Avid Technology has unveiled iNEWS Command, a system that integrates with any newsroom computer system and provides broadcasters with automation control over playout devices, including video servers, still stores and character generators.
Designed for mission-critical operations, the iNEWS Command system can be configured to eliminate single points of failure so a backup system can automatically take over in the event of a failure of any playout component.
The system can be tightly synchronized with iNEWS and other third-party NRCS solutions, so even changes in content or rundown order in the final seconds before broadcast are immediately reflected in the iNEWS Command playlist.

American songwriter, musician and poet, born August 25, 1967.
Jeff Tweedy (born August 25, 1967 in Belleville, Illinois, United States) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and poet best known for his work with the group Wilco. Tweedy also founded (along with Jay Farrar) the alternative country group Uncle Tupelo, and is a member of Golden Smog, an occasional musical collective whose shifting personnel also includes members of The Jayhawks, Soul Asylum and The Replacements. Jeff is also a member of Loose Fur, which includes Jim O'Rourke (Sonic Youth) and Glenn Kotche (Wilco). Further, as part of (Wilco) Tweedy teamed up with Billy Bragg to set Guthrie family-held lyrics of Woody Guthrie's to new music on the critically acclaimed albums Mermaid Avenue and Mermaid Avenue Vol II.
Jeffrey Scot Tweedy (born August 25, 1967 in Belleville, Illinois, United States) is an American songwriter, musician and leader of the band Wilco. Tweedy joined rockabilly band The Plebes with high school friend Jay Farrar in the early 1980s, but Tweedy's musical interests caused one of Farrar's brothers to quit. The Plebes changed their name to The Primitives in 1984, and subsequently to Uncle Tupelo. Uncle Tupelo garnered enough support to earn a record deal and to tour nationally. After releasing four albums, the band broke up in 1994 because of conflicts between Tweedy and Farrar.
In 1994, Tweedy formed Wilco with John Stirratt, Max Johnston, and Ken Coomer. Wilco has released eight albums and found commercial success with their albums Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, Sky Blue Sky and Wilco (The Album). The band also released two collaboration albums with Billy Bragg and one with The Minus 5. Jeff Tweedy has been the recipient of two Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Album for A Ghost Is Born. Tweedy has also participated in a number of side groups including Golden Smog and Loose Fur, has released a book of poems, and has released a DVD of solo performances. He was originally influenced by punk and country music, but has recently reflected more experimental themes in his music.
Tweedy has been afflicted with migraine headaches since childhood. Treatment for the migraines led to a dependency on painkillers, for which he underwent successful rehab in 2004. Tweedy also has been open about the fact that he suffers from clinical depression and panic attacks.

What Should the Next Mass Effect Be?

First off, there are going to be huge spoilers here since the ending's going to play a huge role in this discussion, so to people like Trip who still really need to play this, you've been warned. But I think a good starting point would be: Prequel, continuation, side story, or non-RPG spin-off? Personally, I think prequel is the least interesting of the three since there's so much they could build onto the universe and the codex already explained every question I could possibly want answered. A side story would be cool, so long as it ends before the Reaper invasion and has little or nothing to do with Shepard and the Reapers. Things like terrorist plots could make a very cool Mass Effect story in my opinion. I want it to continue however, and not immediately after, but hundreds or even a thousand years after ME3. The problem is that brings the issue of continuity. Let's be real: Either the Geth are all destroyed, Shepard's essence controls the Reapers, or that stupid synthesis thing because there's no way I see them continuing the refusal ending. Synthesis takes away from the very essence of ME, making technology turn into magic, so if that's canonized for one, I don't see myself buying the next one. Control could make for a really cool plotline where Shepard brings back the Reapers hundreds of years later, but at the same time, I want ME to shift focus away from the Reapers and not be synonymous with them. Destroy could work because I'm fine with EDI dying, but the Geth are something that needs to stay. They're as much a part of ME as the Asari, Mass Relays, or Krogan. It would not be a deal breaker like canonizing Synthesis, but with the way Legion described how Geth work, I could see a way where the Geth were able to survive the Destroy ending, but weak so they did not appear in the Extended Cut. I could see it working where it didn't matter what you picked though, where Shepard's story is legend and mostly forgotten save a much older Liara (come on, it would be worth having just for that). Above all else though: Let us pick between races. They already let us do that to in the MP so the framework's there, but I think Turians, Salarians, Quarians, and Asari should be playable at the bare minimum, maybe Krogan and Drell. Make the conversations more like Dragon Age so there's not a huge amount of voice work. And above all else: lots of planets to explore. I was fine with just the Citadel in ME3 because every planet's being invaded by the Reapers, but make the next one more like 1 and 2 with exploration, maybe even more. |
Nephilimi | #2 Subject: What Should the Next Mass Effect Be? Posted: 02/11/2013 23:36:22 |
Okay I'm going to get in on this thread before it gets out of hand like the FF one. Basically just make Dragon Age Origins in space. The ME universe is so rich and there's so much to explore. Give us like 6 race origin stories, tons of planets to visit working towards a big goal. You're not going to top the Reapers, that's perfect. Just go with a smaller scale story and it will work fine. The Racchni Wars or something. Or when man first discovers the Relay and a conflict with the Turians. Anything. Dragon Age Origins wasn't even the end of the world, it was a Blight on one tiny continent of the world and it still worked. It doesn't matter that we know how the War ended, it's the journey. There was no surprise that the Wardens would probably end the Blight, but who would make it and how would it end was the good part. Due to the fucked up endings it has to be a prequel imo. Or... it could be a sequel. Everything would run exactly the same except you could load your ME3 save and it would give the world a slight red or green or blue hue depending. Again, everything would be the same except for the slight colours, that way it keeps in line with the endings. |
Epic Greenma... | #3 Subject: Re:What Should the Next Mass Effect Be? Posted: 02/12/2013 00:10:08 |
The problem with the Rachni Wars and First Contact War is that they would be a poor representation of the universe. The first would be lacking humans for one thing, as well as key alien races like Quarians and Batarians, after all, they took place over 1500 years ago in the ME timeline. First Contact War meanwhile was something only between humans and Turians until the very end when the Council stepped in. I could see those for a Battlefront style game (which would be awesome), but not an RPG. There's also that one of the things that kept the Mass Effect universe so fresh all these years was that there was always something new to discover. Like how you discovered what a Reaper was in 1, how the Collectors are Protheans in 2, or all the secrets behind the Quarians, Krogan, and Asari in 3. A prequel wouldn't have anything new to discover, it would just be the same old ME universe. Make it a sequel and there can be such a huge time gap filled with discoveries. I thought of a way to incorporate all three endings though that goes with the taking place 1000 years after: Make Mass Effect 3's ending some legend that got obscured by history. The Citadel is gone and everyone has their different theory behind what let the galaxy beat the Reapers. We're not sure whether they went away or were destroyed while some believe they helped us rebuild and use "synthesis" to explain it. All that matters is it's been so long that no one really remembers and because rebuilding was such a tough process, everyone save Liara and Grunt remember what really happen, and even then they aren't exactly sure on how Shepard really drove the Reapers away. |

