After 30 mins, my account regularly signs out, it is the only profile on my xbox, and i have never had a problem with it until recently after my last box RROD. I got another console (an arcade), and this issue has popped up.
There arent any apparent issues with the box, and i am fully paid up on Gold until 2013 with good broadband capacity.
any help would be much appreciated
Hey there Trooper, sorry to hear about this issue! Have you had a chance to try re-downloading your profile yet? You can do so by selecting the 'download profile' option from the sign-in menu. Give that a try, and then let us know if it helps! :-)
Mister Fitzer - Xbox Community Engagement
I have downloaded my profile again, and the problem still occurs. I have narrowed it down to when I am watching anything on Netflix. Has anyone else had a problem with Netflix.
Hey there Trooper! My apologies about the signing out issue. Is this issue only occurring when you are on Netflix? If so, could you try and delete, then re-download the app and let us know if that resolves the issue? Thanks! :)
Xbox Community Ambassador
I have deleted and redownloaded the app, and this issue persists.
However, instead of it happening every 30 mins, it has become more random.
Greetings, the trooper. Does this happen when you log in with a different gamertag or is it just limited to yours? You may also want to try clearing your cache by following these instructions: support.xbox.com/.../clear-system-cache. Hope this helps! Keep us posted.
How to use the forumsRetired Support Agent - No PMs please!
It's just limited to my gamertag, I only have one tag on my xbox.
Hey there Trooper. Including to what Mister Darcy said, have you tried at all to see if this issue occurs on another Gamertag? If possible, do you think you can create another account to see if it has the same issues with your new account as well? Thanks! :)
I've checked on another account, and its the same. The issue has now spread to other apps (BBC Iplayer and 4od). I'm now starting to tear my hair out.
Hi there Trooper! Thanks for letting us know about that. Also, did you try Mister Darcy's suggestion? If so, how did that go for ya buddy? Thanks! :)

ScriptSpot is a diverse online community of artists and developers who come together to find and share scripts that empower their creativity with 3ds Max. Our users come from all parts of the world and work in everything from visual effects to gaming, architecture, students or hobbyists.
Register for free and be part of the community!
Creates a sliding window from a selection of Rectangles. This script takes the rectangles and fills the interior with a Sliding window flush with the rectangle. Make sure to change the 'include script' path statement to reflect you 3ds max location
This is a free script, for non commercial use.
This is the perfect script to transfer your models from 3ds Max to ZBrush/Unity/UDK/...Basically it batch exports objects to multiple files.Supported formats : max, obj, fbx, 3ds, ase, dwf, dwg, dxf, dae.
As the mcg installation process was pretty convoluted, I decided to redo the InsetBySmoothingGroup modifier in maxscript - the speed is the same and you don't have to care about different versions of max behaving different, connecting disconnected nodes and all that stuff. Now it's just one .ms file, and there's no vertex weld needed either.
This small script will allow you to change the assigned texture extensions from one type to another either globally or to selected objects, the reason why I created this tool is you might face one of the following scenarios:
This script is useful only for script writers.
This is just simple function to get selected materials / textures / controllers from active view in SME.
Function returns materials :) - not names of materials.
Creates surface defined by four splines. The order of picking the splines matters - they should form a closed loop. If you get a weird looking mesh, try once again starting with another of the four splines:
Note that if any of the splines are animated, the resulting mesh is animated, too.
This script is designed for a quick Slice on the Editable Poly surface with certain Distance and Step. And also it's possible to create Tiles quickly.
New - ++ All Assets ++
New - Auto relink selected files.
Bitmap Tracking / Resizing... is tool similar to Asset Tracking. But it gives more possibility to work with bitmaps:
- Support for All Assets now- Sort files by name, image width, height, file size, path, gamma, texture name, status (Found - network, Found - local, Not found)- Resize selected bitmaps to 2k, 1k, 512, 256, 128, 64px and save in new folder (not available in demo) - easy batch resize and reconect selected bitmaps (by size) before sending to external renderfarm, - resize bitmaps in large animation sceens to reduce memory ussage,- Convert... see below- Change / Rename paths (with paths history and rename path prefix eg. change only server/drive letter) * Choose from path from history (already used paths in curent project) * Pick new path * Batch rename paths beginng ( drive letter or paths C:\sample\abc\ and rename them to Z:\3d\sample\abc\ ) - And More...
This script try to fix the problem created with the 2014 version when Autodesk remove the "lock zoom and pan" option from the background menu. It creates a "Virtual Studio" in a very easy way with planes that are frozen but still visible and far away so they are not annoying in the perspective view. It is a must have for any modeler that want to use reference images.
"Clear all declared vars (i.e set = undefined) so scope can be tested without having to close/reload MAX! * This script is for MAXScripters to use during code development."

