Bosphorous Cymbals had a good showing at the 2013 Winter NAMM Show with some new and unusual models, including the unique China Hi-Hats.
With even more kits made from the company's own custom shells and a new line of metal snare drums, C&C Custom Drums had a lot to talk about this year.
Acoutin's booth was yet another smorgasbord of unique snares featuring interlocking shell segments made from a variety of wood and metal materials.
We found yet another NAMM newcomer at the 2013 Winter show when we discovered Exodus Cymbals, a new brand offering multiple models made of B25 bronze.
Would you like to tour nearly every drum and percussion booth at the 2013 Winter NAMM Show in five minutes and fourteen seconds? Well, now you can!
Join us on a tour of the Truth Custom Drums booth at 32013 Winter NAMM for some cool drum designs that straddle the chasm between retro and radical.
We got our first chance to meet the craftsmen behind So Cal Custom Drums earlier this year at the company's Winter NAMM debut, and liked what we saw.
We just happened to have a couple video cameras rolling when Acuña took the stage with his band the Unknowns at 2013 Sabian Live.
Every year Rotek has unveiled an even more refined version of their tuning mechanism at the NAMM Show. This year looks and feels like they've arrived.

Full Extension
Busting boundaries and high steppin'
This week opens the 2012-2013 season for the Tulsa Ballet. Kicking things off with a superb trilogy that has something for everybody.
"The first piece, PreSentient by Wayne McGregor, is going to push the boundaries of what we consider to be dance today," Marcello Angelini said in his role as TBT's artistic director. "Slice to Sharp is pushing the boundaries of what is technically and physically possible for a classical ballet dancer to do, and Age of Innocence is a piece that's going to leave everybody totally stunned with its beauty and its complexity and its multiple textures."
Literally, then, there's something for everyone. You've got the modern, to-hell-with-tradition piece, you've got a piece that is physically badass, and you've got a beautiful piece at the end. And the people creating these dances are no slouches, either.
"All the choreographers are three huge shots, really," Angelini said. "We call this caliber of choreographers -- Edwaard Liang, Wayne McGregor, Jorma Elo -- the people who are sitting on the Olympus of dance -- sort of the top 10 or 20 choreographers in the world."
As if to prove his point of how awesome the three choreographers of the dances comprising Age of Innocence, he rattles off names of companies with which these three have worked.
"These three choreographers are really, really huge," he said. "They spend most of their careers choreographing for companies like the Royal Ballet in London, the Paris Opera in Paris, which is the largest company in the world, the Bolshoi Moscow, the Boston Ballet, San Francisco, all of the tier one ballet companies in the world, so it's great to have them here in Tulsa."
PreSentient is a primal piece, and Angelini said that choreographer McGregor was looking to shake things up.
"McGregor is the choreographer who is pushing the boundaries of what we consider to be contained within the boundaries of 'the box,'" Angelini said. "We say to think outside the box, but we're all boxed in. Wayne is the one who is extending the box for everybody in the world."
The technically difficult piece of the evening, "Slice to Sharp," comes from Jorma Elo, who has also choreographed for pretty much every major ballet in the world.
{image-1]"Slice to Sharp was created for the New York City Ballet -- specifically for eight stars of the New York City Ballet," Angelini said. "New York City Ballet is the largest American ballet company, and one of the top ballet companies in the world. It's just an incredible piece. When we talk about pushing boundaries, 'Slice to Sharp' pushes the technical capabilities of every single dancer in the cast. It stretches them well beyond what we think is possible."
Then there's the piece that is admittedly Anglini's favorite.
"'Age of Innocence' is what I call the triple chocolate velvet cake of the evening," he said. "It's a piece that is so rich, so multi-textured, so emotionally and aesthetically fulfilling. It's one of my all-time favorite pieces. I mean, the piece is stunningly beautiful. It's one of those pieces you could watch 100 times and every time find something new in it."
Catch your first viewing of it September 14, 15, or 16. Tickets and more information can be found at tulsaballet.org or by calling 918-749-6006.
The Music of Stephen Sondheim
This weekend, Tulsa's Signature Symphony brings to town the music of a Broadway legend.
With The Music of Stephen Sondheim, SS will remind us all that while some love him, and some loathe him, nobody can say that Sondheim isn't a master of what he does, according to G. Barry Epperly, SS's conductor and artistic director.
"My feeling is that Sondheim was and is the finest Broadway composer of the second half of the last century," he said. "Maybe he didn't have quite the run of Phantom of the Opera or Cats had, because you have to think to listen to his music. Not everybody who goes to a Broadway show wants to think."
"The songs he did with other composers was just kind of marvelous," Epperly said, preparing for a history lesson. "He [wrote the lyrics for] West Side Story kind of late. When I was teaching Bernstein a few years ago, I learned that Sondheim saved that show, because [composer Leonard] Bernstien had written the lyrics himself, and they were awful."
Well, you learn something new every day. Today's lesson is that there was actually something that Leonard Bernstein didn't do well. Good to know!
So he's put together a show featuring the music and lyrics from more than ten Sondheim shows, and he's pretty excited about it. Considering Epperly's perception of his last experience with bringing Sondheim's music to Tulsa, he's hoping for some redemption.
"We did a concert about 20 years ago that Sondheim himself put together," Epperly said. "It was some of his favorite stuff. This was with orchestra, but it wasn't really well-received. I had people leave at intermission, and I wanted to collar them and say, 'What are you doing? This is the best there is!' But his stuff is sometimes hard for people to understand. Some of his music is so lyric-centric that finding the thought and emotion in them can be difficult."
This time, though, Epperly seems certain that his love of Sondheim will spill over to the audience.
Let the music do that for you this weekend. The Music of Stephen Sondheim is part of the Signature Symphony's TTCU Signature Pops Series and will play at TCC's VanTrease Performing Arts Center for Education on September 14 and 15. Curtain is at 8pm, and tickets can be had at 918-595-7777.
"Mochas with the Musicologist"
Saturday at the Double Shot Coffee Company, Chamber Music Tulsa (CMT) presents "Mochas with the Musicologist."
As part of CMT's ongoing efforts to educate audience members on everything from the history of the music they hear to concert etiquette, this talk will both serve as a preview for the first half of CMT's coming season, as well as function as a Q&A, allowing CMT audience members to get answered any musical questions that may have been pestering them. Bruce Sorrell, executive director of CMT, said that the speaker for "Mochas with the Musicologist" is quite knowledgeable.
"Our musicologist is Jason Heilman, who does our pre-concert talks and he knows lots and is able to communicate it well," Sorrell said.
This is but the latest in a series of audience education offerings that Sorrell and CMT has been serving up of late, and should continue.
"We're making a real effort at audience education," he said. "We've been doing pre-concert talks, and this is an expansion of that. We're also going to do three concert rewinds this season after the concerts so people can come to the Rooftop bar at the Mayo and mingle with the musicians and talk about what they've heard."
Anything involving music in a bar will require a closer look from someone here at UTW. Here's hoping it's me.

