How To Improve Efficiency: Upgrade Mountain Lion and iOS6
8:06 AM EST Tue. Oct. 16, 2012CEO of Tekserve Kevin Hart details how your Mac customers can benefit by upgrading their Apple operating systems. The improvements made to iCloud, he says, are nothing short of "amazing."—Jennifer Bosavage, editor
With the recent upgrade to Apple's Mountain Lion and iOS6, the technology stars have aligned perfectly. In fact, if those stars were a constellation, we'd have a smiley face up in the heavens when your customers see all the cool things in the recent upgrades to Mountain Lion and iOS6. The new features, outside of streamlining workflow, are also a call to action for you, as the solution provider, to show your customers how they can use the additions to be more productive by upgrading.
[Related: How To Manage Apple Devices]
Some recent changes will likely cause positive improvements to your customers' life both at work and at home. To start with the most obvious—the complete and common set of features, apps and experiences available across devices is an immediate plus for business users.
A Mac, iPad and iPhone can now use iCloud in a seamless fashion. The hassle of losing focus on time-sensitive documents as you switch locations and devices is gone. You'll even be able to remember what websites you were reading thanks to iCloud tabs for Safari. It's been a common problem for mobile device users that they would start reading an article on one device, say a laptop, leave the article to perform other tasks, and then have to go searching for it on another device, like their tablet. Thankfully, this is no longer an issue.
iCloud also now includes documents, and upon hearing this your customers will likely release a collective sigh of "Finally!" To work on a document on a MacBook and then run out to a meeting with an iPad, knowing the latest version of the document is intact and available for additional updates, is amazing. Add AirPlay Mirroring to the mix and think of the productivity gains and positive impressions you can make on your clients by showing them how such features can streamline their days.
Reminders and notifications will also be helpful. As a commuter, the idea of having a single To Do list that appears on every device is going to be an incredible productivity tool, especially as it moves to the Mac. Since ideas and tasks pop up in every meeting or free-thinking moment of the day, it will no longer be a problem to recall them because as they are dictated to Siri, the notes will be collected and easily found on any of users' devices. iCloud will handle these Siri notes and populate the reminders to all devices, including location-based reminders.
In addition to reminders, users now have access to customizable notifications to keep reminders, messages and app updates in one spot for attention and action. Items will pop up in the upper right corner of your screen for a few seconds or until dismissed, and are then corralled to a single location. These consolidated notifications are the perfect way to get on track to start or end each day, and to make important tasks impossible to forget.
Mail has been upgraded too, and allows the identification of VIPs such as bosses, important contacts and customers, then views their messages in a special inbox. Users can also set up special notifications. We have already seen that this is a great feature for end-of-month sales negotiations.
The e-mail dictation feature is a true time saver. For those who have never excelled at typing quickly or just need to send emails on the go, this capability is great for finding names and drafting short emails. Double check the results because you never want the wrong message or wrong person to get an email, but the feature does make these fast notes easier to draft and send.
Yes, there are still a few quirks, but no deal breakers. Bravo to Apple for finally getting all their products together as one set of tools for use at home, work or play; truly a smart move by the folks in Cupertino. Apple's history has proven it just keeps getting better, and your customers are bound to appreciate the efficiency that the new updates add to each day.

Transient Heat Conduction - Lumped & Computational Analysis from the course Heat Transfer
This course covers transport processes of mass, momentum, and energy from a macroscopic view with emphasis both on understanding why matter behaves as it does and on developing practical problem solving skills. The course is divided into four parts: introduction, conduction, convection, and radiation.
Predator-prey relationship: Lynx
Lynxes have a dynamic predator-prey relationship with the hare, or rabbits. This relationship is cyclic. The hare population size increases every ten years or so because there is an abundance of vegetation. Shortly after, the lynx population increases because there are more hares to eat. Once the hares have eaten all the available vegetation, their population crashes because there is nothing to eat. The lynx population crashes shortly after that because there aren't enough hares around to eat.
Open Source from the course History of Information
This course explores the history of information and associated technologies, uncovering why we think of ours as 'the information age.' We will select moments in the evolution of production, recording, and storage from the earliest writing systems to the world of Short Message Service (SMS) and blogs. In every instance, we'll be concerned with both what and when and how and why, and we will keep returning to the question of technological determinism: how do technological developments affect socie

Yipee! My latest book, Mirasol Book 28 is now back from the printers and with my US and Canadian distributors. I've not seen it yet myself, even though I have looked over the patterns and proofs 101 million times, it's always exciting seeing it in 'real-life'
The Asikita yarn is beautiful to knit with. It is different from other Spring Summer yarns in Mirasol, as it is a chainette (like Ushya). This seems to mean, for me anyway, that it holds the stitch patterns perfectly.
We went to Spain to photograph the book, as you can't really get a summer feel in the UK in the snow! It was a very quick trip, we went out one day, stayed over and flew back the next day. I have a brilliant photographer, make up artist and model, so we can work together really well and really quickly which is what is needed sometimes!
I love what I do, it is so exciting producing simple, easy to knit garments. When I design I always think of the knitter's enjoyment. I like the knitting to be fun. I like the knitting to be simple. This isn't always simple to design, but it is exciting to finally get the right design for the yarn. I feel it is important to match a yarn with a stitch pattern.
I hope you enjoy looking at the Asikita designs!

