I've got an old machine that I'd really like to be able to use to stream High Def content. I'm new to the PS3, however I've been using the program for about 2 weeks now. I was wondering if anyone could help me tweak some settings. I've been able to stream 720p from my laptop (2gb ram w/ core 2 duo) as .mkv, however, I've had trouble with my MCE Pc. Suggestions would be very much appreciated.
I'm running Windows MCE.
I'm streaming from pms with default settings.
Also, my ps3 is hooked up via hdmi. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
I have an Intel Celeron 2.8 ghz and a gig of ram.
Also, my computer and ps3 are both wired just through a router. (Actiontec M1424)

The Penguins captain has got better each year in the NHL and this year he's become a goal-scorer. But look for Crosby to return to his playmaking roots for Canada.
In its tournament opener against Norway, Canada got the offense it was hoping for, hanging eight goals on a bunch of Vikings and at least one carpenter in a shutout victory.

The Preds, Caps and Avs are all happy to see an extended mid-season respite as they make that final push down the stretch.
For those who are going to Vancouver, it is the chance to play for country, to claim one of the top prizes in the sport and hang out with fellow elite players.
by Ryan Kennedy - February 10, 2010 11:20 AM UTC
Even though Matt Duchene has more points and Tyler Myers is the Calder favorite, Johnny T is the most important player to his franchise.
Based on current projections, your 2010 Calder Trophy winner will be Buffalo Sabres defenseman Tyler Myers. And rightly so. The lanky wunderkind is logging huge minutes on a good team and is tied for third in rookie scoring with 32 points through 58 games.
by Ryan Kennedy - February 8, 2010 12:20 PM UTC
Injuries and old bodies doomed the Hurricanes this year, but a plethora of vets on the way out and prospects in the system will make for a fast turnaround.
Trust this: One of the worst teams in the league right now won't be that way for long. The Carolina Hurricanes have been euchred by injuries and hampered by the remnants of an old guard about to move on this season, but there's a slew of reasons to believe this team will be back in the playoffs next season and capable of going a round or two.

Nevada's adult playground provides so many outlets for fun, but the best of all may be wagering on hockey.
LAS VEGAS – No sports fan can go to Las Vegas without checking out at least one sportsbook and I am no different. It's a place where you can bet on all sorts of games and most, if not all of the contests, are broadcast for you on huge screens.
by Ryan Kennedy - January 31, 2010 3:30 PM UTC
A tailspin forced the Flames to deal an elite defenseman and a top prospect for depth at forward and a versitle blueliner.
For a team in need of change, the Calgary Flames are certainly getting a jolt from GM Darryl Sutter, who traded what used to be a franchise cornerstone in defenseman Dion Phaneuf to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
by Ryan Kennedy - January 27, 2010 9:45 AM UTC
With so much success at the junior level and nothing to show at the NHL, it's conceivable that Sutter isn't cut out to coach the big boys.
When the Calgary Flames retooled for this season, the addition of defenseman Jay Bouwmeester was no doubt a marquee move, but so was the hiring of Brent Sutter to coach the team.
by Ryan Kennedy - January 20, 2010 11:20 AM UTC
Personal vendettas add an extra layer of fun to rivalries. Here are three of the best going in the NHL today.
Sure, it's a team game, but hockey often comes down to battles; individual matchups and tests of will between two combatants. Recently, I've found myself delighting even more in those confrontations and in that spirit, I present to you my three favorite skater battles currently festering in the NHL.
by Ryan Kennedy - January 18, 2010 12:20 PM UTC
Despite struggles this season, the future is still bright in Dallas thanks to a pair of top-line wingers under the age of 25.
There may be a lot of upheaval in Dallas right now, thanks to inopportune injuries and a cast of aging veterans who likely won't be wearing the black and green much longer, but the Stars do have one enviable advantage: they've got a top line secured for the next half decade.
by Ryan Kennedy - January 13, 2010 10:30 AM UTC
The end of the season is a long way off, but injuries, inconsistency and a tough schedule won't make a post-season berth easy to accomplish.
True, it was one game in a long season, but when was the last time the Detroit Red Wings got waxed 6-0 by the New York Islanders? I'd wager Denis Potvin was involved, let's put it that way.
by Ryan Kennedy - January 11, 2010 1:35 PM UTC
What's the point of a two minute penalty with less than 30 seconds to go? The punishment should fit the time.
So I'm watching the end of the Columbus-Calgary tilt Friday night and with the Blue Jackets up by a goal and time dwindling to its last seconds, the Flames are threatening in deep.
by Ryan Kennedy - January 6, 2010 12:16 AM UTC
A disciplined group of American youngsters upsets Team Canada for their second WJC gold... and Sweden spanks the Swiss for bronze.
SASKATOON – It had to go to overtime. And fittingly, the winner came on a rush, U.S. defenseman John Carlson ending the gold medal game at 4:21 of the extra frame with a wrist shot to the blocker side of Canadian goaltender Martin Jones for a 6-5 American win.

