Fifteen miles north of Silverthorne is a 300-acre ranch nestled up against a mountain. To get to it, you turn off of the main road and wind down closer to the mountain, past stands of trees and over a narrow bridge above a creek. Behind the barn, a wide field stretches out, which in summer can be seen dotted with horses and in winter is a long unbroken sheet of white.
This picturesque scene isn't just your typical Colorado ranch, however. It's the home of the Swan Center Outreach, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of animals, particularly horses, llamas, goats and other large farm animals.
Run by Rose and John Longhill, Swan Center Outreach started in Summit County in 2006. The couple arrived in the state in 2002 from Georgia, where they ran the precursor to Swan Center Outreach, called the Swan Center for Intuitive Living, which included an art gallery, a school for spiritual study, a holistic healing clinic and a seminar company. Animals were a large part of the institute, particularly the spiritual school.
"We realized that (when putting) people with animals, they learned more quickly," said John Longhill. "Because there's a real incentive to get it right when you've got a thousand pound animal next to you."
After several years of traveling back and forth between the two states, the Longhills closed down their Georgia center and brought all its animals over to Colorado. The center currently houses 31 horses in addition to various goats, llamas, sheep, a donkey and an alpaca. It also continues to receive animals from all over, including Florida, Georgia, Colorado, North Carolina and Texas.
The horses at Swan Center Outreach come from a variety of abusive backgrounds, with trauma resulting from a lack of knowledge and neglect to sheer brutal violence. The center's specialty is rehabilitating animals that other rescue organizations have deemed lost causes.
"When we adopt them, we adopt them for life," Longhill said. "We get those horses that are considered unadoptable. When we adopt them we just develop trust again and communicate in a way that the horses understand."
One example is Shoshone, who was rescued by a group in Georgia, who found her being whipped bloody by her handlers after refusing to enter a trailer.
"For the first year we had her, she was scared to death of men," said Longhill. "Now she's a little flighty, but she's just the most wonderful, gentle soul."
Longhill says that he has never come across a horse so badly damaged that it cannot be rehabilitated. Then again, he and his wife are experts. Rose is an animal behaviorist with 30 years of experience, while John has worked with horses for 25 years, gaining much through direct contact and experience. The two have also traveled around the U.S. to learn from other horse experts and trainers.
"From each one we took something," John Longhill said. "We were able to develop a training program that really responds to what the horses need, rather than what we need. And it actually works better for us, because then they cooperate so much better and they understand what they're trying to communicate."
Communication is the key, Longhill said, which requires a deep understanding of the mind of the animal. It's also an area that children do well in.
"Your body, your body language and even your voice communicate what you're thinking," Longhill said. "Kids are very open to that. They have an intuitive sense about that anyway."
Now the center is much more than a facility for the rehabilitation of abused animals. It's a place where both children and adults can come to learn more about horses, interact with the animals and find a little healing themselves. The center offers various opportunities for special needs and abused children to come and interact with the animals, as well as a camp program called Leadership with Horses, with segments of one day, three days or five days, teaching children the basics of horse communication, care and riding.
"We go through an animal communication class where they learn really how horses talk," Longhill explained. "They don't speak English, but they do communicate."
The classes teach the children about mental attitude, energy and body language.
"We teach the kids to be aware of their thoughts, because that's what comes out when they communicate. It's a really growing experience for the kids," Longhill said, "But it's amazing. These little kids, 5 and 6 years old, leading around this horse that's 1,800 pounds, and the horse is respecting them, because the child knows how to direct their energy."
It's not just the horses that get all the attention, but the other animals as well. llamas, for instance, which are known for being less inclined to be petted and groomed as horses, have shown strong connections with the center's children.
llamas aren't "touchy feely," Longhill said. "The llamas aren't social, but because the kids love them so much, the llamas just warm up to the kids because they respond to that love and affection."
Longhill has seen the healing effects of the animals firsthand. One instance involved a 9-year-old autistic boy who hadn't spoken for years. He was paired with a horse, Lady, and spent the summer with her - not riding, but cleaning her stall, grooming and spending time with her. Near the end of the summer, his mother heard him shouting from upstairs. She rushed to see what was the matter and her son replied, "I want to ride Lady."
"The horses are really magical," Longhill said. "They really have a way."
Both adult volunteers and young participants follow the rules of the center, which requires training and practice.
"The kids learn how to ride from the ground up," Longhill said. "They learn how to handle the horses properly, and then once they've learned all the groundwork, then they basically earn the right to ride on the horse's back. Because what you do on the horse's back is basically what you do on the ground."
Volunteering isn't just riding around, either. Stalls need to be mucked, hay needs to be thrown, fences need mending - the list of chores goes on. But the power of Swan Center Outreach is that this doesn't seem to bother the volunteers at all. Currently, there are 150 active volunteers, some that come weekly, others that can only spare a few days here and there throughout the year. Even the cold wind that sweeps off the mountain from behind the ranch doesn't seem able to keep tightly bundled volunteers from shuffling around the training ring, hauling hay and shoveling manure.
Through their work, volunteers earn "carrot reward points" which they can later redeem for classes, lessons or trail rides.
Supporting a ranch with more than 30 animals isn't easy and isn't cheap. Swan Center Outreach has various methods of funding, including grants and a silent auction held every few months with the help of the Elks club.
Just about a year ago, volunteers JoAnn and Tim Casey came up with the idea for the Horse Cents Thrift Store. The store, located in Silverthorne, accepts donations of clothes, books, furniture, you name it, to sell, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to Swan Center Outreach. The store is staffed entirely by volunteers.
"We're doing the best we can," said Sally Beerup, a thrift store volunteer. "We have some really good deals."
Beerup, like many of the other volunteers, is passionate about helping animals. She's the president of LAPS, a local organization dedicated to expanding spay/neuter programs in the county and assisting low-income pet owners in need of financial assistance.
One of the main issues the thrift store is dealing with, aside from need for volunteers, is need for space. Not all donations can be displayed in the limited space of the two rooms that make up the store. Plans are in the works to expand to a nearby room to start selling furniture.
Nothing goes to waste, however, as items that there is no space for are given to FIRC for its thrift store in Dillon.
Among the items and bargains at the Horse Cents Thrift Store is a large framed painting, done by a local artist, of Swan Center Outreach. It includes the barn and background, as well as a handful of horses, each of which is identifiable as an individual horse back at the center.
"I love the horses, that's what brought me here, (and) I love the thrift store too," said Beerup, who is a natural bargain-hunter. She also enjoys taking time to chat with the customers who come in, a mix of locals and visiting out-of-towners.
"That's what's fun about this," she said.

