[In the wake of France] Here in the Netherlands, some schools have also reported receiving free copies of the book, The Atlas of Creation.
Evolution biologist Gerdien de Jong of the University of Utrecht received a copy of the Dutch translation of The Atlas of Creation, Part 1. The book . . . weighs around three kilograms . . . Several of her colleagues also received a copy. . . .
The book was written by Turkish author Harun Yahya. . . The atlas, which consists primarily of coloured plates . . . attempts to discredit Darwin"s theory of evolution. According to the author, this theory, which is taught at nearly all Western universities, is responsible for all the evil in the world, including international terrorism.
The Atlas of Creation claims to prove evolution never occurred. "People did not evolve from other species", the book says, "they were truly created".
Science journalist Arno van "t Hoog of Bionieuws, a news magazine for biologists, has also examined the book. He explains what author Harun Yahya"s theory is based on:
"This school of thought does not deny that the earth is millions of years old, but argues that animals and plants were once created and remained unchanged for millions of years thereafter".

Food Safety: Grocery Store Bagsby Toby Amidor in Food Safety, April 22, 2012
Many folks love their eco-friendly re-usable grocery bags. But when's the last time you washed them? A new survey found that only 15% of Americans regularly clean their totes, putting them at a higher risk for food poisoning.
The Issue
A recent survey conducted by the Home Food Safety Program found 85% of Americans aren't washing their re-usable grocery bags. Raw foods like meat, poultry and fish carry harmful bacteria which can linger in your totes waiting to board ready-to-eat foods like produce. The risk is even higher with the spring weather setting in as bacteria love to flourish at warm temperatures. Luckily, it's easy to keep you and your family safe from food bugs.
What You Can Do
- Wash those bags frequently in the washing machine (if they're cloth) or by hand with soap and hot water. Be sure they're dry before you tuck them away.
- Bags with a plastic coating can also be wiped down with antibacterial spray or wipes.
- To prevent cross-contamination from juices, place meat, poultry and fish in a separate plastic bag before placing in your re-usable bag.
- Wash your hands after unpacking grocery bags.
- Clean any areas that come in contact with your re-usable bag like the kitchen counter or table. This will help reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
- Don't leave bags in the trunk of your car. Instead, store them in a clean, dry place.
- Toss bags that are torn or ripped, especially the insulated ones.
Don't Forget About….
It's not only re-usable grocery bags that need a thorough cleaning. Water bottles and lunch boxes need to be cleaned regularly too. Lunch boxes should be cleaned after each use. Leftover food should be discarded, then use hot, soapy water and let air dry. To get rid of stinky odors, use baking powder or a touch of vinegar. To clean your re-usable water bottles, read the manufacturer's instructions – some can't go in the dishwasher and must be cleaned by hand.
TELL US: Do you wash your re-usable grocery bags?

Ford EcoBoost Demand Booms as Overall EV Sales Soften
Shane McGlaun

Sender E-mail
Consumers choose fuel efficient normal vehicles over EVs and hybrids
Despite the fact that gas prices are at record levels in many parts of the country, the sales of electric vehicles are still falling. Many consumers are staying away from electric vehicles due to the relatively high cost of entry and range anxiety (in the case of the Nissan Leaf).
Two of the most popular electric vehicles in the country are the
Chevrolet Volt
and the Nissan Leaf. The Volt isn't a traditional electric vehicle; rather it's an extended range hybrid that runs on battery power and features a generator to recharge the battery for extended driving. GM says that in the month of April 2012 1,462 Volts were sold, which represents 200% increase from April of 2011 when 493 were sold.
April was the second best month for retail sales of Volt cars since it launched in 2010. Interestingly, the good month for Volt sales comes not long after
GM suspended production
of the car due to soft demand.
Chevrolet Volt sales are up.
While sales of the Volt were up, the Nissan Leaf saw sales fall 35% with only 370 units sold. Nissan hopes to sell 20,000 Leaf EVs this year, and will have to sell over 2200 monthly to meet that goal.
While electric vehicle sales are down, Ford has a booming business with its fuel-efficient
EcoBoost-powered vehicles
. Ford has announced that it has started a third shift at the Cleveland plant that builds EcoBoost engines.
The addition of a third shift to the engine building plant will add 250 jobs. However, most of those positions will be filled by employees that are transferring from a different Cleveland engine plant that will be placed on idle later this week.
The 2013 Ford Fusion will offer two EcoBoost four-cylinder engine options.
"Our engine plant in Cleveland is the first and only facility in North America to produce EcoBoost engines, and we are tripling production capacity to meet customers' growing needs for fuel-efficient engines," said Ford Americas President Mark Fields during a celebration with employees at the plant Tuesday. "EcoBoost engines are a key part of our plan to give customers the power of choice — from EcoBoost-powered vehicles and hybrids, to plug-in hybrids and full electrics."
Ford's EcoBoost engine has found its way the under the hood of everything from
full-sized trucks
small economy vehicles
. EcoBoost engines use a smaller displacement engine with turbochargers for increased power and fuel efficiency.

