Maine lobster fishery certified as sustainable
Announcment made Sunday
An international organization that certifies fisheries as being sustainably run has given its seal of approval to the Maine lobster fishery.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage announced Sunday that the London-based Marine Stewardship Council has designated the fishery as meeting its standards for responsible fishing practices. The announcement was made at the annual International Boston Seafood Show.
Shucks Maine Lobster President John Hathaway said the designation allows the industry to market itself as sustainably run and differentiate itself from the Canadian lobster fishery. Fisheries that make the cut can use the MSC's ecolabel, a seal that assures consumers that the seafood was not overfished or harvested in a way that harms the ocean.
The Marine Stewardship Council has certified nearly 200 fisheries.

The NFL draft is both silly and beautiful. It is silly because of what happened Friday night in the third round when the 49ers drafted an outside linebacker named Corey Lemonier from Auburn.
On an ensuing conference call with reporters, Lemonier said he was thrilled to be drafted by the team and get a phone call from "John Harbaugh."
How's that? A reporter informed Lemonier that the 49ers are coached by Jim Harbaugh -- not John Harbaugh, who is with the Baltimore Ravens.
"Oh, my goodness, I'm so sorry," said Lemonier. "I can't even think right now. I'm so sorry."
Don't apologize, young man. There are 32 coaches in the NFL. It's easy to get them mixed up. The most important thing now is for Lemonier is for him to start learning about the 49er traditions established by their legendary coach, Joe Walsh.
Never mind. The beautiful part of the NFL draft is, for all of the blather and smoke, the event is a truth serum of sorts. Teams can lie and mislead all they want before the draft. But when it comes time to pick, they tell you what they really believe they need. And you can learn a lot.
Here is what we learned Friday:

"They're screwing with the wrong people."
And with those words from Rick Grimes, Season 4 of "The Walking Dead" came to a gasp-inducing end. The finale, titled, "A," found our intrepid band of survivors with their backs against the wall once again -- this time in a dark and gloomy railway boxcar.
And, in the process we discovered that -- as we suspected -- Terminus isn't exactly the happiest place on Earth.
Rick, Carl, Michonne and Daryl wound up imprisoned in that boxcar after being outmanned in a gunbattle with Terminus residents, including the apparent leader of the bunch, a dude named Gareth. Once in the boxcar, they were stunned to find Glenn, Maggie, Tara, Abraham and the others also holed up there like trapped mice.
How are they going to get out of this one?
Rick and his bunch arrived at Terminus after a vicious, near-death battle with Joe and his henchmen (More on that later). And they didn't come with blinders on. Earlier, Michonne expressed skepticism about the place ("I wonder if the whole thing's legit"). And Rick had the foursome sneak into the train station from the back door, so to speak.
After meeting the mild-mannered Gareth and some of his cohorts, things seemed to be going OK. Maybe this place would be peaceful and very Mayberry-like after all.
But then Rick spotted a guy named Alex wearing a pocket watch that belonged to Glenn (We learned through a flashback that Hershel had given Glenn the watch). Rick put the dude in a choke hold and demanded to know where he got the watch. That led to the wild shootout, during which our survivors found themselves running past frail cars from which people were crying out for help, and a pile of skeletons that appeared to have been freshly skinned. After that, they entered a room full of candles with these words painted on the wall:
"Never again. Never trust. We first, always."
OK, what exactly is this creepy "sanctuary"?
The whole episode was interlaced with flashbacks to the happy pre-infection, pre-battle prison days (Hershel! A sight for sore eyes), during which Rick was morphing into gentle Farmer John mode and trying to get Carl's mind off his gun. The scenes conjured up bittersweet memories of what the prison could have been had the Governor not invaded.
"It can be like this all the time," sweet-natured Hershel tells Rick.
Well, of course it wasn't. The world got even more brutal and Rick was forced to revert to lethal, ruthless kick-ass Sheriff Rick mode. Along the way, he choked out Joe's friend in the house, chomped the heck out of Joe's jugular and got very, very stabby with a chubby guy who was doing bad things to Carl.
Rick is now, more than ever, a stone-cold killer.
And that's why, even though the odds for now seem to be overwhelmingly against him and his band mates, Rick's face seemed to flash a slight smile in that boxcar. He knows what they've all been through. He knows his comrades are survivors and hardened warriors.
And he knows Gareth is in for one heck of a battle.
Some random thoughts and observances:
-- The bloody fight with Joe's men, as you would expect, was crazy intense. Rick in absolute beast mode. ... His son looking on with horror in his eyes. Yes, Carl, that's how we felt.
-- The fight was followed with a very nice and tender moment: Rick telling Daryl, "You're my brother."
-- We finally learned who Michonne's "pets" were. Her boyfriend Mike (Andre's father) and his friend Terry. Turns out they were all members of a refugee camp at one time. One day, Michonne went for a run and came back to find the place was ravaged by walkers. Her son and friends were dead, and Mike and Terry were high when it happened.
Michonne chained them up and dragged them around as a constant reminder of what went horribly wrong. "I was just another monster," she tells Carl.
-- The episode and cliffhanger failed to fill us in on everything. We don't know the exact whereabouts of Carol, Tyreese and Judith, and we still have no idea who abducted Beth.
-- And, sadly, the season ends with Rick and Carl still believing that Judith is dead.
-- Let's welcome Andrew J. West ("Greek") to the show. He's playing Gareth.
So what did you think of the season finale, and the season overall? We're you pleased that it didn't end with the death of another major character? Can you hardly wait until October? And if you haven't read the comic books, what's your guess as to what's going down in Terminus?

SAN JOSE -- At the prosecution's request Tuesday, all the jurors, family members and spectators in a Hall of Justice courtroom peered up at the clock, for just one minute. But 60 seconds seemed to take forever to tick by -- bolstering the District Attorney's argument that former firefighter Ralph Baldenegro had more than enough time to appreciate what he was doing in 1991 when he allegedly gripped accountant Julie Bucalo's throat and squeezed for several minutes while she lay helpless in handcuffs.
"He had time to make a choice," prosecutor Dan Fehderau argued, telling jurors Baldenegro "held Julie's life in his hands."
"He chose death."
The dramatic argument came on the last day of Baldenegro's 31/2 month trial. But as unusually protracted as the trial was, it was nothing compared to the 22 years it took for Baldenegro to be charged in the Nov. 9, 1991, killing.
Baldenegro, now 64 and already serving a long sentence for attacking a girlfriend and her teenaged daughter in 2006, is charged with special-circumstances murder, attempted rape and burglary. Prosecutors said his DNA was found a few years ago on Bucalo's hand and the shirt she was wearing the day someone broke into her South Meridian Avenue cottage, handcuffed her and tried to rape her before strangling her. He has pleaded not guilty and faces life without parole if the seven women and five men on the jury accept Fehderau's argument that he committed first-degree murder.
The attractive 26-year-old accountant and 42-year-old Baldenegro both worked at Price Waterhouse, but were just acquaintances. Baldenegro had left the Santa Clara Fire Department in disgrace a few years earlier after he was convicted of assaulting an ex-girlfriend and fired.
In a calm yet outraged voice, Fehderau said that in addition to the DNA evidence, Baldenegro had a history both before and after Bucalo's death of assaults against women that involved handcuffs or duct tape, a knife, suffocation and choking.
Baldenegro is now serving 94 years to life in prison for attacking a girlfriend and her 14-year-old daughter in Fremont in 2006 after slipping into her home and hiding behind the front door. When his girlfriend's 14-year-old daughter arrived home, Baldenegro pointed a gun at her and told her, "This isn't your lucky day." Then he bound her with duct tape, blindfolded her and sexually molested her. Two hours later, he severely beat his girlfriend, handcuffed her and threatened to kill her.
Prosecutors have said they charged him with Bucalo's slaying anyway to bring justice to her relatives and to make sure he stays locked up in the event a higher court overturns his conviction.
But Baldenegro's attorney, Chris Givens, has said the prosecution is a waste of judicial resources given the unlikelihood of his client ever being retried in the Fremont case.
In an impassioned closing statement, Givens contested the notion that Baldenegro had exhibited a pattern in his attacks, saying some of the women exaggerated his client's behavior and some of the attacks were never charged as crimes. He also said there was no pattern because Baldenegro was intimately involved with the other women for years in tumultuous relationships, while he hardly knew Bucalo.
Givens noted that Bucalo's then-boyfriend was a longtime suspect and suggested there was still reason to believe he may have killed her in a rage. He said the chief investigator in the case made up his mind that Baldenegro did it and then "persecuted" his client, and called the DNA evidence "ridiculous." Baldenegro testified it was inadvertently transferred to Bucalo via a jacket worn by his then-girlfriend, who hugged Bucalo. Fehderau strongly disputed the claim, noting that the girlfriend can't testify because she is "conveniently dead."