ExxonMobil CEO Defends Manmade Global Warming, Says Humans are Able to Adapt

Rex Tillerson, ExxonMobil CEO
He also addressed fears associated with drilling techniques and oil dependency
ExxonMobil's CEO defended oil and gas drilling by saying that
climate change
is something humans can adapt to.
Rex Tillerson, ExxonMobil CEO, said issues like climate change, energy dependence and oil/gas drilling are blown out of proportion. He blames a lazy press, illiterate public and fear-mongering advocacy groups for the bad light placed on the oil industry.
Climate change is a controversial topic that has been subjected to much debate. Tillerson said that fossil fuels may cause global warming, but argued that humans can easily adapt to the warmer climate. More specifically, he said that humans can adapt to rising sea levels and climate changes because he doubts the validity of climate modeling, which predicts the magnitude of impact associated with climate change.
"We have spent our entire existence adapting," said Tillerson. "We'll adapt. It's an engineering problem and there will be an engineering solution."
Others, however, disagree with Tillerson's assessment. Andrew Weaver, chairman of climate modeling and analysis at Canada's University of Victoria, said that adapting to climate change would be much harder than just preventing it in the first place.
In addition, adapting to climate change could be much more expensive than preventing it. According to Steve Coll, author of "Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power," adapting to climate change would require moving entire cities. A better alternative would be legislation that slows the process of global warming.
An example of such a measure is the
proposed fuel standards for 2017-2025
, which will require automakers to create vehicles capable of 54.5 MPG by 2025.
The effort aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the country's dependency on foreign oil.
These standards will cost the auto industry $157.3 billion and
add an extra $2,000
to the sticker price of new autos, but it will save consumers $1.7 trillion at the gas pump.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will finalize the fuel efficiency standards
by the end of July 2012
Such measures could hit ExxonMobil's wallet with less gas used.
Tillerson also addressed the topic of consequences related to oil/gas drilling techniques, saying that drilling will always present possible risks like spills and accidents. But he mentioned that such risks are manageable and worth the end result, which is the energy provided.
Tillerson also said that drilling in shale formations doesn't pose life-threatening risks to those living nearby. However, drilling mixes millions of gallons of water with sand and chemicals that creates drilling wastewater. If this water is not treated, it can contaminate drinking water through cracked drilling pipes.
Tillerson also mentioned his problem with views on oil dependency. He said that there will always be access to oil, and that it doesn't matter where the U.S. gets oil because it is priced globally. Tillerson added that the U.S. only receiving oil from North America would still increase gas prices in the U.S. because it would cause a "disruption" in the Middle East.

