PARKERSBURG - Organizers of the Downtown Farmers' Marketplace are looking for vendors for the second annual Downtown Winter Market that opens for the season on Nov. 1.
The winter market, which debuted last year, will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month through March at the West Virginia University at Parkersburg downtown campus, 705 Market St.
"We are fortunate to have WVU-P's support," said Ann Conageski, development director for the city of Parkersburg. "We think the market will complement the new culinary school scheduled to open in January 2013."

Organizers are recruiting vendors for the Winter Market.
"We've already had several vendors commit, some of which will be able to provide the market with winter produce," said Rickie Yeager, planning administrator for the city of Parkersburg. "If you or someone you know makes jams, jellies, baked goods, soaps and sundries, arts and crafts, seasonal items, organizers encourage you to consider becoming a vendor."
Booth space is $10 a day or $40 for the season, Yeager said.

Spots are still open for those who are interested in having a vendor table at the market.
"This is a great opportunity for people to sell their wares, especially since the market will be open during the holiday season," Yeager said.
While prospective vendors are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible, organizers will take applications throughout the season.
The market will also feature community artisans and musicians this year.
"The winter market will be a great venue for showcasing local talent," Yeager said.
A brief informational meeting for prospective vendors, artisans and musicians will be held 6 p.m. Oct. 16 at the Blennerhassett Hotel. Free parking is available next to the hotel.

Participants will enjoy motivational speakers, hands-on cooking demonstrations and family-fun activities. Classes will be held from 11 a.m. to noon at the winter market.
"We are thrilled to have the winter market back again this year," said Carrie Nesselrode, executive director of Downtown PKB. "Along with the winter market, I hope people will check out all the other unique businesses downtown that will be open as well."
Prospective vendors, artists and musicians can contact Jay Fisher at 304-424-8518 or at firstname.lastname@example.com
Among highlights from the 2012 Winter Market:

this is so frustrating,
first off you guys keep mentioning a "pms.conf" file THERE IS NO SUCH file in the PS3 Media server directory!!!!!
There is a "PS3.conf" file in the renderers folder but I am not sure if this is the file to use since it clearly says here @
below that it says to install pmsencoder by:
shut down PMS; open PMS.conf in a text editor; and add pmsencoder to the front of the list of engines e.g.
engines = pmsencoder,mencoder,tsmuxer,mplayeraudio &c.
BUT THERE IS no engines line in this PS3.conf file!!!!!!! do I create one? is this the correct file? this is infuriating confusing >.<
does anyone know how to configure pmsencoder with PS3 Media Server that actually works and points to the correct place to do it in???
I'm running WIndows 7 Pro and not Linux and just trying to stream FLV files to the PS3. There has to be an easier way to get this done!

Neil Rosenthal will conduct a one-day workshop open to the general public titled "Creating an A+ Relationship" on May 4 in Westminster. For information and registration, email ronimarion
Dear Neil: My partner (29) and I (28) have finally learned how to communicate and resolve our differences effectively. However, he has recently said that he isn't sure if he ever wants to get married. He said that he's concerned that if he doesn't change his mind about marriage in the next few years, that I'll be getting the short end of the stick, because my childbearing years will be shorter. He also said that financially, emotionally and maturity-wise, he's not sure that he's ready for the commitment and responsibilities that come with marriage, and that he's used to putting himself and his own needs first.
Based on that, I know I should leave. But his words and his actions don't say the same thing. He says he puts himself first, but when I have needed him, he puts aside whatever he's doing to come to me - even for small, everyday things. We fit the description of a happy couple, and he says he's happy with our relationship. That is until he starts saying that perhaps he's unable to be in a long-term relationship or that maybe he just can't commit to one person.
Most days I believe in our relationship. But when he tells me about how he sees the future, I get confused, scared and hurt. What would you advise I do?
To Stay or Not to Stay
Dear To Stay or Not: On the surface, it sounds like your boyfriend still has an interest in sowing his wild oats, and may indeed be telling the truth when he says he isn't ready to consider marriage. It sounds like he is saying that he is content staying in the relationship - perhaps indefinitely - as long as you aren't expecting him to propose.
But you could confront the difference between what he says and what he does. You could say to him: "You tell me you're used to putting yourself and your own needs first, but that's not how you actually behave. You drop whatever you're doing when I need you or ask for your help. Are you aware of that?" It might be that he isn't using authentic arguments with you but is still saying he's not ready yet.
Sometimes, when a woman breaks up with a man, he realizes after a while that he's been a fool, that you offer him everything he's wanting and looking for, and then comes crawling back to you.
But it would be terrible advice to offer you because he indeed may not be ready to marry and therefore would decide that he had no other choice except to let you go. Because this strategy can backfire, I am not fond of suggesting it.
Does this relationship feel promising enough that you might be willing to wait him out, hoping he will mature enough in order to realize that you are the right one for him, even if it took years?
If so, put a timeline on the whole thing - say two or three years, so you don't grow too angry or resentful. And every so often, revisit the dream of marriage and a family together. He might need to marinate on that idea for a while before it grows on him.
Just be aware that he may not hold the same dream as you do.
Dear Neil: For 18 months in my late teens, I dated a wonderful girl. We had an amazing relationship, and I thought we'd always be together. But she broke up with me when she went away to college.
I hadn't spoken to her in five years when I found out that she is now married. Even though it's been almost nine years since we broke up, I always thought we would bump into each other and recapture that old chemistry. Although she has moved on, I haven't. I'm still alone and single, struggling to find a job and living at home.
Despondent in Vail
Dear Vail: Never again let yourself labor under the illusion that you can passively wait for someone you want until the two of you bump into each other. Although such spontaneous connections do occur, nobody can afford the luxury of waiting for that to happen. Left to fate, you may never bump into the woman of your dreams, or if you do, the timing may be all wrong.
Lick your wounds from this lost hope, and then go out there and find someone you can call yours. And learn this lesson: If there's someone you want, then find the courage and invite her to get together.
Don't wait for fate. If she turns you down, then you will know that at least you tried your best, and your self-esteem will not take the same hit that it will take if you don't try at all. Seize the moment and take advantage of all opportunities, even if it scares you to death. Life favors the bold.

