Authorities check 'credible' terrorist threats to NYC, D.C.
WASHINGTON Federal authorities were continuing to investigate "specific, credible but unconfirmed" threats Friday involving possible plots to attack New York City and Washington around the 9/11 anniversary.
The threat involving possible bombings was shared with New York and Washington police on Thursday.
The threat information was about three people who may have been dispatched to the U.S. to meet with associates to carry out the attacks, said a federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to speak publicly and asked not be identified.
BLOG: Feds probe possible 9/11 threat to NYC or D.C.
STORY: Post-9/11 mantra
INTERACTIVE: 9/11 10th Anniversary
President Obama was briefed about the matter Thursday morning and received updates during the day.
Vice President Joe Biden said Friday that the information, gathered from a source in Pakistan, was the first "credible'' threat received since the May raid that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
"We are using every asset we have to thwart'' any possible attack, the vice president said in an interview on NBC's TODAY. He also urged American to "continue your life as normal, but be vigilant.''
Department of Homeland Security spokesman Matt Chandler said documents recovered from the raid in May on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan revealed al-Qaeda's interest to strike the U.S. on meaningful dates.
"In this instance, it's accurate that there is specific, credible but unconfirmed threat information," Chandler said. "As we always do before important dates like the anniversary of 9/11, we will undoubtedly get more reporting in the coming days."
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the threat, while credible, was "not corroborated." He urged New Yorkers to go about their business as usual.
"There is no reason to change any of your routines," he said at a news conference Thursday night. He also urged citizens to report anything suspicious.
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the department was extending officers' shifts and would be increasing police presence on the streets.
He also said officers would be conducting additional bag checks at subway stations and warned citizens they might encounter police checkpoints throughout the city.
The threat information did not prompt an immediate elevation of the national threat level.
Earlier Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said there was "lots of chatter" among known terror associates and on jihadi websites in the run-up to Sunday's 10th anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., and Shanksville, Pa.
In the past several days, federal, state and local authorities have dispatched thousands of personnel to sensitive locations in New York City, Washington and elsewhere to guard against possible disruptions.
Even without a confirmed threat, officials said the heightened state of alert was necessary because of al-Qaeda's stated intent to strike on the 9/11 anniversary.
Attorney General Eric Holder said there would be noticeable increases in law enforcement at national landmarks and public gatherings commemorating the anniversary.
Napolitano said more air marshals would be riding commercial airlines, which al-Qaeda hijackers converted into guided missles during the 2001 attacks.
Amtrak is stepping up screenings of passengers and baggage throughout its rail system, including the heavily traveled Northeast corridor.
Information seized from bin Laden's compound shortly after the terrorist leader was killed by Navy SEALs revealed that al-Qaeda considered the U.S. rail system as a possible target.
John O'Connor, Amtrak vice president and police chief, said the railroad is expanding patrols and bomb-detection teams.
White House chief counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said U.S. efforts in the aftermath of 9/11 — specifically the elimination of top-level terror leaders — have "made it much more difficult" for operatives to launch large-scale attacks.
Al-Qaeda "has taken it on the chin," Brennan said.
The death of bin Laden, the architect of 9/11, was the most significant and symbolic of the organization's losses.
Brennan said the material shows the al-Qaeda chief was "a little out of touch about how debilitated his organization was" after years of battle with U.S. and other forces.
"He was pushing for these major types of attacks," Brennan said. "I think his lieutenants were trying to tell him, 'We know what you want to do — great aspirations — but our ability to do that is degraded because we are losing people.'"

"We reject this ultimatum," Iranian ambassador Ali Akbar Salehi told the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors before storming out of a board meeting on whether to issue Tehran with an ultimatum.
The IAEA went ahead and told Iran to prove by October 31 it was not secretly developing atomic weapons.
Salehi blasted the IAEA for descending into "political dialogue" and said the ultimatum spelled "disaster" for the nuclear watchdog.
"(We) have no choice but to have a deep review of our existing level and extent of engagement with the agency," he warned, according to a copy of his speech to the IAEA board.
Salehi rejected US charges that Iran had a covert nuclear weapons program and accused Washington of entertaining "the idea of invasion of yet another territory as they aim to re-engineer and reshape the entire Middle East region."
"(The ultimatum) targets the very core of our commitments and the current course of ever-accelerating cooperation," he complained.
"For the last 24 years, Iran been subject to the most severe series of sanctions and export restrictions on material and technology for peaceful nuclear technology," Salehi continued.
"So our peaceful program had no choice but to become discreet."

Asia-Cell, a consortium comprising Kuwait's Wataniya Telecom, Asia-Cell Telecomand United Gulf Bank (UGB) of Bahrain has been awarded the tender for the GSM license in northern Iraq.

