This example shows how to use the FFT function to analyze the variations in sunspot activity over the last 300 years.
Sunspot activity is cyclical, reaching a maximum about every 11 years. Let's confirm that. Here is a plot of a quantity called the Zurich sunspot relative number, which measures both number and size of sunspots. Astronomers have tabulated this number for almost 300 years.
load sunspot.dat year = sunspot(:,1); relNums = sunspot(:,2); plot(year,relNums) title('Sunspot Data')
Here is a closer look at the first 50 years.
The fundamental tool of signal processing is the FFT, or fast Finite Fourier Transform. To take the FFT of the sunspot data type the following.
The first component of Y, Y(1), is simply the sum of the data, and can be removed.
Y = fft(relNums); Y(1) = [];
A graph of the distribution of the Fourier coefficients (given by Y) in the complex plane is pretty, but difficult to interpret. We need a more useful way of examining the data in Y.
plot(Y,'ro') title('Fourier Coefficients in the Complex Plane'); xlabel('Real Axis'); ylabel('Imaginary Axis');
The complex magnitude squared of Y is called the power, and a plot of power versus frequency is a "periodogram".
n = length(Y); power = abs(Y(1:floor(n/2))).^2; nyquist = 1/2; freq = (1:n/2)/(n/2)*nyquist; plot(freq,power) xlabel('cycles/year') title('Periodogram')
The scale in cycles/year is somewhat inconvenient. We can plot in years/cycle and estimate the length of one cycle.
Now we plot power versus period for convenience (where period = 1./freq). As expected, there is a very prominent cycle with a length of about 11 years.
period = 1./freq; plot(period,power); axis([0 40 0 2e+7]); ylabel('Power'); xlabel('Period (Years/Cycle)');
Finally, we can fix the cycle length a little more precisely by picking out the strongest frequency. The red dot locates this point.
hold on; index = find(power == max(power)); mainPeriodStr = num2str(period(index)); plot(period(index),power(index),'r.', 'MarkerSize',25); text(period(index)+2,power(index),['Period = ',mainPeriodStr]); hold off;

Those who took the Line 5 on the Beijing subway home tonight were greeted with a surprise: big eff yous plastered all over the place.
Chinese news site iFeng shows numerous screens and display read, "Wang Peng ni mei" (王鹏你妹) or as ShanghaiIst explains: it's literally "Wang Peng, your sister", but that means something like, "Wang Peng, fuck you" in English. (It can also mean a slightly more lighthearted "Wang Peng, fuck off").
No wonder station employees scrambled to cover up the messages.
What isn't clear is why the monitor system was displaying this message. Did someone hack the system? Is this a disgruntled worker? Who is Wang Peng?

One of the challenges of big data is that it is, well, big.
Computers are optimized for math on 64 bits or less. Any bigger,
and extra steps have to be taken to work with the data which is
very expensive. This is why a BIGINT is 64 bits. In MySQL
DECIMAL can store more than 64 bits of data using fixed
precision. Large numbers can use FLOAT or DECIMAL but those
data types are lossy.
DECIMAL is an expensive encoding. Fixed precision math is expensive and you eventually run out of precision at which point you can't store any more data, right?
What happens when you want to store a counter that is bigger than the maximum DECIMAL? FLOAT is …

The Office is one of those shows where you get jealous of the fun they seem to be having with each other on set, and tonight's cold open lip-dub was a perfect example.
I don't understand why people I know seemed to hate last season so much, because the show is always such comfort food to me. But even if it was not on par with other seasons, they do know character, and there is no better way to start this season and remind you of who these people are than this awesome lip-dub. We have self-promoting Ryan, Magician Michael, Grumpy Stanley and Pink Panther Kelly all in full display. Looks fun.

The newest generation of buyers is spawning in the real estate buying market. Young professionals and families are getting established and beginning to shop for their first or second homes in the mountains.
They come from near and far to fancy their dreams of living in Summit County. With this new age of buyers comes the struggle of marketing your home to appeal to the taste of these younger shoppers. Some simple color adjustments and internal updates can be the key to flipping that "open house" sign to "sold" this winter.
Neutral tones in the gray family are the hottest theme in color schemes for 2013. One of my last articles discussed the 2013's trends in Pantone colors. Gray shades highlighted with patterns and accent hues lend the eye-catching to the younger crowd.
In high-traffic department and super stores, the home decorating sections are layered with interior ideas of gray, making the transformation of your place into the world of neutrals and grays pretty effortless. Along with the "hip" association buyers will have with your place, the ability to envision a clean design and floor plan with simple lines and crisp colors will put your listing ahead of the rest.
The two rooms that sell a home are the master bedroom and the kitchen. According to Houzz.com, most home buyers under the age of 40 are looking for kitchens with white or off-white cabinetry. Why is that? The youthfulness of brightly colored kitchens is viewed as more timeless. Darker cabinetry colors are often associated with, as Houzz.com explains, "your mother's dark and dim kitchen."
More updates to consider for the kitchen include new appliances and countertops. The younger real estate cliental often includes granite or stone countertops and new appliance on their check list of desired features.
If you are struggling with the updating tasks, you may consider marketing your place as a fixer-upper. There is a population out there looking to recreate their dream home from a blank slate. In order to do this, these buyers head out on their search with the mentality that the homes they are visiting are in an affordable price point and require work on their behalf. As they pursue their new home, they know that they will be getting into a home where they will be getting their hands dirty - and you get to opt out of the work.
If staging your home completely toward a select demographic makes you uneasy, make an effort to combine concepts to appeal to the masses of home buyers. All home buyers have similar check lists for their future home. Fresh paint, strategic accessorizing and easy, yet eye-capturing furniture can go a long way in alluring to all of the home buyers that will visit your property.