The Board of Directors of the Montevideo Music Boosters had some fun at their early December meeting. The Board reviewed and approved two requests for funds from the group's Friends of Music Fund.
The Friends of Music Fund supports music curriculum needs at ISD 129 and is funded through contributions from parents, grandparents, local businesses, and alumni.
One grant for $1,500 will support the purchase of a HD technology video camera suitable for filming school performances in low light venues like the Fine Arts Center. According to middle and high school Choir Director Dan Hampton, "It will be especially nice to have a camera that will produce high quality DVDs of the musicals, concerts, and special events like The Chamber-lain's Feast and even parade performances of the marching band."
Hampton explained that in addition to producing DVDs of performances for students and families, "We use video footage from concerts at several grade levels to point out aspects of the performances that need improvement." The new camera will do a much better job of capturing things like facial expression.
A second grant for $1,500 will support the purchase of a new 29 inch timpani for the Montevideo High School Band. According to Jennifer Rosin, the existing set of four timpani were purchased in 1962 and no longer hold the fundamental pitch.

The never-ending story of Oakland's three professional sports teams leaving for greener venues has been going on longer than it takes to complete a "Mission to Mars."
This ratatouille of relocation rationales has more ingredients than any sports stew in recent memory. Team ownerships have made announcements, pronouncements, retrenchments and veiled threats about where their franchises will end up.
Leagues have formed committees to research equitable solutions, one with a Giant roadblock. Elected officials opine with supposedly clear strategy. Unfortunately those positions lack clarity, focus and coherent strategy.
Over the past seven years the new venue compass has pointed to Diridon Station, Fremont with a side of Cisco, Coliseum City, Howard Terminal, Dilapidated Dockage in SF, Victory Court, downtown Oakland, an AT&T parking lot, an abandoned Concord Naval Weapons Station and now a bizarre temporary A's baseball stadium in the San Jose Giants Park or the soon to be opened San Jose Earthquakes soccer stadium in 2015.
This vacuum of progress is driving Oakland sports fans away from the turnstiles (other than the Warriors) to see their sports psychiatrists in record numbers.
The Warriors will be a part of the Oaktown landscape until someone comes up with a quarter billion anchovies/sardines/herring just to take care of the crumbling concrete at Piers 30-32.
The cost of pier progress alone could pay for a spiffy suite of improvements at Oracle for a team that continues to sell out after coming back from 16 years wandering in the desert of competitive despair.
The A's "Moneyball" express rolls on but their San Jose ballpark quest is more like "Funnyball." Committed A's fans take it personally when ownership complains about lack of support while making more yearly profit than the Giants (no, that's not a misprint).
The merry little charade of "We gotta get outta of this place" rolls on.
The ongoing conversations between the teams and city leaders are focused on lease extensions. "Hey landlord, I think you are not keeping up with repairs, the plumbing is screwed up, I don't like the Silver and Black neighbors sharing my turf but I'd like a year-to-year lease under my own terms and conditions. We cool?"
I wish someone in a leadership position would respond, "No, we ain't cool!"
Oakland is a gritty yet highly competitive city, with suburbs, exurbs and even far away counties with fans and businesses that will support a coherent stay-at-home strategy led by a committed group of leaders who understand that the desolation that was China Basin can be replicated at 66th Avenue.
We don't need no stadia with coves, arenas with kayak docks or shared Santa Claran football palaces. Just give the fans of these three great Oakland franchises the chance to show the loyalty they have exemplified in decades past.
AT&T Park is a shining and viable example of what civic teamwork is all about between team, elected officials and business leadership can accomplish. The magnificent transportation network that exists at the Coliseum site could never be built today. The Coliseum Swap Meet of today can be the recreation, research and residential renaissance of tomorrow.
The Bay Area boomtown will benefit Oakland from the vision of Gov. Jerry Brown, who as mayor saw that affordable places to live were part of Oakland's future.
Enough already with 1,365 days and counting of Major League Baseball's relocation committee work.
Enough already with San Jose. The A's aren't moving there.
Enough already with a Black Hole of a Raiders' stadium plan that keeps getting deeper with no strategy.
Enough already on we need to move to San Francisco to attract quality NBA free agents.
Enough already!
The fans of these three teams could use a major infusion of community leadership.
Andy Dolich is a sports business consultant who was an executive of the Oakland A's from 1980-94 under the Haas family ownership, has been COO of the San Francisco 49ers and president of the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies.

Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind
Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were stored in forests and other ecosystems and in vast reserves of fossil fuels. In just the last few hundred years, humans extracted exploitable energy from these living and fossilized biomass fuels to build the modern industrial-technological-informational economy, to grow our population to more than 7 billion, and to transform the biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity of the earth. This rapid discharge of the earth's store of organic energy fuels the human domination of the biosphere, including conversion of natural habitats to agricultural fields and the resulting loss of native species, emission of carbon dioxide and the resulting climate and sea level change, and use of supplemental nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar energy sources. The laws of thermodynamics governing the trickle-charge and rapid discharge of the earth's battery are universal and absolute; the earth is only temporarily poised a quantifiable distance from the thermodynamic equilibrium of outer space. Although this distance from equilibrium is comprised of all energy types, most critical for humans is the store of living biomass. With the rapid depletion of this chemical energy, the earth is shifting back toward the inhospitable equilibrium of outer space with fundamental ramifications for the biosphere and humanity. Because there is no substitute or replacement energy for living biomass, the remaining distance from equilibrium that will be required to support human life is unknown.

