The sister of late The Knack drummer Bruce Gary is suing chiefs at Capitol Records over allegations of unpaid royalties.
Felice Catena inherited the rights to her sibling's music after he passed away in 2006, but she is convinced she is being underpaid for several of the band's hits, which include My Sharona and Good Girls Don't.
Catena has filed papers at Los Angeles County Superior Court claiming Capitol Records executives are only handing over a fraction of the download proceeds she is due from songs, according to Tmz.com.
Gary's sister alleges she is owed 50 per cent of net receipts from sales of his music on various digital sites, including iTunes and Amazon.
Without giving away any spoilers, both the British actors hinted that season seven of 'Game of Thrones' would be eventful, shall we say.


text: I hate to sound so green but I was using Blogger and I loved that in Blogger I could upload a photo, choose the placement and boom, there it was, all nicely aligned. In WordPress, I choose upload, and (assuming my pic was small enuf), it actually uploads, then I right click on the pic, go to properties, get the link. Now I click on the Add Image icon, paste the link, choose my placement and then click on ok. Now my picture is there but is the size of the entire screen so I have to find the corner and drag the picture to the proper size. The picture ends up, (duh) quite distorted. Then when I view the posting, the words are too close the pic. I just want simplicity but I want to use WordPress because I think it is so cool! Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this easier on myself?

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The roots of the name Wylie are found among the Strathclyde-Briton people of the ancient Scottish/English Borderlands. Wylie was originally found in Dumfries.
The surname Wylie was first found in Dumfriesshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Dhùn Phris), a Southern area, bordering on England that today forms part of the Dumfries and Galloway Council Area, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
In the era before dictionaries, there were no rules governing the spelling or translation of names or any other words. Consequently, there are an enormous number of spelling variations in Medieval Scottish names. Wylie has appeared as Wiley, Wylie, Whyley, Wyley, Wilie, Wyllie and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Wylie research. Another 203 words (14 lines of text) covering the years 1590, 1645, 1642, 1643 and are included under the topic Early Wylie History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Another 37 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Wylie Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Some of the Wylie family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 135 words (10 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
The freedom, opportunity, and land of the North American colonies beckoned. There, Scots found a place where they were generally free from persecution and where they could go on to become important players in the birth of new nations. Some fought in the American War of Independence, while others went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of all of these Scottish settlers have been able to recover their lost national heritage in the last century through highland games and Clan societies in North Ameri ca. Among them:

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fides
Motto Translation: Faith.

The Wylie Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Wylie Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Hey. My name is sam. My name comes from the Smashing Pumpkins song 1979, which is a pretty good song. If you like Smashing Pumpkins then that's pretty rad.
May 19th, 2013, 10:36 PM
Your 1979 addiction profounds me. I am Slate.. Hello Sam we meet again. Now would you like to have the Blue Pill or the Red Pill? Oh? You picked the Red Pill? Well that's a good choice!. Now Now there's no turning back. Whats done is done.Now that you've picked welcome to Pokecommunity. Enjoy your stay.....
May 19th, 2013, 10:49 PM
Hi there Sam :) I believe we've met already, so that's good :D
Welcome to The PokeCommunity! *applause* I surely do hope you enjoy your stay.
Now, all you need to do is just...find places and people you like, and just chat, I guess. Can't put it any plainer. There are always Moderators here to help you out, like the moderator of The Welcome Lounge, named Cirno. If you have enquiries, just be sure to PM or VM a mod or me if necessary. Also, I do hope you've read the rules (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=6446812), just so you know what's right and what's wrong.
Happy posting, and have a nice day!
May 19th, 2013, 10:51 PM
Hi Sam 8]. Cool name by the way. You can call me Dash or Fritz if you want. I see you at the server and maybe you'd be interested in learning about competitive battling. If so you can visit Battle Center (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=234) or you can join some of our tournaments located here (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=235). Also don't be afraid to contact any of our moderators if you have any questions! Hope to see you around and enjoy your stay. ~
May 19th, 2013, 11:00 PM
Oh hello there 1979, welcome to PC!
I have heard that song by Smashing Pumpkins but I'm not all of a fan of them tbh. I do love Pokemon a lot though, and I have been for a long time now. You can call me Hikari, and I've been here since 2011. I also hang out at the PC Battle Server, and like Fritz said, definitely check out our Battle Center section if you're a serious competitive player. We mainly host our events on Pokemon Showdown, and you can find PC's official server here (http://pokecommunity.psim.us/). I'm usually there as Daikenki or Hikamaru most of the time.
I hope you stay around and check out the other things PC has to offer, and remember to read the rules or contact any moderators if you need help! Have fun and I'll be seeing you around!

Hello Sam and welcome to PC!
I happen to know the song you're talking about and I have to say, it's one of my favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs. While I'm in a ig fan of their music, I know a few of their songs and they're pretty good group imo. That one blew me away the first time listening to it and I have no idea why that was. Maybe cause I first heard it on the music video and I fell in love with that video. I'm sure you like more bands besides Smashing Pumpkins, so why not take a gander at General Entertainment? (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29) It's a good stop for all things music, TV , movies, anime, and all entertainment including tabletop games. I'm guessing you also really like Pokemon too since you seem to roam the Battle Server a lot. Since this is a Pokemon forum we do have many sections on Pokemon and even some not on Pokemon so go ahead and explore the forums a bit! So as Hikari said, be sure to look at the Battle Center if you're into competitive battles.
Please do stay around and I hope when you visit, you enjoy your stay.Just be sure to ask staff members like Cirno any questions you have. Have fun Sam!

