MONTREAL — A Concordia University student who says a professor downgraded him to a B+ because he had reached his quota of A's is suing the university.
William Groombridge maintains that he earned an A– in a political science class last December.
"The chair of the [political science] department had a hidden policy that the rule is no more than 25% of any class gets an A," Mr. Groombridge said. "But they didn't bell curve it, they just eliminated some A's — and that's a biased policy."
The unusual case of a student suing a university over a mark has raised the sensitive issue of grading practices on campuses — and just how far universities go to keep grade inflation in check.
While grade inflation — the tendency for grades to creep up over the past couple of decades — might be a problem on many university campuses, Mr. Groombridge said what happened in his class was
simply unfair.
Grade inflation is considered a problem throughout the academic world. Besides devaluing As, universities say, grade inflation makes it more difficult to identify truly exceptional students.

There was a discussion in the patagonia thread regarding peeing in your wetsuit. Figured I'd start a thread about it. Tried to make a poll, but it doesn't work.
I pee in my wetties a bunch. Never thought of it as anything but glorious. Didn't even think people would torture themselves by holding a good pee in, but apparently lots of people make that decision. It almost freaks me out more for the people that don't pee in their wetties...your bladder must be angry.

how do you not pee when your in the ocean?
May 17, 2011, 10:11 PM #4
I always take a leak before I pull the suit on, trying to minimize the situation. But let's face it... if you're in the water for a few hours, chances are, you're gonna have to pee. I go for it. I try to pee after I walk up the beach, and I'm standing in the water timing my paddle out. I figure all the water from the top of the suit is draining out the bottom, and gravity is gonna pull the pee down and out with all that water. I see guys in the lineup getting off their boards and floating in the water peeing, and I think that the warm, less dense pee is gonna actually work it's way UP the suit, compared to the cold, dense water around the suit.
So... if you wanna soak in your own waste for as long as possible (hey... maybe you're freezing cold and trying to extend your session) dismount and pee all over yourself. But if you just want to piss and get on with the show, pee standing on the beach.

Psh of course i do, any surfer or sponger who surfs year round and has worn a suit for a cold session is not only silly for not draining the lizard mid-surf but missing out on an awesome source of warmth. why not? the stuff is sterile as they say.

It seems that the Gregorian chant that hummed through the season about how the Lions needed to draft on the offensive line has subsided and I applaud this development. I am not a believer in drafting on the O line. Those picks bust just as much as any pick (Robert Gallery), and even when it does work out, the impact on the overall is minimal (Jake Long). Who had more impact, Matt Stafford or Jason Smith or Andre Smith? Every year there is a story about a former 1st round O lineman losing his job to the 6th rounder they picked up last year (Gosder Cherilus, cough).
Now the band has moved on to the defensive backfield, trumpeting the need for help in that category. I am not going to argue the blaring need for help there. The last two games against the league's best passing attacks were pretty tough to watch. Matt Flynn became the new Steve Young and Drew Brees set the record for yards in the playoffs. Stepping back for a minute though, the Lions secondary was supposed to be bad this year, and only fell apart in the last two games. Chris Houston had a good year, and Eric Wright deserves to be a #3. But I would really prefer to get a CB in free agency. I think that a veteran corner is always preferable over the draft, because they seemingly last forever. Charles Woodson and Champ Bailey are still in the league, and playing at a high level for crying out loud. Apparently Darrell Green and Merton Hanks retired too early. Courtland Finnegan and Marcus Trufant would be a very welcome addition to the Lions next year.
Draft a running back. I understand the Lions would rightly loathe spending high picks on runners 3 years in a row, but Best just doesn't look durable enough. When they drafted Best, players did not get placed on IR for concussions. They do now, and it's a reality that Jahvid has to live with, as he was one of the more famous concussion cases in college. Leshoure is an unknown with everyone believing he can thrive coming off an Achilles tear but no one knowing for sure. Kevin Smith has yards of heart but yards of injuries.
A depth chart featuring David Wilson (RB from Virginia Tech) Leshoure and Best helps everyone on the field. Mix in a decent LB in the second round and the Lions have a good looking draft in 2012.
I always like taking a running back in the draft because it does not seem possible to get a good one through free agency. Whenever backs get to your team, they are largely done. Running back is a brutal position, and their bodies are worn down by the time they bounce around for a while. If a team gets a hold of a good back they usually never let them go. The same cannot be said for corners, as there is always about 3 or 4 good ones on the open market.
I understand the football punditry fingering a circle around the suspect secondary, demanding fans eat their peas for a stiffer defense. But in this league an elite quarterback can shred any defense. The league has ameliorated rules to make the passing game shine. The real problem is the Lions couldn't keep those elite QBs off the field and a great running back can do that.
Or maybe they will draft another defensive lineman. Ugh.

Country singer Kevin Sharp, who overcame a well-publicized battle with cancer and went on to record a number of hits, has died. He was 43.
The Associated Press reported Sharp's sister Mary Huston said he died at his mother's Fair Oaks home at 10:49 p.m. Saturday of complications from past stomach surgeries and digestive issues.
"He had a strong heart, that's what kept him alive, (but) I'm so happy for him, that there's no more suffering," said Huston, who cared for her brother since his return home to Northern California last Friday after 10 weeks in the hospital.
Sharp made a splash in 1996 in the country scene with "Nobody Knows," a single on his debut album, "Measure of a Man." He released two other albums, "Love Is" in 1998 and "Make a Wish" in 2005.
Sharp was born in Redding in 1970. While in high school, he was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. He overcame it after two years of chemotherapy and radiation.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation helped plant the seeds of Sharp's career by granting his wish to meet Grammy Award-winning music producer David Foster, who gave him career tips. Sharp later became a spokesman for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and wrote "Tragedy's Gift," a 2004 book about fighting cancer.
Sharp struggled from past stomach surgery and residual issues from his aggressive cancer treatment the past several years, the Associated Press reported.
"His dream came true through music, and he touched thousands of lives, and he helped heal the soul of people dealing with cancer," Huston said.
Sharp is survived by five brothers, two sisters and his mother.