Watching skiers, riders and horses race down the main drag up there is one hell of an event we hear. What better excuse do you need to go up to Cloud City and hang with those crazy Leadvillians? Is that what residents of 'The Ville' are called. We're not really sure. Comments?
Anyhoo, if that doesn't float your boat, I'm sure our li'l county here has plenty of exciting events going on as well.

PARIS, France — The last time I was in Paris the thing that impressed me most about the local McDonalds was it served wine. Oh. Never mind. I was drinking wine at a caf next to McDonalds. Easy mistake to make as they drink wine everywhere, all the time, in France. They probably drink it in the restroom! Oh. Again, that was me.The big news this week in Paris, however, is not the unveiling of this year's Beaujolais, but the latest addition to McDonalds' menu: Le McBaguette. Set to debut April 18 in the City of Lights, this tribute to French fast food is said, in the words of McDonalds France president Nawfal Trabelsic, to be "of symbolic importance." I beg to differ. Sure it sounds like a huge step for mankind when compared to, say, the Double Cheeseburger on the Dollar Menu, but France has already brought many a great sandwich to the world. Can you say Croque Monsieur? OK, that is a hard one to pronounce. How about Monte Cristo? You don't need to be able to roll your "Rs" to appreciate these culinary contributions. Following are the recipes for both, plus the McBaguette. You decide which one makes you sit up and say "encore." McBon appetit!Le McBaguetteIngredients for one sandwich:1⁄4 of one rustic French bread baguette, cut length-wise2 Tbls. strong, whole grain mustard1 Tbls. butter1 grilled hamburger patty2 thick slices Emental cheese (a rich Swiss found in Safeway's gourmet cheese section, or the Village Market, in Incline)one large lettuce leafPreparation: Spread bread with softened butter on both sides, mustard on top only. Layer beef patty, cheese and lettuce on bread bottom, close up with top slice. Serve.Croque Monsieur This ham and cheese sandwich is topped with a creamy bchamel sauceIngredients for four sandwiches:2 Tbsp. butter 2 Tbsp. flour 11⁄2 cups milk A pinch each of salt, freshly ground pepper, nutmeg, or more to taste 6 ounces Gruyre cheese, grated (about 11⁄2 cups grated) 1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (packed) 8 slices of French or Italian loaf bread 2 ounces ham, sliced Dijon mustardPreparation: Preheat oven to 400F. To make the bchamel sauce melt butter in a small saucepan on medium/low heat until it just starts to bubble. Add the flour and cook, stirring until smooth, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk, whisking continuously, cooking until thick. Remove from heat. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the Parmesan and 1⁄4 cup of the grated Gruyre. Set aside. Next, lay out the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven, a few minutes each side, until lightly toasted. For extra flavor you can spread some butter on the bread slices before toasting. Lightly brush half of the toasted slices with mustard. Add the ham slices and about 1 cup of the remaining Gruyre cheese. Top with the other toasted bread slices. Spoon bchamel sauce on to the tops of the sandwiches. Sprinkle with the remaining Gruyre cheese. Place on a broiling pan. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, then turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese topping is bubbly and lightly browned.Monte CristoA fancy grilled French toast sandwich sprinkled with powdered sugarIngredients for one sandwich:2 slices bread (preferably Hawaiian Sweet bread or potato bread) 1 tsp. mayonnaise1 tsp. prepared mustard4 slices cooked ham 2 slices Swiss cheese powdered sugar1 egg1⁄2 cup milkPreparation: Spread bread with mayonnaise and mustard.

I've done research on this but the only valid and silly answer is to convert mkv files to mp4 or avi so the instead of transcoding my ps3 can transfer it. I've done this type of transfers before its just been popping up lately. I've tried connecting my ps3 via lan yet I still get the same error. If anyone can help i'm sure there are tons of other users that i'll appreciate along with me.

Arrest made in burglaries
Published: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 9:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 9:46 p.m.
A Galliano man who allegedly stole more than $1,000 worth of tools from a shed and stuffed them into his pockets Monday was later charged in connection with several other burglaries, the Lafourche Sheriff's Office said.
Jordan McCartney, 22, of 233 W. 164th St., also took some of the tools from the West Main shed and placed them in a container, Sheriff's Office spokesman Brennan Matherne said.
When the owner noticed the shed's door was open and a light was on, he got a gun and shouted at McCartney to get out, Matherne said.
Detectives connected McCartney to other burglaries and charged him with six counts of simple burglary, attempted simple burglary, three counts of theft under $500, one count of theft over $500 and criminal trespass, Matherne said. McCartney is in the Lafourche jail on a $141,000 bond.

