It was Magic.
On three occasions during the season, with the final horn ready to go off each time, Seattle University's Frank Oleynick let fly with a heroic shot that rippled through the net and decided everything. All of these game-winners came on the road. None had more degree of difficulty than the first one, a 28-footer that handed St. Mary's a stunning 72-70 defeat.
"It was the luckiest shot in the world -- but I'll take it," Oleynick said.
On Feb. 1, 1974, in Moraga, Calif., the sophomore guard nicknamed "Magic," emerged from a timeout with instructions to drive to the basket and dump the ball off to teammate Rod Derline. Oleynick was forced to adlib. He did this well.
"They double-teamed me and I just put it up," he said.
With Seattle U returning to full Division I championship eligibility for the first time in 33 years -- when the Redhawks host Washington in a women's soccer match at Championship Field on Aug. 17 -- this is the 25th in a series of 33 stories replaying memorable SU events previously held at the NCAA's top level (1952-80).
Oleynick's game-decider at St. Mary's capped his greatest performance with the Chieftains. The flashy Bridgeport, Conn., product finished with a career-best 45 points, dropping in 17 of 25 shots (there was no 3-point range) and 11 of 13 foul shots.
Two weeks later, he did his buzzer-beating wizardry again. In Malibu, Calif., Oleynick sank a high-arching corner jumper under heavy guard with no time on the clock, sending Pepperdine to a 72-71 overtime defeat and capping a 30-point night for himself.
A month and a half earlier, Oleynick and the Chieftains were playing Penn State in the Utah Classic in Salt Lake City when he drilled home a 19-footer with one second remaining for an electrifying 62-60 victory.
"It was in when it left my hand," said the often confident Oleynick, who finished with 18 points, which was a modest total for him.
That game-clincher capped a furious 22-5 rally for SU over the game's final nine minutes.
Oleynick played three seasons for the Chiefs, averaging 25.1 points per game as a sophomore while becoming the WCAC Most Valuable Player and a somewhat legendary figure. He upped his average to 27.3 as a junior. He practically lived in the gym, practicing alone after SU practices, and looking for games everywhere. He dribbled from class to class.
A future No. 1 draft pick for the Seattle Sonics, Oleynick fronted an interesting '73-74 SU lineup: He teamed with Derline, a guard who likewise joined the Sonics; forward Ron Howard, later a tight end for the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys; Reggie Green, a greatly undersized center, and point guard Ed "Bucky" O'Brien, the son of the similarly named Chieftains legend.
"It worked out great," Oleynick said of his SU career. "The only thing I regret is I was such a gym rat and so focused on basketball, I never really enjoyed the things the city had to offer."
People in Salt Lake City, Malibu and Moraga wish he had got out more, too.

KTRS News
Monday, 13 May 2013 11:11 Published in Health & FitnessLast week, the coronavirus related to SARS spread to France, where one patient who probably caught the disease in Dubai infected his hospital roommate. Officials are now trying to track down everyone who went on a tour group holiday to Dubai with the first patient as well as all contacts of the second patient. Since it was first spotted last year, the new coronavirus has infected 34 people, killing 18 of them. Nearly all had some connection to the Middle East.
The World Health Organization, however, says there is no reason to think the virus is restricted to the Middle East and has advised health officials worldwide to closely monitor any unusual respiratory cases.
At the same time, a new bird flu strain, H7N9, has been infecting people in China since at least March, causing 32 deaths out of 131 known cases.
WHO, which is closely monitoring the viruses, says both have the potential to cause a pandemic - a global epidemic - if they evolve into a form easily spread between people. Here's a crash course in what we know so far about them:
Q: How are humans getting infected by the new coronavirus?
A: Scientists don't exactly know. There is some suggestion the disease is jumping directly from animals like camels or goats to humans, but officials are also considering other sources, like a common environmental exposure. The new coronavirus is most closely related to a bat virus, but it's possible that bats are transmitting the disease via another source before humans catch it.
Q: Can the new coronavirus be spread from human to human?
A: In some circumstances, yes. There have been clusters of the disease in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Britain and now France, where the virus has spread from person-to-person. Most of those infected were in very close contact, such as people taking care of a sick family member or health workers treating patients. There is no evidence the virus is spreading easily between people and all cases of human-to-human transmission have been limited so far.
Q: How are people catching the bird flu H7N9?
A: Some studies suggest the new bird flu is jumping directly to people from poultry at live bird markets. Cases have slowed down since Chinese authorities began shutting down such markets. But it's unclear exactly what kind of exposure is needed for humans to catch the virus and very few animals have tested positive for it. Unlike the last bird flu strain to cause global concern, H5N1, the new strain doesn't appear to make birds sick and may be spreading silently in poultry populations.
Q: What precautions can people take against these new viruses?
A: WHO is not advising people to avoid traveling to the Middle East or China but is urging people to practice good personal hygiene like regular hand-washing. "Until we know how and where humans are contracting these two diseases, we cannot control them," said Gregory Hartl, WHO spokesman.
Q: Which virus should we be more worried about?
A: It's impossible to know. "We really don't want to play the game of predicting which virus will be more deadly than the other," Hartl said. At the moment, both are worrisome since so little is known about how they are infecting humans and both appear to cause severe disease. "Any virus that has the ability to develop the capacity to spread from human to human is of great concern to WHO," he said.

