I'm running pms 1.72.0 on a fresh installation of Windows 8 and have a problem with subtitles displaying out of sync.
I was watching the latest episode of Califonication and on my pc (CCCP codec pack) everything is synced perfectly, but my ps3 misses the first line and then all the remaining subtitles display 1-2 seconds ahead of time. Settings in pms are dafault which means it uses MEncoder. Tried with "alt. method of a/v sync" on and off.
Any ideas what might be the problem? It was the same with episodes of other series I watched yesterday. Where do I start looking?

text: I have a 2004 Tiger River bengal spa. A few weeks back I noticed the temperature in the tub had cooled down. At first I thought the circ. pump was out as I could not detect much flow from the outlet in the bottom of the tub. I pulled the panel off and the pump was running. I attached a piece of tubing to the ozonator connection on the discharge side of the pump and raised the tubing above the water level. I powered the tub up and had flow coming out of the tube. I also put a piece of plastic over the outlet in the tub and noticed I had flow there since the plastic would not stay over it. I put everything back as it was and pushed the reset on the heater just for the hell of it. The tub heated back up to 102 degrees and all was good. A week passed and I went on a 3 day trip. When I came back the water felt cool so I put a thermometer in it and it read 94 degrees with the tub set at 102 degrees. It has maintained 94 degrees now for two days but will not heat further. The only work I have done on the tub was I replaced a burnt heater board two years back. I live too far in the boonies for repair service at a resonable cost. Any ideas on whats going on? Thanks for the help.

Examples of pontificate in a sentence
We had to listen to her pontificate about the best way to raise children.
Did You Know?
In ancient Rome, the pontifices were powerful priests who administered the part of civil law that regulated relationships with the deities recognized by the state. Their name, pontifex, derives from the Latin words pons, meaning "bridge," and facere, meaning "to make," and some think it may have developed because the group was associated with a sacred bridge over the river Tiber (although there is no proof of that). With the rise of Catholicism, the title "pontifex" was transferred to the Pope and to Catholic bishops. Pontificate derives from "pontifex," and in its earliest English uses it referred to things associated with such prelates. By the early 1800s, "pontificate" was also being used derisively for individuals who spoke as if they had the authority of an ecclesiastic.
Origin and Etymology of pontificate
Medieval Latin pontificatus, past participle of pontificare, from Latin pontific-, pontifex
First Known Use: 1818

Isaac Bashevis Singer (Yiddish: יצחק באַשעװיס זינגער or יצחק בת־שבֿעס זינגער; pseudonym: Icek Hersz Zynger;[1] born 21 November 1902 as Icek Zynger, died 24 July 1991) was a Polish-American writer of short stories and novels in Yiddish; he used his mother's name in devising his penname "Bashevis" (son of Bathsheba). He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978.

Nobel lecture (1978)[edit]
- The storyteller and poet of our time, as in any other time, must be an entertainer of the spirit in the full sense of the word, not just a preacher of social or political ideals. There is no paradise for bored readers and no excuse for tedious literature that does not intrigue the reader, uplift him, give him the joy and the escape that true art always grants. Nevertheless, it is also true that the serious writer of our time must be deeply concerned about the problems of his generation. He cannot but see that the power of religion, especially belief in revelation, is weaker today than it was in any other epoch in human history. More and more children grow up without faith in God, without belief in reward and punishment, in the immortality of the soul and even in the validity of ethics. The genuine writer cannot ignore the fact that the family is losing its spiritual foundation.
- Not only has our generation lost faith in Providence but also in man himself, in his institutions and often in those who are nearest to him. In their despair a number of those who no longer have confidence in the leadership of our society look up to the writer, the master of words. They hope against hope that the man of talent and sensitivity can perhaps rescue civilization. Maybe there is a spark of the prophet in the artist after all.
- I have many times resigned myself to never finding a true way out. But a new hope always emerges telling me that it is not yet too late for all of us to take stock and make a decision. I was brought up to believe in free will.
- Although I came to doubt all revelation, I can never accept the idea that the Universe is a physical or chemical accident, a result of blind evolution. Even though I learned to recognize the lies, the clichés and the idolatries of the human mind, I still cling to some truths which I think all of us might accept some day. There must be a way for man to attain all possible pleasures, all the powers and knowledge that nature can grant him, and still serve God — a God who speaks in deeds, not in words, and whose vocabulary is the Cosmos.
- I am not ashamed to admit that I belong to those who fantasize that literature is capable of bringing new horizons and new perspectives — philosophical, religious, aesthetical and even social. In the history of old Jewish literature there was never any basic difference between the poet and the prophet. Our ancient poetry often became law and a way of life.
- Strange as these words may sound I often play with the idea that when all the social theories collapse and wars and revolutions leave humanity in utter gloom, the poet — whom Plato banned from his Republic — may rise up to save us all.
- One can find in the Yiddish tongue and in the Yiddish spirit expressions of pious joy, lust for life, longing for the Messiah, patience and deep appreciation of human individuality. There is a quiet humor in Yiddish and a gratitude for every day of life, every crumb of success, each encounter of love. The Yiddish mentality is not haughty. It does not take victory for granted. It does not demand and command but it muddles through, sneaks by, smuggles itself amidst the powers of destruction, knowing somewhere that God's plan for Creation is still at the very beginning.
- There are some who call Yiddish a dead language, but so was Hebrew called for two thousand years. It has been revived in our time in a most remarkable, almost miraculous way. Aramaic was certainly a dead language for centuries but then it brought to light the Zohar, a work of mysticism of sublime value.
- Yiddish has not yet said its last word. It contains treasures that have not been revealed to the eyes of the world. It was the tongue of martyrs and saints, of dreamers and Cabalists — rich in humor and in memories that mankind may never forget. In a figurative way, Yiddish is the wise and humble language of us all, the idiom of frightened and hopeful Humanity.