Why do big CEOs tend to be such morons and/or sociopaths?
Can't quite decide if this guy has actually bought into his own BS, or if he's smart enough to realize what sort of toxic garbage he's spewing.
1) An engineering problem? Yes, of course treating symptoms is always cheaper and more efficient than preventing the disease in the first place -- such is the latest word from the newfangled discipline of ExxonMobil Engineering...
2) Humans are able to adapt. Great. What about the biosphere on which humans so vitally depend for our survival, never mind well-being? Just how well does the biosphere 'adapt' to dramatic changes that occur near-instantaneously (on geological timescales)? Oh yes, I'm sure we can all "adapt" and "engineer" our way out of the brand-spangled-new Global Mass Extinction, brought to you courtesy of ExxonMobil and pals. No costs associated with that at all, no value to any of that biodiversity and those ecosystem services we're about to devastate with our industrial-scale idiocy...
3) What's this: "humans can adapt to rising sea levels and climate changes because he doubts the validity of climate modeling"?? Is that some incredible new branch of ExxonMobil Logic (TM) that the 'lazy press' and 'illiterate public' just haven't yet been indoctrinated into? Holy brain-hemorrhaging non sequitur, Batman...
4) Yes, let's "doubt the validity of climate modeling", while simultaneously assuming that in reality things will be much better than model estimates -- instead of much worse (which is an equally valid possibility.) Wow, no cognitive bias at all in that there ExxonMobil Objectivity (R)...
5) "fear-mongering advocacy groups" -- is that something like the ExxonMobils of the world who threaten us with Socialism and a return to the Stone Age at every mention of carbon caps? Or perhaps, he means the ExxonMobils of the world who clandestinely fund various astroturf campaigns to impugn the reputations of scientists, research organizations, and entire branches of science?

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Northern New Englanders are digging out following the first major storm of the season that dropped more than a foot of snow across much of the region.
The storm rolled into northern New England on Wednesday night. Snow was expected to stop falling in the overnight hours into Friday morning.
In Vermont, the National Weather Service says the Sugarbush ski resort got 20 inches of snow, while Killington got 15 inches. Many towns in southern and western Maine received a foot or more.
The storm was cheered by skiing and snowmobiling enthusiasts across the region, particularly after the lack of snow and warm temperatures of last winter.