"I made a couple mistakes and paid the consequences," Garcia said after allowing two homers that accounted for five runs in an 8-2 loss to the Rockies on Sunday. "Those guys had been doing an unbelievable job and you want to be able to continue a good thing."
Jorge De La Rosa held the Cardinals hitless into the seventh inning and Troy Tulowitzki's three-run homer ended Colorado's scoreless streak at 28 innings.
De La Rosa did not give up a hit until David Freese's two-out single in the seventh, answering a pair of outstanding performances by St. Louis starters Shelby Miller and Adam Wainwright over the weekend.
"Jaime definitely had a couple of pretty tough acts to follow," manager Mike Matheny said. "We know this is a good-hitting team, we know they're capable of jumping on you and putting up a lot of runs in a hurry. It happened today."
Garcia (4-2) had won three straight starts with a 1.25 ERA and no homers allowed in that stretch of 21 2-3 innings before running into the Rockies. He gave up five runs over six innings and fell to 0-3 with a 10.53 ERA - his highest against any opponent - in four starts against Colorado.
The left-hander entered as the career ERA leader at 8-year-old Busch Stadium at 2.41 but was undone by a changeup that stayed up in the zone against Tulowitzki in the third and a hanging curveball against Charlie Blackmon, who struck out in his first two at-bats, that went for a two-run homer in the sixth.
The Rockies and Marlins are the only National League teams Garcia hasn't beaten.
"How many starts have I made against them? Today was my fourth one?" Garcia said. "Obviously, they have a really good lineup, but I don't think about those things."
Garcia gave up just two homers in his first seven starts and entered with a 2.25 ERA overall.
Jordan Pacheco doubled with one out in the first to stop a 34-inning drought since Colorado's last extra-base hit, according to STATS. The Rockies finished with five extra-base hits, including a two-run double by pinch-hitter Reid Brignac off Carlos Martinez in the eighth.
The Rockies snapped a four-game skid and finished with 11 hits after totaling three in consecutive shutout losses to Miller and Wainwright.
Nolan Arenado, who singled with one out in the eighth to break up Wainwright's no-hit bid Saturday, was among four Rockies with two hits apiece.
The Cardinals lost for just the second time in 11 games. Matt Adams' RBI single off Matt Belisle in a two-run ninth, one of three hits by pinch-hitters, ended Colorado's shutout bid.
De La Rosa (4-3) struck out seven and allowed two hits in seven innings, baffling the Cardinals until Freese singled sharply to right off the glove of a diving Pacheco at first base. Jon Jay followed with a double. De La Rosa finished his longest outing of the season, and his best showing on the road by far, by getting Pete Kozma on a lineout to first.
De La Rosa entered 1-3 with a 5.13 ERA on the road and 2-0 at home with 12 scoreless innings. This was the fourth time he worked six or more scoreless innings.
Tulowitzki's eighth homer stopped the Rockies' scoreless streak two innings shy of the team record. They went 30 innings without a run from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, 2010, according to STATS.
The Rockies entered the weekend with the top offense in the National League and still led with a .266 batting average going into the finale of the three-game series. Tulowitzki was 0 for 6 in the first two games with five strikeouts and Carlos Gonzalez had been hitless in 15 at-bats before finishing with two singles and a walk.
Blackmon batted eighth after being called up earlier in the day to replace Michael Cuddyer, placed on the 15-day disabled list with a neck injury. He got unexpected cheers after hitting his fourth career homer - he was introduced in his first at-bat as a player making his major league debut.
Colorado had five hits in the first three innings after totaling three and going 40 consecutive at-bats without a hit the previous two days. The Rockies have never been shut out three straight times.
The Cardinals' streak of retiring 40 straight batters is tied for the second-longest in the majors since 1974, two shy of the record set by the Seattle Mariners from Aug. 14-17 last year, with Felix Hernandez throwing a perfect game on Aug. 15. Rangers pitchers retired 40 in a row in 1996.
NOTES: Gonzalez had two singles and a walk and is 6 for 12 against Garcia. ... Cardinals pitchers had a 2.02 ERA over the previous 10 games. ... Cardinals C Yadier Molina was 0 for 3, ending an 11-game hitting streak. He had five hits in the first two games of the series.

Thursday, 09 May 2013 07:20 Published in National NewsThe 52-year-old former school bus driver accused of kidnapping and raping the women will make his first public appearance in court Thursday after emerging as the lone suspect.
While many questions remain about how Ariel Castro maintained such tight control over the women for so many years before one of them made a daring escape Monday, the horrors they suffered are beginning to come to light.
Police say the women were apparently bound by ropes and chains at times and were kept in different rooms. They suffered prolonged sexual and psychological abuse and had miscarriages, according to a city official briefed on the case.
Castro has been charged with four counts of kidnapping — covering the captives and the daughter born to one of them — and three counts of rape, against all three women.
The women and Castro have given lengthy statements to police that have helped build their case, said Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba.
None of the women, though, gave them any indication that Castro's two older brothers, who've been in custody since Monday, were involved, Tomba said. Prosecutors brought no charges against the brothers, citing a lack of evidence.
"Ariel kept everyone at a distance," Tomba said.
One thing that remains a mystery, he said, is how the women were kept in the house so long.
"As far as the circumstances inside the home and the control he may have had over those girls ... I think that's going to take us a long time to figure that out," he said.
The women, now in their 20s and 30s, vanished separately between 2002 and 2004. At the time, they were 14, 16 and 20 years old.
