PARKERSBURG - Education and wellness were at the forefront on Friday as more than 100 women gathered for the Go Red for Women luncheon at Camden Clark Medical Center's Memorial Campus.
"In recent years, through research and a lot of awareness, we have learned how heart disease affects women as there are differences in how women and men are affected," said Allison Maher, registered nurse director of cardiovascular services at Camden Clark Medical Center.
Maher listed how heart disease and heart attacks are different between the sexes, which included stiffness in the neck and jaw as well as nausea.

Kathy Eddy, vice chairman of the Camden Clark Medical Center Board of Directors, speaks during the Go Red for Women luncheon at the Memorial Campus on Friday as Dr. Chris Miller, interventional cardiologist, looks on.
"Women often think that a heart attack is all about pain in the chest, but that just is not true," she said.
It is important for women to understand they are at risk for developing heart disease and like complications because it is thought of as a man's disease, Maher told the crowd.
"One myth is that women think they can't have heart disease because they don't have symptoms and that just is not true," she said. "Sixty-four percent of women who die suddenly of heart disease had no previous symptoms."
According to the American Heart Association, one in three women will die of heart disease, while 8 million women currently live with heart disease and 500,000 of those will suffer a heart attack.
"Of those half-a-million women who have a heart attack, 42 percent of them will die within a year from complications of heart disease," Maher said.
Women in attendance of the event wore red sweaters, shirts and scarves in support of the campaign that encourages women to take steps to decrease their chances of developing heart disease. The Go Red for Women campaign was designed to create awareness in women of heart disease and stroke. Stroke is the number three killer of women in the United States.
"We hold this luncheon and participate in Go Red for Women in February because it is a month all about hearts," said Kathy Eddy, vice chairman of the Camden Clark Medical Center Board of Directors. "This month is an incredibly right time to be committed to heart health."
Three of the hospital's cardiologists and head of cardiovascular services spoke before the crowd to give statistics and advice.
"It is very important that we raise awareness and educate women in how to live healthier lives," Maher said.
Four things women can do to decrease their chance of developing heart disease are eat healthy, be physically active, do not smoke and keep a healthy weight, Maher said.
"Smoking increases the risk of heart disease by 50 percent," said Dr. Chris Miller, interventional cardiologist with CCMC. "Not smoking is the number one thing to do to prevent heart disease."

Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, Left Behind: A Novel of Earth's Last Days (1995).
Suddenly, without explanation, people disappear en masse. Cars crash into medians, driverless. Passengers vanish from airplanes midflight. Piles of clothes suddenly replace loved ones. All the world's children, gone. A woman in labor finds her belly suddenly deflated; she delivers only a placenta (46). Welcome to the world of Left Behind. Boasting a company of characters named like the cast list of a 1970s porno—Buck Williams, Chloe Steele, Bruce Barnes, and Dirk Burton among others—Left Behind narrates a spy-thriller version of old-fashioned dispensational end times theology. The book operates on two levels. On the one hand, it's an entertainment novel. Pure airport fare. A band of stock characters needs to solve a mystery, but forces ranging from the paranormal to the United Nations frustrate and complicate their efforts. In the end, the conspiracy goes much bigger than they thought, one problem (why did everyone disappear?) finds resolution but reveals bigger problems to follow (the antichrist is rising, but who?).
On the other hand, Left Behind is a thoroughly, unabashedly, Christian book for a conservative Christian audience. It puts a creative spin on the old dispensationalist practice of reading current events for signs of the times. Left Behind imagines a not-too-distant future that looks and feels suspiciously like the present (c. 1995): one character (Buck) finds that "the connection to his ramp on the information superhighway was busy" (32). Another character, searching for an explanation for his wife and son's disappearance, pops in a DVD made by his wife's pastor—the DVD player having first appeared in, that's right, 1995 (202). So the book's setting is the future, but it might as well be tomorrow. This gives practically unlimited creative license when the authors to get down to the dispensationalist business. This book does not read signs of the times as dispensationalists traditionally do, but rather conjures the times. Working backwards, it drapes the prophetic future onto the form of the present rather than looking at the present for signs of the prophetic future.

A leaking package inside a Federal Express delivery truck caused the Oak Ridge Fire Department to shut down Administration Road for a short time on Tuesday afternoon.
Firefighters were called to the parking lot of Apex Office Supply just before 1 p.m., after the FedEx driver reportedly noticed the leaking parcel.
The on-board package turned out to contain nitric acid, which was leaking in the rear of the truck, according to Oak Ridge Fire Chief Darryl Kerley.
Firefighters reportedly secured a 150-foot perimeter.
"The driver indicated the 11-pound package containing approximately one liter of nitric acid had just been refused at the Y-12 facility because the cardboard container was wet on the bottom," Kerley stated in a release that referred to the National Security Complex in Oak Ridge.
"When he re-checked the package at the next delivery stop, the driver found fluid leaking out of the package and immediately called 911 for assistance."
The FedEx driver contacted his cleanup contractor to respond and mitigate the situation, the release said.
No injuries were reported.
Beverly Majors can be contacted at (865) 220-5514.

Ben Affleck didn't say no when asked if he might run for John Kerry's U.S. Senate seat if Kerry steps down to become Secretary of State.
In Washington, D.C,. to testify before Congress about the humanitarian crisis in the Congo, the "Argo" director and star was interviewed by Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation." The show will air Sunday.
Schieffer asked Affleck if he'd ever go after a Senate seat.
"For one thing, the state of Massachusetts currently has two extraordinary senators, so there is no vacancy," Affleck replied..
"There could be," Schieffer pointed out.
"Well, one never knows," Affleck said. "I'm not one to get into conjecture. I have a great fondness and admiration for the political process in this country. It's a big deal for me to come down here and be on your show, but I'm not going to get into speculation about my political future."
I can't believe Schieffer didn't ask Affleck about J-Lo. And he calls himself a journalist.
"Right now," Affleck said, "I'm really happy being involved from the outside in government, advocating for the Congolese, taking this movie that I made, 'Argo,' that's really become a springboard for dialogue about our relationship with Iran, which, as Hillary Clinton said, is the most pressing foreign policy issue today, so, I got a lot on my plate."
"Argo" is nominated for two Screen Actors Guild Awards and five Golden Globes, including best director for Affleck. Many believe "Argo" will get serious consideration for a Best Picture Oscar as well.