No problems.Pros: -Price Cons: -none Other Thoughts: Better then the on board audio from my asus 970 mobo.I hear stuff that i couldn't before in games. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works greatPros: Nice sound - had to buy to replace on-board sound which died on me Cons: not free? Did you find this review helpful? |
it was lost during shippingPros: Newegg is the best when there is a problem, they gave me a full credit because ups must have lost it+++++++ Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Driver PainsPros: - Cheap Cons: - Driver install is awful Other Thoughts: Took me almost 3 hours to install this device; driver setup would run and then stop at the end stating the card needed to be inserted (which it already was). Well, after searching online for a while, I found a post stating to use a 3rd party tool to remove all traces of the Asus drivers in safe mode, then power down, pull the card out, re-insert, boot normally and then run the driver setup with 'run as Administrator' - finally the driver installed completely. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Bang for you buck fidelityPros: Great Price Cons: I/O could be a better but for the price what can you expect, includes all the basics so not worth deducting an egg Other Thoughts: This card is THE perfect entry level-mid range audiophile sound card. This rivals >100 dollar DACS at a fraction of the price and includes a amp for up to 80 ohm headphones. Did you find this review helpful? |
Drivers poor, sound quiet.Pros: Specs look excellent on paper, 105*C capacitors, has spdif. Cons: I have several OS for various tasks, I primarily use windows server 2003 for media. Asus does not support drivers for this so i tried the XP drivers since they are similar and usually packaged together. Other Thoughts: After hours of attempting to install drivers I went ahead and tested it in XP pro. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works wellPros: This card works very well. Drivers easy to install. Obvious improvement to quality if you use an integrated motherboard sound system. Cons: I had an issue once while installing deivers that made it impossible to continue the driver installation process. I simply restarted my computer and did it again with no issues. With the very short installation process, it was no big deal. Did you find this review helpful? |
Sounds great, very HDPros: -Gives immerse HD sound with little to no worry. Cons: -Does give off some static when I run processes and do other stuff on my system (e.g. Run Games, Scroll) Other Thoughts: Although this sound card is really good at what it does, the added static when playing games or doing other things makes this one loose an egg. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: + It works, and the recent driver (4/18/2013) installed with no problems. Cons: - None Other Thoughts: For every PC builder out there, it's worth the $25 to get a dedicated sound card. This is coming from someone that used to think on-board sound was fine. I can easily tell the difference. Did you find this review helpful? |
Much better than integratedPros: Definately a step up from my integrated sound card. I bought this to match my corsair vengeance 1300's. My integrated card was very quite, weak, and had absolutely no bass or equalizer to change the settings. The drivers were easy to install but they took quite a while. Cons: I had an issue getting the rear I/O to recognise the microphone but decided to use the front panel connector because i didn't want to fiddle with it. Other Thoughts: The only previous sound card I had was a dated creative sound blaster that was really more of a struggle than it was worth. Did you find this review helpful? |

