I have been using PS3 Media Server for a long time, but never actually had it all clear how it works.
I played around a little bit this evening, and some questions have arised that I hope probably someone here could answer.
I can start mentioning i'm running the latest beta (r412) on Windows Vista, Phenom II X3 270 (2,8Ghz), 4GB memory and gigabit-connection directly from the PC to the PS3.
PS3 Media Server is configured with lossless MPEG2 Mencoder transcoding profile (1-1-1) and multi-core Mencoder experimental build enabled.
1. I really dont have the need for bandwitdh limiting, because im on gigabit, however im curious if gigabit is really needed so I changed to 100Mbit NIC and started experimenting with the AVI 1080P Bunny-sample (have heard it's a pretty good stress test, atleast at some parts in the beginning).
I started out with 0 limiting, which worked on gigabit (pendin between 50 and 200Mbps), but started to stutter on 100 mbit connection. Thats reasonable, and doesnt need explanation. However, I do wonder why the CPU starts working harder (ie 70-90% pending instead of 40-60%) when for example limiting to 50, or 80Mbps, in Mencoder settings?
2. I was curious how much the three cores and/or multi-core Mencoder experimental build combination did to up the performance, so I swithced it off one by one. Guess what? Everything played as smootlhy as with it enabled, is this working as it should? With three cores enabled in PS3 Media Server my CPU shows in Vista task-manager 80-90% utilization but with one core selected it shows 40-50% only! But as I said, the Bunny sample do play exactly as smootly at a pretty constant limit of 40-50Mbps showing on PS3 OSD. Explanation please?
The only big difference in PS3 Media Server that I can notice is when on gigabit, without any limiting, the 600MB buffer fills upp pretty rapidly even before the movie starts streaming on the PS3, but, with limiting at 50Mbps and/or disabling extra CPU cores it struggles a bit, allthough it do hold the buffer partly filled (20-40% going up and down).
So my conclusion is, if the majority of movies is not more demanding then this Rabbit sample it should be enough on my setup (even without the extra cores) with only 100Mbps connection and maximum quality settings. What still amazes is my though is that the CPU seem to have to work harder with three cores enabled, then with one core!

Knitter's Review
April 5, 2007
Last week I reviewed a book that contained 101 patterns that could be knit up using one skein of yarn. The one-skein notion can be especially attractive with yarns that cost more than $30 per skein. This week I review one such yarn, a glorious and colorful silky concoction from Artyarns called Silk Rhapsody.
And now the fun part. Next week I'll have a one-skein Silk Rhapsody shawl pattern, just for you!

that was a fast reply. I haven't read the books, but from what I've heard from the jack-asses on my school bus he is. either way, I'm not reading it.
So let me get this straight: a jackass refers to somebody else as a jackass and you took that for face value? Of course, this may be a triple inception of a jackass calling a dude a jackass that calls a fictional character a jackass.

My AAU team sucks and we have lost every game in every single tournament. Me and a few of my friends are the only ones that score and try, but there are other guys that are really bad. I want to start winning some games. Any advice?
where are you from..???
PLay better.
No matter how much work, effort, practice, etc you put in as a team. If you lack natural ability or skill you won't go anywhere. Haha, look at the Charlotte Bobcats. They practice and work 24/7 but they have no good players so they only won 7 games.. Join a different team!!
You are only as strong as your weakest player. There isn't much you can do for your losing streak. You need to remember that games cannot be won with just one or two players; it takes a whole team (5 players, coaches, and even those on the sidelines). You can become a better basketball player by pushing yourself to do new things in the games and working extremely hard on your own, but if your main concern is just winning games, you might as well join another team.
how many other guys bad? why they are bad? find the reason and imporve it, the most important is to be better of youself...remember the KD lost most of games in the first 2 years when he came to Oklahoma Thunders, but now they beat lakers in playoff.Good Luck!
Every situation you experience in life is to help you grow as an athlete, and as a person. I think there is enough finger pointing in the world. My advice is for you and the other players that have talent, to find a way to strengthen the weaker players. This is a true test of leadership. Don't get down on the others. This is a great time for you to be a leader by example. You don't need to be cocky, or act like you're the best player. Simply demonstrate your passion and willingness to work hard, and to try and help your teammates and encourage them. I realize this may be difficult with players that might not care in the first place. Sometimes players act like they don't care because they are not confident. It's a defense mechanism for athletes.
Believe me, when you move from the minority on your team to the majority, those players that once did not work hard, will pick up their game. You must have patience, a strong will, and a selfless approach to making your team better.
Coach Beez
Yo, what up fools?: It's me, " THE MAN " , Zac Ryan. Even though I'm a cartoon character, I can still ball chump! So if you like basketball, then come check me out and read all my comic strips at:
I'm out.
Be a leader. Set high standards for others, and even higher standards for yourself. Show that you are willing to work. If for some reasons your teammates are mad at you and refuse to listen to you, make amends. Ask your coach for an increased role as a leader, and ask him to be brutally honest. This is the time to look in the mirror and ask yourself "Am I really doing everything I can to help this team succeed?" Very few people can honestly say yes. Remind your teammates that if you work hard, you can be great.
Your fellow student of the game,
Tough D
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

My 8th grade team won 0 games, including a tournament, but it got better in highschool. Next year will be better?
You and maybe your few friends that should join a new (and better) AAU team.
Message was edited by: Mason Moreland
Don't make the games a win/lose situation.....I know that's hard because of our competitive nature but, just try to find "Good" in all of your games. Just try to improve a little bit....better passes, better screens, more hustle, these are things that YOU can control. Like it's been said a thousand times before, handle what U can! Now you say that you and a "couple" of your teamates are good....Maybe you should get a second opinion on how GOOD you and those other friends are......just cause you are in the position to score alot doesn't mean that you're better than other teamates.....maybe they need to get the chance......but all in all if the team just totally sucks then remember this.......you guys win AND lose as a TEAM!.....for example Christian Lateneer was one of the greatest players in college basketball history....No one found out that he wasn't that Great until he went to the NBA....so keep practicing and get better until YOU and those couple of FRIENDS can CARRY the whole team.....3 ALL-STARS and 2 scrubs should at least be competitive!

