I previously had made a post about having some issues using PMS on multiple PS3 consoles. I think it got a tad off topic and would like to rectify my situation a little bit more clear.
Is it possible to set up two different profiles within PMS to distinguish which settings the 2 respective consoles should use?
I figured that using the IP binding feature in different .conf profiles would allow me to distinguish which transcoding settings my respective PS3 would need (ie DTS for one, AC3 for the other).

Location: Northwest Watershed Management Research
Project Number: 2052-13610-010-00
Start Date: Jan 14, 2012
End Date: Jan 13, 2017
This project is motivated by the following two interconnected aspects of water resources in the western U.S.: 1) water resources and covarying biological resources are concentrated in snow dominated mountainous terrain in which critical processes vary dramatically over short distances; and 2) climate change is affecting hydrologic processes, particularly snow accumulation and melt, in ways that may drastically alter water supply and land management. There are three objectives, two of which focus on field measurement and modeling of critical processes using the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed facilities and infrastructure. Those two objectives provide fundamental verification and evaluation data for the third, modeling objective. In the first objective, we combine innovative application of eddy covariance in mountainous terrain with intensive measurement and modeling to evaluate the impacts of ongoing landscape (vegetation) change on the net ecosystem flux of water and CO2. In the second objective, we measure soil water and temperature, along with important climatic parameters, and simulate the water balance and plant production across the rain/snow transition elevation. The third objective focuses on integrated hydrologic modeling to assess the impact of climate warming and landscape change on the seasonal snow cover, soil moisture, groundwater recharge, evaporation and streamflow in mountainous terrain. Model development includes upscaling process models from research to management scales and extending the modeled features to improve management models. The second and third objectives include multi-location research projects in which hydrologic trends at Reynolds Creek are analyzed and compared in a broader, nationwide context.

- Immediately upon making your kill, complete a Deer/Turkey Harvest Tag. The Harvest Tag must be kept with your deer or turkey until it is processed for consumption. While transporting your kill, you may keep the Harvest Tag in your pocket or wallet. However, if you leave the kill, the completed Harvest Tag must remain with the animal.
- All deer taken from Nov. 14 through Nov. 17 (except deer taken with Landowner Permits) must be brought to a check station. Listings of deer check stations are available on the internet at www.ct.gov/deep/hunting, and at most DEEP offices.
- All turkeys and deer taken during other periods must be reported within 24 hours via the internet at www.ct.gov/deep/hunting or by telephone at the toll-free number, 1-877-337-4868. To report your deer or turkey, you will need to know the 3-digit number code of the town in which the animal was killed. The Town Reporting Codes section lists Connecticut's 169 towns and their identifying numbers. If you killed your deer or turkey on state land, you will also need to know the 3-digit number code of the public hunting area. The Hunting Area Reporting Codes section lists the 3-digit number codes of Connecticut's public hunting areas. See the Public Hunting Areas section for what may legally be hunted on these public hunting areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I report my deer and turkey kills and get a kill report confirmation number?
You can report your kill on the Department's website or by calling the toll free number 1-877-337-4868. After reporting your kill you will be given a confirmation number to write on your Harvest Tag. This confirmation number serves as proof that you have legally reported your kill. You may find that submitting kill reports on the Department's website is much easier than using the telephone reporting system. The telephone reporting system uses an automated attendant that prompts you to answer a series of questions by pressing the appropriate numbered responses. On the website, you answer questions by using convenient drop-down menus. Other advantages of using the website to report your kill is that you can review reports that you have previously submitted and print out copies of these reports for your records.
Reporting Your Kills by Telephone
Call 1-877-337-4868 (1-877-DEP-HUNT) After a short delay, you will hear an introductory message and instructions on how to report by telephone. Hint: You can skip the introductory message by pressing 1 on your phone.
Reporting Your Kills on the Internet
Go to www.ct.gov/deep/hunting and look for the link for reporting deer and turkey kills.

Clare's economy badly needs whatever seasonal boost it will get in the next seven weeks, but with the country spooked by a severe recession and with a tough budget looming, there are fears that festive spending will be down.
Several local business people said that while they are expecting a quieter Christmas than other years, they are hopeful it will still offer an important boost to trade.
Traditionally, the festive period is the busiest time of the year for pubs and Gerry Collins, chairman of the Clare branch of the VFI, said he is hopeful this Christmas will be better than 2009, if for no other reason that weather conditions will almost certainly be more favorable.
"Last year there was such bad frost that it killed things. We're hoping that people will come out this year though," he said.
However, he doesn't expect that there will be jobs for more people in Clare pubs.
"I wouldn't say that many will be taken on. People are struggling to keep what they have employed. They're just battening down the hatches," he said.
The county town's narrow streets are generally crammed with bodies in the week's leading up to Christmas. Rita McInerney, chief executive of Ennis Chamber, she said it is likely that some seasonal jobs will be created.
"Whatever the climate, things always pick up for Christmas and businesses are looking forward to it. It can make up a big portion of takings for the year, particularly in retail and hospitality, and people who have reduced their workforce during the year will hopefully bring in additional staff," she said.
Michael Vaughan of the Shannon branch of the Irish Hotels Federation said there hadn't been a huge demand for Christmas parties in Clare's hotels.
"It's a big worry in business because a lot of people seem to have a wait and see approach, due to the severity of the budget. A lot of people are not seeing the volume of inquiries that would have been expected, but people are doing a lot of different things, like offering less expensive packages," he said.
However, Vaughan said he is hopeful of a late surge. "I would think it will happen in the end but there is more pessimism about it than previously," he said.