1st, I want to say if the new ME has anything to do with the synthesis ending, then I think I just might be out. I hate that ending. It's so damn stupid. Like the whole universe would be fine with being organic and machine. Yeah... right. I'm also not a big fan of Shepard taking control of the Reapers either. It makes an AI of Shepard into some kind of God that deals with the galaxy's problems. If it's renegade Shepard, I can see problems coming up, but if it's paragon Shepard, wouldn't the galaxy be perfect? Either way, I still think it's a pretty lame ending. Maybe if the Shepard AI broke down or something? No, still lame. Kill off the Reapers, IMO, is the best ending. The only bad thing is that the Geth die, but since I never believe the Geth were "alive", I don't have a problem with dead. I respect their existence, but I didn't think they were alive with a soul. If killing them off meant saving the the universe, I'll kill them every time. Except for a few times, I did kill them off every time. As for the next ME game. I think it can be at any time, though I would prefer after ME3. The next game doesn't have to be a huge adventure that saves everyone. The story can be interesting. Just because the Reapers are gone, doesn't mean the universe is safe. Like the real world, I'm sure there is still crime and unjustice. The possibilities are really endless. If Bioware can pull it together with great writing. |

I'd actually be OK with having a game take place somewhere between ME1/ME2 or ME2/ME3. I know BioWare explains what happens in between those time periods but a good supplementary story that adds to what's already been stated would be perfect. A story like that wouldn't even need to involve Shepard or his crew directly. Between ME1/ME2 they could explore more of the Geth/Quarian conflict or add more of a story to better explain or hint at why Cerberus got involved to begin with, aside from the what's best for mankind line. Between ME2/ME3 they could go in to what happens between Shepard's grounding and re-instatement. A splinter cell group investigating Shepards claims, or a Cerberus crew going through the Omega 4 relay after Shepard is grounded or a Cerberus crew that goes rogue after uncovering dastardly plans. There are many different angles that can be taken between ME2/ME3 alone that could make for a good side story. I'd also like to see a better implementation of the MP. Now I know that might start a fire with some people but if they were take the foundation they built in ME3 (let's face it, as fun as the MP is/was, it's more of a giant beta test) they could build a pretty solid MP from that. I think BioWare has a good idea of where they need to take the MP, I just hope they can pull it off correctly... which oddly enough, is exactly what I said about the MP itself when I first heard about it. |

CactusMatt | #9 Subject: Re:What Should the Next Mass Effect Be? Posted: 02/12/2013 13:05:15 |
I'd be totally cool with a couch or online CO-OP too. I've brought this up before but a CO-OP along the lines of a Splinter Cell: Conviction type would be awesome for the ME universe, I think. Another story that would compliment the SP story in some way, I could definitely get on board with that. As far as multiplayer is concerned, when BioWare added it, it rubbed me the wrong way too. I also ignored it for a couple of months after I beat the SP. MP usually isn't my cup of tea but, despite my jaded feelings towards MP in general, they figured out a way to make it click for me. It just became fun. |

Who says you couldn't just tell a spin off story...yeah, the stakes wouldn't be as high as Reapers and universal annihilation but it could be a smaller more personal story and still work! That said, when's the last time the villain in Bioware hasn't been trying to eradicate life? |

I think that they should continue MP, but let another developer make it and leave Bioware to the RPGs. I liked how ME3 MP let you see what the fight against the Reapers was like, but I really want to see the series become like Star Wars is in video games, where no matter what genre you like, there's a game in this series you'll enjoy. That's why I want Bioware's next ME game to be set a thousand years later, that's the best from an RPG perspective. For a side story, make a stealth game, a regular shooter, an RTS, there's all kinds of possibilities. I want the RPGs to explore the universe more though, and I think a sequel could do that best. |

ME3 MP is worth playing just because it lets you play as other races. Ever since I saw Wrex, I wanted to play as a Krogan. |

