The second edition of the Trans Zollernalb mountainbike stage race is taking place this weekend. 600 amateur and pro cyclists are covering 220km in length and 4500 meters of climbs in three consecutive days of riding in fast ground. The rubber is rolling well in Southern Germany during sunny fall weather.
BMC's got the numbers
BMC Mountainbike Racing Team is putting plenty of manpower to the start. Team captain Alexandre Moos brought along teammates Julien Tamararcaz, Yves Corminboeuf, and Balz Weber in order to have tactical options for a possible victory. Having formerly been professional cyclist on the road, Moos has a lot of experience, tactical sense, and racing fitness under his belt that he wants to use the way he won the Albstadt Marathon a couple of months ago with help of Yves and Balz.
Moos: with strong legs & high heart rate to 2nd place
"I had strong legs today. Just my heart rate was fairly high today. I got sick after last weekend's race", resumed Moos after stage one that he finished in 2nd place behind Karl Platt (Team Bulls)- an established world-class marathoner who has won every major stage races in the world. "Midway through the race we rode away in four, including former world champ Alban Lakata and Robert Mennen from Topeak Ergon Racing Team. The finale had lots of tight corners. I took one corner wrong and Karl used his chance to pass me for the win with 200m to go", unfolded Moos the race in retrospective. The quadruplet finished 2:40 minutes ahead of their 6 pursuiters.
Final pedal strokes of Balz Weber
"So far, I am not too emotional about my final days as professional mountainbiker", answered Balz Weber when asked about his feelings upon announcing his retirement. Trans Zollernalb represents Weber's second to last race as a professional athlete. Emotions might surface at the Roc d'Azur where he lines up in BMC colors for the last time in 2 weeks. Weber was disappointed today: ""ever since I had the late-summer flu, my body is tired. My hear rate has way too high also in training." His fatigued body threw Weber out of the front group at the halfway point. He ended up in 15th place 2:43 minutes down on the leaders. Julien Tamararcaz finished in solid 10th (2:40 min. behind). Yves Corminboeuf rolled in in 27th (8:04 min. down)
One down. Two to go.
Warm-up is over. Two stages to go. Tomorrow's second stage starts in Balingen and finishes in Albstadt. There are 82km to ride and 1800m to climb. What will happen to the general classification? There are four riders left with a good shot at the overall win: Race leader Karl Platt, Alban Lakata, Robert Mennen, and BMC's very own Alexandre Moos. Tomorrow will reveal some more truth.

Plans to place a rider in the breakaway Sunday at the Vuelta a España slipped away in the first 26 kilometers of the 186.5 km race when the BMC Racing Team couldn't close the gap to an initial escape group of 19 riders.
A Furious Chase
When the breakaway went after less than 10 km, the BMC Racing Team and two other teams that missed the move launched a furious chase to close a 35-second gap. But up and over the day's first uncategorized climb, the peloton split into several groups on the 20 km descent, the gap went out to a minute and eventually 10 riders comprised the day's breakaway. "I can understand not being in a move when there's four or five guys, and maybe seven or eight," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said. "But 10 or 20 guys? We have to be in that move. The guys that we needed in the break – our climbers – especially with an uphill finish like this – they missed it big time. Our other guys did a great job in trying to bring it back. Once we got to 30 seconds, they couldn't do anymore. They did the best they could. At the end of the downhill, that was it. Our race was over." Antonio Piedra (Caja Rural) soloed out of the breakaway to win the stage while Joaquin Rodriguez (Katusha Team) kept the overall lead. Steve Morabito was the BMC Racing Team's best finisher on the stage (41s

Huskers Sell 21,000 Spring Game Tickets
Buy 2014 Red/White Spring Game Tickets Here
By Randy York
Trending is a tricky word, but it was appropriate Wednesday in the Nebraska Athletic Ticket Office across the street from Memorial Stadium. For the Lincoln Public Schools, it was a snow day, but that did not prevent at least 15 people from standing in a waiting line for the Ticket Office to open at 8 a.m. An hour later, several dozen Husker football fans had bought their tickets personally to attend the annual Red-White Spring Game on April 12th. Between 8 and 9 a.m. Wednesday, about 5,000 Big Red fans purchased their Spring Game tickets online. By 5 o'clock closing time, a total of 18,500 tickets had been sold.
To me, that's trending. To Holly Adam, Nebraska's Assistant Athletic Director for Ticketing, that's business as usual. "Anytime you can sell 18,500 tickets on the first day they become available, that's a great start," Adam said, adding that the NU Ticket Office sold another 2,500 tickets on Thursday. "It's been pretty steady. While club seats are all sold out, we still have tickets left on both the East and the West sidelines. A lot of people like to buy end zone tickets, too, so it really is business as usual."
Only in Nebraska does a National Letter of Intent Signing Day spur more than 20,000 fans to buy at least a $10 reserved ticket to a game that's 1) more than two months from kickoff; 2) does not have a kickoff time; and 3) will not have official rosters until a day or two before the game.
Since Nebraska now sells reserved seats on a first-come, first-serve basis, Spring Game tickets have become a more consistent process. Still, Adam encourages Husker fans to purchase soon instead of waiting. "It's a very easy process to buy your tickets online and then print them out yourself," she said. "It's always best to have your tickets in your hand. You end up with a better seat and you don't wait around having to pick up your tickets at Will Call at the last minute."
The 5,700 sold-out club seats were priced at $15 per seat. All other reserved seats in the stadium are $10. The Ticket Office has a limit of 20 sideline/club seats per household. Accounts ordering more than that number will be relocated to end zone seating. Kids who are eighth grade and younger are admitted free, if they take the Drug Free Pledge at halftime of the Spring Game. Adam reminds fans that everyone needs a ticket, regardless of age.

