Actually it just the LabView app that we use to calculate 6703 offset and gain calibration data that I don't have the source code to. The app that runs our full-up PCI chassis and is driving the Arb Cards is all in C/C++ and I have all that source and I wrote all of that. I agree that there is some missing or changed element to the Arb Card API that my code had used that has changed somehow.
Correction on running Soft Front Panel and loading Arbitraty wf files. I had only loaded lvm files and they worked, I just now tried loading the two *.bin files and they both locked up the Front Panel App.
I doubt the file format is the issue here. I'd be more concerned on the number of samples. My guess is that the 5411 driver doesn't use DMA for waveforms that are less than 1024 samples and it does for larger waveforms. And a combination of the 5411 hardware, your system, and Windows XP made DMA not work. If you can verify the waveform size issue by running modified LabVIEW examples or something like that, that would be great info.
The next step would be, unfortunately, to try the board out on a different slot, perhaps even directly on the PC itself.
I did try loading different waveform sizes as I stated earlier. Any size from minimum of 256 to 768 load with no issue, if I go up to 1023 sometimes even that fails. A size of 1024 always fails. Are there any documented bug reports with DMA not working with 5411 and NI-FGEN 2.9?
Hi MKrause,
I heard from one of our other engineers that you called in and have a service request open now. I will do what I can to help him resolve your issue on that end.

My my, everyone around the world just had the great idea to turn Valentine's Day into a marriage equality campaign stunt, didn't they? That flash mob in Iowa, and a giant cake in Australia. Which is fitting, because after you stuff your face with all those simple sugars, you're gonna need a create workout to burn things off.

The Marin Headlands are expected to be busy with motorists hoping to get a glimpse of the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels as Fleet Week activities return to the Bay Area.
Fleet Week is just one of a number of events that have officials warning the public of busy roads and bridges in and out of Marin over the course of the weekend.
The precision Blue Angel flight team was visible Thursday from Southern Marin as flight crews practiced for the 31st annual Fleet Week festivities. The Navy's team will continue to hold practice flights from 12:30 to 4 p.m. Friday. Air shows will be from 12:30 to 4 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. Fleet Week events are expected to draw 300,000 visitors a day to the San Francisco Bay waterfront.
Viewing spots in Sausalito and the Marin Headlands, including Point Bonita, Conzelman Road vista points, Kirby Cove and Fort Baker fill up early every year, Golden Gate National Recreation Area officials said.
"There is always very limited parking in the Headlands on Fleet Week," said Alex Picavet, spokeswoman for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. "We will close areas as they fill up."
In addition to Fleet Week, a myriad of activities will occur this weekend on the bay and in San Francisco: the America's Cup World Series regatta, the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass music festival in Golden Gate Park, the Italian Heritage Parade in North Beach, Giants baseball playoff games, as well as 49ers, Stanford and Cal football games, among other events.
Golden Gate Transit will provide added bus service over the weekend into San Francisco. Two ferries will be provided for the pair of Giants playoff games.
Golden Gate Bridge officials said getting in and out of Marin could be a challenge with so many events going on.
"It's likely to be bad and heavy all weekend on the bridge," said Mary Currie, bridge district spokeswoman. "We will change lanes on the bridge at times to accommodate all the activities. People will have to be patient this weekend."
Transit and bridge information for the weekend is available at www.goldengate.org.
In addition to roadways, the waters of the bay itself will be busy. In anticipation of Fleet Week and the America's Cup activities, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is warning boaters, ship's captains, parasailers, paddlers and others to steer clear of whales, porpoises, dolphins, sea lions and seals, and to observe federal vessel operating guidelines.
"A collision with a marine mammal can have severe impacts on the animal, ship, boater or paddler," said Mary Jane Schramm, Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary spokeswoman.
The National Weather Service is predicting a pleasant fall weekend in the Bay Area after the recent warm spell, with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid to high 60s.

Warminster residents are being invited to play a key role in a campus project that will help shape an exciting future for the town.
The Warminster campus is one of 18 projects being created across Wiltshire to bring together services and facilities tailored to the needs of local people.
Campuses will be accessible to everyone in their community area and will feature flexible spaces for Wiltshire Council and partner services.
Residents are being invited to give their views on what they want and need in their community campus in an online survey available at www.warminster.ourcommunitymatters.org.uk
Paper copies of the survey can be collected from and returned to Warminster Sports Centre, Warminster Library, Wave, the youth centre, schools, the Civic Centre and the Athenaeum.
The survey results will be considered by the Shadow Community Operations Board (Shadow COB) a group of local volunteers who report to the area board and who will develop proposals for the campus.
The Shadow COB will also be contacting groups and organisations during March and April to gather their views and to ask them to make their members aware of the consultation which runs until Friday May 16 2014.
Chair of the Shadow COB Cllr Keith Humphries said: "This is an exciting opportunity for Warminster area people to have their say and be involved in this fantastic development of future services and facilities for the Warminster community area and I would encourage people to take the time to fill in this form and be involved."
Anyone with questions about the Warminster campus project can email firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 01225 718350.

Kellie Pickler Shaves Her Head
Kellie Pickler's blonde locks have been one of the singer's defining features since her introduction to fans via "American Idol" in 2006. But she has now sacrificed her signature look, getting her head shaved in a show of support for her best friend. Summer Holt Miller, a childhood friend whom Kellie refers to as her "sister" was just 36 years old when she learned she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Kellie, who saw Summer throughout her prognosis and subsequent treatment, stood alongside her friend Tuesday (Sept 4) in Nashville, as the inseparable duo both buzzed their hair to bring awareness to the importance of early detection.
Kellie and Summer revealed their new 'dos on ABC's "Good Morning America," and also spoke about their lifelong bond, with Kellie explaining further her reasons for shedding her tresses.
"Cancer does not discriminate," the 26-year-old explained. "If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram," Summer added, "then it will be worth it."
A behind-the-scenes video capturing the cuts — along with candid chat about Summer's diagnosis and treatment will be shared at www.athenawater.com. Athena Water will make a monetary donation to the American Cancer Society in Summer's honor, and will contribute a minimum of $2 million to support breast cancer awareness, care, education and research by 2014. For every bottle of water purchased, a portion of the proceeds benefits breast cancer awareness.
"So many people feel helpless when a loved one is diagnosed with breast cancer," says Athena CEO Dillon Schickli. "Athena gives everyone the chance to make a difference, with every bottle of water, 365 days of the year."