The winter months have been highly variable in terms of precipitation and temperature. One week would bring a winter thaw; the next, a cold spell. Minimum daily temperatures were -45 C or lower in northern Ontario.
Meanwhile, southern Ontario had maximum temperatures above 15 C, and new record highs were set January 11-13, and again on January 29 and 30.
Winter precipitation can be summed up as below-average snowpack conditions coupled with above-average rainfall events. Large rainfall totals were observed across southwest and central areas. In fact, for a number of locations throughout south central Ontario, this was the second-wettest January on record. Snowfall amounts for locations in the typical snowbelts off Georgian Bay were well below average in January and below average in February.
Habitat conditions are rated as fair in south central and southwest areas due to poor frost seal and moderate snowpack conditions. Northern Ontario has variable snowpack conditions but wetland levels appear to be good.
Inland wetlands are still covered in ice and snow, while some Great Lakes coastal zones have a combination of shallow ice cover or open water.
Of greatest concern, water levels are very low throughout the Great Lakes. Levels on lakes Huron and Michigan are the lowest they've been since record keeping began in 1918. The lakes are about 1 meter below their long-term average, which is drying out emergent coastal wetlands and revealing extended mudflats. Lakes Superior, Erie and Ontario are not as low but are still well below average for this time of year. The chief cause of these water level declines is a combination of reduced precipitation throughout their watersheds, as well as increased evaporation due to higher ambient temperatures over the last two decades. The short-term result could be poor migratory habitat for waterfowl using the Great Lakes for resting and feeding during their migration northward.
Due to relatively poor ice development throughout the nearshore areas of the Great Lakes, more waterfowl than normal overwintered in the area.

Bank of America reaches settlement with Fannie Mae
Published: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 9:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 9:07 a.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Bank of America has reached a settlement with Fannie Mae on residential mortgage loans sold by the bank and its Countrywide unit to the agency ahead of the nation's 2008 financial crisis.
The settlement includes a $3.6 billion payment to Fannie Mae. Bank of America will also buy back some of the loans sold to Fannie Mae for $6.75 billion.
Its stock gained more than 2 percent in premarket trading.
Bank of America bought Countrywide Financial Corp. in July 2008, just before the financial crisis. Countrywide was a giant in mortgage lending, but was also known for approving risky loans.
Bank of America Corp. also said Monday that it is also selling mortgage servicing rights on about 2 million loans.
The bank will take some charges, but expects "modestly positive" fourth-quarter earnings.

I have had continual problems with my wireless network in parts of the house. Not any more. This is the best by far wireless adapter I have tried, and I have tried a few.
Very easy to set up and produces an excellent signal reception. I have gone from a best a good signal to a consistent excellent now. Not the cheapest but hard to beat.

This adapter is top notch. Its fast and reliable. However, if you are running Windows 8 you will need to download drivers from TP Link. It would not install from the cd. I had previously contacted TP Link and they said it was compatible with Windows 8 so I was a bit peeved about it but after finding the W8 driver I downloaded to my laptop and copied to a memory stick and transferred to my new W8 desktop and it sprang into life. All good since. Here is the link to the W8 driver page at TP Link. Just copy and paste in your browser. http://uk.tp-link.com/common/promo/en/win8compatibility/

The best mogul skiers all showed up for the Freestyle Championships, but some of them didn't have far to travel.
Heavenly Foundation skiers Taryn Baker, Zach Shearer, Yamato Kashima, Joshua Sullivan and Shanti Payne were all contenders in the Sprint U.S. Freestyle Championships at Heavenly Mountain Resort this past weekend. The five South Tahoe skiers all competed in single moguls Friday and duals on Saturday.
The Championship course ripped down Gunbarrel, Heavenly's long, steep and mogul-covered face. It's one of the best mogul venues in the world, but warm temperatures baked the snow into mashed potatoes last weekend, making it deep and tricky to navigate.
Baker made it look too easy. She skied clean runs both days, finishing 17th in singles and 13th in duals.
"Awesome results for a 15-year-old in her first Nationals," coach Jere Crawford said.
Baker has dominated the mogul scene this season. The 15-year-old is undefeated in both single and dual mogul competitions in the Far West, and made the dual qualifying round amid a stacked field of U.S. Ski Team members. She skied her way into dual finals and was narrowly eliminated by Lane Stoltzner, who went on to claim fifth place.
Payne put it together when it counted with his gravity-defying airs to win 21st place in singles among a field of 66 of the best mogul skiers in the world.
Shearer wasn't far behind. He stepped up his game to land in 32nd place in singles, impressive results for a J-3.
Kashima had a couple of rough runs on the sticky snow, but still wowed the crowd with his patented gigantic truck driver loops.
"Sullivan ripped some great turns and went upstairs off the airs," Crawford said.

