CHS's Nick Schumacher an all-stater for all 4 years
By LARRY DEVINE
, News Editor
Carroll High School students named to all-state chorus for this weekend's All-State Music Festival at Iowa State University in Ames are (from left) senior Nick Schumacher, junior Abby Murane and sophomore Jeff Shymanski. Schumacher was selected all-state for the fourth time and Murrane the third time, while Shymanski was a first alternate last year.
Friday, November 16, 2012
Carroll High School senior Nick Schumacher sees music being central to his life long into the future.
He took a step toward that goal when he recently became one of the few CHS students in recent years to earn four-year all-state vocal honors. Past four-year all-staters are Dusty Heino, Kelsey Duhrkopf and Erica Doud.
Schumacher, son of Jerry and Ruth Schumacher and Robert and Elizabeth Peterson, is one of three CHS students selected for the 602-member All-State Chorus. The others are junior Abby Murrane, daughter of Tim and Virginia Murrane, third year all-state, and sophomore Jeff Shymanski, son of John and Lucinda Shymanski, first year, first alternate last year.
According to a news release on all-state music selections, approximately 17 percent of the students who audition are selected for membership in all-state ensembles, which include the chorus, a 283-piece band and a 204-piece orchestra.
Participants will rehearse in Ames today and Saturday, and the All-State Festival concert will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Hilton Coliseum on the Iowa State University campus in Ames. Iowa Public TV will record the concert for broadcast. The all-state program is under the auspices of the Iowa High School Music Association and Iowa Music Educators Association.
At the Festival, Schumacher and all other four-year all-staters will receive special individual introductions.
Looking forward to performing in all-state chorus, Schumacher says of singing in the 600-strong group, "You may think your voice doesn't matter in that, but it really does. It makes all the difference in the world. And to be a part of something that big, it gives me chills to the point where sometimes I'd stop singing and just listen and be almost in tears because it was so amazing and gorgeous."
He adds, "Watching on TV, it sounds good. But it's nothing like being in the choir."
Doug Sweeney, who has instructed Schumacher in vocal music both at Carroll Middle School and Carroll High School, comments, "Nick has an incredible natural voice, great ear, and along with these gifts he is a very, very hard-worker with high expectations of himself. When I heard him when he was just a student at CMS I knew there was a bright future, and I thought there was another potential four-year all-stater."
Sweeney says of the four-year all-state achievement, "To be accepted into the all-state chorus for four years is an incredible accomplishment. Out of the 600 students accepted into the chorus 10 at the most each year are four-year all-staters. The advantage is to the older, more mature musician so it is more difficult for freshmen and sophomores. When Erica (Doud) and Kelsey (Duhrkopf) were recognized at the concert for their four years in all-state there were only seven from the choir."
Possibly one of the qualities that's driven Schumacher to the top is his passion for music to the point that he becomes frustrated when other students don't share his high standards and intensity. He sees it as lost opportunity for them. But he says he's learned to control his emotion.
Sweeney observes, "He has very high expectations of himself, and that is what it takes to be successful in music. The desire to drive yourself that one extra step. That shows not only in his accomplishment as an all-state musician but also in his many roles that he has on our musicals especially the way he took control in this years show 'Footloose.'"
Music has been a part of Schumacher's life for a long time. His mom, Elizabeth Peterson, is a veteran music teacher at Kuemper Catholic Middle School (St. Lawrence Center). His dad, Jerry Schumacher, is head of engineering with Toyne Inc. fire truck manufacturer in Breda.
Nick says with a laugh, "He (his dad) is one of the most unmusical people you will ever meet. I got the music from my mom probably, and I got the engineering or mechanical capability from my dad, so I have the best of both worlds. Having those two skills, which are almost polar opposites, is something I'm really thankful for."
Schumacher says his parents and stepparents have strongly supported his interest in music. He received a keyboard from his dad and stepmom and taught himself how to play piano, he says, "by reading through the music and playing things over and over."
He adds, "I picked up a little technique here and there. The Internet is a good resource for that."
Schumacher also has found a supportive environment at school and says, "All my closest friends have been involved in music, and that has encouraged me."
He began band lessons in fifth grade playing clarinet and first sang for an instructor in school in seventh grade. In eighth grade, he was selected for Opus Honor Chorus.
Schumacher credits vocal-music teacher Sweeney with giving him tools necessary to excel.
Trying out for all-state, Schumacher says, he's had the good fortune of singing with outstanding schoolmates: Scott Cullen, Bridget Hughes and Tanna Henkelman his freshman year; Abby Murrane and Elyse Borchers his sophomore year; Murrane and Moriah Hodge last year; and Murrane this year.
He says of Cullen, Hughes and Henkelman his freshman year, "They really helped me learn to become an all-stater because they'd made it before."
His sophomore audition provided some high anxiety, because judges called him back for a second performance before making a decision.
"The chance I wasn't going to make it was really stressful," he says. "That was the year I screamed when they rolled down the results and I was on them. That was a huge relief."
Schumacher says he's grown in music long past the days when he'd concentrate heavily just on reading the music. Now it's coming by instinct and he can pour emotion into the music.
"It's so much more than what's written on the page," he says. "It's really a deep level of understanding that you need in order to make it into all-state choir, which is why it's really hard to make it.
"It's that deeper level of understanding, that makes you start thinking about other things in your life and how much meaning they have.
"It's an amazing experience to be able to take something written on paper and turn it into something that can make people cry, make people laugh, make people happy. That's one of the most important things."
Schumacher sees music as something he'll be able to do the rest of his life.
"It's an emotional outlet for me," he says. "Some people have their arts. Some people play sports to get all the emotion out of them. But music is my thing. It's that important to me."
Sweeney says, "I see him doing anything that he would like to do in music. He has already been doing some composing. He also a natural gift for that, as well as his talents with voice, piano and clarinet and probably any other instrument he would decide to pursue. I could see him performing, doing composition> It is wide open for him, and as hard as he works, doors will open up for him."
At one time Schumacher, who carries a 4.0 grade-point average and is a National Honor Society member, thought he'd possibly follow closer to his dad's footsteps and pursue architectural study.
But he's now made music his focus.
In instrumental music at CHS he's played clarinet and piano and recently took up alto saxophone with the jazz band.
He's received Northwest Iowa Honor Band honors the last three years. He didn't audition his freshman year, and now, he says, he regrets missing the chance of earning that honor for four years.
"I enjoy doing honor bands as much as I do honor choirs," says Schumacher, adding, "It's really good to have experience in both (band and choir) because they're both so important to me."
He's served as CHS band drum major the last two years and has enjoyed providing his own flair — hand motions and glitter toss — before stepping up to lead the band at football halftime shows.
"I looked up videos online and kind of mishmashed them and put up the moves that I want," he says.
On stage in CHS fall plays, Schumacher has had prominent roles all four years, playing the evil dentist in "The Little Shop of Horrors," Hawkeye in "MASH," Professor Harold Hill in "The Music Man," and Ren in "Footloose." Schumacher also hopes to perform in theater in college.
In show choir, Schumacher has been part of a CHS group that has a long tradition of receiving top ratings at state contest and scoring high in other contests as well.
He plans to attend either Luther College in Decorah or Central College in Pella and major in band or vocal-music education.
"Later I may go into composition or theory at a bigger school," he says. "I can see myself as either a chorus or band teacher. I'd be happy at either one. But either way music has to be a really big part of my life. I can't see myself living without being in some sort of band or singing in some sort of choir or directing. I can't see my life without it."