High chairs aren't just for giving baby a quick meal anymore. The right high chair can help babies join in family mealtimes from the time they are infants until they are ready to pull a chair up to the table with the rest of the big people. Mealtime is an important part of socialization, and there are high chairs to see your child through every stage of eating.
Any high chair worth considering will do two things well: keep your baby safe and comfortable, and be easy to clean and maintain. Given that the high chair will be a kitchen and/or dining room fixture for the next two to five years, parents should consider function and design as they would when buying any other piece of furniture. They should also consider whether future family additions might use the chair.
Basic high chairs have a metal frame buffered by plastic molding, seat and tray. Brands and models are distinguished mainly by features such as recline options, height adjustability, removable trays and tray inserts, seat cushioning, wheels, foldability and even built-in toys. Space-saving high chairs have either a highly compact fold or sit directly on a chair so they don't take up any floor space, then fold away for storage.
Wooden high chairs are a classic choice, but they're not as widely available as they used to be. Some of the most popular models of the past have been discontinued because they are not as easy to clean or as versatile as today's modern high chairs. Many of today's wooden high chairs are made from high-end materials and are more expensive than basic high chairs, but they also last for years.
Convertible high chairs are a step up from traditional models. These high chairs are designed to evolve with baby through various feeding stages, converting from infant high chair to toddler seat and in some cases to an adult seat. Portable high chairs attach directly to the table. They're a great choice for travel, or if you just don't have much space for even a space-saver high chair.
Any high chair you purchase should be very easy to use, even if you have to operate it with one hand while holding a squirming baby in the other. Ease of cleaning should be another top priority. Many parents fall in love with the aesthetics of a gorgeous high chair only to have that love turn to loathing when they find it's a nightmare of cracks and crevices that trap food.
A good high chair must be safe and sturdy. Features that distinguish the safest high chairs include stable bases to prevent tipping; five-point safety harness systems that restrain at the shoulders, around the waist and through the legs; a passive-restraint T-bar or post that keeps the baby from slipping out of the chair; and lockable wheels when applicable. But remember: A restraint system only works if you use it. Always use harnesses and other restraints when children are in the chair. Be sure all parts of the chair are fully locked and the chair is away from any objects that a child could pull over or push against.
ConsumerSearch.com has evaluated current reviews of high chairs by both experts and consumers to determine the best high chairs based on their overall safety, ease of use, lifestyle features and benefits, as well as brand quality.

Some NC lawmakers want to revise school calendar
Published: Friday, February 21, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 6:30 p.m.
CHARLOTTE (AP) — Some North Carolina lawmakers hope this year's winter storms will spark new discussion on the law on when schools can start and must end.
Rep. Tricia Cotham, D-Mecklenburg, said the state should leave it up to local school districts to decide when to start and end classes, The Charlotte Observer reported.
"I think it's going to get some more traction coming up because so many people are impacted by this storm," Cotham said.
The current law requires that schools start no earlier than the Monday closest to August 26 and end no later than the Friday closest to June 11. The law was endorsed by the tourism industry and some parents, who said early-August openings eroded vacation time.
Some school officials say they would like to start classes earlier to allow students take first-semester exams before winter break. That would also provide more flexibility to deal with snow makeup days, they say.
But some lawmakers say it's unlikely that the law will be changed because this year's legislative session is a short one.
"I don't think there's an appetite for changing the start and finish dates," said Rep. Ruth Samuelson, a Republican.

Spring isn't usually the time of year that one associates with fairs, but the community of Barlow is hoping to change that perception.
The very first Spring Fair is planned for this weekend at the Barlow Fairgrounds, at the intersection of State Routes 550 and 339.
"The Spring Fair is to celebrate the community and the kids," said fair board member and event coordinator Denise Tessum.
"Also, we need to generate additional revenue - we are doing one fair a year and we are just breaking even."
The board agreed to the event in January and members of the fair community and the Barlow community as a whole have come together the make the idea a reality, according to Tessum.
The Spring Fair will kick off the season leading up to the Barlow Fair in September and Christmas in the Village around the holidays.

The event is open to everyone and will include a little something for all to enjoy.
Anyone who enjoys quilting or just appreciates the artistry that goes into quilting will have a lot to take in at the Spring Fair.
"This is a first for me but I thought it (the Spring Fair) sounded like a good idea and will hopefully bring in money to help with other events," said Jan Seaman, a Barlow resident who is organizing a quilt show to run throughout the day both Saturday and Sunday. "I think we will have about three vendors but we don't know yet how many quilts will be displayed."
Seaman said there will be quite a few antique quilts on display and some tools, fabric and accessories for sale. Susan D. Pierce "Miss Susie Quilts" of Louisville, Ohio, will give a presentation and trunk show at 1 p.m., where she will talk about quilts based on family history, Civil War events and historic sites.
"She has done this for a couple of quilt groups and everybody really likes her presentation and miniature quilts," said Seaman.
Of course if quilting is not your thing but railroads are, there will be a presentation for those folks as well.
Eldon Young, a member of the Ohio and Little Kanawha Division of the Collis P. Huntington Railroad Society, will give a presentation on the old Marietta and Cincinnati Railway, which at one time ran through Vincent.
"You can still see parts of the old trestles," said Tessum.
The historic train presentation will be in the 4-H building at noon, 2 and 4 p.m. on Saturday and 2 and 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Traditional fair food and some specialty foods will be available as well as: 50 vendors; farm and farm animal displays; entertainment from community members, Bad Credit, playing blues, classic rock and a little country music, and Warren High School; activities for children; a tractor show, tractor pull and tractor rodeo; and Baby Beautiful Contest.
The Soil and Water Conservation District will be bringing in a 1,000-gallon fishing tank and will teach safe archery. There will also be a kite workshop by New Era Kite Club and hay rides.

Just days after an investigation was launched into failed solar manufacturer Solyndra, a Department of Energy (DOE) loan guarantee recipient—the DOE announced a flurry of funding measures for new solar, offshore wind, and geothermal projects. The new projects will help achieve President Obama's goal of generating 80% of U.S. power from clean energy within the next 25 years, the DOE said. -A $1.2B Loan for a California CSP Project -A $150M Loan Guarantee for a Multicrystalline Solar Wafer Maker -A $90.5M Loan Guarantee for HCPV Facility in Colorado -DOE to Fund 41 Offshore Wind Energy Projects for Faster Deployment, $43 M -A $38M Award for Geothermal Projects Why weren't these projects funded as part of the first Stimulas Package?