On coming to America JUL 02 2010
The story of the emigration of Morris Moel and his family from the Ukraine in the 1910s/20s demonstrates what an amazing pull America then had as the land of opportunity.
My father was here [in the USA]. He came in 1913. We didn't hear from him for many many years during World War I, and after this the revolution in Russia. Things were terrible. So we didn't hear from my father for 12 or 13 years. We finally got a message. It came through from Warsaw, from HIAS, the Hebrew immigration society. So my mother went to Warsaw, she left us with my grandmother. She was there for two months, three months, and during that period my grandmother passed away, and my older brother who was 17 became our mother and father. And one winter day a big sleigh approaches the houses and a man comes out and asks if we are the Moel family. "We're here to take you to the mother."

Thank you for signing up!
In the spring of 2007, after the birth of my second beautiful daughter, I relapsed from the eating disorder and severe depression I suffered with in college.
After six months of draining the lives of so many family and friends, I decided to receive intensive therapy once and for all. I was losing my husband, alienating friends and family members and spending days and weeks inside the house. I had two little girls to take care of and I could barely take care of myself.

Bill Clement was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the second round of the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft, 18th overall. He played three years of major junior hockey with the Ottawa 67's. In his final season in 1969-70,he had 19 goals and 55 points in 54 games.
Compared with most Canadian kids, Clement began playing hockey rather late. Although he did suit up as young as eight, it was as a goalie. It was not until he was 12 years old that Clement left his goalie pads behind to assume the position of center with his local team in Thurso, Quebec. His right wing linemate was none other than Guy Lafleur.
Clement, known as a solid two-way forward, played in 1970-71 with the AHL's Quebec Aces. In 69 games he scored 19 goals and 58 points. The following season, the Flyers felt he needed additional development and he played in 26 games with the Richmond Robins. That year Clement did dress for 49 games for the Flyers, scoring nine goals and 23 points. In 1972-73, Clement had a full-time roster spot with the Flyers, scoring 14 goals and 28 points in 73 games.
The next two years were the biggest in Clement's eleven-year career, as the Flyers won two consecutive Stanley Cup championships. Clement, like most of the other players on that team, believe the first championship was the most special, having beaten Bobby Orr and the mighty Boston Bruins in the finals. Philadelphia successfully defended its championship in 1975, turning back the Buffalo Sabres four games to two.
In 1975-76, Clement joined the Washington Capitals in a trade that sent Mel Bridgman to Philadelphia. He played in 46 games before being traded to the Atlanta Flames. Clement has never hid the fact he hated his time with the cellar-dwelling Capitals. Ironically, it was Clement's best season from a statistical standpoint, scoring 23 goals and 54 points in 77 games between the two teams. Clement played another four years in Atlanta and followed the franchise when it moved to Calgary for the start of the 1980-81 season where he played for two years before retiring at the conclusion of the 1981-82 season. Played in NHL All-Star Game (1976, 1978)

Gun Rights Groups Target Local Rules
Beginning in the 1980s, states started passing laws that limited the ability of cities and counties to regulate firearms swept the nation.
The effort has paid huge dividends for the gun lobby.
In 1979, seven states had laws that blocked municipalities from regulating guns. That number reached 45 states by 2005, thanks to lobbying efforts by the National Rifle Association, according to Kristin Goss, a Duke University professor and the author of "Disarmed: The Missing Movement for Gun Control in America."
Still, the gun lobby continues to fight on this front, encouraging states to toughen up these so-called "preemption" laws. Three states — Florida, Kentucky and Virginia — recently overhauled their laws to make it easier to take legal action against municipalities that try to regulate firearms or ammunition.
Now, if a resident were to prevail in a lawsuit challenging a local law, not only would the ordinance be struck down, but the municipality would be liable for the opposing party's attorneys' fees.
"It makes these function more like civil rights statutes," said Michael O'Shea, a professor at Oklahoma City University School of Law, of the preemption statutes.
From the perspective of gun-control advocates, preemption may be among the NRA's masterstrokes.
"The No. 1 rule of advocacy is that it's easier to accomplish change at the local level than at the federal or state level," said Josh Horwitz, the executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, based in Washington, D.C. "But these laws cut off at the knees the ability to do anything at the local level."
Andrew Arulanandam, a spokesman for the NRA, said the preemption laws are meant to ensure that "when you cross over an imaginary boundary line, you don't turn from a good person to a felon."
"Having a patchwork of laws throughout the states would basically decimate people's rights to self defense or undermine one of their constitutional rights," he said.
In addition to using the laws to stamp out gun regulations in localities (several examples of which we document in this Wall Street Journal story Wednesday), gun groups have also used preemption arguments to challenge university restrictions on firearms. The highest court in Colorado struck down the University of Colorado's gun ban last year, ruling that state laws removed the matter from universities' control.
It's unclear whether local ordinances have stemmed gun violence. Data on the effectiveness of local and state gun regulations is scarce. Relatively few local gun regulations are enforced anymore, for one thing. And researchers tend to devote less attention to laws that are narrow in scope and range, said Jon S. Vernick, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research.
The gun lobby has suffered a few losses in preemption disputes. In Pennsylvania, for instance, the NRA recently sought to strike down ordinances in roughly 30 localities, including Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, that require people to report lost or stolen guns.
The NRA lawsuits failed, because the ordinances have never been enforced, depriving the group of legal standing. Undeterred, the NRA has lobbied state legislators to pass a law that would let organizations — itself included — challenge local gun regulations in court, even if no one has been charged with violating them.
The legislation failed, but gun-control advocates are expecting another fight this legislative session.