One out of every four homes for sale in Kildare is, on average, in a "ghost" estate.
Over 500 homes are lying vacant in 88 ghost estates in Kildare inspected by the National Housing Development Survey commissioned by the Department of Environment (DOE), according to a recent report.
The recent DOE report on ghost estates inspected a total of 88 estates in Kildare, with 8,390 properties that include detached, semi-detached, terrace, duplex and apartments, all falling into this category.
Of those properties, 4,190 are complete and occupied, 563 are completed but lying empty, 241 are near complete with no building activity, 278 are near complete with building activity, and finally construction on a whopping 2,814 has not yet started.
Currently on properties for sale website Daft.ie, there are 2,106 properties listed for sale in Kildare.
Taking that list as representing the minimum number of homes currently on the market, then, on average, one of four homes for sale in Kildare could be in a ghost estate.
The government has since called on Kildare County Council to embrace a new initiative to provide social housing in these ghost estates.
Minister for Housing Michael Finneran last week warned local authorities that he will "find another way" if they do not embrace the government's initiative to provide social housing in ghost estates.

A Lisburn minister has reclaimed a church record for preaching the longest non-stop sermon.
The Reverend Ken McReynolds, rector of Lambeg Parish, preached without a break for five hours 52 minutes on Saturday, October 30, the equivalent of 24 sermons.
The Church of Ireland minister had previously set the record in 2005 with a five-hour sermon, but lost it to an English minister who beat him by 30 minutes.
During his lengthy spell at the pulpit, McReynolds spoke on the principles of living, drawing on the experiences of figures in the Bible.
His wife Dorothy and seven other stalwart parishioners stayed throughout the record attempt, and other members of the congregation did stints to lend moral support.
An hour and a half into his sermon, McReynolds said he started to feel hoarse. His wife went and got him some honey and lemon to ease his throat.
But despite being a genuine record-breaker, the rector will not be featured in the next edition of the Guinness Book of Records as the famous book's rules would have made it too easy for him.
"They demand you stop for 10 minutes every hour -- if I did that I could have gone on all day -- so it is just an unofficial record within church circles," he said.
McReynolds explained his motivation was to raise funds for Craig Dowling, who is embarking on the church army evangelist training program.


text: At about five am this morning (2 May), I woke up to news of people being murdered in and around the site of the Abbassiya (Ministry of Defence) sit-in (#MOF on Twitter, ongoing since late Friday, 27 April). I began following the news online, relying on tweeps who were either already in Abbassiya or on their way there. For the first time since the start of the sit-in, I also paid attention to what the star activists (Alaa Abdel Fattah and Nawara Negm, in this case) had to say about developments—in the vague hope of finding out why, beyond their continued and, to my mind, increasingly irresponsible enthusiasm for "peaceful protests" regardless of the purpose or tenability of the event in question, such cyber-driven "revolutionaries" had sided with the fanatical Salafi supporters of former presidential candidate Hazem Salah Abu Ismail.

Gadzooks! Good 'Zines!
First, Christopher Rowe and Gwenda Bond edit Say... [insert question here], and the latest (fifth) issue is Say...Have You Heard That One?. They're having a subscription drive with prizes. I wasn't as blown away with this issue as with issue four, so if you haven't read that one, be sure, when you buy your subscription, to also ask for back issues (I don't know if they even have any, but it's worth asking). The current issue reads well and is fun, particularly Larry Hammer's story "Paul Bunyan and the Photocopier", which caused me to laugh mightily, because I have lost many hours of my life to evil photocopiers.
My subscriptions have just run out to both Flytrap and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet. This is a bad thing, and I must repent of my sins and soon correct the problem, especially since I have looked upon the latest two issues and I have found them to be Good. The fourth issue of Flytrap seems to me to be the most solid one yet. I don't think it has some of the Truly Extraordinary stories of a couple past issues, but there are also no stories that are just eh. There's a Secret Life by Jeff VanderMeer (this one of a librarian), a bunch o' poems by Daphne Gottlieb, a column by Nick Mamatas that might annoy some people, but that I really loved. Some musing on words by Jed Hartman. Some short reviews. Oh, and fiction. By lots of great people like Karen Meisner, Jeremy Adam Smith, Michael Canfield, Jay Lake, Jeffrey Ford, Theodora Goss, Melissa Marr, and Sonya Taaffe (who is also in Say.... She's the 'Zine Queen. And she's has two books published this year. Eeek -- I just went to the Prime site and discovered that a comment I made here has not only been posted as a blurb, but moves across the top like a CNN scroll on crack! [Blush.] Prime publishes a lot of great books, that's all there is to it.) Jeffrey Ford's "Holt" is odd and enigmatic, and Theodora Goss's "The Belt" is kind of disturbing (in a good way), and one of the best stories I've read from her since the classic "Rose in Twelve Petals" (which may be too recent to be called a classic, but will be seen as such someday, so I don't mind using the word now). I also thought Jay Lake's "The Lizard of Ooze" was probably the best story of his I've read -- utterly zany and wildly inventive.
LCRW is always fun, but the fifteenth issue is particularly fun, with goofy things like Benjamin Rosenbaum and Paul Melko's "Collaborations by Well-Known Twentieth-Century Authors Which Were Rejected By Their Publishers and Are Now Collected", a kind of McSweeney's-esque piece of amusement, but actually amusing (the collaboration between Gertrude Stein & Dr. Seuss: Green Eggs and Ham and Ham and Eggs and Eggs and Ham So Green So Green). The poetry in this issue of LCRW is also quite strong -- by Nan Fry, Mary A. Turzillo, Carol Smallwood, and Suzanne Fischer. All very much worth reading. Gwenda Bond is here, too, as Aunt Gwenda the advice columnist, this time getting a little bit unhinged by the thought of having to live for four more years with George W. Bush as the millionaire in the Oval Office instead of whichever millionaire it was who was running against him (oh, yeah, Treebeard). There are some good short stories this issue, too, though the only piece that was as good as the best stories published in last year's issue is Stepan Chapman's "The Life of Saint Serena", which is the funniest story I've read in a long time. It's truly a perfect story, with not one false sentence. And some of the sentences are about horse excrement.
6 comments:
I defintely agree about your comment regarding Prime, although not all of the book are the first time they have been see,n they show excellent taste. I have enjoyed everything I have read (to some degree) by Mamatas, Jeffrey Thomas, Holly Phillips, Cisco, Kirsten, and looking forward to reading an example of Ms. Vanlente's work soon, and anticipating Matthew Rossi's forthcoming collection 'Bottled Demons' with some anticipation after reading his 'Things that Never Were'ReplyDelete
Big ups to Mr. Wallace for consistently putting out a quality product.
Thanks for the plug -- sorry you didn't take to this issue as much as the last one. I really think it's one of the strongest issues we've ever put out. But then again, I feel that way about every new issue. A hazard of editing.ReplyDelete