Andrew Bogut's first game in Milwaukee as an opponent will come Tuesday with the Warriors center looking a lot like the dominant big man the Bucks drafted first overall in 2005.
The 7-footer from Australia doesn't have the offensive role he had in Milwaukee -- where he averaged in double figures in scoring six straight years -- but has turned into a perfect fit in Golden State.
"It's great to see him healthy and whole for the first time in a long time," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "He's been the anchor to our defense."
Bogut is averaging eight points, his scoring often coming early in the game before the Warriors' potent offensive weapons take over. He's grabbing 10.2 boards a game and provides great protection around the rim -- everything the Warriors hoped they'd get from Bogut once he was healthy after they traded Monta Ellis for him in March 2012.
That is the key. Bogut is healthy for first time since Golden State acquired him. He was recovering from a fractured left ankle at that time and never suited up for the Warriors that first season.
Bogut played only 32 games last season but flashed his potential in the playoffs as an impact defender. He's definitely played that way this season while participating in 35 of 36 games -- the lone game he missed was because of a suspension.
What kind of a reception is Bogut expecting when he plays in Milwaukee for the first time as a Warrior?
"A cold one. Freezing," Bogut joked, referencing the frigid temperatures that include a high of 5 degrees forecast for Tuesday.
But when he steps on the court, he's not sure what to expect.
"I still have a special place in my heart for Milwaukee," Bogut said. "I went through adolescence to late teenage years to growing into a man in Milwaukee, so it'll always have a special place in my heart. I believe I still have a lot of fans there. I have a lot of respect for the city.
"There will be a little bit of boo birds, a little bit of both. That's just the way it goes. I'm excited to go there and see people that I spent my first (seven) years of my career with."
Warriors forward David Lee has gone through the experience of returning to play in New York after five seasons with the Knicks that included an All-Star appearance. He thinks Bogut is well suited to handle the environment.
"He's a mature guy," Lee said of Bogut. "He's a guy that I think out of anybody on the team will probably be the best at not letting any of that stuff bother him. He's just going to go out and play and do his job, and he's a hard-hat type of guy."
Bogut wouldn't deny that he'll be fired up to get a win against his former team, owner of the NBA's worst record at 7-26.
"There's no doubt about it," he said. "I have respect for the franchise. I have respect for the people that I worked with there. I still have close friends in the franchise. Obviously there's been a changing of the guard there. They've moved on a lot with people that were there when I was there. But I still have the utmost respect for the franchise. They drafted me, they helped move my career."
Most important, Bogut wants to see the Warriors' nine-game winning streak continue. It's the longest streak he's been a part of, the longest by the Warriors in a single-season since 1975 and two shy of matching the franchise record.
"I definitely do want to get the win -- just like any other win," Bogut said. "I think within all this it's more important to get the win just to keep the streak going than it is to beat Milwaukee."

OAKLAND -- Deep inside of him somewhere there is a switch and Stephen Curry just flipped it to "NBA superhero" mode.
What can he accomplish now? Almost anything, it seems, because Curry has decided he must.
"He does things that amaze me," said Warriors eminence Alvin Attles, who has been a player, coach and executive with the team for 54 years.
"I was amazed by a guy named Wilt Chamberlain. But not too many others. And Curry does things that I'm surprised my head doesn't hurt because I sit up there and shake my head every time watching him."
That's your definition of superhero mode, right there, doing things that stagger the legends.
Another detail: In the last sprint of the season with the Warriors' playoff lives at stake, Curry didn't just take over games. You saw in his eyes that he knew it was his responsibility.
Now they're in the playoffs, facing the Los Angeles Clippers starting Saturday at Staples Center, and Curry is the Warriors' best chance to win this series and probably their only one.
At some point in almost every game, Curry will have to take over and he agrees that over the past few weeks he has come to accept and embrace this.
"Sometimes that makes the game a little simpler, for sure," Curry said Friday before the Warriors' practice.
"Because if you create something that's not there, that's when I get into trouble and that's when I turn the ball over and that kind of deal.
"Sometimes the shot is a better offense regardless of what play (coach Mark Jackson) calls or where I am on the floor."
It's a fascinating development to watch: Curry is anything but a typical swaggering Alpha sports personality.
It's not the way Curry was taught to play point guard -- he wants to share the ball, to trust his teammates, to lead with grace.
But with center Andrew Bogut sidelined indefinitely by injury and with the Warriors at times struggling to produce consistent offense, the team's fate is almost totally in Curry's hands now.
In Curry's final five regular-season games (he sat out the season finale), he averaged 32.8 points and 10.8 assists and shot 54.2 percent.
More importantly, he shot the ball or made the crucial pass precisely when his teammates and the opponents knew he had to.
"When you have the ball in your hands you have to do that," said Hall of Famer Rick Barry, who starred for Attles when the Warriors won their only title in 1975.
"That's what (Curry) needs to do. Like everybody who says, 'Oh, the guy made the extra pass.' I'm so sick of listening to 'the extra pass.' The extra pass is meaningless and stupid if you're making it to a guy who doesn't shoot as well as you do."
Steph Curry vs. the World is the best show in the NBA right now and, for as long as it lasts, it will be the talk of the playoffs.
You take Curry's torrid run in last season's playoffs, add in his spectacular last few weeks, and you have a player who is realizing he needs to shoot and shoot and shoot some more for the Warriors to win.
That's what his teammates tell him, too.
"They know I'll try to make the right decisions, not just me jacking up shots," Curry said.
"If I find I've got a good look or sometimes a suspect look but in rhythm, they're confident in me shooting the ball.
"Because in return I'm going to try to draw that attention and feed them so they can make plays."
Everything works off of him and, to make it work, Curry has to keep shooting, force defenses to swarm and panic, pass when the situation calls for it and generally carry the Warriors.
That's why Curry is a good candidate for the All-NBA first team, an honor the Warriors franchise hasn't garnered since Chris Mullin in 1991-92.
Friday, Curry won Western Conference player of the month for April. He won it previously in April of last year, right before his playoff explosion against Denver and San Antonio.
But Curry said he's most proud of being part of the revival of the franchise from the time he was drafted in 2009 to now, starting their second consecutive playoff run.
"The playoff thing is something that is more real than anything just because I was here when it was bad, have kind of seen the change in front of my eyes, and to be a part of that is something special," Curry said.
It's no exaggeration to say that even now, at 26 and finishing only his fifth NBA season, Curry -- the first Warrior to average 24 points and eight assists -- is already one of the best players in Warriors history.
If you put Chamberlain's unbelievable stint at the start of his career to the side, Barry has to be the king of Warriors Mountain.
But with another large playoff performance, Curry could be alongside Mullin and behind only Barry very soon.
"Certainly if he continues to play the way he's playing, yes, he's going to be one of the great players in the history of the franchise, no question," Barry said.
"He's already doing things hardly anybody has done before. Now it's a matter of sustaining it."
First comes this matchup against superstar Chris Paul and the Clippers, and for Curry that means it's on his shoulders, as it always is.
And as he has realized it should be.

The Clarkfield Area Community Foundation just finished handing out a big chunk of change to the Clarkfield community and are preparing to give out even more in the coming years, according to Foundation Chairmen Berdette Schoep.
"Yeah, this has been the biggest year yet and next year there will be twice as much available for grant giving," said Schoep from his office at Clarkfield Outdoors. "(The CACF) has been in business for three years now and have given out grants between $2,300-$3,000 each year. Currently, we have a total amount of $120,000 in the endowment... We should be close to giving $5,000 in grants next year."
The CACF is a permanent endowment organized as a community fund of the Southwest Initiative Foundation. In three years, it's become a vehicle for donors who wish to make charitable contributions for the benefit of the Clarkfield community and a resource for community leaders wishing to make a difference.
This year the CACF gave to a wide range of community projects: $895.33 went to the Clarkfield Area Charter School to help them in starting an after school program for students; $500 went to the Young Families of Clarkfield—led by Katie Zuraff—to help with a playground renovation at North Park; another $500 went to Pastor Mildred Rodriquez and the Ministerio El Samaritano Bueno for air conditioning in the church; and still another $500 was given to the city of Clarkfield itself for construction of a Frisbee Golf Course in North Park.
"The more people see money coming back into the community the more interest it generates and through that, even more money comes back to the community," said Schoep.
Though the Clarkfield community has begun to feel the impact of the foundations grant-giving, Schoep said the organization still needs to seek out applicants every year. "We always have to go out and ask. The word is getting out more and more, but we still have to continually work on the nature of the foundation," said Schoep.
Along with Foundation Chair Schoep, those tasked with shaping the nature of the Foundation include board members Bruce Christopherson, Larry Stensrud, Sue Fritz, Barb Bruflat, Brad Handeland, Neil Linscheid and Rod Bruflat.
Whether you want to create for your community, or give back to it the CACF is here to help. Either providing grants to community projects, or providing an inlet for people to directly impact their community through charitable giving.
Said Schoep, "We really just want to make sure that everyone is aware that there is a means to give back to the community that you call home. Charitable giving to an organization like (the CACF) is a statement. It's a statement that when you get to that point in life you want to build a better community... We've had a lot of support in this community. There's a lot of strong feelings here. People want to put their money where their heart is."