NC Senate panel backs execution rule changes
RALEIGH (AP) — A Senate judiciary panel on Tuesday approved a Republican effort members say will kick-start the resumption of North Carolina executions after more than six years and help end a method for death-row prisoners seeking life sentences on racial bias claims.
The committee voted along party lines in favor of the measure that its chief sponsor says will ensure justice is carried out for those convicted of heinous murders. The full Senate could hear the bill later this week.
No one on North Carolina's death row has been executed since 2006 because of various legal appeals.
Capital punishment "is the law of the land, and it needs to be carried out until or unless the people of North Carolina decide they do not want a death penalty," Sen. Thom Goolsby, R-New Hanover, told the panel. "We have a number of families that continue to suffer. Their dead continue to rot in their graves, and they are waiting for justice in this state."
The bill places in state law mostly technical changes in part to reflect a state Supreme Court ruling that found doctors are required to oversee executions, after a state Medical Board rule barred doctors from doing so. The bill also repeals what's left of the 2009 Racial Justice Act, which already was weakened last year by the Republican-led General Assembly.
The original Racial Justice Act allowed death-row inmates to use statistics and other evidence to persuade a judge that bias influenced their sentences. Successful cases convert their sentences to a life term without parole.
But opponents, including most of the state's district attorneys, said the law had the effect of delaying the death penalty by clogging the court system. Nearly all the 150-plus inmates on North Carolina's death row filed for reviews under the law.
Legislators overrode the veto from then-Gov. Beverly Perdue, a Democrat, on the 2012 bill to scale back the Racial Justice Act by making clear that statistics alone cannot prove race was a significant factor in a death row inmate's conviction or sentence. The scope of data such as jury pool and death-penalty case statistics also was limited.
A Cumberland County judge has reduced to life in prison the death sentences of four convicted murderers who filed motions under the law. The judge ruled on three of them in December, after the Racial Justice Act was pulled back. Two of the three were convicted of killing law enforcement officers, including state Highway Patrol Trooper Ed Lowry. Some of Lowry's family members sat in the committee audience Tuesday.
The Racial Justice Act was an "ill-conceived law" that has created "atrocious outcomes," Goolsby said.
Sen. Earline Parmon, D-Forsyth, who helped get the original 2009 law passed, asked Goolsby without success to remove from the bill the repeal of the Racial Justice Act, which she said is "about ensuring fairness in our courts."
"I don't think anyone deserves to be tried unfairly," Parmon said. Goolsby said defendants still have many ways to appeal convictions and sentences in state and federal courts.
It's unclear how the law would accelerate carrying out the death penalty, because the courts must decide whether inmates who filed appeals under the 2009 version of the law will have their cases judged under the old or new standard.
A handful of committee spectators were allowed to speak for and against Goolsby's bill, including two district attorneys and Marsha Howell of Mocksville, whose 17-year-old daughter Rolanda was murdered in 1992 by the girl's boyfriend. The defendant, William Christopher Gregory, has been on death row since August 1994. Both the victim and killer are black.
The Racial Justice Act "has put this case right back to start over, and we're getting ready to suffer another how many years?" Howell asked the committee.
Gaston County District Attorney Locke Bell said he might be considered a racist under the law because the three men for whom he has sought the death penalty are white.
Tye Hunter, director of North Carolina's nonprofit Center for Death Penalty Litigation, said after the meeting that the use of statistics in making a determination of discrimination ignores the Racial Justice Act litigation.
Hunter cited the December ruling of Cumberland County Superior Court Judge Greg Weeks in reducing three death sentences, where he wrote his conclusion of racial bias was "based primarily on the words and deeds of the prosecutors involved in these cases." Now legislators want to ignore what he uncovered, Hunter said.
"It's terrible to find out that we have race discrimination, and for the state's legislature to say we're going to sweep it under the rug," he said.
The bill still would honor the outcomes of Racial Justice Act rulings before the measure takes effect if they are upheld on appeal.