Linux has gotten much better at handling printers through the years, but you are right that printing problems still occur, and they are a major source of anxiety, for new users. We have covered Linux printing in the past, but the landscape has certainly changed since our Print cover theme back in November 2004. We'll try to line up a nice big printing article sometime in the next few issues. In the meantime, everyone should visit http://www.LinuxPrinting.org (which now links to the Linux Foundation's OpenPrinting web page) for information on printing in Linux. There, you'll find configuration and driver information, as well as a CUPS tutorial, user forums with answers to printing questions, and software.
Thanks for the great magazine and keep on giving us even better.
I was a little bit anxious by a phrase in your September issue, page 23, in the article by Kurt Seifried which read "… and it wasn't too long before we got JavaScript from Sun and a variety …" The JavaScript programming language is originally from Netscape, as you probably already know, and even though it is now one of Sun's trademarks, I believe that phrase may be just a little bit misleading for younger generations.
Emre Sevinc
Yes, you are right. Our apologies. JavaScript was developed by Netscape under the name Mocha, and it was later called LiveScript before taking the name JavaScript. To be fair, it is worth pointing out that Netscape and Sun apparently stirred up much of this name confusion intentionally as part of a co-branding effort. According to Wikipedia:

RBN ensures it gets kept under covers. Don't count on it.
But you can try going on different authoring websites to see if they have what they are working with.

"And onward now, and on forever, all great things to come"
If you go to creators.rockband.com, create an account, and then go to any author's page (usually by search for them in the Creators section or going through the page of a song they authored), you can usually see what they have in playtest and review. Officially, though, I think it's supposed to be up to the author's (and whoever they've licensed the songs from) discretion to announce what they're working on, so there isn't going to be any official list. The songs in playtest and peer review are not officially public information, as far as I know.
Just the profile pages. I have all the important ones bookmarked.
[] Dizzy Mizz Lizzy [] Dover [] Guano Apes [] More Miley Cyrus
[] The Rasmus [] The Veronicas [] More Volbeat
Just the profile pages as far as I recall, so there's no one-stop list of all songs in the pipeline. The best you can do is check as many author profiles as you know of but then there are label accounts and new authors so it's pretty much impossible to get a full list without a subscription. Also, there will always be some songs between revisions at any given time so you can't be 100% sure even with full access.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Dan Kildee, along with 88 other members of congress, asked the Postmaster General to keep Saturday mail delivery for prescription drugs.
In the letter to Postmaster General Patrick Donahue the congressmen point out that many homebound seniors rely on the delivery of prescription drugs to thier homes in a timely fasion.
The Fifth Congressional District, Congressman Kildee's district, there are approximately 122,000 citizens over the age of 65, 63,000 veterans, and nearly 65,000 people with disabilities, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
According to the Department of Defense, the government saved $33,000,000 in 2010 through the use of TRICARE Home Delivery alone.
The U.S. Postal Service had said it would end all Saturday delivery except for packages starting in August.

While California is dealing with its debt -- JPMorgan is cleaning house.
A top executive becomes the first casually over the bank's two billion dollar trading -- But expect sellers to follow joining me now Paul O'Neill the former Treasury Secretary for president George W.
Welcome to the show great to see you -- I'm going to be here well I wanted to talk to you first about JPMorgan Chase in this lost two billion dollar loss but.
Assets of 2.2 trillion now people calling for more regulation of the banking industry may -- even breaking up the big banks what's the right solution.
Terry and I thought for a long time before they path of 2500.
Dodd-Frank bill that there was a two state solution to fixing our financial system the first -- who would say.
Whenever anyone -- -- home mortgage in this country they should put 20% equity down and it should not be permitted to dilute.
The equity investment through financial engineering and trading of securities -- the second page should say.
All financial institutions and all financial transactions.
Have to have a 20% equity component and then we don't need when he 500 patient.
I said that the senator -- -- when they were doing Dodd-Frank and he said you know what -- that's right but we can't do that so here we are.
You know I think for the JPMorgan.
It should be okay for for companies to fail.
So long as it doesn't affect the system and so long and we the taxpayers don't have to pick up the pieces.
So if we require my 20% reserve requirements for JPMorgan for chase and they have.
I don't know how many how many you say trillions one point two trillion dollar book and assets -- have to have.
I had 200 billion dollar worth of reserves.
So that.
We the people would never be at risk if they want to make stupid -- Let them do -- We know and your idea I can just hear what the bankers would say in response they say you're killing CMO market.
-- will will not be able to trade mortgages that's just not very should regulate the private sector how would you respond.
They can trade mortgages but they always have to keep the 20% equity component intact.
You know what they won't say as well from my -- -- -- -- well this thing could happen you know they don't have any evidence for that but they'll play.
If that will reduce the capital avail for -- loans if we can't leverage flight were to leveraging now and I say I'd rather protect the system.
And have a 20% really firm 20%.
Equity component every financial transaction and we could go to sleep we would never have to worry about our system facing a meltdown again.
I think that's why people are so upset now that doesn't represent a huge part up.
A proportion of JPMorgan Chase's assets obviously.
But he just reminds you.
Of what happened back in 2007 and 2008 and that's why people are so upset and maybe rightly so because they figure American taxpayer dollars could be at risk down the road do you think they are.
I think they could be the way the system is structured now -- -- we have in my.
Policy in place the taxpayers would never be at risk and what I say has.
Hey Jamie of the two billion dollars between you and your shareholders they may not like -- -- doing you should settle with them.
But we should not -- any institutions in the country put the system have to risk.
And we had fear strong.
In force reserve -- we would not have to worry about this again.
-- -- the logic trail first of this disaster we've got facing us with the European dissolution of the Euro and the rest of that.
When I was at the treasury I tried to get people to agree.
That we would.
-- collective action closets into every sovereign debt instrument.
So that there would be a mechanism for avoiding the kind of situation we've got increased now along with an agreement.
At the IMF and the World Bank -- -- the world they're not ever gonna bailout a country again so that when.
Banks and other people bought sovereign debt they would have to do due diligence and they wouldn't let people get them sleep itself from -- and they.