In theory, it should not be good news for a high-flying emerging markets ETF when the market tracked by the fund reports first-quarter GDP growth that was 2.2 percent below what was seen in the fourth quarter. Perhaps it should be even worse that the country's 2013 GDP forecast has been lowered.
Neither of those factors are holding back the iShares MSCI Thailand Capped Investable Market Index Fund (NYSEARCA:THD) Monday. THD, which was sitting on a year-to-date gain of 11.6 percent heading into Monday's session, is up another 1.4 percent today despite some disappointing GDP news out of Thailand.
Thailand's National Economic and Social Development Board said the country's first-quarter GDP growth was 5.3 percent. That sounds good by the standards of the developed world, but that was also a 2.2 percent seasonally-adjusted drop from the fourth quarter, according to a Thai media outlet.
The National Economic and Social Development Board also pared its 2013 growth outlook to 4.2 percent to 5.2 percent from a prior forecast of 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent, citing a slow global economic recovery, sluggish growth in export prices and a strong baht.
All of that should be bad news for THD, an ETF that while impressive relative to the broader emerging markets universe this year has had to deal with some domestic political controversy. However, in a sign of its strength and the rate-cut-a-week environment in which the market lives these days, THD is not being dragged lower by the slack GDP news.
The reason is obvious: With the strong baht weighing on Thai economic growth, it is widely expected that the Bank of Thailand will join the interest rate reduction club, a group populated by other emerging markets such as India and Turkey.
Last month, BoT lowered its inflation forecast to 2.7 percent, giving the central bank even more room to pare rates. With the baht hovering near 16-year highs against the dollar, export-dependent Thailand may have no choice to lower rates from the current level of 2.75 percent.
Forget the piddly 25-basis point cuts many central banks have recently been using. Royal Bank of Scotland is forecasting a 50-basis point reduction when BoT meets on May 29, according to The Nation.
"We think that, given tepid energy and commodity prices, inflation may stay manageable. This, coupled with slower growth, leads us to expect a rate cut instead of our earlier expectation of a 25bps rate hike by the second half of 2013," said RBS, The Nation reported.
Onshore swaps and yields on Thai sovereign bonds due 2015 declined as speculation of a rate cut increased Monday. It is THD that is on the receiving end of the rate cut anticipation ebullience. Already one of the top-performing ETFs of any stripe since the March 2009 market bottom, THD has pummeled the broader emerging markets universe this year despite clarion calls that that Thai equities are expensive.
That may be the case, but THD comes with an often ignored point of allure. The ETF's one-year correlations to the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (NYSEARCA:EEM) and the iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund (NYSEARCA:FXI) are just 0.54 and 0.48, respectively, according to iShares data.

Prejudice on Campus
The more READABLE version: DP repeats prejudicial ad
DP repeats prejudicial ad
As regular readers of The Daily Pennsylvanian, we have only been genuinely surprised twice. The first was when we were fooled as freshmen by the April Fools' edition, and the second occurred last semester, when the DP ran a full-page advertisement replete with the lowest of bellicose rhetoric.
After reading the Sept. 13 edition of the DP, we not only question but deplore the lack of judgment that a campus paper as lauded as the DP would, for the second semester in a row, publish an advertisement that runs contrary to the spirit of not only our University but also to that of journalism itself.
Any organization such as the DP must necessarily raise funds to continue its operations, and we fully understand that point. However, we must remind the editors of the DP that accepting money to publish such hate-filled propaganda and bigotry against others is an endorsement and a clear political statement about what it does and does not deem as hate speech.
The DP would never, for example, run an advertisement from the Ku Klux Klan claiming ambiguous phrases of freedom were forms of "white hatred" and that African Americans were somehow trying to wage genocide. The DPwould never run an advertisement from the Westboro Baptist Church stating "God hates fags" or "Thank God for 9/11." Why, then, does it insist on repeatedly printing full-page advertisements of hatred, bigotry and propaganda that alienates individuals and denigrates meaningful scholarship?
What sort of environment and community does the DP hope to foster? One of alienation toward Muslims and Arabs? Why is the absence of critical academic engagement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict being substituted by polemical and hate-filled intolerance? An advertisement, by its very nature, is a one-sided propagation to influence behavior more so than to facilitate communal dialogue.
This advertisement is an attempt to isolate and target human beings within our community; its only agenda is to provoke hate and elicit prejudice. With the recent rise of Islamophobia in the wake of 9/11, such irresponsibility on the part of the DP to publish this ad is seen as a means of discrimination and an affront on the safety of Muslims and Arabs, as well as those who may be mistaken for either Muslim or Arab.
The spirit of the University of Pennsylvania, to us, espouses and fosters pluralism, critical thinking, academic engagement with issues and social justice — and we are wholly ashamed of The Daily Pennsylvanian in its irresponsible decision to publish such baleful rhetoric.
An apology by the DP is not only in order, but — in the future — editors should exercise better judgment and express a modicum of sagacity in their advertisement decisions. Newspapers, as a form of journalism, should not be in the business of politics, but rather in truth-telling and honest reporting. One word for the wise is enough, and two words for the not-so-wise are more than plenty.

Injuries are a fact of life, but those that have hit the England squad seriously threaten to undermine Stuart Lancaster's plans leading up to the World Cup.
The head coach is in the throes of building a competitive squad with strength in depth in all positions. He has made considerable progress since having to make a standing start after the disappointment of the 2011 World Cup, but it is a process that takes time and careful judgment. Lancaster's deadline is the 2015 tournament in England. Failure then may lead to questions about his position and someone else reaping the rewards

What's hot
Siam Centre goes pop
Siam Centre is hosting a farewell party tonight to send its disciples off in style as the mall shuts its doors for a five-month renovation.
The free mini concert, which kicks off at 7 at Atrium 2 on the ground floor, features Pongsak "Off" Rattanapong, Ekkachai "Ekky" Euysangkomset and ETC.
While the renovation is going on, Siam Centre will have pop-up boutiques selling more than 50 fashion brands in Siam Discovery Centre and Siam Paragon as well as stylist mini-bars in Discovery Plaza.
Keying in to carry
Inspired by the digital world, American designer Jeremy Scott stamps a multi-colour keyboard print on Longchamp bags for autumn 2012.
For his 12th collaboration with the French leather goods brand, Scott continues to surprise with his offbeat style and sense of humour.
A graduated of Pratt Institute in New York, Scott created his own clothing brand and set off to conquer Paris in 1997. He has designed costumes for superstars like Bjork, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Rihanna and Beyonce and has been collaborating with Longchamp since 2007.
The Jeremy Scott collection is available at the Longchamp flagship store in Siam Paragon.
Hats off to Ralph Lauren
The US Olympic team will step out with Gallic-like berets at the opening of the London games, as part of their crisp uniforms designed by Ralph Lauren.
Lauren, the official outfitter of the US Olympic and Paralympic teams, is giving the entire team blue blazers - double-breasted for the men - with the official team patch and the designer's signature pony motif.
They'll be matched with cream skirts and trousers, and topped with navy berets accented with red and white stripes.
Lauren also designed the US team outfits for the Beijing games in 2008 and the Vancouver winter games in 2010.

