As I've been working through my NES backlog I've been taking screen captures for my reviews. My current device can grab images at a resolution of 720x480, which is more than enough for NES games. I noticed something strange, however, about the pictures I had been taking. There was a black border around every image, which shouldn't be there if the device is taking in a full picture signal. It was then that I realized I shouldn't be taking screen captures through an emulator.
Through a combination of necessity and convenience, I have been playing my NES games through NesterDC on the Dreamcast. I've been doing this for several years now because my real NES (and its games) have seen better days. So, when the time came for me to play NES games this year I naturally played them through the Dreamcast. But, as soon as I saw what was happening with the screen captures I knew I was making a mistake. If I'm going to be reviewing NES games I need to have them properly shown. In order to do that I need my system to be in working order again. Of course, getting it back to that state is easier said than done.
The last time I played my NES it was a struggle to get my games to work. That was ten years ago. When I tried to play a game on it last week I was consistently met with the blinking light. My usual tricks, like breathing on the game's contacts, allowed the game to run for just a few minutes. But that's not an ideal solution. I decided that it was time to do full maintenance on the NES, and that meant taking it apart.
My NES
This is not the first time I've taken my NES apart. The first time was... a long time ago. The world was still enjoying the N64 and PS1 at that point. Anyway, the first repair job was to realign the contacts inside the system. They had bent donwards over years of use and were no longer providing a solid contact with the cartridges. Once they were aligned the games ran flawlessly for the next few years. So, I assumed that's all that needed to be done this time around. But I was wrong.
Time to get to work
After grounding myself, I removed the exterior cover (six philips screws), the rf shield (seven philips screws), the cartridge slot and the frame anchors (eight philips screws). Then, using my 1.4mm flathead screwdriver, I began the delicate process of pushing the contacts upwards. Once that was finished I reinstalled the cartridge slot and tried a game. It didn't boot up. So, I took the game out, breathed on it, and put it in again. This time it worked for a few minutes. That's not how the system should function, though, so I took it apart again.
RF shield removed
This time I decided to take a closer look at the NES's internal connector. What I discovered was not too surprising. After years of use and abuse, breathing on carts and placing them onto metal contacts, the internal connector was heavily tarnished. It really was a miracle that the games were running at all, considering that there was nothing there to maintain a connection. I had to figure out how to clean them because they were never going to work in that condition. But, in order to work on the connector it had to be removed from the motherboard. After grounding myself again I handled the motherboard and removed the connector. Its on there tight and it requires a fair bit of force to push it off. It can take the abuse, though.
Cartridge slot removed
With the connector removed I now had two options before me; I could toss the old one and replace it with a new one or clean the original . The recommendation from fellow gamers was to salvage the original part. It's the most compatible and its build quality is superior to the newer ones. Although the replacement connectors were inexpensive, the replacement slot might be too tight or too flimsy in construction. So, I decided to clean the orignal part first. And if that didn't work out then I could always try a replacement.
Connector disconnected
The process of cleaning out the connector is a little tricky. You cannot use soap and water as that will not remove the tarnish. It will also make the problem worse, especially if you don't remove all the soap or dry it properly. It's also fairly difficult to clean both rows of contacts. The NES connector has two rows of contacts; there are 36 pins on the top and 36 pins on the bottom. The ones on the top are recessed and you can only see a small portion of them. Of the two sets those are the hardest to clean. So, how does one clean them?
Those upper recessed contacts are hard to clean
In order to remove the tarnish from the contacts you'll need a metal polish. I used Noxon, which is an all-purpose metal polish safe for use on 7 different metals. From there, you place some Noxon on a paper towel (a line the length of the connector) and stuff that into the connector (using the small screwdriver helps here). That needs to sit for about two minutes before it can be removed. There was quite a bit of residue on the towel when I removed it, indicating that it was removing the tarnish. Then, while the Noxon is still moist on the contacts, you can scrub them with a toothbrush. To clean off the contacts you need to use an alcohol swab (the thinner the better) because it evaporates quickly. It's also important to remove any cotton fibers that might have caught on the connectors (an inexpensive make-up/paint brush works well). I repeated this entire process about three times. On the fourth pass I used an NES cartridge to deliver the Noxon deeper into the connector.
My tool set
When I was finished the contacts had regained their original shine and color. The moment of truth was before me and the time to reassemble the NES was at hand. Within a few minutes the NES was ready to go with a game in the bay waiting to be played. I turned on the system and... nothing. The same problem persisted and the NES was still blinking as if there was no cartridge in the system. I removed the cart and put it back in several times and then I tried it again with a different game. The result was the same. But then I made an accidental discovery.