Matt, on the Dark Cabal, isn't it SOOOO obvious that this is the same gang that call themselves "The Mundanes?" I also doubt that these are "professionals," but are rather wannabes trying to fool everyone with the snazzy talent they have for writing critiques. Rumor has it that the Dark Cabal's newest member, Ebony and Irony, is Kij Johnson. There's a major spoiler coming out in the next week concerning these two groups, andit is going to be VERY disappointing.ReplyDelete
- Tim Pratt6/27/2005 12:55 PM
I love Jay's "Lizard of Ooze", and it's probably my favorite story of his, too. I first read it a while back when he sent it around for crits, and kept bugging him about it until he let me publish it. :)ReplyDelete
Ha! I love that "anonymous" chides "The Dark Cabal" for anonymity.ReplyDelete
If they do good work, who cares? If they don't, nothing unusual.
I've seen a lot of posts of people connecting the Cabal to Mudane SF. Wouldn't it be funny if we learned, once again, that because we hear a rumor three times, it must be true.
Ah, the sweet smell of rumor and conspiracy.
- Paul Melko7/18/2005 2:20 PM
Matt, we're glad you enjoyed our list of Collaborations. Two more have recently been unearth during the course of our continuous research on the matter. The first is a little known musical called Brigadune by Herbert, Lerner, and Loewe, about two hunters in Scotland who stumble upon a village not shown on any map, where the residents refine a drug excreted by slugs that allows a person to sleep for 100 years. No known copies of the music exist, so no one knows how the tunes go for "The Gathering of Fremen" and "The Thumper on the Hill." The second is a more recent collaboration between John Gray and Kim Stanley Robinson called Men are from Blue Mars. It's a detailed look at the dangers of mixed-sex, deep-space missions, solicited from NASA, but subsequently unpublished as the administration's stance on manned deep-space missions has changed.ReplyDelete
I'm sure there any many more failed collaborations out there, if only we look.

Vail - Colorado's only soul music festival returns to Vail today through Sunday for its third year with hopes of becoming the town's newest music tradition.Soul music is an art form that is loved by people all around the world and Rhonda Jackson, Vail Soul Music Festival founder, wanted to bring that love to Colorado."Vail, I believe, is a great place to unveil music that embraces the soul," she said. "Our main focus is on preserving soul music, as well as showcasing independent and emerging artists in the soul category."When choosing who performs at the festival, she said that it is a matter of careful consideration.The festival coordinators wanted the line-up to have a balance between new as well as classic soul music performers.Allen Stone and Kindred The Family Soul are two of the newer soul performers who will play.Stone, who began his career singing worship music at his father's church, has performed on shows like Conan and Jimmy Kimmel Live after once being introduced to great soul music and the talent of singer-songwriters of the 1960s and '70s.Kindred The Family Soul, a married couple duo based in Philadelphia, performs soulful R&B music mixed with hip hop-minded grooves."Soul music is something we have always had an affection for," said Fatin Dantzler, a member of Kindred The Family Soul. "Naturally, we decided we wanted to do music and that was the kind of music that we loved the most so we gravitated towards it."
This year, two of the classic soul performers on the bill are Jeffrey Osborne and Sugarfoot and the Ohio Players.Osborne's solo career has brought him five gold and platinum albums including "Stay With Me Tonight" and "Only Human."The legendary funk band Sugarfoot and the Ohio Players changed R&B forever with double No. 1 hit songs like "Fire" and "Love Rollercoaster."Most of the performers grew up around soul music and are hoping to touch people's lives through their songs."We have a lot of fun doing concerts for people," said Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner, leader of the Ohio Players. "I have never seen Vail so I'm really looking forward to the show at the outdoor theater."
Although people were hesitant at first to host a soul music festival in Vail, it has blossomed into a great new summer event with the support of locals and visitors alike."I think it is a fantastic addition of diversity to our valley," said Eagle resident Kirsten Texler, who is doing some public relations work for the festival. "I wish we would have had it a lot sooner."Texler attended the concert for the first two years and she plans to go again this year.In order for more people to hear about the event, Jackson and the other festival coordinators have been aggressive on social media and have quite a few media partners helping. Jackson is hoping to see more people at the event this year, she said."We definitely want to make it a tradition," Jackson said. "Vail is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year and we would love to bring (the festival) back so in order to do that, we need the community to support and come out. ... We are just wanting to add another dimension with Colorado's only soul music festival. We are totally, unapologetically committed to soul."Jackson originally felt that bringing music that makes people feel good inside to a type of backdrop like Vail would be explosive in a positive way."We hope that the audience takes away a greater appreciation for the art form," Jackson said. "We hope that the audience is rejuvenated and just begins to look at this as a great summer festival."Mary Kelley Zeleskey is an intern at the Vail Daily and can be reached at 970-777-3120.