Chris and Trish Meyer have been using After Effects since version 1.0 and have written ten books about the program, and they are always among the first to dive into each new version and discover what it offers to their fellow motion graphics artists. Chris takes you under the hood and explains how each new feature works in After Effects CS5. This course covers both the technical and creative implications of this latest release, including tutorials on the new Roto Brush tool and mocha version 2, blending modes, text options, and new and improved user interface elements in Adobe After Effects CS5. Numerous examples show the most efficient ways to use the new features and avoid potential pitfalls when applying techniques. Chris ends with a discussion of which users will get them most out of upgrading to After Effects CS5.
- Reviewing After Effects' 64-bit system requirements
- Mastering the new Roto Brush tool plus Refine Matte
- Warping with FreeForm
- Motion tracking with mocha version 2
- Matting with mocha shape, including adding motion blur
- Extruding in 3D with Repoussé
- Importing RED footage
- Using Color Finesse and updated blending modes

I finished creating my segmentation boundary. I have created a couple of base frames, these gold bars and I've propagated that initial information throughout the link to this clip. Next I want to refine the matte outline and there is a few ways of going about it. You might have noticed that this pink outline, the segmentation boundary, doesn't exactly follow his hair. You can decide how closely or loosely to follow that hair. That's the smoothing parameter. For example, if I was to take smoothing down to 0, you can see now we have got some crinkles that follow his hair in much more detail, particularly as I go from frame to frame.
If I decided I didn't want that much detail, if I want a more feathered outline, I'll go ahead and increase smoothing to a higher value like 5 and now it just creates a basic smooth boundary. If you want to see what that looks like, you can turn off the segmentation boundary, the alpha boundary, and look at it. It either gets a checkerboard or against just a black background. In addition to having a smooth or sharp outline, you can decide how much feather there is around that outline. Basically, how wide the anti-aliasing falloff is.
Feather only really comes into play if Smooth has a value other than 0. So let me go to 1 where it's smoothed out little bit, increase Feather to 100%. Now, you see you have a much more anti- aliased falloff than if I was to put the Feather down to say 0, which is not anti-aliased at all. I'll go around 50 for now. Additionally, if you have got problems either with the edge being eroded away or if you are seeing part of the background when you shouldn't, you can go ahead and change the Choke percentage. I am just going to go ahead and do this until I no longer see that white contamination along the edge.
Turn around, there. That's a good looking edge. Alpha boundary, black background color. But these are but crude tools. The best tool of all is the Refine Matte checkbox. As soon as you turn that on, a few things go on. One, the edge is much better smoothed, particularly taking partial transparency and Motion Blur into account as he moves. You see on these frames, he is moving less, there is less blur around the edges.
And when he is moving more, there is more of a blurred edge. This is even more obvious when we view just the black and white alpha channel. Particularly if I go around here where he is moving particularly fast, you can really see how much blur is going on as he pulls his head back in this direction. This side of his face is being blurred in the direction he is moving. Since the collar lines up with the direction he is moving, it's not as blurred. So it's not an all around blur, it's not an all around feather. It is indeed a motion-predicted motion blur. Now, right around here, I am seeing just a little bit of strobing going on.
I probably need to use more Motion Blur samples. Go up to number like 16, and get a much smoother Motion Blur run through there. The Shutter Angle is at 360 right now, which is higher than the default and higher than normal. The typical film camera emulation is at 180 degrees of motion blur. But I had it set at 360 because I really want you to see that effect. I'll go back down to 180. There is a Higher Quality switch. You don't always need it. It does take more calculation time. But if you are finding you have got some problems with some edges, particularly very blurred edges, Higher Quality gets you a little bit more detail in those highly blurred edges.
I'll turn off my alpha channel, go back to my image for now. Now, in addition to smoothing out and automatically motion blurring that matte outline, there is a couple other things it does. One is Reduce Chatter and I mentioned this earlier. Quite often when you have noisy footage, film grain, a lot of smoke or dust in the air, what should be a straight, flat, not moving edge may seem to sizzle a little bit or chatter a little bit, just because the prediction is thrown off by all that noise or dust or whatever.
Reduce Chatter basically damps that down and says "don't make that edge move." See how much it's moving? If it doesn't cross that threshold, then keep it where it was. Again, you can adjust this to taste. Depending whether or not you are seeing edges getting eroded away, then you have got to reduce chatter crank too high. Or whether or not you are noticing that the edges are indeed sizzling when they shouldn't be. Then reduce chatter as too low. Another great feature here is Decontaminate Edge. Basically, this says remove colors spill.
Just like when you key, background color will wrap around an object and contaminate the color of your foreground. This is particularly an issue in motion blurred areas, because those are partially transparent and the color behind is the background, which you don't necessarily want to see. So, you almost always want to have Decontaminate Edge turned on. If you need to tweak it out, go ahead and view exactly what area is being decontaminated. This white area is how far After Effects' automatically motion estimating needs to be contaminated.
You can go ahead and increase the area being decontaminated. You can play around with the strength of the decontamination. And then there is this additional parameter, Extend Where Smooth, and I'll open up this compound wider so you can see that full wording there. This parameter only affects edges, which have been moved or stabilized to reduce edge chatter. When it's enabled, it's says decontaminate the background color a little bit more around these areas, because the edge is in a different place than we originally predicted.
And I'll turn off View map. Now, what's really interesting about this Refine Matte area is not only is it extraordinarily useful for cleaning up mattes that Roto Brush creates. It exists as an entirely separate plug- in you can apply to any layer with a matte. Whether you have created with paint, mask, keys, whatever, you can slap on that dedicated Refine Matte plug-in that uses all of these parameters to go ahead and clean up your edges. Do the predictive the motion blur, do the spill removal, etcetera.
It's really a nice touch. It came on free on the back of Roto Brush. Now, before we go, I do have to say not every piece of footage is going to be as easy to Roto Brush as this piece was. This one was particularly cooperative. Other shots will be more problematic, particularly when you have arms swinging and legs swinging. When you have to remove sections between arms and legs. It's going to take some more work. You are going to need to spend some more time making corrective strokes with Roto Brush to check what the good and bad areas are.
But what's important to note is you don't rely on Roto Brush alone. You can use other tools to augment Roto Brush. For example, if there were some problems with this black and white alpha matte, I could use my Paint tools to go ahead and alter this matte. Paint on just the alpha channel, paint on just this frame. If I paint with white, I will then be adding to the alpha channel. If I am painting with black, I'll then be removing from the alpha channel.
You can also use masking and other techniques. So Roto Brush should not be viewed as either works or doesn't work. It should be viewed as this is going to do a lot of my work for me and then I can refine my work later on, either playing awhile with parameters, additional corrective strokes or by using tools such as Paint to further clean up and finish off the matte.