One Colorado Springs teen spent days in the hospital because of Spice. Josh Walker is alive to tell his story, and he's talking only to Newschannel 13.
"At first, I didn't think it would happen to me, but I learned the hard way," said Walker.
19-year-old Joshua Walker ended up in the hospital after using spice.
"I did it thinking nothing of it except just get high for a day," he said.
He'd tried it before, no real issues until the last time
"Everything just blacked out from there," said Walker.
He woke up to a nightmare finding himself in the ICU.
"I was told I was between life or death. It just blew my mind," said Walker.
It was a near heartbreak for his dad.
"My son's one of the luckiest ones," said Joshua's father Gordon Walker.
Joshua has had a full recovery a month later.
His dad rejoiced after learning the DEA busted the "Spice of Life" shop for selling the very thing that nearly killed Joshua
"I was like good. Thank God! Finally. It needed to be done," said Gordon Walker.
'Needed to be done' is an understatement for Stephanie Colbert.
"That means a lot to me just because parents don't have to go through what I go through on a daily basis," said Colbert.
Her 19-year-old son Nicolas died two years ago after using Spice.
"The thought of how he died and knowing that it could've been prevented."
But knowing at least one shop cannot sell Spice any more, Colbert said she's glad for Colorado Springs' young adults and teens who can't get it either, at least for now. Joshua's dad, though, is looking at the bigger picture.
"Who's next? When's it going to come around again?" asked Gordon.
In the meantime, Joshua is alive and has a message for other teens.
"Even though Spice sounds cool, even if you're on UAs, just don't. It can really mess you up," he said.
Another bit of great news to share with you about Joshua: he's getting married. Joshua says he won't touch spice ever again because he doesn't want to lose his fiancée.

Starting with Candelair 1.5, the diagnostics functionality is now part of Candelair and available right from the prefs pane.
P.S.: You can now also use the new Remote Control Diagnostics application to check your system for error sources:
As I said before, Candelair is - by pure logic - not capable of having such effects - even less though after your removed it.
Software that doesn't change any system files or settings and that is ONLY active for as it is loaded in the kernel simply can't have any effect after you removed it. It's theoretically, logically and practically impossible.
For your convenience, I've added a list of possible reasons for "Apple Remote does not work" scenarios with extensive explanations and solutions to Candelair's website at
Please work through them and - if the issue persists even though you followed it completely - file a support inquiry at http://www.iospirit.com/contact/ .
Best regards,
Felix Schwarz
same thing with me, remote worked before, now it doesn't, not even after uninstalling...
Heh....remote was working before install, then not after so eh....you make the call. All I can tell you is that's what happened.
What may give you the impression of your remote not working, but is ENTIRELY unrelated to Candelair:
1) the use of background helpers (f.ex.PlexHelper) to launch an application at a button press. These launchers need to grab exclusive access to your remote to provide their functionality. Side effect: no other application will receive any button presses. Solution: stop using the launcher option
2) you use an application that uses outdated Apple Remote code, all of which were broken by Apple's new driver in 10.6.2.
Solution 1: ask the developer to fix their app, f.ex. by adopting our free HID Remote class (http://www.iospirit.com/developers/hidremote/). Wait for the updated version.
Solution 2: Install Candelair and enable Candelair's Leopard Compatibility Mode
3) you accidentally disabled your IR Receiver. Solution: Re-enable it at System Preferences > Security.
No need to reinstall OS X really.
Best regards,
Felix Schwarz
@ digiangel:
Sorry, but this doesn't make sense. Candelair is not responsible for this.
Candelair is a clean driver. It's fully self-contained. It does NOT modify/patch/hack ANY file on your system.
You install it: it runs.
You uninstall it: it's gone. Completely gone. And your system is back to where it previously was.
In no way can Candelair have an effect as you describe. In fact, if - as you say - you still have the same issue after uninstalling Candelair, this only confirms that Candelair is NOT responsible for your problem.
After installing this app my Apple Remote will not work on my machine. Even uninstalling did not fix the issue. Tested the remote on a different mac and it ran fine. Ran on 10.6.2...I will now have to reinstall the OS to get it to work.
Snow Leopard basically turned the Apple remote into an iTunes / Front Row launcher. Hulu desktop and Aurora were two apps I use that were crippled by Snow Leopard in that using the remote within the apps also launched and/or started playing music in iTunes.
So glad this fix was released! Was pulling my hair out over this problem. Thanks so much IOSpirit for making this available for free!!

DePaul University
DePaul University, based in Chicago, is the largest Catholic higher-education institution in the United States, and one of the nation's ten largest private universities. Established in 1898, the school works to provide a quality education through personal attention to students from a wide range of backgrounds. It has nine academic colleges on two main campuses, with a 2010, enrollment of 25,145 students.
The University is now in the middle of a major capital development plan, which includes a 115,000 square-foot academic building, an art museum, state-of-the-art facilities for the Theatre School and renovation and expansion of several other facilities.
To make these projects a reality, DePaul turned to Goldman Sachs for assistance in developing a cost-effective, prudent financing plan. Working closely with the university's management and advisors, the Goldman Sachs banking team helped develop a debt offering strategy and assisted in the credit rating process. Additionally, the sales desk broadened the investor base for the offering and successfully placed it on the market in January 2011.
As a result, the University was able to finance a $115 million component of the project on a tax-exempt basis at an attractive borrowing cost. The new facilities are currently under construction and some of them are scheduled to begin serving students as soon as August 2011.

Jury selection was to begin Monday for a former Jackson police officer charged in connection with the death of his 1-year-old daughter.
Natyyo Gray is charged with capital murder in the Nov. 20, 2011 death of Aubrey Brown. The Hinds County coroner said Brown died of an internal hemorrhage after suffering blunt-force trauma to the abdomen.
Police said Gray was taking care of the baby when she was injured. The girl's mother had full custody of the baby, according to court documents.
Gray's attorney contends the former officer called 911 and was trying to revive the child when the ambulance arrived.