The hour King played was not the type of music (straight blues) most of the younger fans had interest in or excepted when they bought tickets so I guess I get it that some didn't really enjoy that part of the show (the kids around me started comlpaining to one another about 20 minutes into the BB appearance). Being a little older and straight blues being what lights my soul on fire, I was beside myself. Blues is what made me pick up the guitar in the first place.
From a guitar players standpoint it's my opionon BB's blues vocabulary is second to none and this night was no exception. He says more with less notes then anyone in the game. Again, younger people who just wanted to see smoke come off Trey's guitar in typical Trey fashion may never understand how impressive BB's playing is or was that night.
What I remember most was watching Trey's face and body language. I got the feeling Trey was so selective with his notes, as if he needed to show BB that he too can speak the blues. Trey looked and played like he had been preparing for this moment his whole life and wanted to impress BB the way a boy might want to impress his father. I might actually say he seemed nervous.
There have been many shows for me since and hopefully will be many more in the future and most of those will be standard good night/bad night Phish shows. This was a one time thing and I thank God that it happened in front of me.
Without BB this was another night in life of Phish. A good time with some great moments but the show wasn't going to be blogged about for a decade after as epic. So in the end, the only reason this show gets noticed is that one hour of straight blues.

After hearing of the food shortage Citizens Against Domestic Violence shelter was experiencing through a recent Lake Sun article, many local individuals and organizations immediately pitched in to help. One of those organizations was Columbia College-Lake of the Ozarks campus.
Faculty along with staff and students banded together in order to donate more than 30 bags of food to CADV.
"The staff at the CADV does heroic work every day for the Lake community and anything our campus can do to help further their mission of helping victims of domestic violence is vitally crucial," senior community and alumni relations coordinator Sam Fleury said.
According to CADV staff, donations have been pouring in. More than $700 in monetary donations along with large food donations have been brought in within a week. Big Surf also held a can tuna drive and raised 70 cans.
The latest donations are a huge help, but more is always needed. CADV is still desperately in need of meat and monetary donations toward their Save-A-Lot account. Paper products such as paper towels are also needed at this time.
Donations to the Save-A-Lot account can be made at Save-A-Lot in Camdenton. Other donations can be brought to the shelter located at 305 4th Street in Camdenton,
A community member is hosting a car wash fundraiser for the CADV food account on Saturday, July 20 from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. at Solid Rock at the Lake located at 1005 Jeffries Road in Osage Beach.
Columbia College continues to collect donations at its lake campus at 900 College Blvd. behind HyVee in Osage Beach. They plan on dropping the next round of supplies off on July 22.

26 Opinions
Love it to death but stopped using it -- why would an apple-branded app run so horribly slow and crash so much on a macbook pro?
Pages has become my favorite word processor and for desktop publishing. My company stationary designed using Pages.
How it work is amazing, it can make layout easier, no bloated toolbar like MS words.
On G4 iBook, Pages is work slower, also if you zoomed above 200% it will be get slower. Apple need to enhance its speed.
For private writing, TextEdit will do just fine. For writing that needs to be seen by others, on paper or as PDF, Pages does the job, and does it well, too. Lacks x-refs and bibliography tools, but is far prettier than the competition.
I'm starting to like it more and more now. It took a while to get used to.
It's good but really needs improving if it's to compare to Microsoft Word, I was very disappointed to see that Pages 2.0 still didn't have any form of Grammar checking when iWork '06 was announced and CPU usage can quickly get out of hand when working on A3 sized documents with tables - I had to do a product life span poster for work and when I used Pages the application became very slow and sluggish whist munching up my CPU power. Still, for £50 iWork is a bargain but there is quite a bit of work that still needs to be done.
Absolutely brilliant. NOT for if you favour a traditional word processor. But I wrote my dissertation in it (70 pages!) and all my coursework. It's layout features are just amazing.
OK for small things, but I would not write a document more than 10 pages long in it.
While the many palettes for edition are less clunky than the toolbars of MS Word, they take more space and eventually can get in your way rather easily, even on a 17" widescreen.
As a wordprocessor it does not suck, but its usage is quite different from MS Word, and you might get frustrated at first if you expect it to act like its more expensive and complete sibling. Hopefully the next version will address more than a few of the issues you may encounter in Pages '06.
Performance is reasonnable on any intel Mac, tables might slow down the older G4 machines.
I'm still using version 1 .... it is slow at times on my iBook G4/1.2Ghz The best program for laying out scientific posters ever, though. I'll wait until iWork '07 and then upgrade. I've decided to buy the iLife/iWork yearly updates only every other year.
Years ahead of office. I use it all the time. 1000/5 stars. (it is that good.)