The upcoming Los Angeles Arboretum Permaculture Design Course will be the first ever taught there. Flyer Credit: Caitlin Bergman
Course dates are 8 Saturdays, Oct 2 – Nov20, and & 1 Sunday, Nov 21. The first 8 days of the course will be held in the facilities and on the grounds of the Los Angeles Arboretum, and the final day of the course will be held at the Los Angeles Eco-Village.
Because the traditional PDC format does not optimally serve student availability and future needs, we have modified the PDC format in numerous ways, among them:
- we scheduled it for weekend days only, so working Americans don't have to devote their entire annual vacation to it;
- we infuse community-building throughout the course, rather than the usual nod it gets on the final day;
- we incorporate daily hands-on exercises to reinforce the intellectual experience with the skills students require;
- we follow Dave Jacke's cyclical structure, in acknowledgement that circadian rhythms delimit learning dynamics;
- we introduce topics with scientific rigor (including references to the scientific literature);
- we utilize a guest-teacher/speaker-series format to augment our expertise on numerous topics.
Organizing Team: Botanist Caitlin Bergman (lead), Atmospheric Scientist Kirstie Stramler, and Fluvial Geomorphology student Owen Hablutzel.
Course Website: http://saypermaculture.com/pdc-permaculture-design-course/
Guest Teachers:
* Warren Brush (Quail Springs, True Nature Design)
* Howard Yana-Shapiro, Phd. (Mars Inc., World Agroforestry Center)
* Lois Arkin (Los Angeles Eco-Village, Global Village Institute)
* Wes Roe and Margie Bushman (Santa Barbara Permaculture Network)

There are some amazing folks signed up for our course; we're excited and honored to be able to empower the next generation of the Los Angeles Permaculture scene! The course is nearly at capacity, because we've capped enrollment to keep the student/instructor ratio low, so if you want to join our crew, call or email today! firstname.lastname@example.com 626.821.4624

Re: "Uncivil unions, King Henry's divorce and a wall of separation," Morgan Liddick, Feb. 19
Within the realm of politics Sen. Pat Steadman's rant concerning SR11 on Civil Unions declares, [If you don't like it] "Go live a monastic life away from modern society, away from people you can't see as equals to yourself..." Liddick counters with, "The objection [by those who oppose SR 11] lies in the state compelling actions in contravention of their beliefs regarding sin, not people." He goes on to say, "Sen. Steadman will eventually discover...these people will neither bend to the will of the state, nor will they disappear. Instead they will force the supporters of SR 11 to accept responsibility for the predictable consequences of their position."
Back in November when I addressed the myth (not fact) of sexual-orientation and preference being the determining factor in personal identity (with its core issue of heterosexual or homosexual not expressing who one is but what one does) I was criticized for being a bigot, liar and ignoramus. Thank you Mr. Liddick for letting me know I am not alone in my beliefs nor in my right to express them within the parameters of freedom of speech/press.

Argentina, 2006, 102 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Drama, Family IssuesLanguage: Spanish English Sub-Titles
In this dramatic comedy that draws heavily from his own life, writer-director Daniel Burman continues his exploration of the relationship between a son and his father as Argentinians of Polish-Jewish extraction. Family Law, the third film in his loosely knit trilogy, is the story of two "Dr. Perelmans," both lawyers but practicing their profession along separate paths. Their lifestyles are different, too. Perelman senior, a popular public defender whose clients are mostly poor, follows a meticulous daily routine, while Perelman junior, a professor of law in Buenos Aires, often sleeps in his suit.
Ariel Perelman (Daniel Hendler, who played different "Ariels" in the previous two films, Waiting for the Messiah and Lost Embrace), marries one of his students and the couple have a son (Eloy Burman, son of the director). When his wife (Julieta Diaz) goes away for a Pilates retreat, Ariel finds himself suddenly in charge of the toddler's daily routine. He begins to bond with the boy in scenes that contrast with the distant relationship Ariel has experienced with his own father (Arturo Goetz). Yet Ariel frets that he is becoming just like his father—or is he the exact opposite? The elder Perelman is a mystery to his son, who secretly follows him around to learn more about him. He tries to ascertain whether his widowed father is having an affair with his longtime secretary.
Body language and silence speak louder than words in Family Law. Lilting klezmer music by César Lerner accompanies the action. Buenos Aires's passionate pace underscores that of the principals' lives.

You've got a couple of extra days to file your taxes this year.
To avoid a weekend deadline, the IRS says you have until April 17th.
As News 12's Meredith Taylor finds out, many people have already filed...and they're doing it e-file style.
Barbara Hickman would rather get help doing her taxes.
"No, I don't have a computer; I'm resisting."
She doesn't have a computer and especially doesn't need one around tax time.
"I have it all together and he puts it in the computer and in a few minutes, he tells me I get a refund," Hickman says.
The quick turnaround of Barbara's money is through electronic filing.
It's just one of the reasons more and more people are doing it.
"Well this office, 98% of our tax returns go electronically. It's a heck of a lot quicker," says Richard Marshall of Rhodes-Murphy Tax Service. "They're not waiting 8 weeks to get a refund."
Tax professional e-filing is up nearly 4 percent this year.
And doing it yourself at home has set a new record already--with more than 16 percent e-filing.
Karen Stinson of KDS Tax and Accounting says that for some of her clients, e-filing at home would be a better option…especially in the case of young professionals with only a W-2 form, because there is very little work.
"They're wasting their time and their money. They should just go home. Everybody has a computer, they can go to the library," says Stinson.
The IRS website offers free e-filing for some taxpayers and help doing it.
But some people, like Barbara, prefer to leave it to the professionals.
But whether you're coming in an office to e-file or doing it at home, it sure beats a whole lot of paperwork.
And you may have noticed...TeleFile, or telephone filing, is no longer available this year.
Tax experts say many of those people are also now e-filing.

