For about a year and a half, Dr. Fernando Gonzales-Ramos made quarterly trips from his home in El Paso, Texas, to a rundown building in Logan, W.Va.
There, for hefty fees, Gonzales-Ramos wrote prescriptions for controlled substances. It took an FBI informant just three minutes and $450 to obtain a prescription for the painkiller hydrocodone.
On Tuesday in federal court at Charleston, Gonzales-Ramos pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance without a legitimate medical purpose.
That is statutory language for running a pill mill. They can be found throughout the United States; West Virginia appears to have more than our fair share of them.
Gonzales-Ramos was no more than a drug pusher - right down to the pistol-carrying bodyguard who came with him to the Mountain State - with a license to practice medicine. Yet he will await sentencing on Aug. 14 in the knowledge he will be spending less than six years in prison, at most.
That's right: The maximum sentence for Gonzales-Ramos' crime is 71 months.
Drug abuse is a deadly epidemic in West Virginia. It is claiming and ruining lives at a terrible rate. Yet Gonzales-Ramos and people like him who are caught can be put behind bars for less time than it takes many people to earn a bachelor's degree.
That needs to change. Congress should rethink - and stiffen - drug sentencing laws.

Hello, I always use Google as my home page, and even though I know they change the design according to the day, etc., it just doesn't look quite right to me. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it looks almost a bit fuzzy. It doesn't look that way when I go to work and use it on my work desktop. I'm not sure if this could be a virus? All my anti-virus software is up to date, and no other sites look this way. Thanks.

About the Book
"The Best of Everything is one of the best things you'll put on your shopping list this week." <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
—<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Tennessee Tribune
Readers who just can't get enough of the Reverend Curtis Black—the charming con man and insufferable womanizer who stars in Sin No More, The Best-Kept Secret, and other acclaimed, bestselling novels by Kimberla Lawson Roby—are going to love his daughter, Alicia. In the New York Times bestseller The Best of Everything, Alicia Black takes center stage while the rascally pastor stands on the sidelines, and Roby triumphs once again. The Best of Everything, is provocative entertainment—a treat for fans of Terry McMillian, E. Lynn Harris, and Eric Jerome Dickey—because when it comes to outrageous behavior, "like father, like daughter" definitely applies.
Alicia Black Sullivan swore to never repeat the mistakes of her father, the Reverend Curtis Black: she would never tell lies, she would never break any promises. And most important of all, when she got married, it would be for good.
Alicia really does love her husband, Phillip, the assistant pastor of her father's church. She just happens to love money—and the things it can buy—as well. Alicia was born to the good life, she's entitled to the best, and she'll do anything to get it. Even if it means piling up thousands of dollars in debt. Even if it means denying to everyone—even herself—that her love of shopping has gotten way out of control. Even if, deep down, she knows a whopper of an emotional bill is coming due. And all the regrets in the world won't change the fact that she may be more like her infamous father than she could have imagined—or feared.

3.9-33 Strict Liability of One Who Keeps a
Revised to January 1, 2008
Anyone who owns or keeps a
dog is held strictly liable under our law for any damage caused by
the dog, irrespective of whether the owner or keeper was negligent
in controlling the dog. The statute is General Statutes § 22-357,
and the relevant portions of the statute state:
"If any dog does any
damage to either the body or property of any person, the owner or
keeper . . . shall be liable for such damage, except when such
damage has been occasioned to the body or property of a person who,
at the time such damage was sustained, was committing a trespass or
other tort, or was teasing, tormenting or abusing such dog."
A "keeper" of a dog means
someone other than the owner who harbors or has possession of any
The statute creates two
exceptions to this rule of "strict liability." The first is that
the statute exempts from liability the owner or keeper whose dog
does damage to a person who was committing a "trespass or other
tort." The word "tort" means a wrongful act. "Committing a
trespass or other tort" means more than merely entering on the
property or in the area where the dog was, but rather entering to
commit an injury or a wrongful act. This means such wrongful acts
committed against the person or property of the owner or keeper or
(his/her) family, or similar wrongful acts, against which the dog,
with its characteristic loyalty, would take defensive or protective
action, or those, if committed against the dog, as would likely
excite it to use its natural weapons of defense.
The second exception
applies if you find that plaintiff was "teasing, tormenting, or
abusing" the dog. Teasing, tormenting or abusing a dog means
engaging in actions that would naturally annoy or irritate a dog and
provoke it to retaliation. Such actions are those of such a nature
as would naturally antagonize the dog and cause it to attack and
which are improper in the sense that they are without justification.1
Playing with the dog in a friendly manner does not fall within the
definition of "teasing, tormenting, or abusing" the dog.2
So the elements that the
plaintiff must prove are 1) that the defendants were the owners or
keepers of a dog, 2) that the dog did, in the language of the
statute, "any damage to . . . the body or property" of the
plaintiff, and 3) that neither of the exceptions applies.
Kowal v. Archibald, 148 Conn. 125, 128-30 (1961).
Weingartner v. Bielak, 142 Conn. 516, 520 (1955).
There should usually be
a charge on the issue of proximate cause to establish a nexus
between the actions of the dog and the injury of which the plaintiff
N.B. For a child under
seven years of age at the time the damage was done, the statute
creates a presumption that the child was not committing a trespass
or other tort or teasing, tormenting or abusing the dog, so that the
burden of establishing any such conduct is on the defendant. See
General Statutes § 22-357.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- The Dragon has been tamed, and it's almost at the International Space Station.
The commercial cargo ship owned by the SpaceX company quickly closed in on the orbiting lab early Sunday morning. Station astronauts will use a hefty robot arm to grab it out of orbit. The capsule is loaded with more than 1 ton of supplies.
SpaceX launched the Dragon into orbit Friday and quickly ran into trouble. A clogged pressure line or stuck valve kept the thrusters, or little maneuvering rockets, from working. Flight controllers finally got the thrusters up and managed to salvage the supply mission.
The Dragon's arrival is just one day late.
NASA is paying Calif-based SpaceX $1.6 billion for a series of supply runs. This is the third Dragon to visit the manned outpost.

The thoughts of Silverthorne Elementary third-graders weren't on elections last week, but on the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Each week, the third-graders are in the habit of coming up with and embracing random acts of kindness. Previously, they have decorated bookmarks to give out to other students at the school, and written letters to send to the maternity ward at the hospital.
Last week, however, the third-graders looked beyond their community to the hardships of the East Coast. For their act of kindness they created "Deeds for Dollars," asking parents, friends and neighbors to pledge one dollar in return for chores done.
The idea took off and the money came in. Soon, the "Deeds for Dollars" spread to the entire school. Three hundred dollars has been raised for the Red Cross so far, with the deadline to turn in money extended to Friday.
Third-graders shared the chores they had done - washing dishes, making the bed, cleaning up. One girl brought in $10 of her own allowance; another contributed money from the Tooth Fairy. All the students expressed their desire for the hurricane victims to be able to return to their normal lives soon. The third-graders also sent letters to other schoolchildren on the East Coast who have been displaced by the storm.
The random acts of kindness are thought up by the students, not the teachers.
"They have a lot of ideas," said Liz McFarland, a third-grade teacher at S'thorne Elementary.
The students brainstorm ideas, and the classes get together to vote on which one will be adopted for the week. Future kindness acts will focus on improvements within the school and the community.
The students clearly enjoy the kindness project. As one third-grader said, "It makes your heart grow much bigger."

