Captain's Report by Capt. Steve
Regulator's 34 SS is a full 33'10" (10.3 m) without including the Armstrong engine bracket. Regulator is closely aligned with Yamaha and as such the only power option is a pair of Yamaha 350 four-strokes.
Is Starboard Seating the New Norm?
Probably not, but what is normal in any boat? If using the whole boat were a requirement for fishing then the entire sportfish market would be out of business. While it's nice to picture how many bikini-clad models may fit up forward, the reality is this is where your family and friends will gather as you show off your pride and joy with a leisurely cruise, and where the guys will hang out on the way offshore. For that reason, we'd like to see a sizable hi-lo table up forward, but none is offered in the standard or options list.
While the arrangement added only a single seat, albeit a comfortable one, to the forward deck, the real benefit of this layout is the "entertainment center", which consists of a sink and two deep drawers. The sink has a lid that we'd like to see incorporate a cutting surface. The livewell, bait sink, and cutting board are built into the tackle station at the aft side of the leaning post.
Here's a layout that you don't get to see very often in a center console. An "entertainment center" lies to starboard of the console. The maximum beam is ahead of the console.
Because the engines are mounted on an Armstrong bracket, the LOA only includes the hull. And since the bracket is not an option, it's properly installed during the build process. Notice the 24-degree deadrise at the transom.
The heart and soul of the Regulator 34 SS' strength and integrity is this fiberglass grid/stringer system. Once it's placed in the hull it's chemically bonded to the hull for a permanent marriage. Notice the 380 gal (1438.5L) fuel tank is mounted forward to balance the weight. That weight also adds to the outstanding wave penetration that Regulators are renowned for.
As each hull moves through the factory, the individual customer's special orders (taped to the hull side) are added.
Notice how the bilge is completely finished off in gel coat. Interior fittings are bronze, exterior are stainless. All fittings are double clamped and hoses are supported according to ABYC standards.
No worries about getting your catch aboard, no matter the size. Notice how the cleats are below the gunwale with a hawsehole in the caprail to keep fishing lines from snagging.
The folding rear seat is a standard, both with Regulator and aboard CCs in this class. The padded cockpit bolster wraps around the whole boat. Notice the size of the two deck drains.
The deluxe livewell/leaning post. An upgraded version features a seatback rocket launcher, sink, bait well, cup holders, knife block, and tackle drawers and trays with leader spool holders (add $4,795).
The panel is large enough for two 12" (30.48 cm) displays. We love the grab handles to the sides of the console but would like to see the compass centered in the driver's line of sight rather than centered on the panel. Note how the Yamaha gauges make for an uncluttered helm.
Cabin Class
Now here's a feature that we think should be on all larger center consoles... living space. Why so many others choose not to incorporate this is a mystery. Inside the center console is a refrigerator, microwave oven (both optional, add $2,095), and sleeping accommodations for two. Some may argue that sleeping accommodations aren't necessary on a CC (or SS) but a husband/wife team can spend the night at an anchorage or island hideaway adding to the utility of the boat. In addition, overnight fishing trips are now possible, and yes it's close quarters, but guys have camped overnight together on hunting trips in tents that offer less space than this.
But there's always a downside, and in this case, there's a pull-out shower wand. That may be problematic with electrical appliances, and a berth, in spray range with no curtain. We'd opt for saving the showering for the deck. You'll likely be offshore with no one watching anyway.
Here is the interior of the console with the optional cruising package (refrigerator and microwave). You could shower here, with the pull-out sink faucet, but with no curtain, we wouldn't recommend it.
There's space under the forward deck for two to sleep comfortably. The space even includes reading lights, and there's enough room to sit up, chaise style.
Regulator includes a long list of standard features on the 34 SS including 7' (2.1 m) rod storage under the forward starboard seating, 6' (1.8 m) port side insulated cooler box/rod storage, a 31 gallon (117.3 L) freshwater system, an 85 gallon (321.7 L) transom fish box plus four stainless rod holders.
The wrap-around seating accommodates 12. You have to remove the cushions to open the storage compartments. Check out the head rests in front of the console. This beats the cooler with a cushion we usually see. Also notice how Regulator recesses the bow rails to prevent snagging your lines.
Seven foot (2.13 m) rod holders to starboard, 6' (1.83 m) to port, and both compartments serve as self draining fish boxes, but drain into the bilge, not overboard. Close all and you have a large casting platform.
An 85 gallon (321.7 L) transom fish box has an option for a chill plate for refrigeration (add $1,595).
Starboard tackle center with rigging sink, cup holders and forward storage tray. With fiddles around the lid, this would make a great place to prepare snacks. Why not add a 12v refrigerator underneath?
Optional Must-Haves
For some options I'd seriously consider, there's the fiberglass T-top (add $15,695) with bases for Lee 16' (4.88 m) telescoping (add $1,795) or 18' telescoping (5.49 m) (add $1,595) sidewinder outriggers, a refrigerated transom fishbox, and an upgraded leaning post tackle center (add $4,795). Since showering in the console is problematic, I'd definitely opt for the transom shower unit (add $595). The helm panel is ready to accommodate electronics, so why not order them installed from the factory. Regulator offers a Raymarine package consisting of a single E120 multifunction display, an RS125 GPS, a Ray 55 VHF radio, the B260 50/200 transducer, and an 8' VHF antenna (add $9,795). Since the helm is to port and the seat is double wide, you may as well have your buddy lend a hand in the navigation so I'd go for the second E120 display as well (add $6,995). Since my runs will be all offshore, I'd need the Raymarine 4-kW 24" HD Radar (add $3,995). These options will add a total of $42,870 to the price of the base boat.
Optional Might-Wants
So much for the must-haves, now let's get to the stuff you might want and why you'd want them. The first thing I'd do is change the hull color. White has been done to death and if there's an option, I'm all over it. In this case, you have seven choices: Flag Blue, Carolina Blue, Blue Tone White, Aqua Mist, Fighting Lady Yellow, Regulator Red, or Stars & Stripes (add $3,395) and if you're going to change the hull color, then change the bracket color while you're at it (add $1,395) as well as the T-top undersides (add $695). I'm certainly not going to leave the helm exposed to the weather, and dockside ne'er-do-wells, so let's cover up the console (add $1,095) and the wrap-around seats (add $1,195). Since a lot of my fishing is around the rocks of the middle grounds, I'll need to anchor. Besides, if the family comes aboard, or if I decide to show off my prized Regulator (and who wouldn't?) then anchoring is a must, and therefore accommodating the ground tackle is also a must. Regulator offers two choices: a fiberglass pulpit with windlass (add $4,295) or an anchor roller and windlass (add $3,195). If your docking skills are not what you'd like them to be, or if you dock in a tricky slip, then consider the bow thruster (add $11,195). All of these will add another $10,970 to the base boat.
So that means that you'll get the base boat with twin Yamaha 350's for a base price of $252,995. Add $42,870 for stuff you need, and another $10,970 for stuff you want, and all said, you'll be looking at a totally tricked out Regulator 34 SS for $306,835... not too shabby at all.
So let the battle rage on about whether side seating or walk-around capability is the way to go. In the meantime, we'll gladly spend the day fishing the middle-grounds on the Regulator 34 SS.

