An important pillar of Manti Te'o's story with regards to the hoax of the century is that he found out Lennay Kekua wasn't dead during ESPN's College Football Awards show. Here's the quote from Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick's press conference Wednesday night that alludes to when Te'o first found out about what was happening. "On the morning of December 26th, very early morning, Manti called his coaches to inform them that, while he was in attendance at the ESPN awards show in Orlando, he received a phone call from a number he recognized as having been that he associated with Lennay Kekua. When he answered it, it was a person whose voice sounded like the same voice he had talked to, who told him that she was, in fact, not dead. Manti was very unnerved by that, as you might imagine. I will let him again talk about that and his reaction to it. But he maintained that secret vis a vis the members of the football family until he called the coaches on the morning of the 26th. They promptly reached out to me to inform me of this shocking piece of news, and I arranged to meet Manti upon his return to campus and did so on the afternoon of the 27th." That awards show in Orlando took place December 6th. Two days later, Te'o was in New York City for the Heisman Trophy presentation, also televised on ESPN, on December 8th. That night, Te'o was interviewed on stage during the hour long show by Chris Fowler. In a transcript from that Heisman interview, it reveals Te'o voluntarily talking about his girlfriend passing away after he supposedly found out about the hoax. Chris Fowler: There were a lot of cameras around you this year, there was so much public sharing of very private moments, which shared moment will you never forget above the others? Manti Te'o: I think I'll never forget the time when I found out that, you know, my girlfriend passed away and the first person to run to my aid was my defensive coordinator, Coach [Bob] Diaco, and you know he said something very profound to me, he said 'this is where your faith is tested.' Right after that, I ran into the players' lounge and I got on the phone with my parents – and I opened my eyes and my head coach was sitting right there. And so, you know, there are a hundred-plus people on our team and the defensive coordinator and our head coach took time to just go get one [of those players]. You know I think that was the most meaningful to me. While not an earth shattering development, it shows Te'o willing to forward the story of his girlfriend's passing to a national television audience after he apparently discovered it wasn't true. There's other evidence of Te'o answering reporters' questions about his girlfriend's death, but in generalities. This quote from the Heisman ceremony is the first time I've seen Te'o address it specifically after December 6th. If Te'o was indeed called December 6th and informed of the hoax, if he was speaking with the person he believed to be Lennay Kekua for a period of time between December 6th and December 26th as has been told by Notre Dame, why would he go on television December 8th and voluntarily talk about how emotional it was finding out about his girlfriend's death? Swarbrick says Te'o was "unnerved" by the phone call on December 6th. And yet, he was still drawing attention to the story of Lennay Kekua on the night of the Heisman Trophy presentation December 8th in a live interview on ESPN. It's just another inconsistency that must be addressed as the details of this hoax continue to unravel.

DALLAS, Texas -- When you start a journey like this you have no idea how long it's going to last. You could be one-and-done or on the road for two weeks. So it's easy to run out of clothes.
I've done a wash but the real issue here is T-shirts. I didn't pack enough. Not even close. So the other day I went to downtown Dallas to look for one.
Dallas is weird. There is almost no shopping downtown. It's all office buildings. But I found one place. It had a bunch of silly Texas T-shirts. I passed.
I found the area where the sports T-shirts were. Almost all of them were Cowboys T-shirts. Now, I don't like the Cowboys. Always rooted against them. But I grabbed one anyway. What choice did I have?
As I was walking out, I found a Texas Rangers T-shirt. OK, I don't have any feelings either way about the Rangers. So I was saved from buying a Cowboys T-shirt. But just before I checked out, I saw a hideous Baylor T-shirt. Hey, I'm a college guy and I have no problems with Baylor. So that is the T-shirt I'll be wearing home Monday.

Good contribution Peter. Hope you don't mind if I add my 2 cents.
A number of folks have recently confirmed that MC is in the neighborhood of V9. Some still argue for V10. Small pebbles continue to dislodge from the underbelly of the boulder.
A few years back, Rob Candelaria did MC from LOW sit-start starting with both hands underneath the bulge. Rob called it V10/11 and projected it for a long time. According to John Stack, he never did the LOW start. There is also the higher start that more people are trying which begins LH on the slopey gaston & RH in the shallow pocket (this eliminates the crux first move).
One thing is for sure, this is one of the safest lines on Amphitheater's Left Side. A pad (and maybe a spotter) is all you need. Most of the rest of the lines, regardless of their grade, will have you crying for your mommy and Paulie's Big Bertha.

Hey Matt ... yeah like a lot of Flag afficianados I've got a broken hold on my mantel.
Anyway, the history, banter and grade-mongering on MC is about as bad as it gets on Flag. We've certainly done little to clear it up. Looks like we should agree that MC is somewhere between V8 and V11 depending on what holds you start on. Pick some holds and have fun.
Mongolian BBQ huh? Sounds like a low start from those edges around the corner to the right up underneath the lip up into Pat Ament's High Overhang topout. I did High Overhang once and hope to never be anywhere near that topout again - disturbing at best. Thanks for the beta.

|OK, Mongolian Cosmonaut esoterica revealed. Don't bother to read on if you don't revel in curious drivel and mind-numbing obscurity. I've seen Skip do the problem a few times. He started it right hand in the pocket and left underneath the bulge. The hard move being the left hand going to the _sloping thing with the finger divot_ (Samet) alternatively referred to as the _left-hand sloping gaston_ (Phillips). This start made sense because the FA was done in the b.p. era (before pad). Sitting on the ground (not on a pad), it is not possible (for most) to start left hand on the _sloping thing with the finger divot_. This new soft V8 start must be the result of stacked pads. IMHO - MC (in it's original sequence) is now V9 and getting harder as the right hand pocket-edge keeps deteriorating. There used to be a little bit more of a cutter edge in the pocket (little crystals keep breaking away). The reality is that the left hand isn't doing much in the original start. Getting that move is all about doing a one-arm pull on the right hand, popping to the sloper/divot with the left and resetting on it as you crank for the slopey pebble.