If you own a Wii, then you MUST have this game!Pros: Fantastic game from the ground up. Cons: Character tripping can get annoying at times, but can sometimes level the playing field. Other Thoughts: Overall, I would consider this to be one of, if not THE, best game on the Wii. Friends or not, you can get hundreds of hours of fun out of this game. This game did what most sequels fail to do: Take everything from the predecessors and enhance it and improve it, while still adding new things, to make it feel like a whole new experience, and an old familiar one at the same time. With so many features, fantastic gameplay, and extremely minor problems, I have to honestly say that, in my opinion, this is one of the greatest games ever made, and is a must-have for anyone that owns a Wii. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Button Masher GamePros: none Cons: I watched my friends little brother play this and all I can say is lol. Half the time your jumping around button mashing the same moves over and over even though they miss your target; reminds me of random mario kart races where you have little control over the outcome. I've never heard of some of the playable characters they have. This game also seems to lack a combo system; which all good fighter games have. This is not a must have product for Wii as it will only appeal to a certain gender(usually young boys). Other Thoughts: I do not own this game but I do have a Wii and I will never buy this product. I cant stand to even look at this game after 10 minutes. 0 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: great game! smash is a classic. a must own for the wii Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Melee x2!Pros: This is probably my favorite mutliplayer games of all time. Takes all the greatness of melee and adds more. Cons: None that i know of Other Thoughts: I heard that online play was bad, but never tried it myself. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Great multiplayer gameplay, new characters, excellent graphics, custom maps, and classic Gamecube maps Cons: Loading times, Subspace Emissary single-player can get tedious and repetitive, online play (see below) Other Thoughts: The online mode did not work at all. It didn't even give me a warning; it just had me wait indefinitely for other players who never appeared. I've found that other people have had this problem too; it apparently has a problem with some routers (and mine would likely be among that number as it only cost $2). Still, the problem I know the problem is software, not hardware, because Mario Kart Wii works fine online. Did you find this review helpful? |
This game is amazingPros: This is such a great game! I can never stop playing it once I start. One time, me and my cousin played through an entire subspace emissary in one go! It's just so much fun. Cons: As mentioned before, the Wii controls are pretty bad. I play it with a G-cube controller always. Other Thoughts: While I don't own this game at my own house, my cousin has it and we play it together all the time. I'm thinking of buying it for myself sometime, whether it's off Newegg of at the video game store in my town. This game always deserves a new 5-star review! Did you find this review helpful? |

great gamePros: controls are smother then ssbm, the new character are pritty cool, and the achivment bored is sweet too Cons: the wii remote game play sucks Other Thoughts: if you have a wii but and dont have any gamecube remotes then you better go by some 1 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Excellent Game!Pros: If you played any other super smash bros then you know what your in for. This has everything you love from the previous smash bros and more, including better graphics, more character selection, more levels, more items and special moves! Cons: No records of wins/loses when playing online with friends?? Other Thoughts: My eyes hurt ahahaha 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
InterestingPros: The same great game-play, and a fun story mode. Cons: Doesn't come close to using the wii remote to its fullest. This is the main reason for my poor rating of this game. The way that the game-play is I would have liked it for the game-cube, but because its for the wii, I am very disappointed. Other Thoughts: I would have liked the ability to change the controller settings to make for swinging the remote instead of taping the 'A' button. 0 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

…I've begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle. It's become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something - something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true.
I've also been reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible. There continue to be far too many incidences of bullying of young people, as well as discrimination and violence against people of all ages, based on their sexual orientation, and I believe there is value in making clear where I stand.
The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.
I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues. In a perfect world, I don't think it's anyone else's business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted. I'm not an activist, but I am a human being and I don't give that up by being a journalist. - Anderson Cooper

Despite a setback that saw all of the dialogue I previously reported we had finished due to a mysterious erasing from the computer, we have pushed forth and are very close to being finished with this project. We had to re-record much of the dialogue and spent a few days outside of class doing foley and miscellaneous things, different members of our group worked on different parts of the music, and we are finally down to just mixing and mastering. We will finish the project this evening and share it tomorrow. It has been a great pleasure working with such awesome guys and getting so much time and experience in the studio facilities at Evergreen. I look forward to many more in the future.

Recreating Ron Burgundy
This week we started production on our final project for Sound Design For Film. It is a group project in which we are supposed to recreate the entire sound design for a scene from a feature film, including the voiceovers, foley, sound effects, and score. We have chosen to work on the fight scene from the 2004 comedy "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy." A few members of our group, Jamie and David, started early on sound effects last Sunday, but I could not make it due to a prior obligation. Today, we covered a lot of the dialogue in the Studio Lab. I worked at the mixing board for a while and did the voice for Frank Vitchard, originally played by Luke Wilson. I will have pictures up soon.
Pictures Recovered
Although the screen on my phone had decided to die suddenly, upon updating my new phone to my gmail account, I found that the pictures I thought I had lost from the soundscapes project were still intact. Hooray for technology and smart phones! You can find those pictures and others from post production on the Production Gallery page.
Soundscape Project : House Show Collage
We finished our first projects and listened to the majority of them in class today. While most of the students created soundscapes involving walking, driving, or cooking, mine was somewhat of a black sheep, because whereas they inserted dialogue at an absolute minimum, mine was created around it. I recorded the busy environment of a house show in Olympia, weaving in and out of various conversations, kitchen happenings, and band setups. Th project then transitions into music played by one of the artists who performed that evening, Eleanor Murray. Finally, I recorded some final sound effects off location to add extra dimensions throughout. I really enjoyed doing this project. The finished version is on the Media page.
Sound Design For Film
The initial purpose of this blog is to catalog my progress and provide access to completed works in my artistic and academic pursuits. Currently, it will be focused on the projects done in Sound Design For Film, being taken at the Evergreen College during second Summer session 2011.

