Galaxy Tab Loses Voice Capability
The US version of the Android-powered tablet won't support telephony.
We've been sure to update the Samsung's Galaxy Tab as more and more information has been revealed about the Android-powered device, but today's news comes as a bit of a disappointment. The US version of the Galaxy Tab will not support telephony.
The Sprint-carried device will only support 3G data rather than their 4G network, but the the voice functionality was stripped from the US model, which limits the tablet's usefulness as an enterprise solution, something Samsung was quick to promote when the device was first announced.
The price of the device remains unannounced.

By Friday afternoon, a link to the photos said the gallery was "private and cannot be viewed."
In Washington, Muslim leaders again condemned the attacks, sent condolences to the victims and said they were concerned with reprisal attacks against Muslims in the United States.
"Those responsible for the terrorist attacks in Boston must face justice," Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations, referred to as CAIR, told reporters at a hastily called news conference.
"The question will always come up if they are associated with our community," Awad said.
"Our community and our faith detest and deplore these actions and these individuals. We do not know the motives of these individuals but our position has been consistent. Any act of violence against innocent people is deplorable and is condemned in our faith.
"As God tells us in the Quran, if you murder one person it is as if you murdered all humanity. And if you saved one person, one innocent life, it is like you saved all of humanity," Awad said.
Imam Magid of the Islamic Society of North America said his group has set up a fund to help the bombing victims.
"These are acts of crime, not acts of religion," Benjamin Abdul-Haqq, an imam at Masjid Muhammad mosque in Washington, told the news conference.
Corey Saylor, legislative director for CAIR, said the group feared reprisals.
"We're very concerned, because in past instances some individuals have decided to go out and target further innocent people because they look different or belong to a faith that is a minority," Saylor said.
One reporter asked the leaders gathered at the news conference how they could combat radical videos that pop up on social media.
Saylor said community leaders have forcefully pushed back against what they consider radical elements of the faith.
"Unfortunately every faith has within in it heretical elements, and unfortunately young people in general will listen to those elements."
Saylor said he and other leaders would continue to push back against the heretical element "loudly and clearly."
"We will stand up, we will push back against extremists, and I'm very comfortable we'll win against them eventually."

Designer sends hidden camera in the mail, records process
When you mail a package, where does it go? Who handles it? How many steps are there in the process of it leaving point A and arriving at point B? Anyone who has mailed a package may have at some point at least idly wondered what happens to it after the post office takes responsibility, but not many have done something about it.
Dutch industrial and interaction designer Ruben van der Vleuten has. When his curiosity was piqued, he decided to mail himself a hidden camera to find out.
For a project titled From A to B, he packed a small camera into a box with a battery pack and an Arduino-controlled timer circuit and motion sensor. The camera peeked out of a small, 2-millimetre hole concealed in large black letters van der Vleuten had written on one side of the box. … Read more

Yesterday I upgraded my XBMC Eden / 11.10 Ubuntu box to 12.04LTS. This morning I experienced some judder in playback and discovered that in Settings/System/Video output some (fullscreen) options are 'locked'. To be precise; Resolution is locked to 1920x1080 (which is correct, but before I was able to change other resolutions) and Refresh Rate is locked to 0.00.
My xorg.conf does have some custom modelines for my Samsung HDTV, which have been working just fine. Disabling those didn't solve this problem.
In xbmc.log I found some errors:
# cat xbmc.log | grep ERR
10:05:26 T:139932101392256 ERROR: CXRandR::Query - unable to open xrandr xml
10:05:26 T:139932101392256 ERROR: GLX: Same window as before, refreshing context
10:05:29 T:139932101392256 ERROR: CheckDisplayEvents - no display event after 3 seconds
Xorg does not log any errors.
For reference:
xbmc 2:11.0~git20120423.cd20772-1

Thanks for your suggestion, however that never worked for me. For some reason my monitor didn't return the correct EDID values, so i had to manually edit them in an attempt to make the judder disappear. This took some time but i got it working almost perfectly in the end. I do however wonder why the command "DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr" returns the message "Can't open display" and not the list of possible refresh rates. I have ALWAYS had this, with all the previous XBMC Live and the current XBMCBuntu version of XBMC. Any ideas on that? @ daanwillems I believe the "locking" of resolution and refresh rate has been resolved in one of the recent Ubuntu updates. So if you do a "apt-get update" followed by a "apt-get upgrade" (at own risk) the problem should disappear. I do find it strange nobody else reported this problem (both end-users and XBMC developers) as it appears to have been a software problem that really did exist for a while. But i'm glad it got resolved... I will mark this thread as solved. |

Hmmm ... weird ...
Can't help you with the bug reports because i never found any! Now maybe i didn't look good enough, or not in the right places, but the few reactions i got in this thread is the only "proof" i got that this bug indeed exists. That's the weird thing. I THINK the update of the nvidia driver has resolved the problem for me. Don't know if you have an nvidia videocard, but can you do a "sudo cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version" to see which version of this driver you have installed? My driver version is 295.40. |