Incidentally, this isn't the first change Kellie has made to her hair since her "Idol" debut. Remember this look she sported briefly in 2009?

Q&A: The Silent Legend
An Interview with Alfons Mayer, the globe-travelling tobacco buyer for General Cigar Co.
(continued from page 11)
In January, the 78-year-old Mayer allowed senior editor David Savona into his Warren, New Jersey, home, a repository of memorabilia, notes and photos from Mayer's endless trips througout the world—almost a museum of tobacco. Filing cabinets brim with information from his decades in the business, including the book of notes he kept from his five-year apprenticeship in Cuba that began in 1952. Newspaper and magazine clippings hang on the walls in the few spaces not occupied by photographs of his family and cigar industry luminaries. A cabinet humidor amid the carefully organized clutter of his office holds cigars from decades ago as well as today, and two upstairs rooms have been converted into humidified storage for thousands of his very own Alfons Mayer cigars. Ashtrays of various colors and shapes cover nearly every table—Mayer still smokes six or seven cigars a day. The interview began over Alfons Mayer cigars and concluded with two Montecristo No. 1 lonsdales put in the box in 1959.
David Savona: Let's go back and talk about your history in the tobacco business.
Alfons Mayer: I grew up in a tobacco family. I was born in 1927. My grandfather had a company named A. Mayer & Co. They were the Sumatra sandblatt kings.
Q: And sandblatt is?
A: Sandblatt is the bottom leaves, the last three leaves on the plant. Sandleaf, they call it, because it is sandy soil.
Q: So your grandfather founded A. Mayer, and your father was in the business as well. Where were you born?
A: In Amsterdam.
Q: What was it like growing up there?
A: Ah, it was great, because you're an innocent bystander as a kid. But then you have to realize that in 1940, the [German] invasion came, and it was rotten.
Q: What did you do?
A: I never finished my last grade of high school, because all schools were closed in Holland. I was picked up one time by the Germans in a train. Got out of it, don't ask me how. It was a football game in the Olympic Stadium in Holland. The Germans closed all the doors and picked up everybody from 15 and up and picked me up and then I got out. I walked home. And then it was recommended—through a friend that had a buddy from the Gestapo—she advised me to get out of Amsterdam as soon as possible because they were going to take young people to work in the factories in Germany. I took my bicycle—it was eight, nine o'clock—and I knew exactly the farm where I wanted to go, which was owned by [Willem] Schermerhorn, who became prime minister after the war. I worked for him the last two years of the war. And my duty was to teach American pilots how to eat. You see, I don't tell these stories to everyone, because I hate to talk about it. But we had to train them how to eat, how to dress and how to shut up. And that's the way we brought them to Belgium.
Q: Why were you teaching American soldiers how to eat?
A: The Americans eat with a fork only. They cut the pancakes with a fork, they cut the eggs with a fork, they never go fork and knife. So they would go for breakfast at six or seven o'clock, and two Gestapo people stand in front of them. They would pick them up and send them to prison camp. We would teach them. They would come one by one into the house, and we would give them lessons. I'm half-Jew, my father's Jewish.
Q: Was that why you were in danger from the Germans?
A: No. I never had a star. My name was very Jewish, but I'm blond and blue eyes.
Q: So the entire country was controlled by the Germans?
A: They controlled the cities, but they didn't dare go into the polders [the part of the Netherlands reclaimed from the water, and crisscrossed by dykes]. The Germans couldn't get on these dykes. The war started [in the Netherlands] on the fifth of May, 1940. I got away the end of 1942 to the polders. I was there until 1945 on the tenth of May, when the war was over [in Europe]. Then Willem Schermerhorn became the prime minister, immediately, and he called me and he said, "Go to Antwerp to the Argentinean consulate and get your papers." I was the first one out, with 12 other people, to Buenos Aires. Twenty-one days on that boat, I'll never forget it. Everybody was sick, and I had to milk cows.
Q: You had to milk cows on the boat?
A: Yes—that was the first export from Holland. Cows. I went to Buenos Aires to see my father [who had left the Netherlands prior to the invasion] and stay there.
Q: So you started working with your father in the tobacco business?
A: Immediately. I didn't know a word of Spanish. He said, "Here's the paper, tell them who you are, and go to every cigar store you can." I was selling cigars, pipe tobacco, you name it. If it belonged to tobacco, he had it.
Q: When did you visit your first tobacco field?
A: In Cuba. 1952. I went to General Cigar Co. of Cuba.
Q: What was that first trip like?
A: Work until the cows come home! [Laughs.] Work, don't open up your mouth, and work.
Q: Were you with your father?
A: No. I left my father in 1952. I said, "What you know about tobacco I will never learn, because you are interested in selling your products. I want to learn tobacco." So when I got to Havana, I had to get a license to stay and work in Havana. And we kept on moving bales, all the time. My hands were open, bloody. And then one guy comes up to me and says, 'You can get rid of that in two days. Piss on your hands.' It worked—they became leather. They are still leather. I spent six months moving bales. They were aging the leaf for almost two years in yagua, palm bark.
Q: What was your title when you started with General?
A: Learning tobacco in Cuba.
Q: So you were an apprentice?
A: Yes. They were so sure I could make it, and not break me, after I pissed enough times on my hands, I could do what I wanted. And then the people, the top management of Cuba, was fantastic. In Cabaiguan, in Santa Clara, in Remedios, in Pinar del Río—all these areas were top-notch people. They had tobacco talking to them. It took me two years before I found out how tobacco talks to me. They were masters. And I had a hard time. I said I'll never get it. I'll never get it. I wrote everything down they told me at night. And I can show you that. I have never thrown anything away.
Q: Have you always been that way?
A: Always. You saw that attic? A minefield. [Laughs.]
Q: And you still have your notes from Cuba?
A: I have every farmer's name.

