text: my mini is due to arrive from TiVo today and I just realized it has no optical or coax dig audio out. My kuro plasma tv does have optical out but won't passthrough HDMI Audio via optical. Room is setup to use 5.1 Logitech z5500 sound system which has spdif but no HDMI input! So now I have to buy a HDMI switch with optical out to make this thing work? How much will this cost? I need to decide quick if I need to refuse my TiVo order and just run hdmi/optical cable to my second room and just wire both my tv's from the same xl4.

Nice shot!I agree with your view!Reading is a pleasure,it is a kind of enjoyment.
Great idea, wonderful images :-)
The Godfather
The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien...a Tour de Force for the human imagination. A great story with a magnificent set of characters which lead you deeper and deeper into the psyche...and oh, so very, very funny!
Thanks to all for your nice comments - I would like to mentione some of my favorite books - Paolo Coelho "Alchymist", Penny McLean Angels and James Herriot´s veterinary stories :-) and some book by Terry Pratchett whose humor is simply wonderful :-)
I love your images, and I love books. It's kind of an obsession with me. I, too, will be a bit trite and say that Grapes of Wrath and David Copperfield are my favorites. I like big, thick, luscious books that create world I can get lost in.
"Miele" thanks for your nice comment about our golden retriever, you have wonderful images of golden retriever with jolly woman in your portfolio as well.
I love the golden retriever and I love to read so I love your reading dog shot! One of my favourite book is "L'ombra del Vento" by Carlos Ruiz Zafòn
I have loved reading ever since I was a child also! Lately, I have been reading fiction books about the French Revolution - yes, the backdrop is a bit depressing and dark, but the heroes in the books seem to really shine brightly in the story! I really liked "A Tale of Two Cities" and "The Scarlet Pimpernel." Now I am reading all the sequels in the Scarlet Pimpernel series!!!
I love your astrology image above. Very well done. My favorite book in The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.
I love a good autobiography, but ones where the people that have written them or are written about have had a real substantial or meaningful impact on history and have had a positive influence in their short time here, this may not always be because of what they achieved while here but how they influenced us positively through their own actions.
So many, I love reading a lots of novels, Now I read lots of books about design so the best one is yet to come.
I'm a fan of many books, but "Crime and Punishment" and "Return of the Native" are a couple of favorites. My favorite photo book is "The Dramatic Portrait" by M. Grecco.
At the risk of sounding trite, "Pride and Prejudice" and "War and Peace".

Marlins: Sea of newness provides hope
A season of transition has begun for the (no longer Florida) Marlins. Now known as the Miami Marlins, the team will play in its long-awaited new ballpark, with new uniforms, a new logo, a new manager, and, it hopes, a renewed opportunity to become competitive in the National League East.
Owner Jeffrey Loria is hoping for a rebound from a 72-90 season marked by injuries.
"I think we can turn it around (in 2012)," says Loria, who thinks the lure of the 37,000-seat, retractable-roof park will improve attendance and enable the team to commit additional money to payroll.