MOFET JTEC - Innovation and Inspiration: An Israeli Educational Leadership Seminar for Kindergarten Teachers
In June 2016, a seminar for kindergarten teachers from the Jewish kindergarten system in Pittsburgh was held at The MOFET Institute in collaboration with Classrooms without Borders. During the seminar, the participants experienced a variety of learning settings: visiting and observing Israeli kindergartens as well as other educational institutions serving kindergartens (A House in Nature, Bible House, museums, Ne'ot Kedumim); lectures and workshops on topics such as early childhood education in Israel, early childhood education throughout Jewish history in the Diaspora, Jewish identity in early childhood and the History of the State of Israel and its people. All of the above were accompanied by study-tours around the Land of Israel.

In a bid to encourage and equip as many congregations as possible to innovate and transform their approach to Jewish learning, the Experiment in Congregational Education (ECE) is launching The Toolbox: Resources to Experiment in Congregational Education. The Toolbox makes available to you and your team a vast collection of resources from 24 years of the ECE's work in the field of education-based synagogue transformation. These resources will make easier the challenging task of changing an educational approach, applying the tools and methods of those who have gone before.
This article describes conceptual aspects, current policies and practices, and research representing the Israeli perspective regarding early childhood inclusion (ECI) at preschool ages (3–6 years).
Our tradition understands well that from a transmission perspective, there is no place like home. Jewish conversation, Jewish practice, Jewish ideas, and the art of real Jewish living are best imbibed at home. Consequently, the time has come: we need to think of creative ways to strengthen the Jewish home. It is a priority that should be high on our strategic list.

MOFET JTEC - A Time for Families to Be at the Center: The First National Symposium of the Jewish Early Engagement Forum
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens, (Ecclesiastes 3:1), and now it is time to put families with young children at the center of attention for the Jewish community. This is the message that Rachel Raz, founder of the Jewish Early Engagement Forum
As a teacher, this experience has made me think about the education that takes place outside of the classroom, and how important it is to make sure our kids are in the best environments. Math and science are easy, as they can be taught from a book. Behaviors and our general outlooks on life though, are at least in part, dependent on the environments in which we place our children. As parents and as educators we need to remember this. My son's summer experience proved that locations and even certain groups can have a profound effect on a person's development. We are grateful to Camp Amichai that the effects have been so positive.
We can make a big difference in retaining these Jews and their children as part of the Jewish people and Jewish religion. It is, in many ways, much easier than engaging a secular American Jew in that Israelis all have much stronger Jewish identities and memories. If we do not wake up quickly and put resources toward this challenge, equipping synagogues across the country to engage Israelis and to understand their unique culture and needs it will soon be too late for the next generation.
When I asked my class to tell me about their Jewish Identity on day one, I got the answers you would expect. "I'm Jewish because my parents are Jewish," "I don't have any feelings about it. I'm just Jewish," and the dreaded, "I don't know what to say about it." That first day we talked about how it's okay not to know. I told them I wasn't looking for the "right answer." I let them know we would be spending 7 weeks asking the question and that all of our answers would be different. I was more interested in the process than I was in the product and my students were intrigued by that.
In this longitudinal study, carried out over a period of 6 years, the curriculum approach of student-teachers in the fields of Jewish Studies (Bible Studies and Jewish Philosophy) was examined, from their 1st year of studies until their 6th year when they took their places as full-fledged teachers in schools. This article focuses on the student-teachers' approaches to curriculum and the differences in their attitudes toward two formal study programs, that differ in character and essence. The major argument in this article is that the character and essence of a formal syllabus has great influence on curriculum approaches of students preparing to become teachers, and their place in developing their own teaching program.