Basic restrictions for acquiring Mississippi birth records are that you must be an immediate relative in order to request the records. That means the birth record either has to be for yourself, or you are the parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, spouse or sibling of the person on the certificate.
There is an exception for birth records that are 100 years or older. These copies are considered to be genealogical and can be issued to anyone of any relation to the person of record, but proof will have to be given that such a relationship does exist. These copies are printed on plain paper and are not certified.
But since the state of Mississippi didn't start collecting birth registrations until around the end of 1912, and complete compliance from all the counties didn't happen until 1921, there may not be very many 100-year old records available anyway.
The best place to make a request for a Mississippi birth record is the central state office for vital records. They have a complete collection of registrations from 1921, and is the easiest place to make a request. If you are looking for records prior to 1921, you can also contact each county's own registrar's office and make a records request with them. Some counties do have records from earlier than 1912.
The office is in Jackson, and you an either mail your application or take in personally. The mailing address is Mississippi Vital Records, PO Box 1700, Jackson MS, 39215-1700 USA. For an in-person visit, their actual address is 571 Stadium Drive in the Underwood Building.
An in-person visit can sometimes mean you get your records while you wait, but by mail it will be at least 3 weeks.
You'll need the proper forms, which you can get from the Department of Health website (http://msdh.ms.gov/phs/forms/form522e_20090529.pdf). Fill out the applicable information on the Mississippi birth record you are looking for (name, place of birth, date of birth, parent's names) and also identify yourself by name and address. You will need to include copies of your own ID, and proof of your relationship to the person on record.
Also, there is the matter of the search fee. For each record you request, you have to pay $15 USD which can be a check or money order made out to Mississippi Vital Records. There are no refunds should they be unable to find your record, though they will search for a 5 year period around the dates you provide.
For searches of older records, you can also contact the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (http://mdah.state.ms.us/). They have multiple collections of records from various sources in Mississippi history, including many birth records that are not in the state collection. Some of their holdings can be searched online, though only the indexes. In most cases, you will have to visit the archive yourself in order to retrieve the actual record. You can make a request for them to do this for you, costing $27 per hour of time. Their website has details.
How to request Mississippi birth certificates:
Step 1.
Fill out a Mississippi Birth Certificate form to start your request.
Step 2.
Make sure that the form is fully completed and signed. Include a copy of your accepted photo ID.
Step 3.
Mail in your application and ID, along with a check or money order in the amount of $15. Allow at least three weeks for delivery of your record if using standard mail.
If you have any additional questions regarding accessing Mississippi birth records, you can contact the Department below:
Mississippi State Department of Health
Mississippi Vital Records
P.O. Box 1700
Jackson, MS 39215-1700
(601) 576-7981
Ordering Mississippi Birth Records
The Mississippi State Department of Health is responsible for handling all requests for Mississippi birth records. Records from 1912 until present day can be requested from the Department directly. Older records will need to be requested from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.
Ordering Methods That Are Available
To make accessing your Mississippi birth records easier, there are several ordering methods that are available. You can make a request by mail or in person at the office. Internet and phone orders are also available through a private vital records service.
Persons Able To Access Records
Mississippi birth records are considered confidential, and therefore can only be accessed by certain parties. In order to make a request, you must be the person listed on the record, a direct relative of the person, or a legal representative. A copy of your photo ID will be required with your request.

Devitt: Stanley are determined
Jamie Devitt insists Accrington's players are determined to lay Paul Cook's false start as manager to rest.
Last Updated: 21/02/12 2:33pm
Jamie Devitt insists Accrington's players are determined to lay Paul Cook's false start as manager to rest.
Cook took charge of Stanley for the first time on Saturday, but Plymouth Argyle made it an uncomfortable afternoon at the Crown Ground as they ran out 4-0 winners.
Hull midfielder Devitt joined the Reds on loan a day earlier to become Cook's maiden signing, and is poised for a full debut at Crewe on Tuesday night having provided one of the few bright spots from the bench against Argyle.
"It wasn't a great performance for his first game, but I think we'll just rally around each other and give him a good result at Crewe," Devitt told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
"Obviously it didn't look good on Saturday but it just needs a bit of time to get to know the players more.
"The manager came in and lifted everybody in the dressing room on Saturday and thank God we don't have to wait too long for the next game. We want to go out and change the last result."

Editor's Viewpoint: Fuelling a furore
Northern Ireland's motorists are being ripped off and that is official. The Office of Fair Trading found we pay more for petrol and diesel than motorists in other parts of the UK. Part of the reason is lack of competition but also the way supermarkets operate.
The supermarkets have the bulk buying power to get fuel at lower prices than individual retailers, but they often do not pass on that saving to customers. Where there are two or more supermarkets in direct competition prices will be lowered, but if the supermarkets are in a monopoly position in a town, the cost of fuel will be higher.
That should stop and the shopping giants should give all motorists a fairer deal.