"It's an exciting time for the organization," says president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest, who anticipates payroll to increase from about $57 million at the start of 2011 to more than $80 million. "The payroll is going up. We want to make a very good showing in the new ballpark and add excitement. There's a lot of things we'd like to do this winter."
The ballpark should have a long-term impact, both on basic economics and the ability to attract and keep talent.
"I think it will produce a very different feel for our players, who've been accustomed to playing in a multipurpose stadium where weather was a big challenge," Beinfest says. "Some of that will be in our rearview mirror. With the new stadium, I think this will be a very attractive venue.
Series: Organizational reports
Sports Weekly is taking an in-depth look at each major league organization during the offseason, starting with the teams with the worst records and moving up. We analyze what teams are doing to improve, look ahead to next season, share fun facts and more.
"Miami is a big-league city, attractive for a lot of reasons for players and their families. I think the ballpark will be an eye-opener, something that can change things in terms of making our team that much more attractive.
"Hopefully it will help with retention of players and open avenues that we haven't been able to dabble in as much as we'd like. Free agency is something we may be able to become more involved in."
Prospect report
The Marlins, who had been force-feeding top prospects to the major league level, found the well rather dry in 2011. Their best prospects, aside from third-base hopeful Matt Dominguez, could be two or three seasons away from making an impact.
Low-A Greensboro (N.C.), the South Atlantic League champion, offered the most hope in 2011; outfielders Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna showed promise, and Jacob Realmuto pushed Kyle Skipworth for the catcher of the future label.
The Marlins went for pitching in the early rounds of the 2011 draft, hoping to rekindle what had been a strength of the franchise.
Five of the most intriguing prospects:
-- OF Christian Yelich: The 19-year-old left-handed hitter and 2010 first-round pick batted .312 with 15 homers and 77 RBI at Greensboro last season. Hes an exciting package, a big guy (6-4) who throws very well and runs well enough to play center field, Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest says.
-- OF Marcell Ozuna: A right-handed hitter, Ozuna, 21, belted 23 homers for Greensboro and, though he throws and runs well, projects as a corner outfielder.
-- LHP Chad James: As James 10-25 record and 1.54 WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) in two professional seasons indicate, this 20-year-old and former first-rounder needs to harness his talents. He has above-average stuff, Beinfest says. When he throws strikes consistently, he can be very tough.
-- C Jacob Realmuto: A high school shortstop, Realmutos arm and athleticism prompted a move to behind the plate. The 20-year-old will need a bit of time to refine his defense and learn the nuances of calling a game. His learning curve is quick, Beinfest says.
-- 2B Noah Perio: Though a 39th-round draft pick in 2009, Perio, 20, has made great strides. He hit .295 with six homers, 30 doubles and 15 steals at Greensboro.
By Seth Livingstone
The team has met with prized free agents Albert Pujols and Jose Reyes and made both players offers. The Marlins have made an offseason splash by acquiring manager Ozzie Guillen in a deal with the Chicago White Sox.
"Hopefully I can bring energy, flavor and enthusiasm but the most important thing is a winning team," Guillen says.
Guillen acknowledges that one of his primary tasks will be getting the most out of enigmatic shortstop Hanley Ramirez, a .342 hitter in 2009 who batted .243 in his 2011 season, cut short by an injured left shoulder.
"One thing I guarantee you, he will be back where he was," Guillen says. "Hanley is the biggest piece of the puzzle, and I've got to make it work. You are going to see a different guy on the field. I guarantee when you see Hanley in spring training, he is going to have a smile."
Ramirez, recovering from shoulder surgery, says he's all for working with Guillen.
"Whatever Ozzie brings to make me better is good for me," Ramirez says. "I still have a lot to prove in this game. He's going to help me tremendously."
When it comes to adding personnel, the team is shopping for pitching to bolster a staff that was short of depth. Particularly missed was right-hander Josh Johnson, the NL ERA leader in 2010 who was limited to nine starts before being shelved by a shoulder injury.
As far as becoming and remaining competitive, Beinfest says his philosophy begins with pitching.
"Frontline starting pitching and plenty of it," he says. "We like our pitching when it's healthy. Having J.J. out for two-thirds of the year was tough and put a lot of stress on the rest of the rotation."
Ricky Nolasco is a solid second starter, but the Marlins haven't persuaded Javier Vazquez not to retire.
He was named NL pitcher of the month after going 5-0 with a 0.71 ERA in September. He finished 13-11 with a 3.69 ERA, with eight of the wins recorded after the All-Star break.
As the roster stands, they'll need results from young pitchers, including Anibal Sanchez, 27; Chris Volstad, 25; Brad Hand, 21; and Alex Sanabia, 23.
The Marlins could also use a true center fielder to complement Logan Morrison in left and Mike Stanton in right, a pair of young run producers. They could also benefit from another big bat in the middle of the lineup to protect Stanton.
The Marlins need to stay healthy in 2012, something they were unable to do in 2011 when a 5-23 June, which included the resignation of manager Edwin Rodriguez, doomed the remainder of the season.
"This was a disappointing year for us," Beinfest says. "The last 10 years, we (usually) had at least some hope come September. This was not one of those years."
(Note: Report as of Nov. 21)
Where the Marlins stand at each position
When the Marlins signed John Buck to a three-year free agent contract, they hoped he'd reprise his 2010 season for the Blue Jays (.281, 20 homers). But Buck batted .227 with 16 homers in 2011. John Baker was blossoming into a solid backstop before injuries, including Tommy John elbow surgery, limited him to 39 games over the past two seasons. Brett Hayes got into 64 games last season, batting .231. Down the road, the Marlins would like to see Kyle Skipworth, their first-round pick in 2008, step up his offensive game. But he batted .207 with 11 homers at Class AA Jacksonville in 2011. That should open the door for Jacob Realmuto.
First base
Gaby Sanchez has hit 19 homers in each of the past two seasons. His average dipped slightly in 2011, but his on-base percentage (OBP) rose. At some point, left fielder Logan Morrison could move to first base.
Second base
The Marlins knew they were sacrificing power when they dealt Dan Uggla to the Atlanta Braves. In that trade they acquired Omar Infante, whose average slipped from .321 with the Braves in 2010 to .276. Infante hit seven homers with a .315 OBP. Utility man Emilio Bonifacio proved he has to play somewhere, hitting .296 with 40 steals last season. He could find time along with another utility player, Donnie Murphy.
Third base
The Marlins hoped Matt Dominguez would win the job in 2011 but determined he needed another year of seasoning. Dominguez batted. 249 at three minor league levels (.258, 12 homers, 87 games in Class AAA). "He's a gifted defensive player —Gold Glove caliber," says president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest. "And he's a very smart player. We're just waiting for the bat to develop." If the Marlins can't live with Dominguez's bat, Bonifacio is a more likely alternative.
Manager Ozzie Guillen puts the onus on himself to ensure Hanley Ramirez, a .306 career hitter, lives up to his 30-homer, 30-steal potential. Though Ramirez should be recovered from surgery on his non-throwing shoulder in time for spring training and be fine to play, the Marlins could try to make a play for a big-time shortstop such as Jose Reyes and move athletic Ramirez to center field. Wherever he plays, the Marlins need Ramirez to be healthy and deliver more than the .243 average, 10 homers and 45 RBI he produced in 92 games last season.
Left field
Logan Morrison hit 23 homers and drove in 72 runs but batted .247. Others looking for playing time include Bryan Petersen, who hit .265 but displayed limited power in 74 games last season; Scott Cousins (.202 in 89 major league at-bats); and 2009 NL rookie of the year Chris Coghlan, who battled left knee problems in 2011.
Center field
When the Marlins dealt Cameron Maybin, they thought Coghlan might transition from left field to center. Now, Coghlan will battle to make the roster. Barring a roster shake-up that could land Ramirez or Bonifacio in center field, the job could fall to Petersen. Christian Yelich is a legitimate outfield prospect, but not for 2012.
Right field
Mike Stanton is a bona fide power hitter and possible superstar in the making with 56 home runs in his first 250 big-league games. That makes it easy to forget he's 22 and that he struck out 166 times last season. Stanton performs well enough in the field (10 assists each of his first two seasons).
If healthy, Josh Johnson can be a Cy Young Award contender. The problem is Johnson (14-7 with a 2.14 ERA in 2010-11), has started more than 28 games once in six seasons. In 2011 it was right shoulder inflammation that limited the 2010 NL ERA champ to nine games. Javier Vazquez was easily the Marlins' most effective starter late in the season, but the team hasn't been able to coax him out of his proposed retirement. That leaves the Marlins with Ricky Nolasco (10-12, 4.67) and Anibal Sanchez (8-9, 3.67) and hoping for better things from Chris Volstad (5-13, 4.89) and Brad Hand (1-8, 4.20). A huge X factor is right-hander Alex Sanabia, who lost much of 2011 to elbow problems.
The bullpen was a strength in 2011 with Mike Dunn, Edward Mujica, Ryan Webb, Steve Cishek and left-handed specialist Randy Choate each appearing in at least 45 games and posting ERAs of 3.43 or better.
If you've never heard of Juan Oviedo, that's because he's been using the alias Leo Nunez, according to authorities in his native Dominican Republic. Though he's arbitration-eligible and dealing with legal issues related to his identity problems, it's expected the Marlins will bring the closer back. He converted 36 of 42 save chances in 2011.