N-Sider's Three Best Tommie Frazier Stories
With runs like this against Missouri, Tommie Frazier finished second in the 1995 Heisman Trophy voting. Omaha World-Herald Photo
By Randy York
Someone asked this morning if I had any good Tommie Frazier stories, and I have three. But I also want to share my first experience with Tommie and thank him for signing an 11x14-inch photograph of his fabled 75-yard touchdown run in the 1995 national championship romp over Florida in Tempe, Ariz. I'm looking at that photo right now in my office, and I will never forget how gracious Tommie was to sign it at a downtown Kansas City event. Here now are my three favorite Tommie Frazier stories, gleaned from interviews I've done with him or events I've attended:
Story No. 1…a sappy saga: My favorite story was listening to Tommie answer questions for a full hour at Bo Pelini's late July Football 202 class at the Hawks Center four years ago – the same day I met Rick Burkhead, Rex's dad. We both loved hearing Tommie talk about his on-the-field conversations with Miami All-America defensive tackle Warren Sapp during the 1995 Orange Bowl that produced Tom Osborne's first national championship. In that game, Sapp kept baiting Tommie, who was making his first start after missing the previous seven games with a blood clot. When Frazier went back into the national title game to replace the late Brook Berringer, Sapp tried to get inside Tommie's head. "Where you been Tom? Where you been?" Sapp asked Frazier, who told him his name was Tommie, not Tom. So the next time Frazier came back into the game late in the third quarter, Sapp said: "Where you been, Tommie? Where you been?" Finally, Frazier told the Football 202 class, he turned around, looked squarely into Sapp's eyes and said: "It's not where I've been … it's where I'm going, fat a _ _!" Frazier's punch line brought the house down. So did his animated impersonations of two coaches he played for at the same time – Osborne, his head coach, and Turner Gill, his position coach. For Osborne, the mock conversation was understandably slow, and for Gill, the dialogue became fast and inspired. "It was almost like Coach Osborne was on No Doz for four years, and Coach Gill was on Red Bull, the energy drink," Frazier quipped. "Try putting up with that for four years!"
Story No. 2 … a hard place to sleep: Most of us have forgotten that one of Frazier's last games as a freshman quarterback starter was a 38-24 triumph over Kansas State on Dec. 5, 1992, in, of all places, Tokyo, Japan - a mutually agreed upon replacement for a K-State home game, 6,300 miles from Manhattan. "I'll never forget that 13-hour plane ride from Kansas City to Tokyo - the longest plane ride in my life at the time," Frazier recalled in an interview "I was sitting between two big offensive linemen - Zach Wiegert and Lance Lundberg. For a while, I thought it would take forever to get there." Fortunately, though, like all good offensive linemen, Wiegert and Lundberg created some extra room for their quarterback and kept him happy. "Zach wandered off somewhere, and Lance laid down and went to sleep on the floor," Frazier recalled. When the 6-foot-5, 310-pound Wiegert and the 6-foot-4, 300-pound Lundberg vacated their seats, things opened up for Touchdown Tommie, who put the arm rests down, threw a pillow next to the window and spread himself across three large seats to take a long and well-deserved winter's nap.
Story No. 3 … mom definitely knows best: Five years ago, when I had the honor to help induct Tommie into the Nebraska Black Hall of Fame at the North Omaha Boys and Girls Clubs, he mentioned the most important life lesson he learned from Priscilla Frazier, his mother, after receiving his award. Frazier remembers how much he struggled when he arrived on UNL's campus. He also mentioned how difficult it was to go beyond southern Alabama, his previous northern-most location. Not surprisingly, Tommie got so homesick, he finally summoned enough courage to call his mom and ask if he could come home. "You can come home, but you ain't gonna live here," Tommie's mother told him and he made sure he re-enacted the conversation as closely as possible for the banquet crowd that night. "I had no choice. I had to stay in Lincoln," Tommie said before adding: "But everything worked out okay – in football and in life."

Gwen Stefani's Kidman eye

You can't see it so much in photos, but it was hard to ignore when she was on stage: Gwen Stefani's eye. You remember Nicole Kidman when one of her eyes looked f-cked up? Like she'd frozen so much of her face that she couldn't open her left eye anymore? I'm reattaching the video below. Full Story
Granny's updates?

Nicole Kidman accompanied Keith Urban to the CMT Awards last night. As I reported earlier this week – click here for a refresher – the two were together at a wedding this past weekend and were fine.

Grace Of Monaco, starring Nicole Kidman, will open the Cannes Film Festival. The photo call happened today at the Palais. We're going to come back to that in a minute. Let's start with the reviews.

Maybe Granny goes to the dentist a lot
The lovely and delightful Emily Procter – Ainsley Hayes! Caleigh Duquesne! – co-hosted The Social with us last week. It was her second time. She's THE BEST. Anyway, she told this story on the air about why – in her words – her eyebrows looked so crazy. Full Story
Better for her, worse for him?
Wenn, KHAPGG/ STARPICZ/ Splash
Nicole Kidman is currently in Australia shooting a movie called Strangeland. This is why she couldn't attend the ACM Awards with Keith Urban. As you can see, Gran's gone brown. And it works for her. Because it softens her face. It mutes the enhancements. There's something about blonde on her that highlights the tight and the fill, you know? Over in Vegas though, where Keith was winning awards and performing, it's a different story. Full Story
Katy Perry's Beatles cape

Keith Urban's Grammy face

Granny Freeze Nicole Kidman did not attend the Grammys last night. But she was there in spirit…all over her husband's face, holy sh-t. To me it looks like he completely redesigned his bone structure – full cheeks and not a line anywhere.