BONN, Germany {AP} Talks to rescue a treaty on combating global warming moved into their decisive phase Saturday after making major progress in drafting the final negotiating positions including what appeared to be significant concessions to the United States.
Environmental activists said the parties looked headed for a deal, but delegates were more reserved as they rushed to study the proposals for implementing the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
"There is progress and a deal might be in the making," the conference chair, Jan Pronk, told reporters after hearing the reports from four committees that drafted positions for the final negotiating document.
The delegates from 178 nations were under pressure to reach a deal while the leaders of eight powerful countries were meeting in Italy. The Group of Eight summit includes the leaders of Japan and Canada, both fence-sitters in the talks, and observers in Bonn said the summit could give political signals that could cinch a deal.
The treaty, which aims to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by 5.2 percent of 1990 levels by 2012, must be ratified by 55 nations responsible for 55 percent of emissions worldwide to come into force.
Pronk presented the latest proposal to the delegates late Saturday, setting the stage for marathon negotiations scheduled to run at least through Sunday. The proposal covers four crucial areas: financing, emission credits for forests soaking up carbon dioxide, mechanisms for offsetting pollution reduction targets and sanctions for failing to meet those targets.
"Everything mentioned is something the environmental organizations can support," said Philip Clapp, head of the Washington-based National Environmental Trust.
"Now it's really a matter of the political will by the heads of government. Clapp said.
Although the United States has rejected the Kyoto Protocol, it was clear U.S. positions on key issues were taken into account.
"We have one difficulty, which is the big 'absent' in these negotiations," said Former Argentine Foreign Minister Raul Estrada, who drafted one of the reports. "We are trying to protect whatever is going to be the needs of that 'absent' to join us as soon as possible."
Among the issues that appeared to be going Washington's way was forest management, with proposed emissions caps largely in line with an approach that was acceptable to the United States in the past. Negotiators also seemed receptive to U.S. concerns that it will be required to help pay for implementation of the treaty.
While the United States has indicated it won't join the treaty, and therefore would not be bound by its rules, it is concerned about precedents being set under Kyoto that could be carried over to other international agreements.

Stanley Park
This is a massive park that I still go to all the time. It's really family orientated and always busy, with a lake you can go boating on, a big playground, trampolines, a big sports arena and a great café. There are also beautiful flower gardens to wander through - it's a lovely side of the town and shows that Blackpool isn't all about kiss-me-quick hats and candyfloss.

Club Sanuk
I don't go out clubbing too often nowadays, but Sanuk is a great night out if you want to have a good dance. It has loads of different floors, with different music, so there's something for everyone - whether you're into chart music, R'n'B or house.

There are loads of great bars and pubs to choose from, but it's hard to beat Funny Girls. It's a Blackpool institution: cabaret drag shows with fabulous costumes and a true northern sense of humour, where everybody's welcome.

The Grand Theatre
I have really fond memories of the Winter Gardens, because as The Nolans we spent a lot of summer seasons performing at the Opera House. However, my favourite theatre has to be The Grand - it's beautiful and has an amazing history. It's a real 'chocolate box' theatre.

Support groups are for losers.
"That's what I used to think," said J. Grady Jennings. "In reality, support groups saved my life."
Jennings, a jovial fellow with a hearty laugh, is the 54-year-old founder of the Ontario-based Dignity Group and the father of James, a special-needs child born with Down syndrome who died from complications of the flu in 2009 at 19.
It wasn't until James' birth that this former financial services consultant understood the business side of caring for a special-needs child. He was also compelled to share what he learned with others.
In 1997, Jennings started Dignity Group, an empathic, compassionate agency, understanding of the needs of families with special needs, according to his website.
It helps families understand the bureaucracy and dynamics of the disability system to assist them through overwhelming and scary times.
The organization assists families in making the right decisions for the right reasons at the right time, for special-needs children. Consultations are free enabling The Dignity Group to take a generic issue in situations, identify and apply the applicability to personal situations.
The situation got personal for Jennings in 1989 when his wife Joann, who died in 2007 from liver cancer, phoned him at work and asked to meet at a local restaurant.
"She'd been sick for a few months and went to see the doctor," said Jennings who had adopted Joann's two daughters from a previous marriage. "At the restaurant she told me she was pregnant. This was six years after she'd had her tubes tied. To say it was a shock is an understatement. "
Early testing revealed there may be a problem with the baby. Knowing the risks the Jennings decided not to pursue further testing and just let the pregnancy run its course.
"The baby was born blue," Jennings said. "He was diagnosed with Down syndrome and had heart problems. He was a mess. "
James was in and out of the hospital every weekend that first year.
"When you have a child with special needs your world turns upside-down overnight," he said. "You're dealing with the emotional and physical - but there is more - economic and legal issues of having a child with special needs. "
Because Jennings was familiar with all things financial he knew his special-needs infant son was entitled to various programs.
"So many people don't know that," he said. "If the child is under 18 the government decides benefits on what the parent can provide; after 18 the government makes decisions on what assets the disabled has. He or she cannot have more that $2,000 in their name or they will lose their benefits. "
Jennings explained that many parents believe they can provide for their special-needs child after their death by willing that child their estate.
"Not true," Jennings said. "If they do that, the child will lose the government benefit - including medical. Not a whole lot of people understand what that means. Many families have no clue. They are so focused on health they don't think about estate planning as it pertains to child. "
Jennings helped families on his own for five years before forming Dignity Group. Since its forming, the organization keeps growing and averages between 20 to 30 phone calls each week from families needing guidance.
"So much of the information about our children are in our heads," he said. "A lot of these kids have feeding tubes and a whole lot of different things going on with their bodies - we must download your brain. We've got to get that down on paper to help the next caregiver care for our children. Our prayer as parents of special-needs children is that we live one day longer then our children. "
Dignity Group helps parents create a road map into children's everyday lives.
"You just can't say, 'his sister will take care of him.' Or, 'I'll leave his part of the inheritance to his sister and she'll do what's right.' Sometimes circumstances get the best of even the best intentioned people," said Jennings, who speaks to supports groups and community service clubs.
"We help families understand how to prepare for tomorrow. We want to let everyone who needs us know we are here and we can help; that we understand. We walk that walk and we talk the talk. I know what they're going through, and I know what they still have to go through. "
The Dignity Group is at 1055 N. Euclid Ave., Ontario. Information: 909-986-2420, dignitygroup.org

