I'm relatively new to CAD and are using it for shipmodeling. As such I would have an image of old plans from which I am building data. However as I've been experimenting I've found that when I've saved, closed and then returned to the program - the image has disappeared. The outline of where it was still highlights, and can be selected but the image itself is not visible.
Is there a reason this happens.
I've checked draft mode and normal and it makes no difference.
I've tried re-adding the image - it ends up on top of all my work, hiding it.
Any suggestions

A story about a 25-year feud between Oakland hills neighbors over trees and views incorrectly stated the date of the Oakland City Council meeting.
OAKLAND -- Phyllis Bishop has fought long and hard with her former neighbors Okhoo and Ernest Hanes for her right to clear trees and maintain the panoramic views from the Oakland hills home that she purchased with her late husband Lloyd in 1964.
"I want to bring to an end this exhausting case of justice, long delayed and still not resolved," the 95-year-old told Oakland City Council at its Tuesday night meeting.
Finally, Bishop got her wish.
In a unanimous decision, the council upheld Bishop's right to an unobstructed view under the Oakland View Ordinance, effectively ending a decade-long legal feud between the neighbors.
That decision allows for clearing and topping trees on public land adjacent to the Bishops' home. The Haneses had appealed to stop the tree cutting.
"Cutting destroys a public asset and destroys the beauty of the Oakland hills for the sake of one property owner," said Okhoo Hanes at Tuesday's meeting. "Oakland's View Ordinance violates the Environmental Protection Act of 1970."
In addition, the council voted to remove an indemnity provision that would have made Bishop liable if anyone sued the city for cutting down trees on public land.
The dispute began after the Haneses, both 55, moved into their home on Winton Drive in 1984, next door and downhill from the Bishops. Today, both homes are rented out. The Bishops moved to a retirement community in Oakland in 2009 and the Haneses live in Napa.
Unlike neighbors in the past, the Haneses refused to trim trees on their property that began to obstruct the Bishops' views across the bay. In 2003, the Bishops took their neighbors to court.
On Oct. 27, 2011, after years of legal wrangling that hinged around Oakland's View Ordinance -- and two days after Lloyd Bishop died -- the Bishops won their case and the Haneses were forced to clear 25 acacias, pines and redwoods from their property.
However, after the Haneses' trees were removed, Bishop realized that trees on city land were also blocking her views and sought permission to have them removed or trimmed. In January, the Oakland City Council approved cutting 15 trees and topping another 21 from the public land. The Haneses lodged an appeal.
Oakland property owner Mary McCallister supported the Haneses' view at Tuesday's meeting.
"You have the opportunity to examine Oakland's ordinance which is in violation of state law," said McCallister, who said she came to speak on behalf of trees and their benefits to the environment.
Bishop's attorney Barri Bonapart also appealed to the council to remove an indemnity provision that would make Bishop liable for lawsuits against the city over tree removal on public land.
"As a practical matter, the City Council is telling Mrs. Bishop she can't go forward for fear of getting sued," said Bonapart. "I hope and pray that Phyllis will see this resolved in her lifetime."
District 4 Council member Libby Schaaf, who represents the residents on Winton Drive, said she is "very familiar with the passionate feelings about views and trees."
"I want to assure both appellants that I come with an open mind," Schaaf said.
However, she urged her council colleagues to deny the Haneses' appeal and also remove the indemnity provision as it was written after the appellants' case was already underway.
"I ask my colleagues to deny the appeal and go ahead with the restoration of views under the ordinance," Schaaf said. "I ask that the indemnity provision not be imposed here, but imposed on future cases."
After the unanimous council vote in her favor, Bishop expressed satisfaction with the resolution.
"It's a great relief," said Bishop outside council chambers. "We've spent so many years working on this. It was so frustrating not being able to work with the neighbors. They promised to discuss it, but instead put up a chain-link fence between our properties and a 'No Trespassing' sign."

Well, that was some show Phish put on last night at the Bayou in
Washington D.C. (11/16/91). At this writing, I have only seen
PHISH 3 times, all at the Bayou (late 1989, Spring 1990, and last
night). Luckily, I was dancing next to a guy who knew all the song
titles, so I was clued in on the songs I didn't know.
The opening act was a very capable fingerpicker whose name I cannot
recall, but whose music was quite excellent (Mike somebody). Then, until
Phish came on, the club showed a video of old Rush in concert, which
was awesome (to a Rush fan from way back). At 11:05 p.m.,the boys
came on, cranking out a tight, fast first set including
Uncle Penn
Runaway Jim
It's Ice =>
Sparkle =>
Foam (in hyperactive double-time)
The set break was filled with selections from Rush's latest album,
"Roll The Bones", which is a very strong release and sounds even
better at club volumes. The second set (starting at 1:00 a.m.)
My Sweet One
Bathtub Gin (ending in an aural meltdown frenzy)
Taking advantage of a break between songs, Henrietta officially
renamed the band "Mrs. Pizza Shit", a phrase blurted out by Trey
several times during the show thus far.
Trey then made an announcement of special guests in the audience,
including his mother, and two co-authors to several Phish tunes
(those in the know, fill in the blanks).
The first few bars of "You Enjoy Myself" were played before coming
to an abrupt halt. Trey then confirmed that the band were quite
serious in their name change to "Mrs. Pizza Shit". The band then
kicked back into the song, replete with synchronized bouncing on the
part of Trey & Mike, and a HUGE funky jam (and I wrote that on my
set list about half of the way through the jam) and a long "Mrs. Pizza
Shit" vocal rap at the end.
Horn =>
Chalk Dust Torture
Terrapin (w/ vintage vacuum cleaner)
The encores were
Glide (announced as a new tune)
Rocky Top
Sweet! Thanks to Scott Javage of Philadelphia, PA for helping me out
with song titles and the words to "Llama". I saw four tapers in the
audience, so who has tapes? 'Fess up!