The life of a fat cell is not as simple as it looks
Life inside a fat cell may be as complex as the universe itself.
That's the conclusion of a group of Sydney scientists who surveyed for the first time the contents of the cells most of us would rather live without.
Scientists can now use this map to understand what goes awry in the cells of people with diseases like diabetes and obesity.
The team, led by researchers from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, found individual fat cells contained multiple copies of between 10 000 and 12 000 proteins, each of which could be modified into up to 20 different versions of themselves. Proteins perform the work of every cell in the body.
The fat cells, collected from mice, were treated with insulin, a hormone released by the pancreas after eating which instructs muscle, liver and fat cells to absorb glucose from the blood.
They found 15 per cent of the cell's proteins responded to the hormone's signals, which no longer functioned properly in people with diabetes.
''Until this study we did not really appreciate the scale of insulin regulation, which represents something as complex as the universe itself in every cell of our body,'' said the research leader, David James, from the Garvan.
The findings re-enforce the elaborate biological processes that underpin diseases such diabetes and the difficulties scientists face treating them.
Sean Humphrey, who conducted the research as part of his PhD, said the complexity of fat cells came from the large number of proteins they contained, but also the vast number of ways these molecules could transform themselves to alter their function, a process known as phosphorylation.
''The cell has the means of communicating many different things using these mechanisms,'' said Mr Humphrey
The study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, was made possible using the latest mass spectrometers, sophisticated machines that can identify thousands of molecules by their mass and capture a complete picture of cells at work.
''This technology and methods are opening up a window into the cell to see how it communicates inside [itself] and with the rest of the body like never before,'' said Mr Humphrey.
The new approach may also lead to drug discoveries that take into account the environment of the entire cell.
Until now scientists knew of only a dozen or so proteins that responded to insulin inside fat cells.
''Unless we look at the whole picture, we are never going to figure these problem out,'' said Professor James, who has focused his research on trying to understand why cells become resistant to insulin in diseases like diabetes.
The team will now survey human fat cells from healthy people and those with diabetes.

Christmas day baby Jacob Andrews was born eight weeks early so his parents did not worry too much when he was immediately whisked away for special care.
But two days later his mum Sarah Gregory, 28, and dad Mark Andrews, 45, were told the news that he had achondroplasia – a form of dwarfism.
Ms Gregory of The Spinney, West Lavington, said: "I had never heard of the condition but when they explained it I wasn't that worried if he was just going to be small. I was just glad that he was still with us."
Jacob, now two, had to spend his first six weeks in hospital before he was allowed to go home but he never settled into an ordinary routine and had problems breathing and feeding.
When he was nearly four months old he became very ill and his mum called an ambulance. He was taken to Salisbury Hospital, where he had been born, to be stabilised and then to Southampton Hospital.
It would be another 32 weeks before Jacob was well enough to go home with his parents again.
Ms Gregory said: "We nearly lost him about four times over that Easter weekend and we were told he either had to be fitted with a tracheostomy to help his breathing or we had to say goodbye to him.
"Obviously we said yes. We had to learn very quickly a lot of medical procedures so we could get nearer to being able to bring him home."
But first the family had to be found a ground-floor home that would be suitable for Jacob and eventually they were re-housed in a small bungalow originally built as a retirement home.
Not long after the family was put in touch with Devizes Opportunity Centre and it has proved a lifeline.
She said: "It is just wonderful to have other people to talk to who understand. The staff are fantastic and they are now learning how to fit his tracheostomy so we can get nearer to the time when I can leave him in their care without me having to be there.
"When he went there he couldn't do anything at all but now he has come on leaps and bounds. He loves the sensory room and although he doesn't really play with other children he loves watching them."
Jacob has a wide range of problems that include not yet being able to sit up and only knowing a few words of language but his parents are optimistic about his future.
Ms Gregory said: "He seems to learn something new almost every time he goes to the centre. We hope he will be able to go to mainstream school in the future."
His father, who is a civilian chef with the army, said: "The opportunity centre has been great for Sarah. It has let her meet people who understand."
Why we launched appeal
The Gazette & Herald launched its Give Us A Chance appeal two weeks ago after the government axed a grant which means Devizes Opportunity Centre is facing a £10,000 cut in its funds this year.
The centre already has to raise £40,000 a year to make up the shortfall in paying for the vital services it provides for children with a wide range of disabilities.
The grant is paid through Wiltshire Council as part of its package of support but it decided it couldn't make up the shortfall.
The centre supports families in Devizes, Marlbor-ough and Pewsey and its painstaking work with youngsters and their parents can often make enough of a difference that its children can take up a place in mainstream schools.