I am running Nvidia GT215 [GeForce GT 240] (rev a2) and driver 295.40 as well, the one that came with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I also tried 295.33, but it had the same issue.
Meanwhile I learned that the problem is actually related to the xserver coming with 12.04 and the way it offers available display resolution/refresh rates through xrandr. For nvidia cards it is currently required to have "DynamicTwinView" "false" in xorg.conf to have a sane output. Then again, XBMC still doesn't pick up the proper values, so it requires a fix there too. Also see: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/848 http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12799 Best solution is currently to stay away from 12.04 until this stuff is sorted and keep running 11.10 which has a working xserver/xbmc combination. |

I'm running 12.04 LTS with the latest nvidia-current package. XBMC says 50 hz, and I must say that I haven't yet seen any flicker or jitter. I haven't used it much, but so far, it looks fine.
I did read that the nvidia driver does funky things with the refresh rate, as other posters had mentioned. However, even though it says a goofy refresh rate for me, it still looks fine. |

People, I've also setup the modlines for my TV and Onkyo receiver. I have a pretty smooth playback and so I think XBMC should be adjusting the refresh rates accordingly. This is my output of the command:
Code: sudo DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 (minimal/server install) and xbmc from oficial repo. My nvidia driver is: Code: xbmc@gpborges-htpc:~$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia My overall playback experience is very good but for dvd and ISO playback which is very choppy. I was suspecting it could be something related to the refresh rate thingy when playing DVD disks and DVD ISOs. If you guys can sheed some light on that, please take a look here (I've added various debug logs there) ***** DVD / ISO Playback stutter ****** Linux Choppy playback / Video stutter with Eden http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=131393 [LINUX] Iso/DVD files playback issues http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=117828 Linux XBMCBuntu/Eden - DVD playback speed http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1141350 UPDATE: It doesn't happen for bluray ISOs!!! I have the full Toy Story bluray ISO and my daughter is watching it just now. PERFECT playback... I can see the refresh rates at 23.97 (or pretty close to that). I've noticed that for other DVD disks and DVD ISOs that I tried I had the refresh rate varying a lot... one fixed at 59.94Hz and the other floating around 23.97. Could anyone point me in any direction to debug this refresh rate adjustments for DVD disks and DVD ISOs? I'm willing to help to get this fixed![/color] Thx in advance! |

59.94 is a standard field rate for interlaced DVDs. It is probably an older DVD or a 4x3 aspect ratio. 23.97 is a standard film rate . You will likely find 29.97 FPS to be common as well.
If you have any PAL DVDs or RIPS you may see 25 FPS as well |

Can somesone tell me how to add 24/25 Hz manually? Right now, there is no xorg.conf, should I create one? Isn't it possible to add refresh rates manually to randr? Cheers, Walter

yes its possible. But start off with a pastebin of /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr
we had a curious issue on IRC with a Panasonic Plasma + i3 3220 only getting 23,976 when using THX cinema mode. Could be a similar issue for you.

Roberto Benigni performs Dante's Divine Comedy in Piazza Santa Croce Florence
Roberto Benigni is famous worlwide, not only as an actor, comedian, screenwriter and director, but also for his performances regarding literature. In recent years he specialized in performing Dante's Divine Comedy by heart. His shows both in TV and live are really amazing and not to be missed: they are in Italian language, but the way Benigni reads, declaims and explains Dante is beyond any language barrier.
This summer 2013 in the breathtaking atmosphere of Piazza Santa Croce in Florence, the core of Benigni performance will be on Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy Inferno and its cantos. TuttoDante is the title of his show on alternate evenings at 21.15, from July the 20th to August the 6th 2013.
Full program and details here
This event, due to the excellence of the interpreter and the magnificence of the venue, is absolutely not to be missed!

The University of Kansas Libraries
What is the appeal process for library charges?
Borrowers have the right to appeal any library charge within 30 days of the original library billing. The first step is to contact the Libraries' Circulation Business Office in person at the Watson Library Service Desk (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday), by phone to 785.864.4715, or via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Depending on where the item was checked out, you may be referred to the circulation desk at the owning location, or in the case of interlibrary loan items borrowed from another library, you will be referred to Interlibrary Loan. If resolution is reached with the owning library or ILL, the staff there will notify the Circulation Business Office of the decision. If resolution has not been reached, please feel free to contact the Circulation Business Office again.
The formal Library Appeals Form may be requested within 30 days of the original library billing. This requires completing the Appeals Form available from the Circulation Business Office. Charges will be reviewed by a 3-member Library Appeals Board appointed by University Senate.
The No-Fault Fine Reduction Policy is available once every four years for one or more overdue charges that have been incurred at the same time (not over a period of time). The policy can be applied only to overdue fines, not to lost item charges, processing fees, damage charges, or returned check fees. The Fine Reduction must be requested within 30 days of the original library billing.

MINSTER—Minster head coach Mike Lee said it best after his team downed Lehman Catholic 64-51.
"I just told the kids there are going to be nights that are not pretty and there were some rough moments, but it is better to be rough on the winning side then on the down side," said Lee.
Austin Brackman and Brandon Hoying scored 12 points apiece. Eli Wolf had 11 points.
NEW BREMEN — A three minute stretch midway through the third quarter allowed the Versailles Tigers to close up a deficit and by the end of the quarter grab a three-point lead. The Tigers hit free throws down the stretch to defeat New Bremen 58-47 Friday night.
New Bremen moves to 1-2 and 0-1 in the MAC.
ST. MARYS — St. Henry's first half was a messy affair, full of fouls on defense to go with a clunky offense. The first several possessions of the second half erased all that for the Redskins.
St. Henry scored the first 11 points of the third quarter to break things open after St. Marys had closed to within one at the half and the Redskins earned a 56-42 non-conference win at Memorial High School.
St. Henry outscored the Riders 17-6 in the third quarter to take a 42-30 lead into the fourth.
WAPAKONETA — Celina rallied in the late stages of its match against the St. Marys wrestling team at Thursday night's super-tri at Wapakoneta, earning a pair of key pins and a void in three of the last four classes to eek out a 36-34 win over the rival Roughriders.