I'd like Hurt to appear if Hulk is going to be the villain, but I don't think he'd be needed if Hulk joins up with the Avengers. I know Hulk being a good guy or bad was discussed but no idea if they've decided on it yet.
Mark Millar On Captain America and The Avengers!
Den Of Geek recently sat down to talk to Mark Millar about Kick-Ass and during the interview asked him to share his thoughts on how he feels about the upcoming Captain America and Avengers movies being based off his and Bryan Hitch's iconic run on The Ultimates.
And speaking of your other books, this isn't about Kick-Ass, but I need to ask: were you intentionally writing Ultimates as an Avengers movie pitch? And now that they're making that movie, how would you feel if that's how it was used?
Well, they've already admitted they're doing it that way. Joe Johnston has said publically, the Captain America movie is going to be the first issue of Ultimates, plus the origin story, and then the Avengers movie will be material from Ultimates #2-#13, and maybe Ultimates Volume 2. I'm not speaking out of school, they've publically said this. And I'm flattered by it.
Is War Machine in Avengers?
IGN Movies spoke with War Machine and Blade today -- well, actually Don Cheadle and Wesley Snipes -- about their new movie Brooklyn's Finest, and while we had their ears we just had to talk superheroes.
Specifically, the topic of The Avengers came up. Cheadle, of course, plays Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes, a.k.a. War Machine, in the upcoming Iron Man 2, and reports have indicated that he will reprise the role in the eventual Avengers team-up film. In fact, Marvel even said in its press release announcing the actor's casting in Iron Man 2 that he is also signed on for Avengers. Cheadle isn't so sure what that means, however...
We asked him directly if he'll be in the Marvel bonanza. "I don't know," responded the actor. "We'll see." He then added, "There isn't even a script yet."
So it would seem that all that talk about secondary characters like Black Widow and War Machine and Loki appearing in The Avengers may be just a bit premature, regardless of whether or not they're contractually attached.
War Machine would be cool, but I miss Blade.
It had never occurred to me that with all the Marvel movies being done and things like Avengers including Iron Man, Hulk, Cap, Thor, that Blade was being neglected. I'm not sure Snipes would be interested as apparently he wasn't too happy at Hannibal and Abigail Whistler getting more attention that Blade in Trinity, but I'm sure Mr. Taxman would be enough motivation for him to consider it.
That evil Mr. Taxman.
Avengers Screenplay Done
When we spoke to War Machine actor Don Cheadle a couple of weeks back, he told us that he didn't know if he was going to be in The Avengers movie or not -- and that in fact it didn't even have a script yet.
Well, that was then and this is now.
Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada has tweeted about the matter, confirming that screenwriter Zak Penn has just turned in his first draft for the film. Specifically, here's what he has to say: "Definition of 'goose bumps.' Pressing enter and watching a screenplay entitled "AVENGERS" come out of my printer."
Louis Leterrier On The Short List To Helm The Avengers
During an interview with Ain't It Cool News Louis Leterrier restated his desire to direct The Avengers for Marvel.
"I am on the shortlist, but I'm at the bottom of the shortlist, I'm sure. (Laughs) I don't know who the other guys are, but I have a great relationship with [Marvel], and I've been very vocal to them and everyone else that I am the one to direct it. I loved my time at Marvel. I loved those guys. They're fantastic. Kevin is such a passionate boss; he gets his hands dirty. It's a universe I want to keep exploring. I was frustrated with [THE INCREDIBLE HULK]. It was like, "That's it? Only one superhero? Can I do more???" We'll see. Time will tell."
When I just read "New Avengers Movie" all I could think was of Emma Peel and John Steed. I wouldn't mind if they would make a GOOD new film with those two but mack to MARVEL'S Avengers. I couldn't care less for Captain America. For me he was simply the Marvel answer to DCs boyscout aka Superman. Boooring. Thor might be more interesting but I am also looking more forward to the second Iron Man film and yes it might have something to do with RDJ ;-)
He's like fire, ice and rage. He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun.
He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and he can see the turn of the universe.
And he's wonderful.
Exclusive: Leterrier Talks Avengers
IGN Movies sat down with director Louis Leterrier over the weekend at the press day for his new film, Clash of the Titans, during which time we asked him about the buzz that he's a contender to direct The Avengers. Leterrier is no stranger to Marvel movies, having previously directed The Incredible Hulk for them in 2008. Here's what he had to say:
I honestly want Louis to direct Avengers, after doing Hulk and Clash I think he can do something as big as The Avengers.
After doing Hulk, I wouldn't want him to do it. It's like I have said before, Incredible Hulk just seemed like a dumbed down, actioned up version of Hulk (although to be fair, the Hulk ending was like WTF? with me) but I've seen some trailers for Clash of the Titans, it looks interesting and something I may end up seeing so I'm going to hold off judgement on him doing Avengers until I do catch Titans.
Yeah if Clash of the Titans is good then I will fully support him to direct, I really hope it isn't a CGI action fest. I though The Incredible Hulk was an excellent comic book adaptation, maybe my favorite. But as a movie it did have some flaws I suppose.
I, for one, hope it IS a CGI action-fest. Some comic book movies have the seriousness of The Dark Knight and it works well in a grim and gritty fashion. Others demand a high level of action; and some that demand said action and lack it to make room for 'characterization' end up like Superman Returns.
My concern is that, with all these big name actors in it demanding their time to shine, there won't be much room for the necessary action that follows having Thor and Iron Man et al in the same movie. Remember Halle Berry complaining about her 'lack' of screen time in the X-Movies?
This movie will have to be impressive in juggling the ego of each and every big name actor involved as well as keeping the action spectacular and, hopefully, frequent. I don't think it's impossible, but we'll see.
Yeah they are definitely going to have to find a delicate balance between all of the characters and the action/plot. This movie definitely has potential to be absolutely incredible, but it also has the potential of being a complete disaster. Let's hope for the former.
I just hope they get any other oscar winners in these movies, not worth the complaining.

IESB Exclusive: Leading Contender in Line to Direct THE AVENGERS... !!!NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!!!
THE AVENGERS will be the culmination of everything Marvel Entertainment has been working towards, bringing together their biggest and brightest superheroes on the big screen including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk.
Director Louis Leterrier has thrown his hat into the ring as wanting to bring Earth's mightiest heroes together under one tentpole but we are hearing it will not be his cross to bear. Leterrier mentioned a short list of directors recently that Marvel was looking at, he didn't know who else was on the list but IESB has found out one other member.
The same sources that spilled the beans to IESB about Spider-Man 4 being put on an indefinite hold back in December, have revealed that another leading contender on that short list to direct THE AVENGERS film is none other than Joss Whedon.
They may say that this aint a april fools, but we'll see!
The would be cool. Serenity was great so, I think he could pull off the Avengers if this turns out legit.
I would like Joss Whedon, but I'm going to wait and see if it is a joke or not.

Genesis to Poser .CR2 Competition
OK, let's get the ball rolling with a good old-fasioned competition! A Poser render competition featuring Genesis (anyone who doesn't want Genesis, or doesn't like it, doesn't have to enter)
1st Prize - Victoria 5 Pro Bundle and Michael 5 Pro Bundle
2nd Prize either the Victoria 5 Pro Bundle or the Michael 5 Pro Bundle
3rd Prize A DAZ Original Starter Bundle (I think they are all listed HERE but there are some extras that show up, so be sure it says "Starter Bundle" in the product title and is a DO)
Obviously, since you're interested in Genesis ANYWAY there's a possibility that you already have V5, M5, or indeed both and a slew of extras... so if you already own the listed prize you will be able to swap in any DAZ Original of the same or lesser value.
Entries must be posted to this thread.
Image must be 800x800 maximum to allow them to be posted to the forum. A larger version can be linked to, but the forum posting is what will be judged on. (I am VERY flexible on this)
Images must use (at least) one Genesis figure prominently in the scene.
Images must contain (at least) one figure/conformer which has been transferred to Poser using the CR2 exporter. My tut (http://www.daz3d.com/shop/genesis-to-poser-cr2) CAN be used as a reference to aid in doing this, but that is not mandatory. Nor is there any bar on exporting other figures as .OBJ files – but at least one should use the CR2 exporter. It can be Genesis or an item of clothing, or both.
Images MAY use any form of post-work, although when judging I (Cliff) personally will give kudos to renders without post-work (i.e. if there are two images that rank exactly the same but one is post-worked and one is not, the non-post-worked image will win out for me).
Judges' decisions are final, and since it's based on an appreciation of art may appear arbitrary. I will NOt be the only judge ;)
All images should be newly created, never seen anywhere before - though they can be posted elsewhere once you've shown at least a WIP here.
You may submit up to a maximum of 5 images, on the understanding that you may only win one prize. So for example, if you win first prize with one image, all your other images will be disqualified for 2nd and 3rd prizes. I think 5 should be more than enough, especially given the amount of time left until the competition closes.
Compettion closes 1st July at 23:59:59 Utah time.
It might be nice if DAZ could be granted the right to use any images submitted for publicity purposes, but would that be pushing things too far? (seeking forumite opinion here)
Every entrant should have a blast, enjoy trying to do something in the render that amuses them... whether it's the process or the result. It's the law, fun shall be had.

Wow, somehow this feels so not right, especially the part of granting Daz the right to use the entries for publicity.

Poor old Cliff - damned if you do, damned if you don't, although you would think that with the bitching and moaning here, and on other Poser forums you would think people would be happy that someone has stepped up and shown people how to get genesis into Poser, I mean it's not like Daz or SM with their huge amounts of money and people could be bothered now.Post edited by None on

Question: how long is that intro price? Blame the store for me not knowing ...
Well - I am using Foxit Reader ...
But I have to scratch some money together.
Not being able to use my PC coupon for half of the price is making things difficult.
But as I like DS AND Poser I would like to be able to use this doll in both ...
*goes hunting for pennies behind the couch*
And I think your tutorial is worth the full money, I am just not the wealthiest person.