'The Good Wife' 'Season 5, Episode 5, 'Hitting the Fan': TV Recap
This is the episode we've been warned about – the one when everything goes crazy crazy on "The Good Wife."
A particularly observant commenter last week pointed out that when Diane told Will that Alicia was leaving the firm, Diane used the words "she's taking OUR top clients."
Does that mean Diane is going to stay? She's the one that figured it all out. Will looks so hurt. It's like the worst break-up ever. He goes to confront Alicia.
She says it's time she tries something new. Will loses it, throws everything off her desk and reminds her that she was poison and he took a chance on her.
Will tells her she's fired and she needs to get out right now. And he is trying to take her cell phone. Alicia says she's a partner and he needs a vote of the full board to get rid of her. Everyone votes to boot Alicia.
Then Will zooms around firing all the associates. Cary goes to his office where Diane gives him the same talk – that she got Cary hired and stood up for him. Diane says she was his mentor and he should have come to her. Cary blurbs that he's taking ChumHum. Ugggh, he is the worst lawyer and blabbermouth.
When Alicia is officially removed, she tells Will it was never meant personally. Then she steps into the elevator and cries.
Kalinda pretends to Will like she had no idea Alicia was leaving. Will asks if he can trust Kalinda, she says yes. Then Kalinda goes to Cary and says she wants to join their new crew. Then she goes back to Will. I can't tell whose side she's on.
Now Will wants to make sure they are keeping all their lawyers. He says to tell everyone there were financial irregularities with Alicia's accounts. What a jerk.
The new crew is meeting at the coffee house. That one associate who screwed everyone over last week with the joke video is still complaining about bonuses. I would fire him already.
David Lee gets the new firm's office closed for two months for fumigation.
Diane shows up to the governor's office wanting to know if all this crazy is going to impact her judgeship. Eli says of course not but we know better. (And isn't Alan Cumming one of the best things about The Good Wife?)
Diane should have thought of that snafu before.
They all go to court to deal with a restraining order so that the new firm can talk to ChumHum.
Alicia starts schmoozing up the judges who got burned in Will's scandal. She gets a restraining order on Will now so they can't talk to ChumHum either.
Peter shows up at his home and is so turned on by Alicia's power move that they get it on, super fast style.
Diane shows up. They agree to both meet with ChumHum and whomever wins, wins. Diane and Will won, because they convinced the boss that Alicia will be dodging her husband's ethical issues all the time. Then it goes back to Alicia/Cary because the governor threatens to tax internet companies. Too much too fast! What is going on!
Will is having a drink and nursing his hurt feelings with Kalinda. She tells Will she can help destroy the competition.
Suddenly, the governor says he wants to think about supreme court justices who might not be Diane.
Next week: The changes keep on coming. So what do you think? Will the new firm succeed?

STOCKTON - Tiara Tucker scored 42 points and Brookside Christian forced 43 turnovers, rolling to a 110-24 win over Modesto-Central Catholic in the second round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V playoffs on Thursday.
The defending state champion and top-seeded Knights will play No. 4 Ripon Christian in the semifinals Wednesday at Galt High with the time to be announced.
"Getting those turnovers was very important to us," Knights coach Que Ngo said. "We knew Tiara could score and she had a great night, and our defense was outstanding, especially Breanna Grisby. She was all over the place and she attacked the basket as well."
Brookside Christian (24-4) had 35 steals, with Grisby collecting nine. The No. 8 Raiders (17-8) managed only four points in the first quarter and just one in the fourth.
"We have a strong press," Grisby said. "We all get into it and we are all on the same page. We work on it a lot, switching between the half-court trap and the full-court press."
Tucker appeared to score at will and could have had more points, but she moved the ball around to help three teammates reach double figures.
"Our game plan really came through," Tucker said. "We started with the full-court press, then went to a half-court trap and then back to the full-court, and without our intensity and energy we would not have got this far."
Tucker flirted with a triple-double with seven rebounds and six steals, and Grisby added 16 points. Raky'ra Gabriel scored 19 points and had seven rebounds, five steals and two blocks. Lauren Rabena scored 10 points, and Ariana Vaughn made seven steals.
Katelyn Mitchell led Central Catholic with 14 points.

ASPEN - The man who was instrumental in expanding one of the renowned backcountry ski-hut systems surrounding Aspen was honored Thursday with completion of a new hut that bears his nickname.
About 40 people turned out to celebrate the christening of Opa's Taylor Hut, named after the late Aspenite Fred Braun. The Alfred A. Braun Hut System south of Aspen is named after him, but there was never an individual hut in his honor.
Braun emigrated to America from Germany in 1928 and moved to Aspen in the early 1950s. He operated the Holiday House ski lodge and earned a reputation as a skilled alpinist and promoter of the mountain lifestyle. Braun was a popular guy who was known as Opa, German for Grandpa, by his family and friends.
He founded what evolved into Mountain Rescue Aspen and, in 1967, took over a growing hut system in the high country south of Aspen. He expanded the system by building many of the huts himself, with the help of his family and volunteers.
"He did it because he loved it so much," said his daughter, Sigrid Stapleton.
"They were pretty funky," she later said of the original huts. "He'd say (the new hut) was too fancy."
Opa's new hut is stunning. It's tucked into a granite-lined niche at 12,000 feet. While standing on the expansive deck facing due south, it only takes a subtle turn to see it from Grizzly Peak east of Aspen to Taylor Peak, which looms to the hut's west. Jagged peaks are planted everywhere between.
The hut is about 6.5 miles southeast of Ashcroft and about 1.5 miles southeast of the summit of Taylor Pass. It's roughly half way between the Friends Hut and the Goodwin-Green Hut.
"When I look at the system, I think of this as the center of the web," said Hawk Greenway, longtime manager of the Alfred A. Braun Hut System. Opa's Taylor Hut is located within 4.5 to six miles of five other huts in the system, so it will be integrated into multiday trips, he said.
Like all huts in the Braun system, Opa's won't be for the casual backcountry traveler. Nearly all the routes to Braun huts cross big avalanche paths. The huts also can be difficult to find. There are no trail signs.
Opa's hut is burrowed into a granite outcropping. It's invisible from the northwest until travelers are upon it. The most direct route during the summer, via Express Creek Road and another forest route from the summit of Taylor Pass, most definitely isn't a route backcountry skiers will want to take because of avalanche danger, said Greenway and David Swersky, a member of the hut system's board of directors.
Al Beyer, whose firm designed the hut, said the site was picked to minimize the impact. The foundation was anchored into granite to avoid excavation, he said. The exterior of the 850-square-foot hut is dominated by interesting roof lines and thick wooden beams. Windows naturally dominate the south side to maximize sun exposure and views. It is a one-story structure with lower-level storage.
The hut sleeps eight with three bedrooms capable of accommodating two each and room for two in the living room. The interior has an efficient design that concentrates the three dominant functions of a hut - cooking, hanging out at a dining-room table and sitting area, and crowding around a wood stove to warm up and dry out clothing. The stove isn't shoved against a wall. Instead, it's accessible from all sides and easily warms the 20-by-20-foot main room.
"I'll be surprised if a cord of wood is used in a year," Beyer said. Solar panels supply power for the lights.
Beyer and his team of architects also handled the design for the other huts in the system, which were replaced with bright, warm and efficient structures.
"All the huts are just gorgeous," Stapleton said.
Construction of Opa's hut presented challenges even though the summer was milder and drier than usual. Nothing is easy to build at 12,000 feet. Beyer and Braun system officials praised the work of Rutgers Construction, of Aspen, owned by Tony Rutgers. The closest a road comes to the site is about one-half mile, so tools and materials had to be hauled in by hand. Construction materials were hauled by truck about halfway up Express Creek Road and then flown in by DBS Helicopters, of Rifle. There were about 300 chopper trips over 3 1/2 days, Rutgers said.
Lucas Franze, a lead carpenter on the crew, said they worked through daylight hours Monday through Thursday. The work stretched over about 18 weeks.
Craig Ward, president of the Braun system's board of directors, said the hard cost of planning and building the hut was about $475,000. Without discounts in labor, services and materials, the cost would have exceeded $600,000, he said.
The Braun system, a nonprofit organization, covered most of the cost by selling two Aspen-area mining claims donated to the organization by the Anthony Mollica family. Swersky said the organization came about $100,000 short of covering the costs. It also wants to establish an endowment to cover maintenance. The board wants the people who have enjoyed the Braun system huts over the years to feel ownership of the new hut and to help cover the remaining costs. Any donation of any size helps, Swersky said.
Donations can be made to Alfred A. Braun Hut System, P.O. Box 7937, Aspen, CO 81612. Hawk Greenway will field any questions about the hut and fundraising at 970-920-7859.
The marketing and reservations for Opa's hut, like all in the Braun system, will be handled by the 10th Mountain Division Hut Association, which manages 34 huts that it owns or manages. Reservations for Opa's will be accepted starting Nov. 15 for dates after Dec. 15. There will be a flat fee of $200 for the hut.
Ward said Opa's will make a perfect addition to the Braun system.
"All the values we hold and all the principles we have are due to the Fred Braun family," he said.