I was tired of pushing the carts down and locking them into place every time I wanted try them out. So, I turned the power on with the game in the default postion and it booted up. While the game was on I gently pushed the bay down. As soon as it moved a few millimeters the system began blinking. At that point I realized what the problem was.
For those unfamiliar with how the original front-loading NES works, you place a game in the slot, push the game into the connector, and then press the cartridge bay down until it clicks. That locks the game into the system. The games will still boot up, though, if you don't push the bay down. When you put the cartridge in and push it into the connector, it's in full contact with it. Both the top and bottom row of contacts are touching the ones on the game completing the circuit.
When you push the cartridge bay down only the cartridge is moving. The actual connector is stationary, which means the cartridge is pressed into both rows of contacts. If the pins are in the correct position it will maintain the connection as the cartridge is locked into place. The contacts in my system were worn out from decades of use, and as soon as I pushed the bay down the circuit was broken. While the contacts on the game were being pushed upwards into the top set of pins, they were also moving away from the bottom set.
With the problem solved, I tried out several more games and each one booted up flawlessly (I cleaned the contacts on each game first). As long as the games are not pushed down they started up the first time, every time. Having my NES in working order again allows me to not only play my physical games, but to also take pictures (and movies) directly from the source. They may not be the greatest and cleanest shots, but at least they will be authentic to what I'm seeing on my CRT TV. That also means no more cropped emulated shots for games that may or may not be the correct version (the Faxanadu on NesterDC was not the US version; I discovered that when I played my copy). Finally, I can now go ahead and put together the next set of NES reviews which will cover Legacy of the Wizard, Faxanadu, and Faria. The first of the batch should be ready within a week, so look for it then. Thanks for reading.

Toronto: Antonio Banderas and Naomi Watts in Allen's charming, slight 'Tall Dark Stranger'
When you make a film a year, rain or shine, you'll end with some good movies just as a matter of general talent. Woody Allen certainly knows how to make an engaging, easy sit at this point, and "You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger" is certainly painless. To some extent, though, Allen's films are as familiar in their rhythms as the superhero origin story, and so it becomes about watching variations on a theme, watching how each different cast tackles the material. You're either up for the familiar pleasures or you're not, and by now, I think most serious filmgoers know how they feel about Allen's work.
Let's say this was the very first time you're seeing a Woody Allen film, though. I think sometimes we forget that's even possible. But I know that the first Allen film I saw in a theater and not on home video was "Hannah and Her Sisters." I would imagine this could well be someone's very first Woody Allen film. It's the story of Helena (Gemma Jones), an older woman whose husband Alfie (Anthony Hopkins) has just left her. She's ruined, and her daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) sends her to a psychic named Cristal (Pauline Colins), knowing it will comfort her. Sally and her husband Roy (Josh Brolin) are in a holding pattern while they wait for him to finish his novel, something that terrifies him. He spends his days watching a lovely young neighbor named Dia (Frieda Pinto) through her window, running from his work, while Sally spends her work days lusting quietly after Greg (Antonio Banderas), the owner of the gallery where she works. Meanwhile, Sally's father Alfie is dealing with the ridiculous folly of his relationship with his mistress Charmaine (Lucy Punch). It's typical Allen romantic roundelay, and there's a spirited energy to it this time around, but it doesn't add up to much. If this were my very first Allen film, my reaction would be, "That's it?"
As a longtime Allen fan, though, there are particular pleasures here. Brolin's pursuit of the oh-so-lovely Pinto is interesting, and Brolin in general is one of the more interestingly amoral figures in the film. Allen drops a great opportunity in Brolin's hands to do something terrible, and it's really clever the way Allen plays out that particular thread. The potential for romance for Helena is handled well, too, and the sweetness of it is indicative of the overall tone of the film. Even Alfie's storyline with his trashy English mistress is sweet because of the expert way Lucy Punch plays Charmaine as a creature of whim. She's not malicious. She's not trying to hurt Alfie or exploit him. He drops into her life and wants to please her, and she's more than happy to be pleased. Naomi Watts flounders, though, and it's the material's problem. She's given nothing to do.
Technically, it looks and sounds like… well… every other Woody Allen film of the last ten years. I like the use of the London locations. It's been interesting to watch Allen move out of New York gradually over the last handful of years. Even if I think "You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger" is a little on the inconsequential side, I'm always happy to check out a new Allen film. It was just a few years ago that he made "Vicki Christina Barcelona," which I adore, so I know there's always hope that the next one will be the home run. And in the meantime, a solid double will do just fine.