An Irish mother in Queens is asking anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of her 49-year-old daughter who went missing a year ago to contact her immediately.
Kathleen Meehan, a County Cork native, is reaching out to members of the public in an effort to locate her daughter, Catherine (Cathy) Meehan Wray, after she left the country a year ago and hasn't been heard from since
Meehan, who came to the U.S. in 1955, married a County Kerry man John and had three children, Tommy, Mary and Cathy, has spent the past 12 months sitting by the phone waiting for her oldest child, Cathy, 49, to make contact.
Wray, a stockbroker and registered nurse, last spoke to her father on June 7, 2008. She told him she was going to Ohio.
Meehan remembers the call only too well.
"We were up in our home in the country [Greenville, New York]. Cathy didn't seem to want to talk to me but she spoke to her father and told him she was going to Ohio. And as far as I know she didn't know anyone there," Meehan said.
Wray went to Ohio but returned two days later. On June 16 she asked the doorman of her building to hold her mail because she going away and would be back at the end of the summer.
That was the last time anyone saw her.
It was later discovered that Wray flew from New York to Geneva, Switzerland that same day.
"I just don't know what is going on or what to do. Cathy has never been in touch and it's heartbreaking to not know where she is or if she is okay," said Meehan. "I just wish to God she would call."
Family's last sighting
The last time Meehan saw her daughter was at their family home in Middlevillage, Queens about a month before she left. "She let on that everything was good but I could read between the lines that it wasn't," remembers the Cork woman.
There wasn't a word or a trace from Wray until she cashed a check in France last August.
"There has been no paper trail since August," said Meehan.
Meehan, unable to sit idly by anymore, enlisted the help of County Cork-born, New York-based private investigator Olwyn Triggs.
According to Triggs' investigation, Wray contacted her real estate agent in September and told her she was traveling to Switzerland and staying at a beautiful place.
"The post mark on the Fed Ex envelope that arrived in New York with the apartment keys matched this statement," said Triggs, who is on the case pro bono.
Tragic death of Cathy's husband
Wray was married to a handsome stockbroker, Mike Wray, a relation of the famous actress Martha Wray. They had a beautiful apartment in downtown Manhattan, and although they had no children, they were blissfully happy for the 10 years of their marriage.
However, eight years into their marriage, Mike was diagnosed with a brain tumor and died two years later in December 2001. Wray, who nursed her husband for two years before he passed away, never got over his death.
"When Mike passed away Cathy found it very difficult to cope. She was heartbroken and couldn't deal with his death," recalls Meehan. "She just was not herself ever since."
Trying to bring some normality back into her life after her husband's death, Wray took over his seat in the New York stock exchange – a seat he held for 25 years – but his death was too much for her. She had to give up his seat after some time.
Up until her disappearance, Meehan said she saw her daughter quite frequently and spoke to her nearly on a daily basis on the phone.
"We were worried about her you know, we were always trying to get her to move on from Mike's death. Then she would get angry with us because we were not backing her," Meehan said sadly.
Wray's state of mind was becoming more fragile as time went on.
"She seemed to get a touch of a breakdown and she thought everyone was talking about her. I guess she was paranoid," said Meehan.
A healing trip to Ireland
In an effort to help her daughter heal after Mike's death, Meehan and her other daughter Mary took Wray to Ireland.
"We were trying to cheer her up, you know. We went for three weeks and toured around and stayed in Kerry for 10 days. She really did love it and loved going back to where her father was from."
Meehan has also contacted a missing persons organization in Ireland for help, but they have come up with nothing either.
Wray's luxurious apartment in Hanover Square, downtown Manhattan, was sold at auction last week for a mere $349,000. According to Meehan it is worth three times that.
"She wasn't making any payments so the bank took it over and put it up for auction. It's so sad and it's a beautiful apartment," said Meehan, who with the help of her family cleaned out most of her daughters belongings.
Since her daughter's sudden disappearance, Meehan said every thought imaginable has gone through her mind.

MODESTO, Calif. (AP) — Modesto police arrested 12 people at two businesses that authorities say were fronts for illegal gambling operations.
The Modesto Bee reports that local and state authorities on Thursday raided the businesses, Andthen.com and LinkNet, which had advertised as an Internet cafe and a computer services company.
Sgt. Ivan Valencia told the newspaper that neither business was offering the services they advertised, and were instead allowing people to gamble at all hours.
Detectives seized 63 computers and $8,000 in cash.
The raid came after neighbors complained about public intoxication, fights and gang activity around the businesses.
Neighbor Nancy Breshears applauded the police, saying people were afraid to go to nearby businesses because of the people who hung out at the alleged gambling parlors.