Intel Steps Up to Embrace New Compact Servers
Intel makes a lot of money from selling chips, but few markets are as lucrative as processors for server systems. The company on Tuesday announced its latest move to turn a potential threat to that franchise into an opportunity.
The issue is the rise of what the industry calls "micro servers," powered by inexpensive, power-sipping processors that were originally targeted at cellphones rather than machines running in computer rooms. Such machines are a response to the fact that electricity bills, and space, are more pressing issues in many data centers than performance.
Many companies are talking about the hardware trend–particularly ARM Holdings and companies that use its chip designs, which are the norm in many mobile devices.
Intel, as widely expected, unveiled a new product targeted specifically at micro servers that is based on the Atom chip line–which was first sold in portable PCs called netbooks line and is now also targeted at smartphones. It draws just six watts of power, compared to 17 watts for the most power-efficient model of its Xeon server chip line. The company said 20 products already are being designed using the new "system on a chip," the Atom S1200.
The company asserts that Intel will have a series of advantages over ARM entrants. Not least of which is the fact that its products are based on the x86 design that is the foundation of most existing server software. In addition, the Atom chip has support for other features server users like, including a 64-bit capability that allows chips to exploit more memory.
But Intel, of course, is quick to make the case that micro servers using Atoms are good for some chores but not others, so its more widely used Xeon chips will remain just as popular as they have ever been.
"Whatever the workload is, it will run best on Intel architecture," said Diane Bryant, the Intel vice president who runs its server chip business, at a briefing in San Francisco.
There are financial implications for which servers customers choose, of course. The new Atom product line starts at $54 each; there are Xeon models that range from several hundred dollars to more than $4,000.
But Ms. Bryant made the case that typical micro server deployments can be a very good business for Intel, too. A refrigerator-sized server rack packed with 560 of the new Atom processors would yield about $35,800 in revenue to Intel, the company says. A similar rack would fit about a fifth as many Xeon chips, while amount to $32,900 in revenue to Intel.
Which chores are best for the Atom? Imagine, Ms. Bryant suggested, a small business that uses a company to host its website, but doesn't get much traffic. An Atom-powered micro server would work fine for that. But another company that gets a lot of transactions through their website might need the Xeon, she said.
One person with a different perspective on the issue is Andrew Feldman, who helped pioneer the micro server market as CEO of SeaMicro, which was purchased by Intel rival AMD. His operation still sells systems using both Intel Atom and Xeon chips, and plans to add models with AMD server chips as well as ARM processors.
Feldman scoffs at recent Intel suggestions that the company was an active early proponent of micro servers. "It's simply untrue," he said. "We encountered rather significant pushback when we set out to build Atom-based servers."
He added: "To their credit, they learned. They realized how important this market is."
Feldman is betting, however, that ARM-based servers also will play an important role in the micro server market. One reason is that, in his view, Intel is limiting the potential reach of Atom-based servers by restricting the amount of memory they can address, which ARM will not do.
Another is that he expects ARM will remain lower in power consumption than Intel, despite the latter's improvements in that area–just as the lower-performance ARM parts have far outsold Intel for smartphones and tablets. "We know what direction that went," he said.

Topic: Thank you!!
I wanted to take a second to thank everyone for this wonderful site! I really appreciate all of the responses and information. However, I do admit, I feel this disease has kind of consumed me and I spend entirely too much time on this computer reading about this disease, treatment options and basically just looking for answers.
Thank you for all the support and information!

Democrats in Iowa, Arkansas Hold Their Own, Polls Find
Despite political winds blowing against Democrats, new polls show the party's Senate candidates holding their own in key races in Iowa and Arkansas.
A Suffolk University poll in Iowa shows Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley ahead of a leading candidate in the crowded field of Republican candidates, retired businessman Mark Jacobs, by a 37%-31% margin. Mr. Braley led state Sen. Joni Ernst, Mr Jacobs' principal competitor for the GOP nomination, by a 38%-30% margin, according to the poll released Wednesday.
That is in line with the average of recent polls tallied by Real Clear Politics, but is the first poll the website has tracked showing Mr. Braley dropping below 40%. Republicans have been trying to tarnish Mr. Braley over the last month by publicizing a video in which he appeared to scoff at farmers, a vital constituency in the Hawkeye State, while speaking at a fundraiser.
Many Democrats across the country have been struggling in recent months because of President Barack Obama's depressed approval ratings and problems in the rollout of his signature health-care law.
In Arkansas, where Mr. Obama and the health law are especially unpopular, a Talk Business-Hendrix College Poll released this week found that embattled Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor held a 46%-43% lead over his GOP opponent, Rep. Tom Cotton. That is within the poll's margin of error, but it is the first time since October that Real Clear Politics has reported a poll showing Mr. Pryor even nominally in the lead.
Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said that in Iowa and Arkansas, Republican candidates have more "room to grow" their support among voters because they are still becoming known in their states. Mr. Cotton is less well-known than Mr. Pryor, and Republicans in Iowa will gain more traction after the state's June 3 primary, Mr. Dayspring said.
But Democrats welcomed signs that Mr. Pryor and other Democratic candidates were holding their own in spite of a deluge of attack ads by outside conservative groups and financiers.
"It's clear that Republican Senate candidates across the country are paying a price for their reckless and irresponsible embrace of a special interest agenda that's good for billionaires like the Koch Brothers and bad for middle-class families in their states," said Justin Barasky, spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
The Suffolk University poll also tested the strength of would-be 2016 presidential candidates in Iowa, which holds the nation's first nominating caucuses. Among Democrats, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the far-away leader, cited as first choice by 63% of self-described Democratic caucus-goers, followed by 12% who chose Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D, Mass.) and 10% who chose Vice President Joe Biden.
Among the large field of potential GOP candidates, support was spread wide and thin: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was the first choice of 11%, and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush followed with 10% each.