"You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger" opens this Wednesday.

The "house of horrors" abortion doctor's trial is set to begin today with jury selection. Dr. Kermit Gosnell is being charged with eight counts of murder for the death of one mother and seven babies that were reportedly born alive and then killed.
As reported by Daily Times, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania clinic, the Women's Medical Society, was in operation for nearly 40 years. The clinic gained worldwide attention following the death of a patient in 2009. Karnamaya Monger, age 41, allegedly lost her life due to an overdoes of pain medication and sedatives administered by staff at the clinic.
Authorities investigating the woman's death were stunned when they entered Gosnell's clinic to find what has been described as a "house of horrors." The abortion doctor faces murder charges for the evidence and testimony received as a result of the investigation.

Ristolainen, still without a contract, makes 'good will' gesture towards Sabres
Rasmus Ristolainen doesn't have a contract yet, and he's not particularly close to getting one either.
But the Sabres defenseman, a restricted free agent, doesn't want to burn any bridges, so he arrived at KeyBank Center on Thursday as a "good will" gesture, reports The Buffalo News. He'll practice with his teammates, head coach Dan Bylsma confirmed.
"Everyone knows how dedicated he is to his training, and he wanted to continue to build on the gains he made this summer," Ristolainen's agent, Mike Liut, wrote in an email to the News. "In the end, this made sense to him, at least in the short term."
The eighth overall pick in the 2013 draft, Ristolainen had nine goals and 32 assists in 82 games for the Sabres last season.
"I still trust that we will make that contract happen," Ristolainen told reporters a couple of weeks ago at the World Cup in Toronto, where he was representing Finland. "I like Buffalo. I want to be there as long as I can and I feel they feel the same way about me. I trust it's going to be taken care of."

Wild to play Coyle at RW, likely on top line with Parise and Staal
It's been the ongoing storyline over Charlie Coyle's four years in Minnesota — center, or wing?
This year, it'll be the latter.
At least to start.
Head coach Bruce Boudreau confirmed Coyle will begin the year playing at right wing, potentially on the club's top line next to Zach Parise and Eric Staal.
"I think I'm built more for that game," Coyle said, per the Star-Tribune. "Long-term, I think they like me at center, I don't know. It doesn't matter to me, but it is nice to be able to consistently play one place and not go back and forth.
"Mentally, once you play one place, you feel more comfortable."
Coyle has played center quite often, most notably during the '14-15 campaign when he finished third on the team in faceoffs taken (behind Mikko Koivu and Mikael Granlund). And while it's obvious he'd be able to impact the game more playing down the middle rather than outside, Coyle's attributes on the wing are hard to pass up.
Specifically, his ability to find the back of the net.
Coyle scored a career-high 21 goals last year, many of them coming while playing RW. For a Wild team that isn't all that dynamic offensively, such production is hard to pass up.
What's more, the Wild do have options down the middle.
Staal and Koivu are there, as is Mikael Granlund. Erik Haula's proven to be a quality 3C or 4C, and Coyle could always flip back to center in a pinch.
Putting Coyle on the wing would also give Boudreau more balance among his forward group. Granlund — who, like Coyle, is also versatile enough to play wing — could move to the left side on the Koivu-Jason Zucker line, which would give Minnesota a nice third unite comprised of Haula, Nino Niederreiter and Jason Pominville.
Stecher makes memorable debut for Canucks, the team he grew up supporting
Troy Stecher admitted he was "still shaking" when he met with reporters following last night's preseason game in Vancouver. The 22-year-old rookie defenseman had just scored one goal and added two impressive assists in the Canucks' 5-3 win over the Oilers.
Not bad for an undrafted, local kid who grew up a fan of the team.
"Something I'll never forget, obviously," Stecher said. "First game at Rogers (Arena). I grew up watching the Canucks, coming here. It was a different feeling being on the other side of it."
It was only one game, but for the second year in a row, a defenseman who just finished his college career appears to be pushing for a spot on the Canucks. Last year, it was Ben Hutton, out of Maine, and he made it.
So, could Stecher, out of North Dakota, actually crack the Canucks' roster as a right-shot, offensive defenseman?
Well, he's already beaten out Jordan Subban, who's been returned to the AHL. His main, remaining competition figures to be North America returnee Philip Larsen, who's been in the KHL the past couple of seasons.
The answer has to be yes.