To mark the opening of the exhibit The Fifth Province: County Societies in Irish America at the Irish Consulate in New York, co-curator Dr. Miriam Nyhan discussed the changing role of New York's Irish county societies with CAHIR O'DOHERTY.
You can no longer make the kind of journey to America that your grandparents' generation did. That involved American wakes, creaking ships or first plane rides, and it included the possibility it might be the last time you ever set eyes on your loved ones at home.
The unspeakable personal cost of those separations is the subject of a thousand Irish ballads, as are the challenges of what happened once they arrived. Those once in a lifetime voyages to the U.S. also involved finding your feet in a new nation, at a time when most Irish people might not have ventured two miles beyond their own townland in their whole lives.
Nowadays, of course, those kinds of journeys are no longer possible – but the memory of them, like the echoes of the Famine and the Civil War, live in all of us, and are a part of the Irish DNA.
No one in America has lived or recorded the challenges and opportunities faced by generations of the Irish quite like the various Irish county associations. For decades, and in many cases centuries, they have worked to recreate a sense of home, community and belonging through social, cultural and sporting events that have transformed and occasionally even saved the lives of the generations who joined them.
It's not sentimentality to say that they were a blessing. The facts reveal how much they helped, publically and privately, to extend protective and benevolent assistance to thousands of hard working Irish people who made America their new home.
New York claims the largest cluster of these county societies, and it claims the oldest ones too, but the impulse to share the experience with others like themselves is one that has marked the Irish, no matter where they have settled in the world.
This month Dr. Miriam Nyhan, a faculty fellow and assistant professor at Glucksman Ireland House at New York University, has co-curated, with NYU's Dr. Marion Casey, a groundbreaking new exhibition that celebrates the lifetime commitment that many Irish men and women have made to their own heritage (and its preservation) through their membership in county societies.
In her research Nyhan focused primarily on the 1950s Irish immigrants who settled in New York and London, but her work gave her an overview of the recent history of the societies too.
Unsurprisingly, since she's made them her subject, Nyhan admits she's a deep admirer of the work they do.
"I was interested in the lost record of the Irish, because there hasn't been much research done on the Irish county societies here or the generation of immigrants who came here after World War II," Nyhan told the Irish Voice. "At first I was interested in the London Irish, but pretty quickly I decided to make it comparative and chose New York."
The question Nyhan asked herself was, as an intending immigrant to London or New York in the middle of last century, how would her experiences have been different?
"Irish county societies have been around in New York since the 1840s and they've had peaks and valleys. Closer to us in time, they enjoyed revivals during the 1940s though the early 1960s and that era probably was their heyday," says Nyhan.
The point of them, and the reason for their success, was that they provided a familiar focus for the Irish arriving in New York. Predominantly, these were rural Irish people arriving in the teeming metropolis, and the county society's made the place feel a little smaller, a little more like home.
There was an important benevolent aspect to their work too. When members got sick (in an era before any kind of social health care) they were provided for (death benefits in terms of burial expenses were taken care of too).
"For the majority of people it was a social and cultural space to come together and meet up and perhaps meet their future partners and in the process they made the big city a lot more manageable," says Nyhan.
They were a homogenous group, those mid-century Irish immigrants, in terms of their backgrounds and attitudes. Most were rural, single, and had not completed second level education.
For the majority who joined, membership was casual and usually revolved around the annual dinner dance once a year, and marching with their county contingent on St. Patrick's Day.
The GAA, the church, Communion breakfasts, dinner dances -- these were the signature events were thousands of single young Irish people met up often for the first time.
"You can only understand an immigrant if you understand where they came from and what their social context and outlook was," says Nyhan. "County societies are very reflective of that history. That's why I chose them."

Weatherstripping at 1A Auto
What is automotive weatherstripping and where is it located?
Automotive weatherstripping, also commonly referred to as weatherstrips, weather seals, or just seals, plays a major role in sealing the inside of your vehicle and keeping it protected from all of the various outside elements like rain, snow, dirt, wind and other debris. Weatherstrips are made of a rubber material and seal along all of the edges of your car or truck's doors, windows, windshield, trunk, hood, etc., so that nothing can enter the vehicle or get out through the gaps. They are most commonly held into place using one or a combination of these items, depending on the application: weatherstrip adhesive, clips, glue, screws, and pressure.
There are many different types of weather seals available for automobiles these days and that's because over the past 100 years all kinds of makes and models have rolled off of the assembly lines. The type and location of weatherstripping on a vehicle is dependent on the particular make and model. Generally speaking, a car or truck will at the very least have door, window, windshield, roof, trunk / rear hatch / tailgate and some type of body weatherstripping. To learn more, here is an in-depth guide that provides details on most of the different types of weatherstripping you will find on cars and trucks these days.
When are replacement weatherstrips needed?
Replacing worn weatherstrips is crucial for everything from giving your classic car or truck that like new appearance, to keeping the interior of your daily driver dry. If your vehicle is suffering from excessive wind noise, rain leakage, or an abundance of outside elements finding their way into it, then replacement automotive weatherstripping is needed as soon as possible. You certainly do not want to be driving around during a rainstorm and have water dripping on your head.
How do I know what weatherstrips I need?
Weatherstrips vary from vehicle to vehicle. Weatherstripping on older cars can be a bit more complicated than newer cars. Below is a list of common weatherstrip terminology and where they fit.
Door Seals: There are 2 basic types of door seals: sedan or coupe door seals, and hardtop or
convertible seals. Sedan door seals usually attach to the door, or sometimes the door opening,
following along the whole perimeter of the door. If your car is a sedan, it will have a metal frame all
the way around the side window glass. Unlike a sedan, hardtop and convertible cars do not have a
metal frame going all the way around the side glass. Hardtop and convertible door seals attach to the
doors and run along the sides and bottom edges of the door.
roofrail seals run up the windshield pillar, along the roofline all the way down to the bottom side of
the front or quarter side window. These weatherstrips seal the top of the side windows when they are
rolled all the way up. Convertible roofrail seals are also called convertible top seals. Convertible top
roofrail seals usually come in multiple pieces and attach to the sides of the convertible top frame.
These weatherstrips seal the top of the side windows when they are rolled all the way up.
Windshield Seals: The windshield weatherstrip is the rubber seal that surrounds the entire windshield
glass in its entirety. Some vehicles have windshields that are glued to the car with the windshield
weatherstrip laid on top of it, while other vehicles need the windshield weatherstripping installed at the
same time as the windshield itself, which means it cannot be installed after the fact.
found on some pre-1958 cars, almost all convertible models and some Corvettes. The windshield
pillar seals attach to the windshield pillar and seal either the vent window glass frame, or front of the
side glass to the windshield pillar.
Header Seals: Windshield or convertible top header seals are only found on convertible cars, or targa
top Corvette coupes. The windshield header seal usually attaches to the front edge of the convertible
top frame and seals the front of the convertible top to the top of the windshield frame.
Window Sweeps: Window sweeps are also often called window felts, window seals, window whiskers, or
belt seals. Window sweeps attach on the outside to the top of the door and/or quarter panel, and on
the inside to the top edge of the interior door panel. The window sweeps "sweep" against the glass
when the windows are rolled up or down, and help prevent water and debris from getting into the door
and or quarter panel.
Window Channel Seals: Window channel seals, also referred to as window run channel seals, attach to
the insides of the door window frame. The door glass then rolls up into them.
Hood to Cowl Seals: The hood to cowl seal attaches to the top of the firewall cowl, and seals the back
edge of the hood to the cowl when closed.
Trunk Seals and Rear Hatch Seals: Trunk seals attach to the body of the car and seal the trunk lid to
the body. On a hatchback car the rear hatch seal also usually attaches to the body of the car and
seals the rear hatch when closed.
Can I replace the weatherstripping myself?
Weatherstripping can be replaced by the novice do-it-yourselfer. Before you start, be sure to line up the weatherstripping to the dimensions of your current strip to make sure it's going to fit. Some weatherstrips may use screws, but most of the time they can be pried off by hand. It's a good idea to replace one side at a time. Most weatherstrips are replaced in pairs. Replacing one weatherstrip at a time allows you to check how the original was attached, which provides a valuable reference. If your weather seals use adhesive to attach, take the time to ensure all of the old adhesive has been removed. Then wipe down the weather channel and new weatherstrips. For reinstallation, be sure to apply a fresh coat of adhesive to the weather channel. Gently push the weatherstrip into place, make sure it's aligned properly, and then apply firm pressure to it. If you removed any screws, insert them back into place. Give time to let the adhesive dry, and once finished, you should be free from any outside nuisance once again.