Why next-gen consoles won't run games at 4K
Back in March, Microsoft's CVP of Marketing and Strategy Yusuf Mehdi told Forbes that the Xbox One would support 4K gaming, saying that there was "no hardware restriction there at all".
However, some testing from AnandTech suggests that while that statement might be technically accurate, whether it's playable or not might be a different matter.
At Computex, AnnadTech's Ian Cutress got his hands on a 4K monitor and decided to run some gaming benchmarks and see what happened.

25. Winter is the Best Time to Curl Up With a Good Book
It's the Best Time to Curl Up With a Good Book
Tim Clark has been reviewing books for Yankee for three decades. Here are his favorite New England titles published in the past 25 years.
1. Those Who Fall by John Muirhead. This lyrical memoir of World War II bomber aviation was the first published work by a draftsman and shipyard supervisor from Massachusetts: "It never seemed to us that flak came from anything on the ground. Not from guns that men fired. Flak came from the sky itself; it blossomed there." Bantam, 1988
2. Seasons at Eagle Pond by Donald Hall. A former U.S. poet laureate, Hall is also a superb essayist whose frank voice acknowledges the challenges of the New England climate: "There is no reason to live here except for love." Ticknor & Fields, 1987
3. Open Season by Archer Mayor. When Brattleboro, Vermont, police detective Joe Gunther first appeared in 1988, I wrote, "His chief virtues are his doggedness and his awareness that simple answers are often wrong. I'm hoping we see a lot more of him." Mayor recently published his 22nd Joe Gunther mystery. The Mysterious Press, 1988
4. Live Free or Die by Ernest Hebert. My favorite in a series of ornery novels of New Hampshire. The plot is secondary to the voice of the author, a voice that rises and falls with the rhythms of native speech and mocks its own literary pretensions. Hardscrabble Books/University Press of New England, 1995
5. Paul Revere's Ride by David Hackett Fischer. His goal was to "put Paul Revere back on his horse again, to take the midnight ride seriously as a historical event, [and] to suspend fashionable attitudes of disbelief toward an authentic American hero." Mission accomplished. Oxford University Press, 1995
6. The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger. This aching account of the loss of a Gloucester fishing boat and its crew draws power from sensory details: "A scream means the wind is around Force 9 on the Beaufort Scale, 40 or 50 knots. Force 10 is a shriek. Force 11 is a moan. Over Force 11 is something fishermen don't want to hear." W. W. Norton, 1997
7. Reading the Forested Landscape: A Natural History of New England by Tom Wessels. Wessels explains mysteries like why some stone walls use big rocks and some use small ones. Your walks in the woods will never be the same. Countryman Press, 1997