SAN FRANCISCO -- It was a surprise to many that linebacker Aldon Smith played in the 49ers' 27-7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. But moments after the game concluded, 49ers CEO Jed York announced that Smith would be taking an indefinite leave to seek substance abuse treatment and won't be joining the team on its trip to St. Louis to face the NFC West rival Rams on Thursday night.
Smith started Sunday's game despite being arrested a little more than 48 hours earlier on suspicion of drunken driving. How long he could be out or what penalties still might be pending with the NFL were not immediately known.
Smith and York addressed the media at Candlestick Park, with Smith issuing a brief statement in which he apologized to the 49ers and his family for letting them down and admitted that he has a "problem."
"It's something I will get fixed," Smith said, while standing before a media crowd in front of his locker. "I'll do everything in my power to make sure this never happens again."
Smith did not field any questions. A minute or so later, York stood before the media.
"In talking with Aldon and knowing what he wants to do, there's not a one-day fix," York said. "This is a long-term fix. We support Aldon, and Aldon's willing to fight for himself and try to make this right."
Smith reportedly had a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 percent, or nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08, when he crashed into a tree in front of a house in San Jose on Friday morning.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King said Sunday that Smith will enter an inpatient facility early next week. York refused to divulge specifics of Smith's intentions during his leave.
The 49ers came under fire when they allowed Smith to practice Friday afternoon, a short time after Smith posted bail and was released from jail. They also got criticized for allowing Smith to play Sunday.
Former NFL coach Tony Dungy, a commentator on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" telecasts, was asked if he would have played Smith.
"I would not have. Number one, to help Aldon Smith, and get him some help right away. Number two, send a message to your team," Dungy said. "We're not going to have these types of incidents on a Friday before a game. I think Jim Harbaugh could have sent a stronger message."
Defensive tackle Ray McDonald said he had no qualms with the 49ers' decision to let Smith play and defended Smith's character.
"I know Aldon as a teammate and a friend," McDonald said. "He's a great guy. Sometimes things happen in life. People make mistakes. People want to come down on him because he's one of the best in the league. They need to look in the mirror, because we're all human and all make mistakes."
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Smith played Sunday because "it's a decision we made."
Strong safety Donte Whitner said Smith playing Sunday didn't pose a distraction.
"I don't think guys were out there thinking about Aldon (Smith) getting arrested," Whitner said.
Now the 49ers face the prospect of playing the Rams without Smith and inside linebacker Patrick Willis, who suffered a groin injury Sunday.
York said he understands that the 49ers, York, general manager Trent Baalke and Harbaugh are going to take heat for the way they handled the situation.
"I will stand here and I will take any shots that anybody wants to write (about) the organization," York said.
Ultimately, the 49ers say they acted in a manner that they felt was in the best interests of Smith.
"As an organization, we talked to him," York said. "We feel like, again, there was no right decision, there was no right way to do it. But this was in our opinion the best way to do it."
York said he and others in the organization believed it was best for everyone involved that Smith faced the media and his teammates.
In addition, "paying him to sit when he's going to seek treatment in the future" didn't make sense, York said.
Smith played the entire game. He finished with five tackles, but no sacks, as the 49ers lost their second straight game.

Detox Reviews
Detox: that's a word you hear often these days. Even though the word may sound a little scary—it's actually a very good process that needs to take place within the body on a regular basis. What exactly is a detox? Over time, our systems become bogged down with toxins and poisons due to ingested chemical additives, or pollutants we are exposed to, as well as heavy metal toxicity—such as aluminum or mercury. These pollutants clog our systems and can cause some major damage.
As we age, or as we are exposed to toxic substances over and over, our built-in detox factory, called the liver, gets bogged down trying to do its job—break down harmful substances and pass them out of the body through the digestive system. If you are feeling sluggish and tired all the time, are having skin problems, or find you just can't fight off colds and the flu—chances are you need to detox. Many times you will hear the terms 'detox' and 'cleanse' used interchangeably. That's because they are the same thing. Cleansing your body of these toxins will restore your energy and clear up many of your chronic problems.
So how does detoxing work in weight loss? You will find an abundance of detox supplements on this website that all promise to do the same thing—help you cleanse your body of toxins and to help you lose weight. Detoxing or cleansing is crucial to weight loss in that it helps remove built-up waste material in the colon—which allows for more proper digestion, and once your colon is cleansed you can absorb nutrients and supplements into your bloodstream more quickly—allowing your body to better utilize the weight loss supplements, drinks, and foods in your diet regimen.

Alarm clock prompts Palm Beach airport evacuation.
Published: Sunday, August 4, 2013 at 7:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 4, 2013 at 7:27 a.m.
WEST PALM BEACH - Turns out the beeping sound coming from a suspicious baggage at a West Palm Beach airport that prompted a brief evacuation was no cause for alarm.
Authorities say the sound was coming from a bag at the Silver Airlines ticket counter at the Palm Beach International Airport. The bag was unattended, prompting officials to evacuate the area on Saturday.
Airport spokeswoman Sandy Davis told the Palm Beach Post that explosive experts were called to the scene because officials "deemed it needed more investigation." Officials later determined the bag had an alarm clock inside that was making the beeping sound.
Some flights were delayed during the investigation.