Drake is upset at Rolling Stone for dropping him as the cover photo and switching to Philip Seymour Hoffman after the sudden death of the acclaimed actor earlier this month.
He's right. That guy has a lot of nerve, dying and hogging all the attention.
According to the New York Daily News, the 27-year-old rapper ranted against the magazine on Twitter Thursday, saying he was angry not only about the cover switch, but that the article included him calling some of Kanye West's raps "questionable."
"I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone," Drake wrote.
He also tweeted about the cover: "They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue."
"I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil," he added.
Drake has since deleted his first two tweets.
Hoffman was found dead of an apparent heroin overdose Feb. 2 in his Manhattan apartment. Rolling Stone features the late actor's life and legacy in the March issue.
But Drake wasn't having it.
"I'm done doing interviews for magazines," he wrote. "I just want to give my music to the people. That's the only way my message gets across accurately."
Good strategy. Generally not doing press is an excellent approach to a successful entertainment career.
Rolling Stone issued a statement in response to Drake's tweets, saying "we stand by our reporting."

Lakeland Police Identify Suspect in Fatal Shooting of Christopher Campbell
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 3:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 3:02 p.m.
LAKELAND | Lakeland police Monday said they are searching for Thomas S. Waring in the shooting death of a 26-year-old Lakeland man last month.
Waring, 25, is a suspect in the killing of Christopher Campbell, who was found dead in a vehicle Nov. 11 in the 1200 block of Wright Drive, according to an LPD statement. Residents reported shots were fired in the area just before Campbell was found shot to death.
The owner of the vehicle told police he let Campbell use it to meet someone, but he didn't provide more details.
Campbell's mother, Debra Campbell, said the family has kept in contact with detectives and used Facebook to spread information about the case.
The family spent the weekend passing out Crime Stoppers bulletins in the area where her son was found.
"I'm very emotional and pleased all at the same time," she said Monday.
"I'm very pleased that the police have done an awesome job working with the community."
Since Campbell died, his first son has been born. The baby, born a week ago, was named after his father, Debra Campbell said.
She learned about the suspect being named Monday and said she doesn't think Waring was friends with her son.
"We are managing one day at a time," she said. "Our spiritual faith is getting us through this."
Police said Waring is considered armed and dangerous.
He is facing a first-degree murder charge.
According to the Florida Department of Corrections website, Waring has served time in prison on cocaine and fleeing from law enforcement charges.
Anyone with information about Waring's whereabouts can call police at 863-834-8973 or Crime Stoppers at 800-226-8477.

The home, a two-story, 9,000 square foot respite home, will feature 12 patient rooms, each with two full beds. (WRDW-TV / Dec. 16, 2011)
News 12 First at Five / Friday, Dec. 16, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- There are only 23 in the entire country and one of them will be right here in Augusta because of you.
We're talking about a special home for women coping with cancer. It's been in the works for years and Friday, the Lydia Project is one very important step closer to building that home.
Thanks to donations and the Lydia Project, a nonprofit group who helps women deal with cancer, we'll soon welcome the Daksha Chudgar Lydia House.
For quite some time, it's been a vision. A blueprint.
"There's so many houses in the world, but there are no houses for the patients," said Dr. Bipin Chudgar.
It became Chudgar's vision when cancer touched his own life.
"She fought for 20 months. We tried everything, nothing worked. She was well known in town, but unfortunately she couldn't fight the cancer," Chudgar said.
After a successful medical career herself, his wife, Daksha Chudgar, lost her battle with cancer in 2009.
This house is a tribute to her.
"This ADA-accessible house will feature 12 patient rooms, each with two full beds," announced Lydia Board President Jerry Renbarger.
It will be a two-story, 9,000 square foot respite home.
"Why not have a house kind of like the Ronald McDonald House or The Fischer House, but a place where women can come stay a few nights to regain strength?" Renbarger said.
On Friday, alongside Lydia Project volunteers, the mayor and other officials, that vision took root as they broke ground at the future site near Doctors Hospital.
"It's wonderful, it's emotionally wonderful," Chudgar said. "There are no words to say about that."
There are no words to describe a vision that is now taking shape for a building to help rebuild lives.
They will need about $2 million to get the respite home up and running. Chudgar contributed $500,000 and the rest is all coming with your help.
They say they hope to open up and start taking patients by April around the anniversary of Dr. Daksha Chudgar's death.