PHOENIX -- The fans would wave and yell for Jean Machi, holding up baseballs, jerseys and cards, desperate for an autograph. After a few weeks, it got to be too much. When the Giants spilled into the visiting dugout in St. Louis one afternoon last summer, Sergio Romo took out a thick piece of white tape and stamped it on Machi's back. Romo borrowed a reporter's pen and wrote a short message.
"I'm Machi," the tape read, "Not Pablo."
A year later, Machi is finally known for much more than having the same build as fellow Venezuelan Pablo Sandoval.
The right-hander has broken through at 32, becoming one of the most valuable relievers in baseball while putting up numbers more suited for a video game. Four hundred thirty-two big leaguers have thrown at least 10 innings this season, and none have an ERA lower than Machi's 0.29. The lone run on Machi's ledger came April 15 against the Dodgers. Since then, Machi has thrown 25 consecutive scoreless innings, the longest active streak in the majors.
"He's just been awesome," manager Bruce Bochy said. "It's unbelievable. Those numbers are a little crazy to have at this time of year, but you do see that occasionally."
Not long ago, Machi thought he would never put up any numbers -- good or bad -- in the big leagues. Machi, now listed at 6-foot, 255 pounds, was a skinny 18-year-old shortstop when the Philadelphia Phillies signed him out of Venezuela, kick-starting a winding journey through the minors. The story is a familiar one in baseball. The big-armed kid had command issues at nearly every level and stalled in four organizations.
The Giants saw flashes that they liked, though. Dave Machemer, a coach in the system, watched Machi play in the Mexican League and wrote a glowing report, and the Giants signed him in 2011. But with full bullpens in the big leagues and Triple-A, the Giants were happy to loan out Machi when a Mexican team, Diablos Rojas, inquired about his services. As Machi went through another long summer of bus rides, this time south of the border, he began to think seriously about his future.
"That 2011 season, that was my last shot. If I didn't make it (to the big leagues), I wanted to try to explore other leagues like Japan," Machi said through teammate and translator Juan Gutierrez. "I thought, this is it for me."
Machi didn't break through that year, but his family persuaded him to take one more shot. The Giants brought him to camp in 2012, and again, Machi's Mexican team came calling.
"That time I said, 'No, he's too close to the big leagues,' " assistant general manager Bobby Evans said. "He wasn't going back. We saw him as a guy who could help us up here."
Machi made his debut as a September call-up in 2012, seven months after his 30th birthday. Fourteen years after he first signed, he has become a go-to guy for Bochy, who has long insisted that Machi is sneaky athletic (a fact he validated with a stunning bunt in an extra-innings win over the Pirates last month) and "has the equipment" to succeed in the big leagues.
That arsenal includes a fastball that tops out at 95 mph, but Machi relies primarily on a self-taught splitter that has devastating late break and has always been his weapon of choice.
"He's learned to get hitters to mishit the ball," left-hander Jeremy Affeldt said. "He's got a split that can go two different ways, and he understands that you don't have to throw it way out of the strike zone. You want the hitter to make contact, but make bad contact, and that's what he gets them to do."
Catcher Hector Sanchez said Machi's splitter "is way bigger than it was last year," leading to the breakthrough.
"It's crazy, man," Sanchez said. "It's always down in the zone, always."
Machi has given up just 17 hits in 31 innings and has mitigated much of that paltry damage with eight double plays. He'll take his scoreless streak -- the longest by a Giants reliever since Affeldt's 29-inning run in 2009 -- into this weekend's series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team in the opposing dugout when Machi finally made his big league debut. Two of Machi's five wins this year have come against the Diamondbacks, but it's another feat that stands out to him in this remarkable season.
Teammates say Machi is rarely talking but always smiling and laughing. Machi dialed up the intensity May 11 in Los Angeles, when Bochy handed him the ball with a three-run lead in extra innings. Machi struck out two while picking up his first big league save.
"That meant a lot," said Machi, who has 41 saves in the Venezuelan Winter League. "I always wanted one save in the big leagues. That was a dream come true."