The other issue is the use to dalvik-cache clearing scripts and options in RA recovery, stop clearing your dalvik-cache, the .dex files are created when missing and you do not get any benefits by doing so and cause more wearing leveling of NAND, plus the script in RA recovery doesn't appear to look at /cache/dalvik-cache for dex files. This little update script (when installed correctly).
Understand that /cache/dalvik-cache is a newer option as a means to free up space on /data is by using /cache/dalvik-cache as a first storage of dex files then using the standard /data/dalvik-cache for over flow of dex files and newer installed apps. Somewhere along the way something may throw this and you get douplicate dex files in both locations, one way to check is to boot into recovery and
mount -a
The script will fix these issues, or should at least:
Endless loop FCs on boot
broken /cache/dalvik-cache mount
no binded mount
missing user apps
missing system apps
failed market downloads
non-working symlink patches and installers (no need to run these, they will break this patch)
fixes duplicate dex files in both /cache/dalvik-cache and <target>/dalvik-cache (because it deletes /cache/dalvik-cache)
Will not Fix:
your ignorance
your unwillingness to read
your unwillingness to learn
your compulsive ROM flashing disorder
your compulsive dalvik-cache clearing syndrome
version 1.1.1(updated 4/27/2010 @ 10:10 PM) is current and was slapped together from Phonekenstein, it doesn't look for the existance of /cache/dalvik-cache it assumes it's there and deletes it wether it's a directory, a symlink or a file, re-creates a new empty /cache/dalvik-cache with Android default permissions and mount binds it to /data/dalvik-cache (be it a directory, a symlink or another binded mount) /cache/dalvik-cache will follow the target /data/dalvik-cache (no worries for apps2sd users or non-apps2sd users).
Script will turn on the blue LED when booting so you know it executed (if it annoys you then edit the script and make it pink)
Tested on Cyanogen MOD 220.127.116.11 and SuperD 1.10.3:
with and without apps2sd
with and without a /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (apps2sd script nulled)
with and without a custom /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
with mount binded /ext/dalvik-cache (mmcblk0p4) to /data/dalvik-cache
with /data/dalvik-cache as a symbolic link to /ext/dalvik-cache (mmcblk0p4)
All scenarios experienced no failures as long as you set your permissions correctly on all targets and files and /cache/dalvik-cache followed and binded flawlessly.
install is simple and can be done through terminal:
1. download 86dalvik-cache-fix <--Long press and chose "save link as" (also attached to this post)
2. open terminal and issue these commands:
NOTE: COMMANDS ARE CASE sensitive in LINUX and as such ANDROID!!!!!!
ALL OFF THESE COMMANDS ARE IN lower case. SO Turn off your Auto-Caps options in your keyboard options. These command assume you downloaded the script using your the web browser on your G1/Magic whatever phone and the file is located in /sdcard/download (the default location for web browser downloads).
su mount -o rw,remount /system cp /sdcard/download/86dalvik-cache-fix.txt /system/etc/init.d/86dalvik-cache-fix chown 0:2000 /system/etc/init.d/86dalvik-cache-fix chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/86dalvik-cache-fix sync reboot
If you are having a problem getting the script to execute, copy it or merge it into /system/sd/userinit.sh (even if you aren't using a mmcblk0p2(ext partition)) it may make it work with FastTest builds, however the permissions on his builds appear to be root everything and I have problems getting the script to execute out of /system/etc/init.d even with root permissions.
Primer: Read this about Dalvik VM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_virtual_machine
Read this to: Google Groups post about JIT compiler for Dalvik VM from Android-Platform Link
From the post we see that this particular compiled library is ALPHA, so results can vary, but from reading most posts in this thread the results are right near the talked about 3x faster code, stability is going to vary on what apps and or widgets are running. More Widgets = slower performance as these have processes that are eating cycles. When testing with Linpack wait for the advertisement to load first then tap the benchmark button and remove your finger from the touch screen. Background process such that interrupt or having auto-rotate enabled while testing is going to give you slower benchmarks.
In short your apps should load faster and run faster, particularly 3D games. The web browser is faster and you can actually scroll through pages even while graphics are still loading.
The reboot when enabling it is long even appearing to hang at the G1 Screen for 5 minutes or more but once it starts booting past this you will know that your ROM is compatible. The cause is that the dex files are being optimized, after about a third reboot, your ROM should feel pretty snappy and launching apps should be quicker as well as switching apps. The snappiness lasts as well and as some may have said that it's a placebo effect are wrong. Bench mark readings prove it and more importantly a few ROM builders have included this in their 2.1 ROMs as experimental.
The libdvm.so that t3steve cross compiled for the DROID at the time was for Android 2.0, the library works for with newer ROMs Android 1.6 that have some eclair pieces built into the kernel, CyanogenMOD has been using bits and pieces for a while now, if other ROM builders have been using his kernel and framework than a good chance it will work for your phone as well.
I have nothing to do with the compiling of this or the exact functions of enabling JIT except that I had a hunch that the combo might work and it did, so I'm sharing it.
If you aren't good at typing in commands, or don't know how to extract a zip file and understand that a sub folder may or may not exist where you have extracted said zip file to, well.... you may run into some issues, maybe a video tutorial for basic command line on youtube would be a good place to learn.
I wanted to make a very detailed post on www.andoidonroids.com about how to mash the JIT enabled Dalvik VM library into Android 1.6 Donuts I'm calling the hack "Dusted Donuts" and take from the name for what you will. I have been using the JIT enabled Dalvik VM for about two weeks and i runs decent but not perfect. Anyhow a death in the family Sunday has kept me from making a decent post and haven't had the time to get to the website and post and cross post and give credit where due.
No doubt that aaraya1516 broke the news on http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=193 as he was first to break the hack on FastTest, not taking anything away from him on that.
My testing goes back two weeks or more even during the 580mhz & 780mhz hack, I was waiting for someone to compile a boot.img with some 2.x stuff and sure enough the carlospants boot.img from ctso worked with enabling JIT for Dalvik VM, but as we know now the overclocking doesn't work at the moment.
Thank Cyanogen and t3hSteve of which may not know that this was entirely possible. Cyanogen mixed in enough Eclair into his Donuts (he's like Willy Wonka) that makes it possible to use the cross compiled JIT enabled Dalvik VM library from 2.1 for the Motorola DROID 2.0.1 libdvm.so that t3hSteve of www.alldroid.com compiled for the custom roms on Droid.
WARNING: Using other methods supplied from other forum members that include replacing the build.prop may cause problems, using the build.prop from the original VMLIBS.ZIP (which is here for reference and original source for libdvm.so) is definitely going to cause ROM and application problems. Hello....use your head here... the VMLIBS.ZIP is for Motorola DROIDS, why would you put the build.prop file for a DROID on your G1 and expect your apps or ROM to work afterwards? It's so simple, you need 1 file, it's called libdvm.so it goes in /system/lib a file by the same name already exists there and it's in your best interest to at least back it up before overwriting it and gives you the ability in the event that your system doesn't boot up you can restore it through recovery console and get your phone to boot past the G1 screen.
FYI: Some ROMs have the option dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast in the /system/build.prop file, this would need to be changed to dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit or commented out or deleted. If you want to play with advanced options create /data/local.prop and fiddle in there with options available from typing dalvikvm -h in your console or terminal app.
1. Android 1.6 ROMS with a bit Eclair stuff in the Kernel and framework such as Cyanogen ROM 4.2.x, Super D 1.8 - 1.92, WG Y2.6, FastTest, KingKlick Eclair and more.. This libdvm.so works on Android 2.1 as well as it seems it should.. 1 st bootup is slow and I recommend you let it sit even when desktops are up for a couple of minutes and then reboot it, 2nd and 3rd bootups are faster and smoother response overall even for long durations, days.
FIX YOUR FILE SYSTEM FIRST !!!!!! Got to do it from Recovery Console, It's partly the cause of poorly running ROMS and takes seriously longer to type the command than to fix your unknowingly faulty file system. EXT2 is the worst offender and the built in function to repair falls short, even more so when checking EXT4.
#e2fsck -fcpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 #reboot recovery For the lazy fingers #e2fsck -fcpDC0 /*/*/*0p2 #reboot recovery
2. Extract zip to root of /sdcard or where ever you like (the zip has a folder containing the files named dusted-donuts)
3. Open Terminal or go to Recovery Console
FYI when running the install through Terminal your system may freeze or reboot and if it does I highly recommend that you prepare to enter Recovery Mode and check your file system. EXT2 corrupts quickly choosing this for apps2sd to use is not the best option especially if you are using custom ROMs that may lockup or reboot, basically that's a crash.
$su #mount -o rw,remount auto /sdcard #cd /sdcard/dusted-donuts #sh backup #sh install #sync #reboot
$su #dalvikvm -h
#mount -o rw,remount auto /sdcard #cd /sdcard/dusted-donuts #sh restore #sync #reboot
prefer to use VMLIBS.ZIP from t3hSteve? This is how you can install using that.
1. Android 1.6 ROMS with a bit Eclair stuff in the Kernel and framework such as Cyanogen ROM 4.2.x, Super D 1.8 - 19.2, WG Y2.6, FastTest, KingKlick Eclair and more.. This libdvm.so works on Android 2.1 as well as it seems it should..
How to install: (easier to go in recovery mode but can be done through terminal)
1. Download the VMLIBS.ZIP from t3hSteve of allroid.com http://alldroid.org/download/file.php?id=1374
2. You only need the libdvm.so file of which appears to be JIT enabled by default.
3. Backup the original libdvm.so #cp /system/lib/libdvm.so /sdcard/libdvm.so
4. Copy the JIT enabled libdvm.so #cp -f /sdcard/vmlibs/libdvm.so /system/lib/libdvm.so
5. Set permissions on the file #chmod 644 /system/lib/libdvm.so
Optional for disabling: (easier to do vi through recovery console, since the back key escapes out of terminal)
To disable JIT MODE but want to keep the libdvm.so create a local.prop in /data and add dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
#vi /data/local.prop
press the i key to enter vi interactive mode
type dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
press back key to exit vi interactive mode
to write the file out and quit vi type :wq
restore your backed libdvm.so file from the sdcard.
Enjoi! the dusted donuts,
-Licknuts (me? I'm like Varuca Salt, I want another pony)
Vendor G1 roms around 1.2 Mflops, Custom G1 roms are around 2.4 MFlops/s and with JIT compiled Dalvik VM 3.6 MFlops/s. At most you will see 3.5 MFlops/s fairly consistently with a minimal load on your system and highs at 3.7 Mflops/s. Test before and after using Linpack from the Market, it's free.
The 13.236 Mflops/s is not normal and you will probably not see with your testing, I have seen 5.x & 7.x but these are far and few between and this took a while with tweaked configurations/settings with a persistent app to kill processes, it is attainable and I hope a ROM developer finds the sweet spot to exploit.