Topic: Post-Whipple follow-up scans and tests?
My wife is currently 9 months post-Whipple for CC, and 2 months post-adjuvant chemotherapy (Gemcitabine /Gemzar). Her scans and blood tests are clear, though she has a fairly severe incisional hernia repair in the next week or so.
Does a six-monthly CT scan and 3 monthly C19-9 etc. sound reasonable, or are any of you on a very different follow-up regime?
Many thanks.

Al Franken
Comedian / U.S. Senator
Date Of Birth:
21 May 1951
Place Of Birth:
New York City, New York
Best Known As:
The liberal comedian who was elected senator from Minnesota in 2008
Al Franken is the Emmy-winning comedy writer and political satirist who became a U.S. Senator from Minnesota in 2009. Franken graduated from Harvard, then started his comedy career (with partner Tom Davis) in New York in the early 1970s. He was a busy writer and performer for the TV comedy show Saturday Night Live (in 1975-80 and again from 1985-95), where he was best known for his character Stuart Smalley, a self-help expert whose signature line was "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!" Franken then worked for CNN, doing commentary for the 1988 Democratic National Convention. He teamed with columnist Arianna Huffington in 1992 and 1996 to cover the presidential elections for cable television's Comedy Central, and had great success with a series of funny but gloves-off political books, including Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot and Other Observations (1996) and Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right (2003). He was a Fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government in 2003, where he researched and wrote the best-selling Lies, a satirical attack on the policies of U.S. president George W. Bush and conservative media (which sparked a feud with Bill O'Reilly). Franken served as a big-name host for the 2004 start-up of the liberal radio network Air America, a post he left in early 2007 to run for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota's 2008 election. Franken, a Democrat, ran against incumbent senator Norm Coleman, a Republican. Franken had a slim lead after all the votes were counted, but appeals and objections by Coleman led to months of delays. The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled unanimously on 30 June 2009 that Franken had received the most votes and deserved to be declared the winner. Coleman conceded the same day, and Franken was formally seated in the Senate on 7 July 2009.

Did you know?
The Garden Route National Park, consisting of the Wilderness, Nature's Valley and Tsitsikamma, is home to over 280 species of birds.
Cape Town's surrounding areas offer great opportunities to explore the treasures of the Western Cape. The regions east and west match the Mother City for attractions, scenic beauty and adventure, and outside Cape Town you'll meet the down to earth version of everything South Africa.
The areas surrounding Cape Town stretch to the West Coast, the Overberg, the Garden Route and even as far as Oudtshoorn.
On the West Coast, walk in the path of the early Khoisan, whose signature may be found in hundreds of rock paintings, particularly in the rugged Cederberg.
At the West Coast Fossil Park, a 90-minute drive from Cape Town, there's a rich find of animal fossils, even three-toed horses, would you believe! Visit Paternoster for a classic fishermen's village retreat, and Yzerfontein for an endless, unexploited stretch of beach.
About mid-year, depending on the rains, the region bursts into bloom with acres of daisies as the wild flower season starts.
From June, Southern Right whales visit the Overberg coast, taking up residence in the inlets and coves of Walker Bay whale sanctuary. Watch them frolicking from the cliffs and beaches of the seaside town of Hermanus, or get close in a whale-viewing boat. Don't miss Cape Agulhas, marked by a lighthouse; the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
The Garden Route runs up the south-eastern Cape coast, incorporating Mossel Bay, Sedgefield, George, Wilderness, Plettenberg Bay and Knysna. Aptly named, it's a veritable Eden. Beaches, lakes, lagoons and forests combine with magnificent golf estates and cultural attractions. Considered South Africa's adventure sports capital, it's a region sprinkled liberally with thrills like extreme bungee jumping, sea kayaking and treetop canopy tours through the amazing Tsitsikamma forest.
Don't be fooled by the dryness of the Karoo. Under its infinite skies there's much archaeology, wildlife, architecture and some of the most impressive mountain passes. The Sutherland Observatory is of particular interest to star gazers, and snow is common during winter.
The Cango Caves outside Oudtshoorn drip with stalactites and stalagmites, while the ostrich palaces, located on farms where you can ride one of the birds if you dare, have retained their yesteryear elegance.