I like the idea of making Shepard like a legend and having it take place thousands of years after. You could have the antagonist's be a cult that worships her, or just make it a standard religion that treats her like a god. I just really want to play as an Asari. |
Nephilimi | #15 Subject: What Should the Next Mass Effect Be? Posted: 02/12/2013 23:42:08 |
I don't think something like First Contact would be a poor representation of the universe. You could have like a Cidatel team going to investigate humans and then screwing up and trying to diffuse the war or whatever. You could easily have a Krogan or Asari character and go to their colonies or what not for side missions. The greater conflict isn't important. Think about DAO, ME1-3 How much time do you actually spend "fighting the Reapers or the Blight"? In ME2 none of the races aside from humans were really involved with the Collectors and it still worked. The more I thought about it, the more a sequel would really suck. Sorry Greenman but I just couldn't see your suggestion working. Thousands of year or not the game would have to have too many silly, overly convenient plot holes. For example in my ME universe those Krogan bastards are circling the drain to extinction. In your ME universe they are the next Reaper threat. Even 1000 years later how do you reconcile the two without there being a really stupid explanation. Or, like you mentioned, the geth. There's no real middle ground. It would just have to be on big clusterfuck. What they will probably just do is a parallel story like most people have been mentioning. That would be easiest. Actually I had a great idea. Just have the entire game take place on one planet but... get... this... the game happens over ten years split into three time periods. That way they don't have to worry about a story at all and they can recycle the same fucking environments three or more times. Also make it so that every time you hit a button... something awesome happens. What I wouldn't mind seeing is ME improve as a game. ME is close to MGS as my favorite game series of all time but ME as a game sucks. It can hardly be called an RPG and it's a pretty lame as a shooter. |
Epic Greenma... | #16 Subject: Re:What Should the Next Mass Effect Be? Posted: 02/13/2013 00:00:34 |
The thing is though, based on what the codex said, there's no wiggle room to include anything other than Turians and humans in the First Contact War. It was just humans trying to activate a relay, then Turians stopped them until the Council stepped in. No one knew about humans before that and until the Council stepped in, only Turians made contact with humans. If you don't want the game to be like Dragon Age 2, then First Contact War is the wrong way to go, because that's how it would have to be set up without breaking continuity. It took place in one solar system, was between two races, and only lasted three months, that's not the kind of thing that would make an interesting RPG for me. I'd rather see EA put another developer on it to make a normal shooter. A side story would be good, but I just think a sequel would be the best way for long term growth in the series. They would have to canonize some things that made your choices different, yes, and it might suck at first, but in the long run I think it would be for the best. And there are ways I can see them getting around it one way or another, like the Krogan where Mordin said they were adapting the the Genophage. What's to say they couldn't adapt to his modified Genophage? I definitely agree that gameplay needs to take a step up. I'd really like the series to move away from cover based shooting, regular third person would be more fun to me. If it's a side story, give the characters weaker weapons or if it's a sequel, give stronger shields, I'm just getting sick of cover. I'd also like to see adding ship combat, whether it's just giving commands or taking control of your ship, I think it would be an interesting way to break the shooting up. |

The only way a far-future ME sequel could work is if the writers REALLY had some balls. Make some species extinct, introduce new ones, show long term bad things happening and unexpected things happening to other races. But fans would get all weasly about the changes to their favorite races and stuff but considering that Shepherd was working on bettering all of the races in the last game it would be interesting to see where they ended up in the long term. Also, just because a conflict happens over 3 months...how is that not enough time? Mass Effect 2 takes place in like...2 weeks. So does the first one. That said, I agree and think the scale of the conflict might not work for a full fledged game. I think a prequel to the original trilogy that is more political/game of thrones style between races and budding diplomats and having some sort of personal vendetta in the mix would be pretty awesome. As for gameplay...yeah, there are VERY few games where I don't think "...I could just physically position myself behind this wall and then I wouldn't get frustrated and get stuck to things all the time. Low wall you say? BRING BACK THE FUCKING CROUCH BUTTON!" |

So just based off of the suggestions posted, this is what we've got so far: The popular vote seems to lean towards a sequel that takes place some time after ME3, where you can choose which race to play, has ME1/2 type exploration, some form of CO-OP/MP, better gameplay setup, plot hole coverage, and a fucking crouch button. Tied for the next best thing is either a prequel or a spin-off/sidestory with origin stories and some of what is mentioned above. If we go the sequel route it would need to be close to 50,000 years after ME3, just to stick with lore. In my opinion, BioWare left us the perfect antagonist in Javik. The only living Prothean. No matter which ending you chose, Javik lived and we already know his species were imperialistic and power hungry. So, let's just say as everyone is rebuilding and moving on from the Reapers instead of letting the Protheans die off with Javik, as he suggested he would do if the battle was won, the decision is made to try and bring back his species with science and space magic. I'm not sure how long Protheans live but let's just assume the process used to reinvigorate his species worked and a few thousand years later they become a leading species on par with the Asari again. Fast forward a few thousand years more and, since old habits die hard and all, they have now effectively taken the role the Reapers once held, as scourge of the universe. They'd have full strength in numbers, sympathizers, and plenty of wiggle room to fill in some of those plot holes. Plus, cosidering how a lot of people hated Javik as a character, which I don't understand why, they would make the perfect heir to the most hated throne. There are a number of different things they could do with a storyline like that. Also, let's not forget the introduction Leviathan. There are a few possible roads that could be taken there too, seeing as how they were in hiding only to avoid being hunted down by the Reapers... whom are now dead. Oh the possibilities. |
Epic Greenma... | #20 Subject: Re:What Should the Next Mass Effect Be? Posted: 02/13/2013 10:01:42 |
I'm not sure on the Prothean idea, but I'm all in favor of Leviathan playing a role in future ME games. |
Nephilimi | #21 Subject: What Should the Next Mass Effect Be? Posted: 02/13/2013 17:05:21 |
You've clearly canvassed the codex here Greenman. I'm not set on the First Contact war, I'm just saying a small conflict, with great writing can explore the universe and tell a great story. Sure, there are plenty of ways they can get around the choices you made but, like I said, it would be lame, overly convenient bad story writing. I made the choice three freaking times to continue the Genophage and you're going to tell me they just "adapted' to it over time. That's bullshit. If you're going to slap me in the face then do it really hard. I completely agree with Twolf. I would prefer they just take a hardline ballsy approach and canonize everything. "Sure you played the ME trilogy, you made your decisions and had your fun... but this is the way it's going to be. Certain choices were right." Korgan's are extinct. Geth and Quarians live together and became a superpower. Etc etc. Bring in some new races. But just don't do the... "neutral" thing. We got enough of that throughout the series with robo-racchni queen and generic geth ai, etc. The irony is that the ending was so fucking stupid, it would be the easiest thing to white wash... because there's really no different between any of them. The Protheans coming back with some force would be cool. The conflict in ME was just so big it makes things difficult. Dragon Age (and Elder Scrolls) took good approaches. Each game just happens on one continent. So you can move to another continent and still use the same history, races and setting. You can even have cross over characters without ruining the continuity. With ME there just isn't that option. |