We start the night at the fans' camp where Shamar is yelling, screaming and lecturing everyone. Dude has anger issues. He's yelling at anyone who opens his or her mouth, even if they open it to agree with him. He seems to be lining up to be the next snuffee, but because it's only 45 seconds into the episode, it's a bit early for that prediction.
As dawn breaks, Team Attractive is coming to the realization that it is in trouble. Reynold and Eddie see they, along with Hope, are in the minority, and unless Shamar starts hacking people with the machete, one of them will likely be voted off next.
And speaking of Shamar, Sherri tries to get him to hold onto his temper, but he gets mad about that and wonders whether he really wants to stay in the game.
Let's move on to Camp Favorite, where the returning players should be happy and carefree, having avoided tribal council, but they seem a little dazed and groggy. Everyone except Phillip, of course, who tells us that he's 54 but he has brilliant physical moves and even though he plays basketball with guys twice his height (seriously?), they are in awe of his Larry Bird, Magic Johnson moves and think he must play pro ball. Delusional much, Phillip? Why yes, he is.
Meanwhile, Corrine and Malcolm pair up and go in search of the hidden immunity idol, which they find easily. Corrine seems to think "they" have the idol; Malcolm is under the impression that it's his. We're sure this will be discussed more, but for now, they are both thrilled and relieved to have an advantage no one knows about it.
Oh good, Phillip has a magical seat where he sits with a basket on his head. The air swirls around and does something to the brain.
Andrea doesn't need a thinking cap to notice that Corrine and Malcolm seem to be close. Andrea wants to get rid of Corrine and break that up. She goes to Phillip and Brandon (aka the Honey Badger) and talks to them. Both agree to join the anti-Corrine alliance, but Badger Boy later says if they turn on him, he will burn the camp down. And we believe him.
Over at the Fans camp, Shamar confesses to his tribe that his happiness is worth more than $1 million, and he doesn't want to be the angry black man. He says that when he came back from Iraq, he had a hard time. He became an alcoholic, had anger issues and people were afraid to be around him -- kind of like now. He doesn't want to go back to that dark place, so he's going to quit and get his happiness back.
Sherri tries hard to talk him into staying. If he quits and they lose the next challenge, she says, they will have to vote someone else off and then they will be two people down against the Favorites. Reynold, however, is drooling at the prospect of getting rid of Shamar. But sorry Reynold, that dream is not going to happen. Shamar says because Sherri and others have been loyal to him, he will be loyal right back. He'll stay for a few days more.
Reynold is sickened. He thinks Shamar was faking his desire to quit, and that by agreeing to stay he has made himself look heroic.
Immunity challenge
Today's challenge involves racing out to a cage in the water. They have to retrieve a heavy chest from the cage by untying knots that hold the cage door close. They must then drag the chest to shore and onto a series of sliding tracks. There are missing pieces of the track that must be hooked and dragged into place. First to complete the challenge wins immunity and reward, which is a pair of deck chairs, blankets and pillows.
Favorites win again in what we admit was a pretty exciting challenge. Fans head back to camp where Reynold tries to talk things out about what happened, and of course that irritates Shamar. Then there is a big argument over goggles.
Laura and Sherri decide that the vote should be three votes Hope and three votes Eddie to flush out the idol. Shamar has his own plan. He likes Hope, so he'd rather see Eddie or Reynold go. He sort of tells her the plan, and Hope tells Julia, who tells the others.
Laura is freaked out and she goes to Reynold and says she can get Julia to join with her, Reynold, Eddie and Hope to vote out Shamar. Our heads are spinning.
Tribal council
With the tribe seated around the campfire, Jeff Probst asks Reynold if there was fallout from the last council and he says Shamar was yelling at everyone. Shamar says everyone is out to get him and he's a scapegoat. Reynold says he's not allowed to speak to Shamar anymore. Eddie apparently is on the "no-talk" list, too.
The discussion turns to Shamar's anger and how everyone, except Sherri, doesn't understand him.
With the psychoanalysis over for the evening, the tribe votes. And shockingly, there is a three-way tie with Shamar, Hope and Eddie all getting three votes each, and triggering another vote. In this round, Eddie, Shamar and Hope aren't allowed to vote, and their tribe can vote only for one of them.
In a shocker -- at least to us -- Hope is sent packing. Shamar lives to yell some more and the hidden immunity idol still is in Reynold's pocket.
Next time: Hurricanes, rats and angry players.

Work study increase nearly offsets tuition hike
February 16, 2005
If students work on campus at Lindenwood University, the school's first tuition increase in four years will cost them only $100 per semester.
The university has issued a hefty increase in work study compensation—from $6 an hour to $8 an hour, or $600 annually. Students will now be paid $2,400 for 10 hours work a week over two semesters.
"We want everyone to have a good work ethic," said President Dennis Spellmann. "Not only is it a core value here, but it will help students in placement when they graduate."
The pay increase covers much of Lindenwood's 7.1 percent tuition increase for full-time graduate and undergraduate students, effective with the fall 2005 semester.
"We are still the best value around," said Spellmann. "Our cost is about half of most other private colleges and universities. Even our parking fee remains steady—at $1 a semester. Who can top that?"
Tuition for full-time students increases by $800 to $12,000 annually. The 7.1 percent increase also applies to room and board, which increases by $400 to $6,000 annually.
"This is the first tuition increase in four years for most of our students," said Spellmann. "The quality, cost and convenience at Lindenwood are hard to beat. It's why we're the fastest-growing college or university in Missouri."
Adult students studying in the accelerated LCIE program will see a 6 percent increase, with undergraduate tuition going to $265 credit hour, and graduate tuition going to $330 per credit hour.