The Neosho Lady Wildcats dominated the first quarter, but struggled the rest of the way as they fell to the Marshfield Lady Bluejays, 72-48, in varsity girls' basketball action at Marshfield High School on Wednesday.
The Lady Wildcats (4-3) answered the bell at the opening tip and built a 14-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Lady Bluejays (3-1) responded with a solid run to begin the second quarter and the Lady Wildcats never responded.
Marshfield went on to outscore Neosho 26-8 in the second, 18-9 in the third and then added 21 points in the fourth to keep the Lady Wildcats at bay.
"We never really responded to their run," Neosho coach Lance Robbins said. "They kept up the defensive pressure and we did not handle it well."
Morgan Rogers led the Lady Wildcats with 18 points, while Emily Harrell chipped in 10, Chelsey Henry seven, Brooke Stauffer, Whitney Wise and Addi Long had three each and Sydney Linny contributed two.
Van Diggelen led Marshfield with 17 points.
The Lady Wildcats begin play in the Neosho Holiday Classic next Thursday.
Marshfield also won the B game, 50-33.
Linny led Neosho with eight points.

At 35 he became bishop of Geneva. While administering his diocese he continued to preach, hear confessions and catechize the children. His gentle character was a great asset in winning souls. He practiced his own axiom, "A spoonful of honey attracts more flies than a barrelful of vinegar."
Besides his two well-known books, the Introduction to the Devout Life and A Treatise on the Love of God, he wrote many pamphlets and carried on a vast correspondence. For his writings, he has been named patron of the Catholic Press. His writings, filled with his characteristic gentle spirit, are addressed to lay people. He wants to make them understand that they too are called to be saints. As he wrote in The Introduction to the Devout Life: "It is an error, or rather a heresy, to say devotion is incompatible with the life of a soldier, a tradesman, a prince, or a married woman.... It has happened that many have lost perfection in the desert who had preserved it in the world. "
In spite of his busy and comparatively short life, he had time to collaborate with another saint, Jane Frances de Chantal (August 12), in the work of establishing the Sisters of the Visitation. These women were to practice the virtues exemplified in Mary's visit to Elizabeth: humility, piety and mutual charity. They at first engaged to a limited degree in works of mercy for the poor and the sick. Today, while some communities conduct schools, others live a strictly contemplative life.

All Things D: RIM Takes a Bath on NewBay Sale
(This story was first posted on The Wall Street Journal Digital Network's AllThingsD site at http://allthingsd.com.)
By John Paczkowski
Research In Motion has finally found a buyer for NewBay, the provider of white-label cloud-based content services it acquired last October for a price somewhere around $100 million.
Synchronoss Technologies has agreed to buy the company from RIM, though at a price significantly lower than the struggling handset maker paid for it: $55.5 million.
That's quite a discount, with RIM eating roughly half of the cost of the original acquisition. It's a bittersweet transaction for the company, which was at last able to sell off an asset it had been looking to unload, just at a lousy price.