I got it from AppStore, where there also is a somewhat limited 8Player Lite.
It plays my .mp4-files directly from NAS (no software performing any transcoding), but through PMS 8Player says they are unplayable as it also does for my .mkv files.

Blackmagic Decklink SDI and Linux
Almost a year ago, I invested in a central London based post-production company. At the time, I had dreams of pushing open source software solutions into the professional post-production arena. Things haven't quite worked out as planned, and I've made very limited headway on this project. Business imperatives took over and changing a whole ecosystem is a big job. I've continued to use Linux on my laptop and happily connect to printers and network drives, but that's about all.
Recently I had an opportunity to change all that. We needed a tape digitisation solution, separate from our Avid editing suites, for a new project. I've know for a while that Blackmagic's Decklink range of cards work with Linux and were pretty good for capturing from SDI. We purchased the basic Decklink SDI card, re-cycled an old machine onto which I installed Linux Mint Debian and away we went….
Things weren't entirely smooth from the start. I upgraded the Mint Debian ISO, including the kernel to 2.6.39. This was my first mistake. The card was not recognised with this kernel. Booting into the original 2.6.32 kernel overcame this problem and the card was recognised. I had to download the relevant Linux software from the Blackmagic website, as the accompanying DVD only included Windows software. The available Linux software from Blackmagic included the relevant drivers, firmware and Media Express software. Unfortunately, other advertised items such as the drive speed test and alpha keying utilities are not available for Linux.
Once everything was up and running, it was time to capture. The Media Express 2.3.1 software was pretty straight forward to use. Setting in and out points allowed the software to control the J30 Digibeta deck and content was captured in Uncompressed 10-bit YUV formate. The other limited codec options included Uncompressed 8-bit YUV, RGB and MotionJPEG. This uncompressed file was then transcoded to IMX50 using FFMbc. The whole process seemed to work reasonably well, and I'm just now waiting to send the IMX50 sample off for technical inspection.
Unfortunately, the Media Express software as supplied did not provide options to change the SD captured frame size from 720×576 to anything else. Ideally I was looking for 720×608 so that VITC was also captured. A phone call to Blackmagic revealed that this was possible with the Windows and Mac version of their software, but not on Linux. Their Linux SDK did expose the necessary calls, but the software had not been written to include them. Essentially, if I wanted VITC, I'd need to write a capture utility myself. Somewhat disappointing.
Overall, I'm pleased that we now have an SDI capture solution running on Linux. However, the Blackmagic Decklink card still feels a little half baked and Linux was perhaps only an afterthought for them.
June 24, 2011 at 23:54
MLT and Kdenlive (as used by MLT) supports DeckLink. You can do keyer output from melt, MLT's command line utility (as well as viewing, capture, live encoding, etc.). At the moment, you can not capture 720×608, and I am not sure at the moment how to do that.
June 25, 2011 at 05:19
Thanks for the response Dan.
Blackmagic have told me on the phone that their SDK supports capture at 720×608 for retention of VITC.
There's a Linux SDK manual alongside this too.
I am not clever enough to implement something like this, but perhaps you can.
June 27, 2011 at 13:54
Hello; there is a commercial gstreamer plugin for Blackmagic Design products, you should check it out ! I tried it with Intensity Pro with success, don't know for the product you are using.
June 29, 2011 at 20:14
The Blackmagic cards won't let you capture the Vertical Blanking lines directly as a 720×608 image, you have to use the special SDK functions to extract each line one-by-one for that. We're using these cards to capture AFD and captions which are then encapsulated and passed into the MPEG-4 encoder.
The lower end cards which are PCI 1x only allow access to lines after the switching point. They don't mention that anywhere, which caused a bit of a headache until I contacted support.
Hopefully the new set of drivers coming out will support 2.6.39.
"I had dreams of pushing open source software solutions into the professional post-production arena"
I can't really speak for post-production but there's a growing list of well known names using encoding discs with x264 for Blu-Ray – see http://www.x264bluray.com/x264-encoded-releases
I'm of the opinion that Open Source has spent too long making "jack of all trades, master of none" tools like ffmpeg and vlc. It's going to be slightly more specialised tools like ffmbc which will be better for professional use.
September 25, 2011 at 04:03
Speaking of ffbmc, your readers might want to actually download a binary for this tool.

VAIL, Colorado - Vail Valley Medical Center's marketing team brought five awards home to Vail from the 2012 Gold Leaf Award ceremony on Oct. 18 in Denver. In their first year entering the competition, the team, consisting of director of marketing Michael Holton, communications and publications manager Lindsay Warner, online marketing manager Emily Tamberino, special events manager Christine Albertson, videographer/photographer Kevin Heinz and physician liaison Byron Morris, were "pleasantly surprised and gratified" by the recognition of their work over the last year.
"We are especially proud of the breadth of projects that were awarded, including our new printed annual report, Vail Health Magazine; a multimedia advertising campaign for Shaw Regional Cancer Center; and Pink Vail," Holton said. "These projects were designed to raise awareness and support for health and wellness in the Vail Valley. We're thrilled that they were recognized among such notable institutions as Children's Hospital, Kaiser Permanente and the Colorado Health Foundation."
More than 50 awards were given to healthcare communication and marketing professionals throughout Colorado. Categories included advertising, collateral, annual reports, media relations, new media and social media.
"I am very proud of our team for earning these well-deserved awards," said VVMC President and CEO Doris Kirchner. "They are passionate about serving this community through compelling, truthful communications, and these honors are a great measure of their success."
The Gold Leaf Awards are presented annually by Colorado Healthcare Communicators. CHC is the only Colorado organization that exclusively honors health care marketing strategies.

I have been using this software for a very long time and have been watching the forums for just as long. Great software but I have raved about it enough in other threads. I have been working to get either Channels or Jumpy working smoothly and have been paying close attention to logs, processes and other items that might help me out. I just noticed something that is very troubling .
It appears to me that even after closing the PMS application using the normal methods the java.exe process it spawns continues to run. After seeing this I immediately began searching these forums and found absolutely nothing. I found plenty on this forum about Java but not about it remaining open after closing PMS. I did however find an old posting from 2010 on a different forum that mentions this behavior and advises users to wait for the process to die or manually kill it before starting PMS again. Just for grins I am pasting a link to this post below:
I am definitely having problems with my current PMS install and have been starting and stopping it quite often. I am also certain that the Java process continues to run, I am using Process Monitor from SysInternals to monitor. So , is there a problem with the automated shutting down of java when PMS is closed or is there some other explanation for the behavior I am seeing?

