is to avoid sun on faces, which minimizes squinting eyes, high-contrast shadows, and especially the shadows created by hats. I was lucky that the yoga practitioners were facing away from the sun, but even so, I made sure to keep the light soft on their faces by coming around and shooting them backlit, avoiding even direct sun on their sides. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: When shooting in midday sun, backlight your subjects to avoid harsh light directly on faces.
Slickrock Trail, Moab
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
Inclement Weather
I had gone to Moab, Utah, to shoot the famous red rocks of Slickrock Canyon, a popular place for mountain biking. Of course, I was obsessed with showing how red the rocks are and so I set out to shoot in the late afternoon sun, when they would be at their reddest. But I was caught in a sudden downpour, which ended up giving me a wonderful surprise: The storm left behind a blue light and a rock surface that glistened with wetness. All of a sudden the rocks truly looked slick. I had wanted to shoot the place the way everyone sees it, but bad weather gave me an original and surprising way of showing the place. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: Except for lightning, never be afraid of bad weather; this is often when you get the most remarkable light, as well as surprising and unexpected photographs.
Nightclub, Paris
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
Low Light With Movement
I was on assignment for National Geographic Traveler and went to shoot this trendy, sixties-style bar called Ne Nous Fachons Pas in the steamy Pigalle neighborhood of Paris. My goal was to make one good shot, not shoot a million photos all over the bar. When I walked in, I was looking for people and a scene that evoked the sixties. I saw this guy who looked straight out of a Jean-Luc Godard film, with his square jaw and long sideburns. I asked if I could shoot him and his friend. They agreed and I bought them a round of drinks. My goal in bars and restaurants is to capture the natural ambiance of the place. I only use a flash if there's dancing. But my goal is also, as in any photo, to get a moment. This is difficult when there is very low light. A moment is caught action, and action will be blurry in low light.
Here is my trick. I usually use a tripod, since the shutter speed might be as low as 1/4 second. I watch the action carefully. I wait for a frozen moment. For example, I was watching the Godard guy. He would freeze when he was listening. But that wasn't a caught moment, because he was just still like a statue. Then I noticed that when he took a drag on his cigarette, he would freeze for a split second, just enough time for me to click the shutter, and happily, also get the red ember of the cigarette. That night, I only got two frames, but all it took was one for publication. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: Watch the action closely for when the subject freezes, and then shoot. You may only get a couple of frames, but one of those will be your shot.
Traveling Opera Audience, China
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
Natural Overhead Light
I was stuck in Wenchow, China, south of Shanghai, one clammy March, when a traveling opera troupe came into the village. Every day I photographed the opera: onstage, backstage, and even the audience, who were so enthralled by the show they never noticed that I was aiming the camera at them. I was lucky that the temple in which this took place was lit by giant skylights—or maybe it was open to the sky, I can't remember. In any case, I was able to capture the audience with a stunning light coming down on their faces. And since they were looking up at the stage, those faces were lit perfectly. I am often in search of natural overhead light in my shooting, especially when I'm shooting in bright light in the middle of the day. This type of light is heavenly. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: Look for natural overhead light when shooting; this beautiful type of light solves the problems created by working in dark spaces.
Train, Bangkok
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
It's a challenge to shoot on trains because you're often pointing your camera directly at the source of light, the windows. But I love backlight, the source of light coming directly into the camera. The key is to expose for the face tones—or whatever your subject is—and then let the source of light, in this case the big train window, overexpose (otherwise the subject will become a silhouette). It's true that there is absolutely no detail in that big white space. But I've never had a photo editor tell me that a backlit photo can't be published. In this shot of the people on the train, the light gives the image an ethereal quality, and the lack of detail emphasizes a sense of reverie, a dream-like state (something that is also accentuated by the small child sleeping.) —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: Don't be afraid to point your camera directly at a source of light and let the light overexpose—just be sure to expose for the subject.