The most interesting part for me is the clothing of Genesis. How are the expirience with the tutorial and clothing in Poser?
Miranas Art Posts: 55Cliff Bowman said:Mirana said:The most interesting part for me is the clothing of Genesis. How are the expirience with the tutorial and clothing in Poser?
I can't promise it will make all clothing and hair work easily - it won't. But of those I've tried, it's helped more than it hasn't except on the default Genesis shape
Thanks for your fast answer. But what about shapes like V4 (or is this a default?)?
It's so bad that this genesis sale ends today, so there is so much pressure on my decision :-(
One more question: does your tutorial deal with Generation4/Generation3 clothes on Genesis too?
Thank you!
Sounds logical - conform to Genesis in DS, save as dsf? in DS, run exporter.
*still searching for pennies, but things are looking good*

@pheonix that character looks like someone i know lol he doesn't wear glasses though
i would enter this contest, but i can't get cr2 exporter to work properly..i export and i can't get poser..or more importantly carrara to read the cr2
I wished I had the time to take part in the competition - but I never ever finish a picture in two weeks. That's ok, at least I can use Genesis in Poser now. :)

Longo's big hit pushes Rays' streak to eight
Price K's 10 while holding Red Sox to three runs over eight innings
ST. PETERSBURG -- One pitch. Evan Longoria fought off Junichi Tazawa's strikeout pitch, then the slugger came through for the Rays.
Longoria's three-run double in the seventh paved the way for a 6-4 Rays win over the Red Sox on Friday night at Tropicana Field.
"It felt good [to come through]," Longoria said. "It's one of those things, it's definitely nice to be reminded every once in a while you can still hit in those situations. So for me it was good. But more importantly for the team, we're fighting to get back into this thing.
"That team over there, I know they don't believe they're out of it either, so we have to take these opportunities when we get them to try and separate ourselves a little bit from them."
The Rays have won eight in a row to move to 50-53 -- the first time they have been three games under .500 since they were 15-18 on May 6. At the end of play on June 10, the Rays had lost 14 of 15 games to drop to a season-high 18 games under .500 at 24-42. Since then they are 26-11.
Tampa Bay trailed 3-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh when Andrew Miller took over for Red Sox starter Jon Lester.
"I felt good with [leaving the game with the lead]," Lester said.
After hitting the leadoff batter, Jose Molina, Miller struck out Logan Forsythe before Tazawa took over and walked the first batter he faced, Desmond Jennings. Cole Figueroa pinch-ran for Molina, then scored on Ben Zobrist's opposite-field single to tie the game at 3.
Brandon Guyer walked to load the bases for Longoria, who fell behind 0-2 to Tazawa, a pitcher he had a history of struggles against. Heading into the at-bat, Longoria had never gotten a hit against the right-hander and he'd struck out three times in eight at-bats. Longoria described the situation in which he found himself as "battle mode."
"[Tazawa is] tough," Longoria said. "And he's been tough against me, so it was really just trying to get something I could handle, and he'd thrown a breaking ball earlier in the count that was way out of the zone. And I didn't think that he was going to come back to that."
Once Longoria fought to even the count, he barely got a piece of a 2-2 fastball to stay alive. The slugger then slapped a double down the left-field line that emptied the bases to give the Rays a 6-3 lead.
"I thought he would stay with the split or something hard away," Longoria said. "So, I just had my foot down early and it was a breaking ball across the middle of the plate."
David Price continued his excellence Friday night with six strikeouts through four innings, a stretch that included a seven-pitch fourth, but it also included Shane Victorino's second home run of the season, a solo shot that put the Red Sox up 1-0.
Meanwhile, Lester posted four scoreless frames before Jennings hit a 2-0 pitch into the left-field stands for a two-run homer, giving him nine for the season and the Rays a 2-1 lead.
Given the verbal battles between Price and David Ortiz that have gone on this season, the slugger received plenty of boos throughout the game. Ortiz fought back with an RBI single off Price in the sixth and Victorino added an RBI single in the inning to put the Red Sox up 3-2.
Price has won six consecutive starts, a career high, and has worked eight innings in eight of his last nine starts. But he preferred to talk about the offense.
"That was a great job by [the offense]," Price said. "Lester, the way he's been throwing the ball. You give up three runs you kind of expect to lose."
Clearly, something special is suddenly happening for the Rays, leaving the team cautiously optimistic.
"We've won some games and we've done some things that kind of remind us of what we're capable of," Longoria said. "But by no means are we where we want to be. We definitely have to continue to keep ourselves in this thing and keep reminding ourselves on a daily basis that we have a lot of work to do."
Rays manager Joe Maddon added about his team's winning streak: "A little bit of the swagger is back. Confidence is definitely on the rise. ... In the dugout, we get behind, no big deal, we can come back. It's a really good feeling. It's the exact opposite of what we had been a couple of weeks ago. Really proud of the guys."

New Zealand can consider themselves moral victors after the first test draw against England. The world's eighth ranked team exceeded expectations by dominating more than they were dominated against by the second best team. The onus goes on them to sustain that form when the second ANZ test starts in Wellington on Thursday. New Zealand have won only one series in 17 against England at home; further such history can be made.

The Nov. 19 House of Delegates filled two open positions for at-large delegates and unanimously endorsed filing an amicus brief supporting the Real Estate Bar Association in a lawsuit over the practice of law. The meeting was held at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem.
HOD selected John J. Carroll Jr. and Alice B. Braunstein to fill open positions as at-large delegates from 13 candidates. In brief introductions, the candidates highlighted their qualifications and addressed their reasons for running.
Braunstein noted that she gave up the chance to repeat as an at-large delegate to serve on the MBA's Nominating Committee because she felt it was more important to help select future leaders of the MBA. She had previously served as an at-large delegate, a Region 9 delegate and served on the Executive Management Board and Civil Litigation Section Council. She said she was concerned about building the membership of the MBA.
Carroll, who was recently honored with the Massachusetts Bar Foundation's President's Award, praised HOD's role as the governing body of the MBA.
"This house is the conscience of the legal community," he said.
HOD unanimously voted in favor of filing an amicus curiae brief in support of the Real Estate Bar Association's lawsuit against an out-of-state company that provides closing services in real estate transactions. REBA President Paul F. Alphen said the lawsuit was filed to protect both consumers and the practice of law from groups looking to replace roles traditionally played by attorneys, such as real estate closings.
Alphen said such attempts by outside groups to supplant roles traditionally played by attorneys are popping up on several fronts. "It opens the door into what is the practice of law," he said.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Cbz40, Oct 23, 2006.
Uh, no.
So, trolls exist on your board too. Excellent. Thanks for informing me of the obvious.
But, wait a second...What you probably think is the greatest comment you've ever come up with still doesn't change the fact that you're still a troll.
my reaction...
ROmo comes in the game
Romo pulls worst Favre impersonation(s)
*sounds of balloons deflating*
Romo will be better with a week prep time.
Give Romo all the snaps this week. Let Romo start for the rest of the season. If he truly sucks, go draft a freaking QB.... That's the plan, get er done Billy.
You have to learn to crawl before you walk. And walk before you run. Romo will be fine.
12-7 I wouldn't have made the change. Thought Drew was finally getting comfortable although the pick in the red zone was horrific. I'm afraid that with Romo we will have some great plays, and many picks. Nothing consistent. I don't know what the best thing to do next week against Carolina is? The Panthers secondary can be thrown on. Minter reminds me of an older Williams. Can't cover, but will hit you after they catch a 18 yard post. No way any of Carolina's backers can cover Whitten.
If his INTs were cuz he had to throw into coverage, I would give him a break. But his ints (two of them) were STUPID mistakes. And he should of had another that was also a stupid pass.
how could you put the blame on Romo lmao, did you see this team as a whole?
sloppy as hell, its the last thing i expected from Parcells
2nd and who knows since they won't show it. NY gets 3 on 2nd down.
Romo is as good as Bledsoe is NOW
Que the Waaa-waaa-waaa-waaaaaaaaaaa sound effect.
3rd and 1 - HO p the gutt and our defense is just over matched as they get the 1st down easily.
$1,000 to a plug nickle Bledsoe starts at Carolina.
I really hope you weren't one of those who were blaming Bledsoe alone for the Philly and Jax losses.
clove, can you make me a big
sig? thanks in advance
with shiny lights and streamers?
Romo has a 73% QB rating, Bledsoe a 58% and Romo didn't have a chance to prepare.......I'll take my chances with the young kid
Parcells will surely make the media and fans wait til tomorrow before declaring his plans at QB.
Tiki has killed us over and over.
I think he's a great player. Now, I know how other teams felt when we had Emmitt.
I'm interested to see how we come out next game.
Will Carolina drill us?
Can we have an improbable win?
If we can win vs Carolina, then we have a shot......Maybe that can be the type of win that can catapult us....but I'm probably just being Pollyanna.