Bullying in Comics
Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 12:17 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 12:17 a.m.
The only thing that can stop a bully is a bigger bully and that is probably general knowledge. We have a whole industry of bigger bullies — the police, prosecutors and judges, to name a few.
Because news articles in the newspaper and on TV have been zeroing in on bullying and the occasional devastating results, I was aghast to see bullying in the comic section ("Nestheads," Jan. 4). When a statement is taken from the issue ("That's because it's an infomercial.") and made personal ("you dope"), it becomes bullying and verbal abuse.
Yes, verbal bullying also is verbal abuse.

CHAR- SAL/SH KOOTENAI AND PEND'd ORIELLES TRIBES CHARLO KOOSTAHTAH KOOSTA SMIMII (Salish: News) Volume 3 • Number 6 FULL MOON OF THE SERVICEBERRY (July 15, 1973) Price 15 cents 118 Years Ago Tomorrow, The Tribes Gathered And. When the chiefs of the Bitterroot Salish, Kootenai and Pend'd Orielle gathered at Council Grove near what is now Missoula in July, 1855, they thought they were ending their ancient war with the Blackfeet. But when Thomas Adams, an agent for Issac Stevens, Governor of the Washington Territory, arrived, the chiefs discovered that peace would cost them most of their native range. The traditional range of the three tribes consisted of all of what is now Montana west of the Rockies, parts of eastern Idaho, buffalo hunting grounds east of the mountains and a portion of eastern British Columbia. Adams explained that the U.S. Government, as the agents for peace in the territory, wanted all but a few million acres of this range in exchange for ending hostilities with the Blackfeet. The chiefs were shocked. Earlier that year they had been called to Meiigate by an- other agent of Stevens, Lieutenant John Mullen, to talk over a lasting peace in the territory. Mullen had promised them there would be no talk of giving up land and authority. He said it was merely a powwow to discuss a permanent treaty with the Blackfeet later that year. The head chiefs..... Victor of the Salish, Alexander of the Pend d' Orielle and Michelle of the Kootenai were prepared to make peace but not to give away land. Kootenai Chief Michelle, who was having a difficult time understanding what was going on because the interpreters were not fluent in his language, had not consulted other Kootenai bands on the matter of land and did not have the authority to sign away the Kootenai lands proposed by Adams (many Kootenai bands refused to acknowledge the agreement and continued to wander their native range until well into the 20 th century.) The chiefs were still talking the land proposal over with their people when Stevens arrived. Stevens explained during the first day of the council that he wanted all three tribes to live on one reservation and first suggested the Bitterroot Valley. But Alexander, Chief of the Pend'd Orielle, said he and his people wished to remain in the Jocko, or what is now the Flathead Reservation. There the council bogged down ...the Salish and the Pend'd Orielle both wanted peace and both were attracted by the annuities, guns and tools promised by Stevens but neither wished to move from its traditional homeland. By the third day of the conference, no compromise was in sight and the situation was falling apart. Tempers began to flare ... Stevens was told that Alexander had privately told Victor that he would move his tribe to the Bitterroot but Victor had refused to answer. Stevens accused Victor of being "an old woman, dumb as a dog" and questioned his authority as head chief of his people. Victor retorted that Stevens was "talking sharp" like an enemy and walked out of the council. Negotiations came to a standstill for two days while Victor and the other chiefs pondered the dilemma. The Salish and Pend'd Orielle wanted to come to an agreement...they were tired of their unequal war with the Blackfeet (they had only a few ancient firearms to oppose the well-armed plainsmen) and they certainly did not want trouble with the whites. Spotted Coyote, an Pend'd Orielle War Chief at the council, had been in a scrimmage against the whites during the brief Spokane War. His medicine was bullet proof and he wasn't hurt in the fighting but he saw what heavy rifle P 'd cannons could do to \ Stevens too was an- (cont. on page 9) 700 Fish Die in Jocko What the 90.10 yote Meang Canal From Weed Poison Ravalli (July 3): Fish and aquatic insect life was completely destroyed last Tuesday in one of the Flathead Irrigation Project (FIP) lower canals and over 100 gallons of deadly weed poison was washed down the lower Jocko river into the Flathead. The total fish kill occuned in the Lower J Canal, a large irrigation ditch which starts just below the Ravalli bridge and meanders through the lower Jocko River valley seven miles before returning to the Jocko east of the Dixon bridge. Ac- cording to George Moon, Flathead Irrigation Project Director, the fish poisoning happened when a moss clearing project in the canal backfired. Moon said an FIP crew began applying 110 gallons of highly toxic Xylene, a chemical herbicide, in the canal just below the headgate at 1:00 p.m. The applications began at the Bill Schall ranch and the Schall children were told by the crew to "stay out of the water for a couple of hours." The crew had shut the canal flow down (cont on page 3) Dixon (June 30 ): Whether or not the tribe will begin implementing the 9 0 % proposal approved by reservation tribal member voters June 3 0, has yet to be decided by the Tribal Council. Five hundred and eighty eligible member voters went to the polls the last day of June to decide if the Tribes should per-capita out 9 0 % of reservation revenues and operate tribal administration on 10 %. The 90% proposal also contained a provision that tribal reserve funds may not be spent without voter approval. The proposition passed 3 63 for to 217 against (district by district canvas chart appears at the end of this story.) In its first meeting since the election, the regular quarterly meeting held July 6 at the Dixon Agency Gym, the Council declined to decide whether they will implement the proposal this fiscal year or wait until 1974. The 19 73 tribal budget has already been approved by the Council and sent to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for final approval.