Special to The News
PRATT -- The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) has released its 2012 Kansas Upland Bird Forecast, and because of continued drought, the state will likely experience a below-average upland bird season this fall. Kansas upland bird hunters experienced a down season in 2011, and this summer's heat and drought in parts of the state have not improved upland bird prospects for 2012. For those willing to hunt hard, there will still be pockets of fair bird numbers, especially in the northern Flint Hills and northcentral and northwestern parts of the state.Although last winter was mild, winter precipitation is important for spring vegetation, which is critical to reproductive success, and most of Kansas did not get enough winter precipitation. Pheasant breeding populations showed significant reductions in 2012, especially in primary pheasant range in western Kansas. Spring came early and hot this year but also included fair spring moisture until early May, when the precipitation stopped. Then the state experienced record heat and drought through the rest of the reproductive season.
Early nesting conditions were generally good for prairie chickens and pheasants. However, the primary nesting habitat for pheasants in western Kansas is winter wheat, and in 2012, Kansas had one of the earliest wheat harvests on record. Wheat harvest can destroy nests and very young broods. The early harvest likely lowered pheasant nest- and early-brood success. The intense heat and lack of rain in June and July resulted in decreased brood cover and insect populations, causing lower chick survival for all upland game birds.
Because of drought, all counties in Kansas were opened to Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) emergency haying or grazing. Many CRP fields, including Walk In Hunting Areas (WIHA), may be affected. Kansas has more than one million acres of WIHA (atlases available online at ksoutdoors.com or at any license vendor). Often, older stands of CRP grass need disturbance, and haying and grazing can improve habitat for the next breeding season and ultimately be beneficial if weather is favorable.
The regular opening date for the pheasant and quail seasons is Saturday for the entire state. This weekend is the special youth pheasant and quail season. Youth participating in the special season must be 16 years old or younger and accompanied by a non-hunting adult who is 18 or older. All public wildlife areas and WIHA tracts will be open for public access during the special youth season.
Pheasant breeding populations dropped by nearly 50 percent or more across pheasant range from 2011 to 2012, resulting in fewer adult hens in the population to start the 2012 nesting season. Drought has resulted in less cover and insects needed for good pheasant reproduction. Additionally, winter wheat serves as major nesting habitat for pheasants in western Kansas, and a record early wheat harvest this summer likely destroyed some nests and young broods. Then the hot, dry weather set in from May to August, the primary brood-rearing period for pheasants. Insufficient precipitation and lack of habitat and insects throughout the state's primary pheasant range resulted in limited production. This will reduce hunting prospects compared to recent years. However, some good opportunities to harvest roosters in the Sunflower State remain, especially for those willing to work for their birds. Though the drought has taken its toll, Kansas still contains a pheasant population that will produce a harvest in the top three or four major pheasant states this year.
The best areas this year will likely be pockets of northwest and northcentral Kansas. Populations in southwest Kansas were hit hardest by the 2011-2012 drought (72 percent decline in breeding population), and a very limited amount of production occurred this season due to continued drought and limited breeding populations.
The bobwhite breeding population in 2012 was generally stable or improved compared to 2011. Areas in the northern Flint Hills and parts of northeast Kansas experienced improved production this year. Much of eastern Kansas has seen consistent declines in quail populations in recent decades. After many years of depressed populations, this year's rebound in quail reproduction in eastern Kansas is welcome, but overall populations are still below historic averages. The best quail hunting will be found throughout the northern Flint Hills and parts of central Kansas. Prolonged drought likely impaired production in central and western Kansas.
Prairie Chicken
Kansas is home to greater and lesser prairie chickens. Both species require a landscape of predominately native grass. Lesser prairie chickens are found in westcentral and southwestern Kansas in native prairie and nearby stands of native grass in CRP. Greater prairie chickens are found primarily in the tallgrass and mixed-grass prairies in the eastern one-third and northern one-half of the state.
The spring prairie chicken lek survey indicated that most populations remained stable or declined from last year. Declines were likely due to extreme drought throughout 2011. Areas of northcentral and northwest Kansas fared the best, while areas in southcentral and southwest Kansas experienced the sharpest declines where drought was most severe. Many areas in the Flint Hills were not burned this spring due to drought. This resulted in far more residual grass cover for much improved nesting conditions compared to recent years. There have been some reports of prairie chicken broods in these areas, and hunting will likely be somewhat improved compared to recent years.
Because of recent increases in prairie chicken (both species) populations in northwest Kansas, regulations have been revised this year. The early prairie chicken season (Sept. 15-Oct. 15) and two-bird bag limit was extended into northwest Kansas. The northwest unit boundary has also been revised to include areas north of U.S. Highway 96 and west of U.S. Highway 281. Additionally, all prairie chicken hunters are now required to purchase a $2.50 prairie chicken permit. This permit will allow KDWPT to better track hunters and harvest, which will improve habitat management practices. Both species of prairie chicken are of conservation concern, and the lesser prairie chicken is a candidate species for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act.

Will tablet PC ease digital divide?Recently, Apple unveiled a digital textbook, iBooks 2. The technology company announced that it had reached made an agreement with several major textbook publishers in the U.S including DK Publishing and McGraw Hill to sell their digital textbooks for only 15 percent of the original old-school hardcopy version. This raises the question of whether tablet PCs will be able to bridge the digital divide, which is the gap between those who have effective access to digital technology and those who do not. The digital divide is a worldwide problem caused by the widening economic gap caused by globalization. It results in huge socio-economic differences in the information society where accessibility is one of the important necessities to be successful. In November 2005, the "$100 laptop" project was suggested as a solution to the digital divide at a world summit on information society held in Tunis but the problem still remains unsolved. Some people including those who work for the technology company claim that the handheld PC is the breakthrough which can completely bridge the digital divide with its state-of-the-art technology. They say that the Tablet PC with its digital textbooks function will give everyone an equal chance at education. However, I believe that there are too many limitations. Firstly, it is unrealistic for everyone in the world to have effective accessibility to Tablet PCs. On the domestic level, the lower-income groups cannot afford the machine and prerequisites such as electricity and Internet access. Some people still live from hand-to-mouth and do not have the economic capability to have Wi-Fi which many of us take for granted. Problems arise on the international level too. The social infrastructure of some countries does not allow the use of digital devices. For example, even if an individual can afford an iPad, the machine itself is no use in Africa where there is no electricity and Internet connections. Secondly, it is unfeasible to equip millions of people with the handheld PC as it will take much time, energy and money to teach them to use it. The Tablet PC offers numerous interactive features such as search engines, videos, study cards, and text highlighting. The digital divide cannot be bridged even with everyone having the machine if some people cannot use its features properly. The application of handheld PCs in public education especially seems unrealistic because many old teachers will have trouble using digital textbooks in classrooms. In many developed countries, a new digital divide is happening. While statistics say that most of the people in these countries have Internet access, only the urban rich have truly high-speed connections. As education, jobs, entertainment, shopping and even health care move online, those with restricted and slow wireless access are at risk of being left behind. This shows that the problem of the digital divide is unlikely to be solved completely and will remain in a changed form. It is an undeniable truth that Tablet PCs have increased the accessibility to information and communication technology. It is possible that the digital device will reduce the widening gap of the digital divide. However, as I mentioned before, it is unrealistic to believe that the handheld PC will completely get rid of it. The digital divide will remain as a serious problem causing a vicious cycle with widening economic gaps. As the digital divide is a worldwide phenomenon, both international and national efforts to analyze the cause and to find a solution are required rather than blindly hoping that Tablet PCs will solve everything someday.