Last weekend's icy weather delayed the Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department's annual Santa Run for a week, but the jolly old elf was back Sunday, hitching a ride on a fire truck as he visited kids in Oak Grove and surrounding neighborhoods.
Two-year-old Brycen Pritchett was among the children who received some candy and small gifts from Santa Claus Sunday afternoon.
"We were expecting Santa last week, so I explained that the fire trucks probably couldn't make it in the snow," said Brycen's grandmother, Dena Huck.

"Awesome" said 5-year-old Austyn Kephart as Santa Claus visited his home during the Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department's annual Santa Run Sunday afternoon. In the background is Oak Grove VFD Chief Brian Pracht.
She said the Santa Run is an annual event for her family who have lived in the area for the last 28 years.
"We would wait for the Oak Grove fire trucks to come by every year," she said. "It's become a tradition for our family."
Five-year-old Austyn Kephart could barely contain his excitement as Sunday morning dawned, according to his mom, Buffy Kephart.
Fact Box
Santa Run
Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department's annual Santa Run was held Sunday.
Each year the department's fire trucks take Santa Claus to visit children throughout the Oak Grove VFD service area.
Oak Grove Fire Chief Brian Pracht said several hundred children receive candy and a small gift from Santa.
The Santa Run is estimated to be at least 50 years old.

"He woke up and shouted, 'Mom, it's Santa day,'" she said.
Austyn, who described the Santa Run as "awesome," told St. Nick what he wanted for Christmas, then handed him a couple of cookies.
"I hope he tries them, we just made them with Nana and Papa," he said.
Oak Grove VFD Chief Brian Pracht said the run allows hundreds of children to meet with Santa and receive a few treats every year. But the trip also helps the department keep up to date with residents within Oak Grove's service area.
"Santa probably meets with several hundred kids each year, and it helps us keep up some good public relations with the entire community," he said. "We also get to meet new neighbors who may have moved into the area."
Kendra Palmer took some photos of her 2-year-old son, Grant, who came out to meet Santa at their Oak Grove Lane home Sunday afternoon.
"I like it," she said. "I grew up doing this with my family every year. It's such a nice tradition, and now Grant can do the same thing."
Pracht said the department has conducted the Santa Run for a long time.
"I'm 43 now, and they've been doing this as long as I can remember," he said. "And most of the guys in our department grew up with it."

Pollen is produced by trees, grasses and weeds, and it floats in the air. The key to eliminating or reducing exposure to pollen is to keep outside air out, or filter it before it comes inside. The normal filters on an air conditioning unit are quite adequate for this.
Here are a few other ways to reduce pollen exposure.
If possible, keep windows and outside doors shut during pollen season, especially during the daytime.
If you have central or room air conditioning, use it so you can keep windows and outside doors shut.
Use of swamp coolers is discouraged because of the increased potential for dust mite and mold growth, which both thrive in humidity.
Consider pollen counts when planning outdoor activities. It may help to limit your outdoor activities during the times of highest pollen and mold counts.
Outdoor activities may be better tolerated after a gentle, sustained rain.
Encourage hand washing after outdoor play to avoid transferring pollen from the hands to the eyes and nose.
If you are outdoors during high pollen counts, take a shower and wash your hair when you come inside.
If you are outdoors during high pollen counts, change your clothes (not in your bedroom) when you come indoors and leave these clothes in the laundry room.
Dry laundry in a dryer only; avoid hanging clothes outside to dry.
Drive with your windows closed. If it is hot, use your air conditioner.
Keep pets that spend time outdoors out of the bedroom. In addition to animal dander allergens, they may carry and deposit pollen stuck to their fur.

The BBC is offering an amateur cyclist an opportunity to ride the first stage of this year's Tour de France on the eve, with a historic UK Grand Depart, and blog it all. That's definetly a pick me, pick me for our readers across the pond.
4 Comments
I'm going to the first stage. How do I sign up for that sweet prize? :)
Poo. Rule #1: This competition is open to UK residents only. Overseas entries will not be considered.
I tried to enter the British Cyclosportive Event, but the registrations filled up in under a day. The only way to sign up now is by paying 250+ Euros and go with a tour company. That's a bit steep, but I'm considering it.
Totally do it—if you've got the time and opp. It's on my list of things to do. If you do, blog it all and we'll link it up.