WAYNESBORO — The Potomac Street Irregulars, the crime study group of Antietam Historical Association, will meet at the Parlor House, South Potomac Shopping Center, at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 9.
The feature case for discussion is the murder of Betty Jane Kennedy, a 19-year-old Hagerstown waitress whose nude, strangled body was found near Old Route 16 on the mountain above Rouzerville in early April 1946.
Frank Bock will be lead detective for the meeting, but the discussion is open to all in attendance.
Because seating is limited, reservations are required by Sunday, April 7. To make reservations or for more information, call 762-2006 or e-mail:
There is no admission fee, but attendees are required to purchase dinner from the restaurant.
Case is unsolved
Despite many well-publicized leads, the Kennedy case remains unsolved. After the late J. Martin Benchoff discovered the corpse while riding near his father's mountain property, the case became national news. Police in Maryland and Pennsylvania questioned a number of suspects but never developed sufficient evidence to charge anyone with the homicide.
The Potomac Street Irregulars meet the second Tuesday of every month to study crime in the region of Maryland and Pennsylvania drained by Antietam Creek. Future meetings will focus on the 1830 massacre of the Newey family near Sabillasville and the Revolutionary War-era Shockey counterfeiting ring that was part of a network of outlaws operating throughout the Mid-Atlantic during the War for Independence.

The Barri Gòtic (the Gothic Quarter) was once the centre of a bustling Roman settlement. Today, it forms the core of 21st century Barcelona – the splendour of the ancient past coexists with a vibrant present. Follow enticing smells and sounds through a maze of narrow streets lined with bars and boutiques. Discover Roman ruins in the Musea d'Historia and spectacular medieval churches, like the Cathedral de la Santa Creu I Santa Eulalia. Then join the meandering throng along La Rambla, where street performers dazzle the crowd.
Designed by Ildefons Cerdà in the mid-19th century. This vibrant area is characterised by long straight streets on a grid system, with wide tree-lined avenues crossing through. The area starts along Passeig de Gracia, and Illa de la Discòrdia. A block famous for showcasing four of Barcelona's most important and distinctive Modernist architects. You'll be mesmerised by Gaudi's spectacular art nouveau Casa Batlló. And no trip to Barcelona would be complete without seeing La Sagrada Familia, which will be finally finished in 2026.
Visit Port Vell, Barcelona's harbour, and stroll along the waterfront. See the famous Frank Gehry 'Peix d'Or' sculpture in Port Olimpic. Villa Olimpic was built to provide housing for 1992 Olympic Games athletes. Today, you'll find chic chain hotels and restaurants, and even a casino. Beachfront bars and restaurants line the shoreline, with many different tastes catered for, from sushi to Moroccan. Visit the cool Barceloneta, with its strong working class identity. The beach here is lively in the spring-summer months, so take a bike ride along the promenade.
This lively, regenerated neighbourhood is a magnet for the city's trendsetters, attracting an eclectic mix of people. Its restaurants, clubs and cocktail bars are stylish but boast a friendly atmosphere. Medieval in origin, the finest monument is Palau de la Musica Catalan. While other popular attractions include Museu Picasso and Mercat de Santa Caterina – one of the city's oldest markets. Stop in Alos, known locally as La Ribera, for its fantastic boutique shopping and trendy café culture. Don't miss a 'Xoclata amb Xurro' for breakfast.
This urban up-and-coming area boasts some of Barcelona's most impressive modern architecture. Appealing to the alternative, artistic crowd, with hip hangouts and less touristy feel. A diverse area of Barcelona, international and eclectic – as you walk the streets you're hit by aromas of many cultures. Try exotic cuisine or local dishes, and stop at some of the Bohemian bars that preserve the aura of a bygone age. Maybe try an anise or two? Explore narrow streets abuzz with both popular nightspots and smaller venues, open through the night.
Les Corts is the financial district of Barcelona, so comes with accompanying skyscrapers. An expensive, modern area where the young and wealthy crowds gather. Sarrià, an independent town before being swallowed up, has its own charm. You will find upmarket homes and shops, and great restaurants. The barrio of Gràcia is one of the hippest and most vibrant areas in Barcelona, with its own laid-back style and some fantastic bars and restaurants. During August, Festa Major, the weeklong street party and festival dominates Gràcia.

ABC boss Paul Lee says he's "bullish" on Seth MacFarlane as host of the Academy Awards, despite his irreverent approach to comedy and the polarizing effect he can have on viewers.
"He brings a sense of joy. He wants to be there," Lee told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour Thursday. "He's one of the funniest writers in the world. He loves the show and has a lot of respect for it. ... I think he'll bring a real contemporary feel and have a lot of fun out there."
Early morning TV viewers received a small sampling of MacFarlane's tongue-in-cheek approach when he appeared with actress Emma Stone on Thursday to announce the Oscar nominations. Lee thought he was "fantastic" and was also encouraged by the number of popular movies that landed on the nomination list.
"I may be proven wrong, but I'm feeling good about (the show) and I'm feeling good about him," Lee said.
The Academy Awards will air Feb. 24 on ABC.
As for other business at ABC, Lee said, "We have a lot to shout about and we also have a lot to do."
Some tidbits from the ABC executive session:
"It turns out that people want to see bad dancing as much as they do good dancing," he said.
"If we do shows that guys like but women don't want to come to, that doesn't work for us," he said. Meanwhile, the failure of "666 Park Avenue" was a surprise because it had "tracked so well."
Lee called the script "great" and full of "funny male/female relationships and a lot of action." He believes the show, with Ming-Na in the lead role, will have plenty of family appeal.