Students are now paying up to £9,000 a year in tuition fees. As such, Universities should anticipate their new intake of undergraduates to have much higher expectations about what they're getting from their studies. With more and more employers expecting their staff to be well versed in digital, there will naturally be increased demand from students for access to industry-standard technology that will help them get a job once they graduate.
To support institutions in meeting this demand, we've launched a new three year license agreement, the Eduserv Adobe ELA Framework Agreement. It means that both Further Education and Higher Education institutions will be able to provide access to Adobe's latest Creative Suite software across the whole campus for the first time. Plus staff get it too!
We're working with loads of leading institutions to help them deliver a strong digital offering. Here's what a few have to say about the Eduserv Adobe ELA Framework Agreement:
Kirk Laws-Chapman, Resources Manager, Norwich University College of the Arts:
"The new Eduserv Adobe ELA Framework Agreement has provided Norwich University College of the Arts with an affordable way to give our students access to latest industry standard software across the campus. Meeting expectations against a background of rising tuition fees is a challenge, and this is a great way for us to add value to the student experience here."
Phil Purves – Senior Lecturer, Bath Spa University:
"I'm confident that a lot of current and future students will benefit the new Eduserv Adobe ELA Framework Agreement. In addition to saving the University money, it is giving us software consistency everywhere with the latest CS6 suite available on whatever machine is capable of running it. All our creative areas have been keen to support this new agreement. It's going to make a huge difference."
Steve Harvey, Arts University College at Bournemouth:
"The Arts University College at Bournemouth (AUCB) feels extremely privileged to be signed up to the Eduserv Adobe ELA Framework Agreement. It enables us to offer more access to industry standard software at a good price, but also helps with the strategic development of software maintenance to align Education and Business application deployment."
For more information on how to sign up to the agreement, check outwww.eduserv.org.uk/ela. To be included in the next entry point in November 2012, institutions must complete all paperwork by 24th October.

HEARTFELT tributes have been paid to a 'wonderful gentleman of cricket' after he lost his brave four-year battle against cancer.
Stunned friends of former Nelson player and chairman Milton Lord say his death at the age of 62 leaves a massive void in the sport with grounds not seeming the same without his infectious smile.
Over his five decades involved in league cricket, Milton made countless friends and even though he was known primarily through his time at the Seedhill club, he was well liked by fans of clubs throughout Lancashire.
He played 139 first team games for Nelson between 1971 and 1991 but spent many years captaining the club's seconds and helped to turn promising young talent into established Lancashire League players.
Following his playing retirement, Milton became chairman of Nelson and was at the forefront of boosting the profile of both his club and of the Lancashire League itself.
Milton was also one of the leading lights in the campaign to get Pendle Council to honour legendary former Nelson professional Learie Constantine with a blue plaque on his old house two years ago.
Not even his devastating illness could stop Milton from being cheerful and chatty and he made new friends last season when he watched his son Tom - like his dad a left-arm spinner and hard-hitting batsman - playing for Ribblesdale League side Clitheroe.
He was immensely proud after Thomas won the Clitheroe batting, bowling and players' player of the year award last year.
"He was made to feel welcome down at Clitheroe," said Thomas. "He was such a good man who had time for everyone.
"We as a family adored him and thought he was wonderful and have been overwhelmed by the many inspiring tributes already received."
"Even though he had been unwell his death has come as a shock to us all and I think because he tried to carry on people perhaps didn't realise how ill he was and from the messages we have received we know it has shocked a lot of people."
The chairman of the Foster's Lancashire League, Mike Bibby, said Milton's death would be felt by all in cricket and he said: "I think I speak for everyone involved in league cricket when I say Milton was a wonderful gentleman of cricket.
"He was a wonderful guy, known and liked by everyone who met him."
Former Nelson and Colne star Danny Kegg said: "Milton was funny, friendly, honest, proud, loyal and a massive influence on me both cricket wise and personally."
Milton died peacefully on Sunday, with his wife Norma and children Sam, Sarah and Thomas by his side.

On Dec. 4, 1956, an amazing musical harmonic convergence occurred when four of the giants of early rock 'n' roll and rockabilly just happened to be in the same Memphis studio at the same time.
Carl Perkins, of "Blue Suede Shoes" fame, was in the Sun Records studio recording some new material. Accompanying him on piano was a young, energetic and still unknown Jerry Lee Lewis.
Johnny Cash, who'd had a recent hit on Sun with "I Walk the Line," dropped in to hear Perkins. So did a young former Sun recording artist who was by then a star on RCA Records: Elvis Presley.
As often happens when musicians get together around instruments and equipment, they held an impromptu jam session. Sun Records owner Sam Phillips left a tape running and recorded the session. Then he called a reporter from the Memphis Press-Scimitar and had him come to the studio with a photographer.
In the next day's paper, the headline for the story and accompanying photo of the four musicians read "Million Dollar Quartet."
Half-a-century later, that session would morph into a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical with the same title.
As part of the Broadway Across America series, "Million Dollar Quartet" is coming to the Mahalia Jackson Theater from Tuesday through April 21 for a run of eight shows, six in the evening and two Saturday and Sunday matinees. As popular entertainment is fond of doing, considerable artistic license is taken with the facts.
During their session, the four musical icons sang mostly gospel songs and country standards, and few or none of their own records. (Lewis was still a year away from his own recording debut.)
But rather than let boring facts stand in the way, the writers and production team for the musical saw an opportunity to showcase these Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers' greatest hits, nearly 20 of them spanning the mid- to late '50s rock 'n' roll era.
"We took actual events that happened that night, plus 18 months of other actual events and put them into one night to give some dramatic tension," said the show's director, Eric Schaeffer. "But all the events were true, and they happened. In some sense we make it more theatrical but, as entertainment, it works."
The show is billed as "an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations." The songs are an eclectic mix of the legendary singers' rock, gospel, R&B and country hits. Some of the better-known numbers include "Blue Suede Shoes," "Sixteen Tons," "Great Balls of Fire," "Matchbox," "Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Hound Dog."
Two of the gospel songs in the show actually were sung during that impromptu session, "Down by the Riverside" and "Peace in the Valley." Some of what Lewis said on tape about the four "playing the devil's music" is repeated by his character in the show.
And there's some authentic sibling joking between the bass player at the session, Perkins' brother Jay, and Perkins.
Two songs, "Fever" and "I Hear you Knockin' " are sung by a woman given the pseudonym "Dyanne." According to Schaeffer, she is a prototype for a Las Vegas showgirl named Marilyn Evans, Elvis' girlfriend who was present at the session but didn't sing.
In the uncropped version of the original Million Dollar Quartet photo, she is seen perched on the piano.
The cast includes James Barry (Perkins), David Elkins (Cash), Ben Goddard (Lewis) and Cody Slaughter (Elvis).
Vince Nappo plays Phillips. Also featured are Kelly Lamont as Dyanne, and musicians Billy Shaffer (Fluke, drums) and Corey Kaiser (Jay Perkins, bass). Rounding out the company are Katie Barton, Austin Cook, Scott Moreau, John Michael Presney, David Sonneborn and Billy Woodward.
"The audience is going to be rocked and up on their feet dancing," Schaeffer promised.

