Illinois coach Bruce Weber was asked to summarize what Demetri McCamey has meant to the Illini team.
"Demetri is a talented young man. He made the transition from combo guard to point guard. Great vision as a passer. Second player in the history of the Big 10 to get 1600 points and 700 assists. That's pretty amazing when you look at all the great guards, all the great players who have played.
"He's had his ups and downs like all of them. But he seems to be playing pretty well right now. I've said since the beginning. How we go is how Demetri goes."
Throughout his career, McCamey has blown hot and cold. He will have several games where he hits a high percentage of shots while setting teammates up for open looks. When he is playing well, he is a true scoring point guard.
However, he also goes through slumps where he lacks energy and struggles making shots. Since his teammates need him as the only true creator on the team, and since his buoyant energy uplifts them when he's confident and playing well, the team slumps when McCamey slumps.
Everyone has down cycles, but McCamey sometimes explores the darkest depths of emotion when he is playing poorly. It affects his game, and it brings down his teammates. Little by little, he has begun to balance the extremes. If he could, he would love to change some things earlier in his career.
"Just being a bald-headed freshman. You go back and say, 'Damn, if I did this a little bit harder or maybe if I was listening to this as a freshman, I would have had a better sophomore year. As a freshman, just having growing pains. As a senior knowing what to do, I wish I could have been more mature quicker.
"I always wanted to do things my way and not listen, but now I know having Coach Weber and all the coaches has been good for me. It's brought me from a boy to a man."
It might be an understatement to say McCamey resisted coaching at times. His relationship with Weber was sometimes strained, especially early in his career. But McCamey has become more coachable and Weber more trusting, allowing the two to find common ground.
"We've got closer and closer. As a freshman, I could probably count on my hand how many times I was in the office to watch film or just talk to him as a person. Just laugh, crack jokes and watch youtube videos.
"Now it's more serious business. I come in and talk to him to see what is the game plan, what I did wrong on this play, what I should have done on that play. So it's more mature and more business-like."
From the beginning, McCamey has benefitted more from someone pushing him than giving him plaudits. Despite occasional resistance, McCamey kept coming back for more. Weber believes the media has exaggerated the problems between the two.
"It's been fine. I think you guys have made the bigger deal, the fans have made the bigger deal. Demetri's a great kid, a fun-loving guy. The thing that got misconstrued, I was just trying to get him to be his best. Being hard on him, giving him tough love. When you see that, everybody says, 'Oh, they don't get along.'
"Demetri's hard-headed, but he's no more hard-headed than Deron Williams or Dee Brown or anyone else. He has great abilities, great potential. I have just tried to push him to get there. I still think he has a chance to be an NBA player."
The Westchester St. Joseph product has needed Weber pushing him to improve. From the beginning, he tended to take the easy way out. If he saw no one looking, he would cut short practice drills. If he could get away with it, he would rest on defense to save himself for offense.
Weber hopes self-motivation will push McCamey to go beyond his limits without the coach having to remind him constantly. After all, he will soon be on his own.
"The biggest thing is, making the commitments with pushing himself. I'm hoping he can have a great finish for himself, for our team. There's no doubt he has a lot of ability, the stats show it. He has a tendency as a player to be a little casual and laid-back at times. And as a person too. He'll come in the office smiling and giggling.
"That's all I've tried to do. I just want the best for him. If he's learned any lesson, and it helps him in life, that's to be motivated and drive himself. That's his chance of making it because he has a great vision as a player. When he's cookin' and playing well, he's pretty good. He's as talented as anybody, and we're pretty good."
As McCamey reflects on his four years, he marvels at the changes.
"The time has gone fast. I can barely remember freshman year. I was playing with Shaun (Pruitt) and Brian Randle. Now I'm a senior, and I'm playing with Jereme (Richmond). I played with his brother, and I watched him play in high school. It makes me feel old now."
McCamey's favorite team memory took place his junior season when GameDay came to town.
"I'd say the Michigan State win. Having the fans up at 7:00 in the morning, be there all day and the game not end until 10-11 o'clock at night. That's the craziest I've ever seen Green Street. Everybody drinking, going crazy, in the middle of the street yelling. That's probably the thing I cherish the most."
The mood on campus has changed markedly since then, especially during much of the Big 10 season when the Illini played poorly on the road and fans lost confidence in them.
"It's not what the fans are saying or what the newspapers are saying, it's the spirit on campus. At the beginning it was alive. Everyone was having fun, all the fans cheering and everything. Now it's kind of dull.
"But at the same time, we've got to win ball games. It's up to the team and the coaching staff. They can love you or hate you, but you can only control what you do on the floor. You have to try to get wins. Everybody loves winners."
One group of Illini fans hasn't wavered in support of the team, and McCamey appreciates it.
"It's tremendous knowing all the hard work the Orange Krush went through night in and night out. They went to Minnesota and a couple more places with long hours of driving, knowing they had class the next morning. It's trying to give back to the fans and trying to win a ball game."
While he can't explain exactly why he suffered a prolonged mid-season slump, a combination of factors conspired against him and the team. McCamey says the pressure to win games against quality teams up and down the Big 10 lineup played a role.
"A little bit. And knowing you had good shots but were not hitting them, shots you usually make day in and day out, and then the team losing. That built a little bit of stress. But now everybody is fighting and leaving it all on the court."
Weber reminds that Big 10 opponents have a primary goal to stop McCamey. He has a target on his back, and he must step up his game even more to counter opposing defenses.
"I think all year and in the Big 10, especially when you get into the second time of playing people, they've got to make a decision: how do you guard him? They jammed him on ball screens, they tried to deny him, they made him fight for things. People are gonna try to take the ball out of his hands. That's just smart basketball.
"That's where he's got to be mature. He's gonna have to make the easy play, the easy pass, the easy read and be happy that he got assists and we made shots and we win."
The same is true on the defensive end. The first three years of his college career, Weber had to hide his point guard by having him guard the weakest opponent. Even then, he got burned frequently. While he is still far from perfect, McCamey has worked to improve his defense this season according to Weber.
"It's gotten better, he's playing harder. Is he a defensive stopper, no. But he's definitely gotten better and trying to do it. I think he has ability, it's just commitment and pushing himself."
Little by little, McCamey's shot and his confidence have returned. It's no coincidence the Illini have played better also. Although they lost, the game at Purdue may have been a turning point.
"After the Purdue game, it seemed like the beginning of the season," McCamey reflected. "Guys were flashing to the basketball. We had a good Purdue team, 6th in the country, beat in the first half. We just didn't finish the second half."
Their play reminded of the Illini team that defeated quality North Carolina and Gonzaga squads early in the season. Knowing they must continue winning to reach the NCAA Tournament provides extra impetus. The Illini believe they can end the season on a positive note.
"Everybody was talking about how great we were when we were ranked at the beginning of the season. It really matters now, so if we do get in to the NCAA Tournament, it's zero to zero. It's whoever is playing the best basketball at that moment. We're picking it up each and every week and getting back to what we had at the beginning of the year. Which was a plus for us."
Most prognosticators say the Illini are guaranteed a spot in the Tournament, but McCamey refuses to believe that until it happens. He doesn't want a repeat of last year.
"The NCAA Tournament is out of our hands. We had Ohio State two overtimes and could have had a chance to win that game. Everybody thought we was in, but we wasn't. We can't control all that. All we know is we've got to keep winning. We've got to wait until Selection Sunday."
Whatever happens the rest of the season, McCamey feels next year's Illini team has the makings of a quality group without him.
"They're gonna be real athletic. They need somebody who can control tempo. Tracy (Abrams) has good qualities in doing that. And D.J. (Richardson) with another year, and Brandon (Paul) improving ball handling and things like that, they're gonna be capable.
"They're gonna be one of the top teams in the country paper-wise. I think with hard work and just a little more dedication, ball handling and decision-making, I think they'll be fine."
When asked his star's biggest improvement over his career, Weber provided a revealing response.
"Maturity. He's come a long way, from school to life to basketball. Just understanding what it's about. What you've got to do and how consistent you have to be. Those are the things he's made strides in.
"And he said it after the (Indiana) game, it's gonna give him a chance in life. I just hope he takes that next step, really getting that fire going, that drive. He has the opportunity and ability to do it."
McCamey was named third team All-Big Ten, but the conference was loaded with quality guards who had exceptional years. The mid-season slump likely ruined a better result, but his days of playing basketball are far from over.
Now that he is maturing and seeing a bigger picture, McCamey can hopefully enjoy a long professional career somewhere. Weber says McCamey can enhance his NBA chances "a lot" with quality play in the post season.
"We got to the big, big state, but I bet Deron jumped from the end or middle of the first round to the top of the round. Everybody's watching. First impression is always important, but the last one is just as important. And he's playing well right now. I hope that continues."
Whatever happens the rest of this season, he will be difficult if not impossible to replace at Illinois.