NTSB May Drop BlackBerrys for iPhones, Citing Reliability
Research In Motion may be losing another U.S. government customer, but this time the reason isn't fickle employees who prefer to carry around an iPhone.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it's looking to switch from RIM's BlackBerrys to Apple's iPhones because BlackBerrys "have been failing both at inopportune times and at an unacceptable rate," according to a notice the agency posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website, which solicits bids for federal government work.
"The NTSB requires effective, reliable and stable communication capabilities to carry out its primary investigative mission and to ensure employee safety in remote locations," the posting said. The NTSB also noted that iPhones would better link with the agency's already-deployed iPad tablets. An NTSB representative declined to comment further.
Faced with competition from the iPhone and a bevy of other smartphone competitors, RIM is planning to launch a new phone, run off a new operating system, early next year. Despite its declining share of the smartphone market, RIM has said government and corporate clients have continued to prize the reliability and security of its devices and network.
"Government organizations globally have trusted the reliability and security of BlackBerry for over a decade. They can continue to do so," RIM said in a statement.
"We have one million government customers in North America alone who depend on BlackBerry, and more than 400,000 government customers worldwide upgraded their devices in the past year," RIM said.
The NTSB is the latest in a series of big corporate and government clients to turn elsewhere for their smart phone needs. Last month, the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement agency said it would start supplying iPhones to its employees instead of BlackBerrys. Earlier this year, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives made a similar announcement.
Separately, RIM confirmed late Tuesday its e-commerce website, ShopBlackBerry.com, was offline. The site is RIM's main online retail portal, though RIM doesn't rely on it for much of its sales. It offers online customers a number of BlackBerry models and BlackBerry-branded accessories.
"Due to circumstances beyond our control, ShopBlackBerry.com is temporarily unavailable," RIM said in a statement. "We apologize for any inconvenience this situation may cause." RIM didn't elaborate on why the site was down, but said it is "working to restore functionality" on the site.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Advance Directives Are Usually Followed
March 31, 2010 -- Advance directives, which describe the medical care you want to have if you're incapacitated, are honored most of the time, a study shows.
''If you take time out to put together a living will or durable power of attorney for health care, most often you get your wishes," says study researcher Maria J. Silveira, MD, MPH, a clinician scientist at the Ann Arbor VA Medical Center and an assistant professor of medicine, University of Michigan School of Medicine, Ann Arbor.
The study is published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
The results of her new study, Silveira concludes, support the continued use of advance directives.
There are two types of advance directives: a living will or a medical power of attorney, also known as a health care proxy. A living will informs your doctor and your family about the type of treatment you'd want to receive if you are unable to make your own medical decisions. A medical power of attorney assigns a person -- called a health care proxy -- to make the decisions for you.
Advance directives became more common after the passage of the Patient Self-Determination Act in the U.S. 20 years ago, but debate about the usefulness of the documents has been ongoing for several years, Silveira tells WebMD.
During the recent health care reform debate, a proposal to pay back health care providers for advance directives planning discussions through Medicare sparked controversy, raising concern that these advance directives would result in denial of necessary care, Silveira says.
Honoring Advance Directives
Silveira and her colleagues used data from the Health and Retirement study, a nationally representative group of U.S. adults age 51 and older, taken every two years.
They looked just at people 60 and older who had died between 2000 and 2006, asking a family member or other informed person to answer questions about circumstances and decisions after the participant's death, usually within 24 months of the death.
Among the 3,746 people 60 and above who died, 42.5% had to make treatment choices and 70.3% of those did not have the ability to decide for themselves.

I have a Sony Bravia KDL 40EX403 and have PS3 MS 1.20.409 running on linux. I can start up the server ok, but the TV cannot interact with it. In the TV server diagnostics screen I get the error: Server name unknown (192.168.1.7) FAILED.