PONTIAC - A former Pontiac City councilman pleaded guilty in federal court in Detroit Tuesday to accepting bribes, United States Attorney Barbara L. McQuade announced.
WATCH: Former Pontiac council member charged with bribery, conspiracy
According to court documents, beginning in May 2008, 61-year-old Everett Seay met repeatedly with a "J.B.," a person who purported to be a drug dealer from Chicago, who was seeking the assistance of members of the Pontiac City Council to obtain a "regulated use" ordinance to open a business to buy and sell gold for the purpose of laundering drug proceeds. Unknown to Seay, "J.B." was actually an FBI agent acting in an undercover capacity. During several meetings, Seay solicited and accepted bribe payments from J.B. Between July and December, 2008, Seay received $10,800 in bribe payments from "J.B." United States Attorney Barbara L. McQuade said, "Public officials who accept bribes do not belong in office. We hope that our efforts to prosecute corrupt public officials will cause deter candidates from seeking office for personal gain."
The criminal charges against Everett Seay carry a statutory maximum penalty of ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentencing has been set for June 26.
Also charged, in a separate information, were Richard Clanagan, 69, formerly of Pontiac (a friend, associate and political advisor of Everett Seay), and Roscoe Johnson, 45, of Detroit (also a friend and associate of Seay's).

INSPIRATIONAL sailor Natasha Lambert arrived in Portland after completing the second leg of an amazing 430-mile challenge.
The 17-year-old, who has cerebral palsy and no use of her hands, is sailing around the south west coast using only her mouth to operate a specially-designed yacht.
The 21-ft pink and black vessel, Miss Isle, is kitted out with a 'sip and puff mechanism' mounted inside a cycling helmet, designed and developed by her electrician dad Gary.
Natasha, who is being accompanied on the yacht by her family and her coach Phil Devereux, was welcomed to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy yesterday by sailors from Chesil Sailability, a group which provides opportunities for disabled people.
Watch the video
After sailing the coast from England to Wales, Natasha will swap her yacht for a special walking aid to climb the highest peak in southern Britain – Pen y Fan in the Breacon Beacons.
Natasha, who lives on the Isle of Wight, departed from her first stop at Poole yesterday and is now about 60 miles into the epic journey.
The teenager, who is tackling the challenge to raise money for the RNLI, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and the Royal Yachting Association Foundation, will eventually sail 430-miles and climb 2,907ft during the challenge.
"I'm really enjoying it, but I want to go faster," said Natasha.
"I'm looking forward to getting to the mountain and I already have an idea for the next one."
Liz De Iongh, co-ordinator at Chesil Sailability said: "It's really inspiring to see Natasha doing this challenge and showing everyone what she can do."
Natasha's dad, Gary, said: "It's going very well so far.
"I think the only problem we've had really is the heat.
"It feels good to have two legs of the journey under our belt and it will be easier as it becomes more familiar.
"I think the plan for this evening is to get Natasha on the walker, go for a walk, get some food and then off to bed. And then we will see if we're ready to sail on to Exmouth tomorrow."
Her proud mum, Amanda, said: "To see Tash out there enjoying her sailing is what this whole challenge is about.
"It will be fantastic to stand on top of that mountain, look around and think how far Natasha's actually come, both on this journey but through her life as well."

Newborn Circumcision: The Gomco Method
Newborn Circumcision: The Gomco Method
|Gomco clamps (sizes 1.1, 1.3, and 1.4)
|Restraint board
|Pacifier and sugar water (eg, 25% sucrose)
|1% Lidocaine without epinephrine
|Sterile skin marker
|3 clamps (also known as hemostats, mosquito clamps, or Kelly clamps), at least one of which should be straight
|Blunt probe
|Safety pin
|Petroleum gauze strip
|Absorbable fibrillar hemostat
|Other necessary disposable supplies (such as gloves, gauze, syringe, needle)
Circumcision may be the oldest known surgical procedure. For the past 100 years, it has consistently been the most frequently performed surgery in the world.1 The procedure is performed on almost all males in the Jewish and Muslim communities. The World Health Organization estimates that 30% of males worldwide are circumcised; the majority are Muslims.2 In the United States, the prevalence of newborn circumcision peaked at 80% in the 1960s but had declined to 65% (or 1.2 million procedures annually) by 1999.1 Circumcision is less common in other developed countries, where it is often viewed as unnecessary. Many types of physicians perform circumcisions, including obstetricians, pediatricians, family physicians, and surgeons.
Several techniques for performing circumcisions are in general use. In this article, I focus on Gomco circumcision, since this is the method most commonly used in the United States. ("Gomco" stands for Goldstein Medical Company, the original manufacturer of the clamp used in this method.) The Mogen technique is quicker and is the method of choice of some physicians and of mohels (Jewish persons specially trained to perform ritual circumcision). The Plastibell method has largely fallen out of favor because of an increased risk of infection associated with foreign-body retention.3
Although circumcision is commonly thought to have originated with Abraham (the patriarch of the Israelites) some 4000 years ago, Egyptian wall carvings that date back at least 6000 years depict the procedure.1 Interestingly, when Europeans first made contact with the New World, they discovered that many American Indians were circumcised.
In addition to the religious reasons for circumcision, foreskins have been removed as trophies of battle, for hygienic reasons, as a milder form of castration, for cultural identity, and as a rite of passage.1 In the late 1800s, circumcision was touted as a means of freeing up the glans from a constricting foreskin that led to irritation of "other organs." Masturbation, headaches, gout, and a laundry list of other problems were thought to be preventable through circumcision. These theories were debunked in the 1900s, when cultural or cosmetic rationales for circumcision again became the norm. In recent years, new evidence has been emerging on the medical benefits of the procedure. Circumcision has been associated with a decreased risk of urinary tract infections; balanitis; phimosis; penile cancer; and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV infection.1,3-5