When you no longer work full time and professional attire is no longer required, it should be a happy time in your life. The truth is, it can be pretty stressful instead. It's hard to know what to wear on the weekend, and other times when you don't have to get dressed up to go to work.
Create an Effortless Weekend Look
What should you wear on the weekends, when you don't need to look professional or dressy? According to VN members, jeans are one of your best options for casual wear. Look for jeans that fit your body and follow your curves. Well-fitting clothes are always more flattering than something that's too loose or too tight, so take the time to find something that matches your shape.
Pair your jeans with T-shirts to complete your casual look. VN member Gramma likes shirts that are "cotton, V neck and 3/4 length sleeves." The V-neck collar is form-flattering, and more comfortable than crew-neck T-shirts. When you need clothing that's a little warmer, try Gramma's solution. "Whether summer or winter," she gets herself a "light sweater in any color and I am set!"
T-shirts aren't easy for everyone to wear. VN member DarTo has muffin top issues, something to which many women can relate. She wears a "great colored cami" under a blouse, and pairs it with jeans or twill pants.
"The muffin top requires a button down blouse – it hides a multitude of sins," advises VN member Robin Donovan, of Menologues. "Make sure it's a little on the longer side," she adds. VN member brandas8 wears dark denim with a white blouse, which looks slimming.
Add some light make-up, maybe a little gloss and mineral powder, and choose comfortable shoes. Flats and sandals are always appropriate for a casual weekend look.
What to Wear Now
When you're no longer working full-time, your closet might stop being your friend. It greets you with dark colors, work-appropriate jackets and high heels that aren't made for walking. Start collecting new wardrobe pieces to put together a perfect look that's not designed for the office.
"I don't think you can go wrong with casual, loose, comfortable linen," suggests VN member riversong. In cooler weather, look for pieces like a "fisherman sweater, sweaters in tweeds." Wear them with jeans and cords, and you'll be good to go.
"I'm so looking forward to dressing down and still looking sharp," said VN member Friscochick. "My action plan? Wearing jeans with longer tops and funky jewelry… Clothes express who I am and what I like. Right now, I definitely like relaxed."
Shopping can be an expensive hobby, so many VN members go to thrift stores and consignment shops, like the Salvation Army, to hunt for buried fashion treasure. If you're handy with a needle, you can alter your finds to get a better fit and a look that's even more "you."
Tips for Everyday Glamor
Many women struggle with finding the balance between their polished, professional look and a completely frumpy look. You don't want to get buttoned up in a suit every day, but you're still an attractive and vibrant woman. There is a happy medium, and VN member The Glam Gals shared some helpful tips to help you find it.
"Try leggings plus a dress," The Glam Gals suggested. "Short, flowing mini-dresses worn with bare legs and heels look great on twenty- and thirty-year-olds, but that doesn't mean they are off limits to women over 40 and 50."
"Add a wide belt to your casual weekend outfit," the Gals added. "A wide belt worn loosely at the hip on a slight angle will instantly add a touch of the wow factor." This is also a useful way to hide your belly!
They also suggest flat shoes for a casual look, and a sweater wrap for a layered look. A sweater wrap is flattering and very stylish. And instead of your fancy office jewelry, try some interesting costume jewelry instead. "Some bold costume jewelry and all of a sudden your casual look has gone chic," explained the Glam Girls.
Finding Your Style
Casual doesn't mean that your clothes should be swimming on you. Wardrobe pieces can still fit loosely and look great without being oversized. Great fit always creates a better look. The Huffington Post explored the topic of fit and color in an article about how today's modern, over-50 women dress.
When you no longer work full-time, or start shopping for weekend clothes, it's your chance to find your own personal style. Take the opportunity to experiment with new pieces and new colors, and let your personality shine through your fashion choices. If you feel good about what you're wearing, you really can't go wrong.

Police say 2 of 3 drug suspects turn themselves in
Third person being sought
Published 11:22 PM EDT Oct 02, 2012
Lancaster police said its new crime reduction initiative launched Monday night convinced two drugs suspects to turn themselves in.
Under the program, the suspects are being offered a second chance to turn their lives around and avoid an impending arrest by voluntarily surrendering to police.
Police said the third person who failed to take police up on the offer will face arrest.

The attachment of lysine 48 (Lys(48))-linked polyubiquitin chains to proteins is a universal signal for degradation by the proteasome. Here, we report that long Lys(48)-linked chains are resistant to many deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). Representative enzymes from this group, Ubp15 from yeast and its human ortholog USP7, rapidly remove mono- and diubiquitin from substrates but are slow to remove longer Lys(48)-linked chains. This resistance is lost if the structure of Lys(48)-linked chains is disrupted by mutation of ubiquitin or if chains are linked through Lys(63). In contrast to Ubp15 and USP7, Ubp12 readily cleaves the ends of long chains, regardless of chain structure. We propose that the resistance to many DUBs of long, substrate-attached Lys(48)-linked chains helps ensure that proteins are maintained free from ubiquitin until a threshold of ubiquitin ligase activity enables degradation.