1. Polyphasic sleep and Steve Pavlina
I'm glad Steve clarified that he's not doing it because he wants to squeeze extra hours out of each day, but because he wants to see if he can hack it. It's a good idea to keep your brain flexible. Step out of your comfort zone. My fun braintwisting thing was learning Dvorak, just for kicks. Who cared whether it made me faster or not? I just wanted to know if I could reprogram my muscular memory. ;) That was cool.
So get out there and stretch your brain!
2. Web Dos Beta - Spain's grassroots Web 2.0 conference
3. Presentations and getting naked
The blog post ends with a reflection on the public baths of Japan. I miss those, strangely...
4. planner: so addictive, even the vim people want it
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... =)
5. Joel on Software against tailoring software
No problem with that, but _I_ like tailoring software to an insane extent, and will happily code a one-off thing that will never be used again. That's because it's usually used again, and it makes people very happy. Good thing I don't need to worry about maximizing profit. =)
6. Midterms and mushrooms
To celebrate (or to console myself if the midterms had been worse), I decided to have mushroom soup today.
Mushroom soup is one of my age-old comfort foods. Whenever I was sick, either Auntie Nica or Yaya tore open a Knorr packet of instant cream of mushroom soup and prepared a deliciously unhealthy snack. It was bland enough to soothe an upset stomach and yet tasty enough to cheer me up, laden with sodium and other savory unsavories. I was five and I didn't care about sodium. Even when I was fifteen and making myself soup, I still didn't care. After all, mushroom soup was mushroom soup was mushroom soup. It was yummy.
One packet made five or six servings of mushroom soup, mind you, so mushroom soup was something I ended up either inflicting on other people or consuming all by myself. I always made it with less water than indicated, preferring a thick, creamy soup bordering on salty. Ah, mushroom soup.
So I decided to give mushroom soup a try. No Knorr packets around, so I had to figure out how to do it from scratch. I'd seen my sister prepare real mushroom soup before, but that was a major production--as my sister's cooking tends to be. She had bowls, blenders, and more kinds of mushrooms than I'd even seen. I couldn't even scrounge up enough milk or cream to follow the recipes I found on the Net.
I threw my hands up and decided to wing it. Here's how you can do that too.
- 1. Melt a chunk of butter in a pot.
- 2. Peel and chop garlic. Throw garlic in.
- 3. Chop mushrooms. Throw them in too.
- 4. Wait until mushrooms have had time to soak up buttery goodness.
- 5. Add water to barely cover mushrooms.
- 6. Remember that most recipes call for chicken stock. Shake a lot of instant chicken powder
into pot, stir.
- 7. Wonder what the flour in most recipes does. Throw a couple of pinches of that in, too.
- 8. Boil until you feel confident that things are mostly cooked, and the water kinda tastes like mushrooms.
- 9. Be pleasantly surprised that it tastes somewhat familiar.
See? That's why cooking is always so exciting. You never know what you're going to get. And yes, I _so_ need to learn a lot about technical writing...
I paired the mushroom soup with another impromptu dish: chicken nuggets salad. Lettuce, chicken nuggets (from the huge frozen bag I bought late August; nearly done!), and finely chopped tomatoes, onions, carrots, and green peppers, dressed with some barbecue sauce.
It turned out pretty well, even considering that this is Day 3 of having the tomato-onion-carrots-green-pepper thing. I made the mix for pitas and I've been using it all over the place, thrilled that I've finally found a way to sneak veggies into my diet.
I'm getting somewhere. My desperation food used to be scrambled eggs and rice. I didn't know how to cook an omelette; it always ended up getting scrambled. Now I can whip up something that looks reasonably familiar _and_ makes me happy I didn't go out to eat... =)
Whee! I _might_ just manage to finish the head of lettuce before it goes bad. On the other hand, though, I've resolved never to buy cheap bananas again. They ripen very quickly and all at the same time. You know what I _really_ need? A bunch of bananas whene one banana ripens per day. I think I'll stick to mandarins for my fruit choices, or try out some of the other stuff. What's good in November?
Ooh. Must figure out what to do with this cute little minipumpkin I bought...

I have many dvd's converted to mkv container. The video is h.264 advanced profile, audio is typically AC3 and sometimes DTS. Subtitles are vobsub and are included in the mkv container but also present in the folder as .idx/.sub pair for extra compatibility.
The video and audio plays perfectly on my PS3 (i have yet to try DTS). My problem is, I cannot get PMS to display the subtitles. In Matroska I had to disable Autoload vsfilter, since matroska apparently only supports .srt text files natively. I have tried enabling autoload vsfilter, but that does not make any difference.
I have tried installing DirectVobSub, but that prevents any playback of that file.
I now use ffdshow with subtitles enabled, and that plays perfectly inside mplayer and windows media player, complete with subtitles.
MEncoder plays audio and video perfectly, no subtitles
TsMuxer ditto
AviSynth/MEncoder says Invalid data, haven't figures this one yet.
AviSynth/FFmpeg, not tried, need a FFmpeg for windows build
I do not wish to reencode/repack any files, i have more than 2 TB video data this way. Converted my entire DVD collection Also looking for a solution for my blu-ray's but this is not a high priority.
Just for the record, I LOVE PMS, gotta give a donation for the great work, and will do that soon

Hysterectomy: Spare Ovaries, Boost Health?
April 21, 2009 -- Ovary removal during a hysterectomy is often done to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. But doing so also boosts the risk of heart disease and death long-term, according to a new study.
For women without a strong family history of ovarian cancer or genetic predisposition to it, these heart disease and death risks appear to outweigh the benefit of the decreased cancer risk, says William H. Parker, MD, the study's lead author and a gynecologic surgeon and researcher at the John Wayne Cancer Institute at St. John's Health Center, Santa Monica, Calif. The study is published in the May issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
It's time to rethink the routine removal of ovaries, Parker says. "For the past 35 years, any woman over 40 or 45, when they needed a hysterectomy, would be told by the doctor, 'We should take out the ovaries to prevent ovarian cancer,'" Parker tells WebMD.
Ovary Removal or Not? Study Details
Although the advice to remove the ovaries is undoubtedly good for women at high risk for ovarian cancer, Parker began to wonder years ago if the advice was sound for the general population, whose overall risk of ovarian cancer is typically low, especially in comparison to other health risks as they age, such as heart disease.
To find out, Parker and his colleagues from Harvard Medical School and numerous other institutions tracked the health outcomes of 29,380 women participants in the long-running Nurses' Health Study. All had a hysterectomy for reasons other than cancer. More than half, or 16,345, had both ovaries removed; the other 13,035 women kept their ovaries.

I have been trying to improve my putting game recently. I have about 24-28 feet to work with in my apartment. My question is what kind of drills/practice would you guys/gals recommend.
After a couple days of messing around I figured it needed to start moving my feet in between shots. If I plant my feet and just grab for putters and throw shot after shot. Those later shots are going to be easier to hit b/c of doing small adjustments learned from earlier shots.
So after warming up I would try to move from 24 feet to 15 feet then back again. Also last night I tried to switch from stradle putt to one foot forward in between shots.
Any other ideas on what I could/should be working on. I know I need to get outside and putt more. I am doing most of this stuff after dark or when it is really wet outside.