Writer's Block
1. One of the most common causes of writer's block is the lack of knowledge about the topic that you have been assigned. The first step to deal with this issue is to do some research! Even if the assignment is not to write a research paper, doing research and reading about the topic that you are writing about will help give you confidence to write a clear and informative essay.
I don't know much about insects. If I were assigned an essay in my biology class about the life of ants, I would have a major case of writer's block. It would be necessary for me to learn about them and their everyday activities in order for me to even know what to begin writing. So, if your problem is unfamiliarity of the assigned topic, visit Google (or your preferred search engine) and spend a few minutes learning about it. Take notes while you're reading, and then use those notes as an outline for your essay. You can then decide what is worth mentioning and what parts of your research are irrelevant to the paper.
2. Read someone else's paper on the same topic. Sometimes reading the views of someone else will help you understand how you feel about a certain issue (whether you agree or disagree). Talking to a friend or family member can also be a great way to grab ideas for your writing. Sometimes it's easy to think of things in a conversational form rather than with pen and paper. The most important thing to remember is not to copy anyone else's work. If you consult another paper for ideas, come up with your own original paper to submit in class. Plagiarism is never tolerable.
3. Another possible cure to writer's block is to detach your mind from the format of the paper. Sometimes it is best to just begin writing, without worrying about spelling, grammar check, and punctuation. After your thoughts are down on paper, you can go back and correct your mistakes. It is much easier to proofread a paper that is too long (because you can omit words or phrases that don't make sense) than to try to come up with a perfect, logical essay on the first try.
Most likely, when you begin writing, ideas will flow one after another. It is best to write them down as soon as they come to you (even if you are in the middle of sentence) because by the time you finish the sentence you may forget the new idea that you wanted to add.
4. Make short-term goals for yourself to help you get the paper finished, especially if it is on a subject that doesn't necessarily strike your interest. We, as students, will inevitably be assigned writing assignments that aren't particularly exciting for us. Of course, you will have to write papers in subjects which interest you, but writer's block will play more of a role in classes that don't excite you. Unfortunately, you will still be required to turn something in to be graded.
When boredom is the cause of your writer's block, setting goals can help you overcome the lack of motivation. We often will set time out of our day to begin writing the paper, and then tell ourselves that we have to do something else before we want to start writing. After making a sandwich, calling a friend, and updating our Facebook statuses, we end up wasting an hour or two and ultimately aren't productive at all. Instead of immediately becoming distracted, make a personal goal to finish three or four paragraphs (or even one page) of work before you let yourself leave the area. Even if it isn't the best thing you've ever written, at least you will have something accomplished when you return to finish the paper. Basically, you want to limit all possible distractions, so you should reward yourself after you write a certain amount of paragraphs with 30 minutes of doing something that you enjoy.
Writing should be a growing skill for you. There is no right or wrong way to write a paper; there are only guidelines to help you write effectively. It is certainly possible to sit down at your computer, type a paper, and have it finished when you stand up two hours later. However, if you want an essay that makes sense, is free of grammatical mistakes, and will be more likely to get a good grade, then you need to spend more than one sitting on writing it. Try one or more of these techniques the next time you have writer's block and see if they make the writing process a little easier for you!

One of the fastest growing areas of the automotive industry is the production of electric and hybrid vehicles. These cars and trucks use electric power to augment or eliminate the need for a gasoline engine.
Hybrid technology is not a new idea. Ferdinand Porsche developed the world's first functional hybrid car, the Lohner-Porsche Semper Vivus ("Always Alive") and presented it at the Paris Auto Show of 1901. A modified version, the Mixte, was put into production later that year.
In 1979, Mother Earth News reported that David Arthur of Springdale, Arkansas, had converted his Opel to hybrid electric operation, and blueprints were offered for sale.
There are currently three categories of electric and hybrid vehicles on the market. A good explanation of each type, side-by-side comparisons of different models, and links to other informative websites can be found at www.fueleconomy.gov:
Edmunds.com now lists over 60 electric and hybrid vehicles on its website.
Magazine articles about hybrid electrics can be found in the Library's MasterFile Premier* database.
Books and other materials in the Library's collection can be found by searching our COOLcat catalog for the following subjects:

It's often the fate of the World Bank to be overshadowed at the spring meetings, since its sibling, the IMF, is generally in the thick of a faster-moving story (Greece, currencies, bank taxes, etc).
But in a weekend when the IMF basically avoided discussing all the big questions, the bank actually made some real concrete progress: it secured the $5.1bn capital increase that its president Robert Zoellick has been seeking for the best part of a year. So, like the IMF with its tripled firepower, the bank is having a shot at keeping up with the growth in the global economy. Read more