Fight fans eager to see CM Punk in his UFC debut will have to wait a little longer; it was announced that the former WWE superstar will be undergoing surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back. The 37-year-old, formerly known by real name Phil Brooks, was slated to face off with 24-year-old Mickey Gall in his first octagon matchup, but it appears that will not be the case at present. Ultimate Fighting Championship action heads to Pittsburgh and the Consol Energy Center on 2/21 and tickets are on sale today! You can get in with seats starting at $69 apiece, but you'd better hurry—supplies are limited and they're going fast!
2/5/16 - Artem Lobov made his long-awaited UFC debut in December, taking on Ryan Hall in the finale of Ultimate Fighter 22. The disappointing loss did not discourage the young Dublin native, however, who is now focused on his upcoming bout with Alex White on Saturday evening. Lobov, better known for his striking prowess than his ground game, got caught up in a grappling-style matchup in his first UFC outing, resulting not only in a loss but a "boring" fight in his own words. He's looking forward to a whole different experience when he steps into the octagon to tangle with White at the MGM Grand. Tickets are still available if you act now—get in for $79 and up!
1/29/16 - Jose Aldo has lost just two fights in his professional career, and after losing his UFC 145-pound title to instant-superstar Conor McGregor, the 29-year-old's hungry to get back on top. He has demanded a shot at a championship, including a potential rematch with McGregor, who KO'd Also in just 13 seconds at UFC 194 in December. Conor is scheduled to take on Rafael dos Anjos in the upcoming UFC 196 event on Mar. 5 in Vegas, as he seeks to become the first-ever champion of two different weight classes. Will an Aldo rematch be next on the docket for him? Holly Holm will also make her first title defense against Miesha Tate—get your UFC 196 tickets for $339 and up!
1/8/16 - Conor McGregor could become just the second UFC fighter ever to hold simultaneous titles in two different weight classes. Many speculated that he would have to give up the featherweight title in order to pursue the lightweight belt, but Dana White, UFC president, has allowed McGregor the chance to shoot for the dual titles despite being somewhat hesitant at first. McGregor is definitely a competitor you'll want to keep your eyes on in the coming months as he pursues this huge accomplishment. UFC Championship fights continue this month with a round at Boston's TD Gardens on Jan. 17. Tickets can be purchased from us today for only $74 and up.
2015 Season
9/11/15 - It is no secret that you have to be physically indomitable to make a living in the UFC, but that doesn't mean you have to be a tough guy emotionally. In fact, former heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia left the league for that very reason. While many fans would love to see Sylvia back in the Octagon, he won't be back any time soon. He recently stated that he left professional fighting without notice in 2008 because he was extremely bitter about Brock Lesnar's salary as the new guy in fighting. He was earning three times was Sylvia was and officials seemingly wouldn't let the reigning heavyweight champion achieve the same level of fame, saying that president Dana White continues to hold a grudge against him.
9/4/15 - It is not too late for you to get your tickets to the UFC 191. The much anticipated event is just a couple days away, so this is your last chance. Still, you could be in the stands on September for as little as $62. Johnson will taking on Dodson in an event you will not want to miss. Of course, the excitement for the evening does not stop there. As many as 11 fights are scheduled for that night, so it is sure to be filled with non-stop action. If you are unable to make it, the UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship is right around the corner, kicking off on October 3rd. Tickets for that event are also still available, starting off at just $62.
8/28/15 - There are just a few more days until September and that means that the next installment of Ultimate Fighting Championship is just around the corner. The next event is the UFC 191, which takes place over Labor Day weekend on Saturday, September 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Tickets are currently available at several different price points, with some starting at as little as $77. This is a great opportunity to catch what is set to be one of the most epic clashes in recent league history, Johnson vs. Dodson. In fact, many have called for a live stream of the fight because they are anticipating it to be a brutal showdown. Don't miss a second of the action when it goes down next Saturday.
6/26/15 - Another huge UFC fight is on the brink of occurring and fighters and fans alike are getting pumped up to see all of the action. On June 27, Lyoto Machida and Yoel Romero touch fists to see who will be the victor for the UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship. Machida is up on Romero in the rankings by two slots, but that doesn't mean that Romero doesn't have a chance. Romero has an excellent record, approximately 89 percent, for knock outs and total knock outs compared to Machida's 41 percent. This fight will be one of the best since Pacquiao and Mayweather earlier this spring. Don't miss your chance to catch all of the fight live at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL. Tickets are still available starting at $80 a piece.
1/16/15 - Join the UFC fans at TD Garden in Boston for a night of UFC mixed martial arts fighting. The big fight that is getting a lot of attention is between Conor McGregor and Dennis Silver, but there's other great matchups that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Donald Cerrone is returning to the cage for a bout against Benson Henderson. John Howard and Lorenz Larkin go at it, and so do Charles Rosa and Sean Soriano. Razorgator still has great seats available for the meet. It starts at 6:00 pm on Sunday (1/18). If you need a break from football, get your tickets at prices starting at only $42. With seven great fights, you'll have a great evening of excitement watching some excellent athletes who fight hard.
2014 Season
7/25/14 – If you want to witness one of the best MMA fights of the year, now would be the time to buy your UFC tickets. This Saturday, Robbie Lawler and Matt Brown are headlining a bout guaranteed by officials to be up for the Fight of the Year. UFC Fight Night tickets are still available, and you can get-in at the SAP Center in San Jose for as low as $26. That's a small price to pay to see a match that UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin doesn't even want to call. Even still, tomorrow's battle is just the start of what is going to be a stacked close to the 2014 UFC season.
UFC 178 will pit Conor McGregor against Dustin Poirier in a must-see non-title fight; after all, the Irishman McGregor predicts he'll be featherweight champ by the end of the year. Headlining UFC 178 is Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier; the undefeated Olympic wrestler despises Jones, but can he contend with this future Hall of Famer? UFC 180 will sweep Mexico off its feet when Cain Velasquez defends his parents' birthplace against veteran Werdum. Ronda Rousey, arguably the sport's biggest star, is slated opposite Gina Carano this year, but the fight has yet to be booked. Another star-studded match is confirmed, however: buy UFC 181 tickets and witness Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort. The undefeated middleweight champ took MMA by storm when he downed Anderson Silva twice last year. "The Phenom" won't make it easy on his opponent, as Belfort is hoping to become the third fighter in history to win a belt in two classes. Score UFC tickets to actually be at the championship fights that everyone will be talking about.
5/28/14 - On June 7, Ben Henderson (21-3-0), will headline against challenger, Rustam Khabilov (17-1-0) for the first set of UFC Fight Nights this summer. Henderson recently lost his lightweight belt to Anthony Pettis in UFC 164, see him in his shot for redemption with 2014 UFC tickets. Both fighters are known for their ground attacks, so this should be a very good fight that will go the distance in Albuquerque. The UFC Championship 174 will get underway a week later in Vancouver (6/14), featuring current champion Demetrious Johnson opposite Ali Bagautinov in the UFC Flyweight matchup. This is followed by UFC Fight Night on 5/28 and the UFC Championship 175 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino (6/5). The Middleweight competition will be headlined by current champ Chris Weidman, challenged by former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Lyoto Machida. The fighting will peak on July 6 with the Ultimate Fighter Finale 19: a mix of middleweight and lightweight contenders distributed between Team Frankie Edgar and Team BJ Penn at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Get your UFC tickets here on Razorgator for the best prices to the best bouts this summer!
The most expensive Ultimate Fighting Championship tickets this year were UFC 160 tickets averaging $1006 to watch Velasquez vs. Bigfoot 2.
UFC 162 tickets
brought in more than $4.8 million of revenue with an average ticket price of $735 to see Chris Weidman take the middleweight title away from Anderson Silva. Both fights took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC 168 tickets
are expected to reach an all-time high in price due to the fact that the event is the most anticipated rematch in MMA history. Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman II is set for December 28 at the coveted MGM Grand Hotel Garden Arena in Vegas. Silva is the odds-on favorite despite "The Spiders" loss to Weidman at UFC 162. Weidman will look to prove that his second round TKO to upset perhaps the greatest MMA fighter in the sport's history was no fluke. Silva would like to reclaim his UFC middleweight title, one he had held for almost seven years.
To give you a good idea of just how high in demand
UFC 160 & 162 tickets
were, consider this: UFC on Fox Sports 1 tickets at TD Garden average $190, UFC on Fox Sports 2 tickets at Bankers Life Fieldhouse average $235, UFC 164 tickets at Bradley Center average $293, and UFC 165 tickets at Air Canada Centre average $323 on the resale market.