|BTW - somewhere in the mid 90's I did an sds to Ament's High Overhang problem that Samet refers to above and called it Mongolian BBQ. The landing is scary but it is possible to spot. The scariest part is probably being the spotter as you stand a good chance of being knocked of the top of the block in the event of a fall. I cannot recall much about the difficulty but it could not have been more than V3 or V4 considering the time spent on it (an hour or so).

|Has anyone climbed the M.C. in the past 8 months? It seems that the last of the doable feet have broken off. It seems way harder now than a year and a half ago.

|Lowball Flag choss classic -- gotta love it. To answer question about recent attempts: feet seem fine and good as of tonight (big right pebble for right toe and big left pebble for left, with a slight back step twisting the right hip up). Friction was good, and a friend and I put some laps in on the version where you start left up on the sloping thing with the finger divot. Soft for 8 for sure. Perhaps more like 7. Conditions dependent, of course. Tried from the sit w/ left down on scrungly pebble cluster pinch and found it quite hard. Prolly 9 or so. So, my superspray 2 cents based on about an hour and a half of dicking around: 7+ from the high start, 9 from the low. God knows what from the lowlow.

|I updated the grade to the current consensus. I think V9 is appropriate at this point.

|Having just repeated this problem after many many tries, I would propose a low V10 grade as a plausible option, especially if it's warmer than 60 degrees out, however ridiculous that may sound. The left sloper gets very slippery to hold and move off of so that even if the first move goes well, you can fall higher on the "easy" climbing. Visit my blog mountainsandwater.blogspot.com... for video of the problem.

Matt, I would like to think most of your Qs about MC can be answered here:
When you get there, use the miniguide for Amphitheater - Frontside to sort out the three versions of MC.

Lanham NapierChief Executive OfficerRackspaceWednesday, April 9, 200810:30 AM – 11:15 AMShell Auditorium, McNair Hall Download Flyer (PDF) Building the Rack Lanham Napier joined Rackspace as CFO in April 2000, a few short months before the technology industry hit rock bottom during the 2000 downturn. He is largely credited by Rackspace's management team in keeping the company steady and setting it on its current path to profitability and success. In January 2001, Lanham was named president of the company, working side-by-side with former Rackspace CEO Graham Weston and establishing an operational discipline that set Rackspace on a permanent positive revenue track. In 2006, he was named CEO, further underscoring his key role at the company. Immediately after joining Rackspace, Napier recognized that customer service was at the very core of Rackspace's business and helped introduce the 'fanatical customer support' culture for which Rackspace is known today. His efforts went into instilling a deep concern and interest in the customer at every level of the company, rewarding positive behavior and quarterly growth, as well as customer acquisition and retention. As a result, Rackspace is regularly cited locally and nationally as one of 'the best places to work.' During his tenure, Lanham has seen the company grow from a single data center with less than 100 employees to more than 2,000 in eight facilities located in Texas, Washington, D.C, and London. Prior to coming to Rackspace, he served as a director for Silver Brands Partners, a San Antonio investment firm and worked as an analyst for Merrill Lynch & Co. from 1993 to 1995. Lanham has a B.A. in Economics from Rice University and an MBA from Harvard University.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/12/2012 (1705 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Maybe it's the magic of Christmas, maybe it's absence making the heart grow fonder, or maybe I've just spiked my eggnog with too much rum, but today I'm going to say something I never expected to say.
There's no pointing beating around the bush, so I'll just blurt it out -- Creepy Santa, please come home!
By way of background, Creepy Santa is a three-foot-tall plush Santa doll I have immortalized in several groundbreaking holiday columns in recent years.
He was nicknamed Creepy Santa by my daughter because his pale plastic face has a malevolent, open-mouthed glare, like one of those icky inflatable dolls you find on the Internet. To me, he's the spitting image of former Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich, only more lifelike.
Normally at this time of year, Creepy Santa is parked on our porch to scare away carollers and neighbourhood kids who want to shovel our driveway, but last Christmas he vanished, spirited away by kidnappers.
As you can imagine, we were devastated. I am, of course, lying. The truth is, we didn't even know he was missing until, about a week later, a mysterious brown envelope appeared in our mailbox. Inside was a photograph of the little dude sporting a tiny Winnipeg Jets T-shirt. There was also a slip of paper bearing this grisly holiday message: "GO JETS GO!"
My initial reaction was fear -- fear that Creepy Santa's kidnappers would discover how creepy he is and decide to return him. But that's not what happened. Every month since he vanished, we have received a fresh, brown envelope containing a photo and a menacing note detailing the activities he's endured during this ordeal.
For instance, the kidnappers have sent us photographic evidence of our scowling stuffed Santa at the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in London, dressed like a swarthy sea dog to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day, and even floating in the giant inflatable pool in our backyard during this summer's heat wave.
A little more than a month ago, the envelope held a gruesome picture of the rosy-cheeked galoot being tortured by a shadowy figure wearing a mask, a blood-spattered apron and wielding a chainsaw. The attached note asked: "Could this be the end? (No wonder I hate Halloween!)"
And this week, along with the usual Christmas cards, what I suspect may be the last mystery envelope showed up at our door. It yielded a photo of our Creepy Claus perched on the knee of a real-life shopping mall Santa, who was only marginally less creepy.
"Well," the note taped to the photo snickered, "that was awkward!"
The crazy thing is, we are truly starting to miss his creepy little plastic face. We realize now, for better or worse, this holiday horror is a part of our family.
Without him around, it's been painfully quiet at our house this festive season. The only thing we have that passes for a holiday tradition involves my wife and kids hiding Creepy Santa in random locations, then waiting, gleefully, for their hapless victim to stumble on him and scream in holiday horror.
Even my daughter is in mourning, which I know because Thursday we had the following heart-to-heart conversation:
My daughter (sighing): "I miss (sniff) Creepy Santa."
Me: "Um, why?"
My daughter (rolling her eyes): "Duh! Because he's creepy!"
My wife, She Who Must Not Be Named, wants him back, too. I recall the time, a few years ago, she decided to plop him in the passenger seat of her car and take him for a ride when she drove to the mall to pick up our daughter.
En route, she was pulled over by the police. An officer strode briskly over to the car and motioned for her to roll down the window.
"Hello, officer," my wife spluttered.
"You know, ma'am," the officer said, courteously, "your passenger really should be buckled up."
In all this time, the kidnapper or kidnappers have never sent us a ransom note, so we don't have a clue who took Creepy Santa, or why. Naturally, we have accused all of our friends, who deny having anything to do with it. But the point is, they look guilty, which is good enough for me.
So, please, Creepy Santa, if you can hear me, it's time to come home. Christmas just isn't the same without you. I'm praying that very soon I'll hear a familiar, joyful noise rising into the air at our house. I'm talking about the shrieks of terror my wife makes when the kids hide you in our (bad word) shower.