LAKELAND, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's tennis team, up 4-3 in its match with No.6-ranked Rollins, saw its match suspended with Jacobo Gonzalez-Torres holding a 6-4, 6-5 lead at No.4 singles, and possessing a 40-15 break advantage. In addition, the women's third-place match has been pushed back to Sunday afternoon.
The men posted one doubles point at No.3 flight as Aloua Adjenak and Jake Fleischer took down Jeff Morris and Ari Davis, 8-2.
Despite Rollins collecting the first singles point, Antoine Raffaelli, the Lions' six-slot player, ousted Bernardo Barroso in straight-sets, 6-1, 6-2. Victor Lozier tied the match at three apiece after downing Malte Christesen, with identical 6-4, 6-4, scores.
Matt Nicholson-Lewis then shocked the No.6-ranked player in country, Jeff Morris, at No.2 singles as he blew past his opponent in consecutive sets, 6-3 and 6-1.
Up 4-3, the Lions' Gonzalez-Tarrio bounced Davis in the first set, 6-4. With rain looming, the two exchanged points until Davis gained a 5-3 lead in the second set. From that point forward, Saint Leo's four-flight player held and broke Davis' serve to tie the match at five apiece. Moving forward, Gonzalez-Tarrio held one more time to retake the lead, 6-5. With Davis serving, and Gonzalez-Tarrio being challenged with a multitude of delays by his opponent, the Lions' freshman gained a 40-15 advantage on Davis before rain suspended action for the evening.
Additionally, Aloud Adjenak played remarkable tennis as he took the opening set of his match with the No.2-ranked Lucas Jovita, 7-6, at top-flight singles. He currently tied with Jovita at one set apiece in the third set.
The men's match is scheduled to get underway at noon on Sunday, April 22. The women will take to the court against nationally-ranked Rollins at 1:30 p.m.
Full details will come at the conclusion of the match on Sunday.

Help: talk pages, talk page guidelines
Initial version of this page Edit
This is a first try for a "build your own CHDK" tutorial. I hope I did not make too many mistakes, since I don't really know much about C. Please feel free to correct or add things as you like.
I'd like to have written some words about the files in the 'core' folder, but I don't know enough of it. Most file names are self-explanatory (gui_batt, gui_calendar etc.), but some I do not understand at first (gui_fselect, gui_mbox, nothumb, Makefile). --Harvester 12:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
A build question - I've built on Windows successfully on one laptop, but on another laptop when I try to build in the cmd shell I see:
- Error from getconsolebufinfo Oyi
- Error from setcursor Oyi
When I press enter, I see the messages again. The shell is hung. The 'Oyi' characters change. Anyone seen this?
Later... I've made some progress. The problem seems to be due to the 'gmake.exe' in the build environment. When I rename it to 'gmakefoo.exe' and build using 'gmakefoo fir' it works. Under cygwin too, not just dos. Not sure what's up. --Mike McCabe
USB access? Edit
Can scripts written for chdk access the camera's USB port? If yes, I'd like to build a GPS peripheral for automatic geotagging.
- No, at the moment CHDK can only recognize the USB power signal, this is used for the USB remote control feature. Fe50 21:40, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
needs update Edit
i tried to update a bit, but it needs a BETTER update by one of the devs.

The standard Adobe Acrobat and Reader installer, which are available for download on Adobe.com, and the installer for Adobe Reader MUI, include AIR. (There are separate installers for Acrobat and Reader that don't install AIR, see ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader)
- The AIR-Installer is included automatically and starts in a separate process after the Reader MSI is installed. If the installation of any subsequent MSP patches starts too quickly after the MSI installation, then you receive an error as the AIR installer starts. You can work around this with a short delay in your installation routine between the MSI and MSP installers.
- The AIR installation remains on the machine even after Reader is uninstalled and has to be removed separately. (There is no option to disable it.)
- After AIR is installed, it requires an automatic update to be installed from the internet. Machines that do not have internet access cannot get this update.
If you don't want to install AIR, you have two options to disable the AIR installer from the Adobe Reader installation package:
- Using the msiexec parameter "DISABLE_AIR_SHARE=YES" For example: msiexec /i Acroread.msi /qb DISABLE_AIR_SHARE=YES
- Using Customization Wizard/Orca, you can modify the installation package itself and remove the reference to AIR. (Only for experienced users)

Following Thursday's confirmation by the Secretary General of NATO [2] that Syria had fired Scud missiles, online activists have uploaded footage appearing to show President Assad's forces launching the ballistic weapons.One video [3], posted on YouTube on Friday, purports to show the Scud missiles launched from Douma, a city 10km to the north of the capital Damascus.
There has been no confirmation from NATO of Friday's launches as yet.
Head OF NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen [4], was quoted by Reuters on Thursday as saying that Scud missiles were fired last week, in "acts of a desperate regime approaching collapse".
Fears are growing that Assad could use the ballistic missile system to deliver a chemical attack. The United States has repeatedly said that the Syrian army using chemical weapons against civilians is a 'red line', which would prompt military action against Assad.
Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that chemical weapons have been used in the 21-month old conflict.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A 14-year-old driver was arrested Sunday morning after police say they found a loaded gun in his possession.
The teen was pulled over about 2:55 a.m. when an officer noticed the driver make an unsafe lane change on South Semoran Boulevard.
Police said during questioning the teen and his three passengers, the officer observed a live round of ammunition on the floor of the vehicle. Upon searching the vehicle, a revolver was found in the center console, according to a police report.
The boy told police the gun was not his and he had held it earlier but never shot it. There was one spent round in the cylinder, and an attempt had been made to file the serial number off of the gun, the report states.
Police say the teen tried to flee while police were investigating but was apprehended before he could.
The boy, who was driving without a license, was charged with possession of a firearm by a minor and resisting an officer without violence. He was booked into the Juvenile Assessment Center.