I believe that in integration of educational technology is possible for every Jewish supplementary or day school in America. With the help of leading foundations in the field of Jewish education, local philanthropists, schools and congregational boards and Jewish agencies, such as local branches of federation and BJE, schools do have the potential to revolutionize their mode of teaching and curriculum.

A new report from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish Education at Brandeis University, funded in part by CASJE (Consortium for Applied Studies in Jewish Education), offers an unprecedented look at the many ways, to what degree, and the reasons why Hebrew is incorporated at Jewish overnight camps across North America. Connection, not Proficiency: Survey of Hebrew at North American Jewish Summer Camps surveys the experiences and opinions of camp directors at 103 camps. As the report shows, the overwhelming majority of these camps are deeply invested in using Hebrew to connect their campers to their camps' traditions, to Israel and to Jewish peoplehood.
This week's post offers a different perspective on progressive education: this week, I had the privilege of attending the 4th Annual Summer Sandbox, a 2.5 day conference focused on project-based learning (PBL) and education in the 21st century hosted at Yeshivat Noam in Paramus, NJ.

Let's cut to the chase. The moral of this story is this: Making SEVEN things that each, on their own, are easy, is not easy.
Okay, now that you now the end, let's start at the beginning.
Saturday night I rolled into the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport with nary an expectation (other than dinner). That night, my sister and brother in law and I were sitting around and she asked if I wanted to help her bake candy and cookies for a party she's having.
Um…yes? Is that a serious question?
Then came the hard part: deciding what to make. There were some things that were obvious choices, but then there were the "experiments".
I wouldn't say that we had any explicit rules for which recipes made the cut, but we were in complete agreement that anything easy was going on the "for sure" list. Turns out, I'm not the only one in my family that likes to take the easy way out.
During the first 2 hours of the Great Baking Day of 2010, we started with three VERY easy dishes.
1. 7 Layer bars
If I were to do this day over, I'd make 7 trays of these bars. Because of the things we made, I know these are going to be the first to go. Because they taste like heaven. With lots of sugar (which is requisite in my heaven anyway. I don't know about your heaven. Oh, and obviously all things sugar-laden will also be calorie free. It's heaven, right?)
Actually I wouldn't make 7 of these. There's no way I'd be able to eat them. I barely ate 2 bites and I was bouncing off the walls. Bouncing, I tell you. It wasn't pretty. Funny? Yes. Pretty? No.
I wish I could take credit for the recipe, but if you buy a can of sweetened condensed milk the recipe is on the can. Graham crackers, butter, sweeteneed condensed milk, chocolate, butterscotch, and white chips, and coconut.
Yes, I ate coconut. That's how good these bars are. They make me forget that I hate coconut.
Nest up was Christmas Crack. It is not something to mess around with.
If my brother in law's reaction is to be trusted (and trust me, boy knows his
crack treats and cookies) these things really are addicting. We (I) moved them to the garage so that our (my) shifty little hands couldn't reach into the fridge of their own accord and before you know it I've eaten 17 of them, and well, we didn't tell him. The next night, we heard him digging through the fridge for about 5 minutes looking for them. Our amusement grew exponentially as he grew increasingly frustrated.
He came downstairs eventually and said "Okay, seriously guys, where's the crack?"
What made it even funnier were his twitching and the fact that he was scratching his neck. We didn't stop giggling, and I think he got a wee bit annoyed.
Well, that might not have been all that funny for him.
He contemplated trekking through the unshovelled backyard in the blizzard with negative temperatures just to get a piece of this candy. I think laziness won out in the end, but I'm pretty sure he grabbed some the next morning when he went to work.
He did if he's as smart as we think he is (I mean, he DID marry into one of the best families this side of the Mississippi, after all, so he is at least marginally
crazy smart.)
We kept saying this all morning, but as long as we were melting chocolate, let's just make one. more. thing.
Famous. Last. Words.
Don't look too closely at this photo. There may have been some chocolate over-flowage, but my quick thinking and cat-like reflexes made quick work of the clean up and I saved the majority of the chocolate from certain death.
Jessica makes butter and sugar laden treats that would make Paula Deen blush, and when I saw her post this cake batter bark, I knew this had to make my list. My sister took one look at the picture and it was on the list. She's not hard to convince.
I almost wasn't going to post this because we didn't do this recipe justice. The white chocolate didn't ever get really liquidy (we used white chocolate chips, and maybe you can't melt chips in the microwave?), we didn't use enough cake batter, and we let the top layer cool long too long before adding the sprinkles.
The sprinkles didn't stick.
Neither did the the two layers.
But still. They taste good. I mean, chocolate and white chocolate are chocolate and white chocolate after all.
Oh darn. I guess this means we
don't have to waste them on other people can't serve them to friends.
At this point, we knew it was break time. When you ruin the simplest recipe with only three ingredients, somethings gotta give. Plus, we were out of chocolate.
[Insert second trip to the grocery store.]
And while we're at the store, let's take a short blogging break too, no? Come back tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion to the Great Holiday Bake-off…
Are you sick of seeing all these treats yet?
Have you gotten to open and presents yet? I did!!! Best friend EVER.