Yarn Profile: Alice Starmore Hebridean 3 Ply
First Impressions
I can spend hours there browsing through dozens of stunningly complex and beautiful patterns. After I settle on a design, then comes the fun part: choosing a color. Page after page after page of color choices unfold before me, each with a magical name and story behind it.
When I'm done, whatever cloud was bothering me has disappeared. With a mix of sadness and gratitude, I close my browser window and get back to my life.
A few weeks ago, however, I closed the deal and purchased one such kit. What I received in the mail was so magical that I had to write about it here.
Virtual Yarns is an online store and Web site owned by the renowned knitwear designer Alice Starmore. Her intricate colorwork and complex textures are so memorable that her earlier out-of-print books routinely sell on eBay for over $200.
Virtual Yarns represents a collaboration between Starmore and her younger daughter Jade, both of whom work from their studio in the Hebridean village of Gress, on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. They make their patterns available as complete kits. Some have predetermined colorways, others let you choose the colors. And if you're overwhelmed by all the color options, you can email them for pairing recommendations.
Patterns are not available except in kit form, but you can purchase yarn by the skein if you're not yet ready to commit to a full Starmore project. Shipping is free—even for U.S. customers—on orders over £12.
I chose Valtos, a cropped, textured pattern by Jade featuring the Hebridean 3 Ply yarn. My order was lovingly packed in tissue paper and reached me safely within two weeks.
Knitting Up
The yarn's woollen three-ply spin was perfectly applied to a body of lofty, well-crimped fibers, resulting in an airy yet substantial and well-balanced yarn. I was easily able to set the hank on my lap and wind it directly into a ball without using a swift or ball winder.
Each kit includes enough yarn to knit a test swatch so you can be sure your gauge will match with the pattern.
Because these yarns were specifically created for colorwork and textured knitting, in addition to my standard stockinette review swatches, I also knit a test swatch using the stitch pattern from my kit.
Knitting was smooth, fast, and easy. The yarn's overall jumbled surface works miracles to conceal those occasional uneven stitches. My work appeared steady and even.
A few times I did notice that one of the three plies hadn't made it into a stitch, especially when working cables on the textured swatch—but it could have been a result of my tension and technique. Otherwise, it was smooth sailing.
Blocking / Washing
Immediately I could see that the woollen fibers had bloomed into place, creating a lovely cohesive fabric. When I held it up close in direct sunlight, it was like looking into an Italian mosaic—the subtle, intricate color blending was marvelous.
I suppose the subtlety could be lost on some people, who'd say, "Looks like wool to me. What's the big deal?" But the sensitive and tactile knitter will appreciate this.
The yarn has a refined rugged feel that, although not distinctly scratchy, may not be comfortable directly against the skin—especially if you have sensitive skin.
The crimp of the fiber and the woollen spin preparation combine to produce a lofty material that will hold your body heat and keep you toasty warm during the cold winter months.
That's a steep price, but think of this: Depending on how tough you are on your clothes, a garment made from this yarn could last years, if not decades. Any Starmore project would be an heirloom.
Alice and Jade painstakingly created this yarn with their own designs in mind—they they make it easy to pick a design and buy the yarn in kit form. But if you love the yarn and don't like any of the kitted patterns, you're free to buy the yarn separately and use it for something else. But considering the relationship between the designers and the yarn, you may not want to email them for advice on that other project.
Embark upon a Starmore project, however, and you have years of challenge and delight ahead of you.

I have been useing Qcad Professional (under Slackware) for a few months now, and there are three features which would make my CAD life much easer.
1. If i push CTL SHIFT A it selects everything. I would like it if i push CTL ALT A, a second time for it to de-select everything. (similar to Blender)
2. I would like an option to put a line exactly halfway between two existing parallel lines.
3. Finaly I would like the files that i have open to be represented by tabs at the top of the drawing, like web pages in firefox. or/and if i have a file open but it is in the background and i select it from the recents menu it should bring that file to the for front not open a new file.
Just a few sugestions, keep up the good work.

WASHINGTON - MTV was asked to cancel a West Virginia-based reality show Friday by U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, who said the series will unfairly portray the state.
The network last month announced "Buckwild" will involve nine young men and women and their adventures around Sissonville, much like "Jersey Shore" about kids from New Jersey.
"Buckwild" will show inaccurate stereotypes of West Virginians, Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, told Stephen K. Friedman, president of MTV.
"As a U.S. senator, I am repulsed at this business venture, where some Americans are making money off of the poor decisions of our youth. I cannot imagine that anyone who loves this country would feel proud about profiting off of 'Buckwild,'" Manchin said in a letter to Friedman.
"We do not have a comment at this time," said Jake Urbanski, a spokesman.
MTV last month announced the show will start next month. The network describes the show as an comedic series following an outrageous group of childhood friends from the rural foothills of West Virginia.
"Money might be tight in their neck of the woods, but whether they're throwing a dump truck pool party or building their own human slingshot, nothing stops them from making their own entertainment," a promo of the show says. "Love and relationships come and go, but their bond with family and friends is always at the core for this eccentric group where anything goes."
Manchin called the show a travesty.
"Instead of showcasing the beauty of our people and our state, you preyed on young people, coaxed them into displaying shameful behavior and now you are profiting from it. That is just wrong," Manchin said.
Manchin has jumped to the defense of the state in similar situations in the past. His uncle, the late A. James Manchin, who was a secretary of state, treasurer and member of the House of Delegates, also took those to task for demeaning the image of West Virginians.
In 2008, Sen. Manchin, who then was governor, chastized the producers of a horror movie, "Shelter," for seeking actors with unusual or abnormal physical features to portray West Virginians.
A message for a comment from Gov. Earl Ray Tombin was not immediately returned.
Ravenswood Mayor Michael Ihle called it a publicity stunt amid other major issues needing attention. While Ihle said he agreed in principle with Manchin, other issues before Ravenswood, the state and the nation are more important, such as the national debt and the "fiscal cliff" at the end of the year if a budget deal is reached, Ihle said.
"What does this mean in the grand scheme things," Ihle rhetorically asked.
Buckwild portrays the ugly, inaccurate stereotypes about the people of West Virginia, Manchin said in his letter.
"Your program offers nothing about the major issues of our time: How we move our country forward, how we prepare young people to lead this country and take responsibility for themselves and how we put our finances in better shape for the next generation," Manchin said. "I am writing to urge you to reconsider airing this show. I hope that as you consider your decision, that you would consider your own state, your own community and your own children. Would you try to portray them in this light?"