Reininger Walla Walla Seven Hills Carmenere 09
$34.95 Regular
2007 Vintage Wine Advocate - 92 points - The 2007 Carmenere was sourced from the Seven Hills Vineyard. It offers up a hint of herbs, balsamic, cassis, and blueberry (but no green notes whatsoever). Dense, plush and structured on the palate, this pleasure-bent offering will be at its best from 2013 to 2022. - Jay Miller
Our Seven Hills Vineyard Carmenere has come of age, shedding its masculine punch to reveal a beautifully sculptured elegance bearing its Walla Walla typicity. Meat, dark fruit, peppercorn, a whiff of round vanilla toast atop an underlayer of earthy loess intrigues the nose. She struts the palate catwalk with a perfect balance of acidity while delivering eye-catching flavors of black cherry, unsweetened fig compote laced with white pepper and a pinch of cinnamon and clove. All of this, while confidently portraying her sumptuous, soft roundness and mouth feel. This vision refuses to fade. - the winery

using the IP address of 192.168.1.42 it says that its the laser. But if I
ping using the printer name of laser I get an IP address of 18.104.22.168
which says its p1-ha-hf-cluster.medialogik.com. The same thing happens if I
ping the System. If I ping 192.168.1.47 I get the System name but if I ping
the System name I get the same IP address of 188.8.131.52 which says its
p1-ha-hf-cluster.medialogik.com. The /etc/hosts file does not contain either
the IP address or this Name. If I search the Internet for
p1-ha-hf-cluster.medialogik.com I hit on the medialogik.com website which
deals with Domain registration and Web hosting. The ifconfig -a gives a
net0 address of 192.168.1.47 How do I remove this 22.214.171.124 address and

Visible and near-infrared spectra from the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) camera have been used to characterize the color and infer the composition and physical nature of the Pathfinder landing site. The range of colors and albedos of materials at the Pathfinder landing site is similar to that observed in Viking Orbiter and HST images of Mars, but precise comparisons are hampered by the effects of atmospheric scattering in these data sets and differences in the effective wavelengths of the images. Such comparisons will allow the spectral units observed at the Pathfinder landing site to be placed into a global geologic context, and the composition, physical properties, and origins of Martian surface units to be inferred. We will report on our progress toward achieving these objectives by calibrating, modeling, and analyzing IMP multispectral observations of various surface materials and comparing them to the color and albedo units observed by the Viking Orbiter cameras, the WF/PC2 on HST, and the MOC wide-angle cameras on MGS. In addition, our results will be compared with those of previous studies of the spectral reflectance of materials observed at the Viking landing sites. These analyses will help to determine the relative importance and timing of geologic processes that have affected the Pathfinder landing site, and therefore constrain the geologic history of the site. The relationships between various spectral units, as observed at the Pathfinder landing site, may be extrapolated to infer the stratigraphic relations between these units regionally and perhaps globally. This new information will show where various processes are currently or were recently active on Mars, and constrain the rates of aeolian deposition and erosion of surface materials.
This research is supported by the NASA Mars Data Analysis Program.

You may express yourself with lots of energy today, sharing your excitement and high spirits with those around you. But if you have a lot of work to get done, or have a big event coming up, you could let your enthusiasm run away with you, leading you to feel keyed up. Rather than letting nervousness spoil your excitement, you can choose to focus on the moment and enjoy it for what it is. Sometimes we have expectations that can keep us from appreciating the moment as it happens. At some point, you will have completed all the preparation that can be done, and then you can shift your focus to enjoying yourself. Today you can allow your excitement to express through you, while also remaining focused on the experience.
When we have a lot of energy, we can make the choice to use it to its greatest advantage. By choosing our priorities, we can make sure our energy gets put to good use and is invested in making our lives more enjoyable. During a special event, we can choose to direct our energy in ways that will help us to stay focused and fully present in the moment. We can tell ourselves before the event that we want to remember every moment and make the conscious effort to breathe deeply to keep ourselves centered. Today, your excitement may make you want to move quickly, but you can choose to be conscious and deliberate to fully experience all that each moment has to offer.

Pulmonary fibrosis.
The diagnosis three years ago was tantamount to a death sentence for Bonnie Kidwell of Eminence.
For some time, Kidwell, now 57, had had problems breathing. When the situation worsened, she was treated for pneumonia. When that treatment failed to work, she was hospitalized. The doctors still believed she was fighting pneumonia, but after a week with no improvement, the tests began.
For many area residents, it just isn't Christmas without a visit to the living nativity scene in Bethlehem.
The event, which has been held every year since 1959, is sponsored by the tiny city's three churches – Bethlehem Baptist, Bethlehem United Methodist and Point Pleasant Christian.
Henry County Animal Control officials on Monday, Dec. 12, seized more than 100 dogs and as many as 100 other animals from buildings on a property located at 25 Allison Lane in rural Campbellsburg.
The animals were being kept in crates and cages in a single-wide trailer, a camper, outdoor kennels and a large outbuilding.
The stench emanating from the property could be detected from the road.
The skills taught throughout 4-H prepare youth for community involvement, with the idea that good leaders give back to their community in a variety ways.
Community service, through 4-H involves service learning in which youth learn a skill or skills and apply it to a service project. This traditional approach to service applies to clubs at the county level, and for some youth, can lead to the national conference and/or the 4-H Congress.
The big news out of the Kentucky Farm Bureau meeting last week is that farm cash receipts are likely to exceed $5 billion for the first time, up from $4.4 billion in 2010. With improvement in returns in corn, soybeans, wheat, cattle, horses, hogs and dairy, net farm income is expected to rebound back above $1 billion in 2011, compared to $780 million in 2010.
175 Years Ago
In the early years of Kentucky, when fences were very rare, it was legal to "take up" and care for stray farm animals. The finder reported the stray to the sheriff who listed the animal along with a description in the stray book. If an owner was not found for the animal the finder could keep it. If the owner was found he could pay the finder for keeping the animal and take it back.
Library receives $2,100 state grant
The Henry county library has received a Kentucky state aid grant of $2,100, Fred Thompson, president of the library board, announced Monday.
State aid for library and bookmobile service is awarded yearly on an achievement basis. This year's grant to Henry County includes $1,000 which is received annually as a result of the successful Library District vote.