Kia Sedona Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Kia Sedona based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Reprogramming the transmission control module with the latest Kia transmission software may fix abnormalities in the automatic transmission and erroneous transmission-related Check Engine Light illumination. Software updates are commonly most effective on newer vehicles. Higher mileage vehicles may exhibit a similar symptom caused by a component failure. However, whenever major transmission repairs are performed the transmission software should be checked and updated as necessary.
If the engine is excessively noisy on startup (after the engine has been off for several hours) and the noise lasts more than four or five seconds, turn off the engine and check for correct engine oil level. If the oil level is correct, the noise may be caused by the timing chain tensioner. Kia released an updated timing chain tensioner to solve this problem.
The Kia Sedona is well known for presenting issues to the operator when trying to start the engine. This is especially true for vehicles with the Kia smart key.
An issue with the factory vehicle immobilizer control module can cause the vehicle to think it is being stolen. This will immediately disallow the vehicle from starting.
Many times, the key is the issue, and vehicles with keyless go or push-to-start technology may function properly if the key is inserted (check owners manual for the location of the port).
The newest version of the smart key can be used to press the start button, which will allow the vehicle to register the key when the battery is low.
If these quick tips do not allow the vehicle to start, or the vehicle does not use a smart key, diagnostics will need to be performed by a factory authorized Kia service enter.
A defective AC compressor clutch assembly can cause excessive noise or vibration when the air conditioning is on. Improved parts are available. Replacing the faulty clutch assembly does not necessitate replacement of the complete AC compressor or evacuation and recharging of the air conditioning system.
In warm weather, the power sliding door switch may get stuck in the open position. Kia has an improved switch to correct this problem.
After the vehicle has been operated with electrical loads (lights, air conditioning), a weak alternator can cause starting difficulties. In some cases, the original alternator could not sufficiently charge the battery; Kia released a new alternator which can correct this concern.
The navigation unit in the Kia Sedona may suddenly stop playing audio from all speakers. This includes sound from CD players, radio, navigation, satellite radio, and telephone calls. All other features may still function properly.
This fault requires no parts replacement, and is a software glitch that can be rectified by a 'hard reset'.
To perform the hard reset, simply disconnect the vehicles negative battery terminal, wait 15 minutes, and reconnect the negative battery terminal.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with the code stored signifying the engine is not reaching normal operating temperature. If no fault is found with the components of the cooling system, a simple reprogramming of the powertrain computer will commonly correct this problem.
If the stereo/CD player refuses to load, eject, or play CDs, remove the power supply (fuse) to the stereo for twenty seconds to reset the stereo's internal memory.
In cold, wet climates, the driver and passenger door handles may stick, jam, or not return to their rest position; improved handle release cables are available to correct this issue.
Make sure the transmission is filled with Kia-approved transmission fluid and at the correct level. Our technicians tell using incorrect transmission fluid or operating the transmission when it is low on fluid can result in internal transmission damage.
An engine misfire may develop due to a failed ignition coil. Our technicians tell us one coil is used for each cylinder. If one fails, often times another is not far behind. It may be worth considering replacing all the coils if a failure is encountered.

For the third consecutive year, a survey conducted for Forbes Magazine has ranked Emory & Henry College professors among the top 25 faculties in the nation.
Emory & Henry professors ranked No. 20 nationwide in the survey, which was conducted for Forbes by The Center for College Affordability and Productivity. The Center crunched the figures from RateMyProfessors.com, which maintains the Internet's largest collection of college professor rankings.
"This ranking reinforces what we have long known about Emory and Henry professors; they are among the best in the nation." said Dirk Moore, spokesperson for the College. "That notion has been supported for many years by the remarkable success of our students and a long list of state and national recognitions for our professors."
Over the last 25 years, Emory & Henry professors have won 14 state and national awards for teaching excellence. Those awards include seven honors from the Carnegie Foundation, which has honored Emory & Henry more than any other college or university in Virginia for teaching excellence.
Topping the list of best professors was Oklahoma Wesleyan University. The list includes several other nationally ranked liberal arts colleges and universities, including Wellesley College in Massachusetts (No. 7), Sarah Lawrence College in New York (No. 22), Sewanee – University of the South in Tennessee (No. 19), and Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania (No. 9).
CBS News Money Watch, which featured the rankings on its website, noted that the ranking was dominated by liberal arts institutions. "That isn't surprising because colleges focus on undergraduate education and routinely offer instruction in small classes that allow students to get to know their professors and find mentors," according to Money Watch.
The value of E&H teaching also was affirmed recently in one of the nation's best-selling college guidebooks, Colleges that Change Lives, which listed Emory & Henry among the top 40 institutions in the nation that transform students' lives.
"Virginia has no shortage of familiar schools with robust reputations. But Emory & Henry, in the colorful hills of the state's southwest corner, does the finest job of them all of producing contributors to society," according to Hilary Masell Oswald, author of the revised 2013-14 edition of Colleges that Change Lives.

Clinton: The Comeback Kid, SBS One, 9.35pm
It's fairly apt that the nickname given to former US president Bill Clinton, ''the comeback kid'', is usually applied to sportspeople and media celebrities. As we see here, Clinton had the latter's ability to polish his image no matter what the crisis - watch how he deals with the aftermath of an appalling speech at a Democrat convention - and the former's knack for formulating a game plan. This recent, workmanlike biography is a thumbnail portrait of Clinton and his wife and political partner, Hillary Rodham, kicking off with their student days, his governorship of Arkansas and ascent to the presidency following the 1992 election. Unsurprisingly, it makes hay of Clinton's numerous extramarital affairs, but despite the rigour of the account, it uncritically assumes the puritanical position that Clinton's ''problems with women'' represent a character defect.
A Jubilee Tribute to the Queen by the Prince of Wales, ABC1, 8.30pm
FEW of us spent summer holidays sailing around the coast of Scotland on royal yacht Britannia or can reminisce about the day mum checked in on us in the bath wearing a diamond-encrusted crown on her head. As His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales shares his personal memories of Queen Elizabeth II, we are simultaneously treated to rare glimpses into the private world of the Queen, Prince Philip and their family and a nostalgic trip back in time to a childhood that is not entirely different to the one we commoners preserve in our faded photo albums and home movies. Easy though it may be to mock this uncritical tribute as an exercise in hagiography, it's an evocative portrait of her 60-year reign that also reveals much about the esteem in which she is held, even by those who have few reasons to do so.
America in Primetime: Man of the House, SBS One, 8.30pm
THE typical dad of a 1950s TV show was the master of his domain. His authority was absolute. His role was to make the home - and, by extension, the world - a safe place. He knew best. In his footsteps came Archie Bunker, the tragicomic blowhard whose throwback values and bigotry were already out of step with a world that had moved on without him. But what if father didn't know best, was ambivalent and uncertain, asks Ed Zwick, explaining the basis of the landmark 1980s drama he co-created, thirtysomething. Twenty years later, all those stereotypes would be blown out of the water with the arrival of Mob boss Tony Soprano, Breaking Bad's Walter White, tortured adman Don Draper and Modern Family's odd-couple Mitch and Cameron. The starting point of this rewarding four-part documentary, which originally aired on the US's PBS network, is to re-examine old and new TV shows through the prism of the archetype of the TV father. Other episodes explore independent women, misfits and crusaders. The approach is smart and the film clips are imaginatively integrated, while insightful commentary is provided by the creators, writers and stars of the shows under examination, among them David Chase (The Sopranos), Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad), Matthew Weiner (Mad Men) and Carl Reiner (The Dick Van Dyke Show).
Artscape: The Making of The Reef, ABC1, 10pm
EARLIER this year Richard Tognetti, artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, took a group of musicians, surfers and filmmakers to Western Australia to create the music and film piece The Reef. The work was intended to challenge elitist perceptions of the opera, fuse classical and indigenous music and capture the natural beauty of the Australian sea and desert. On the basis of what we see in this behind-the-scenes account of The Reef's creation, he and his collaborators have succeeded in redefining the creative process.