Hi there,
Platform : Ubutnu 11.10, Java 1.7.
I have downloaded the sources from svn, so not really sure if the problem persists in the released build. Both phone and server do recognize each other, I can navigate thru tracks. However when I tried playing a track, Samsung captivate just sat there.
After some debugging I figured out that request for actually media data was not being fullfilled. The "argument" member in RequestV2 is set to "ttp://192.168.1.188:5001/get/0$1$1$1/01+Track+1.mp3" which never passes the check if the argument is "get" and code never opens the stream.
After patching this up locally, phone is playing the track, but facing weired problem. It does get full stream (I believe) but crashes. While playing the track, I get message about force closing the application on phone. The track keeps playing in background and does complete normally. So far I have tried with only one track and don't know if it will advance to next track.
I am trying to figure out what's happening here and need help to analyze the following log entries. Does the code write the actual number of bytes when it logs the sending bytes message in RequestV2 class. If so, then it should have sent complete data in first log entry as 16275220 is the file size on the disk. Current simple theory is it's just overshooting the stream and phone does not like it.
New I/O server worker #1-8] INFO 22:28:08.612 Sending 16275220 bytes.
[New I/O server worker #1-1] INFO 22:28:08.613 Sending 6 bytes.
[New I/O server worker #1-2] INFO 22:28:08.654 Argument ttp://192.168.1.188:5001/get/0$1$1$1/01+Track+1.mp3
[New I/O server worker #1-2] INFO 22:28:08.658 Sending 262144 bytes.
Another question is how do I enable trace log statements for certain classes? Right now to get the logs, I was forced to change to info to get output but would rather not touch the code if its config driven.
Thanks for any pointers

Villa Nardi is a splendid occassion to see an italian house from inside! Really worth of the price if you travel to understand local culture. It is not a hotel room, nothing like BB standard. For those who have small children it is not good place - house is too big and children are affraid to be alone for night (story of contessa maybe not best advertisment...). It is very convinient location - easy travel to Padova and Venezia by bus, no need to search for parking place :) Big store close to villa. Needs internet ! In this time it is really everyday need ! We will come-back there.
First time in the St Moritz - we skiing in various places and now we were here.
This is a very nice place. We have a very good weather firstly for 10 years!
fantastic location, beautiful Old Prague apartment. big and spacious: pity there's only one bathroom and the WC is truly small and uncomfortable. characteristic furniture although sometimes broken. very efficient reception with nice people welcoming and helping you. we stayed in 5 adults.
Great location within 5-10 minutes walk to east croydon.Good walking distance to the shopping centre in Croydon. Apartment better then expected. Fully equipped, good heating. Had some problems connecting to the WiFi and to get hot water in the kitchen and sink I the bathroom, other then that,fully satisfied.
A great apartment well equipped good value for money, with a great view over the marina. This is the fifth time we have been to dives/ cabourg and would definitely stay here again.
The cottage is placed in a scenic surrounding. Even though there are many of them, you hardly recognize the summer houses with their grass roofs in the dunes. The architecture and interior design are nice and appropriate. - We had good luck because our stay was not during the main season, therefore it was quiet all around this week, and we just met two neighbours. The beach is not far away, and it is endless in both directions. - In some details, the cottage and its equipment should be renovated. Mainly the outworn mattresses caused inconvenience, and after our return a slightly bad smell in our clothes and luggage. Furthermore, the kitchen equipment was neither clean nor cutlery complete, therefore we started our holiday with dishwashing and sorting out the stuff we did not want to use for these days. - Nevertheless, it was a great stay, and we enjoyed being there.
Very good situation near the lakes and quite good reception
Wonderful apartment, easy to check in and check out. Great views. Wanted to stay longer but had other bookings. Easy to park. Groceries pretty expensive though and beware of strict refuse disposal that requires special plastic bag (can be bought at landlord office) but not an issue as the whole experience was simply great.
Apartment was nice, very clean, spacious, quiet even though located on a big street and generally up to standard. Overground and Bus Stops very close, Underground stop can be reached by bus or walking easily. Few small issues (key for one of the windows missing, toilet seat broken, plastic bit of toilet flush falling down, bathroom pipe slightly leaking) but overall this apartment can definitely be recommended. HOWEVER, be aware that the key has to be picked up somewhere else (close to Camden Road Overground Station - so not far from the apartment) and you can't get the keys for the apartment at the apartment itself.
The apartment isn't bad, but it's impossible to stay in 6 persons, max 5.
The clear isn' good. So it's very strategic position in the town.

MOUNTAIN VIEW -- Mobile messaging service Tango said Wednesday it has received $280 million in venture funding, primarily from China's e-commerce giant Alibaba.
Tango's alliance with Alibaba, which led the way with $215 million, is "extremely exciting for us," said Eric Setton, a Stanford Ph.D in electrical engineering who went on to co-found Tango and now serves as the company's chief technology officer. The company started three years ago as a mobile video platform and has rapidly expanded into texting, games, music and social networking.
The other $65 million comes from previous investors.
Setton, who has family in France, and Uri Raz, a former Israeli Army tank commander, founded Tango in 2010 to create a way to make free video calls back home on their mobile devices.
Shortly after they founded Tango, Apple CEO Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone capable of video calling, and Tango had 1 million members 10 days later.
"We were blown away," Setton said.
Since then, the privately held company has expanded rapidly and now has 200 million registered users.
In June, Tango launched the first of 30 games produced by third-party developers. In November, Tango announced a partnership with the online music service, Spotify, that has since resulted in hundreds of millions of music downloads.
Tango, which is on a hiring binge, also plans to double its 120-person Mountain View staff next year, in addition to a couple dozen more employees it has in Austin, Texas.
"This money will allow us to pursue aggressively very premium content through partnerships," Setton said. "Our co-founder is a former tank commander in the Israeli Army. He knows how to go fast and straight."

Back Pain Health Center
Low Back Pain: Many Options for Relief
Oct. 1, 2007 -- People who suffer low back pain have high odds of finding relief without surgery, an expert panel says.
The panel, made up of experts from the American Pain Society and the American College of Physicians, has released guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain.
The guidelines cover what doctors call "nonspecific low back pain" -- that is, back pain not due to a specific condition such as cancer, a slipped disk, a compressed nerve, or a fracture.
If you have this kind of bad pain, there's good news, says panelist Roger Chou, MD, associate professor of medicine at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. Chou is director of the clinical guidelines development program of the American Pain Society.
"There are lots of options out there that have pretty good evidence they work," Chou tells WebMD. "There is no one perfect treatment for everybody. If you are interested in spinal manipulation and acupuncture, the evidence is just as good as for medications."
Once upon a time, doctors told people with low back pain to stay in bed for three days -- perhaps with a board under their mattress. That very bad advice actually made back pain worse, Chou says.
"We don't want people lying in bed," he says. "Get out. Try a normal range of activities, but back off if your back hurts. But you won't hurt your back by doing regular stuff, and it may actually keep your back conditioned and strong."
Doctors also used to give routine X-rays to patients complaining of low back pain. That, according to the expert panel, also is wrong. X-rays are indicated only when a doctor has reason to suspect an underlying condition that could be confirmed by imaging studies.
Back Pain Relief Menu
Most people with low back pain have an acute pain episode. But up to a third of patients report persistent pain of at least moderate intensity -- chronic low back pain.
The panel found evidence that different patients can get relief from a wide variety of treatments. These treatments include:
- Cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy
- Exercise therapy
- Spinal manipulation from a chiropractor, osteopath, or physical therapist
- Intensive interdisciplinary rehabilitation (physical, vocational, and behavioral therapies provided by multiple providers with different clinical backgrounds)
- Acupuncture
- Massage therapy
- Yoga
- Progressive relaxation

About the Book
New York Times bestselling historical romance author Victoria Alexandra carries readers away to rugged 1890s Wyoming in The Emperor's New Clothes.