Scott Attrill - Twister does not have pro drums! Very disappointing considering the last one has had them and they came out a LONG time ago! That being said, the whole what's toms and not is debatable in a techno track, but there are a few instances where the drummer is hitting toms in the animation and toms would have made more sense. They are few and far between, though.

Athletic Director
Chad McDowell
Email: email@example.com
Chad McDowell enters his second year as the LSU Shreveport Athletic Director. McDowell has served at the helm of the Men's Basketball Program since its resurrection in 2003 and has been Assistant Athletic Director since 2008. He was recommended for the top spot by recently retired Athletic Director Doug Robinson and unanimously approved by the LSUS Athletic Council.
McDowell was called upon by Robinson in 2003 to resurrect a men's basketball program that had been disbanded in 1997. McDowell was coaching at Southwood High School when he received the news LSUS would be bringing back their men's and women's basketball teams. McDowell accepted the Head Coaching position for LSUS and then finished the year as Southwood's coach leading the Cowboys to a 37 - 3 record. "I hired Coach McDowell when I was at Southwood and you see what his teams did there," Robinson commented. "When I was asked to look for a men's basketball coach to start our program, I went and got Coach McDowell again. He is a leader and I knew what kind of job he would do. He will be a great Athletic Director as well."
McDowell has held up his end of the bargain with Robinson at Southwood and LSU Shreveport. He had tremendous amounts of success at Southwood and has had even more during his time leading the Pilots of LSU Shreveport. McDowell began his college coaching career leading the Pilots to a 21 - 12 finish in their first year of reinstating the program. That would be the fewest wins any of McDowell's teams at LSUS would record. Since that time, the Pilots have averaged over 27 wins per season. McDowell has led the Pilots to an unprecedented seven conference tournament championships and four regular season championships. During McDowell's tenure, the Pilots have been a mainstay in NAIA's Top 25 and have qualified for the NAIA National Tournament eight consecutive seasons.
His leadership for the student-athletes under his watch extends well beyond the lines of a basketball court. McDowell has instilled a sense of family and togetherness and says it has been his goal from day one to teach his players more about life off the basketball floor rather than on it. "What we have achieved in regards to wins and losses, rankings, and championship banners over these past nine years is a sense of accomplishment for us all," commented McDowell. "However, none of those things come close to measuring up in value to the relationships that have been built and life lessons learned. It's truly about so much more than the numbers on both sides of a dash (referring to a win-loss record)."
Though not the main thing in McDowell's mind, it remains a fact that the Pilots are Louisiana's most winning college basketball program since its reinstatement in 2003. During McDowell's tenure, the Pilots have posted an overall record of 239 - 66 (79%) and were an amazing 120 - 13 (90%) in games played in their home gym known as The Dock. McDowell and many of his players have garnered individual awards over the past nine years due to their success on the floor.
Both McDowell and his players have been recognized for their performance outside the lines as well and it's these awards that are valued the most. "The awards our players have received for their individual performance on the floor or an award I received because of our team's success are all good and appreciated," stated McDowell. "However, the awards that really make your heart smile are the ones that recognize your actions off the floor." McDowell's Pilots have had four players (Josh Porter, Greg Tyer, Jared Stevenson, Jake Greene) selected as National Champions of Character Award Winners and the 2005 - 2006 team was honored as winners of the inaugural NAIA Champions of Character Team Award. McDowell was recently recognized himself with the NAIA National Coach of Character Award.
McDowell now sets his eyes on leading LSUS' Athletic Department with the same enthusiasm and drive he displayed as the men's basketball coach. "I am very thankful. First and foremost I am thankful to my Lord for everything," stated McDowell. "I am extremely honored and humbled by the confidence and endorsement that LSU Shreveport's Administration, Doug Robinson, and the Athletic Council have expressed in me. My time spent here as both a student and employee are some of the best days of my life. I look forward to the opportunities ahead in helping LSU Shreveport grow."