At home in The Suburbs [the neighborhood]
By Lee Broughton
I grew up in England, and Arcade Fire is pretty big across the pond, too. As you can see above, they're my musical taste of the moment. If this were a video blog, you'd already know me as a Brit. But – aside from the fact that everybody here has an accent – I feel very much at home in Enterprise's home town of St. Louis. My sense of belonging is in large part from the time I spend at my company – just like most of us that must work for a living. We try to champion and support the communities where we do business, thus making it a little more palatable. Besides a nod to Arcade Fire for their recent Grammy win, I bring them up because a lyric in their song "Ready To Start" got me to thinking: Businessmen drink my blood…like the kids in art school said they would. That comes off as a blanket indictment on business, but that seems odd because the business world today is internalizing various social causes — sustainability and the health of employees, for example — that have historically been thought as social instead of business causes. This polemic is age-old and everyone from Friedman to Bono, and from Goldman Sachs to Patagonia has been involved in defining a business's responsibility. We certainly play our part, too, and in fact attribute the genesis of our corporate responsibility to our founder Jack Taylor and his belief in giving back to the cities and towns where we operate. I personally have been involved in landscaping at a local senior citizens' home, helping at food banks, and teaching public school classes, among other things. Some because a customer of ours is concerned by it, others simply because the school is in the same town as a regional HQ. It's hard to single out one employee endeavor over another – they're all terrific. And pooling them all together, it's awesome to think about the impact we have in the communities we serve through more than 6,000 neighborhoods and airport locations. Just a couple of samples:
In Philadelphia, 50 volunteers from the Business Management and Business Rental Sales departments painted and cleaned the Charles Papa Playground and Recreation Center, as well as Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, as part of a Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday service project. We like to think we make people's lives a little better through projects like these. And we know we're building some great relationships in the process.
As part of a United Way day of caring in Baltimore, members of the enrichment team tended a strawberry patch and helped with a potato field at Clagett Farm, which hosts educational programs to show how sustainable farming can help save the Chesapeake Bay. But those ties to our neighbors don't just contribute to stronger communities. We believe they help make our business stronger and better, too. For us, community engagement is one more essential part of running a sustainable business. So, while I sincerely appreciate Arcade Fire's art, I believe that cynicism is actually the drinker of our blood, and that enormous strides are made when a group of people united by one idea (in this case, the company they work for) get together. Thoughts/Comments? Lee
By Charlie Leake-
Hey Lee
Loving the Arcade Fire reference – very thought provoking. I agree entirely with the 'moving as one group towards a common goal/understanding' – this is a hugely powerful concept. One that I've had the pleasure of experiencing at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and one that I see on a more personal level as part of a local karate group!
A 'sense of belonging', for me at least, is how well you connect with the values and aspirations of the people who are with.
Keep up the sterling work and rock on, Lee!