iHome's iP76 is a colorful, good-sounding speaker dock
iHome iP76 LED Color Changing Tower Stereo Speaker System with Bluetooth for iPhone and iPodTechHive Rating
iHome's $200 iP76 LED Color Changing Tower Stereo Speaker System with Bluetooth for iPhone and iPod—or just iP76 to its friends—is a tall, glowing speaker dock, thanks to lighted panels up and down the left and right sides. That the iP76 weighs barely more than eight pounds is impressive when you consider its dimensions: It's 10.1 inches wide and deep at its circular base, but just over three feet tall.
At the top of the unit sits a dock cradle for your iPhone or iPod. The iP76 ships with three dock-cradle adapters, for the iPhone 4 and 4S; the second-, third- and fourth-generation iPod touch; and the sixth-generation iPod nano. Also on the top of the unit sits a crowded array of buttons. Five tiny circular buttons directly in front of the dock cradle control the iP76's lighting features: Slow Color Change, Solid Color, Pulse to Music, Strobe Light, and Dimmable Lamp. Each of those buttons offers multiple modes, which you control by pressing the button repeatedly. With Slow Color Change, for example, the presses affect whether the lights fade in from top to bottom, from bottom to top, outward from the middle, inward from the edges, show solid bars, display rainbow color effects, and so on.
The mode I was most eager to try was Pulse to Music, but I was mostly disappointed with it. The best options with that mode—that is, the ones that seem to best reflect the beat and levels of the music you're listening to—are limited to a glowing red. The speaker's light panels are capable of shining in seven different colors, so I don't understand why the best Pulse modes are limited to a single hue. The one pulsing option that employs the iP76's full array of colors seems better suited to a rave or an epilepsy-testing facility than your home.
The other buttons on top of the iP76 are power, volume down and up, a toggle to switch lighting on or off, play/pause, iPod mode, and Bluetooth mode. Press and hold the Bluetooth button and the speaker beeps to indicate that it's in pairing mode. The iP76 paired painlessly with various iOS devices in my home. In my testing, however, the iP76's Pulse-lighting modes seemed to sync with the music better when playing through the system's dock cradle than when playing over Bluetooth—during the latter, iP76's Pulse mode feels kind of random. You switch between listening to a docked iPhone or iPod and listening to Bluetooth audio by pressing the iPod or Bluetooth button, respectively.
On the back of the iP76, at the top, you'll find a 1/8 inch (3.5mm) auxiliary-input jack for listening to another audio source, along with component-video-out jacks for watching your iPhone or iPod's video on a TV. Below those sits a small plastic holder for the included remote control. At the bottom of the tower is a connection for the included power cable.
Speaking of the remote, it's a small, black-plastic, infrared model that sports buttons for mute, power, lamp toggle, volume up and down, previous, next, play/pause, iPod mode, Bluetooth mode, and Light Mode, along with directional buttons to switch between the individual light modes. I suppose there wasn't enough space on the remote to fit all five lighting-mode buttons, but it is a bit confusing to cycle through the available lighting options using a completely different method on the remote than when using the onboard buttons.
The iP76's big acoustic challenge is that its narrow design doesn't lend itself to stereo separation; indeed, I heard none. But that's my sole real complaint about the iP76's audio quality. I appreciated its bass presence, its maximum volume, and its balanced, well-defined midrange. There are occasions, at maximum volumes, where both the upper and lower ends start to distort, but backing off just a few ticks eliminates those issues without sacrificing the ability to fill your room with sound.
My other significant complaint about the iP76 is that it feels a bit cheap. The plastic parts feel flimsy; the control panel on top feels too crowded. The lighting element is fun—cool, even—and the sound is plenty good at this price, but the whole package just doesn't quite feel solid.
Macworld's buying advice
I certainly wouldn't recommend the iP76 if you don't care about its lighting features, as they're the speaker's primary draw. If you don't care about them, your $200 can be better spent—indeed, iHome's own iHome iW2 ( ) trades the lights, dock, and Bluetooth features for a compact AirPlay audio system. If, on the other hand, you're attracted to the iP76's bright lights, you likely won't be disappointed—despite the slight letdown of the unit's plasticky feel, the iP76's audio quality is good, too.