Whats the best complete case to protect the phone?
I would think otterbox cases would be the ones to go for. They are working on the note 2 case so it shouldn't be long now. For looks, the samsung flip cover looks the business but there is no protection, it only shields the screen.
I was going to ask that so does this version not protect the corners at all then?
Buy Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (II) Official Flip Cover - Titanium Grey (EFC-1J9FSEGSTD) Reviews-
what about the complete sleeve type flexible ones, anyone got a good version of them?
Basically the flip cover is made up of a back, which is identical to the stock back on the note 2, joined to a stylish front which closes like a book. As you might expect this is mainly for looks more than protection, but it really does look cool in this case.
I am looking for a hard case/ small digital camera case for work (dusty environment) but have yet to find one that fits nicely.
You can get them cheaper than your link btw.
The official one although looking good does not look like it protects the edges of the phone it is was dropped.
This ROCK one does though, have you considered that?
Rock Ultra Thin Leather Flip Case For Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - White
How does the back connect to the phone on the offical case please?
It only really protects the screen as I said before. It really does look like it was made in tandem with this phone
and it fits to the back like your existing back cover does, you remove yours and the cover fits in its place.
For my work only a full cover with maybe a zip will do, so it's looking more like a small digi camera case if I can find one at the right dimensions.
The cover in your link does look good although not yet released. There are some nice looking cases out there for this phone however as it's so new its going to take time for them to be released.
Let me know if you find a nice pouch then, like you i need complete protection
The nearest I have come so far is this case I tried when I was in Currys the other day
It fits in nicely but looks massive in it lol, but its around
Lowepro media 30
I'm waiting for the otterbox defender but I'm sure seidio will have a nice selection of cases very soon. Those guys always come out with cases super fast.
That Rock case offers no more protection than the original Samsung. If you'll notice there's quite a bit of the bezel still exposed. You drop this puppy and all bets are off--it will get damaged.
As much as I like Samsung's for style, I cant wait to get it off my phone. I feel like a vulnerable victim every time I carry my phone--fear of dropping it.
I'm waiting for this one to arrive but I didn't order it in time for it to be here before I got the note. According to the Amazon listing, this case is made by Samsung but I don't see it anywhere on Samsung's site. For the price though, I cant beat that.
Samsung Galaxy Note II 2 N7100 PU Leather Wallet Case Cover with card slots - White
that looks quite a good case protection wise, are you getting one?
Is one side not protected with the fold of the case? I had a look at one in carphone warehouse today but they would not take it out of the box so I do not know what the material feels like.
Is it the corners of the handset which are exposed with it?
I just looked at that one. The inside pics of it don't offer any security to keep phone in place when you open it open. I see that you need to be holding it carefully so the phone doesn't fall out when you open it.
That would make me nervous.
it's gorgeous, but it looks like it has a magnetic closure
Sleeve case? Like Samsung Pouch Case for Galaxy Note II (Dark Brown) #EFC-1J9LCE - Expansys USA or EXPANSYS Slip Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Black) #SLIPCASENOTE2 - Expansys USA?
I'm leaning toward the Samsung case- but it's really only to hold me over until Sena gets their Ultraslim together.
It looks like it offers a little bit more protection than the flip one I have. Once I get it I'll take some pics. What I like about it is the closure. The flip case doesn't have one.
Lol did you post this from your phone also?
The lowepro media 30 is not a phone case thats for sure but try finding a case for the Note 2 that will preferably zip closed and be a moderate dust protector also, there is none, thats why I put this forward.
The compartments inside (which would normally hold storage cards etc) would help as my phone would probably also be in the flip cover inside this media case, also the case is the right dimensions. This is probably the most protection I could give the phone in my line of work, otterbox etc do not make these types of cases, it would only be used for work, thats what makes it more difficult to find.
Lowepro Deluxe Media Case 30 - Black: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo
I posted my link on the phone also but didn't work out so here you go.(Must have been on mobile website settings)
I have the case, the only thing that bothers me is the phone fits so tight it feels like it's going to break when I try to pull it out. This is when I want to answer the phone, I don't do speakerphone and I don't have the bt all the time. The phone just feels like I'm bending it when I take it out the hard case. I like soft cases just my preference.
Totally understandable. I get there aren't a lot of cases available. Seems most wait until after a phone release before they start making cases for it unlike the iPhone where they're making cases before the phone has it's big reveal.
Very similar to the one I ordered. I hope mine fits as tight as yours does since I've no intentions of removing it. I actually keep 2 BT headsets charged and just swap when battery dies.
I always just buy a TPU case for about $4 for all my devices and couple it up with a 3-for-$2 screen protector pack from eBay. They don't add that much weight or bulk, they're cheap, and they get the job done well enough for me. I'm also the kind of guy who takes good care of his stuff for the most part though. So they might not be as protecting as say, an otter box.
I could NEVER rock an Otterbox no matter how much protection they provide. Everything about it just screams MANly.
Haha, well then I guess I'm not that manly. >_< I just don't like them because of how much bulk they add to the phone. Plus, in my opinion, they're ugly. While I usually just stick with a plain or not-highly-decorative TPU case, they offer all kinds of designs and colors for however you want your phone to look.
Samsung USA sells a protective Case, I'll have one here next week. Got it for $15 using the 50% off code last week.

AT&T already has a pre-order link for the Otterbox Defender case ($60) ,but I'll wait for a lower price on Amazon in December.