Google invests in Glass chipmaker Himax
Published: Monday, July 22, 2013 at 7:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 22, 2013 at 7:33 a.m.
Google Inc. is investing in a Taiwanese microchip maker that makes chips used in its Google Glass, the eyeglass-enabled devices it is testing that can shoot photos and video and access the Internet.
The deal with Tainan, Taiwan-based Himax Technologies Inc. gives Google a 6.3 percent stake in the Himax Display Inc. subsidiary in the form of preferred shares. An option to buy more shares could eventually raise that stake to 14.8 percent.
Himax Technologies now owns 81.5 percent of Himax Display and says it will remain the subsidiary's majority shareholder.
The deal is expected to close this quarter. The companies did not put a value on it.
U.S.-traded shares of Himax Technologies rose $1, or 19 percent, to $6.17 in premarket trading. Google's shares rose $2.40 to $899.

Knitter's Review
August 16, 2007
We know our handknits are precious. But imagine knitting something out of a yarn that is, itself, made from a precious material. I review one such yarn this week, aptly named Sterling. It's brand new and spun here in the United States, and I'll let you guess what the precious material is.

Location: Plant And Animal Genetic Resources Preservation Research Unit
Project Number: 3012-21000-013-12
Start Date: Jan 16, 2013
End Date: Jul 31, 2016
This project will focus on the three main alfalfa seed and hay production areas in the Western United States: the Walla Walla valley and Columbia Basin in Washington, the Treasure Valley in Idaho and Oregon, and Fresno County in California. Monsanto has agreed to provide us with RRA location data and their event-specific PCR primers. We will be using greenhouse seedling assays and protein based, commercially available test strips to carry out qualitative tests for RRA presence in leaf, seed and hay samples acquired along the alfalfa production pathway. Positive tests will be confirmed using PCR. Geostatistical tools will be used to understand how pollen- and seed-mediated gene flow is influenced by landscape variables and a production-level gene flow model will be developed that industry can use to guide selection of specific co-existence strategies based on location, production environment and type of pollinator used.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi cross country teams will travel to Beaumont, Texas, Friday to compete at the Southland Conference Championships, hosted by Lamar. The men's 8k race will begin at 9 a.m. and the women's 6k race will follow at 10 a.m. at Tyrrell Park. The women's team is looking to defend their 2011 title while the men's team is hungry for their first title in school history. Last season, the women's team garnered their fourth title in five years while the men's team finished third.
Live Results: Results will be available here.
In the Running: The Islanders will face all nine of their conference opponents in both the men's and women's races.
Here's a look at the Southland teams ranked in the South Central regional rankings:
4. McNeese State
5. Lamar
7. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi
9. Stephen F. Austin
10. Central Arkansas
9. Stephen F. Austin
12. Sam Houston State
14. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi
15. McNeese State
Southland Titles: Last season, the women's team clinched their fourth title in five years, edging Stephen F. Austin by five points. Prior to that, the team placed second in 2010 at Beaumont, but won in 2007 and 2009 on their home course at West Guth Park and in 2008 in Nacogdoches. The Islanders have won a total of eight titles as a team out of 11 conference meets. Before joining the Southland, the Islanders won four as a Division I independent conference.
Two-Time Defending Champion: Two-time Southland Conference Champion and two-time reigning Southland Conference Athlete of the Year Patrick Kimeli, who qualified for the NCAA National Championships for the second straight year returns to the course. Last season, Kimeli helped lead the men's team to a third-place finish at the conference meet. The Eldoret, Kenya native clocked a time of 24:50.7 to edge Lamar's Matt Johnsen by seven-tenths of a second. In 2010, Kimeli won his first individual title in Beaumont with an 8k time of 24:47.0. He joins former Islander and current Assistant Coach Shadrack Songok as the only runners to win the individual 8k title consecutive years. Songok won the title in 2006 and 2007.
Against the Pack: The Islanders have faced several teams from the SLC this season. Both teams have faced Central Arkansas twice, once at the Islanders Splash and again at the Chile Pepper Festival. The men's team has faced Stephen F. Austin once, with the women facing them twice at Rice and the Chile Pepper Festival. The women's team has ran against McNeese State twice this season, once at the Rice Invite and again at the Chile Pepper, while the men's team only faced them at Rice. Both squads faced Lamar and Sam Houston State at the Rice Invite. At the Chile Pepper Festival both squads ran against Northwestern State and Oral Roberts.
Women's 6k: Senior BreAnna Briggs, junior Cecilia Jones, sophomores Vanessa Galindo, Jasmine Boutte, Kayla Fischer, Alexandria Rossi and freshmen Regina Salinas, Alexandra Fernandez, Ashley Mills are slated to compete in the 6k. Briggs is the only returner who ran at last season's conference championship. She clocked a 6k time of 22:23.5 to finish in 19th place.
Men's 8k: The men's team returns everyone from a team that placed third last season at the conference meet. Kimeli, along with seniors Daniel Barlow, Adrian Marquez, Jacob Abrego and sophomores Philipp Baar, Christoph Hintz, Paul Hansel, Valentinas Rudys and Brandon Lacy are set to run. Kimeli, Rudys, Baar and Hintz all return to the course from a year ago. Rudys and Baar finished back-to-back after Kimeli in 22nd and 23rd places, respectively. Rudys clocked an 8k time of 26:13.5 and Baar followed with a time of 26:13.6. Hintz finished in 25th place with a time of 26:15.9.
Islanders in the Rankings: In the latest USTFCCCA South Central Regional Rankings the Islanders women's team sits in 14th place while the men are ranked seventh. The men's team sits behind McNeese State (4th) and Lamar (5th) in the conference. The women's team sits behind Stephen F. Austin (9th) and Sam Houston State (12th) and ahead of McNeese State (15th).
Spotlight Runners: Briggs has earned Southland Cross Country Athlete of the Week honors twice this season.
Islanders Head Coach Shawn Flanagan is in his 12th season as the head coach of the Islanders cross country team and 32nd season as a Division I coach. Flanagan started the cross country program in 2000. He has won four Southland women's titles, four Independent women's titles and three Independent men's titles. Altogether, Flanagan holds 30 Conference titles as head coach, including the 19 conference titles he won at UTSA. He also sealed three conference titles as an assistant coach at the University of Texas, totaling 33 Conference Championships to his name.
2012 Season: This season the Islanders have performed well at their four meets. At the UTPA Bronc Relays, both the men and the women took the top spots. At the Rice Invite, the women's team placed third in the 4k and the men's team clocked a fourth-place finish in the 6k. At the Islanders Splash, the men and women both swept the top spot. The men's team clinched first place by one point over Southland opponent Central Arkansas, marking the third straight year the Islanders have won the Islanders Splash. The women's team also topped Central Arkansas to bring home the title, after finishing second at last year's Splash. Two weekends ago, the men's team made history at the Chile Pepper Festival, clocking a third-place finish out of 34 teams in the 10k at the 24th Annual Chile Pepper Festival, marking their best finish in school history at Agri Park. The women's team placed 21st out of 43 teams in the 6k and second in the Southland Conference.
Up Next: The Islanders will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., to compete in the NCAA South Central Regional on Fri., Nov. 9.