This is the kind of light that's magnificent for landscapes. While shooting a story on the lands of Prince Charles, I stood on top of a high hill waiting for the right light. Even though the changing light was beautifully dramatic, I had to wait for almost three hours for the sun and clouds to be just so. (I know it was this long because my parking meter was about to run out!) Finally, perfection: The peninsula is in sun, its strong shape further emphasized by shadows in the bottom left and right of the frame. The white waves are in sun, and the rest of the image is scattered clouds and sun. It's this contrast of sun and clouds, this changing light, that gives drama to an already spectacular landscape. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: Shoot landscapes in dramatic light, but know that you may have to wait hours for the sun and clouds to be in the perfect position.
Fishing Boat, Ha Long Bay
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
Mist and Fog
I was doing a story on Ha Long Bay in northern Vietnam, and my goal was to depict old Asia. I grew up in Hong Kong in the 1960s, so I'm very nostalgic for that time. I wanted my photos to be like the Chinese brush paintings my mother used to paint. I wanted fog. Bright sun and blue skies wouldn't be right. I couldn't believe my luck when the mist and fog never lifted for two straight days! I was able to shoot for hours and hours.
Photographs are effective when they convey emotion. Although content and subject matter are key, the light is everything. I can't think of a better quality of light to have than that which appears with mist and fog, in this case helping to express the nostalgia of a timeless scene in Ha Long Bay. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: Instead of wishing for a sunny day and "beautiful weather," notice how elements like mist and fog can be effective in conveying emotion, especially nostalgia.
Tribal Dancers, Western Samoa
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
Creative Light Sources
I was at an arts festival in western Samoa and wanted to photograph tribal dancers somewhere other than on the stage under big theater lights. I didn't have any strobes or hot lights with me so I had to think creatively. One night I was driving down the dark road to my hotel, and a truck was coming at me with his high beams on. That's it, I thought, I'll light the dancers with truck headlights! I found a willing pickup truck owner and a field with a slight slope up the bank from the road, so when parked just so, the truck's headlights would point slightly upward at the dancers' faces, not at their stomachs. We turned on the truck's high beams, and the dancers performed. I had a purposely slow shutter speed to show motion, and then got my shot when one dancer froze briefly. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: Be creative with your source of light. You don't need fancy flashes, strobes, or theater lighting when you can use car lights, flashlights, or any number of other existing sources of lighting.
Icon Painter, Romania
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
Classic Sidelight
For classic subjects, I love using sidelight; it is timeless and gentle. I was lucky that 87-year-old Romanian painter Maria Poenaru worked in front of the big window in her bedroom, where I could capture the way the light illuminated her from the side. When I'm doing a portrait of someone, I'll often ask the subject to pose by the window or the side of a door. If it's bright outside, the light can be especially lovely. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: When doing a portrait, you can never go wrong if you bring someone over to a window or door and shoot them in sidelight. This classic light is especially appropriate for timeless subjects.
San Miguel Mission, Santa Fe
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
Early Morning or Late Afternoon
The best light for shooting is early in the morning and late in the day, which may not be the most convenient times on your schedule. Instead of wandering around aimlessly at dawn and before sunset, I usually scout my locations ahead of time and know where I want to go. The light changes fast, so I want to be in the right place at the right time. Having said that, if I don't have a particular place in mind, I always make it a point to get up early and shoot late anyway, because everything looks so much more beautiful at these times. This is especially true of a place that's bright and sunny all day. The early and late light in such locations will be sharp and golden. In the American Southwest, for instance, shooting early and late in the day is essential—the low sun brings out the clay-red colors of the land and architecture so beautifully. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: I dislike rules, which is one reason I'm a photographer, but if there is one true rule in photography, it's that you really must shoot early and late in the day to get the good light.
Billboard Model, Sunset Boulevard
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
I don't shoot with a flash very often, preferring a more natural look. But when I had to do a guidebook on Los Angeles, I realized I would never complete the book in six weeks if I only shot in good light—early and late in the day. I also realized that using flash in the middle of the day was perfect, especially in Hollywood, where the aesthetic often has an artificial quality (see photo above). For this kind of fill flash, I set the output to high, which does more than subtly fill in a bit of harsh shadows. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: When shooting, let your use of flash complement both your subject and your personal expression. Sometimes fill flash should be set on very high for an artificial flash look.
Sunset, Nile River
Photograph by Catherine Karnow
I was on a boat on the Nile, on holiday actually, and enjoying the sunset on the pool deck, cocktail in hand, like a normal person. As we watched, the sky took on these stunning tones, and I ran to get my camera.
We all love to watch a beautiful sunset, but I almost never bother shooting them. After all, no matter how beautiful the sky, you could be anywhere. Even a sunset on the water, or in the mountains, rarely gives you any sense of place. But there on the Nile, the cruise boat gleaming white in the last light was just the element I needed to make a shot that had both beauty and a sense of place. —Catherine Karnow
Photo Tip: When shooting a sunset, it isn't enough to get a great sky; you have to have an element in the shot that will provide both interest and a sense of place.