But again, it's only been one game. He's earned another one, according to head coach Willie Desjardins, so he'll have to build on his first one.
"I'm a young guy, so confidence is huge," said Stecher. "I think I played pretty well. If I have a poor game, then you kind of dwell on it all day tomorrow and it's in your mind. At the same time, I've just got to put it in my back pocket. Tomorrow's a new day and I've got to come to the rink prepared to work hard and just continue to do my thing."

Report: Lindholm seeking eight-year deal from Ducks, at least $6M per
Details are starting to come out about the contractual impasse between Anaheim and prized young defenseman Hampus Lindholm.
Fresh off an appearance with Team Sweden at the World Cup, Lindholm — a still-unsigned RFA — is reportedly seeking "more than $6 million per season over eight years," according to the O.C. Register.
The 22-year-old is currently in Sweden training with SHL club Rogle BK, the team he played for prior to getting drafted sixth overall in 2012.
Lindholm is coming off his three-year, entry-level deal, one that carried a cap hit of $894,166.
The Ducks are in a bit of a financial squeeze and also need to sort out another RFA — versatile forward Rickard Rakell — so it's understandable why negotiations with Lindholm have been drawn out.
That said, they're not going to want to drag feet much longer.
Lindholm is a budding star on defense, coming off a year in which he scored a career-best 10 goals and 28 points in 80 games, averaging 22 minutes per night. He was also a huge part of Anaheim's run to Game 7 of the Western Conference Final the previous spring, scoring 10 points in 16 games while increasing his ice time to 23:15.
According to the Register, the "feeling" is that Anaheim's closer to a deal with Rakell than Lindholm. And on that note, it's worth mentioning the Ducks make their season debut in two weeks — on Oct. 13, with a road date in Dallas.

Can anyone tell me if the two set screws in the rear face of the Docter sight are involved in zeroing? Looks to me like the screw on the top surface and the right side are the adjustment screws, but I'd like to know for sure. Thanks for any help.

We are proud of our successful Regent University alumni and their accomplishments. Regent alums work in the television and film industry including local and national commercials, television sitcoms, episodic dramas, independent films and major studio films. They also work for local and national news networks, off-Broadway productions, regional theatres, and elite universities. Our alumni serve as directors, producers, scriptwriters, animators, news anchors, talk show hosts, actors, journalists, researchers, writers, editors and professors. Additionally, many of our graduates have started thriving businesses or have successful careers as freelancers.
Meet some of our successful Regent University alumni:
A 1997 alumnus of the School of Communication & the Arts, Bruce D. Long has carved a niche for himself as a producer in Broadway, West End, and off-Broadway. His Broadway repertoire includes productions like Of Mice and Men starring James Franco and Chris O'Dowd, Doctor Zhivago, Tuck Everlasting, and Hands on a Hardbody. Moreover, Long's documentary Wireman 101: Queens Course in History, and the television series American Entrepreneur were broadcast on PBS. He is also the president and CEO of Eye Opening Entertainment, which has worked with companies and non-profits like NASCAR, IBM, The Business Journal Network and The Council for Children's Rights. Long did his MA in Acting/Directing at Regent University. He is also a graduate of the Commercial Theatre Institute's Advanced Program for Commercial Producers and Managers. Additionally, he was chosen from an international pool of candidates for the CTI-O'Neil Theater Center Summer Producing Intensive working directly with playwrights in the National Playwrights Conference and the National Music Theater Conference. Long also holds a BA in Speech/Theatre and has completed two years of a Ph.D. in Global Leadership and Entrepreneurship.
Michelle Hoppe-Long has invested the past twenty years in the arena of film, television and theatre, receiving over fifty awards for her outstanding talent. These include a 2008 Crown Award for her screenplay adaptation of The List with Malcolm McDowell, which was released by FOX. She also co-created and wrote the children's television program The Knock Knock Show that aired on the Fox Family channel. Hoppe-Long, who graduated from Regent in 2002 with an MFA in Film and Television, is a member of the Dramatists Guild and has received playwriting awards from the North Carolina Theatre Conference (NCTC) for her musical Ladies First and play So Help Me, God. The latter was also chosen as the Christians in Theatre Arts (CITA) outstanding new play of 2009. In addition, she has garnered best director awards from the Southeastern Theatre Conference and from the NCTC for seven consecutive years. The distinction of receiving the North Carolina K-12 Educator of the Year for 2009-2010 award was added to the list, for her work as the Director of Fine Arts at a college preparatory school in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hoppe-Long currently serves as the Director of Education for the Children's Theatre of Charlotte, in addition to being a board member of CITA and the NCTC.