Pet of the Week: Lil Poundcake is a beauty with her own Facebook page
Amy Goodman and Dani Steuermann got their brand new family member, named Lil Poundcake from Virginia now about three weeks ago. Lil (as we'll refer to her) is a Miniature Sharpe with a brushcoat. She's just twelve weeks old.
They found her online and, "American Airlines has a climate controlled pet area and we picked her up at the airport," said Amy.
Lil is a very calm puppy, content to be cuddled and petted and she has a unique beauty characteristic. " Everyone thinks her nails are painted," Amy explained, "because they're white. Even the vet yesterday asked if we had painted her nails. It's very unusual and even the vet had never seen it before."
She eat a custom food blend of grains, wheat, proteins, fruit and vegetables from Natural Pet Pantry in Burien.
Amy talked about the breed saying, "They are Chinese fighting dogs. Back in the 800's and 900's royalty had miniature Sharpe's that guarded them at the palace." Though they have an aggressive back story, today they are gentle housepets and no trouble.
"A good breeder will breed that out of them," said Dani. "They're sweet and gentle dogs if they are socialized properly," said Amy.
She got the name from the way she looks. Sharpe's have a lot of loose skin and "Look at her fur," exclaimed Dani," she looks like a little poundcake!"
She shares the house with another dog named Minnie Blue, who is also a Sharpe. The two love each other and play a lot. "We wanted her to have a sister so they could play together. We thought she should have a companion because Minnie Blue is very social."
But aside from her obvious beauty Lil also has her own Facebook page.
Among the items listed there are her job as an Actress/Model/Professional Blogger, her education at Hogwarts and the Seattle Dogworks Training & Education Studio and so far she has 21 friends. Not bad for only being here three weeks.
"You have to be at least 10 weeks old to have a Facebook page in our family," said Goodman with a laugh.
She apparently checks her page frequently, in between naps during which she snore and "oinks" according to both Amy and Dani.
Lil has lots of toys already and plays with all of them according to both spouses.
Amy summed Lil up as, "She's just a part of our family and she just brings joy to me every day. I can't wait to get home from work and see her. She makes me smile and laugh and curse and everything. It's perfect."
Dani said, "I love her because she's just so beautiful. That face is amazing. She's just my little celebrity. I have on her Facebook page that she's an Actress/Model because she's just so beautiful."

Running right now until Valentine's Day on February 14th, Microsoft Stores are offering a year of Zune Pass for free, well, that's as long as you purchase a Windows Phone from them. Although it's more than likely applied to devices bought with a contract, we'd fathom that it would also apply to devices purchased outright – though, it can be a case-by-case scenario.
$120 seeing that Zune Pass normally requires a $10 per month subscription – therefore, it's a pretty sweet promotion. Not only will you be able to surprise that special someone with one awesome Windows Phone of some sort, but they'll also be ecstatic to know they'll be able to listen to some sweet tunes as well courtesy of Zune Pass.
Again, this promotion is only available through Microsoft Stores, which aren't necessarily abundant across the country like some other retail spots. Nevertheless, if you're really adamant on getting a free year of Zune Pass, then it's probably worth it to drive a little bit out of the way to snag on this deal.

General information
What are research chemicals? This can be a question that is really disturbing you. Actually research chemicals are substances that are chemically in nature that are used mostly by scientists for carrying out various researches in the laboratories. The chemical are used for laboratory uses only. You may be wondering why carry out research using the chemicals. There is great need for this. Remember through carrying out the research the scientists are able to come up with different medicines to cure different diseases in human beings.
The research chemicals can be used in different researches such as pharmacological research. In the pharmacological research the chemicals are very important in testing different diseases in animals and drug testing in human beings. In cases of intoxication the chemicals are also very important in carrying out the tests. They are also used in research organizations that are very reliable in carrying out different tests in human beings such as forensic toxicology. The chemicals are also used in the research of agrochemicals.
The term "research chemicals" refers to the substances that scientists use when carrying out research, whether in medicine or other areas of chemistry. Most research chemicals are only designed for use in lab research experiments and not for veterinary or human use. When manufacturers package research chemicals, they must indicate this on the labeling. Having this designation exempts these chemicals from government regulation.
Most new pharmacotherapies arise as a result of the use of research chemicals. Some of the more frequent types of use include animal testing and "in vivo" experiments to evaluate the toxicity and therapeutic value of particular chemicals. Research organizations run tests to figure out the safety of potential drugs, and toxicology reports indicate the potential results of exposing humans to those chemicals. In the field of agriculture, researchers create experimental chemicals to determine the best components of a variety of end-user products, ranging from pesticides to fertilizers.

to put this in perspective – China does have huge cash reserves but the vast majority of people in China are incredibly poor and have the hardest of life'sI don't think so. every country have poor and rich people. of course,China have poor people. but not the vast majority of people . welecome to Beijing 2008 of China.
do your research, the income gap between poor and rich is huge and getting bigger. Sure there is a wealthy elite and even a small middle class now but, rural china has been left behind.
30 million Chinese live in absolute poverty, meaning that by local standards they lack enough food and clothing. Another 60 million have incomes below 865 yuan, or $106, a year, well below the $1 a day that the World Bank takes as its standard.
Id say euros too. But, then files would cost more for buyers, so maybe they would buy less…
I agree, but I think the buyers won't feel the cost too much because FlashDen is still the best in town for flash files.
Vote Obama and $ will go up
i'm for euro
You'll get the same amount of cash, no matter what currency it is expressed in. In other words, if $1 = €0.75, then a typical $3 file would become a €2.25 file, right?
Now if you buy the €2.25 file and your default paypal currency is USD , you will still pay $3 for it. The whole point of an exchange rate is so that you don't get cheated out of the real value of your currency.
If you are sugggesting that a typical $3 file would become a €3 file, that's kinda mixing two different things. You are saying you want the prices to be expressed as Euros, and then also make them more expensive.
Of course if you are simply saying that it would be more convenient, to see your money expressed as Euros, that makes perfect sense to me. So what you guys are probably looking for is an additional site feature. Ask the FD staff to make this a profile setting.
2Fougie: No, we want to change the "$" signs with "€" signs. DON 'T TOUCH THE NUMBERS !
This would allow to stabilise the revenues as the falling dollar wouldn't affect them. This problem can't be solved by rising the dollar prices as they would still be falling…
2jurgenv: For a buyer, there is little difference between paying 5 USD or 7 USD . For a seller, there is a very big difference between getting 500 USD or 700 USD .
True, true. Euros it is (up)!!
2Fougie: No, we want to change the "$" signs with "€" signs. DON 'T TOUCH THE NUMBERS ! This would allow to stabilise the revenues as the falling dollar wouldn't affect them. This problem can't be solved by rising the dollar prices as they would still be falling…
That's what i assumed. Just wanted to clarify that, since it sounded like some people were under the impression that they would get a lot more money (an amount in the difference between the Euro and USD ).
However, you bring up an excellent point Seifip. Authors, and FD, actually are making less money based on the falling USD . A $3 file will not be adjusted to say, $3.08 in response to a drop in the value of the $. The end result, is that FD is unknowingly lowering the prices of its files on a daily basis.
No doubt this is the same point that many of these posts are trying to get at.
Add my name to the list of €€€ supporters! I'd like to see this change happen.
Whens the Amero currency coming out?