SANTA CLARA -- Left tackle Joe Staley had more business to tend to Thursday than just showing up for the 49ers' ribbon-cutting ceremony at Levi's Stadium. Staley also signed a two-year extension through 2019.
Well aware that tight end Vernon Davis and guard Alex Boone also want new deals, Staley declined to compare his situation with theirs, especially in terms of his showing up throughout offseason workouts while Boone and Davis boycotted them.
"Every single contract situation is different," Staley said on a media conference call. "What's right for me may not be right for someone else."
Staley, 29, knew he had that contract waiting to sign upon exiting the stadium.
Staley said his contract negotiations were "an ongoing thing" and that he deserved a new deal because he's a "different player" from what he was in 2009, when he signed his last extension (six years, $43 million) after only two seasons in the league.
"In today's NFL, it is rare for a player to play his entire career with one team," general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. "With this extension, Joe will likely be a 49er for life."
Staley said playing for one team his entire career is a goal he set as a rookie, along with winning a Super Bowl. That championship goal is something he thinks the 49ers must pursue with "an extra sense of urgency" upon reporting to training camp next Wednesday.
Staley's primary job duty could remain the same throughout the remainder of his career: protect Colin Kaepernick, who signed his own extension last month (six years, $126 million).
"I was super ecstatic when I saw he was extended," Staley said. " ... To protect his blind side for the years to come is something I take great pride in."
Staley also vouched for Boone and Davis as "very talented players." Both have two years remaining on their contracts.
"Alex Boone is someone I have the utmost respect for and hope we can play our entire career together," Staley said. "It's his situation, and whatever he wants to get done, I have confidence he and the Niners will work it out."
Staley complimented 49ers ownership earlier in the day as to how the $1.3 billion stadium might help the team obtain more quality players.
"It translates a lot," Staley said of the stadium, "because of what it can do in free agency. We have the ideal weather, facilities, ownership, a great team, great players.
"You know the organization will do what it can to take care of players."
Staley is coming off his third straight Pro Bowl season. He's been a starter since his 2007 rookie year, when the 49ers drafted him in the first round out of Central Michigan.
Staley was due to make $2.7 million in salary this season.
"He is a three-time (Pro Bowler) and core member of our football team," Baalke continued. "His commitment and professionalism have been great assets to our team and our community. This extension reflects our philosophy of investing in our core players."
Joining Lattimore on the non-football-injury list are wide receiver Bruce Ellington, center Marcus Martin, running back Trey Millard, defensive back Keith Reaser and guard Brandon Thomas. The latter three are recovering from knee surgeries, while Lattimore is attempting to do so as well from his 2012 injury.
The reasons for Ellington and Martin going on NFI are undisclosed.
Outside linebacker Aaron Lynch (hamstring) and defensive tackle Kaleb Ramsey (undisclosed) were placed on the physically-unable-to-perform list.
Rookies and first-year players reported Wednesday.

The Warriors' Jermaine O'Neal should have been whistled for goaltending on the play that preceded Stephen Curry's game-winning buzzer beater in Golden State's 122-120 overtime victory at Dallas, the NBA announced Wednesday.
"Upon review at the league office, we have found that a shot taken by Dallas' Monta Ellis with 16.0 seconds remaining in overtime was on the way down when initially contacted and ruled a block by Golden State's Jermaine O'Neal, and should have been ruled a goaltend," NBA president of basketball operations Rod Thorn said in a statement. "The exact trajectory of the ball when touched was impossible to ascertain with the naked eye, and the play was not reviewable."
O'Neal came over and helped Klay Thompson on the play with the block that the 18-year veteran said after the game was close to being goaltending but wasn't.
"You see I blocked it, grabbed it and outletted it," O'Neal said. "There's no way they could have called that because when your hand is on top of the ball, that's a good block."
On the other end of the court, Curry hit a jump shot with a tenth of a second left to win the game. Dallas, which entered the game as the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, dropped to ninth with the loss.

Scott Stevens, a well known radio personality in Meridian, was recently coerced into a bet by his morning show co-host, Lisa Temple. It was all for a good cause, of course.
The 200th anniversary of the can gave LOVE's Kitchen and V93.5 a chance to raise canned good donations. If the box was filled by Wednesday, Scott's chest was to be waxed.
"We filled the box and then some, so I am getting my chest waxed lived on the radio," said Stevens, who is also operations manager, Thursday morning.
Odd stakes for a bet but there was reason to this madness. The co-hosts were having a debate. Who endures more pain in life? Women or men?
"There have been a lot of comments about the pains that women go through, and I don't think guys believe it that much," said Temple.
"I don't think it is going to be that bad," said Stevens.
But after a few painful rips and screams, maybe he has changed his mind.
"It's all for LOVE's Kitchen; it's all for LOVE's Kitchen," winced Scott. "It's just a little more excruciating than I gave it credit for."
Perhaps that silences the comment board on who experiences more pain through life?
"It is great for somebody to have to go through some pain. Even though that is very painful, it just doesn't compare to being hungry," said Fannie Johnson, director of LOVE's Kitchen. "So we appreciate him going through some physical pain to help those that go through a much worse pain every day.""
The publicity brought on by the bet did bring in a lot of donations but LOVE's Kitchen will always need more to give more.
You may make donations to LOVE's Kitchen at 801 18th Avenue, or contact the agency at 601-693-1409. You may also find more information at its website. A link is provided below.

With few solid leads, North Augusta Public Safety is relying on some high tech tools from surrounding departments. Crimeteam 12 has more on how these other agencies are helping with the search.
A helicopter came in from Columbia, South Carolina with infrared technology to let the helicopter crew see body heat. And a team of bloodhounds from the city of Aiken is also on the job, trying to catch the shooter's scent.
Out in the woods and in abandoned houses are areas with many places to hide. And many places to look. So seeing everthing from a helicopter above helps.
It's got a heat-sensing instrument. It's able to pick up heat from any source from
below," Said Sargent Tim Pearson
The South Carolina Law enforcement division, or SLED, has choppers ready to deploy at a moment's notice. They can see any living thing from above because body heat forms the image. Satellite photos also help them plan their course.
This time they had to search the area on foot, heavily armed, to see if the gunman was hiding out.
After they cleared the first house, they were tipped off by a neighbor about a second house that's right back there in the woods.
Police rely on tips, but this tip was a dead end.
Hounds are another option in the search. Bloodhounds are a breed that naturally hunt in packs by scent. They can sniff a person out of almost any house or building
"In yesterday's case, they suspected a possible track from a scene." "If we get any kind of lead that would necessitate bringing that in, we would use that as a resource." Said Sgt. Tim Pearson.
By bloodhound, helicopter, or foot, police leave no stone unturned.
SLED uses a system called forward looking infrared. This was originally developed for the Military, and some argue it is actually better than night vision. It forms images from infrared energy, so it works in complete darkness or when the path to an object is partly blocked.