Sage Francis is only 'Human' as he walks tightrope between poetry and rap
By MATT PEIKEN
Sage Francis still remembers the names - nerd rap, hick-hop, backpacker - other hip-hoppers have hurled his way since he first picked up a microphone.
"Art fag was the least offensive term of them all, and poetry is one of the main reasons I get that tag," he says. "A lot of that has to do with how vulnerable you make yourself in your music. When they say keep it real in core hip-hop, they only mean that to a point. When I say it, I mean it by sharing, and spoken word helped me do that."
A decade ago, Francis made his way in and out of Providence, R.I., through independent, underground tunnels, and he was the first hip-hopper signed to the punk/hardcore record label Epitaph. He's also among the first and few who have bridged hip-hop to performance poetry, winning credibility and keeping audiences on both ends.
Poetry dances atop the musical underpinnings of his new CD, Human the Death Dance, and Francis seems motivated to reawaken that corner of his crowd to his music. Toward that end, Francis has invited slam poetry icon Buddy Wakefield to perform along his spring tour.
"I don't feel like I have a very strong spoken word following," Francis says. "I'm involved in it - I'll go to the National Poetry Slam and shake hands, kiss babies and check things out, but I don't feel like the stuff I do has made a big enough mark to (make poetry fans) know my music."
Francis modeled his early raps on the political punch of Chuck D and Public Enemy, but his emergence as a rapper and poet came during the mid-90s, on parallel tracks. Francis was a student at Dean College in Franklin, Mass., when he attended his first spoken word performance, catching Patricia Smith, a popular poet and playwright who was later fired as a Boston Globe columnist for fabricating some of the subjects in her newspaper work.
"She didn't use a mic or anything, just walked through the crowd, bellowing, and it was literally one of the most powerful pieces I've seen to date," he recalls. "At the time, I was only doing HH, but my writing was becoming very involved, very intricate, and I automatically saw a relationship between what she was doing and what I was doing. It just opened up these floodgates for me."
Two years later, Francis says, they were on the same plane to Austin, Tex., to compete in the National Poetry Slam. Francis didn't dabble for long in competitive poetry - he now calls slam "the bane of the spoken word world" - but he credits his experiences for honing his writing and, more important, boosting his confidence he could find an audience for rap with both a personal and political consciousness.
He points to his album Personal Journals and a cut called "Inherited Scars," inspired by his sister, who used to cut herself. That kind of personal story, Francis says, doesn't go over well with typical hip-hop audiences.
"If I go to an open-mic hip-hop event and try to execute these ideas, it's like 'ehh.' People want me to battle or dis somebody," he says. "But here was a vulnerable song and shows a lot of self-doubt, and not only is that not really dealt with in hip-hop, I didn't hear any music dealing with this subject matter. And the feedback I got from that song was crazy, people telling me they were going through the same thing."
Human the Death Dance doesn't seem, on the surface, as an album rooted in the spoken word - musical contributions come from Mark Isham, Jolie Holland and Alias, among others. But Francis insists he wouldn't have his following and future as a rapper if not for the years he spent performing poetry.
"I feel like I cut my teeth in all the right places at all the right times and now I can apply it in all the ways that makes sense," says Francis, who also runs his own record label, Strange Famous Records.
"Spoken word and hip-hop are (equally) important to me in what I do, and I feel like I've melded the two," he says. "It's tough to say what I do is or isn't spoken word or hip-hop, because I can perform this stuff a capella and it works just as well as with a beat. When words can retain just as much punch on their own, that's when you know you're a writer."

Children's Day Fest reset for May 19
Published: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
The annual Children's Day Festival at Jackson Park in Hendersonville has been rescheduled for noon to 6 p.m. May 19 after the event was canceled because of rain on April 28. This was the first time in 14 years that inclement weather caused the cancellation of the celebration.
The event offers activities, games, raffles and prizes. Organizers said the festival also will strengthen relationships within the community by providing information, resources and services along with the activities for children and families, while highlighting Latino cultural dance and food.
The Children's Day Festival received support from the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources, and is administered by the Arts Council of Henderson County.