Joshua Overbay, who graduated from Regent University in 2010 with an MFA in Film & Television, is a professional director, producer, and writer of feature films. His first feature film As It Is in Heaven (2014) received critical acclaim and was deemed a "Critics' Pick" by The New York Times. Before its release, Overbay had already received 30 awards for his short films. Transposition, the Regent University 2008-09 student-produced endowed fall film directed by him, was a 2009 national finalist for the Student Academy Awards. He is an assistant professor of film and television at Louisiana State University and aims to shoot a feature film every year.
A professional actor and associate professor at Liberty University, Chris Nelson graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from Regent University in 2006. His credits as an actor include Terrence Malick's The New World that starred Colin Farrell, the independent feature Judges, and the lead character in Regent's endowed film As It Is In Heaven. Nelson also directed The Miracle at the Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and the outdoor drama 1607: First Landing.
Nelson has sown in the drama ministry, working for six years as an artist-in-residence for Spring Branch Community Church. He also designed a number of theatre and film camps while working as Regent University's Summer Arts Coordinator. He currently oversees the Liberty University Summer Arts Program and is a board member for the Hollywood Youth Theatre, in Burbank, California. His accolades include Kennedy Center American College Theatre Merit Awards for excellence in directing for Ragtime, Little Shop of Horrors, Everyman, and The Man Who Came to Dinner.
With eleven books to his name, including the New York Times bestseller Where the River Ends, Charles Martin has carved a niche for himself in the literary world. He is a '00 alumnus of the School of Communication & the Arts. One of his most popular titles, The Mountain Between Us, was optioned by 20th Century Fox. Moreover, the Palestinian filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad has signed on to direct it for Fox and Chernin Entertainment. Actress Rosamund Pike of Gone Girl fame is reportedly in talks to play the lead in the film.
Hollywood veteran William Houston Ball has more than 15 years professional experience working primarily in visual effects on more than twenty-five feature films. This 2001 Regent graduate's list of credits includes Starship Troopers, Contact, Godzilla, Stuart Little, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, The Incredible Hulk, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and, most recently, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. In addition to feature films, Ball has worked on television commercials, live musical concerts and videos, and in theater. He currently serves as the effects/lighting technical director at Rhythm and Hues Studios in Los Angeles, Calif. Ball has received much acclaim for his work in visual effects, including an Academy Award in 2008.
Daniela Beyruti is the current president of the Brazilian Television System (SBT) network, which is one of the top-ranked Brazilian television networks. A 2005 Regent graduate, Beyruti's accomplishments include hiring nationally known presenters to the network and running popular shows such as Squadron Fashion, 10 Years Younger, What's Your Talent? and You Remember That?. She was also the executive producer of the Brazilian version of American Idol. Beyruti has an advertising contract with Corinthians, one of the most popular soccer teams in Brazil.
A 1985 graduate of Regent's M.A. in Communication program, Louisiana State Senator Sharon Weston Broome has served as an elected official for nearly 20 years and was cited as one of Baton Rouge Business Report's "Top 25 Most Influential Women—Leading The Way In The Capitol City." In addition to serving for five years as a reporter for the ABC affiliate WBRZ-TV, Broome has made various television appearances, including The Montel Williams Show, The 700 Club, Court TV's Your Turn and CTN Live!
Christian Broadcasting Network Vice President Ben Edwards' mission is to communicate the Gospel to unreached people groups around the world. After graduating from Regent in 1985 with a M.A. in Communication, his career at CBN steadily climbed through various roles in production, editing and directing. Today, Edwards is a leader of WorldReach, CBN's international thrust committed to developing strategic partnerships to carry the Gospel worldwide through mass media, primarily television broadcasts.
Actor Tony Hale is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Byron "Buster" Bluth on TV's Arrested Development, a role that has twice landed him nominations for Screen Actors Guild awards. Hale's acting career also includes roles on NBC's Andy Barker P.I., Chuck and Showtime's United States of Tara, as well as major motion pictures Stranger Than Fiction, Because I Said So and The Informant!. After graduating in 1995 from Regent's School of Communication and the Arts, Hale lived in New York City for nearly a decade, where he founded The Haven, an artistically minded Christian ministry.
Miss America 1999 Nicole Johnson is an international diabetes advocate, travelling extensively to promote awareness, prevention and intensive management of the condition she has battled for 15 years. This 1998 Regent M.A. in Journalism graduate is the Telly Award-winning host of the weekly CNBC diabetes talk show dLifeTV and has written four books, including her autobiography Living With Diabetes. Nicole also formed the Nicole Johnson Foundation to help address gaps in diabetes education.