At a news conference, authorities would not discuss the circumstances of their kidnapping and captivity.
City Councilman Brian Cummins earlier said: "We know that the victims have confirmed miscarriages, but with who, how many and what conditions we don't know."
"It sounds pretty gruesome," he added.
They never saw a chance to escape over the last 10 years until this week when Amanda Berry broke through a door and ran to freedom, alerting police who rescued the other two women while Castro was away from the house.
In newly released police audio tapes, a 911 dispatcher notifies officers on Monday that she's just spoken to a woman who "says her name is Amanda Berry and that she had been kidnapped 10 years ago."
An officer on the recorded call says, "This might be for real."
After police arrive at the house, women can be heard crying in the background. Then an officer tells the dispatcher: "We found 'em. We found 'em."
Tomba said of Berry, "Something must have clicked and she saw an opportunity and she took that opportunity."
He said the women could remember being outside only twice during their entire time in captivity. "We were told they left the house and went into the garage in disguise," he said.
Also in the house was Berry's 6-year-old daughter. A paternity test on Castro was being done to establish whether he fathered the child.
While prosecutors announced charges against Castro, federal agents searched a vacant house near where the women had been held. Officials would only say their search was an attempt to get evidence in the case against Castro, but they refused to say what they found or what led them there.
Castro was in custody and couldn't be reached for comment. A brother-in-law has said the family was shocked after hearing about the women at the home.
Few people in Cleveland, outside the families of the women, thought there was any chance they were still alive.
Berry, 27, and Gina DeJesus, who is in her early 20s, were welcomed home Wednesday by jubilant crowds of loved ones and neighbors with balloons and banners. Family members hustled them inside, past hundreds of reporters and onlookers.
Neither woman spoke.
"This is the best Mother's Day I could ever have," said Nancy Ruiz, Gina's mother. She said she hugged her daughter and didn't want to let go.
Ruiz said she spent time with all three women after they were rescued. "There's no word to describe the beauty of just seeing them," she said.
DeJesus' father pumped his fist after arriving home with his daughter, and urged people across the country to watch over the children in their neighborhoods — including other people's kids.
"Too many kids these days come up missing, and we always ask this question: How come I didn't see what happened to that kid? Why? Because we chose not to," he said.
The third captive, Michelle Knight, 32, was reported in good condition at Metro Health Medical Center, which a day earlier had reported that all three victims had been released. There was no immediate explanation from the hospital.
The Associated Press does not usually identify people who may be victims of sexual assault, but the names of the women were widely circulated by their families, friends and law enforcement authorities for years during their disappearance.
Castro was accused of twice breaking the nose of his children's mother, knocking out a tooth, dislocating each shoulder and threatening to kill her and her daughters, according to a 2005 domestic-violence filing in Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court.
The filing for a protective order by Grimilda Figueroa also said that Castro frequently abducted her daughters and kept them from her. Figueroa died in April 2012 after a battle with cancer.
Figueroa's father, Ismail Figueroa, said Wednesday that Castro would regularly lock his daughter inside a second-floor apartment in the house where they lived when they were first together.
Later, when they moved a few blocks to the house Castro purchased — the house from which, years later, the women would escape — he kept a close eye on her and refused to let people come inside to visit her or even let her pick up their children from school, said Angel Villanueva, who is married to Grimilda Figueroa's sister.
Grimilda was "not allowed to go nowhere," said Villanueva. No matter where she wanted to go, "it had to be with him."

King Carlos I, Maybach Tester
King Carlos I of Spain became the latest proud owner of a Maybach. At the Laureus World Sports Award in Barcelona, Carlos I was handed the keys to a "Cote d'Azur" blue luxury Saloon by Dr Dieter Zetsche, the Chairman of the Board of Management of DaimlerChrysler AG.. The car has a light beige interior with brown burr walnut trim and special sterling silver ornaments on the shift lever and the covers of the front console and the ashtrays. King Juan Carlos I took his car for its first test drive in with Dr Zetsche at the Catalonian Grand Prix racetrack "Circuit de Catalunya." The king will be testing the automobile and letting Maybach know his opinion. Too bad Maybach doesn't hand out their test cars to commoners.

Welcome Guest. Please Login or Register.Dec 11, 2013, 4:59pm
Seles was tired, among other things. The cold had slowed her search considerably, but her pure determination refused to allow her to give up on her search for Ieri and the Queen she so desperately wanted to see. It had been over a year, but it felt like a century. She'd gone up Era and down it again and again. Now she was headed back down once more going through many of the places she had already been, hoping to find some sign of either of the two. Walking by her side was a rather interesting sky blue haired man whose hair was sparking a bit more than it should have. He wore a set of simple clothes and a few scant pieces of armor covering certain areas atop his clothes. Far from a human at all, this was Sir Duke, Seles's Ditto, whom, after a good few years of practicing, had managed to form himself into what appeared rather human. The only parts of his disguise that continued to give him problems was the 'hair' on this particular form's head, but even that could possibly have been passed off as just a rather interesting type of hair."Lady Seles... might you wish to take a break, my dear?" Duke asked looking worriedly towards his trainer as they both continued to walk through the jungle terrain. Seles looked sideways at her Ditto and shook her head which only earned a sigh from the Ditto. "I'm alright, Duke," Seles assured despite even the tone of her voice argued against this assertion. "But if you're tired, we can take a break..." she finished before stepping over a fallen log. Duke blinked before smiling and shaking his head a little. His dear mistress was so stubborn sometimes."Well, I am a bit tired... might we stop when we find a suitable place?" he asked looking back at Seles again. After a moment of hesitation, Seles nodded her head. Nodding back a bit, Duke looked forwards again only to blink as he saw something in the distance. Now what was-- a human? He wasn't actually sure just yet, but that was what it looked like to Duke. "I believe we might have company, m'lady," Duke stated before making a motion through the brush. Seles tensed, and for a brief moment, a flicker of hope came to her features. However, this was kicked down instantly. She wouldn't raise her hopes least it be simply a random person... or a thief, sigh.