It might. A number of laboratory and animal studies suggest that mangosteen has significant anti-inflammatory effects. And a few small-scale studies in humans indicate that the juice helps reduce blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP is a substance associated with inflammation, which may be caused by widespread infection or disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
But the studies that found this reduction in CRP were not conducted with people who have arthritis. And not everybody who has arthritis has elevated CRP. So at this point, while the data appears promising, it's too early to say what role mangosteen juice has in treating arthritis symptoms.
Mangosteen is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. Despite its name, mangosteen is not related to the mango. The mangosteen fruit is the size and shape of a tangerine, with a thick, dark rind and creamy flesh. Mangosteen is marketed as a supplement, both as a juice and in capsule form.

"2 weddings within 6 months-whew! Ordered Rehearsal Dinner invitations for both from WPD and both orders, although different, were absolutely beautiful. The invitations were simple to customize and arrived ahead of schedule."
"This invitation has a lovely, formal look on high quality card stock paper with elegant type fonts! It is small, but, feels good in your hand and worked well for us. Envelopes provided are also of great quality. Always check measurements given and be aware that the body print of this invitation is in very small type--9-10 point. I will order from this company again!"
"I was able to easily customize with the help of Garrett, one of the designers. He responded very promptly and made the changes i requested immediately. I chose to make these purple and was also able to add Eggplant ink to a few choice lines. They cards arrived much sooner than promised and are beautiful. Thank you!"
"I absolutely love the everything about it. There is nothing like these designs online! Their website is easy to navigate and it is extremely hard to choose from all the amazing invitations. I loved this when I saw it online and it was only affirmed by loving it when I received them in the mail. LOVE IT!"
"We ordered the cranberry colored paisley design for our co-ed baby shower. It matches well with our raspberry and cream color scheme. This print is chic and stylish. This was my first time ordering from this company. It is fast and efficient. I really appreciated being able to edit and approve my final design online. There's no way to go wrong ordering invitations from this website."