Grand Junction, Colo. (KKCO) - Whether in an urban or rural area, it's part of living in Colorado.
"If it's not hurting anything, then certainly being able to see a fox on your property might be something that is an enjoyable experience," said Mike Porras, Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
It wasn't that enjoyable for Paula Yox. She awoke to fox in her yard killing chickens.
"She went over to the neighbors, killed a chicken, left it laying and then went back and brought another chicken and just started going crazy on the chicken," said Paula Yox.
Yox contacted Colorado Parks and Wildlife, while her neighbor is used to this situation.
"The pups out here they'll come running out of the orchard or something chasing a chicken, just having fun. But they're learning to stalk and to kill. And they're hard to trap," said Caroline Ridenour, whose chickens were killed.
Though this fox acted strange enough to raise concerns about if it was carrying a disease.
"Running around in the day, I've heard that, if you see wild animals in the day that they tend to carry rabies. So, you know, that's what concerns me," said Yox.
Traps can be obtained from Colorado Parks and Wildlife for free. People are advised not to approach or feed wild animals, with the best offense being defense.
"If they have chickens, make sure you have fencing that's going to keep predators out. If that does not work then certainly a trap is an option. And again if it's legal to do so in your jurisdiction you can legally shoot that animal. But, we recommend that people just take precautions and, and do the things they can to keep predators out of their property," said Porras.
The offending fox was killed. It took three shots from a shotgun, and will be tested for disease. She was pregnant, and her male companion is still at large.

It was a pleasure to see today that AOL Travel published two pieces on Greensburg by writer Diane Lambdin Meyer. The article After Devastating Tornado, Kansas Town Re-emerges "Like No Other Place in America" gives readers a brief history of the recovery and displays a series of before-and-after images. Coming up on 6 years post-tornado, it still stops you in your tracks to view images from the May 4, 2007 event.
The other post, Greensburg, Kansas: Five Places to Go, highlights GreenTown's Silo Eco-Home and Green Visitors Center, the 547 Arts Center, the Kiowa County Historical Museum and Soda Fountain (located inside the Kiowa County Commons building on Main Street), the Big Well Museum, and (the now defunct) "FEMAville". Greensburg is an intriguing place to visit, and the description "like no other place in America" is quite apt. Thanks to AOL Travel for the coverage and Diane for the glowing review of the community.

ANES 1994 Time Series Study (ICPSR 6507)
Alternate Title: American National Election Study, 1994: Post-Election Survey [Enhanced with 1992 and 1993 Data]
Principal Investigator(s): Rosenstone, Steven J., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Center for Political Studies; Kinder, Donald R., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Center for Political Studies; Miller, Warren E., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Center for Political Studies; University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. American National Election Studies
This study is part of a time-series collection of national surveys fielded continuously since 1952. The election studies are designed to present data on Americans' social backgrounds, enduring political predispositions, social and political values, perceptions and evaluations of groups and candidates, opinions on questions of public policy, and participation in political life. The 1994 National Election Study is a post-election interview in which approximately 42 percent of the cases are comprised of empaneled respondents first interviewed in AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY, 1992: PRE- AND POST-ELECTION SURVEY [ENHANCED WITH 1990 AND 1991 DATA] (ICPSR 6067) and later in AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDY: 1992-1993 PANEL STUDY ON SECURING ELECTORAL SUCCESS/1993 PILOT STUDY (ICPSR 6264). The other 58 percent of the cases are a freshly drawn cross-section sample. The panel component of the study is designed to exploit the special features of the 1992-1994 elections: a minority president struggling to forge a majority coalition in the face of a strong third-party challenge, and the replacement in 1992 of fully one-quarter of the House of Representatives. Coming at the end of this period, the 1994 National Election Study provides insights into how electoral coalitions form and decay, and how members of the House who were newly-elected in 1992 secured -- or did not secure -- their districts. The design themes became especially salient in the aftermath of the November 8 election, when control of the Congress shifted to the Republican Party for the first time since 1952. Survey questions included the now-standard National Election Studies battery of congressional evaluations supplemented by questions on term limits, the respondent's representative's vote on President Bill Clinton's crime bill, and whether the respondent felt that his or her representative cared more about prestige and influence for himself/herself than about solving the problems of the congressional district. The content for the 1994 Election Study reflects its dual purpose, both as the traditional presidential election year time-series data collection and as the third wave of a panel study. In addition to the standard demographic items, respondents were asked their positions on the following substantive themes: interest in the campaign, media exposure, presidential performance evaluation, measures of partisanship (party likes/dislikes and party identification), which party would better handle certain public problems, summary evaluations (feeling thermometers) on major political figures and social groups, and recent voting behavior. Respondents were also asked their views on issues such as defense spending, assistance to Blacks, the trade-off between spending and services, health insurance, the role of women, recent proposals to reform welfare, preferences on federal budget allocations, and evaluations of retrospective and prospective national and personal economic trends. They were also queried on the extent of their participation in the campaign and their values regarding egalitarianism, attitudes toward race, school prayer, and abortion.

Improving energy efficiency is doable
I'm writing to support the president's efforts to address the problem of climate change. We can't do it alone, but we can forge ahead and challenge others to follow our lead. We need to reduce carbon emissions from coal-fired plants. One month ago, it was reported that, for the first time in human history, the level of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere had reached 400 ppm (parts per million). We need to work cooperatively with other countries to prevent more CO2 from entering the atmosphere. I especially liked his comments on renewables, like solar and energy efficiency. Here's a personal example of how this could work. In 2010, my wife and I had the walls of our ranch-style home insulated and had additional insulation placed in our attic.

Traditional marriages are still available
I am here today to console those disappointed by the Supreme Court's decisions regarding same-sex marriage and the supposed demise of traditional marriage. Same-sex marriage in this country, and this state in particular, has gone through ups and downs and ins and outs. But through all of this, one thing has remained constant. Traditional marriage never went away, was never challenged on its validity, was never changed and continues to be there for anyone who wishes to avail themselves of it. My wife and I are still "traditionally married." Our eldest son and daughter-in-law had a traditional marriage. Our other sons still have that option as well. Take heart. Nothing has been taken away -- only enhanced.

