Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Varsity Tennis Center)
Score: #24 Columbia 6, Michigan 1
Records: Michigan (7-5), Columbia (11-1)
Next U-M Event: Saturday, March 15 -- vs. Detroit (Varsity Tennis Center), 6 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's tennis team dropped the doubles point and five of six singles matches in a 6-1 loss to No. 24 Columbia on Saturday (March 15) at the Varsity Tennis Center.
Redshirt junior Justin Rossi (Novi, Mich./Laurel Springs Prep) earned U-M's lone win of the dual, notching a 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 decision over Bert Vancura at the No. 4 singles position for his fifth consecutive singles victory.
The Wolverines began the match by dropping a tightly-contested doubles point that lasted nearly 90 minutes. The Columbia tandem of Winston Lin and Mike Vermeer defeated juniors Alex Petrone (Staten Island, N.Y./Laurel Springs Prep) and Michael Zhu (Princeton, N.J./Keystone National), 8-3, at the No. 3 position in the first match off the court, but U-M responded with an 8-6 come-from-behind victory by the 52nd-ranked duo of senior Shaun Bernstein (Plainview, N.Y./Plainview Old Bethpage JFK) and freshman Kevin Wong (Hong Kong/Diocesa) over the pairing of Vancura and Richard Pham at the No. 2 spot. Trailing 6-4, Bernstein and Wong won the final four games of the match by holding serve on two occasions and earning back-to-back breaks.
After the teams split the first two doubles matches, Columbia earned the first point of the match with a narrow 8-7(3) victory by 12th-ranked Max Schnur and Ashok Narayana over the Wolverine 22nd-ranked tandem of Alex Buzzi (Key Biscayne, Fla./Gulliver Prep) and senior Barrett Franks (Christchuch, New Zealand/Shirley Boys' School) at the No. 1 position.
The Lions won the first three singles matches in straight sets to claim four points and secure the dual-match victory. Columbia went up 2-0 after Vermeer defeated Franks, 6-3, 6-4, at the No. 6 spot. Shortly thereafter, Schnur knocked off Buzzi, 6-3, 6-2, at No. 5 position to put the Lions ahead 3-0.
Columbia clinched the match soon after at the No. 3 singles position, as Dragos Ignat defeated Bernstein, 7-6 (5), 6-2, to give the Lions their fourth point of the dual. Lin, ranked 14th in the latest ITA Men's Singles Rankings, followed with a 6-0, 2-6, 6-2 win over junior Vlad Stefan (Bucharest, Romania) at the top of the lineup. After Rossi picked up the singles victory at No. 4 singles, Narayana downed Petrone, 6-7 (3), 6-2, 1-0 (7) at the No. 2 spot in the final match on the court.
The Wolverines return to action tonight, completing the day-night doubleheader by taking on Detroit at 6 p.m. at the Varsity Tennis Center. Admission to the match is free.

CO2 - dude this rocks - as per one juvie!
funny, sad, but true story of addiction and wild times.
so i added CO2, put it right in the flow of my intake (it's a DIY) well within minutes i had a juvie in the stream happily sucking in CO2 bubbles ... hmm... after an hour i took the CO2 out, and he went about his bsns. When i put it in again later that afternoon.. there he was again...
same thing next day
and next...
no matter how many times i chased him away he always went right back the minute the CO2 went into the tank... his spot RIGHT in front of the CO2 stream.
so i nick named the 'little dude' stoner..
last night guess who died? yup, i was sad to see the little guy go... though i told him CO2 huffing was not healthy and chased him away multiple times.
Shrimps likes to play around with bubbles! Except they don't know what kind of bubbles their playing with :(
TV commercial:
"This is your shrimp...This is your shrimp on CO2...Any questions?"
Its 10 o'clock do you know where your shrimp are?
i miss little stoner...
if i figure out how to get my diy down to like 1 bubble every 10-30 seconds i'll try it again... for now... no more co2 :(
Well look at the bright side. At least he is not around to pass on those stoner genes to the next generation.
As far as 1 every 10-30 sec, did you try an air valve? I doubt there is enough back pressure from a DIY to pop anything.
We ARE talking yeast mix, right? You very well may be correct, however when I was using one for a short time, I did this with no probs. Anyone else want to chime in as to yes or no?
He's probably eating the microscopic yeast particles that's being carried up by the DYI bubbles. He had the munchies.
What stoner doesn't? LOL
I didn't find anything that said it was bad or good to do what I did and use an air valve to reduce bubbles, however it is prob better to err on the side of caution and not do what I did. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Bandit. That's why I like this forum. People help each other- even in corrections.
I did the dyi co2 for a while to.did you use a bubble counter and filter?if not you can make one out of a 160z coke bottle.just fil it 3 quarter way ful with water and make 2 holes in the cap the one coming from the co2 bottle all most down about 1 inch from bottom and cut the end of the hose at a angle and the other one the hole you made put the hose a inch or two down. it should not touch the water and that end of the hose goes to your defusser or like you were using it.this is filter the co2 coming out of the co2 bottle so nothing will get to the water.make sure you silicone the 2 hoses good so thay don't leak and that should work.i used one 2 litter bottle of dyi co2 in my 20 gallon and was not enough for my 20 gallon.i would say to start out with one and add another ofter a week or so if you need it.hope this helps.good luck and hope you can make out what I am saying about the 16oz bottle make as a bubble counter and filter the water so nothing will get by it and to your tank but the co2.