Wes Llewellyn has been a filmmaker for more than 20 years and is credited with hundreds of productions in film and television. A 1988 Regent Film & Television graduate, his career has embraced the roles of director, cinematographer, writer and producer. Credits include producing and directing the film shorts Unbound and Up in Air, three seasons of the syndicated television show Sid Roth's, It's Supernatural, and his critically acclaimed feature films The Moment After and The Moment After 2. Llewellyn is a three-time winner of the Best Film award at the 168 Hour Film Festival and has received numerous other awards for documentary, shorts, television and music videos. His production company, Llewellyn Films, is in Burbank, Calif.
A winner of Art Within Labs (2006-2007), a national program for great screenwriters of faith, Cheryl McKay '95 holds a master's degree from Regent and has been a professional writer for more than a decade. McKay wrote the screenplay for The Ultimate Gift, an award-winning film adaptation released by Fox in 2007 starring James Garner, Brian Dennehy and Abigail Breslin. McKay also wrote for the Gigi: God's Little Princess video, the Wild & Wacky Totally True Bible Stories audio series, and several books with best-selling Christian author Frank Peretti. Her screenplay, Never the Bride, was adapted into a novel for Random House Publishers and released in June 2009.
Christian Broadcasting Network's Chris Mitchell delivers timely reports from a closely followed region of the world—the Middle East. He first began reporting on the Middle East in the mid-1990s, after graduating from Regent in 1988 with his M.A. in Film & Television. Mitchell's reporting style brings biblical and prophetic perspective to daily news events. His report on the "holy laughter" revivals in Toronto and London was named CBN's "Focus Story of the Year" in 1994. That same year, Mitchell also earned a Short Story of the Year award for his examination of religious coverage in network news. In addition to his reports for The 700 Club, Mitchell is a regular contributor to Christian World News, a weekly 30-minute newscast that airs nationally in multiple markets. While a student at Regent, Mitchell anchored Newsight, a student-produced Christian news program.
George Thomas began his career at CNN when he was selected from more than 500 applicants to intern. He made his mark on the industry when he reported and produced a number of successful stories on Islamic extremists. Despite his professional success, Thomas decided to go back to school and earned his M.A. in Journalism from Regent in 1995. After graduating from Regent, Thomas turned down a senior reporter job at CNN. Instead, he chose to co-anchor for CBN News, a division of the Christian Broadcasting Network. There, he has been able to cover such compelling stories as the 2005 elections in Iraq, the war on terror from Afghanistan and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Oracle Makes Green Upgrade to Transportation Solution, Shippers Want Efficiency
One of the major upgrades to Oracle's latest release of its Transportation Management solution is its "Green Dashboard", which will incorporate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay emission factors for measuring and monitoring green metrics in the freight sector. For shippers, improving efficiency is the most important motivating factor for upgrading or purchasing supply chain IT/technology, according to a new report.
Designed to help shippers and logistic service providers lower transportation costs, improve efficiencies and reduce their environmental impact, Oracle Transportation Management 6.1 solution offers expanded capabilities in five areas: sourcing, planning, execution, financial settlement and visibility across all modes of transportation.
As an example, Oracle Fleet Management now includes capabilities that help reduce transportation costs and improve equipment utilization by enhancing the planning and optimization engine for solving complex fleet planning scenarios.
Also, new business intelligence capabilities and additional dashboard reports will help drive process efficiency and measure and monitor green metrics such as CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions, NOX (oxides of nitrogen) emissions and total fuel consumption, says Oracle.
Improving efficiency is the most important motivating factor for shippers when deciding to upgrade or purchase supply chain IT/technology, according to a new report from eyefortransport.
Ninety-three percent of shippers surveyed for the "Logistics Technology Report 2010" (registration required) said improving efficiency is the most important factor for purchasing supply chain IT/technology; followed by reducing costs said 60 percent of respondents.
Forty-seven percent of shippers expect to increase their IT investments, while 20 percent said they expected to decrease their investments.
Similarly, 42 percent of transport logistics providers expected to increase their IT investment, 44 percent said they expected no change, and 14 percent said levels of investment will decrease.
The report findings will be the center of discussion at this year's Logistics CIO and Supply Chain Technology Forums, April 8-9 in Chicago and May 17-18 in Amsterdam.