Facts About Diseases/Conditions Affecting Women
Facts About Diseases/Conditions Affecting Women
- A baby girl born in the United States in 2006 could expect to live 80.2 years; that's 5.1 years longer than a male baby, whose life expectancy would be 75.1 years.
Arthritis/Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Of the 46 million Americans (nearly 1 in 5 adults) estimated to have some form of arthritis in 2006, 24.3 million were women and 17.1 million were men. Arthritis is one of the most prevalent chronic health problems and the nation's leading cause of disability among Americans over age 15. It is second only to heart disease as a cause of work disability.
- Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, affects nearly 27 million Americans. Approximately 16 million OA sufferers are women, who usually develop the disorder after age 40.
- Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 44 million Americans, or 55 percent of people age 50 and older. Today, 10 million people already have the disease, 80 percent of whom are women. Another 34 million people have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis.
- The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis increases with age, approaching 5 percent in women over age 55. The average annual incidence in the United States is about 70 per 100,000 annually. Both incidence and prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis are two to three times greater in women than men. Although rheumatoid arthritis may start at any age, patients most commonly are first affected in their 30s to their 60s.
- The estimated cost of arthritis to the economy annually is some $128 billion. In 2005, osteoporosis-related fractures were responsible for an estimated $19 billion in costs. By 2025, experts predict that these costs will rise to approximately $25.3 billion.
Autoimmune Diseases
- More than 80 autoimmune diseases have been described to date. Some, such as type 1 diabetes, attack specific organs, while others, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), involve multiple organs. Although many autoimmune diseases are rare, collectively they affect up to 8 percent of the U.S. population. A disproportionate number of people with autoimmune disorders are women.
- More than 1 million Americans have chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), which strikes more people than multiple sclerosis, lupus, lung cancer, or ovarian cancer. CFS occurs four times more frequently in women than in men and in people in their 40s and 50s. CFS is at least as common among African Americans and Hispanics as it is among Caucasians.
- Approximately 2 percent of the U. S. population has fibromyalgia, which affects predominantly women (more than 80 percent) between the ages of 35 and 55. It can occur independently or along with other diseases, such as systemic lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.Lupus affects at least 1.5 million Americans, and each year, more than 16,000 Americans develop lupus. It strikes mostly women in their childbearing years (ages 15-44).
- Women are six to 10 times more likely to have lupus than are men. African-American women are three times more likely to develop lupus than Caucasian women, and it is also more common in women of Hispanic, Asian and Native American descent. If race and sex factors are combined, a startling statistic emerges: an African-American woman is some 100 times more likely to develop lupus than is a white man.
- Some 400,000 Americans have multiple sclerosis (MS), which strikes two to three times as many women as men. Each week, about 200 people are newly diagnosed with MS, usually between the ages of 20 and 50.
- Between 5.8 million and 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis. The prevalence of psoriasis in African Americans is 1.3 percent and in Caucasians 2.5 percent. The overall costs of treating the disease may exceed $3 billion annually.
- Sjögren's syndrome is one of the most prevalent autoimmune disorders, striking as many as 4 million Americans, of whom nine out of 10 are women. About half of Sjogren's cases occur along with another connective tissue disease, primarily rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, and scleroderma.
- Autoimmune diseases are estimated to cost the country $86 billion annually.
- Women have a lifetime risk of a little more than 1 in 3 of developing cancer. An estimated 692,000 women were diagnosed with some form of cancer in 2008, and an estimated 271,530 died from cancer that year.
- An estimated 182,460 women were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer last year. It is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women, excluding cancers of the skin. After continuously increasing for more than two decades, female breast cancer incidence rates decreased by 3.5 percent per year from 2001-2004. An estimated 40,480 women died from it in 2008.
- An estimated 11,070 new cases of invasive cervical cancer were diagnosed in 2008. Incidence rates have decreased steadily over the past several decades in both white and African-American women. An estimated 3,870 women died from cervical cancer last year.
- An estimated 40,100 new cases of endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterine corpus) were diagnosed in 2008, and an estimated 7,470 women died from it.
- Women accounted for 100,330 of the 215,020 new cases of lung cancer diagnosed in 2008. While the incidence rate is declining significantly in men (from a high of 102 cases per 100,000 in 1984 to 73.6 in 2004), in women the rate is approaching a plateau after a long period of increase. Still, lung cancer accounts for the most cancer-related deaths in both men and women. Since 1987, more women have died each year from lung cancer than from breast cancer. Of the estimated 161,840 lung cancer deaths in 2008, 71,030 were in women and 90,810 were in men.
- An estimated 21,650 new cases of ovarian cancer were diagnosed in 2008. It accounts for about 3 percent of all cancers among women and ranks second among gynecologic cancers. An estimated 15,520 women died from ovarian cancer in 2008.
- The estimated overall costs for cancer in 2007 were $219.2 billion.
- In the United States, 23.6 million people, or 8 percent of the population, have diabetes. An estimated 17.9 million have been diagnosed, but 5.7 million people are not aware that they have the disease. Another 57 million have pre-diabetes. The total prevalence of diabetes increased 13.5 percent from 2005 to 2007.
- Among men age 20 and older, 12 million, or 11.2 percent, have diabetes, but nearly one-third of them do not know it. Among women in the same age group, 11.5 million, or 10.2 percent, have diabetes, but nearly one-fourth of them do not know it. The prevalence of diabetes is at least two to four times higher among African-American, Hispanic-American, American Indian, and Asian-Pacific Islander women than among white women.
- The total annual economic cost of diabetes in 2007 was estimated to be $174 billion. People with diagnosed diabetes, on average, have medical expenditures that are some 2.3 times higher than for those without diabetes. One out of every five health-care dollars is spent caring for someone with diagnosed diabetes, and one in 10 health-care dollars is attributed to diabetes.
Eye Disorders
- Cataracts affect nearly 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older. By age 80, more than half of all Americans have cataracts.Women are more likely to develop cataracts than men, and African Americans and Hispanic Americans are at particularly high risk.
- Nearly 5 million Americans age 50 and older are estimated to have dry eye syndrome. Of these, more than 3 million are women and more than 1.5 million are men. Tens of millions more have less severe symptoms. Dry eye is more common after menopause.
- Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world. More than 4 million Americans have glaucoma, but only half of those know they have it. Some 120,000 are blind from glaucoma, accounting for up to 12 percent of all cases of blindness in this country.
- Glaucoma is six to eight times more common in African Americans than in Caucasians, and it is the leading cause of blindness among African Americans. African Americans ages 45-65 are up to 17 times more likely to go blind from glaucoma than whites with glaucoma in the same age group.
- Glaucoma is estimated to cost the U.S. government more than $1.5 billion annually in Social Security benefits, lost income tax revenues, and health care expenditures.
Gastrointestinal Disorders
- As many as 20 percent of the adult population, or one in five Americans, have symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), making it one of the most common disorders diagnosed by doctors. It occurs more often in women than in men, and it begins before the age of 35 in about 50 percent of people.
- Some $30 billion is spent annually on IBS, excluding prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Heart Disease and Stroke
- More than 80.7 million American adults (42.7 million women; 37.9 million men) have one or more types of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nearly 2,400 Americans die of CVD each day, an average of one death every 40 seconds. CVD claims about as many lives each year as cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, accidents, and diabetes combined.
- The average annual rates of first major cardiovascular events rise from 3 per 1,000 men at ages 35-44 to 74 per 1,000 at ages 85-94. For women, comparable rates occur 10 years later in life, and the gap narrows with advancing age.
- Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries is the leading cause of illness and death in the United States. In men, the risk increases after age 45; in women, the risk increases after age 55.
- In 2005, 16 million U.S. adults (age 20 and older) suffered from coronary heart disease (CHD) [heart attack, angina pectoris, or both]—8.7 million men; 7.3 million women. Annually, more than 1 million people are diagnosed with CHD (710,000 males; 490,000 females). Nearly half a million Americans die each year from CHD, which caused one of every five deaths in 2004. CHD comprises more than half of all cardiovascular events in men and women under age 75. The lifetime risk of developing CHD after age 40 is 49 percent for men and 32 percent for women.
- In 2005, of the 9.1 million Americans who had angina pectoris, 4.6 million were women and 4.4 million were men. Each year, some 500,000 people are diagnosed with stable angina.
- In 2005, 920,000 new or recurrent myocardial infarctions (MI or heart attack) occurred, and in 2004 nearly 157,000 people died. The average age of a person having a first heart attack is 64.5 for men and 70.4 for women. Within one year following a first MI, at age 40 and older, 23 percent of women and 18 percent of men will die; within five years for that same age group, 43 percent of women and 33 percent of men will die.
- Of the 5.3 million adults living with heart failure (HF), 2.7 million are women and 2.7 million are men. At age 40, the lifetime risk of developing HF for both men and women is one in five. In 2004, 57,120 people died from HF. Eighty percent of men and 70 percent of women under age 65 who have HF will die within eight years.
- In 2005, 73 million people (39 million females and 34 million males) had high blood pressure (HBP or hypertension). Nearly one in three adults has HBP. A higher percentage of men than women have HBP until age 45. From ages 45-54, the percentage of men and women is similar. After that, a much higher percentage of women have HBP than men do. In 2004, HBP was responsible for 54,707 deaths—31,608 females and 23,099 males. That year, the death rates for HBP were 15.7 for white males, 51 for black males, 14.5 for white females, and 40.9 for black females.
- On average, someone in this country has a stroke every 40 seconds. In 2005, 5.8 million Americans (3.4 million females; 2.3 million males) suffered a stroke, and each year about 780,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke. On average, every three to four minutes someone dies of a stroke, which accounted for about one of every 16 deaths in 2004. That year, 150,074 people died of stroke—91,274 females and 58,800 males.
- The estimated direct and indirect costs of CVD for 2008 were $448.5 billion.
Kidney/Urologic Disorders
- Interstitial cystitis (IC)—also called painful bladder syndrome (PBS)—is far more common in women than in men: of the estimated 1.3 million Americans with IC, more than 1.2 million are women.
- Overactive bladder (OAB) affects more than 34 million Americans—that's about one in every six adults.
- Urinary incontinence (UI) affects an estimated 38 percent of women age 60 and older, and it affects about 17 percent of men in that age group.
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for about 8.3 million doctor visits annually. Women are especially prone to UTIs—one woman in five develops a UTI during her lifetime.
- The 1995 societal cost of UTI for individuals age 65 and older was $26.3 billion, or $3,565 per individual age 65 and older with UTI. Most of the total cost is associated with direct treatment, such as the cost of diagnostic testing and medication, and nearly half the costs of UTI are for medical services paid by Medicare. The cost of OAB is $12.6 billion (in 2000 dollars). The cost of caring for UTI and OAB nursing facility patients is an estimated $5.3 billion. In 2000, $3.5 billion was spent on the evaluation and treatment of UTIs.
Lung/Respiratory Disorders
- Females traditionally have consistently higher rates of asthma than have males. In 2007, females were about 8.9 percent more likely than males to ever have been diagnosed with asthma. That year, 9.5 million males and 13.4 million females had asthma. The prevalence rate in females (88.4 per 1,000 people) was 36 percent greater than the rate in males (65.2 per 1,000 people) overall and 66 percent greater in female adults over age 18 than men in the same age group (89.7 per 1,000 vs. 54.1 per 1,000).
- Females tend to have consistently higher asthma attack prevalence rates than males. In 2007, 7.4 million females (49.2 per 1,000) had an asthma attack compared to 4.9 million males (33.4 per 1,000).
- In 2005, 3,884 people died of asthma, and 66 percent of them were women. The female death rate was 50 percent greater than the male death rate. The age-adjusted death rate for asthma in the African-American population (3.0 per 100,000) was three times higher than the rate in the white population (1.0 per 100,000). African-American women had the highest mortality rate due to asthma in 2005 (3.3 per 100,000).
- In 2007, the direct health care costs for asthma were $14.7 billion; indirect costs (lost productivity) added another $5 billion for a total of $19.7 billion. Prescription drugs represented the largest single direct medical expenditure at $6.2 billion.
Neurologic Disorders
- Today, more than 5 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer's disease; 5.1 million of them are age 65 and older. Every 70 seconds, someone develops Alzheimer's. In 2000, an estimated 411,000 new cases of Alzheimer's were diagnosed. That number is expected to increase to 959,000 new cases a year by 2050.
- In 1991, only 14,112 death certificates recorded Alzheimer's as the underlying cause. From 2000-2006, deaths attributed to Alzheimer's disease increased by 47.1 percent, while heart disease, the leading cause of death, decreased by 11.5 percent.
- In 2005, the Alzheimer's death rate for females (33.9 per 100,000) was approximately twice that of males (14.1 per 100,000), and that relationship was seen across racial and ethnic groups. White females had the highest death rates for Alzheimer's (44.8 per 100,000).
- Almost 10 million Americans provide unpaid care for a person with Alzheimer's or other dementias, and about 60 percent of those caregivers are women. In 2008, they provided 8.5 billion hours of unpaid care, a contribution to the nation valued at $94 billion.
- Alzheimer's and dementias triple healthcare costs for Americans age 65 and older. The direct and indirect costs of Alzheimer's and other dementias to Medicare, Medicaid and businesses amount to more than $148 billion annually.
Obstetric/Gynecologic Conditions
- In 2005, 62 million American women were in their childbearing years (15-44), and 62 percent of them were using a contraceptive method. Another 31 percent of those women do not need a contraceptive because they are infertile; pregnant, postpartum, or trying to become pregnant; have never had intercourse; or are not sexually active. Among the 42 million fertile, sexually active women who do not want to become pregnant, 89 percent are practicing contraception. For women younger than age 30, birth control pills are the leading method. By age 35, more women rely on sterilization.
- Dysmenorrhea (severe menstrual pain) is the leading cause of lost time from school and work among women in their teens and 20s.
- An estimated 2 percent-10 percent of American women—or 5.5 million women and girls—of childbearing age have endometriosis. It is more common than AIDS, more common than cancer, and one of the three major causes of female infertility.
- Female sexual dysfunction affects approximately 43 percent of women. There is evidence that the majority of the disorder happens after menopause when hormone production drops and vascular conditions are more common.
- Fibrocystic changes are the most common cause of breast lumps in women ages 30 to 50. At least 60 percent of the women in their reproductive years have "lumpy" breasts as a result of these non-cancerous conditions.
- Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or 1 out of 5 adolescents and adults, have had genital herpes (herpes simplex virus type two). It is more common in women than men, infecting approximately 1 out of 4 women versus almost 1 out of 8 men.
- Hot flashes are, by far, the most common symptom of menopause, with about 75 percent of women experiencing them. For 80 percent of women, hot flashes occur for two years or less, but for a small percentage of women hot flashes last for more than two years.
- Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Approximately 20 million people are currently infected with HPV, and another 6.2 million become newly infected each year. More than 40 HPV types can infect the genital areas of men and women, and some types cause genital warts. About 1 percent of sexually active adults in the United States have genital warts at any one time. At least half of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives.
- Aside from AIDS, the most common and serious complication of sexually transmitted diseases among women is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). In the United States, more than 1 million women experience an episode of acute PID each year, with teenagers having the highest rate of infection. More than 100,000 women become infertile each year as a result of PID.
- The United States has the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the industrialized world. In this country alone, some 19 million new infections occur each year. Women suffer more frequent and more serious complications from STDs than men.
- Uterine fibroids are the most common non-cancerous tumors in women of childbearing age. Some estimate that fibroids could affect as many as 77 percent of women in this country. African-American women are three to five times more likely to have fibroids than white women. Fibroids represent the most common indication for hysterectomy, accounting for 30 percent of hysterectomies in white women and more than 50 percent in African-American women.
- Fibroids are the cause of more than 200,000 hysterectomies every year. The costs associated with hysterectomy are estimated at more than $5 billion annually.
- Up to 40 percent of postmenopausal women have symptoms of vaginal atrophy. Despite the prevalence of symptoms, only about 25 percent of symptomatic women seek medical attention.
Psychiatric Disorders
- Anxiety disorders, which include panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), phobias, and generalized anxiety disorder, affect about 40 million American adults in a given year. Women outnumber men in each illness category, except for OCD and social phobia for which both sexes have an equal likelihood of being affected.
- Bipolar disorder affects approximately 5.7 million adults, or about 2.6 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year. The median age of onset is age 25.
- Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) affects about 6.8 million adult Americans and about twice as many women as men. The disorder comes on gradually and can begin across the life cycle, though the risk is highest between childhood and middle age.
- Major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability in the United States for ages 15-44. It affects some 14.8 million adults or about 6.7 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year. The disorder is more prevalent in women than in men.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects about 2.2 million American adults and strikes men and women in roughly equal numbers. It usually appears in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood. One-third of adults with OCD develop symptoms as children.
- Panic disorder affects about 6 million American adults and is twice as common in women as men.Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects about 7.7 million American adults. Women are more likely to develop PTSD than men.
- Up to 80 percent of women of reproductive age have physical changes with menstruation. Twenty percent to 40 percent of them experience symptoms ofpremenstrual syndrome (PMS). Up to 10 percent of women in that age group have severe distress and dysfunction caused by premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a severe form of PMS.
- Social phobia affects about 15 million American adults. Women and men are equally likely to develop the disorder, which usually begins in childhood or early adolescence.
- Every year, severe sepsis strikes an estimated 750,000 people in the United States. The annual incidence rate of sepsis has increased 91.3 percent over the last 10 years, and it is expected to rise to 1 million by the end of the decade as the population ages.
- Every hour, 25 people in the United States die from severe sepsis. One of every three patients who develop severe sepsis will die within a month. Severe sepsis, the leading cause of death in the non-coronary intensive care unit, takes more lives than breast, colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancers combined.
- Septicemia, which is a state of sepsis, killed 18,814 females and 15,322 males in 2005.