Boro missed some good chances and were caught cold by a late Birmingham strike from Nikola Zigic as they lost 1-0 at the Riverside.
It was a third successive defeat and sixth in eight matches in the npower Championship and, although they remain ninth in the table, Boro are now five points adrift of the top six with just eight games left.
"We are making it difficult for ourselves," said Mowbray. "We understand we need to win games to give ourselves a chance and that now we have one less game to do that.
"But it was a fine margin game. It could have gone either way but unfortunately it is another one that fell the wrong side of the line for us.
"We asked questions of them and had our chances to score but we never took them.We have maybe missed a few chances to kill games off in recent weeks but that is where we are as a team."

Okay, I know it's not a real full length blockbuster film BUT when I saw that Tom Jane was stepping back into the role of Frank Castle, I just about freaked out. I know that Ray Stevenson was probably a better representation of the old school Punisher, however I was just such a huge fan of the 2004 film. What can I say? Jane is a good actor and let's say for a second that The Punisher was never a comic, the film would still have been just great in my eyes purely from a cinema stand point. NOW with all of that said...I'm itching to get my hands on a copy of this short film because I've read about it and frankly it sounds pretty kick ass. Soooooo...

Early Gene Trials Raise Hope for Reversing Blindness
Two studies of gene therapy are creating some hope that it might be possible to restore at least some vision to patients with a rare form of blindness.
The studies were in patients with Leber's congenital amaurosis, in which patients with a faulty gene can't make a protein that nourishes the retina. In both studies, the researchers injected with healthy versions of the faulty gene, rpe65, into the eyes of a total of six patients, the Washington Post reports.
In one study, at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, three patients aged 19 to 26 showed improvements in visual "acuity" equivalent to being able to read three lines lower on a standard eye chart, after previously not being able to see the biggest letter, the Post reports. They were also more responsive to light. In the other study, at the University College London, in patients aged 17 to 23, one patient showed significant improvement in light sensitivity, but none showed better acuity.
There's a fair amount of caution among scientists about the results, in part because gene therapy is an especially tough option to make work without major side effects. The WSJ notes that no gene-therapy treatments have made it to the market in the U.S., despite hundreds of studies. An editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine said the preliminary results form the studies suggest that the procedure is safe in the short term, and the data "are suggestive of efficacy." The editorial adds: "Both groups recognize that longer follow-up and additional subjects are necessary to provide satisfying safety data. Certainly, efficacy data will be available only in larger trials."
Still, there's excitement about the patients' response. Jean Bennett of the University of Pennsylvania, a leader of the U.S. study, told the Post: "We were not really going for a cure. But we do view it as a success in that their vision has improved. I'd call it a dramatic response."

Nearly 14,000 deer harvested in Vermont in 2012The Associated Press | January 17,2013MONTPELIER - The state Fish and Wildlife Department says Vermont deer hunters successfully harvested nearly 14,000 deer in 2012, a 14 percent increase over the previous year.
The totals reflect archery, youth, rifle and muzzleloader harvests.
Officials say last winter's relatively mild weather and shallow snow depths likely contributed to this fall's elevated deer harvest.
The low availability of traditional food sources such as apple orchards and beech and oak stands this past summer and fall also resulted in deer changing their movement patterns.
The department says one of the biggest increases was in archery, which rose 25 percent, to 3,384 deer.MORE IN This Just In

Analysis: Writing Style
Elongated Over Time
Virginia Woolf sure packs a lot into one sentence, huh? As the novel shifts from being a narrative to a more stream of consciousness style, the sentences become longer and more intricate in their effort to capture absolutely everything. Woolf probably intended to mirror the way in which the human mind and thoughts actually operate.

Nearly 2 out of 3 children who are obese by kindergarten will remain obese as teens, and most of these teens will become obese adults.
What you do now can spare your baby a lifetime of struggle with obesity.
This easy-to-read book gives you the critical information you need to prevent obesity in infancy, including:
- How to avoid overfeeding (with breast and bottle)
- How to spot excess weight gain, and what to do about it
- Why sleep matters, and how to establish healthy sleep patterns
- How and when to introduce solid foods
- How to avoid an unhealthy appetite for sugary drinks
- How to help your baby get exercise before beginning to crawl or walk
Written by a pediatrician (Eden), an obesity scientist (Moore), and a nutritionist (Forman), this book is based on the latest scientific research in preventing childhood obesity in infancy.
Each chapter explains a single concept and summarizes it with easy-to-remember guidelines and expert advice. Author Dr. Eden also shares questions and answers encountered during his 40+ years of pediatric practice.
Bonus material includes:
- Delicious and healthy recipes
- Menu plans to help moms maintain or safely lose weight
- Links to engaging exercise videos of infant games and songs
This book is published in memory of C. Everett Koop, MD, ScD, the 13th U.S. Surgeon General and founder of Shape Up America!®, who pioneered the idea that obesity is a serious and preventable public health concern.