hi guys.been a long time since i been on.i couldnt use my other acct. ( rowdy )i have a 69 tempest i did a full resto. things have changed .for one i lost my 22 yr. old son almost 3 yrs ago and have his 73 formula that i gave him at graduation.i'm finally feeling i can work on it now .heres the problem.i sent the 455 out to be machined at the same place i had the 350 machined the guy that did the work isnt there any more.i didnt know this until i picked it up and got it home for reassembly it is a catastrophy $2,100.00 should i take it to my local speed shop and let them check everything over before i put it together or put it together and hope it dont fly apart the heads were ported and have new springs and locks upgraded cam 30 over on the block.i didnt get the lifters the block wasnt fully cleaned they gave me the wrong crank back the rings werent put on the pistons i was also thinkin of balancing the rotating assmb.there is so much wrong that i feel like im getting stupid.ive decided to name the car nitemare you guys haved helped make decisions before and i trust y'all.what to do now ?
If you are unsure about all the machine work and everything done it does not hurt to take it to someone knowledgeable to look at it for a look second opinion. Can save you alot of heartache in the long run.
Definitely get a second opinion. Sorry to hear of your loss, you aren't alone, several of on here have suffered the same sort of grief in the past few years. The strange thing about project cars is they can be both therapeutic and stressful when you are recovering from the loss of someone you love. For me, I spent months after my wife died replacing floor and interior in my Firebird (which she bought for me) and spent a huge whack of cash on a new killer 400. I hardly drove it at all this year and the new engine is still waiting to be run on the test stand. Take your time and let the project flow naturally, work on it when you want to and walk away when you must.Steve
A little help... 'cause we don't all have to learn the hard way!
i was on the phone with the machine shop and he said the guy he out sources the crank cutting to says the crank they gave me is correct 20 on the main 30 on the rod.i had two cranks here before i sent it out one was for the 455 the other was..here is the no. off the crank 496452 if some one can tell me what block this came from with 100% certainty i will know if i made the mistake i researched the no.and it matches the crank they gave back to me.any help would be greatly appreciated
Crank casting number 496452 is a 75-79 350 crankshaft
thank you very much.i had bought a 400 long block some yrs ago,at least thats what i was told and im almost certain i researched the no.to be sure it was in fact a 400 and built in 76-77it ran strong till my son spun a bearing i pulled it apart and used the heads ( 6x4 ) for the 455 i did some research on the heads today and looks like i coulda made a huge mistake on this crank issue the heads i believe were used only on the 350 in 76-77 but im not sure i looked for the distributer but didnt find it yet
I had the same thing happen to me. I couldn't get my new cam to turn freely in the block so I took the block and the cam to a different machine shop and he said the oil passages were almost plugged. I told him to completely check the block while I came home and got the heads for him to look at (I bought a set of 6X-4 heads and told the first machine shop to magnaflux them first thing so I could take them back if they weren't any good and he said they checked fine). When I got them to the second shop he said one had a large crack between the intake and exhaust port - the first shop even did a valve job on these heads. I tell you, incompenant people SUCK! Even though it cost me an additional $1000 it was worth it - I just hope the first shop goes out of business! Good luck!
Savage73: My heart sympathy to you and your family. I know what its like to loose a loved one that is so close. Bob
Savage73:I know it maybe a little late. But the next time mark every piece you bring to a machine shop. I recommend that to anyone that leaves their parts for just cleaning. A $10 Etcher a steel stamp set, will do just fine. Mark all your parts with the same number. If you can hide the number or name, whatever. It happened to me once also. It was 30 years ago. When my crank was about to go through the guys window he made good for it.Bob
the 326,350,389,and 400 will have 3.00" mains. a 421,428,and 455 will have 3.25" mains minus what ever they have been turned down.
76 455/4spd TRANS AM69 GRAND PRIX 455/5SPD
good news for me the machine shop called and said there was a mix up with the cranks.its good to hear cause i was starting to second guess my self i'll pick it up and take it and the rest of the stuff down to the speed shop to have everything checked.the local speed shop has been around over 40 yrs. and has a very good reputation.the old man that started the shop also teaches at local community college
One time I took a set of LT1 chev heads to a machine shop two days later they called and said they needed another set because they were cracked .I gave them another set of chev 350 heads and never seen the LT1 heads again ! The engine never had any water in it ! Make sure you mark your parts and get the same parts back !
thanks very much for the advice and kind words every one

"I am finishing up the process right now," Ledbetter said. "We have to finish up a couple of things, and I will be in tomorrow."
Ledbetter is transferring from Pfeiffer University, where he played basketball for two years at the NCAA Division II school. He said he planned on moving from basketball to football this fall, but didn't know if he would wind up at Georgia.
"I worked hard, so I didn't think I would get a full ride to Georgia," Ledbetter said. "Basketball and football conditioning is totally different. I have been preparing my body differently to deal with the different things that football has that basketball doesn't like muscle endurance. I am not quite where I want to be, and I still have hard work to do.
"At Dawg Night the coaches didn't say anything to me (about enrolling)," Ledbetter said. "I just went and did the camp. I was talking to Coach Richt earlier in the summer, and he mentioned it to me. He said to come up and watch the camp. I asked if I could attend the camp, and he looked into it, and I went out there, and I did what I had been practicing all summer."
And so Ledbetter participated in Dawg Night, and that turned out to be his path to Georgia. He said he didn't know what to expect after focusing on basketball for two seasons. Ledbetter spent the previous summer months running through drills as a tight end and focusing his workouts for skills necessary on the football field.
"I was really nervous about the camp," he said. "There was a lot of similar stuff I had been doing. I was more prepared than I thought I would have been for the camp."
Naturally the idea of playing with his younger brother has come up. Jonathan Ledbetter stars for Tucker High in DeKalb and is considered one of the top defensive lineman in the state. The elder Ledbetter doesn't want to pressure his brother about his college decision.
"I actually talked to my brother and Coach Richt about that," he said. "I told him that, yes, it would be nice to go to the same college, but that he has to do what's best for him. If Georgia is not the best place for him — then I don't want him to go to Georgia. But it would be great to be at Georgia with me, but I am going to tell him to figure out what is the best place for you. I don't want him to go somewhere just because I am going there. That's going to determine where you go from there."
The older Ledbetter nearly wound up going to Alabama — at least that's what he initially thought.
"After every game the other basketball coaches kept coming up to me after games and said that I should play football," he said. "I thought it was a joke at first. I looked into playing at Alabama, and I started talking with the coaches. That's how it started off. I was accepted to Alabama in May. That's where I really thought I would go is there as a walk-on. Thankfully I got a chance to get a scholarship."
Georgia starts practice on Friday in Athens.