An Eden home was subject to three days of police investigation following the discovery of an alleged drug lab on Sunday morning.
Police were called after a distraught young man was seen by golfers at Eden Gardens Country Club and nearby residents at about 11.15am.
After speaking with the 22-year-old man, police attended a Storey Avenue home where they found suspicious equipment and chemicals believed to be used in the manufacture of prohibited substances.
Police established a crime scene, with Fire and Rescue Eden on-site in case of fire, and a drug investigation squad was dispatched from Sydney.
The on-site investigation and dismantling of the clandestine lab continued until Tuesday afternoon.
Police believe they have recovered a quantity of prohibited drug and are analysing the substance along with other chemicals and equipment seized.
No charges have been laid.
Rumours abounded in Eden over the past few days that bodies had found at the scene, but this has been denied by police.

The vast majority of Americans will pay higher federal taxes in 2013.
KIRKSVILLE, MO -- The vast majority of Americans will pay higher federal taxes in 2013.
The tax package negotiated by President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans was passed by Congress. The approval will protect 99 percent of Americans from an income tax increase, but that does not mean we are in the clear! Many workers will still see their taxes rise.
Steven Sorhus, a local accountant tells us what this means for taxpayers.
"What's going to effect taxpayers most is that payroll tax hike," Sorhus said. "So for the last two years we've been enjoying a holiday of 2 percent on Social Security tax that hasn't been taken out of our pay checks every month, that's going to end."
The higher federal taxes are largely because of a temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes. The payroll taxes in Social Security expired on New Year's Day, and the tax package did nothing to prevent that from happening.
Sorhus tells us many will notice the change in their next paycheck. He said it's going to be a little less than it was and it will be that way indefinitely.
A nonpartisan Washington research group, estimates that 77 percent of American households will face higher federal taxes in 2013, under the agreement.
High-income families will get the biggest tax increases, but many middle- and low- income families will pay higher taxes as well.

May 7, 2008 Nairobi/Barcelona – Due to the kidnapping of two of its humanitarian workers last December, the international medical organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) decided to close on the 15th of April all its remaining medical and nutritional operations for the internally displaced people (IDP) living at the outskirts of Bossaso. Immediately after the end of the kidnapping, MSF decided to suspend the presence of all its international staff in Bossaso and to rely on national staff to run the medical and nutritional activities. Their great dedication and total commitment has been essential for the continuation of the nutritional assistance provided to malnourished children in the IDP camps. "But the lack of acceptable security conditions left the organization with no other option than to finally close the project," said Dr. Roger Teck, MSF Director of Operations. However, MSF would like to highlight the deteriorated health situation of the internally displaced people living at the outskirts of Bossaso in very precarious conditions. Women and children are the most affected by the long humanitarian crisis causing suffering, malnutrition, and increased risk of diseases and death. In December 2007, the results of the nutritional survey carried out by MSF showed an alarming high level (27.2 %) of global acute malnutrition with 9.4 % severe acute malnutrition, all of these figures above emergency threshold levels. During the seven months that the project was running, MSF admitted 1,957 severely malnourished children in its nutritional program, 516 of them children who had to be hospitalized for in-patient therapeutic feeding and care. MSF has worked continuously in Somalia for more than 17 years and is currently providing medical care in 10 regions in the country. In 2007, several new projects were opened as a response to the medical and humanitarian consequences of the current war. In 2007 medical teams performed more than 2,500 surgical operations, 520,000 outpatient consultations and admitted around 23,000 patients to hospitals. |

Parnell said, "The Club for Growth has individuals that belong to it that contribute to campaigns ... my entire report to date is made up of individuals contributing to my campaign."
The group is made up of large corporate contributors and multi-millionaire corporate businessmen. So technically, they'd be considered "individuals" if they wrote the checks personally, but likely they were "bundled" from the group as Young stated. That's just a tad misleading.
And when it was Parnell's turn to poke at Young I'm sure he considered asking about major issues like the economy, the energy crisis, military issues, or perhaps education, right? Wrong. He went after the congressman for a vote he made supporting workers rights. Huh? He had one question to take Congressman Young on with, and he challenges his support of workers. Unbelievable.
And worse, Parnell bungled it. He seemed to know very little about the issue. The legislation is actually called the Employee Free Choice Act. He made two absolutely false statements about the legislation. He said it "would require employees in a business to have an open ballot when voting whether or not to organize a union." And he said "it takes away the secret ballot." He's wrong on both counts.
Beltrami is correct to note that, of the five AK-AL U.S. House candidates, only Parnell is opposed to this legislation. But he might have added that Young missed a very important vote last week in Congress. A week ago, the U.S. House passed the Paycheck Fairness Act, despite opposition from most Republicans. Here's what the bill seeks to do, according to Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro:
"With this resolution, we take up an effort that began more than 150 years ago when visionary women came together to stand up for women's rights, to better the status of women in our society. In this tradition, more than 11 years ago, I first introduced the legislation that we consider this morning, the Paycheck Fairness Act, and I cannot help but think of all the Aprils we have commemorated Equal Pay Day without legislative movement. But today the legislative inertia we have experienced for years have come to an end. The wage gap is real... Over the course of her lifetime, a female high school graduate will make $700,000 less than the young man she graduates with. Compared to a man, a female college graduate stands to lose up to $2 million in the course of her career. This is true across the board."
Don Young was one of nine congress members who failed to be there for the vote.