Meg & John in Italy

When AMD released the Radeon HD 2900 XT in May of last year, we were left with a bitter taste in our mouths. Not because the product was all that bad, but because it seemed AMD was content to leave NVIDIA uncontested at the high-end of the 3D graphics card market. If you remember, when the Radeon HD 2900 XT launched AMD had targeted the mid-range GeForce 8800 GTS, and not NVIDIA's high-end 8800 GTX or Ultra. It seemed as if AMD just didn't want to be in the fight for 3D graphics supremacy any longer and enthusiasts like yourselves, who seek nothing but the highest performing products, were left with only a single option.
Thankfully things have changed in the last few months. After the R600 shipped, AMD's engineers went right back to work. And in November AMD released the Radeon HD 3800 series of products, which were based on an updated GPU design that performed much like the R600, but with more moderate power and thermal characteristics. The new GPU, formerly codenamed RV670, still wasn't quite as fast as NVIDIA's higher-end offerings, but its low power profile gave AMD the ability to engineer the product we'll be showcasing here today, the Radeon HD 3870 X2.
The Radeon HD 3870 X2 was codenamed R680 throughout its development. Although that codename implies the card is powered by a new GPU, it is not. The Radeon HD 3870 X2 is instead powered by a pair of RV670 GPUs linked together on a single PCB by a PCI Express fan-out switch. In essence, the Radeon HD 3870 X2 is "CrossFire on a card". Take a look...
Very nice, If the price is right.. I might just pick this one up.
I appreciate the HH Review. Between Anandtech and Kyle over at Hardocp flaming about which review method is better It makes me all more appreciative for the HH reviews. I think Kyle has a point in some ways about caned benchmarks but I think its a easy work around by creating your own timedemos, like you guys did with quake wars. The subjective review is just too dependant on the person and not the actual data and you cant repeat it exactly accross the system.
Pretty terrible review. How about doing a proper comparison of the cards? It was good showing the performance of the 3700 series and Crossfire mode to the X2 card... but why only show the nVidia single card scores? It'd be a better comparison to put the SLI scores in there. Take the 8800GTX and the 8800GT 512MB in SLI mode as a comparison... as I highly doubt that the X2 comes close to either one in scores.
Hi All
I agree with you Flyin. I think that HotHardware's approach to benchmarking is the right way to go. The creation of their own time demo addresses the canned benchmark concern, while at the same time giving you a real world experience.

What I don't get is why you would use two different boards/chipsets when it was completely unnecessary. This is not good testing methodology and seems to hint at you having performed SLI benchmarks as well but then simply leaving those results out since AMD apparently rubs you guys the right way.
Yeah that's right, GeForce cards will run on crossfire boards, believe it or not.
Also, perhaps I overlooked this but I didn't see anywhere whether or not a crossfire board is required to run this card.
I guess there's a good reason I've never heard of hothardware.com before today. Wow, your forums suck too.. flash-based? bleh...
Hello general assumptions.. give me a break. They tested a single card against another single card.. They are one of the few sites that included standard crossfire numbers as well.. Why would they include sli when that is way out of the price of this X2 ? And on top of that you can see it in relation to the GTX which is basically the same price. Next time you post here make sure you read the review first because you make it sound like their being biased which youd know isnt true if you took the time to read.
They used two boards because those are the boards with "official" support for their technologies SLI and crossfire respectively. The majority of people are not gona buy a crossfire intel board and stick a GTX in it and vice versa. When you fellas grow up, ya'll come back now.

But they didn't do SLI benchmarks so using two boards was a mistake. All it did is add another unnecessary variable into the equation. Your reasoning lacks reason Brian. FAIL.
The fact is that 680i boards are a rip-off compared to P35 boards and the P35s also overclock a bit better. Hence myself and many others who've done their research are running 8800-series cards on crossfire-capable boards, because that's where the best bang per buck is at the moment. Yeah, guess what, PCI-E is a standard so they are interchangeable until you want to run crossfire or SLI.
Way to be a fanboy though.
I am really too old to be arguing about something as trivial as a pc component.. However I will explain it for you once again.. If your going to build around a Nvidia GTX would it not make sense to use a Nforce board so that one day you can put in another GTX later ? They didnt test SLI because there was no point, given the performance vs a single GTX you can clearly see that if SLI would of won. But then you are far outside of the price/performance of the single 3870x2 solution. I once again reccomend for you to read the review and not just flip through the graphs.

Davo do you guys still have the 3870x2 around ? If so, it would be great to see a few more games added to the review.
Like Bioshock!!!
One Unreal 3 game would be nice, I agree.
Sorry I keep asking questions here but I am really interested in this product because my next build I am finally going to be done with Nforce boards (thank God) and I was curious what model of the regular 3870 was being used. The reason I ask is I was thinking of picking up two of the His radeon 3870 turbo models and using them in crossfire mode. They are factory overclocked to 850 mhz and run gddr4 at 2.38 gh. So with that In mind I am thinking that combination of overclock, memory bandwidth, and crossfire should be a high performance monster.. what do you think ?
I'm sure it would be plenty powerful, but why not get 1 3870 X2 and perhaps another 1 at a later date for crossfire... ahh to have the power of 4 GPUs under the hood!!!
This is very likely the route I'll be going this year.
I have thought about that too.. but I havent decided. The high memory bandwith of the ddr 4 combined with overclock seems that the crossfire combo would be a high performer especially if the numbers HH included from their crossfire was stock reference board. I could see the overclocked versions really giving insane performance. Then again if HiS comes out with an overclocked edition of the X2 i will probably get that no questions asked
FlyinBrian: if HiS comes out with an overclocked edition of the X2 i will probably get that
I would imagine that OC'ed boards will start showing up very soon from most partners.
Hi All,
I think that'll be the card I'm getting for my build. I'm not sure if I'll go the Crossfire route or not. I will wait & see how two of the cards Scale before making that decision.
If you already have a GTX is probably isnt worth it. Unless you just want to get away from Nvidia for some reason. You could add another gtx for sli.
Getting another Ultra is a viable option, but I would venture that dual 3870 X2's in xfire would outperform their sli counterparts... couple that with the fact that I prefer Intel chipsets and it makes sense for me personally.
Hi All,
That means I'd have to go with a Nvidia Motherboard. I've no experience with them. I've always used Intel Motherboards. I'd like to hear how you Guys with Nvidia boards feel about them, are they stable? Every Intel Motherboard I've owned has been Rock Solid.
EVGA boards seem fairly descent to me if your going for an nvidia chipset. I think DFI lan party series is good too. I used my DFI lan party for like 4 years and the only reason It stoped working is I put on an after market cooler on the northbridge chip and accidently cracked it.
Davo:The subtle variances between motherboard chipsets when you're testing at high res, high AA settings and high image quality settings, are totally meaningless. The tests are GPU bound, no if, ands or buts about it.
Given that, why don't we test them on completely different boards for the *** of it then! It'll be fun! We'll have to reload Windows and everything!
You guys are awesome at missing the mark.