'Billboard' factors in streaming music for charts
Once an exotic means of experiencing music, song streams are now mainstream. The latest proof: This week, Billboard launches an on-demand songs chart that ranks subscription-service streams, and the data will factor into and consequently reshape the industry bible's authoritative Hot 100 singles chart.
The upshot? Dance music, a genre that's hot online and cold on radio, is likely to gain ground in the weekly chart derby. While the top 10 streams mirror digital best sellers, with fun.'s We Are Young topping the debut chart, the lists diverge lower in the chain.
The streams mix "is a little old, a little new and a little cutting-edge," says Silvio Pietroluongo, Billboard's director of charts. "It's just another outlet for songs to break through on the Hot 100, another way to get some visibility."
Electronic wiz Skrillex, at No. 16 with Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites and at No. 32 with Bangarang, has a higher profile on streaming services than radio, Pietroluongo notes. Likewise for such acts as French electronic band M83 (Midnight City, No. 11) and Swedish DJ Avicii (Levels, No. 26).
And volume is heavy, Pietroluongo says. A No. 1 track on the streams chart racks up roughly three times the numbers of a No. 1 track on the download chart.
The adjusted Hot 100 chart formula, which also considers radio airplay and physical and digital sales, is further evidence of the digital era's impact on music consumption. The new streams chart measures on-demand plays (streams and tethered downloads by both paying and free-trial users) from unlimited listener-controlled radio channels on MOG, Muve, Rdio, Rhapsody, Slacker and Spotify. Zune figures will be added soon. Nielsen crunches the data in coordination with digitalmusic.org's Subscription Music Work Group.
"Billboard has shifted course through history to measure everything from vinyl to eight-tracks to cassettes and CDs to digital downloads in 2005," Pietroluongo says. "This is just a continuation of what Billboard has done to make sure we are measuring the way consumers listen to and purchase music in today's world. At no point in history has the consumer had a larger voice than right now."
Or a larger appetite.
"In the first 70 days of 2012, we've captured 4.5 billion audio streams," says Nielsen executive Chris Muratore. "We recognized that streaming was an important consumption bucket back in 2005, when we began tracking activity. Over the last few years, many new services have come to the market. In 2005, we were capturing 80 million audio streams a week. Now it's 500 million. Consumers feel it's an important way to interact with music. Until now, there hasn't been much out there to show what sort of volume is happening."
Countering the theory that streams cannibalize digital sales, Muratore says, "We have not seen that. Digital sales are still growing. They reached a record high last year, and they're up another 7% this year. All signs are that music consumption, which is at an all-time high, will continue to grow."

I did it. I went in Tuesday very calmed. I woke up feeling very sore and drowsy. Just like everybody said. It feels like you get run over by a big truck. Personally I think a c-section hurts more then a tt. I've had 5 so, I would definetely say c-section. TT you feel more a tightness and soreness that doesn't relieve to easy. The belly it self looks great. I have swelling and still can't stand straight.
Lol!! hopefully soon. Does anyone have medication tips for constipation? and foods to avoid. Thanks everyone. :)

13 days since Tummy tuck. I saw my Doctor yesterday and he finally removed the 2nd drain... thank goodness.. It was such a pain. Today I'm just waiting for the small incision to close and by Tomorromy I should be able to get a full shower... can't wait. I have to admit the incision itself never really hurted. The only thing that bothers me is the soreness from the drains (the tiny incisons) I am now off the pain med and feeling better.
I can't stand straight yet. Any ideas what I can do?

The first system it developed is the Kinetic Energy Recovery System, a type of regenerative braking device developed with its sister company, Magneti Marelli, for use in Formula One. That lead to a similar system installed in an experimental version of the 599 called the HY-KERS concept displayed at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. More recently reports surfaced that Ferrari had patented a more conventional hybrid powertrain system, leading to speculation that the KERS type had been abandoned for road-car use – most poignantly in the upcoming successor to the Enzo. But while Ferrari apparently pursues development of that more conventional hybrid system, it appears that its next mid-engined V12 hypercar will adopt an evolution of the HY-KERS system displayed on that green 599 two years back.
A revised HY-KERS system has just been announced by Ferrari at the Beijing Motor Show, where the Prancing Horse also marked the Asian debut of its new F12 Berlinetta. Ferrari says the new system – installed on a V12 engine mounted amidship – is more effective than the one that preceded it, bringing emissions down to 40 percent of what a conventional engine with the same output would produce (compared to a 30 percent reduction from the previous incarnation), all while bringing engineers closer to their target of producing one kilowatt of energy for every kilogram of weight the system adds.
As for the F12, Ferrari has revealed that its latest supercar set a lap time at Fiorano of one minute, 23 seconds, making it the company's quickest road car yet: a full second quicker than the 599 GTO it replaces, and about two seconds quicker than the Enzo, the 458 Italia and the 430 Scuderia. With that kind of progress, we can count on the new hybrid V12 hypercar to set an even quicker time still. Scroll down for the press release and video clip.
Beijing, 23th April 2012 – After a hugely successful unveiling at Geneva, the F12berlinetta, the first in a new generation of Maranello's flagship12-cylinder cars, makes its Asian debut at the Beijing International Motor Show. The event will also host the world premiere of the evolution of the HY-KERS concept, coupling hybrid technology with mid-rear architecture to cut fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on the combined cycle by 40 per cent whilst boosting performance.
The F12berlinetta is the most powerful and high-performance road-going Ferrari ever. Powered by a truly exceptional V12 engine, it is built around an evolution of Ferrari's transaxle lay-out and features cutting-edge components and electronic controls. The F12berlinetta also boasts extremely advanced aerodynamics and a design that exudes an innovative yet classic beauty.
The car's wheelbase is shorter, its engine and driver position are lower and a new suspension and gearbox layout has yielded a more compact tail section. The result is a shorter, lower and narrower car than the previous V12 coupé. It also boasts perfect weight distribution (54% over the rear axle) and a lower centre of gravity further back in the chassis.
With a Fiorano lap time of 1'23'', 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.1 seconds and 0-200 km/h covered in 8.5 s, the F12berlinetta delivers absolutely benchmark performance. The handling balance achieved ensures maximum driving involvement even at low speeds, a feature thus far the sole domain of mid-rear-engined cars. The sporty handling is equally nimble and responsive on the road as on the track.
Great attention was paid to reducing fuel consumption and emissions which have been slashed by 30 per cent, with the result that the F12berlinetta tops its segment in terms of efficiency with 15l/100 km and 350 g/km of CO2.
The other important unveiling at Beijing is the evolution of the HY-KERS project adapted to a mid-rear engine layout. The powertrain on display consists of a 12-cylinder engine and dual-clutch gearbox coupled to an electric motor. A second electric motor is dedicated to the auxiliary systems and is located in front of the V12. The two electric motors are connected to the batteries which can be positioned in the car in line with the available space and final configuration.
The objective of this configuration is to create a sports car that, thanks to the integration with the electric motors, increases power while at the same time reducing emissions. The KERS features new, smaller and lighter electronic components which come close to achieving the declared target of 1 KW per kg of extra weight added by the hybrid system.
Technological transfer from F1 was fundamental to the design, engineering and construction of an innovative electric motor used to optimise the car's longitudinal and lateral dynamic characteristics, namely torque management, traction control and brake distribution, to the benefit of sportiness and driving pleasure.
The HY-KERS' electric motor delivers power using one of the gearbox's two clutches and is mated to one of the two main shafts. The result is instantaneous, continuous power delivery between the electric motor and petrol engine. During braking, the electric motor acts as a generator, using the kinetic energy from the negative torque to recharge the batteries. This crucial task is managed by a dedicated ECU, also F1-derived, which not only controls the electric motor, but also governs the power to the auxiliary systems (power steering, brake servo, air conditioning, onboard systems).
Work on the system has now reached the end of the experimental phase and the development phase will commence in the coming months. With the same nominal power output of a normal ICE, the HY-KERS system will enable Ferrari to reduce emissions by 40 per cent over the combined cycle.