In just a few days, the FCC will close its deliberations on Net Neutrality to outside comment.
If the giant telcos, like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, get their way, the FCC will abandon Net Neutrality and allow them to play favourites with big online companies who are willing to pay them the biggest bribes for favoured online treatment.
This will mean that everyone who can't pay will receive prejudiced online treatment compared to those who can.
Free Software Magazine would provide a typical example. It does not have a ready income from its readers, that would allow it to pay such bribes, and would soon become disadvantaged. Its only option would be to begin charging a considerable price for each issue in order to pay the assessed charges (bribes).
In fact, most services that are currently free on the internet would soon become pay per view only. You will need to keep your credit card handy every time you go online.
Save the Internet has been conducting an intense campaign against this loss of internet freedom and need every bit of support they can get at this stage. Just because you live in some other country is no reason to feel complacent. Once the FCC abandons Net Neutrality these companies will be coming to your government to demand that they follow suit.
We can't afford, literally, to let this happen.
Free as in Freedom
The web we want: Free as in Freedom!
This is worrying, I know. We cannot stop this process, it's impossible, but future you draw is quite unfeasible (luckily).
Internet originate from free thought and it will be free as in freedom over and over again. Historically, Internet users are reluctant to pay and contents were free -- as is still now! I like think this will be forever.
In a perfect world, this first FCC's false move will be paid soon heading straight down toward the ground.
Of course, let me dream ... :-)
ps: I'm studying English, be patient ... Please! ;-P
Excuse me but when has the
Excuse me but when has the internet been free? Free as in speech yes but not free as in beer. We all have to pay an ISP to access the net so we are paying already. Unless of course you happen to be one of those crackers who pinch bandwidth from a neighbour :-(
Free as in ... Doh!!
Of course, we all have to pay an ISP to access the net as well we all have to pay someone to access everything.
There isn't nothing strange by paying the services (no one makes something for nothing), there isn't nothing strange by paying to access the net. Free as in freedom doesn't mean that we haven't to pay, gratis means that! :-)
Don't mix "Free as in Freedom" up with "gratis"!
I believen the comments to be wrong ...
The problem is that this enables ISP's to give some content providers much better bandwidth than others. It is not unlikely that for instance Microsoft enters a deal with some ISP's which enables the ISP's to use microsoft software for free (or cheap) and in return the ISP will give MS-applications better bandwith than it's competitors. If MS products would be perceived as faster by the end users the end users will most likely use the MS products, even if the speed advantage only is due to the ISP. In the battle between MS, Yahoo!, google and others this would be a huge advantage.
In addition small content providers will not be able to compete with larger content providers since they don't have the money to pay the ISP's for a better connection. This means that there will be no more YouTube-companies started "from scratch", which depend on good speed to stay competitive.
Etc. etc.
And in the end, this only results in end users paying more, ISP's getting fatter, content providers disappearing, no room for small content providers and companies, only the biggest survive, and the internet is not as free as it is today since one of the good things about the internet of today is its diversity and the fact that even the smalles have a voice.
Heads in the sand
Pay pay pay pay pay. PAY. We already pay an ISP to access a network to enter onto the WWW, The cost of which is already stated in a multi-tiered system (Wide Open West or WOW) for example. Now the fat-cats have devised another scheme to ring more more from John/Jane Q. Public, all in the name of share holders and profits. The original internet was a tool used by scientist to share information between different countries during the cold war. Today it is the pulse of many communities from different countires. What starts in America, this new pay-as-you-go access, will spread like a cancer to other countires. Just when other countries are coming online, this cancer of greed spreads and kills the openness that today's internet has been nurturing. Only the greedy haves will be able to access the net. The have-nots will continue to not-have. Where does the greed stop? Talk about terrorism. If this new law isn't the new face of terrorism, extorsion, then what is? When do we stop paying just because someone else wants to extort more money?
WoW is my comment to your comment! :-)