WE WERE NEVER MODERN - Megan Perkins
16 February 2012 - 15 March 2012
Megan Perkins is a multitalented Tasmanian creative who works across a variety of mediums including jewellery, graphic design, sculpture and photography.
WE WERE NEVER MODERN explores the dichotomy between the romanticised notion of the pristine landscape and the reality of the Tasmanian environment as a multi-faceted, evolving ecosystem.
Megan investigates our ongoing dialogue with our natural environments through her seductive large-scale images of seemingly untouched wilderness spaces.
The objects exhibited are fashioned from both found and repurposed organic matter such as feathers, bones, branches as well as materials such as vitreous enamel on copper and metalwork.
"My intention is to encourage my audience to question the notion of wilderness and reconsider how we engage with and value our natural environment" Megan says.
She explores our often conflicting relationship with our natural environments through the documentation of the landscape and the collection of botanical and zoological specimens. The deliberate inclusion of this human residue in her works according to Megan reflects "our 'wilderness' as an unquiet space, where the land has been influenced, manipulated, and occasionally exploited."
In 2007 Megan was the winner of the Dombrovskis award for a young Tasmanian photographer continuing the spirit of Peter Dombrovskis' work.

Moving to Combustion from After Effects, Part 3:A birds-eye view of the C2 interface, volume one
However, once you get past the obvious difference in appearances between the two programs, you'll find that learning the Combustion interface is more an extension of a language you already know rather than learning something new from scratch.
Of course, with programs as complex and far-reaching as Combustion and After Effects, I could conceivably spend years delving into every minute difference between the two, so in the following few installments of our ongoing series I'm going to concentrate on a more general overview of where things are in the Combustion interface.
The big picture
For those used to the lush green climes of After Effects (fig. 1, left), Combustion might as well be the surface of the Moon (fig. 1, right). Everything's dark gray, the buttons and other widgets don't look at all "normal" (regardless of whether you're in the Mac or Windows camp), and fughettabout the open/save/import dialog (fig. 2). But you'll get over the shock very quickly. What may initially look like a mess is actually one of the more streamlined and user-friendly interfaces ever designed in the history of mankind. OK, so that last sentence might be a bit overstated, but I have to keep you interested, right?
|Figure 1
|Figure 2
Let's go around the horn here and examine C2's major interface elements and how to approach them from an After Effects perspective.
In General...
If you're new to Combustion, it might help to compare the interface, however strange-looking at first, to a suite of products you may already be familiar with: Macromedia's MX line (the Windows versions, anyway). The comparison might be a bit of a stretch, but there are some similarities between C2 and MX:
1) By default, both C2 and MX (in this case, Freehand MX) present a single window with various docked palettes (fig. 3).
2) Both programs arrange the palettes via tabs (fig. 4), although Combustion is admittedly less flexible than MX in this regard.
3) Both programs also let you tear off palettes and arrange them as you like (fig. 5). MX exhibits this behavior by default, while Combustion makes you explicitly turn on this feature in the Monitors preference panel (fig. 6). Incidentally, this same panel is also where you tell Combustion where to put the various palettes in a multiple monitor setup.
|Figure 3
|Figure 4
|Figure 5
|Figure 6
At least in my case, being used to both the standard Adobe interface and the Macromedia MX interface (and working concurrently in the two environments) helped ease my transition tremendously to Combustion, so it may serve you well initially to draw upon whatever MX knowledge you have to help develop your understanding of how Combustion works. And with that, as Kermit once said, "Moving right along, Fozzie." Let's get into some specific After Effects interface features and how they translate to Combustion.

The only thing worse for a licensor than losing money when its licensee files for bankruptcy is paying attorneys' fees on top of that to stop the bleeding.
Two of the most common bankruptcy proceedings that licensor creditors get involved in are: 1) hearings related to the licensee's attempt to assume an executory license agreement; and 2) lawsuits against the licensor to recover so-called preferential transfer payments from the licensee.
But can a clever licensor recover attorneys' fees incurred in post-petition bankruptcy proceedings, if it had the foresight to include a well-drafted attorneys' fee provision in its boilerplate license agreement?
Since a 2007 Supreme Court decision, the answer has been "maybe," which was a big improvement over the previous answer of "almost never."
Until 2007, there were two hurdles against a licensor creditor recovering its attorneys' fees in a bankruptcy proceeding. The first was that many courts invalidated attorneys' fee provisions to the extent that they applied to bankruptcy proceedings, arguing that the Bankruptcy Code had a general policy to invalidate contractual clauses that were triggered by bankruptcy. The second was that some courts interpreted the Bankruptcy Code to prohibit recovery of attorneys' fees by unsecured creditors under any circumstances.
In 2007, the US Supreme Court removed the first hurdle in Travelers Casualty & Surety Co. v. Pacific Gas & Electric Co., which held that the Bankruptcy Code did not contain a blanket prohibition on recovery of attorneys' fees for bankruptcy related proceedings, as long as the attorneys' fees provision is valid under state law.
But the Travelers case did not address the second hurdle, and there is currently a split among various courts whether unsecured creditors can recover attorneys' fees even pursuant to a contractual provision valid under state law. So far, the Second Circuit, Ninth Circuit, and Sixth Circuit federal appeals courts have permitted such recovery, while the First Circuit and Eighth Circuit (in pre-Travelers opinions) have not.
Sigh, so confusing. What is a licensor to do? Well of course, put attorneys' fee recovery language in your boilerplate license agreement. The worst that can happen is the court says no.
A starter attorneys' fee provision might read as follows:
"If any legal action, arbitration, or other proceeding is brought under or in relation to this Agreement, including but not limited to any legal action, arbitration, or proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, then in addition to any other relief to which the Licensor is entitled, if the Licensor is the successful or prevailing party, then the Licensor is also entitled to recover, and the Licensee shall pay, all: (a) reasonable attorneys' fees of the Licensor; (b) court costs; and (c) expenses, even if not recoverable by law as court costs (including, without limitation, all fees, taxes, costs and expenses incident to arbitration, appellate, bankruptcy and post-judgment proceedings); incurred in that action, arbitration, or proceeding and all appellate proceedings. For purposes of this Section, the term 'attorneys' fees' includes, without limitation, paralegal fees, investigative fees, expert witness fees, administrative costs, disbursements, and all other charges billed by the attorney to the Licensor."
Adjust the above to be valid under the state law that governs the license agreement. Check whether that state law makes the provision reciprocal, by deeming that if an agreement grants one party the right to recover attorneys' fees, then the other party is automatically entitled to recover its attorneys' fees under like circumstances. Then cross your fingers.