Hi there,
I have a 17 inch LCD monitor 1280*1024 32bit, Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 3.262GHz 466FSB ORTHOS,PRIME,OCCT,SANDRA,AND OTHER FULLY STABLE (1.86GHz Default) with Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 Motherboard (Rev. X.X WITH F7 BIOS) with 2GB Kingston Hyper-X 800MHz Memory modules in Dual Channel Mode (128bit - 64bit*2).I'm using ATI GFX-Cards FOREVER and the reason is because i don't know what the Bench sites are saying or doing but every time that i was trust any of the benchmarks i was pissed off because is like they are saying lies to me at least.Finally i want to make something about the ATI HD3870 clear and not for the ATI HD3870 X2 is that in any game i'm playing the frames are about 60F.P.S.(Frames Per Second) and up, not at least in any time of the game drops below of that at ALL FULL GRAPHICS and all Details Cranked Up - AA16X,HDR and so on...... and something else those 55nm babes and not 65nm are so easy overclockable ~1000MHz+++ core (stock cooling- within VGA BIOS modifications).

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Definitive Technology Mythos XTR-SSA3 by Marshall Chase Sound bar speakers: room-filling sound with less clutter Add big sound to your TV without a roomful of speakers. Sound bars require minimal space and wiring, and their sleek designs complement today's flat-panel TVs. Most sound bars have their own built-in amplification, so you won't need to use a home theater receiver. Some models use advanced surround processing and carefully aimed speaker drivers to simulate the effects of a full home theater audio system. A stylish upgrade to TV sound Definitive Technology's Mythos XTR-SSA3 gives you serious audio performance in an elegant sound bar design that cuts down on room-clutter. This three-channel speaker connects to your home theater receiver and takes the place of the left-, center-, and right-channel speakers of a traditional surround sound system. Six mid-bass drivers and three 1" tweeters elevate movie and TV dialogue to the forefront, where it belongs. And at just over 1-1/2" deep, the aircraft-grade aluminum enclosure makes an outstanding decorative match for your TV, so your eyes and ears will be equally happy. Thin never sounded so good The 'SSA3 uses patented Solo Surround Array (SSA) technology to vastly widen the stereo image to lifelike proportions. For complete surround sound enjoyment, mate the XTR-SSA3 with matching Mythos XTR-20BP surround speakers or any of Definitive's in-wall or in-ceiling speakers. For more bass punch add a powered subwoofer. Flexible placement The 'SSA3 speaker comes with everything you need to locate it where you like. It can be wall mounted simply using the rear keyhole slots. Plus the 'SSA3 comes with adjustable shelf support feet so you can place it on your A/V cabinet below your TV. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.