Posts tagged silicone
Silicone plugs are soft and malleable, allowing a relatively large plug to be inserted into the ear. Once folded and inserted into the ear, they expand, stretching the earlobe. And this in part is what makes it dangerous. Its not recommended to use silicone plugs to stretch, due to the tacky, porous surface. The stretched ear can adhere to the silicone and an airtight seal can be created, trapping infection and causing it to spread internally. Also because silicone expands and contracts in temperature change, they can swell and potentially blow out a newly stretched ear. It does not provide an even stretch and it can also push out all of the oil from between your lobe and the silicone causing your ear to grow into the porous silicone, same with acrylic, not to mention it can cause lobe splitting, tearing, blowouts, ripping, anything you can think of when trying to use to size up. If you're using a taper you can stop if it hurts or is difficult, but silicone doesn't give you that option. We have seen people come in because they tried stretching with silicone and their ears were swollen and painful, and when we take a look, their ear has adhered/attached to the silicone, needing to be cut out of their ear. Stretching with and/or wearing anything that is porous is very bad.
Why it's bad for long wear: Silicone can swell and is not always accurate to size, which can cause very small tears in your lobes that you can't see, which can cause infection and bleeding, and as opposed to organic or steel plugs, instead of absorbing or just pushing out the natural sweat, and ear gunk your ear produces, it pushes it (as well as bacteria) back into your lobe, again, causing infection.(Pretty much same reasons it is bad to stretch with.)
How do I recommend stretching? Go to a reputable professional piercer and have them do it. After all they are professionals. At the shop I work at we stretch/taper for free with the purchase of jewelry (if it is your own jewelry it is a $10 charge). We do that because we don't want to see people damaging their ears by doing things like stretching with silicone and acrylic, or wearing tapers in their ears. Tapers are a piercing tool, they are not made to be worn in the ear.
I hope this helps. The important thing is to educate yourself as much as you can about any type of body modification you get. For piercings, and amazing book to read is the Piercing Bible by Elaine Angel. It explains why things are done certain ways and what to look for in a piercing shop, and why there are piercings that aren't recommended, and more. I almost think it is something everyone should be required to read before they get a piercing.

The Wild Dogs of Thailand
The Wild Dogs of Thailand
Many homes have dogs in them which are very vicious also, and are let out during the day so that when children or adults walk or are on bikes etc,past they are attacked by these dogs. This should not be acceptable not in this day and age. The owners of said dogs should be prosecuted should they attack and harm a person, and the animal put down. How many people have walked past a house/building and have had dogs chase after them? snarling teeth bared ready to bite.
A dog does not have to be this way, but it seems that many owners like them this way. A dog is a very dangerous animal and will even attack the owner aswell.
A dog should be a pet and trained to behave not be just a vicious animal. If a dog is trained properly then it will naturaly protect where it lives and the owner also, it will not attack anyone walking past or threaten anyone also. The fouling of areas also by dog excrement is a very real health hazard aswell.
I do belive that the government should realy be doing something about this situation, maybe even bring in a dog licience so that no one can own a dog without a licience.

NISKAYUNA - A 5K run and one-mile walk in Niskayuna kicked off at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the Town Hall in solidarity with the Strides for Sandy Hook 5K taking place in Connecticut.
The money raised will benefit the Newtown Park Gift Fund to build a memorial in honor of the teachers and children lost at Sandy Hook.
At the request of the Sandy Hook families, a portion of the funds will be directed locally to the Van Antwerp Middle School Best Buddies program and the Niskayuna fire department in honor of Grace Kline. The 14-year-old Van Antwerp student died in a fire earlier this month.
The Niskayuna Strides for Sandy Hook 5K was organized by Niskayuna Moms on the Run.

Jurors have started deliberating in the child sex abuse trial of ex-Penn St. assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Earlier, Sandusky's defense attorney says he is a victim of lawyers and accusers with financial motives and a legal system that thought he was guilty before he was even charged.
In his closing argument Thursday, Joe Amendola said investigators determined Sandusky was a dangerous sex offender as far back as 2008, then coached his alleged victims to give accusatory statements.
Amendola says there are no winners in this case. Even if Sandusky is acquitted, he says his client's life has already been destroyed, as have the reputations of many, including Joe Paterno.
Sandusky is charged with 48 criminal counts involving the alleged sexual abuse of 10 boys.
Prosecutors say Sandusky is a pedophile who preyed on vulnerable boys. (AP)