For Tim Shea, the founder and CEO of Alpha NetSolutions, a 10-year-old managed services and cloud computing provider based in Millbury, Mass., Hurricane Sandy was a non-event for his customers. That's because of the technology advances that have come with dramatic improvements in cloud computing, Shea said, and its accompanying backup disaster recovery.
"We had a few calls, but it's business as usual," said Shea, discussing the impact of Hurricane Sandy that wreaked havoc up the East Coast. "No one has lost data. All our managed services clients are prepped for this, and we have contingencies in place. None of my customers are in fear of losing their data. If something happens we know what to do. We have been through this so many times it isn't even funny."
Although Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast this week, creating widespread damage, cloud networks held up for the most part.
[Related: Data Centers Go Into Disaster Recovery Mode For Superstorm Sandy]
The very nature of cloud computing -- the ability to host data center assets off-premise in remote, distributed data centers -- can protect data from a disaster, even if it's a hurricane that spans several hundred miles.
"One of the most understated use cases for the cloud is disaster recovery," said Zeus Kerravala, founder and principal analyst with ZK Research, a networking and cloud research firm. "The cloud is built for back up and recovery, with geographically disbursed networks."
Cloud Sherpas, A Google partner delivering Google Apps and other products to customers in a cloud model, has had few problems of network availability, said Michael Cohn, senior vice president of Cloud Sherpas.
"With Google, data doesn't live in any data center," Cohn said. "It's fragmented and distributed in multiple data centers."
Like Google, Rackspace has data centers located around the world and can ensure networks remain operational in a disaster.
"We have the tools now to build out disaster recovery using the cloud," said John Engates, Rackspace CTO. "People are going to think about having a disaster recovery in the cloud because of the hurricane this week."

Well no matter how things go here does have to I want to know a great respect for you and the whole panel thank -- I don't go out there.
I'm not that doesn't bode well does it and thought that's.
Look I was very interested in the first story you know whenever I read a study Andy in which America comes out.
Low on the on the latter.
I always look and I see that the solutions.
That the authors suggest are always -- left of center court political solution yet.
I never see a story he criticizes America and the solution is you know cutting the corporate tax rate.
Or you know opening up an -- economic freedom and you know.
In the way that up in like Hong Kong or something like that it's always a left wing thinks so I look at it -- -- -- skeptically but then.
I saw these statistics of infant mortality now those numbers can't lie right Andy.

It's a -- -- comedy -- I'd call forward.
OK look this is let's look at these visits for and infant mortality.
The -- in the chair of this study doctor Stephen Wolf he said.
Apple first of all he blamed -- on the culture we have a culture and our country that chairs his personal autonomy and once the -- is to find limits.
Too intrusive government and other entities upon our personal lives perhaps.
Of those forces act against the it would be in the ability to achieve optimal health outcomes I thought now this guy is definitely.
He's obviously running a -- study found OK let's look at the the numbers if the mortality I thought how can the US be solo in infant mortality.
But according the -- citizens calculated in countries like Canada Germany and and Austria.
A baby that's born premature weighing less than 500 grams is not considered a living child right.

Most children most incidents of infant mortality happened within the first 24 hours okay.
I'm David it only lasts a day but in in our country.
The any baby that is born has any signs of life is considered alive but a lot of these countries they're not they consider them still -- from the statistics are completely off the map so I'm not saying I don't know I have all the statistics here.
I think our viewers have to look this up.
But the thing you know you have to look at you have mortality statistics.
I have a feeling of viewers like the panel checked out allowing him.
Thought that I don't play if I don't know that baby's -- I don't really good guy in his right.
I -- yes I'm gonna give -- some real little or didn't do this so please don't be one of freedom bank.
-- -- -- -- In -- since 2042.
Of the world's 52 surviving babies weighing less than 400 grams were born in the United States what does that tell you that tells me that we have really good doctors.
Yes exactly.
And look at all these statistics the -- in the study okay.
It says now the name of the study were unhealthy than everyone else that's our own fault we die younger from diseases such as obesity.

We are far more likely to be murdered yes that's true the there's a lot of -- shooting each other and our urban centers that's true -- love those -- -- Remember we're likely to run a lot of public not to say he was eating all the states and all I know I have -- say that we have.
The the obesity and heart disease it's because we do we are -- such a wealthy country we a lot of rich foods whatnot and we can afford guns.
Yes and and were more likely to die in car accidents because we have cars anti.
We have automobiles.
So -- have -- were more likely to die in.
In highway accidents we have highways yet you don't don't the doesn't die in car accidents people -- shots today.
Definitely I don't know what -- I think this is loads and reports of any of your quote you said that we are they we have the lowest probability our -- those -- ability of living to age fifty here's your -- -- there all of those three factors.
We do die young but it is simply because of our success in our.
Our our highways in our I just eating steaks.