In honor of Robert Browning's 201st birthday, the Armstrong Browning Library welcomes the Baylor community and the public for a free concert and lecture as part of its annual Browning Day celebrations. Browning Day will be held in the McLean Foyer of Meditation of the Armstrong Browning Library on the Baylor University Campus on Tuesday, May 7, at 3:30 p.m. Festivities for the day will feature music composed by Artist-in-Residence, Carlos Colón, a lecture by Dr. Cornelia Pearsall, Professor of English Language and Literature from Smith College, and, weather permitting, refreshments in the Garden of Contentment.
Robert Browning was born May 7, 1812, in Camberwell, a district of London, England. Browning Day was initiated by Dr. A.J. Armstrong, Chair of the English Department of Baylor University and founder of the Armstrong Browning Library, some time following his arrival to Baylor in 1912.
Dr. Pearsall's lecture, "Browning and the Traumatic Monologue," will explore "trauma, wounding, broken things and darkening paths." Pearsall notes that these topics may not initially seem in keeping with the celebratory nature of Browning Day, but "they explore ways that representations of potentially disabling events or states were in fact enabling for Browning's poetry." Her lecture will pay particular attention to "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" (1855) and to the emergent field of Disability Studies. Pearson will examine the ways traumatic events are not only depicted but performed in the dramatic monologue and conceived as poetically productive.
Rita Patteson, Director of the Armstrong Browning Library and host of this year's Browning Day celebration said that she is "pleased that Carlos Colón, our artist-in-residence, is preparing a composition that centered around the idea of a dramatic monologue." Baylor alum Keron Jackson, a dramatic operatic bass, is scheduled to perform.

Texas Rangers 2014 roster analysis: Improved power hitting next step for Elvis Andrus
SS Elvis Andrus
Age: 25
How acquired: Trade with Atlanta, 2007
Experience: 5 years
Contract Status: Signed through 2022 with escape clauses after 2018, 2019
2013 review: After signing a huge contract extension, Andrus stumbled badly through the first half of the season with the fourth-worst slugging percentage (.280) and the 10th (.580) in the AL. What was impressive was the way he battled back in the second half to put together a year that was pretty much in line with his previous career numbers. After the All-Star game, he batted .313 with a .369 OBP and .774 OPS to finish with more passable numbers. He also ranked fifth in the majors with a career-high 42 steals and was caught only eight times.
Outlook in 2014: From the earliest stages of his minor league career on, Andrus' career path has resembled that of Edgar Renteria. Both reached the majors at age 20 and both were sharp-fielding shortsops with similar offensive capabilities. To remain on the same career track as the 16-year vet, Andrus must start to ramp up his ability to drive the ball. While their career OBPs through five seasons are almost identical (.341 for Renteria to .339 for Andrus), Renteria had a .722 OPS; Andrus' is only .688. Renteria eventually had the ability to rap out 40 doubles and hit double figures in homers. Andrus may never be a double-digit homer guy, but 35-40 doubles should not be out of the question. Only once in his career has he reached 30. Andrus continues to mature as a player and as a clubhouse force. After last season's growth and having the same hitting instructor for consecutive seasons for the first time in his career may make a big difference in 2014.

I find Dolce & Gabbana By Woman perfume glorious! It is seductive in a mysterious kind of way. I love its originality and woody oriental characteristics. I find it is better worn in the colder months as it can be too heavy for summer. However, D&G make some other wonderful refreshing fragrances for summer. This is my favourite D&G perfume, and if you are a bit of a sultry seductress with a mysterious twist, then I recommend this for you!… Read Full Review

Developer Respawn Entertainment's upcoming first-person shooter Titanfall does not permit players on one platform to play with those on another.
Titanfall is due out in 2014 for PC, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Respawn and publisher Electronic Arts have no plans to bring the futuristic competitive-multiplayer title to any of Sony's consoles. That seemed to leave open a possibility for cross-platform play between at least the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of the game.
But this isn't the case.
"We will be able to offer dedicated servers on Xbox 360," Respawn community manager Abbie Heppe told Videogamer.com in an interview. "Obviously, Xbox 360 players are not going to be playing with Xbox One players — they're not going to be playing with PC — those will be separated groups."
Titanfall puts players into the role of a future soldier who can double jump and run on walls. Players can also call in a mech unit that changes the pace of play. Respawn comprises many former Call of Duty developers, and it's easy to see that lineage in Titanfall even while its gameplay is something very different.

ORLANDO, Fla., May 29 (UPI) -- A Central Florida man being questioned by an FBI agent about the Boston Marathon bombings was shot after he drew a sword on the agent, a Boston TV station says.
Ibragim Todashev was killed May 22 after he lunged at the agent while being interviewed at a condominium in Orlando, the Orlando Sentinel reported Wednesday, citing a story by WXFT-TV, the FOX affiliate in Boston.
Todashev, 27, knew Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston bombings, because both of them were involved in the mixed martial arts community in Massachusetts.
At the time of his death, two Massachusetts State Police troopers and other law enforcement officials were questioning Todashev about a triple homicide in Massachusetts. Todashev and Tsarnaev were suspects in the deaths of three men who had their throats cut in 2011.
During the interview, Todashev was asked to write a statement about his role in the killings. After he began writing, he flipped a table and began waving a sword at the FBI agent, who had been knocked into a wall, the station's report said.

On the NBC series, James plays Raymond Reddington, a wanted fugitive who turns himself into the FBI: on more conditions than we have time for right now.
While we don't know a lot about the criminal he plays, we've rounded up five interesting facts for you about the man behind the mystery.
1. He prefers the name "Jimmy." James Spader often plays some pretty cold, calculating, sleazy characters, so imagining that he would prefer the name Jimmy is strangely amusing to us. But it's true, should you run into the actor in a dark alley, make sure you use his nickname. Or else.
2. He doesn't really like television. Though Jimmy has played some long-running characters on shows like The Practice, Boston Legal, The Office, and now The Blacklist, he admitted in a recent interview that he doesn't really watch TV. "I've never been a big TV watcher," he explains about going into the job. But despite that fact, he really enjoys not knowing what's going to happen next on his own show, since scripts roll in one at a time.
3. He had to shave his head for the role of Red. Before stepping into the FBI offices, James was rolling with some long locks. But when he was getting into character, he decided that Reddington should be largely bald, so he shaved his head! "He's someone who has to travel lightly and move swiftly, and it seemed eminently practical for him," the actor explains of his reasoning.
4. He's been acting for longer than his co-star has been alive. Co-star Megan Boone, who plays FBI profiler and Red's sometimes partner Elizabeth Keene, is a mere 30 years old. Jimmy, on the other hand, has been appearing on television and in movies since 1978 (35 years). He got his first big movie break in Endless Love, starring as Brooke Shields's brother in the 1981 film.
5. He won't watch his own movies. James is often quoted as saying that although he enjoys working on all the movies he's been in — and there are many — he won't watch them. That's fine, Jimmy, we've got you covered!

With 6:47 left in last night's second period, thousands of fans chanted "Oilers suck," oblivious to the fact their Vancouver Canucks sucked more than the visitors from Edmonton.
Sanity returned with less than five minutes left in the third. Thousands of fans exited the 4-0 loss.
We Are All Embarrassed and Ripped Off?
You bet! Only the last place Columbus Blue Jackets (55 goals) have scored less than the Canucks (59).
Shawn Horcoff opened the scoring with a bizarre first period ricochet power play goal. Roberto Luongo allowed the first two shots of the second to Daniel Tjarnqvist and Joffrey Lupul. Raffi Torres scored in the third.
Dwayne Roloson stopped 36 shots for the shutout. Luongo faced only 18.
Taylor Pyatt, Sami Salo and Rick Rypien left the game injured. Goals were disallowed to Daniel Sedin and Alexandre Burrows.