POTTSTOWN — Although he's the new borough manager, you can't exactly call Mark Flanders new to borough hall.
After all, he's been a borough employee for 33 years.
In November, Flanders, 55, began a new chapter in the book of his service to Pottstown, the chapter that has him basically in charge of everything.
Until April, when his retirement becomes official, he remains Pottstown's police chief.
At the same time, he is also Pottstown's new borough manager — new since Nov. 13.
He will do both jobs for $120,000.
Praising him for his intimate knowledge of the operations and personnel at borough hall, borough council unanimously picked him to replace Jason Bobst, who left the post in August, after three years in which, Flanders said, the borough was put back on a sound financial footing.
Beginning the year with a budget that does not raise taxes — a feat Flanders attributes to Bobst and Finance Director Janice Lee — is a nice way to start a career as a borough administrator, Flanders acknowledges.
Asked if a repeat is in the works for 2014, Flanders smiled his tight-smile and said there are no guarantees "but we will strive" to reach that goal, he said.
"I'd like to see another budget like that, sure," Flanders said.
Among the primary goals Flanders said he has for the coming year and beyond are those of establishing an esprit de corps among the employees, built on a core value system that emphasizes communication and customer service.
"I want to be able to identify when we are doing the job well and expand on that, and to be able to identify where we can do a better job," he said during an interview last month in his new office.
One of the ways in which he would like to see the borough become more customer friendly is in places where the public — bill payers, taxpayers, contractors and developers — interact directly with the borough staff.
Flanders calls it "process simplification" and "an improved model of customer relations."
"One of the mantras I've lived by is everybody should be treated the way I would want my mother, my father, my sister, my brother, my wife, my children to be treated," Flanders said. "If I'm not treating others that way, then I shouldn't be interacting with them, I should be doing something else."
It is only when that is the general public's experience, repeated multiple times, in its dealings with the borough that perceptions about the borough will change, Flanders said.
"You want the community to be able to trust, that in the end, they're going to get quality service, no matter what. They're going to get treated fairly. And it's that trust relationship, that comes from that repititious, continuous, doing it right every time" that Flanders hopes to build.
Part of that may happen via "social media," Flanders said.
Already the borough is in the midst of a redesign of its web site, and Flanders said he hopes to soon communicate with residents and taxpayers via Twitter and Facebook accounts.
"We don't do a good job of telling our story and getting customer feedback and this will help," he said.
For example, Flanders said, many people do not realize the huge impact, and huge potential, of recent successes in attracting new businesses to the borough — places like Sly Fox Brewery in the Circle of Progress and VideoRay on High Street.
"Those things are huge, huge," Flanders said.
Also huge, Flanders said, is the impact and responsibilities of maintaining and operating the vast water and sewer treatment.
"There's a big learning curve for me on operations," Flanders said. "Fortunately, the background I had before I got into law enforcement was Sanders and Thomas (engineering firm) gave me a leg up in terms of understanding processes, being able to understand a drawing, look at it and say 'OK, I get it,'" Flanders said.
"I had limited knowledge of what the authority brought to the table and I had no idea until I got my hands dirty on it how huge that operations is," Flanders said.
The manner in which the authority is now slowly increasing rates to set aside money to pay for planned capital projects — $8 million over the next five years — without borrowing money is an example the borough should follow as well, Flanders said.
Despite some good financial news in the borough hall re-financing through a capital loan that will pay for a new borough garage, Flanders said he would like to see the borough do more of the kind of advance planning that the authority has undertaken.
"The authority is a good example of short- and long-range planning," he said. "You walk into the authority, you look at the plans, you know what projects are coming forward to improve that operation."
He added, "take that capital plan, and flip it around and do the same thing for goal planning, and that's the concept — constantly update, constantly move forward. Attain a goal, move on to the next goal," something he would like the borough to begin doing as it plans for the 2014 budget, "to the point where you can look five, 10 years down the road. That's where I'd like to be."
Not surprisingly, Flanders has a few personal goals as well as those for the borough, and one of them is to spend the next 10 years where he is now.
"It's up to the will of council. It's up to me to do a good job, the right job, and we'll see where it goes," he said. "But I'm in it for the long haul."

PHOTOGRAPHERS across Worcestershire are being invited to enter an annual photography competition to raise funds for wildlife.
Worcestershire Wildlife Trust is looking for photographs that reflect the diversity of the countryside and wildlife and the winners will feature in the charity's 2014 calendar.
The competition is normally open only for photographs taken on one of the trust's 70-plus nature reserves, but this year the trust is looking for images of wildlife and wild places across the whole county.
Wendy Carter, from the trust, said: "We're so lucky to live in such a beautiful county with some wonderful species of wildlife and while our nature reserves are great for wildlife, we realise that most people enjoy watching wildlife in their gardens, villages and local parks.
"Wherever people watch wildlife, we would encourage them to have a camera handy to make sure they capture the action."

ChronoReverse - Wednesday, June 02, 2004 - link@#5
And if you really wanted to use two molexes, it comes with the handy dandy convertor just for you. Reply
XRaider - Wednesday, June 02, 2004 - link#3 It almost looks like a sound connector if I'm not mistaken. ??? Dang... the old STB Nitro had one or 2 of those on it to go to the sound card. (Old Gateway pc) Ehhh... :\ Reply
Pumpkinierre - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkAt least you redeemed Doctor M's honor but I still prefer 2 molex's rather than an adapter or new psu.
kodiak81 - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkGiven the fact the board is a sample its probably a debugging addon of some sort. Reply
UlricT - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkHave you guys figured out what the connector on the top of the board is? Reply
Icewind - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkAhhh, thank god for that update. I was absolutely going insane wanting to know what was up with with this connector. Very suprising to see ATI's PCI express version using this as well.
Looks like the PSU specc is gonna change for PCI express after all. Sigh....more money to spend this summer. Reply
Dennis Travis - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkThanks so much for the update Anand. It seems like the 6 pin power connector will be used on all PCI Express cards.
Thanks so much.

Hello currently trying to get Tkinter to call an event with two parameters.
The first is the parent widget and the second is a date_data instance within a list.
The following is my main file cal.py.
Note that the container to store date_data objects is on lines 15 and 19.
It is meant to be global.
You'll note that it calls messageWindow(parent, day) on line 60
From the file day_form.py
Here is the 3rd file: day_data.py
The problem here is that it always refers to the last day_data in the global list (uses variable r for index).
To observe the behavior, simply download all 3 files, and run cal.py.
When you click on a day take a look at the title bar of the edit window.
So my lambda function is always getting the last value the index had "r" after all iterations.
I need each button to call the right index instead of the last value r was.