It may be worth noting that I live in the city and the nocturnal creature in question was on the sidewalk in front of the local middle school.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/8/2012 (1823 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Paul LaPolice was hired in 2010 for one good reason -- the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offence sucked.
And LaPolice was fired on Saturday for one good reason -- the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offence still sucked.
That, in a nutshell, sums up the brief and mostly forgettable years that will be the LaPolice reign in the Bombers history books.
Hired prior to the 2010 season based on his performance as the offensive co-ordinator in Saskatchewan, LaPolice was given one task -- to do for the sorry, sad-sack offence left behind by the Mike Kelly debacle what he had done in Saskatchewan for a club which at that point had been to the Grey Cup twice in three years.
That offensive renaissance never happened -- and LaPolice is unemployed today because of it.
"When I first interviewed and hired Paul," Bombers GM Joe Mack said Saturday, "I was explicit that I felt Winnipeg had not had a good offence for an extended period of time. And one of the main reasons he was getting hired was to revamp and reconstitute the offence.
"And I didn't really feel that had been accomplished."
Mack also alluded Saturday to a litany of other reasons for firing LaPolice -- his teams were undisciplined and took too many stupid penalties, including 13 in a loss to B.C. Friday night; he couldn't extract the best out of the talent that he did have; and his players simply no longer believed in what he was selling.
But all that's beside the larger point. The Bombers' offence remains as anemic today as it ever was and a review of the LaPo years reveals that the only success he ever had -- a 7-1 tear to begin the 2011 season -- had nothing to do with LaPolice's offence and everything to do with the defence masterminded by Tim Burke, the man who replaced him as Bombers field boss on Saturday.
That defence dragged the Bombers to the 2011 Grey Cup despite LaPolice's offence, not because of it. And LaPolice -- who no one's ever accused of being a fool -- wisely parlayed the run into a contract extension for himself during the off-season.
But when you take apart LaPolice's reign in Winnipeg, what emerges is that the 7-1 run was anomalous -- a brief moment in time that LaPolice wasn't able to replicate before or since. The 2010 Bombers under LaPolice were 4-14 -- and the Bombers under LaPolice since that 7-1 run have been a combined 6-14, including 1-1 in last year's playoffs.
The numbers don't lie and in a business that's all about the numbers, LaPolice's simply weren't good enough in the end.

Atlanta • The clutch quarterback. The genius coach. The big-play defense.
The San Francisco 49ers are ready to start a new dynasty with a familiar formula.
Next stop, the Big Easy.
Atlanta • The clutch quarterback. The genius coach. The big-play defense.
The San Francisco 49ers are ready to start a new dynasty with a familiar formula.
Next stop, the Big Easy.
Colin Kaepernick and Frank Gore led San Francisco to a record comeback in the NFC championship game Sunday, overcoming an early 17-0 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 and send the 49ers to their first Super Bowl since 1995.
Gore scored a pair of touchdowns, including the winner with 8:23 remaining for San Francisco's first lead of the day, and the 49ers defense made it stand up. A fourth-down stop at the 10-yard line denied Atlanta another stirring comeback after blowing a big lead.
"Everybody does a little," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said, "and it adds up to be a lot."
San Francisco (13-4-1) moves on to face Baltimore at New Orleans in two weeks, looking to join Pittsburgh as the only franchises with six Super Bowl titles. It'll be a brother-vs.-brother matchup, too, since John Harbaugh coaches the Ravens.
Joe Montana led the 49ers to four Super Bowl wins and Steve Young took them to No. 5. It's up to Kaepernick and Co. to get No. 6.
"He just competes like a maniac all the time," said Harbaugh, whose much-debated decision to bench Alex Smith at midseason now looks like the best move of the year. "It's always the same when I'm looking in through the facemask."
The second-year quarterback, who runs like a track star, didn't get a chance to show off his touchdown celebration flexing his right arm and kissing his bicep, a move that quickly became a social media sensation known as Kaepernicking.
But he shredded the Falcons through the air by completing 16-for-21 for 233 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown to Vernon Davis, and had them so worried about his running ability out of the spread option that Gore and LaMichael James had plenty of room.
Gore scored a pair of touchdowns, including the game winner with 8:23 remaining for San Francisco's first lead of the day. Davis scored the first TD for the 49ers on a 15-yard run.
The 49ers pulled off the biggest comeback victory in an NFC championship game, according to STATS.
Kaepernick guided San Francisco on a pair of second-half scoring drives that wiped out Atlanta's 24-14 lead at the break.
Gore scored on a 5-yard run early in the third quarter, then sprinted in from 9 yards out for the winning score with 8:23 remaining after each team made crucial mistakes to ruin potential scoring drives.
The top-seeded Falcons (14-4), in what appeared to be the final game for Hall of Famer-to-be Tony Gonzalez, tried to pull off another season-extending drive. But, unlike the week before against Seattle, they needed a touchdown this time.
They came up 10 yards short. On fourth down, Matt Ryan attempted a pass over the middle to Roddy White that would have been enough to keep the drive going. But linebacker NaVorro Bowman stuck a hand in to knock it away with 1:13 remaining.

On a tight circuit that had seen rainfall earlier in the day, the green team pushed the front-runners all the way from lap one with Oliver leading from the front for a number of laps in the race, stretching the distance between the leading pack and the rest of the field.
And as the riders came across the finish line, both Oliver and Boylan were amongst the lead pack, gaining their highest positions so far in the series, as well as earning Team CTC 19 points on the day, taking the team's total tally to 30 points.
Hannah Barnes of MG Maxifuel took her third individual win of the series, with Louise Borthwick of Edinburgh RC winning the Combativity and Sprint awards.
Going into the race, team manager Steve Bailey was confident that the ladies would be fighting from the front at the fourth round in Surrey, and speaking afterwards he was delighted with the result.
As far as I'm concerned that's the best performance to date from any of the riders in any race. Tamina in particular was extremely strong in putting our game plan of breaking up the pack into play and showed great character, which bodes well for the rest of the season."Steve Bailey
Team CTC Manager
With Woking a stone's throw away from CTC's headquarters in Guildford, dozens of staff and members - including chief executive Gordon Seabright - were on hand to take to the streets and give the team in green their support.
And as in any sport, the encouragement from the spectators was a huge positive for the ladies' race performance in Bailey's eyes:
"I spoke to the three of them after the race and their feeling was that the cheers they got from everyone at CTC and the rest of the crowd was worth an extra five seconds a lap in workrate, which at the end of the day can make a huge difference to where you finish.
"It was great to be able to put on a good performance for everyone who came along, and on behalf of myself and the team I'd like to thank them all for being here today and giving their support.
Whilst the Tour makes its way to Aylsham for the fifth and final stage on Thursday, Team CTC unfortunately won't be participating. Due to the unavailability of riders and a gruelling schedule that includes the upcoming two-day National Series event in Blackpool this weekend, Bailey believes it's in everybody's best interest to miss out.
"Aylsham is one step too far for us and that's purely down to logistics. We've had a good run for our money on the Tour and I think we've done everything we've wanted to do in the Johnson Health Tech Series."
Looking ahead to the double header in Blackpool, the expectation from Bailey is for a solid team performance, bearing in mind that for some of the ladies Sunday will be their fifth day of competition in the space of eight days.
"I hope that on the first day we remain competitive, and on the second at least two or three of the girls finish in the top third of the field - that would be a good result considering the number of races they would have completed in the past week by then."