USB 3.0 Speed. USB 2.0 Compatibility. Flash Voyager® Durability.
Get faster read speeds and rugged reliability with the Corsair Flash Voyager USB 3.0 flash drive. USB 3.0 read speeds let you access movies, pictures and large files up to 4x faster than traditional USB 2.0 drives and the durable rubber design is water resistant and shockproof to keep your data safe.
USB 3.0 Speed
As fast as USB flash drives are, copying files always seems to take a little longer than you'd like. The advent of the USB 3.0 interface puts an end to that. You can move files back and forth in a fraction of the time it takes with standard USB 2.0 flash drives, and the USB 3.0 interface is fast enough to allow you to view videos directly from your Flash Voyager, instead of the traditional extra step of copying them to a hard drive.
USB 2.0 Compatibility
Of course, Flash Voyager USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. Even if you haven't yet upgraded your PC to USB 3.0, it's still a great choice for convenient, reliable portable file management, and the additional performance will be ready when your PC is.
Durable and Shock-Resistant
The finger-friendly ergonomics of the Flash Voyager USB 3.0 will make it the USB flash drive that you'll want to take with you everywhere. Reliability is essential.
Corsair's proprietary all-rubber housing is extremely durable, for worry-free transport of your valuable data. And because accidents happen, Flash Voyager USB 3.0 is water-resistant.
Unlike traditional storage media, flash drives are solid-state, so they can easily handle the everyday -- and not so everyday -- drops and bumps that come with the territory.
Convenient and Compatible
It works with Microsoft® Windows®, Mac OS X® and even Linux without drivers, and there's no software to install -- just plug it in, and go. If your computer has a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 connector, you can use Flash Voyager USB 3.0.

As Translational Medicine Data Become More...
From our September 1 Issue: We're...
The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
Treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas with Monoclonal...
Pfizer agreed today to withdraw its therapy for acute myeloid leukemia, Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin), from the U.S. market, effective October 15. The reason? It didn't work, and people died.
So far, the story makes sense. Developed by Wyeth, the drug was fast-tracked to treat patients ages 60 and older with recurrent AML who were not candidates for other chemotherapy. It was approved by the FDA in May 2000 based upon a surrogate endpoint, because it treated a serious disease that had no other viable therapy.
Four years later, a confirmatory trial was begun to confirm the results of the 142 patients who participated in the three previous clinical trials. Given the circumstances, the failure and subsequent withdrawal makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is what comes next. Wyeth stopped the 2004 trial early because patients experienced no clinical benefit and died in greater numbers than those receiving chemotherapy alone.
So, why did it take so long to withdraw the drug? Why is Mylotarg being withdrawn only for the U.S. market? Why does the withdrawal become effective October 15, three and one half months from now?
Why are patients who are on Mylotarg allowed to continue a therapy that, according to the FDA, "demonstrates no clinical benefit?"

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - The year 1986 saw many staff changes for the Snowmass Resort Association, which later evolved into Snowmass Tourism. In July, Keefer Welch, executive vice president/general manager for 31⁄2 years, resigned after a disagreement about the amount of money budgeted for summer marketing, according to The Aspen Times. Later that same year, Carolyn Bishop resigned as director of public relations after budget cuts required SRA to let go of a staff person, making room for her assistant, Terri Hart, to move into her position. Soon after, Carolyn's husband, Llyoyd Bishop, was let go as the SRA consolidated job duties and took a new marketing direction. The Bishops then started their own marketing agency; their first client was, ironically, the SRA. Pictured are Carolyn Bishop and Terri Hart.
Editor's note: This page is a partnership between the Snowmass Sun and the Aspen Historical Society with two primary goals in mind: to improve the knowledge of Snowmass history in the region and to collect historic photographs of the Snowmass region for the society.