There was bowling for those so inclined, a talent-studded runway show on "fashion alley" and fall designs by Garbarini and Luca Bruno at Bol in the Solaris in Vail Village. All of these delightful diversions were dished up to help support Friends of the Dance and the Vail International Dance Festival. The Vail Valley Foundation teamed up with Friends of the Dance to celebrate and educate about the mission of both organizations.
Party goers learned from Suzy Hervert that Friends of the Dance was created in 1984 to ensure that dance education would be an essential presence in our community. Now, 28 years later, they stand by their mission and annually provide thousands of dollars of financial aid to students in all dance disciplines.
Friends of the Dance is a nonprofit that provides performance opportunities for more than 100 local dancers. For instance, "The Nutcracker" performance at the Vilar Center is supported by the Friends of Dance. Friends of Dance covers artistic direction and capital expenses for the community's only ballet company. Friends of Dance also believes in exposing our local dancers to the world of dance outside of our community and funds master teachers to come from all over the country.
"We are so honored and excited to be partnered with the Friends of Dance tonight," said Ceil Folz, Vail Valley Foundation's president. "A year ago, a Vail magazine did an article on six kids who grew up in the Vail Valley and are now in New York or L.A. and are pursuing careers in the performing arts. In the article, each kid talks about how they got to where they are today."
Folz recalled how each of them credited growing up in Vail as giving them a great head start.
"They were nurtured by directors and parents and then were able to watch great dancers on the stage, or listen to Bravo or go to the Vilar Center," Folz said. "We are in an unbelievable community where kids have these opportunities."
The "Strike a Pose" organizing committee, consisting of Senenne Philippon, Liz Leeds, Lindsay Rauch and Shawn Kirschner, did a fabulous job of creating a fresh event that infused entertainment and information into a fun-filled evening.
Gratitude and congratulations were extended to Luca Bruno for the men's fashion, emcee Tricia Swenson, Bliss Studio, Vail Valley Pharmacy, The Steadman Clinic, Garbarini and Havashoe.
It takes the commitment of many to create and sustain organizations like Friends of the Dance and the Vail Valley Foundation. The valley is fortunate to have impassioned people in the arts to teach, support and showcase artistic and athletic endeavors.