WILLIAMSBURG Ky. - The University of the Cumberlands (UC) Men's Basketball Patriots earned two hard fought victories last week at home against UVA-Wise and then #3 University of Pikeville. UC would then look to carry some momentum on the road this week, which has proven to be a tough place to go this season for any Mid-South Conference (MSC) team.
On Thursday, the Patriots would travel to take on a very talented St. Catharine College team. UC would find themselves in an early hole as they trailed St. Catharine 44-29 after the first 20 minutes of play. Although the Patriots played much more solid in the 2nd half, it was St. Catharine coming away with a victory by the score of 68-85. Benito Santiago, Jr. (Coamo, Puerto Rico) led UC with 20 points and 7 rebounds on the game. James Archie (Jackson, MS) would add 19 points off the bench.
On Saturday, the Patriots would travel to take on MSC nemesis Georgetown College in a tough MSC matchup. The first half was well in favor of the Tigers as they led by 18 points at the half 40-22. The Patriots played much better defensively in the 2nd half, but it still wasn't enough as UC fell to the Tigers 70-49. UC was led in the game by Steve Goins (Chicago, IL) with 14 points and 8 rebounds. Santiago, Jr. pitched in 11 points and 4 rebounds. UC only shot 27% from the floor in the game while the Tigers shot 52% on the night.
The Patriots will return home next week as they host NAIA #4 Lindsey Wilson College on Thursday and Campbellsville University on Saturday.