Reaffirming their commitment to green computing, technology giants Intel and HP recently announced their respective planet-saving initiatives at the "Greenergy" forum, a slight twist from the traditional Synergy event that the two firms have been jointly organizing for the local media since 1997.
"There's been a lot of talk about efforts (that) everybody's doing, steps they are undertaking in terms of greening," said Ricky Banaag, Intel Technology Philippines Inc. country manager, who explained that Intel's approach to "eco-technology" is driven through four pillars: sustainable manufacturing, energy-efficient performance, design for the environment, and policy and industry.
According to Banaag, Intel has long been working on reducing the environmental impact of the company's operations through various initiatives like: solid waste and consumer recycling to reduce e-waste, packaging reductions of 16-40 per cent which decreased number of shipments and fuel consumption, and the pursuit of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for fabrication plants and buildings, among many others.
In the next five years, Banaag said Intel has the following environmental goals: to reduce absolute global warming gas footprint by 2012 from 2007 levels; reduce energy consumption per chip 5% per year from 2007 through 2012; ensure that Intel products maintain energy efficiency for the next two product generations; reduce water use per chip by 2012 from 2007 levels; reduce generation of chemical waste per chip by 10 per cent by 2012 from 2007 levels; and recycle 80 per cent of chemical and solid waste generated per year.
In terms of the products they will be releasing, Banaag says the company will continue to focus on delivering performance without compromising energy efficiency. The official said this is why the company has been generating better power by adding or improving cores on the CPU instead of just increasing processor core speed. Intel's newest 45nm processors are, likewise, lead- and halogen-free, the official said. Banaag likewise touted the use of solid-state drives in the future since, according to him, the requirements for cooling an SSD are much less. "Expect to have greater than a 5x reduction in power with the transition to SSDs," he said.
Banaag also shared that Intel, along with Google and the World Wildlife Fund, has been actively promoting the Climate Savers Computing Initiative which aims to improve computing energy efficiency by 50 per cent (by collectively saving $5.5 billion in energy costs) as well as to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by 54 million tons per year.
Meanwhile, HP has been just as busy with similar greening initiatives both internally and in the products that they come up with as they see more customers, especially enterprise consumers, are actually also beginning to look at what companies like HP are currently doing to promote greening.
Aside from its reduced energy consumption and recycling initiatives, HP has been coming up with flat panel displays instead of cathode ray tube (CRT) screens since the former are said to use less material and energy. The company has also been renewing its inkjet packaging and pouring in investments on energy-efficient product lines like the HP server processors, desk jet printers, laser jet printers, blade PCs, xw6400 workstation, and its servers and storage.
HP Philippines managing director David Tan shared that HP has collaborated with Dreamworks Animation in coming up with the Halo studio–a network of rooms that lets HP employees meet with colleagues from across the globe by providing life-size, real-time, eye-to-eye conferencing with no delay.
According to Tan, use of the Halo studio in global HP offices has led to productivity gains and huge travel cost savings. Asked whether the HP office in the Philippines shall have a Halo studio set up as well, Tan said the Philippines is one of the countries recommended to install Halo, most likely by next year.HP has also embarked on the "Planet Partners Program" which offers to take back end-of-life HP and non-HP computing equipment like PCs, handhelds, notebooks, servers, printers, etc., for recycling. According to Tan, HP has, in fact, recycled more than 250 million HP print cartridges worldwide since the inception of the Planet Partners program in 1991.In the future, Tan says HP will continue to "green" its operations by reducing their combined product and operations energy use and associated greenhouse gases (GHGs) by 25% in 2010 and recover 2 billion pounds of computing and printing equipment by 2010.Citing data from an International Data Corporation (IDC) study Tan said 80% of HP's global customers today evaluate environmental practices as part of purchasing and 55% actually give preferred status to vendors who address environmental issues. "We see this more from corporate clients and global customers coming here who ask about our CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiatives. In the Philippines, questions are coming more from corporate clients but we are increasingly seeing interest from customers about our green initiatives," Tan said.

eCommerce revenues are soaring around the globe. This year, the US, Western Europe, and China alone will generate over $800 billion in online retail sales. Growth rates, too, remain staggering in many countries: China's massive online retail market will more than double between 2013 and 2018, as will Brazil's. India's much smaller market will grow by eight-fold during this timeframe.
However, a litany of businesses have failed as they attempted to tap into shoppers outside of their home markets, with many large US and European brands factoring prominently on the list of casualties. eCommerce is no exception: Numerous eCommerce businesses have taken the plunge into new markets, only to find their offerings didn't resonate with local consumers or they were outsmarted by much savvier local rivals.

This is a guest post by Lily Varon, a researcher serving eBusiness & Channel Strategy professionals.
The breakneck pace of technology innovation and changing consumer behavior is having a profound impact on business. To keep up with business growth plans, competitive threats, and consumer demands, online companies must support global markets, digitally empowered customers, and evolving sales and service channels, putting ever-more stress on the eCommerce engine.
eBusiness professionals are taking stock of their legacy or incumbent eCommerce technology and finding that the solutions aren't tactically functional, aren't omnichannel-ready, and/or aren't leveraging sophisticated enough data insights to deliver on the demands in the age of the customer.
The technology powering eCommerce is becoming more complicated, too. There are more stakeholders than ever, more data, more integrations, and so on. In many cases, replatforming projects run over budget and are delivered late. Talk to any eBusiness leader who has been through the process, and you're bound to hear a war story or two. These projects are never easy, but as eCommerce technology — and the market that drives it — evolves, replatforming initiatives are inevitable.
Selecting the right commerce platform for your business is important. But a car needs more than an engine to both function and be used to its full potential. eBusiness professionals must understand the following before embarking on an eCommerce replatforming program:

Back in July 2012, I authored a post about Pitney Bowes and the company's focus on reinventing itself. At that time, the company had a great portfolio of software assets and a good overall market message — but its market approach was fragmented, its solutions were not integrated, and it was a difficult company to figure out from the perspective of a customer or prospect. About 15 months ago, Pitney Bowes appointed Marc Lautenbach as its new CEO to address these issues.
Fast forward to today. Last week I had the opportunity to spend some time with Marc while he was in Sydney. In his brief time with the company, he has sorted out a number of the challenges I was referring to — including giving the firm a laser-sharp focus on a few key areas, bringing traditional assets into the digital world, refining its sales model, and leveraging those areas in which it has competitive advantage.
Marc sees PB's main opportunities in the following areas:

Target: Environment for Development
Goal: Stop the use of pesticides that are harming coffee trees in Guatemala and Central America
A tree fungus, known as the coffee rust fungus, is affecting coffee trees especially hard this growing season. The outbreak is occurring predominately in Guatemala and Central America, the world's largest coffee growing nations. This ravenous fungus threatens to halve the 2013-14 coffee harvest requiring Guatemala's coffee industry to declare a state of emergency. Ecologists and researchers are blaming the coffee rust fungus outbreak on the use pesticides and fungicides. By applying the sprays to coffee crops, an important organism that would normally attack the coffee rust is decimated in the process. Urge Environment for Development in Central America to advocate against the use of pesticides that are threatening to destroy coffee trees in Central America..
Coffee rust, scientifically known as Hemileia vastatrix, dates all the way back to the 1860s, originating from Sri Lanka. The fungus occurs seasonally, predominantly in Central America, in the form of a bright orange residue on the edges of coffee leaves. As the fungus enters the leaf via pores, it consumes tissue inside of the leaf until it dies and falls off the branch. If enough leaves die, the plant is compromised and cannot produce adequate amounts of coffee berries.
Researchers were first suggesting that the intensity of this year's fungus was due to climate change. Dr. Vandermeer, an ecologist and coffee researcher at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, is relating the root cause to the use of pesticides and fungicides stating that the sprays are also wiping out the white halo fungus. This fungus is actually an important organism that aids in fighting off harmful fungi, such as coffee rust.
Moreover, scientists are agreeing on Mother Nature's helpful way of keeping the coffee rust fungus at bay by means of a rain storm to cleanse the air of any lingering spores, either in the air or on the leaves themselves. However, studies have observed that the fungus thrives in moist, humid conditions so any prolonged rainfall patterns will only make the outbreak worse. Dr. Vandermeer suggests that long-term solutions should be applied to reduce the use of pesticides in order for natural controls to reinstate themselves. Insist that members of Environment for Development in Central America advocate for halting the use of harmful pesticides that are destroying coffee crops.
Dear Members of Environment for Development, Central America,
The coffee rust fungus that occurs seasonally is attacking coffee crops especially hard this growing season in Guatemala and Central America. Because the fungus is destroying trees at such a rapid pace, Guatemala's coffee industry is declaring a state of emergency. Estimates show that if the fungus continues killing trees at this rate, it will threaten to cut this year's harvest in half.
Trying to find the cause of the fungus, some researchers relate the destruction to climate change while others are strictly adamant that the root of the cause is due to the use of pesticides. The sprays are knocking out the white halo fungus which is actually beneficial in that it attacks the coffee rust fungus, able to stave off the disease. Therefore, I urge you to take action in stopping the use of harmful fungicides and pesticides in order to stimulate natural controls back into the trees.

Bangkok (The Nation/ANN) - While SMEs are crying over the blanket 300 baht (US$10) wage, fierce competition in some industries and the scarcity of skilled workers is pushing the daily pay of some above 500 baht.
For the past eight years, Narong Jampatho, 30, a tile layer, has never found difficulty in finding someone willing to pay him 700 baht per day, allowing him to earn 20,000 baht a month. Some of his relatives from Nong Bua Lamphu are also in Bangkok at his persuasion.
"It's not a permanent job, but I enjoy my freedom. I work to get paid and rest when I want to. Working for a company is tiring and pays less. The government's wage hike policy has no merit for us, as we've been earning at least 500 baht a day since the floods," he said.
Narong is one of about 10,000 workers living along Keep Moo Road, which, according to the master's thesis of a Sri Pathum University student, is now the country's largest day labour market, mostly for the construction industry.
Most are from northeastern provinces like Buri Ram, Si Sa Ket and Surin. Mixing with them are migrants from Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos who can speak Thai. They demand at least 500 baht a day, while the very skilled ones can command 900 baht.
Prakiat Kaewkhamharn, 48, an electrical system contractor, said he pays 600 baht for tile layers. "It's high but we have to take it, as we can't find other workers."
At dawn every day, the day workers line up for one kilometre on the small road, which connects to Ram Intra Road, waiting for contractors or employers. It has become the usual scene for contractors in their pickup trucks to show up, while even individuals who want to do small-scale renovations to their houses bypass builders and come and pick up workers with the skills they require.
For big or small projects, wage negotiations are necessary as the skilled workers quote at least 500 baht. These contractors have to yield to get the best workers at the lowest rates.
Thanks to the burgeoning demand for skilled workers due to the 2011 flood and recovery in property sales, these workers can insist on above-normal rates for their work.
Five years ago, only 3,000 workers sold their labour here, estimates Prasit Sakuma, a Muslim community leader. Their numbers shot up last year, when the need for extra labour to fix flood damage was very high. About 70-80 per cent of them would find jobs every day, while the rest, who had low skills or were choosy or lazy, could get hired every few days.
According to the thesis authored in 2011 by Phinyo Bunchuay, the community's original members were only 935, mostly Muslims, in 185 households. The paper's estimate of the total pool of workers by then is 5,000-8,000.
"The workers bring in good money, with 2.5 million baht in cash circulating every day. The areas that used to be farms and weed patches are now full of housing and apartments," said Usaman Kaewkes, leader of a nearby Muslim community that shares the Arabic name of Keep Moo with an old mosque in the neighbourhood.
Most of the many accommodations for low-income earners are low-priced quarters built in and around the road. The area is also filled with mom-and-pop shops and grocery stores whose sales have surged along with the increase of workers living there and those living elsewhere who come and go.
Land prices have also soared to 10 million bath per rai from 2 million baht just 10 years ago.
However, the hordes of workers migrating to Bangkok looking for better opportunities means more crime, and especially frequent drunken brawls among workers, which is not welcomed by the original, mostly Muslim residents of the area.
The Islamic culture was under threat, with booze being widely sold and drunk. However, about 80 per cent of the workers behave and police have taken care of the troublemakers.
Keep Moo Road could grow more famous, as the labour deficit - now topping the list of business risks for property and construction firms in 2013 - could worsen. With a low unemployment rate of 0.6 per cent, or only 232,400 jobless, the construction, infrastructure and manufacturing industries are now facing a shortfall of about 200,000 hands.
Bank of Thailand data also show that the labour market has tightened. Employment was up 0.7 per cent to 39.2 million as of September from the same month last year, while the average paycheque also rose by 7.9 per cent.
The rush for manpower is anticipated to pick up when the government's mega infrastructure projects are kicked off. While they will attract minimum-wage workers, it also means abundant openings are out there for skilled ones who can charge well above 300 baht a day.

text: I installed the Volant intake on my 10 Escalade last night. I must say I was a bit disappointed in the instructions as they seemed to apply more towards a pick up truck. Also, the mold on the plastic tube looked cheap. Also, I really did not like how the air hose attached. The sound is definately deeper and I am interested to see if there is any differance in fuel economy. The performance seems about the same.


text: So about a month ago i bought a 04 wrx with 50,000 miles but tonight i noticed something weird. When im in 4th or 5th gear ill rev to say 3,000 rpm and my rpms will rev really fast say to 4,000 and drop down back to 3 and do it again and everythings good. Any idea whats causing it?