The snow was no longer Seles's focus. Instead, she was staring where Duke had pointed out trying to dicern who the person was: probably not a direct friend but hopefully not an enemy she needed to fight with. The sound of the voice confirmed that it wasn't who she was looking for, yet it also revealed that whoever it was seemed timid. Well, at least it wasn't a thief. Standing upright, as if this could increase her somewhat short height, she cupped one hand and called back. "Who goes there?" was her strong question that returned the previous one. Duke stood completely still now as his dark black eyes that he had never really seed in changing focused on the forms in the distance. "M'lady, I believe it's a young woman along with her pokemon," he stated all but confirming Seles's thoughts already by the tone of the voice.
The name actually confused Seles for a moment. Such an estranged name yet it had some obscure familiarity, and she couldn't exactly think of why even. Maybe she had been someone she had met on passing or...a noble perhaps. Seles had seen names on paper before, and the more she thought about it, the more the female knight was sure that sounded right. That brought more of a surprise, really. What was a noble doing this far out in the jungle? She'd ask that in a bit, maybe. "Seles Arturia!" she called back standing taller still as she began to walk through the forested area towards Justice now. Meanwhile, Duke hesitated a moment but followed after his mistress shortly after. "And don't forget Sir Farthinewton van Bisoman," Duke called out using his more prestigious name as he did so. Seles looked back towards her Ditto who just smirked and waved a hand in return before turning again and starting forwards once more.
As Justice came into view and curtsied, Seles blinked and bowed her head slightly. Duke smiled gently and bowed rather deeply. "Greetings, m'lady," he stated before his trainer had a chance to speak, which only earned a bit of a sideways glance from Seles. Standing upwards again, Duke smiled lightly flashing white, human teeth in an easy smile. Seles, meanwhile, looked towards Justice. "Nor were we," she answered back eyeing over Justice carefully as well as viewing her pokemon. "What are you doing out in such brush, may I ask?" she stated raising her eyebrow lightly in question.
Being a pokemon all the same, the Ditto knew exactly what the Pikachu had said, and after a few moments, he laughed a little before leaning forwards as though addressing Justice's pokemon. "Now now, it's not nice to talk about others even if you think they can't understand what you are saying, dears," he hummed slightly before standing up fully again and putting his hands in his 'pockets' before looking towards his trainer again. Seles, meanwhile, found herself blinking at Justice's honest wording. It was rare to find one that seemed willing to give any full or honest answers, and because of this, she found herself almost a little stunned, among other things. However, after a few seconds, she nodded her head slowly. A castle? They were in the East, and Seles knew that there was only one in this entire directional area. Raising her eyebrow, she looked at Justice questionably. "Works?" she asked.
The shocked look was enough to bring a smirk to Duke's face, and he laughed for a brief moment before standing upright again. "I am Farthinewton van Bisoman, but my darling Seles calls me Duke more often than not, heh," he answered back as if this was what Poe had asked despite the fact that he knew very well he'd asked what instead of who. "But.... if you really must know..." he sighed slowly holding up one hand before discriminating it into a blue blob. "I am a Ditto, you see?" he asked lightly. Though he probably wouldn't have revealed his form on normal circumstances, Duke believed it would disarm the Pikachu a bit and make him less likely to attack. There was no reason to fight when one could simply sweep away suspicion and foster a bit more friendship. "Sorry for the deception, but I am far more comfortable in this form than I am in my regular Ditto form. Also it makes traveling easier, you see?" he laughed lightly and winked at Poe. Seles was taken a bit aback by Justice's words. She had thought the young woman was a noble, but..a knight? This girl was of a knight family? Seles had been sure she knew all of the knight families in Era, but ... the name Justice still didn't ring any bells as such. Was this young woman lying or was there some sort of other circumstance Seles wasn't aware of? She wasn't sure. "I see..." she answered back standing up a bit taller than before. "The Duke.... instead of more of a former royal knight... or maybe he was..." Seles murmured quietly to herself before shaking her head slightly and looking towards Justice again. "What did you say your family name was, again?" she asked.
Duke blinked at Poe's reaction but just hummed a little in response. Zarah and Justice's reactions were amusing as well. "It's fine," he smiled lightly before returning his hand to full fingers and the correct skin color again. "Suspicion only means you were worried about someone in the process." he answered back making a directional point at Justice. Seles took in the last name again, almost oblivious to Duke's words at the moment as she tried to think over a knight family with that last name. However, for all she was and for all she could remember, Seles couldn't figure out the connection. After a few moments, she slowly shook her head and looked back at Justice. "Did you come from a knight family?" she asked after a moment knowing it was probably too blunt, but this was getting to her a bit.