The potential tab for winning Super Bowl 50 continues to grow for Miami-Dade County.
Over the weekend, the Miami Dolphins switched gears and began pushing for a quick referendum on using public dollars for about half of a $400 million renovation of Sun Life Stadium. The team contends the upgrade is key to bringing the 50th Super Bowl to Miami Gardens in 2016. That game will be awarded by May 22, and the Dolphins want Miami-Dade to hold a special countywide election before NFL owners vote.
Holding a special election could cost as much as $5 million, county officials said, and the urgency tied to the Super Bowl contest is sure to put pressure on the Dolphins to compensate Miami-Dade for the expense.
"I'm not at all favorable to the idea of us paying for it,'' County Commissioner Xavier Suarez said Sunday while describing himself as "heartened" by the Dolphins' decision to endorse a referendum.
Dolphins executives were mum over the weekend on whether owner Stephen Ross would offer to pay for an election the team has previously resisted, or if they're aware of a legal way to reimburse the county. Though racetracks paid Broward and Miami-Dade about $7 million as compensation for a 2005 special election on a ballot issue they wanted passed, state law generally bars local governments from taking money for an election.
The rush for a referendum marks a big pivot by a team that has resisted letting the public vote on public funding for Sun Life since it first began lobbying for government help in 2010. And it also puts even more of a spotlight on the potential rewards for hosting the 50th Super Bowl rather than the 52nd or 53rd, since a revamped stadium would probably make Miami Gardens a strong contender for future Super Bowls whenever the upgrade took place.
"It's the golden anniversary game," Rodney Barreto, chair of South Florida Super Bowl Committee and one of the Dolphins' most vocal backers, said of Super Bowl 50. "It's an opportunity that only comes along once in a lifetime.''
If Miami-Dade had to pay for the election, it could dilute a central part of Ross' campaign for the kind of tax support already in place at Marlins Park and the Miami Heat's American Airlines Arena. In unveiling the proposed funding plan last month, Ross issued a pledge that the upgrades would mean no new expenses for Miami-Dade taxpayers.
Instead, $199 million of the costs would come from a new $3 million state subsidy for Sun Life and increasing the taxes hotel guests in mainland Miami-Dade hotels to 7 percent from 6 percent.
Ross, a billionaire real estate developer based in New York, has pushed back on calls for him to fund the entire renovation himself, given the $210 million in renovations the team paid for in 2007, the $1 billion he paid for the team in 2009, and the economic boost that goes to the region from a major sporting event.
On a program aired Sunday, WPLG-ABC 10's Michael Putney asked Dolphins CEO Mike Dee to respond to criticism that the plan is "welfare for billionaires." Dee answered: "Just because somebody is wealthy enough doesn't mean he should invest money in a way that is unwise. Mr. Ross has made a tremendous commitment to this franchise, and to this community."

A plea deal looks to be in the works for a 29-year-old man accused of videotaping a teenage girl while she changed out of her bathing suit in a hotel bathroom in last October.
According to a Marshfield newspaper, the 15-year-old girl was in a public restroom at the Comfort Inn & Suites in Marshfield when she saw a cellphone on the floor near a garbage can in the record mode.
Police were notified and traced the phone to Joseph Wright. He is charged with capturing an image of nudity and invasion of privacy.
According to the Marshfield newspaper, a man resembling Wright was seen on the video setting the phone down and running from the bathroom. They say Wright later admitted to recording women during an interview with police.
Wright's trial was scheduled for Wednesday, however it was changed to a plea hearing scheduled for March 22.

This past week there've been several articles about balancing work and family that interested me. Scott Jaschik reported on the Irvine study that analyzed academic women's "quiet desperation" in Inside Higher Ed last Thursday. The same day, a pseudonymous writer in the Chronicle of Higher Ed wrote about being unable to talk about her children in a job interview.

Way back when I was fresh out of college, I tried to augment my meager salary by taking on some part-time sales work. As a result, I was exposed to some sales training. It didn't help much at the time -- my commissions didn't pay for more than my gasoline (even though a gallon then went for the price of a pint now). But I learned things which helped me later in life, so some of it must have stuck.

Although I kinda expected it to suck – which it did – this weekend I took TW to see the new Indiana Jones movie. She's had a thing for Harrison Ford ever since Star Wars, and she loved loved loved the first three Indy movies.
Nobody warned me that it was a comedy. I actually laughed out loud, hard, at this one:
The Dean: It's the FBI. They've ransacked your office!
Indy: But you're the dean of the college! Couldn't you stop them?
Me, in audience: HA!
Nobody else in the theater laughed. I thought it was the highlight of the movie.