Jon Land -- bestselling author of "Strong Vengeance," the latest blockbuster in the Caitlin Strong series -- brings an old friend back to life in "Pandora's Temple" (Open Road Media, $16.99, 390 pages). It's been 14 years since Blaine McCracken, Sal Belamo and Johnny Wareagle came to the rescue. That's 14 years without some of the greatest tough-guy writing since Robert B. Parker's "Spenser for Hire."
In the first 20 pages of the new book, I found more than a dozen quotable sections -- scenes you will be delighted to read. Here are two.
Scene 1. McCracken's being interviewed for a mission by Hank Folsom, a semi-slimy, bureaucratic CIA type:
"Because killing came so easy. You still worthy of the nickname 'McCrackenballs'?"
"You want my services or my autograph, Hank?"
Folsom leaned forward. "How many times did they ask you to go after Bin Laden?"
"Not a one."
"That's not what I heard."
"You heard wrong."
Folsom came up just short of a smile. "I heard there was a reason why the SEALs encountered so little resistance. I heard the bodies of eight pretty bad hombres were hauled out after the fact, all dead before the SEALs dropped in. Word is it was you and that big Indian friend of yours."
Scene 2 (edited slightly for space). McCracken and his team confront a Mexican drug lord:
..."You are really threatening me? Here in my home, in front of my men?" His voice gained volume with each syllable. He seemed to be enjoying himself; the challenge, the threat.
"I'm going to let you keep your drugs, against my better judgment, but the four Americans, the college students, they leave with me." ...
"Just like that?" Morales said, the veranda's other occupants stopping their laughter as soon as he stopped his.
"Yup, just like that."
"And what do I get in return for accepting your gracious offer?"
"You get to stay in business." McCracken tapped his watch for Morales to see. "But the clock is ticking."
"Is it?"
"You have one minute." ...
"I have one minute! He roared, laughing so hard now his face turned scarlet and he wheezed trying to find his breath.
"Forty-five seconds now."
Morales jabbed a finger at the air McCracken's way. "I like you amigo. You're a real funny guy." He stopped laughing and finally caught his breath. "After you're dead, I think I'll have you stuffed and mounted on the wall so I always have something to make me smile."
"You won't be smiling in thirty seconds time, Morales, unless you agree to give me the Americans. Tick, tick, tick."
Thirty seconds later the Hellfires hit.
And readers who like grit lit with a military bent have more great choices.
First there's "Tier One Wild," a Delta Force Novel by Dalton Fury (St. Martin's Press, $25.99, 338 pages). When he was a Delta troop commander, Fury helped design the operation to kill Osama Bin Laden. His bestseller, "Kill Bin Laden," covered that mission. His first novel, "Black Site," and his latest one, "Tier One Wild," build on that excellent foundation.
In the new novel, the most wanted man in the world, al Qaeda commander Daoud al-Amriki, and his team infiltrate the USA. Their mission: Use Russian-built, shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles to attack American aircraft.
When a SEAL Team 6 mission to stop Amriki goes wrong, Major Kolt Raynor and his Delta team end up front and center.
"Hunt the Wolf," a Seal Team Six Novel, by Don Mann with Ralph Pezzullo (Mulholland Books, $25.99, 338 pages). Another excellent anti-terrorist thriller comes from Mann, an author who has lived under fire.
"Hunt the Wolf" reads as if written by a guy who'd been shot at too many times to count. Mann spent 30 years with the SEALs as a platoon member, assault team member and advanced training officer. Since retiring from the SEALs, he has deployed to the Middle East on numerous anti-terrorism missions.
Jeez, he's retired, and people are still shooting at him. That must make writing a series of international best sellers look easy.

Would it be possible for you to create packages of your compiled code for x264, ffmpeg (mt), and mencoder using 'checkinstall' and post them here? Either 32-bit or 64-bit - doesn't matter.
I'm at my wits end trying to get 1080p video to transcode fast enough to do it on-the-fly. There's gotta be something that I'm missing but I don't know whether it's my O/S, my machine or the builds of these packages that are causing the problem. As per my previous post, the threads are always bound to a single core (I've verified this) so I'm basically only using half the machine to transcode.
If you have this working as you say then I should be able to use your binaries to get the same result. If I still have problems then at least I know that the problem lies elsewhere.
Thanks in advance.

War and Fashion? Lasell Team Makes the Connection
May 24, 2011
Can war be fashionable? Armed conflict and mainstream fashion may appear to be diametrically opposed, yet military style continues to have significant impact on contemporary attire. Associate Professor of Fashion Jill Carey and a team of Lasell Fashion Merchandising students have created a comprehensive exhibit that illustrates this correlation.
Frontline Fashion: An Exhibit of Material Culture and the Military-opening with a reception to the public on Wednesday, May 25 from 6:30-8:30pm at the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, 154 Moody Street in Waltham-examines the ironic counterpoint between war, fashion and pop culture. Focusing on the Vietnam, Gulf and Iraq Wars, the relationship between military attire and civilian dress --from standard issue khaki pants to pricey Titanium dog tags-is explored in the powerful exhibit.
"The fashion world continues to replicate particular trends in the form of materials, innovations and silhouettes from the United States military," Professor Carey says. "Military and fashion styles have had strong bonds during the course of warfare h history."
Eliza Fitzgerald '11 co-curated Frontline Fashion with Professor Carey and Fashion Merchandising undergraduates Rhonda Jaber, Melissa Kenny, Maria Rogers and Brittany Leone.