Rose always strikes me as an evening scent and very mature, this is just my general impression. And from someone who isn't a big rose fan, Miss Charming is nice and light enough that it doesn't bother me—in fact, I kind of enjoy it. This doesn't strike me as an overwhelmingly mature, ROSE perfume because I sense a sort of clean/modern musk (almost fabric softenerish?) and even the tiniest hint of baby powder. The ingredients include Moroccan rose, musks and wild fruits, which I can't name but can barely detect. I think the whole composition is put together well and is very feminine. Longevity is good (makes it through the entire work day and I can even smell faint whiffs of it here and there on a scarf the next day), and the scent stays close to the skin on me. For someone who isn't into the heavy rose scents, or want a more modern yet slightly traditional smelling rose, I'd recommend Miss Charming. $80 for 50mL in a cute, but simple white bottle.
To be fair, I received a sample as a thank you for an order I placed; it came in a lovely envelope package with a tiny insert describing what the perfume is about…I didn't pay for this and would never have chosen to sample but I'm happy to have the opportunity to wear it. I'll finish my sample but won't buy.

By: William Cripe Sr. A "Christian view" of immigration is challenging. I openly confess, sometimes my "Americanism" clouds my Christianity.

In reality, the Bible does not deal with it directly. By …

What musical production has narrators singing do-wop, a flesh-eating plant, a star-crossed romance and a sadistic dentist? That would be "Little Shop of Horrors," which is to be staged this weekend at Carey High School.
The setting for the story is a run-down, "Skid Row" floral shop in the 1950s. The owner, Mr. Mushnick, has two overworked employees, the nerdy Seymour and Audrey, a young woman with "a past." Cast in these roles are Devon Huffman, Levi Hill and Jessica Wyatt, respectively.
The foster son of Mushnick, Seymour also is in love with Audrey, but she is dating an abusive man, Orin, played by Ben Kromer. Audrey fears what Orin might do to her if she broke up with him.
Article Photos
After a radio interview, Seymour (Levi Hill) carries Audrey II to meet Mr. Mushnick (Devon Huffman) and the do-wop singers.
A ballet dramatizes her vision of an idyllic life in the suburbs with Seymour as she sings "Somewhere That's Green."
Seymour also would like to break away from his dead-end existence, but he feels obligated to stay with the man who rescued him from a home for boys and put him to work in the shop.
Serving as narrators are six singing women, Taylor Fletcher, Serenity Hooper, Mackenzie Stover, Sarah Goble, Sadie Vaughn and Allison Keller. They deliver the title song and take on various roles in the play.
Fact Box
If you go
Performances of "Little Shop of Horrors" are at 8 p.m. today through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Carey High School.
Tickets are $7 in advance and $8 at the door.
For more details or reservations, call the school at (419) 396-7638.
The action heats up with Seymour's discovery of a mysterious plant he buys from a street vendor and nurtures at the shop. Placed in the front window, the unusual specimen draws attention from passers-by. Many of them actually come into the store and buy flowers, which pleases the owner.
Seymour names the plant Audrey II because he cannot identify it from any references. Even though Seymour has cared for it, the plant keeps wilting for no obvious reason.
After Seymour sings "Grow For Me," he pricks his finger on some rose thorns. Audrey II immediately perks up at the bleeding finger, and Seymour reluctantly gives the plant a few drops of blood before leaving the shop.
During the next few days, he comes to work with bandaged fingers, and the plant begins a growth spurt. Word spreads and Seymour becomes a local celebrity. Mushnick decides he should adopt Seymour and share in the wealth the young man might generate.
On his part, Seymour believes Mushnick is sincere and credits Audrey II with his good fortune.
The "Dentist" scene is loaded with horror and humor as Orin reveals his obsession with his profession. When Orin stops at the floral shop to pick up Audrey, the plant takes a special liking to him.
To Seymour's amazement, Audrey II starts talking and demanding, "Feed me." She persuades Seymour to find a way to get fresh blood for her. He eventually resorts to murder to keep himself from becoming dinner for the voracious carnivore.
Jackie Fletcher voices the plant and Jacob Goble handles the puppetry.
Another highlight from the show is "Suddenly Seymour" in which Audrey realizes Seymour's good qualities; however, the audience does not get a typical happy ending from this fable.
The story seeks to illustrate the dangers of dishonesty, greed and violence. These can escalate, evolve into evil and engulf one's life.
Peter Cole is the voice of the narrator. Students in minor roles include Laila Gernert, Miranda Conley, Aubrie Fletcher, Evan Hyatt, Anthony Driggers, Chase Wagner, Jack Yeater, Lily Arredondo, Baylee Kilgore and Ashlynn Caudill.
In addition to those named previously, the chorus includes Joanna Worst, Carlie Coppler, Diana Nordyke, Christian Stewart, Dakota Conley, Julia Allison, Brionna Imhoff, Uriel Garcia, Aaron Vantrease, Ally Ruehle, Jaylyn Gardner and Brianna Woldrich.