Background notes
Going by Data's statement that the The energy ribbon from Star Trek Generations passes through the Milky Way Galaxy every 39.1 years, it can be expected to return in 2410, 2449, and 2488.
In the game Star Trek Online, Humans reached the Delta Quadrant in the year 2410, along with the Romulan Republic and the Klingon Empire, through the use of Dyson Spheres and Iconian Gateways. This contradicts the Q's prediction of Humans reaching the Delta Quadrant in 2472. This year also sees the Iconians return from exile in the Andromeda Galaxy and engage in a massive invasion of the Milky Way, forcing all the major powers of the galaxy to join together to fight them.

Werner Vogels, CTO and VP of Amazon Web Services, joined Amazon in 2004 as director of systems research, coming from a computer science research post at Cornell University. In Holland, he had been a student of some of the leading minds in computing. The late Jim Gray, a Turing Award winner "for seminal contributions to database and transaction processing research and technical leadership in system implementation," was a proctor for Vogels' defense of his PhD thesis at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. At Vrije, Vogels' advisers included Andrew Tannenbaum, who wrote standard textbooks on operating systems as well as the code for the Minix operating system, and Henri Bal, a specialist in large, parallel systems.
He became Amazon CTO early in 2005 and later that year was named VP. He's had a vision of a new type of distributed system, one that relied on inexpensive parts but could scale out infinitely, making the Amazon Compute Cloud elastic and not come to a halt if a piece of hardware failed underneath it. He was an advocate of Amazon getting into the business of distributing virtual server computing cycles over the Internet and charging on a basis of time, and got the chance to advocate enterprises adopt it as Amazon's first "outward facing" CTO. He has been a tireless evangelizer for greater use of the Amazon public cloud. His expertise, commitment and credibility were essential to establishing the broad acceptance that Amazon Web Services enjoyed from an early stage.

November 9, 2012
Former Cricket Canada Treasurer and Umpiring Coordinator Mr. Colin Harvey passed away Sunday in Toronto. A fixture for decades on the T&DCA umpiring circuit, Harvey left an indelable mark on cricket in Canada.
Colin Hoare, a friend and colleague of Mr. Harvey, offered the following tribute.
"If ever there was an individual whose work extended over more aspects of the game of cricket in the Toronto area than nearly all others, the name of that person is Colin Harvey. Cricket coach, supplier of cricket equipment, highly-respected umpire, dedicated committee member, and thoughtful analyst & contributor when it came to establishing local rules for league competitions – Colin was all of these.
"Colin umpired games in the Toronto & District Cricket League for over two decades. In that time, he earned both the admiration & respect of players & club officials alike for his fairness and for his knowledge of the laws. As the Treasurer of the Canadian Cricket Association, he made sure that the limited funds that were available were put to good use. When the Toronto & District Cricket Association needed help from an umpiring standpoint to ensure that the local rules for the 50-over competition were drafted properly, it was Colin who stepped forward to provide suitable insight.
"Colin is one of those people that one can honestly say made the game of cricket better for the many ways in which he participated. His impact on the game will be remembered for many years to come."
A service will be held on Tuesday November 13 at the Church of the Transfiguration 111 Manor Rd East at 1 PM followed by a celebration of his life at the Toronto Cricket Club 141 Wilson Ave Toronto
Cricket Canada extends its deepest condolences on behalf of all cricketers in Canada to Mr. Harvey's family.

It's all about Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals this Thanksgiving, but what about deals before Black Friday?
Plenty of retailers, such as Target, Toys 'R' Us and Amazon.com, have already kicked off the holiday season with incredibly low prices on high-end items with online-only specials.
Pre-Black Friday Sales
Here are two retailers holding pre-Black Friday sales:
Target has pre-Black Friday deals online and in-store until Wednesday, Nov. 23.
In addition to the great deals, Target is also supplying coupons for the items on sale on its website. Sale items include electronics, toys and household items.
But Black Friday sales are what it's all about, and Target has a slew of hot items at great prices. In the electronics department, you can find hot buys on the Kindle 3G, a PS3 bundle and a TOMTOM GPS system. Then there are the toys, clothes and household items with door buster prices. And for those deals, you have to wait until Friday.
Toys 'R' Us
Toys 'R' Us has special deals on Leapfrog books and Leapster learning games, select LEGO games and Radio Flyer Scooters.