Nick & Stef's Steakhouse
Online Reservations
A great experience and will definitely be dining here again. The waiter service was excellent as well as the food.
Fantastic steaks, wedge salad, chopped salad, and side dishes!! We got there at 9:30, but never felt rushed. Service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable! Kind of hard to find because of construction (supposed to be done by summer 2013) but worth finding it at Madison Square Garden! Nice quiet, low lit atmosphere - classy furnishings. We loved it!!
The food was awesome. I had the chopped house salad which was amazing. My filet mignon was cooked to perfection and was delicious along with the red wine sauce. The sides were out of this world too. We ordered the asparagus and the mushrooms and there was plenty leftover to take home to my husband. My mother had the iceberg wedge with bleu cheese and bacon and said it was delicious. Her entree was the seafood grill which she said was fabulous. Our server, Norman, was great and extremely attentive and friendly! I would go back in heartbeat.
I was very surprised to find such a great steakhouse in a touristy (Penn Station) part of town. Amazing food and service. We had to catch an Amtrak train and we got appetizer and steak and made our train. A great find!
The food was delicious and the waitstaff was both patient and attentive as needed. I would definitely return to Nick and Stef's.
Our lunch was perfect, the Short rib could not have been any better. The Tuna Tartar was the fresh with a nice touch of spiece The Chef or who ever cooked my Rib Eye " cajun " perfect. the service was NYC Steakhouse top ten. Everthing was great. The Rice pudding was as mom used to make
Great spot before a Garden event. They get you in and out in 1 hour which is key for those 7PM starts. Slow roasted prime rib was off the charts. I highly recommend!
Great steaks and just an overall good steakhouse near the garden. Excellent rib-eyes!
Kind of dark but probably partly due to scaffolding overhead; construction also made accesss more difficult. Appetizer portion, and drinks, are very small for the price. Prime rib entree though was one of the best I've had anywhere. Can't beat the convenience to Madison Square Garden seats. Service was very attentive but not intrusive or rushed
The food and service where good. Nice place for lunch.
Came here for a business lunch and was very pleased with the food and service. I'd highly recommend the seafood, it was very fresh. Great place and I definitely will be returning for dinner.
Not as good as it use to be. Food portions have shrunk!! And for the prices and noise level I'd rather be at Keen's. Service was great.
Great service, delicious food, wonderful location for pre-Madison Square Garden events.
Typical New York steak house. Great food and service! Pricey and loud. We ate there before the Fleet wood Mac concert so it was packed. Still we had a great experience. Their reservation system was the best.
We had a nice dinner before the concert. It was pretty full but great vibe and food.
Had dinner before the concert. The food and service was great. We will definitely be back soon.
The food and service were great, but the private entrance into Madison Square Garden makes this restaurant a must when attending events at Madison Square Garden. The noise level is lively so there is no concern when dining here with a large group. Cocktails were great!
Excellent steaks! Very nice for proximity to Madison Square Garden, interior entrance to Garden a nice plus for events.
We have been coming here for years and always leave happy. Try the softshell crabs.
Came here for a business lunch and was very pleased with everything. Had the crab cake appetizer and the filet mignon, both were delicious. Great service too. I'll definitely be returning.
We are always happy with this place. It is the only good place to get a good meal around penn station. I was upset to hear that it will be closed once again for the summer.
Loved it! Met some friends for drinks at the bar and couldn't resist staying for dinner. Great energy from the staff, conveniently located, and overall awesome. Heard they're closing for the summer but I can't wait to come back when they reopen in the fall.
Ate here before a Rangers game and it was great. Attentive and speedy service. Lots of menu choices.
Came in for lunch on Wednesday the 23rd and was pleasantly surprised to hear it was actually their first day reopen since the end of the MSG construction. Good timing on my part I guess because it was the best lunch I'd had in a while. The friendly staff was in high spirits and their good moods were contagious, not to mention the incredible food (had "the Dip", a delicious steak sandwich), making it the perfect recipe for a very memorable experience. Can't wait to come back
Dropped in here on Friday night 10/25/13 after having 2 job interviews in Midtown, and once again this place did not disappoint. Decided to eat at the bar, despite the fact that many tables were surprisingly available, for a Friday night. The bartenders Debbie & Lawrence are both excellent; they provide great service & have excellent knowledge of the menu. I had the 12 oz. Filet Mignon, which was cooked perfectly and served with 3 of their signature side sauces...bernaise, blue cheese & horseradish. Once the Knicks & Rangers home seasons really get going, I'm sure that this place will be jamming as I have seen it that way many times previously before both team's home games or concerts.
The steaks where very good and the service was attentive.
Working in the neighborhood it is nice to have a good steak house back. I the Tuna tare Tare was great. guest had the soup and said it was very good