Two El Paso Hospitals Face Federal Prosecution for Violating Nurses' Rights
Union and hospital officials entered into underhanded agreement to foist union representation on nurses
El Paso, TX (December 19, 2012) – Two local hospitals are facing a federal prosecution for denying access to nurses opposed to unionization while giving union organizers preferential access in order to unionize the nurses.
In the wake of federal charges filed by two nurses with free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regional office in Phoenix issued formal complaints against Tenet Hospitals Ltd. and its two hospitals in El Paso, Providence Memorial Hospital and Sierra Medical Center.
California Nurses Association-affiliated National Nurses Organizing Committee (NNOC) union officials entered into a "neutrality agreement" with Tenet designed to grease the skids for the nurses' unionization. Tenet was applying that agreement when it took its illicit action to discriminate against nurses opposed to NNOC union representation.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - At the Olympic opening ceremony, Sting will have a little backup vocal support - from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
The Feb. 8 event that kicks off the Winter Olympics also will feature the Dixie Chicks, country singer LeAnn Rimes, Rita Coolidge and Robbie Robertson, former member of The Band.
Other performers will be Grammy award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma, a local six-man a cappella group called Eclipse and Utah's Deseret String Band, which played cowboy tunes at the 1998 Nagano Games.
All the artists will be paid only minimal amounts for their brief Olympic performances.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A 62-year-old French chef has sued Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, saying he was fired as executive chef because of his age.
Hired in August 2000, Bernard Goupy said he got a verbal promise from Mar-a-Lago managing director Bernard Lembcke that he would receive $80,000 for one year of work, according to court documents.
Goupy, whose executive chef credits include the Hilton hotel chain in the Middle East and the Caribbean's Wyndham hotels, was fired after six months at Mar-a-Lago and replaced by a chef in his 30s.
John Mellencamp: The singer's home builder has been sentenced for overbilling him.

Celine Dion and her manager-husband, Rene Angelil, since have hired him as their personal chef at their Jupiter home.
Goupy's lawsuit, filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, seeks back pay and damages of $40,000.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A home builder who pleaded guilty to overbilling John Mellencamp received a four-year suspended sentence Tuesday and was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.
Timothy O. Eldredge pleaded guilty to a felony charge of theft of $134,471 by falsified billing invoices in an effort to bilk the singer and his wife, model Elaine Mellencamp, said Roger Rayl, a spokesman for the Marion County prosecutor's office.
The couple had hired The Eldredge Group of Indianapolis to build a $2.5 million home near Lake Monroe south of Bloomington.
Eldredge gave the Mellencamps a $98,000 check on Tuesday to complete paying restitution, Rayl said.
Marion Superior Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt also sentenced the 53-year-old to four years on probation and 400 hours of community service.

Basic Principles of Ion Chromatography
Basic process of IC
The basic process of chromatography using ion exchange can be represented in 5 steps: eluent loading, sample injection, separation of sample, elution of analyte A, and elution of analyte B, shown and explained below. Elution is the process where the compound of interest is moved through the column. This happens because the eluent, the solution used as the solvent in chromatography, is constantly pumped through the column. The chemical reactions below are for an anion exchange process. (Eluent ion = , Ion A= , Ion B = )
Step 1: The eluent loaded onto the column displaces any anions bonded to the resin and saturates the resin surface with the eluent anion.
(key: Eluent ion = , Ion A= , Ion B = )
This process of the eluent ion (E-) displacing an anion (X-) bonded to the resin can be expressed by the following chemical reaction:
Resin+-X- + E- <=> Resin+-E- + X-
Step 2: A sample containing anion A and anion B are injected onto the column. This sample could contain many different ions, but for simplicity this example uses just two different ions ready to be injected onto the column.
Step 3: After the sample has been injected, the continued addition of eluent causes a flow through the column. As the sample elutes (or moves through the column), anion A and anion B adhere to the column surface differently. The sample zones move through the column as eluent gradually displaces the analytes.
Question to consider: How would you write the chemical reaction for elution process with respect to anion A and anion B. How would you write the Kf expression for the two reactions? How would you sketch the elution process at this step using a figure similar to the figure in Step 1 if the Kf for anion A() is larger than the Kf for anion B()?

TINICUM — People who have been laid off or need retraining for a new pursuit needn't spend hours searching for work as an electrical power engineer, boiler operator, carpenter or plumber.
They can enroll at the Academy of Industrial Training, receive a stipend while attending classes and have a good chance of finding work.
For example, 79 people enrolled recently in the academy's training program for railroad car repair work for Conrail. Seventy-seven completed the course and found work starting at nearly $14 an hour plus benefits, said Edwin E. Scully, the academy's director for program development.