Phil Anselmo: 'I don't know why Vinnie Paul is scared of me'
Former Pantera singer Phil Anselmo recently spoke to Loudwire about whether he has tried to reach out to Vinnie Paul in an effort to settling the long-running feud between the two former bandmates.
"There was no public attempt, really; it was just [me being asked about it in] interviews," Anselmo said. "He's surrounded by security guards. Man, if I showed my face, Jesus Christ..."
"I don't know why he's scared of me," Anselmo continued. "He's got this fear. I think it all comes from deep love, really. 'Cause when you love something, or somebody, so much and things go backwards, that if you love 'em that much, then eventually the word 'hate' comes in, and you can hate 'em even worse."
"I know the dude loves me. I know he does. And I miss him."

WINDOWS LIVE MAIL 0x800CCCOF
I have used Live Mail for say a year pulling without any problem 3 different
yahoo.co.uk email addresses. Recently I keep getting intermittently this
error. 0x800CCCOF
Sometimes on one account sometimes on 2 sometimes on all three yahoo.co.uk.
I do not gett this error when only synchronizing (send/receive) talktalk.net
e mail address.
If I patiently synchronize (send/receive) several times I will eventually be
able to
get the messages but it can take many attempts over say 15 minutes. So it is
irritating and feels somewhat unreliable. I use the paying version of AVG and
have disabled the Email scanner , as suggested by some in the group. It makes
no difference.
I have also looked into tools>"safety options">security>digital Id (there is
none). So both above possibilities have not offered a cure.
Any other suggestions ? Thanks. Roget

In this episode, we talk with University of Pittsburgh School of Law Professor David Harris about his new book Failed Evidence: Why Law Enforcement Resists Science. We discuss the cultural and organizational resistance to adopting scientific techniques into police and prosecutorial practices, and what social scientists can do about it.
This episode we return to our ongoing series on genetic research and sociology inspired by our Summer 2009 feature article on the topic (take a listen to our interview with Thomas Bouchard to hear our first discussion). This time we engage with a slightly different "socio-cultural" perspective and invited sociologist Allan Horwitz to give us his take on how this new science of the gene may medicalize new syndromes. Horwitz also talks about his new controversial book The Loss of Sadness, an examination of the medicalization of depression.
Also in this episode, Jeremy Minyard shares a discovery on corporate deviance and legitimacy.
This episode we take a break from talking to all of these sociologists and talk to a psychologist instead: Thomas Bouchard, Director of the Minnesota Center for Twin and Adoption Research. Bouchard is a strong advocate of bridging the biological and social sciences (ahem, behavioral sciences), and is a strong critic of sociology's traditional failure to participate in this effort. Given the recent AJS Special Issue on genetics and social structure, as well as our Summer 2009 feature on the topic, we thought it'd be fun to share some of this work with Bouchard and sit down to hear his thoughts on genetics, science and the relationship between psychology and sociology.
Also, Shannon Golden shares a discovery on the religiosity of American professors.

Deer of a Different Color!
2 Attachment(s)
Thought you might like to see the following pictures.
The first one was in 2008 when he was a fawn and the next one was this summer when he walked out into my front yard. For those who have never seen one before it is what is called a Pie Bald Deer in Tennessee.
We've got a lot of those here and in the northeast part of the state where I grew up there's a lot of white deer, not albinos just white.
Awesome! We had an albino, completely white, down at my folks place. We watched her for 2 years before the neighbor shot her.

He is around the seventh generation of this family I have followed and photographed since 2003. Here is the original Mother (Doe) Deer that actually died in the winter of 2009. I figured she was around 2 years of age when we moved here in 2003. I could always ID her due to the fact that when she was young coyotes or something had attacked her as a young fawn and left scars on her side that were easily Identified. This is her below in 2006 with twins. I am sure the Pie Balds mother was one of the fawns in the picture with the Old Mother Doe. The Mother Doe had twins every year when she was alive. I figure she was around 8 or 9 in 2009 when she died. I am an avid hunter but have a lot of respect and love wildlife and nature! :)
Ya my little cousins first bow kill ever was last year and he killed a button buck that was what we call a fallow deer. I didnt want him to kill the big doe and thought he had until we climbed down and i seen the nubs. Im glad now that he killed it since it was about a 3 year old deer and had several broken ribs and a badly healed front leg.
God didnt make all men equal colonel sam colt did
NY boasts one of the largest populations of white deer in the world....NOT albino...eyes still have pigment.
thats odd, you sure there not a bleach factory or something down the road?
God didnt make all men equal colonel sam colt did
I think those solid white ones ar also considered piebald, something about it being the same genetics that cause the coloring.
They look like some real fancy moccasins to me.

A VOLUNTARY organisation has received £3,400 to commemorate the town's role in the First World War.
Kidderminster Heritage Opportunities Group (HOGs) will organise an exhibition of artefacts, medals and local research using the Heritage Lottery Fund grant.
Colin Hill, chairman of Kidderminster HOGs, said: "We are thrilled to have received this support, which will enable us to mark the centenary of the First World War in a fitting manner.
"We hope the people of Kidderminster will find our heritage event – The People's War 1914-1918: Kidderminster Remembers – helps to make clear the impact this terrible conflict had on the people of the town."
The event, on Saturday, September 13, at Kidderminster Town Hall, will feature the work of local historians Sally Dickson and Don Gilbert, while family historian Gay Hill will lead sessions on how to research relatives who fought in the war.
Entertainment from the period will be presented by the Rose Theatre and demonstrations of life during the war will be put on by Birmingham Pals re-enactment society.
Sixth form students will be investigating archive copies of The Shuttle written during the war years to present.
Members of the public are invited to include their items.
The project will continue beyond the day, with research, undertaken in partnership with pupils from local schools, into the 672 names on the war memorial in Kidderminster.