He was basically better than everyone else not only at cycling.
But in using PD's it was actually part he looked at it as part of the race.
And he says is an element in the competition why don't just make that part of the definition of what it means to be great cyclists in a way that auto races realize that technology that we can't.
It's great odds that's good for sure.
Think -- the -- not break out that make -- are well listen Roger if you're hurdler.
And every other hurdler is running by the hurdles and not jumping over -- aren't you gonna start not jumping over them to.

NBA@2: Houston Rockets Not Going Quietly
Posted By Bill Ingram On March 26, 2012 @ 2:00 pm In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
The Houston Rockets are probably not a playoff team. As good as they've been, pushing many of the NBA's best teams down to the wire and beating some along the way, as well, the Rockets look like they are still one significant player away from the playoffs and perhaps even contention. Still, the Rockets remain one of the toughest outs in the league, most recently coming back from a 17-point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Lakers and forcing overtime before succumbing to the defending NBA champs from Dallas. Head coach Kevin McHale's team may be out-manned on any given night, but what the Rockets lack in star power they make up for in determination.
"Compete on every possession," McHale says of his game plan. "There's big difference between playing hard and competing. Competing means you're playing hard with a purpose. Ball's on the floor, you've got to get it; ball goes up, you've got to hit your man. You've got to box out, you've got to be willing to take a hit. To set a good pick, you've got to be willing to take a hit. To go get an offensive rebound, you've got to be a willing to give a hit not to give up an offensive rebound and all of those things where you put your body on the line. That, with a purpose, that's toughness."
Not that he's making excuses, but like so many NBA head coaches McHale is struggling to hold practice even when there's time because injuries to Kevin Martin and Kyle Lowry have left the team shorthanded.
"It's hard," admits McHale, who is in his first year as the Rockets' head coach. "Our practices are . . . we had ten guys that last time we tried practicing. Last time, within the first minutes two guys went down we're down to eight so we don't have any room for air. So we've gone over stuff, we've tried to review stuff, we've a little bit of stuff, but we haven't really been able to practice hard and really polish up some areas that we need to, but that's just the way it is."
One thing that's helped the Rockets this season is the surprising play of rookie Chandler Parsons, the 38th pick in last summer's NBA draft. Parsons has gotten better with each passing month, averaging 6.0 points in December, 7.0 in January, 8.4 in February and now 12.9 in March. He was the guy teams left open from three in February, when he shot 21%,. but now he's the one making the defense pay, shooting 41% from behind the arc. He's also grabbing 5.4 rebounds and dishing 3.3 assists per game in March, and McHale thinks he'll continue to improve along those lines.
"He's played well; he just knows how to play," says McHale. "He plays hard nightly; he's a young kid who is just getting better all the time. I think there's a big learning curve for him. He's just a guy that's improving all the time, just working at his game and there's a big system maturation that happens from your rookie year to your second year. Something happens over the summer where you just get comfortable. You come into camp and guys are saying, 'okay UCLA cut' and you know what it means. He knew what Billy Donovan told him at Florida, so he didn't know anything about NBA lingo, so there's just something, a comfort level to that."
It's not just Parsons who has been so key to Houston's trend of extremely competitive games. As Lowry, who could be out for the season due to an illness, and Martin (shoulder, listed day-to-day) sit out, Goran Dragic and Courtney Lee have taken turns delighting fans in Houston. In his last three games Dragic had 16 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds in a win over the Lakers, 17 points and nine assists in a win over the Warriors, and then 24 points, eight assists and five rebounds in the OT loss to Dallas on Saturday night. As a starter this season Dragic is averaging 16.6 points, 9.5 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game while shooting 52% overall and 465 from three. Starter Kyle Lowry would love to have those numbers.
Meanwhile, Lee is averaging 13.8 points while standing in for Martin, and his impact on the defensive end of the court has Rockets fans asking if Martin should be traded to make room for Lee as a fulltime starter. The Rockets have entertained offers for both Martin and Lee, but they like the combination an awful lot.
The Rockets may not be a playoff team this season, but they are still very much in the hunt, injuries and all. The play of their supporting cast has been most impressive, and makes it even clearer that with the right star-caliber piece in the mix the Rockets could be a perennial playoff team like they were when Hakeem Olajuwon patrolled the paint. They just need to find that franchise cornerstone.
Goran Dragic On The Rise
Houston Rockets point guard Goran Dragic talks with HOOPSWORLD about overcoming injuries in a lockout-shortened season, how the Rockets stay confident, taking Courtney Fortson under his wing and more in this exclusive interview!
If you don't know the story behind Kentucky's Anthony Davis, who is the assumptive top pick in this summer's NBA draft, it's definitely worth knowing. Davis was a late bloomer, standing just 6'4″ as a sophomore in high school, and having come up playing point guard. As such, he had all of the passing, dribbling and court vision skills normally affiliated with a point guard, so when he hit a growth spurt during his junior year and grew into a small forward it make him that much more dangerous. Now standing 6'10″ after his freshman year at Kentucky, Davis calls to mind none other than Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Kevin Durant, who can bring the ball up the court and score from anywhere on the court, though he has a little bit of the Kevin Love low post ability, as well.
Davis is not a prolific scorer, averaging just 14.3 points per game this season, but he is incredibly efficient across the board. He ranks in the 95th percentile in transition, 96th percentile in the half court set, and is the best in the game – 100th percentile – when it comes to converting with fewer than four seconds on the shot clock. This season he scored 379 points on 334 possessions against man defense (94th percentile) and 99 points on 69 possessions against zone defense (98th percentile). He's not much of a post-up player (60th percentile) and isn't an ideal spot-up shooter (35th percentile), but he can certainly fill the stats sheet from everywhere else.
Davis is not nearly as good on the other side of the ball, but he is no slouch on defense, either. He spent 41% of his time defending post-up players this season, and 100 points on 155 possessions – good for a 77th percentile ranking. He allowed 86 points on 91 possessions in spot-up situations, which only put him in the 45th percentile, and was only a little bit better in isolation situations, allowing 42 points in 61 possessions for a 59th percentile ranking. He's not a defensive stopper by any stretch of the imagination, but defense can absolutely improve with hard work and coaching. He will get plenty of both in the NBA.
There is no doubt that Davis will be the top pick in this year's draft, the only question with which team will be bad enough and lucky enough to land that top lottery pick. The Charlotte Bobcats, who have just seven wins on the season, will most likely have the most ping pong balls in the mix, and Davis would sure look nice next to Bismack Biyombo in Charlotte. The New Jersey Nets could also make an even stronger case for Deron Williams to stay in town if they could add Davis to their front line alongside Brook Lopez.
It easy to get too far ahead of a player with projections of greatness, but it does seem as though Anthony Davis is set to be a franchise-changing forward for whichever team lands that coveted top pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.