Embezzlement by definition is a crime committed by someone in a position of trust.It can be the loss of a small amount of money such as a couple of dollars taken from a cash register, or it can be a considerable sum stolen through an elaborate bookkeeping scheme.Thieves typically see themselves as smarter than those with whom they work and cunning enough to beat the system. Methods of embezzling are limited only by imagination.Here are some examples:- In the simplest situation, cash is received and the employee merely pockets it without recording the transaction. This type of theft is difficult to prevent or detect if the transaction is a cash sale, and no subsequent entry is necessary in receipt or accounts receivable records.- Somewhat more complicated is what's called lapping, which involves the temporary withholding of receipts for accounts receivable payments. In lapping, an employee who opens mail or otherwise receives cash and checks as payment holds out a $100 dollar cash payment made by Customer A. To avoid arousing suspicion on A's part, $100 is then taken from a $200 payment made by customer B a few days later. This is sent on, together with the necessary documentation, for processing and crediting to the account of A. The embezzler pockets the remaining $100, which increases the shortage to $200. A fraud of this nature can run on for years. Of course, it requires detailed record keeping by the embezzler in order to keep track of the shortage and transfer it from one account to another to avoid suspicion. Any indication that an employee is keeping personal records of business transactions outside your regular books of account should be looked into. If the embezzler also has access to accounts receivable records and statements, he or she is in a position to alter the statements mailed to customers. - Sometimes company bank accounts are used for check kiting. In fact, losses from some large check-kiting schemes have been great enough to cause a company to go broke. In the usual scheme, the check-kiter must be in the position to write checks on and make deposits in two or more bank accounts. One account could be the embezzler's personal account and the other a business checking account. If the embezzler has an accomplice in another business, two business accounts may be used. The check-kiter takes advantage of the time period (or "float"), which is the number of days between deposit of a check and collection of funds. Assuming that it takes three business days for checks to clear, a simple kite between two banks could be accomplished as follows: On Dec. 1, a check in the amount of $5,000 drawn on bank "A" is deposited in bank "B." On Dec. 2, the check kiter cashes a $5,000 check payable to cash and drawn on bank "B" with a teller at bank "B."Because the original kited check will be presented to bank "A" on Dec. 4, the check kiter on or before that date will deposit a $6,000 check drawn on bank "B" in bank "A" not only to insure payment of the original kited check but to increase the amount of the kite.As the process is repeated, the kited checks become larger, more cash is withdrawn, and the scheme can continue until the shortage is covered or the kite "breaks," which is when one of the banks refuses to honor a kited check because the funds on deposit are uncollected.- Occasionally an embezzler will added the names of relatives or fictitious individuals to the company payroll and thus enjoy several salary checks each week instead of one. - When a company becomes large enough that the owner-manager can no longer exercise personal surveillance of accounting activities, opportunities arise for a dishonest employee to set up a dummy supplier and falsify documentation of fictitious purchase transactions.Those are but a few examples, but there are dozens of ways a dishonest employee can defraud their employer. Purchasing agents can accept "kickbacks" from suppliers from purchasing goods at inflated prices. Salespeople and others can pad their expense accounts. Overtime can be falsely recorded. And so on ...

NASCAR Hall prepares to welcome Cotton Owens
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 8:47 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 8:47 p.m.
Auto racing legend Cotton Owens will be honored on Friday night in Charlotte as one of five new members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Cotton Owens: 1950-64 (driver); 1950-73 (owner), 168 starts, nine wins (38 wins as owner).
Rusty Wallace: 1980-2005, 706 starts, 55 wins.
Buck Baker: 1949-76, 636 starts, 46 wins.
Herb Thomas: 1949-62, 228 starts, 48 wins.
Leonard Wood: 1950-1999, 990 starts, 96 wins.
— NASCARHall.com
Owens, who died in June at age 88, will be inducted in the hall's fourth class with Rusty Wallace, Buck Baker, Herb Thomas and Leonard Wood.
Owens, who was born in Union but lived in and based his racing operation in Spartanburg throughout his career, was elected in May. He joins retired team owner Bud Moore and retired driver David Pearson as Spartanburg representatives in the hall.
Union mayor Harold E. Thompson issued a proclamation honoring Owens' accomplishments as a driver and team owner.
Owens built the first part of his racing legacy in the 1940s and 1950s on the old dirt tracks of the Modified series, where he won so often that he became known as the "King of the Modifieds."
Although he later moved on to NASCAR's Grand National (now Sprint Cup) series, he ocassionally returned to the Modified tracks.
Owens won nine times in Cup cars before evolving into team ownership in the early 1960s. He became a stalwart of Chrysler's stock car racing operation, teaming with Pearson to win eight races in 1964 and twice in the shortened (by a Chrysler boycott) 1965 season.
In 1966, he and Pearson won the Cup championship.
A major highlight of Owens' career came in 1970, when Buddy Baker drove an Owens-prepared Dodge Daytona to a speed of 200.447 miles per hour in a tire test at Talladega Superspeedway, marking the first official NASCAR lap over 200 mph.
It was a landmark achievement Owens later said was as meaningful to him as his championship.
Owens built Cup racers as late as the 1982 season, when he maintained a few cars for country singer Marty Robbins, a close friend who dabbled in NASCAR.
In 1998, as NASCAR celebrated its 50th anniversary, Owens was named one of the sport's top 50 drivers.

SEATTLE — The A's, faced with the likelihood of losing Jeff Francis to a waiver claim, traded the left-handed pitcher to the New York Yankees on Friday.
The A's also sent cash along with Francis in exchange for a player to be named later from the Yankees.
Oakland claimed Francis on waivers from Cincinnati May 18 and pitched sparingly — 0-1 with one save and a 6.08 ERA in nine games — before Oakland designated him for assignment when the A's needed to clear roster space for reliever Eric O'Flaherty he came off the disabled list.
Under baseball rules, the A's had 10 days after the DFA move to trade Francis, release him or sign him to a minor league deal if he cleared waivers.
Francis, who made one start for the Reds before moving to Oakland, is 0-2 with a 5.89 games overall.