Celebrity GPS voices Aug 28 2009
I had no idea you could get celebrity voices for your GPS navigation device. There's Mr. T ("what does he say if you need to go to the airport?"), Yoda, KITT from Knight Rider, Michael Caine, Kim Cattrall, the Star Trek computer voice, Homer Simpson, Gary Busey, and Dennis Hopper.
And then of course you've got the mashups like Mr. T navigates Mr. Bean, Mr. T navigates Frogger, and Mr. T navigating in Mario Kart Wii.
You may even be able to get a Bob Dylan voice soon.

G-N posts a statement win vs. Cromwell
Gilbert-Northwestern football coach Scott Salius has the utmost confidence in his quarterback, senior John Lippincott, so much that he lets Lippincott improvise when necessary.
On two occasions in Thursday's season opener at Cromwell, Lippincott changed the play at the line of scrimmage. Both times, it worked.
"John saw the opening and a gap in the defense, and checked out and took advantage of it with quarterback sneaks," said G-N coach Scott Salius.
Lippincott and sophomore center Joe Colombie have a nonverbal signal to change the play. Colombie took over at center this season for four-year starter and three-time All-Pequot selection Jim Schmitz, who graduated in the spring.
"I have all of the confidence in the world in Joe," said Lippincott. "We formed a lot of chemistry over the summer. I trusted him to make the blocks, and once he did, there was nobody behind him. I was running for daylight and it felt great, especially to go untouched to the end zone."
Senior Tony Ortiz Jr. also had a terrific game, running for TDs of 75 and 64 yards. He also teamed up with Lippincott for an 8-yard TD pass with 3:20 left in the third quarter to break a 27-27 tie.
Ortiz finished with 235 yards on the ground.
"Four minutes into the game, Tony scored after a phenomenal block on the edge by Seth Dayton that sprung him down the right sideline," said Salius. "That got the team pumped up and excited."
Lippincott said the win was a big step forward for the Yellowjackets, who failed to make the playoffs the past two seasons with 7-3 records.
"It was a huge win, but we realize it's only one win and we have got to get ready for Granby next week and keep it rolling," said Lippincott.
Salius felt that the team needed a boost after a lackluster preseason. This win over a perennial Pequot Conference power provided it.
"We didn't have a great preseason, and we needed to get it out of our system. This game gave us a lot of confidence against a very good team and a traditional (playoff-bound) program," said Salius. "This will jump-start our season. There is a weight lifted off our shoulders, and we know we can do this."

I remember when I first saw a Boeing 757: While boarding one in 1983. I was struck by the highly cambered wings; the tall landing gear; the nose, which recalled a Lockheed Constellation; and the pair of big, high-ratio bypass engines, which seemed to produce a gentle hum as opposed to a whine. This was elegance and efficiency in motion mated to a comfortable cabin with plenty of headroom.

The Georgia Tobacco Quit Line started up just two years ago, but is already proving to be a success.
According to Georgia Division of Public Health, tobacco is the number one preventable death, killing more Americans each year than alcohol, car accidents, and AIDS combined.
To help kick their smoking habit, many smokers are turning to the help of phone counseling services.
"They've tried everything, they've tried it on their own because we know that 46 percent of our smokers think they can do it on their own but they really have to have outside help," says Diann McCrae, Tobacco Use Prevention Director.
That outside help really does make a difference. The statewide program provides screening, counseling, and follow-up services for those wanting to quit. Recent reports show that Georgia's Tobacco Quit Line is effective.
Last year, 23-percent of callers stopped using tobacco for seven days. This year that number is up three percent.
The success rate for smokers who quit for a month or more was 21-percent in 2002. This year that number is rising.
"I feel it's an excellent program. I think we made a big difference in the last three years. Our program has been in existence for the last three years and we've just seen changes locally but just based on the data that just came out we know that we're making a difference," McCrae says.
It's not only making a difference, but also making a difference at a better average than the national rate.
It's 13-percent while Georgia's best quit rate is 26-percent.