Here is something else to discuss/help me with besides all this expansion stuff. I bought one of the small inflatable pools from Intex for my wife and kid this summer. I'm trying to fill it but I have a shallow well and its making me nervous. I only need like 900 gallons, but the pool filling places I called can only bring a minimum of 4500 gallons. Not sure what I should do. I go out and fill it for about 15 minutes and then let it sit for 30 minutes, but I'm still nervous, and at this rate its going to take a long time to fill. Any suggestions?
this may be of some local interest

- Pizarro: Century 21 dome in San Jose continues on path to landmark status
A story about dome movie theaters incorrectly reported that a mosaic in Terminal C at the old San Jose airport was destroyed. The artwork was a mural, and it was moved to Terminal A at Mineta San Jose International Airport.
SAN JOSE -- They were the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria of Space Age movie theaters, a domed armada set sail across a landscape in which anything suddenly seemed possible.
At the time of its opening 50 years ago in a fallowed farm field, "looking like a flying saucer about to take off," Century 21 became the first theater in Northern California that challenged the imagination of moviegoers as much as the pictures that played there.
Now it's among the last of its kind standing. After a recent, dramatic showdown at City Hall, the cinematic spaceship that architect Vincent Raney designed for a "city obsessed with the future" looks likely to be saved because of its past. But a broader debate continues over just which parts of the Bay Area's history are truly historic: Raney's domes in Fremont and Oakland are already gone, and his Pleasant Hill theater gave way to the wrecking ball last year after a City Council vote, despite a last-minute campaign by preservationists to save it.
Raney built a dozen domes in the Bay Area, all for movie impresario Ray Syufy. The theater impresario agreed to locate San Jose's Century 21, 22 and 23 -- the original theater's round-roofed companions -- on 11.6 acres owned by the architect's family, which also controlled the adjacent Winchester Mystery House, the peaks and cupolas of its rooftop in stark counterpoint to the nearby dome star fleet.
"As this area grew and changed from agriculture to technology, these domes became an important emblem of that change," said Matthew Sutton, standing forlornly outside the now-closed Century 21, which opened in 1964 and closed on March 31. "They wanted to evoke the future and embrace the optimism of the Space Age, that postwar Camelot era." Sutton organized a Save the Domes Facebook page, which, along with a petition drive that drew more than 8,600 signatures on Change.org, was thought to have influenced the City Council's 7-4 vote on June 10 to grant landmark protection to Century 21.
Last year, a campaign to save the CinéArts, Raney's dome in Pleasant Hill, fell one vote short when it went before City Council. During that debate, one woman warned council members that "once it's destroyed, like the Twin Towers, you don't see it anymore." In San Jose, an impassioned dome defender cautioned the council against committing "dome-icide."
Floating objects
For now, Century 21 has been spared that fate, but Century 22 and 23 appear unlikely to survive long enough to justify their names. Century 22 opened in 1966 as a single dome, followed a year later by Century 23. But as multiplexes began to replace single-screen theaters in the 1970s, Century 22 expanded to a Picasso-esque embarrassment of riches with three domes, each one with its own screen.
Unlike buildings that create a wall along the street, these were "object buildings," said architect Sally Zarnowitz, a former member of San Jose's planning department, "that lend themselves to floating in the landscape."
Century 21 was clearly the mother ship, with its unmistakable resemblance to the flying saucer that brought Klaatu and Gort to this planet in the 1951 sci-fi classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Raney gave it a gaudy zigzag parapet that also evoked a merry-go-round, Zarnowitz said. "All of that played into the idea of leisure architecture in the '60s."
By then, Hollywood was terrified that movie audiences would stay home and watch television if they weren't given a good reason to get off the couch. That gave rise to Cinerama, a revolutionary three-screen projection system that was originally devised to help World War II aircraft gunners widen their field of vision. After a decade of development, it was left to Welton Becket -- the pre-eminent Los Angeles architect, who designed a round Capitol Records Building that resembled a stack of LPs -- to create a round movie theater that would accommodate the wide, curved Cinerama screen. The Cinerama Dome opened on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard in 1963, inspired by the geodesic domes patented in this country by Buckminster Fuller.
The Century 21 was supposed to be a Cinerama theater, but by the time it was built, the impracticality of running three projectors simultaneously had rendered the format obsolete. Raney's design had drawn from Becket's, but it was distinctive in its own way. A tiled shroud was drawn over a cinder block base, with steel beam struts emanating from its base like landing gear. The beams held up a hemispherical dome that floated above the auditorium, as Sutton recalled, "at sky level."
This cathedral dedicated to the worship of movies would never rival classical domed architecture, such as St. Peter's Basilica, or even the neoclassical Houston Astrodome -- which opened a year later than Century 21, and was billed as "the Eighth Wonder of the World." But San Jose's Century 21 brought together nearly a thousand people at a time in a shared emotional experience. And for many, that memory remains indelible. One speaker after another stood before the San Jose City Council and recounted a movie they had seen there. "We are all here telling you," one woman said, "this really matters to us."
Not 'very historic'
The domes sprang from an architectural movement of relatively brief duration known as Mid-Century Modern, and according to Heather M. David, author of "Mid-Century By the Bay," Century 21 is the first commercial building from that period in San Jose to be landmarked in almost 20 years. "It's a big deal," she said. "For a city that exploded in the '50s and '60s, you'd think we'd be embracing this architecture as a differentiator. But we're not."
Under the lash of City Manager A.P. "Dutch" Hamann, San Jose grew from a sleepy farm town of 92,000 in 1950 to a city of semiconductors and 460,000 citizens in 1969. But the futuristic flying saucers of the 1960s now look to some more like speed bumps to continued progress. "I don't see the building as very old," Mayor Chuck Reed said dismissively of Century 21, "and I don't see it as very historic."
The clamor to level the domes and widen the city's tax base would fit a pattern of wiping out such touchstones of the city's history like Lou's Village on West San Carlos Street and the IBM Building 25 in South San Jose, which was destroyed in a fire as preservationists battled to save it from becoming a Lowe's store.
"It is absolutely heartbreaking," David said. "If it's in the direct line of fire of something they want for a high-density urban village, it's a goner. It seems like we just don't care."
Iconic symbols
People in Pleasant Hill cared enough to form a nonprofit organization to fund legal expenses in the unsuccessful yearlong fight to save that dome. This year, Dick's Sporting Goods -- which some dome devotees have vowed never to patronize -- erected a small mural depicting the dome.
Just as in San Jose, supporters implored the Pleasant Hill council to save it in remembrance of favorite films they had seen there, but Zarnowitz believes they were motivated by more than nostalgia. "They're not just talking about the movies," she said. "They may think they are, but I think they're also talking about the quality of the architecture. People recognize that and attach themselves to it."
The lack of emotional attachment by San Jose's mayor to what is arguably his city's most iconic structure reminded some dome supporters of the Parisian elite's eagerness to tear down the Eiffel Tower after the turn of the 20th century. "There were Parisians who thought it was totally out of place, which, of course, it was," said former Saratoga Mayor Paul Jacobs, who was once a member of the Santa Clara County Historical Heritage Commission. "And it wasn't historic. But today it's the most iconic symbol of Paris you can find. I'm quite sure 100 years ago, Mayor Reed ... would have said this darn thing is just a pile of iron, and not commercially useful. What it takes is the ability to step out of the present and look toward the future."
When Century 21 opened in 1964, the promise implicit in its name was the future. But that future now depends on the plans of Federal Realty, the developer responsible for Santana Row, a shopping center across the street from the domes that imagines itself a Tuscan village. A Federal spokeswoman recently acknowledged that the builder was prepared for the possibility of the theater attaining historic status, but she declined to elaborate on the company's plans for the site.
"It's an incredible opportunity for them to do something different, and I think they could pull it off," David said. "There's enough space in San Jose for all of us to have something that we love, so I have hope that compromise is a possibility. These are the buildings that give us a sense of place. Why do they have to become the West Coast's largest Urban Outfitters?"