Botanical name
A botanical name is a formal scientific name conforming to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) and, if it concerns a plant cultigen, the additional cultivar and/or Group epithets must conform to the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants. The code of nomenclature covers "all organisms traditionally treated as plants, whether fossil or non-fossil, e.g. blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria); fungi, including chytrids, oomycetes, and slime moulds; photosynthetic protists and taxonomically related non-photosynthetic groups."[1]
The purpose of a formal name is to have a single name that is accepted and used worldwide for a particular plant or plant group. For example, the botanical name Bellis perennis denotes a plant species which is native to most of the countries of Europe and the Middle East, where it has accumulated various names in many languages. Later it has been introduced worldwide, bringing it into contact with more languages. English names for this plant species include: daisy,[2] English daisy,[3] lawndaisy.[4] The cultivar Bellis perennis 'Aucubifolia' is a golden-variegated horticultural selection of this species.
The botanical name itself is fixed by a type, which is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name is formally attached. In other words, a type is an example that serves to anchor or centralize the defining features of that particular taxon.
The usefulness of botanical names is limited by the fact that taxonomic groups are not fixed in size; a taxon may have a varying circumscription, depending on the taxonomic system, thus, the group that a particular botanical name refers to can be quite small according to some people and quite big according to others. For example, the traditional view of the family Malvaceae has been expanded in some modern approaches to include what were formerly considered to be several closely related families. Some botanical names refer to groups that are very stable (for example Equisetaceae, Magnoliaceae) while for other names a careful check is needed to see which circumscription is being used (for example Fabaceae, Amygdaloideae, Taraxacum officinale).
Depending on rank, botanical names may be in one part (genus and above), two parts (species and above, but below the rank of genus) or three parts (below the rank of species):
- in one part
- Plantae (the plants)
- Marchantiophyta (the liverworts)
- Magnoliopsida (class including the family Magnoliaceae)
- Liliidae (subclass including the family Liliaceae)
- Pinophyta (the conifers)
- Fagaceae (the beech family)
- Betula (the birch genus)
- in two parts
- Acacia subg. Phyllodineae (the wattles)
- Berberis thunbergii (Japanese barberry)
- in three parts
- Calystegia sepium subsp. americana (American hedge bindweed)
- Crataegus azarolus var. pontica (a Mediterranean hawthorn)
A name in three parts, i.e., an infraspecific name (a name for a taxon below the rank of species) needs a "connecting term" to indicate rank. In the Calystegia example above, this is "subsp." (for subspecies). In botany there are many ranks below that of species (in zoology there is only one such rank, subspecies, so that this "connecting term" is unnecessary there). A name of a "subdivision of a genus" also needs a connecting term (in the Acacia example above, this is "subg.", subgenus). The connecting term is not part of the name itself.
A taxon may be indicated by a listing in more than three parts: "Saxifraga aizoon var. aizoon subvar. brevifolia f. multicaulis subf. surculosa Engl. & Irmsch." but this is a classification, not a formal botanical name. The botanical name is Saxifraga aizoon subf. surculosa Engl. & Irmsch. (ICBN Art 24: Ex 1).
Generic, specific, and infraspecific botanical names are usually printed in italics. The example set by the ICBN is to italicize all botanical names, including those above genus, though the ICBN preface states: "The Code sets no binding standard in this respect, as typography is a matter of editorial style and tradition not of nomenclature". Most peer-reviewed scientific botanical publications do not italicize names above the rank of genus, and non-botanical scientific publications do not, which is in keeping with two of the three other kinds of scientific name; zoological and bacterial (viral names above genus are italicized, a new policy adopted in the early 1990s).
Binary name[edit]
For botanical nomenclature, the ICBN prescribes a two-part name or binary name for any taxon below the rank of genus down to, and including the rank of species. Taxa below the rank of species get a three part (infraspecific name).
The ranks explicitly mentioned in the ICBN as having a binary name are:
A binary name consists of the name of a genus and an epithet.
- In the case of a species this is a specific epithet:
- Bellis perennis is the name of a species, with perennis the specific epithet. There is no connecting term involved, to indicate the rank
- In the case of a subdivision of a genus (subgenus, section, subsection, series, subseries, etc.) the name consists of the name of a genus and a subdivisional epithet. A connecting term should be placed before the subdivisional epithet to indicate the rank.
- Paraserianthes sect. Falcataria
More than two parts[edit]
- In the case of a cultivar there is an additional cultivar epithet (this is a non-Latin part of the botanical name and is not written in italics). The cultivar epithet may follow either the botanical name of the species, or the name of the genus only, or the common name of the genus or species (provided the common name is unambiguous). The generic name, followed by the cultivar name, is often used when the parentage of a particular hybrid cultivar is uncertain or when it cannot be linked with certainty to a particular species.
- Bellis perennis is the name of a species, with perennis the specific epithet and 'Aucubifolia' the cultivar epithet.
- Sometimes a subdivision of a genus may be indicated with a listing in three or more parts. However, this is not its formal name. Its botanical name is in two parts.

There's really only 6 OSes on that list (Classic Mac OS, DOS, Windows NT, OS/2, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux). You're listing version numbers and flavors. And those are really just consumer OSes. Top 10 best OSes :
1. z/OS, aka : OS390/MVS/the daddy. 2. HP-UX 3. Solaris 4. VMS/OpenVMS 5. GNU/Linux in any incarnation 6. BeOS (Would be higher if Be Inc. had managed to get some traction, the OS was fantastic, just lacked applications to use it's awesome multi-threading support). 7. NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/Mac OS X Really I'd stop there as far as my experience goes. Though if you asked me to continue, it'd probably say : 8. AIX (Smitty is cool, didn't quite play enough with it). 9. VxWorks (runs about everything that's embedded out there that isn't Linux) 10. Windows NT, just for finally bringing multi-user and true security facilities to consumers and mass-market PCs.