Duke just grinned a little at Poe, and as Zarah and the Pikachu introduced themselves, Duke nodded to each. "Nice to meet you both," he answered back lightly bowing slightly. "I must warn you I'm terrible with names, but I'll do my best to remember yours." He laughed lightly and shook his head ever so slightly. Seles, meanwhile, Seles was left even more confused than before as Justice spoke, and thus, she simply stod sweat dropping in her confusion. A noble, ok she got that, and he lost his power or rather title... she could get that....but... However, the last notion made a bit more sense. Ah, so he'd wanted to be a knight and maybe worked in the knights for a short time or something. Alright... "I see," she answered back nodding her head somewhat but keeping a somber expression. "I'm a knight as well," she admitted looking at Justice for any sign of reaction.
Duke smiled and nodded his head with ease before slowly looking over towards Justice. Blinking, he looked upwards and frowned quietly to himself. "It does seem that this tropical area seems to be experiencing some sort of weather disturbance unlike what it normally does," he sighed shaking his head. He could feel the cold but wasn't sure what to make of it. Meanwhile, Seles found herself half smiling at Justice and slowly nodded her head. However, when the snow started to pick up, she found the cold armor rubbing up against her clothes and threatening to mess with her insulation of sorts. "Duke, give me a forecast," Seles called. The Ditto seemed to blink before snapping to the realization he was being called upon. "The air currents are gravely upset... we might wish to seek shelter though I doubt this will last long," he answered back looking back at the pokemon first and then the two humans in question.
Seles, though probably still warmer than Justice considering her wind resistance of sorts, wouldn't admit how cold she was becoming, but her eyes did start to look around the area rather quickly trying to find some quick hide-hole or something. Just then, something caught her eye. Was that-... a house? Looking sideways at Justice before making a directional point through the dense folliage, Seles then began to start walking towards it. "This way, I think I see something," she mumbled before starting towards what was distinctly something more than just brush now..... though far from any modern house or even anything Victorian in nature. There was something feral about the appearance that fit oddly well with the surroundings. All too aware that they could possibly run into danger, Duke suddenly moved rather quickly and was gaining a few feet in front of his trainer least anything pop up then and there. His eyes darted from side to side trying to scope out the possible threats. However, for now at least, he saw none.

Best Slideshow Software : Online Products
The Best Slideshow Software doesn't necessarily have to be one that you download to your computer.
There are several excellent online photo slideshow programs that are available to anyone with an internet connection so you don't even need a computer even a smartphone will do.
So which is the Best Slideshow Software online and how is it different?
The benefits of using this type of photo slideshow software is that it removes the need for a fast powerful computer as all of the number crunching is performed at the hosts site online. All you need to do is upload your photos, pictures and add some text and the websites servers will edit and produce the photo slideshow for you.
Many photo sites will also allow you to add a slideshow song from their extensive library. When it's complete you will be sent a link to the finished slideshow or video so that you can download it. Many sites will even upload the slideshow to Youtube or Facebook for you if you provide some account details.
One of the most useful features of this type of slideshow software is the fact that it can be run from portable devices such as an iPhone or iPad with the appropriate app. Just take a few photos on your phone and a few minutes later you can be watching a beautiful photo slideshow to music.
Drawbacks to using Online Slideshow Software
There are some drawbacks to using these types of online services and that are their limitations. If they give it away for free there are obviously going to be some ulterior motives at work. After all, these businesses want to make some money.
The way that they do this is to limit what you can produce and how the final photo slideshow looks. For instance there is likely to be limitations on either image quality or length., maybe both. Unlike downloadable software, you have very little input into the production and animation side of the video as everything is created through predefined templates.
Normally you just upload your photos, add some text and re-arrange your selection before adding a soundtrack and finalizing. The website takes care of the rest and gives you the link to the finished slideshow. You cannot alter timing or image transitions.
Above is an example of the sort of photo slideshow that you can expect by using a free slideshow software online. If you would like to have a go yourself then try out the best slideshow software online for free.
Best Slideshow Software: Online Limitations
Some of the issues that you are likely to run across are;
- Short slideshow length (maybe only 30 seconds)
- Low Quality
- Standard Definition (SD) with a ration of 4:3 rather than widescreen
- Watermarking (Intrusive Logo shown throughout the slideshow)
- Credits shown at the end of the slideshow.
- If you want a physical DVD Photo slideshow then you may have to order it extra
Unfortunately the best slideshow software online is not really free. You will be encouraged to upgrade your account so as to remove these boundaries, either by a monthly membership or on a per video basis. If you can live with these limitations then great but if not, and you are going to be making a lot of photo DVD slideshows, then it may be better to invest your money in a single piece of slideshow software instead.
Whether you decide to use online or offline photo slideshow software will depends upon your needs at the time and whether you have the time and computing power to produce it yourself.
Some people will be content to use the free online slideshow maker and not worry about short clip length or watermarking. For others, who want the portablility and convenience of online slideshows and are willing to pay monthly fees this option can be ideal.
Professionals are more likely to want to purchase their own professional slideshow software so that they have total control over the design and production of the finished product.
To discover more about the different options when it comes to choosing the Best Slideshow Software for your needs read some of our other articles.

Safety consists of "attempts to minimize the risk of injury, illness, or property damage from the hazards to which one may be exposed" (Edlin et al. 1999, p. 522). Safety for one's home, one's community, and oneself is best achieved through a joint effort involving individuals, schools, law enforcement, and other private and public agencies.