Wow, I had no idea there was anything this comprehensive available. This program is excellent, everyone should trial it.
Switched from AntiRSI a couple of week ago.
I find the visual activity as a very helpful reminder to slow-down, relax and fix posture.
This is a very smart program. I've tried similar programs, but ended up skipping the breaks or quitting because I found them too jarring to my workflow. MacBreakz does not force you to stop working for a break (unless you set that as a preference). It knows when you are working and it watches your keyboard and mousing activities. It suggests micro-breaks (mine are set to 5 seconds) if your activity reaches a dangerous level. And the regular stretching breaks are customizable (I do one every 30 minutes, for 3.5 minutes). The program detects "informal breaks" and restarts the interval countdown. Very smart!

Murder charges have been dropped against a Jefferson City woman allegedly tied to a Columbia murder this summer.
According to Boone County prosecutors, 22-year-old Joycelynn Brown had her charges amended. She now faces a drug distribution charge instead of second-degree murder.
Investigators accuse Brown of driving a car when Anthony Unger was shot and killed on Conley Road in June.
Two others are accused in the murder of Unger. Domionte Cheatum is charged with second-degree murder, first-degree robbery and armed criminal action. Samuel Butler is charged with second-degree murder.


text: First of all I would like to say great program! I've used it at my house and it works awesome. But I'm on campus right now and would like to use it but my PS3 recognizes way too many media servers on the network (due to everyone having Windows Media Player) and I cant find mine on the list. Does anyone have any tips or anything to help me gain access to my PS3 Media Server? Thanks

Oracle VM server for SPARC 2.2 on S11
By Liam Merwick-Oracle on Jun 25, 2012
Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.2 has been released for a little while now. The https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization blog has an overview of all the 2.2 features. Initially, what was released was the SVR4 package for Solaris 10 (which is unbundled and wasn't constrained by any external schedule). On Solaris 11, the 'ldomsmanager' package is built into Solaris (and therefore doesn't need to be downloaded separately) so it is delivered as part of an S11 Support Repository Update (SRU). Some of the features in 2.2 are specific to S11 (SR-IOV and the ability to live migrate between machines with different CPU types) and so there have been many requests to know when are the S11 bits coming.
Solaris 11 SRU8.5 was released on Friday and this includes Oracle VM server for SPARC 2.2 so if you're already running an S11 SRU all you need do is a 'pkg update' to get the 2.2 bits.
If you're still running the original S11 and your 'pkg publisher' output shows the /release repository then you'll need to sign up for the /support repo by getting the appropriate keys and certificates to access the repository (requires a support contract). The 2.2 Admin Guide documents how to do this upgrade on S11
Two S11 articles which have some useful details on upgrading (not just 'ldomsmanager') via the support repositories are:
How to Update Oracle Solaris 11 Systems From Oracle Support Repositories by Glynn Foster
Tips for Updating Your Oracle Solaris 11 System from the Oracle Support Repository by Peter Dennis
In particular, if you'd like to stick with the v2.1 release when upgrading to SRU8.5 or greater, see the 'pkg freeze' section of Peter's article.

N.J. ticket wins $338 million Powerball jackpot
Published: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.

USA, 2013, 96 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subject: Drama
Join us Thursday, April 4th at 7pm at the NEW Alamo Drafthouse-Littleton for a special presentation of the wildly buzzed film that took the Sundance Film Festival by storm this year! All ticket proceeds will go to the Denver Film Society (a 501c3 non-profit film oranization) and we'll be joined after the film (via Skype) with the film's director, Shane Carruth. Ticket includes a complimentary glass of Stark Raving wine and free popcorn from the Drafthouse kitchen.

Digital presentation - A young woman is abducted and seemingly brainwashed via an organic material harvested from a specific orchid. She later meets a man and after the two fall for each other, they come to realize he may also have been subjected to the same process. The two search urgently for a place of safety within each other and struggle to assemble the fragments of their wrecked lives as they are unknowingly drawn into the life cycle of a presence that permeates the microscopic world, moving to nematodes, plant life, livestock, and back again.