I'll do five favorites and five least favorites.
Favorites on the Mac side Mac OS 10.2 Jaguar (it made Mac OS X useable as a primary OS) Mac OS 10.5 Leopard (most ambitious of the Mac OS X releases, added a ton of new end user features) Mac OS 10.0 Cheetah (it redefined the modern operating system and saved Apple with its consumer-oriented UI, transparency, modern kernel, memory management, etc) Favorites on the Microsoft side Windows 95 (Microsoft's only major contribution to the desktop GUI, IMO; most innovative operating system Microsoft has ever released especially when you consider Microsoft's fast work on Internet Explorer including its crazy futuristic integration with the desktop GUI - WebDAV folders, RSS-like features, HTML customizations, etc) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Desktop_Update Windows XP (NT kernel, modern search, after SP2 modern security, etc) Least Favorites on the Mac side Mac OS 9 (clearly a stop gap release with quirky features like VoicePrint password that never worked) Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard (should have been a software update to Leopard users; still firmly believe the only reason it was released was because the majority of Apple's OS engineering resources were devoted solely to iOS during this period time) [I won't even mention the System 7 updates that showed Apple's management had a complete lack of vision at that time] Least Favorites on the Microsoft side Windows ME (horrendous stability, rushed to market) Windows 98/98SE (pointless upgrade although at least Windows Update was introduced with it) Windows Vista/Longhorn (complete disaster all around, best example yet of Microsoft making billions of dollars on a clearly inferior product) |

I actually really liked SL for this reason. It's refreshing to see an OS whose focus is improving the existing system, not tacking on new features for the sake of it. And it was priced like a software update, unlike previous versions of OSX.

1. Windows XP - It lasted more than 8 years on the market, and was a great OS for it's time. Towards the end it was a little long in it's tooth, but there's no doubt that it was one of the most influential OSes ever, plus I enjoyed using it.
2. Mac OS X Snow Leopard - Rock solid OS with all the features I could ever want, NEVER had a problem with it. Last true Mac desktop OS without gimmicky iOS features. 3. Mac OS X Tiger - For it's time, Tiger was pretty awesome and brings a lot of nostalgia to me. I remember opening that iMac G5 in Christmas 2005 and being amazed at how sexy Mac OS X looked. I used Tiger for over 4 years as a main OS. 4. Windows 95 - Really the biggest change to Windows that has occurred up until the upcoming Windows 8. Was great for it's time, although finding and installing drivers was a HUGE pain in the ass, what can you expect from an OS that was released 17 years ago? 5. Windows 7 - I really liked Vista, but I could see a lot of shortcomings that annoyed people. Windows 7 was basically Microsoft's Snow Leopard. They took everything that made Vista great and improved upon it, and took everything that made Vista bad, and fixed it. Really I see nothing I don't like about Windows 7. I plan on using it for a long time to come. Noteable mention: Mac OS 9 - ****** OS for it's time, but OS 9 really marks the beginning of something great with the hardware it came on. Nostalgic memories. I remember in third grade when we got those iMac G3s with OS 9, I was amazed by it, although OS 9 wasn't anything really special. Believe it or not there are still a very small number of users that use OS 9 as their main OS and there is still modern software being written for it.

Tiger has been my favorite for OSX. It is what I believe the pinnacle of design, performance and OS size. After Tiger, OSX started getting bloated and resource hungry. I don't mind Snow Leopard, Lion is ok and I feel better about Mountain Lion. In fact I think ML is better the Lion, it should have been what Lion was imo.

1. Mac OS X Snow Leopard. This thing is impeccable and still is the best Mac OS X I've ever used (Lion just sucks.)
2. Mac OS X Leopard. A lot of great new features, and Time Machine is a lifesaver. 3. Ubuntu 10.04. I hate Unity, which has been default since 10.10. 4. Windows XP. Can't believe this OS is still mainstream after 10 years. 5. iOS 4. The most ambitious release that finally brought much-requested features like multitasking. 6. iOS 5. 7. NEXTSTEP 3.3. 8. Windows 95. |

OK, so I've been at it a few years.
OSX is great, but you've all omitted another great operating system - VAX/VMS! Much like OSX, and iOS, it was very intuitive. |

You top 5 favorite operating systems ever?
What are you top 5 operating systems? Not just Mac OSes, but any one.
Mine are; 1. Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (because it was the first OS I used on my first real Mac) 2. Windows XP (it is my favorite windows version to date) 3. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (this one got me into Macs, by hackintoshing my netbook, and what possessed me to buy my first real Mac, a G4) 4. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (I just love how stable it is, and how nice it looks) 5. Ubuntu 12 (very easy to use and the live CD always comes in handy!)

Aren't 10.4 and 10.6 different versions of the same OS?

Fedora 17
Fedora 16 Fedora 15 Fedora 14 Fedora 13 ... I think I'm doing it wrong.

Yes, but they differ, like Windows and Linux versions do too.
I still think that Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger was the most stable Mac OS X version to date on my iBook, PowerMacs and x86 iMac. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard comes close. Anyway, my preferred OS list:
It is only three, since those are the ones I spend the most time with, apart from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Windows XP and some time with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and some Linux versions. |

These are my favorites, in no particular order:
1.) Mac OS X 10.5 2.) Debian 'Squeeze' (At least in my setup with FVWM) 3.) **** Small Linux 4.) Arch Linux 5.) Mac OS X 10.1 (I love the Aqua UI)