SARASOTA - Police say they have arrested 25-year-old Kyle Riley on Capital Sexual Battery and Incest charges. The arrest comes two weeks after 22-year-old Joshua Riley was arrested in the same case.
Kyle Riley was arrested by deputies with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office just after midnight on Thursday morning in the 6500 block of Gateway Avenue, in the Gulf Gate area of Sarasota.
Joshua Riley was arrested on the same charges on July 3rd.
According to the Sarasota Police Department, the crime happened in the City of Sarasota.
The victim, now 14 years old, told detectives she started having sex with Joshua when he was 8 years old, which would make her an infant at the time, and later with Kyle. She said both Kyle and Joshua would use a butter knife to unlock her bedroom door and have sex with her.
The victim says that Kyle was having sex with her until June 27, 2013, when the victim confided in a friend and detectives were called.
After his arrest, Joshua consented to a polygraph test and confessed to the crimes. He says he loves the victim "more than he should, in a girlfriend kind of way."
Detectives recovered used condoms from Joshua's room, finding them exactly where the victim described them.
A Capital Sexual Battery charge carries no bond and could carry a sentence of life in prison without parole.

\chapter{Modern SSTV systems features} Edit
A milestone between old and modern SSTV image transmission is without doubts an usage of semiconductor memory chips. The first converters amongst fast and slow-scan television (SSTV converters) was created thanks to permanent image storage in memory. Due to it the image transmission could be more improved, because a major constraining fact the usage of long persistence CRTs was eliminated. Due to it some new formats with longer transmission time were developed. They brought more quality to black and white or color image transmission.
There was a trend in design of new formats to create several modes on each system. First the modes with faster transmission and lower resolution and such the modes for transfer better quality images but in longer time. There should be possible to change between them according on actual band condition.
Early phases of development was influenced by two companies~-- the American {\em Robot Research Inc.} and the German {\em Wraase Electronic\/} leaded by radio amateur Volker Wraase, DL2RZ. Each of them introduced a SSTV converter which use their own transmission system. These systems are different in used colour coding, scan line format and synchronization way. Their converters provide several modes. The {\em mode} denotes a format of image transmission, its resolution and transfer speed.
As often happens, the professional device should not fully comply to hamradio uses. So the new systems with more modes were implemented into converter's firmware. And their were reimplemented into other devices for ensuring of compatibility. Sometimes the new genuine system was designed for overcomes some imperfection of originals.
The number of those systems has grown unbelievably. Recently they were some new added for fully utilization of modern computers potential. Modern personal computers with the necessary equipment are full successors of SSTV converters. The advantage of computers is especially bigger memory and better image resolution.
If we count the amountr of all SSTV modes we find approximately the number 70! So SSTV image is possible to transfer by seventy different modes, which are mutually different in transmission time, resolution, colour coding, etc. In the vast majority they are absolutely unique and incompatible\ldots
You can get little scarred from previous lines, but I can reassure you, because only few modes are usually used.
The European amateurs were widely used SSTV mode called~{\em Martin M1}, but in recent time there are modes {\em Martin M2} and {\em Scottie S2} to be heard. The other used mode is special {\em Scottie DX}, it is characterized by very high image quality. The mode {\em Robot 36 Color} undertaken in the space communication.
Fortunately, all modern converters and computer software are able to operate with these popular modes, so the problem that two stations can not establish the QSO may not occur.
There will be described a digital vertical synchronization for automatic mode selection, because every mode uses digital header with its identification. Thanks to it any SSTV device can automatically switch the correct mode and starts the reception. Computer software also supports the mode detection by measuring the time elapsing between two successive sync. impulses of image line.
The details will be described in the next chapters.
\section{Signal modulation} Edit
\subsection[bandwidth]{Bandwidth} Edit
Some different communication channels, whether wired or wireless, have several characteristics. They define their behaviour in transfer of effective signal. These include for example the {\em attenuation }, the attenuation defines, how much the communication channel attenuate a transferred signal. Another important characteristic is the {\em bias}, the various distortions that occurs due to imperfections of communication path.
There are several negative influences, which affect signal transfer on any communication path. Their effect cannot be negligible. The intensity of this effect depends also on frequency of signal. Generally, it is always possible to identify a range of frequencies that a particular transmission path can transfer well and outside this frequency range the transmission is too poor.
The signal bandwidth does not depend only on the frequency range used for modulation, in our case 1,500\,Hz to 2,300\,Hz, but also on the signal spectrum.
The {\em Fourier analysis} is used to determine the spectrum bandwidth. The analysis can express any waveform in the form of the sum of a large number of sine waves~-- harmonic compoments.
Limited bandwidth has the effect that the harmonic components lying inside this band will be transferred more or less without blemish and another harmonic components pass with a huge distortion or not at all (more in~\in{chapter}[sampling], \at{page}[sampling]).
{\em Bandwidth} can be seen as characteristic of the transmission path given by the range of the signal spectrum.
The basic rule for the required bandwidth is called {\em Nuquist rate}. The definition is that optimal bandwidth equals a half of modulation speed. It is true that the necessary bandwidth increases with the amount of transferred information per time unit.
\subsection{Modulation techniques of analog SSTV} Edit
The SSTV broadcast to be carried out using single-sideband (SSB) amplitude modulation with common hamradio transceiver. Frequencies above 2,500\,Hz are strongly suppressed, so the frequency of white colour, the maximal level of SSTV signal, was chosen 2,300\,Hz.
SSTV signal are transmitted by frequency modulation of audio signal. For avoid any phase shift and drift (both has negative impact on picture quality) is the spectrum of video signal modulated on auxiliary carrier frequency 1900\,Hz~-- {\em subcarrier}. This modulation method is called {\em Sub-carrier frequency modulation (SFCM)}.
Frequency of video signal varies from black by gray shades to white. Bandwidth needed for SSTV transmission varies in the range 1.0 to 3.2\,kHz and depends on the SSTV mode, transmission speed and also on image content, see \in{fig.}[imgresol].
Cheap modems (based on Hamcomm) does not use perfect continuous harmonics signals, byt also creates the quantizated signal. Step changes between quantization levels require wider bandwidth, so some image details can get lost.
\placefigure[][fft]{The bandwidth for two images broadcasted in Martin M1 mode.} { \externalfigure[sstv/obr/sstv_spectrum.pdf] }
Emission classification codes SSTV mode as {\em J3F}, meaning is:
- \item {\em J}~-- Carrie modulation: Single-sideband with suppressed carrier.
- \item {\em 3}~-- Nature of modulating signal: One channel containing analogue information.
- \item {\em F}~-- Detail of signal: television signals.
In case of SSTV transmission by frequency modulated (FM) channel is emission classified as {\em F3F} and {\em A3F} for amplitude modulation (AM) with both side bands.
\section[imgresol]{Image resolution} Edit
\placefigure[][pic:araresol]{Image quality depends on resolution.}{ \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/ara50x38][width=.4\makeupwidth]}{50$\times$38} {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/ara120x90.png][width=.4\makeupwidth]}{120$\times$90} \stopcombination }
{\em Resolution} is a feature that tell what amount of details is possible to store in image, see \in[fig.]{pic:araresol}. The resolution has two parameters: horizontal resolution, the number of image columns~$\times$ number of image lines, the vertical resolution.
In television technology there is more important parameter the vertical resolution (number of lines) and it is given by SSTV mode selection. To get the horizontal resolution is more complicated.
As it's described in previous text, the image is broadcast throught SSB channel on short waves and the maximal bandwidth is limited.
The SSTV is {\em analog} mode and cannot transfer images without loss. The image is not exactly same on reception side as on trasmin side. Even it the transmission channel, respectively reception was without any interference or noise, then due to transmission speed and limited bandwidth is image distorted. The distortion is greater the faster the information is sent. Therefore it is very difficult to say what is the horizontal resolution of SSTV image.
The most of the modes carries images with 240 lines and the image is displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio on a screen. So we can say that the number of columns is $240\times4/3=320$. This valuethen corresponds to theoretical resolution, but not {\em real} image resolution.
The test chart (\in{fig.}[pic:resolution]) is used for qualify of image horizontal resolution. With the resolution pattern contains alternating stripes of black and white in some rasters from very rough to the fines. There is the comparison of this image with normal photography in \in{fig.}[pic:fft].
\placefigure[][pic:resolution]{Horizontal resolution comparison for several SSTV modes.} { \startcombination[2*6] {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/resol/original.png][width=.4\makeupwidth]}{} {Test pattern original}{} {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/resol/m2.png][width=.4\makeupwidth]}{} {Martin M2\hfill ($\sim$220\,$\mu$s)}{} {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/resol/r36.png][width=.4\makeupwidth]}{} {Robot 36 Color\hfill ($\sim$280\,$\mu$s)}{} {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/resol/m1.png][width=.4\makeupwidth]}{} {Martin M1\hfill ($\sim$450\,$\mu$s)}{} {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/resol/mp115.png][width=.4\makeupwidth]}{} {MP115\hfill ($\sim$680\,$\mu$s)}{} {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/resol/dx.png][width=.4\makeupwidth]}{} {Scottie DX\hfill ($\sim$980\,$\mu$s)}{} \stopcombination }
All SSTV modes in \in{figure}[pic:resolution] have the number of columns 320, but as we can see that not all can transfer the image in such quality. See note in brackets, it says approximate time needed for transfer of one pixel. While the Martin M2 we can hardly distinguish second fines grid, the M1 mode with double transmission time it can transfer without problem, but the finest raster is biased, compare it on real picture in~\in{fig.}[pic:m1vsm2]. Another two modes with longer times of transmission can transfer the finest details. Unfortunately, it's pricey compensated by reduced speed of transmission.
\placefigure[][pic:m1vsm2]{The comparison of two modes in real conditions of 14\,MHz band.} { \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/rozliseni_m1.png][width=.5\makeupwidth]}{Martin M1} {\externalfigure[sstv/obr/rozliseni_m2.png][width=.5\makeupwidth]}{Martin M2} \stopcombination }