This is one of my favorite travel blogs! I love how the author can capture you in her story as in 'On the Road to Salamanca' but also creates a fun learning experience for unique literary circumstances such as in ' Como esta usted?'. Being married to someone from another country myself, I'm always delighted to read her posts about her life in her adopted country with her Spanish husband!

Kaley's blog is the perfect balance of engaging personal narrative and genuinely useful insight into life in a new country. We are drawn to her posts because of her charismatic writing and personal story, yet she never crosses that line into vanity publishing (you all know what I mean). And she has something real—actual expertise and local knowledge—to share with her readers. Let's face it, this is what we (the readers) really want from an expat blog, fun to draw us in, but substance to keep us satiated.

Since opening we have expanded into Ohio, Pennsylvania, Chicago and New Jersey and will be opening two more markets this year alone! In order to meet these expansion goals while at the same time maintaining our philosophy of 100% internal, merit-based promotion, we provide all new hires an opportunity to advance to management in a matter of months -- not years.

TMG, Incorporated started in March 2008 and is registered with the State of Indiana as a "C" corportion just like every other corporation in Indiana. No one at TMG or affiliated with TMG has ever heard of or met a person named "Linda Otterbeck". The other business named above are not affiliated with TMG, Inc. TMG is very confused on why or where this connection comes into play. TMG, Incorporated paid an accountant and lawyer to get incorporated and to help open the business. It might be possible that the account or the company's lawyer outsources it to "linda"?? It might be possible that the accountant or lawyer might work for other company's as well. TMG is not sure if this is the case or not, but clearly the individual who wrote this article is very confused.
The manager at TMG liked the Career Builder title "Killer Work Ethic Wanted - We Teach the Rest" and decided to use that because the firm does not want to work with Lazy people. TMG has no affiliation with the other companies that used that title. It is a good title that many other Sales and Marketing Firms has used. TMG has hired some of its best managers from that title.
We wish the best of luck to the individual who wrote this article, but want to remind them that online defamation is unethical and that the information they listed is not correct. We will not put them down, we just encourage them realize the ramifications of listing the information above that is not even close to the truth.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

This flight was booked on nov 19th for nov 20th, never received a call to say that flight had been canceled or anything nor did my daughter who booked it with a prepaid visa, about 1am on nov 20th I get a call from my other daughter telling me it had been canceled, the only reason she found out was because I ask her to make sure everything was set to go, so when I tried to find out why that happened nobody including least 3 supervisors so by 6:30 7am I had no choice but to do everything once again so I did what a mistake because I had my boarding pass in hand and arrived at airport by 5:05pm had daughter drop me off gave her my cell phone so my husband would have it,
I am thinking everything is good to go because i had called airline 1 hr before arriving just to be sure everything was ok they said it was ,yeah right! I get to counter give them my boarding pass and they tell me I can't fly unless I have person who paid for flight there with credit card and id well they were gone and I had no phone, I explained it was a prepaid visa from walmart and that I had to be on this flight I asked what we could do and she said if I gave $175 cash she would let me fly, what I had already paid for several flights that they had not refunded yet,
plus I didn't have that much cash, so I explained my situation for having to be on this flight. And she was very snotty and having a got u kind of smile, I asked what could we do,nothing she said and literally turned her nose up at me and walked away. I started having a panic attack not knowing what to do, so I asked to speak with her supervisor she smiled like that at me again and said that she was and walked away.(wow)panic attack really went into high gear,No matter what we did including my husband arriving within 15min of flight departure to pay once again.(driving from cocoa beach)said it was to late.
I have as well as my husband and 2 daughter talked with several script reading employees as well as supervisors who will do nothing to assit me in getting the money back quicker so I can get a flight thru someone else to at least be there for her recovery. In the meantime another supervisor that I spoke with and threatened him all kinds of things, he told me the reason for the first cancelation was a stolen card had been used(sure,prepaid card)so I asked him if that was the case then why once again did they book the last flight with a stolen card, and had also gotten a boarding pass with the same card he told me I did not I said I could prove it he then implied that I had printed up my own boarding. They need to b stopped!! Still Waiting

Big Game in Alaska: A History of Wildlife and People (Yale Western Americana Series)
The development of Alaskan wildlife management is an engrossing saga, and Morgan Sherwood's vivid writing brings to life the people and politics that shaped its course. A symbolic legal confrontation over hunting rights between General Simon Buckner and the Alaska Game Commission is at the center of this story of the conflict between hunters and those concerned for the hunted. Sherwood shows how attitudes and values in the lower forty-eight states affected federal wildlife policies in Alaska.

I at least want him to have to be supervised during visitation. He drove them to a gas station, got a pint of vodka and drank it and drove them around. The report says he couldn't even say his name and he blew a .361. I am desperate to protect my 1 and 3 yr old from this happening again! What are my chances and can I also get the help of DFS?