Memorial Stadium retrofit best option
Overall, Jon Wilner's series on Cal athletics facilities financing (Page 1C, June 25) offered balanced coverage of a complex topic. I appreciate that the reporting made clear we had no choice when it came to retrofitting Memorial Stadium after members of the UC regents directed the campus to either retrofit or move out. It is also worth noting that we examined the possibility of playing elsewhere, but other venues presented disqualifying financial challenges. Simply retrofitting the stadium, without other improvements, certainly would have lowered the price tag.
However, a retrofit-only project could not have been funded through philanthropy, and using state money or student fees was not an option. So, we went beyond a retrofit and improved the facility with new amenities and premium seating that offer value to donors, fans and sponsors and support seat sales through the Endowment Seating Program. Although that program has yet to live up to our expectations, that does not mean it has failed. Seat sales have already generated sufficient funds to cover interest expenses for approximately 20 years, providing us with ample time to assess and, if needed, adjust a much-improved financial model.

AIKEN, S.C. – In the first-ever top-5 showdown in program history, the nationally third-ranked University of South Carolina Aiken women's basketball team had its program-record tying 12-game win streak snapped in a 56-50 loss to No. 4 Clayton State on Wednesday evening at the Convocation Center.
With the loss, USC Aiken (12-1, 5-1 PBC) still remains in first place in the Peach Belt Conference East Division. Clayton State (14-0, 7-0 PBC) after its win is still on top of the Peach Belt Conference West Division standings.
The USC Aiken loss also snapped a 25-game regular-season home winning streak for the Pacers. The Pacers had not lost at home in the regular-season since falling in a nationally-televised top-20 showdown between the then 18th-ranked Pacers and No. 5 Clayton State on Jan. 15, 2011.
In a game that completely lived up to its national billing, the score changed hands seven times and was tied eight times.
The Pacers opened the contest on an 11-2 run over the first five and a half minutes.
Clayton State would battle its way back into the contest from there with the two teams entering halftime tied 25-25.
The second half would be much the same as the first stanza with the two top-5 teams playing close the whole way. The game was still knotted at 50-50 with 34 seconds left in the game.
Clayton State would then score the final six points of the game to narrowly take the victory.
AIKEN, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken men's basketball team picked up a 66-55 Peach Belt Conference victory over Clayton State on Wednesday evening at the Convocation Center.
USC Aiken (9-4, 5-1 PBC) with the win moved a half-game ahead of Augusta State (8-3, 4-1 PBC) in the Peach Belt Conference East Division. The Pacers are now tied with Peach Belt West Division leader and next opponent Young Harris (10-3, 5-1 PBC) for the overall lead in the Peach Belt Conference at 5-1.
Clayton State (7-7, 3-4 PBC) opened things up in the game by racing out to a 12-3 lead. The Pacers would then go on a 16-4 run to own a 19-16 lead with 9:29 remaining.
The Pacers would not stop from there as they entered halftime with a commanding 38-20 lead.
The second half would be much closer, but USC Aiken would eventually emerge with the 11-point win.
USC Aiken closed out its victory shooting 40.4 percent (23-for-57) as a team. Clayton State ended its loss shooting 40.9 percent (18-for-44).

SANTA CLARA -- A week before meeting the 49ers, the Houston Texans owned a 20-3 halftime lead Sunday on the 49ers' arch rivals, the Seattle Seahawks.
"We're going to get right back in that same spot and finish the job," quarterback Matt Schaub said Monday on his weekly radio show regarding the Texans' intentions for their Candlestick Park visit.
Schaub and the Texans are reeling after not finishing off the Seahawks, who rallied for a 23-20 overtime victory in Houston.
The 49ers and Texans each might have 2-2 records and still-existent Super Bowl expectations, but they're coming off drastically different ballgames. The 49ers have been bathing in good vibes after their 35-11 win Thursday night at St. Louis.
The Texans must stew for a week after their second-half collapse against the unbeaten Seahawks.
For the third straight game, Schaub has had a pass intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Richard Sherman's 58-yard interception return tied Sunday's score at 20 with 2:40 left in regulation.
"We had 'em on the ropes," Schaub told SportsRadio 610. "Our team played outstanding. One play every game can be the difference between winning and losing. Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side of that."
The Texans collapse came without linebacker Brian Cushing, who exited because of a concussion. Cushing will have to pass a series of post-concussion tests this week to play against the 49ers.
Coach Gary Kubiak said Cushing attended Monday meetings and was feeling better. As for Schaub's state of mind, Kubiak said he had a long talk with his quarterback after Sunday's game and continues to endorse the Texans' starter since 2007.
"I don't see a lack of confidence. I see some poor decision-making situations," Kubiak said at his Monday news conference. "(There's) some that he has to handle, and some we can help him handle.
"When you battle that hard and your team battles that hard to win a game, and something like that happens, emotions of the moment are extremely difficult," Kubiak added. " ... We're there for him right now. We have to help him work through this."
Schaub has thrown an interception in seven straight games, including last season's two playoff games before the Patriots dispatched Houston in the divisional round.
Of Sherman's interception, Schaub said: "To just give them that, it's a crushing blow. It hurt. It hurt bad."
The 49ers defense has produced just three interceptions all season, including one against Sam Bradford on Thursday night while dropping at least two other potential interceptions.
The 49ers and Texans have met only twice previously in regular-season action: The host 49ers won 20-17 in overtime in 2005, the host Texans prevailed 24-21 in 2009.
Schaub was the Texans' quarterback in that 2009 win, going 20 of 30 for 264 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions as the 49ers rallied behind Alex Smith off the bench.
Schaub's take on this year's 49ers: "They're a good defense. Very big up front, very physical, a good secondary, much like we faced yesterday. We're going to have to play our best ball, our most complete game, to find a way to get a road win."

About the Book
When faith and facts collide, Jo March—a young woman born into an Evangelical Christian dynasty—wrestles with questions about who she is and how she fits into the weave of her faithful family. Chasing loose threads that she hopes will lead to the truth, Jo sets off on an unlikely quest across boundaries of language and religion, through chasms of sectarian divides in the Muslim world. Against the backdrop of the War on Terror—travelling from California to Chicago, Pakistan to Iraq—she delves deeply into the past, encountering relatives, often for the first time, whose histories are intricately intertwined with her own . . . only to learn that true spiritual devotion is a broken field riddled with doubt and that nothing is ever as it seems.
A story of forbidden love and familial dysfunction that interweaves multiple generational and cultural viewpoints, The Sweetness of Tears is a powerful reminder of the ties that bind us, the choices that divide us, and the universal joys and tragedies that shape us all.

Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota actively study possible causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Research includes identifying biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid that may someday help to identify and monitor loss of motor neurons in ALS and aid in monitoring response to treatment.
Research also includes identifying genes that may cause or contribute to the development of ALS. Researchers study genes that may predict people who are at high risk of ALS.
In addition, researchers study potential new treatments for people with ALS and ALS-related diseases and participate in clinical trials of potential new medications. For example, researchers study how stem cells potentially may be used to prevent cell death and tissue damage.

AUSTIN (February 4, 2013)--The tax system Texas uses to finance public schools is unconstitutional, State District Judge John Dietz ruled Monday in Austin in a lawsuit filed by than 600 school districts responsible for educating three-quarters of the state's 5 million-plus public school students.
After a trial that took more than three months, Dietz determined the Legislature has not adequately funded schools as required under the Texas Constitution.
In 2011, the Legislature cut $5.4 billion in funding by rewriting the formula used to distribute state money.
Dietz ruled from the bench and was expected to provide a detailed opinion later.
The attorney general's office is expected to appeal the case to the Texas Supreme Court.
"Judge Dietz's ruling on adequacy confirms what school districts have known all along," said attorney John Turner, who represented nearly 90 of the districts.
"State funding has dramatically declined at the same time that academic expectations have dramatically increased. The constitution requires that districts have access to adequate resources to ensure that all of their students have a meaningful opportunity to meet state expectations and graduate college- or career-ready," he said.
"The Supreme Court has said before that the state must provide the resources necessary to meet its own standards. We believe that Judge Dietz correctly found, after 44 days of testimony, that the state is not providing those resources today," he said.
Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst issued a statement Monday in which he said he disagrees with the ruling, and expects an immediate state Supreme Court Appeal.
"While we await their final ruling, I will continue to work with Governor Perry, Speaker Straus, and the Legislature to continue to support our students and improve public education. Together we will ensure that Texas continues to have an accountable, efficient system of public education that produces graduates ready to compete in college and in our global economy," he said.
But Texas American Federation of Teachers President Linda Bridges said lawmakers should act now to rectify the situation, notwithstanding the state's plan to appeal.
"Today's ruling should spur the legislature to do what it ought to be doing anyway—using the state's resurgent revenue to restore school funding that was cut severely last session, and reforming the school-finance system to satisfy constitutional requirements," she said.
"The inevitable appeal that the state's lawyers will pursue in this case must not become an excuse for legislative inertia. The state needs to invest more in public education immediately, because the kids can't wait," she said.
Association of Texas Professional Educators President Deann Lee called the ruling "a victory for our state and our public schools and especially for students and their parents."
"Judge Dietz made the only prudent decision that could be made today regarding public education funding in Texas; the system is broken, unconstitutional, and doing harm to students," she said.
"The Texas legislature has failed to meet its responsibility to our state's schoolchildren and provide them with the resources they need to compete in an increasingly competitive global economy," she said.