Love, songs, and the devious draw of the drink! The only three things returning with Mohit Suri's vaguely dissimilar Aashiqui 2 are:
1) The poster image of a young couple, supposedly cuddly, under a jacket. 2) The half-wit tagline "Love Makes Life Live" and 3) A fleeting glimpse of the lead's insecurity, imported from Rahul Roy's character's, named, Rahul Roy.
A better title, at least from what one may guess from the film's middle act, would be "Abhimaan 2". However, give it a chance; and that goes double ditto for the album.
Mr. Suri's film takes some getting used to, but when the senses finally fine-tune to Aashiqui 2's orientation, the enterprise becomes less cumbersome – even when the interest curve dips.
While Mr. Bhatt's Aashiqui was about cute, sappy and somewhat unattainable love, Mr. Suri's Aashiqui entertains none of the stereotypical evils from the 90's – gone are girls hostel supervisors like Tom Alter and media scoundrels like Homi Wadia. The villain here is a lack of self-control and a bottle of rum.
Aashiqui 2's straightforward opening begins on concert day and Rahul Jaykar (Aditiya Roy Kapoor), a self-afflicted, creatively bummed out pop-star tethering on career suicide.
Rahul, desensitized by liquor, is fashionably late, sans reason. An uproarious crowd, and his manger-cum-friend (Shaad Randhawa)'s push later, Rahul performs "Sun Raha Hai" (debutant Ankit Tiwair is the voice and the composer) – a rocked-out sad solo single, custom crafted for album sales, and one of six best tunes in the movie (the album has eleven songs).
Rahul, for some inexplicable rationalization, has lost his muse at the peak of his celebrity. A short fuse with another striving singer later, Rahul runs over Arohi Shirke (Shraddha Kapoor).
Arohi is a bar-singer, working for pennies under a contract. She also sings Rahul's songs, but in a different beat (her version of "Sun Raha Hai" is an easy on the soul version by Shreya Ghoshal). Rahul, smitten, frees Arohi from contract, brings her back to Mumbai and pushes her into professional music.
As it usually happens in romantic dramas, conflict attack in intermissions; some more pedantic than others, as Mr. Suri's direction, and his immaculately framed scenes balance shifty performances within a repeating story thread and a succession of songs – which, during the movie, sound tonally repetitive, unless heard off-screen ("Hum Mar Jayeingay", "Meri Aashiqui", "Piya Aaye Na", "Chahun Main Ya Na" are valuable assets, whose only flaw is singer Arjit Singh's unwarranted aping of Atif Aslam).
Ms. Kapoor's Shraddha, though neatly laid out on paper, as one half of the pair, is adequate. Her appeal, though, comes from a lack of Vishesh Film's routine sexed-up sensuality.
Mr. Roy Kapoor's Rahul fares better, with a genuinely good core; his alcohol dependency, on the other hand, is a dangling McGuffin that gratuitously slogs the film's running time.
Twenty minutes less, a little dimension to the supporting cast (Mahesh Thakur is fine in limited capacity, and Salil Acharya is wasted) and any other conclusion then the stamped upon finale, would have made Aashiqui 2's day.
By the end, it's the cliché – and rigid defeatist mindset – that breaks these characters, not the alcohol. I bet this line gives comfort to the multi-billion dollar beverage industry.
The film stars: Aditya Roy Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Shaad Randhawa, Mahesh Thakur, Salil Acharya, Shubhangi Latkar, Chitrak Bandyopadhyay, Shekhar Shukla, Gagan Gupta, Bugs Bhargava, Gaurav Sharma. Directed by Mohit Suri. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Mukesh Bhatt, Krishan Kumar. Written by Shagufta Rafiqui. Music by Mithoon, Jeet Ganguly and Ankit Tiwari. "Aashiqui 2" is rated U – even with a slight under-the-covers scene that necessitates – and substantiates – for love these days.

As you pull open the storage closet in the garage and start hauling out your gear, you smile at the memories of your last camping adventure. You remember the great fishing, the beautiful scenery on the hike, even the gentle rain that lulled you to sleep the night before you packed up to come home.
But what's that smell? Kind of musty. Definitely funky. Finally you reach the stuff sack containing the tent and then you see it. The unmistakable powder gray-green blooms of mold and dark stains of mildew. You remembered that gentle rain, but you forgot to unpack the tent when you got home and dry it out. Uh oh.
More: 10 Tips for Camping in the Rain
Camping is a lot more fun than cleaning everything and storing it away properly afterwards. Yet the cleaning part is what makes the camping part enjoyable. Because when you get to your campsite and start setting up your tent, everything is shiny and bright and in good working order.
Here are some easy tent care steps you can take to make sure your next outing is more enjoyable and that your tent lasts longer:
1) Make Sure Your Tent is Relatively Clean Before You Break Camp
Before you start knocking down the tent, take a few moments to brush out the interior to remove any dirt, mud, rocks, bugs, food or trash that may have been carried in. Also, make sure than any storage pockets are empty.
Then brush the outside clear of any rain, dew, leaves or twigs that have accumulated. The idea is to remove anything that may rub or tear holes in your tent's floor, walls or roof when it's folded up. That includes tent stakes and poles; there should be nothing inside.
More: 5 Ways to Be a Happy Camper
As you fold up the tent, continue to clean off any dirt. Brush off the bottom of the floor as you pack up so that sand, grit or rocks don't get folded inside. Also, be sure to knock any dirt or mud off the tent stakes and poles. This can help keep your other equipment, and the inside of your vehicle, clean.
Once the tent is folded, put it in its storage bag or stash it someplace where it won't get anything else dirty.

After visiting events such as Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven I always need to have a good think about what I saw and how it fits into today's bigger picture. When it comes to design, most of us think about chairs and tables but it's so much more than that. I've been hearing designers say "We don't need any more solutions to problems" or "We don't need another chair" for years now and although I was at first a little disappointed at what was on offer at DDW, now I'm thinking maybe this is the shift we asked for? This year saw much more conceptual design and creative thinking than previous editions and it's precisely this that makes us question our 'need' for ever-more products. Even-so I managed to pick a few of my favourites just for their look and feel!

This week's selection includes some of the best British bands out right now. Two Door Cinema Club get turned into bowling balls, The 1975 keep things crisp and classy, whilst the Disclosure boys take us on a scenic trip through Europe. Add to that some fantastic animation courtesy of Eric Shaw and a video featuring an island 2000km away from the nearest continent and we have another cracking collection for your viewing pleasure. Have a fantastic weekend and be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Disclosure – You & Me (Dir. Luke Monaghan)
Monaghan details the kind of trip all young couples aspire to embark on at some point in their relationship. There's laughter, tears, Amsterdam coffee shops and everything else you'd expect during a trip through Europe. If you didn't have itchy feet before, you will now.
The 1975 – The City (Dir. James Booth)
The Manchester four-piece are quickly becoming one of the most highly-anticipated bands of 2013 after the release of their EP Facedown back in August. With serious airplay from BBC Radio 1 under their belts it was only a matter of time before they got the recognition they deserve. "The City" is the latest release from the guys' forthcoming EP, IV. You'd be a fool to miss it.
Two Door Cinema Club – Handshake (Dir. Sam Pilling)
Two Door Cinema Club's latest video will terrify bald men everywhere. Already banned by MTV, the Northern Irish rockers find their heads being used as bowling balls in a gritty bowling face off (if such a thing exists). I'm not worried though; the sheer size and weight of my nut should be more than enough to dissuade anyone from trying this on me.
Wild Nothing – A Dancing Shell (Dir. Hayley Akins)
Painter Eric Shaw designed all the artwork for Wild Nothing's latest EP, Empty Estate released through Captured Tracks and Bella Union. Hayley Akins and Andy Williams animated his paintings for the video using After Effects and the whole thing fits together beautifully with Wild Nothing's changing new wave sound.
Killbot Kindergarten – Back The Fuck Up (Dir. Adam Sait & Noel Smyth) (Highsnobiety Premiere)
Killbot Kindergarten are electro folks. Two soul children with a glass-bottomed boat and pentatonic sails. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Youka Snell and Adam Sait have clocked up the air miles recently performing at sold-out underground shows in Berlin, pulling all-nighters in Las Vegas and rocking Kasbahs in Marrakech. In this video we see them losing their sanity on Norfolk Island, a tiny rock situated in the South Pacific Ocean. Sait explains "Norfolk Island is an abandoned penal colony and was once one of the most brutal jails on the planet. It was impossible to escape being 2000kms away from the nearest continent and people actually used to cry when they weren't given a death sentence." Simply said, this has to be one of the most visually stunning videos released this year.