Wonderful recipe.
Smells like home-made
I love quick breads, and this is a great one to make with pumpkin! I use extra nuts.The nuts sprinkled over the top gives the loaf a beautiful appearance and a nice taste sensation. I like this recipe because it makes two loaves. One to eat and one for the freezer, or to send home with someone. I've even used half to make a pan of muffins. (remember to take them out of the oven after 15-20 min. and let the loaf continue to bake) When the kitchen is filled with the aroma of bread baking, no one can wait for the loaf to cool, so the muffins disappear!

advise please from plumbers/water softener owners
We need to get a water softener for our house. House is 2 1/2 person, about 2100 sq ft, 2 full bath, gas hot water, dish washer, washer and dryer, 2 outside water spiggits. DEQ results don't say its "really hard", but it is up there (I think like 173 ml/L (or like 10gpg).
Anyone ever heard of this?
benefits I see are: no salt to add, no drain to add, no need to re-plumb the 2 outside faucets since there is no salt to kill the lawn, easy install that I could do, price is comparable (maybe cheaper since no plumbing being done).
Anyone know of this process, or have any other educated recommendations?

Salt isn't used to soften the water, it's used to 'reset' the resin in the softener so to speak. if your softened water is killing the lawn, it's probably NOT due to salt concentrations, unless you have REALLY hard water, and/or a cheap softener.
A properly functioning water softener will not significantly impact the amount of sodium in your diet (how many people these days really drink tap water anyway).
The wiki citation would tend to disagree with the reference point of significance of sodium intake, but again, they base it on 2L of tap water consumption/intake.
As for your link, no I've never heard of it. The larger issue with the hard water we had, was a stubborn refusal of soap to lather, and buildup in the plumbing.
We have a fairly expensive kinetico system on top of the city's water treatment efforts.
If the majority of your issues is related to taste of the water, I'd probably go for a small reverse osmosis system under the sink, or an add-on for the fridge.

We have filtered drinking water in the fridge, and the taste isn't the issue with the hard water. Its hard to keep the showers clean for long, the shower head starts spraying funky after a few days, the shower, toilets, and inside the washer get a yellowish-orange staining after a few days thats hard to come clean, etc...all the simptoms of hard water. I can probably live with the occasional odd smell (private well at 467 feet, btw).
I was told that a standard water softener will kill the grass, but will leave the car spot-free after a wash! I could go down and bypass the softener every time I need to water the lawn, but I don't want the hassle.
Anyone have a softener that they are happy with? Any other comments/opinions?

I'm quite happy with the Kinetico softener from every perspective aside from price. (I think it was $1,800 installed back in 2001, but included a 10 year top/bottom warranty, so I justified it by prorating the cost in my head at $180/year)
It has no electronics, running completely off of water pressure, is small, and reportedly only uses 9 gallons of water per backflush, fairly decent on the salt as well, but I still buy it in 80lb bags of duracube from Douglas.
Most of my neighbors used to go the Sears/Kenmore route, or whatever $4-500 one they can find, and replace them every 5-8 years. Now that the City has a multi-million dollar water treatment plant, offering up mostly softened water I could probably remove the kinetico - but it's sunk costs at this point, and not worth a lot resale.

As for softeners save the cash and go with sears. Much like many other things the softeners work the same way and odds are you wouldn't have to replace it more than a couple times in the life of the house.

Here's my experiences (I'm sure everyone was on the edge fo their seats waiting...)
We've been on wells as long as I've owned my house, and more or less all my life with my parents we were on wells with lots of rust in the water.
My advice is buy a good one.
Last house came with a kenmore, which was a clone of the ~$500 GE models. It lasted 3 years before the head started wearing inside and no longer functioning right. Clogged up a lot with rust as well, so needed maintenence often.
replaced it with a GE from home depot. Lasted 3 years and did the same thing. Replaced that with yet another GE and sold the house.
The heavy rust would build up inside and not be able to be effectively cleaned. There's valves in there that slide, and the rust eventually eats up the surfaces so they don't seal well and get less and less effective. Since a softener relies on tiny orrifices to create suction to draw brine from the tank, even small wear or clogging becomes an issue.
My research online found evreyone unhappy with that style softener head used by most of the $500 big-box store models.
My new house has a much much more expensive system but we have personal expereince with them lasting for a long time. Worth it not having the headache. I like this style, which has a seperate brine tank/salt resevoir beacuse it holds a LOT more salt. So I can load it with ~400lbs at once and forget about it. We also have a whole-house carbon filter, which helps. Not the little ones, this is 6ft tall and has a valve head like a water softener.
Don't waste your time watering your lawn with softened water. Only plumb 1 spigot for wating the car. Otherwise you will be running through your charge every night and using slat like mad.