China Economist Sees Inflation Risk
China's Inflation Risk
DAVOS, Switzerland—Inflation is the main concern in China's economy in 2013, and regulators should also move to deal with risks from wealth-management products and China's burgeoning stock of money, said a former adviser to China's central bank.
"The main concern in 2013 is on prices" said Li Daokui, an economist at Tsinghua University and former academic member of China's monetary policy committee. Mr. Li thinks that inflation for 2013 could average around 4% for the year, with a peak of 5% or more in the second half. That considerably higher than a 2.6% increase in prices in 2012.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Mr. Li said he sees growth in China's gross domestic product at 8.1% to 8.3% in 2013, a slight acceleration from 7.8% growth in 2012. Stronger growth could also contribute to a resurgence in China's property prices. "House prices could surprise people," he said.
Rising prices could push China's central bank to start tightening policy mid-year, Mr. Li said, with use of open market operations to drain liquidity the most likely mechanism. Movements on interest rates, if required, would come through liberalization of rates, rather than movement in the benchmark rate, Mr. Li said.
The rapid growth in China's wealth-management product sector represented a risk to the economy, Mr. Li said. Wealth-management products—short-term investments that offer some of the security of a deposit with higher interest rates—have grown rapidly in the past few years to equal more than 10% of the deposits in the banking system, according to some estimates.
"Wealth-management products represent a dangerous development, and have to be under better regulation," Mr. Li said. He saw them as a way for banks to bypass government controls on the quantity of loans. "A better approach would be for banks to sell some of their loans to the bond market, that way banks would have more cash to lend, and households could see a better return on their income through investing in bonds," he said.
A potentially even greater challenge for China's financial regulators is dealing with the burgeoning stock of money. "China's stock of money is by far the world's largest, higher than the U.S. dollar, higher than the euro, higher than yen. Having such a huge supply of money is like a lake above you," Mr. Li said. An overblown stock of money raises the risk that China will face high inflation, asset price bubbles, or a destabilizing outflow of capital, Mr. Li said.
The solution, Mr. Li said, was a larger role for China's bond market relative to the banking sector, and a gradual opening of the capital account, to allow Chinese households to diversify their assets into other countries and currencies.
An exchange rate that is close to equilibrium value, in Mr. Li's estimation, should make gradual opening of the capital account easier. China's trade surplus grew in 2012, but Mr. Li saw the long-term trend as a reduced surplus. He said,"2012 was an exception. Rising wages and falling competitiveness will drive the trade surplus down."
Even so, Mr. Li saw the potential for around 2% yuan appreciation against the dollar in 2013 and again in 2014. "There is long-term chronic pressure for the yuan to gain against the dollar," he said. "The U.S. monetary base has expanded so rapidly that, as a long term trend, most currencies will appreciate against the dollar," he said.

A View Back at Viking
|A view of the boulder-strewn field of red rocks reaches to the horizon nearly two miles from Viking 2 on Mars' Utopian Plain. Image credit: NASA
Thirty years after the first successful landing on Mars by NASA's Viking spacecraft, the ambitious mission continues to evoke pride and enthusiasm for future space exploration.
NASA's Viking 1 and 2 missions to Mars, each consisting of an orbiter and a lander, became the first space probes to obtain high resolution images of the Martian surface, characterize the structure and composition of the atmosphere and surface, and conduct on-the-spot biological tests for life on another planet.
Viking 1 was launched August 20, 1975, and arrived at Mars June 19, 1976. On July 20, 1976, the Viking 1 lander separated from the orbiter and touched down at Chryse Planitia. Viking 2 was launched September 9, 1975, and entered Mars orbit August 7, 1976. The Viking 2 lander touched down at Utopia Planitia September 3, 1976.
"The Viking team didn't know the Martian atmosphere very well, we had almost no idea about the terrain or the rocks, and yet we had the temerity to try to soft land on the surface," recalled Gentry Lee, Solar System Exploration chief engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We were both terrified and exhilarated. All of us exploded with joy and pride when we saw that we had indeed landed safely."
"The Viking mission looms like a legendary giant, an incredible success against which all present and future missions will be measured," said Doug McCuiston, Mars Exploration Program director at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
Originally designed to function for 90 days, the Viking spacecraft continued collecting data for more than six years. The landers accumulated 4,500 up-close images of the Martian surface. The accompanying orbiters provided more than 50,000 images, mapping 97 percent of the planet. Measurements of the atmosphere and surface of Mars obtained by the orbiters and landers are still being analyzed and interpreted.

Viking provided the first measurements of the atmosphere and surface of Mars. The data suggested early Mars was very different from the present day planet. Viking performed the first successful entry, descent and landing on Mars. Derivations of a Viking-style thermal protection system and parachute have been used on every U.S. Mars lander mission, including Mars Pathfinder and the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity.
NASA's Langley Research Center, Hampton, Va., managed the Viking Program. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory built the orbiters, provided the deep space network and managed the science mission. NASA's Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, designed the Atlas/Centaur rockets that propelled the spacecraft on their journey. NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., provided the launch facility for the program. Scientists from across NASA served on the Viking science teams.

Acer Iconia-6120
Average of 5 scores (from 6 reviews)
Reviews for the Acer Iconia-6120
Source: Inside HW
Acer's Iconia 6120 is one of the pioneers that's here to show how PCs are to be used in the visible future. It's up to the users to decide whether they'll reach for the future immediately, or wait for a couple more years.
Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 07/23/2011

Acer would have been much better off equipping the Iconia with a standard physical keyboard and replacing only the touchpad with a fairly high-resolution 4-inch touchscreen. It's good to see Acer trying some aggressive designs, especially ones as aesthetically pleasing as the Iconia's, but as a practical matter it just doesn't make sense to replace the lower deck of a Windows laptop with a touchscreen.