The bitter melon (also known as bitter gourd) looks like a cucumber but with ugly gourd-like bumps all over it.
As the name implies, this vegetable is a melon that is bitter. There are two varieties of this vegetable: One grows to about 20 cm long, is oblong and pale green in color. The other is the smaller variety, less than 10 cm long, oval and has a darker green color.
Both varieties have seeds that are white when unripe and that turn red when they are ripe. The vegetable-fruit turn reddish-orange when ripe and becomes even more bitter.
Bitter gourd thrives in hot and humid climates, so are commonly found in Asian countries and South America.
Westerners may not be so used to bitter melons, so may find them more difficult to consume. But if you can generally take bitter taste, you may be able to take this too. Try it, at least for all its healthful virtues!
Nutritional Benefits
Bitter gourds are very low in calories but dense with precious nutrients. It is an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, and B3, C, magnesium, folic acid, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, and has high dietary fiber. It is rich in iron, contains twice the beta-carotene of broccoli, twice the calcium of spinach, and twice the potassium of a banana.
Bitter melon contains a unique phyto-constituent that has been confirmed to have a hypoglycemic effect called charantin. There is also another insulin-like compound known as polypeptide P which have been suggested as insulin replacement in some diabetic patients.
Health Benefits
Few other fruits/vegetables offer medicinal properties for these ailments like bitter melon does.
Blood disorders: Bitter gourd juice is highly beneficial for treating blood disorders like blood boils and itching due to toxemia. Mix 2 ounces of fresh bitter gourd juice with some lime juice. Sip it slowly on an empty stomach daily for between four and six months and see improvement in your condition.
Cholera: In early stages of cholera, take two teaspoonfuls juice of bitter gourd leaves, mix with two teaspoonfuls white onion juice and one teaspoonful lime juice. Sip this concoction daily till you get well.
Diabetes mellitus: Bitter melon contains a hypoglycemic compound (a plant insulin) that is highly beneficial in lowering sugar levels in blood and urine. Bitter melon juice has been shown to significantly improve glucose tolerance without increasing blood insulin levels.
Energy: Regular consumption of bitter gourd juice has been proven to improve energy and stamina level. Even sleeping patterns have been shown to be improved/stabilized.
Eye problems: The high beta-carotene and other properties in bitter gourd makes it one of the finest vegetable-fruit that help alleviate eye problems and improving eyesight.
Hangover: Bitter melon juice may be beneficial in the treatment of a hangover for its alcohol intoxication properties. It also help cleanse and repair and nourish liver problems due to alcohol consumption.
Immune booster: This bitter juice can also help to build your immune system and increase your body's resistance against infection.
Piles: Mix three teaspoonfuls of juice from bitter melon leaves with a glassful of buttermilk. Take this every morning on empty stomach for about a month and see an improvement to your condition. To hasten the healing, use the paste of the roots of bitter melon plant and apply over the piles.
Psoriasis: Regular consumption of this bitter juice has also been known to improve psoriasis condition and other fungal infections like ring-worm and athletes feet.
Respiratory disorders: Take two ounces of fresh bitter melon juice and mix with a cup of honey diluted in water. Drink daily to improve asthma, bronchitis and pharyngitis.
Toxemia: Bitter gourd contains beneficial properties that cleanses the blood from toxins. Sip two teaspoonfuls of the juice daily to help cleanse the liver. Also helpful in ridding jaundice for the same reasons.

Excitement resounded in Summit swim coach Jenny Wischmeyer's voice when she spoke of the Tigers' second-place finish in Saturday's league relay meet.
It was the first time Summit swam against its new Western Slope competition.
"It's huge for us. We never go to any meet and finish second," she said, later adding, "I don't think we finished above seventh in the JeffCo league in 12 years. ... I hope it bodes well for the season. It would be awesome to finish in the top 4, even the top 3 in the league meet. ... I guess it's just the league relay meet, so we don't really know, but it's kind of a good sign."
Another good sign is Summit's 200-yard freestyle relay team taking third place with a time of 1 minute, 59 seconds Saturday. That beats Tuesday's time of 2:01, however, there's still a lot of improvement to be had; last year's relay, which nearly qualified for state, swam a time of 1:51.5, just a half-second short of the qualifying time of 1:51.00.
Three of the relay's swimmers return - Megan Hogfeldt, Kitt Maxwell and Olya Aden - and are joined by team captain Evans this year.
Another highlight was the 200-yard backstroke relay, which consisted of Maddy O'Malley, Megan Hogfeldt, Kitt Maxwell and Lisa Evans as anchor. The relay finished third as well, in a time of 2:24.63. Several other relays had fifth-, sixth- and seventh-place finishes.
Divers Abby Akers and Molly Sharr finished third in the relay meet while Rayna Marcias and Kimberly Coffin placed fourth.
In Friday's face-off between Summit and Aspen on the ice, Aspen found itself behind early in the first period, 1-0, but gained momentum to take the win, 5-1.
"Again, we were right there with them for the majority of the game, then things got a little out of control and a little chippy and we were unable to convert on some power play opps we had," head coach Chris Ruhly said. "Again, there's some teaching and learning that needs to be taken care of. We open up conference play next weekend, so we've got a lot of work to do between now and then."
George Kasch opened up the game with a goal assisted by Peter Grotemeyer, but Aspen answered with two more goals in the first period, followed by two in the second and one in the third. Aspen's Jack Doremus sunk two of those goals, with other teammates spreading out the rest of the scoring.
Summit's Wyatt Dickerson tended goal, taking 38 shots and making 33 saves. Alex Parrish of Aspen fielded 22 shots and 21 saves, with Evan Morris in goal for a portion of the game. The team is now 1-4 on the season.
In a meet full of strong wrestling teams, Summit emerged from the Wheat Ridge Invitational with three wrestlers placing.
Carlos Lopez placed fourth in the 106-pound class, Bryan Daniel took third in the 113-pound class and Nick Wittrock finished second at 126.
"It was a hard tournament. There were good schools there. We don't go to any easy meets. They got to wrestle some tough competitors and they wrestled really good," head coach Pete Baker said.
Any losses were from minor mistakes that come from being new to wrestling, the coach added.
Most of his weight classes were filled in Saturday's meet, with some doubling up in the lighter classes and a few wrestlers out sick or with injury and just two missing due to ineligibility. Eleven wrestlers traveled to Wheat Ridge.
"The highlight was the way Nick wrestled. He wrestled really well - and Bryan lost the first round to a kid from Arvada and came back to beat that kid for third place," Baker said, adding that sophomore Daniel Lopez, in his first year of wrestling, won a few of his matches at Saturday's meet.
The Summit boys' basketball team attended the Skyline Tournament Friday and Saturday, facing Thornton the first night and Eaglewood on Saturday afternoon.
The team lost to Thornton, 64-54, with sophomore Thomas DeBonnville tallying 21 points as the team's scoring leader. He racked up five 2-pointers, three 3-pointers and was two of four from the line. Senior Coy Coker was the second leading scorer with 13 points comprised of three 2-pointers and two 3-pointers. DeBonnville had six steals and two assists while Coker had three steals and six assists.
"It was a good close game most of the night," head coach Phil Tronsrue said. "They ended up pulling away late in the fourth quarter, because we had missed some shots and we had to foul and they stepped to the line and made their free throws."
The team faced off with Eaglewood Saturday, but the night ended at the hospital after a player was kneed in the head to cause a concussion, delaying the coach's response.