find me a ge or kenmore that has 15 years of dependable service. you probably won't. they use a shitty valve design that wears out. I rebuilt one twice in 3 years, only to have the electronics take a shit right after that. they are garbage, and sears-depot-whoever makes tons of coin off of them. My first house had a fleck style softenener that was 20 years old-no problems.
so, find a softener with a fleck valve. Don't buy from your local place, they mark them up insanely. figure you need a 42k to 49k grain unit. you can find these all over online for $500 to $700, even on ebay. That's the same price you'll drop an a big-box throwaway, and you'll get at least 20 years out of it.

here you go. fleck control valve, large capacity, and it won't be running every night, saving you big money on salt. Plus, it's half of what any local place would charge you. IF it ever breaks, which is unlikely, parts are standard, cheap and easy to get.

I have a peerless water softener. I believe it's 12 years old ans still works very very well. I bought it with my house and my water is very very hard (rusty). After 12 years I had to replace the timer unit. Thats it. I think it cost me $110.00 for the timer. It's been at least a year since that point and it's still working great. I think you can buy a whole new system for around $700-$800. Maybe a little more depending on size of the system. If you can get 10 years plus out of a system I would say your doing well. I would highly recommend the peerless over other systems. Just my $.02

We've been in our house 4 1/2 years with no softener. Sure, my whites need to be brightened every now and then, but, my mom has to do the same with her Culligan system that she leases. I just buy the rust/mineral remover for a few $ every so often and run the whites through. I don't own many white clothing items anyway since I just don't stay clean and everything gets dirty. I'm just not careful.
My fiberglas shower gets a mineral buildup but I just spray it daily with the cleaner that I buy from Home Depot by the gallon. Works well and also is an anti-bacterial at the same time.
One more note:
For those who think bleach is the way to whiten and brighten - it's not really. If you don't do a follow-up rinse with vinegar the chlorine just keeps eating away at the fibers, especially cotton. Bleach totally dissolves wool.
I learned something in those textile lab classes.

1. Those clamp on the pipe "softeners" are bogus ... Google them.
2. Go to abundantflowwater.com This guy helped me design a system for my house
I am not affiliated with him, but can recommend him highly. I found a DIY forum and a guy there who wished to remain anonymous because he worked for a large softener company. He said the only important things on a softener are the flow valve and the resin. The valve should be a Fleck that is rebuildable. Also a metered head saves water and salt vs. a timed head because it recharges only when needed not just because it is the 3rd day. As for resin, there is jobber media and good media. The jobber is good for about 18 months to 2 years and the good stuff 5 years. So, I went online and found the website above. The guy was VERY helpful! He sent me a free water test and helped my size the system and make a custom resin stack that solved other problems as well as the hardness. I also had sulfur dioxide that requires chlorination and thus a carbon filter. So, inline chlorination dosing pump, carbon backflush filter and 64K grain softener ran me about $3k. The local Ecowatersystems guy wanted that for a 50k grain softener which he said was sufficient. Later I read that a softener should regenerate once a week. Any more it is undersized and wasting water and salt. Any less and the media loses it's ionic charge and doesn't work.
All in all, the system is trouble free and averages 1 bag of salt and 3 gallons of Clorox per month. Water tastes and smells great! We use less soap, a shower feels MUCH cleaner!

I have a Brasswell Genis twin. been using thier stuff for the past 20 years or so. works great and real reliable. I have a charcoal prefilter before the softener and in most counties you have to have one sink without sofe water by law. secondly all the out side faucets are non softened. its a waste to do so. if by chance you have really bad water or just tons of black junk form in the filter its mangenese in most cases. it makes the water filter plug solid in some cases. I had a 3 micron filter and it was "To tight" it would plug solid.

What kills the lawn is having the rinse water from the recharge go out on the lawn, not the softened water. Our drain for the rinse goes into the house sump and out the normal outlet and that takes out the grass until it starts really growing in the summer (there's also more rain to dilute the sump water then too).
I had them plumb in two valves so I can run soft water to all of our outdoor spigots by flipping the valves for washing the Jeeps, filling a baby pool, etc. Just have to remember to go down and flip them when done. I didn't want to have soft water outdoors 95% of the time.

I want to get this gun for my dad for Christmas (he will love it) and I know it is the S&W Model 29. My question is about the frame size & finish, as well as the chambering. Which one did Dirty Harry actually use?
I thought it was a 29 then becoming a 629 at some point.
But MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm that one Ramrod linked is 44AMP !! :five::danceban::image001::bigdeal:
Clint Eastwood, AKA Dirty Harry, used the .44 Auto-Mag pistol in one film, Sudden Impact, produced in 1983.
Dirty Harry was released in 1971. Inspector Callahan's revolver was the S&W Model 29, 6.5 inch barrel, .44 Magnum caliber, N (large) frame, blue finish. Callahan never used the Model 629, which is stainless steel, introduced in 1978.
There are some claims that, due to the unavailability of the Model 29 from S&W, a Model 57 in .41 Magnum, which is virtually identical to the Model 29, was used in the film. This is refuted by director John Milius, who says that the Model 29 was indeed used in the filming of Dirty Harry.
The reason the bodel 29 became hard to get was because of it film exposure in Dirty Harry. After the film came out the prices skyrocketed. I know because I was trying to get one at that time.
Along with the .41 or .44 issue, I read somewhere that two different barrel lengths were used also. I think that sort of stuff is pretty typical of Hollywood, I remember reading about the first Superman movie and was amazed that they had several different capes for him, one to be used when he was standing, one used when he was flying, one used for take-off etc.
I have a S&W Model 29, blued and 6 inch bbl, I think that's pretty close to the Dirty Harry gun we visualize.
In the movie they used the blued 6.5 and 8 3/8 inch S&W M29-2.
I think this is it:
Product: Model 29 - S&W Classics - 6 1/2" - Blue or Nickel
Check out this link. I believe in most of the actual movies, the 29 was the 6 1/2" barrel model but some stills and movies posters from The Enforcer look to be the 8 3/8" model.
The gun actually used was a Smith & Wesson M 29-2. It has a recessed cylinder and pinned barrel, features eliminated in later versions. It is a 3 screw model and has the 6.5" Bbl. It featured S&W's Brite Blue finish. It was also equiped with the .5" target hammer and grooved target trigger. Over size target grips were also standard as were the red ramp front sight and white outline rear sight, and it came in a wood case.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Genre: Non-Fiction/D.I.Y
So after the cookbook review I thought I would try my hand at this wonderful home decorating/D.I.Y book by the genius creators of the blog, A Beautiful Mess, Elsie Larson and Emma Chapman.
On their blog Elsie and Emma share tons of wonderful tips, techniques, projects and recipes to their millions of readers showing us how important lifestyle blogs are to our everyday life. I know personally I love the lifestyle/d.i.y. blogs they provide wonderful things, I even got a recipe to make my own laundry detergent from one that I still use years later.
But on to the books which does not have a recipe to make your own laundry detergent, lol! However, it includes wonderful projects and tips by room to make your home unique, to put your own personal style stamp on it. Most of the projects are relatively easy and low-cost which makes this book even better because not only does it have these great projects and ideas but you can make them work just about around any budget! Elsie and Emma also show us how to throw some parties.
Thanks for coming by,