ALBANY -- We all want to be generous and support deserving not-for-profits. But human nature being human nature, there is always the dilemma of giving to others at the cost of depriving ourselves a great night on the town.
This weekend, that dilemma is solved. Wine & Dine for the Arts, which takes place this weekend at the Hotel Albany, supports arts organizations while providing a great sampling of food and beverages.
Tonight through Saturday, there will be a number of culinary events designed to please every age and pocketbook size. As a bonus, all the money raised will be split among the Albany Symphony Orchestra, Capital Repertory Theatre, Park Playhouse, Albany Center Gallery, Albany Barn, Albany Pro Musica, Albany Institute of History and Art and the Irish Heritage Museum.
This is the fourth year for the event, which was started (and is still spearheaded) by Yono and Donna Purnomo, who own and operate Yono's and DP: an American Bistro.
Over the years, Wine & Dine for the Arts has raised $168,438. According to Purnomo, this year's expanded event should be the best yet.
The Gala Reception and Dinner at 6 p.m. Saturday, which will feature a six-course "Culinary Masterpiece" prepared by 10 of the area's finest chefs and paired with wines, is sold out, but other events offer great experiences that appeal to those who feel confined by a formal dining experience.
For example, the Slider Slam will be offered from 8 to 11 p.m. Friday. Admission is $35 and offers gourmet sliders prepared by 10 area chefs, accompanied by a great selection of craft beers.
Another of Purnomo's favorites is the Grand Tasting and Seminars from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, immediately before the Slider Slam. It offers guests the opportunity to sample 250 wines, spirits and craft beers. It will also offer an opportunity to taste food prepared by 50 area chefs noted for their innovative preparation. The cost is $60. Combine it with the Slider Slam and you have seven hours of great food and drink for $95.
One of the biggest food trends over the past few years has been gourmet coffee. This year, Wine & Dine for the Arts is cashing in on that trend. From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, the Barista Albany will feature the region's top coffee houses competing for the title Best Regional Barista. It costs $10 ($5 with a ticket to the Grand Tasting).
Also on the roster are tonight's opening reception at Albany City Hall and Friday's reception and book-signing with celebrity chef Suvir Saran from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Planning and organizing such a large event takes a dedicated work force. Purnomo said 71 chefs have volunteered their skills.
"The only thing bigger than their skill are their hearts," she said.
Purnomo gushed over the volunteers and "the countless number of dedicated people" who help organize the event throughout the year. She says it takes "11 months and 27 days" to plan.
She also expressed gratitude for sponsors like Hotel Albany, which donates the space, and Empire Merchants North, which donates so much wine and food.
Purnomo said it is a labor of love for all involved.
"Everyone who helps recognizes the importance of the arts as an important community resource. A healthy arts community defines the sophistication of a city," she said. "However, not everyone understands the arts are an economic driver. Last year, 85,000 people came downtown because Capital Rep produced quality theater. Many of those people eat at restaurants, stay in hotels or make other purchases. I can tell you, the night Capital Rep is dark, most downtown restaurants are empty."
Purnomo adamantly argues that the arts are under-funded.
"My wish is that we can give each organization a check for $20,000," she said. "It might not sound like much, but for some it could be the difference in making payroll and staying open for another season. For others, it could help purchase a piece of equipment that might make their shows a little better.
"I can't think of anything I'd rather do than help an arts organization survive and prosper. The arts are good for all of us."

SHEPHERDSVILLE - After months of discussion, it appears the Shepherdsville-Bullitt County Tourist and Convention Commission may be close to the first phase of the Paroquet Springs Conference Centre McDowell Room expansion project.
That is if commissioners can agree to move forward.
During their recent monthly meeting, commissioners discussed preliminary plans to construct a decorative patio off the McDowell Room.

Following on from the Royal Rumble I thought I would discuss the options of where the WWE is going to go next on the road to Wrestlemania.
Firstly, let me say I have nothing against the Rock at all and actually enjoyed the match last night and don't mind him being WWE Champion but I do feel it has already cheapened Wrestlemania as we all know the Rock is not going to stick around long
First time blogger here typing immediately after watching Night of Champions and here are my thoughts.
I have a lot of respect for John Cena, he's clearly a work horse and he makes a hell of a lot of money for the WWE, but for the love of god when are they going to realize that he doesn't need the WWE Title?
Once again Creative ruin an up and coming star by giving him a month

Here's a thread from e-sangha that has been on my mind for awhile now. If what Robert and Kevin are saying is true then my practice has been way off base. I've also asked what then do they recommend and I'm still a bit fuzzy.
Any thoughts

Sometimes stocks, like people, get tired. I think D.R. Horton (DHI) got tired Monday. It started out with a roar, up almost $1, and went out with a nap -- down $1.20, and looking like it was down for the count.
You would think there was something wrong with the quarter, which was the company's best in five years. I think that, actually, pound for pound, this report was much better than results from five years ago -- because this time Horton is selling to real people, or at least it says it is. It's not selling to speculators who turned out to be the company's worst enemy.
I am sure that, once the stock started falling, there were people who found things they didn't like. But, believe me, they didn't find anything they didn't like when the conference call was on.
This was simply a case of a stock being up more than 50% -- one from which many people have profited -- and the company didn't blow away numbers to the point at which you had to take up shares. Instead, Horton just did a good, solid job which is no longer enough in this market -- not with visions of fiscal cliff dancing in our heads.
There was a lot to like about the quarter. Horton has made an acquisition that gives it more land. It has reclaimed land that had been written off. It achieved nice margins on new homes. Further, it's seeing lots of demand and frequency of transactions, even despite how hard it is to get a loan.
I just think that, in the end, investors were looking for a reason to sell -- and, right now, a good reason to sell is simply that everyone else is selling. You figure, if you have a big capital gain, what's the harm? That's especially so when even the sacrosanct mortgage deduction is on the table.
Yes, the "what's the harm" selling is now out in full force until we find out what the new tax rates are. If they are roughly the same, then it might pay to stay in a Horton simply because you'll get to defer the event until a time that is more suited for you, as long as the business is OK.
Nobody likes to pay taxes anyway.
Otherwise, though, you can simply say, "I didn't like what I saw in the southern markets," or "they sounded worried." In fact, it was "all systems go" for the company, but the stock? It needs some beauty sleep.

N.C. State fired football coach Tom O'Brien on Sunday, the university announced Sunday.
The News & Observer first reported O'Brien's dismissal.
The Wolfpack beat Boston College 27-10 on Saturday to finish 7-5 with a bowl game to be decided. The bowl trip will be N.C. State's third consecutive under O'Brien and fourth in his six seasons at N.C. State since being hired before the 2007 season from Boston College. Offensive coordinator Dana Bible will serve as the team's interim coach in the bowl game.
"Coach O'Brien's service to NC State over the last six years has been sincerely appreciated by Wolfpack Nation," athletic director Debbie Yow said in a statement. "We especially appreciate his attention toward NCAA rules compliance, a value that will continue to be held by NC State. We wish him well in future pursuits."
O'Brien was 11-19 against Atlantic Division opponents in the ACC, including 1-14 on the road.
O'Brien completes his tenure in Raleigh, N.C., at 40-35 overall and 22-26 in the ACC. His contract pays him at least $1.2 million through December 2015, the News & Observer reported.
The newspaper reported that Vanderbilt coach James Franklin will likely be the top target for athletic director Debbie Yow. She hired Franklin as offensive coordinator and eventual replacement to Ralph Friedgen when she was at Maryland, but that didn't happen when Friedgen was later fired and Franklin took the job at Vanderbilt.
On Saturday, Vanderbilt beat Wake Forest to improve to 8-4 with its sixth consecutive victory.
Before coming to N.C. State, O'Brien spent 10 seasons at Boston College, where he was 75-45 and 37-34 in conference play that included eight seasons in the Big East and two in the ACC.
"I appreciate the opportunity to have coached at North Carolina State University and I feel that the program is in a better place now than when I started," O'Brien said in a statement. "I'm proud of the young men that I have coached here, for their accomplishments on the field and in the classroom. Wolfpack football is as sound academically as it's ever been with a (single year) APR of 990 to be reported this spring. I appreciate all of my coaches and wish them the best and I look forward to life after football."