Cinema and the Comics:
Two Visual Languages
March 22, 1895: the Lumière brothers project their first films to a private audience. February 16, 1896: the "Yellow Kid," the first successful comic strip character, makes his first appearance in the New York newspaper World .[4] Born less than one year apart, the two narrative media made possible by the advent of the age of mechanical reproduction then went on to widely different futures. Cinema was to become the only medium dependent upon the technological revolution of the last two centuries to be admitted into the hallowed halls of art (the "tenth muse," as it has been called), whereas the comics remained for most of their history the point at which "Art" turned her eyes with horror, the point of no return beyond which lies the realm of hopelessly and irredeemably "popular" culture. The appropriation of cinematographic techniques by comics artists has been often remarked upon.[5] Nevertheless, the relationship is not necessarily one-way. John Fell has pointed out that early filmmakers and comics artists were confronted with "common problems of space and time within the conventions of narrative exposition" (89), and that the comics developed a highly sophisticated language that in some cases anticipated cinematographic solutions to these common problems. For their part, a number of film directors, including Federico Fellini, Orson Welles, and George Lucas (Inge, xx) have acknowledged an interest in and even a debt to the comics.[6]
Cinema and the comics are both primarily visual languages. Comic writer and artist John Byrne has remarked recently that "good art will save a bad script, whereas good writing can do little to save bad art," a statement especially to the point in regards to recent mainstream comics (particularly the superhero genre) in which an increased aesthetic awareness on the part of artists has been accompanied by an almost opposite trend in plots. Both media construct a story through the juxtaposition of images, so that the relations established among them can convey the illusion of temporal and spatial development. Like cinema, a comic narrative is assembled through the succession of frames; however, whereas in film the quick succession of the frames can give the impression of actual movement, the comics have had to devise other solutions to represent movement and progression. As Daniele Barbieri explains in his excellent structural study of the comics medium, the panel itself is not simply an image frozen in time, but it can be used to represent a duration through a number of different techniques (use of motion lines, repetition of the image as with an overexposed pho-
tograph, particular arrangements of the balloons, and sound effects, etc.): "Therefore, we have one image—traditionally corresponding to one instant—within which there is a duration. With the comics, the panel no longer represents an instant , but a duration: just like cinema (230–31)."[7]
If we take this definition of the comic panel, perhaps we can establish a more useful comparison between it and the cinematographic shot as the basic unit of composition of the two media. In film, meaning is generated by the syntagmatic relation of the shots in a sequence: like the combinatory elements of articulated language, the shots are arranged along a space that is "linear and irreversible" (Barthes, 58), the previous shot preparing the viewer for a range of possibilities in the following one. To quote Roland Barthes again, "[E]ach term derives its value from its opposition to what precedes and what follows" (58). Likewise, the panels that compose the comic page, traditionally arranged for reading from left to right, from top to bottom, construct meaning by their relation to one another. However, this syntagmatic reading is paralleled by "a paradigmatic reading of inter-relationships among images on the same page" (Collins, 173), allowing for effects that are not available to cinema and that make up for the relatively static nature of the comics.
As an example, let us discuss a page of the comic book adaptation of Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula (1992), published by Topps Comics (story by Roy Thomas and art by Mike Mignola). The page reproduces the crucial scene in the frame story of Dracula's origins (so much for Bram Stoker's Dracula ). In the film, the count stabs the cross on the altar with his sword; from the gash in the wood blood starts pouring out, until it covers the whole floor of the church and submerges the body of Dracula's dead wife, Elisabeta.
The first striking element about the comic book adaptation is the page itself: the border that surrounds the panels is not white, as is common with most comics, but black. (See figure 37.) This technique can be used very effectively to connect the panels, as the borders are not as clearly demarcated. In particular, in the long panel on the bottom of the left half of the page the shadows of the gargoyles blend in with the darkness of the frame so that the latter seems to be an extension of the shadows of the church (this sense of continuity between panel and border is reinforced by the trickle of blood that reaches the edge of the page). Therefore, the smaller panels appear superimposed on this larger one, which comes to include the whole of the page.
The first two panels give a good example of how the illusion of movement can be created through static images. In the first, Dracula dips a cup in the holy water spilled in the previous page. In the next, he is shown raising the cup to his lips. In following the cup from the bottom half of the first panel to the top half of the second, the eye goes through the same
movement as the cup lifted from the ground to the count's lips. The illusion of continuity and trajectory is reinforced by the little drops of water splashed in panel one in the direction of panel two.
The next panel presents a frontal close-up of the cross, out of which blood starts flowing. Now, in a syntagmatic reading of the sequence the successive panel is the long left-hand one mentioned above. Here, the "camera" pulls back to a long shot that reveals Dracula facing the cross, his wife lying dead on the steps of the altar on which the cross is mounted. Then follows a close-up of the dead woman's face. However, the third and fifth panel can also be read vertically (a reading encouraged by the vertical thrust of panel four, and by the fact that the following panel, panel six, is directly below five rather than next to it). Thus, the blood gushing out of the cross seems to be pouring directly over Elisabeta's face, partially covering it in panel six, and finally drowning it out in panel seven. In fact, by its very shape, panel seven continues the flow of blood that started four panels above: its top edge and part of its sides are straight lines, but instead of closing into a square, as with a regular panel, they taper into the shape of a dripping red strip of blood, eventually cut off by the edge of the page itself. The blood that in the film covered the whole screen here flows throughout the page, and beyond it. Finally, in a device that may be as close as comics can come to a lap dissolve, an eighth panel is superimposed on the seventh.[8] Through it, we are carried forward in the narrative outside the frame story and into 1897 London, but the panel itself is used to establish a clear link between the two parts of the narrative, since it represents Mina's face in roughly the same position as Elisabeta's in panel five. (As we know, in Coppola's version of the story Mina is a sort of reincarnation of Dracula's beloved wife.)
Although my analysis is concerned with one single page, I would like to point out that, as Witek has suggested, "[t]he largest perceptual unit of comic-book storytelling is the two page spread (20)."[9] In fact, in the first panel of the facing page the "camera" moves back to give a full shot of Mina in a washtub, her face in the same position as in the last panel of the previous page. Above her, Lucy pours water over her head, a gesture that looks back to both Dracula filling the cup with holy water and the blood pouring out of the cross on the opposite page.