With the option to rent the adjoining one bedroom Cabin for other couples in your party. Fully equiped amenities for the most fullfilling vacation with friends and family.
We have snorkel gear, mountain bikes, even golf clubs!
The home was very comfortable for our group of six. The kitchen was well equipped and there were two grills to choose from. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone, since it was still a little too cool for the pool. However, this did not phase our 13 year old. The home, pool and yard are clean and well maintained. The center of historic St. George was an easy 5 min. walk, where there were several restaurants and a small grocery store. We did most of our grocery shopping at the larger stores closer to Hamilton on the way home from our island adventures. There is a bus stop very close to the house and the buses and ferries were an easy way to get around the island. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We were happy that we stayed in St. George instead of the city of Hamilton.
Quarterdeck was really a great property for our crew of 7...
Well appointed with plenty of room...kitchen was excellent with all necessities...views were incredible...really enjoyed the outdoor grill, pool, and dining area...5 minute walk to town...beaches were 20 min walk...we really were glad to be out of the congested south shore area... It does take a bit of travel time to see other side of island... A highlight was skiff rental out to Castle Point... Also be sure and go to Cooper island Preserve on St David's.. Quarterdeck made us feel part of St George's!! Outstanding!
The Quarterdeck and cabin was the perfect vacation home for myself and 8 friends to spend our five days in Bermuda. There was so much space, a gorgeous view that could not be beat, and a pool that served as the ideal spot to end our nights with an evening swim. Robert was so helpful throughout the stay, and gave us the best recommendation for restaurants (go to The Beach House for a fancy meal!). The house was very clean and well-equipped with everything from kitchen wares to tote bags for groceries. The location is perfect for walking to the bus, ferry, Tobacco Bay, and historic St George. I spent the final morning lazing in the hammock, which is situated right in the shade. It was paradise, and I will definitely stay here again when I return to Bermuda!
The Quarterdeck property was a fantastic place to vacation! My husband and I stayed with two other couples for a week of incredible views, comfortable accommodations, and a wonderful host in Robert. He was very attentive to our stay, checking in once in awhile to see if we needed anything. This beautiful home is a short walk to the buses, ferry, and the lovely town of St. George, which offered anything you could possibly need. We are extremely grateful to Robert for sharing his beautiful home with us. We have already booked again for next year!
We were a party of six women, ranging in ages of 56 to 60. Four stayed in the main house and two in the Quarterdeck Cabin. I have rented homes before, but never received the personal attention that we received from Robert. He was there on the first day to explain how things worked and, again, on the last day to bid farewell. He offered excellent suggestions for our first visit to Bermuda. This was the best vacation rental that I have experienced and the house was the cleanest that I have experienced. I will definitely be returning!
My husband and I along with 5 other family members recently stayed at Quarterdeck. We were all visiting Bermuda for the first time for a wedding as well as a vacation! Each and everyone one of us had the most amazing stay. The house is beautiful (newly renovated wood floors look amazing!) everything from the kitchen (with a wine fridge and some treats - Thank you Robert!) to our bedrooms and the pool was absolutely perfect. Robert was an excellent host and was excellent at suggesting things for us to do in Bermuda. There are snorkels and such available to use, which my husband and I took to the beach one day! We only stayed for 5 nights but all of us are already talking about coming back and booking the place again for a longer stay next time. Thank you again Robert for being so accommodating to our family we cannot wait to stay at Quarterdeck again!
Located on a hillside in a very private neighborhood in a garden setting but within walking distance to the Town of St. George - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Besides exploring the local beaches and quaint streets of the old town a must do is to swim in the caves at Grotto Bay and the Blue Grotto your host can provide info on any specific activities you are looking to enjoy.

Path planning, guidance and control for a UAV forced landing
Eng, Pillar C.S. (2011) Path planning, guidance and control for a UAV forced landing. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
Pillar Eng Thesis
A forced landing is an unscheduled event in flight requiring an emergency landing, and is most commonly attributed to engine failure, failure of avionics or adverse weather. Since the ability to conduct a successful forced landing is the primary indicator for safety in the aviation industry, automating this capability for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will help facilitate their integration into, and subsequent routine operations over civilian airspace. Currently, there is no commercial system available to perform this task; however, a team at the Australian Research Centre for Aerospace Automation (ARCAA) is working towards developing such an automated forced landing system. This system, codenamed Flight Guardian, will operate onboard the aircraft and use machine vision for site identification, artificial intelligence for data assessment and evaluation, and path planning, guidance and control techniques to actualize the landing. This thesis focuses on research specific to the third category, and presents the design, testing and evaluation of a Trajectory Generation and Guidance System (TGGS) that navigates the aircraft to land at a chosen site, following an engine failure. Firstly, two algorithms are developed that adapts manned aircraft forced landing techniques to suit the UAV planning problem. Algorithm 1 allows the UAV to select a route (from a library) based on a fixed glide range and the ambient wind conditions, while Algorithm 2 uses a series of adjustable waypoints to cater for changing winds. A comparison of both algorithms in over 200 simulated forced landings found that using Algorithm 2, twice as many landings were within the designated area, with an average lateral miss distance of 200 m at the aimpoint. These results present a baseline for further refinements to the planning algorithms. A significant contribution is seen in the design of the 3-D Dubins Curves planning algorithm, which extends the elementary concepts underlying 2-D Dubins paths to account for powerless flight in three dimensions. This has also resulted in the development of new methods in testing for path traversability, in losing excess altitude, and in the actual path formation to ensure aircraft stability. Simulations using this algorithm have demonstrated lateral and vertical miss distances of under 20 m at the approach point, in wind speeds of up to 9 m/s. This is greater than a tenfold improvement on Algorithm 2 and emulates the performance of manned, powered aircraft. The lateral guidance algorithm originally developed by Park, Deyst, and How (2007) is enhanced to include wind information in the guidance logic. A simple assumption is also made that reduces the complexity of the algorithm in following a circular path, yet without sacrificing performance. Finally, a specific method of supplying the correct turning direction is also used. Simulations have shown that this new algorithm, named the Enhanced Nonlinear Guidance (ENG) algorithm, performs much better in changing winds, with cross-track errors at the approach point within 2 m, compared to over 10 m using Park's algorithm. A fourth contribution is made in designing the Flight Path Following Guidance (FPFG) algorithm, which uses path angle calculations and the MacCready theory to determine the optimal speed to fly in winds. This algorithm also uses proportional integral- derivative (PID) gain schedules to finely tune the tracking accuracies, and has demonstrated in simulation vertical miss distances of under 2 m in changing winds. A fifth contribution is made in designing the Modified Proportional Navigation (MPN) algorithm, which uses principles from proportional navigation and the ENG algorithm, as well as methods specifically its own, to calculate the required pitch to fly. This algorithm is robust to wind changes, and is easily adaptable to any aircraft type. Tracking accuracies obtained with this algorithm are also comparable to those obtained using the FPFG algorithm. For all three preceding guidance algorithms, a novel method utilising the geometric and time relationship between aircraft and path is also employed to ensure that the aircraft is still able to track the desired path to completion in strong winds, while remaining stabilised. Finally, a derived contribution is made in modifying the 3-D Dubins Curves algorithm to suit helicopter flight dynamics. This modification allows a helicopter to autonomously track both stationary and moving targets in flight, and is highly advantageous for applications such as traffic surveillance, police pursuit, security or payload delivery. Each of these achievements serves to enhance the on-board autonomy and safety of a UAV, which in turn will help facilitate the integration of UAVs into civilian airspace for a wider appreciation of the good that they can provide. The automated UAV forced landing planning and guidance strategies presented in this thesis will allow the progression of this technology from the design and developmental stages, through to a prototype system that can demonstrate its effectiveness to the UAV research and operations community.