LeVeon Bell out of walking boot
Posted by Josh Alper on August 28, 2013, 11:51 AM EDT
After initial reports about the severity of Steelers running back LeVeon Bells sprained foot put his timeline for recovery at six to eight weeks, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin gave a more optimistic read on the situation.
Tomlin said that Bell was able to do physical activity without discomfort and said that he had not been told that Bell would definitely be out for any specific length of time. It may have just been a coach trying to stay positive, but theres now another suggestion that Bell may be further along the road to recovery than it seemed at the time of the injury.
Dale Lolley of the Washington Observer-Reporter reports that Bell has shed the walking boot he had been wearing to protect his foot since suffering the injury. Lolley says theres still no definitive timetable for his return, but its a positive sign for Bell that his foot is well enough structurally to lose the support offered by the boot so soon after getting hurt.
Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer are expected to handle the majority of reps while Bell is out. If things break right for the Steelers, that may not be a very long time.

Moving to the SEC might have been a bigger move for the basketball team than the football, as a new start is exactly what Texas A&M needed. Elston Turner, the 6'5 guard and leading scorer will return for the season and hopes the six new freshman can inject some life into this Aggie team. A&M shouldn't have too much trouble with the preseason, but they start off the SEC with a bang when they visit defending-champion Kentucky on Jan. 21 followed by a trip to Florida on Feb. 1. The Tigers will visit College Station on Feb. 12, and Alabama will be there shortly after.
The Aggies play their home games at the Reed Arena, located in College Station, Texas. When filled to capacity, Reed Arena holds nearly 13,000 screaming fans. Often voted as one of the most hostile environments in college basketball, Reed Arena is a must for Aggies fans. The Texas A&M Aggies home bench is on the Reed Arena sideline in front of sections 120. Reed Arena parking information is covered in our Aggies event guide.
Texas Longhorns
Part of the State Farm Lone Star Showdown between the two college programs, the basketball match-up is always one of the more heated games on the schedule. As the battle for state supremacy, these two teams are often locked in close games that have only heightened the rivalry.
Since 2006, the Aggies have been selected to six NCAA Tournaments, advancing to the Sweet Sixteen in 2007. Overall, Texas A&M has made the NCAA Tournament twelve times. Even Texas A&M is still searching for their first SEC championship, they two Southwest Conference tournaments in the 1980s and won the regular season title 11 times.

Shakespeare Quotes: Clothes make the manfrom
Clothes make the man Introduction
I'm Polonius. I'm a Danish Lord who is pretty self-absorbed and really impressed with the sound of my own voice. I love giving advice even if people aren't after it. And you know what I think?
Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell: my blessing season this in thee! (1.3.55-81)
Who Said It and Where
This may all sound like really serious, fatherly stuff, but played by the right actor, Polonius's self-absorbed, rambling, and dull speech can become completely hilarious. Let's face it: Hamlet needs some comic relief and Polonius certainly delivers it. We've all rolled our eyes at our parents before. They mean well but sometimes they just drone on and on and on and on and—okay, you get the point. They love to lecture you, even if you don't need it or have already heard it a billion times.
That's exactly what Polonius is doing here. His son, Laertes, is about to depart for Paris, and he has some dear parting words for him. It's really just a lot of long-winded advice: listen more than you talk, don't borrow or lend money, don't bling yourself out (or be gaudy), and be true to yourself.
Shakespeare's original audience would have understood that someone who is not true to himself is false, or to put it in our language: a phony. If you borrow someone else's money to buy a bunch of cool new stuff, you're really just pretending you can afford all that stuff, since the money wasn't yours to begin with. And Polonius doesn't want his son to forget it. Sound a little like your parents?
Polonius likes to dish advice, but he sure can't take it. He pays someone to spy on his son and spies on his daughter himself, with a little help from the king. Given Polonius's penchant for spying on his children and Hamlet in order to curry favor with King Claudius, he's not really in any position to be talking about being real about who you are. The guy's a poser.

Tony La Russa, on the weekend he entered Baseball's Hall of Fame, told the New York Daily News that he voiced "suspicions" about possible steroid use by players when he was the A's manager.
But La Russa was met with indifference by A's upper management, namely then-general manager Sandy Alderson.
"I knew our programs in Oakland were 100 percent clean," La Russa told the Daily News in a story published Saturday. "But we had our suspicions -- guys hitting stronger but not working out. I went to Sandy and ownership about this. And they told me flat off, 'Right of privacy. It's a collective bargaining issue.' "
Alderson, now the New York Mets general manager, told the Daily News, "I'm not going to comment on that until at least Monday."