National Bike Summit
A friend of mine often says, "It's easier when the sun shines." As it turns out this is very true. There are no meetings held outdoors at the National Bike Summit yet temperatures in the mid-70's and the peak of cherry blossom season seemed to make the week just a little bit easier. With much of the United States enjoying record high temperatures for March, I had come from Rapha's North American office in snow-covered Portland, OR. The weather, the mood of the Summit, and the spirit of Washington D.C. were uplifting. It is a wonderful time to be on a bicycle. Take a look at a few of the things that helped to make this years version of the Summit a success. In no particular order - Professional Cyclists, Gingham Shirts, Art and let us not forget BikeSnob himself.
Capital Bikeshare
The District of Columbia become the first jurisdiction in North America to launch a bicycle sharing system in 2008. It was a small start with just 120 bicycles at 10 stations in downtown but did well enough to attract 1,600 members in it's first two years of operation. In May of 2010 a comprehensive new bikesharing system was implemented with over 1,200 bicycles at 140 stations serving a greatly expanded area. The bicycles are a joy to ride and in very good condition. Check out is quick and return happens in an instant. Our trips to and from Capitol Hill were quick and refreshed the spirit. The ease of use and multitude of stations make the Summit's once seemingly far-ranging destinations close at hand. Perhaps the greatest discovery of the week was Spotcycle. This mobile device app locates bike stations, updates availability (not just of bikes but also of open return locations) and creates personalized bike routes for eight bikeshare systems around the world with new systems to launch soon. Sorry, crabby cabbie, I'm happier to pedal.
Gingham Long Sleeve Shirt
With several hours, at times, between meetings on Capitol Hill I was able t= o use bikeshare to spin over to Chinatown Coffee Company for a macchiato or= to take in the sights along the National Mall. With my coat removed and placed in the front rack I was left to find suitable storage for my tie. Behold, the genius of the Gingham Long Sleeve Shirt rear pocket!
Tim Johnson's Ride On Washington
Tim Johnson's Ride On Washington has raised over $125,000 for Bikes Belong in just two years as an event leading up to the National Bike Summit in Washington D.C. Perhaps even more important than the monetary contributions is the need for increased advocacy awareness Tim is raising within the racing community. Commuter or training racer it is important to remember that we are all on the same roads. Last year we rode with Tim through much, much different weather and while this year our schedules didn't allow us to participate in the ride, we did support Tim and his crew with apparel (see Tim in the new Country Jersey above) to make the journey more comfortable. Kudos to the 20 riders along with Tim Johnson who completed the 538 mile ride.
Among those 20 riders was Velo News Tech Editor Nick Legan and his pair Grand Tour shoes. We are looking forward to Nick's review of our new shoe but we'll allow him a moment or two at the end of this week-long tour to put his feet up and rest a bit. Take a look at his recap on Velo: The Time is now for Racers to Act on Advocacy
Alexander Calder
The Architect of the Capitol calls Alexander Calder's Mountains and Clouds "The most monumental and most modern sculpture in the United States Capitol complex". Located in the nine-story-high atrium of the Philip A. Hart Senate Office Building, this enormous and impressive sculpture was the final piece of work by the renowned American artist. It has been said to be his most serious sculpture, however it comes as a welcome relief to building entrants who have hurried across town and endured yet another security checkpoint at the door. It is at once massive yet welcoming; visitors congregate under the biomorphic arches. Everyone, myself included, comes close to touch it. Among so many great works and highlights of the day, Mountains and Clouds is always a favorite.
The first day of the National Bike Summit is meetings, presentations and breakout sessions. It is often the only time during the year where advocates and industry peers meet each other face-to-face. It's an important day and a busy one at that. This year, however, BikeSnobNYC was kicking of his national book tour on the very same day in nearby Bethesda, Maryland. With a Metro rail station just two blocks from the Summit and only a 16-minute ride to Bethesda, I made the choice to miss the lunch session and took off to hear all about the Snob's second book, The Enlightened Cyclist.
This wasn't just a personal trip as we are working with the crew at the San Francisco Cycle Club to host the Snob on April 14th for a ride and a reading. He's ready, no doubt about it. As funny as I've ever heard him. Come join us for a fun afternoon with The Bike Snob even if you have to play hooky to do it.
So, thank you Washington D.C. for keeping a tight grasp on the weather patterns. And more importantly Tim, Nick and everyone else in and around the bicycle industry who descended upon Washington for what looks to be another successful Bike Summit.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- The Bearkat softball team lost an 8-0 run-rule game to the No. 10 ranked Texas A&M Aggies in six innings.
Aggie senior Mel Dumezich struck out ten in five innings while only allowing one hit, a Kim Damian single in the fourth inning. Sophomore Lauren Ainsley pitched the final inning, striking out two and allowing a single to Tori Benavidez.
The Aggie offense was powered by three home runs. Megan May hit a towering solo homerun to left field in the third inning. Nicole Morgan hit a solo homerun to right to lead off the fourth and a three-run shot to left field in the sixth.
Shelby Lancaster started for the Kats and pitched four innings allowing five runs on eight hits. Lancaster struck out two Aggies. She was able to battle out of trouble in the second and third innings before giving up two runs in the fourth and the leadoff homer in the fifth.
Meme Quinn replaced Lancaster in the fifth and didn't allow a run. Quinn then struggled in the sixth inning, allowing the three-run homerun to Morgan.
The Kats will head back on the road for tournaments at Southern Mississippi, Feb. 15-17, and at Texas State the following weekend.