Six Things Gamers Need to Know About Sony's PlayStation 4
"The stakes are high for what we are about to show you," Andrew House, Head of Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation division, said tonight at a press conference in New York City to show the world "the future of PlayStation." The company then proceeded to unveil the PlayStation 4, its next-generation video game console. But now that all the developers and executives are done talking, what does the PlayStation 4 actually mean for gamers? Speakeasy picked out a few key details from the mix.
1) We haven't actually seen the PlayStation 4
The console itself—the actual box that you play things with—was not on stage tonight. Sony gave no word about pricing or availability of the device either. This was a strange move on Sony's part, though to be fair it did originally promise to show the "future of PlayStation," not the next console necessarily. A few things were clarified, however. The name of Sony's next console is officially the PlayStation 4, not the "Orbis" as was previously rumored. A few key hardware details were revealed, but Sony spent more time speaking about the PlayStation as a platform, rather than a discrete product.
2) There's a new controller
For the first time since the original PlayStation, Sony has adjusted the look and feel of its iconic DualShock controller. Motion sensing capabilities are now built into the DualShock, rather than being limited to a standalone wand-like controller like the PlayStation 3's move controller. The PS3 controller had some motion-sensing features, but they were very limited—mostly it just meant tilting the controller back and forth or jerking it upwards in a small handful of first-party Sony games. The controller also has a touchpad built into the center and a headphone jack, though Sony did not demonstrate how exactly the touchscreen component will be used. A prominent feature that many of the speakers made sure to highlight was the controller's new "share" button, which enables most of the new social features developed for the console. As one of the developers put it in a pre-recorded testimonial: "Whenever [players] want to share that epic moment, they just press a button."
3) When you play games on the PlayStation 4, you will not be alone.
As the "share button" indicates, Sony didn't just want "social media integration" to be a buzzword tacked onto the PlayStation Network. The CEO of Gaikai said that it was Sony's mission to create the first social network for gaming, with meaning. Every aspect of gameplay that Sony touched on tonight had some social element to it. Gamers will be able to pick out key moments of their gameplay to broadcast to choice friends or their entire network, comment on each other's activity, and even access each other's controllers if the need arises. This will also influence the PlayStation store, which will recommend new titles based on your personal preferences and the games that your friends are playing, even downloading the games before you purchase them to make buying the games that much more enticing for impulse buyers. Sony did not mention any specific integration with existing social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube.
4) The PlayStation 4 Will Be Connected To The PS Vita
Remote play is "built into the architecture of the PlayStation 4," Sony said. The new console will then act as a sort of individual server for Sony's underappreciated handheld console, the PlayStation Vita. It's not entirely clear what that will look like yet—several games already have "cross-play" features that allow you to access the same game content on both the PlayStation 3 and the Vita, but it's only a small handful of titles produced in-house. Tethered to the PS4, the Vita will behave something like the Wii U GamePad—it can access the PS4's content within the range of a wireless connection, and lets users jump between their TV screen and the Vita. The Driveclub developers told Speakeasy that they essentially developed their game with two games in mind–the mobile version and the console version. Sony did not mention if "remote play" will offer any integration with other popular mobile gaming devices such as smartphones or tablets.
5) It has an impressive amount of launch titles, which could mean an arms race for exclusive content.
Sony brought a lot of developers to Wednesday's press conference. KillZone, an acclaimed PlayStation shooter franchise, announced a launch title "Shadowfall," and a slick racing game called "Driveclub" was previewed. Perhaps more impressive from the development side, however, was the range of indie developers that Sony drew to boost its artistic credibility. Jonathan Blow, the iconoclastic whose puzzle game Braid first appeared on Microsoft's Xbox 360, announced that his new open world game The Witness will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive title Activision Blizzard appeared to say that it will "support" the next PlayStation with several launch-window titles including Bungie's new "shared world" shooter Destiny, and Blizzard even said that it is bringing Diablo 3 to the console—a surprise announcement from a developer recognized for its PC exclusive titles. Also Ubisoftid that its open world action-adventure game, Watch_Dogs, will be ready for the launch of the new PlayStation 4.
6) The PlayStation Store Is Going To Get A Lot More Interesting
Sony hinted at the possibility of bringing alternative retail models such as episodic content and free-to-play games to its store. More concretely, the company said that players will actually be able to play demos of games inside the PlayStation store before buying them—a sort of "try it before you buy it" approach to consoles that's all but vanished from the AAA game industry in recent years. This feeds into Sony's larger mission to reduce download times for all its myriad gaming devices. Mark Cerny, the lead system architect of the PlayStation 4, said that players will be able to download games in the background, while the system is turned off, and even when playing the game that is being downloaded. As for backwards compatibility, the company said that while it is "exploring possibilities" for running older PlayStation titles natively on the PS4, it hopes to support these games through its cloud platform. "The technology is so advanced we could put PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS mobile games on any device," Perry said. "Imagine having access to all the games you love and getting them to run in seconds."

I'm a 5'7" sophmore, 160lbs. I run an 11.94 100m. My ability to get up the court is unmatched among my teamates. The place i struggle is finding a definite role when i play the point. Sometimes i have the hot hand and become a scorer who provides a great boost. Other times im the distributor who gets the ball to the person with either the hot hand or who is in the best position to score. This usually isn't a problem but my team looks to me often to score, this is difficult as i can't just turn on instantly. It just happens when im in scoring mode. On the defensive end im the best perimeter defender we have as our previous best defender is graduating, im extremly active, i intercept passes and will even defend much bigger players in the post. I'm also a decent rebounder due to my speed and vertical. With my constant presence on the defensive end, i tire out at bad times. What are your suggestions on blancing my defense and offense as far as energy? Also how do you switch over from passer to scorer without disrupting the flow of your offense? Thanks in advance.
Outwork everyone is all you can do. Continue to gain knowledge of the game as you develop your game.
I would kind of suggest trying to figure out what you need to be for your team based on the situation. I play like a stretch 4 position and I have similar issues deciding when to post up or when to step out to the short corner or high post or even sometimes to the wing. My coach said a lot of high school players go through that, and if you try and figure out what you are going to do before you have the ball it will help you be more consistant. Like say, you have a really good scoring 2 guard in the backcourt with you, if he is on fire, or shooting well, be a distributor, let the offense flow. If he is struggling or the other main scoring option on your team (like a post player) is sturggling, keep feeding them the ball, but also try to create for yourself more as well. He said that OKC does that a lot with Westbrook and Durant, if one guy is hot, they just keep going until they cool off or the defense adjusts and leaves the other guy open.
I say your defense comes first, as that will have the biggest and most consistent impact on the outcome of any game. If you get tired, then rest on offense by going into distributor mode. If you are that fast and that athletic, most of your points should come in transition, when the other team misses, especially if it's a long rebound.
As a sophomore, you still have a lot to learn and experience to get under your belt. I think you know already when you should be aggressive as a scorer, or when to pull back on the reigns. No matter, when you are having one of your " moments " in a game where you don't know which to be, turn to your defense, and things will flow for you.
Good luck!