Tried Nick and Stef's for the first time, since I was going to the Rangers home opener. I saw on the website that they had a private entrance to MSG, which was a major plus. I would rate the food as good as any other steak house in NYC (if not better). Pricey, but no more than any high end steak house in the City. Thought the drink prices were a little high, but I don't get around NYC too much, so it just might be normal pricing for the area.
First things first, MSG finally ended its multi-year renovation project that was crippling business for Nick and Stefs Steakhouse. The entrance finally looks legit. No more scaffolding! Then when you get inside, you realize the many improvements that were made during the summer when they were forced to be closed. The menu has been re-vamped, along with the fabulous wine list! our server didn't skip a beat on table maintenance and service. And finally the food, wow! What really put a smile on my face was the filet mignon. Juicy, flavorful, and just immaculate!!!!! One thing I missed from my last visit were the flat-bread crisps. Otherwise, everything was perfect!!!!! Definite recommendation to anyone and everyone!!!!
Too noisy to enjoy the meal and the wait staff forgot about us at the end of the meal -
First time at the restaurant. I will definitely be back for more business lunches.
Came before a Ranger game with a few buddies. Definitely didn't expect to be having buffalo for dinner! It was one of the specials and I'm very grateful to my awesome server for recommending it. Had a great time with great food, hope to be back again.
After being closed all summer due to renovations at the Garden- I am so happy they are back! The steaks are always done to perfection and the sides are delicious. A few new additions including an au gratin potato which was superb. The bar scene is hopping on game nights. Prices are reasonable for steakhouses in NYC and it's by far the best in the area if not the city! Service is always top notch!
Noisy and crowded but a convenient and good place to go before a venue at Madison square garden. Food is good . Make sure to tell your waiter you have a show or a game so your food arrives in enough time for you to eat and get into the garden. Convenient entrance into the garden directly from the restaurant Ask the hostess as the door is slightly hidden
Nick and Stef's is the perfect place to dine before a concert or sporting event at Madison Square Garden. The atmosphere is sophisticated and hip, and the food and service are top-notch. They will always get you out in time for your event. We love the steaks (especially the fillet mignon with bordelaise sauce) and fish dishes (you can't go wrong with the salmon if you are looking for something a bit lighter) - and the coconut cream cake is fabulous.
The noise level was so bad that you could not hear your company of four. They ran out of the short rib, but offered my anything on the menu gratis It's a great spot for before an event dinner, except for the noise level.
Dinner and appetizers were cooked perfectly. My bone in ribeye was one of the best I've had. Our server Jessica took care of us like we were her only table. The best kept secret is the private entrance into MSG. There was no one in line at this entrance. Overall a perfect night.
The restaurant was more than what I expected. The food was excellent, as well as the service. Unfortunately, it ook us 2.5 hours to get into the city from New Jersey. We were attending the concert at Madison Sq. garden, so we felt rushed. I was hoping for a slow romantic dinner with my husband, but it didn't happen. The server was very attentive and polite. Glad we made the choice to eat at Nick and Steff's.
Great location, great bartender, great servers, great wine selection, knowledgeable staff. I ordered filet medium well...came well done but ate it anyway. My dining partner's meal was spot on. Biggest complaint...tables for two TOO close together. No chance for any kind of conversation.
Very pleasantly surprised with my meal at nick & Stef's. Had never heard of it before going before an MSG event, was wary of a restaurant imbedded in the Garden, but my meal was excellent (Ribeye), and they got us in and out in plenty of time for the game. Staff very nice and engaging. Looking forward to going back.
Everything was pleasant. We got to use there private entrance.
Great steak cooked perfect ! The Tuna was also very good and Decoy Cab by the glass it is as good as it gets. The shrimp were huge
located in Madison Sq Garden at 33 and 8th, Nick and Stef's is easy to miss. but don't miss it. it is one of the best in the area, and great before any event at the Garden. They even have a private interior entrance into the Garden itself.
I would have expected the dish to look appealing considering the price of the entree...
I've been to Nick and Stef's before and the food is always great. A little pricey for for MSG in NYC I guess that's to be expected. Would recommend!
The Steak was Perfect! I was moaning in my head while eating it
Nick and Stef's is the ideal spot for dining before any activity at MSG. The cordial welcome and bustling ambiance is always nice, so is seeing star athletes while enjoying some good food. The food is good, tuna tartar, fresh shrimp, salads. The steaks are good not great. The wine list is good there are some good values and the wait staff is friendly and helpful. The salmon portion is generally small but the shrimp scampi is very good. I think that the food is a solid B/B+. This is not Keen's but if its game night and cold out who wants to walk the extra blocks. We return because you are made to feel welcome and the service and food is decent. The desserts are average.
Filet was excellent as was service. We'll be back.