Green Party Nominee Rev. Pinkney's Campaign Speech
Congressman Fred Upton, Heir to Whirlpool
Rev. Edward Pinkney of Benton Harbor, Michigan has joined the field of Green Party candidates challenging 13 of 16 Congressional Seats.
Rev. Pinkney is the latest entry in the 6th District Congressional race where the incumbent is Fred Upton (R St Joseph), the heir to whirlpool Corporation. Rev. Pinkney, a minister and activist, is serving a three to ten year prison term for quoting Biblical scripture to the corrupt Judge Alfred Butzbaugh. The judge who stands to make millions of dollars from land stolen from the residents of Benton Harbor for the Harbor Shores Project.
Rev. Pinkney's Campaign Speech:
It is our constitutional duty as American citizens to hold our elected officials accountable for their words, action and inaction of wrong doing.
The Herald Palladium featured an article on Congressman Fred Upton's position on energy, whereby he declared, "I think it's the only issue in the upcoming election". Congressman Fred Upton is so out of touch with the realities of what is happening in America that he believes that resolving this one issue will resolve everything for all Americans. Congressman Upton, there are other important issues currently affecting Americans. There are the issues such as the significant loss of jobs to Mexico and other cheap labor locations, the rapid expansion of the federal deficit, (This deficit will be devastating to all Americans if it is not reversed quickly.) billions of dollars wasted in Iraq, 50 million Americans without any health insurance, pension plans in jeopardy throughout both public and private sectors. Evidently Congressman Upton does not consider these issues important to American citizens of southwest Michigan. It is a shame he represents the citizens in Michigan with such an attitude and has a congressional record that ignores any resolution of these issues. Congressman Fred Upton has failed to face the reality about our problems for years.
I strongly suggest that the justice system in Berrien County needs to be investigated. The case against me, violating my First Amendment rights, should have everyone around the county, state and country saying No More to the Whirlpool Corporation, the Upton family and to 6th District U.S. Representative Fred Upton. A man that is out of touch with the citizens he represents.
The news release said I am paying a heavy price for my beliefs and I will get a chance to express them by running for office. I am the perfect candidate, who has sacrificed myself for the people.
The news release said I have opposed Whirlpool Corporation's influence on local government and the plans to take Jean Klock Park away from the people of Benton Harbor for a Jack Nicklous Signature Golf Course priced for the wealthy. I have opposed the Harbor Shores Redevelopment Corporation, of which the Whirlpool Foundation is a part, who wants to take or steal 22 acres of the Jean Klock Park land for three holes of the Jack Nicklous Signature Golf Course.
The Green Party's news release compared me, Rev. Pinkney, favorably with progressive era labor leader Eugene V. Debs, who was jailed by federal authorities for violating the 1917 Espionage Act by advocating WWI draft resistance. As Socialist Party nominee, Debs collected nearly a million votes for President in 1920 while sitting in federal prison. The winner Warren G. Harding pardoned Debs after assuming office.
The Ten Key Values in my platform are: decentralization, sustainability, social justice for all, non-violence, feminism, economics, ecological wisdom, respect for diversity, community and statewide jobs, no more war, solve the energy problem.
Lets get out and spread the word. Help me Rev. Pinkney unseat Congressman Upton who is out of touch with the people. I challenge Congressman Fred Upton to a debate, anytime. Let Us Change Michigan Together.