Much of the growth has come in "the other 47" states outside the traditional wine country of California, Oregon and Washington. Today's wine country is Loudoun County as well as Charlottesville in Virginia, New York's Finger Lakes and Long Island, or Michigan's Old Mission Peninsula. Wine of some sort is produced in all 50 states.
This viticultural explosion is electrifying. New York had 118 licensed wineries at the end of 2000; by the end of last year there were 328. Maryland had 12 in 2000 and has 61 today. Virginia's list grew from 59 to 230 over the same period.
California still creates the vast majority of wine made in the United States, and three companies produce more than half of the wine Americans drink. But while Big Wine may dominate the market, the proliferation of small, family-owned, artisanal wineries throughout the country is driving the story of American wine. Even more important than this dramatic growth in numbers is the improvement in quality. Advances in viticulture, farming techniques and technology in the winery have helped make local wine better than ever before.
That story is captured in a new book, "American Wine: The Ultimate Companion to the Wines and Wineries of the United States," by Jancis Robinson and Linda Murphy (University of California Press). Robinson, the prolific British writer who was the first woman to achieve the prestigious master of wine certification, is a hero to wine geeks as the editor of the Oxford Companion to Wine and main author of the recent "Wine Grapes," an encyclopedic tome of biblical proportions. Murphy, based in Sonoma County, is the James Beard Award-winning former editor of the San Francisco Chronicle's Wine section.
The book follows a format similar to that of the "World Atlas of Wine," which Robinson co-authored with Hugh Johnson. There are richly detailed maps displaying the various sub-regions of Napa Valley and Sonoma County, allowing the reader to dig deep into history, geology and viticulture. Snapshots of each region give shout-outs to trailblazer winemakers, "steady hands" who produce consistently good wines, and superstars who are setting ever-higher standards. We meet the usual luminaries, such as Robert Mondavi and Paul Draper, but also young trendsetters such as Jared and Tracey Brandt of Donkey and Goat winery, or rock musician-turned-vintner Maynard James Keenan of Arizona Stronghold Vineyards.
Although much of the book concentrates on California, Oregon and Washington, as it should, the authors make it clear from the beginning that the story of American wine stretches from coast to coast. New York is covered in 16 pages, while Virginia garners eight.
In the preface, Robinson mentions "a few wines that either are or should be regarded as American classics." They are "the best Cabernets and Bordeaux blends from California, Washington, Virginia, and Long Island; the finest Pinot Noirs from Pacific-cooled California and Oregon; sumptuous Chardonnays from all over the country; subtle Syrah and other Rhone grape varieties from eastern Washington; admirably precise Rieslings from New York's Finger Lakes and, increasingly, Michigan. These are joined by bright-fruited Tempranillo from Texas and southern Oregon; and uniquely characterful Nortons from the Midwest."
At the turn of the millennium, only a few visionary winemakers might have put the words "Virginia" and "American classics" in the same sentence. That one of the world's most eminent wine writers does so today illustrates not only how far the Old Dominion's vintners have come but also how exciting is the story of modern American wine.

TRACY - A man was arrested and faces a variety of charges after police served search warrants Thursday at locations in Tracy and Dublin, authorities said.
Investigators from the Special Investigations Unit and other members of the Tracy Police Department searched Hi Times Tobacco in the 3300 block of North Tracy Boulevard and a residence in Dublin, authorities said. The searches were conducted as part of a months-long investigation into the distribution of narcotics through the storefront at the Tracy location, police said.
While searching the business, investigators found more than 600 vials of bath salts, which were described as a designer drug containing stimulant-like chemicals that mimic the effects of methamphetamine, authorities said. They also found more than $40,000 in cash, anabolic steroids, a gun and other illegal weapons, including brass knuckles, batons and butterfly knives, police said.
Iberhim Bechwati, 40, of Dublin was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance for sale, distribution of controlled substances, possession of a controlled substance while armed with a firearm, commission of a felony while armed, possession of metal knuckles for sale, possession of a billy club for sale and possession of a switchblade for sale, police said.

Auckland Sights
You can get around city center and the suburbs close to the harbor like Ponsonby, Devonport, and Parnell, on foot, by bus, and by ferry. Elsewhere, Auckland is not as easy to explore. The neighborhoods and suburbs sprawl from the Waitemata and Manukau harbors to rural areas, and complicated roads, frequent construction, and heavy traffic can make road travel a challenge. Still it's best to have
a car for getting between neighborhoods and some city center sights. What might look like an easy walking distance on a map can turn out to be a 20- to 30-minute hilly trek, and stringing a few of those together can get frustrating.
If you're nervous about driving on the left, especially when you first arrive, purchase a one-day Link Bus Pass that covers the inner-city neighborhoods and central business district (CBD) or, for a circuit of the main sights, a Discovery Pass. Take a bus to get acquainted with the city layout. Getting around Auckland by bus is easy and inexpensive. The region's bus services are coordinated through the Maxx Service, which is slowly moving the city's trains and ferries to an integrated ticketing system; its website can provide door-to-door information, including bus route numbers, to most places in the greater Auckland area. Timetables are available at most information centers.

Hi all,
I just upgraded to 1.90.1 after getting fed up with stuttering mkv playback to my Sony Bravia.
Played around with VLC. .mkv playback was much better.
The only problem is the video playback is stretched to fill the whole screen. There is a video scale slider which is set to 1.0 but changing that does nothing.
Is there a custom option i could set to play the files in their native aspect ratio on my bravia?