Students at Oikos University recognized the man who entered their classroom Monday morning as a former nursing student who hadn't been around for a few months.
Then he ordered everyone to get up against a wall, and he drew a handgun.
"The people started running, and he started shooting," said Gurpreet Sahota, who relayed an account from his sister-in-law, nursing student Dawinder Kaur, 19.
Seven people died, and three more were wounded in the shooting at the small Christian university, the Bay Area's worst mass killing in almost 20 years.
Police said the victims are six women and one man ranging in age from their 20s to 40s. The man was identified as Tshering Rinzing Bhutia, 38, of San Francisco, killed when the gunman stole his car outside the school Monday morning. Two of the women killed were 21-year-old student Lydia Sim and 24-year-old Kathleen Ping, authorities confirmed.
Police Chief Howard Jordan on Monday evening confirmed the arrest of 43-year-old One Goh, of Oakland, a Korean native and naturalized U.S. citizen. Not much was immediately known about One, but Jordan said he had no known previous criminal record. Officers believe he acted alone.
Following the shooting, One drove Bhutia's car about five miles from the school to an Alameda supermarket, where he announced he had shot people and should be arrested. A security guard detained him until police arrived; a shopper who witnessed a man being handcuffed said he seemed very sedate.
The scene was chaotic back at Oikos, which occupies a small building on Edgewater Drive just north of Hegenberger Road in a business park between Interstate 880 and Oakland International Airport. The scene there was slaughter.
Kaur, 19, a U.S. Army Reservist from Santa Clara, told relatives the gunman had been a student in her class but had been absent for months before reappearing Monday morning. Some panicked when he drew a gun and began firing; she was shot in the arm as she helped a friend who had fallen on the classroom's floor. She then ran outside and called her brother, Paul Singh.
"She told me that a guy went crazy, and she got shot," Singh said. "She was running. She was crying; she was bleeding. It was wrong."
Police received a 911 call at 10:33 a.m. Art Richards, of Oakland, said he arrived at the school right around that time to pick up a friend who's a nursing student there.
Shocking, senseless
Richards said he saw a young woman wearing blue scrubs -- possibly Kaur -- emerge from bushes near the building, with blood running down her right arm from a wound near her elbow. She told him the gunman had fired point-blank at a man's chest, and she had been grazed by a bullet before she fled the building. "She was in shock, fearing for her life, she didn't know what to say," he said. "She had a piece of her arm gone, and that was just a graze from a bullet."
Richards said the wounded woman also told him she had recognized the gunman as a former student who had "seemed kind of weird and that he wasn't all there, and people would pick on him."
Police arrived within a few minutes, swarming the building; soon other buildings nearby were locked down, and police and news helicopters hovered above. Richards said he saw officers tackle an Asian man near the school, but they quickly determined he wasn't the suspect.
Officers advanced into the building, concerned the gunman might still be there and facing doors barricaded by terrified students. Some officers began smashing windows to get in; a police sergeant suffered a cut requiring hospitalization.
"About five or 10 minutes later, they drug out a body and placed it between two police cars. He was limp. They ran and grabbed a blanket, and we knew he was dead," Richards said.
Police moved an armored vehicle in front of the school to provide cover as more than a dozen students and faculty -- some of whom had been found cowering under desks -- were evacuated by SWAT officers. Some of the wounded immediately were whisked away by ambulance while others were treated at the scene.
Authorities said most of those killed and wounded had been in a classroom near the school's entrance, while one was shot in an administrative office. The gunman reportedly fired through another classroom's locked door but didn't hit anyone there.
Student Dechen Yangzom later was credited with having locked that other classroom's door and turned off the lights as soon as she heard the first shots echoing from down the hall, very likely saving her own life and those of seven others inside.
Later, several bodies that had been removed from the school lay covered on the front lawn. Police said five people died at the scene; of five others who were taken to the hospital, two later died.
Kaur's family, standing vigil as she was being treated at Alameda County Medical Center's Highland Hospital, said they saw other victims as well: a man shot in the shoulder and a woman shot in her hand and back.
"It was a very bloody scene, and we have lots of evidence to collect," Jordan said Monday evening. "This was an unprecedented tragedy. These deaths were shocking and senseless."
About 35 people had been in or near the school at the time of the shooting, Jordan said, and the gunman apparently had fled before the first officer arrived. School officials quickly gave police the gunman's name, photo and home address, to which officers were on their way when One turned himself in at the Alameda supermarket. Bhutia's car was towed from there.
Jordan said Monday evening that police would not yet release 911 tapes, photos of One or names and photos of the victims. No one answered the door Monday at an apartment at Westlake Christian Terrace, a high-rise residential building on the 200 block of 28th Street where One's father apparently lived. One's last known address also showed him living in the complex, although his current residence was not immediately clear.
One's brother, U.S. Army Sgt. Su Wan Ko, died in a traffic accident in Virginia in March 2011, while on special assignment from the George C. Marshall Center, an international security and defense studies institute in Garmisch, Germany. One Goh attended a memorial service in Virginia along with their father Young Nam Ko, 72, of Oakland. Their mother Oak Chul Kim, of Seoul, South Korea, attended as well but has since died, according to published reports. The suspect's other brother, Su Kwon Ko, who lives in Virginia did not answer his phone for comment Monday.
Court records show several court judgments and tax liens against One dating back to 2006, when he lived in Virginia. He owed more than $23,000 in federal taxes at one point and thousands of dollars more to banks and apartment owners.
The most recent judgment, in December, was for $985 to Capital One Bank.
Police described Oikos as "a postsecondary vocational school with strong ties to the Korean community and Korean students." A statement on the school's website from founder and president Pastor Jongin Kim says it offers "the opportunity to obtain a Christian education that is based on solid Christian doctrine and ideology. Our main goal is to foster spiritual Christian leaders who abide by God's intentions and to expand God's nation through them."
Gun control issue
Monday's shooting occurred during Christianity's holiest week.
Kim said Monday the shooter had previously been an Oikos nursing student but was no longer enrolled; he was unsure whether the shooter had been expelled or had dropped out voluntarily. Kim did not see the shooting but heard about 30 gunshots. "I stayed in my office," he said, imitating the sound of rapid shots.
Kaur's father, Balvir Singh, via translation by Sahota, said her family is "lucky she is alive. We are thankful that God saved her." The gunman, he said, "should get the full consequences that he deserves for doing this to these people."
Students panicked and ran from the building when the shooting started, said Nam Gong Kyun, a 52-year-old English student from Korea. Students and teachers throughout the building heard the shots, said Lucas Garcia, who has taught English at Oikos for three years. "We heard many gunshots," he said. "Everybody was scared, obviously."
Among those outside the school Sunday afternoon was Timothy Yi, pastor of Hayward Korean Baptist church, who had arrived with the father of Sim, who the family hadn't been able to reach after the shooting. Authorities confirmed later Monday that Sim was among the dead.
The pastor was shocked by the shooting, as the school has a reputation as a religious school. "They just study Bible and nursing," he said.
Monday's body count was the Bay Area's worst since the July 1, 1993, massacre at 101 California St. in San Francisco, when gunman Gian Luigi Ferri rampaged through two floors of a law office, killing eight victims before committing suicide.
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan appeared grim as she faced a news conference Monday evening. "No American mayor wants to have this situation," she said. "We'll have to question the availability of guns and the need for other services in our community."
Oakland City Council President Larry Reid, in whose district the carnage occurred, said it's "crazy when seven people lose their lives to an act of senseless violence. We have seven families whose loved ones won't come home tonight. There are no words that anyone can offer them."
A memorial service is planned for 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Berkeley Korean United Methodist Church, 303 Hudson St., in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood.