(Continued: Page 2 of 2)
Unlike Sync, Fuse doesn't offer any sort of onscreen feedback that we could find--for example, a list of available commands would be nice. Additionally, the spoken feedback's volume was fairly low relative to the volume of the audio or navigation commands and seemed to only be coming from the speaker in the passenger foot well. There may have been a way, but we couldn't find an obvious place to increase Fuse's volume.
You've no doubt noticed that we've made no fewer than two allusions to being unable to find controls for what should be basic functions. This is as good a place as any to bring up our beefs with the touch-screen interface of the Outlander's optional 40GB HDD Navigation System. Our issue being that nearly nothing is where you'd expect it to be. Of course, there are the obvious buttons for Audio and Navi that take you to the currently playing audio source and navigation system, respectively, but there are also separate buttons for Menu and Set, which take users to two very different menus. We spent about 5 minutes digging through these menus looking for Bluetooth controls before we found them hidden beneath a button labeled Info. That's just the physical buttons; we haven't even mentioned the array of soft keys found on the touch screen. It seemed that every time we went looking for an option, a frustrating 5-to-6-minute hunt would ensue.
Beyond the interface that was obviously designed by an engineer or committee, the Mitsubishi Multi Communication System--as it is called--is a modestly good cabin technology package. It checks a lot of the boxes we like to see filled with its HDD-based navigation with traffic service. iPod and USB integration is standard, while satellite radio is optionally rolled into the same premium package that gets you the panoramic glass roof. Of course, there's plenty of space on the 40GB HDD for the storage of ripped audio. Speccing the navigation package also nets a rearview camera, which takes advantage of the in-dash display when reversing.
We liked that the navigation system didn't lock out passenger inputs when the vehicle was in motion, but found ourselves continuously frustrated by the point-of-interest (POI) search process. When searching for a POI, such as "Target," we were presented with a list of locations for the entire state with no obvious way to know which was closest without knowing the city. In an area like San Francisco, where the nearest location is in a suburb of a different name, we found it nigh impossible to actually lock in the nearest store without a good deal of trial and error. Perhaps there was some hidden menu option for adjusting the display method for the POI search, but after nearly 20 minutes invested in searching the labyrinth of menus, we doubt it. Eventually, we deferred to searching for a location on a smartphone and entering the address into the Mitsubishi's nav. The process of entering an address was fine, thanks to the touch screen's lightning-fast registration of our inputs. For all of our complaints about the interface, we were never disappointed or left waiting for the system to catch up with our inputs or process a route.
However, the low point (literally, again) is the audio quality of the optional 710-watt Rockford Fosgate premium audio option. This nine-speaker system includes a 10-inch subwoofer prominently displayed in the rear cargo area and replaces the standard six-speaker rig in the SE trim level as part of the premium package that includes the glass roof. We wouldn't go so far as to call it a bad audio system. Rather, it's just a very specific one. Carrying the signature Rockford Fosgate sound, the premium audio option only really sounds good when listening to the sort of distortion-heavy, electro-pop bounce that's currently en vogue with the kids. While highs and mids aren't downright steamrolled by the bass, they are de-emphasized by this system, which does no favors to music requiring delicate acoustic sounds or vocals. If you're a fan of the songs that rely heavily on bass (for example, "Like a G6" by the Far East Movement), then you'll probably love this system. However, if you're looking for a more balanced sound from your music, then you'll find the thumpy Rockford Fosgate system to be an earful.
The Rockford Fosgate system does offer a number of options for adjusting the audio quality, including a four-band EQ with a dedicated Punch band (further emphasizing the brand's obsession with bass), a few virtual sound stages that are probably best left alone, and tone presets for a few different types of music, such as Flat, Hip Hop, Rock, Country, and Electronic. Curiously, we found that hip-hop music sounded best when using the Country preset, while our favorite country tracks were done no favors by any of the presets. Your tastes may vary.
Depending on your expectations going in, the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is either a fairly good value or a slight disappointment. We're leaning toward the former.
At its most basic and least expensive configuration, the $19,275 Outlander features a five-speed manual transmission that's sure to provide more driving thrills than we experienced with our CVT and better fuel economy than the competing Honda CR-V and Kia Sportage. Stepping up to the CVT nets you even more efficiency if you can learn to live with the rubbery acceleration--and, to be honest, we think that most drivers can.
With or without the optional AWC all-wheel drive system, our SE trim-level tester comes bundled with a respectable set of standard features for its $22,475 entry point, including the handy Fuse Hands-Free Link System, paddle shifters, and the Fast keyless entry and start transponder system that allows you to enter and start the vehicle without removing the key fob from your pocket or bag.
As tested, our 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE AWC rolls off of the line at $22,995. Navigation and rearview camera systems are bundled into a $2,000 package. However, before you can even spec nav, you'll have to have already added the $1,800 premium package, which adds the very cool panoramic roof with LED illumination, but also adds the iffy Rockford Fosgate premium audio system. We'd recommend you get used to the tooth-rattling bass and make the plunge. All in and with a $780 destination charge, our 2011 Outlander Sport tips the scales at $27,575--not a bad price when you consider that a similarly equipped Honda CR-V costs $30,675 (and is in need of a serious tech update). On the other hand, the slightly larger and more powerful Kia Sportage LX slips in at about $2,000 less than the Outlander's MSRP.