The RenderName value matches that in the renderer set-up screen on the TV.
A couple of things seem odd in the log that I can't find explanations for after searching these forums:
* Why does getHardwareAddress fail?
* Why does multicast set on 192.168.1.7 but then try and send on 18.104.22.168?
* Why is the multicast socket network interface null?
I have uPNP and multicasting enabled on the router and I can ping the TV from the linux box where I have PS3 MS installed.
Any ideas where I might be going wrong?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

EDWARDS - If Steamboat Springs boys basketball coach Luke DeWolfe shows up at the district tournament at Colorado Mesa completely bald, this is why.
Just one night after falling to Eagle Valley, 41-40, in a heartbreaker, the Sailors broke some hearts Saturday, escaping from Edwards with a 42-41 win at Battle Mountain.
"I definitely may have a few more gray hairs," DeWolfe said. "It's always tough to come back. It's one of those things. I think kids are little more resilient than coaches are."
In an eerie flashback to Friday night's loss to the Devils, the Sailors led 30-20 the Huskies with 1:25 left in the third quarter Saturday, only to see Battle Mountain scrap back to tie it at 41 with 56 seconds left in regulation. With 22 ticks left, the Sailors' Garrett Bye sunk 1-of-2 free throws to provide the winning margin which held when Battle Mountain's Jerry Carrazco's and Alex Banegas' last shots missed the mark at the buzzer.
While officiating played a big role, affecting both sides, the deciding factor was free-throw shooting. Battle Mountain was 5-for 14 from the charity stripe in the second half, while Steamboat was 13-for-17.
"They're giving a lot of effort, but they're making mistakes at the end of the game," Huskies coach Tom Padilla said. "We have to take care of the basketball. We're five points from being 6-1 in this league. That comes from free throws. Besides the turnovers, it's free throws."
Those would be one-point losses to Palisade and the Sailors as well as a 52-49 defeat at Glenwood Springs, and Battle Mountain is 3-4 in the Slope and 7-5 overall.
The star on the line for Steamboat (3-4, 7-5) was junior Carter Kounovsky, who was a cool 11-for-12 from the line in the fourth quarter. He also had a game-high 14 points.
"I missed a couple in the last couple games," Kounovsky said. "I have a list. I'm just trying to let it come."
Cool heads were needed in the second half. DeWolfe felt that two blocking fouls should have been charges going the other way. Meanwhile, Battle Mountain's Joe LyBarger had three buckets in row, followed by a Cody Brown 3 to close the Sailors' lead to 30-29.
The next key moment came with 3:10 left when LyBarger was fouled after a 3-point attempt, according to the officials. Thinking that he was going to the line for three attempts, LyBarger apparently celebrated a little to much and was whistled for a technical foul. Padilla felt the foul came during LyBarger's shot and that the Huskies were entitled to three shots. The coach also got whistled for a technical.
After everything was settled, LyBarger missed both his freebies, while Kounovsky was 3-for-4, giving the Sailors a 37-31 lead.
The Huskies kept battling and Carrazco nailed a 3 with 56 seconds left to tie it at 41.
Sailors cruise in opener
Saturday's girls lidlifter was a lot more simple.
Just let McKenzie Repollo shoot the ball. The senior knocked down seven 3s and the Sailors cruised for a 53-18 win.
"We played a complete four quarters," said Sailors coach John Ameen, whose team moved to 2-5 and 5-7. "We shot the ball incredibly well today. When shots go in, it makes everything easier."
"As the game went on, it just kept flowing," Repollo said. "I practice shooting all the time. I shoot at least 100 3s everyday probably. It feels just great to do it in a game."
Both sets of teams are on the road Saturday. Steamboat Springs heads to Glenwood, while the Huskies are at Delta.