BCS title-winning University of Alabama football team to visit White House on Monday
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 4:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 4:28 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The University of Alabama football team's visit to the White House to be honored for winning the 2012 Bowl Championship Series national title, originally scheduled for early March but postponed, has been rescheduled for Monday, April 15.
The national capitol visit will mark the start of a busy week for the Crimson Tide. UA is scheduled to have spring practices on Tuesday and Thursday next week before wrapping up spring drills with the A-Day Game next Saturday, April 20.
The Crimson Tide, which has been recognized with trips to meet with President Obama after the 2009 and 2011 national championship seasons, had its originally-scheduled visit postponed by a winter storm in the D.C. area. In addition to meeting with the president, UA players, coaches and support staff are expected to tour other attractions around the national capital.
Following the 2009 national championship victory, UA visited the White House in March, 2010, for a congratulatory ceremony in the East Room. UA players and coaches also visited the Pentagon, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, U.S. Capitol Building and the National Mall.
Last year, UA was honored on the South Lawn, with a Marine band playing A Marine band played "Yea Alabama" and "Stars Fell on Alabama," and closed with "Sweet Home Alabama" in the team's honor. The tour also included visits to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.
Alabama defeated Notre Dame 42-14 on Jan. 7 in the BCS National Championship Game in Miami Gardens, Fla., to claim the school's 15th national football title.

Senator slams carbon tax
Published: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 11:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 25, 2013 at 11:09 a.m.
U.S. Sen. David Vitter said a new carbon-tax bill being proposed on Capitol Hill reminds him of the failed cap-and-trade legislation from 2009.
A carbon tax, in theory, puts a price on certain pollutants to curb them and is often held up as a solution to global warming.
The cap-and-trade concept would have forced plants, manufacturers and other businesses to buy transferable permits for their emissions, which would be capped.
"It's not just energy prices that would skyrocket from a carbon tax, the cost of nearly everything built in America would go up," Vitter said.
Vitter, the ranking Republican on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Committee, has introduced legislation along with 19 cosponsors that says a carbon tax is not in the economic interest of the United States.
Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Chairwoman Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, are sponsoring the carbon-tax bill.
Under the legislation, a fee on carbon-pollution emissions would pay for investments in energy efficiency and sustainable technologies such as wind, solar, geothermal and biomass.
The proposal would also provide rebates to consumers to offset any efforts by oil, coal or gas companies to raise prices.
"The leading scientists in the world who study climate change now tell us that their projections in the past were wrong;" Sanders said, "that, in fact, the crisis facing our planet is much more serious than they had previously believed."

News 12 This Morning/ Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- It is International Walk and Bike to School Day. Across the country, students walked together to school and two right here in our area participated.
North Aiken Elementary and Aiken Middle School gathered at Crosland park around 7 a.m. Wednesday and walked the 30 minutes to school.
Across the nation, it was all about promoting a healthy lifestyle.
"It's a national campaign to improve the physical fitness of our students," said John Bradley, principal of Aiken Middle School.
One day every year schools across the nation walk and bike to school.
"Students are not active enough," Bradley said. "I remember growing up we were outside all the time. Today a lot of our students spend more time on video games, television."
"We just want to increase the activity level that our children have in their lives," added Sarah Martin, school nurse at North Aiken Elementary.
They do it to promote a healthy lifestyle but also safety.
"We have a lot of issues that prevent activity for children in this day and age," Martin said. "You just don't want your child roaming the neighborhood. When it was a generation back, you felt much safer with that possibly."
"It's a time we can all get together and support our children and showing them safety as far as coming to school or ride their bikes, the importance of being safe to and from school," said North Aiken Elementary Principal Rhonda Ray.
This is the seventh year Aiken Middle and North Aiken Elementary are participating.
"Just a daily walking thing of 30 minutes will get you to a much better improved level of health," Martin said.
Student Jazmine Carter has participated in Walk to School Day every year.
"It's fun," she said. "Sometimes it's fun to talk to your friends and see who's all there and see some of the teachers."
They say they know its unrealistic for many students in the county to walk to school on a daily basis.
"We have students that come here from the other side of I-20 all the way out to the other side of the state park. We have students that are 26 miles away from school," Bradley said.
But they are hoping it sends a message.
"It's not necessarily just to promote waking to school," he said. "We do call it that big event, but it's to promote walking and physical fitness with all of our students everywhere."
It is sponsored by Safe Kids. This is not the only Walk to School Day for these children. South Carolina hosts its own in the spring. They say its something students, parents and the community really enjoy.
Around 200 people participated Wednesday.