A PIZZA company in Westhoughton carried out a litter pick in the town's beauty spots.
One of the town's largest businesses, Stateside Foods, which operates out of the Wingates Industrial Estate, collected more than 50 bin liners of rubbish on July 31.
A team of 20 tackled litter in Long Lane, Manchester Road, Chew Moor and footpaths near Westhoughton Golf Club and Dobb Brow.
The company, which is sponsoring Business of the Year in this year's Bolton and Bury Business Awards, Bolton Food Festival and works with Westhoughton High School, said Westhoughton was their community and it "needed looking after".
Managing director Jon Lucas said: "There are some very pretty walks in the areas around the Wingates Estate that, for a keen walker, can take you right through to nearby Borsdane Wood and Westhoughton Golf Course.
"These are being spoiled by the litter that is left. Westhoughton is our community — we care about it and need to look after it."
Cllr Kevan Jones, mayor of Westhoughton, said: "I am pleased one of our largest businesses has taken it upon themselves to tidy up our town.
"I hope other businesses can follow Stateside Foods' example and organise a litter pick in their area. Together, we can keep our community litter free."
The litter pick was carried out with help from Bolton Council and Bagnall & Morris Skips, who provided skips free of charge to remove the rubbish.

I hardly need add anything to this to show how barking mad Christians are—even when they're the supposedly tame UK Christians. From the Bristol Tab via Damian Thompson's website at the Telegraph:
Bristol University Christian Union have forbidden women from speaking at their weekly meetings.
The move reflects the recent decision by the Church of England synod to reject the introduction of female bishops, consequently ignoring the last century of the equal rights movement.
Having spent 'a lot of time exploring this issue, seeking God's wisdom on it and discussing it together' the CU executive committee decided that it was no longer appropriate for women to teach alone at weekly meetings, or be the main speaker at the CU weekend away.
Women are now also banned from speaking alone at the group's mission weeks.
However, it's not all gloom and doom: women are allowed to speak as a double act with their husbands. Those who are unmarried must remain silent.
Even more unbelievable: Bristol University Christians ban women from speaking

Category: MAME'd Millipede :: 3. Electronics
I've reserved this page for covering anything involving the integration of the emulation system with electronics of the original Millipede system.
At this point there are only a few items to mention. The cabinet is, for the most part, just a shell for holding the emulation system. The control panel is attached to the front but is wired entirely to the interface boards and the computer. The monitor is in the cabinet, of course, but is taking its signal entirely from the computer.
The exceptions to the rule are the new power switched I mounted under the front right edge of the control panel and the sound. The power is a square pushbutton switch with a strong, tactile click when it is toggled. I bought it at Radio Shack (overpriced as usual) and wired it in by putting compatible molex connectors on its wiring to go inline with the cabinet's own A/C feed to its power supply. This allows it to be removed simply by unplugging it and replugging the A/C line to the power supply. No changes were made to the wiring.
The monitor is powered by the cabinet's original A/C line to the original monitor with no differences to speak of. The cabinet power also controls the unmodified marquee lighting and the light bulbs in the coin mechanism.
Further integration takes place with the sound system. I wired the line-level output of the Soundblaster card to the inputs of the cabinet's original amplifier. This allows my emulation system to use the original speakers which are controlled by the cabinet's original volume control knob just inside the coin door. Again, returning the cabinet to the original configuration just involves popping out the molex pins of my emulation audio output and reinstering the pins of the Millipede board's audio output signals.
Aside from this, the original boards (unconnected for preservation) are still in the machine and all of the original wiring harnesses are untouched. I could easily unbolt my control panel, rebolt the original and plug all the harnesses back into their keyed mates. Voila - original Millipede.

Michigan Can't Wait - Our One Year Out Events Rock the State
Kathleen A. of South Lyon attended an office opening with one sole purpose: ensuring a better future for her grandson. "My son and daughter-in-law waited years to have a child because of student loan debt and a lack of steady, local long-term employment." Kathleen was excited to make phone calls and she hopes to organize other grandmothers in her community to volunteer.
With only one year left until Election Day 2012, regional offices all across the Mitten Sunday opened their doors to kick off a year of knocking on doors, making phone calls and bringing communities together in support of President Obama.
Our Fall Fellows and team leaders in Ann Arbor worked tirelessly to gather volunteer sign-ups and lead phone banks in support of the American Jobs Act with more than 100 attendees. Congressman John Dingell came out to support the President and fire up the crowd. "Much is at stake….we're going to be out there to work, and work hard. We can't do this without you."
Are you fired up and ready to go? Michigan needs you more than ever. If you couldn't make it out to one of our events yesterday, sign up to volunteer today.