Ryan Seacrest wants off "American Idol," according to RadarOnline.
The website reports Seacrest is preparing to bail from the show after this season, when his two-season, $30 million contract expires. Seacrest has hosted "American Idol" for 13 seasons.
"Ryan is telling friends that this season of 'Idol' is likely to be his last," an insider reportedly told Radar. "He's lost the passion for it, and desperately wants to do different things at this point in his career, like produce the Oscars and start developing more of his original ideas."
Hello William Hung variety show!
Seacrest is also eyeing scaling back his red carpet presence.
This is troubling, indeed.
"Ryan's reduced role in this year's Emmys red carpet coverage is a clear move toward a life that involves less hosting and more producing," the insider said. "He wants to transition to behind the scenes more, and is getting fed up with the 'interviewing people' part of his job, when his heart is really in the work he does as a producer."
"This season of Idol going to be a real endurance test for Ryan," the source said.
How inspiring to see that poor, poor man, going through all that standing on stage in high-quality clothing, talking to people for a mere pittance of $15 million a season. Excuse me, while I go build a website dedicated to educating people of his ugly plight.
"'Idol' is holding him back right now," the source said, "but it's also the most money he's ever been paid for anything, so he has to be a politician about it."
Hang in there, Ryan. We're all pulling for you.

Nadia Sierra's living room is clean and cozy, yet evidence abounds of her four-year-old daughter - a little face beaming from picture frames, a bright pink child-size chair adorned with Disney princesses, and in Sierra's smile as she talks about her little girl.
Today, 20-year-old Sierra runs a tight household and converses confidently about simultaneously holding down a job and single-handedly raising a child. Her success springs from hard work and dedication. Only four years ago, Sierra was a high school dropout, pregnant and facing the challenging prospect of becoming a teen mother.
It was at this point that she became involved with the Nurse-Family Partnership.
"They said, 'This program will be great for you,' and it was," she said.
Nurse-Family Partnership is designed to help first-time, low-income mothers deal with their pregnancy and learn about becoming a parent. The program pairs each mother with a nurse, who visits her at home several times a month until the baby is 2 years old.
An organization that stretches nationwide, NFP provides a program and curriculum for the mother to follow. The program focuses on promoting healthy practices for both baby and mother, improving child development through age-appropriate activities and bettering economic self-sufficiency by assisting the mother with personal improvement goals.
Summit County's NFP program has been around since 2001 and includes five other counties - Gilpin, Clear Creek, Lake, Chaffee and Park's Alma and Fairplay area. According to Amy Wineland, director of public health, the requirements to become an NFP site include showing the ability to serve at least 100 low-income, first-time moms, so the counties came together to apply collaboratively.
Wineland has worked with the program, first as a home-visit nurse and later as supervisor. She has been incredibly pleased with the results.
"I feel it's an amazing program as we see these young women become mothers and have an investment in themselves and their child to make their lives better," Wineland said. "It works, the program works. We have shown really good success with the program, in terms of all sorts of things - breastfeeding rates, immunization rates, going back to school, finishing school, getting jobs, we see the moms learn and choose to become economically self-sufficient. ... It's been an honor to be able to witness those changes in the women that we serve."
Sierra is quick to describe the way NFP helped her with her daughter Nitzy's development. She plunks down a large blue binder on the table and flips through its pages, pointing out the worksheets that tracked her daughter's progress and the educational songs and games that they still play together.
"It really did help me become a better mom," Sierra said, teaching her about proper nutrition and care, as well as developmental education.
Yet the program doesn't focus on just the baby; it also emphasizes the importance of the mother's goals, which might be anything from being healthy and managing the baby to finishing school or getting a job.
Sierra worked with her home-visit nurse, Lynne Mosbaugh, on creating goals and then taking the steps to meet them. For Sierra, this included finishing high school while holding down a job.
"She put it all together: high school, childcare, work, housing. She just figured it all out how to get it all done," Mosbaugh said proudly.
Time management was the most difficult aspect, Sierra said, but with Mosbaugh's help she was able to pull it off, attending Snowy Peaks High School while working.
"I'd be here from 7 in the morning, and then I would be in school from 8 to 2, and then I would go to work from 2-11, and then I would come home, and I would have to take care of Nitzy," Sierra said.
Her hard work paid off and she graduated with the first Snowy Peaks class last year. Though now her schedule has eased a bit, Sierra is looking forward to the next step. She loves living in Summit County, but she wants to buy a house, which is expensive. She plans to continue her education.
"I'm trying to get some college, so maybe Denver would be a better option right now in my life," she said. When asked what she wants to do, she replied, "I'm going to be an elementary principal some day."
"You will be," Mosbaugh said, grinning. "You will be."
In addition to helping with Nitzy's health and development, and Sierra's personal goals, NFP offered support with other aspects, from the technical process of filing for a birth certificate to emotional issues.
"It's a really big help, emotionally and physically," Sierra said. "She (Mosbaugh) really helped me when I had problems, like put some stuff in perspective."
They worked on ways to deal with stress, like being sure to set aside time for herself alone, without the baby, or taking a walk to clear her mind.
"It's stressful to be a new mom, it takes everything out of you," Sierra said with a laugh.
They also dealt with her emotions regarding body image and the changes she was experiencing.
"And they would help me because of course you gain weight. It was hard accepting yourself, and I think she did help me a lot," Sierra said. "Especially when you are a teen, and I used to weigh 100 pounds, so ... it was like oh my god what is this? But they helped me understand, you know, this is how much the baby weighs and this is your weight. You understand the process, not just like, oh I'm getting fat."
This aspect of support in NFP is highly important, Wineland said.
"Certainly we focus on the health and development of the child, and really help teach positive parenting skills, but we really want to empower the clients that we serve, and it's really to help get them a jumpstart into self-sufficiency and empowerment."
"I can't even believe it sometimes," Sierra said, of how her life has changed since Nitzy and the program. "Whoa, you know. Some people complain, 'oh I can't do this, it's so hard,' I'm like, 'whatever! This is so not hard.'"
She enthusiastically recommends NFP to others.
"Most definitely I would recommend it to everyone who's a new mom, because you don't know what you're getting yourself into," Sierra said, laughing. "And they will definitely help you understand everything."
Thinking back on the journey of the past four years, Sierra nods and smiles.
"It was hard, but I got through it, and now I can get through anything."