Urban Meyer's future is being discussed at the University of Utah and will be Thursday in a meeting between Meyer and Notre Dame officials.
The New York Times reported late Wednesday that the Ute head football coach will meet with Notre Dame officials to discuss taking the open Notre Dame gridiron position.
The Times' source said that if Meyer were hired by the Irish he still would like to coach Utah in its bowl game, which is expected to be the Fiesta Bowl. That decision would be made by Utah officials.
"We've had other conversations and we'll continue to do so," said Utah athletic director Chris Hill, who declined comment on reports that the Utes may lose their football coach.
"All I can tell you is that Urban has done a great job at Utah. I realize people are going to be interested and we'll do everything we can to keep him," said Hill. "And I never put myself in a position to confirm or deny rumors from other schools. A response would come from those parties involved. That's all I can tell you."
Wednesday afternoon, Meyer delivered a "no comment" on the situation.
Lou Holtz and Bob Davie, his former bosses at Notre Dame, have been less guarded in their remarks. Each spoke with Meyer over the weekend, but not specifically about coaching the Irish.
"He would be a great fit for Notre Dame," Holtz told the South Bend (Ind.) Tribune.
Davie, an ESPN analyst, said if he speaks to Meyer again he'll advise him to look closely at the schedule.
"The bottom line, go somewhere or stay where you are now if it's the place that gives you the best opportunity to win football games," Davie said in a SportsCenter segment.
Speculation, though, is strong that Notre Dame officials want Meyer to replace the fired Tyrone Willingham as head coach of the Fighting Irish. A CBS Sportsline columnist has indicated that a deal already may have been reached. The report, however, has yet to be verified.
"If something definitive happens then I'd be willing to comment on it. Right now, things are just out there as rumors and speculation," said Hill. "I don't want to comment on other jobs and speculate on that. We've got a great job here at the university. It's a great institution. We've got great facilities and I think we've got a great future."
Meyer's unpredictable future has already proven costly.
Prize recruit Josh Portis, a highly touted prep quarterback out of Woodland Hills, Calif., has reportedly withdrawn his commitment to sign with Utah. He cited an inability to get a straight answer from Meyer concerning the coach's future with the Utes as the reason for his decision.Comment on this story
"I haven't had a chance to talk to coach Meyer yet," Portis explained to the recruiting-based Web site Rivals.com. "They haven't really returned my calls."
As of late Tuesday, Portis indicated that he had not spoken with Meyer since Saturday. The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder, who has 4.57 speed in the 40, now lists Kansas State, Maryland, Louisiana State, Oregon and Washington as his top choices.CBS Sportsline said that Portis plans to enroll in college mid-semester and must make a final decision in the next two weeks.
OTHER COACHES: Meyer said hiring good people is something he's done very well. He's not surprised that assistants Kyle Whittingham and Mike Sanford are being considered for vacancies at BYU and UNLV, respectively."I think when you hire coordinators, you hire people who can become head coaches. I think, without question, Kyle Whittingham is going to be a terrific head coach, and I think Mike Sanford is going to be a terrific head coach," said Meyer. "I think down the road I have other coaches on our staff that, as they move up the ranks, will be head coaches."
EXTRA POINTS: The Utes are scheduled to practice today at the Spence Eccles Field House . . . Quarterback Alex Smith has been named the Football Academic All-American of the Year by ESPN The Magazine and College Sports Information Directors of America. Smith is a finalist for the Davey O'Brien, Walter Camp and Cingular Wireless/ABC Sports Player of the Year awards . . . Safety Morgan Scalley became Utah's first two-time first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American. The Utes are the only team in the nation to have two representatives.

Oct. 1, 2013
A federal judge sentenced ex-lobbyist and wealthy developer Harvey Whittemore to 24 months in prison for funneling illegal campaign contributions to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The range was between 41 and 51 months, but it was downgraded due to his community work. He will be fined $100,000 and will be supervised for two years after his prison sentence. Judge Hicks also ordered Whittemore to perform 100-hours of community service. Hicks added, that Whittemore keep a smile on his face while doing the community service.
Prosecutors asked U.S. District Judge Larry Hicks to sentence Harvey Whittemore to more than four years for his three felony convictions. Prosecutors said failure to put the wealthy developer behind bars would fuel the "growing public cynicism" that the political process is rigged in favor of the rich and powerful. Whittemore funneled more than $130,000 to Sen. Harry Reid's re-election campaign in 2007.

China's inflation rate fell for the third month in a row in April as prices for foods and energy plunged from high levels the year before.
The consumer price index, which is heavily weighted toward food items, fell 1.5 percent in April from a year earlier after declining 1.2 percent in March and 1.6 percent in February, the National Statistics Bureau reported Monday.
Food prices fell 1.3 percent, with prices for meat falling 13.5 percent, the bureau said in a statement on its Web site.
A key factor then was shortages of pork due to an outbreak of blue ear disease. The ailment, also known as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, killed hundreds of thousands of pigs before it was brought under control.
The outbreak caused farmers to stop raising pigs because of worries they would become infected. That sent the price of pork – China's staple meat – sharply higher.
In April, pork prices plunged 28.6 percent, the Statistics Bureau said.
Meanwhile, it reported that producer prices fell 6.6 percent in April from a year earlier, compared with 6.0 percent in March, thanks largely to lower energy costs.
Overall, costs for fuel and raw materials fell 9.6 percent in April, the report said.
While a protracted bout of deflation would be unwelcome, April's decline was expected, and the data initially helped push share prices higher Monday.
But the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell back later in the day as investors sold shares to cash in on recent gains, ending 1.8 percent lower at 2,579.75.
Deflation is expected to persist for several months due to excess inventory in many industries amid the global economic downturn. Sharp declines in crude oil prices and costs for other commodities will ensure that.
But signs of economic recovery in China suggest a reduced risk for a prolonged bout of lower prices that could drag growth lower if consumers put off purchases in expectation of lower prices, forcing companies to cut wages and investment, economists say.
The government has pumped billions of dollars into construction projects and other spending aimed at stimulating demand and propping up growth. Recent improvements in manufacturing, auto sales and real estate transactions are seen as evidence the strategy has begun to work, despite persistently weak demand for Chinese exports in overseas markets.
"Deflationary concerns appear to be subsiding as the economy shows signs of recovery," Jing Ulrich, chairwoman for China equities at J.P.Morgan said in a report to clients.
"Consumer prices should show an uptrend in the second half of the year. Importantly, expectations of rising prices in the future will encourage consumer spending," Ulrich said.
Government moves to liberalize controls on utility rates and fuel prices, which have been kept lower than global levels, will also push prices higher, she said.
"It's too early to say, but we are worried that prices will begin to rebound by mid-year, leading to inflation" rather than deflation, said Gao Yi, an analyst at Oriental Securities in Shanghai.