So what. His audience was inmates. They can't vote for him while they are locked up. This is still a matter of, "look at me, I am so important!" He continues to be a legend in his own mind. We'll look at the numbers when the votes are tallied and have a good laugh! What about his pretend hunger strike "look at me!" How's that hunger strike coming? Phoney, Phoney, Phoney!

LOL! What a classic! Hey everybody, check out this link http://www.greens.org/values/
Ed's personal "platform" of ideas (of course, without a hint of explanation as to how he would make any of them a reality) has a GLARING omission from the "Green Party" platform: PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Psst, hey Ed -- you might want to consider adding that...doesn't look good to leave that part out.

Convicted felon Mary Gault, MDOC #413480, (see Michigan OTIS) posts another fantasy. She is a convicted liar. She aided and abetted criminals. She pretends to be a reverend herself. We know the Bible won't stand in the way of her conduct. Why is anything she says believable? Phoney, Phoney, Phoney!

Apparently, there aren't any composition or proofreading classes available at the correctional facility where Pinkney is currently incarcerated...
At the very least, I'd want anyone representing me and my causes at the congressional level to have a basic handle on the rules of grammar... but then again... I guess it's evident how well Pinkney does with laws.

Anyone know if Pinkney is even eligible to run for office? He isn't a resident of the district any more.

Memories of Dover Drag Strip
By Tom DeLello
Digger ready to go at Dover Dragstrip. Photo by Tom DeLello
I'm an old Drag Racing Fan myself... We used to frequent Dover Drag Strip
in Wingdale, N.Y., from 1961-1964. Here's a snapshot I took back in '63. I
don't really remember very much about the machine, except that it didn't run
very well that day. That's a short wheelbase Dragmaster chassis, and that
would have made this machine about a year and a half out of date for the
time I took the picture. Also it was a blown small block Chevy, probably 327
The big "Honchos" at the Dover Drag Strip in those days were
the Lagana Brothers. As you must know, Bobby is active now in the Top Fuel
category with Bobby Jr. But in THOSE days, Billy ran red 409 and 427
Chevys with a sponsorship from a local Chevy dealership in Eastchester, N.Y.
He was FAST... 11.90 ETs at about 120 MPH.
But his brother Bobby was the real
show, if you ask me... Bobby ran a very ratty looking post war Plymouth
coupe in the C/G class. He ran in the low 12s and 113+ MPH. It had a small
block Chevy with those straight up fuel injector stacks and a Borg-Warner
four speed transmission. In those days, the gas coupes used heavy-duty truck
rear axles, and very large 300-lb. truck batteries, mounted in the trunk for
ballast purposes. But Bobby had his mounted up high and outside the trunk
body... as a device, I guess, to raise the center of gravity and create
better weight transfer. I've often wondered how that could have been legal
according to the rules of drag racing in those days. Eventually, Bobby
managed to give the coupe a red paint job and he fashioned a fiberglass
front end that didn't look too neat...but it worked...!
(If anybody's got any digitized photos from those days at Dover, I'd
love it if you'd e-mail some to me!)
My brother built an AA/FD with a blown Hemi...he took it to California
and teamed up there with Paul Gommi. The machine was unsuccessful in drag
racing, but my brother taught himself valuable welding skills by building it
and that became the basis of a successful career for him.
My father did beautiful restorations of V-8 Fords from the thirties...he
did five of them as a hobby...but had no use for drag racing...
This one was his 1932 Roadster...
And this one's a 1935 Ford Convertible Sedan...very rare.
He also did another '32 Roadster, a '35 Phaeton, and a '36 Phaeton. Then
he did a '36 Cord by Auburn, but couldn't complete it due to a lack of
Our neighbors ran an SS/A Dodge 426 C.I. Ram-Inducted, sponsored by the
Gramatan Dodge dealership in Mount Vernon, N.Y. They did well with it at
Dover Drag Strip, too.
We also would go to other tracks in the Northeast: Englishtown, NJ,
Westhampton, L.I., East Haddam, Conn., and others...
I went to the Don Garlits Museum last month...good show! I'm going to the
Gatornationals in March. Gonna' be FUN...!