In the midst of a four-game road trip, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team heads to San Antonio for a matchup with Southland newcomer Incarnate Word on Thursday night. It will be the first regular-season meeting between the Islanders and Cardinals.
• With 20 points against New Orleans, John Jordan moved into the school's career top-10 in points. The junior is now in the career top 10 in points, assists, rebounds and steals in Islanders history.
• The Islanders held Lamar to just 35 points on Saturday, the fewest points against the team in school history. It is the first time in Islanders lore that the team has not surrendered a three-pointer.
• During conference season, the Islanders have posted 36 double-digit scoring efforts across eight players.
• Sophomore Brandon Pye is selective in his shots, but is incredibly efficient. The Mansfield, Texas, native leads the conference with a .500 (24-for-48) shooting percentage beyond the arc.
• Zane Knowles tied a career-high with four blocks against Lamar. He is 10th in school history with his 42 blocked shots.
• Freshman Jeff Beverly busted out of a slump with 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting at SHSU. He followed that up with 11 at Lamar for his second and third games in double digits in league play.
The Islanders and Cardinals will be meeting on the hardwood for the first time in the regular season, but the squads played preseason contests on multiple occasions. UIW knocked off Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in 2011 and 2012 and the Islanders needed a buzzer beater to topple the Cardinals in 2010.
The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team allowed the fewest points in school history, posting a 58-35 win over Lamar on Saturday in the Montagne Center. The Islanders improved to 7-3 in conference play with the victory.
Jeff Beverly led three players in double figures for the Islanders with 11 points, while Jake Kocher and Rashawn Thomas each had 10 points and seven rebounds. Zane Knowles snared seven rebounds and posted four blocks, as the Islanders outrebounded the Cardinals 42-20. Donovan Ross led Lamar with 11 points, as the Cardinals netted just 11 points before halftime.
The Islanders have prided themselves on their defense all season, but the performance against Lamar goes down as one of the finest in school history. The Cardinals scored 35 points, which marked the fewest by the team in the shot-clock era. Lamar scored 11 points before halftime, shooting 4-for-28, which marked the second fewest in LU history and the lowest by the Cardinals since the 1958 season.
The 35 points allowed were the fewest surrendered by an Islanders team in program history, and in fact marked the first time A&M-Corpus Christi has ever held an opponent under 40. The previous low was 42 points against Texas State on Nov. 18, 2007. However, the 11 points allowed in the first half were not a new record for the Islanders. A&M-Corpus Christi surrendered just seven points before halftime to Savannah State on Dec. 29, 2005, but the Tigers went on to score 38 in the second half. In that opening stanza, SSU went 2-for-23, while Lamar logged a 4-for-28 half on Saturday night.
John Jordan is only a junior for the Islanders basketball team, but he's the most experienced player on the roster and one of the front-runners for Southland Conference Player of the Year. The Houston native was named Preseason First Team All-Southland Conference by the league's coaches.
He leads the team and is eighth in the league with his 15.3 points per game, while his 4.8 assists are second. Despite his 5-foot-10 frame, he has also pulled in 4.6 boards per game. He has posted 20 points or more on seven occasions, five assists or more 12 times and at least five rebounds in 12 games this year.
But the Oral Roberts contest showed he may be at his best when not being the go-to scorer. He had just seven points, but dished out six assists and commanded the offense to the signature victory of the Willis Wilson era.
Jordan's place in Islanders lore is also reaching new heights. With his 20 points against New Orleans, he moved into the school's top 10 in points. He is also already in the Islanders career top-10 in rebounds, assists, minutes and steals. He is on pace to become the ninth player in school history to score 1,000 points in his career later this season. He needs to average 12.0 points the rest of the way to pass that milestone.
Jordan has done much of his scoring by getting to the free-throw line. On the year, he has gotten to the stripe 10+ times on 10 occasions and has hit at least 10 at the line five times. He is 144-for-206 on free throws this year, both of those numbers leading the Southland. His 144 makes are already fifth in school history and his 129 against Division I teams are 19th nationally.
Jordan broke the school record with 138 assists as a freshman, then bested his own mark with 159 as a sophomore. With 402 career assists, he is second in school history and closing on Brian Evans' 493.
The Islanders' 7-3 start in league play can be attributed to a more efficient offense that is seeing a total team effort. In the 10 league games, the team has seen a total of 36 double-digit scoring efforts distributed over eight different players. (See chart on page 4 for more information.)
John Jordan is the only player with eight games in double figures, while Rashawn Thomas has six. Jake Kocher (6) and Zane Knowles (4) have both hit 10 points on more than four occasions, while Brandon Pye, Joy Williamson and Jeff Beverly have done so three times. Hameed Ali has two games in double digits. Six players are averaging at least 7.2 points per game on the season.
Against Northwestern State, A&M-Corpus Christi put six players in double figures, led by John Jordan's 22. It marked the first time that the team has had six players finish with 10 points or more since Nov. 16, 2006, the season opener of the team's Southland Championship season.
Contrast that to last year in league play, when John Jordan and Will Nelson combined to average 28.4 points – 46.6 percent of the Islanders' offensive production. This year, Jordan and Rashawn Thomas are combining for 25.8, but that is just 35.0 percent of the offense.
The Islanders have seen an improvement on the offensive end with the advent of conference play. A&M-Corpus Christi has topped 70 points in eight of its 10 conference contests and is currently fifth in the league with an average of 73.8 in league play. The Islanders are ninth overall with 68.8 points per game on the year. Those numbers were significantly harmed by the 58 points Saturday at Lamar.
Part of the offensive improvement can be attributed to efficiency. The Islanders are shooting .484 from the field in conference play, up from .430 in non-conference affairs.
In addition to the other newcomers, the Islanders have a welcome face back in the fold that was missing last season. Redshirt sophomore Jake Kocher, who sat out 2012-13 after double hip labrum surgery, was back in the lineup in the season opener.
His return to the court was a triumphant one, as Kocher poured in 10 points to go along with a career-high six rebounds and four steals against HTU. In the UTSA contest, he played 25 minutes, totaling 11 points, four rebounds and four steals. He went through a prolonged cold stretch in December, though.
The start of conference play saw Kocher bust out of his slump, going 4-for-7 from the floor for 14 points at UCA, nabbing eight rebounds and posting a career-high five steals. It marked the first five-steal game for the Islanders since Garland Judkins had five swipes against Central Arkansas in 2011.
Over the last five conference affairs, he has finished in double figures four times and is averaging 10.0 points to go with 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 steals.
He has seen a knack for steals, fast-break points and three-point plays as of late. At Nicholls he had 13 points – 10 in the paint – including a pair of three-point plays after notching steals. He scored a career-high 15 against Southeastern, earning two three-point play opportunities and scoring all six of the Islanders' fast-break points. And against New Orleans he had a career-best six steals – one off Kevin Palmer's school record. He is third in the league with 2.1 steals per game in Southland play.
In 2011-12, Kocher did most of his damage down the stretch, including a career-high 15 points in the season's penultimate game at UT Arlington. He is the city of Austin's all-time leading scorer from his days at St. Michael's Academy.
The Islanders have done an impressive job taking care of the basketball since conference play started, averaging 11.7 turnovers and only turning the ball over more than 10 times on three occasions. In the last four games, John Jordan's numbers in this area have been spectacular, with 26 assists to just four turnovers. The Islanders as a team have had more turnovers than their opponents just three times in conference play.
With a 7-3 conference record, the Islanders are off to their best start in league play since starting 7-3 in the 2009-10 season. In the championship season of 2006-07, the Islanders started 11-1 en route to a 14-2 league mark.
On the road, the Islanders lost their first contest in conference affairs at Sam Houston State. It is the first time A&M-Corpus Christi has begun 5-1 on the road since 2006-07. That team started 6-0 away from Corpus Christi and went 7-1 on the season.

DOE Releases Report On Innovative, Next-Generation Wind Turbine Drivetrains
December 22, 2010
The Department of Energy's Wind and Water Power Program today released a report on the key findings of its Advanced Wind Turbine Drivetrain Workshop, held on June 29-30, 2010 in Broomfield, Colorado. The workshop convened technical experts from the wind industry, national laboratories, universities, and technology developers to assess the potential for different advanced drivetrain technologies to improve the state-of-the-art in wind turbine drivetrains. The workshop report describes the benefits and commercialization challenges facing four major categories of drivetrain technologies: superconducting drivetrains; advanced permanent magnet generators; continuously variable transmissions and fluid drive systems; and innovative and non-traditional drivetrain concepts.
The drivetrain of a wind turbine converts the low-speed, high-torque rotation of the turbine's rotor (blades and hub assembly) into electrical energy. Current drivetrain designs can include some of the heaviest, most expensive components of a wind turbine, and drivetrain equipment failures can lead to expensive repairs, turbine downtime, and higher risk premiums. The next-generation drivetrain designs described in the report have the potential to lower the cost of wind energy by radically improving the reliability, performance, and capital cost of wind turbines.