Subjects taught at LSE | Services and divisions (administration)
All research groups | Research subject areas
Visiting research student (VRS) status at LSE allows research students at other universities to spend up to one academic session at the School at the discretion of the department concerned. A supervisor is assigned to every VRS, and you can take up to four full unit taught courses. Examinations are optional, and grades do not contribute towards a degree or diploma. A full transcript of studies can be produced at the end of the period of study. Other graduate students may also seek registration as a VRS to take graduate level courses without the commitment of registering for a degree programme.
Registration as a visiting research student in the European Institute is for those who do not wish to proceed to a higher degree, but want to pursue their own research with a supervisor who can support them in this research. Visiting research students can also be research and doctoral students registered at overseas universities wishing to undertake some aspect of their research in the UK. Certain seminars and classes can be attended subject to the advice and approval of the supervisor and teachers concerned.
The application procedure is to apply for the MPhil/PhD (as detailed in the Graduate Prospectus) but to use the application code for visiting status - M1EU - Visiting Research Student in the European Institute. You should provide, as part of your application, a written proposal of no more than 1500 words, which gives details of your proposed research question(s), the relevant literature and previous research in the field, planned research methods and theoretical/conceptual framework to be adopted. This will enable us to make an informed decision about your proposal and is equally important to establish if there are appropriate supervisors for your planned research (you will normally be allocated two supervisors). Staff cannot be expected to provide feedback on proposals and students should submit a proposal that fully covers the elements required.

Burn Restrictions
Ordinances & Regulations
Today's Burn & No-Burn Status
Note: We issue burn restrictions from Oct. 1 through Feb. 28/29.
Call (505) 768-BURN or (505) 768-2876 to hear a recorded message about today's status. The message is updated daily at 11 a.m., and is applicable for 24 hours through 11 a.m. the following day.
Why Burning is Regulated
What is regulated?
If you live in Bernalillo County, you must check today's status before you burn using any of the following items:
- Wood-burning stove (EPA-certified stoves are exempt)
- Fireplace
- Open burns, campfires, bonfires
Why is This Important?
Keep your family healthy and Albuquerque clean by watching for no-burn days. Burn restrictions were developed to help reduce the output of carbon monoxide and elements which contribute to the formation of ozone.
How Do we Decide?
Factors such as current pollutant levels, daily weather patterns, air movement, and temperature levels are all taken into consideration daily before a no-burn call is made.
Get an EPA-certified wood-burning stove or heater.
List of EPA Certified Wood Stoves
"Just 20 old non-EPA-certified wood stoves can emit more than 1 ton of fine particles into your area during the cold months of the year."
There are some exemptions to burn restrictions for Bernalillo County. If any of the following apply, you may burn during a "No Burn" period.
- Use of an EPA-certified wood stove or fireplace.
- If the woodburning device is the sole source of heat or fuel for cooking
- Medical necessity of a woodburning device
- Low income status
- Emergency situations such as the failure of a residence's primary heating system
Proof of Exemption
If you believe you qualify for an exemption you may download or print the following documents.
For more information, all (505) 768-1972 or email [email protected].
Details of Burn Regulations
During a declared no-burn period, residential woodburning devices are not allowed to operate within Bernalillo County except for EPA-certified wood burning devices.
The restrictions on burning in your fireplace or wood stove run from Oct. 1 through Feb. 28/29. There is an applicable burn-down period for fires that were started the morning the no-burn call was made. The burn-down period provides 3 hours (until 2 p.m.) for any existing fires to burn out. March 1 through Sept. 30 you may burn in the fireplace or wood stove at your convenience, as long as there is not excessive smoke.
It is not illegal to use a solid fuel heating device or fireplace for heating or ambiance, as long as it is an "okay to burn" day, the fuel being used is correct for that type of heating device, and wood used for heating is both dry and seasoned. However, persons using fireplaces or wood stoves must comply with the requirements of Code Enforcement (which includes stack height specifications), and, when operating, the solid fuel device or fireplace must not exceed a 30 percent capacity rating as required by regulation.

BENCHED for Australia, Mitchell Starc will obviously also miss out on bowling a four-over burst for the Sydney Sixers on Boxing Day as Ricky Ponting threatens to boot the defending champions out of finals contention in his SCG farewell.
Ponting, 38, hit 63 from 45 balls to lead Hobart Hurricanes to a 30-run win over Sydney Thunder on Sunday and is likely to play his final match at the SCG, where he is the all-time leading Test scorer with 1480 runs and six hundreds at an average of 67, on Wednesday.
The Sixers will be keen to spoil the former Test captain's last hurrah at the ground, having lost three games on the trot, and been told they cannot have Starc, a key figure in their Twenty20 Champions League triumph in South Africa. Starc has been rested from the Boxing Day Test against Sri Lanka.
''I don't like the system but that's what we've got to live with,'' Sixers general manager Stuart Clark said.
Clark was highly critical of Cricket Australia's practices in managing Test squad members and the T20 Big Bash League. He was particularly incredulous at the withdrawal of Usman Khawaja from a Thunder game in Sydney last week, after the batsman, picked in the Australian squad as injury cover for Michael Clarke, was instead sent to Brisbane to train.

I'm the second person in my family to attend Grove City College — my older brother came here and absolutely loved it. I like the fact that it's a small Christian school, but it's big enough at the same time. One of my favorite parts of campus is the buildings — I think they're beautiful. I also like having my friends near me – it's so nice to just go down the hall and see them anytime.
More than anything else, Grove City College is about community. Everyone is really nice and that makes it easy to put yourself out there, get involved and meet new people. I'm excited to spend four years here.

Henryk, 58, eats his meal at the Camillian Mission shelter for homeless people in Warsaw where he has lived for five years. Food Bank SOS distributes food, including produce that would have otherwise gone to waste, to charities such as the Camillian Mission. Cutting the amount of food that goes to waste is the theme of this year's World Environment Day on Wednesday. The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates that about a third of all the food produced for human consumption worldwide every year is wasted.

A special meeting to give communities an opportunity to hear the latest proposals on relocating thousands of Army families to the Salisbury Plain area is being held in Tidworth later this month.
The Ministry of Defence's (MOD) estate management organisation – Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), has put together a Masterplan which details proposals for delivering the additional infrastructure required by 2019.
The DIO has worked with Wiltshire Council and partners to try to ensure the right level of facilities and services, including healthcare and education provision, are in place in time for the relocation of service personnel and their families.
Tomorrow there will be a special meeting, hosted by Tidworth Area Board, at the Tidworth Garrison Theatre, where the DIO will present the plans and answer questions, alongside representatives from the Army and Wiltshire Council.
Leader of Wiltshire Council Jane Scott said: "This meeting is the latest step in ensuring our communities are kept fully informed about developments so we are ready for the changes ahead.
"Our partnership working with the DIO and Army has been key in all of this work and we will continue to engage with communities to ensure that we have the services in place for the whole community so that Army families feel welcome and we maximise the economic opportunities that the rebasing brings."
The meeting will start at 7pm and will include a presentation on the Masterplan including the changes resulting from the public consultation.
People can view the Masterplan document at www.gov.uk/dio and at Tidworth and Ludgershall, Amesbury until 17 June.
The Masterplan details proposals for delivering the additional infrastructure required by the Army in the Salisbury Plain area which will include up to 1,300 new homes for service families, new accommodation blocks for single soldiers; construction and conversion of other buildings, such as garages, armouries, offices and mess facilities; and future plans on the training estate.

OVIEDO, Fla. - Three cars were crumpled at an Oviedo apartment complex after a suspected drunken driver lost control of his vehicle, which launched into the air and crashed into them.
The crash happened around 2 a.m. Thursday at the Barrington Place Apartments on Aloma Avenue at Dean Road.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the 20-year-old driver was traveling down Dean Road when he lost control of his car. The vehicle slammed into three other vehicles, causing major damage to them.
The car that went airborne sustained major front-end damage.
According to troopers, the driver said one of the cars he struck had cut him off. Troopers said, however, that all the cars were parked at the time of the crash.
The driver and his passenger were wearing seat belts and no one was injured in the crash.
The driver failed a field sobriety test and was arrested.