MONTE SERENO -- In the middle of the night, from her 7,000-square foot mansion behind 8-foot fences and an electronic security gate topped with gold-pointed finials, Harinder Kumra frantically begged police for help.
Intruders had ransacked her home and left, she told a 911 dispatcher just after 1:30 a.m. Friday. She had been beaten. And when police arrived, they found her husband, Ravi Kumra -- a multimillionaire venture capitalist who once owned the historic Mountain Winery -- dead on the floor.
She didn't recognize the assailants, she told police. But there was at least one, she said, maybe three or four of them.
The brazen home invasion in the wealthy enclave of Monte Sereno, nestled in the oak-studded hills between Los Gatos and Saratoga, shocked neighbors who were terrified that killers were still on the loose. It's the first homicide in the city since 1972.
Several neighbors gathered outside the Kumras' gate Friday afternoon hoping to hear that the crime was not a random burglary that could have struck any of them.
"We all live in fear that someone is breaking into this house at 1:30 in this neighborhood," said Chris Abate, who lives across the street.
"This is such a rare occurrence here."
But police, who worked into the night Friday collecting evidence on the 3-acre hillside property, would say only that it was too soon to tell.
Police declined to answer many questions, including how or why Ravi Kumra was killed and for how long the couple might have been terrorized before the assailants fled. They also declined to say whether anything was taken from the home and whether the security gate was open or closed when police arrived.
Kumra, 66, had owned many businesses over the years but was best known in the community for owning the Mountain Winery on Pierce Road in the 1990s, a scenic winery built by vintner Paul Masson that for decades has been a popular concert venue. Before selling it in 1999, he had considered subdividing part of it to build an estate for his family on it.
Kumra owned Western Cellular Management, which lists its business address as the family home on Withey Road, its number of employees as two and its annual revenue as $2.5 million.
According to public records, the Foundation for World Awakening was, at least at one point, also located at that address. A brass plaque on the front wrought-iron fence names the property as "Villa Constanza" but no one with that name lives there.
Scott Seaman, chief of the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department, would say only that the woman who called police was frantic, that a man was found dead on the floor when police arrived and that the house looked ransacked.
"There are papers on the floor, a carpet was moved," Seaman told reporters. "Clearly the house had been gone through."
The house is so large, he said, that detectives from several agencies, including Campbell, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara County, were helping investigate and collect evidence.
One neighbor, who wanted to remain anonymous out of fear he could be targeted, said his wife had heard popping noises at 11:30 p.m. Thursday and again at about 1:30 a.m. Friday -- close to the time Harinder Kumra called police. In the midst of a rain and wind storm, the neighbor said, his wife "thought it was a tree coming down. She described it as a 'pop, pop, pop.'"
Police declined to name the victim, waiting to get more information from the coroner's office. But a nephew of the Kumras, reached by this newspaper, confirmed that his uncle was dead and aunt injured.
"He was really smart, and really good with numbers," said the nephew, who wanted to remain anonymous.
His aunt, who was hospitalized, he said, "is going to be OK."
Neighbors barely knew the couple. Unlike many residents who regularly walk their dogs or bicycle along Withey Road, they rarely saw the Kumras.
"They were the mystery couple on the street," said Steve Mortara, who lives just up the road. "No one saw them."
Still, he wants to believe the couple knew the intruders.
"Look at those alarms. They have gates," Mortara said. "I would venture to say someone knew them. Something's fishy about this."
The neighborhood is so exclusive and elegant that a fundraising tour of three estates nearby was under way Friday as police processed the crime scene on Withey Road. At one of the tour homes on a hillside overlooking the Kumra property, women on the tour pressed their noses to the windows to watch a news helicopter circle the sprawling estate with a red-tiled Mansard roof below.
While rare, murders are not unheard of in this community. Nearly three years ago, just a few hillsides over, a Saratoga man and his grown daughter were terrorized and beaten for hours by a handyman, plus an accomplice, who had worked on the property. Charlie Maridon, 96, died of his injuries a few days later. One suspect was killed in a shootout with police months later. The other was apprehended.
And in 2008, popular Los Gatos restaurateur Mark Achilli was gunned down in his driveway -- "a bow and arrow shot over this back lot," said Kumras neighbor Mortara. Achilli was the victim of a murder-for-hire scheme by Paul Garcia, who had bought Mountain Charley's Saloon from Achilli months earlier and coveted Achille's girlfriend. Garcia was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Sgt. Mike D'Antonio of the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department at 408-827-3219, or contact police communications at 408-354-6843 after business hours.