XTR-SSA3 Soundbar: The Definitive Technology Mythos XTR-SSA3 Soundbar provides three channels (Front left/Center/Front right) from one ultra-slim loudspeaker. The XTR-SSA3 Soundbar is the perfect audio solution when you are unable or unwilling to use three discrete front speakers in your home theater. The XTR-SSA3 provides dynamic punch, wide frequency range, and broad dispersion. The Soundbar's ultra-slim design is a perfect match for today's ultra-thin flat-panel TVs. It comes with a table-top stand and is wall-mountable. Note: For complete surround sound enjoyment, mate the XTR-SSA3 with matching Mythos XTR-20BP surround speakers (735XTR20BP, sold separately) or any of Definitive's in-wall or in-ceiling speaker solutions. Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology SSA (Solo Surround Array) Technology: The Mythos XTR-SSA3 Soundbar's left & right channel arrays utilize patented SSA technology to vastly widen the stereo image to lifelike proportions. You'll enjoy a sonic image that is as wide as the wall with incredible three-dimensionality. Pure Aluminum Dome Tweeters: The XTR-SSA3 Soundbar's three 1" hyper-definition aluminum dome tweeters are the same tweeters found in Definitive's award-winning state-of-the-art Mythos ST SuperTower. The pure aluminum dome tweeters provide clarity, dynamic range, and extended high-frequency response. XTDD Technology Drivers: The Definitive Technology Mythos XTR-SSA3 Soundbar utilizes six 3.5" Definitive XTDD technology anodized Aluminum dome drivers for extraordinary performance. Using state-of-the-art computer modeling and decades of speaker design experience, Definitive engineers eliminated every inch of wasted space, optimized every part, and maximized the moving surface area of a dynamic driver to shrink it down to a very compact dimension without giving up ultra high performance audio fidelity. The XTDD drivers provide dynamic punch, a wide frequency range, and broad dispersion that flat vibrating membrane panel-type speakers simply cannot match. Enclosure Design Ultra-Thin Aluminum Enclosure: The Definitive Technology Mythos XTR-SSA3 Soundbar features an ultra-thin aircraft-grade aluminum cabinet that fits today's flat-panel televisions perfectly. By specially shaping the enclosure and incorporating stiffing ribs and channels, Definitive made the space-efficient extruded aluminum enclosure ultra-rigid and resonance-free. The magnets of the XTDD drivers protrude through the rear wall of the enclosure to further minimize depth. A thermally conductive gasket seals the enclosure/magnet interface and transfers heat from the driver's rare-earth magnet to the enclosure, making the whole enclosure a giant heat dissipater. Magnetic Grille: The Mythos XTR-SSA3 Soundbar features a black cloth magnetic grille which easily attaches and detaches from the speaker. Connections Speaker Terminals: The Mythos XTR-SSA3 is equipped with a plug-in C-clamp speaker terminal to attach your receiver's speaker wire (up to 12 AWG). Color-Coded: The speaker terminals are color-coded and labeled (+/-) to distinguish between Front Left, Center, and Front Right speaker channels. Mounting Options Placement: The Mythos XTR-SSA3 is designed for horizontal use only. The Soundbar can be positioned below, above, or in front of your flat-panel television. The XTR-SSA3 matches perfectly with 46" to 65" flat-panel televisions. Table-Top Mount: For shelf-mounting in front of or below the TV, the XTR-SSA3 comes with two different sets of adjustable feet. For shelf-mounting in front of or below the TV, the XTR-SSA3 comes with clever adjustable feet that can raise the speaker over the TV's protruding shelf stand. It can also be placed on a shelf below the TV and angled up towards your ears via the supplied shelf supports Adjustable Height Feet: Use these adjustable feet when placing the Soundbar on the same shelf as the TV. They allow you to raise the speaker over the TV's pedestal base. Adjustable-Angled Feet: Use these adjustable supports when placing the Soundbar on a shelf below your flat-panel TV. They allow you to angle the speaker up towards ear level. Note: The adjustable feet attach to the Soundbar speaker using the supplied hardware (1/4"-20 x 12mm screws). Wall-Mount: The Definitive Technology XTR-SSA3 can be mounted to the wall, above or below your flat-panel television. The Soundbar includes a wall-mount bracket and hardware, along with dual keyhole slots. Wall-Mount Bracket: The Mythos XTR-SSA3 comes with a wall mount bracket that allows direct mounting to a wall (wall-mount screws not supplied). The wall-mount bracket attaches to the Soundbar speaker using the supplied hardware (1/4"-20 x 12mm screws). Dual Keyhole Slots: The XTR-SSA3 Soundbar also features dual rear-panel keyhole slots which allow you to easily hang the speaker on the wall without any bracket by simply using two screws (not supplied). The two keyhole slots are spaced 32.75" apart.

The speaker is mounted on the wall directly below my 48" flat panel television. It sounds great with my Denon AVR-X2000 receiver and Definitive ProSub 800 (my living room is quite large). We can actually hear the dialogue in movies/shows. My wife approves of the appearance and the logo that people are complaining about is actually smaller than the LG logo on my TV. The mounting plate worked well with the speaker and the template allowed me to see how the speaker would look relative to the TV. I had to add spacers behind the plate to give me room to run the speaker wire (3 sets) back up to the conduit behind the TV. I also learned that you need flat head screws - rounded heads stick out and there is no room between the plate and the speaker. I think a speaker of this price should include mounting screws. I would have been more comfortable if there had been top/bottom holes all along the wall plate (as opposed to the sides) - it transitions to a set of single holes from left to right and my stud fell near the middle where I could only use one screw. Pros: Great appearance, good sound for any speaker (much less one of this size), various options for mounting and/or standing up Cons: Price, lack of mounting screws, difficulty routing speaker wire above the speaker when wall-mounted Was this review helpful?

It looks & feels like a quality product. Sound quality is quite good. And the fact that it's no thicker than my TV is just great. Pros: Overall size and thinness of the speaker.

Written By Art, Pebble Beach, CA on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This sound bar exudes quality. The audio is great, it's truly beautiful, and solidly constructed. I disagree with another reviewer about the logo. IMO, it's fine; not obtrusive at all. But it has a big design flaw: the connector. There is plenty of room on the back for proper connectors. Instead, this speaker has a single piece that you remove and feed all the speaker wires into. The problem is that the wires (and their bare ends) are WAY too close to each other and the whole thing is just far too compact than necessary. OK, maybe banana plugs would be overkill, but this is not a smart phone that requires ever-smaller components. It's a speaker that's almost 3 feet wide. Worse still, I am trying to mount this to swivel with the TV. The little connector does not have a positive mechanical lock, so it can too easily just pop out. Definitive, rethink this connection! If this part had been done right, this speaker would easily be 5 stars. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent product Written By JayG, Arlington, VA on Monday, February 13, 2012 I recently purchased this item along with the Def Tech Mythos 20BP surrounds. I also have a Def Tech Supercube 2000 Sub and a Denon AVR 1912 Reveiver. I have a non-ideal set up as my couch is against the back wall. I mounted the soundbar under my TV on the wall and installed the surrounds near the the ceiling angling down towards the couch. After some tinkering with the different settings on my receiver, I am extremely happy with the sound quality coming from the speakers. The voices are clear, the left and right channel sounds are also clear and expansive, and the surrounds make you feel like you are in the middle of the action. Music sounds very good as well. I highly recommend this soundbar if you are looking to a L/R/C option that is sleek looking and sounds great. Pros: Great sound in an attractive looking speaker. Cons: None 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Beautiful, but some minor annoyances Written By ggr, Philadelphia, PA on Wednesday, February 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's gorgeous, obviously, and the pictures don't actually do it justice. It is NOT a replacement for properly-configured floorstanders, bookshelves or rotating-baffle in-walls. But it IS a fantastic replacement for the tiny, tinny speakers that are probably insider your beautiful flat panel. Now, for the tough part: 1. Why, why why did they put the whole model number on the front? This is supposed to be a beautiful piece of wall-hanging gorgeousness and it says "Definitive XTR-SSA3" on the front? Why not just "Definitive" like all their other stuff??? 2. It came with the wrong mounting plate (ostensibly, the one for it's big brother 5-driver model). Not a huge deal as it hangs perfectly fine using the 2 keyhole slots on the back. Pros: Beautiful, except for the label. Nice speaker jack design. Solid, well-built. Sounds great, exactly as should be expected of something this shape and size. Cons: The front label is a horrible design aesthetic. Poor quality control (shipped wrong bracket in box). 10 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked What is the RMS on this unit?