hey guys, wassup?
I'm having this problem that is driving me nuts... Two problems, actually.
I'm modeling an Galaxy using a particle system. It's in Dome Master format, so it's rendered in Cycles, since Blender Internal does not support fisheye cameras.
The idea is to rotate the galaxy, and elevate the camera in a plongée view. The think is, I've tried to rotate the particle system (using an empty as a parent). I've tried to rotate the camera. Both works on the viewport, but it stops working after I render the animation. If I try to render individual frames, the galaxy rotates, but it won`t rotate if I render the whole animation.
The other problem is related to the render farm. As you can see in the animation, some frames change color. This is because one machine on our render farm is not rendering correctly. I had the same problem with a car animation. I had a 3D text, and in some frames, the text changed size.
I really don't know to do. Please, help

Modus worked with Graven Images to produce a range of bespoke furniture for this five star boutique hotel in Glasgow.
Located in the centre of Glasgow, the building, which dates back to 1823, was previously the home of the Royal Scottish Automobile Club. Under the guidance of Graven Images the building has been restored into a five star hotel and spa with 100 guest rooms including a penthouse with its own private lift and terrace area.
Modus worked alongside Graven images to produce a range of furniture from dining and lounge chairs, sofas and bar stools, coffee and bar tables, to conference room furniture and a 5m long parquet topped private dining table. All upholstery was upholstered in Harris Tweed, the first time that the fabric had been used on a commercial furniture project since it was used on the QE2, including the signature Blythswood chair, an organic chair produced using a GRP frame and upholstered in tweed with a buttoning detail and stained oak legs.
In total over 40 different designs of furniture were produced in under a six month period. All 100 rooms, public spaces, bars, restaurant and spa were designed by Graven images and furnished by Modus.
Within months of opening, Blythswood Square was listed in the Condenast hot list 2010 as well as being awarded Scottish hotel of the year.

EPA Clean Air Rules Prompt CPS Energy to Close Coal Burning Power Plant
Tough U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules covering emissions from coal fired power plants have prompted CPS Energy to close it's oldest power generating station fifteen years ahead of schedule, 1200 WOAI news reports.
CPS Energy has notified the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which runs the state's power grid, that the Deely One and Two power stations on Calaveras Lake will be closed by the end of 2018.
The Deely Plant, with it's twin generating stations, is the oldest facility in CPS Energy's arsenal of power generating plants. But it has been plagued with problems recently, most notably an explosion in a coal lifting machine which put the plant out of production for several weeks.
CPS Energy CEO Doyle Beneby says it would cost $550 million to install all of the needed scrubbers to bring the plant into compliance with EPA point source pollution rules.
The Deely Plant, which came on line in 1977, was not supposed to be retired until 2033.
But environmental groups, which have long called the plant 'Dirty Deely' due to its coal emissions, won't be shedding any tears.
"The retirement of the Deely coal plants will mean cleaner air to breathe and fewer people with asthma," said Karen Haddon, a veteran environmentalist.
CPS Energy says it is working to find generating capacity to replace the 871 megawatts of energy that Deely has been producing to keep the lights on in San Antonio since 1977.
The utility recently purchased the 800 megawatt Rio Nogales natural gas fired power station, and says due to that, as well as greater efficiency in use of electricity, a replacement for the power being lost with the closure of Deely will not be necessary until 2020 at the earliest.

A reviewer friend once asked me if it is acceptable to praise a movie for what it's not. After seeing "Julie & Julia," I'm finally ready to answer: "Yes!"
Judd Apatow has decided to grow up, and we should all rejoice.
Sitting through "Orphan" is like being forced, like Alex in "A Clockwork Orange," to watch videos of child abuse. This is easily the worst film of the year, and it exploits child actors so shamelessly I can scarcely believe it's legal. I've seen plenty of bad movies, but it's a rare film that sends me into moral outrage.
Harry Potter comes to our rescue this week. The sixth installment of the Potter series will undoubtedly banish all gay caricatures and obnoxious robots to the bottom of the box office top 10, even though the movie doesn't offer the pyrotechnics we usually expect during summer.
What kind of a world do we live in when "Brüno" opens to fanfare and a wide release, yet an instant science fiction classic like "Moon" barely makes it to theaters?
"Public Enemies" makes a rather strange midsummer release. This somber gangster piece set in the 1930s comes out at a time when transforming robots and Sacha Baron Cohen's latest affront to comedic taste ("Bruno") look sure to rule the box office for weeks.
"Transformers 2" features the most impressive robots ever programmed into a computer and many battalions of heavily-armed American military men, all of whom blow up everything in sight. And all this carnage adds up to a dizzying, exhausting, loud, clanging, clanking, whirring, headache-inducing scrap pile of a movie.
"Away We Go" provides perfect counterprogramming for those who aren't impressed by computer-generated dinosaurs, overblown violence and all the other trappings of summer blockbusters.
So right now you're thinking, a review of "Up," isn't Marker a little late on this one?
"Land of the Lost," this week's only big-budget release, brings an end to this summer's streak of solid releases. It's the immediate frontrunner in the race for worst summer movie.
Sam Raimi has gone back to using his powers for evil, and it's a good thing.
It's mid-May and we're already two releases into summer: "Wolverine" (yawn) and "Star Trek" (neat-o!). From now until September, the movie forecast calls for enormous explosions, spectacular special effects and mediocre writing. Surprisingly, there's also some comedy and romance for those who don't eat testosterone for breakfast. Here are the summer movies on our radar.
It's difficult to overhaul any successful TV or movie series, but when that series is "Star Trek," it seems downright impossible. Gene Roddenberry's original series has spawned many spinoffs, but fans tend to get a little touchy when someone tampers with Kirk, Spock and the rest of the Enterprise crew.
"Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" marks a great departure for Matthew McConaughey as an actor: he only takes his shirt off once in this movie.
We're past the midway point of this year's outstanding edition of the Atlanta Film Festival. Here's a look at a few of the best films to screen so far.