Should IKEA 'Table' India?
A corporate strategy article by Thunderbird students Marquita Blanding, Ankush Brahmavar, Tim Clarke, Jennifer Garcia, Stephanie Sharma and Jason Teague
With approximately 500 million young adult consumers in India[1] and an affluent growth rate of 13% equaling USD 203 billion,[2] it would appear that Sweden-based IKEA can't afford to delay its entrance into India any longer. A country that is accustomed to paying a higher price for the niceties that are afforded around the world, India has an educated, innovative, resource-rich base ready to 'spend.'
In January 2012, the Indian government amended FDI restrictions to allow foreign companies to own 100% of their retail ventures in the country. This was a welcome change from the earlier ownership cap of 51%, as it paved the way for global retail chains like IKEA, Wal-Mart, and others to have full control of their Indian operations. But the market opening came with new restrictions that many retailers view as obstacles to its investment, including a requirement that foreign companies obtain at least 30% of their products from domestic small companies and cottage industries. In light of this rule, IKEA has expressed that local sourcing requirements were "concerning" and more easily met by food retailers such as Carrefour than a single-brand company like IKEA with global product ranges.[3]

Hello everyone. I've been using the PMS for a while now but I recently ran into problems with a blueray MP4 rip. I'm trying to get the .srt sub files to work but they don't seem to want to. Clicking the triangle button informs me that there are no subs avaliable. When playing it on my computer with for instance VLC media player it works just fine.
I have the exact same name for the two files that I want to work together (except for the ending, .mp4 for the video file and .srt for the subs file).
I looked through some old comments here on the website and they talked about downgrading to a lesser version, but that was quite a while ago, so I'm wondering if this still is the case?
I am streaming to a PS3.
As a side note here, I am happy to admit that I am a -complete- noob on this. Imagine yourself speaking to a child when you explain things, please. I am no good with this kind of stuff.
Thanks on forehand.
PS: I have the latest avaliable version of Java and the latest avaliable version of PMS.
I really appriciate any help and I am so sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, I did several different searches trying to find if someone else could have a possible solution for me. Thank you so much!

Jerry McBride/Durango Herald
The right pitch at the right time.
That was the Durango High School softball team�s strategy Tuesday afternoon, and it couldn�t have worked much better.
With just a two-run lead, Lexy Vidunas threw the right pitches from the rubber to work out of two jams in the fifth and sixth innings before Mackenzie Sill hit a two-RBI triple that cemented the Demons� win.
DHS beat Basalt 7-2 at Fort Lewis College�s blustery Aspen Field.
�Right pitch at the right time, I guess,� Sill said.
Sill got a couple of those Tuesday, also starting off Durango�s scoring with a two-RBI double as the Demons� No. 3 hitter in the first inning. Sill was preceded by singles from Vidunas and Mercy Lashway.
Sill had a team-high-tying three hits along with Vidunas. Lashway and Sidney Corbin each added two hits against Morgan Young, who gave up 12 hits and five earned runs in six innings in the loss.
But Vidunas� biggest contribution came from the circle, where she gave up 10 hits and one earned run over seven innings. She also struck out five batters � including the final Longhorns� hitter, Britan Strobel, in three pitches. She had a 64-percent strike percentage.
She worked her way out of a no-out, two-baserunner jam in the fifth and a one-out, two-runner jam in the sixth when the Longhorns threatened to overtake the Demons� 4-2 lead.
�I was just trying to stay positive,� Vidunas said. �I just had to think that I�m going to strike the next person out, and that we�re going to get out of it.�
In the sixth, she struck out two in a row to end the inning after getting some help from the field in the fifth.
�It fuels her tank,� DHS head coach John Bernazzani said of the team effort. �It was a concerted effort.�
In the bottom of the sixth, Vidunas and Lashway hit successive singles to reach with no outs. Sill again sent them home when she blasted her triple, which dropped inches from the center-field fence.
�She threw it right down the middle of the plate, and it was pretty slow so I had time to think about it,� Sill said.
Corbin then scored Sill with an RBI single for the final run of the game and a five-run lead.
�I like to call it a cushion,� Bernazzani said. �That if we need to, we can fall back on it and not get hurt.�
The Demons didn�t need a soft landing, though, as the defense wrapped up a strong overall performance, retiring the side in order to end the game.
The outfield in particular made nice catches on fly balls and line drives throughout, and Bernazzani said his fielders caught everything they should have and made at least a couple of more difficult plays.
�I think we did well in the field,� said Sill, daughter of Chris and Monica Sill. �We stopped a lot of balls and didn�t have that many errors.�
Just two on the day, in fact.
�I think that was the best defense we�ve played all season,� said Vidunas, daughter of Denise and Joe Vidunas.
The Demons� two-run first inning gave them a one-run lead after the Longhorns scored on a single from Jordan DeCrow.
The Demons added two more in the third, one unearned and one RBI from Augusta Brockus, before Basalt pulled within two in the fourth.
Durango did strand runners on base in five of their six innings at bat, and Vidunas said stringing together hits instead of getting them in isolation will be important going forward.
�We got good hits, just not together,� she said.
Still, Bernazzani said he was happy with both the play and the result in a must-win game for the Demons, whom at 4-9 are looking to battle into playoff contention with just six games left in the season.
�Always more fun to be in a close game,� Bernazzani said. �We practice hard and come out and play for games like this.�
Durango will host Montezuma-Cortez at 4 p.m. Friday.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
Evaluate effects of channel catfish strains and individual females within strains on performance traits of channel catfish x blue catfish hybrid and purebred channel catfish offspring.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
Channel catfish female x blue catfish male hybrids and purebred channel catfish will be produced at 4 commercial hatcheries using the channel catfish strains unique to each hatchery. A common pool of blue catfish sperm will be provided by USDA, ARS, Catfish Genetics Research Unit and used to produce hybrids at each hatchery. Data on growth, processing yield, and survival will be collected and analyzed from both hybrid and purebred channel catfish offspring. Data reported to each participating hatchery will include:.1)trait means for hybrid offspring produced from the strain unique to their hatchery relative to the overall mean of all strains;.2)trait means for purebred channel catfish offspring produced from the strain unique to their hatchery relative to the overall mean of all strains;.3)variation associated with hatchery and individual female within hatchery for performance of each trait for hybrid and channel catfish offspring; and.4)the correlation between hybrid and purebred channel catfish offspring performance for each trait. Hatchery owners will not receive data for performance of individual strains from other hatcheries, only the overall mean performance for all hatcheries.