Cabrera pitches 'Riders to 5-2 victory
By Cameron Varnau / Frisco RoughRiders | May 26, 2014 5:56 PM ET
FRISCO, TEXAS (May 26, 2014) - Frisco defeated the Springfield Cardinals by a score of 5-2 on Monday afternoon at Dr Pepper Ballpark on a Memorial Day showdown. Edwar Cabrera put on a show while showing off suburb command in his 6.1 innings pitched.
Cabrera showed excellent ability to get out of a jam as he encountered trouble early in the contest. A second-pitch double by Mike O'Neill and a looping single to center put runners on the corners with no one out.
In the next at-bat the 26-year-old righty fielded a chopper and fired over to first to hold O'Neill at third and retire Cody Stanley. Jonathan Rodriguez struck out swinging and David Popkins was called out on strikes to get Cabrera and the 'Riders back in the dugout.
Springfield starter Sam Gaviglio responded with a quick 1-2-3 inning and Cabrera matched him with a perfect inning of his own in the second.
Tomas Telis led off the home half of the frame with a single to left-center and Odubel Herrera walked to quickly put two on with no one out. Drew Robinson knocked an RBI single to right field, his 15th run batted in, to score Telis and put Frisco in front 1-0.
The game experienced a brief injury delay in the third when Trever Adams appeared to injury himself while advancing to third base on a Jake Smolinski double and Edwin Garcia entered the game to pinch-run for his comrade. Garcia scored to make it 2-0 on a Telis infield RBI single and Herrera scored Smolinski from third to push the lead to 3-0 Frisco. The 'Riders (30-20) were not finished in the inning as Ryan Rua got in on the action with a RBI single to left scoring Telis and making it 4-0 'Riders.
Guilder Rodriguez replaced Adams at first base and Garcia moved to shortstop in a pair of defensive changes for the RoughRiders in the fourth inning.
The Cardinals (23-27) were looking to end the series on a high note and they used some two-out magic to find their way on the scoreboard. Patrick Wisdom doubled to the corner in left and he late scored on a Matt Williams RBI single to make the score 4-1.
The RoughRiders channeled some two-out magic of their own the following inning when Herrera singled to right to bring up Rua. The Frisco third baseman shattered his bat on a rocket to third but was able to run out the play at first on Wisdom's throwing error. Herrera scored on Gaviglio's wild pitch and the 'Riders took a 5-1 lead.
Cabrera (2-1) gave a tip of his cap to the 4,754 fans in attendance after exiting the game in the seventh frame. He pitched 6.1 innings and allowed one run with two walks and six strike outs in his efficient outing.
Gaviglio (2-7) gave up ten hits and allowed five runs, four being earned, while walking two and striking out three in his six innings of work.
Francisco Mendoza came on to pitch the ninth frame and allowed a run to score on Jacob Wilson's RBI single to left, but the righty closed the door on the Cards to give Frisco the 5-2 win.
The RoughRiders depart north for a six-game road trip and open with a three-game series against the Tulsa Drillers. Right-hander Jerad Eickhoff (3-3, 4.44 ERA) returns to the mound following an impressive outing against the Drillers last week and opposes fellow righty Jon Gray (5-2, 2.79 ERA).

Other Steps
Despite reports to the contrary, US-CERT hasn't recommended dropping Internet Explorer as the only--or even the best--way to combat online threats. "US-CERT does not recommend one specific browser or software product over another," states US-CERT's Manion.
Instead, the US-CERT vulnerability note suggests dumping IE as the last of several strategies for handling a flaw in which a Web page in the Internet Zone (where IE invokes a number of safeguards against attacks) can trick IE into running JavaScript code in the much-less-secure Local Machine Zone, where programs are assumed to be known to the computer user.
Other measures that US-CERT recommends include disabling Active scripting (which encompasses JavaScript) and ActiveX controls in both the Internet and Local Machine zones; applying security updates for Microsoft Outlook; sending and receiving mail using the script-proof plain-text format; using an updated antivirus program; and avoiding links embedded in unsolicited e-mail, instant messages, or Web forums (see August's Internet Tips).
Even when the US-CERT vulnerability note finally suggests using a different browser, it says that doing so may prevent Web users from using all of the features of key Web sites. The solution isn't bailing out of IE, according to TruSecure's Cooper, adding that doing so would be like "stamping out a flea on your back with a tractor trailer." Both he and Manion instead recommend simply adding known, legitimate sites to IE's Trusted Zone after tightening security in the Internet and Local Machine zones.
Concerns about IE's flaws may further decrease as users install Windows XP Service Pack 2, which became available in early August. Cooper, for example, particularly lauds SP2 for incorporating new IE features that protect users from attempts to invoke or install malicious software via a Web page. Manion likes the way SP2 prevents Web sites from altering IE's interface--for example, by hiding address and status bars that show the real name of a Web page, which allows perpetrators of phishing attacks to make their pages look much more believable. (Phishing is the use of realistic-looking Web pages or e-mail messages purportedly from banks or other financial institutions that request recipients to enter their user names and passwords, which then go directly to the attackers.)
Still, Microsoft's new service pack is not a panacea. "I have no doubt that some sort of attack will be discovered that can work against IE after XP SP2," warns Cooper. But at the very least, he says, SP2's new safeguards will make the problem of not knowing that an attack has occurred "dramatically less likely--if not eliminating it entirely."