Magda Milewska's children like to play. But toys are accumulating and, without a designated playroom, she finds herself tripping over them.
She was looking forward to the approaching date when her upstairs tenant was to move out and renovations to create a basement playroom could begin.
"Right now the house is a huge mess," Milewska said recently. "We are so overwhelmed with toys and baby stuff. We can't set up my son's electric train because upstairs there's simply no room. I keep asking him to clean his room, but he just doesn't have anywhere to put all his toys."
Milewska considers play essential to every child's development, and Lucy Malagisi, an interior designer and mother of two, couldn't agree more. She says that while today's playrooms might be a little different from the rumpus rooms of the 1950s (for example, most parents factor in a place for game consoles now) the basic principle is the same.
"Playrooms are always a great asset for any child, no matter the age," says Malagisi, who has 12- and 14-year-old sons. "If you have toddlers or older teenagers, they always need a space of their own."
Generally speaking, basements are chosen as sites for playrooms. There are pros and cons to this, Malagisi says, since having a playroom downstairs means parents can be relatively secure in the knowledge the children will stay put. If they're really young, however, they need to be within parental earshot; having them in a basement playroom might not be conducive to parental supervision. When her second son was born and her oldest was a still a toddler, for example, Malagisi decided to transform her dining room into the playroom.
"We weren't doing any formal entertaining and the room was better used for the children. It allowed me to have the children close and, meanwhile, still be able to tend to some chores."
Either by choice or necessity, Malagisi says, we may choose to have our children's playrooms closer to where the adult activities are, regardless of whether or not we have basements.
"You have to think of what kind of space you have and what the needs of the children are."
Jennifer Bell's home in Point St. Charles, Que., has a finished basement, but the mother of two says most of the playing has always happened in the living room.
Her 15-year-old son, Robin, is autistic and doesn't really play on his own. Bell says that's what set the tone for how her house is organized. "The kids both hang out in their rooms," she says. But when it comes to communal family time, "we generally play in the living room because the piano is there and it's often the focal point of Robin's play."
Both Bell and her husband, Bill Mahar, are professional musicians so it's no wonder the children are also musically inclined. Along with the piano, the living room is home to a ukulele, banjo, bugle and tuba, for family jams.
Malagisi says that in renovating a home to include a playroom, it's important to pay attention to what the children really like to play with. She cites a client whose daughter is into gymnastics. The lucky girl's mom has devoted an entire corner of the basement to acrobatic structures.
In her own basement, she has a music corner for her husband's and son's drum kits, an area with a big couch for the children to play Xbox, a place to exercise on the treadmill, bike or rowing machine (discreetly tucked behind long curtains), and an office area complete with a foldaway desk. Her basement also features a wide-open space where the boys play hockey with miniature sticks or roll out the ping-pong table.
Malagisi is currently helping a client renovate a rumpus room that really does hark back to the 1950s, complete with a bar for mom and dad.
"Whether it's the basement, an extra room that is being transformed, a portion of a room or the child's own bedroom, the steps are always the same," she says. "Examine the needs, use inspiration to help plan out the space, and always make sure that everything has a place so cleanup is easy."

Louis Porter with the Conservation Law Foundation spent a lot of time after Irene drawing attention to the devastation caused by the tropical storm.
But he knew there were other stories out there, places where things worked the way they were supposed to and Irene's impacts weren't as great.
He took Conservation Correspondent Bridget Butler to look at one of these places along the Otter Creek where conservation of habitats and an extensive floodplain helped to absorb the storm.

Project Number: 5062-22000-024-02
Start Date: Dec 15, 2013
End Date: Nov 14, 2016
1) Secretory pathways utilized for trichothecene export will be identified by a combination of tagging native trafficking proteins with fluorescent proteins and directed mutagenesis. Trafficking and sequestration of trichothecenes will be directly measured using fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy, infrared chemical imaging and physical organellar fractionation. 2) Functional genomic methodologies will be used to delete and over-express all known Fusarium multidrug resistance proteins responding to induction of trichothecene biosynthesis in order to determine their relative contribution to overcoming toxicity. 3) With input from the cooperator, genes responsible to trichothecene tolerance as determined in Fusarium will be expressed in transgenic wheat to determine if they function similarly.

No review can do justice to this experience, but I'll try. It was my 22nd birthday, and the night of the first Phish.Net gathering, so the atmosphere for me was particularly giddy. But anyone there at the time would have been thrown by the relentless spontaneity.
The second set of this show is routinely listed among "must have"
recordings. There was magic in the air starting with the first set the previous night. But mere minutes into this set, it was clear that things were going a step higher. It is perhaps the most debated of Phish setlists, with so many overlays and reprises that any two fans probably list it differently. For its time, the twists and turns were religious. A cadre of diehards, front and center, scrambled with pens and scratched their heads trying to keep track of the setlist. One Matt Laurence ultimately gave a blank stare and tossed his paper into the air.
The show so stood out from others of its time that its popularity inflated its status for many years to follow. (The availability of high-quality soundboards furthered both the popularity and the status.) In retrospect, the improvisation was relatively tame, and the energy (as conveyed on tape) was higher at other shows of the same era.
Granted, many aspects of Phish shows (and life generally) are impossible to record. But the site of Fishman naked, or the band exploding a drumkit, are imaginable. For anyone who has seen Phish in recent years, the mystique of restless song shifts is probably more confounding than compelling. But for anyone who was there that night, or who saw shows or has heard tapes from that era, the flow is laudable. It wasn't the best Phish show ever, but itwas one of the best ones to experience - a beautiful buzz.

OAKLAND -- The facts that routinely accompany the violence that plagues Oakland's inner-city streets were on display in a courtroom Tuesday as a murder trial against a teenager began.
It includes underage boys using guns to solve squabbles. Witnesses refusing to speak to law enforcement out of fear of street retribution. And, sadly, the dead body of an 18-year-old found lying on a sidewalk in front of an apartment building, shot to death in the middle of the day.
"Unfortunately, this is not something that is unusual," Deputy District Attorney Amilcar Butch Ford told the jury. "These teenage boys are out at that apartment just playing with guns like it's a game."
That "game" resulted in Casey Turner, who was 15 years old at the time of the incident, facing life in prison for allegedly killing James Allen Jr., 18, and wounding two others during a gunbattle on March 27, 2010.
Turner, now 18, was charged as an adult.
According to Ford, Turner shot Allen and the two others who were with him as they exited from a walkway of an apartment building at 2124 90th Ave. in East Oakland.
At the time, police said the shooting was the result of a spat Allen and Turner were having over a girl Allen once dated.
Ford said he will prove to the jury that Turner was the teen who opened the gunbattle as he waited across the street for Allen and his friends to leave the apartment building. While Allen also fired a gun during the battle, Ford said Turner fired first, making him guilty of first-degree murder.
But the case against Turner relies on testimony from witnesses, many of whom do not want to cooperate with investigators, Ford said. Many of the witnesses, Ford said, have been forced to appear in court under threats of arrest and are fearful of being labeled "snitches" for cooperating.
"The reason they are nervous is because they are not supposed to tell what happened," Ford said.
One such witness testified Tuesday but said he couldn't remember key details of the shooting. The 17-year-old, who Ford requested not be identified, had previously told police that Turner shot first and that his friend Allen fired back with a gun Allen had showed him earlier that day.
But on the witness stand, the 17-year-old said he couldn't remember if Allen had a gun or who shot first.
"I don't know where the bullets were coming from, I just heard gunshots and I ran," the teenager said. "I ran because a bullet ain't got no name on it."
The witness, who is also named in the criminal complaint filed against Turner as being a victim of attempted murder, said he believed he was shot at because the hoodie he was wearing had a bullet hole in it. But the witness said he threw the hoodie in the garbage.
Other witnesses expected to testify in the case include a woman who lived in the apartment building and who told police she saw Turner run from the scene after the shooting.
Another witness is Allen's friend Burnett Raven, who was also shot in the gunbattle and identified Turner as the shooter. Raven, 19, however, will not testify during the trial because he is on life-support at a hospital after being shot recently in an unrelated incident.
Yet, Ford said, he will still be able to prove the case to the jury.
"The issue is who shot first," Ford said. "Casey Turner started the fight."
Turner's attorney, Darryl Billups, declined to give an opening statement Tuesday.