Hi there,
I'm using PMS 1.52.1 with my PS3. Until now everything has been going perfectly. However, for the last week or so, without any updates, after 1.5hours it disconnects my wireless card and doesn't allow me to reconnect to my network again. Subsequently, I am forced to restart both laptop and ps3 to create another connection.
My wireless card is a centrino advanced-n 6205
I use PMS 1.52.1 because this is the only PMS that I can manage to play .mkv files on my ps3.
I am not sure exactly which information to post here, but I would be more than glad to if somebody pointed out what is needed to resolve this issue.
Kind regards,
edit: I would like to add, that it ALWAYS stops at 1.5hours no matter how large the file I'm playing is.

Twelve people were forced to find somewhere else to stay after a fire in their apartment building overnight.
The Cincinnati fire department says the fire was reported at 2:00 a.m. in an apartment building at 5615 Beechmont Avenue in Mount Washington.
Firefighters determined the fire was coming from the basement of the building and were able to extinguish it in about 20 minutes.
Fire crews estimate about $50,000 in damage.
The Red Cross is helping the 12 people who were displaced from six units in that building.
Investigators have not determined the cause of the fire.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony returned to the West Coast for the first time in 20 years.
And, boy, was it ever a good time.
Hip-hop heroes Public Enemy, disco queen Donna Summer, prog-rock champions Rush, singer-songwriter Randy Newman, classic rockers Heart, blues giant Albert King, the multitalented Quincy Jones and producer extraordinaire Lou Adler were inducted on Thursday night at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles.
Here are the 11 best moments of the show:
1. "I Love L.A." -- The show kicked off in highly appropriate fashion, with John Fogerty, Jackson Browne and Tom Petty joining Randy Newman for an triumphant version of his anthem "I Love L.A." And, yes, we loved it.
2. Traffic -- No, not the band. I'm talking about actual vehicle traffic, which is one of L.A.'s true calling cards. It was an absolute zoo getting to the venue. That sure wasn't one of the highlights. Yet, it sure was funny to hear that even celebrities have to deal with traffic. "It took me a 1 ½ hours to get here," Don Henley said while inducting Newman into the Hall. "Never go Olympic (Boulevard)."
3. Royal talent -- Carole King performed a tender version of "So Far Away" in honor of Adler, who produced the singer-songwriter's monumental "Tapestry."
4. Fret work -- John Mayer and Gary Clark, Jr. took the stage in tribute to the late Albert King and traded licks on "Born Under a Bad Sign." Mayer would also deliver King's induction speech and did a great job describing the guitarist's legendary sound. "It's kind of like a surfer riding the top of a wave," he said of how King would bend a particular note. "It just kind of stops time."
5. Summer Time -- Jennifer Hudson delivered powerful versions of "Last Dance" and "Bad Girls." She was mighty good, but still not quite in the league of the original model — Donna Summer. It reminded me just how fortunate I am to have seen the "Queen of Disco" in concert.
6. The Oprah show -- The celebrity factor rocketed through the roof when none other than Oprah Winfrey showed up and gave a heartfelt induction speech for Quincy Jones. "You are a marvel," she said to Jones. "And everybody knows it."
7. Public Enemy -- The best hip-hop band of all time put on a fantastic set. Chuck D, one of the greatest MCs to ever hold a microphone, led the band through such tunes as "Bring the Noise" and "Fight the Power." The set was so good that it nearly erased our memory of Flava Flav's lengthy, meandering acceptance speech, which drew some boos from the crowd.
8. Rush fans -- Yes, they were the ones booing Flava, going so far as to chant "Rush! Rush! Rush!" during an acceptance speech that seemed like it might never end. (To be fair, they certainly weren't the only ones in the house who wished Flav would stop talking.) In general, however, the Rush fans were a hoot. They were the most vocal and passionate contingent at the ceremony, relishing the fact that their favorite band had (finally) gained admittance to the Hall.
9. Seattle's best -- Pearl Jam's Mike McCready, Alice In Chains' Jerry Cantrell and Soundgarden's Chris Cornell joined Heart for an all-star, all-Seattle, take on "Barracuda."
10. The funniest man in rock -- Dave Grohl gave a hilarious induction speech for Rush, which referenced numerous inexplicable events in rock 'n' roll history. "There's one that eclipses them all," he said. "When the (expletive) did Rush become cool?"
11. All-star jam -- Ever think you'd see Neal Peart back Chuck D onstage? How about Grohl and Fogerty share vocal duties while Tom Morello and Alex Lifeson traded licks? Those things happened, and so much more, during the all-star jam that closed the show.