I am currently running 2 128mb sticks of PC133 with an AMD 1.1ghz processor. Because of my opus only being rated at 150 watts I already have to drop down to one hard drive and I may have to remove a stick of memory to lessen the load (supposedly 1 stick = 14 watts) If I do go down to one stick I will 128 be enough or would I see a difference if I went to say 512?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/2/2013 (1631 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Canada's first astronaut, Marc Garneau, one of nine Liberal leadership candidates hoping to launch the beleaguered party back into relevance, landed in Brandon on Sunday morning to speak with supporters.
Garneau, 63, spent about 90 minutes speaking with about half a dozen Liberal supporters at Smitty's in the city's north end, answering questions about his policy, and of course, his 677 hours logged in space.
This is the Montreal MP's second run at the party's top spot after coming in eighth place in the 2006 race, and Garneau has grounded his Manitoba campaign on fostering the nation's knowledge-based economy, with a plan to rely less on the ebb and flow of natural resources.
"The main preoccupation with Canadians is the economy," he said.
Calling Stephen Harper a "one-trick pony," Garneau is criticizing the government's focus on natural resources.
"He actually has no policy with respect to the knowledge-based economy. The resources economy is good … it brings wealth to the country, as long as we're doing it in a responsible manner."
Canada's economic health will be hinged upon an untapped educated labour market, comprised of both Canadians and immigrants, he said.
"We have a well-educated population and we need to do better … in terms of innovation, in terms productivity … and we're not."
With much of the attention gravitating around the apparent front runner Justin Trudeau, some see Garneau as the biggest threat to Trudeau's campaign.
"It's not going to based on popularity," Garneau said. "It's going to be based on who's best to take on Stephen Harper and Thomas Mulcair because that's the big decision."
The battered and bruised party will have to show Canadians that it has it's act together, he said.
"We're united, we're disciplined, we have good policy … and if we do all that, I think we're going to do well."
Other than former Manitoba agricultural minister Andy Mitchell, Garneau's campaign hasn't specified any other backers in the province, in which he has raised $1,100 as of Dec. 31.
Garneau's stop comes hot on the heels of a well-attended appearance by Trudeau, which attracted more than 200 people at Brandon University on Thursday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) A judge ordered a Texas doctor and his wife on Friday not to distribute videotaped footage of Anna Nicole Smith's breast augmentation surgery in 1994.
The order settles a lawsuit filed last year by Howard K. Stern, the executor of Smith's estate, who was trying to stop Dr. Gerald Johnson and his wife from distributing the tapes of the former Playboy Playmate.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff issued preliminary injunctions against the Johnsons more than a year ago before issuing his final decision.
Stern maintained that Smith never consented to the taping or to allowing the footage to be seen by Los Angeles memorabilia dealer Thomas Riccio, who got tapes from the Johnsons, according to court records.
Johnson has said he routinely records surgeries with the patient's permission and promises to keep the video confidential "during the patient's lifetime."
He said he gave Riccio permission to use the video after Smith died of a drug overdose in February 2007 in Florida. She was 39. Riccio's daughter edited the footage into a five-minute tape, scored with music similar to the theme from the film "Jaws."
The Johnsons' Houston-based attorney, Gus Pappas, did not return a message seeking comment Friday.
Larry Birkhead, who fathered Smith's daughter, called the video "truly disgusting" in a sworn declaration issued last year.
"It was clear that Anna Nicole was unconscious during the videotaping, and even more disturbing, the videotape focused on areas of her nude body that were unrelated to the location of the surgery," he said in the declaration.
Stern's attorney, Vivian Thoreen, said all the tapes have been accounted for under the judge's previous orders. She said the other terms of the settlement are confidential.
Although the Johnsons live in Texas, the Los Angeles Superior Court still has jurisdiction because the physician allegedly tried to disseminate the tape in Los Angeles County, said attorney Bruce S. Ross, who also represents Stern.

T.G.I. Friday's is gone, but a new name is riding into town
Here's some from my follow-up to the T.G.I Friday's on who is going into that now empty spot:
While another Rochester restaurant has closed for good, another player is saddling up to ride in and take its place.
It was a sad day for fans of T.G.I. Friday's and their 61 employees, when the Rochester location abruptly closed its doors Tuesday.
However, owner Quantum Leap Restaurants, of Eau Claire, Wis., did say that another business is lined up to sub-lease the restaurant at 300 U.S. 52 North by the Miracle Mile Shopping Center.
Details are still sparse, but I have confirmed what is slated to move into the 19-year-old complex in southwest Rochester.
Here's some from a email response I received from Twin Cities entrepreneur and restaurant developer Mike Tupa.
"The rumors are true. I'm very excited to be opening my fifth Wild Bill's Sports Saloon location in Rochester," he wrote in answer to my query if the buzz about Wild Bill's was on target.
I should be able to talk to him next week to find out more details about his plans.

Dustin Poirier, star of the documentary Fightville, began fighting at age five. Didn't know why, for some reason he needed to hit people. Hard. His Louisiana daddy and granddaddy were the same way. At age 10, the heavyweight champion of his block knocked out a 15-year-old's teeth, shattering his jaw. Dustin and his mama ended up in court.
Jail seemed inevitable. Then late in his teenage years, the belligerent, 200-pound alcoholic discovered mixed martial arts (MMA) on television. At age 20, when Fightville catches up to him, he's training daily at Gladiator's Gym, next to a suburban Piggly Wiggly grocery in Lafayette, La. Dustin is now a diamond-hard 150 pounds. Except after a winning fight and another $800 payday, when the featherweight splurges, jumping up a weight category by devouring an entire box of Walmart Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches.
Why not celebrate? Dustin has attracted the attention of MMA promoter Gil (The Thrill) Guillery. The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) could be next – TV appearances, his home paid off, a gaudy championship belt, maybe even a nickname for the world to remember.
"Fighting has opened the path to redemption for me," Poirier tells Fightville directors Petra Epperlein and Michael Tucker.
If only there was more of Dustin and his colleagues' back story in Fightville, the fight film might have been a real knockout. Unfortunately, the movie stubbornly sticks to the combatants' professional lives. What they hope to accomplish in the cage. (MMA bouts are waged in open-top shark tanks.)
We see lots of ring action, up-close. Watch faces swell and eyes close after battles. But we too seldom follow combatants home and discover what they're really like. Instead, we get informal press conferences and are forced to endure way too much talk about the essence of competition.
"Fighting is truth," trainer Tim Credeur gravely intones.
"We're not selling fights, we're selling entertainment," Guillery lets on.
"Every talent must unfold itself in fighting," Friedrich Nietzsche weighs in with a quotation from the great beyond.
Another Lafayette fighter, Albert Stainback, got into mixed martial arts to avenge his mother, a life-long punching bag for an abusive husband. Albert is on the same career path as his friend, Dustin, but then disappears in the middle of the film.
An alcoholic binge, apparently. Some trouble with a girl. He doesn't show up at the gym. In a few months he's out of shape and, before long, out of the game.
We want to know what happened. Want to see him with Dustin, closing a bar. Or hear from the girlfriend maybe. Was life with Albert another kind of caged fight?
The mistake filmmakers Tucker and Epperlein ( Gunner Palace) make here is assuming that fighters reveal their true characters in discussing their craft, when in fact just the opposite occurs: In talking about fighting, Dustin and Albert become actors, repeating clichés they've heard other fighters deliver over the years.
The characters in Fightville should have been silently observed going about their lives, not interviewed one on one, expressing their faith in the obviously dangerous religion of fighting.
As Nietzsche once said in a quote that isn't included in Fightville: "Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies."