Escaped inmate surrenders in Haywood County
Published: Monday, September 9, 2013 at 10:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 9, 2013 at 10:27 a.m.
An escaped inmate, on the lam since Friday morning, surrendered to correctional officers at about 5:20 p.m. Sunday in a rural part of Haywood County.
"Telephone tips led officers to a home on Incinerator Road, just off Interstate 40 between Canton and Clyde. While officers were in the area, (John R.) Fullwood emerged from the woods and turned himself in," according to a news release from the N.C. Department of Public Safety.
Fullwood, 51, was assigned to Buncombe Correctional Center, a minimum-security prison, after he was convicted of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle. He was sentenced to serve six to eight years and was due for release in September 2016 when he walked away from a work assignment in Asheville Friday morning.
Fullwood is being transported to Mountain View Correctional Center in Spruce Pine and will face a charge of felony escape, according to the release.
Prior to his escape, Fullwood had no infractions on his inmate record since his conviction in Haywood County in April 2010, according to the Department of Public Safety. He had no prior convictions.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I recently started converting my DVD collection to a digital format for backup purposes. In the process, I have decided that I want to use my PS3 as a media server to watch these movies.
Here are the basics:
1) Rip DVDs (that I own) to a 2TB external HDD with DVD Decrypter
2) I save the entire ripped DVDs
3) the .VOB files for the actual movie are split into 1GB files
4) the .VOB files for the actual movie are usually titled VTS_01_x.VOB
5) there are usually 4-5 .VOB files for each movie
6) I use PS3 Media Server to connect my computer to my PS3
7) I can play the .VOB files easily
Here is my problem/question:
Is there a way that I can play every .VOB file for a particular movie continuously? Meaning, is there a way to start the first file (VTS_01_01.VOB) and when that first file ends, the second one (VTS_01_02.VOB) will immediately start playing? So it would be kinda like a playlist or something. I just hate having to keep selecting the next .VOB file when I am watching a movie.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Netherlands' Nuon Solar Team Leads the World Solar Challenge
The Nuon Solar Team from the Netherlands has taken a commanding lead in the World Solar Challenge, a 1,870-mile solar race down the center of the Australian continent. On Tuesday, after three days of racing, the team's car, the "Nuna 3," was at Glendambo, a little more than 300 miles from Adelaide. Australia's Aurora Vehicle Association trails about 100 miles behind the Nuna 3, followed closely by the University of Michigan's "Momentum" and Ashiya University of Japan's "Sky Ace Tiga," in a tight battle for second, third, and fourth place. If the Nuon team continues to hold the lead, it will be their third consecutive win. In 2003, the team set a record time of 30 hours and 54 minutes, for an average speed of about 60 miles per hour. Since the race may already be decided by the time you read this, see the latest standings and reports from the road in the "On the Road" section of the World Solar Challenge Web site.
A total of 22 teams from 10 countries are currently in the race, including three teams from the United States. Probably the most dramatic event in the race occurred during the qualifying rounds, when a wheel failed on the vehicle from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, causing it to flip over. Fortunately, the driver walked away with only a sprained wrist, and the team was able to fix the vehicle and remain in the race. See MIT's Web page and the September 24th entry in the University of Calgary's Weblog, both of which are posted on the World Solar Challenge Web site.