Overstock.com also offers some great steals on jewelry and designer frocks.
Another pre-Black Friday, retailer is Amazon.com. Amazon has started their time-released lightning deals on Monday, Nov. 21, and they will run all week long. Amazon.com did this last year to entice online holiday sales, and this year it's taken off in force; in less than an hour from its 4 p.m. release time, a Haurex Italy Men's Red Arrow U.C. Sampdoria Chronograph Tachymeter Rubber Watch that retails for $800, sold out for $99. The same goes for the Blu-Ray Pulp Fiction DVD for $3.99 from its $19.99 list price — and when it's gone, it's gone.

Black Friday Deals
Many, many retailers are boasting great Black Friday deals, but here are a few:

Apple is also discounting its accessories such as the iPad 2 Smart Cover, the Apple Wireless Keyboard and the Apple Wireless Magic Trackpad.

A Wisconsin state lawmaker is seeking co-sponsorship for a bill that would require veterinarians to report all cases of animal abuse to law enforcement or humane society officers.
Sen. Fred Risser is a Democrat from Madison. He says mistreating animals is a serious crime and veterinarians can help better identify and prevent it.
Current state law only requires veterinarians to report abuses when an animal is suspected to have been engaged in animal fighting. The law won't punish them if they failed to report.
The bill would provide veterinarians with civil immunity for good faith reporting of abuses. Risser says 29 states have such laws in place.

Sounds like you broke something. No bueno.
Hi everyone,
Im experiencing problems with BT3 and all my system... duh, BIG PROBLEMS actually:
this is (was) layout of my system:
Everything had been working just fine, but then I downloaded BT3 iso, burned it, booted it up, did nothing but browsed bt wiki with firefox.Code:sda1 - 25GB - vfat - win xp system partition sda2 - ~90GB - vfat - data partition sda3 - 25GB - ext3 - gentoo system partition sda4 - rest - swap - shared swap mbr - grub dualboot
then reboot ed and WHOA?!?!? /dev/sda1 cant be mounted (bad superblock or unknown fs), winxp cant be booted, sda1 cant be read with any win/dos/linux system.
Obviously BT3 f***ed up my sda1 partition.
(note: I remember that during startup BT3 wrote something about NTFS on sda1, but hey, there was vfat...)
Any ideas what BT3 did to my sda1 partition?
or better how to fix it?
Sounds like you broke something. No bueno.
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!
well I know perfectly that this was not my fault... all I have done is:
everything works fine, then I boot up bt3beta, start firefox, browse web, close, reboot. thats all...
I blame bt3 startup scripts what do they do? Do they attempt to mount first partition or something?
No Im pretty sure I didnt do this, all Ive done is booting bt3 and browsing web with friefox. before this action everything was fine...
I suspect bt3 startup scripts, what do they do? Do they attempt to mount first partition or something?
Personaly I blame bt3 startup scripts, what do they do? Do they attempt to mount first partition or somehitng like that?

Rain and snow over the past several weeks have helped beat the drought into remission across much of the Corn Belt, but as 48 percent of the country remains in moderate or worse drought, more states brace for another year of drought.
In the thirsty heartland, in particular, some states are split between improving and worsening drought.
According to the latest Drought Monitor report, 23 percent of Kansas and 9 percent of Oklahoma remains under exceptional drought. The spread of this drought in both states has been doused with welcomed rain and even been eliminated in some eastern counties.
In the western half of these states, however, the Drought Monitor tells a different story. Rain bypassed western Oklahoma and Kansas, leaving these areas in extreme or worse drought.
Further to the west and south, the Drought Monitor paints a grim picture. Intense drought is returning to Texas, New Mexico and Colorado as it creeps its way further west. Conditions in New Mexico, in particular, have declined dramatically over the last month. In early April, 4 percent of the state was in exceptional drought -- this week, that number stands at 40 percent.
Click here to see the full Drought Monitor map.
However, residents in these parched states have turned the pressure of drought into a resurgence of faith. The Associated Press reports that the tension from three years of hot, dry weather has pushed more people to turn to religion. From Christian preachers and Catholic priests to American Indiana Tribes, more and more are turning to faith because, as active church member pointed, "praying can't hurt."
Read, "Praying for rain: Drought across the West spurs resurgence of faith."
The impending drought in the west has also prompted officials in Oregon, a state better known for its wet weather, to warn that irrigation will likely have to be shut off to many of the 200 farms and ranches in the upper Klamath Basin. Read more here.

Given the recent history of UBS, it is fair to ask if Kweku Adoboli is a rogue trader or his employer is a rogue bank.
At one level, Mr Adoboli might appear to fit neatly into the stereotype of the rogue trader, a phenomenon that recurs so often that it is an endemic aspect of modern investment banking. He is young, fairly junior and works on a desk that combined proprietary position-taking with "flow trading" in customer orders.
The latter has in the past allowed rogue traders such as Nick Leeson of Barings and Jérôme Kerviel of Société Générale, to conceal losses while appearing to be doing what their employers wanted. Mr Adoboli has been arrested but not charged, let alone convicted, so he has the presumption of innocence. Read more

i have been using IDLE to write python scripts and have an application that requires auto-starting IDLE and then automatically running a script. Apparently i can use the command line option:
idle -s myfile.py
to do this. This opens the script for editing and opens the python idle shell but does not run the script. I also understand that i can use the idle environment variable $IDLESTARTUP to do the same thing however i have no idea how to do this.
Does anybody know what is the best option is and how to correctly do it.
Any help is much appreciated.