News 12 First at Five, October 9, 2008
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga.---Chuck Hockinson has been riding public transit for about a year. He uses it to go to the doctor, and to buy his groceries. "It's been a big help. It's been like a crutch for me," says Chuck.
A crutch, and a more affordable way for Columbia County citizens to travel. "They see it's a better deal to ride with us at those gas prices and we've seen a spike in that," says Marvy Durden, a dispatcher for Public Transit.
With the spike, the county recently agreed to spend $10,000 on four new buses to replace the oldest ones. The state and federal DOT's are covering the rest of the cost.
Now this isn't your average bus transportation. They take you anywhere you want to go even to your own house.
"They love the fact that they can sit in their living room and watch and wait until we pull up and pick them up instead of having to go somewhere and sit at a bus stop," says Marvy.
And that's not the only thing they love. "They're always on time, I love that about them. I can't drive, so they get me where I need to go," says Priscilla Post, a regular rider.
At $6.00 and $9.00 dollars per round trip, Chuck says, the price can't be beat. "It's very reasonable. As a matter of fact, it's been the best I've seen yet," says Chuck.
While the bus may not be full, the schedule is. Going from stop to stop. To get on the list, you've got to call early. "If they need to have an appointment on Friday and they call on a Thursday, sometimes we fill up so fast that we can't accommodate them because that's how much we're growing," says Marvy.
And Chuck isn't against them growing, or offering the service over the weekend too. "If they switch over to weekends, I'll probably use it on weekends too," says Chuck.
Now anyone who lives in Columbia County can use this service. They do drive into Richmond County and can take you all the way to Gordon Highway.
To make an appointment, call Public Transit at 706-556-0807. The cost is $6.00 round trip if you are more than 60 years old, $9.00 if you are less than 60. Children 12 and under are $2.00 round trip and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

The spirit of old-time Montparnasse lingers in the atmosphere of Hotel Édouard VI.
Faithful to the spirit of this district – which embodied early twentieth-century cultural and intellectual life – the hotel abounds with hints of the bohemian charm of the Golden Age of the "Montparnos".
Drawing inspiration from the world of the artists of the day, the fully renovated hotel has taken up the theme of creativity. The unashamedly Parisian setting is characterised by an interplay of colours and highlights, creating a subtle contrast with the soft tones of the Venetian stucco walls. There are also elegant contemporary notes, cleverly setting off the classical tradition.
At the heart of the lively, with-it Montparnasse district, featuring myriad restaurants, typically Parisian brasseries, theatres and cinemas, the hotel maintains a refined, cosy authenticity that will win over guests staying as tourists, on business trips – or simply for a retail therapy break!
Ideally situated at the foot of the Montparnasse Tower, Hotel Édouard VI will give you a warm, attentive welcome – and will be delighted to have you stay.

Two astronauts are far from Earth aboard a terribly damaged spacecraft. Their life support is failing; there is not enough oxygen to reach home. One of them must die, or both will...
This hackneyed scenario appears in hundreds of movies about soldiers, firefighters, longtime friends and the like. It has a predictable ending, because Hollywood loves a noble sacrifice. So let's change things up a bit: one of our intrepid space travelers has the ability to kill the other in a way her companion cannot counter.
Welcome to one of the wilder shores to which the 40-year-old Roe v. Wade decision delivered us. Consider the introduction a metaphor for the moral dilemmas sometimes encountered by the fact of human biology: for a time, two persons share the same body. And one has the power of life or death over the other.
The origins and history of Roe v. Wade are well-known, as is its impact on our society: by the time you have finished reading this column, 36 abortions will have taken place in the United States. According to statistics from the Guttmacher Institute, this day will see at least 55 elective abortions destroying viable infants in the womb; two of these will involve third-trimester abortions. A more perfect illustration of the perils of poking about in the "Penumbras of the Constitution" is hard to imagine.
The Roe decision is deeply schizophrenic. In producing the court's decision, Justice Blackmun takes the reader on a torturous tour through the history of thought about when a fetus becomes a human being; he appropriates the Stoics, Aristotle, Hippocrates, St. Thomas Aquinas, Blackstone - and ends where he began: the state is not competent to judge.
This would seem to support the argument that women are free to obtain an abortion without restraint, since limitations imposed by state laws (the point in Roe) would violate one's "privacy," which the Justice notes helpfully, "is found nowhere in the Constitution."
But Blackmun immediately backpedals, stating "with this, we do not agree." And elaborates that, although there is a "right" to abortion that is beyond the law, "...the right, nonetheless, is not absolute, and is subject to some limitations..." So in the Supreme Court's view, the law cannot prevent abortions - except when it can.
The justice offers some insight into factors which might render abortion permissible in the court's eyes. The most damning? A pregnancy that "may force upon the woman a distressful life and future." Or when "...continuing stigma of unwed motherhood may be involved."
Distress? Stigma? How quaint. In our more enlightened times, who worries about those things? And we are more direct: if one's pregnancy is a bother, end it. Personal freedom is more important than anything else. Right?
The problem with Roe v. Wade is, at its base, not a problem of law. It is a problem of moral vision. As an illustration may I present my third grandchild, Emma, who may be born by the time you read this. Many fanatical supporters of abortion argue that, to protect "a woman's right to choose," it is perfectly acceptable for a doctor to dismember an unborn child at her stage of development in the womb, extracting the parts with surgical clamps. It happens twice a day in our country.
What is moral about protecting women's rights through infanticide? How did we get here?
Conversely, those who argue that a fetus, at whatever stage of development, is a person within the definition of the law not only have a very difficult case Constitutionally - as all justices writing in Roe v. Wade noted - but also in terms of anticipated consequences.
A miscarriage causes horrific personal anguish. Should a grief-stricken family have to suffer the additional pain of a police investigation to determine the cause of death? If a fetus is a legal person - and, given the circumstances, a complete invalid in the care of another - how can such a death not be investigated, to determine the caregiver's degree of culpability? Any drinking involved? Drug use? Smoking? One can only imagine the results...
So, no. Ultimately the problem of when a human becomes human, and consequently of abortion, lies beyond the world of law; those looking at it strictly in those terms are looking in the wrong direction. This is one of the imponderables, involving as it does life, death, and moral judgment. Roe v. Wade may have made abortion in all its forms legal, but it did nothing to address the real question: is it right?
And that is an entirely different matter.