SAN JOSE -- Will Lansing, president and chief executive of the data analytics company FICO, is moving the Minnesota-based global data company's headquarters to San Jose to help it tap into Silicon Valley's pool of technical talent.
Although its name is firmly associated with credit scores, Lansing says FICO's key strength is in extracting useful information from data to solve a wide range of business problems.
One of its core businesses is powerful credit card fraud detection software that screens transactions on two-thirds of the world's debit and credit cards. The data the company collects must be stored and analyzed and be available for recall in an instant. As powerful as that technology is, there's more to come, says Lansing, who believes that the analytics business is in a transition phase. He recently talked with this newspaper.
Q: Why the move?
A: First of all, we're already here. A lot of our management is here, and our decision management tools business, FICO Blaze Advisor, is located in San Jose. And second, we want access to the kind of people we would like to recruit to operate our business -- the engineering talent, software talent, technical talent. There's a lot of it here, obviously.
Q: The statistics on what FICO's Falcon fraud detection software does are astonishing -- 9,000 credit and debit card transactions analyzed for their fraud potential per second; 24 billion transactions a month. How is that possible?
A: It starts with figuring out which data you need to pay attention to, because we live in a world where we're awash in data. A big part of analytics, at least the way we've historically practiced that business, is figuring out which data has value. It's really the only way to get to good real-time analytics
Q: So there's a lot of sitting around thinking?
A: We have some brilliant analytic scientists on our payroll and that's what they do. They think, and they hypothesize, and they model, and they see how true the model is, and then they refine the model. And then we have these adaptive technologies where our models learn on the fly from the behavior of fraudsters.
Q: For example?
A: For example, in credit card fraud, the fraudsters are very sophisticated. You build a model to detect fraud, and it doesn't take them long to figure out what you're looking at and find some other way to do it. A typical scenario with fraud is, they'll run a card at a gas station where they're not going be confronted by someone if it's bad. If that goes through then they go running off to Best Buy to get a TV set. Our fraud detection algorithms detect this kind of pattern.
Q: Silicon Valley prides itself in being on the cutting edge. Now there's a buzz about "Big Data." How come?
A: There have always been constraints on the storage and manipulation of the data. Now we're moving to a world where those things are becoming unconstrained. In the old world, there was tremendous pressure on trying to extract the most amount of data out of the smallest amount of data possible. In a world like that there's a tremendous premium on efficiency.
But we're moving into a world where we can store and manipulate greater volumes of data in real time. When you are in a world like that, suddenly there's new opportunity. We can now go out on the margin and get data that's not as predictive, not as valuable, but is more valuable than no data. That's really the world we're moving into with Big Data analytics. And we are at the forefront of that, so it makes sense for us to be tapping Silicon Valley talent to push that further.
Q: What's FICO doing in this new world?
A: Everyone knows about FICO scores. That is aimed at identifying on behalf of our bank customers which consumers are likely to pay their debt. We've developed our reputation around it, and it still is a very important business for us. What we then did, is we moved into the software space. We said there's lots of more customized software opportunities for us to provide analytic insights, so we're going to build a software business. Over the past 20 years, we built a whole bunch of software products that help our customers make decisions about all kinds of different things. That falls broadly under the category of decision management. That's kind of our core skill.
Q: Are there markets you are targeting?
A: Retail and health care are two places where we are expanding our business. That's one piece of our strategy. Part two of our strategy is to make all of our major products available as software as a service in the cloud. We're in the process of doing that.
And the third part of our strategy is to become the preeminent player in analytics on top of Big Data. That's a big statement, except that we already are a preeminent player in analytics in general. So as the world shifts to more and more Big Data, we want to maintain that strength. We're investing very heavily in analytics on top of Big Data today
Q: That comes back to the people, doesn't it?
A: If there's one thing that we need to get right more than anything else, we need really, really smart people.

EAGLE COUNTY - As long as China keeps belching out carbon emissions at its current rate, America's reductions won't do much to slow pollution-triggered climate change, said a Stanford University geophysicist.
China produces three times more CO2 per year than the U.S., and China has enormous natural gas reserves that could slash that rate of pollution, said Dr. Mark Zoback, a professor in Stanford's School of Earth Sciences, while speaking at the recent Vail Global Energy Forum.
The natural gas boom is a recent phenomenon. It is having a positive effect in reducing greenhouse gases, Zoback said.
Countries around the world are watching the U.S. and they'll emulate the things we do correctly as they develop their own natural gas reserves, Zoback said.
North American per capita energy consumption hasn't changed significantly in almost a decade, Zoback said. At the same time, carbon emissions are way down.
"Per capita, our carbon emissions are down where they were in 1960," said Gov. John Hickenlooper.
China's carbon emissions have soared, largely from new coal-fired power plants that won't be replaced anytime soon, Zoback said.
"With what China is dumping into the system, it doesn't matter what we do here. That has to stop," said Jim Brown, Halliburton's Western Hemisphere president. "I'm an oil and gas guy, and I cannot imagine why they're not pursuing nuclear energy in a safe way. It's part of the all-of-the-above philosophy."
Zoback said burning natural gas is 50 percent cleaner than coal to generate electricity. Methane can escape from gas wells and some have argued that methane, because it's a more potent greenhouse gas, offsets any benefit from natural gas.
That's not true, Zoback said.
Well built wells
Brown said when it comes to protecting water supplies and the environment, there are three things the gas and oil industry needs to focus on:
1. Well construction.
2. Well construction.
3. Well construction.
"It's not very sexy, but that's what needs to be done," Brown said.
Wells are now built around layers of cement, another layer of pipe and a well head, and cost around $9 million.
"It's cheap insurance," Brown said. "You should sit through some of our meetings. Every one starts with a discussion about safety. If we destroy the environment, we're out of business."
Earthquakes and energy
Energy companies are learning all the time, Zoback said.
Earthquakes seem to increase proportionate to the amount of wastewater injections in those areas. In other words, if you jack industrial lubricants into an earthquake fault, it causes earthquakes. P
"If you have a fault that's going to slip someday, by increasing pressure you may move up the time period, possibly by 10,000 years," Zoback said.
The Raton Basin prior to 1974, saw earthquakes up to 2.4 on the Richter scale. After 1994, when injections of flowback water began, earthquakes became more frequent and stronger, Zoback said.
An experiment found that when they reduced the pressure of the injections, the earthquakes subsided, Zoback said.
"We have to avoid injection into potentially active faults. If you don't look, you don't know they're there," Zoback said. "For example, you need to learn to fracture away from the natural fractures. It took a while to figure that out."