I miss the Protheans from ME1 where they were just mysterious as fuck and intelligent beyond their years. Also, I think Dragon Age 2's sucking probably had less to do with it being a more personal story and mroe with it being a numbered entry in a big series that was rushed as hell. That said, haven't played it, but I probably will at some point and for the $5 I can get it for nowadays I can probably live with it but...yeah. I still think a prequel could work, like not in the distant past, just before Shepherd came into play. The humans are still ill respected among the alien races, things are all tense and not all buddy-buddy. THe council and spectors are still very much respected, Reapers aren't even in play yet. I think there's some interesting wiggle room there. |
Epic Greenma... | #23 Subject: Re:What Should the Next Mass Effect Be? Posted: 02/13/2013 17:45:54 |
I never said they had to do it that way, I was just saying it was a possibility. I'm in favor of just canonizing some things, I'm just saying there is a way to explain some things. I'm with you though, I would prefer they canonize some things. The new species thing is a reason I'm interested in a sequel too. Take the Yahg for instance, sure they're hostile now, but years later would they be more civilized and in the same situation as humanity at the start of ME? That's a really interesting idea. I agree about a small conflict too, I'd love if the next ME was just about taking out someone with a past like Jack's. I'm just saying I don't think there's anything in ME's past to make a full RPG out of. Spin-offs are a better choice there. |

Here's one thing I think we can all at least agree on: No fucking swords in any more Mass Effect games. I just played the mission where Kai Leng is introduced and even though I thought he was a cool villain, it was so stupid how he and all those Cerberus Phantoms carried these swords against people with guns. I know there's shields and biotic barriers, doesn't change that it's stupid in a world like Mass Effect. Plus those insta-stab kills they and the Banshees did were really annoying. |

I have all the individual comics. They were all $3.50. I think they're good. There are 4 series of comics and each series has 4 issuses. You can also buy them in graphic novel form. I think they're like $19.99 each or something like that. There are also comics that were only released digitally. I didn't like those much though and I think there is 2 or 3 of them. The last one released was a silly one about Blasto. |

1. What are the major requirements to study abroad?
Students planning to study abroad must be highly motivated, successful students. This means a minimum grade point average of 2.5, however, a 2.8 or 3.0 is required for many programs. Intellectual curiosity and personal flexibility are important traits to cultivate in oneself prior to beginning any period of study away. Only USM degree candidates are eligible. If you were admitted through the USM admissions office, that's you!
2. Where can I study abroad?
Programs are available throughout the world such as Canada, Argentina, China, Australia, South Africa, and England. There are four general options for studying abroad: reciprocal exchange programs, partner institutions, study abroad program providers and travel courses.
Reciprocal exchange programs are with specific universities that exchange or "swap seats" with USM students. The advantage of these programs is that you continue paying your regular USM tuition and fees. These are the most affordable study abroad option. Partner institutions give USM students discounts, and program providers give you the option to study in a country where USM does not have any connections or if one of our exchanges does not meet your needs. Travel courses are USM courses that are taught overseas. You travel with USM faculty members and your classmates during the summer or winter session for anywhere from ten days to three weeks.
3. Do I have to speak another language to study abroad?
No, you do not need to be fluent in another language to study abroad. There are many programs that offer courses in English. Some universities have a required number of years that you must have studied the host language. Most universities will test you upon arrival and put you into classes that will most match your level of fluency.
4. When can I study abroad?
Most students study abroad during their junior year. You can go as early as your sophomore year and as late as your first semester of senior year. We strongly advise students to not go abroad during their final semester.
Before you can study abroad you need to be a matriculated degree student at USM. Students must complete a minimum of 24 college credits prior to departure. Transfer students should contact our office for information on additional application requirements. You should have completed some courses from both your major and the Core Curriculum. However, it should be early enough in your program so that you still have some flexibility with regards to the courses that you need to complete. The most important issue is to determine when studying abroad is the best for you, academically and personally.
5. How long can I study at another university?
Depending on which program you choose, you can study for just a few weeks during the summer, or study abroad for one semester or the entire year. You can EVEN spend one semester in one location and another semester in a different location.
6. How much does it cost to study abroad?
It depends on the program you choose. USM has a number of exchange programs in which you pay USM in-state tuition regardless of your residency. There are also a number of programs set up by other universities that are similar in cost to USM. Scholarships are available for studying abroad.
7. Can I use my USM Financial Aid to study abroad?
Yes, you can use your aid abroad provided you complete our approval process. Your aid package will be based on your study abroad program costs. The only aid that cannot be used are work-study funds and USM-based scholarships (unless you are participating on a reciprocal exchange program).
8. Will I receive full credit if I study abroad?
Provided you complete our approval process, you will get full credit for your studies away. It is important to note that credit is based on the transcript which is received from your host university. You should also be prepared to bring back your work, the books and the syllabi, so that accurate course equivalences can be established. The credits you earn abroad will be listed on your U.S.M. transcript as "transfer credits" and although the grades will be listed, these credits will not be factored into your cumulative GPA.
9. Is study abroad limited to certain majors?
Students from any major can study abroad. In your essay, you'll explain the reasons why study abroad will help you in your academic career.
10. If I decide to study abroad, what is my next step?
Application deadlines are in mid-October and late February/early March each year.
11. Does USM offer travel courses with USM faculty?
Yes! Anyone who has completed at least 15 undergraduate credits and has at least a 2.0 GPA can enroll in a travel course and earn USM credit.
12. What should I do now?
1. Make sure you meet the minimum criteria for Study Abroad (see item #1 above).
2. Make an appointment to meet with one of our advisors (780-4959).
- Review your choices
- Refine your list of options
- Discuss the qualities of a successful application
3. Review your study abroad options and select a program based on:
- Your major & course availability abroad
- Personal interest & career goals
- Language skills
- Budget
5. Prepare a full application to meet the appropriate deadlines (See #10 above).