But for the rest of the world that depends on a keyboard for lots of typing on the road, the Iconia is a harder sell. The on-screen keyboard is very well done, but there's no way it can compete with a hardware keyboard. And the 6120's odd lack of Bluetooth mean you can't even bring a portable folding Bluetooth keyboard with you on the road (unless you get a USB Bluetooth dongle too). Lastly, though some of you think the stylus is so last decade, active digitizers still sell a healthy number of Windows tablets because artists, note-takers, science types who use equations and vertical market workers rely on the pen. The Iconia could have had that market if they'd only included an active digitizer in the upper display.

No category of computing is bigger and bolder here in early 2011 than touch-interface tablet computers. Some very big players—RIM, Motorola, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, and others—are all trying to gain a foothold against Apple's field-leading iPads. This device's dual 14-inch LCDs make for an unusual hybrid of notebook and tablet, but its design and battery life simply demand too many compromises.

The Acer Iconia 6120 A laptop with dual-screen laptop is as is a unique and innovative take on multitasking, but the virtual keyboard and Acer's touch software pack aren't ready for prime time.

Rating: Total score: 50%
Source: Laptop Mag
We've slammed a lot of Windows-based consumer tablets for not taking the touch experience seriously, so Acer deserves some credit for innovating here. The Acer Ring interface on the Iconia 6120 is a cool way to interact with the notebook; the touch keyboard is workable; and SocialJogger represents a fresh way to access social network information in a single place. Still, this notebook is heavy and its battery life is short. And while the apps are interesting, they take a while to load and don't truly take advantage of the unique design. What this notebook is crying out for is software that can better take advantage of the two displays when laid flat, especially games. Overall, the Iconia 6120 is a fresh take on the Windows tablet, but we'd like to see a slimmer design and a wider selection of touch apps.

The inadvertent education of monster trucks and floor maintenanceJennifer Doyle
I remember the day very well that I came home from shopping for a bathing suit, the first since having children, and realized that indeed I am a mom. Instead of a bikini or even just a one piece suit, I'd bought a skirted bathing suit. GASP! Nevermind that I'd given birth to two children already, but the purchase of a frumpy skirted suit did more to make me truly feel like a mom than sitz baths, leaking boobs, or spit up crusted, three-days-since-my-last-shower hair ever had.
There have been moments since that have given me that same eye opening YOU ARE A MOM feeling. I've gained so much knowledge inadvertently since becoming a mom that it seems unfair that I don't get to sign my name with a bunch a fancy letters following it to show off this education, Jennifer Doyle, Ph.D M.O.M.
Here are just a few of the things I've learned so far.
1. I know the names of many monster trucks and their drivers and have googled ON PURPOSE, "Monster truck rally near Knoxville."
2. I have watched more than one NASCAR race, from the pre-race banter to the post-race celebrations and have had lengthy discussions with my son about the drivers and their cars.
3. Need to know where to find a semi-clean restroom in Knoxville or along the interstate in Tennessee, Illinois, or Missouri? I'm your gal!
4. I know that it's easier to let rice and cereal the kids have spilled to dry overnight on the hardwood floor before trying to sweep it up. A dirty floor is really not that big of a deal, (which pretty much sums up my entire cleaning philosophy).
5. I've finally learned the difference between sizes 3 and 3T, though I still don't understand sizes 6 vs. 6x.
6. I know that that the logic of sending the kids to bed late will result in getting them to sleep in is not only a flawed theory, it's a FILTHY, ROTTEN LIE.
7. I still have to remind my kids EVERY TIME to say please and thank you despite this being a requirement at every thoughtful gesture and request.
8. At bedtime, it's easier to just kiss each stuffed animal goodnight when asked. You can protest, but all you are doing is prolonging the inevitable. KISS THE BUNNY ALREADY.
9. For almost every day of the week, I can tell you where kids eat free. And what's on their kids menu. And if they maybe have any (beer) specials.
What have you inadvertently learned as a parent?

Sherlock's on the case
Step into the shoes of the gifted Sherlock Holmes in this modern take on the popular detective stories. Unearth clues from the crime scene, interrogate suspects, and make logical connections in order to crack the case as only Sherlock can. But be careful not to accuse your suspect until all the facts are all in. Screw up and pesky reporters will run your name through the mud.
This isn't your mother's Sherlock. In Crimes & Punishments, Sherlock has dropped his stuffy, professor look for a scruffy, bad-boy demeanor complete with a loose necktie. Rugged though he may appear on the outside, he's still the same cerebral detective with a knack for solving the unsolvable.

Wilson Gets Medalist Honors
Fortified with a seven-stroke lead heading into the second round of stroke play, 47-year-old Jeff Wilson cruised in as the medalist of the 2010 U.S. Amateur in University Place, Wash.
After firing a 10-under 62 on the Home Course in nearby Dupont Monday, Wilson carded a 3-over 74 in the second round on the much tougher host venue, Chambers Bay, edging Patrick Cantlay of Los Alamitos, Calif., and Patrick Rodgers from Avon, Ind., by a stroke after finishing 7-under 136.
Cantlay who plans to attend UCLA, shot the best round of the day, a 5-under-par 67 at the Home Course for a 36-hole score of 137; Rodgers shot a 68. (For full scoring, visit http://www.usga.org/ChampEventScore.aspx?id=17179869326&year=2010&type=stroke.)
Andres Echavarria of Colombia carded a 68 at the Home Course and is tied with Justin Thomas of Goshen, Ky. (69 at Chambers Bay), at 4-under.
The only other player under par is Eric Chun; after opening with a 1-over 73 at the Home Course, he posted a 69 Tuesday at Chambers Bay.
The cut line was set at 6-over 149. The top 64 players now move on to the match-play portion of the championship, the remainder of which will take place at Chambers Bay.