Reader Comments
Its inevitable that shippers want to look at this area as it releases cash, to be able to get a doule bubble of labelling the efficency greener raises brand and benefit in the same dialogue, its just surprising how long it has taken Oracle to provide this capability, when will it tie in to the SUpply Chain strategy piece?

Fixed PriceBudget: $200
Start DateFebruary 15, 2013
The project is to edit short clips that I shot with a Kodak ZI10 videocamera (and some with my blackberry):
About 730 MP4 files, about 19GB overall
Many clips will be redundant as I tried to get some usable material under bad weather or light conditions.
The video doesn't have to be professional grade, but I need someone who has done that a couple of times and can select the usable material based on personal judgment.
The rough sequence of the trip is roughly as follows:
(some dates of clips are off due to the date/time settings of the kodak camera and blackberry were off (by less than a day though I believe)
Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul, Shanghai, Xi'An, Guilin, Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore
The expected result of the project: two versions of a vacation video:
Video 1: a short 'Best Of' version of about 5-10 minutes: fast paced, short 2-5 second pieces, action, interesting sights, funny, spectacular, ...
Ideally sequenced by Location if obvious and theme (e.g. cycling)
Please suggest suitable non-copyrighted background music (should be exciting, action, fast,...)
Video 2: a longer video of usable material (anywhere between 15 and 40 minutes), grouped by date taken, longer sequences without being boring. Weed out many of the bad clips.
Need your judgment to weed out the bad material (redundant, quality or just not interesting)
Would like to add sub titles, caption after reviewing a first draft.
Opening screen: 'Uli in Asia 2012'
Feel free to add some additional public domain material such as an aerial of the cities visited.
Videos are intended for personal use only.
I prefer to pay a fixed amount for the result, not the time, looking for someone who is well versed in video editing.
I plan to upload the material to a cloud file sharing website. Suggest a better method if there is one.
Please suggest any ways to improve the output as I'm not experienced with the process.
I'd like to see a draft version before final rendering.
I need the videos by end of March 2013.
Thank you
Skills: video, blackberry

But when the celebrity obstetrician turns out to be her husband Luke's glamorous, intellectual ex-girlfriend, Becky's perfect world starts to crumble. She's shopping for two, but are there three in her marriage?
Shop therapy: don't miss more in the Shopaholic series.
©2007 Sophie Kinsella; (P)2007 Books on Tape
"Through it all, Becky never loses her spark, making this fifth entry in the Shopaholic series every bit as delightful and hilarious as its predecessors." (Booklist)
"Kinsella is great!"
I love the entire Shopaholic series. Kinsella is really a nice easy, funny, witty author. I have not been disappointed.
"Good book, wrong narrator."
I give this book a 4 star for the fun, easy, frivolity of it, but a 2 star for the narrator. I agree with several other reviewers that the difference of pronunciation of "suzie" and "ark-o-dus" were very annoying. Emily Grey personified the character of Becky far better as well as all the other characters. This narrator is flat and lacking in variety.
"Narrator poorly matched"
The book itself was every bit as fun as the first 4. I really enjoyed it. I hope there are more to come. The character is endearing, and a lot of fun to spend time with. The problem I had with Shopaholic and Baby was the narrator. She sounded stuffy and formal, which is so far afield of Becky Bloomwood. I found it distracting. And, she made Luke sound like some caricature of a British butler or something. Not to mention "Suzy" instead of "Suze". The narrator who read Shopaholic and Sister was good (not as good as Emily Gray but at least she got the tone of the character right), but let's face it. Emily Gray is the voice of Becky. I hope if there's another book in the series she'll narrate.
"Pretty good story line - terrible narrator"
The story line in this one was MUCH better than Shopaholic and Sister which almost made me stop listening to the series. I didn't want to strangle Becky (more than usual) and I really wanted to keep listening. The story line seemed more realistic and like she had matured somewhat.
The narrator though was terrible. She clearly didn't listen to previous versions to see how things should have been pronounced. Suze is not Suzy, Arcodus was wrong... all the male characters sounded the same and Becky herself sounded like she was 50 years old and way more mature. Emily Gray really had nailed it and nobody has really been able to match her. It really makes a difference in how the book is portrayed. Reading this one would have been better.
I love most books that transport me to another time and place & books that uplift my spirit.
"Changing Narrators...."
I love these books, however, I do NOT love the changing Narrators. A series should keep the same narrator throughout, especially when the current narrator does not double check the series to see how names are pronounced and the characters are read. Ex. Suzie, is Sooze and always has been from day 1. I miss the last narrator who read Shopoholic & Sister.