Deadline Hollywood reported Friday that the release of the Steve Jobs biopic "Jobs," starring Ashton Kutcher, has quietly been postponed, with no new date in sight.
For those keeping score at home, that's not a good sign.
Deadline Hollywood, however, reported that producers say the delay is aimed at affording more time to market the film (and not because it flat-out stinks).
The film, originally slated for release April 19, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
DE VITO, PERLMAN REUNITED (AND IT FEELS SO GOOD): Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman have apparently called off their divorce.
She couldn't get Ted Danson to leave his wife, huh?
Perlman gave DeVito the boot six months ago and he's reportedly been working hard to get her back ever since. RadarOnline reported the 68-year-old actor couldn't live without his "soulmate," and in the months since their split he's done everything possible to make the 64-year-old actress happy.
"Danny has been moving heaven and earth to win Rhea back -- and it has worked," a source supposedly close to the couple told the website.
The source claims that DeVito took measures to make sure Perlman "felt special again."
Ahh ... jewelry. Good work.
"It was a necessity, Danny kind of took Rhea for granted for a few years and their marriage went stale because of that," explained RadarOnline's source. "They rarely did anything together and he was distracted with filming "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which meant their marriage took a hit."
DeVito told "Extra" in December that the two were still close. "Actually, still together, just separate, but together," he said.
The two were married on Jan. 28, 1982, and have three adult children together.
MATT LAUER COULD REPLACE ALEX TREBEK: Matt Lauer may have found himself a new job, if reports are true that he's on his way out at the "Today" show.
The New York Post reported that Lauer is at the top of the list to replace Alex Trebek as host of "Jeopardy!" when Alex Trebek steps down in 2016.
Lauer is reportedly being at least partially blamed for "Today" falling to No. 2 in the ratings during its time slot, after 16 years on top.
The Post reported this week that Lauer is not expected to re-sign with "Today" when his $25-million-a-year deal expires in 2015.
Wow -- some of us turned down the wrong hallway at journalism school.
Trebek, 72, who suffered his second heart attack last summer., said in he was thinking about retiring this season. But Sony convinced him to sign one final, three-year contract -- taking him to age 76 -- to give producers enough time to find a next-generation successor.
I guess Will Ferrell was busy.
The Post said Sony is also strongly considering Anderson Cooper -- whose contract with CNN reportedly ends next year -- for Trebek's job.
Until recently, Sony reportedly was ready to try convincing Lauer to do double duty on the game show and the morning show. But that might not be such an issue anymore.
One source told the Post that Cooper -- who hosted a competitive reality show on ABC called "The Mole" before his CNN days -- likes the idea of hosting "Jeopardy."
Of course, final decisions on all these moves are at least a year-and-a-half away, and a lot can happen before then.
In other words, Will Ferrell still has a shot.
TAYLOR SWIFT DOES NOT LIKE TO BE CALLED BORING: Taylor Swift dumped Harry Styles because he called her "(expletive) boring."
Yep. That would probably do it.
According to Us Weekly, sources said Swift, 23, decided to put an abrupt end to their vacation in the British Virgin Islands after Styles, 19, called her boring. Sources said the couple was constantly fighting and on one occasion, Styles left Swift alone on a yacht.
When he returned, he said "I went to get drinks without you because you're so (expletive) boring."
Please Harry -- don't be so vague.
Styles' comment reportedly caused Swift to storm off, and they were done after that. The nastiness apparently went both ways, though, as Swift earlier reportedly told him, "You're lucky to even be with me," while complaining he wasn't spending enough time with her.
The couple actually dated earlier last year before Styles realized there were hundreds of thousands of girls who wanted to tear his clothes off and, at that point, cheated on Swift, reports say. Despite that, they gave it another try last fall, only to have the relationship end after a big fight.
DANIEL CRAIG LOSES IT IN SUPERMARKET: Daniel Craig nearly went James Bond on a man in a New York supermarket who tried taking a photo of Craig and his wife Rachel Weisz.
The fan reportedly took out his phone to take either a photo or a video of the couple when Craig yelled, "Is watching me food shopping with my wife really all that interesting to you?" and grabbed the phone out of the fan's hand, reports Daily Star.
Then he pulled out his pistol with silencer, shot the man in each knee, quickly shook himself a martini and escaped via rope ladder attached to a waiting helicopter.
Well ... it could've happen that way.
In reality, Weisz stepped in to calm her husband down.
"Daniel was really angry, and it looked at one point like he might even destroy the phone," a source told Daily Star. "But Rachel was much more calm, and quickly stepped in to give the guy a stern but polite lecture on privacy. She really defused the situation, which could have got out of hand."
"All right, then, luv," Craig said, turning to the man. "You win ... this time, mate. Cheerio. Now off with you ... until we meet again."
OK, that didn't happen either.
Craig returned the phone to its owner but asked him to delete whatever photo of theirs he captured on there. The fan reportedly agreed, and apologized.
According to the Huffington Post, in an interview with British GQ in 2012 Craig said his privacy is important.
"I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel," Craig said, months after he married Weisz with only four other people in attendance. "It's not about being afraid to be public with your emotions or about who you are and what you stand for. But if you sell it off it's gone. You can't buy it back -- you can't buy your privacy back."
LINDSAY LOHAN ANGRY WITH JUSTIN BIEBER: Justin Bieber won't be on Lindsay Lohan's Christmas card list anytime soon.
Sources close to Lohan supposedly told TMZ, she was "appalled" when she read what Bieber wrote about her earlier this week in his Instagram rant, during which he said, "... to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements ;)"
Bieber quickly deleted the insult and later apologized, but Lohan is telling friends it's too little, too late and karma will get him.
I guess, in this case, karma is a washed-up actress driving recklessly in a Porsche.
TMZ said Lohan feels Bieber's comments were "senseless and mean." Since she never had a problem with him, she has no idea why he chose to single her out, bullying her on an international platform.
It's kind of hard to see a 105-pound teen boy as a bully, but we'll go with it.