Kevin Hart wants to change the idea that there are "black" movies.
"I think that's where the Kevin Hart Effect comes in," the 33-year-old actor/comedian says, laughing. "I feel like, right now, my audience is very much on both sides."
On one hand, "The support I get from black people is amazing," something he says has been true since his early days as a stand-up comedian. "But once the crossover effects happens and other people are aware of you, (success) becomes about great material."
Hart was in San Francisco promoting his latest film, "Think Like a Man Too," the sequel to the 2012 surprise hit "Think Like a Man." Unlike so many of his characters -- loud and armed to the teeth with quips and comebacks -- Hart is surprisingly engaging, warm and even serious when it comes to his career and how his movies are perceived.
Crossover hit
Hart says "Think Like a Man Too" -- in which he reprises his role as the impulsive Cedric, who this time around has been tapped to be best man at a Las Vegas wedding -- wouldn't have been made if white audiences weren't starting to go to films with mostly black casts.
"You never hear people say, 'That's a white movie," Hart says, leaning forward to make his point. "You don't hear it. Right now, I think what's important to us is getting rid of the term 'black movie.' The best way to do it is to continue to make good movies that have so much success at the box office."
And that's what has happened over the past couple of years, he says.
"You look at '12 Years a Slave,' you look at 'The Best Man Holiday,' you look at 'Think Like a Man,' you look at 'About Last Night,' which I was in. You look at 'Ride Along' (in which Hart co-starred with Ice Cube). I mean, these are movies that are killing."
It's a funny coincidence that Hart appeared in the television show "Workaholics" two years ago. The term pretty much sums up his career since. So far this year, Hart has already starred in "Ride Along" and "About Last Night," as well as his current release. According to IMDb.com, he has no less than seven other projects in the works, extending into 2016, including "Finally Famous" (with Chris Rock), "Get Hard" (with Will Ferrell) and "Ride Along 2."
"Who works real hard and busts their (rear) their entire life and gets to the point of success to then take it easy?" says the divorced father of two. "That doesn't make sense to me. I put blood, sweat and tears to get to a point to be successful, and now that I am, the goal is to exceed the goals that I've already set for myself."
Hart was born in Philadelphia and was a shoe salesman when he started doing stand-up. In the early 2000s he alternated between doing TV and bit parts in films like "Along Came Polly," "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Little Fockers." While he definitely made a name for himself in stand-up, his film career was slow but steady.
"Think Like a Man" helped establish Hart in bigger roles. Now he refuses to acknowledge his career has any kind of ceiling. He talks about doing what's right for his "brand."
"The way to do that is to keep pushing -- to outdo yourself," Hart says. "I'm giving my fans great content. I'm growing at the same time. The goal is to eventually become a mogul in the realm of entertainment. You see people like Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey and Jay Z, you know, people who have done groundbreaking things. ... I don't understand why I wouldn't want to take the same approach."
Big impression
He got some firsthand motivation working with Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone and Alan Arkin in 2013's "Grudge Match." Though the film didn't score well with critics or audiences, Hart still speaks with a bit of awe in his voice at the experience.
"You have no idea. I laughed to myself during takes so many times, thinking, 'This is Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro,' " Hart says. "At what point did I get here? If you would've told me (years ago), 'You're gonna be working with these guys,' I would've been like, 'Yeah ... what?' I'm with these two legendary, hall of fame actors. It's mind-blowing. And Alan Arkin. Those guys treated me amazingly, like they welcomed me in and said so much positive stuff about me and where I could go and what I could do. It's amazing. It just (puts) a different kind of battery in my back."
Is the battery powerful enough to take Hart over oceans? He says he wants to find out.
"The next step for me is international," Hart says. "I want to break that water. I want to go over there and have my movies promoted over there the same way as anywhere else, but you have to prove to studios that you can be marketed to everyone."
Thanks to the Kevin Hart Effect, that might be inevitable.

hello i have a Eva 2000
and would like some help for configuring the ps3 server
first i would say don't buy this shit because it s sell as an 720p hdtv media player but it can't play 720p it s just a big joke
it can only play 720p (1280x720) in mpeg2 with maximum 30fps and 8mbits seriously this can't be good good quality that bitrate is used for dvd
for hd 720p it must be higher than 12mbits to have someting good
but anyway it's the only way
for h264 its limited to level 3.0 1.5mbps (720x576) 25fps (720x400 30fps) fhat s olso a big joke can't play a 2mbits/s file
for divx 3mbits 720x576 30fps but i tested 1 file with divx5 in 1200x672 25fps 4megabits it plays with no lag
most of my mkv file's wont play (especialiy them with 25fps and aac)
so the best way is to transcode all to mpeg2
so i would like that ps3 server
limit the resolution to 1280*720
limit the bandwith to 8megabit (this is done and works)
dowgrade 1080i/p to 720p
downgrade 50/60fps to 25/30
force retranscoding to mpeg2 (done, by force transcoding folow extention: mkv,ts,mp4 )
i uncheked default setting in Mencoder setting (because it didin't play when file come with aac sound and 25fps in mkv)
and i added this lines :
(container == avi || container == matroska) && vcodec == mpeg4 && acodec == mp3 :: -mc 0.1 (what is this line ?)
framerate == 23.976 :: -speed 1.042709376 -ofps 25
vcodec == mpeg2 && srtfile == null :: -ovc copy -nosync
segond problem is that even if transcoded for mkv is forced, i can't play file what have more than 720p 8mega
player say's can play with that bitrate / can't play with that high resolution but why ? if it s transcoded to mpeg2 with limited bitrate to 8
the player chek the original file ? so can we do something to say to the player that the file is max 720p in mpeg2 with 8mega ?
i cheked deinterlace filter but with my interlaced mpeg2 files the results look bad
olso i need to add ~~ -200ms audio delay
i goning to update this because i probably forgot a lot of thinks
thanks for them ho can help
i did not try yet but
720*400 vob look better than a transcoded 1280*720 mkv to mpeg2 1280*720 8mega
so my quastion is it not beter to play someting like 960* with 14meg bitrate ? or it can't be beter because of lossing pixels
i use keyint=1:vqscale=1:vqmin=1 on an athlon 620 (4x 3.1ghz) my athlon4200 was to slow for it for 720 and deinterlace filter cheked (does this olso affect video what are alredy progressive ?)