inighthawki - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkShouldn't it read Unreal Engine supports Flash 11? That is, "The unreal engine has Flash 11 support." It really confused me when I read the title. Reply
formulav8 - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linksame here Reply
Lifted - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkthis Reply
B3an - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkIt was kind of correct first time.
Flash 11 now supports DirectX and OpenGL using the new Stage 3D API, so any game that uses either DX or OpenGL, which is literally every single major game and game engine, can now run inside Flash. So technically it's Flash that supports UE3 already, and Epic are simply making use of it. Reply
inighthawki - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkNot true, it just means that any game can now utilize Dx/OpenGL in Flash. Games still have to be completely rewritten in actionscript, meaning that flash does not support games, games support flash, and flash supports directx/opengl. Reply
Matthew Fabb - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkNope, games don't need to be rewritten in Flash. Adobe has a tool called Alchemy that converts C++ code into ActionScript byte code. This is how Epic Games converted the Unreal Engine 3. If they wrote any ActionScript for their port, it was very little, perhaps a loader or something to deal with assets, the rest was just C++. Reply
inighthawki - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkI didn't really necessarily mean they had to be rewritten by hand, just that the code had to be converted to a format that flash can handle. It still means that it's the game that supports flash, not flash that supports the game. Reply
CityZen - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkErrrr ... any chance of HTML5 supporting the Unreal Engine 3?
Just when we were about to get rid of Flash for good, they come up with this Reply
inighthawki - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkScrew html5. Working with html and javascript is a nightmare vs a normal computing language (actionscript). Granted actionscript is pretty terrible in comparison to many other languages like C/C++, C#, java, it is WAY better than trying to use javascript. Reply
Visual - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkLOL, they are exactly the same language. Reply
Murst - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkNo, they're not. ActionScript is a superset of JavaScript. Reply
inighthawki - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkIt's not even close. Some of the syntax may have been heavily borrowed by javascript and java, but AS3 is a very VERY different language than javascript. Reply
deV14nt - Thursday, October 13, 2011 - linkBoth ActionScript and Javascript are dialects of EMCAScript, the standard upon which they are all based... Reply
B3an - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkHTML5 is a HIGHLY overrated joke.
Spivonious - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkOnce JS supports going directly to D3D/OpenGL, then we'll see this kind of stuff in pure HTML/JS. I'm confused as to why JS is looked down upon. It's a perfectly good general purpose language. JS interpreters are getting faster and faster every day. Reply
Penti - Monday, October 10, 2011 - linkEcmascript in browsers use virtual machines and JIT just like Adobe's Flash Player. Both WebGL and Stage API is low-level APIs. It's no more or less then AS and AS VM's is. Same technology and can have same performance, it's just packed differently. You can even use the same virtual machines in both the browser and flash player if your really wanted. Games are written for game engines so there is no problem developing games for either platform. Gamecode will be written in C/C++, Lua etc. Nobody in their right mind would write an AS-based game engine with only that platform to target. You compile to AS or AS bytecode, you get better performance by using another language to compile to bytecode then AS3's compiler actually or you compile to JS, it's not much different at all. API's and code will not be done in AS or JS. Not for pure games. That will just be a very small occurrence. AVM och JS VM will just be a layer under all that. You don't write games from scratch in either environments, you always need tools to do so which are not based on either platform. Reply
Matthew Fabb - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - link"Errrr ... any chance of HTML5 supporting the Unreal Engine 3?"
I doubt this going to happen for a couple of reasons:
1) Epic Games would have to rewrite the Unreal Engine 3, which would be hugely intensive task. Note Adobe has a tool that converts C++ code into ActionScript byte code called Alchemy. I don't know of any such tool for JavaScript.
2) While you can decompile a Flash file (SWF) there are a number of methods of hiding the code and making it difficult to get at the source. However, for a JavaScript library, anyone could grab the source code and use it in their project avoiding Epic Games' licensing and costs.
3) Microsoft has said they won't support WebGL ( the HTML5 3D engine) on IE9 or IE10 because of security risks in giving browsers access to the GPU. This is because GPU drivers are build for speed not security in mind and Microsoft says this opens up a huge security hole. Adobe specifically wrote it's 3D engine with a number of security issues in mind that are not present in WebGL.
4) Even if Microsoft supports WebGL in IE10, HTML5 is still moving very slowly, especially with WebGL. It's estimated that by the end of the year 80% of desktop computers will have Flash Player 11, while it would take many years before that WebGL gets that kind of reach on desktop computers. (I keep saying desktop computers, because these kind of games are not expected to play on mobile and when doing something 3D on mobile you are generally looking at an app than in the browser). Reply
Penti - Monday, October 10, 2011 - linkSure you can compile C/C++ to JS, JS in turn gets compiled to native code by the JIT-engine in the browser. You can do it a few different ways one way that Quake choose was to port the C to Java, port to GWT and compile to Java to Javacript. But yes there is C/C++ converters/compilers too. You could also compile to Java bytecode and compile that to JS if you like to run through hoops.
You have Emscripten LLVM to Javascript compiler as one early project and route. And others. But that's an interesting platform to build on, competent too.
Emscripten and LLVM route seems to be in a pretty good state and it's technically no worse then a LLVM to AS that Alchemy does. You might still need to rewrite and write a new renderer for both though when porting. Emscripten does support OpenGL to WebGL conversion though. Still not magic though. But the technology is the same gamecode will either be AS/bytecode or JS running on a VM with JIT in both cases. It's not that different, performance can be similar. But games might as well port to NaCl. Native client through chrome frame or such will be available for other browsers. Just stop bullshitting, the difference is only negligible, no magic on either side of the tech. You can't use decompiled code to avoid licensing you simply cannot build games with it. Ecmascript isn't perfect but you can either compile other languages to it, or use extensions and frameworks to enhance it, just as you have to with AS. It's not as simply as to write to pure AS or JS when you need to do something that takes more then a few lines of code. Obviously JS is vastly preferred over Flash in web development that has other quirks. Won't go away because of nonsensical criticism. Neither do you have to suffer with pure JS neither does anybody. If you like to write code differently you can. AS doesn't take you away from that issue. Reply
freezer - Tuesday, October 11, 2011 - link"Obviously JS is vastly preferred over Flash in web development that has other quirks."
Really? And web browsers didn't have their "quirks"?
If you have been in the web development for a long time you'd know that nothing is more frustrating than to fight different web browsers different behauviour. To produce advanced content for web is very cumbersome because of this IF compatibility has to be mantained. The web browsers were full of quirks all the time so your point is not valid. Standards are not good if they're not good and not followed.
The most important favouring Flash for producing multimedia content is that Flash API is designed for multimedia and runs relatively constant between different platforms. Its graphics rendering is much faster than with JS/CSS3. Try to render thousands of self animating particles with JS and you'll see. It offers much more features for creating graphics and animation effects. And Stage3D really opens pandora's box for gpu accelerated 2D and 3D content in Flash.
Flash also supports H.264 streaming and web casting which are very very important features. And it offers also easy tools for designers to produce animation content for web without digging too much into coding. This is something that should not be overlooked. Reply
Penti - Wednesday, October 12, 2011 - linkIt is, but Flash is too. You don't see major web sites created in Flash for a good reason. It's not some magical superior media platform to begin with. It's architecture has hindered development in the video streaming field. Content creation tools are content creation tools. You can use the same animation tool and export for HTML5 if you like. Games will be developed in game engine tools regardless if you target mobile devices, flash or something like NaCl. Safari, IE9, mobile browsers, Chrome with Microsofts extension all supports streaming a unprotected MP4 just fine. Flash player content protection mechanism can be bypassed just fine for that matter and holds no real value. Tools are pretty much separate from target. There simply isn't something like a Flash API or a JS API you work directly against when writing apps at high-level framework and tools, it's really just packed differently and needs different third party libraries and tools to work. Not that it doesn't have merit but the things people talk about isn't coded at the low-level directly on top of the platform by web developers. Stage3D is just a low-level API in of it self. No more capable then WebGL. Stage3D just means a new shading language.
However neither WebGL or Flash 11 means users have drivers to utilize the 3D features. (Or run them accelerated). It's not as simple as it will reach every user out there. You simply wont be doing these kind of things without middleware and content creation tools either way. And there really so no fight to be had, the future obviously isn't single platform or single target. None of them are magical. Reply
ph0masta - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkI'd prefer to play demos on OnLive. Then I don't have to download anything. Reply
phatboye - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkCan someone please tell me why would anyone want to play a UE3 based FPS game in a web browser environment as opposed to playing a version that was compiled specifically for the OS that the game is running on? I can understand using flash to make relatively simple games like angry birds, but if you are using UE3 chances are that is not the type of game the developer is creating. Reply
Aikouka - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkI don't know about an end-user, but from a developer's standpoint... as long as the operating system supports a full implementation of Flash 11, it will run the game.
"One 'executable' to rule them all." Reply
Lifted - Wednesday, October 05, 2011 - linkI don't think the point was to play a 2GB modern FPS game, but perhaps a slimmed down, quick to produce (think iPad game) for the PC. I doubt demos will be out on this, but smaller full games with awesome graphics. Reply
Spivonious - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkThe Unreal Engine is used by countless games, not just bleeding-edge shooters. As long as the game size can be kept reasonable (<10MB), then I can see this taking off.
What I'd love to see is more browsers support running native C/C++ code. Then we really will see gaming in the browser take off. Reply
docbones - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkGot no idea why companies want to add more instability by running their games in a browser.
Tried the BF 3 demo the other day and after about 5 minutes uninstalled it. I dont want a game in a browser, I want a game thats full screen and I can adjust the resolution on it. Reply
bupkus - Thursday, October 06, 2011 - linkDoes this mean that games will now port to linux thru flash for linux?
Of course GPUs still need drivers for linux. Reply