The Burroughs boys freshman basketball team played its most complete game of the season in beating Granite Hills 48-28 Friday in the Burroughs Barn.
"This was by far our best game of the season," BHS Coach Drew Mabey said. "The great thing about this team is that we keep getting better each game. I can see it in every single player. There is an improvement each and every game we play. Some of the improvements are small and some are larger, but as a team, we are improving, which is really exciting for the program."
The Burros had a season low in turnovers, which Mabey said a big step in the right direction, especially for the freshman group he is coaching now.
"Taking care of the ball is so vital to our success and seeing the lower turnover numbers is a great sign of progression," Mabey said.
Will Christman had a solid night for the Burros in scoring 21 points and grabbing six rebounds. Kyle Felix had nice night with 13 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and five steals, while not turning the ball over himself.
"Kyle didn't have a great shooting night, but really started to attack the rim in the second half and I think that really jump started his night. Driving to the hoop created opportunities for others to score as well," Mabey said.
Brandon Ames had a solid outing with 11 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks.
"After we really started putting an emphasis on getting boards in practice and in games, Brandon has really improved in that area," Mabey said. "Because he's 6'5" and long as a freshmen, he really needs to be getting in double figures in the rebounding department. He has really made some great progress with that."
The Burros freshmen move on to play Silverado at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday in Victorville.

1. My understanding is that the configuration is done via /opt/pms/PMS.conf and not ~/.config/ps3mediaserver.
2. What does UUID in ~/.config/PMS/PMS.conf means?
3. Is there any other config files available like in /etc/default/ or /etc/conf.d
4. Where is the log file saved on Arch Linux? I can't find it in /var/log.
5. I am not able to get PMS to identify media locations. I have tried following syntaxes.
- Code: Select all
folders =/mnt/wd/Movies
folders =/mnt/wd/Movies/
folders = /mnt/wd/Movies
folders = /mnt/wd/Movies/
Is the space after folders and before exact locations required? Does one have to end the exact location with forward-slash / ?

Three charged with meth offenses after raids
Published: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 5:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 5:41 p.m.
Local and federal agents raided two Hendersonville homes Jan. 7 and seized 2.4 pounds of methamphetamine – worth an estimated $108,800 on the street — and two vehicles.
Three people, believed to be in the country illegally, were charged in the raids and are being held without bond.
Investigators with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, the Hendersonville Police Department's Narcotics Task Force and federal agents executed search warrants at 61 Whispering Pines Drive and 58 Dewitt Lane around 6:30 p.m.
"Upon execution of the search warrants, investigators arrested three Mexican nationals," according to Capt. Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
He said that although no meth labs were found, it is common locally to find the drug in the hands of illegal aliens. The meth they've seen most often, Stout added, is not coming from the quick "shake-and-bake labs" that have spawned record busts this year across the state, but from Mexico.
Alejandro Ramirez Juarez, 26, and Elias Gomez Perez, 21, of 58 Dewitt Lane, were arrested at Juarez's home at 61 Whispering Pines Drive. Juarez and Gomez were charged with conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine.
Magdaleno Gomez Hernandez, 25, was arrested at his home on Dewitt Lane. He was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
They are currently incarcerated and awaiting trial.
Stout said the suspects and homes have been under investigation "for quite some time."