there's no question that the Vail Valley is home to some of the best views in the state. While birds may have the best vantage point, we humans can reach some spectacular summits on our own two feet. Hiking is a favorite past time in the area, affording world-class views with just a few basic tools: a good pair of shoes, some basic supplies and a destination. Here are 10 epic day hikes to conquer this summer.
In Your Backyard
There's no need to go traipsing around the state for a memorable hike — Vail's backyard is crisscrossed with hikes of varying lengths and difficulties, culminating in lofty peaks or idyllic mountain lakes. Some of these trails are more difficult due to rapid elevation gain; others are epic in length. A few are a combination of both.
Deluge Lake
Taking you high above Vail to an isolated mountain lake, Deluge Lake is a path less traveled, mostly due to the fact that the trail gains 2,300 feet in 2 miles. However, if you're willing to make the climb, the views of Grand Traverse Peak and the pristine lake are well worth the effort.
Grand Traverse
One of the most iconic sights in the Vail Valley is the ridgeline of the Grand Traverse. Made up of two 13,000-foot peaks, North Traverse Peak and Grand Traverse Peak, it's an audacious goal, but totally feasible for a one day hike. This route is not for the faint of heart and requires quite a bit of scrambling on the traverse, but at the end you'll gain a true bird's eye view of the Vail Valley.
Gore Lake and Red-Buffalo Pass
An East Vail gem, the hike to Gore Lake has steep sections but is an overall pleasant hike, taking you through aspen groves and wetland meadows full of wildflowers. At the 4-mile mark, you'll come across the grave marker for the Recen brothers, who were early settlers in the valley. This marks the junction: Go to the north and reach Gore Lake, a popular camping spot at this high alpine lake. The other branch leads to the saddle of Red-Buffalo Pass which, at 11,740 feet, overlooks Red Peak and Buffalo Mountain. If you make arrangements for a ride home, then you can continue down and hike all the way to Silverthorne.
Fancy Pass to Missouri Pass Loop
This loop hike has all of the elements of an epic hike: well-marked trails, high mountain passes, lakes, tarns and some amazing natural beauty. The deep ravines carved by Fancy Creek and Missouri Creek provide spectacular views along the trail; the Missouri Lakes (there are about 14 lakes and tarns included in the name) are a destination unto themselves. The pot of gold is Treasure Vault Lake, located in a hanging valley between the two passes.
Mount of the Holy Cross
With a summit elevation of just over 14,000 feet (14,005, to be exact), the Mount of the Holy Cross may not be the highest of Colorado's 14ers, but it is one of the more difficult peaks to summit. After climbing over Half Moon Pass on the way to Holy Cross, you'll actually lose about 1,000 feet during a descent to East Cross Creek, which can be daunting during a climb. Keep up your spirits, as the summit is worth the effort (plus, you'll have to do it again on the way back). However, be sure to follow the same route back down the north ridge after summiting, as hikers can become lost by not returning to East Cross Creek on the main trail.
Mount Powell
Though Mount Powell isn't a 14er (its elevation is 13,580 feet), it is the highest peak in the Gore Range, and summiting this peak is a journey that warrants bragging rights. The difficulty in this hike isn't necessarily the elevation gain, though it's substantial. Navigating the summit requires a topographical map and a compass or GPS, as the trail can disappear, making bushwhacking necessary.
"Climbing Mount Powell is really good because there's a spur trail that goes behind Piney Lake that takes you off the beaten path," said Dr. Jon Kedrowski, a Vail local that wrote the book (literally) on hiking and sleeping on 14ers. "It's a combination of on-trail and off-trail hiking. Once you get off of the main Piney Lake Trail, you're by yourself. For solitude in the valley, it's a good one to do."
Further Afield
The following hikes are located a bit further afield but are worthy of consideration because of their epic nature. From classic excursions to brag-worthy feats of endurance, these hikes will require a bit more planning but are worth it in the end.
The Colorado Trail: Copper to Camp Hale (Searle and Kokomo Pass)
The Colorado Trail, which runs 500 miles from Denver to Durango, passes through Summit County and into Eagle County at Camp Hale. Start on the east side of Copper Mountain Resort and you can trace the CO trail above timberline, over Searle Pass and onto Kokomo Pass and the east end of Elk Ridge at the 12,000-foot level before leading into Camp Hale. An invaluable location during WWII, this area is home to the Climax Molybdenum Mine and was also the training ground for the 10th Mountain Division. Explore this trail with a little help from a friend: You'll need to arrange transport to be dropped off or picked up at either end.
The Decalibron Loop
The so-called Decalibron (a mash-up of mounts Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln and Bross) loop allows you to summit two (or three) 14ers in a day, with Cameron as an added bonus. Cameron is a disputed 14er as the valley between it and Lincoln isn't quite high enough to be official, but you can count it if you'd like. Additionally, Mount Bross is privately owned and is currently illegal to climb; you can still take in the view of the peak. Even with these restrictions, it's an epic trek and one that is a crowning achievement for a hiking enthusiast. This hike is located in Park County, about a 1.5 hour drive from Vail.
Aspen to Crested Butte (Maroon Pass)
You can drive the 100 miles from Aspen to Crested Butte or you can just hike it. The 9-mile trail takes you past the waters of Maroon Lake, which reflects the stunning vista of the 14,000-foot Maroon Bells, perhaps one of the most photographed views in Colorado. Cross over the top of Maroon Pass, traversing small streams and frolicking in fields of wildflowers before descending to the trailhead in Crested Butte. Masochists can turn around and return to Aspen, but staying a night in Crested Butte before returning home is highly recommended. There is a shuttle service that'll take you into town, or make arrangements for a friend to provide a lift.
The definition of an epic hike can vary from person to person. For someone coming from sea level, hiking to Beaver Lake could be epic. For seasoned scramblers, Mount of the Holy Cross could be a walk in the park. In the end, it's all about enjoying the unique aspects of our surroundings.
"I think it's all about getting up and enjoying the views of the valley," Kedrowski said. "Mountains really build your character."

This is test story
This is a good use of a Sub Headline
Chris Morgan | 3/19/2013, 10:58 a.m.
Beyoncé quietly dropped a bomb on Sunday when she posted a preview of her new music to her website.
"Bow Down/I Been On," which appears to be two different tracks compressed into one, is the first new offering from Mrs. Carter since she released her album "4" in 2011.
If this new sound is any indication, the singer's upcoming album will remind everyone that Queen Bey is holding onto her crown.
In the first half of the offering, "Bow Down" is explicit - in more ways than one.
"I took some time to live my life, but don't think I'm just his little wife," Beyoncé sings/warns on the Hit Boy-produced track. "Don't get it twisted ... bow down, b*s." She repeats that latter demand while giving love to "H-town" throughout.
About a minute-and-a-half in, the song switches gears to the syrupy "I Been On," which MTV describes as "another far cry from Bey's usual glimmering pop&B formula, as the siren's vocals are transformed Houston chopped-and-screwed style."
Billboard concurs that this is a departure for her, as it's a move away "from the triumphant, glistening pop most are used to hearing from Beyoncé. Instead, it's a gritty, Houston rap-tinged track that features an empowered Bey growling."
The music website called it "an odd sampling, though, as the track only uses Beyoncé's signature vocal technique through the first minute before it devolves into a menacing, pitched-down rap that sounds more like a Hit Boy mixtape track."

Reviewed By: A customer from TX, USA on 9/14/12
I bought one of these from a local shop in order to keep track of my mileage on my daily commute. It had been a while since I had set one of these up, but the instructions were clear enough to set up in no time at all. Everything was fine until 3 weeks later when I noticed that my mileage wasn't adding up. I found out later that the unit was shorting out whenever I would hit a bump or rut in the road, which is almost all the time. Not too happy.

The waters of Bali, Indonesia, are home to this otherworldly creature, a peacock mantis shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus). The shrimp feeds by smashing open its prey until it can feed on its tissue.
Galápagos Penguin
Photograph by David Doubilet
In an apparent moment of solitude and safety, a Galápagos penguin forages in the waters off the South American islands. But danger abounds for this small creature, whose population has been reduced to less than a thousand breeding pairs throughout the archipelago. Predators such as sharks and hawks kill the penguins. Temperature-driven food shortages starve adults. And human hazards—habitat disturbance and destruction, discarded waste from tourists and fishermen, and dangerous fishing nets—are pushing the creatures closer to extinction.