Comments about Men's Dimension Jacket:
Just buy this jacket. It's delicious. I wear it during the summer months on Lake Michigan, and it is a great windbreaker and rain jacket. It is not heavily insulated, but keeps me comfortable in windy, mid-50s weather. There are a number of zipped pockets, a hidden hood, and adjustable cuffs. Plus it looks awesome. Well worth the money.

Expreview, has got hold of information which details NVIDIA's new 9600GT Green Edition GPU. It appears to be nothing more than a BIOS tweak, but as such has resulted in a 37W (39%) drop in power consumption, allowing the card to function without the need of an external power connector. This has resulted in a new board revision number P562. The memory clocks remain the same at 900 MHz, but the core drops to 600 MHz, with 1500 MHz on the shaders. By doing this, NVIDIA have been able to drop the core voltage from 1.1V to 1.0V, most likely providing the biggest saving in power. Source: Expreview
Not the same as...? Correct me if I'm wrong but if you underclock anything won't it consume less power? External connector or not, less MHz should result in less power draw no?
Interesting, shame my board doesn't support SLI. Would be an interesting relatively low power solution while remaning quite a nice performance level. If AMD would come with such a card I'd gladly have two.
Sure does, but like I said in the post, the biggest saving of power should be the drop in core voltage.
Sure, but not close to the claimed improvement. The connector isn't the cause, but an improvement, it's no longer required.
I can understand that a drop in core voltage should result in power savings but the performance also dropped so this seems like an advertising gimmick to me. If they had dropped the core voltage, got rid of the external power connector, and kept the same core speed as before then I'd be impressed. Or am I still missing something?
No your right, all they are doing in underclocking it, so make it use less power. You could quite easily do the same thing on a current 55nm 9600GT
Correct me if I'm wrong, but moving from 96W TDP to only 59W TDP is a major, positive improvement, core voltage drop or not.
The only way to know for sure is to take an old 9600GT, down clock it to the 600MHz of this Eco version and see if it draws more than 59 TDP. If it does then obviously the volt drop via the bios flash is good for something and maybe not as gimmicky as I had said earlier.
I gladly present you with the HD 4670, in case you haven't already met: Nice performance level with relatively low power draw. In CrossfireX, two are more powerful than a 4850.
I hate nowadays graphic cards because of power consumption, which for me is not acceptable, but this one interested me...
Heh, so the new 9600GTs won't need the PCI-E 6-pin connector? Excellent! Hopefully the clock drop didn't affect performance too much, meaning this should be a HD4670 killer if given a good competitive price.
I would be willing to bet that if you used this card 24 hours a day you wouldn't notice a decrease in the power that your rig used. I mean even if you were paying 50 cents per kilowatt hour it would probably amount to 50 cents worth or less and handicapping my video card to save 50 cents a month doesn't seem logical to me.
In Poland cost of energy is more than just 50 cents... and you can or not believe me, but I see the difference with use more or less power consumption devices on my bills.
50 cents per kWh? It's neat that they can drop consumption that much with modest drops in speed and core voltage.... but I've gotta wonder whether this is really useful. If they make this card into a passive/low profile card then it gets much more appetizing, but if it's using the same old cooler and size it seems like you're getting a slightly slower card to get your green ePeen going. There's relatively few applications which can't afford the 40W difference between the cards but still need a midrange discrete card.

This site complies with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information: verify here.
Cervical smear abnormality is generally encountered during routine Pap smear examinations. This abnormality may be cancerous or non-cancerous. Colposcopy is an investigation where an instrument named colposcope is used to examine the interior of the cervix. Both cervical smear examinations (Pap smear) and colposcopy are investigations to diagnose any abnormal pathology of the cervix, which forms part of female reproductive system and located in the lower part of uterus.
Cervical smear abnormality is commonly encountered during routine gynaecological examination. Although it may be seen in any age group, it mainly exhibits in young and middle aged women.
The clinical features depend upon the causative factor behind abnormal cervical smears. Some common clinical features of the vaginal infection include vaginal discharge which may be typical of the causative organism. For example, a curdy white discharge is seen in candidiasis and a greenish vaginal discharge with fishy odour is characteristic of trichomoniasis. Cervical smear abnormality may also be seen in the cancerous condition of the cervix wherein the patient may present with foul-smelling vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding between periods, pelvic pain, bleeding and pain after sexual intercourse along with loss of weight and fatigue.
Such symptoms usually warrant a Pap smear examination which should be ideally repeated, if abnormal. Then colposcopy of cervix is done which helps in examining the interior of cervix. This may be followed by endocervical curettage and cervical biopsy.
The cervical smear abnormality may be seen in several instances which may range from mild problems to serious health problems. Following are some common causes resulting in abnormal smear:
The most dreadful complication of cervical smear abnormality is cervical cancer. Very rarely colposcopy or colposcopic directed biopsy may result in vaginal bleeding.
The treatment of an abnormal cervical smear depends on its cause. Thus it is essential to evaluate the cause of this abnormality before embarking upon the treatment plan. Vaginal warts or dysplastic cells may be eliminated by procedures like cryosurgery, laser treatment and cone biopsy. Sometimes electrified loop excision called LEEP may be considered since it can be done under local anaesthesia and gives better results. Vaginal infections should be treated with appropriate medications. Hysterectomy may be considered in cases of severe dysplastic cells, especially in women who have completed their families. If Pap smear and colposcopic directed biopsy reveals cancer of the cervix, then, appropriate treatment plan involving surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy should be chalked out.
The treatment modalities include chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Surgical intervention wherein the cervix is removed along with the uterus is the treatment of choice. This may be coupled with radiation or chemotherapy as and when needed. The drug, namely cisplatin is generally the most common chemotherapeutic medication prescribed to the affected individual. Regular follow up is recommended for detecting any relapses, which may occur in the future.