Africentric Girls Win Another State Title
COLUMBUS, Ohio
Sierra Harley had 14 points off the bench and Alexa Hart set the tone with six blocked shots in the first seven minutes to lead Columbus Africentric to a 49-37 victory over Versailles on Saturday night in the Division III state championship. The title was the fourth for the eighth-ranked Nubians (27-2), who lost in the title game last year after winning it all in 2012. Alexis Parks added 12 points. The imposing presence of the 6-foot-2 Hart, a first-team Associated Press All-Ohioan, helped Africentric grab an early double-digit lead. After Hart left with foul trouble, the Nubians were content to patiently work for baskets while continuing with their high-pressure defense. Christa Puthoff and Emily Harman each had nine points for ninth-ranked Versailles (24-4). (Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

As David S. Cohen writes in Variety, "Last week must have been surreal for Douglas Trumbull. On the one hand, he was showered with accolades — the George Melies Award from the Visual Effects Society, honoring his pioneering vfx work; and the Sawyer Award, an Oscar statuette, from the Academy for his work across a wide range of technological and creative fronts — but while he was being feted by the industry's movers and shakers, he's still seeking financial backing for those innovations.
Working on a stage on his property in Massachusetts, Trumbull is combining high frame rates and 3D on the production side with advanced projection tech and curved screens that get brightness up to 30 foot Lamberts — more than a full stop above the current standard of 14 foot Lamberts for standard 2D projection, and several stops above the typical brightness at multiplexes for 3D.
"No one in the industry has seen a 3D movie at 30 foot Lamberts at 120 frames per second," he said. "What happens when you get into this hyper-real realm of a movie, that seems to be a window onto reality, is that the entire cinematic language begins to change." He wants to make a movie using Hypercinema and move away from the master shots, two-shots, over-the-shoulder shots and close-ups we've all seen thousands of times, to create "an experience of tremendous participation in an alternate world, which I think people will crave and are ready to pay for."

Snyder says Michigan will see all of the benefits of a new bridge without the costs. Snyder signed the deal he first talked about as soon as he took over as governor.

Read: Official agreement between Michigan, Canada
The governor has slammed the Ambassador Bridge as the No. 1 traffic bottleneck in the entire Pan-American freeway system. He is offering a new, more efficient bridge which he believes greatly advances Metro Detroit's appeal as a transportation hub.

It will be called the New International Trade Crossing, owned and operated by a private entity called The Crossing Authority. It is a public/private partnership expected to last between 40 and 50 years. The length of the partnership depends on how long it will take Canada to get its money back.

"It's time for a new crossing. It's time because trade demands it. It's an opportunity to create jobs and we can work on something exciting," Snyder said at the conference.

He thanked the government of Canada for its support and funding.
"This is more than a traditional partnership. The government of Canada is being kind enough, thoughtful and generous enough to advance the funds to do the Michigan portion of this project," Snyder said.