In the following interview, the CEO of ETP cites the low price of NG for company woes. The same with KMP?http://www.cnbc.com/id/47018278?__source=yahoo%7Cheadline%7Cquote%7Ctext%7C&par=yahoo
I heard the same report as well. I have read that ETP just doesn't have it together, and reading between the lines they must not have structured their NG contracts very well. It was a very sad interview to be honest and while anyone appreciates honesty, it was a investor relations disaster, then the guys goes and says we will need more money. I don't know I just wasn't convinced that ETP is a forboding for KMP.I read Morgan Stanley's MLP report, and while there rating on KMP is more or less hold, the target price remains $90 on the upper end. Also, you have to appreicate the number of business segments and types of fuels that KMP carries in its pipes and it is diversified mix. Moreover, the anaylsts have increased their estimates a bit for this quarter, so the key to KMP in the near term is how they will do on earnings comining up on the 19th of April (or whatever date they annouce), so we could all be plesently suprised, but KMP does miss the consensus. One other point is that I heard the there is a difference in price between Liquidfied Natural Gas and Natural Gas, so I don't totally understand pricisely what KMP pump through its pipes, but I just think there is some diversification in their earnings, whihc dwarfs ETP.Basically, ETP has a lot pipes, but does management really know how to structure deals for various products. I got the sense, they are too depending on NG. Pitiful for ETP.
You don't know the difference between Liquified natural gas and natural gas, or do you mean natural gas liquids and natural gas.I suspect the latter.Energy Transfer has been a very well run MLP for many years. They got hit with a double whammy. One, falling gas prices caused basis differentials to compress and in many cases disappear. As ETP wheels a lot more gas around within Texas (intrastate) vs interstate. Differentials are now basically as low as they can go zero. If they went below zero, that would be a differential.Two, propane has gotten slaughtered and ETP essentially started out as the old Heritage and Ray Davis and Kelcy Warren basically backed into it with some pipelines and took control. They grew the heck out of it for many years. Now they finally divested the propane ops to Amerigas and they bought Southern Union to give them interstate lines. They (ETP) bought the Louis Dreyfuss biz to get into NGLs. They (ETE) bought the GP of Regency to get into G&P and also to gain another low cost of capital vehicle.When all of the dust settles, ETP will be a good buy as it trades at a discount to the others. The drop downs will get ETP back to full coverage and back to growth, it will just take time.
KMP has primarily Interstate lines which are regulated and rates set by FERC. ETP has much Intrastate pipeline exposure which are unregulated and therefore more commodity price sensitive..Apples and Oranges

Skill Level Beginner
Typically in Lightroom, we start off by working with RAW files. Yet, we also work with other file formats like TIFF or PSD or JPEG. Now, what're some of the considerations when editing those files in Photoshop? How can we have a tight and seamless workflow when we have these different file formats? Well, that's exactly what we're going to talk about here. Now, this topic can be a little bit confusing. So what I'm going to do is use a few different images and kind of simulate walking through various steps.
What this will do is as we edit these files in Photoshop and come back to Lightroom, my hope is that this will make it clear. It'll show us why we might choose some of these different options or settings. Alright, let's start off with this image here. It's titled sara.tif. Now, this is a file that I worked on in another Photoshop Training Course in the lynda.com Training Library. This file now has two layers in it. It's a layered TIFF file. What I want to do is open this file up in Photoshop, because I want to apply an adjustment there.
Well, how can I do that? We can use our shortcut key. It's Command+E on Mac, Ctrl+E on Windows. This will open up this dialog. It's asking me, well, how do I want to edit this in Photoshop? Let's look at all three options, but start off by looking at Edit Original File. Well, if I want to edit the original file, I'll click Edit, it will open this file up. Here I am going to press F to go to Full Screen View mode, and then just double-click a little bit, so we can see this image a little bit more clearly.
Here we have the full layered file. Here are just two layers of background layer and then some sharpening applied to the top layer. Well, let's say that I want to apply another adjustment, a Black & White Conversion. I'll click on my Black & White icon here in the Adjustment panel and maybe just brighten up the reds. Now, my point here isn't to teach Photoshop but just to kind of simulate, making some sort of an adjustment. I'm choosing Black & White because it's really easy to see. Well, I'm ready to save and close this file. So I'm done with Photoshop, I go to File, I choose Save.
That will then save the file, and then I choose File and then Close. Well, if I go back to Lightroom here, we can see that now, this original file has been modified and Lightroom now knows it's been modified. That's what's great about Lightroom and Photoshop. They communicate. They get along. Yet, let's say I decide, you know what, I don't like the Black & White. I really liked it better in color. Well, no big deal. We simply reopen the file the same way we did previously. We press Command or Ctrl+E, edit that original file, we'll click Edit.
This will then open up the file here. I'm going to trash the Black & White layer, I don't like that, and then I'll go ahead and save and close this file, File > Save, and then File > Close. Then again, we go back to Lightroom and we can see Lightroom now is aware of those changes that we made in Photoshop. So here, all I'm trying to do is kind of illustrate this idea between how Photoshop, and Lightroom communicate together and also how we can choose the original file. Well, why would we choose that? Well, we would choose that if we haven't made any changes to the file inside of Lightroom.
We just have a file that is a TIFF file. We haven't touched it with Lightroom, or Lightroom controls and we just want to access that in Photoshop. Okay, well that's easy enough. Yet, what about the scenario say where you have a file that's a TIFF, PSD, or JPEG, and you've made changes to it in Lightroom? Well, what then are some of the options or considerations? Well, let's take a look at that and those scenarios in the next movie.