Whether you're a novice photographer or a seasoned pro, there's a compact digital camera that's right for you. Luckily, you don't have to break your budget to capture impressive photos and videos, tests show. Good budget-priced cameras can be had for under $200, while full-featured digital cameras start at around $450.
There are three main types of cameras:
To find the best digital cameras, professional testers shoot photos and videos in all kinds of situations -- glaring sun, murky darkness, fast-action sports, intense close-ups -- and then inspect them closely for telltale flaws. They take note of how easy the cameras are to use, how durable and how full-featured. The editors examine reviews from several excellent photography websites, including DPReviews and Amateur Photographer magazine. Owner reviews are key, too; sometimes real-life use reveals flaws the pros don't find. We scour reviews to find out which cameras satisfy experts and owners best.
The intended audience for the cameras in the best digital camera category range from beginners to photography enthusiasts, sometimes in the same camera. All three of these cameras are customizable, to varying degrees, so you can configure them to your own shooting style.
Our Best Reviewed digital camera is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II (Est. $630). The DSC-RX100 II builds on the success of the previous model, the original Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 (Est. $440), which is still available and a runner up in this category. On its release, the original RX100 was lauded as "the best pocket camera ever made," by The New York Times' David Pogue, and Time magazine named it as one of the best inventions of 2012. The DSC RX100 II model has a lot to live up to, and it does beautifully.
There's strong agreement among reviewers that the image quality of the RX100 II is the best in the compact camera class. The new backlit sensor is especially effective in low-light conditions and at high ISO speeds. The JPEGs have good color and clear detail, but the video receives average reviews. Although the RX100 II is aimed at the more experienced photographer, and there's enough opportunity for customization to support this, there are 11 pre-optimized scene settings for those who prefer just to point and shoot.
The body of the RX100 II is of the same solid construction as the first RX100, but there are some flimsy parts that may cause difficulties -- namely, the pop-up flash and the battery door. It's also a little slippery to hold. This camera can grow with its user's needs as the hot shoe allows for the addition of accessories that include an electronic viewfinder and a remote trigger.
The question that many reviewers ask is whether the added features of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II are worth the added cost over the original DSC-RX100 model. Many answer that it's up to the individual to decide, but some say that it's worth it for the Wi-Fi connectivity, an improved sensor, a tilting screen and a hot shoe for accessories. If these features aren't that important to you, then consider purchasing the original Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100. You'll still get a large sensor for excellent photo quality, 20 megapixels and a 10 frames per second burst rate. The RX100 is also designed for enthusiast photographers, and less experienced users may have difficulty customizing the menu for the physical buttons.
A close runner up to the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II is the Ricoh GR (Est. $750) digital camera. Although long popular in Asia, this is one of Ricoh's first forays into the U.S. market (the company purchased Pentax). Reviewers place the Ricoh GR in a niche for enthusiast photographers who want a pocketable camera with a wide-aperture lens. The range of advanced features, extensive customization and accessories (optical viewfinder, external flash, etc.) offer lots to play with for the knowledgeable user. Experts agree photos produced by this camera are "near DSLR" quality, with the JPEG images having an impressive level of detail. But it's with RAW images that the Ricoh proves its worth, with well-controlled noise and no banding. The Ricoh GR is best suited for those shooting stills as its video capability is good but limited.
If you've outgrown your digital camera but don't want to move into the DSLR arena, then a bridge camera may be what you're looking for. Fitting in between compact cameras and full-blown DSLRs, bridge cameras offer some of the same user friendliness and accessibility of point-and-shoot models yet encompass some of the manual settings and physical controls of a DSLR. Admittedly, bridge cameras usually aren't pocket-size, but they're still smaller and easier to handle than a DSLR camera.
Our Best Reviewed advanced camera is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 (Est. $1,000). Experts find the DSC-RX10 difficult to categorize beyond it being a bridge camera, but they're in agreement that it's unique and unlike anything else on the market. The DSC-RX10 is not a small camera, as it has to hold a large sensor and a significant 8.3x super-zoom lens. The RX10 is highly customizable -- although there's only one dedicated custom button, many others can have different functions assigned to them. But it's the image quality of the RX10 that earns it rave reviews. Still images are on a par with those from DSLR cameras, especially in RAW mode. And, unlike any other digital camera, the RX10 also produces truly excellent quality videos. There is a great selection of supporting features to let you make the most of your videos, including step-less aperture control, headphone and microphone sockets, and a full array of HD frame rates. This is a premium bridge camera that videographers should consider.

it's more recent, faster by a few percents (something like 3, maybe 4 % here), and more compatible with some m2ts

Speed is not my concern, stability is. And I watched Journey to the Center of the Earth with it yesterday, all highest quality and max bitrate, and it didn't crash for a change. Nor did I experience any xvid-like quality in dark spots or anything. It was, for lack of a better word, flawless.