A car chase and shooting in Minot over the weekend has led to several charges against three people.
Police say 19-year-old Stephen Brewer was chased early Saturday by a vehicle containing the three suspects, and that a bullet went through his windshield and struck him below his left eye. The injury was not life-threatening.
The Minot Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/11n0aF0 ) that 19-year-old Nathan Schlosser is charged with attempted murder, terrorizing and reckless endangerment. Eighteen-year-old Tegan Lamotte is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, terrorizing and reckless endangerment. Nineteen-year-old Kayla Wright is charged with terrorizing.
Schlosser's lawyer, Chad McCabe, says the situation is unfortunate, but as facts come out they will shed light on the case.
Lamotte's attorney did not respond to a message. Wright did not have a lawyer listed.

Instant Karma???
It's all over sunday Yidsters and the fate of our respective clubs will be decided for another year, a whole season of ups and downs, to be decided in just 90 minutes of nail biting football.
I have a terrible feeling that your sorry lot are about to gazump Arsenal to the CL places.
Karma has a real knack of evening out 'luck' over the course of time and last game qualification, between the north London clubs has, as we all know, fallen in favour of Arsenal in recent years.
If, you sorry hard done by lot manage to pip the GLORIOUS and frankly MUCH NICER side of north London this season, then all I can do is shrug the rippling muscles in my shoulders and, through gritted teeth, wish you lot well for next season.
Naturally, if, on the other hand, Arsenal actually do pull off the biggest robbery since, well, the last time we gazumped you, all I can do is chortle and rub my six pack whilst I let out a MIGHTY guffaw!
Whatever happens, enjoy!
And remember.....it really is, ONLY a GAME.
Much loveSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
It's hide behind the settee time with half open fingers covering the eyes...
I would wish you good luck, but in this particular instance, I want all the luck with us....
Maybe after tomorrow we may have to think up a name for the day in the year when that Woolwich bunch you support (who come from SOUTH London) can't catch us...?

it will be called Fizzy Pop Gunners Thursdays!!
I've already karmed the guys on here down with an in depth educated forecast in the You Guys thread. Plus the fact, Cisse's champing at the bit. I've sent you a Newcie Brown down Fab as an end of season depression lifter.
do u work for sky fab? trying to get more viewers! everyone knows the goons will win easy. newcastle have been awful & have nothing to play for. even the managers not bothered. put yer money on arsenal win. good odds & easy ££. sky should really show chelsea & arsenal matches. more chance of both games meaning something. didnt u tip wigan to get a result at arsenal alan? even thou it was obvious they would run out of legs & lose. anyway, im hoping we beat sunderland & finish with a win. even if it is too little, too late. wouldnt like to be in levys shoes. he sacks harry when we finish 4th & hand picks avb against.most fans wishes. & now we finish 5th. wriggle out of that 1 levy!
- 1 Reply to Layla
SB...If we beat Sunderland, we'll finish with our highest PL total ever, so would you say AVB has done better than Harry, or do you consider league placing as the mark of progress? I would say that on the whole, we havent played with much attacking flair this season, but that is understandable considering the lack of flair players in the team, especially in midfield...Most other teams, such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal use the term of being in a Transitional period when they get new players/managers in as an excuse for their below expected league placing even though as in Liverpool and Chelsea's case they have spent near £200 million in the last couple of seasons, so I personally would say we have done better this season even if we finish 5th. Hopefully we will now get the 4 or 5 quality player's we all know we need to get us playing the way we like to see us play, but probably like you I wont be holding my breath on that even if we do end up with 4th.....By the way, well done on topping our prediction table, hope you enjoy listening to your own view's on Hudds, while I got myself a bag of m+m's... lol....

Hey there!
First off i'd like to express my gratitude for thisprogram! Its amazing and has some crazy potential!
I Have been playing around with it and really enjoy it.
I was able to get it to stream many off my movies! I've followed the readme file for the Avisynth/ffdshow downloaded all the parts needed the codec pack installed avsynth and the rest... but I am hesitant as to how to actually use the Avisynth instead of the Mencoder!?
Also with the new version of this application i've tried runnning x264 encrypted files using a bandwidth limit of 15 as from what i have read my pc should be able to manage the encoding but my connection isnt great. I have the settings set to medium hd wifi and it runs but stutters on occasion... as someone else mentionned in another thread there is no way to rewind or fast forward except for 1.5x everything else the thing starts acting weird.
Also I am using an wrt54g wireless router as a wireless connection to Athlon 5200 at 2.6 with 3gb ram in vista to stream to my ps3
If you could help me with these points to ... It would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Justin Bieber's buddy Lil Za was arrested this morning at the Beeb's home on suspicion of possessing cocaine, according to TMZ.
Deputies from the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. said the cocaine was "in plain view" during the raid. Authorities were there with a search warrant, looking for evidence to connect Bieber with last week's egg attack on his neighbor.
Officials told TMZ that Bieber was "not connected" to the cocaine.
Lil Za is a rapper who once lived at Bieber's Calabasas home. The two have been friends for years.
Eleven L.A. County Sheriff's patrol cars descended on Bieber's house Tuesday morning. Police believe Bieber may have surveillance footage of the egg attack and reportedly dismantled Bieber's security system and took the video during the search.