Class A:
Got to the contest too late to see all of the bands in this division. Congrats to Effingham. I'm surprised to see Windsor in 3rd.
Class AA:
Rockwood Summit - I thought the music was pretty cool. But, MAN I GOT TIRED OF MACHINE SHOWS!!! So many bands (Eville, Collinsville, Rockwood Summit) all did them. I didn't like their visual too much.
Zumwalt South - I liked their show quite a bit. The beginning seemed kind of boring. Some awesome music though!
Highland - great guard!
Howell North didn't place, but took two caption awards. Congrats for that. I don't think their show was very enjoyable musically.
Granite- Fun show!
Oakville - I honestly, didn't think you guys were going to place. It's still a good band. I'm just used to the 'old' Oakville.
Lindbergh - GREAT JOB! Awesome band!
Howell Central - didn't quite get the show.
Collinsville - machine show. Fun to listen to at points. Not a very visually exciting show for me.
Belleville East - Some cool ideas at play here with 'Control' A crowd friendly show!
Edwardsville - Nice music. I didn't like the extended voice overs much. I felt as thought your visual design was a little strange.
Just me 2 cents. Fun show tonight from all bands!!

Updates are abound for our short film, "Marrow". In case you missed the announcement. I am working on a short, independent film titles "Marrow" – an apocalyptic tale of morality where our protagonist, Lindsay, must fend for herself and her younger siblings in a dangerous world.
First, if you look above, you will see our new teaser poster for the film. I have been scouting the local area in search of an abandoned silo where one of our characters calls his home. Found a few potential locations but still have to hunker down what will be the final shooting location.
Next, we have some audio updates. We now have Alan Zapata on board with audio engineering. You can take a look at his impressive resume by visiting his website at http://www.alanzapata.com/. Also on board is talented composer Andrew Senna who is sure to add an awesome soundtrack to our film.
To check out our video updates and/or to donate to the film, please visit our campaign page at http://igg.me/at/marrowshort/x/2697502 and be sure to click on the "Updates" tab! We are getting closer to the end date of the campaign and still need all the help we can get.

AMC Loews Factoria Cinemas
3505 Factoria Boulevard SE,
2 people favorited this theater
Showing 9 comments
Since AMC has not converted this cinema to digital, something tells me it is not long for this world.
you all are spot on. This location opened aug. 22 1980 with 3 screens (currently 3-5) then in dec 1982 2 more screens were added (currently 1-2) and not too long after the final 3 screens were added. It replaced Sunset drive-in (which opened in 1954). AMC bought Lowes who bought Cineplex Odeon who bought it from SRO. There's quite a bit of history in this little 8 screen building.
This opened on August 22nd, 1980 with three cinemas and expanded to five cinemas on December 16th, 1982. Grand opening ads posted in the photo section.
I always assumed it started life as a 5-plex, but a recent posting on Cinematour lists "Raiders of the Lost Ark" opening at the Factoria 3. My best guess is the 3 northeast auditoriums came first, making the original place similar, if not identical, to the Totem Lake Cinemas and the Sehome Cinemas. Then the 2 larger auditoriums (one 70mm capable) were added to the west. Judging by the interior and comparable SRO builds they were pre-1983. The 3 southeast auditoriums were added in 1985 I believe. Their interior is post-1983 SRO. For anyone who was a fan of SRO Theatres (arguably the best chain in the Northwest in the late '70s and early '80s) this is a well preserved example of 2, if not 3 styles of their theatres. Unfortunately Cineplex Odeon took over the SRO chain in 1986. I don't think this place will be around much longer. AMC has not converted it to digital, which it has done to everything else in the area, including (surprisingly) the Oak Tree 6 in Seattle (SRO's last build in 1986).
This theater opened in 1980 it replaced a drive-in that was in the same location (you can still see the original drive in sign behind office buildings near by)
Cinematour mentions SRO Theaters (which Cineplex Odeon bought out in the Pacific Northwest)
From the map it looks like its in a good location,right off the interstate.
My wife "JOKES?" I'm better than nothing, so here's some info that's better than nothing. In other words you might not want to stake your life on it. Note the question marks after it. If you can come up with better info have at it,that's the idea, to get you doing research, you won't hurt my feelings. Remember I put down what I find, it's better than nothing or no comment!
Opened 1990?
Cineplex Odeon 1990-1998?
Loews Cineplex 2000-2005?
Anyone with more or better info or photos?