Cat 5 internal wiring, single strand or multiple?
Cat 5 has 8 strands. For internal wiring, is it best to use a single strand for each terminal or four strands for each, or something in between? Or wires of 8 strands each?
What about stripping the outer sheathing off and using the wires loose or keeping it as one 'big' wire except at the ends?
What's the consensus? I see this mentioned a lot, but no one explains exactly how they use it.
All of the above have been done, and more variations besides. There's no consensus because audiophiles never seem to agree on anything!
In the pair of BIB's I'm building I'm using all eight strands, 4 colors for +, 4 white for -. For a longer run, I might braid three runs of Cat 5, and then terminate them the same way (12 for +, 12 for -).
Thanks. For what it's worth, on the last three projects I have built, I used four strands each, like you. It seemed the simplest and least fussy way to do it.
I would braid even more, perhaps 24 strands for + and another 24 strands for ground, using braided 3×CAT5 as ls connect sucks, not enough bass, braided cable made from 2×12×0,75 mm2 sounded ways better
You didn't state what drivers you are using, but let's assume that you are using reasonably efficient full-rangers. That means that you max power levels are in the 5 watt range. A 3 ' run of single pair Cat5 gives you about 0.15 ohm for the out and back. Assuming an 8 ohm driver, that gives you a 2% voltage drop in the wiring. Some one else can finish the math, but this is an inaudible drop in SPL. There is no need for more than a single pair of Cat5 for internal wiring in a reasonably high efficiency speaker.
Using the same logic, my 12' speaker cables are 2 pair star wound Cat5. This is probably over-kill, but I've at least done SOMETHING more than just a single run of Cat5. The high count Cat5 cable formulas make no sense except to jack the cable capacitance out of sight.
I have seen the CAT5 recommendation. I like it because you have separately insulated cores.
Try adopting different core combinations for the different drivers.
Two or three pairs (.4sqmm/.6sqmm) for the treble driver. Four pairs (.8sqmm) for the midrange driver. Six or eight pairs (1.2sqmm/1.6sqmm) for the bass driver.
For the short runs inside the speaker these should adequately cope with voltage drops and heat generation.
Have you considered using the CAT5 option for the external cables? They are relatively cheap, even if you go for 8pairs upto 3m long and 12pairs for 3m to 6m long. 12 pairs at 6m long per channel comes to 36m of CAT5 or about $10 for stereo. Bi-wiring only adds $5 for the treble units or a total of about $20 to tri-wire at 6m long to each side.
I've used single Cat5, four (4) pair per terminal with 85db drivers with success. Length of run was approx. 5'. Has anyone done a Litz wire braid with smallish guage wire?
I've used Cat 5, just splitting up a single run as stated above, 4 wires per side. When doing this, it's been said it's best to split the solids and stripes to + and -. Each twist inside the outer housing twists at a different rate, so their shielded by design.
I've tried one wire per side, (+ and-) and didn't care for it, no low end. Could work for supertweets though.
However, I'm now using 47 labs OTA with 1 wire per + and -. Has to be about the same gage as Cat 5, strange thing is, this seems to work realy well with plenty of low end. Truly wonderful wire if you can swing it, or find smaller pieces for sale.
I believe using 4+/4- of 24ga solid core stuff is approximately 15ga effective, right? I don't hear any difference using runs like this as external speaker cable from my nice 10ga runs or the same length. Its "probably" "just fine" to use ;)
FYI Bob Brines: Right now, I'm working with a Fostex FE108 Sigma, 92 dB. Given your input, it sounds like any full ranger or two-way would be covered by one 8-strand cable (or more if the builder chooses).
Well, it's a relief to know that just about any combination will work for short runs. So I'm just going to stick with four strands each in the future for full rangers.
one1speed: I just realized, aren't the solids and stripes of each color in the same twist? If so how could they be twisted differently. Now I'm confused. It's almost lunch, so I will go look at some cable and get right back.
ps: I edited my original reply to one1speed.

What would you like to do?
How long can you hold your pee?
I've heard that holding it for 24 hours is when you might have to start worrying about infection, but even before that if your bladder is extremely full there is also a danger of rupturing your bladder (if in a car accident for example). Also remember the lady in California who died in the radio contest last year I think it was (hold your wee for a wii) - although I think her death was caused basically by an overdose of water (coupled with not peeing any of it out). I'm sure you don't have to worry about holding it for 3 or even 8 hours while sleeping!
I held my pee for about three days at a competition with my mates (I'm a boy). On the third day I really had to go and it was class and my other mate that was still holding on peed in his pants (this is true) and then I was just sat their all the time in class clutching onto my **** and everyone asked me what was wrong and I said nothing. Then I had to get home quickly because my brother was hurt or something (I was 15, he was 11 and Mum and Dad we're out). But on the way back it was coming out so I just let go onto a tree! It felt so good! But three days is my record!