Two school employees will remain out of the classroom while the Bennington, Vt., school district investigates comments captured on an audio recorder secretly placed the backpack of an autistic boy.
Laurie Connell and Clayton Buck were assigned to work with the 8-year-old boy last month, when the boy's aunt attached the recorder to his backpack. According to the Bennington Banner, the recording picked up comments insulting the boy.
Superintendent Catherine McClure says Connell, a paraprofessional, has been placed on administrative leave. She says Clayton Buck is not on leave because he's a substitute paraprofessional, but he won't be called in while the investigation continues.

Those who teach sacred texts as the word of God often dishonor the wisdom of our ancestors and distract us from self-awareness. The stories are often cautionary tales about human ego - calcified into commandments, bones without flesh, which distort, misinform and mislead those with good intentions. Examples include the Garden of Eden and the Tower of Babel, and are found in all religions. These are about human nature - not God.

Automatic music tagging
Jaikoz is a powerful audiotagger that supports Mp3, Mp4, OggVorbis and Flac files.
It automatically updates files using acoustic fingerprint matching and metadata lookups (using MusicBrainz and MusicIP database). Over thirty fields can be updated automatically including artwork and lyrics. Changes to your files are reflected in iTunes. Jaikoz also provides powerful manual editing controls
Required OS: not specified
Tags: tag , mp3 , mp4 , tagger , lyrics , itunes
10 Opinions
I love Jaikoz, people complain about the GUI, I think it's fine. How polished does it need to be? It's easy enough to use, does a great job and the developer is constantly updating it and doesn't charge a yearly or upgrade fee for new features/versions.
Honestly, I don't pay for a lot of extra software on my Mac, but Jaikoz was one I felt was well worth it.
I think it is awesome. They keep updating Jaikoz all the time and the serial number keeps working. I have fixed my entire itunes library.... it added all the artwork and fixed lyrics. It fixed tiles, track numbers, album name, years and it even resorts your music through actions menu if you want to clean it up and have it all sit in the correct albums. Otherwise... Just click Auto Correct and it does most of it automatically.... It could be a bit faster... but then again I corrected 16gb of music the first time.
I'd like to say this app, though always useful, started out rough around the edges. However, each new release creates a cleaner and more appealing UI and functionality.
I gladly support this independent developer and heartily recommend anyone looking for a music tagger to try this little app out. It's much more then just a tagger, it's like MetaX for your music!
enjourni:Jaikoz does consider the #Tracks when matching. You are right it doesn't automatically fill this field, this is because originally only supported Mp3 format and with Mp3 the Track#/#Tracks are stored in a single field. This will be fixed very soon.
Seems pretty good. Lots and lots of features/options (maybe even too many... how about a "simple" mode?) Doesn't seem to consider or populate the "# Tracks" field. You have to enter it manually, for example "2/12" for the 2nd track of a 12 track album. Then iTunes will recognize it.
Thanks for the info, paultaylor. I didn't want to drop $30 on it if Jaikoz was going to be missing a backend a year from now, but I'm otherwise quite happy to go out and buy it now. I used to use picard, etc and am pleased to see there is still a great OSX utility for this.
In response to scf Musicbrainz is not going comercial, but it has always provided the data to commercial companies for a price (e.g last.fm, bbc). Jaikoz has a very close relationship with the people behind Musicbrainz and10% of every sale go to Musicbrainzinz so dont worry there is no impact on Jaikoz
Does this still use the musicbrainz database? I heard that is going commercial. How will that switch impact users of Jaikoz? Or will it?
Yes, it may not be the best aqua interface around, but it's definitely the best tagger and media manager around. The developer, Paul, is very helpful and is not asking much with those 15 pounds. Recommended app.
While the GUI is admittedly not at all Mac'ish (primarily because it is Java and cross-platform), the application is the absolutely best and most efficient tagger I have used. You can configure it, point it at your music library, and watch as it uses the acoustic fingerprinting and database lookups to automatically fix your tags, get artwork, and organise your collection. Author is constantly improving it too, and directly takes feedback from users.

Aside from the comics stuff, I'm somewhat diligently pursuing a masters degree in writing for children. I live in Chicago now but originally hail from the hardest working town in America: Flint, Michigan. If you ever meet me, remember that I give great high fives.
FIRST COMIC: It's a toss up between "Batman" #436 and "Web of Spider-Man" Annual #4. I bought them both in the same summer, and liked Batman WAY better is all I can recall.

She has it 'Made'
Prospect's Brooke Dragon on MTV
The self-improvement show, now in its 13th season, follows teens who hope to be "made" into singers, athletes, dancers and the like. Dragon's hour-long episode aired Jan. 5 and should be available on mtv.com in coming weeks.
Dragon, a sophomore at the University of Connecticut-Storrs who just turned 20, is a longtime fan of the show and decided on a whim last June to send in an audition tape. Growing up in a home with a fitness-studio owner for a mother and a former competitive bodybuilder for a father, she was no stranger to fitness.
But when she decided she wanted to look like the perfectly toned and trim figures in magazine ads, she knew she had to make more than a few dietary and exercise changes. Although her family has always lived healthily, she said it became more intense three years ago when her mother, Tami Dragon, opened Live Love Dance Fitness Studio in town.
"Since then, it's taken over our house," said Dragon, a 2011 graduate of Woodland Regional High School in Beacon Falls. "If you want to find chocolate, good luck. It's hard when your parents look perfect. I'm glad they are like that, because if they weren't, I wouldn't have ever done this."
While she has never been overweight and has always exercised, Dragon said she tended to reward herself after workouts with a burger or other treat.
"I worked out to stay in shape and not to get into incredible shape. I never knew there was a competitive side to modeling and I found out that that is attainable by everyday people," said Dragon, explaining that bikini competition is like a "beauty fitness pageant," where the goal is to have low body fat and muscle definition, but nothing "too hard."
Dragon was paired up with professional bikini model Tianna Ta for five weeks of brutal training. That meant three to four hours of working out each day, while taking five college courses for her nutritional sciences major.
"I'd be up training in the morning at 5 or 6 and wouldn't be done until 12 at night," she said.
MTV flew Dragon to Las Vegas in September to see Ta compete in what Dragon described as the Super Bowl of body building. There, Dragon rubbed elbows with industry professionals and found out she had just under a month to train herself to compete in an event in New Hampshire.
On Oct. 20, Dragon placed third in the event and became a sponsored athlete with Bodybuilding.com. She is currently training for the Arnold Fitness Weekend, an annual bodybuilding competition named after Arnold Schwarzenegger. It takes place in late February in Columbus, Ohio.
"I have about 50 more days to get in even better shape than I was before," said Dragon on Tuesday.
Dragon said she hopes to continue competing and upon graduation, start her own private practice counseling clients in fitness and nutrition. She currently teaches Zumba at her mother's studio and does some personal training.
Her time getting in shape with Ta revolutionized her fitness and eating regime, she said.
"I was the girl who went to the gym, got on the treadmill and left," she said of her former self. "I never did weights. And I never had a trainer before and on the episode, you'll see that she is not the kind that gives positive reinforcement. She breaks you down and that was hard."
Dragon said she shed 15 pounds from her 5-foot-6-inch frame and now weighs 135 pounds.
"I thought changing my food was going to be the hardest part, but it was the other way around," she said. "I eat six times a day, every 2 1/2 hours and it's super clean food and fat, protein and carbs with every meal."
To maintain her fitness, she is working out 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day — and trying to stay on top of the enormous number of emails she received after "Made" aired. She started a public Facebook and YouTube page to answer the many questions strangers were sending her about diet and workouts.
As for her family, she said her newly increased interest in a fit lifestyle has brought her closer to her parents.
"Fitness and diet and exercise is something my family bonds over and we can talk about it all day," she said.