SOCHI, Russia -- Megan Bozek, Kendall Coyne and Brianna Decker each had a goal and two assists to help the United States beat Sweden 6-1 Monday and earn a spot in the gold medal game at the Sochi Olympics.
Jesse Vetter needed just eight saves to help the Americans clinch no worse than a silver medal. The U.S. has medaled in every Winter Games since women's hockey was added in 1998, and just once -- with a loss to Sweden in the 2006 semifinals -- failed to reach the Olympic championship game.
The United States will play the winner of the late semifinal between Canada and Switzerland for the gold medal. A victory by Canada would set up a rematch of the 1998, 2002 and '10 finals.
The U.S. won the gold medal in Nagano then took silver in Salt Lake City and Vancouver. Canada also won Wednesday's game in the preliminary round 3-2.
Anna Borgqvist scored on a deflected shot past Vetter with just under seven minutes remaining to spoil the shutout.
The U.S. outshot Sweden 70-9. Valentina Wallner made 42 saves for Sweden before she was pulled with 7:29 left in the second period. Kim Martin Hasson, the first woman to play goal in five Olympics, stopped 22 of 23 shots the rest of the way.
Alex Carpenter and Kacey Bellamy scored in a span of 66 seconds in the first period, and Amanda Kessel gave the Americans a 3-0 lead before Sweden got off its first shot. The U.S. outshot Sweden 29-1 in the first period.

The inmates, who are also veterans, are among the state's first prisoners to join a national trend of training service dogs in correctional institutions. Professional trainers say prison-raised dogs tend to graduate sooner and at higher rates than those raised traditionally in foster homes because puppies respond well to the consistency and rigid schedules of prison life.

After an investigation last week into whether they falsified grades for students, three Warren County High School teachers are fighting back.
Friday, we were told those three teachers agreed to take an unpaid ten-day leave of absence beginning next Monday.
But now those teachers are telling school board members they shouldn't have to leave because they did nothing wrong.
Things were seemingly back to normal at Warren County High School Tuesday afternoon, a much different scene from days before.
Friday, dozens of students protested in the school after learning three teachers were forced to take ten-day leave of absence.
Superintendent Carole Jean Carey says she uncovered a two-year trend of teachers falsifying grades.
"This just fell in my lap when I had to examine a grade sheet at the very first, when a teacher was being pressed to change a grade and didn't want to and that's how this investigation started," Carey says.
The investigation ended with the teachers' certificates being suspended for two weeks.
Now News 12 has learned each teacher has hired an attorney. They're disputing the validity of the superintendent's investigation, claiming they only rounded up grades by less than a point and gave extra credit.
But Carey and the school principal say findings show grades were raised as high as 15 points.
"The facts speak for themselves, and what we uncovered were facts," says principal Roger Williams.
Elijah Grier is a former Warren County High School student and his mother, Mary Grier, is one of the teachers accused of changing grades. He and others believe the superintendent skewed results from the investigation in order to push certain teachers out of the school system.
"She's picking them out one by one, and those that are not under the radar now, will soon be under the radar, they just don't know it yet. So it's time to take a stand," Elijah says.
"I would never do anything that would target a teacher individually," Carey says. "It grieves me that this happened, it's most unfortunate."
The teachers and their attorneys had no comment today.
The school board did meet this afternoon and voted to table the decision for the ten-day leave of absence.
The board has given the teachers 24 hours to consult with their lawyers and present a written response.
From there, the school board will decide what, if any action will be taken.
But for now, these teachers are still at the school still teaching.

The Life and Times of Pat Rick by Anna Bittner, Jacob Sellers, and Melinda Weiss
This original musical was first produced at Holy Cross Parish in Fort Branch, IN by the Maria Goretti Catholic Youth Ministry in 2011. Pat Rick's original diary entries were written by Melinda Weiss while she played the title character in a previous musical by Bittner and Sellers. Inspired, the three developed an entire script and score around the diary of a misunderstood janitor who doesn't know any better than to love unconditionally. May we all learn to love with the same purity and authenticity as Pat Rick.