I'm not sure if it's possible, but I think I tasted the humidity before the plane landed. In fact, I know it's not possible, but that didn't stop me from believing it, because it was the humidity that I missed. That same sticky, oppressive atmospheric pressure that Floridians despise chirped my siren song from two thousand miles away, because I had a theory.
Humidity makes you feel. That sultry air reminds you of larger uncontrollable schemas; it amplifies your anger, lust, or malaise, while also forcing you to consider your own role marinating in its presence. It's a catalyst for feeling, and I arrived ready to sweat in the Latino melting pot of Miami where R's roll like hips and tongues and hurricane flotsam.
While Miami may not be the emblematic starting point for an East Coast surf adventure, it pulses pluralistic energy befitting both Florida's surf community and our trip's infancy. On October 15 at 10:35 p.m. EST, photographer Patrick Ruddy and I embarked on a two-week trek from Florida to Maine with nothing but surfboards, a pickup truck, and a list of contacts for crash pads. Some stopovers had been coordinated well in advance. Others received calls as pulled up in front of their homes, bag-in-hand and smile-on-face. Our mission was to unveil the character and culture of the East Coast during its most colorful season, and like surfers in Miami, we were jumping out of our skin to get started.
"Overstoke," says born-and-bred Miami surfer Dave Begley. "That's the word I would use to describe the surf scene in Miami. There will be knee-high waves and everyone will be out surfing. When it's good you can't see the water—there are just 500 heads bobbing."
Likewise, we bobbed to the shuka-shuka-tat of maracas beneath electric palms on the Miami strip. The street was an Impressionist canvas of speckled colors and lights that nauseate under scrutiny, but form a beautifully digestible concept from a distance. As we came to know the state's surfers, it became apparent that the strip bore an uncanny resemblance to Florida surf culture: a composite of satisfied faces who understand their place.
A three-story cottage tilted at a 45-degree angle stabbed the frame of a 6-foot, peeling left.
"Florida surfers tend to be proud," says ESM Editor Matt Pruett. "It's not so often you have a guy from New Smyrna who doesn't claim New Smyrna, and the Jacksonville guys love being from North Florida; they have an interesting mix between city and country whereas the South Florida guys have more of a Latin influence and the guys from the Gulf Coast are really proud of being from there. It's interesting how different they might seem, but they've all got this in common: Florida surfers love being Florida surfers."
Which made me think they knew something I didn't. Loud voices don't necessarily pipe substantive messages; it's the quiet ones cloaked in grins I want to hear. After a dawn patrol session in sharky New Smyrna, Eric Geiselman confirmed what I suspected: "Everything you want as an East Coast surfer is here," said Geiselman. "I just don't want to tell anyone."
In a lot of ways, his claim demystified the flood of grins that poured along the beaches of the Sunshine State from Miami to St. Augustine. It's like they've all got a secret kept safely in their back pocket for a rainy day, a quiet confidence that doesn't require discussion to become any more real: they're happy to leave it at that.
Slinking off the sweat, breathing the neon effervescence and sabores cubanos of Miami as the shiny faces swirled, my smile blended into the sticky air too.
Yesterday a wave broke on Jesse Hines' truck while he was driving down to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.
"I decided to turn around at that point," said Hines.
Considering the Atlantic has swallowed nearly 20 houses in the Outer Banks in the last 10 years, it's safe to say you lose some agency when you cross the Oregon Inlet Bridge. So we waited in an interminable chain of four-wheel vehicles watching the Nor'easter surge and snack on fleeting infrastructure. In an ironic way it was comforting to feel small amid the carnage, and thunderous Cape Hatteras obligingly reminded us of our size.
The next morning, standing on freshly cracked sand north of Rodanthe Pier, I felt microscopic. I rubbed my eyes with my knuckles in disbelief, but the image stayed the same. A three-story cottage tilted at a 45-degree angle stabbed the frame of a 6-foot, peeling left. Clearly, powerful forces were at play.
Photographer Patrick Ruddy fished the intimidation from my head with three words: "You paddling out?"
I assured him that "at some point I would paddle out," but "I should probably get some footage" and "do some interviews." After all, I was there to unearth "the essence of fall in the Outer Banks" and coincidentally the region's best surfers were in town for a contest just a few streets away. It'd be negligent to avoid talking to them. Right?
There's a delicate balance between fury and fluidity in the water that comes with capricious storms like these, and although it left as quickly as it came, the Outer Banks hangs its hat on that mercurial brute force.
"I've surfed a lot of good waves around the world," says Jesse Hines. "I would rather surf here on a good day than anywhere—hands down. There's something about this peaky beachbreak that you just can't compare to anywhere else. It just gets perfect."
…And it was. As I returned to the dune where I'd admired the giant's apocalyptic masterpiece nine hours earlier, Shea Lopez stumbled across the sand, grimacing while he clutched his ear.
"I just blew my eardrum out," he grunted. "But you should get out there. It's perfect. Don't even check it—just go."