In recent years, a market surge in biopharmaceuticals has warranted extensive research and development in advanced cell culturing techniques and subsequent methods of optimizing bioprocesses. Media development is one of the most critical stages in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Indeed media components have such a strong impact, they can account for up to 30% of the total production cost.1 This area of development offers the potential to dramatically improve yield and quality of the expressed product.2The ideal cell culture medium, whether for use in mammalian or microbial systems, is one that provides process consistency, robustness, and batch-to-batch reproducibility. Essentially, a raw material must meet most, if not all, criteria listed below.3
For many years, economic constraints have dictated media composition. This has led to the widespread use of complex, readily available raw materials, making large-scale fermentations reliant on cheap sources of carbon and nitrogen, which are often by-products of other industries such as corn steep liquor from the corn-starch industry and beet molasses from the sugar industry. Combining such complex components with animal-derived hydrolysates has increased the scope of product manufacture, creating high yielding processes at minimal costs. The abundance of biosynthetic precursors and growth-promoting agents make complex media the composition of choice, primarily because they accelerate growth and enhance productivity. Complex raw materials usually are derived from animal-sourced processes, such as hydrolysed peptones and sera. They also may be non-animal–derived, such as the by-products beet molasses and corn steep liquor. They can contain numerous individual components, some of which are semi-characterized and many more are uncharacterized. In many cases, biomass yields are greater with complex and semi-defined media than with chemically defined media. However, data from physiological studies is more difficult to interpret and can be clouded or influenced by many intrinsic parameters.
Growth precursors found in such complex components may be channelled directly into anabolic pathways, thus saving metabolic energy.4 This offers an immediate advantage in terms of culture metabolism but ultimately makes process definition and development problematic.
Fermentations using complex media have worked successfully for many years, and strain selection is often based around current media and cultivation conditions. Media development, however, is largely empirical, with little research into defining such raw materials. For example, a modified strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which had been labelled the ultimate solution to lignocellulose-derived xylose, was found to require yeast extract, additional hexose sugar, and oxygenation,5 thus making growth in a chemically defined media difficult without intensive investigation. Therefore, the final industrial environment must be considered to prevent unanticipated costs at later stages. Both S. cerevisiae and Escherichia coli have extensive biosynthetic capacity and can grow well in defined media. In contrast, the biosynthetic capacity of many lactic acid bacteria are limited and they require complex or extensively supplemented media for efficient growth.6
The quest for increased productivity combined with patient safety has encouraged biopharmaceutical companies to invest more time and money into their processes and for raw material suppliers to explore new chemically defined versions of media.

Lawmaker to address chamber
Published: Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 11:57 p.m.
Congressman William "Bill" Cassidy, M.D., will be the guest speaker at the Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce membership luncheon, which will be held on Thursday, Feb. 21.
The luncheon is set to begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Foundry on the Bayou.
The buffet luncheon is $15 for Thibodaux chamber members and $25 for non-members. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the chamber office at 446-1187 or writing to email@example.com.
What an exciting time it is for south Louisiana — the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras all at the same time. I am extremely thrilled that the Super Bowl is bringing hundreds of visitors to the Bayou Region. It is my understanding that almost every hotel room in the Houma/Thibodaux area is booked with Super Bowl guests. That is great news, economically speaking. These visitors will be spending their money in our communities and are sure to have a positive impact on the region. In addition, the positive national media that the area has been receiving undoubtedly is going have a great impact on south Louisiana.
Monique Crochet, marketing director for the city of Thibodaux, launched a huge "Welcome to Thibodaux" campaign. She was able to get tons of donations to create goody bags to place in all of the hotel rooms that will be occupied by Super Bowl guests. Thanks Monique for such a great idea, and thanks to all of the volunteers who helped to assemble the bags. Also, thanks to all of the great Thibodaux businesses who were so generous in donating all of the items for the gift bags. I am sure the effort will leave a positive, lasting impression of the Bayou area!
Best wishes for a very happy and safe Mardi Gras!
Kathy Benoit is the president and CEO of the Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce.