Rancho Cucamonga's former redevelopment director testified Tuesday in court that Councilman Rex Gutierrez was anxious to push through, at her opposition, a $42.5 million low-income housing project benefiting developer Jeff Burum.
Linda Daniels, who is now the city's deputy city manager of economic and community development, took the witness stand Tuesday in San Bernardino Superior Court during Gutierrez's criminal trial.
Daniels said Gutierrez was insistent on fast-tracking the project, which entailed the refurbishing of four apartment complexes for low income housing, provision of an additional 60 units and an extension of the city's covenants, which would guarantee about 550 units of low income housing in the city for 99 years.
Gutierrez, prosecutors allege, was shepherding the project for Burum's nonprofit National Community Renaissance, or National CORE.
Daniels' main point of contention, she said, was that National CORE's proposal called for an extension of low income housing covenants for 99 years, but the city's existing covenants weren't due to expire until 2023 and 2026. Therefore, an extension was unnecessary.
It created friction between Daniels and Gutierrez.
Following a June 20, 2007 housing subcommittee meeting, Gutierrez, Daniels said, was vocal with her for not agendizing the proposed project.
"He was disappointed that the item was not on the agenda, and felt that I was an obstructionist and a barrier from keeping this proposal from moving forward," Daniels said.
Gutierrez and Councilman L. Dennis Michael compose the city's two-man housing subcommittee.
During a meeting of the housing subcommittee on July 9, 2007, Daniels' opposition to the project became another sore point for Gutierrez, Daniels said.
"Mr. Gutierrez stated that he was concerned how this would affect National CORE's cash flow," Daniels said.
Gutierrez, 50, is one of five former executives at the county assessor's office, including former Assessor Bill Postmus, charged in a scandal that hit the office in 2007 and 2008. He is accused of conspiracy to commit a crime, grand theft and filing a fraudulent claim.
Prosecutors allege Postmus hired Gutierrez at the assessor's office as a political favor to Burum, and Gutierrez was using the county office to bolster his political career and perform primarily Rancho Cucamonga work. They allege Gutierrez's hiring was part of a quid pro quo between the three.
Postmus and Gutierrez, prosecutors allege in their criminal complaint, depended on Burum for political financial support, and Burum depended on Gutierrez and Postmus to support his development interests in Rancho Cucamonga and the county.
All three deny the allegations. Burum has not been charged with any crime, and maintains prosecutors are trumping up allegations for political gain, and that their case hinges on the testimony of former assistant assessor Adam Aleman, who has pleaded no contest to four felonies in exchange for a lighter sentence for cooperating with authorities and testifying against his former colleagues.
Despite Daniels' concerns over the project, the Rancho Cucamonga City Council voted 4-0, with Mayor Don Kurth absent, to approve it in August 2007. Daniels was on vacation at the time. City Manager Jack Lam was also absent.
Gutierrez's attorney, Jim Reiss, questioned Daniels about the city's previous dealings with Burum's nonprofit, when it went by the name Southern California Housing. He mentioned the city approved four of Southern California Housing's projects prior to 2005.
"You did recommend each and every project, right?" Reiss asked.
"Yes," Daniels replied.
Reiss said the city has approved high-priced low income housing projects for other developers, including a $40 million project approved in 2005, and that National CORE's project was no different.
He said the $42.5 million project approved in 2007 is, in essence, the same project proposed in 2005 for $14 million, with only more units and a guarantee to provide low-income housing for 99 years instead of 55 years.
In addition, $13 million of the $42.5 million is to cover housing rehabilitation over the 99-year period, Reiss said.
In earlier testimony Tuesday, Councilman Sam Spagnolo said Gutierrez never, at any time, pressured him to vote in favor of the project, and his decision was purely his own.
"You felt it was a good deal for the city, correct?" Reiss asked.
"Yes," Spagnolo replied.
Councilman L. Dennis Michael said during his testimony that he felt he received all the information he felt was necessary to convince him to vote in favor of the project, and that Gutierrez did nothing to influence his vote.
Prosecutor John Goritz drilled Spagnolo and Michael with questions about Gutierrez's enthusiasm for the project, which met with repeated objections from Reiss, most of which were sustained by Judge Duke D. Rouse.
One question did stick.
"Are you aware of any projects of Burum's that the defendant did not support?" Goritz asked Michael.
"Not to my knowledge," Michael replied.

That's 'our child #184 in pic #5, Joe also played it again in Des Moines,Ia for the ENCORE performance of Just Got Paid......he gave me the guitar at a show in Cleveland,Ohio and it was autographed that night......To Patty, I know my baby is in good hands, Love Joe' .the strap he used in this particular photo was in the case and Joe wrote on it, 'To Patty, Thanks for letting me borrow your guitar!' To say it's an honor to own this guitar is an understatement. Joe is the best!

Definitely factory Bigsby...no extra tailpiece holes. Anyway Joe used it all over the new Beth Hart/Joe Bonamassa album, 'Don't Explain,' which (we believe) is going to win some Grammy nominations for sure! Will be released in mid September.

HGG, great info bit. I believe those Gibson's both 225 and 125 are true hollobodies, and the P-90 configuration very popular for that time frame just sounds amazing. I am not thoroughly convinced that was a 'factory' Bigsby. I agree, Guild Guitar co picked up on that with Statfire II and Starfire III and in the late 90's did produce their version of ES-225 with P90 & Bigsby. http://shufflocity.wordpress.com/2008/12 /17/a-new-guitar-guild-starfire-iii-90/ Here's my take, why wont Bonamassa play this guitar?? Iv only seen the photos of him holding it.

I think Joe is an amazing player whom I really like but I would love to hear him on a hopped up Strat. I love Les Pauls and I own one but to me the blues are meant to be played on a Strat. Love the new Dust Bowl material!

Two versions of the Morse. That is the newer scheme, which makes the bridge look like a triple coil. The old version had the slant single in the middle.

Things I liked:Great pistol, accurate with plenty of power. Looks and feels t just like the original. I would choose this gun over the steel BB version ( I have both). Both power and accuracy are better than the BB version plus I think the safety factor is a little higher with this model. Try it you won't be sorry. Things I would have changed:Include 12 shell instead of just 6 What others should know:Heavier BB's are more accurate with this pistol I use 0.3 gm and they work great. I would get an extra 25 shells if you are going to shoot outdoors, it's easier than trying to reload the shells without a surface to work on.