Ok, during one possesion of todays game McNair took the snap and he was about to get sacked. I beleive there were two Colts defenders on him.
He brushed off the first one and before the second one could sack him he just threw the ball to the ground.
Do any of you remember this possesion?
My question is, why was he not called for "intentional grounding"? I looked back on the replay and thought maybe he had a receiver close to him, but he was all by himself and was clearly in the pocket.

5. Take advantage of "nutritionally dense" holiday foods
Perhaps you've never thought of traditional holiday foods as a nutritional gift. You may have considered those 10 pounds you gained from holiday eating more of a nutritional wake-up call than a gift. Fortunately, many holiday food staples can supply our bodies with a multitude of health-enhancing nutrients and when consumed in moderation, can actually become year-round nutritional staples. So during this holiday season, be sure to include these health enhancing foods:
6. Offer to bring a healthy dish to holiday parties
If you're concerned about the unhealthy array of foods that are bound to be served at an upcoming function, call the host ahead of time to see if you can bring a healthy dish. Chances are, the host will be happy to have some help with the overwhelming task of pleasing a hungry crowd!
For appetizers, you could bring a vegetable platter with low-fat dip; a colorful fruit platter with a dip made from nonfat yogurt blended with a dab of fat-free cool whip garnished with roasted chestnuts; whole wheat pita triangles served with hummus; or baked tortilla chips with chunky salsa and/or fat-free refried bean dip.

I agree, but I still like the sound of throwing an ex-girlfriend in a mosh pit.

I wonder if any of the Pacers listen to rock music?

Well, it's hard to stay faithful to God, so any time I listen to music, I may as well listen to something that will lift my spirits high. Plus, Christian music artists are so annointed with the spirit that their talent level is amazing.
I would say either him or Hans.
I could see Dunleavy rockin' out.
I must say though, bands such as Haste The Day, August Burns Red, As I lay Dying, and War Of Ages play with an strong and passionate emotion. Them being a christian band is just a stronger + to me. I do respect your choices strongly.
The bands I listed above are by far the bands I listen to the most ( all the time actually lol ) I will also throw some Unearth, Trivium, In flames, and a few others into my playlists from time to time. And I've heard the whole, "Their lyrics point at god in negative ways here and there" , but to be honest with you, I really listen to Metal because of the musical talent and influence. I really only pay attention the lyrics from my favorite bands.
Follow me at @Bluejbgold
Listening to (Playlist) :
Evergreen Terrace- Chaney Can't Quite Riff Like Helmet's Page Ham
A Day To Remember- The Plot To Bomb The Panhandle
Breaking Benjamin- Blow Me Away
As I lay Dying- Meaning In Tragedy
As I Lay Dying- Within Destruction
August Burns Red- Ocean Of Apathy
August Burns Red- Back Burner
Follow me at @Bluejbgold
No I thank you for asking, and I especially thank you for calling me a hardcore Christian haha.
The Sufferer & The Witness is my favorite CD, but Paper Wings is my favorite song.
Listening to:
August Burns Red- Meddler
Bullet For My Valentine- Suffocating Under Words of Sorrow
Bullet For My Valentine- 10 Years Today
Disturbed- Rise
Rage Against the Machine- Calm Like a Bomb
Atreyu- When Two Are One
Breaking Benjamin- Polyamorous

In reading the grip article, I saw that the disc should be oriented parallel with the forearm, and along or above the seam of the hand. I incorporated that into my throw and immediately saw an improvement in my ability to get a nose down trajectory.
Several months later, however, it finally clicked in my head about gripping harder at the 'hit' to get more snap/spin. The problem is that I find that I seem to get a way stronger grip when it's below the seam of my hand, now. I find that by really squeezing hard at the point of release I get a lot more snap, but I can only do it with the disc below the seam. Anyone else find this problem?
When the disc is at or above the seam of my hand, the disc has a much greater tendency to slip out early.
It drives me crazy, because the hard squeeze at release added about 40' to my drives, but I can only do it with the below seam grip. And I don't want to start down a wrong path.

Rare discs look good on the wall and may help lower your scores. I prefer throwing fly dye for the colors and collecting old discs that
A: catch my eye with a cool stamp or
B: I think I can sell for a small profit.
I have 500 fly dyes and some unusual older discs you can view/purchase/ make trade offers (see website below). I am unfortunately a habitual golf disc collector and have many boxes full of discs that I just want to keep....this stash rarely sees the light of day and includes tournament stamps of places I've been...3 discs (CE Valks) from Players Packages at the first USDGC, Climo 3-12 Time World Champion stamps with his autograph, most of the Champion Rocs that exist and on and on...I look at it in the light of ball golf....50 years from now they might have real value but now they are just cool to have...I might post pics if interest is shown...let me know if you want to see 'em...