MARTINEZ -- A defense attorney for a 22-year-old Richmond man on Thursday asked jurors to convict her client of sexual battery -- and not gang rape -- for his role in the attack on a 16-year-old girl on the Richmond High School campus in 2009.
Attorney Jane Elliot said her client was on top of the victim for a few seconds, but he did not have sex or attempt to have sex with the victim, who authorities say was assaulted in a dark campus courtyard for more than two hours after leaving a homecoming dance and drinking with a group of males.
"I ask you to find him guilty of what he did, and that's sexual battery," Elliot said.
According to the California Penal Code, sexual battery is punishable by as much as four years in prison. Montano has been in jail since his arrest shortly after the assault.
Montano and 20-year-old Marcelles Peter, of Pinole, each face life in prison if convicted at their dual jury trial of gang rape, forcible oral copulation in concert, sexual penetration in concert and a charge enhancement for causing great bodily injury.
The victim testified that she remembers nothing between having a polite conversation with several young men at the courtyard picnic tables and waking from a coma in a trauma center the next day. She had a near-fatal blood-alcohol level and severe head trauma from being repeatedly struck during the attack.
Peter's attorney asked for a full acquittal during his closing statement Wednesday. On Monday, the juries will begin deliberating separately.
Their former co-defendants, Ari Morales, 19, and Manuel Ortega, 22, took plea deals in the case and are serving 27 and 32 years, respectively. Elvis Torrentes, 25, and John Crane, 46, are awaiting trial.
In his closing argument to Montano's jury Thursday, prosecutor John Cope described the evidence against Montano as compelling and supportive of a guilty verdict on all counts.
Multiple people, including some of Montano's friends, described Montano getting on top of the girl and moving his body in what they thought was an act of rape. Another witness described Montano bragging about raping her the day after the Oct. 24, 2009, attack.
Morales described Montano putting on a condom, and Montano's DNA was on a condom wrapper found by police.
At least one witness told police that Montano attempted to penetrate the girl with a skateboard, although another witness said that was Ortega.
"The evidence is pretty overwhelming that Mr. Montano is guilty of doing something in this case," Cope said.
"If he's guilty of the charges, he should be convicted of the charges, and nothing less than that," he added.
Elliot said the testimony as to Montano didn't mesh, and he shouldn't be convicted of what other people think they saw.
No one described seeing Montano unzip his pants, expose himself or penetrate the victim, she said. Just because Ortega and Morales assaulted the girl, it doesn't mean that Montano was acting in concert with them when he got on top of the girl for a few seconds when he was fully dressed, Eliot saidCope, arguing that Montano did rape and used a condom in doing it, said it does.
"The law says no matter how big a part you played, if you played a part, you're guilty," the prosecutor said. "Maybe he didn't enjoy it as much as he thought he would, but he did it."

FREMONT -- The shell of the Warm Springs-South Fremont BART station has made conspicuous progress in recent months, slowly rising above a dusty field northeast of the Tesla factory.
That small step in the city's complex Warm Springs development signifies something big: Fremont's dream of creating an 850-acre Innovation Center is slowly becoming reality, after years of planning and negotiating among a daunting set of moving pieces.
"It's so unique in the Bay Area to have a wealth of land to develop in a thoughtful way in proximity to BART," said Kelly Kline, Fremont's economic development director. "A project like this ensures our economic future by creating opportunities for a major employment center around transit."
That vision has been focused in the city's Warm Springs/South Fremont Community Plan, which council members will consider Tuesday night.
The plan envisions adding up to 4,000 housing units, 12,000 jobs, shopping and entertainment, restaurants, hotel and convention facilities, and parks and open space to an area anchored by Tesla and the new BART station. It also will offer office space tailored for biotech and solar-energy companies that already have clustered in the Warm Springs district, on Fremont's southern edge.
The $900 million BART extension will create a station near the corner of Warm Springs and South Grimmer boulevards.
It will open by the end of next year, said Tom Blalock, the BART board director representing southern Alameda County. AC Transit and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority buses will serve the BART station, which will have 2,000 parking spaces.
"The Warm Springs station will take pressure off of Fremont's original BART station," Blalock said. "And it will take cars off the road, because Santa Clara County commuters won't have to drive as far before parking and taking BART."
Although the development is in its early stages, positive buzz has helped Fremont lure companies; Thermo Fisher Scientific plans to open later this year on 22 acres it bought next to Tesla.
Lennar Corp. also has purchased 109 acres within the Innovation Center zone. The empty parcel is tucked between BART and the Tesla factory.
"Lennar is ... eager to partner with a forward-looking city like Fremont (and) to explore innovative, mixed-use development concepts at the property," Lennar executive Jon Jaffe said in a written statement last month, when the land purchase was announced.
Lennar has worked on projects similar to Fremont's and has successfully blended housing and commercial uses, Kline said. "They're known for being a residential developer, but they actually have a much broader repertoire," she said.
A 750-student elementary school will be built on the Lennar parcel, said Jim Morris, Fremont's superintendent of schools. The 5-acre campus will be next to a 4-acre park shared by the school district and the city.
The city and Fremont Unified forged a deal earlier this year with the area's developers, easing school district leaders' anxiety that new residents would crowd Fremont's already packed campuses.
Lennar, Valley Oak Partners and other developers pledged to pay for building a new elementary school and for additions to nearby junior high and high schools, city leaders said.
"This is the first time in recent memory that developers actually stepped up to the plate and said they're going to mitigate the impacts of development," Morris said. "It's joyful to be able to say to (city leaders), 'This is a new day.'"
Like its downtown, Fremont wants the Innovation Center to have an urban feel. The area's housing stock -- condominiums, townhomes, apartments -- will contrast with the single-family houses often associated with suburban Fremont.
"It's reflective of the city's vision to become more strategically urban," Kline said. "Smart growth? This is it."