Shelly Sturm woke up to rocks hitting the front window of her home. When she looked outside she saw the geyser of water.
There was not much damage to Shelly's home, until the water broke the window of a window well.
Sturm said, "The window busted out and I walk in. There's mattress floating and three inches of water, it was horrible."
There was glass everywhere, inches of water soaking into the carpet and plenty of leaves covering the carpet.
Midvale Public Works has cleaned up the situation and fixed the water main.

This is by far my favorite surf reel I use the 5000bri Version with my 12ft rod. I use this rig for sharks all the way down to pompano. This reel is smooth. The bite and run works great. Only downfall is you don't get the correct braid length as specified on the website. Other then that there is absolutely no complaint about this reel.

Article Title:
Reflecting Upon a Uranus Transit
Date Published:
- by
Bil Tierney
Uranus is a planet that seems to have little respect for our human need for stablity and permanence. It act as the Joker or Wildcard of the Universe. But it's also a Cosmic Thumbnoser, ignoring the standard applications of reason in favor of its own unique brand of "logic." Yet its actions are typically inexplicable. Uranus has no desire to first go thru the standard protocols of behavior or normal channels of conduct as set up by regulatory Saturn. This planet doesn't feel under any obligation to apologize for breaking the rules and abruptly shifting its focus. It's nature is to erratically move from flash point to flash point in an arhythmical manner. The humanness in us is baffled as to why we would even need to be dealing with such a off-the-wall principle to begin with. Why do we need periodic disruption of our carefully laid plans? Why suffer personal inner and outer "earthquakes"? What's so wrong with sticking to past tried-and-true ways of handling life? They worked then, so why quit on them now? What's so great about flirting with the fickle fates of the Unknown? And isn't Chaos usually destructive in nature rather than creative?
Uranus transits do not waste time explaining such questions to us, but get right to work scanning the "deadbeat" or dormant factors in our current life. And in no particular order of importance. Seemingly at random, Uranus zaps any old and outworn patterns we've adopted whenever an sudden opportunity has opened up; expect Uranian to work swiftly and unambiguously.
If you want to really experience a more robust thrust of the Uranian experience, go out of your way to stifle change and progress in your life. Refuse to experiment with new avenues of self-expression. Shun all state-of-the-art technologies and at all times—be mulish and do things the slow, hard way! But then also be prepared to put on your seatbelt and let the rollercoaster ride begin—for you have thus set yourself up for a major vulnerability regarding the Uranus principle; the planet is therefore compelled to shake things up for you in no uncertain terms during its next major transit.
Such a Uranus transit can be a time for us to feel stunned and jolted out of our complacency. And for once, we are not allowed much manipulation over the outcomes in store. If we were, we'd get in the way of our own best chance for true progressive freedom. That's because we'd let insecurities and self-doubts take over and stop us in our tracks from making new moves and letting go of old baggage. And so, Uranus grabs that dumb black control box from us and reuses its parts to invent a mind-powered flying machine instead! My point is that Uranus will opt for a better, ingenious way at times to help us out of our stale ruts and our heavily mismanaged Saturn scenarios.
But to go with Uranus' challenging agenda is to open ourselves up to greater levels of spontaneity. Like Jupiter, Uranus thrives on risk-taking (although Jupiter is more conservative regarding the chances it will take; it always wants to come out on top as a winner. Uranus instead often values in itself the thrill of a sudden change, even if the end-results bomb out). Uranus energy is paradoxical in that it can be all fired up and electric in its drivenness one moment, and then detached and impersonal the next. It plugs into the "peak" moment of any action or condition and quickly withdraws its focus shortly thereafter. But real life is not one continuous string of exciting peak experiences.