to Temporarily Idle Dodge Ram Production
Page: [1]
The highly anticipated all new 2009 Dodge Ram can't arrive soon enough.
With Dodge
Ram sales off by 2% in 2007, from 2006 volumes,
Dodge Ram 1500 and 2500 Standard and Quad Cab pickups are built at the St. Louis North Assembly Plant in Fenton. Dodge Ram 1500 Standard and Quad Cab pickups plus the Dodge Dakota and Mitsubishi Raider midsize pickups are built at the Warren Truck Assembly plant in Warren.
It's not clear if Dodge Dakota and Mitsubishi Raider production will also be halted, but that seems likely with the move placing Warren temporarily offline. The Dodge Dakota was recently freshened for the 2008 model year with new sheetmetal and an upgraded 4.7-liter V8. Dakota sales are off 33% in 2007 from 2006.
Chrysler will also idle its Saltillo Truck Assembly factory in Coahuila, Mexico for the first two weeks of the new year. Saltillo is the production site for the heavy duty Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, Dodge Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cabs, and Sterling Bullet Class 4/5 Chassis Cab.
Sterling, a subsidiary of Freightliner, announced in early November that since the popular Bullet Chassis has begun arriving at showrooms, all of its 2007 production has sold out.
General Motors is also expected to temporarily halt production of its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra for the first two weeks in January at its U.S. and Canadian plants.

Animation Vertigo Celebrates a Decade in Motion
Leading Motion Capture Company CEO Shares Top 10 Industry Changes From Throughout the Years
Since its founding, Animation Vertigo continues to provide unparalleled quality solutions to leaders in film, television and video games. The company continues to set the standard in motion capture outsourcing and consistently exceeds client expectations with timely, quality results. Leading video games such as Call of Duty®: Black Ops 1 and 2 by Activision® as well as Heavy Rain™ and Beyond: Two Souls™, bothfrom Quantic Dream™, areon its roster. Animation Vertigo and its production team have built a topnotch reputation in the industry as billion-dollar companies across the globe continue to seek out Animation Vertigo to fulfill their motion capture needs.
In celebration of a decade in motion, Rausch reflects on the major changes that the motion capture industry has seen over the years:
· 10 years ago, capturing multiple actors on stage at once was a difficult and complicated task, one that required a lot of work both on stage and off. Due to immense technological advances, today it's possible to capture up to 10 or more actors at one time with their markers still visible.
· Facial capture was also uncommon and not as utilized when Rausch first began Animation Vertigo. Now, there is a bigger capability for full performance capture (capturing both face and body motion at the same time) in all media forms including film, TV and games. Doing performance capture elevates the animation produced by motion capture and it continues to grow.
· Motion capture has become a familiar term for film and game lovers. Thanks to behind-the-scenes coverage and social media, a larger audience is more aware and appreciative of what it brings to films and games.
· For motion capture users, the sophistication of tools and usability has reduced the cost of doing motion capture and increased the volume of work that is currently being done. More development teams can utilize it and are going into the new arenas of gaming platforms.
· The industry of motion capture is now a global market. Animation Vertigo launched a global trend of outsourcing and made large multi-billion dollar companies comfortable with outsourcing. These companies now know that their intellectual property is protected and can be financially sustainable.
· 10 years ago, a vast majority of motions were in-game or navigational moves. In today's game world, storytelling is the main focus, which means over half of the work the Animation Vertigo team does is cinematic capture – full body, face and fingers – to help tell a story at a motion capture level.
· Motion capture teams work hand-in-hand with animators. There used to be an old argument that pit motion capture technicians against keyframe animators, but today, wonderfully skilled animators know when to use motion capture as a tool and resource.
· Software tools have become much more accessible, sophisticated and user-friendly. More people can utilize them and push technologies even further than before.
· The industry has become much more actor-driven. We see that nuances make a difference and now, actors are important to push the reality into the character. They are hired to portray major roles like actors Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe in Beyond: Two Souls. The technology now allows the actor to engage their craft as never before in motion capture.
· The motion capture industry is now much more supported, not just in courses and classes in motion capture animation but in acting and technicians. There is also a growing support of business including motion capture suits, markers and stages.
About Animation Vertigo