Other than that, the story continues on about Rebecca's never ending shopping desires and must haves. Amusing and entertaining. I like to listen to these books in between deep and heavy storylines.
"First Audio Book Ever"
I was very surprised to hear this book. I've never heard an audio book before but I thought I'd give it a try... I was very surprised to hear the British accent, it's nice though. I thought it sounded a bit robotic and choppy. I'll have to hear it more to maybe get used to it. Just not what I was expecting at all.
"Awful narrator"
I've listened to and enjoyed the others - narrator on the 1st three was terrific, 4th not bad - this one terrible!!!! Hideous shock upon beginning to listen. Don't want to finish.
"Great story, fun and light but ..."
did the producer forget to audition the narrator for this actual book? It's such a disappointment to hear names destroyed. I won't abandon this one but the others have been far superior. I just love Becky's take on life and her rationalizations for her outrageous behavior! In each book I laugh out loud so frequently. I love it!
"Love Shopaholic; don't love the narrator"
I love Shopaholic books. But I think this narrator should have at least listened to the narrations of the previous books. That way, she wouldn't have changed the name of one of the main characters (Becky's best friend "Suze")!
"Good book - awful narrator"
I like this series, but the narrator was awful, and that took a lot of fun out of this book. I had to start over five times before I could bring myself to listen to this reader. And the 'Suzy' thing really got on my nerves. These books have been my treat during the long commute to work, and it was such a disappointment not to have the narrator from the first two books, but I listened to the end to see what Becky was up to now.

Intersections in Reproduction: Perspectives on Abortion, Assisted Reproductive Technologies, and Judicial Review
United States
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Abortion and reproductive technologies have historically occupied separate realms in law, policy, and academia. In spite of some obvious and natural overlap, scholarship exploring the relationship between abortion and assisted reproduction is sparse. In 2014, Judith Daar (Whittier Law School) and Kimberly Mutcherson (Rutgers Law-Camden) will co-guest edit an issue of the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics devoted to articles reflecting on this relationship. JLME is a peer-reviewed journal published by the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics.
The guest editors are open to a wide range of scholarship from authors steeped in various aspects of reproductive justice, reproductive rights, and reproductive technologies who can explore the future of assisted reproduction and abortion as matters of scholarly concern and legal regulation, especially when viewed as part of a larger movement for reproductive rights and reproductive justice. The term reproductive technologies should be interpreted broadly in this context to go beyond IVF and include a range of techniques used in conjunction with assisted methods of conception.
Questions papers might choose to tackle include, but are in no way limited to:
- What is the relationship between the right to create a pregnancy through assisted reproduction and the right to terminate a pregnancy? Papers could explore constitutional groundings for the rights, similarities and differences in how the rights have or should evolve, and how these potentially evolving rights can or should impact each other.
- What common ground and common cause can be found between those who advocate on behalf of people who use assisted reproductive technology and women who want to terminate pregnancies?
- What is the role of stigma in controlling women's reproductive choices in these two areas and how does stigma in one area impact another? For example, how does stigma directed at women working as surrogates relate to stigma directed towards women who terminate a pregnancy?
- What is the relationship between paternalist justifications for the regulation of assisted reproductive technology and paternalist justifications for the regulation of decision making about terminating pregnancies?
-How has technology influenced women's choices and autonomy in reproductive decision-making, either in creating or ending embryonic life, and how does it impact judicial review of these decisions?
Special consideration will be given to writing that explores connections, disconnections, and contradictions in how law, public policy, and ethics understand abortion and how those arenas understand assisted reproduction. Final papers should be ten-twenty pages, including endnotes.
On April 17-18, 2014, as a prelude to the special issue, the Program for the Study of Reproductive Justice at Yale Law School will host a workshop to discuss papers that have been preliminarily selected for publication in the special issue of JLME, and potentially additional papers that explore these themes. Post-workshop, authors will have time to revise their papers for purposes of publication in the special issue or for potential placement elsewhere.
To be considered for inclusion in this special issue and the workshop in April, please send an abstract of no more 500 words to Judith Daar (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Kim Mutcherson (email@example.com) by November 18, 2013. If you do not want your work considered for inclusion in the special issue of JLME, please make that clear in your abstract. Authors who are selected for inclusion in the special JLME issue and/or the workshop will be notified no later than December 13, 2013. Drafts of papers for the workshop will be due by March 10, 2014. Final papers will be due to the editors by May 23, 2014.
If you have any questions about this CFP, please feel free to contact Judith Daar at email@example.com or Kimberly Mutcherson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