3.4-6 Damages - Compensation for Increased Risk of
Revised to January 1, 2008
The plaintiff claims that (he/she)
has suffered an increased risk of <alleged future complication> as a
result of the defendant's negligence. The plaintiff is entitled to recover
damages for physical harm resulting from a failure to exercise reasonable
care. If the failure to exercise reasonable care increases the risk that
such harm will occur in the future, the plaintiff is entitled to
compensation for the increased risk. In order to award this element of
damages, you must find a breach of duty that was a substantial factor in
causing a present injury which has resulted in an increased risk of future
harm. The increased risk must have a basis in the evidence. Your verdict
may not be based on speculation. The plaintiff is entitled to compensation
to the extent that the future harm is likely to occur as measured by
multiplying the total compensation to which the plaintiff would be entitled
if the harm in question were certain to occur by the proven probability that
the harm in question will in fact occur.
Marchetti v. Ramirez, 240 Conn. 49,

Petriello v. Kalman, 215 Conn. 377, 392 n.7, 397-98 (1990).
This issue should not be
submitted to the jury absent a reasonable basis in the evidence for the
estimation of such damages. Seymour v. Carcia, supra, 221 Conn. 481

Set two features an outstanding Piper > Sneakin' Sally that is hot and highly reccomended. What I really want to comment on, however, is that Scents. It's my personal favorite. 2004 captured the band at their most feeble and searching, but also at the height of their expressive powers. The emotion in this song is really unexpected and overwhelming, and given that C-word was next on the radar, it was almost as if the band was saying goodbye to the real stage one last time. The end result is a very sad, yet moving piece that is washed with ambient loops and great work by Page and Mike. This jam should be heard regardless, but if I had to give a reason, I would say that it really helps but things in perspective with where the band was at the exact moment in time. It gives us fans an unabashed inside look at their collective mindset heading in to the final weekend. Some people want to forget, some pretend it never happened, but some, like me, find that there is beauty in this time period. This Scents is a perfect example.
Also worth noting is that the very next day, Phish soundchecked what I conisder to be their best ever piece and my all time favorite jam, simply titled "Check 1". Get it. It is an extension of what I have written above times 10 million. The definitive jam, in my opinion, of the band's career and 30-plus minutes of why I love them so.

SPC Crew
Have you noticed the shiny floors or clean carpets and wondered how that came to be? The Building Service Department has a five man BSW team known as the "Special Projects Crew" or "SPC". This crew devotes their entire attention to the special needs on campus and helps to maintain areas in "like new" condition.
Without the SPC, some projects could never be accomplished due to the interruption for Faculty, Staff, and Students during normal business hours. SPC works after hours, Sunday through Thursday from 10:00 pm to 5:30 am. Although this team is rarely seen by our campus community; the results of their hard work does not go unnoticed.
Services provided by the SPC consist of shampooing and extraction of carpets, scrubbing, stripping, and waxing of floors, burnishing hallways, special cleaning and detailing offices, as well as answering late night emergency calls. (i.e., water leaks: extracting water and cleaning up the mess created by the leak to prevent further damage to University property.) While 85% of the work time for the SPC is devoted to these special projects, the remainder of their night is spent cleaning & moving their equipment the next job.
If you would like to schedule floor care services with the SPC, contact Patty Murphy or Travis Magee at the Building Services Department at 581-5921.

Tuesday August 23, 2011
Swainsboro, Ga--When you go undefeated in the regular season, you expect to do considerable damage in the playoffs. For Swainsboro, yea, things didn't go according to plan.
The Tigers were bounced in the first round by Brooks County meaning these guys couldn't wait to get back on the field. With a solid corp of players returning off that team, they're working harder to make sure it doesn't happen again.
"These guys I think are hungry" said coach Scott Roberts "The taste of that first round loss is still in their mouths and I'm glad. I hope that we come out this time and play with a chip on their shoulder and try to improve on what we did last year."
"Since November 11th of last year, it's been a sick taste in everybody's mouth and a bad feeling in their stomach." said senior Michael Muns "We went 10-0 as region champs and you know in our minds we really went 0 and 1when it came down to crunch time. It doesn't start getting better the week of the playoffs, you start it August 1st and then November 5th in the weight room."
Now there are a few pieces to replace, namely at quarterback where Lynquez Blair is gone. But with the Quan Gardner and Shaq Cowart and others back to help carry the burden, and plenty of experience up front, go ahead and book these guys another playoff date. This time, they'll be hungrier then ever to win in the post season.