Thanks for the feedback!
Why can't we hold our pee?
We are often unable to hold our own urine because of our bladders. Our bladders must be emptied or else they will implode. Your body senses this and sends a message to your br…ain of discomfort, alas making you relieve yourself in the nearest lavatory.
How long is the pee holding time?
the record is 21 days but it's bad to hold it that long
Why do you hold your pee?
Generally because the moment provides no bathroom or because the moment is too special to leave. OR: Someone's making you wait and you can't go until they're done talking. *Li…ke if your in trouble with a parent or friend* Or at times a person doesn't feel comfortable telling someone else the need to go. (Which Is commen* I think. lol. Or that your just being lazy don't be lazy. Trust me!
How long can your puppy hold his pee?
Usually they can hold it one hour past their month age number- for example: a puppy who is three months old can usually hold it for four hours, a five-month-old for six hours,… a six-month-old for seven. Although depending on how much they drink it can be sooner or later. Usually a puppy will also give signs when it has to go.
How do girls hold their pee?
well there are many ways girls can hold it (I'm a girl myself and i play hold it a lot) 1. cross legs 2. fan legs 3. grab it 4. tell a guy they have to pee (guys say h…old it for me) 5. sit on something to relieve pressure (heel) 6. sit down and lean forward 7. girls have strong muscles because they use them to help do IT and have babies 8. if a girl is convinced the only bathroom is disgusting a "panic" reflex will happen in her south muscles 9. completion's sake also triggers "panic" reflex Your bladder can hold up to 2 cups of urine for about 5 hours. But since urine contains waste products, don't hold it for long if you can help it, because holding it could promote urinary tract infections (UTI).
How long can you hold in your pee?
If you really need to pee like if it's an Emergency.. Only hold It for 20 to 30 minutes cause if you hold your pee in too long.. Your bladder will explode than you will have… to get surgery..
Why does it hurt when you hold your pee?
It hurts to hold your pee because when the bladder is full, it starts to swell and make you uncomfortable.
How can you get your dog to hold his pee overnight?
To get your dog to hold his pee overnight is the same thing as getting YOU to hold YOUR pee at night. END.OF.SENTENCE. ...well...you could try not giving it water...but you'll… end up harming his health...so...not really a good idea...
Can you die from holding in your pee?
No, you can not... just there is a slight chance that your bladder could explode Not explode but it could get damage the muscle's around the bladder could weaken causes one …weak bladder meaning IF you held the urge to go you'd go in your pants in about 3 to 4 seconds So instead of holding it why not just go? I mean seriously! LOL
What is the muscle called that holds the pee?
it is called the sphincter.
How do you hold your pee when there is no bathroom?
just dont pay attention to your bladder. if your a guy its easy if not its more challenging. if your a man you get a cloth or bandana and put it on your p e nis. then put a ru…bber band around it then the pee is forced to stay in. take the rubber band off every 5 minutes and put it back on is 5 minutes to get blood circulation. while its off you many need to use your muscles and hands to hold your pee. if your a girl put your finger over your pee hole then the pee is forced to stay in. it will give you tingly feelings though.i hope this answer helps.
How long can you pee?
hmm... usually around 1 to 2 hours minimum... maximum?? about 3 days
In Animal Life
Why do koala bears pee on you when you hold them?
Well, almost all animals do that when they don't know you, so there scared to death so the pee.
Why do women like to hold their pee?
They do not..They have smaller bladders than guys, and could get very uncomfortable.
In Health
Is it bad to hold your pee?
my sister does nursing in her high school and YES it is bad to hold your pee. i think it could lead to..... i dont know i forgot what she told me, but yes holding your pee is …bad.
How do you hold pee in if you are a girl?
Cross your legs...
How do you hold your pee in?
A common way is to tighten the voluntary muscles that control urine flow (the external urethral sphincter), by pressing in, crossing your legs, or squeezing your legs together…. This will only work until the muscles tire or the pressure from the bladder becomes too great. It is not healthy to hold back urine flow for a long time. This can cause your bladder to distend and invites tissue damage or infection. It also tires and stresses the abdominal muscles. How you can tell those who need to go When sitting, they rock back and forth with legs squeezed together. If standing, they sway on their feet. (Crossing your legs while swaying on your feet is very obvious.) This should be addressed immediately. Meaning if someone saw them doing that, they'd tell them to go immediately. Either that or they won't be able to hold it any longer. Most would try anything rather than hold their privates, especially in front of someone else! (That would be the most embarrassing thing ever.) If There's No Possible Bathroom or time to go, or privacy time: The smartest thing to do is find a towel *that's thick* Place it between your legs and wet it. Make sure if people are around you *You don't make any noise and make sure the towel sits properly or else they'll know what your doing -- another embarrassing thing. AND it can be difficult if there are many people around. or if your not comfortable with the idea of purposely wetting a towel. *Don't do it all the time people will soon start to wonder what you do when you sneak away* If you have to in order to pee in the towel in private. *What should you do with it when your done? Simply wash it or throw it out* Use an old towel or a pillow that no one's using.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
I did a search and know that I have to be specific and stand out but for someone starting out it just isn't enough.
Granted, you have to try, but I would certainly welcome suggestions for books that would help with writing very concise ad copy. I have read Tested Advertising Methods and learned a lot from it.
Other books, resources or tips posted here of via stickymail would be greatly appreciated.
1, put your self in the users shoes, what would they want!
2, look at some of the most competitive industries to see how they are tackling the problem.
3, try, try and try again, eventually enough fine tuning will get it right.
Without a doubt being able to write good copy is the only way to be truly successful with PPC. So, for newbies such as myself what practical tips, advice, suggestions would you give?
A few very basic things, overlooked by a surprising number of advertisers:
* Take your time! Lots of advertiser want to create their campaigns at the speed of light, and then get on to the next thing - and they write their ads as if it doesn't matter how good they are. Believe me, it matters.
* Follow standard language conventions, for whichever language you are composing in.
* Make sure you ad is absolutely free of errors (yes it will be reviewed and perhaps disapproved if it doesn't meet the Editorial Guidelines), but it will also run for awhile before the review.
* Read the ad aloud to yourself - or have someone read it to you. Does it sound good? OK, this may be a little warm and fuzzy, but a lot of people sort of 'read aloud' to themselves. I really believe that your ad has to sound good.
* Does the ad 'look good' on the page? Yep, I believe this matters too.
BTW, Shak's first tip is invaluable. It is so good, here it is again:
1, put your self in the users shoes, what would they want!
To his advice, I'd add that, as you evaluate your ads, forget everything you know about your business and your site. All a user knows about you is what they see in your ad. So try to look at it from that perspective.
"Do you want something for nothing?" [Yes]
"Then click HERE!" [click]
Apologies for such a glib example, but I suspect you'll understand the idea? [YES]
My best ads are the ones that are relatively straighforward. Title is relevant to what they search on. First line generally qualifies them/describes what I'm offering, and second line I try some basic call to action.
So first line is:
fast and easy widget quotes online.
second line is:
run your own widget quote here.
And that's it. Where I test is stuff like "fast and easy' vs. 'easy and fast' or 'fast and easy online widget quotes'. That's where I find my magic - testing the simple stuff. Works for me - anytime I've tried to be a smarty pants and start to read the experts on copyright I tend to do poorly.
The key here is that people are looking to buy, not be sold. And the beauty of the web is that they have the choice - if you try and sell them, they'll move to the next ad.