Podium Pushes Stevenson Motorsports Into IMSA Championship Lead at VIR

Podium Pushes Stevenson Motorsports Into IMSA Championship Lead at VIR
Stevenson Motorsports delivered a big performance on Saturday at Virginia International Raceway when Andrew Davis and Robin Liddell stormed through the field to not only score a runner-up finish, but also capture the championship lead for the team. Despite having scored 26 wins (17 Rolex Series & 9 Continental Tire) throughout the team's 12 year history, it marks the first time that the accomplished North Carolina-based squad has led the championship.
Davis and Liddell's No. 6 Camaro Z/28.R was forced to start from the rear of the field when IMSA deemed a non-compliant engine air restrictor but the team was undeterred and immediately set out for a charge through the field.
"These Stevenson Motorsports guys do such an awesome job coming from adversity," said Team Owner John Stevenson. "It doesn't matter where you start – it's where you finish. Mike Johnson does a great job – he had great calls on the pit box today. Andrew (Davis) and Robin (Liddell) both did a great job. The guys had awesome pit stops. That's what we were shooting for with getting the points lead. We're looking forward to the next two races and see if we can pull this championship off!"
Davis opened the race from 21st position and moved up an impressive five spots on the very first lap. He had worked his way into ninth when the Stevenson Motorsports group took advantage of the race's first and only caution 28 minutes in. The No. 6 Camaro Z/28.R took on tires and fuel and returned to the track 11th in line.
Once again Davis, who was tabbed to run a double-stint, maneuvered his way all the way up to lead the field with just one hour completed in the race. As positions swapped, Davis ran among the top-three throughout the remainder of his time behind the wheel and pitted from the third position with 52 minutes remaining.
Liddell took over to anchor the car to the finish and returned to the fray fourth. He steadily moved his way forward to take over second place. With 20 minutes remaining, a thrilling battle for the lead ensued as the No. 6 Stevenson Motorsports machine chased down the leading No. 07 car driven by Kris Wilson. Going side by side seemingly every lap, Liddell's veteran experience in the Camaro was on full display as he looked to take over the race lead and fought against lack of grip in the waning laps.
Just when it looked like Liddell might have the opportunity to make a pass, he was held up by two ST class machines. Despite catching back up to Wilson on the final lap, the No. 6 was unable to get cleanly by without jeopardizing the race effort, and the team took second place and the points lead at the checkered flag.
"It's amazing, I've been with this team since 2007 and our program really took off in 2008," said Team Manager Mike Johnson. "I don't know if anybody has had as many wins like that compared to us over that time, yet this is the first time we've had the points lead. So it's a pretty great day for us. We have two races to go and we have a handle on the No. 6 car. We had a small problem in tech – but that wasn't Stevenson Motorsports, it was a problem that happened at a shop far, far away. We're just clicking them off right after another now. Confidence is high going into these last two races. The No. 46 is still very strong and they're going to give everything they have as well."
Meanwhile, the brother No. 9 Camaro Z/28.R of Andy Lally and Matt Bell showed great promise in the early stages of the race until a minor mechanical issue saw the team fall several laps down.
Lally opened the race from fourth on the grid and wasted no time in moving forward. He took over the point by the second lap and remained there throughout the rest of his 45-minute stint. He pitted under green flag conditions and handed the car over to Bell who returned to the track 14th in line.
Unfortunately, smoke appeared from the rear of the car shortly into his stint and though not a big issue, IMSA called for the car to be repaired. Bell was forced to bring the No. 9 Camaro back to the garage where the Stevenson crew quickly went to work to repair a small shifter leak.
Bell returned to the track, but with laps lost, the team settled for a disappointing 16th place result.
"We really have the No. 6 car figured out, but no matter where we put the No. 9, we just keep running into problems," added Johnson. "None of it's major but it's not working out the way we want. Today it was just a slow leak from the shifter and all the guys had to do was tighten it but it wasn't dripping and it would have survived. But the series is trying to get green flag races, and they want to make sure nothing blows up."
Stevenson Motorsports now leads the championship by two points heading into the final two rounds of the year.
Stevenson Motorsports carries the championship lead to the penultimate IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge round at Circuit of the Americas on September 19-20.
Andrew Davis, No. 6 Camaro Z/28.R: "I had to be smart. I was opportunistic at first and picked one car off at a time. It steadied out for a while but I was able to keep pace. We decided to stay out on the early yellow and that brought me in a position where we were able to move up and ran first for quite a while. It was tough out there. It was hot. I wasn't expecting to do a double-stint and I used myself up because I didn't use a cool suit and ran out of water. That wasn't the plan - the plan was for Robin (Liddell) to have the cool suit and have a long run. But I'm glad I was able to remain in the top-three and bring the car in to Robin. He did a phenomenal job as always. Man, what a great day for points! I'm so glad and proud of the Stevenson Motorsports team."
Robin Liddell, No. 6 Camaro Z/28.R: "We were going for the win. We just didn't have enough rear grip coming off the slow stuff. Kris (Wilson) was fighting very hard at the end also with a lack of grip but he just had the edge on us out on the back straight. There were a couple of laps where I thought I could get a run but a couple of ST cars were fighting and blocked half the track so I had to just tuck in behind them. We were alongside into turns 13 and 14 a couple of laps prior but he drove a great race with no mistakes. We didn't have quite enough to get ahead. But we're very happy to get second and getting the points lead is a big bonus."
Andy Lally, No. 9 Camaro Z/28.R: "We had an incredible Camaro Z/28.R. We went from fourth to the lead in the first three laps and were able to open it up. I had a good, fun run. With these races, as uncomfortable as they are in the car in the heat, they are that much fun to drive when the tires are going off and everyone is slipping and sliding all over the place. It really brings a lot of driving and strategy into play. Ben Johnson (engineer) did an awesome job working with Matt (Bell) and I to get us a car that was going to be good over a stint. We had that. By lap three, you're managing tires and we were able to keep it under us."
Matt Bell, No. 9 Camaro Z/28.R: "It's a shame that we don't have the result that the team deserved today. It definitely doesn't reflect the hard work Stevenson Motorsports put in this weekend but that's how racing goes sometimes. It's tough to swallow because the car was very, very good and Andy (Lally) just did a great job of getting up to the front there at the beginning. But we did what we could today, and we'll just move on and turn the page forward to Circuit of the Americas."