I am looking for a new DSLR and have decided to go for a Nikon D5000. My Dad has now said he'd like to get a prosumer DSLR (he used to be a professional photographer in the days of darkrooms!) We thought we could get them at the same time so we can do a bit of a deal on them. It would also be sensible to have the same make so we can swap lenses etc.
I was thinking of suggesting that whilst I get the D5000 he could get the D90 or push the boat out for a D300s.
The only thing that concerns me is that both the D5000 and the D90 are coming up to being a year/18months old now and I wondered with the fast pace of technology if they were due to be replaced soon? Do you know any details of future replacement Nikon Models in this bracket? My fall back would be a D3000.
The alternative would be to go to Canon and get a 1000D or a 450D for me and maybe a 550D or 7D for my Dad but again are these models likely to be updated soon? (apart from the 550D which I know is new out).
I either want to make sure i'm buying the latest kit or if i'm buying an outgoing model then make sure I get a better price!!
As an avid reader of WDC, I'd hate to buy my pride and joy (having researched it for 6 months) and open next month's issue to find out it's being replaced!
Thanks and any info would be great.

E-Cigarette Forum has conducted its latest Ecigarette Survey. The initial findings have been released and although not yet complete, these preliminary results already render great amounts of details about the vaping community.
Response to the annual EFC Big Ecigarette Survey had been enormous. In only 2 weeks, there were already over 10,000 respondents who completed the 75-question survey. Data from this survey might only be disregarded and dismissed by ecigarette detractors, but for those who sincerely think that electronic cigarettes can help save many lives; these details are very helpful in painting a more accurate picture of the current vaping situation.
People behind ECF are now working on a research paper that will provide the appropriate weight to the data. This paper would be immediately released before the FDA commenting period is over.
Dual Use
Some survey questions delved into the dual use of ecigs and combustible cigarettes. 49.15% said they smoke disposable cigarettes along with vaping while 50.85% said no. 28.86% still smoke cigarettes while using rechargeable mini ecigs.
16.71% of the mid-sized ecigarette users still smoke cigarettes. 7.71% of vapers using APVs or large ecigs said they still smoke real cigarettes. 7.29 of the mechanical mod users admit they still smoke cigarettes.
From these data, it could be safe to assume that more advanced devices can provide more satisfaction to smokers so their cigarette consumption is helped curbed by vaping.
Tobacco Company Ecig
When asked if they will knowingly purchase an ecigarette device that was made by a major tobacco firm, 29.45 said yes and 70.55% said no. This is between current smokers and quitters.
Among the dual users, 53.85% are unlikely to purchase a product that they know was made by a tobacco company. This suggests that successful cessation pushes an ecig user further away from their former behavior as tobacco smoker.
Vapers' Fears
92% of the respondents said that they worry about the possibility of the government removing from the market those products they currently use.
65 % of vapers said that they are more likely to spend more money in purchasing batteries from well-known and larger companies. 57.4 said they will not spend more money for an eliquid made by a bigger and more well-known company.
The media has been presenting a lot of negative stories about electronic cigarettes and respondents were also asked if these negative tales concern them. 82.5% of the dual users said they are concerned while 71% of quitters said yes. Data show that both groups are concerned about the vaping perception in the media. Yet, it is from the group of the dual users where the greatest concern is seen.
First Ecig Purchase
Respondents were also asked where they bought their first electronic cigarette. 4.64% of the long time vapers (vaping for at least 24 months) while 9.48 of the beginner vapers (vaping for up to 3 months) said a friend gave them their first ecigs.
13.19% of the long time vapers and 16.78 % of the beginner vapers said they bought their first ecig from a general store, pharmacy or gas station. 6.19% of the long time vapers and 5.33% of beginner vapers said they bought the first device from an individual seller or a kiosk.
8.85% of long time vapers and 24.12% of beginner vapers bought their first ecig from a brick and mortar vape store. 36.77% of long time vapers and 12.46% of beginner vapers bought theirs online from a vendor of a particular brand. 25.26% of long time vapers and 13.67% bought the ecig from an online vendor of multiple brands. 5.11% of long time vapers and 13.47% of novice vapers said they bought their first ecigs from other sources like Amazon, Tobacconist and eBay.