Home safety can be improved by exterior lighting around doors and windows, secure locks that are consistently used, block watch programs, and informing neighbors of unusual individuals or events. Internal home safety is optimized by lighting on stairways, lack of clutter, and consistent maintenance of home and contents.
The National Crime Prevention Council has identified several strategies to improve community safety. Community mobilization is the process of bringing individuals together so that they can jointly guard property, report suspicious behavior to the police, combat criminality, and form a spirit of community. Examples of communitymobilization efforts include neighborhood watch groups, mobilizing senior citizens as volunteers, business watch groups, and early warning arson prevention. These efforts are a cost-effective way to combat crime and reduce fear.
Violence prevention at the local level recognizes the need to punish violent offenders, support victims, and teach nonviolence. Strategies can include teaching conflict management, public dialogue, and dispute resolution; combating teen dating violence; court-based programs for victims of domestic violence; mentoring; and parent education.
Communities should also make efforts to assure safe public places. Thriving communities need parks, downtown shopping areas, business districts, schools, and public-housing communities where residents can feel protected from the threat of crime and violence. There are several ways to create such places through joint efforts with government agencies, businesses, law enforcement, and citizens' groups. Poverty, discrimination, lack of education, and lack of employment opportunities are important risk factors for violence and must be addressed as part of any comprehensive solution to the epidemic of violence in urban communities. Strategies for reducing violence should reach children early in life, before violent beliefs and behavioral patterns can be adopted.
A new concern for parents and teachers is the concept of cybersafety. The Internet has many sites devoted to pornography, hate literature and excessive violence, and parents and teachers need to monitor the web sites that children visit. The best defense for children is for adults to educate them about issues that can cause them harm. Parents and teachers should carefully select an online service that offers control features to block out different types of sites, and children should be taught to not give out personal information, to never agree to meet anyone without their parent's consent, and to never send a photo of themselves over the Internet to someone they do not know.
The reduction of intentional (deliberate) and nonintentional (accidental) injuries is the concern of both individuals and communities. Such injuries include nonfatal head injuries, nonfatal spinal cord injuries, firearm-related injuries and deaths, motor vehicle-related injuries, poisonings, and deaths from suffocation. Prevention strategies for unintentional injuries include the use of safety belts, child restraints, motorcycle and bicycle helmets, graduated driver licensing, and functioning smoke alarms in residences.
Understanding the factors that cause injuries allows for development and implementation of effective prevention interventions to improve safety. Some interventions can reduce injuries from both unintentional and violence-related causes. For instance, efforts to promote proper storage of firearms in homes can help reduce the risk of unintentional shootings in the home. Higher taxes on alcoholic beverages are associated with lower death rates from motor vehicle crashes and lower rates for some categories of violent crime, including rape.
Women face special threats to their safety. Date rape (acquaintance rape) occurs when a date, boyfriend, or someone that a woman knows forces sexual relations. Women can help protect their safety while dating by openly discussing sexual expectations. Women also need to be very careful not to become intoxicated or be under the influence of any substance that will lessen their ability to make rational decisions while on a date.
Although recent tragedies and mass murders at schools have led to the conclusion that schools are becoming less safe, it is important to remember that 90 percent of the schools in the United States are free of violent crimes and serious safety issues (U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice, 1998). In recent years there has been a decrease in criminality and the number of children carrying weapons to school. Some of the reasons for this change are due in part to increases in school security measures, zero-tolerance policies, and the implementation of school violence prevention programs (U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice, 1998). Children are more likely to be the victim of a crime or seriously harmed in their own home or in the community than at school. Despite these facts, children are more fearful of school today than what has historically been reported.
To continue the decrease in school criminality and hopefully lessen the incidents of school shootings/mass murders, the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice (1998) recommend the following for schools to do the following:
- Provide strong administrative support for assessing and enhancing school safety.
- Redesign the school facility to eliminate dark, secluded, and unsupervised spaces.
- Devise a system for reporting and analyzing violent and noncriminal incidents.
- Design an effective discipline policy.
- Build a partnership with local law enforcement.
- Enlist school security professionals in designing and maintaining the school security system.
- Train school staff in all aspects of violence prevention.
- Provide all students access to school psychologists or counselors.
- Provide crisis response services.
- Implement school-wide education and training on avoiding and preventing violence.
- Use alternative school settings for educating violent and weapon-carrying students.
- Create a climate of tolerance (address racism and discrimination).
- Provide appropriate education services to all students.
- Reach out to communities and businesses to improve the safety of students.
- Actively involve students in making decisions about school policies and programs.
- Prepare an annual report on school crime and safety.
Some specific measures that a school can initiate quickly are the following: "hiring security personnel, installing security devices, conducting random inspections, and providing students/staff with identification cards" (U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice 1998, p.

BK Enterprises – ideas for a small shop
Posted by rjamiesonBK Enterprises is a local convenience store that provides phone and Oyster top ups as well as Newspapers, snacks and food and drink. The shop is owned and has been run by a lovely dude called Kenny for 20 years. He also sells Jamaican patties (which in his opinion are the best you can buy), has recently set up an internet area in the back and is in the process of obtaining an alcoholic beverages licence. Over the last few years he has found his store footfall dwindling due to the appearance of a Tesco, Lidl and Costcutter nearby as well as other newsagents opening up over the road.
Our challenge was to get more customers through the door.
We suggested a number of things.