Death-defying Vermont songwriter Aaron Flinn delivers yet another solid album
The annals of rock history are littered with stars who left us far too soon. Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, John Bonham, Kurt Cobain. Sadly, the list goes on and on. And somehow, Keith Richards is still alive. Go figure.
In June 2003, Burlington almost lost one of its favorite sons. Actually, we technically did for two minutes, when Vermont native Aaron Flinn [1], 38, literally dropped dead of a massive heart attack on the roof of Nectar's. The jovial Berklee-trained multi-instrumentalist had just finished a typically high-energy show at Club Metronome. Upon leaving the stage, the folk-rocker complained of tightness in his chest and stepped outside to get some air. Shortly after, he collapsed, unconscious and without a pulse. "I'd like to liken it to something else," he says during a recent interview at Burlington's Radio Bean. "But it was like nothing else I'd ever experienced."
As he puts it, the heart attack "couldn't have gone better, really." A friend rushed to his aid and performed CPR. Paramedics arrived quickly and he was transferred to Fletcher Allen. His stay would be brief. He arrived on a Thursday night/Friday morning and was discharged that Sunday. "I'm a medical fluke," he says, beaming. "I've had severe colds that took more out of me than death did."
Unlike many fallen rockers, fast living or indulgent excess did not bring on Flinn's medical woes. "It's not like I had a coke problem I needed to cut back on," he quips. Even more curiously, his heart has completely repaired itself and he's experienced no related issues since.
So what does it all mean? "I have no idea," says Flinn, who seems unperturbed discussing his untimely demise — and subsequent rebirth. "I'm a believer that everything happens for a reason," he says. Flinn adds that while most people might look at a brush with death as a reason to cherish every day they're alive, he's always carried that outlook. "It was a good confirmation of that perspective, I guess," he says. "But I didn't come out of that experience saying, 'Now I see that life is precious."
The value and joy of life has always informed Flinn's music, which is typically upbeat, earnest and melodically catchy. His 1996 debut album and his longtime backing band carry the name Salad Days, a term for "the best days of your life," which Flinn says are "every day," without a shred of Hallmark schmaltz. Over the past 12 years he's done countless shows around the world with such luminaries as Big Head Todd and the Monsters, The Samples and Gov't Mule, and recorded seven albums — including a 42-track, two-disc epic. For Flinn life not only provides fertile songwriting fodder, but is the inspiration behind his latest, instrumental effort, Oroboros. Literally.
The album is bookended with the heartbeat of his first child, Ruby True Flinn, taken from an ultrasound shortly before she was born last year. The opening track, "I Want You," actually uses the sound of Ruby's tiny, pulsing heart to set the tune's tempo. She makes a few more guest appearances throughout the song — as does her mother, Sarah, on backing vocals — as Flinn weaves the ultrasound in and out of an upbeat ode to his then still-unborn daughter.
Despite the record's prenatal star power — how many folks can say they were rockers before they were even born? — Flinn says his latest is "really just a continuation" of his ongoing songwriting evolution. "A lot of times, I just sort of feel like an antenna," he says of his prodigious volume of work. "I'll look back, read some of things I've written and honestly wonder where it came from," he says. "The music and the lyrics just seem to find each other."
Though he's discussing his approach to song craft, one gets the feeling he's shedding light into his life philosophy as well. "As long as it keeps flowing, I'll just accept it and let it be."

Sandra Day O'Connor
Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court, presented the Mount Union Schooler Lecture in October of 1996.
The Texas-born Justice has made a hobby of redefining the role of women in the work force. Ranked third in a 102-member law-school class in 1952 -- headed by current Chief Justice of the United States, William Rehnquist-- O'Connor had a difficult time finding employment with a law firm willing to hire a woman.
But the magna cum laude graduate of Stanford University forged ahead, landing her first job as a deputy county attorney in San Mateo County, California in the mid-1950s.
Since then, she has become a role model for Americans of both sexes and all ages. During the 1960s, O'Connor served as the assistant attorney general and a state senator in Arizona, and was also appointed the first woman to serve as State Senate majority leader in 1972.
In 1974, O'Connor won the Maricopa County Superior Court Judgeship. Then in 1979 she was appointed to the Arizona Court of Appeals, followed by her nomination to the Supreme Court in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan.

It was the clash of the Grand Slam champions when Petra Kvitova and Italy's Francesca Schiavone clashed in the first round on Tuesday, the Czech coming up trumps, 6-4 2-6 6-2 at Australian Open 2013.
A year can be a long time in tennis – just ask this pair of Grand Slam champions who are both battling through ordinary form.
This time last year Kvitova was the Wimbledon champion, the second seed at the 2012 Australian Open and within striking distance of the world No.1 ranking. Schiavone, the Italian veteran, was seeded 10th and defending a quarter-final appearance from the 2011 Australian Open.
Schiavone, the 2010 French Open champion, finished the 2012 season ranked 35, her lowest year-end mark since 2002, and has lost in the first round in six of her past seven tournaments.
Kvitova retained her top 10 ranking, finishing 2012 at No. 8, but failed to reach the level of her breakthrough 2011 season. Her form early in 2013 has been scratchy, winning just one match in tournaments in Brisbane and Sydney.
It was a cruel draw for both players. There are 10 grand slam champions in the draw, with Schiavone and Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova the only unseeded two, making the odds of two champions going head-to-head in the first round low.
Kvitova got the early advantage in front of a packed crowd at Margaret Court Arena, breaking Schiavone's serve in the fifth game and serving out the opening set 6-4 in 42 minutes.
The No. 8 seed had several opportunities to break the Schiavone serve early in the second set, but in a display of grit the Italian has became known for, it was Schiavone who held firm and got a break of her own, taking a 4-1 lead.
From there Schiavone levelled the match at one-set all, taking the second set 6-2. She cut down her unforced errors, committing just five compared to 11 in set one, while at the other end of the court Kvitova was struggling with consistency, striking 15 unforced errors for the set.
In a match characterised by twists and turns, Kvitova found her range and dominated the final set, taking it 6-2. Her fire power was too much in the end for Schiavone, who was playing in her 50th consecutive Grand Slam main draw.
"It's always a big fight against her. I knew what to expect," Kvitova told the crowd after the match.
Kvitova will play Great Britain's Laura Robson in the second round.

SWsoft becomes Parallels
Virtualization specialist SWsoft is changing its name. As of 2008 the company will be using the name of its subsidiary Parallels as its new corporate identity.
Besides the name change, SWsoft is also realigning its strategy. Parallels previously played the desktop and workstation virtualization market, with SWsoft catering to the demand for virtual servers and automation solutions with products such as Virtuozzo and the free derivative OpenVZ. SWsoft is now looking to consolidate its activities under the Parallels umbrella. Parallels offers a multi-platform virtualization and automation portfolio to consumers, corporate users and service providers alike. Marketing strategists at SWsoft coined the phrase of Optimized Computing to describe the paradigm shift.
SWsoft's roadmap for 2008 is populated with product updates with Virtuozzo 4.0 due for release early in the year, and Parallels desktop and workstation to follow later on. This single-stop shopping strategy also plays to the company's new management software for various virtualization technologies. The solution will be able to control Virtuozzo and Parallels initially, with third party products to follow.
Besides new business cards and a new letterhead, SWsoft will be introducing a new logo and some new product names: SWsoft PEM and HSPcomplete will then be known as Parallels System Automation and Parallels Business Automation. The vendor will also be merging its separate parallels.com and swsoft.com websites under the parallels.com domain.