Hoda Amine and Deborah LaBelle will receive Susan B. Anthony Community Awards from UM-Dearborn
April 14, 2010
DEARBORN / April 14, 2010---Hoda Amine, director of the Family Domestic Violence Intervention Program in her private practice Dearborn Counseling Services, and Deborah LaBelle, an attorney, professor, writer and advocate, will receive Susan B. Anthony Community Awards from the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
UM-Dearborns Commission for Women presents the Susan B. Anthony Community Award annually to members of the local community whose lives and deeds exemplify the dedication, fortitude, political agitation and involvement of Susan B. Anthony on behalf of women.
Amine and LaBelle will receive their awards during a dinner ceremony on Thursday, April 15 at UM-Dearborns Fairlane Center South Building. The event begins at 5 p.m. with a silent auction and reception, followed by dinner and an awards program.
A community activist and humanitarian supporting and fighting for justice for women, children and the elderly, Amine served as a delegate in 2004 for the Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) and traveled to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon to meet with Queen Rania of Jordan, the first ladies of Syria and Lebanon, and many other dignitaries and NGOs.
In addition, Amine has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2007 ADC Hala Maksoud Activist Award; the Spirit Award from Wayne County Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault; the 2003 Loretta Moore Award from the National Organization for Women; and the 2002 Woman of the Year Award from Henry Ford Community College.
Amine is a long-time active member of UM-Dearborns CASL SOAR Advisory Board. She also was featured in the Detroit News as one of Five of a Kind women who make a difference in their communities in 2002. Amine is a member of numerous local, national and international humanitarian and human service organizations.
LaBelle has served as lead counsel in more than a dozen class action cases that have successfully challenged policies affecting the treatment of incarcerated men, women and juveniles and their families. She has represented clients before the United States Supreme Court and in international forums. In her most recent case, LaBelle reformed the law to prevent the rape and abuse of women in a prison in Michigan, a case that prompted the jury to offer an apology to the women on behalf of the people of the state of Michigan.
LaBelle was the first American recognized by Human Rights Watch as a Human Rights Monitor for her work on behalf of incarcerated women and girls. Her publications on the topics of human rights of women in detention include Women at the Margins, Neglect, Punishment and Resistance; Ensuring Rights for All: Realizing Human Rights for Prisoners in Bringing Human Rights Home; and Bringing Human Rights Home to the World of Detention.
LaBelle is a Senior Soros Justice Fellow and, in addition to her private practice, director of the American Civil Liberties Unions Juvenile Life Without Parole Initiative. In addition, she is a recipient of Michigans State Bar Champion of Justice Award and received the National Trial Lawyer of the Year Award from Public Interest and National Lawyer Guild, Law for the People.

It's hard to say which of these (non-lawyer) wedding write-ups is more cliché-ridden: the one about the two lesbian PE teachers, or the one about the peace activists who keep their income below a taxable level so they don't give money to the Pentagon. The latter pair are way too busy rummaging through dumpsters to read the Internet, so we feel zero guilt about exposing them to ridicule in the comments. There's certainly a lot of ridiculous material there.
But on to the lawyer weddings: still ridiculous, but in a different way. Your finalist couples:

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 11, 2009) — Trainer Doug O'Neill, enjoying a Mediterranean cruise as the Hollywood Park Spring/Summer Meet winds done, will try to pad his commanding lead atop the trainers' standings with a sweep in Sunday's $100,000 Landaluce and $100,000 Hollywood Juvenile Championship.
O'Neill will be represented by filly Necessary Evil and Classical Slew — the first and second choices on the morning line — in the Hollywood Juvenile and by second-choice Repo in the Landaluce.
Repo will try to turn the tables on unbeaten favorite Well Deserved in the Landaluce after falling one length short of her while closing for second money in the Cinderella last month. They will be running an extra sixteenth in the 65th running of the six-furlong Landaluce, which lines up as follows from the rail out:
Ballistic Sue, with Tyler Baze up, carries 117 pounds and is listed at 5-1 on the morning line; Ridemetothemoon, Rafael Bejarano, 117, 20-1; Repo, Corey Nakatani, 117, 2-1; Warren's Jitterbug, Michael Baze, 115, 20-1; Well Deserved, Joel Rosario, 120, 7-5; Champagne d'Oro, Garrett Gomez, 115, 5-1, and Feeling Fancy, David Flores, 117, 8-1.In the 70th running of the six-furlong Hollywood Juvenile Championship, Necessary Evil is 8-5 on the line and Classical Slew is 9-5.
Necessary Evil won her lone start with ease under a hand ride, prompting O'Neill to test her against the boys. Classical Slew followed up a 5 ¼-length victory in his debut
with a win in the Willard Proctor Memorial Stakes in early June.
The O'Neill pair will break side-by-side in the five-horse field, which lines up as follows:
Necessary Evil, Rosario up, 114, 8-5; Classical Slew, Gomez, 120, 9-5; Grace Upon Grace, Victor Espinoza, 117, 4-1; Zip Quik, Joseph Talamo, 117, 3-1, and Coo Cachoo, Tyler Baze, 117, 12-1.
O'Neill, who sent out Azul Leon to win the 2008 Juvenile, held a 34-20 lead over John Sadler atop the trainers' standings entering Saturday's program. Six days remain at the 55-day stand.
The Juvenile will run as the third race and the Landaluce as the fifth on Sunday's ten-race program at Hollywood Park. First post time is at 1 p.m.

DAVID FLORES, PORTO MARMAY, Winner: "I knew I had the outside mare (Royal Taat), but I wasn't so sure about the one on the inside (Reba Is Tops). I thought my nose was in front of both of them at the wire. This is a very honest filly. She's been getting beat in some pretty tough races. I guess it was her turn tonight"
JULIO CANANI, PORTO MARMAY, Winner: "I didn't know who won. I got real excited. I told Flores to send her a little more today because there wasn't much speed in the race. The other day she was real wide."