BERKELEY -- A futuristic GPS device, given the task of locating a solution for today's transportation-energy versus environmental-sustainability battle instead of an address, might very well lead to the new, five-story, $133 million biofuels research building located near the northwest edge of the UC Berkeley campus.
There, the Energy Biosciences Institute, established in 2007 by international oil and gas company BP as a public-private partnership with UC Berkeley and now including the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is leading the race to develop nonfood, liquid biofuels.
The move into the trapezoidal facility, targeted to receive the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Gold Certification, strikes a number of winning notes, according to Managing Director Susan Jenkins.
"Our previous attempts to locate near LBNL in the Berkeley hills had homeowners concerned about traffic and proper use of the land," Jenkins says, in an interview following a tour of the building. "When the opportunity came to use the site of an abandoned California state health department building, we realized it was a viable option."
Beyond viable, it was a chance to capitalize on lower construction costs in a rough economy, consolidate over 300 researchers in one place, and create a 21st century, environmentally smart lab.
Project Manager Sally McGarrahan lists the building's special features, noting the inclusion of "Pass-through air systems, automated fume hood ventilation with dropping sashes, lighting controls sensitive to occupancy and location within the building, translucent sun shades ...."
There's more, but the blindingly white walls, automatic roll-down shades in glass-windowed offices, minus-80-degree freezers and sleek, highly-insulating exterior all add up to signature style for SmithGroupJJR, the firm that also designed the Bay Area's $49.5 million Molecular Foundry for LBNL and the University of California at San Francisco's $254 million Smith Cardiovascular Research Building.
While an attractive, well-conceived shell garners architectural awards, a research facility is judged according to different standards.
"Institutes funded by the Department of Energy are having the highest impact on biofuels," Jenkins says, naming comparable research centers across the nation. "But those others don't have standalone areas devoted to environmental sciences. They keep it in mind, but here, we fund it directly."
EBI's original allocation of resources into five divisions, collectively aimed at developing commercially-viable alternatives to the use of human food feedstock (i.e., corn) for liquid transportation biofuels, is scrutinized with an eye to environmental impact and measured with a societal yardstick.
"Biofuels were being singled out, but nobody was asking the deeper questions about how the land is best used. What crops are best planted in a specific location? Is a community justified in cutting down a rain forest?" she asks. "If we have an impact on the environment over the long term, I hope it leads to a place where we're looking at land use on a broader scale."
In the labs and on EBI's 320-acre farm, "cellulosic bio fuels" are the buzzwords.
"We're developing organisms that can co-ferment," Jenkins explains. "These are different sugars that can simultaneously be made into fuel, like wine fermentation."
Researchers are also examining synthetic substitutes to solve problems of waste or expensive steps in the fuel's production pipeline. And natural products, like Arizona's agave plants, are under trial to determine potential biomass yields.
Jenkins is particularly excited about the work EBI is doing to increase the use of "waste" materials lost in standard ethanol production.
"It's not just the kernel that has value, it's the cellulosics: the nonfood cell walls, leaves and other plant material," she insists. "And instead of going deeper into the Gulf, we're looking at drawing more from existing (fuel) reservoirs. Most of the time, 50 percent of the fuel is still there, but not retrievable, when we pull out. We can figure out ways to get that oil out."
Criticism, when it arises, is directed at the association with BP. According to Jenkins, the company pays $35 million per year to retain all the nonexclusive rights to research projects. The university retains rights to any patent filed and can license those patents to others. BP pays an additional royalty to purchase exclusive rights.
"People worried that a corporation involved at this level would sacrifice the integrity of the research," Jenkins admits. "But there are guiding principals that have been in place from the beginning that protect the researchers and students."
After a 30-day period to capture value by filing a patent, discoveries can be shared and submitted for publication. Jenkins insists the academic/corporate blend adds vigor.
"If there's a change that will lead our researchers down the path to industry, they tell us," Jenkins says. "And at the corporation, if they don't know the science to solve a problem, we're scientific researchers who want to help. It's a win-win."
A formal dedication ceremony is scheduled for December. Information on the EBI can be found at its website at www.energybiosciencesinstitute.org.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Pikeville won its first-ever Mid-South Conference cheerleading competition, taking the title Wednesday night at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School.
In addition, UPike Coach Jeannie Stone was named Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year and Jaimie Ward was named Cheerleader of the Year.
"I'm really proud of our team," Stone said. "They have worked so hard on this routine. Everything we've done all season has been to prepare us for this night. I'm so happy for them that it all came together tonight."
The squad had worked on the performance for months, and held an open practice on Monday in front of UPike students and fans.
Ward is a sophomore from Georgetown, and her taking the title as top cheerleader did not surprise her coach.
"She's a really hard worker," Stone said. "She is an excellent cheerleader and her performance tonight was perfect. She was very comfortable working with our guys and that may have been the difference for her tonight."
Taylor Stone, a senior from Pikeville, joined Ward on the all-conference squad.
Additionally, seven UPike cheerleaders were named to the academic all-conference team. In order to be nominated by an institution, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale and must have achieved at least sophomore academic status.
Campbellsville, Lindsey Wilson and Pikeville each had seven academic honorees to tie for the most from one school. Forty cheerleaders were honored on the squad.
Pikeville's members were Demitri Curry, Ali Goff, Jerrica Lambert, Derissa Prater, Mackenzie Stapleton, Stone and Ashley Sturgill.
Twelve student-athletes were named first-team all-conference. They were sophomore Ashley Bates and junior Audrey Wunderlich of Campbellsville; Brittany Bostic and Jacob Cody Hurst of Cumberlands; Georgetown seniors Jaime Horne and Maura Shirley; Lindsey Wilson junior Madeliue Hutcherson and senior Erica Finley; Ward and Stone of Pikeville; and Rio Grande sophomore Gwendolyn Rose and senior Kiah Haynes.
The Champions of Character recipient is Campbellsville University junior Alexa Moore. She was chosen from among her peers as an outstanding representative of the five core character values of the NAIA, which are respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship.