Star Wars: The Old Republic has been live for only a few days but BioWare is already talking about new content. Today director James Ohlen provided gamers with a few details on the first major update that will be coming to the MMORPG.
"Next month we're going to be releasing a new Flashpoint and an expanded Operation," said Ohlen. The new Flashpoint involves a plague that could have significant repercussions across the galaxy. It takes place on a brand new world and involves some pretty epic battles. I can't go into much detail, but be prepared for something different."
"The expanded Operation takes the existing Karagga's palace scenario and more than triples it in size. It includes three new boss monsters and some pretty epic set pieces. You won't believe the last boss, so we've provided an image as a tease."
Operations are the large "raid" encounters for 8 to 16 players. Flashpoints are the 4 player "dungeons." Ohlen says that BioWare plans to release new Flashpoints, Operations, and player-versus-players Warzones "on a regular cadence."
Last week BioWare said that they have a number of new features in development as well. Guild capital ships and custom user interfaces are among the planned improvements.
The image from the expanded Karagga Operation is below. It shows a giant, spider-like robot boss.

The poem(s) are below...
I've flipped through the pages of every chapter of my life.
I've tried to cut out the bad, to burn the pain
only to cause more.
I've watched every scene like it was a movie,
wasted so much time wondering why.
Spent up energy on the tears I've cried.
Only to find myself gone once again.
I tried to steal the sun,
to rob the moon.
To shot every bright star
from the sky.
I somehow managed to find
a way through the foolish pride.
Only to realize it was only
black lies.
I attacked every sense,
every emotion.
Clarity, a thing I finally seen.
This life is mine,
fragile letting time fly by.
Wasting the precious moments in life.
Finally seeing there is more than just sadness
even on my darkest day...

You can see from the screenshots below that not much will change from the user interface.
Current User Interface
Prototype of New User Interface
There will be a short transition period, when the ticketing system will be unavailable. Support will still be provided via our call center (ext. SPOC or ext. 7762) during this time. Our anticipated dates for this transition will tentatively occur from November 16 thru November 26, 2017. We will have extra staff supporting the phone lines to account for the absence of the ticket system during this period. As always, we will continue to provide you with the best support and response times possible.

Gold, Silver Take a Dive as No QE3 In Sight
The gold futures took a huge dive earlier today after the Fed chairman, Ben Bernanke's, congressional testimony. Bernanke did not give any signals that the Fed would be considering any new easing to accelerate the economic growth in the United States, which sent the U.S. dollar and PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (NYSE: UUP) higher intraday.
The diminishing hopes of new easing also sent the gold futures lower and the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE: GLD) is down 5.16% on the session. Also the silver futures sunk nearly 7% on the session and the related ETF iShares Silver Trust ETF (NYSE: SLV) is trading $2.27 lower on the session at $33.51.
Precious metals, such as gold and silver have been seen as a safe haven against inflation that could be caused by the Fed's loose monetary policies and increase in money supply. The recent positive economic data has made it less likely that the central bank will announce any new measures to inject more money in the U.S. economy.
Overall, the U.S. dollar is expected to perform well if the current trend of no additional easing continues. Also, the improving economy could consumer discretionary stocks and Consumer Discretionary SPDR ETF (NYSE: XLY).

Lakers-Grizzlies Preview
The Memphis Grizzlies are contending for another Western Conference playoff berth in part because of their recent success at home.
The Grizzlies, though, will get fewer chances to play on their court down the stretch and will try to take advantage of a visit from the struggling Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night.
Memphis (31-24) appeared that it might struggle to claim a playoff spot for the fourth straight season after a 15-19 start, but it has won 16 of 21 since - including nine of its last 11 at home. That surge has pulled the Grizzlies within 1 1/2 games of Phoenix for eighth place in the West.
Memphis, though, will play 16 of its final 27 games on the road and will have just nine at home after this weekend. The Grizzlies will try to earn a season high-tying fourth consecutive victory at FedExForum by sending the Lakers (19-38) to their 26th loss in 32 games.
Los Angeles was blown out 118-98 at East-leading Indiana on Tuesday. With a career-high 23 points, recently acquired forward Kent Bazemore was the only Laker to score more than 15.
Bazemore was part of a three-player deal with Golden State last Wednesday, and his new club produced just 16 points in the third quarter Tuesday.
"We'll go back and watch the film and get a better idea of how badly we played," coach Mike D'Antoni said.
Despite its recent struggles, Los Angeles had won back-to-back road games before Tuesday's loss. The Lakers have split their two matchups with the Grizzlies this season, with each team winning on the other's home floor.
Los Angeles, though, is 7-25 since its 96-92 win in Memphis on Dec. 17 and 4-13 on the road.
The Grizzlies will try to add to the Lakers' woes with a fifth win in six games. Memphis rallied from a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter in Charlotte on Saturday but couldn't close out the Bobcats in a 92-89 loss that ended their four-game winning streak.
Mike Conley's jumper with 51 seconds left gave the Grizzlies a short-lived 87-86 lead. He scored a team-best 16 points but missed a pair of potential game-tying 3-pointers in the final seven seconds.
"We wanted to win, but the Charlotte Bobcats were the aggressors," guard Tony Allen said. "They were physical. ... They pretty much outworked us tonight."
Memphis has outworked Los Angeles on the glass this season by a 100-77 margin, and Zach Randolph has 27 of those rebounds along with 46 points. Randolph had a season-high 28 points and 11 rebounds in an 89-86 win in Los Angeles on Nov. 15.
Jodie Meeks is the top scorer against the Grizzlies among healthy Lakers, averaging 19.0 points on 57.7 percent shooting. Meeks had 25 points and made 10 of 16 shots in the Nov. 15 loss, which currently injured star Kobe Bryant (knee) also sat out.
Former Grizzlies forward Pau Gasol had 21 points and nine rebounds in the victory in Memphis on Dec. 17. Nick Young, who scored 18 points in each game, is out with a sprained left ankle.
The Grizzlies won four in a row at home Jan. 10-17.

A 1-year-old girl was shot in the head Tuesday morning in the South Chicago neighborhood, police said.
The child was with her 14-year-old aunt and the family dog at 84th Street and Muskegon Avenue when two unknown males started firing at a man on a bike, according to police.
The aunt tried to shield the baby, who was taken to Advocate Trinity Hospital and later transferred to Children's Memorial Hospital. Community activist Andrew Holmes said the child was in extremely critical condition.
Police said she was going into surgery just after 1 p.m.
A 14-year-old witness and neighbor who did not want to be identified said she has lived in the neighborhood for three years and that the community has a major gang problem.
"I was sleeping and I heard shooting and I heard a girl screaming," she said.
"I don't like living here. It's too dangerous for people, especially for kids these days, because they might get shot or killed," she said.