About Ouro Verde
Ouro Verde is a praseolite that has a greenish yellow body color and is produced by heating certain amethysts with the addition of irradiation. As with green amethyst, the color is permanent and will not fade. Both have a Mohs rating of 7 and are excellent for daily wear. Praseolite comes in large sizes and displays excellent clarity, all at an affordable price. Green amethyst and Ouro Verde are slightly different colors of a natural gemstone called praseolite, belonging to the quartz family. While the color of praseolite can occur naturally, it is most often heat treated amethyst. Not all amethyst will change into praseolite when heated, only certain stones from certain areas will do this. Lightly colored amethysts from the Montezuma mine in Brazil, when heated, will turn into this lovely green hue. The color is permanent and will not fade.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
An ancient Persian legend states the Earth rests on a gigantic sapphire that gives its blue reflection to the sky. The most popular colors for sapphires range from light blue to a blue that appears black. Hence, the name was derived from the Latin form of the Greek word for blue, "sapphirus." Bright daylight makes most sapphires shine more vividly than the somewhat muted artificial light. So the most highly cherished color for blue sapphires is not the darkest blue, but a deep and satiated blue, which even in dim, artificial light remains to appear blue.
While sapphires are best known for being velvety blue, it was decided long ago to consider all gemstones of the mineral family corundum to be sapphires. Non-blue sapphires are termed "fancy" and can be nearly any color, including yellow, green, white/colorless, pink, orange, brown, purple, golden and even black. Red corundum is the exception, however, and was given the special name of "ruby." Since pink is really just a light red, the International Colored Gemstone Association has resolved to consider light shades of the red hue to be included in the category ruby, as it is too difficult to legislate where red ends and pink begins. In practice, however, pink shades of corundum are known as either pink ruby or pink sapphire. All sapphires rank a 9.0 on the Mohs Scale, second only to diamonds in hardness.
There are a great number of varieties of sapphire, many of which are quite rare and highly sought-after in the gemstone market. A rare orange-pink variety, known as padparadscha, can be even more valuable than blue sapphire. Pronounced PAD-PA-RAD-SHAH, the name comes from the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom. Endowed with both pink and orange color components, its hues range from pastels to fiery shades. Padparadscha sapphires are usually heat treated to improve and intensify their color, while the color of untreated stones will fade over time. An untreated padparadscha sapphire that has faded will return to its original pinkish-orange color, however, if exposed to sunlight for about an hour.
Another rare variety of sapphire is known as the color-changing sapphire. This stone exhibits different colors in different light. In natural light, color-changing sapphire is blue, but in artificial light, it is violet.
For experts and connoisseurs, the Kashmir-color is considered the most beautiful and valuable shade. It features a pure and intensive blue, which is enhanced by a fine, silky gloss. Its color does not change in artificial light, but remains intense with a deep, velvety sheen. Setting the standard for the color of top-quality sapphires, Kashmir sapphires were found in 1880 after an avalanche. They were intensely mined for only eight years until the source was depleted. The Burma-color is also considered especially valuable, ranging from rich royal blue to deep cornflower blue. Ceylon sapphires are prized as well for the luminosity and brilliance of their light to medium blue color.
There is a translucent variety of sapphire, called star sapphire, which displays a six-point star when cut into a smooth domed cabochon. The mineral rutile is embedded in an asterisk-shape within the stone, causing light to reflect in a phenomenon called "asterism." Six- or twelve-ray stars appear to magically glide across the surface of the stones as they are moved. Star sapphires and rubies are expensive rarities and should always display the stars exactly in the center of the gem. Value is influenced by the intensity of the body color and the strength and sharpness of the star. The star stone is said to be the home of each person's angel, who lives there in contentment with the sapphire's spirit.
The stone is mined in many parts of the world. The oldest sapphire mines are situated in Ceylon, today called Sri Lanka, where gemstones were mined in ancient times. Most blue sapphires today come from Thailand or Australia, but sapphires from Kashmir and Myanmar (formerly Burma) are considered the most rare and highly prized. Sapphires are readily available in sizes of up to 2.00ct, but gems weighing 5.00-10.00ct are not unusual. The cushion-cut Logan Sapphire from Sri Lanka weighs an astounding 423.00ct and can be seen at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. There is also a 258.00ct stone set in the Russian crown, which is kept in the Diamond Fund in Moscow.
Because the gem has long symbolized sincere love and enduring faithfulness, blue sapphires are often given in engagement rings to express commitment and loyalty. Many women throughout the world decide on the blue stone for their engagement rings, as the gem also represents truth, friendship, harmony and consistency. Sapphire blue has become a color related to anything permanent and reliable, making it an ideal stone to symbolize the promise of marriage.
Often referred to as "Gem of the Heavens," sapphire also symbolizes a noble soul. It is September's birthstone and is traditionally given as 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gifts. Star sapphires are given for the 65th anniversary. The color sapphire-blue is known for representing clarity and competence. In fact, the first computer to ever declare victory over a chess grandmaster and world champion was named "Deep Blue."
Sapphires have been associated with magical powers throughout the ages. The Greeks identified white sapphires with Apollo and the oracles at Delphi used them to tap into the subconscious and super conscious. During the Middle Ages, sapphires symbolized the tranquility of the heavens and wearing them was thought to bring peace, happiness and purity of the soul. The color blue became the symbol of the union between a priest and the heavens, so sapphires came to be adorned on the rings of bishops. Soldiers wore them to prevent capture by enemies and kings wore the gemstone to defend against harm and put themselves in divine favor. This supposed "divine favor" is why sapphires were often the gemstone of choice for high priests and royalty throughout history. In fact, the British Crown Jewels contain a number of notable sapphires.
Today, sapphires are still believed to hold special powers. The stone is said to provide healing properties for mental illness and depression. It can be considered an aid to psycho kinesis, telepathy and clairvoyance, while providing spiritual enlightenment and inner peace. White sapphires, like diamonds, are considered the guardians of love, enhancing it and ensuring fidelity in marriage. The most powerful type of the gem is said to be the star sapphire. They are believed to protect against negative energy and have a calming effect that allows the mind to experience tranquility, joy and clear thinking.
Ouro Verde
Meaning "green gold" in Portuguese, ouro verde is a type of quartz found in Brazil. Its name comes from its color, which is a vivid chartreuse hue with yellow highlights. Most ouro verde today is produced by heat-treating (irradiating) amethyst or yellow quartz, which gives the transparent stone its pale, golden-green color. Also known as "green gold", the name of this gem can also be spelled "oro verde." It ranks a 7.0 on the Mohs Scale and is spectacular for jewelry.

A healthy and refreshing blend, Green Tea Tropical makes an ideal introduction to green tea.• 4 oz. or 1 lb loose tea in bag • 1 rounded tbsp. per 12 oz. cup • 4 oz bag makes 25-30 cups; 1 lb bag makes 100-120 cups
Green Tea, Pineapple Bits, Cornflowers, Safflower, Natural Flavors

Smooth green tea balanced with flowery and tropical fruit notes. This blend results in a lively and refreshing cup. An ideal brew for those new to green tea.
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
Hot and iced tea brewing instructions are listed below.
Hot Tea ::
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to 170F-180F or in the alternative heat to a boil and let sit for 1-2 minutes. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one level tablespoon of loose green tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 2 - 3 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Iced Tea ::
A stronger brew is required for iced tea than for hot tea because of ice's dilution action. Prepare a tea concetrate as follows:
Single Serving
For a single serving, prepare as for hot tea, use one level tablespoon of loose tea per 12 ounces of water and after brewing pour over ice.
Large Serving
1. For a larger serving, prepare a iced tea concentrate by bringing one quart of cold water to a rolling boil in a tea kettle.
2. Remove from heat and add 8-10 teaspoons per quart of brewed tea.
3. Steep 2 - 3 minutes or to desired strength.
4. To serve immediately, pour over ice in a tall glass, or add another quart of cold water to the concentrate and chill in refrigerator.