Houma restaurant owners expand their New Orleans offerings
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 10:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 10:23 p.m.
The owners of Houma's Cristiano Restorante are now the owners of Dick and Jenny's in New Orleans.
Business partners Cristiano Raffignone and Kelly Barker took control of the Uptown restaurant on Tchoupitoulas Street at the end of May.
The two also own Martinique Bistro on Magazine Street in Uptown New Orleans.
The duo said they were in the market for a place to bring the Italian cuisine of Cristiano Restorante to Uptown New Orleans after the success of "pop-ups" they have been doing at Martinique since January.
These events took place on Monday nights when Magazine Street's Martinique Bistro was typically closed and gave uptown diners the chance to dine from Cristiano's menu.
"The customers in the neighborhood are coming in and having our Cristiano's food, and they are in love with it," Barker said. "We want Cristiano's to have a stable place everyday."
Barker said they two want to keep the "casual" vibe and "New Orleans soul food" taste, but customers will also have a choice.
"You do not want to change a place that has been successful for 14 years," Ruffignone said. "We want to keep with Dick and Jenny's, and we think we can bring it to a different level with our Italian influence."
Raffignone explained that the Dick and Jenny's vibe will remain, but customers will be able to choose from two menus: one featuring the classic Dick and Jenny's fare, the other will be a scaled back offering of Cristiano Restorante's Italian cuisine.
"It will be a smaller menu but the same concept from Houma inside New Orleans," Raffignone said.
Raffignone said the new setup will be instituted in mid-July.
"Dick and Jenny's has been known as an eclectic style restaurant," Barker said. "It definitely lends itself to creating this new concept of bringing our northern Italian cuisine under the same roof as the Dick and Jenny's soul food."
The duo have owned Cristiano Restorante, 724 High St., for 13 years and Martinique Bistro, 5908 Magazine St., for 10 years.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - Truman State and Western Missouri tipped off MIAA play last night at the MWSU Fieldhouse, and the Bulldogs made the trip worthwhile, coming home with a 71-69 victory.
The Griffins held a six point lead mid-way through the second half, when the Western bench was whistled for a technical foul. Playing in his first game of the season, Tom Norton stepped to the line and drilled the two free throws, and on the ensuing possession Norton drained a 23-foot three-pointer cutting the lead to a single point.
Mike Carlson who led all scorers with 19 points, took over the game for a stretch in the second half scoring 11 of 12 Bulldog points.
With the 'Dogs up 68-66, Issac Gardner hit two free throws to increase the Truman lead. Western turned the ball over on the ensuing inbounds play, sealing the Truman State win. The Griffins committed 15 turnovers to help fuel the comeback effort for the Bulldogs.
Carlson added nine boards and three assists to his 19 points, and Gardner and Norton combined for 23 points off the Truman bench.
The win improves the Bulldogs record to 3-3, and marks the first time in six years that they start the MIAA season 1-0.
Missouri Southern makes the trip to Pershing Arena for a Saturday matinee at 3:00 p.m. The Lions will come into play with a 5-3 record and it will also be the conference opener for MSU.
Women's basketball
Missouri Western 71, Truman State 64: ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - In a scheduling quirk the Lady Griffins and Lady Bulldogs met for the second time in two weeks. This time it was the conference opener for both squads, and Western extracted a small measure of revenge handing the Bulldogs their first loss of the season, winning 71-64.
The Lady Griffins used an 11-0 first-half run to take the lead into halftime, a lead they would never give back. Foul trouble hampered the Lady 'Dogs leading scorer Becka McHenry as she was limited to only nine minutes in the first half and was held scoreless.
Jennifer Conway led Truman with 14 points and 10 boards and Amy Briggs added 13, but free throw troubles cost the Lady Bulldogs as they went 12 of 20 from the line.
The loss drops Truman's record to 5-1 and 0-1 in MIAA play, with the victory Western improves to 8-1 and 1-0, with the only loss being to TSU.
Truman State returns home for a Saturday afternoon game against the Missouri Southern Lions. Tip-off is at 1:00 p.m. at Pershing Arena.