Darwin and Australia
Developed by the National Museum of Australia to accompany the Darwin exhibition in Australia, Darwin and Australia represents Darwin's experiences and encounters during his visit to Australia.
The exhibition includes artworks and graphics by Australian artists which reflect the landscapes that Darwin encountered as well as specimens of plants and animals that he observed and described in his diary. It explores Darwin's travels in Australia and his associations with prominent Australians. It also profiles Darwin's analogous observations in Australia, and subsequent and contemporary Australian research that continues his intellectual legacy.
To many of the people he met and travelled with in Australia, Darwin was simply a visiting young naturalist — none could have imagined how he would later shift our understandings of the world.
Darwin's visit to Australia
Darwin was a young man at the start of his career when he visited Australia. A snapshot of Charles Darwin as a young man can be gleaned from his writings of his Australian experiences. Although Australia was not to feature strongly in Darwin's later writings it was to leave its legacy on Darwin's later life.
Charles Darwin's visit to Australia in early 1836 came towards the end of a long voyage. Almost four years after departing England, the Beagle and its travel-weary company arrived on Australian shores. During the 61 days spent in Australia, Darwin visited Sydney, the inland settlement of Bathurst, Hobart Town in Tasmania, and King George's Sound in Western Australia.
Darwin confided in a letter to his sister Caroline that he was 'looking forward with more pleasure to seeing Sydney, than to any other part of the voyage'. On first impressions he was not disappointed. Sydney's roads, houses and even the shops all met with Darwin's enthusiastic approval. In his diary he declared the colony 'a most magnificent testimony to the power of the British nation' and was moved 'to congratulate myself that I was born an Englishman'. Darwin's elation did not last. Four days after his arrival in Sydney he headed west to Bathurst, across the Blue Mountains, to gain a general idea of the country's appearance. Beyond Sydney he found the landscape arid and sterile, and the vegetation unappealing.
Before leaving England in 1831, Darwin had paid sixpence to see a panorama of Hobart Town. He had thought the scenery 'very magnificent'. However, on sailing into the colony he initially dismissed the place as 'very inferior to that of Sydney; the latter might be called a city, this is only a town'. Bad weather delayed the Beagle's departure from Hobart by 12 days, allowing Darwin to continue his natural history studies and collect specimens of fossils, rocks, flora and fauna. He also met with members of Hobart's elite.
On March 6th 1836 the Beagle sailed into King George's Sound on Australia's south-west coast, where it remained at anchor for eight days. Darwin was frustrated by this hiatus in the homeward journey and the prospect of spending time at the Albany settlement. Despite his annoyance he was extremely active during his stay. He collected shells, barnacles, 10 species of fish and 66 species of insects, many of which were unknown to British scientists at the time.
On March 14th the Beagle left King George's Sound and Australian shores, on a homeward course via the Keeling (Cocos) Islands, Mauritius and the Cape of Good Hope. Despite Darwin's strong desire to be home, which possibly jaded his view of Australia, his writings are rich in observations of the continent's landscape, fauna, flora and people. These, and the insights he gained from his Australian associates, contributed to the development of his theories and ideas.
A legacy - Darwin and Indigenous Australians
Darwin's work liberated the ways in which scientists interpreted the origins, dynamics and distribution of different species of plants and animals.
However, his work was also applied to interpreting perceived racial and cultural differences among human populations. It contributed to a popular belief that these different populations could be classed according to a hierarchy of social and technological development. Such theories placed Australia's Indigenous people at a lower stage of human evolution. Although such views have been shown to be ill-informed, Australia's Indigenous people continue to confront the consequences of such inappropriate application of Darwin's work.
Australian connections
Darwin maintained his connections with Australia long after his visit in 1836.
He continued to speculate on how the continent's flora and fauna were related to what he had seen in other parts of the world.
As in England, the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species provoked great controversy in Australia and divided the scientific community. In August 1863 during a spirited exchange of ideas with Joseph D Hooker, the prominent botanist at Kew Gardens, Darwin wrote:
About New Zealand, at last I am
coming round & admit it must have
been connected with some Terra firma;
but I will die rather than admit
His work also influenced how Australians interpreted the widening gap between scientific theory and theology.
Darwin is based on an exhibition organised by the American Museum of Natural History, New York (www.amnh.org) in collaboration with the Museum of Science, Boston; The Field Museum, Chicago; Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto; and the Natural History Museum, London.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted today to assert the strongest possible open Internet protections—banning paid prioritization and the blocking and throttling of lawful content and services. The American Library Association (ALA), a longtime network neutrality advocate, applauds this bold step forward in ensuring a fair and open Internet.
The American Library Association (ALA) applauds today's reintroduction of the Wi-Fi Innovation Act (S.424) by Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), which will help ensure our nation's libraries and their communities have access to the spectrum needed to meet growing demands for wireless access.
Yesterday, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Tom Wheeler outlined the network neutrality proposal he plans to circulate to fellow Commissioners today and bring to a vote on February 26, 2015. In a Wired op-ed he writes: 'I am submitting to my colleagues the strongest open Internet protections ever proposed by the FCC.
Today, at the start of the American Library Association's (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Chicago, the Association announced the launch of "Got E-rate?," a new initiative that encourages library leaders to apply for internet discounts as part of the national E-rate program.

Libraries are in a revolution fueled by rapid advances in technology, and thus the roles, capabilities, and expectations of libraries are changing rapidly. National public policy for libraries must reflect these changes.