The span itself will connect Interstate 75 in the Delray neighborhood of Detroit to Highway 401 in Canada without forcing trucks to wind through residential neighborhoods in both countries.

Construction estimates project a cost just shy of $1 billion. The Canadian government is offering up just more than $1/2 billion.
Canada will pay all land acquisition costs on both sides of the border. Once the bridge is built, all tolls get collected on the Canadian side.

"The volume of trade over just that one bridge is greater than the trade between the United States and Great Britain," Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said during the Friday news conference.

In a press release, Gov. Snyder said his project is "protecting the state from shouldering the project's cost" and it "prepares southeastern Michigan to become a global transportation hub when coupled with the region's other resources."

Detroit bridge construction to create jobs
One of the upsides to the new bridge is the creation of 10,000 jobs for construction, Snyder said.
How many jobs will come to the U.S. side of the bridge is still up in the air. The contract does require there to be special set asides for what they are calling community benefit plans.

-- The Detroit International Bridge Company, which owns the Ambassador Bridge, has fiercely contested a new bridge. The company has battled Snyder's effort since he became governor, warning Michigan taxpayers that they will have to pay despite Snyder's assurance they won't.

Marathon Maniac #957
Good Morning!
6 (feels like -13) degrees here, so I gave up some running time to drive DS to school so he wouldn't have to freeze at the bus stop. DD doesn't get that privilege, since I leave for work before her bus comes, but at least I knw she's smart enough to dress warm, unlike my teenaged son.
4.5 miles on the TM.
Happy Friday!
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Good morning Holly and everyone to follow, I am just trying to catch up as it has been quite hectic both at work & at home the last few days.
My wife lost one of her aunt's who passed away at the wonderful age of 98 this week. She was quite with it right up until the end and was the last of my late father-in-law's 6 sisters to pass. There are now only two brothers left out of the 7 boys in his family, (yes he was one of13). So we'll be busy with the visiting hours this evening and funeral services tomorrow.
Jay I hope that the acupuncture helps what ails you.
Tramps – I too have BTDT, and wish I had read your post before my run Wednesday afternoon, DOH!
Ribs – what a great tribute to what truly appears to have been a good running friend to all. (I love reading your Blog), and glad you are feeling less tired.
Tammy – Congrats to your son, I look forward to being able to read what they write about him.
Mike – I had to chuckle when I saw that you couldn't figure out what BTDT meant…too funny.
Esther – Now you really made me laugh when I clicked on your link for Mike, hilarious!
C-R – looks like you had a great group to run with while traveling in Dallas.
Carolyn – Just keep the laughs coming!
Tom – You did just that with your additional BTDT definitions….way too funny!
Now for my runs: Wednesday was supposed to be a 13 mile long run, I figured I would run from the house since it was so balmy but as soon as I started out I could feel that I had no energy at all and ended up slugging out a long tiring 10.67 miles at a very slow pace. 10.67 miles - 1:49:49 (10:19) think maybe the fact that fasting since Tuesday evening for some blood work etc. had anything to do with that? Water throughout the day and a clementine and an apple after my blood work on the way home before this run, what was I thinking? DOH!!!
Thursday - 5 Miles - 41:54 (8:23) – much better.
I have an 11 miler on tap for this afternoon if I can get it in.
Trails are hard!
Does anyone else's main forum page look strange? It's got everthing there, just sort of spread out and in strange locations. Everything else looks just like normal.
I have a collallary to Tramp's training rules. When looking at the forecast, look a little beyond just the temperatures. When I saw that thursday was going to be in the 50's, I skipped wednesday. Did not noitce the 30-50MPH winds and heavy rain that came with it. When the alarm went off and the house was shaking with the rain drumming on the roof, it was PRETTY easy to roll over.
So went out for two laps around the lake to make up for my wimpiness. 6.2 miles for the longest mid-week run that I can remember. Still a little breeze at 15+, but very much comfortable at 27°. The lake had been frozen enough that people were skating earlier in the week, but the warm day and high wind took most of the ice away. It did give the very neat ice wind chimes where the remnants were blown up against the shore. Very bright half moon this morning, too. all in all a very nice morning.
now I guess I need to work.
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
4 miles...TGIF!!!
Back on Stride
Scary freak injury: A friend of mine was running Saturday morning on the snowy path around the lake, wearing her Yaktrax, as I had just an hour earlier. Apparently, part of the strapping broke and the loose end of one of the underfoot coils snagged on her opposite pant leg and pitched her down fast and hard. She broke her upper arm bone, which is now in a sling (no cast required), but I'm sure it's very painful and still swollen. Her husband told me it could be 4-6 months to a full recovery (bones don't heal as quickly at 60 as when we were younger!). That's got to be tough on her, who has worked almost every day for the last 40 years!
It might be a good idea to check your Yaktrax if you have them. With the way they're under your foot, plus aging of the rubber from temperature and salt, they do wear out. I replaced mine last year after one of the straps broke.
It's strange how often it's so much colder where Holly lives than up here 200 miles to the north. I wasn't planning on running today, but since it was 18F and sunny and headed for single digits tomorrow morning, it seemed like a good idea. And it was: 3.75 miles on the rail-trail with just a light dusting of snow, sunshine, and just a light breeze.
Have a good weekend everyone! I'm in charge of the club's monthly "Bagel Day" refreshments out at Stoney Creek Metropark Sunday morning, so you're all invited.
Doug, Runnin' in Rochester, MI
Sounds like she was wearing boot cut running pants, rather than tights. Crazy. So sorry about your friend's freak accident, Roch.
Been delaying going out for my long run long enough. See you all 15 miles from now!
who says life doesn't have a soundtrack?
think maybe the fact that fasting since Tuesday evening for some blood work etc. had anything to do with that? Water throughout the day and a clementine and an apple after my blood work on the way home before this run, what was I thinking? DOH!!!