Hi there thanks for making this great peice of software.
I just have one issue, I have an LG 2013 tv 1080P.
when I stream media using upnp to the tv using wifi, some videos get black bars due to their resolution. my tv only allows full/original option in this particular screen. I want to stretch the image so it fills the entire tv.
after some pot luck, i managed to achieve this using
:: -vf scale=1920:1080,dsize=1920:1080
in the extra commands popup window.
then some videos that had black bars now dissapeared.
problem is some videos still show black bars, ive also tried to force resolution by ticking the checkbox and manually inputting the resolution, it doesn't work.
is there anything I can do except recoding video files in HD resolution?

Almost 90 percent of the children in the club are on a free or reduced lunch program, and food is a concern during their extended break from school. Because of this, Lake Pointe Landing has made raising money for the club its Lake Pointe Landing Employee/Resident Holiday Project.
The goal is to send each family from the club home with a bag of food for the winter holiday break. The club estimates this to be about 125 families. With fundraising and financial contributions from Lake Pointe Landing staff and residents, club officials hope to be able to bulk purchase the food to pack each family an identical food bag.
On Nov. 2, Lake Pointe Landing hosted a chili lunch in the Bistro. The residents, staff and public raised $1,200 through donations to support the holiday gift program.
12 receive funds from Arts Council
The Arts Council of Henderson County has awarded $12,652 in grassroots funding to 12 local organizations. The North Carolina Arts Council Grassroots Arts Program is designed to provide a program or operating support for nonprofit organizations whose purpose is to promote and develop diverse cultural arts programming.
A community panel evaluated 13 applications based on artistic quality, community impact, ability to plan and implement the project, and stability and fiscal responsibility of the organization. Grants were awarded in varying amounts from $500 to $2,052.
The Arts Council serves as the North Carolina Arts Council's Designated County Partner in awarding these sub-grants to local organizations for arts programs in Henderson County. The grants are designed to provide support for quality arts programs that reach and impact a broad cross-section of the county's citizens and youth.
"We are pleased to have two new arts organizations who will be receiving grassroots funding for the first time this year," said Patty Smyers, managing director of the Arts Council. "They are the So Dance Company of the Southside Dance Studio in Fletcher, and the new nonprofit, Storytelling Education & Arts Programs Inc."
Other recipients include: Blue Ridge Community College Community Enrichment Department; Carolina Concert Choir; Center for Craft, Creativity and Design; Flat Rock Middle School; Friends of Carl Sandburg at Connemara; Hendersonville Chamber Music; Hendersonville Children's Choir; Hendersonville Chorale; Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra; and the Latino Advocacy Coalition.
For more information about the Grassroots Arts Program, contact the Arts Council of Henderson County at 828-693-8504 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Visit the council online at acofhc.org.