And so expect Uranus transits to stimulate intense but short-lived interests in people and situations that offer a momentary opportunity to break up routine patterns and introduce fresh social stimulation. We need to seize the moment and try out a few different approaches to things before the opportunity peaks out and Uranus abruptly demands another (unrelated) avenue of release. We can't afford to sit on our Uranian potential and mull things over or procrastinate until we think we feel absolutely sure about things. There are no guarantees of security with Uranus and its doubtful if our timing under its influence ever feels completely right. Part of the Uranus experience seems to be the unsettledness in the pit of our stomachs that it often creates, along with the adrenaline rush it pumps. Uranus needs us to be sufficiently wired up and ready for the break-ups and breakthroughs in our personal life it helps instigate. This doesn't have to be a weird experience, but we will need to approach life with a gutsiness and a straightforwardness that we seldom have shown in our past. Uranus is like Saturn on steroids --
attitude, in that it also signals our need to let go of the unworkable and the stagnant in our life. But it also speeds up the process and adopts an "I don't care, it's gotta go.
" stance when confronting the blocks and barriers we have created or have unconsciously allowed the environment to erect. Saturn carefully eliminates while Uranus triggers swift removals. Remember, it's the planet of lightning strikes. Sudden turnabouts in our affairs are common during Uranus transits, as the old and the obsolete are quickly shattered and swept away.
What might take their place depends upon our attempt to know the
of our individual selfhood. Living an authentic life free of socially-conditioned distortions seems to be an ultimate goal for this planet. But achieving this requires a lot of courage and the willingness to go against the grain (Uranus will always go opposite of where the mass consciouness want to go, and thus experiences exclusion from status quo endorsement.) Of course, a Uranus transit doesn't have to mean a
change of status for us. But even in less dramatic ways, we can free up our energies and psychologically rearrange our priorities in order to support our individualism and further experiment with our potentiality.
Uranus suggests we learn to wing it alone, without our former dependencies, at least for a while until we reorient ourselves better. Uranus/Venus transits pose a problem here, since Venus (our urge-to-merge) has needs contrary to what Uranus (our will to separate) strives for. We could fall hard for someone during such a transit and then later realize we'd do better being alone. Or the partner we choose gives us the Uranus impersonal-distancing routine and drops out of our (emotional) life. Somehow, we learn not to lean on someone else for all the wrong reasons. We are here to discover what we can do for ourselves
on our own terms
. I say go for it!

Underwatcher Astonishments: Amazing Ourselves into More Humane Choices
A friend became vegan last year, largely to lose weight, but also to consume a diet more aligned with her values. She loves animals and realized she didn't want to cause their suffering. But she's found remaining consistent in her eating habits challenging, and at times she consumes dairy products, fishes, and calamari. Calamari are squid, and when she wrote about her challenges remaining true to herself and her goals with her diet, I shared the above TED talk with her, "Underwater Astonishments."
I wanted to share this talk with readers of our blog, too, not only because it is truly astonishing, but also because seeing such astonishments often leads to our awe, wonder, reverence, and sense of responsibility to cause as little harm and suffering as possible. My hope is that this film will ignite your passion to protect the ocean's creatures by doing the most good and least harm through your diet and your life choices.

| Posted by Paul I. | (Oshawa, ON)They fit perfectly and were easy to install. The only issue with order was the color was lighter than I thought it would be, but that was my mistake. The UPS charges were unbelievably high.

| Posted by Antonietta R. | (Laguna Niguel, CA)I purchased this set for a new leased Honda Civic. The seat covers fit nicely. My only complaint is that the head rest covers do not loop under as pictured in the videos but are only secured with elastic around the bottom (looks kind of chintzy). Other than that, the covers are relatively easy to install (pay attention to which cover goes on what side) and they have a nice storage pocket on the back.