It's oddly reassuring to know I'm not the only one who does stuff like this.
Stumpy—nope, forum page looks normal here. Funny addition, too. Cold rain is an automatic non-starter for me. I do have my standards.
Wow, Doug, that is a sad, freak injury. Good reminder about safety.
The winds were roaring like a freight train this morning. I felt like I was being buffeted almost all the way. So it was 12 not-so-easy miles. I'm gonna feel this in tomorrow's long run.
...stumpy//...........yeah, I thought it was just my computer, but the forum currently isn't very user friendly.
snow here, 19-degrees
tore up my back
so it doesn't matter til Saturday when I go out for a poolrun
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
I apparently clicked (or didn't click) on the compatibility view in IE. still not sure whether it was on or off, but it toggles between weird and normal looks. So now I'm still confused, but able to see what I want.
posting tet's pics didn't work for me either.
not sure why.

Condolences to you and your wife Maine. Re that blog post, it was the 2nd most-viewed post by me ever because I wrote about a popular man.
Tomorrow at my Club race they will have a little tribute to him, then Sunday a memorial service, then a group celebratory run.
My RP and I took our dogs to the park today and walked just over a mile, so we could get home in time to see her husband again on the NFL Network, covering the coaches' press conference. He did another outstanding job and it was fun to see him.
Tammy, no luck on those photos. Spareribs
Stumpy--I was going to ask the same thing about the forum. Last night it was really out of whack...today it's better but still not quite right. I was afraid to ask, though, after the last time I asked a question...
I hope your back feels better soon, tomwhite.
Oh, yeah--photos aren't pulling through for me, either.
I was driving by the running store and decided to pull in and buy a new pair of shoes. Mizuno Wave Elixir 7's.
Took them out for a 3 miles test drive. So far so good.
And so it goes
For the record, and not to cause trouble, I've never trusted Tet. But now I see he has Tammy in his corner making more mischief. Spareribs
Got new shoes yesterday (NB730s) and got on the treadmill with them. Wow. I have my new lightweight trainer. And they were on sale (Joe's New Balance Outlet). Too cold to be outdoors at 5 this morning (-something) and I needed to get some miles before my trip to Cincy and back.
Take care of that back Tom.
Good advice roch and sorry to hear about your friend's injury. It is odd how sometimes Michigan is warmer than down here in the winter. Must be the wind patterns.
Sorry for the loss Maine.
I get it Holly. My neighbors kid showed up to walk to school yesterday in short sleeves. I threw a coat on him and sock hat. Teen boys sometimes live in a different reality.
Have a great Friday everyone.

We didn't have a special Christmas Tree Topper, so Eli and I decided to make one!
What you need:
1. foam ball
2. paper towel roll
3. straws
4. glitter
5. spray glue
6. one awesome, crafty kiddo's help ;)
We stuck the paper towel roll into the foam ball (I took the hot glue gun and put a bit on there so it'd stick well) then I let Eli go to town stick'n the straws all over! Took longer than I thought haha! Then we sprayed the glue all over it and poured the glitter on! :) We let it dry over night! Then we took red streamers and wrapped the paper towel roll up. Brian had to put it on the top on the tree! Eli said he liked the way it turned out, and that's all I wanted! :)Pin It

o rly? .:May 06 09:.
Protect ya' neck! .:May 06 09:.
Ethics for Crate Digging .:May 05 09:.
I was doing some crate digging research on Sunday in the neighborhood
and it dawned on me that there is an unspoken code of how to dig
records...I was looking through a 'fresh' crate that had just been
brought out for the public and was looking through it with some female
friends when an older lady came up and started looking through the pile
that I had been setting aside for evaluation. I told her that this was
a pile I was previewing and she got a bit huffy and then pushed into
the crate I was looking at. Now we all know that sharing is a value
instilled in all of us since early youth but when it comes to sharing a
crate with a stranger it can be awkward and probably considered rude to
make that your imperative. Now my situation was that I was 2/3 of the
way done looking through the crate and this older lady starts digging
in rather intensely. I blew it off as whatever because my drive to find
records is not as intense as it was in my past, but I could tell my
female friends were ready to pounce on her. In the end we all scored
well and we left happy.
But it got me thinking about crate digging interaction and I noticed a bunch of things that the older lady did wrong.
1. Being perceptive Survey the situation: Is the crate up for grabs? Is there anyone looking at the crate? Do the records seem accessible or should you wait until people are done looking?(Sometimes there are so many crates or records that physically there is space for a lot of people).
2. Courtesy We all know that crate digging is likened to a race or a battle from time to time but is it worth possibly being rude by undermining others in your pursuit? Do you really need to get so close to another person to find what you are looking for? Once again in the past I may have pushed my way into finding things regardless but it seems a bit over-the-top nowadays.
3. Mentality Rethink why finding music is so important. In this day and age of Serato music is much more accessible on analog and digitally; the information is out there with a little research. Unless your JOB is to resell vinyl records(I only know a handful of people who only do this for a living) the intensity to find good music should be tempered. I will admit it can be a huge adrenaline rush and very satisfying to find selections but realize that there are vast amounts of other people trying to do the same thing and alienation is a short sided goal.
Well anyway peace from a good weekend of crate digging, don't stop looking for those gems...