The first thing we noticed was that Kenny was a lovely guy with a deep knowledge of the local area and that actually he is a really strong selling point. So why not look at changing the name to reflect that. Nobody says 'I'm nipping down to B K Enterprises for some milk'. They would however say that they're 'popping over to Kenny's'.
One of the things we pointed out was that when people move into an area the first shop they go to tends to become their local. So we suggested going to the local lettings agents and giving them a welcome pack with local information and a welcome voucher for new tenants to the area. This would be redeemable in the shop for something like bread, milk and tea, or a free paper etc.
We also told them to put an A-board outside the shop to advertise the patties as no-one know about them until they are already inside the shop.
We suggested that for the internet users he offers a cup of tea or coffee.
They sell stationary and used to get customers coming in from the post office over the road. We discovered that his traffic had begun to decrease when it closed down. We thought that he could apply for a Post Office franchise as there are none in the local vicinity and there is already a post box outside the shop. And because Kenny was one of the people who campaigned to keep the original one open, this could make a great local news story and get his shop in the local press for some free publicity.

Three airport workers have been charged with conspiring to smuggle narcotics into the U.S. through Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport on Delta Air Lines flight 364 which arrived at ATL on January 13 this year from Mexico City. Prosecutors say police investigators tracked the airline workers after heroin and methamphetamine were found in an unclaimed bag on a carousel.
The three suspects are 35-year-old Luis Marroquin, 41-year-old Carlos Springer and 27-year-old Kelvin Rondon. It wasn't known Thursday whether they have attorneys.
The Associated Press reports that the bag was the subject of several "frantic" text messages between the three alleged conspirators before they realized it was too late. Federal agents said they were tipped off by a large orange hand-written label on the bag, which led them to Springer, a Delta baggage worker supervisor. He had sent the text messages to Marroquin saying he could not locate the "ALA bag". "ALA" is a term used in the industry for a baggage handler.
Rondon was charged after he admitted to being recruited as a lookout by Marroquin and offered $500 to be sure the bag was on the flight. When the bag turned up missing, he texted Marroquin and left the airport.
If convicted, the three face up to life in prison and as much as $10 million in fines.

By Chris Bernucca
This NBA lockout is a 12-inch stupid sandwich.
The owners have been stupid in believing they could get back in one negotiation everything they have given away over the last 12 years. The players have been stupid in underestimating the backlash from a fickle fan base hit hard by a nationwide economic malaise.
And both sides have been extremely stupid in coming close enough to shake hands, then refusing to with the childish insistence of "You first!"
It is another in a long-running series of stupid NBA acts which we have chronicled here –the 12 dumbest decisions in the 12 years since the last lockout in 1999. Just call 'em the Dim-Witted Dozen.
No. 12. WHY STERN IS HATED IN ARIZONA: In the 2007 Western Conference finals, it was becoming evident that the Spurs could only hang with the Suns with rough stuff. Late in Game 4, Robert Horry hip-checked Steve Nash into the scorer's table, touching off a benches-clearing incident that led to the Game 5 suspensions of Suns starters Amar'e Stoudemire and Boris Diaw for coming off the bench to protect their star teammate. In defending his ruling, NBA VP Stu Jackson infamously said, "It's not a matter of fairness. It's a matter of correctness." Jackson conveniently overlooked San Antonio's Tim Duncan coming off his bench earlier in the same game. The shorthanded Suns lost the pivotal fifth game at home and the series. The Spurs went on to win the title.

Preview: How much is a top quarterback pick worth to the Seahawks?
By Kirsten Kendrick and Art Thiel
Baylor quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III announced this week he was skipping his senior year and entering the NFL draft. That got a lot of Seahawks fans wondering whether the team would make a play for him.
KPLU sports commentator Art Thiel said it would take a lot of maneuvering for the Seahawks to even be in place to draft Griffin. And Art wonders if it would be worth it, given what the team would have to give up to get him.
Art Thiel's weekly commentary is coming up tomorrow morning at 5:35 and 7:35 on 88.5 KPLU. Check back here for a blog of our conversation.

Pipsissewa Herb
Pipsissewa Herb (Chimaphila umbellata)
Latin Name: Chimaphila umbellataCommon Names: Pipsissewa Herb
Chimaphila umbellata, or Pipsissewa herb, is a subshrub that returns each year from its roots. A subshrub is a small shrub or perennial plant that has a woody base. The Pipsissewa herb grows only a foot tall, and has green evergreen leaves. The USDA reports that as a plant, it is resistant to fire and grows slowly from rhizomes. A rhizome is a horizontal stem growing underground that has the ability to grow shoots as well as roots; another example of a rhizome is an iris. The plant has pretty little umbrel-shaped pink or white flowers that emerge in late spring and droop from the top of the stem. Chimaphila umbellata has the ability to use soil fungi as food, as well as receive nutrition through photosynthesis.

1st and good review as always! I was reading the leaked benchmarks of crysis and i guess they were right. Thumbs up to AMD for making this card at $150. Great value and sucker punches 550ti. We'll see how nVidia punches back with the new 460 SLi on a stick solution comes about. edit: are you going to have a crossfire review up? i am really eager to see it
I'm impressed. The performance drop from HD6850 is not as huge as I was expecting. Well priced. But I still think a 1GHz HD5770 renamed as HD6770 would have made more sense at around 130-140$
the HD6700m series are used more for laptops. It will featured HD3D for laptops to be able to play in 3D. A much needed answered because nvidia is dominating the laptop gaming segment with their 3D Vision. Learn more on HD6700mobile Performance on 6900m is here (hint: it's a beast) back on topic. . .