11. Submission of a graduate level writing sample (e.g., term paper, thesis, etc.).
12. International Students: Because this is a summers-only program, the Office of Graduate Admissions will issue the I-20 with the caveat that this is a summer-only program and that the student will be in the U.S. only during those periods when courses requiring residency are occurring (i.e., maximum length of time: mid-March through the end of July; minimum length of time: two-week residency, typically the first two weeks of June). (See: http://international.cua.edu/immigrationbasics/index.cfm)
Components of the Program
a. A minimum of 30 credit hours (i.e., 10 three-credit courses) beyond the M. Div. or its equivalent. At least two additional semesters of doctoral project guidance (1 credit per semester) are also required.
b. Maintenance of a grade point average of at least a 3.0 for coursework is mandatory.
c. Nine of the ten required courses are taught in the summer during a semester that runs approximately from April 1 to July 15. Students take three courses over three consecutive summers during this time period. A two-week residency is part of each summer semester and is usually scheduled around the first two weeks of June.
d. The tenth course is an online seminar course to prepare the student for their project proposal, project and treatise.
2. Project, Treatise and Oral Presentation:
a. During coursework, the student begins the process of identifying a significant ministerial problem or pressing pastoral issue in need of resolution or development that will become the basis for a project and treatise. The project and treatise will incorporate appropriate interdisciplinary resources and theologically and pastorally relevant methods for its resolution.
b. Preparation of the Project Proposal: After completing the Doctor of Ministry Seminar, possessing 21 credit hours and being admitted to doctoral candidacy, the student submits a project proposal to the D. Min. Proposal Committee for approval.
c. Completion of Project: Upon receipt of a formal letter of approval of the project from the Dean of the School of Theology and Religious Studies, the student conducts the project in ministry within the specified time period approved by the Dean.
d.

Letting people vote for things is how America ended up with Jimmy Carter, purple M&Ms and Taylor Hicks. It's also why EA Sports will be stuck with either Michael Vick(notes) or Peyton Hillis(notes) (yes, Peyton Hillis) on the cover of Madden '12.
The two players are in the finals of the Madden '12 cover vote, having made it through four rounds of a 32-player bracket on ESPN.com. From now until April 27, fans can vote for either the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback or the Cleveland Browns running back as the new cover athlete for the biggest video game in sports. The winner will be announced that afternoon on "SportsNation."
Vick was a No. 3 seed in his 16-player bracket and easily outpaced DeMarcus Ware(notes), Andre Johnson(notes), Patrick Willis(notes) and Adrian Peterson to reach the final. The 10th-seeded Hillis had a Butler-like run through his bracket, squeaking through an early matchup against Matt Ryan(notes) and then upsetting top-seeded Aaron Rodgers(notes) to reach the final.

Bill Evans' Soulgrass and Guests to Play The Blue Note, 2/26-3/3
Bill Evans' Soulgrass returns to the Blue Note this February/March for a week of shows with a star-studded lineup and all-star band audiences have come to expect from this Stellar genre-bending group.
Says Bill, "I have been very inspired over the past several years sitting in and playing with groups like The Allman Brothers, Warren Haynes, Blues Traveler, and the Tedeschi/Trucks band...they all push the threshold of music. The music we will play this time at the Blue Note incorporates everyone's unique personality and musicianship."
Special guest keyboardist John Medeski joins the group for the entire week-long run. Other special guests include harmonica player John Popper of Blues Traveler, guitarist Eric Krasno of Soulive and Lettuce, and guitarist Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee. The band's regular lineup features Bill Evans (sax, vocals), Etienne Mbappe (bass, vocals), Josh Dion (drums, lead vocals), Ryan Cavanaugh (electric banjo, vocals), and Mitch Stein (guitar, vocals).
The concerts will take place on Tuesday - Sunday, February 26 - March 3, 8:00pm and 10:30pm; Guests: John Popper (2/26-28), Eric Krasno (2/26-27), Jake Cinninger (2/28-3/1) at The Blue Note, 131 West 3rd Street, New York, NY. Tickets: $20-35.
Grammy-winning saxophonist Bill Evans first joined Miles Davis's group in 1980 at the age of 22. He went on to record six records and tour the world with Davis numerous times over a four year period. He then toured and recorded with John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Herbie Hancock, Lee Ritenour, Dave Grusin, Steps Ahead, and Mick Jagger, among others, garnering Grammys along the way.
Since 1990, Evans has been touring almost exclusively with his own band, playing well over 100 concerts Worldwide per year. He has recorded 19 solo albums including his latest, Dragonfly (2011), receiving two Grammy nominations in the process. Throughout his more than 20-year career as a solo artist, he has explored a variety of musical settings that go well beyond the confines of traditional jazz, including rock, hip-hop, jam, fusion, soul, and slamming funk. He recently stepped into more adventurous territory with his 2006 Grammy-nominated release Soulgrass, blending jazz, funk, and bluegrass into a seamless and wholly unique hybrid of quintessentially American styles.
His follow-up to that widely acclaimed project found him pushing the envelope a little further in the hybrid direction on 2008's The Other Side of Something. "It's an extension of Soulgrass...so it seemed like a very natural thing for me to do." Evans returned to the studio to produce and record the third Soulgrass album Dragonfly, his latest effort, in 2011. Of the record, Evans says, "This CD is a melting pot of styles that work very well together. I have been working with banjo together with the guitar for over six years and, at this point, we have created our own sound. It is Americana-meets-soul-meets-jazz in a new kind of way. There are no boundaries here."
A member of Soulgrass since early 2006, banjoist Ryan Cavanaugh has explored the stylistic potentials of the banjo and electric banjo for over 20 years. The immensely talented drummer Josh Dion simultaneously sings and plays drums like only he can do, in his own unique and soulful way. Both he and Bill co-wrote many of the new songs on the new CD, Dragonfly. Fresh from touring with his own band, Cameroonian electric bassist Etienne Mbappe wears black silk gloves when he plays and got his start with the Zawinul Syndicate. New Yorker Mitch Stein is best known for his work with David Sanborn, The Brecker Brothers, and Steve Kimock. It is this combination of style and talent that make Soulgrass what it is.
Club Policies: Doors open at 6pm nightly. Reservations highly recommended - available online or by calling the club at (212) 475-8592. Reservations held no later than 30 minutes prior to showtime. Seating is first come, first served. We DO seat incomplete parties. American Express Preferred Seating available at www.bluenotejazz.com. Full dinner menu available and full bar with all premier liquors, domestic, and international beer available nightly. There is a $5 food/drink minimum per person, per set. No reservations are accepted for the bar - it is only available at the door, the night of the show.