Once upon a time, T-shirts were simply underwear, an extra layer of insulation worn under dress shirts or lumberjack plaids.
When they eventually ventured outside -- soloing as a sartorial statement -- it was to tout rock bands, sports teams, the ubiquitous smiley face and the advisability of making love, not war. But lately, we've been seeing a very specific type of tee worn by chefs and foodies, alike, and what they're touting is tripe, lard and other edibles.
We're not talking about Planet Hollywood tees or joke shirts with doughnuts chasing doughnut holes ("You complete me"). We're talking clever, chef-inspired foodie fashion, such as the "Bacon is the new black" T-shirts from Ryan Farr's 4505 Meats in San Francisco, and Prather Ranch's "Praise the Lard" tees, sold at the San Francisco Ferry Building.
In fact, there's now an entire line of casual culinary fashion options available, thanks to a clever Los Angeles-based T-shirt designer who has begun marketing "Acid Trip" shirts -- with a squirt of lemon -- from Chicago chef Rick Tramonto and tees designed for San Francisco's Chris Cosentino and Los Angeles chef Ludo Lefebvre of LudoBites fame. Lefebvre's shirts warn bystanders to keep their hands off his foie gras.
"It's an avenue for more expression," says Dominique Crenn, the chef behind San Francisco's Michelin-starred Atelier Crenn. "Funny but serious, too."
Flavour Gallery was the brainchild of former music manager Alfredo Malatesta, whose high-end, retro AC/DC and ZZ Top shirts helped launch the mock-vintage rock 'n' roll T-shirt trend in the early 2000s. Two years ago, Malatesta and his wife began looking for a new niche.
"We're both passionate about food," the Peruvian-born T-shirt designer says. "Everything revolves around food, from our travels to what we enjoy doing on weekends."
They started thinking about the uniforms worn by artists. A surfer wears trunks or a wet suit when he's practicing his art, Malatesta says, but out of the water "the surfer puts on his Quicksilver, his Billabong, very powerful brands that reflect their identity and passion."
When chefs doff their whites, what do they wear? So they made a few food shirts -- with knives stacked high or "mise en place" splayed across a high-quality, black cotton tee. They gave a nod to Paris' Jazz Age with Le Boeuf sur le Toit -- a favorite of Washington, D.C., chef and former Top Chef-testant Spike Mendelsohn. And they started sending the shirts out, hoping to drum up interest among the biggest foodies of them all, the organizers of the Pebble Beach and South Beach food and wine festivals, and people such as Cosentino -- the "Top Chef Masters" winner, executive chef of San Francisco's Incanto and proponent of all things offal.
It was late 2011, and the food scene was exploding -- there were cooking and food shows on every channel, save for C-SPAN and ESPN. Food blogs were everywhere.
"Americans are having fun finding their identity and culture through food," Malatesta says. "If they get so happy about putting a picture of the taco they're eating on Instagram and Facebook, they'll like this as well."
Now Malatesta does shirts for the James Beard Foundation -- "Such an honor," he says -- as well as the big festivals, and his line of chef-inspired shirts continues to grow. Cosentino's line includes shirts that proclaim the wearer has been "Inspected for wholesome goodness," a retro "Eat tripe for vim and vigor" and others too naughty to describe here.
And Crenn, who first met Malatesta on Twitter, is designing custom aprons for her kitchen staff. Soon it won't just be the crew at Atelier Crenn wearing her signature dark sage green aprons with baby blue stitching -- the aprons and eventually a line of Crenn-inspired shirts will be available for the public, too.
The design, she says, "looks simple, but it's complex, like my food. It's food and fashion."

Roger defeats Gasquet
Roger showed a great performance at the ATP World Tour Finals to secure a 6-4, 6-3 win over Richard Gasquet today.
"Richard has an incredible playing style and is a dangerous shot-maker," Roger said. "There was pressure today after losing my first one. It was a big win for me and I hope now to keep it up against Juan Martin."
Roger started by losing the first six points of the match but went on to score a first break only shortly after that. Gasquet came back to level at 4-4, but Roger managed another break to take a 5-4 lead and then served out the set. Roger had to battle his way through on several occasions in the second set, but still held a clear advantage and eventually converted his sixth match point.
Our champ will play Juan Martin del Potro on Saturday. If del Potro loses his match against Novak Djokovic later today, the match between Roger and the Argentinian would be a direct encounter to decide who can clinch a spot in the semi-finals.
this is the difference between the yesteryears Roger and today's Roger... he plays on momentum, not on full time match...


text: A weekend getaway on the Monterey Peninsula often involves kids and keeping them occupied. A great getaway doesn't always mean big or expensive events, a getaway can be as simple as getting out of the city for awhile and visiting Monterey. Obvious choices are a day on the beach at Del Monte Beach or Lover's Point Cove in Pacific Grove. However, there are alternatives a-plenty. Ask our Front Desk Associates about places to purchase a sumptuous picnic lunch and make a day of it at Lake El Estero right by Old Monterey. There, you can rent paddle boats or kayaks and spend the day on the lake. Another use for that picnic lunch would be to visit the playground at Dennis-the-Menace Park—also by Lake El Estero—where there are picnic benches, grills and a large play area for the younger set complete with swings, jungle gym and other play-inspiring toys. Afterward, finish off the day with dinner at the kid-friendly Bubba-Gump seafood restaurant in Cannery Row. Return that night to a comfortable room at our hotel with accommodations for the whole family. Maybe just relax and watch a movie on our new Flat Screen TVs, or relax at the Poolside or if you want to get some exercise use our fitness room. In the morning, enjoy our complimentary hot served daily 7am to 10am.