Tuesday November 5th, 2013 1:22am
Bryn Mawr, ranked fourth in ILWomen's Preseason High School Rankings, and St. Stephen's & St. Agnes, ranked fifth, met in a key interstate matchup on Saturday afternoon. A dreary and misty afternoon followed by heavy rain that persisted through most of the second half didn't prevent a thrilling game that came down to the wire, as SSSA led 12-9 with 5:45 remaining in the game only to see Bryn Mawr come roaring back for a 14-13 victory as time expired.
All stats are unofficial, as I was keeping track of the game on my own.
A closely contested game throughout the first half, the teams were knotted at two before a Georgia Carroll free position goal put Bryn Mawr up 3-2. Michele Phillips's goal off a dodge from the top of the eight knotted it at three and Carly Reed and Margaret Tucker Fogarty each scored to give SSSA a 5-3 lead midway through the half. With the Saints controlling possession and the pace of the game, Bryn Mawr coach Wendy Kridel called a timeout when the team trailed 6-3.
The team responded, as junior midfielder Kate Snouffer scored on a great split dodge with a lefty finish and junior Ellie Knott scored off a roll dodge to bring the Mawrtians within a goal. Fogarty would score on a great free position shot to the top right corner before the half ended to give the Saints a 7-5 lead heading into the intermission.
With a boost from Carly Reed, SSSA built up a 12-8 lead with just under six minutes remaining. A great give-and-go play with Snouffer and Caroline Turco, who finished the game with at least three goals, resulted in another score for the Mawrtians and was the beginning of an impressive comeback. Snouffer assisted on the next goal as well, drawing the attention of the defense with a dodge and finding senior Kassandra Bowling inside to make it 12-10. Besser Dyson fed Carly Reed in front of the crease for the Saints' 13th goal of the day. It would also be their last. Turco and Bowling converted on free position opportunities and with 1:44 remaining, Snouffer took the ball on the near side wing, almost near the sideline and ran it in all the way, dodging through traffic on the eight and finishing with a sidearm shot just under the crossbar.
On the ensuing draw, SSSA sophomore attacker Katherine Cavallo was issued a yellow card, giving Bryn Mawr a man-up opportunity. Senior attacker Erica Matz scored with 22 seconds left to make it 14-13, which would also be the final score. The Saints got two decent looks on cage with time running out — one to Reed and another to Besser Dyson — but both players mishandled the pass in the flury of events going on in front of the net and the clock ticked down to zero.
According to the ILWomen preseason rankings — which will be updated for the first time in-season this week — it means the No. 4 team beat the No. 5 team.
For Bryn Mawr, it means their second win of this young season and serves as proof going forward that even when you face adversity, which in this case manifested itself in being down four goals with time winding down, that it's still possible to dig deep and pull out the win. For St. Stephen's & St. Agnes, it marks the first loss of the season heading into a game with perennial Florida power Vero Beach and shows that no lead is ever safe.
This game also showcased the importance of winning draws, particularly down the stretch. Bryn Mawr came up with draw after draw at the end of the second half, which not only gave them possession but was also key in the change in momentum.
Kate Snouffer, Junior, Midfield, Bryn Mawr
A good sized player with a long wingspan, Snouffer was an impact all over the field. She played solid defense, hustled to ground balls and was a consistent force on offense. Clearly a leader on the attacking end, she sees the field very well, knows when to go hard to goal and when to pass, which was perfectly exemplified by her assist on the game-tying goal.
Margaret Tucker Fogarty, Junior, Midfield, SSSA
Fogarty's impact on the draw cannot be overstated. Her athleticism was showcased on the draw, through the midfield and on the offense, where she contributed at least two goals on the day. She has a great stick and is a strong shooter who can place the ball with power very well.
Carly Reed, Junior, Attack, SSSA
As IL's No. 2 junior, Reed is no secret and the Bryn Mawr defense definitely paid a lot of attention to her, sliding quick and collapsing on her anytime she had the ball inside the eight. She still scored at least four goals, the most impressive of which was when she split through two defenders on the near side wing and finished up high with her shot hitting the inside of the far pipe and into the net.
Kassandra Bowling, Senior, Midfield, Bryn Mawr
You want to talk about clutch — Bowling came up huge for the Mawrtians in the biggest situations. There wasn't a draw that didn't somehow find its way into her stick in the final four minutes of play. She was everywhere — picking up ground balls, coming up with the draw clean on the circle and scoring two goals during the late comeback. When Bryn Mawr needed a big time play, they got it from Bowling.

For about the millionth time, Danario Alexander 's knees are getting in the way of his football career. The latest setback comes in the form of an infection in his right knee, which has required multiple surgeries, a source told FOX Sports' Alex Marvez. Alexander missed the entire 2013 season after tearing his right ACL during training camp. It all went downhill from there.
"Having undergone his initial ACL surgery last August following a preseason injury, Alexander suffered complications that required him to undergo a second reconstruction," Marvez wrote. "Infection followed that forced Alexander to receive intensive antibiotic treatment as well as the subsequent surgeries, the source said."
Marvez adds that this infection and the surgeries to battle it have "cast doubt upon whether Alexander ... will be able to play in 2014."
Fantasy Analysis:
Alexander will become a free agent next month, and although he is only 25 and had a small breakout in the 2012 season, it's hard to imagine any team being very interested in him and his woebegone knees. Alexander has had his right ACL repaired twice and has undergone five operations on his left knee, dating back to his college days at Missouri. It's really just an awful fate for a player with a lot of talent.

text: Wal-Mart launched a beta version of their movie download store today. The new service is available at http://www.walmart.com/videodownloads and is offering around 3,000 movies and television episodes from all the major movie studios and some TV networks. Wal-Mart's entry into this market is significant for a number of reasons. Early reports claimed that Wal-Mart felt their DVD sales would be hurt by online-download movie sales. As a result, Wal-Mart was said to be threatening movie studios against signing on with Apple's iTunes service. Apple's iTunes initially launched with only Disney movies and later added Paramount films in January. The article suggests that Wal-Mart's entry "now frees studios to cut deals with other online services". Wal-Mart's movie service is only available in Windows Media, so the movies are not playable on the Mac or iPod.