ONALASKA, Wis (WEAU)- An area hospital says it's now the nation's first known medical campus that's fully-powered by methane gas from a landfill.
The project was 3-years in the making, and it now gives the Gundersen Lutheran-Onalaska Campus even more renewable energy than it needs.
And the whole project cost just over 3 million dollars.
Methane gas is usually burned at a landfill. It's not good for the environment, and is a waste of the product.
Now, Gundersen Lutheran is teaming up with La Crosse County to put the methane to better use.
"We were flaring this gas, which is standard. We're now collecting that gas and instead of burning and wasting that energy it's being combusted in the engine," said Director of the La Crosse County Waste System, Henry Koch.
The generator converts the gas into energy, then it puts the energy back into the power grid. The clinic uses it, and so do nearby businesses.
"We put power to the grid because we can't use all of the electricity on this campus. We make more than we can use," said Executive Director of Envision, Jeff Rich.
"The generator is making about 150 thousand BTU's per minute. That's a tremendous amount of energy that's coming out of this system," said Koch.
The generator isn't the only thing that's green. Heat is also being captured from the generator and piped to the clinic.
"All this helps us save the cost for patients in the long run, and helps us control the cost of health care," said Rich.
There's about 1.5 miles of pipeline that connects the landfill to the generator. The pipeline goes under the interstate and is on the outskirts of the city. It was inspected earlier this year and passed with flying colors said Koch.
This is all part of Gundersen's Envision program; and with it
Gundersen has become an energy efficient model for other businesses and hospitals all around the nation.
Envisions goal is to have all of Gundersen Lutheran 100% energy independent by 2014.

6 Surprising Ways to Flirt
According to The Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, the smell of pumpkin pie was found to be the most arousing scent to men. To get him where you want him, pronto, light calabaza candles, or consider whipping up pumpkin empanadas or pancakes—just add canned pumpkin and cinnamon to your batter. Make them in a cute apron and nothing else, and serve in bed.
Rojo is a color we Latinas own, and studies show men prefer this sexy shade to anything else. Have fun with the vast variety of colors to choose from! We love Essie's Fifth Avenue (pictured; $7.75, walmart.com), a creamy orange red, for summer, and CoverGirl's Blast Flipstick Lipstick in Cheeky ($6.39, drugstore.com).

You can't just get your fill in one night," said Sandy Greenhut, organizer of Fall for the Arts, a Summit County-wide celebration of music, visual arts, theater, history, dance and more taking place Sept. 7-9.
Now in its second year, Fall for the Arts offers a full slate of cultural activities coordinated to have as little schedule overlap as possible.
Recent additions include a 1:30 p.m. talk on signature quilts by Judy Keim on Friday, Sept. 7 in Breckenridge, which now kicks off the entire celebration. Three Rivers Piano Club will present a 4 p.m. Saturday recital at the Dillon Community Church and the Keystone Gallery will offer a painting workshop running 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. At the Mountain Top Children's Museum in Breck, kids can take part in a free frame craft activity with paid admission on Saturday, Sept. 8.
Festivalgoers can find a schedule of events in the Summit Daily on Sept. 7-9 or visit www.artsforthesummit.org for a preview. Choices run the gamut from classical to popular music, book and history talks, theater workshops and productions, art openings and classes, free museum visits and tours to kids' activities. Events take place in Dillon, Silverthorne, Frisco, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin.
At Warren Station in Keystone, student musicians from Scale the Summit music camp will perform "Pirates of the Caribbean" with Summit Community Orchestra members as part of a collaborative 7 p.m. show on Friday, Sept. 7. They are joined by COmotion Dancers and the Summit Choral Society, with the latter performing Broadway selections and a medley from "Chicken Little."
The Summit Historical Society's $20 historical boat tour on Dillon Reservoir, scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, is not yet sold out, so act soon if you want to go on that one. Call the Dillon Marina to sign up: (970) 468-5100.
"When creative activity is happening in an area it creates a surprising ripple effect of benefits for the entire community hosting the arts events," said Mari Geasair, new director of development for the Lake Dillon Theatre Company, which will host a free panel discussion on the process of creating live professional theater by designers, directors and actors at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8 in honor of Fall for the Arts. The theater's new production, "Marry Me A Little," will run that weekend too.
"The arts can bring greater economic vitality into an area and help members of the community to interact with each other about ideas and experiences in fresh ways, encouraging vibrancy and energy throughout the community," Geasair said.
As for Greenhut, this year you can find her with her feet planted firmly on the ground (as opposed to cycling) at the fence by the Moose Jaw on Saturday, Sept. 8, where she will help guide volunteers in rendering Candice VanRunkle's mural, "The River of Life," in paint. Supplies are provided and the project is through the Summit County Arts Exhibit Committee, which Greenhut chairs.
"Fall for the Arts is showcasing ... everything that Summit County has to offer," Greenhut said. "That's why people should stay over."
Lodging and dining specials sweeten the deal. Call Sandy at (970) 468-7557 for details.