Movies: Big Hero 6, The Dark Knight, No Country for Old Men...basically if it has a decent rating on Rotten Tomatoes...I'll probably like it.
TV Shows: Don't watch TV much anymore...would rather watch anime and random internet videos.
Music: Everything but country and jazz. I tried my best to like them but I can't..I'm sorry I just can't.
Food: Ramen, cakes, BigMacs, and everything unhealthy you could possibly think of..I'm disgusting I know =(
My future. I really wish that one day, I could be standing on top of a giant golden statue of myself just so I could gently whisper to myself, "I made it."

The State of Your Lungs and the State of the Air
One of the beautiful things about our lungs is how they not only help us to take in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, but they also have the ability to clean themselves. There are hair-like particles in the lungs called cilia that move in a sweeping motion to remove mucus, which attracts much of the dust, germs and other unwanted matter that gets into the lungs. When smoking, the cilia become coated with tar and they don't work well. When quitting, the cilia "wake up" and start working again to move mucus out of the bronchial tubes through coughing. When you quit, you may start coughing more than before—and that's a good thing. It's a sign that your body is getting back to its normal state.
The lungs are an amazing organ, made to move fresh air into our bodies and get rid of waste gases. Breathing fresh, clean air is vital to lung health.
The American Lung Association has just released an important report concerning air pollution, with findings that 58% of Americans, or more than a whopping 175 million people, live in areas with unhealthy air pollution.
Two of the most widespread pollutants, ozone and particle pollution, can cause some alarming symptoms ranging from shortness of breath and asthma attacks to chest pain, heart attacks and even premature death. Long term exposure to air pollution can increase women's risk of lower lung function and developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
You may be thinking, what does this have to do with me and why should I care about clean air? Well, you already know that smoking causes health risks, so couple those with health risks from air pollution and that doesn't paint a pretty picture, does it? Find out what the report says about the state of your air, what you can do to lessen your health risk from air pollution and what you can do to improve air quality where you live: www.stateoftheair.org.
A technical note: Some behind-the-scenes work will be done to the FFS Online Community at 5:00 a.m. EDT on May 17th. This may cause the site to look a little funny for about five minutes or so. We appreciate your patience as we work on some technical tweaks at that time.
Until next time, remember the 4 D's:
- Drink plenty of water. Are you getting enough water each day?
- Do something else. A change of activity will help you through urge curves.
- Delay. Don't give in the urge. It will pass in 3–5 minutes, whether you smoke or not.
- Deep breathe. Allow yourself some deep breaths to relax. In fact, why not treat yourself to a relaxation exercise now?
The American Lung Association adds a fifth D to that list:
- Discuss your feelings, concerns and thoughts on the Message Boards!
I'll see you on the Message Boards! :-) Mary Ella
Don't forget: If you're in the Premium program and want help fast on the Message Boards, put "HELP NOW" in the subject line of your post. If you're looking to offer help, watch for those, "HELP NOW" posts and alert your other FFS Online buddies friends to offer some assistance as well.

It's big country around Pendleton, and you'll experience that sense of open spaces at Wildhorse Golf Course, part of Wildhorse Resort & Casino. This inland links-style layout is nestled against the western foothills of the Blue Mountains and is one of Oregon's 7 Golf Gems. It plays over 7,128 yards that feature smooth, fast bent grass greens, manicured tees and lush fairways. The distance is even more apparent when the wind is up … which is often! The course rolls up and down and around several lakes, which attract abundant bird life. Looking west across the seemingly endless agricultural fields, Wildhorse bumps up against a vast sea of wheat.
If you visit Wildhorse July 18-19, you'll have the opportunity to see how those trees affect strategy by playing in Eastern Oregon's premier amateur event, the Wildhorse Amateur Golf Championship. The 36-hole stroke-play tournament is open to all golfers with a current USGA handicap.

View Opera Star Voigt Live in HD Jan. 5
Alumna Performs in Live Broadcast of the Met's Revival of 'Les Troyens'
Jan. 4, 2013
When alumna Deborah Voigt is on stage Saturday performing in the Metropolitan Opera's revival of "Les Troyens," her Orange County fans can sit in the audience — without heading to New York.
The soprano's performance will be on the big screen live, via satellite, at the AMC 30 (with IMAX) and Century Theaters 25 in Orange. The scheduled 9 a.m. screening coincides with the noon staging in New York.
As billed on the Metropolitan Opera's website, it's "a rare opportunity to witness Berlioz's vast epic, last performed at the Met in 2003. Deborah Voigt, Susan Graham, Marcello Giordani and Dwayne Croft lead the starry cast, portraying characters from the Trojan War. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi marshals the large-scale musical forces."
In "Les Troyens," which features powerful women dominating the action, Voigt portrays Cassandra, daughter of the Trojan king Priam. She discusses the role as part of a Q&A on the Met's website.
"I love Cassandra's character and personality. She has dignity and pathos, and her heart is breaking for her people and what they are about to endure. And the music Berlioz composed for her reflects every bit of this woman's richness. I love singing her music. I love the intensity of her feelings, but I also love the 'compactness' that Berlioz used to compose her music and express who she is."
No stranger to the role, Voigt won a Grammy in 1996 for a performance of "Les Troyens" with L'Orchestra Symphonie Montreal and Chorus. Her star turn as Brünnhilde two seasons ago is featured in the Met's new recording of Wagner's epic "Ring" cycle, which is nominated for a 2013 Grammy for "Best Opera Recording."
The cast sheet and synopsis for the Jan. 5 production are available online, and tickets for the screening of "Les Troyens" can be purchased online.
In her student days as a music major, Voigt studied with professor Jane Paul, now emeritus professor of music, who maintains ties with her former star pupil and has traveled abroad to see her perform. When Voigt made her Hollywood Bowl debut in 2005, Paul was there and joined her backstage prior to the concert.
Voigt returned to her alma mater in 2006 for the grand opening of the Clayes Performing Arts Center.
For the New York Times this spring, Zachary Woolfe wrote about the experience of seeing "Live in HD" broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera in movie theaters.
Beyond Saturday's performance, fans can look forward to the publication later this year of Voigt's autobiography, due out from HarperCollins. Meanwhile, admirers can follow her on Twitter @debvoigt. NPR music named Voight among "Five Musicians Who Are Fun to Follow on Twitter."