CHAR- SAUSH KOOTENAI AND PEND'd ORIELLES TRIBES CHARLO KOOSTAHTAH KOOSTA SMIMII (Salish: News) Volume 3 Number I New Moon of Blooming Bitterroot (May lr 1973) Price 15 cents Kootenai Coalition: Aiming For A Showdown On Rights Elmo (Char-Koosta).. The n ewly formed Kootenai Coalition is aimed at bringing a pair of Kootenai rights proposals to a boil. The coalition was formed during a meeting in Elmo April 18 to implement the alternative proposals offered to the tribe at the second quarterly meeting by Elmo Councilman Pat Lefthand. The first proposal calls for a number of revisions in the Tribal administration and constitution...including striking all members with less than one-quarter degree tribal blood from the rolls and giving Kootenais equal representation on the tribal council...geared to correct what they feel are inequities in the current political and economic system. The second plan is designed to achieve the same end by complete succession from the tribal confederation by equally deviding tribal lands and resources. The two plans and the Kootenais grievances will be aired at a special Tribal Council-public meeting to be held in Elmo May 12. The date of this meeting was incorrectly given as May 5 in the last issue of Char-Koosta The Kootenai Coalition is preparing a plan based on the reform proposal t be presented at the special meeting but work on the succession proposal is already underway because many here feel the meeting will be boycotted by many Council members. The Kootenai Coalition was established to bring about the reforms the Kootenais are seeking through financial and legal assistance. The initial draft of the two proposals came out of a meeting of the Elmo Drum and Feathers Club last month. The Drum and Feathers Club was formed to foster Kootenai traditions and culture. Officers for the Coalition are: Chairman, Joe Mathias Vice-Chairman, Margerette Friedlander..Secretary, Nancy Joseph and Treasurer, Madaline Couture. The Kootenai tribal reform proposal consists of four basic demands: —Equal representation on the Tribal Council..Five Flatheads (Salish and Pend 'd Orielles) and five Kootenais. —Eliminating from the tribal rolls all members with less than one-quarter Kootenai or Flathead blood. Many here feel the ante should be raised to one-half blood quantum. —Measuring the blood of non-member Indian parents on the quantum of children. This measure. the Kootenais feel, would help preserve Indian identity. —Per Capita distribution of monies based on blood quantum. Those with more tribal blood would receive perportionately greater shares. If these reform demands are not met, the Kootenais Coalition says it will take its alternative proposal for succession and devision of the reservation to the courts and congress. The Kootenais say they will demand: —An equal split of all reservation resources and assets. —A division of the reservation with the Kootenais taking the northern half. —An even split of all accounts and cash reserves. Storm Gathering Over 90 Percent Distribution Plan Dixon (Char-Koosta)...The Tribal Council will decide whether or not to call an election on a petition to distribute 90 percent of tribal revenue this weekend (Saturday 28) but already electioneering on the controversal issue has reached a high pitch. An anonymously authored fly-sheet opposing the plan has been widely distributed around the reservation during the past two weeks. Two articles...by Tribal Economic Advisor Ron Trosper and Tribal Councilman Tom Pablo, Hot Springs...have appeared in Char-Koosta critisizing the plan and a third article, by Lillis Waylett, appears in this issue (see page 5). The paper is open to signed articles oh expressing either view point on this issue. The plan and petition, both authored by Councilman Fred Whitworth, Arlee and Bud Moran, Arlee, have gathered 559 signatures of which 511 have been authenticated. The petition calls for resolution election on a ten percent tribal operating budget and the distribution of the remaining 90 percent of tribal revenues. The council has already resolved to run the Tribal admin- istration on 10 percent and payout between 50 and 90 percent of revenues. The fly-sheet calls the 90 percent distribution idea "a dead-end termination plan" and attacks both the plan and Councilman Whitworth. The sheet claims the plan would: ...actually increase admin-(cont. on page 3) Kyi-Yo Starts Wednesday Missoula:Kyi-Yo Indian Days at the University of Montana will begin May 3 under the theme, "Cultural Integrity." Among the guest speakers and panelists participating in the three day event this year will be DeDartment of Interior NavajoChairman Peter McDonald; Thomas Banyaca, a Hopi (cont. on page 3)

SANTA CLARA -- Creighton Lane, a longtime Wilcox basketball coach and mentor to many former and current students at the Santa Clara high school, has died of stomach cancer. He was 56.
Lane, who passed away Tuesday, coached boys basketball at Wilcox for 15 seasons, leading the varsity team to a league championship in 2001.
He later took over the school's girls program, guiding it to a Central Coast Section title in 2008.
"Creighton was a second father for me," said Wilcox boys coach Patrick Galos, who played for and coached alongside Lane at the school. "He was the J.V. coach when I was a freshman, and he basically took me under his wing."
As word has spread about Lane around campus, a huge card was set out Tuesday for students, staff and friends to sign. It filled up quickly, so another was placed out Wednesday.
Stories were shared about the coach who one friend and colleague remembered as gruffy and cuddly all in one.
"To know him was to love him," said Nelson Washington, who coached AAU basketball with Lane. "He makes you think. He makes you work. But you knew when he was in your corner, if something was wrong or something was right, that was the corner you would turn and look to. He was there to pick you up or give you a kick in the (rear) when you needed it.
"He was an amazing guy. When he told me he had cancer, it was like, 'OK, it's cancer, but it's Creighton. He'll beat it. It's something we'll laugh about down the road.' "
When Jeff Muralt arrived at Wilcox 17 years ago, he was told there were two people he had to meet. One was Lane.
"In terms of coaching, he was the guy who taught me that I could be more than just a coach for my players," said Muralt, who coached the varsity boys team at Wilcox for six years. "I could be a father figure, I could be an uncle, I could be someone that takes more than just an athletic interest in the kids.
"I have a lot of my players that I keep in contact with that are basically like my family now, and I have always credited that to Creighton."
One of the stories Muralt shared with his students is about the open gyms he and Lane used to run at the school.
"We wanted to play probably more than the kids a lot of the times," Muralt said. "His open gyms were pretty notorious and a lot of fun. He loved playing basketball probably more than he loved coaching it."
Muralt remembered being told years ago that Lane's presence set the Wilcox campus apart.
"The care that he put into every student, not just the elite, not just the top athletes, he looked after a lot of kids at our school," Muralt said.
Tuesday, several teachers took time during class to talk to their students about Lane.
"That's really what helped me deal with it, to talk about his life and the impact he had on people," Muralt said.
Lane did it all at Wilcox, washing uniforms, studying film, taking his team to the movies, renting a limo for the game at rival Santa Clara.
"I might yell a lot, but I consider myself a work in progress," Lane told the Mercury News in 2006. "They don't want to know how much I know -- they want to know how much I care."
In his first season with the girls program, 2004-05, Lane was named Mercury News girls basketball coach of the year after leading the Chargers to a section final one year after the team won five games.
Both of Lane's former teams at Wilcox won league championships this season and will be playing in the CCS playoffs this week.
For the boys, the title was the first since Lane's team won one.

Services will be held Friday at 11 a.m. at Jubilee Christian Center at 105 Nortech Parkway in San Jose.

"Tiny Prints has provided great customer service and consistent phenomenal quality whenever we order our family invitations or cards. I continue to use this company for all my stationary needs again and again!"
"As always, the customer service and timeliness from Tiny Prints was excellent. I have been a repeat customer for nearly five years and this card has received the most compliments by far. Love this design, the graphic online does not do it justice!"
"The tinyprints website made choosing the card and all the details quick and painless. Cards are perfect! We did not go with the scalloped edges as shown here. Love the backing. Received before the date that they had stated! Will do again next year :-)"
"This is the first time I've used Tiny Prints. It was hard to decide with all the beautiful design choices. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper and the printing. It seems a little more expensive than some sites but I felt with the rapid service and quality product it was worth it."
"I've used tiny prints for the past 6 years and they are the best quality and best options of any card company I've found. Very satisfied"

RED FEATHER LAKES, Colo. (AP) -- At least 112 homes have been damaged or destroyed by an 84-square-mile wildfire in northern Colorado.
Officials say the total is likely to rise.
Fire commanders say the fire is 20 percent contained and full containment could be two to four weeks away.
One person was killed when a cabin burned. Evacuation calls have been made to about 3,000 phones since the fire started, but authorities cannot say how many homes are involved. Evacuation orders have been lifted for about 1,200 of those numbers.
Evacuations have also been ordered at a 17-square-mile fire near Pagosa Springs in southwest Colorado. A fire information officer says about 10 people at two ranches were told to leave.
As efforts to contain fires burning in New Mexico, a team of biologists is trying to save a threatened species of trout. Once the fires are out, experts fear summer rains will choke waterways with ash, soil and charred debris. The biologists are using electroshocking devices to temporarily stun the Gila trout. The fish are being scooped up and taken to a hatchery in northern New Mexico for safe keeping.