Pronova opens up Japanese market
Lysaker/Osaka - Pronova Biopharma SA is set on entering the Japanese market with its TAK-085 (omega-3-acid ethyl esters 90) for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. Pronova's partner Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Their application is the fruit of a long-standing relationship. In 2005, Takeda and Pronova entered into a License and Supply Agreement in which Takeda was granted the exclusive development and marketing rights to this product in Japan. TAK-085, discovered by Pronova, is the omega 3-derived prescription drug containing highly concentrated and purified EPA-E (eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester) and DHA-E (docosahexaenoic acid). The submission is based on the results of the phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-085 in comparison with an active comparator EPA product already marketed in Japan. The trial demonstrated that 4g per day of TAK-085 was statistically superior to 1.8g per day of the EPA. The drug is already on the market in 56 countries including the U.S. and most European countries.

Kristen Bell got her "Veronica Mars" movie funded in less than 11 hours.
Bell and show creator Rob Thomas started a Kickstarter campaign Wednesday morning. By 6 p.m., they'd raised the $2 million that Warner Bros. said it needed to go ahead with plans to fund promotion, marketing and distribution.
"My mind is blown. I've been fantasizing about this and had to tell myself, 'Stop it, Rob, you're being silly. You're setting yourself up for disappointment,'" Thomas told Entertainment Weekly. "And now today has exceeded the wildest pipe dream I let myself entertain. Holy cow. We better make a good movie. These amazing fans have stepped up. We better deliver."
And they didn't stop stepping up. By noon Thursday, the Kickstarter campaign had a little less than $2.8 million. In just six hours, they were breaking Kickstarter records.
If the fans keep showing so much love, maybe they can do a 3-D version.
Thomas previously told Entertainment Weekly the movie's plot would include -- no surprise -- murder, mystery and a high-school reunion. It will film this summer and be released in early 2014.
"I have never fallen so deeply in love with a character," Bell has said. "We all became so close, and the cancellation of the show left a huge hole in my heart. I would have put on "Veronica Mars: The Circus" to bring it back."

Cell-tower foes have legitimate grounds for opposition
This is in response to Barbara A. Aurell's Nov. 24 letter, "Do cell tower opponents want cell service?"
Ms. Aurell's letter is long on passion but short on facts. The Concerned Citizens of Morris do not object to a tower in Morris. We are well aware of the need for emergency workers and private citizens to have consistent cellphone service. However, we expect due diligence on the part of selectmen to make certain that placement of a tower is done responsibly. The selectmen have done an excellent job of listening to concerns and allowing presentations to be made. However, they have not commissioned studies that would address issues related to this proposed site.

VAIL - For about as long as anyone can remember, Beth Slifer has been involved in trying to market Vail's summer charms, but this year's effort is different than any she's seen before.
"This is the most coordinated effort we've had," said Slifer, currently the president of the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council, which administers a roughly $2.5 million summer marketing budget for the town of Vail.
The town's investment has paid off in recent years with record sales tax collections, Still, winter makes up roughly 70 percent of the town's sales tax revenue.
This year's marketing is, as usual, using both print and television advertising, much of it in the Denver area, to sell Vail to the state's biggest population center.
The print ads, which will mostly appear in The Denver Post, this year will stress Vail's current focus on becoming a center for "health and well-being" activities. The ads establishing the Vail "brand" reflect activities from yoga on a sunny field to cycling amid summer wildflowers to the passion of the Vail International Dance Festival with the simple message, "Balance found."
Other ads will tout specific events with the same straightforward message, albeit with details included.
Beyond the print ads, the district is also producing a series of TV ads and video promotional pieces. One of those video pieces will appear this summer right after in-flight safety instructions on all United Airlines flights.
That piece will be narrated by actress Susan Sarandon.
Those commercials and video pieces will be aimed squarely at what the Nielson research company calls "flourishing families," active families with kids, disposable income, and the desire to travel for new experiences.
"That's Vail's customer," marketing consultant Adam Sutner said.
Besides the print and TV ads, Sutner also detailed a new summer marketing push into Mexico, aimed at the affluent families who make up a small, but growing part of Vail's winter business.
Sutner told the council about a new Spanish-language website aimed at those families. That, he said, is a first for a mountain resort.
Besides a new design, Sutner said the site will be "complimentary, not duplicative" of Vail.com, the English-language website. And, Sutner said, the effort will have Spanish-language e-mail and booking capabilities.
Part of the marketing push will actually become its own event, Sutner said.
Most of the Denver broadcast TV ads will be shown on Channel 4 out of Denver, that city's CBS affiliate. Sutner said Channel 4 was chosen because of its strength in both local and national ratings.
The link wit the CBS station will also bring tryouts for a popular reality show to Vail.
"Survivor," long one of the most popular prime-time shows in this country, will hold a tryout this summer in Vail in mid-August. Some of that footage will end up on the Denver station, of course, and may well make it to the national broadcast.
"The value of that is incalculable," Sutner said.
Those efforts are why Slifer is excited for the season to come.
"I think we're set for a fabulous summer," she said.

I had originally written a story about post-Katrina New Orleans to be posted on the anniversary of the storm. But, like everyone from the Crescent City, my plans were delayed by Isaac. Now that the most recent storm has passed, I think it is even more apropos to focus on people who refuse to let their city wash away.
I had never heard of the St. Bernard Project (SBP) before the day I arrived at a home full of UPSers hanging drywall and rolling paint. It was Global Volunteer Month five years after hurricane Katrina, and my first time back to New Orleans since the devastation. I remember how shocked I was to see neighborhoods still abandoned and houses still marked with spray paint from the search and rescue teams.