Intel expands Atom to home servers
Intel's Atom chip is moving up in the world, from Netbooks to home and small-office servers.
The chipmaker on Thursday launched its first Atom processor optimized for the SOHO (small office/home office) market. Intel's new platform marries the Atom D410 single-core or D510 dual-core chip, along with its 82801IR I/O Controller, to power small servers and storage devices made by LaCie, LG Electronics, and other manufacturers.
The new Atom chips use 50 percent less power and offer better performance than older Atoms, according to Intel, helping them drive more demanding SOHO servers and NAS (network-attached storage) … Read more

Travelers to Detroit may notice some signs of the city's economic challenges, but they'll also see the results of a decade-long revitalization effort and a proud, richly diverse city (anchor to a metro population of 4.4 million) determined to come out stronger.
Downtown's 3.5-mile Riverwalk follows the Detroit River past the gleaming towers of the Renaissance Center (left), home to General Motors and the Detroit Marriott Hotel. To the northwest, Woodward Avenue passes the Tigers' and Lions' stadiums. The fabulously reinvented Detroit Institute of Arts is among the museums clustered in the Cultural Center, while farther north, the Motown Historical Museum traces the city's musical legacy. The area's biggest draw is The Henry Ford, in Dearborn.

The D programming language has the concept of a slice. Slices are a neat way to do data processing with arrays but have a fundamental flaw, related to garbage collection, that I'll explain here. I'll also present a way that this flaw can be fixed.
This post assumes some familiarity with garbage collection.
Crash Course on Slices
I'm not going to explain slices in all their glory – see this instead. The short story is this: A slice is simply a length + pointer pair. The pointer points to some arbitrary memory and the length specifies how many contiguous elements are at that location in memory. D does not really have arrays in the traditional sense. Consider this code:
int[] xs = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
The xs variable is not actually an array. It's a slice with a length of 5 and a pointer to somewhere in memory. We can now do this:
int[] ys = xs[1 .. 4];
This is what slicing means and where the name slice comes from. The ys variable is now a slice with a length of 3 and a pointer to the second element in xs. Slices are especially beautiful in string processing code since you can pick off parts of a string easily.
The Problem with Slices
First, a thing to note: Slices are passed by value. This means that they are effectively a two-word struct being passed around. This is of course for efficiency reasons, since allocating a heap object for every slice would be unreasonably wasteful.
Now, consider that the pointer part of a slice can point to GC-managed memory. This means that the garbage collector has to scan it. This is not bad in itself, but let's review the code above:
int[] ys = xs[1 .. 4];
As said, ys's pointer is now pointing inside xs's memory block. We have an interior pointer. This forces the garbage collector to not only scan slices conservatively, but also to assume that their pointer part can be an interior pointer. And this is for every single array/slice in a D program.
This is clearly a huge problem for type-precise garbage collection.
The Proposed Solution
Given an arbitrary slice pointing to any non-null memory, we want to be able to immediately tell whether that block of memory is GC-managed without having to do a heap range check on the slice's pointer.
There is fundamentally only one way to solve this problem (without introducing unacceptable overhead) with two variations. It boils down to storing a pointer to the original memory block in the slice. This means that slices will become 3 words long. This is a significant change because it means an extra word to copy around when slices are passed between functions. On the other hand, I think the advantages it gives in garbage collection complexity (or rather, reduction thereof) outweigh that.
So, previously, slices look like this (assuming a word size of 8):
------ ------------ Offset Value ------ ------------ 0 Length 8 Pointer ------ ------------
In my scheme, slices look like this:
------ ------------ Offset Value ------ ------------ 0 Length 8 Base Pointer 16 Pointer ------ ------------
The base pointer here is the pointer to the start of the memory block. This ensures that the GC can trivially figured out that the memory is live. The pointer is then the (possibly interior) pointer to the relevant part of the memory block as in the old slice representation.
The other variation looks like this:
------ ------------ Offset Value ------ ------------ 8 Base Pointer 16 Offset ------ ------------
Here, offset means the offset into the base pointer to get the actual region of memory that the slice points to. This does mean a little extra work when doing indexing. It also assumes that the location the base pointer points to stores the memory block's length. This scheme allows slices to work with arrays in the Common Language Infrastructure and other virtual machines. It would not work for plain D that compiles to native code, however.
I hope one of these variations can be worked into the D language. The current situation is highly problematic for garbage collection — and also prevents a D port to the .NET ecosystem — and needs to be addressed.
Comments very welcome – if you spot a flaw in the proposed solution, do say so. If something about the new scheme seems confusing or unsound, speak up too – it probably indicates a flaw. Suggestions for a better solution are also appreciated!

At least four people are dead after after a container vessel collided with a car carrier in the North Sea, the Netherlands Coast Guard said Thursday. The search for eight missing people was called off at 2 a.m. A decision on whether to continue the operation was to be made at first light. The carrier Baltic Ace began sinking immediately after it collided with the container vessel at 7:15 p.m. (1:15 p.m. ET) Wednesday, 60 kilometers (32 miles) west of Rotterdam, according to Coast Guard P.R. Manager Peter Verburg.

Grow regional road pricing policies from individual projects and develop modeling tools that reflect a wide range of impacts.
Experience in four metropolitan areas
Minneapolis-St. Paul Region; Minneapolis; Minnesota; United States; Dallas/Fort Worth Region; Dallas; Texas; United States; San Francisco Bay Area; San Francisco; California; United States; Puget Sound Region; Seattle; Washington; United States
Background (Show)
Lesson Learned
The following key themes and lessons learned summarize the findings of a literature review and the documents referenced in Appendix B of the source report.
- Grow regional road pricing policies from individual projects. Individual project proposals can be used to introduce pricing concepts to a metropolitan area and facilitate integration of pricing concepts into long-range plans and vision statements. Results from the literature review suggest that once individual road pricing projects are underway and gaining favorable response, regional and state governments will adopt them into their long-range plans and develop supportive policies.
- Develop the right modeling tools. Basic four-step travel demand models are not well suited to represent the complex societal changes that extensive road pricing projects can bring about. The goals, vision, and priorities of a particular region will shape how modeling tools are developed. For example, in the Twin Cities area the main question from a regional perspective focused primarily on how many people would choose to use managed lanes and at what price. Relatively simple modifications were required to update traffic assignment routines previously unable to account for more complicated changes in travel patterns such as changes to trip distribution patterns, trip-making volume, or housing/job location decisions. In the Puget Sound region, another example described how policy boards tasked with developing long-range plans that included extensive pricing and VMT fees demanded better answers relating to changes in driver behavior as well as development patterns and economic impacts. Thus, the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) spent several years developing new travel demand modeling and benefit–to-cost analysis techniques.
- Maintain visibility for tolling and road pricing projects. Communicating road pricing concepts and building consensus can be difficult, especially when those concepts are unknown and untested. Engage the public incrementally. For example, in the Dallas/Fort Worth region, road pricing was perceived as a logical outgrowth of decades of toll road development. An incremental approach aided in public and stakeholder acceptance.

During the work session with commissioners Bonaparte also said he has decided to use The Waters Consulting Group to conduct the search – the same company that conducted the search for a new city manager last year resulting in Bonaparte's hiring.
The decision to use Waters Consulting Group came after the company's bid for the search came in nearly $8,900 cheaper than other companies. Bonaparte said they were able to come in low because of the research they have already completed on the City of Sanford.
Bonaparte had originally considered using the Police Executive Research Firm, which he used to locate the city's interim chief – Richard Myers – after Bill Lee Jr. stepped-down from the position in March.
Myers was brought on board in early May to serve an in interim capacity while Bonaparte sought an internal investigation into the police department following the shooting and killing of Trayvon Martin. During this time Lee remained on administrative leave with pay. Lee was ultimately fired from the position in late June.
Myers arrival marked the fifth police chief to run Sanford's police department since December 2010. After former police chief Brian Tooley retired early in January 2011, the department has been run by Seminole County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Steve Harriett, Lee and Sanford Police Captain Darren Scott.
Myers has informed commissioners he is willing to remain in Sanford for as long as they need him and until the search for a new chief is complete.