Beating up on the GTX 550 Ti feels like picking on the kid who ate worms back in kindergarten. I'm a little surprised it clocked so consistently below the 5830 though, I would have expected that they would have at least wanted to tie it.
Umm how did the 'm' come into discussion? I was saying since AMD have already rebranded HD5700 DESKTOP series into HD6770 and are selling only to OEMs, why not a HD6790 based off the Juniper core, which on OCing works pretty well. Plus, they could have put an even lower price tag since the core is smaller(and 128-bit memory)
the whole 6950, 6870, etc was to distance their new cards so that people wouldn't see it as the same card just newer. It all has to do with marketing , but yes i agree it is confusing
so what is this card then.? a 4870 and 5770 or a 4890 - 5830 .? well the way i see it i would call it 6830, it makes sense right.?
So what is the final ROP count on this card? I found another review that says 32 ROPs. Next thing you know this card could unlock to HD6870 EDIT: Also a $125 MSRP is mentioned.
Well if anyone wants to get a GTX 460 they better be quick. For nVidia will make them sorry for not doing so. EL Cheapo to make GTX 550 is taking over.
I am not impressed with this card, the cheapest 5770 you can find right now is $100, making this card extremely overpriced seeing that its less than 20% faster. The cheapest 5850 out there is $170 and it comes with Shogun 2, which is easily worth $20. Perhaps the pricing will drop down to $135 in the near future, which will make it extremely competitive against the 5770.
it will go down in price quickly - thats all I can see happening as atm its not viable to pay for such a card when hd6850 is near enough the same price
great review as always! good to see the battle heating up at the sub $200 price point can't wait for the GTX560 non Ti to join the race, and boy those 768mb 460's still look like a steal!

For Thailand's Queen Sirikit, the 2007 attack on a minibus in southern Thailand's Yala province -- in which suspected Muslim militants shot eight Buddhists through the head in broad daylight -- was simply further proof of what she'd been saying for more than three years.
"We have to help people there to survive. If they need to be trained, train them. If they need to be armed, arm them," she was quoted as saying by one of her military staff, according to media reports.
Meanwhile, Thailand was convulsed by demonstrations condemning the attack.
Her response was to boost her support for the Or Ror Bor or Village Protection Force, the militia the Royal Aide-de-Camp department, under Queen Sirikit's direction, established in 2004.
Unlike other militia in the strife-torn region, whose make up reflects the local demographic, the Or Ror Bor is exclusively Buddhist, is often stationed near temple compounds and is tasked with protecting Buddhist communities.
While Buddhism is associated in the Western mind with pacifism, Buddhist nations such as Thailand, Myanmar and Sri Lanka have been engaged in vicious conflicts.
In Thailand, state security is now locked in an increasingly bloody civil war with the Muslim minority near its border with Malaysia, in Myanmar civil strife looms between Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine State and Sri Lanka has just concluded a protracted civil war with its Tamil minority.
Cycle of birth and death
Buddhism, with its emphasis on karma and samsara -- the idea that the cycle of birth and death is driven by the actions of an individual -- is traditionally deeply averse to killing, believing it creates negative karma that will be revisited on a person in their own lifetime or in subsequent reincarnations.
So how do the largely Buddhist state security in these countries square their beliefs with the need to fight?
Michael Jerryson, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Florida's Eckerd College and co-editor of the book Buddhist Warfare, says that warfare is part of the human condition irrespective of religion.
"The first thing to remember is that people have a penchant for violence, it just so happens that every religion has people in it," Jerryson told CNN.
History of conflicts
He said that while Buddhism has a 1,600-year well-documented history of monastic-led rebellions and conflicts, the association of Buddhism in the Western mind is with pacifism.
"Buddhism certainly has a lot within its precepts about pacifism. In fact, almost every global religion does," he said.
However, Buddhism differs in that the act of killing is less the focus than the "intention" behind the killing, he said.
"When there are Buddhist monks traveling with soldiers in Sri Lanka and chanting with them and blessing them, their perspective is that they are not trying to support the violence but ... it's better to have soldiers with a cool, calm, clear head, with good intentions, than those that are hot headed," Jerryson said.
He said Tibet's Dalai Lama spoke of the same focus on "intention" when asked about the recent spate of self-immolations in Tibet.
"He pointed out that these people are not on drugs, they don't seem insane but they're doing it for a cause - the intention seems to be clear," he said. "This is often used to rationalize violence within Buddhist circles but as we're seeing now with Myanmar and Thailand, cool heads are not prevailing now."
He said Buddhist states often mesh nationalism with Buddhism, justifying war on the grounds that a fracture in the nation state is a tear in the sacred fabric of a land which represents the well-spring of their belief.
"Sri Lanka often speaks about 'the little teardrop island' as the last true vestige of true Buddhism. So when the LTTE, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, tried to separate a portion of that 'teardrop island' it was analogous to attacking the mother," Jerryson said.
Political rhetoric
As with most countries that use violence to solve disputes, Jerryson says the political rhetoric will begin to assume that the means justifies the ends.
"The rhetoric of violence as a defense, and this is not unique to Buddhism, is the idea of violence for the sake of peace," he said. "That although this is an infraction, although we are gaining negative karma, it's for the greater good -- prima facie anyway."