OAKLAND — Warriors center Andrew Bogut played a series-low 20 minutes against the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night and appeared to be laboring physically. But he maintained Wednesday that his surgically repaired left ankle wasn't bothering him in the 109-91 Game 5 loss,
Bogut played just six of his 20 minutes in the first half. He finished the game with just six rebounds and two points and did not block a shot.
Asked how he was feeling the day after, Bogut was brief.
"Pretty good," he said.
Asked a follow-up about whether the ankle was causing him problems during the game, he said, "No, it's fine. It'll be all right."
Moments later, one more question came about whether the long flight from San Antonio adversely affected his ankle.
"No," he said. "Anyone else want to ask a question about the ankle? The ankle's fine."
Coach Mark Jackson backed him up on that count, to some extent.
"Nobody's 100 percent on either team," Jackson said. "He's battling, he's grinding, he's giving us what he has. I think he's played extremely well, and that's part of the reason we are where we are today, and I expect him to do it again for 98 minutes."

Liverpool Message Board
Lucas must start!
1) We are only playing in one competition
2) We invariably get bullied in the middle when Allen plays
3) Lucas' return to fitness has coincided with an upturn in results
4) Always play your best team
5) Skrtel playing was another head scratcher
6) Dont rotate for rotation's sake! That was the thing that drove me nuts about Rafa!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
You made some very valid points which are difficult to disagree with. I can't help thinking that Lucas hasn't recaptured his form of 2 ago but surely that will come with a run of games - whats the back up plan for the holding midfielder role? Joe Allen is far too lightweight to make a contribution to the team and I was astounded by his price tag (Brendan are you serious?) Skrtel has dipped in form steadily over the same period and there are too many errors in his game - his performance against the Oldham Athletic player was a damning indictment of this. I am worried about the spine of the team which we could once rely upon - even Reina is no longer his commanding best and perhaps seeks a fresh challenge. We need to invest wisely over the Summer, something that a Liverpool manager has not really done for several years - theres been too many bad buys - for every xavi Alonso there has been a Josemi.
- 1 Reply to Anton
I've mentioned this elsewhere but the form of Allen and Lucas is not the only midfield issue. We're not tight enough in there. Look at Southampton's third goal. Where was our midfield? It certainly wasn't where it should have been. Completely scattered to the 4 winds. Our back 4 were also way too deep opening up the space even more.
When we (or any team for that matter) play well we are tight and compact in the middle, particularly when you're only playing 3 in there. The team front to back is also compact. We were spread over 70 yards on Southampton's thrid goal.
Players need to wake up, play with their heads and put some effort in. Gerrard is losing it in my opinion and needs to play in a deeper role. He cant play the marauding midfielder in this system without the cover behind.

Perhaps McDonald County sophomore basketball player Preslea Reece had this entire thing gift-wrapped from the very beginning.
In a time of giving, one day after Christmas, on teammate Courtni Smith's birthday, and two days after coach LaDonna McClain's birthday, Reece scored 22 points, including 16 in the second half, to bring the Lady Mustangs from behind to defeat Neosho, 39-32, on Wednesday in the first round of pool play at the 58th annual Neosho Holiday Classic at Neosho Middle School.
Not only did Reece's big day put the bow on Smith and McClain's gifts, but it also awarded her team its first victory of the season.
"She really played," McClain said. "Especially in the second half, I thought she turned it up."
Reece, who fouled out with 1:24 remaining and the Lady Wildcats still within striking distance, can't take all of the credit, however. The rest of the Lady Mustangs carried the load once Reece fouled out. Neosho mounted a late threat, closing to within 33-31 with 55 seconds left, but the Lady Mustangs never faltered.
It was the kind of pick-me-up that McClain said her team has been seeking.
"We just need some confidence," McClain said. "We've been in several games we just haven't been able to finish. The huge thing for us was playing two and some odd minutes without Dani (Pierce) and Preslea on the floor. That was big."
Corea Lowery made one of two free throw attempts for the Lady Wildcats with 55 ticks left in the game to make it 33-31, McDonald County. Alisha Ballard then made the front end of two foul shots with 47 seconds left before Smith sank both of her tries with 30 seconds to go to extend the lead to 36-31. Ballard would go on to make two more down the stretch to seal the victory.
It was a tale of two halves for the Lady Wildcats. Both teams struggled with turnovers throughout the game, but they were the ones capitalizing on the mistakes in the first half, and held a 20-15 lead at the intermission. Aside from a few short seconds in the second quarter, Neosho held the lead nearly the entire first half.
"Very frustrating," Neosho coach Lance Robbins said. "We came out and played well in the first quarter. From there we just couldn't make shots, and I felt like when we couldn't make shots we didn't guard as hard.
"We had some silly turnovers throughout the game. All that being said, I thought we had a chance at the end to make some plays. We had a chance right there at the end to make some plays and win the game and we just weren't able to do it."
Page 2 of 2 - McClain said that, while it might not have been a pretty win, it was one her team is glad to take.
"It wasn't pretty," she said. "But we still did a lot of good things and did the job. It's hard to come in and win against a home team in a tournament, and so I'm hoping this will maybe head us in a different direction than what we've been headed."
Cendy Garcia followed Reece with five points while Sarah Rickman and Smith both had four, Ballard three and Kali Hodson one.
Matty Liedtke led the Lady Wildcats with 11 points while Chelsey Henry pitched in eight, Brooke Stauffer four, Morgan Rathmann one, Corea Lowery one, Morgan Rogers two, Chelsei Marion one and Emily Harrell two.
The Lady Mustangs take on Bentonville at 4:30 p.m. today while the Lady Wildcats square off with Pierce City at 7:30 p.m.