CORPUS CHRISTI – The student-athletes at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi had a tremendous fall semester in the classroom. The nearly 250 Islanders had a collective GPA of 2.97 and possessed a cumulative GPA of 2.95 through Fall 2013.
"While intercollegiate athletics is often graded based on wins and losses from an external point of view, the true mission of our intercollegiate athletics department is to see our student-athletes achieve success in the classroom and live successful lives after they graduate from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi," Director of Athletics Scott Lazenby said. "The results from the fall semester are outstanding and I'm so proud of our student-athletes, coaches and staff that have worked so hard for this achievement."
The Islanders saw 21 student-athletes post a perfect 4.0 GPA, and a total of 139 garnered a GPA of 3.0 or better. That number represents 59 percent of the Islanders student-athlete population.
"To have more than half of our student-athletes find themselves on the honor roll in the fall semester is so impressive," Lazenby said. "Within every athletics department, there are always strong student-athletes, but to have this level of success across the board shows commitment to the Islanders Way from both our student-athletes and those who help them thrive in the classroom."
Seven of the 13 teams (indoor and outdoor track are counted together in this situation) posted GPAs over 3.0, with another three above 2.90. Women's tennis topped the list with a 3.38 GPA as a unit, while women's golf was just behind with a 3.28. The women's soccer team, in its first semester of existence, posted a 3.20 GPA, a particularly impressive accomplishment during its playing season.
Eighteen women's soccer players led a list of 46 student-athletes named to the Southland Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll for the fall semester. Only those student-athletes competing in soccer, cross country and volleyball were eligible for the award.

He should just jack a bunch of beats and rap his ass off on a mixtape. Or he could just keep doing what he's doing and sell millions upon millions of records.

An Aiken murder investigation now spans the country.
Local officers are in on the search for the man they say killed his own mother.
57-year old Craig Baldwin, last seen in Lexington, Kentucky, is wanted for murdering his mother, 83-year old Dale Baldwin.
All appears to be normal on York Street, but look a little closer and you'll see something's wrong...
Newspapers in the driveway and police tape on the door.
"That worries me a bit because I may have gone right by," says Louise Stribling. She and her husband George live close to where police say Dale Baldwin was murdered by her son.
They say Baldwin wrapped her dead body in a sheet and left her to rot in the front yard.
Ms. Baldwin's body was wedged between the house and some bushes. Investigators cut through a pile of debris to reach her.
Police think Baldwin killed his mother around June 16, a week before the body was found.
"Utter shock on my street, you know, three houses away," Louise says.
Based on evidence, Sgt. David Turno and the Office of Public Safety cemented an arrest warrant for Craig Baldwin. Baldwin was last seen at his daughter's wedding in Lexington, Kentucky June 24, just one day after his mother's body was found.
"We have nationally put him in our database for all law enforcement agencies nationwide to be on the lookout for this gentleman and the vehicle that he is driving," says Sgt. Turno.
That vehicle is a blue 2002 Toyota Camry with South Carolina license plate number W66040.
Officials hope a description of it as well as the picture of Baldwin will be enough to track him down.
"The authorities there, as well as the media outlets in Lexington are aware that we have warrants for him and we are looking for him," Sgt. Turno says.
The search has an Aiken neighborhood unusually quiet...and a home on the corner the center of an intense investigation.
Officials are still waiting for Ms. Baldwin's autopsy results. They have not yet determined the cause of her death. That has been tricky because her body was so badly decomposed.
Investigators believe that Baldwin embezzled funds from a bank account belonging to his mother shortly before her death.
The United States Marshals Service is offering a $5,000 reward for any information that would lead to the arrest of Craig Bogert Baldwin.
Baldwin is described as a white male, 5'10", 160 pounds with gray hair and hazel eyes. He is believed to be driving a 2002 light blue Toyota Camry with South Carolina registration W66040.
In announcing the reward, United States Marshal Johnny Mack Brown said, "At this point, Baldwin's behavior is unpredictable. We urge anyone with information regarding Baldwin to call us immediately."
Anyone with information about Baldwin should call the United States Marshals Service at 803-765-5477 or 843-662-0750 or the Aiken Department of Public Safety at 803-642-7620.

Wood pilings jutting out of mounds of snow are the only signs that something is unusual about the stretch of land just past the Breckenridge ice rink on Boreas Pass Road. Check a text and you'll miss it.
In 2006, however, runoff from the abandoned Iron Springs Mill turned the Blue River bright orange. The event killed fish and elevated levels of toxic minerals in the water, including zinc, iron, arsenic, lead and aluminum.
On Friday morning, a large crowd gathered at the now-infamous site to listen to U.S. Sen. Mark Udall tout new federal regulations that remove the legal hurdles that have prevented concerned citizens from restoring orphaned mines that pose a significant threat to the environment.
Udall acknowledged that Colorado, particularly Summit County, owes much of its prosperity to the mining boom that began in the late 19th century. However, a lasting legacy of that industry, he said, is the 7,000 abandoned mining operations that now threaten the state's current economic engine - outdoor recreation.
In December, Udall and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency unveiled a new policy that allows private groups and individuals to clean mine sites. Now, they're getting the word out by touring communities in Colorado that can benefit from the new policy.
"In addition to the physical hazards of dilapidated structures and open mine shafts, the toxic soup of heavy metals, like arsenic, lead and mercury, coming from some of these sites flows into our watersheds, impairing drinking water and killing aquatic and plant life for miles downstream," the senator said in a written statement.
Cleaning up mining messes after they've already polluted area streams is futile - like putting toothpaste back in the tube. Proactive remediation, environmental officials say, is the only way to address the problem. However, before the EPA's Good Samaritan policy went into effect, groups looking to remediate orphan mines faced prohibitive legal liabilities that could potentially saddle them with overwhelming financial obligations.
Now, mine cleaners take on no liability or responsibility for the pollution at abandoned hard-rock mines.
Jim Martin, an EPA official present at Friday's press conference, said the new rules can be credited to a joint effort from Udall and environmental groups such as Trout Unlimited, the Animas River Stakeholders Group and the Willow Creek Reclamation Committee. He said that spirit of cooperation will be necessary for the work ahead.
"We're really reaching out to potential Good Samaritans to work with us to go out and find a spot and get some work done," Martin said.
Summit County Commissioner Dan Gibbs, who spoke at Udall's press conference, said that there are numerous abandoned mines through the area in need of remediation.
"The mining operations here are a historic draw," he said. "However, some of this legacy is really negative."
To be successful, he said the clean-up efforts will require the involvement - both in financial support and sweat equity - of area governments, environmental groups and individuals.

Overall SET I: Very good playing. Really good energy. Flow disrupted a little too much by 'Instant Karma!' and 'Rhymes'. First set ended with me feeling optimistic, as Trey seemed to be getting into it and Page was on!
Set II was a great set. Many people seem to get down on tunes they cant jump around to. Personally, I enjoy songs with space and that make one listen. Back On The Train, Bug, and Pebbles and Marbles were great. The highlight of the show was Rock and Roll > Mango. This will be a highlight of the tour when all is said and done. Awesome! Not a big fan of Meatstick, but people seem to enjoy it. Halley's was par for course. Antelope was great!
Anyway, some shows are more than just the setlist or even what you 'hear' on the SBD. This show had good energy. The band played some rhythmic hits as the crowd chanted, "Let's Go Bruins." I thought this was the best 3.0 they've played at GW so far (which is not too hard to do). I recommend this show for download.

Topic: Interesting quote
Hi all,
I saw this a few months ago on a traveling cancer art show that was at the practice office where my personal physician works. Unfortunately it wasn't signed so I can't credit anyone.
I thought it was interesting and copied it into my palm pilot. I was going through some memos today and came across it and decided to share:
"The way you encounter life is the way you encounter cancer. The illness will not change your personality nor will you become another person, but you are offered the chance of putting a different order into the priorities of your life."
I'm not entirely sure I agree with the part about your personality not changing, but I do tend to agree with the rest.
"A prognosis is simply an audit of how truly precious each day is. Live each day to the maximum, celebrate what was, and what is - Don't spend your life looking forward to what will or might be." .... words of wisdom from my beloved son on hearing of his grandmother's CC prognosis.