Record Review: Suite for Ma Dukes .:May 05 09:.
this is the our first Record Review, and because I would be the worst
person to attempt to write a review, I have recruited a friend of mine
who buys music as often as he eats to handle this one. I call him JJ,
but he goes by "IX" as in the number 9. -
His legacy continues. By far, this is one of the most sophisticated tributes to the late great James "Dilla" Yancey. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Carlos Ni˝o (from Dwight Trible & the Life Force Trio's Love Is the Answer) reinterpret select Dilla productions through chamber music. You read that right. It's that same ol' buttery and provocative melody, but translated into an arranged masterpiece, minus the drums. From the flutes to the horns and to the violins, each contribution still catches the pure essence of what made Dilla's beats sound nothing short of amazing.
If you ever get a chance to listen to the track, Antiquity, then take note of what Carlos Ni˝o had to say about the recording from Mochilla's website:
"It is also important to note that there was a very mystical and musical rain that came through on the bassoon tracks for Antiquity. When we heard the rain, hitting the sky light of the main live room at Bomb Shelter, we were immediately drawn to it! Miguel commented, that it was Dilla, and we all agreed. When we played the music for Dillaĺs mom Ma Dukes, and brought the rain to her attention, she also agreed that it was him. If you listen closely, youĺll hear it in the track!"
Those who were looking for more of those neck breaking beats might shy away from this, but if you can appreciate the effort put into it and the sheer amount of dedication that made us followers of Dilla's legacy, then you should do yourself a favor and pick up this gem. Four tracks of orchestrated goodness. Proceeds from this record will undoubtely go to Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey (Dilla's ma).

There's one important code signing feature that didn't make it into my recent article on code signing in Adobe AIR: the ability to switch to a new certificate.
You can use this feature to transition from a self-sign certificate used during initial development to a CA-issued certificate purchased later. You can also use it switch between certificates issued by different CAs, or even to switch identities if say, your company is purchased by another.
The feature is straightforward to use: First, package a version of your application using your new certificate. Then, sign it a second time (using the "-migrate" option to adt) using your old certificate. The second signature covers the first, so the original signer is effectively granting permission to the new signer to take over the application's identity. Note, though, that both certificates must be valid for some overlapping period of time in order to make the transition.
Without this feature switching certificates is disruptive for the end user: the version of the application signed with the new certificate is handled as an entirely different application than the old one. The application can't even update itself from one to the other, as the Updater API will refuse to see them as related.
With this feature the transition is much smoother, although there are still a couple of rough edges. An application can use the Updater API to update to the new version when using this feature. However, the application's publisher ID will change during this update, which means that:
- The application's local connection name will change,
- The application will no longer have access to its old encrypted local store, and
- The application's application storage directory will change.
Regarding the storage directory, it's worth noting that you can still access the old one via the File API; you just can't get to it via File.applicationStorageDirectory.

TRANS-TASMAN corporate raider Sir Ron Brierley has launched his first raiding party since transforming Mercantile Investment Co into an active investment play, aiming his guns at Murchison Metals and sending a shiver down the collective spines of local company directors.
Mercantile issued a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange on Tuesday announcing it had lodged a requisition for a general meeting of Murchison Metals for the purpose of removing the chairman, Ken Scott-Mackenzie, and managing director Greg Martin.
The raiders will seek to appoint in their place Gabriel Radzyminski, an executive director of Mercantile, and Paul Jensen, who will be an independent director.
Sir Ron, who is chairman of Mercantile, said the action to remove two directors was an ''urgent and direct response'' to the discovery of the excessive level of expenses being incurred by Murchison.
''If the new directors are elected, their first priority will be to stem the cash outflow,'' the statement said.
Mercantile has an 11.7 per cent stake in Murchison.
New Zealand-born Sir Ron is a classic corporate raider, having spent more than 20 years building up Guinness Peat Group into a billion dollar investment in the 1990s that was quick to attack companies with lazy balance sheets or management - or both - and either strip them of assets or resuscitate the business and sell it on for significant profits.
Sir Ron moved to Mercantile this year - he remains a director of Guinness Peat - and is building that company up into a new corporate raider.
Murchison is a shadow of its former self: the company was originally the driving force behind plans for the $6 billion Oakajee port and rail project, which was set to create a new export hub for a cluster of iron ore miners in the mid-west of WA.
As well as developing the port through a joint venture with Mitsubishi, Murchison had its own iron ore assets that were planned to funnel through the port. But the company unravelled through 2011 when it could not fund the development of Oakajee, and it eventually sold its stake to Mitsubishi for $325 million.
Recently, Mitsubishi declared the project was on hold because a partner could not be found.
Shares in Murchison have nearly doubled since August to close at 4¢ on Tuesday but have fallen more than 74 per cent since 2010.
Murchison has denied that it is spending excessive levels of investors' money and is in the midst of a string of capital returns to shareholders and then plans to wind itself up.

Hollywood Actress Daryl Hannah Arrested in East Texas
Actress Daryl Hannah has been arrested along with a 78-year-old northeast Texas landowner while protesting construction of a pipeline designed to bring crude oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries.
Hannah's manager says the actress was arrested Thursday evening. He says Hannah and landowner Eleanor Fairchild were standing in front of heavy equipment brought onto the woman's property in Winnsboro, located east of Dallas.
Both women were taken to the Wood County Jail.
Hannah, who starred in "Splash" and "Wall Street" also was arrested in August 2011 while protesting the Keystone XL pipeline in Washington.
Several acres of Fairchild's farm have been condemned by TransCanada. She says she opposes TransCanada's plan to transport heavy tar-sands crude from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