Blue Jays release former first-round pick Cooper
BRADENTON, Fla. -- The Blue Jays officially cut ties with David Cooper on Wednesday morning by releasing their former first-round pick.
Cooper originally had been expected to start the year at Triple-A Buffalo but was unable to participate in Spring Training because of a back injury.
The Blue Jays described the back problem as serious and said Cooper was in the process of setting up appointments with several specialists. He is not expected to play this season, and it's unclear when Cooper will be able to resume his baseball career.
Cooper suffered a back injury late last season while diving into first base on a pickoff attempt. It was originally described as a jammed neck, but later changed to discomfort in his upper back area.
Toronto has since been vague on the exact nature of Cooper's injury. The club said he has yet to undergo surgery, but it appears as though that still remains a possibility.
The loss of Cooper represents a blow to the club's overall depth. Cooper would have been in line for a promotion if either Adam Lind or Edwin Encarnacion suffered an injury this season. That job will now instead be handed to Minor Leaguers Luis Jimenez or Lars Anderson.
Cooper enjoyed a decent amount of success during his limited action in the big leagues. From 2011-12, he hit .270 with a .750 OPS while recording six homers and 23 RBIs in 72 games.
The native of California came up through the Blue Jays' system with a reputation of being a solid contact hitter with a good eye at the plate. It remains to be seen, though, whether he'll ever hit for enough power to be productive at first in the Majors.

Dr. Scott L. Scarborough, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Toledo, will be the next president of the University of Akron.
Scarborough, who comes to Akron after more than seven years in leadership positions at the University of Toledo and its Medical Center, was the unanimous choice of the university's Board of Trustees. His term begins July 1.
Board Chair Richard W. Pogue stated: "Dr. Scarborough clearly shares our vision for the University of Akron. We have confidence that he will help us advance our mission as a public research university committed to our students' success, to creating new models for sustaining academic excellence, and to our role as a vital contributor to the regional economy."
Pogue noted Scarborough's "impressive credentials and his extensive experience in the management of all aspects of higher education, including complex financial matters."
Scarborough, who is on a business trip out of town with his wife Tammy, issued the following statement: "Tammy and I are very excited about the opportunity to join The University of Akron family and the Akron community. We look forward to doing our part to build on the great work of Dr. Proenza and the faculty, staff and students who make The University of Akron a great university."
Scarborough succeeds Dr. Luis Proenza, who is retiring after 15 years as president.
Scarborough has been provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, serving as the chief academic officer and operating officer for the University of Toledo, which has an annual operating budget of more than $800 million.
He directed the development of UT's new strategic plan, Imagine 2017, and organized a system of "portal colleges" designed to meet the needs of well-prepared, prepared and underprepared, adult, online and graduate and advanced professional students.
He previously was senior vice president and executive director of The University of Toledo Medical Center, responsible for the overall management and operations of its 319-bed hospital, specializing in trauma, orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, cancer, surgery and kidney transplantation, and a large network of provider-based outpatient centers. During his two years in the position, he led the development of UTMC's strategic plan, Victory 2015.
From 2007 to 2011, he was senior vice president for finance and administration for both the University of Toledo and its Medical Center, responsible for managing university and hospital accounting and finance, including patient access, health information management, the budget office, information technology and internal auditing.
He was one of three finalists for the post. Also in the running were Jim Tressel, former Ohio State University football coach, who is now executive vice president for student success at the University of Akron, and Ronald A. Nykiel, provost and vice president of academic affairs at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne, Md. Tressel also is a finalist for the presidency of Youngstown State University.
The search process began last fall, culminating in the identification of the three finalists, all of whom visited campus last week. On Monday, the Board of Trustees heard from representatives of the administration, deans, chairs, faculty, students, staff and the community, and deliberated for several hours.
Pogue remarked on the strength of the finalists. "Most especially, we are grateful for UA Executive Vice President Jim Tressel, who has demonstrated his dedication to this University and to our students, and who has brought significant, positive change to our campus, and outstanding accomplishments in the two years he has led the Division of Student Success."
In his application materials, Dr. Scarborough describes his personal strengths in "areas of strategic management, financial management, team-building, and friend-raising" and is most proud of his "work to elevate the quality, distinctiveness and economic sustainability of all aspects of a university's tripartite mission: teaching and learning, research and discovery, and service and engagement."

Touching Base: A Message from the ChiefFebruary 17, 2013
Dear Community Members and Department Personnel:
For your Information:
Free Gun Disposal Offered by the Pasadena Police Department: I would like to remind community members that they may dispose of unwanted firearms through the Pasadena Police Department. All types of firearms are accepted; including pistols, rifles, shotguns, antiques, or replicas, regardless of their condition. There are no costs associated with surrendering your firearm.
Community members can request a police officer to respond to their home or business in Pasadena, where they can surrender the weapon. Individuals may also transport the unloaded weapon to the Pasadena Police Department at 207 North Garfield Avenue, Pasadena. If you intend to transport the firearm into the police station, please contact the Pasadena Police Department beforehand at (626) 744-4241. The police operator will provide instruction on the safe and legal means for transportation. Gun registration or related paperwork is helpful, although not necessary to voluntarily surrender the firearm.
The police department also accepts unwanted ammunition; however, military ordinance requires special handling and will be evaluated for safe disposal by law enforcement personnel on a case by case basis. Removing unwanted firearms by turning them into law enforcement is an important step community members can take to ensure guns never end up in unintended hands and possibly used in a violent crime.