Its sharp eyes trained on potential prey, a Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas) patrols the waters of Mexico's Gulf of California. At their largest, jumbo, or Humboldt, squid can reach six feet (two meters) long and weigh more than 100 pounds (45 kilograms). Scientists estimate that more than ten million squid live in a 25-square-mile (65-square-kilometer) area in the Gulf of California.

On the hunt for food in the waters of Japan's Izu Oceanic Park, a squid focuses its prominent eyes for prey. Although the squid has eight arms, it uses its longer tentacles to snare its catch, passing its meal to the arms, which then guide it into the mouth.
Crab and Sea Urchins

A smooth trunkfish (Lactophrys triqueter) swims through its coral habitat off Grand Turk Island in the Caribbean. Solitary in nature, the trunkfish blows water out of its mouth to expose prey such as mollusks, crustaceans, worms, and sponges.

Moving as one, a school of sweetlips explores the waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Sweetlips are often accompanied by the cleaner wrasse, a fish that grooms them and keeps their skin and mouths free of infection-causing parasites.

Holding the line of its near vertical posture, a yellow trumpetfish swims gracefully in the waters of the Tuamotu archipelago in French Polynesia. Trumpetfish tend to align themselves with other vertical objects, often hiding alongside larger upright-oriented fish to get closer to prey.
Sea Squirts and Clingfish

A colony of sea squirts forms a colorful landscape, ample hiding place for an Eastern cleaner-clingfish (Cochleoceps orientalis) in the Tasman Sea off the coast of Australia. The tiny fish, which cleans parasites from the bodies of larger fish, fights strong currents by anchoring itself with a sucker disc on its abdomen.
Red Sea Star

Stretched out in brilliant red, a sea star, or starfish, is one of the beauties among marine life in the Galápagos Islands. Sea stars not only have the ability to regenerate a body part that has been lost, but they can also self-amputate an appendage if they are injured or under attack.

Nancy Ann Rohrbach, 78, died on November 15, 2012 at ManorCare in Spokane, Wash. after a struggle with cancer. She was born to Stella I. (Andrews) and Adams A. Turner of Tiffin, Ohio on February 28, 1934. She graduated from Columbian High School in Tiffin in 1952, attended Bowling Green University following graduation, and married John E. Creeger in 1955. After the end of that marriage, she moved to Emmett, Idaho, where she earned her teaching certificate from the College of Idaho-Caldwell in 1961. In 1962, she married Richard C. Rohrbach, also of Tiffin. She taught elementary school in Caldwell, Emmett, and Priest River, all of Idaho. She particularly loved her special education students and advocated for the rights of migrant workers' children to be integrated into mainstream classrooms.
In 1969, she moved to Sandpoint, Idaho where she lived until 2004. She owned and operated a daycare in Sandpoint for many years. Nancy adored children, and had the heart of a teacher until the very end of her life.
In 2004, Nancy moved to Minnesota and in 2009 returned to Spokane. She was a resident of Maplewood Gardens in Spokane from 2009 until September of 2012, when she entered ManorCare. An accomplished painter, Nancy was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary, the Order of the Eastern Star and the Sandpoint Senior Center. She loved to dance and garden, and was an excellent baker and a voracious reader. She had a beautiful voice, loved music of all kinds and had an extensive collection of angel figurines. She also liked to discuss politics and current events, attend the Minnesota Opera and the ballet, go to museums, dine out, shop and play cards and computer games. Nancy was a loyal friend and loved spending time with her many grandchildren and "great-grands."
Nancy was a devout Christian, and was a long-time member of the First Presbyterian Church in Sandpoint. In 2004, she was confirmed Lutheran. She was a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Belview, where her daughter serves as pastor. She taught her children to follow Jesus Christ and place their trust in Him, which was the most important lesson she could impart. She is now released as a lamb to her Shepherd, with sadness, but with the sure hope of the resurrection to eternal life.
She is survived by her daughters, Melody (Ronald) Hunt of Sandpoint, Idaho; Alissa (David) Eyre of Chattaroy, Wash.; Rev. Pari (Rev. Trevor) Bailey of Belview; stepsons Steve (Cynthia) Rohrbach of The Farm, Tenn., John (Holly) Rohrbach of Yuba City, Cal., Matthew Rohrbach of Willard, Ohio; her grandchildren, Brooks Hunt of Spokane, Heather (Brian) Potack of Ferndale, Wash., Rebekah (Rev. Forrest) Tucker of Nashotah, Wisc., Isaiah (fiancee Amy Arend) Eyre of Moscow, Idaho, Rachel (Dr. Riccardo) Capezza of Boise, Idaho, Matthew Eyre of Spokane, Andrew Eyre of Spokane, Nathan Eyre of Chattaroy, Esther Eyre of Chattaroy and Pari Elizabeth Bailey of Belview. She is also survived by 11 great-grandchildren and eight step-grandchildren; two sisters, Rayella (Philip) Engle of Tiffin, Ohio and Pari Carter of Clyde, Ohio and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Service of Holy Eucharist and Christian Burial was held at Christ the King Anglican Church in Spokane on Monday, November 19, 2012 and interment was at Pinecrest Cemetery in Sandpoint, Idaho.