Modern witchcraft is based on the historically authentic beliefs and practices of classical witchcraft as adapted for the modern era. It is not the same as "Wicca" nor is it a religion. True witchcraft is a spiritual discipline and way-of-life that emphasizes self-empowerment and mastery of one's own fate.
Witchcraft focuses on the importance and value of the Self. Some people may see this as bad, but it is the philosophy of the most successful people in the world. Witchcraft understands that people who have limited choices, limited wealth and limited resources are not empowered people. Such people are unlikely to enjoy a satisfying life or contribute to society in a positive way.
A fully empowered person is in control of their own fate, their personal resources, their careers and their future. These are the people who have a positive impact on their own lives, the lives of their families and on society as a whole. Witchcraft is the art of being an empowered person.

In the year 325 CE, the first great world-wide council of the Christian Church deliberated in Nicaea under the leadership of the Bishops of the territory of the Roman Empire, and of the new Christian Emperor Constantine I. In addition to establishing a unified church dogma concerning the Holy Trinity and who Jesus is, the Council of Nicaea adjudicated many matters doctrinal and theological. One of these was a formal institution of the season of the liturgical calendar in which we find ourselves in March and April of 2014, Lent.
Two possible origins for Lent which pre-date the Nicaean Council are described by Dr. James F. White, Professor of Liturgics: "It was customary to think that Lent originated as the final intensive period of preparation for those catechumens (converts under training) who had been set apart, after considerable preparation, to be baptized at the Easter Vigil. New evidence shows a possibly earlier stand, a post-Epiphany fast of forty days in Egypt, associated with Christ's forty days in the wilderness, which immediately follows the account of his baptism in the Synoptic Gospels."
Isn't this an interesting comparison to: "Hey, what are you giving up for Lent? Chocolate, white wine?"
Professor White continues: "At any rate, the Council of Nicaea, A.D. 325, first referred to Lent as "forty days" and made it immediately precede Easter." Thus, the Lenten tradition is born and codified. The key element which I discern in the above descriptions is that of preparation! Lent is a means to an end, a preparatory period of time which leads to a spiritually fulfilled Easter experience. Even though part of the tradition is based on fasting, I do not necessarily subscribe to the via negativa method of achieving this fulfillment. Now don't get me wrong, each of us has our own way of preparing for Easter, different traditions and practices abound.
For me though, and this is something new because even though I grew up in the church I usually ignore the advice about which I am writing; I normally attend four Lenten studies at my church (with a meal of course- after all I am a United Methodist) and lo and behold, I am ready for Holy Week! But in the time I have left before Holy Week this year I think I will reflect on some of this great tradition we have. Because the early Christians were normally baptized on Easter I will try and reflect on my own baptism and all that it means. I will attend Chapel services during the week at Seminary, in addition to Sunday services. I will read more, listen more and share fellowship more with friends and colleagues. I will reflect upon God's blessings in my life and in the life of the community of which I have chosen to remain a part.
This year I am giving up nothing for Lent, I am adding to my plate. I trust this Pascha Season will be enriching!

Although votes from roughly half the ballot posts stationed across Egypt have yet to be counted, preliminary results leave little room for doubt: The nation's former military chief, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, has been elected as Egypt's next president.
The low turnout among the Egyptian population is a matter of concern, with less than half of the country's eligible voters, 44.4 percent, exercising their democratic right. Over 90% of them cast their vote for the immensely popular retired army general.
The country's Central Election Commission insisted on a third day of voting, and for good reason. The low vote count is indicative of the disregard many of the country's Islamists have for the elections as well as for the Egyptian military. Indeed, it is conceivable that if the Muslim Brotherhood had participated in the electoral process, an entirely different outcome may have ensued.
This is the dawn of an old day. Egypt is destined to return, more or less, to the state it was in before revolution swept the nation in January 2011. The military establishment that crowned Hosni Mubarak president in place of the late Anwar Sadat is the same establishment that gave rise to the country's newly elected leader.
For its part, the Brotherhood will continue to be persecuted as outlaws. The demonstrations and sit-ins that it stages, which devastated the country's economy and split the Egyptian nation in half, will rage on even after Sissi takes office.
Seen in that light, the success of the new president now depends not only on how well he is able to contain the Islamists' unrest, but also on his ability to appease the country's younger population, the leaders of the 2011 revolution who feel their efforts to bring change to Egypt were all in vain.
But above all, Sissi's success will be measured in his ability to resuscitate Egypt's faltering economy. To achieve this goal, Sissi will need continued assistance from the Gulf states and from the international community, as well as significant breakthroughs in his war on terror.
The incoming president is expected to continue dealing heavy blows to jihad operatives in the Sinai and elsewhere. He knows that if the al-Qaeda-affiliated radicals succeed in their attempts to carry out attacks, state tourism — perhaps the most critical asset to Egypt's economy — will go up in smoke. With that in mind, Sissi will probably continue the ongoing military operation in the peninsula, possibly at an accelerated rate and in multiple areas.
On that front, at least as far as Israel is concerned, Sissi's victory is excellent news. In media interviews conducted over the past few weeks, the former military chief stressed that preserving relations with Israel was a national interest. Military cooperation between Israeli and Egyptian security forces is therefore expected to continue in the coming years.
It is difficult to determine whether a decade down the line the special relationship between the two countries will still hold strong. It appears that as long as Sissi maintains stability in Egypt, cooperation with Israel will indeed remain intact. Yet if protests against the government expand, and the masses once again take to the streets, Sissi's reaction may lead to a rift in diplomatic ties between Egypt and the Jewish state. In such a case, the leadership may be inclined to find a scapegoat to blame for its problems.
Israel, traditionally, would be a leading candidate for the role.