Health Benefits
Green Tea
Both black and green tea originate from the same plant, the Camellia sinensis. However, the final product differs in style, taste and caffeine content due to differences in processing. Green teas are not fermented or fully oxidized like black teas, but instead steamed or pan fired. Like black teas though, green tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived compounds called polyphenols. Included within the broad polyphenol class are flavonoids and catechins. A kind of flavonoid, catechins are found in tea leaves and may provide protective action against harmful free radicals.
Research shows that these free radicals cause heart disease, some kinds of cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Further health benefits of green tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones.
In addition, green tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
Pineapple(Ananas comosus)
This tropical fruit is high in the enzyme bromelain, a natural anti-inflammatory that bolsters healing, and Vitamin C.
Green Tea Tropical makes an ideal after-dinner drink. Pairs well with spicy foods and seafood. Try it as an iced tea during the summer to refresh and revive.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Tim Lincecum's first outing for the Giants since Feb. 26 started sensationally, wavered slightly, then finally caved in at the climax Tuesday night.
Lincecum gave up four hits, a walk and three runs in 21/3 innings and struck out three in a 6-2 Giants loss to the San Diego Padres. But perhaps the most significant number beyond the statistical line was 43 -- his pitch count -- which included a high ratio of impressive strikes, at least for the first two innings.
Manager Bruce Bochy's goal to get Lincecum back on track for the regular season was approximately 40 pitches in this start. He got there, and for two-thirds of the way, it was a pretty promising performance for someone who hadn't been in a game for 13 days because of a blister on his right middle finger.
"I thought he was pretty good," Bochy said. "In that third inning, he might have been getting a little tired, but overall, he did a good job.
"He had good stuff and threw all of his pitches. Plus, we got him where want him as far as his pitches. He hasn't been out there much, which is fine. We've got plenty of time."
Lincecum himself was less impressed.
"I threw some good changeups at times, but every pitch probably could have been better altogether," he said. "But I'm pleased all around with the result. The blister wasn't an issue, I got my pitch count up, and I got to go out there for multiple innings, which were all things I wanted to do."
Lincecum's first five pitches of the night were strikes in a nine-pitch opening inning that included a double-play grounder followed by a strikeout of veteran Mark Kotsay with a changeup. Lincecum's fastball, meanwhile, according to various radar guns, was registering between 92-94 mph.
It got a little wobbly in the second when Lincecum walked Yonder Alonso on five pitches and then surrendered a line single to center by Jedd Gyorko. But he came back to strike out Cody Ransom and Rene Rivera to end the inning, and things were going quite swimmingly after two -- 27 pitches, 18 strikes, three strikeouts and just one hard-hit ball.
But after Lincecum got a quick two-pitch groundout to start the third, the wheels came off -- three consecutive hits, including a triple by Kotsay that ended Lincecum's night. On the hits he surrendered, he first fell behind in the count 3-0, 3-0 and 2-0.
"The third inning just kind of got away from me rhythmwise," said Lincecum, who maintained he wasn't fatigued at all. "It's not something I can't go back, look at a little bit of tape and fix next time."
As long as there aren't any more setbacks, Bochy feels comfortable about where Lincecum is at this point despite the missed time.
Lincecum said he hopes to get his pitch count into the mid-50s his next time out "and go from there." He should get four more starts before the regular season starts April 1, and he hopes that will be enough.
"I have to make it work," he said.
Lincecum noted his blister treatments have been working beautifully so far.
"With all the juicing -- I mean, the lime juicing -- along with some mystery mud, I'm trying to make sure it doesn't become a future problem," he said.
Second baseman Marco Scutaro also was on the Venezuela team and is scheduled to return to camp Wednesday.
Left-hander Jose Mijares will travel back to Venezuela on Wednesday to take care of a personal matter, Bochy said. Mijares has been sidelined by a left elbow impingement and is scheduled to resume a throwing program when he returns to camp Saturday.
Tony Abreu (strained quad) and Andres Torres (oblique) were given the day off Tuesday, but both are slated to be back in the lineup Wednesday.
"He laid one in there, didn't he?" Bochy said, smiling. "(Casilla) took care of him."
Staff writer Alex Pavlovic contributed to this report.

I am new in this forum, French and my English is not completed, please thus excuse me in advance.
This section expose a solution for ratio (HD Videos, h264) problem with the new Sony Bravia familly (KDL xx EX700 EX500 etc...) only tested on Windows 7 x64 (but i think it's the same for other OS).
1- Get the latest beta version 1.20.409
2- Edit de ../renderers/bravia5500.conf -> At the "UserAgentAdditionalHeaderSearch=" line, add in the end of line : " |(BRAVIA KDL.+EX7) " like :
UserAgentAdditionalHeaderSearch=(BRAVIA KDL.+5[0-9]{3})|(BRAVIA KDL.+WE5)|(BRAVIA KDL-[0-9]{2}XBR9)|(BRAVIA KDL.+EX5)|(BRAVIA KDL.+EX7)
3- Launch PMS and you should see your PMS on your XMB TV menu.
4- Go to TRANSCODING SETTINGS, select MENCODER in left menu and clic on EXPERT SETTING: CODEC SPECIFIC PARAMETERS button.
* You have different options following the size of the video :
- For 1.77 ratio (1280*720, 1920*1080, TV SHOWS, PIXAR etc...) set :
:: -mpegopts vaspect=4/3
- For 2.35 (or 2.40) ratio (1280*544, 1920*800, 1920*816, many FILMS...) set :
:: -mpegopts vaspect=221/100
Use MEDIA INFO program to know the video format.
i try this option
and it works.((double) width / height) >= 1.7 && ((double) width / height) <= 1.8 :: -mpegopts vaspect=4/3
if i add
only 1.77 videos works, the 2.35 videos have wrong ratio, the second condition seems to be ignored.((double) width / height) >= 1.7 && ((double) width / height) <= 1.8 :: -mpegopts vaspect=4/3
((double) width / height) >= 2.3 && ((double) width / height) <= 2.5 :: -mpegopts vaspect=221/100
when i set only :
the condition won't work. I don't understand because 1280/544 or 1920/816 or 1280/800 > 2.3 and < 2.5 ...((double) width / height) >= 2.3 && ((double) width / height) <= 2.5 :: -mpegopts vaspect=221/100
So i have to change this settings manually... Anyone have a magic syntax to combine this 2 parameters according the video size?
Other thing:
* In my case, i have an INTEL E5300 processor (DUAL CORE), it's insufficient for FULL HD video (stuttering) but it's good on LAN (78mbps) with this option in COMMON TRANSCODE SETTINGS on left menu :
* I resolved some stutterings and de synchronizations of video and sound by set options like image in attachment.
I hope to have helped some one of you and still forgiveness for my bad English
